Memorandum
November 6,1998
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM:
Klayton H. Eckles
City Engineer
'i-<
SUBJECT: Proposed Contractor Services for Snowplowing of
St. Croix Valley Recreation Center
DISCUSSION:
The winter season is upon us and it appears that the City will have a significant increase in
snowplowing demands. With Phase I ofthe Annexation Area now underway, the City will have the
addition of 62nd Street, 72nd Street, and the Rutherford School traffic circle added to our plowing list
Also, some type of program must be developed for plowing the recreation center parking area.
. It is proposed that existing City crews will plow the new areas of the annexation area. Since
the recreation center will have a high priority, due to its use as a park and ride lot, it will be very
difficult for City crews to plow this parking lot in a timely fashion. Therefore, staff is
recommending that Council consider authorizing the use of contractual services to plow this lot. It is
estimated that for the 1998-99 season, contractual services would cost the City approximately
$10,000. This figure could vary depending on the amount of snow we receives.
J
Staff is currently developing a contract and soliciting quotes for presentation to City Council
at the Nov~th meeting.

MEMORANDUM
.
TO: Mayor and Council
FR: City Coordinator
RE: Purchase of Snowblower
DA: November 6, 1998
.
Discussion: ',J
Accompanying this memo are copies of quotes the City has received for the purchase of a
snowblower with mower attachment. This piece of equipment is necessary to provide for
snow removal around the dome. It is very important that the snow is removed on a timely
base so that ice does not form around the base of the dome and damage the dome
material. The equipment should be of sufficient size and horsepower to effectively
remove the snow. The Cushman blower appears to be the best purchase given its size and
accessories. Staff is also recommending that a mower attachment be purchased because
of the additional grassy areas at the Rec. Center that will be need to be cut. Although the
city has similar equipment, the other equipment is needed for other areas of the city.
The cost of the Cushman blower /mower is $21,016. This is for a "demo model" blower
but new mower deck. Although the other proposals are less costly, the equipment
proposed are either too small (i.e., less horsepower) or do not have adequate accessories
according to Tim Thomsen. ~
At this time I am not sure if there is adequate funds in the construction furniture and
fixtures/equipment account to fund the purchase. However, I will have a better idea by
next week whether or not there are adequate funds. Perhaps Council could approve the
purchase contingent upon the availability of funds.
Recommendation:
Council approve purchase of a Cushman snowblower with mower attachment contingent
upon the availability of funds.

STAFF REPORTS
Chief Dauffenbach reported, in response to Council direction at the Oct. 6th meeting, he looked into the
complaints that people were parking too close to the driveways on the south side of Cottage Drive. The
curb has been painted yellow a distance back from both driveways. This should allow for safe access to
both driveways without prohibiting on-street parking any further.
Chief Dauffenbach also updated Council on the Market Place Car Wash noise issues. Both drying
systems have now been soundproofed and comply with the City's noise ordinance.
.
Also in response to a resident's complaint about excessive speeds on Co. Road 12 and unsafe conditions
in the area of Eagle Ridge and Boutwell Road, Chief Dauffenbach has requested the officers to step up
enforcement in the area. The State of Minnesota sets the speed limit on Co. Road 12 (a state aid
highway). Washington County has again requested the State do a speed survey; the last survey was

PUBLIC HEARINGS
1. This is the day and time for the public hearing to consider the Aiple property and Kolliner Park Master
Plans. Notice of the hearing was published in the Stillwater Gazette on October 9, 1998.
Community Development Director Russell presented background on the development of the park master
plans for the Aiple property and Kolliner Park. The plan preparation was ordered by Council on March 3,
1998. Three community workshops and two questionnaires have been used by the Planning Commission,
Parks Board, Historic Preservation Commission and Downtown Parking Commission in developing the
recommended master plan.
.

1
City Council Meeting
October 20, 1998
The Master Plans reflect a low intensity use. No special provisions have been made in the plan for the
possible construction of a new St. Croix River bridge; however, the "c" alternative bridge location would
significantly impact the enjoyment of the south end of the park.
.
Community Development Director Russell discussed the costs of various phases of construction and noted
many sources of local, state and federal funds are available for the development of parks in such prominent
locations with such wide user benefit.
Mr. Russell also submitted correspondence from river environmental agencies that have participated in
developing the plan. At this point, it appears the basic plans are acceptable to the Department of Natural
Resources (DNR) and the Department of the Interior. A letter from Clarence "Buck" Mallick, Executive
Director of the St. Croix Management Agency, suggests the park areas revert back to a "natural" state. In a
memo, Mr. Russell stated he did not believe Mr. Mallick's comments reflected the sentiment of member
agencIes.
John Larson, SRF Consulting Group, Inc., presented an overview of various elements of the plans.
The Mayor opened the public hearing.
1. Jay Swanson, 1309 Hillcrest Drive, stated the park plan was very well done. He urged the Council stand
firm to keep the new bridge away from the park. Not only would the right-of-way impact the park, but
there would be significant noise impact on the enjoyment of the park.
.
2. Richard Kilty, 118 West Oak, requested cost information and expressed concerns on how the plan would
be funded.
The Mayor closed the public hearing.
Motion by Councilmember Cummings, seconded by Councilmember Zoller to adopt Resolution 98-273
approving the Aiple property and Kolliner Park Master Plans.
Ayes: Councilmembers Bealka, Cummings, Thole, Zoller and Mayor Kimble.
Nays: None.
Community Development Director Russell stated the purchase of railroad land that runs along the inland
(west) side of the property is critical to the implementation of the plan. He recommended the City
obtain an appraisal of the land to use in negotiating purchase of the seven-acre site.
Motion by Councilmember Thole, seconded by Councilmember Zoller directing staff to obtain appraisal of
railroad property running along the west side of the Aiple park property. All in favor.
Recessed at 8:15 p.m. and reconvened at 8:35 p.m.

City Council Meeting
October 20, 1998
City Attorney Magnuson stated, as discussed at the first reading, this ordinance was inadvertently omitted
when the City Code was republished. This is simply an administrative action to reinsert the towing
ordinance into the City Code.
.
Motion by Councilmember Thole, seconded by Councilmember Bealka to have the second reading of ordinance
regulating towing companies and requiring licenses.
Ayes: Councilmembers Bealka, Cummings, Thole, Zoller and Mayor Kimble.
Nays: None.
2. Report: Pioneer Park Restroom remodeling, Project 9819.
Possible award of bid for Pioneer Park restroom remodeling, Project 9819.
City Engineer Eckles stated this item was discussed at the October 6, 1998 meeting. At that time,
Councilmember Cummings requested staff prepare a cost comparison of renovation and new
construction. A memo from Park Director Thomsen was submitted which stated the current footings
and structure are sound. A new structure would require the cost of demolishing the existing buildings
and footings (approximately $10,000), hiring an architect to prepare new plans (approximately $1200-
$3000), new footings, blocks, plumbing and possible new sewer and water lines. The price could almost
double. He recommended awarding the bid for remodeling the current structure.
City Engineer Eckles reported two bids were received for the remodeling of the Pioneer Park restrooms.
The bids received are as follows: Bailey Construction, Stillwater, $80,000; Jay Brothers, Inc., Forest
Lake, $88,500. He recommended accepting the low bid.
Motion by Councilmember Thole, seconded by Councilmember Bealka adopting Resolution 98-274 acceptin.
the bids and awarding the contract for Pioneer Park Restroom Remodeling, Project 9819, to Bailey Construction
at a cost of $80,000.
Ayes: Councilmembers Bealka, Cummings, Thole, Zoller and Mayor Kimble.
Nays: None.
3. Request for natural resource inventory for Phase II expansion area.
Possible award of contract with Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik & Assoc. for natural resource inventory.
Community Development Director Russell reported the Open Space Committee recommends the
preparation of a natural resource inventory for the Phase II Expansion Area (January 1999). This would
allow a complete environmental inventory of the natural features that would be used to protect area
natural resources and pattern development around them. The information could be used in a DNR grant
request to purchase a portion of the site for open space. The inventory could assist in implementing the
comprehensive plan natural resource policies and AUAR mitigation requirements. The cost could be
charged to the Phase II development as part of project review. If approved, the owner of the property
will be contacted for permission to prepare the inventory.
Sherri Buss, Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik & Assoc. (BRA), presented a proposal for preparation of the
inventory .

I enclose the petition we discussed recently regarding the McKusick Lake
townhome owners il1terest in maintaining the lake level status quo.
In light of the recent city action to futher investigate the McKusick Lake
issue, we are all in agreement that further petitioning at this point serves
no particular purpose. However, this latest initiative did further
substantiate the high level of community interest in preserving and
improving the lake. The expressions of support from so many of our area
neighbors, those who use the pathway and other interested parties has
really been encouraging.
We appreciate your guidance and efforts to bring this matter before the
city government and to look at viable options. Obviously we are eventually
looking for an outcome that doesn't sacrifice one natural resource and
community asset to other developmental interests.
Very truly yours,
~~K

Date: 8 October 1998
Subject: Petition to Maintain McKusick Lake at the Present Level
----------------------------------------------------
This is a petition to officially maintain the level of McKusick Lake at a nominal elevation
of 853.5 feet MSL. McKusick Lake has operated at this level for an undetermined
number of years and we agree with the position of the lakeshore property owners who
unanimously petitioned you to this effect on 1 September 1998.
We further submit that the draw down of the lake to the "official" DNR level of 851.7 feet
MSL for the purpose of using McKusick Lake as a holding pond for annexation
property water runoff will be detrimental to the well-being of the lake.
We believe there is a better solution to deal with the runoff problem-a solution that will
not compromise the present level of McKusick Lake. The watershed issue .
encompasses a much greater land area than the city of Stillwater. Therefore, it is our .
position that a solution must come from a comprehensive plan that is developed by
those concerned about and responsible for the watershed from several interrelated
regions of our geographic area.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and Council
FR: City Coordinator
RE: Request for traffic change to
Deerpath
DA: November 6, 1998
Discussion:
Accompanying this memo is a petition the City Council has received from residents in
the Deerpath neighborhood. The residents are requesting that the city consider
establishing a "no left turn" from Olive to Deerpath to relieve some of the traffic
congestion on Deerpath.
The traffic situation on Deerpath has been discussed several times in the past. The no left
turn situation may be a temporary solution to the traffic problems on Deerpath. However,
to do so would also probably have some impact on other streets (e.g., Brick Street).
Therefore, Council should direct staff to study this request and make a report and
recommendation to the Council. As part of the study and report development, staff would
propose to hold neighborhood meetings to identify the issues and to determine the
impacts the traffic change would have on other streets/neighborhoods.
Recommendation:
Council direct staff to prepare a report and recommendation regarding the request to
establish no left turn on Olive at Deerpath.

Stillwater City Council
Stillwater, MN 55082
.
Dear Mayor and Council Members:
The residents ofDeerpath are requesting that the City provide a "No Left Turn" sign from the
southwest approach to Deerpath, to reduce the amount of cut-through traffic and to make the
intersection safer, while waiting for the possibility of dead-ending the street at its south end.
Over recent years, with additional housing to the northwest and with the completion of the
Stillwater Market Place and the Stillwater High School, traffic has increased to an unbearable and
unsafe level on Deerpath. Continued development to the northwest and around the Hwy 36/Hwy
5 intersection will continue to increase the problem
Many of the residents attended a City Council meeting when sidewalks were proposed as a
solution to traffic problems on Deerpath and Eagle Ridge. Deerpath residents counter-proposed a
cul-de-sac solution that we felt was a reasonable solution to the problem The Council stated they
would review this proposal.
In discussions with the City Development Coordinator (Steve Russell), and the City Engineer
(Clayton Eccles), we were told that nothing significant could be done to Deerpath until the City .
adopted a Comprehensive Plan, hopefully addressing "cut-through" traffic issues all around the
city. We believe that this Comprehensive Plan has been adopted as a guideline for the City, and
would appreciate the cul-de-sac proposal be re-opened.
While waiting for the cul-de-sac issue to be resolved, we would appreciate consideration of a "No
Left Turn" sign being placed at the southwest approach to Deerpath. This option is being
presented after discussions with the City Engineer, and after review of a "Neighborhood Traffic
Control" (Traffic Calming) booklet provided to us by the City Engineer. (See attached
Introduction and Tool Box from the booklet.)
.
..
\. .
)
.
.
.
.,At the previous City Council Meeting, the following reasons were given for the Deerpath traffic
reVIew:
Deerpath is not suited to high traffic because:
· Deerpath is narrow, with vehicles often parking on both sides of the road
· Deerpath is long and windy, having an "S" shape with 2 blind comers
· Deerpath has a downhill portion, encouraging faster speeds
. There are 23 houses with driveways directly accessing Deerpath, plus Deerpath Court, with
its additional 9 houses
· Houses are situated on both sides ofDeerpath
. The entrance to Deerpath from the south is immediately following a blind downhill comer
Closing the south end ofDeerpath would divert traffic to Brick, however Brick Street would be
better suited to higher traffic because:
· Brick is presently 6 feet wider than Deerpath
· Brick Street is shorter and straighter than Deerpath
· There are only 5 houses with driveways onto Brick
· Houses are situated only on 1 side of Brick
. The entrance to Brick is not immediately next to a blind downhill comer
Providing a ''No Left Turn" sign and "Double Yellow Lines" around the comer on Olive will, we
believe, dramatically reduce traffic hindrances along Deerpath, and share the responsibility for the
cut-through more equitably. Such a resolution would provide the following benefits:
. Safer Comer - There have been several rear-end accidents suffered by people waiting to
make a left turn into Deerpath from Olive. The street sign and power pole have many scars
from wayward cars taking the comer too fast, particularly in winter!
. Better Traffic Distnoution - The Olive/Brick/MyrtlelDeerpath block would become more like
a large traffic island. Traffic travelling from the northwest to the south would use Deerpath
as it presently does. Traffic from the south to the northwest would use Brick. Traffic from
the northeast travelling south would take its current preferred route from the comer of
Myrtle and Owens, along Owens to Olive, then west and south on Olive. It is anticipated
that there would be no increased traffic traveling west on Myrtle to create a similar problem
to that at the comer of Myrtle and Brick as presently exists at Olive and Deerpath comer.

MEMORANDUM
.
TO: Mayor and Council
FR: City Coordinator
RE: Part time Police salaries
DA: November 6, 1998
Discussion:
At the previous meeting I presented Council with a request to increase the salaries for
part time police officers. I had pointed out that the part time police have not had a salary
increase since 1995. However, I inadvertently used the 1992 salary schedule to develop
the new schedule. Therefore, the request contained inappropriate salaries. I am now
requesting that the Council adopt Resolution NO. 98-282 which would establish the
appropriate salaries.
Thanks for your consideration and understanding.
.
Recommendation:
Council adopt resolution NO. 98-282 rescinding resolution NO. 98-270 and establishing
salaries for part time police officers. This item is on the consent agenda.

RESOLUTION NO. 98-282

Transfer of Property to Newman Realty
November 5, 1998
v
Excess road right of way along County Road 12 has been turned back to the City of Stillwater by
Washington County as part ofthe final plat review for the Liberty Project (see attached map).
An agreement with the County was entered into regarding future road improvements as a
condition ofthe release (see attached). In turn because the land is not needed by the City for
public purposes, it is being given back to the adjacent property owner (Newman Realty) for use
in the Liberty Project. Proposed land uses in the area or the turned back land include road, open
space, park and commercial use. The excess right of way will be added to the Liberty Project and
developed according to approved plans. This area will be restudied over the next couple of
months and come back to the City for final approval.
Recommendation: Approval oftransfer of excess right of way from City of Stillwater to Newman
Reality (resolution).

Liberty-on-the-Lake Plat / Planned Unit Development
Intersection of CSAH 1 i and CSAH 15
Dear Mr. Kriesel:
It was a pleasure to meet you, Klayton Eckles and Steve Russell October 6th at your office.
r am looking forward to working with the City on this and many other projects in the future.
.
As mentioned at the meeting, we agreed that it would be helpful if we had a written
understanding of some of the issues surrounding the right-of-way and access issues
regarding the Liberty-on-the-Lake site development. To that extent, I have included in this
letter those issues that were discussed and the appropriate action to be taken by each
agency to ensure implementation of those actions. To formalize this understanding, I have
included a signature line for both the City and County at the end of this letter.
Historv
Since 1995, the City and County have cooperatively reviewed future developments of the
former Stillwater Township property bounded by CSAH 15 (Manning Avenue) on the west
and CSAH 12 (75th Avenue) on the north. The majority of this property is owned by Robert
and Paula Kroening, although CPDC also now owns a portion of this property. Site
development reviews have been performed prior to annexation of this property by the City,
for the Newman Homestead Properties as proposed by Charles Cudd Company, and most
recently the above-referenced Liberty-on-the-Lake Development proposed by Contractor
Property Development Company (Homer Tompkins). Through all of these discussions, the
County has held a very consistent message regarding access and right-of-way dedication:
.
· 300 feet of right-of-way (150 feet each side) of CSAH 1 5 due to its probable
reclassification as a principal arterial highway.
· Access onto CSAH 15 limited to collector streets every Yz mile.
· Sufficient right-of-way is already available along CSAH 12.
· Access onto CSAH 12 limited to every % mile or, for non-continuous streets,
every 1/8 mile.
· Provisions for the incorporation of the County's "Linear Parkway" along the
CSAH 1 5 corridpr.

In December of 1997, the City submitted the Liberty-on-the-Lake plat to the County for
review. Through discussions and negotiations with the City, the County agreed to the
following conditions for accepting the plat as presented:
.
· Liberty Avenue access onto CSAH 15 was acceptable,
· A full access intersection of Settler's Way on CSAH 15 would be allowed
1,050 feet south of CSAH 12,
· A full access intersection of Rutherford Road on CSAH 12 would be allowed
1,100 feet east of CSAH 15,
· The City would be responsible for the construction of center left turn lanes
at Liberty Avenue, Settler's Way and Rutherford Road must be completed at
the time of their construction; the cost of constructing the channelized
intersections of Rutherford Road and Settler's Way will be born by the City
at the time the Co-unty reconstructs the intersection of CSAH 12 and CSAH
15in1999,
· Only 110 feet of right-of-way will be required along the east side of CSAH
15 (originally the County had requested 150 feet),
· Right-of-way in excess of 110 feet along the south side of CSAH 12 will be
released to the property owner,
· No other access between Manning Avenue and Rutherford Road, and 75th
Avenue and Settler's Way will be allowed,
· The private driveway and screening of the property opposite Rutherford Road
needed to be addressed prior to allowing a break in access along CSAH 12.
.
The December 1997 plat was the plat that the County had to review and was being used
as the basis of its comments. Most recently, the County received a new plat on August 8,
1998 that replatted the property into various subdivisions with numerous outlots. This
revised plat raised the following concerns from the County:
· The right-of-way dedication requested along CSAH 15 is not clearly defined,
· The dedication of access control along CSAH 1 5 is not clearly defined,
· The creation of numerous outlots as a part of this plat make the above two
issues ambiguous.
To discuss and resolve these issues, the County and City met on October 5, 1998. As a
result of this meeting, the following Statement of Understanding was reached between the
City and the County:
Statement of Understanding
1. The County is proposing the reconstruction of the intersection of CSAH 12 and CSAH
15 in 1999. Based on the functional classification of these roadways and to provide for
the roadway, drainage and off-roadway opportunities, the County will need 110 feet of
right-of-way from the centerline of the new roadway to accommodate this new
construction. Per the County's standard cost sharing agreement, the City will be
responsible for obtaining this right-of-way, either through acquisition or dedication of .
right-of-way through the platting process. With regards to the Liberty-on-the-Lake plat,
Mr. Nile L. Kriesel
Ot;;tober 1 9, 1 998
Page 3
.
this right-of-way (110 feet) should be reserved by dedication or platting of temporary
outlots until such time that the final design layout has been developed. Right-of-way
will be required along Manning Avenue from CSAH 12 south to the Township outlots as
denoted on the plat. Upon determination of the final layout for the CSAH 15
reconstruction project, the City will grant to the County the required right-of-way, as
noted above, up to 110 feet.
2. The County owns in excess of 110 feet from centerline along the northerly boundary of
the plat (CSAH 12). Upon successful granting of the right-of-way along CSAH 15 from
the City to the County, this excess right-of-way along CSAH 12 will be granted from the
County to the City (or adjacent landowner as directed by the City).
3. The County agrees to the access locations of Rutherford Road, Settler's Way and Liberty
Avenue as shown on the plat received August 8, 1998. As a condition of granting
these accesses, the City shall be responsible for the cost associate9 with providing
channelization for Rutherford Road and Settler's Way in conjunction with the proposed
1999 reconstruction of CSAH 12 and CSAH 15. These costs may include, but not
limited to, additional pavement widening, raised concrete medians, signing and striping.
.
4. The County owns access control along CSAH 12. No other access other than
Rutherford Road as shown on the plat will be allowed. Access control along CSAH 15
should be obtained with exceptions for Settler's Way and Liberty Avenue as shown on
the plat. The City will coordinate the development of the outlots shown on the plat in
such a manner that all outlots can be served internally via either Rutherford Road,
Settler's Way or Liberty Avenue.
This preceding Statement of Understanding clarifies and resolves the issues the County has
regarding the Liberty-on-the-Lake subdivision. As previously stated, to formalize this
understanding, I have included a signature sheet to be executed by the City and County
which will use this letter and Statement of Understanding as the framework for acti.ons
required by the City and County as the Liberty-on-the-Lake subdivision is developed and as
the CSAH 1 2 I CSAH 1 5 reconstruction project is defined.
Thank you again for meeting with Washington County on this very important issue. I look
forward to working with you on this and many other projects within the City of Stillwater
in the future.
.
I hereby acknowledge the letter dated October 14, 1998 and the incorporated Statement of
Understanding as attached herein.

Public Hearing on 62nd Street area plan
Sherri Buss of Bonestroo, Rosene & Anderlik briefly reviewed the plan, highlighting storm
water management, traffic circulation, land use, and parks and open space.
Jon Engelking, 1220 Nightingale Blvd., initially stated he was generally pleased with the plan.
He noted there had been some talk about the possibility of moving a green space area a little
farther south. Ms. Buss said engineers will determine the exact location during feasibility studies.
Mary Jo Krenik, 1165 Nightingale, asked whether there had been any consideration given to a
meter control gate for Brewers Pond. Ms. Buss responded there will be a control structures at the
ponding areas, which should improve the water quality of Long Lake.
Ron Pinc, representing Mr. and Mrs. Sid White, owners of property at 6286 Stillwater Blvd,
asked that a two-acre parcel of property the Whites own along Stillwater Boulevard (Highway 5)
be increased in density, to 18-20 units per acre, from the townhouse density as indicated in the
plan. Later in the discussion, Mr. White asked that consideration be given to the request for
increased density. Tim Nolde, potential developer of the Whites' property, indicated a
willingness to work with neighbors.
Richard Huelsmann, 12610 62nd St. N., said he was satisfied with the proposed plan, but was
surprised to hear of the proposed density change and would be opposed to any increase? density.
He also stated he hopes that the cul-de-sac on 62nd Street will be constructed as soon as possible.
He also suggested that as part of the long-range plan, the two ponding areas south of 62nd Street
and north of Highway 36 be included in the plan. It was the consensus of members to add the
future ponding areas to the plan.
Jon Engelking expressed his opposition to any increase in density, as did Phil Martin, 1018
Nightingale Blvd; a resident at 650 Nightingale; and Susan and Dan Whalen, 1180 Nightingale
Blvd.
Art Junker, 1164 Parkwood Lane, asked about paths connections. Ms. Buss said the path/trail
plans will be developed in more detail during the feasibility study.
Laurie Maher, 3018 Marine Circle, questioned the impact on the level of Long Lake if changes
aren't made to the outlet at the north end of the lake. Ms. Buss and Mr. Russell responded that
the AUAR is being followed.

David Green, council candidate from Ward 4, questioned the size of the proposed park/open
space, spaces that are not accessible to residents as awhole, and suggested that in some instances
it may be better to accept fees in lieu of park dedication.
Mr. Fontaine closed the public hearing. Mr. Rheinberger, seconded by Mr. Wald, moved to

Mr. Wald moved to adjourn the meeting at 10:35 p.m.

MEMORANDUM
.
TO: Planning Commission
FR: Steve Russell, Community Development Director V'
DA: October 8, 1998
RE: 62nd Street North Area Plan Public Hearing
Background
The Comprehensive Plan (1995) provides general land use direction for the future development
of the North 62nd Street Plan Area. Besides general land use, other planning issues for the area
are transportation, parks, trails and open space, utilities and storm water facilities. These issue
areas were not specifically addressed in the Comprehensive Plan and needed consideration
before development began in the newly annexed 62nd Street Plan Area. The 62nd Street North
Area Plan provides policy detailed project specific direction for the above-mentioned areas.
North 62nd Street Area Plan plan preparation began June 1998 with an issues/opportunities
public meeting. Notices were sent out to plan area property owners and others living in the area
(300+). After the June issues meeting a follow up alternatives meeting was held in mid August.
Additional work was needed based on comments at the August meeting in the area of hydrology
and runoff. That work has been done and is included in the fInal plan document. .
At the August meeting, the Planning Commission heard public comments mainly regarding
storm water run off and the proposed street system. The Planning Commission considered the
plan alternatives and comments at a Special Planning Commission meeting held on August 31,
1998. At that time, the Planning consultant and staffwere directed by the Commission on which
plan alternative should be included in the fmal plan document. I
Public Hearing.
The public hearing tonight is the cumulation ofthe Planning Commission, consultation and
development of the plan. The adopted plan will become a part ofthe City's Comprehensive Plan
development and provide a basis for actual development in the area when it occurs.
Recommendation: That the Planning Commission hold a public hearing, adopt the plan and
recommend it to the Council (Council Meeting November 10, 1998) for adoption as part ofthe
Stillwater Comprehensive Plan ( resolution).

Others:
Community Development Director Steve Russell
Absent:
Russ Hultman and Kirk Roetman
Mr. Fontaine called the meeting to order at 7 p.m.
Approval of minutes: Mr. Rheinberger, seconded by Mr. Wald, moved approval of the minutes
of Sept. 14, 1998; all in favor.
Case No. SUP/98-60 A subdivision request to subdivide a 21,000 square foot parcel into three
parcels of 2,900 square feet, 4,200 square feet, and 13,900 square feet at 219 N. Main St. in the
CBD, Central Business District. Mainstream Development Partnership, applicant.
Vern Stefan and Tim Stefan were present for the discussion.
Mr. Rheinberger, seconded by Mr. Valsvik, moved to recommend approval as conditioned; all in
favor.
.
Case No. SUPN/98-59 A resubdivision of Lots 1 and 2,Block 2, plus a 10 foot easement area,
McKinstry and Seeley's Addition at 404 S. Grove St. in the RA, Single Family Residential
District into two lots of 10,095 square feet. Russ Kurth, Kurth Surveying representing Frank
Biedny, applicant.
Case No. SV/98-67 A request for a street vacation of the south 25 feet of Oak Street, along the
north side of Lot 1, Block 6, McKinstry and Seeley's Addition in the RA, Single Family
JJ
Residential District, Frank Biedny applicant.
Mr. Kurth and Mr. Biedny were present for the discussion. Mr. Kurth questioned why the
recommendation was for the south 10 feet only; he said he though the north half of the street was
already vacated. Mr. Russell explained it was the city engineer's recommendation that 15 feet is
needed to accommodate possible future repairs to the storm sewer. Mr. Russell said the exact
location and depth of the storm sewer needs to be verified; based on that information, the
easement could be adjusted. Mr. Fontaine suggested that perhaps the approval should be stated as
15 feet from the storm sewer rather than a 10 foot vacation (easement).
Mr. Rheinberger, seconded by Mrs. Bealka, moved to approve the street vacation (easement) 15
feet from the storm sewer line; motion passed unanimously.
Mr. Valsvik, seconded by Mr. Rheinberger, moved approval ofthe resubdivision request. Mr.
Zoller asked if Mr. Biedny would meet the lot size requirement ifthe street vacation is less based

on the location of the storm sewer. Mr. Russell said the minimum lot size requirement would be
met; if the vacation is less, it would limit the design of a new structure that could be built on the
lot. Motion of approval passed unanimously.
Case No. V /DR/98-18 A variance to the side yard setback (10 feet required, 3 feet requested) for
construction of a 55 ft. x 55 ft. two-story classroom addition and a 50 ft x 70 ft. ambulatory
addition at 214 Third St. N. in the PA, Public Administrative Office District. James Whipkey and
Bob Ayres, representing Ascension Episcopal Church, applicant.
Present for the discussion were James Whipkey, Bob Ayres and Jane Stillman representing
Ascension Episcopal Church. Mr. Whipkey reviewed the design plans. The addition will be
constructed of the same type of materials and detailing as the existing structure. The existing
parish hall will remain, with additions constructed on both ends. The additions would be no
closer to the property line than the existing structure. The Third Street access will be maintained.
Mr. Zoller raised a question about parking. Mrs. Stillman responded that the addition will not
increase parking needs; the sanctuary itself is not being expanded. Also, the addition will not
result in any loss of existing parking spaces. Mr. Valsvik noted that according to an SEH study,
there is no parking problem along Third Street.
.
Mr. Rheinberger, seconded by Mrs. Bealka, moved approval as conditioned. Mr. Whipkey said
they were aware of all the conditions and had no problem with any of the conditions. Motion
. passed unanimously.
Case No. V/98-61 A variance request to bluff setback (40 feet required, 23.4 feet requested) for
construction of an addition to a garage at 114 Lakeside Dr., in the RB, Two Family Residential
and Bluffland Shoreland District. Jon and Deanne Stratte, applicants.
Mr. and Mrs. Stratte were present.
j/
Colleen Weiss, 107 Lakeside Dr., spoke against the request and provided a letter for the record
(attached). Also provided for the record was a letter from the Lakeview Harbor Association
signed by Mark Smith, president, indicating the Association was not opposed to the request.
Mr. Russell noted the Stratte property is in the BlufflandlShoreland District. He said Mrs. Stratte
had taken pictures showing the addition would not be visible from the river. He also said the
addition would have no impact on the Weiss' view of the river.
Speaking in favor ofthe request were Mary Mann, who stated the Strattes' request is based on a
necessity, and Pat Rousseau, 120 Lakeside Dr. Bob Knox, treasurer ofthe Lakeview Harbor
Association, said he did not sanction or write the letter from the Association; however after
reading the letter, Mr. Knox said he had no objection. Mr. Zoller asked whether the letter was

PLANNING APPLICATION REVIEW FORM
CASE NO. SUBN/98-59
Planning Commission Date: October 12, 1998
Project Location: 404 South Grove Street
Comprehensive Plan District: Single Family Residential
Zoning District: RA
Applicants Name: Frank Biedny - Russ Kurth, Kurth Surveying
Type of Application: Subdivision
Project Description: Resubdivide two lots and right of way into two lots of 10,125 square feet
each.
Discussion: This requested subdivision is contingent upon approval ofSV/98-67. If the utility
easement vacation is approved, the subdivision can be considered. If the subdivision is
approved, the existing residence would be removed and two single family residences constructed,
one each lot. The lot sizes would be 67.51' x 150' or 10,125 square feet, 10,000 square feet is
required in the RA District. Because of required utility easements, the northerly lot would be
narrow having a development width of 67.5' - 25' (utility easement) or 42.5'. A narrow house
could be constructed on the 42.5' lot. A 5 or 10 foot sideyard setback would be required from the
south property line depending on garage location.
Recommendation: Approval.
Conditions of Approval:
J
1. The design of the residence on the narrow lot shall be reviewed by the Community
Development Director before a building permit is issued.

PLANNING APPLICATION REVIEW FORM
CASE NO. SUBN/98-59
.
Planning Commission Date: September 14, 1998
Project Location: 404 South Grove Street
Comprehensive Plan District: Single Family Residential
Zoning District: RA
Applicants Name: Russ Kurth - Kurth Services, representing Frank Biendy
Type of Application: Subdivision and Variance
Project Description: A request to add 10' x 150' to existing lot and resubdivide into two lots of
10,095 square feet each.
Discussion: The request is to add 10 feet to an existing lot creating a 150' x 135' or 20,250
square foot lot and subdividing into two lots of 10,095 square feet each. There is an existing
house at 404 Grove Street on site. The house is in poor condition and would be demolished to
make way for the subdivision and construction of two residences. The lot area requirements are
met. In reviewing the request, it was discovered a utility easement is recorded over the old Oak .
Street right of way. A storm sewer and water line is within the easement. A request to vacate the
easement would need to be submitted to allow construction over the easement. With the
easement in place, the maximum building lot frontage with required setback is 25 feet.
The utility easement issue should be decided before the city proceeds with the subdivision
request so we do not create a lot that is not buildable or requires a variance based on zoning
requirements and utility needs. I
Recommendation: Continue item to next regular meeting of October 12, 1998 to allow applicant
to request vacation of utility easement (this would be heard at the same meeting).
CPC Action from 9-14-98: Continued to 10-12-98 meeting.

north side of Lot 1, Block 6, McKinstry and Seeley's Addition in the RA, Single Family

Residential District, Frank Biedny applicant.
Mr. Kurth and Mr. Biedny were present for the discussion. Mr. Kurth questioned why the
recommendation was for the south 10 feet only; he said he though the north half of the street was
already vacated. Mr. Russell explained it was the city engineer's recommendation that 15 feet is
needed to accommodate possible future repairs to the storm sewer. Mr. Russell said the exact
location and depth of the storm sewer needs to be verified; based on that information, the
easement could be adjusted. Mr. Fontaine suggested that perhaps the approval should be stated as
15 feet from the storm sewer rather than a 10 foot vacation (easement).
Mr. Rheinberger, seconded by Mrs. Bealka, moved to approve the street vacation (easement) 15
feet from the storm sewer line; motion passed unanimously.

there is no parking problem along Third Street.
Mr. Rheinberger, seconded by Mrs. Bealka, moved approval as conditioned. Mr. Whipkey said

necessity, and Pat Rousseau, 120 Lakeside Dr. Bob Knox, treasurer of the Lakeview Harbor

Steve Russell, Community Development Director
Variance to Shoreland Ordinance for Construction of Addition to Garage.
V /98-61
November 5, 1998
tz-----
Case No.
Date:
This application is coming to the Council because the site is located in the DNR Bluffland
Shoreland Zoning District. The addition is 27 feet from the bluffline, 40 feet required. The bluff
in this location turns in to form a cove and does not face the river.
The addition as can be seen from the pictures would not be readily visible from the river. The
project does not exceed the lot coverage requirements of the district.
In making their finding and recommending the project for approval, the Planning Commission
went item by item through the findings required for the variance. One neighbor spoke in
opposition to the addition because of possible view impact. This item was referred to the DNR
for comment. No comment was received.
.
If the Council approved the request, staff should be directed to prepare the appropriate resolution
to forward to DNR for certification.

representative of the Association's position; Mrs. Stratte noted that 12 of 15 neighbors had
signed the letter.
Mr. Russell reviewed the requirements for making a determination regarding a property in the
Bluffland/Shoreland District. He said an important consideration would be hardship.
Dr. Stratte explained the request, which will provide for laundry facility and bathroom, is needed
due to Mrs. Stratte's medical condition, pulmonary hypertension. As the disease progresses, the
heart enlarges and it will become more difficult for her to carry up laundry from the existing
laundry area; also handicapped accessibility to the existing bathrooms will become an issue. To
convert an existing bedroom, as had been suggested, he said would mean that their daughter
would not be able to stay with them when she visits, and it would likely impact the salability of
the home.
Mr. Rheinberger, seconded by Mrs. Bealka, moved to approve the request as conditioned based
on hardship (inability to access uses specific to the building) to the property owner.
Mr. Weidner noted the existing garage and house already are in violation of the Bluffland
setback requirements. He suggested incorporating findings that there are no violations of the
Bluffland/Shoreland regulations into the motion. The motion incorporating the findings passed
unanimously. .

Steve Hooley was present. Mr. Fontaine abstained from the case, and Vice Chair Valsvik
temporarily assumed the chairmanship. j
Mr. Hooley explained that the existing garage is caving in. The only thing that would be changed
is the installation of a two-car door, rather than a one-car. The rebuilt garage would match the
house materials.
Mr. Zoller, seconded by Mr. Wald, moved approval as conditioned; all in favor.

opposed to the proposal. She said off-street parking is available; she would have limited hours
and no employees.

To Whom It May Concern:
Jon and Deanne Stratte would like to make a small addition to the west side of their house at 114 Lakeside
Drive. The size would be about the same as a one-stall garage or 11 feet wide by 22 feet deep. This would
be within the correct side-yard setback. The addition would be used for the second stall of the garage, and
the garage stall next to the house would then be remodeled into a laundry room, larger bathroom, and
closets. The area of the existing closets would then be used for access into the new area.
.
Why do we need this addition? Deanne has Primary Pulmonary Hypension, a serious lung disease. She
has been very fortunate in that the disease has not progressed as rapidly as it has for everyone else.
However, her condition is worsening gradually to the point where carrying laundry up and down the stairs
from the basement laundry room is impossible for her. Also, an easier entry from the garage into the house
is needed as is a larger, more handicapped-accessible bathroom. Most people with this disease end up
requiring oxygen and a very complicated medicine-delivery system. A further explanation of this disease
will follow the main body of this letter.
On the west side of our property, there is an easement for the electrical and phone lines to a private boat
harbor. However, this easement was never dedicated to the public. 12 of 14 households in the
neighborhood have signed a statement that they support us in building the proposed addition.
The law regarding building on the bluffs of the Wild and Scenic River refers to how the building is viewed
from the river. The proposed addition would not be seen from the river, because our house angles slightly
north (away from the bluff) at the garage end, and it is just too far from the river. It would be
approximately 140 feet from the river. (See pictures and survey). Our house was built 33 years ago, long
before the Wild and Scenic River ordinances went into effect. We would like to adapt our house to our
current and future needs so that we can remain in the house we have lived in for 33 years.
We sincerely feel that this small addition would not be detrimental in any way to our neighbors or to the
wild and scenic river.
.
Thank you, '}-- it ~ ~~
Deanne and Jon Sratte
What is Primary Pulmonary Hypertension?
Primary pulmonary hypertension is a rare lung disorder in which the pressure in the pulmonary artery/(the
blood vessel that leads from the heart to the lungs) rises above normal levels and may become life
threatening. Symptoms of the disease include shortness of breath with minimal exertion, fatigue, dizzy
spells, chest pain and fainting. Stairs and inclines of any kind are especially difficult for the PPH patient.
The abnormally high pressure is associated with changes in the small blood vessels in the lungs, resulting
in an increased resistance to blood flowing through the vessels. In response to the extra demands placed on
it by PPH, the heart muscle gets bigger, and the right ventricle expands in size. Overworked and enlarged,
the right ventricle gradually becomes weak and loses its ability to pump enough blood to the lungs.

. Landscaping, drainage, etc.
Landscaping: The landscaping will match the existing. See pictures. If
possible, we hope to simply reuse the existing.
Drainage and grading: During the process of construction, silt containment
material will be used. Footings and block would be put in right away, so
that there should be very little disturbance of what is there now. Gutters and
downspouts would be used on the garage, emptying into an underground
drainage tube. The brick driveway absorbs a lot of the moisture and slopes
westward. The driveway would not have to be very much larger, as it
almost covers the area in front of the proposed new part of the garage now.
Grading would match the existing. The contour of the land would not be
changed. We have not had any problems with drainage on that side of the
house in 33 years, and our contractor feels that the drainage would remain
the same as it is now.
.
There is an ash tree on the south side of the garage. This will be left in
place. There is a pine tree on the west side of the garage, which is not in
very good condition. This tree would have to be removed, as the branches
would project into the ,addition. This tree is not viewed from the river, and is
about 150 feet from the river.
We have not had any trouble with our onsite sewer system. We have it
pumped once each year by Pinky's Sewer Service, and always receive a J
report that it is in fme working condition.

Appeal of Planning Commission Approval of a Home Occupation Use Permit for a
Chiropractic Use in a Residerice (Case No. SUP/98-66)
November 5, 1998
Date:
The Planning Commission approved the home occupation permit request at their meeting of
October 12, 1998. Residents ofthe area spoke for and against the request (see enclosed minutes).
The Planning Commission vote was 4-3.
The request is different from the previous application for use of the residence as a chiropractic
office. In the previous request one employee, an office manager, was proposed and the use was
temporary. In this request no outside employees other than the resident is proposed and the use
requested is permanent. Since the previous application, the home occupation use permit
regulations have been revised (see attached). The request comes under the TYPE II Home
Occupation which requires a special use permit.
A letter of appeal was received from neighbors of Oak Glen. Five residents that live in the area
submitted the appeal.
Recommendation: Action on Appeal.

Planning Commission
Oct. 12, 1998
Mr. Rheinberger, seconded by Mr. Valsvik, moved approval as conditioned; all in favor.
Case No. V/98-65 A variance to the side yard setback (25 feet required, six feet requested) for
construction of an attached garage at 109 Center St. S. in the RB, Two Family Residential
District. Dale Peterson, applicant.
Mr. and Mrs. Peterson were present Mr. Peterson explained he was actually requesting three
variances: A side yard variance (4 feet), rear yard (18 feet) and square footage for accessory
structure (32 square feet) to accommodate a three-stall garage, in addition to the house addition
(kitchen, deck). He said he needed a third stall on the garage to provide storage for numerous
pieces of equipment. He said he would be willing to forgo the request to exceed the size of the
accessory structure, however. ..
Mr. Weidner noted that owning a lot of "stuff' doesn't constitute a hardship. In the discussion, it
also was noted that the request would create a great deal of structure on the lot.
Mr. Rheinberger, moved to deny the variance for a three-stall garage and to approve a 13-foot
variance to the rear yard setback to accommodate a two-car attached garage. Mr. Zoller seconded
the motion; all in favor.
Case No SUP/98-66 A special use permit request for a chiropractic/healing practice from a
residence at 1055 W. St Croix Ave. in the RA, Single Family Residential District. Margaret
Mitchell, applicant
Dr. Mitchell was present.
Mr. Fontaine noted this issue had been before the City Council previously. The Council had
granted a permit until March of 1998. Ms. Mitchell explained that she did not pracJjce in her
home until August when an emergency situation arose that forced her to move the practice to her
home. She apologized for not appearing before the Planning Commission until this time. She
said she will not have an office manager contrary to what was indicated in the agenda packet.
She stated she would like to practice out of her home three days a week, two days a week from
an office in the Cities.
Mr. Rheinberger questioned whether the City Council had assumed authority in the matter, since
the Council had reviewed the request and said there was no option for renewal of the temporary
use it had granted. Mr. Weidner said if the applicant meets the standards for a conditional use
permit, the permit cannot be denied.
Mr. Fontaine noted that when the matter was heard before, the primary objection was the
narrowness of the road Ms. Mitchell's home is situated on and the proximity to a school and
school bus stop. Ms. Mitchell responded that the road is a privately-owned road which she pays
to have plowed, as indicated in a letter from the owner Nina Amundson. She suggested that more
4

traffic is generated because she has an eight-year-old son than is generated by her business; she
only sees one patient every hour and one-half, she stated.
Marge Jordahl, 1115 Amundson Dr., spoke against the request. She stated her concern about
allowing the use in rental property on an unimproved road. She said the business brings strangers
into the neighborhood. She stated she is opposed to setting a precedent of allowing commercial
use in a single-family neighborhood; she added there is plenty of office space available for rent.
Ann Cummings, 1060 Amundson Dr., noted she has had to appear before the Planning
Commission/City Council on three different occasions regarding this issue. She remains
concerned about kids using the street to get home from the bus stop. She said she feels strongly
that commercial use is not wanted in a residential neighborhood. .
Rich Cummings, 1060 Amundson Dr. and City Council member, noted that the primary reason
the Council denied the permit was not because the Council is against commercialism, but
because of the location of the home on an unimproved street. He noted the Council granted Ms.
Mitchell an amount of time to find another location and now she is back with the request at
"square one." The neighbors are concerned and object to the request, he stated.
Also speaking in opposition was Shelly Michaelis, 1341 Dallager Court, who expressed a
concern about the impact on property values, as well as the safety of the road, and Rick Cou1a, a .
neighbor, no address given, who reiterated a concern about safety.
Speaking in favor of the request were a neighbor, Bonnie Ramault, no address given; Gayle
Parizino, who appeared before the Commission with a similar request earlier in the meeting; and
two of Dr. Mitchell's patients, Karen Kress and Joan Zeltman.
Mr. Fontaine questioned whether this case represented a new request since the City CO}lllcil had
already made a decision. Mr. Russell responded that this was a new request. The issue, Mr.
Russell said, is whether the use would generate more traffic that a strictly residential use.
Mr. Zoller said since the permit had been denied by the Council previously, he didn't think the
Planning .Commission had the authority to rule on the request; he said he thought the matter
needed an interpretation by the City Attorney. Mr. Weidner said he. did not think the City
Council could preclude the lawful use of the property as long as the use meets the criteria of the
Home Business ordinance.
Mr. Rheinberger, seconded by Mr. Zoller, moved to take no action and refer the matter to the
City CounciL Mr. Russell suggested amending the motion to refer the matter to the City Attorney
for clarification due to the Council's previous action. Mr. Rheinberger and Mr. Zoller agreed to
amend the motion as suggested; motion failed 2-5, with Mr. Rheinberger and Mr. Zoller voting
in the affirmative.

Planning Commission
Oct. 12, 1998
Mr. Zoller moved to deny the request; motion died for lack of a second.
Mr. Weidner, seconded by Mrs. Bealka, moved to approve the request as conditioned. Mr.
Russell suggested adding the condition that there be no non-resident employee as required by
ordinance; Mr. Weidner and Mrs. Bealka agreed to add that condition. Amended motion passed
5-2, with Mr. Zoller and Mr. Wald voting no.
Public Hearing on 62nd Street area plan
Sherri Buss of Bonestroo, Rosene & Anderlik briefly reviewed the plan, highlighting storm
water management, traffic circulation, land use, and parks and open space.
Jon Engelking, 1220 Nightingale Blvd., initially stated he was generally pleased with the plan.
He noted there had been some talk about the possibility of moving a green space area a little
farther south. Ms. Buss said engineers will determine the exact location during feasibility studies.
Mary Jo Krenik, 1165 Nightingale, asked whether there had been any consideration given to a
meter control gate for Brewers Pond. Ms. Buss responded there will be a control structures at the
ponding areas, which should improve the water quality of Long Lake.
Ron Pinc, representing Mr. and Mrs. Sid White, owners of property at 6286 Stillwater Blvd,
asked that a two-acre parcel of property the Whites own along Stillwater Boulevard (Highway 5)
be increased in density, to 18-20 units per acre, from the townhouse density as indicated in the
plan. Later in the discussion, Mr. White asked that consideration be given to the request for
increased density. Tim Nolde, potential developer of the Whites' property, indicated a
willingness to work with neighbors.
Richard Huelsmann, 12610 62nd St. N., said he was satisfied with the proposed plan, but was
surprised to hear of the proposed density change and would be opposed to any increaseq. density.
He also stated he hopes that the cul-de-sac on 62nd Street will be constructed as soon as possible.
He also suggested that as part of the long-range plan, the two ponding areas south of 62nd Street
and north of Highway 36 be included in the plan. It was the consensus of members to add the
future ponding areas to the plan.
Jon Engelking expressed his opposition to any increase in density, as did Phil Martin, 1018
Nightingale Blvd; a resident at 650 Nightingale; and Susan and Dan Whalen, 1180 Nightingale
Blvd.
Art Junker, 1164 Parkwood Lane, asked about paths connections. Ms. Buss said the path/trail
plans will be developed in more detail during the feasibility study.
Laurie Maher, 3018 Marine Circle, questioned the impact on the level of Long Lake if changes
aren't made to the outlet at the north end of the lake. Ms. Buss and Mr. Russell responded that
the AUAR is being followed.

Re: Hearing/Monday, Oct. 12th
Dr. Margaret A. Mitchell
1055 St. Croix Ave. W.
Dear Council Members:
My name is Jan Perkins. I am the Oxxice Manager xor a company
called United Scientixic, Inc. located in Little Canada and a
patient ox Dr. Margaret Mitchell's. As you can see xrom my
return address, I neither live, nor work, in the Stillwater area.
I come to the Stillwater area on a weekly basis solely to see Dr.
Mitchell. There are many chiropractors in both the West St. Paul
and Little Canada areas, but, in my opinion, they do not provide
the same degree ox attention, care, respect and overall
compassion that Dr. Mitchell has always demonstrated to me. I .
xeel very xortunate that Dr. Mitchell opens her home to provide a
nurturing and saxe environment which I believe is very benexicial
and complements her healing abilities.
Based on my personal experience with Dr. Mitchell, I can only
believe that she would extend the same courteous behavior and
respect to her neighbors and would never allow a situation to
arise that would be disruptive to either her neighbors o~
neighborhood, or compromise her own, or her xamily's, saxety.
Unxortunately, I will be unable to attend the Council meeting on
Monday, October 12th, to voice my support xor Dr. Mitchell and
the wonderxul healing work that she perxorms. I hope that this
letter will help clarixy Dr. Mitchell's contribution to the
Stillwater community both as a Health Care Proxessional and
resident.
Ix you would like to speak with me, I can be reached by
telephone, between the hours ox 8:00 am - 4:30 pm at (651) 483-
1500. Thank you xor your time and consideration.

Margaret Mitchell, applicant, explained her request .and asked for approval for one year (September
to September).

precedent for commercial use in the neighborhood.
Margaret Jordahl, 1115 Amundson Drive, stated a business would bring strangers into the
neighborhood.
Ann Cummings, 1060 Amundson Drive, expressed the following concerns: Dr. Mitchell was a renter
and did not pay taxes; the neighborhood is zoned residential, not commercial; the road is
unimproved; and additional traffic creates a safety issue.
Paula Nelson, 1201 Amundson Drive, stated her 17-year old daughter signed the petition supporting
the chiropractic office in the home (circulated by Dr. Mitchell) and also signed her parents' names.
She stated she is opposed to the commercial use of the property, and requested their names be
removed from the petition. She felt the request would not be for "temporary use" but would
eventually become permanent.
Jeff Hands, 1135 Amundson Drive, expressed strong opposition based on concerns for the safety of
children,
.
Shelly Michaelis, 1341 Dallager Court, stated she is a local realtor. She reported several commercial
properties are available in the City and a commercial use in the neighborhood could directly affect

support of her request and the need to retain her services in the valley.

Croixwood Boulevard between County Road 5 to Northland Boulevard. Estimated cost of
improvements is $130,000. Notice of the hearing was placed in the Stillwater Gazette on July 3,

.
City Engineer Eckles reviewed the proposed project and funding options.
The Mayor opened the public hearing.
Gene Buck, 2511 Croixwood Blvd. requested definition of "collector street". City Engineer Eckles
stated Croixwood Blvd. was close to being a collector street in that it carries more traffic }ban normal
residential street. He explained Croixwood was designed for heavier traffic; the base layer was still
intact, but the overlay was in bad condition.
Raymond Poskozim, 2507 Croixwood Blvd., read the letter he sent to Council citing concerns with
the method of assessing, the history of Croixwood Boulevard, and road maintenance.
Terry Rodgers, 2504 Croixwood Blvd., stated he did not feel the adjoining residents should pay for
maintaining the street when it is used as a route by all Croixwood residents and for heavy
construction equipment traveling to other sites; the burden should be shared. He felt two assessments
in 10 years to .be unreasonable.
Ray Dombrowe, 2337 Croixwood Blvd., also felt the burden of cost should be shared. During the
reconstruction of side streets in Croixwood last year, all traffic was directed through Croixwood
Blvd., delaying repair to Croixwood Blvd. and further beating up the street.
. Debbie Kohl, 2713 Croixwood Blvd. requested alltmcks be kept off the road or have everybody pay
through a road fund.

I am usually home at different times of the day and have not

I believe that a petition was passed around approximately 1 year

Margaret Mitchell, Tenant
As property manager for Nena Amundson, owner of 1055 W. St. Croix Avenue, I have her
authorization to write this letter.
Nena Amundson respectively requests the City of Stillwater grant Margaret Mitchell a
'conditional use pernlit' to operate her business out of the rental home at 1055 W. St. Croix
Avenue in Stillwater. The entrance road to said property is a private dead-end street and in our
opinion the traffic generated is of little consequence to neighbors west of said property. Nena
Amundson has granted permission for said use and greatly appreciates your thoughtful
consideration.

Re: Margaret Mitchell - Chiropractic Office/Home
I have been Margaret Mitchell's neighbor for two years and am writing to offer
support for her interest in running her chiropractic business out of her home.
Due to the limited number of patients Margaret sees, as well as the fact that the dirt
road leading to her home is essentially private (she is responsible for snow removal,
etc., not the City), I do not foresee any problems with potential traffic, etc., as is
apparently the concern of certain residents in the area. Most of the residents who
raise these concerns are ultimately unaffected by any traffic to and from Margaret's
home as they reside on the west side of her property. They have to cut through
other yards or trespass onto Margaret's property to get to the road. The road ends
at the east side of Margaret's property and does not travel anywhere near or across
the property of those who raise this issue. This road does, however, run directly
past my residence, and I have never had any problems with traffic, etc., going to and
from Margaret's home, nor would I anticipate any problems with the limited number
of patients Margaret would be seeing for her chiropractic practice.
I am not certain why this has become such an issue with certain residents, especially
considering the fact that those who do the complaining are as I stated above
"ultimately unaffected." With regard to their children being endangered by such
traffic on this dirt road, again, they have to cut through yards or trespass onto
Margaret's property to reach the road, and it seems apparent they should be using
their own access from Oak Glen to reach Stillwater proper.
Please give Margaret's request every consideration.

Dr. Margaret A. Mitchell
1055 St. Croix Ave. W.
Dear Council Members:
My name is Jan Perkins. I am the Ozzice Manager zor a company
called United Scientizic, Inc. located in Little Canada and a
patient oz Dr. Margaret Mitchell's. As you can see zrom my
return address, I neither live, nor work, in the Stillwater area.
I come to the Stillwater area on a weekly basis solely to see Dr.
Mitchell. There are many chiropractors in both the West St. Paul
and Little Canada areas, but, in my opinion, they do not provide
the same degree oz attention, care, respect and overall
compassion that Dr. Mitchell has always demonstrated to me. I
zeel very zortunate that Dr. Mitchell opens her home to provide a 4It
nurturing and saze environment ~hich I believe is very benezicial
and complements her healing abilities.
Based on my personal experience with Dr. Mitchell, I can only
believe that she would extend the same courteous behavior and
respect to her neighbors and would never allow a situation to
arise that would be disruptive to either her neighbors or
neighborhood, or compromise her own, or her zamily's, sazety.
Un~ortunately, I will be unable to attend the Council meeting on
Monday, October 12th, to voice my support zor Dr. Mitchell and
the wonderzul healing work that she perzorms. I hope that this
letter will help clarizy Dr. Mitchell's contribution to the
Stillwater community both as a Health Care Prozessional and
resident.
Iz you would like to speak with me, I can be reached by
telephone, between the hours oz 8:00 am - 4:30 pm at (651) 483-
1500. Thank you zor your time and consideration.

· MEMO
To: Mayor and City Council
From: KLayton EckLes, City Engineer i-,.t. V"
Subject: Feasibility Study for 62nd Street and Surface Water Management Study for the
Market PLace Area
Date: November 6, 1998
DISCUSSION:
.
The 62nd Street Area PLan Study discusses a need to compLete a feasibility study of the
pLanning area as weLL as a surface water management study of the Market PLace storm sewer
system. These studies are needed as soon as possibLe because deveLopment is sLated for this
area in the very near future. In addition, we anticipate that in 1999 a water main extension
wiLL be made from County Road 5 aLL the way the Legends of Stillwater DeveLopment.
Attached is a copy of a proposaL from BRA for the compLetion of a feasibility study and a water
management study. The proposed feasibility study (Section 1.A-1) wouLd examine the methods
and costs of installing sanitary sewer, water main, storm sewer and a new MSA street aLong the
west side of County Road 5 from Curve Crest to 62nd Street. ALso, the methods of deaLing with
the storm water flows from County Road 5 to Long Lake wouLd be anaLyzed. As part of the
feasibility study, a preLiminary street design (Section 1.A-2) wouLd be presented to the State
Aid Variance Committee to review and approve a 25 mile an hour speed variance. The State
Aid Committee meets in December so it is important to proceed with this immediateLy. The
cost to compLete the preLiminary MSA design and the feasibility report is estimated to be
$29,600.
/
The attached proposaL from BRA aLso presents a pLan to compLete a surface water management
study of the Market PLace area (Section 3.11). This study wouLd identify opportunities for rate
controL and water quaLity improvements around the area. This information is very important
for two reasons. First, it has a direct impact on the design of the 62nd Street area storm
sewer system. Second, it wouLd give a comprehensive Look at the IndustriaL Park storm water
system that has been pieced together over the course of 20 years. The second item is of great
vaLue to the City. Over the pass years there have been a number of different design criteria in
pLace, there have been changes in drainage areas and districts in StiLLwater and Oak Park
Heights and there have been some corrective actions taken at specific Locations. These factors
have aLL contributed to a system that we reaLLy do not fuLLy understand. The cost to compLete
this surface water study is estimated at $16,755. As an aLternative, the topographicaL
mapping couLd be deLeted, and the project cost wouLd be Lowered to $11,250.00. The
topographic mapping wouLd be of great use to the City (recaLL staff proposed $60,000 be
included in the 1999 Budget for topographicaL mapping).
.
~.
~ ,iJI
There is a number of financing sources available for this project. When the Curve Crest .
Boulevard Extension MSA street project is constructed, the $12,800 cost of completing the
preliminary street plan should be reimbursed by MSA. The cost to complete the sewer and
water portion of the feasibility report (approximately $3,000) will be charged to the trunk
utility fund which will be recouped as part of the 62nd Street trunk area charges. The
remaining cost for completing the feasibility report of about $12,000 and the surface water
management study of about $16,755 are all TIF eligible expenses. The TIF district 4 and
district 1 both contribute water to the erosion problem which is occurring west of County Road
5. Therefore, it is the opinion of the City Attorney that the costs of completing the study to
correct this problem as well as some of the costs of making these corrections could be charged
to these TIF districts if and when the funds become available.
RECOMMENDATION:
Since the 62nd Street area appears to be slated for development in the near future and since
there are a number of storm water issues and utility issues surrounding this area, staff
recommends that Council authorize BRA to complete the 62nd Street Area Feasibility Study, at
a cost not to exceed $29,600, as well as the surface water management study of the Market
Place area for a cost not to exceed $16,755. (Total Cost $46,355).
ACTION REOUlRED:
If the City Council concurs with staff recommendation, Council should pass a motion adopting .
Resolution No. 98-_, RESOLUTION APPROVING AGREEMENT WITH BONESTROO, ROSENE,
ANDERLlK & ASSOCIATES, ORDERING PREPARATION OF FEASIBILITY REPORT ON THE 62ND
STREET NORTH AREA AND A SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT STUDY OF THE MARKET PLACE
AREA

RESOLUTION APPROVING AGREEMENT WITH BONESTROO, ROSENE, ANDERLIK & ASSOCIATES,
ORDERING PREPARATION OF FEASIBILITY REPORT ON THE 62ND STREET NORTH AREA AND A
SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT STUDY OF THE MARKET PLACE AREA

Report on the 62"d Street Area, at a cost not to exceed $29,600.00 and a Surface Water

Results for City Hall Area Parking Study
November 4, 1998
Background:
In July 1998, the City Council approved consultant services for a parking study for the area
around City Hall. Owners ofthe property and businesses in the area had requested the study to
examine the "parking problems" and to come up with possible ways to address the problem.
SEH was contracted to prepare the study. They are familiar with the Downtown Stillwater
parking situation and have prepared other parking studies for the City. Meetings were held with
area property owners and organizations on September 2nd and October 1 (see attached sign up
sheet). At those meetings, the results from a downtown parking survey were presented and
parking use and needs were described by those in attendance. At the October 1 st meeting, the
results of the analysis was presented with suggestions for improvements.
.
The attached report presents the study data, analysis and recommendations for improvement. At
meeting time, the consultant will present the study results and recommendation.
Recommendation: Accept study and consultants recommendations for City Hall area parking
improvements and implement as resources are available.

City Hall Parking Study
SEH No.A-STILL9901.00

Stillwater, MN 55082-4898
Dear Steve:
We have reviewed parking in the area near City Hall bounded by Linden and Myrtle Streets on the north
and south, and Third and Fourth Streets on the east and west (Appendix A). The library and Trinity
Lutheran Church (TLC) have expressed concerns of inadequate parking in the area for themselves and
the surrounding businesses. Also of concern is the use of the two TLC lots by non- TLC vehicles.
DATA
. Two types of data were collected to evaluate the current parking needs in the area:
License Plate Data
To determine the current parking use, a license plate study was conducted from 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m,
on a weekday. License plate data was collected every hour for each parking space in the area
(Appendix B). Analysis of the data provided information about the use of available parking and the rate
of turnover at each location. For instance, the Post Office customer lot had a high turnover rate of 5.11
which agrees with the typical postal visit in which people stop in for a brief time to purchaSe postage,
or pick up and drop off mail. Conversely, the City Hall lot, which consists primarily of employee
parking, had a much lower turnover rate of 1.5 concurring with typical employee parking activity where
most vehicles remain in the same parking space throughout the day with the exception of some
movement during the lunch hour or for business trips.
Expected Demand
To supplement the license plate data, information detailing employees, customers and activities was
obtained from each of the area businesses. This information was used to establish the expected parking
demand in the area. The information was organized into a tabular form to easily identify the number of
people that each business attracted at a given time on a given day (Appendix C). Using additional
information from the businesses, such as whether an activity was for children or where customers
preferred to park, we associated people with vehicles and distributed the vehicles to the parking locations
they were most likely to use.

ANAL YSIS
City
License plate data were compared to the expected demand to determine where each business was
parking, and if they required additional parking. For example, the expected demand indicated that City
employees require an average of 33 parking spaces in the area during business hours, including City
Hall, Police and Fire Departments. The license plate data demonstrated that between the City Hall lot
and the Police and Fire lot, an average of 35 spaces were occupied during business hours with each lot
having a surplus of at least 10 spaces. These results indicate that the City can accommodate its weekday
parking needs, The only instance when the City requires additional parking is during well-attended
councilor planning commission meetings that take place two to four times per month on Monday and
Tuesday evenings.
Library
Similarly, the library's parking needs are accommodated by its own lot and on-street parking. Even its
storytelling event, which draws up to 200 people on Thursday evenings, can be accommodated with
little, if any, use ofTLC's Fourth Street lot. The license plate study, conducted on a Thursday, revealed
the Library lot, the east side of Fourth Street, and West Mulberry Street were being used at peak parking
demand, while the TLC Fourth Street lot was at its lowest parking use with only 7 out of 136 spaces
occupied,
.
TLC and Ascension
During weekdays, with the exception of a few residents or outside employees, the TLC Fourth Street lot
and the TLC Third Street lot are used primarily by Trinity related entities and the Post Office. The other
businesses along Fourth Street and Third Street can readily accommodate their parking needs with their
own lots and on-street parking. The principal parking conflicts occur during church events at both of
the area churches, Ascension and Trinity Lutheran.
During weeknights, the largest parking demand occurs Wednesday evenings during vayious choir
practices and religious education activities at the churches. Approximately 920 people enter the City
Hall area on Wednesday evenings with over 500 of them from TLC. Although many of these people are
dropped off, carpool or are children, the parking need remains quite substantial. Fortunately, other
businesses have scheduled their large events on other evenings to avoid adding to the large demand of
the two churches.
On weekends, the main parking conflict occurs during Sunday church services. Ascension has no on-site
parking so it relies primarily upon on-street parking for the 180 people attending one of the two Sunday
morning services. TLC requires substantial parking on Sundays with 1,700 attending one of the three
services.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Though the current parking situation is not critical, there is opportunity for improvement. The
recommended improvements consist primarily of basic construction and parking management activities.
.
Mr. Steve Russell

.
City Hall Lot
Though the City was found to have sufficient parking to accommodate its needs in most cases,
improvements will allow for greater utilization of the property alleviating some unnecessary Fourth
Street parking conflicts. The present configuration of the lot may be altered to accommodate more
vehicles. Near the building it may be possible to provide more spaces through rearrangement. Away
from the building, trimming back the brush along the edge of the lot could add up to a double row of
. spaces in the center. In addition, a clear space between the pavement and trees along with a curb and
gutter would better define the lot, and provide more space for snow removal allowing for consistent and
maximum utilization of all spaces. Striping should done to maximize capacity. Spaces could be
designated for library employees or all police and fire employees through signage of employee and
visitor parking, The north parking lot of the old Junior High School is an example of how the lower City
Hall lot could be improved,
More lighting and the potential addition of a surveillance system to be monitored in the police or fire
station will address safety concerns. The clear space mentioned above will also improve the feeling of
safety as would a chain-link fence along the perimeter of the brush.
.
Since lot improvements will increase use from non-City Hall businesses, a sidewalk should be added
along the north side of the Fourth Street access. The steep grade of the driveway may warrant steps.
To encourage use by City Hall visitors and others during evenings and weekends, the lot access should
be made more visible through better landscaping and signage. Circulation in the lot can be improved
to allow for easy access and egress - this may include repairing the driveway from the City Hall lot to
the Police and Fire lot. Additional indoor signing should be installed to guide the visitors using the lot
through the City Hall building.
Police and Fire Lot
The City Hall lot may accommodate some additional employees providing more space for volunteer
parking in the Police and Fire lot. Changes to the Police and Fire lot that provide the most parking in
conjunction with the best circulation for emergency access and egress should be exploreq" including
signing and striping.
Fourth Street
Parking restrictions that limit the time a vehicle may be parked in a space will convert prime parking
spaces to short duration, high turnover spaces. This will encourage area employees to parkin designated
spaces thus providing more prime spaces for customers.
.
TLC Fourth and Third Street Lots
To ensure that TLC has sufficient and convenient parking for their activities, they could designate
employee spaces in their lots and restrict the use of the remaining spaces during prime times. Using
signing, they could allocate a reasonable number of spaces to the employees of each church-owned entity
around the perimeter of the Fourth Street lot. This leaves the center of the lot, the area in front of the
Warm World building and the spaces along Fourth Street open for customers and visitors. Similarly,
they could sign the rear of the Third Street lot for TLC employees and leave the front open for visitors.
Such a plan allows TLC to easily police and manage their lots. In addition, the plan provides TLC
visitors with prime spaces during peak times and allows TLC to partner with others during off-peak
times to provide their neighbors with parking.
.

It may be necessary to use permits for employees to initially enforce the arrangement. Before
implementation, all other possible users of the lot should be notified to encourage cooperation from the
beginning and to avoid conflicts. Some users may be interested in partnering with TLC to provide
parking for their employees, visitors or residents, If possible, TLC could negotiate with the Post Office
to provide them with some designated spaces for their employees during postal hours in either the Third
or Fourth Street lots in exchange for use of their parking on Sundays and Wednesday evenings.
Ascension
Ascension Church could provide some parking for weekday staff at one of the church properties or by
utilizing on-street locations that are not in restrictive areas such as West Mulberry Street. A partnering
process with a nearby business may also prove successful in obtaining employee parking. They could
encourage visitors, who are able to park farther away, to use either the City Hall or Library lots during
Sunday services.
Overall
Other highly effective parking management solutions are already in place, namely, the continued efforts
of each business to cooperatively address and avoid parking conflicts. If each of the facilities and
businesses continues to work together to balance their event schedules, avoiding overlap whenever
possible, parking needs should be met in the area. Additionally, each business could make their parking
lots available to other businesses during times of low or non-use. The City should also monitor area and
downtown growth to mitigate future parking conflicts in the City Hall area.

Mr, Steve Russell
Community Development Director
City of Stillwater
216 North 4th Street
Stillwater, Minnesota 55082-4898
Dear Steve:
As we have recently discussed, parking in the vicinity of the City offices has changed. The data that was collected
in the parking study several years ago represents a good base but is no longer valid for current uses. City Hall has
expanded and the use of the building to the south has changed, There appears to be more demand for parking at the
City offices.
Based on our discussions and observations, we have put together a short work program to update the data and provide
recommendations for improvements to the parking situation.
We would contact the primary users of parking in the area. These include City Hall, the churches and the post office.
Others, such as the library, may also contribute and will be contacted, We will attempt to obtain their anticipated use
of parking in the area and especially obtain information relative to peak demands for parking spaces.
We would then collect the data on the actual use made of parking in the vicinity, We would do a one-day data
collection starting at 8:00 a,m. and ending with a inventory circuit at 5:00 p,m, Using a base map, we will obtain
information relative to vehicles parked in each space on the streets and in the parking lots in the study area. The study
area will include Myrtle Street from Third Street to Fifth Street, and Third and Fourth Streets from M:yrtle Street to
Linden Street. All City Hall parking lots, the joint parking lots to the south, and the post office lots and the church
lot on Third Street would be included.
We anticipate the use of a student intern to collect the data. We will also make observations of parking use in the
parking lots and on the streets on a Friday or Saturday night when the weather is conducive to heavier parking
demands in the area. We will also obtain the peak parking time demand from the two churches in the vicinity and do
a single Sunday a,m. count of parked vehicles. We may use the intern or I may drive or bike Q,ver to collect the
weekend data.
After this data is collected, we will analyze and calculate the usage and the parking characteristic of each of the
individual parking lots and of parking on each of the blocks, Information on available spaces by time and the usage
made of spaces will be calculated, We will compare the actual usage made of the parking spaces to that anticipated
and to that desired based on the adjacent land uses.

With this information, we can evaluate the problems which may exist. Potential problems include all day parking in
prime parking spaces and short duration shortages of spaces, either through calculations or through estimates of peak
periods, We can also offer ideas on changes that can be made to improve the use. Conversion of prime spaces to short
duration, high turnover parking may be beneficial to overall usage. This is generally a cheap alternative to adding
to the supply of parking,
Information will also allow us to evaluate the potential for downtown employee parking in some of the larger lots
in the area, This was an alternative that was discussed during the early parking studies and dJ,u:ing the reconstruction
of the downtown-streets.
We will meet with the City staff after the data is collected and analyzed and discuss the information and the
opportunities for improvements, We will also attend a meeting of either the Planning Commission or Parking
Commission to review the data after our staff meeting. Finally, we will prepare a report and provide copies-or
summaries of all the information that has been collected.
We are available to start on this data collection immediately. We anticipate that once a date is set and the data
collected, we can provide the information back to the City staff within three weeks. We feel it is desirable to complete
the study during the months of July and August which are when the prime parking demands in the downtown area
occur.
.
We estimate the cost of the data collection, analysis and report at $5,500. This includes data collection, analysis,
preparation of the report and attendance at meetings, It also includes all reimbursable expenses and will not be
exceeded without prior approval from the City. There would be no time charged for my observations on Friday or
Saturday night or if I make the Sunday counts, since I am in Stillwater frequently anyway.
If the work program, schedule and fee are acceptable, would you please sign both copies of this letter proposal and
return one to us for our files and as authorization to proceed with this study. If you have any question~ or need any
additional information, please feel free to call me.

SUBJECT: Final PUD Approval for 35 Cottage lots as part of Phase I Legends Development
PUD/98-69
BACKGROUND:
In January 1997 the preliminary plat and PUD concept plans were approved for the Legends
development. In June 1998 the final plat for the first phase (65 lots) of the Legends project was
approved. The first phase includes 15 lake shore lots, 15 traditional lots and 35 cottage lots, Because
the traditional and lakeshore lots will be developed by custom home builders design review for
conformance with Zoning regulations and design guidelines will be performed by planning staff
when building permits are issued. For the 35 cottage lots in the first phase of development, this final
PUD review will serve as the final design review of the project.
Ryland Homes has purchased 35 cottage lots from the developer and has submitted the
enclosed plan for design review. Design review requirements and guidelines are found in the
Cottage Residential Zoning District and City of Stillwater Phase I: Expansion Area Design
Guidelines. Staff has met with the building and developer on three occasions to go ovetthe City
development requirements and to review their concept elevations. The Cottage Residential (CR)
Zoning Ordinance and selected sections of the Expansion Area Design Guidelines are enclosed for
reference. Staff and the City's design consultant toured a Ryland development in Maple Grove.
Comments on that project are also enclosed and are used to analyze the aspect of this project that are
not shown in the submitted house front elevation drawings.
The intent of the Expansion Area Design Guidelines and Zoning Regulations are to, along
with the streetscape improvement, provide a friendlier pedestrian oriented neighborhood with
minimal automobile appearance.
The Zoning Ordinanc,e has specific requirements for setback of garage as it relates to
residential as listed below:
1
.(
November 6, 1998
· 25% of garages setback more than 6 feet from front of house .
· 25% of garage setback a minimum of2 feet from front of house
· 50% of garages may project as much as 6 feet in front of house half of that 50% must have
living space above garage and half must have functional porches (6 feet wide or greater).
From what was presented it is impossible to know how these setback requirements will be met.
To review garage setback for conformity the builder will have to present a plan that shows how the
design of houses and location of garages will be situated or each house will require staff design
review to ensure setbacks meet the requirements. The Ryland submittal shows eight front elevations
of homes, No side or rear elevations are shown (refer to Tompton letter of August 4, 1998 for side
and back house design concerns). You can not tell from the elevations how the house and garage
will sit on the lot. All the front loaded garages have living apace above the garages and all have
porches. The depth of the porch can not be determined from the drawings to make sure it is
functional. Other zoning requirements related to the front of the home requires the driveway to be
12 feet at street right-of-way and the design guidelines call for the front sidewalk to be connected to
the front door of the home by a sidewalk. These items are listed as conditions of approval.
A master development landscape plan and typical landscape plan are submitted. The master
landscape plan was approved as part of the final plat approval. Additional street trees and rear
property line trees have been added to relieve the view of the backs ofthe houses from the ends of
the blocks. Typical site landscaping has also been proposed. The actual lot landscaping will use the
City native, and recommended plant list and be installed before project occupancy.
Other design issues covered in the Tomten letter are roof color, front wainscoting, and shutter .
size, Staff recommends a variety of shingle colors be used rather than one color. Ifwainscoting is
required to be carried around the residence sides, it will probably not occur. The development had
indicated that shutters are decorative not functional and the size can not be increased to a functional
SIze.
The remaining 63 cottage lots will follow this first phase of Cottage Developmel}t. With
experience, the builder may want to add building designs to the selection. Staff recommends that
this can be accomplished administratively with staff review so long as Zoning requirements and
design guidelines are met.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval as conditioned with concept PUD approval Cottage Residential Zoning
Requirements and Expansion Area Design Guidelines with the below listed Conditions of Approval.
1. The garage setback shall be reviewed by planning staff to ensure the percentage of garage
setbacks are met.
2. All driveways shall be 12 feet at the street right-of-way.
3. All houses shall have a sidewalk running from the front entrance to the street.

RE:
Feasibility Study for 1999 Street Improvement Project
Project No. 9902
DISCUSSION
Engineering staff would like to proceed with the 1999 Street Improvement Project. Using
the Pavement Management Study by SEH conducted in 1990 as a reference and by visual
inspection, staffhas selected a street reconstruction for Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Streets
between Willard and Hancock. These street sections were poorly rated in the Study back
in 1990 and now are among the worst streets in Stillwater. The City has approximately
$750,000 budgeted for the 1999 street improvement project.
.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends council pass a resolution authorizing the preparation of a Feasibility
Study for street, sidewalk, sewer and storm improvements on Fifth, Sixth and Seventh
Streets between and Willard and Hancock. Also, council should authorize staff to obtain
professional services for the completion ofthe survey work and to perform soil borings
with analysis within the proposed project area. /
ACTION REOUIRED:
If Council concurs with the recommendation, they should pass a motion adopting

RE:
Wilkins Street Storm Improvement
Project No. 9808
DISCUSSION:
Earlier this year, Marcie Kilbourne, the property owner at 216 W. Wilkins requested the
City to study the drainage problem in the backyard. She has complained that the storm
inlet in her backyard is inadequate in handling flows and that on a few occasions storm
water has flooded her basement during certain storm events.
A site visit to the area and examining the backyards, a few of observations were made.
The two homes nearest the inlet have walkout basement elevations not much higher than
the storm inlet invert elevations. Also, the two houses have driveway aprons, located near
the low point in the street, that are lower than the centerline of the street and slightly
higher than elevation of the low point catch basins in the street. This causes storm water
to drain into their driveways whenever the inlets reach capacity and overflow. Also, it
was noticed that the inlet at the northeast corner of Marcie Kilbourne's house is crushed
and is clogged with dirt and debris.
Options that were considered to improve the drainage in and around this area included:
1. Reconstruct the driveway aprons to the two homes. J
2. Eliminate the walkout basement entrances.
3. Raise the elevation of the two houses.
4. Reconstruct W. Wilkins Street the entire length including additional storm
sewer.
5. Install new storm sewer with catch basins to increase storm capacity
6. Partial reconstruction of the low point at the intersection ofN. Fifth and Wilkins
Street.
Option 1
Reconstruction of the driveway aprons would consist of raising the elevation of the
aprons by nearly a foot. While this would prevent water from running down their
driveway, it would create less than desirable driveway slopes in a short span. It would
also mean that in major rain events water could pond at the low point and create a
hazardous driving situation.
Option 2 and 3
The two options of eliminating walkout basements or raising the houses would have to be
agreed to by the homeowners and could be very costly to them. However, option 2 was
suggested to Ms. Kilbourne and was included in her house improvements this past
summer.
Option 4
A major reconstruction of Wilkins Street would easily correct the problem, Wilkins
Street is a State Aid Street, so it would have to be constructed MSA standards. A
reconstruction would consist of new curb and gutter, the storm sewer system would be
updated and driveways would be rebuilt. Since this street is in fairly good shape a
reconstruction of this magnitude was not planned for at least 10 ye~s.
Option 5 and 6
Because of the difficulty or the cost involved in the first four options, the focus of this
feasibility report will deal with last two options of a new storm sewer with catch basins in
Ms. Kilbourne's backyard and a partial reconstruction of intersection at Fifth Street and
W. Wilkins Street.
The storm sewer system in Ms, Kilbourne's backyard consists of a storm inlet located
northeast corner ofthe house (This inlet was probably installed in the 1980's when the
property was developed at the corner ofN. Fourth Street and W. Wilkins Street). There is
also another inlet on the west side of the house that connects below the storm sewer inlet
on the east side the house. The inlet and pipe were installed by the City to help drain the
backyards of Wilkins and Stillwater Avenue. Ultimately, the water drains to a manhole
located at 1100 N. Fourth Street and under N. Fourth Street and into the Aspen Street
ravine. Examining the inlet shows the invert elevation to be about three feet lower than
the existing ground and the pipe appears to be crushed with a limited opening for w~ter to
flow through. This would detain water in the backyard and drain slowly through the pipe
over a period of hours. In order to correct this problem, we are proposing to install a new
12" or IS" pipe with a catch basin at the north east corner ofthe house at 216 W. Wilkins
Street to the manhole located in the backyard of 1100 N. Fourth Street. Since, open
trenching of the line may disturb the backyards and encroach nearby house foundations,
we may use underground jacking to install the pipe. Also, a swale would be graded in the
backyards to get drainage away from the homes and into the catch basins. Cost for the
backyard drainage correction amounts to $47,640.00, which includes engineering,
administration, legal and easements costs.
There are two catch basins located on the north side ofthe intersection of North Fifth
Street and W. Wilkins Street, that collect storm water from Martha Street to the west and
N. Fourth Street to the east. The preliminary survey shows there are three driveway
entrances that are lower than the centerline elevation of the street. In large storm events,
the catch basins can't handle the capacity of the runoff, so it overflows onto the
driveways, into the backyards and into the old storm sewer system. By lowering W.
'}
.
.
.
.
.
.
Wilkins Street approximately one foot at the intersection, any overflow would drain
toward Fifth Street and not into the driveways. Wilkins Street would have to be
reconstructed approximately 100 feet on each side of the intersection and 100 feet of
Fifth Street would need to be reconstructed to have adequate slope for the intersection.
Costs for reconstruction of this intersection amount to $67,085.00 which includes
engineering, administration and legal costs.
A summary of the cost of the two proposed options is shown below:
Install new storm sewer with catch basins to increase storm capacity $47,640.00
Partial reconstruction of the intersection ofN. Fifth and W. Wilkins $67,085.00
Total cost of project
$114,725.00
PROJECT FINANCING
Since this project is primarily a storm improvement project, there are two funding sources
where this project would be financed, the storm water utility and area assessments. The
City could utilize storm water utility tax revenues from properties in the contributing
area. The contributing area is the area ofthe watershed that drains overland and by storm
pipe to the low point at N. Fifth Street and W. Wilkins (see attached map). There are 159
properties in the contributing area and if the project were financed over a ten-year period,
storm sewer utility revenues would contribute $28,620.00. The remaining portion the
project or $86,105.00 would be financed by assessing the contributing area ofthe project.
This contributing area of the project is approximately 47.3 acres of gross area with net
area of assessments at 36.5 acres. This will provide an assessment rate of $0.054 per
square foot. The average sized lot size in the drainage area is approximately 9450 square
feet for an average assessment rate of $510.30 per lot. This rate is slightly higher than
the rate of$0.045 square foot rate assessed on the Fourth Street Ravine Project.
If this rate is too high, Council may choose to lower the assessment to that ofthe Foprth
Street Ravine Project and increase the amount from the storm water utility fund. This
would lower the amount from assessments to $71,630.46 and increase the amount from
the storm sewer utility fund to $43,094.54.
Another assessment option, Council may choose, would be to create a higher rate for the
homes near the actual proj ect who receive a greater benefit from the decreased amount of
storm water in their backyards.
A summary of the project financing is shown below in the table below:
Option A
Storm sewer utility tax
Resident Assessments ($0.054/SF)
$28,620.00
$86,105.00
Total Amount
$114,725.00
'.
Option B
Storm sewer utility tax
Resident Assessments ($0.045/SF)
$43,094.54
$71,630.46
.
Total Amount
$114,725.00
RECOMMENDATION:
Since the project is technically feasible, Council will need to decide on which option to
choose to fund the project. If Council selects an option they should accept the feasibility
report the Wilkins Street Storm Improvements and order the public hearing for the
second meeting on January 19, 1999.
ACTION REOUIRED:
If Council concurs with the recommendation, they should pass a motion adopting
Resolution No. 98-_ RESOLUTION RECEIVING REPORT AND CALLING
FOR HEARING ON WILKINS STREET STORM SEWER IMPROVEMENT
(Project 9808).

RESOLUTION RECEIVING REPORT AND CALLING FOR HEARING ON
WILKINS STREET STORM SEWER IMPROVEMENT (Project 9808)
WHEREAS, pursuant to resolution of the council adopted February 3, 1998, a report

Memorandum
November 6, 1998
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM:
Klayton H. Eckles \l t: ../
City Engineer
SUBJECT: Lily Lake Water Quality Project Update
Project 9613
DISCUSSION:
Approximately a year ago, the City Council authorized the preparation of plans and
specifications for the Lily Lake Stormwater Quality Improvement projects. SHE has since
completed the plans and specifications for the four phases of this project. In addition, a detailed
engineer's estimate ofthe costs to complete all phases has been completed. Finally, the plans and
specifications have been presented to Municipal State Aid office for review and approval.
Several issues have arisen regarding these projects. On a positive note, it appears that a good
portion of various aspects of the Lily Lake Water Quality Improvement Project will be eligible for
MSA expense. Since much of the water draining into Lily Lake comes from Greeley Street and Pine
Street, both MSA streets, the State Aid Office has indicated up to 55% of the project costs would be
eligible. There has also been a couple of discouraging facts arises out of the detailed cost estimate.
It appears that the expense of rerouting water from Lake Street south along Greeley to Brick Pond
will be much more expensive than originally estimated, This is due to the presence of a number of
utilities and the difficulty of working along a MSA street. In addition, the cost of redirecting water
from Lake Drive to Brick Street will be very expensive for the limited benefit in water quality that
we would receive. Therefore, we are currently looking at tabling these two improvements to a future
date when the streets in the area are reconstructed.
Currently the plans are being reformatted to reflect these changes. In addition, options are
being explored for capturing grant money. Finally, survey work is being completed to determine the
extent of easements needed to complete this project. It is anticipated that within the next four weeks,
these issues will be addressed and the State Aid Office will make a determination on the level of
participation. Based on these changes and results, the Council could then determine how much of
the project should proceed, and whether or not assessments and an assessment hearing would be
warranted.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff has no recommendation at this time. This information is strictly for Council review.

the amount of civil fines. length of license suspensions and the propriety of revocations, and shall
apply to all premises licensed and individuals charged under this Chapter. These penalties are

where the Council finds that there exists substantial reasons making it more appropriate to deviate,
such as. but not limited to, a licensee's efforts in combination with the State or City to prevent the
sale of alcohol to minors. When deviating from these standards, the Council will provide written
findings that support the penalty selected.
B, Presumptive Penalties for Violations. The minimum penalties for convictions or violations must be

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor, City Council and Staff
FROM: David T. Magnuson, Stillwater City Attorney ~ V
DATE: November 5, 1998
SUBJECT: Administrative Penalties
In order to comply with State requirements for licensing of intoxicating liquors and tobacco, the
City Code contains provisions dealing with the compliance and assessment of civil penalties for\
certain violations.
The Ordinance, however, leaves the matter of Administrative Hearings to the City Council and
does not require the Council to appoint hearing officers to handle these civil administrative
proceedings.
The enclosed Ordinance draft is based upon an Ordinance of the City of Minnetonka that uses
Administrative Hearings on many City Code violations including some traffic and all permit and
licensing violations. The enclosed draft, however, limits the applicability of administrative
citations and Administrative Hearings to liquor and tobacco violations. If the procedure works
well and is an efficient use of time, the Council could always consider making other violations of
the City Code an administrative offense and subject to this hearing procedure,
Without this procedure in place, the City Council itself would be faced with conducting
Administrative Hearings on the four (4) liquor license violations thatthe Chiefs memo
describes. With this Administrative Hearing procedure in place, however, the Council's
involvement in the process would be to hear an appeal of an Administrative Hearing Officer's
decision. I would be happy to gather more information about this prior to the next meeting along
with some idea of the costs associated with the program.

ORDINANCE NO.
AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING ADMINISTRATIVE
CITATIONS AND CIVIL PENALTIES
The City Council of the City of Stillwater does ordain:
I. Amending. The City Code of the City of Stillwater is amended by adding Sections
22-9 Administrative Citations and Civil Penalties that shall hereafter read as follows:
"Sec. 22-9. Administrative Citations and Civil Penalties.
Subd. 1. Purpose, The City Council finds that there is a need for alternative
methods of enforcing the City Code. While criminal fines and penalties have
been the most frequent enforcement mechanism, there are certain negative
consequences for both the City and the accused. The delay inherent in that system
does not ensure prompt resolution. Citizens resent being labeled as criminals for
violations of administrative regulations. The higher burden of proof and the \
potential of incarceration do not appear appropriate for most administrative
violations. The criminal process does not always regard City Code violations as
being important. Accordingly, the City Council finds that the use of
administrative citations and the imposition of civil penalties is a legitimate and
necessary alternative method of enforcement. This method of enforcement shall
be in addition to any other legal remedy which may be pursued for City Code
violations,
Subd. 2. General Provisions.
(1)
A violation of Chapter 43 ofthe City Code (Liquor) or Chapter 41,
Sec. 41-2. Tobacco. or the acts prohibited in those sections are an
administrative offense, which may be subject to an administrative
citation and civil penalties pursuant to this chapter. Each day a
violation exists constitutes a separate offense.
(2)
An administrative offense may be subject to civil penalty not
exceeding two thousand and noli 00 dollars ($2,000.00).
I
, ~
(3)
The City Council must adopt by Resolution a schedule of fines for
offenses initiated by administration citation. The City Council is
not bound by that schedule when a matter is appealed to it for
administrative review. The City Council may adopt a schedule of
fees to be paid to administrative hearing officers,
.'
(4) The City Coordinator must adopt procedures for administering the
administrative citation program,
Subd. 3. Administrative Citation.
(1) The Chief of Police of his designee may issue an administrative
citation upon belief that a violation has occurred. The citation
must be issued in person or by mail to the person responsible for
the violation or attached to the motor vehicle in the case of a
vehicular offense. The citation must state the date, time and nature
of the offense, the name of the issuing officer, the amount of the
scheduled fine, and the manner for paying the fine or appealing the
citation.
(2)
The person responsible for the violation must either pay the
scheduled fine or request a hearing within seven (7) days after
issuance. Payment of the fine constitutes admission of the
violation, A late payment fee often percent (10%) ofthe
scheduled fine amount shall be imposed in accordance with Subd.
7.
.
Subd. 4, Administrative Hearing.
(1) The City Council shall periodically approve a list of hearing
officers from which the City Coordinator will randomly select a
hearing officer to hear and determine a matter for which a hearing
is requested, The accused shall have the right to request no later
than five (5) days before the date of the hearing that the assigned
hearing officer be removed from the case, One request for removal
for each case will be granted automatically by the City
Coordinator. A subsequent request must be directed to the
assigned hearing officer who will decide whether he or she cannot
fairly and objectively review the case. The City may remove a
hearing officer only by requesting that the assigned hearing officer
find that he or she cannot fairly and objectively review the case, If
a finding is made, the officer must remove himself or herself from
the case, and the City Coordinator must assign another hearing

.
officer. The hearing officer is not a judicial officer but is a public
officer as defined by Minnesota Statute 9609.415. The hearing
officer must not be a City employee. The City Coordinator must
establish a procedure for evaluating the competency of the hearing
officers, including comments from accused violators and City
Staff. These reports must be provided to the City Council.
Upon the hearing officer's own initiative or upon written request of
an interested party demonstrating the need, the officer may issue a
subpoena for the attendance of a witness or the production of
books, papers, records or other documents that are material to the
matter being heard. The party requesting the subpoena shall be
responsible for serving the subpoena in the manner provided for
civil actions and for paying the fees and expenses of any witness,
A person served with a subpoena may file and objection with the
hearing officer promptly but no later than the time specified in the
subpoena for compliance. The officer may cancel or modifY the
subpoena if it si unreasonable or oppressive. Any person who,
without just cause, fails or refuses to attend and testifY or to
produce the required documents in obedience to a subpoena shall
be guilty of a misdemeanor. Alternatively, the party requesting the
subpoena may seek an order from District Court directing
compliance.
Notice of the hearing must be served in person or by mail on the
person responsible for the violation at least ten (10) days in
advance, unless a shorter time is accepted by all parties. At the
hearing, the parties will have the opportunity to present testimony
and question any witnesses, but strict rules of evidence shall not
apply, The hearing officer must tape record the hearing and
receive testimony and exhibits. The officer must receive and give
weight to evidence, including hearsay evidence, which possesses
probative value commonly accepted by reasonable and prudent
people in the conduct of their affairs.
The hearing officer has the authority to determine that a violation
occurred, to dismiss a citation, to impose the scheduled fine, and to
reduce, stay or waive a scheduled fine either unconditionally or
upon compliance with appropriate conditions. When imposing a
penalty for a violation, the hearing officer may consider any or all
of the following factors:
3
a.
b.
The duration of the violation;
The frequency or reoccurrence of the violation;
The seriousness of the violation;
The history of the violation;
The violator's conduct after issuance of the notice
of hearing;
The good faith effort by the violator to comply;
The economic impact of the penalty on the violator;
The impact of the violation upon the community;
and
Any other factors appropriate to a just result.
c.
d.
e.
f.
g.
h.
1.
(5) The decision of the hearing officer is final, however, the hearing
officer's decision may be appealed to the City Council by
submitting a request in writing to the City Clerk within ten (10)
days after the hearing officer's decision.
(6)
The failure to pay the fine or request an appeal within thirty (30)
days after the citation of the failure to attend the hearing constitutes
a waiver of the violator's rights to an administrative hearing and an
admission of the violation. A hearing officer may waive this result
upon good cause shown. Examples of "good cause" are: death or
incapacitating illness of the accused; a court order requiring the
accused to appear for another hearing at the time; and lack of
proper service of the citation or notice of the hearing. "Good
cause" shall not include: forgetfulness and intentional delay.
Subd. 5. Administrative Review.
(1) The appeal must be heard by the City Council after notice served
in person or by registered mail at least ten (10) days in advance.
The parties to the hearing shall have an opportunity to present oral
or written arguments regarding the hearing officer's decision.
(2) The City Council must consider the record, the hearing officer's
decision, and any additional arguments before making a
determination. The Council is not bound by the hearing officer's
decision, but may adopt all or part of the officer's decision. The
Council's decision must be in writing.
4
...
.
.
.
(3)
If the Council makes a finding of a violation, if may impose a civil
penalty not exceeding two thousand and no/lOO dollars ($2,000.00)
per day per violation, and may consider any or all of the factors
contained in Subd. 4(4). The Council may also reduce, stay or
waive a fine unconditionally or based on reasonable and
appropriate conditions.
.
(4) In addition to imposing a civil penalty, the Council may suspend or
revoke any City issued license, permit, or other approval associated
with the violation.
Subd. 6. Judicial Review. An aggrieved party may obtain judicial review of the
decision of the hearing officer or the City Council in accordance with State law.
Subd.7. Recovery of Civil Penalties.
(1 ) If a civil penalty is not paid within the time specified, it shall
constitute:
a.
A lien upon the real property upon which the violation
occurred if the property or improvements on the property \
was the subject of the violation and the property owner was
found responsible for that violation; or
A personal obligation of the violator in all other situations.
.
b.
(2) A lien may be assessed against the property and collected in the
same manner as taxes.
(3) A personal obligation may be collected by any appropriate legal
means.
(4) A late payment fee often percent (10%) of the fine must be
assessed for each thirty (30) day period, or part thereof, that the
fine remains unpaid after the due date.
(5) Failure to pay a fine is grounds for suspending or revoking a
license associated with the violation.
Subd. 8. Criminal Penalties. The following are misdemeanors, punishable in
accordance with State law:
(1)
Failure, without good cause, to pay a fine or request a hearing
within thirty (30) days after issuance of an administrative citation.
.
5
(2)
Failure, without good cause, to appear at a hearing which was
scheduled under Subd. 4.
(3) Failure to pay a fine imposed by a hearing officer within thirty (30)
days after it was imposed, or such other time as may be established
by the hearing officer, unless the matter is appealed under Subd. 5.
(4) Failure to pay a fine imposed by the City Council within thirty (30)
days after it was imposed, or such other time as may be established
by the City Council."
2. Savings. Except for this change, the City Code of the City of Stillwater will remain in
full force and effect.
3. Effective Date. This ordinance will be in full force and effect from and after its
publication according to law.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: David T. Magnuson, Stillwater City Attorney ~ V
DATE: November 5, 1998
SUBJECT: On-Sale Intoxicating Liquor Licenses
Until recently State liquor laws provided that for a municipality to issue an On-Sale Intoxicating
Liquor License to a restaurant, the restaurant needed a seating capacity for thirty (30) guests in
cities of the Third Class. Our City Code, states that the seating capacity is that as set forth in the
Statutes.
The Statute was recently changed, however, to provide that restaurants may be issued
Intoxicating On-Sale Liquor Licenses but provides that the restaurant must have "a minimum
seating capacity for guests as prescribed by the appropriate licensing issuing authority".
In order for our Liquor Ordinance to make sense, the Council will need to establish the minimum
seating capacity for guests. The Council is free to adopt the former seating capacity of thirty
(30), however, at the Council's discretion, it could be set at a lesser or greater number. The Staff
requests the Council consider adopting an Ordinance change to make clear our requirements.

RE: Request for annexation-
Kern Center property owners
DA: November 6,1998
.
Discussion:
City Attorney Magnuson received the attached letter from legal counsel for the owners of
Kern Center located in Oak Park Heights (west of state highway #5 and south of state
highway #36). The Kern Center owners are requesting that the City of Stillwater consider
annexation of the Kern Center properties. Obviously there are some interesting issues
related to this matter. Therefore, I would recommend that the Community Development
Director be directed to study this request and submit a report and recommendation to the
Council at a subsequent meeting. If so directed, Steve would meet with the owners as
requested to discuss this matter with them.
Recommendation:
Council direct staff to prepare a report and recommendation regarding the annexation
request of the Kern Center property owners.

Re: Building Owners of Kern Center Improvement
Dear Mr. Magnuson:
: I
Please be advised that we represent the blJilding owners in the Kern Center area of
Washington County. & you know by way ofhackground, they have been annexed by the City
of Oak Park: Heights. This annexation has not been smooth, nor cooper.dive on behalf of the
City of Oak Park Heights. The most recent areas of concern have been rezoning and
assessments.
, "
, ~
';:
The building owners would like to have a meeting with the City of Stillwater staff at the .
end of November to discuss the possibility of detachment and alignment with the City of
Stillwater. The building owners believe that the Kern Center Area would be a great asset to
Stillwater, and as a result, Stillwater would be more responsive to the issues involved in the Kern

Center.

Subject: Election returns
It was very very impressive to check the Stillwater web page this morning
(11-4 at 8:30) and find the Stillwater election returns on it. None of the
other media (WCCO or the Pioneer Press) seemed to have the Stillwater
returns. Because we are leaving town here shortly, it was good to know the
outcome of the Stillwater elections now, rather than having to wait several
days until we return.
Good workt~lt is also great to have all the Council and Commission
meeting minutes on the web page. All in all, it is quite an
accomplishment. Keep up the good work.

SUBJECT: NLC Policy and Steering Committee Vacancies
Recently, we advertised in the Cities Bulletin for city officials who might be interested in serving
on NLC's policy and steering committees. While we did receive some expressions of interest as
a result, we still have the opportunity to make several appointments to policy committees.
Vacancies for 1999 still exist on all but the Human Development Policy Committee. Enclosed is
a brief explanation of the NLC Policy Process and discussion of the policy committee
responsibilities.
If you are aware of anyone in your city who would be interested in serving, please let me know
by November 20th. -

NLC'S POLICY PROCESS:
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHA T IS POLICY?
For the National League of Cities, a policy is a dynamic, grassroots-driven position
statement on major issues of concern to cities and towns. The National Municipal Policy,
and annual resolutions, contain the formally adopted positions taken by the organization on
national issues. As a national membership organization, NLC focuses its policy positions
on federal actions, programs, and proposals which directly impact municipalities. With its
policy development process, NLC looks ahead by attempting to identify emerging issues of
immediate and long-term consequence to the nation's cities and towns. This strategic focus .
is essential to ensure that the resulting policy provides a solid statement of the concepts and
concerns of critical importance to municipal officials.
WHA T IS THE RELA TIONSIDP BETWEEN NLC'S POLICY AND ITS FEDERAL
ADVOCACY EFFORTS?
NLC's policy pr-ovides the foundation for its federal advocacy efforts.
1.) Policy - To shape its policy, NLC's members must be anticipatory in their work and
must ask: what are the emerging issues and concerns facing cities and towns as a result of
federal proposals and actions? It is essential to establish policy that consists of guiding
principles rather than legislation-specific statements, so that NLC can set forth clear
positions and visions.
2.) Advocacy - The efforts undertaken by the lobbying staff are focused on telling
Congress, the White House, and the Supreme Court what city leaders believe is best for the
nation's cities. NLC policy statements are the foundation of the organization's advocacy
efforts with the White House, Congress, federal agencies, and the judiciary. The NLC
policy process produces guidance that provides the advocacy staff a solid foundation upon
which to examine, assess, and advocate specific proposals.
.
.
WHAT IS NLC'S POLICY COMMITTEE STRUCTURE?
There are two components to each of the six committees: a larger body known as the Policy
Committee and a smaller working group known as the Steering Committee. Each is
explained further below:
Membership on a Policy Committee is drawn from the 49 state municipal leagues. The
Policy Committees represent a broad cross-section of the NLC membership. The state
municipal leagues select elected and/or appointed city officials from their state to serve as
members of the Policy Committees. Each league has from three to seven positions on each
Policy Committee based on the size of that state's municipal population; -
In March, each Policy Committee deteITIlines the agenda of issues within their jurisdiction
that warrant action during the course of the year. That agenda is then referred to the
Steering Committee for further development and recommendations. The Policy Committee
reconvenes at the Congress of Cities to review the work of the Steering Committee. It is the
responsibility of the Policy Committee to decide if the Steering Committee's
recommendations should go forward for consideration by the NLC membership as
presented, be amended or rejected.
.
2.) The Steering Committee is a working group of approximately 35-40 elected
officials from direct member cities who are charged with studying the policy agenda set by
the Policy Committee and determining what, if any, changes are warranted in the National
Municipal Policy. Between the Congressional City Conference and the Congress of Cities,
the Steering Committees hold at least two additional meetings in order to develop their
recommendations. Each member must arrange for his or her own travel expenses to
participate at the meetings.
In January, the new NLC President selects the policy leadership -- chairs and vice chairs --
who guide both the Steering and Policy Committees. The chair, in concert with the NLC
President, reviews the applications of those interested in serving and selects the Steering
Committee membership. In determining the Steering Committee membership, a number of
factors are considered to construct a broad-based team representative of NLC's diverse
membership. This review encompasses factors such as expertise in the committee's issue
area, section of the country represented, city size, gender, ethnicity, party affiliation, etc.
WHAT IS THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE POLICY AGENDA AND THE
LEGISLATIVE AGENDA?
.
The policy agenda represents the work program for the six policy committees during the
course of a calendar year. The policy agenda should consist of emerging concerns facing
municipalities and areas where current policy should be created, updated, or expanded.
These are the topics Policy Committee members identify in March. Then, the Steering
Committee members develop recommendations during their spring and fall meetings and .
report to the Policy Committees at the Congress of Cities. The recommendations that are
agreed upon by the Policy Committees, accepted by the Resolutions Committee, and
adopted at the Annual Business Meeting, then become NLC's policy (the National
Municipal Policy) and the basis for future advocacy efforts.
NLC's annual legislative agenda is contained in the "Action Agenda" which focuses on
federal actions on issues of importance to cities and towns that are likely to receive
Congressional attention during the upcoming year. NLC members provide input on the
issues of top legislative concern during the Congress of Cities when a ballot is circulated.
The Board of Directors reviews the results and narrows the number of topics to five or six
top legislative issues to be focused on during the year. During the March Congressional
City Conference, the NLC President challenges the entire membership with the
responsibility for achieving these objectives.
HOW DOES NLC STATE ITS POLICY?
1) The National Municipal Policy (NMP) is a permanent, yet dynamic, statement of
!\TLC's position on national matters. The NMP is divided into six chapters which
correspond with the six Policy Committees.
2) Resolutions are policy statements which are considered annually. Resolutions may .
address specific pieces of legislation, but cannot override existing policy as stated in the
NMP. Unless action is taken to renew a resolution or convert it into policy language,
resolutions sunset at the Congress of Cities following their adoption.
HOW IS POLICY ADOPTED?
Policy is adopted by the NLC membership at the annual Congress of Cities Conference held
in early December. At the annual business meeting, voting delegates from the state
municipal leagues and direct member cities select NLC's leadership for the upcoming year,
consider the work of the six policy committees, and vote on whether the recommended
policy amendments and resolutions should be incorporated into the NMP.
WHAT ARE THE SIX POLICY COMMITTEES?
Community and Economic Development (CED) Committee is responsible
for national urban policy in local economic development, community
development and community development block grants, housing and
neighborhood development, land use, recreation and parks, and historic
preservation. .

insurance, income support programs, immigration and refugees, health and
education, equal opportunity, and social services.
Public Safety and Crime Prevention (PSCP) Committee is responsible for
policy in the areas of crime prevention, corrections, substance abuse,
municipal fire policy, juvenile justice, and disaster preparedness and
emergency response.
Transportation and Communications (T &C) Committee is responsible for
policy development on issues related to public transit, streets and highways,
air transportation, railroads and waterways, and cable television and
telecommunications.
HOW CAN I KEEP INFORMED ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH THE
NLC POLICY PROCESS?
Nation's Cities Weekly, the official publication of the National League of Cities, is the most
efficient and effective means available to advise all NLC members of what is happening
with the policy process. Reports are regularly provided following each Steering Committee
meeting. Updates throughout the year are provided on the policy process and how the
membership can be involved.

1998 Metropolitan Governance Report
.
1. Introduction
The Metropolitan Council was originally established to be a
regional planning agency. However, the Met Council has evolved
into an agency that also operates transit and wastewater disposal
and administers several federal, state and regional grant programs
for parks, pollution clean-up, housing and redevelopment. In
addition, the Met Council has a functioning housing and
redevelopment authority. The Met Council's activities and annual
budget, which is about $400.0 million, are the responsibility of a
17-member board. The board is appointed by and serves at the
pleasure of the governor.
.
While the functions of the Met Council have changed, the Met
Council's governance structure has basically remained unchanged.
The evolving functions and the unchanged governing structure
have prompted several legislative proposals regarding the Met
Council's governing structure. The legislative proposals have
included a directly elected Met Council, a Met Council composed
of county commissioners elected to the Council, and the abolition
of the Met Council. All the governance proposals have either been
vetoed or have failed to gain legislative approval. As the 1999
Legislative Session approaches, there will probably be similar
proposals introduced.
The Association of Metropolitan Municipalities (AMM) has been
studying the Met Council, its governance structure and roles and
responsibilities. The AMM's Metropolitan Agencies Committee
began meeting in May 1998 and has developed several
observations, principles and criteria to evaluate governance
proposals.
The following sections include the committee's principles and
options, general observations and recommendations.
.
1998 Metropolitan Governance Report
2. Principles & Options
.
As defined in statute, the Met Council is a public corporation and a
political subdivision of the state. The Met Council, however, is not
like most political subdivisions. It may appear to function as a
general-purpose unit of government. For example, the Met Council
can authorize a property tax levy and it receives its authority from
the legislature.
The Met Council, unlike other general-purpose units, has a
reporting relationship with the governor who appoints all Met
Council members and approves legislative initiatives. To others,
the Met Council may function as a state agency. The governor's. role
with the Met Council and the need for legislative authority to
conduct most activities suggest that the Met Council is similar to a
state agency.
Being aware of the discussion regarding the status of the Met
Council - government or state agency - the committee offers the
following advantages and disadvantages of three metropolitan
governance models.
.
Metropolitan Governance Model #1
If the Met Council is a state agency.
Advantages
. Budget review and approval and setting of fee amounts should
be a state (legislative) function.
. An advisory council of appointed members similar to the board
of the Pollution Control Agency (PCA) could be established.
. The operating functions of the Met Council could become part
of existing state agencies.
Disadvantages
. Many regional issues including budget approval, land use
planning, and user fees for regional services should be made by .
a regional body.
2
1999 Metropolitan Governance Report
.
. The comprehensive planning review and growth strategies need
local government and citizen input.
. Review at the state level further distances the customers from
the decision-makers.
Metropolitan Governance Model #2
If the Met Council is viewed as a regional operating agency with an
elected board and a planningagency with a separate appointed
board.
. The board would be similar in size to the Met Council and
could be responsible for regional long-range planning and
coordinating.
. The operating agency could also be initially responsible for
wastewater treatment and transit, but also be legislatively
authorized to assume such services as air.ports or sports
facilities.
.
Advantages
. The organization would be more directly accountable to the
electorate.
. Regional planning and growth management would be separate
from operation of regional services.
. There would be less involvement by the governor.
. There would be less involvement in operating issues by the
state legislature and the governor.
. The organization may provide for more clear direction from the
electorate.
Disadvantages
. Planning and service delivery are separate.
.
. The organizational structure could dilute the importance and
impact of long-range planning.
1998 Metropolitan Governance Report
3
. Another layer of elected government has been established.
.
. The organization could be more costly than the current Met
Council.
. The elected operating agency of the Met Council could be
subject to greater influence from special interests or vendors
providing campaign financing.
Metropolitan Governance Model #3
If the Met Council is a political subdivision and a planning and
operating agency with an elected governing body
. The governing body could be elected directly by the voters or
by local government officials representing the district.
. The latter procedure is similar to the selection process used to
select the University of Minnesota Board of Regents.
Advantages
. The system would be more directly accountable to the
electorate.
.
. There would be less direct involvement by the governor and
legislature.
. The system may provide for more clear direction from the
electorate.
Disadvantages
. Another layer of elected government has been established.
. An elected Met Council could be granted expanded authority
by the legislature to include activities currently provided by
other political subdivisions, such as land use planning and
zoning or offer new services.
. An elected Met Council could be subject to greater influence
from special interests that could provide campaign financing.
.

1999 Metropolitan Governance Report
.
The committee did not adopt any of the proposed alternatives but
in listing the advantages and disadvantages was able to develop a
list of criteria that are essential for the framing of an acceptable
legislative proposal.
3. General Observations of the Committee
The committee met with several elected and appointed officials to
discuss previous reports and express their views on the issue of
metropolitan governance. The following are the committee's
observations along with a general recommendation for each
finding.
Regional Problem
.
Observation
The presence or perception of a crisis did not motivate the study.
The committee did observe that no regional issue is evident that
requires a change in governance.
General Recommendation
The region should examine the role and function of the Met
Council and its relationship with local government.
Metropolitan Council Reorganization Act
Observation
The 1994 Metropolitan Council Reorganization Act merged the
transit and wastewater functions into the Met Council. To date
there has been no evaluation of the merger to assess the
reorganization.
General Recommendation
The Legislative Auditor should examine the new structure to
determine if the region has been better served by the new structure
and if the Met Council is the best agency to deliver the services.
.
1998 Metropolitan Governance Report
5
Collar Counties
.
Observation
The region's impact extends beyond the seven counties. The collar
counties are growing in population and many residents of the
collar counties commute into the metro area for work.
General Recommendation
The region should be recognized to be more than the current seven
counties. There should a means to involve local governments from
the collar counties with the Met Council.
Local Government Involvement
Observation
City and county officials expressed a lack of comfort with the Met
Council. Many officials believe that the relationship has improved
but want to have more involvement of the Met Council with their
local government.
General Recommendation
There should be a more formalized process for local government
involvement, including the selection of Met Council members.
.
Basic Operations
Observation
The Met Council functions with many governmental
responsibilities including but not limited to fee setting, making a
tax levy and adopting regulations and also operates as a state
agency. For example, the Met Council must request a state
appropriation for the transit system. Therefore, it is difficult to
determine what is the most appropriate governance structure.
General Recommendation
Because of the unique nature of its tasks and duties, the Met
Council's structure should not be limited to one form or the other.
Refer to section five for specific recommendations.

_4.. Issues Related to the Selection Method of
-.-,..?-
Metropolitan Council Members
The committee discussed the various methods of selecting Met
Council members. While not favoring a particular method, the
committee developed an issues list for several alternatives. The list
is as follows:
H the procedure for Met Council member selection remains as is:
. Concern that representatives of a district may represent the
governor's interests rather than the interests of the district.
. Not adequate involvement of local elected officials in the
selection process.
. If a representative is unresponsive to requests for dialogue with
local officials, there is no meaningful recourse.
. There is no direct participation in the selection process by the
general public, although not everyone felt that the general
public wants to be involved in the process.
H Met Council members are elected by a direct election of the
general public:
. Concern that selection process would be unduly politicized.
. Concern for campaign funding and undue influence by special
interests.
. Concern for creation of another formal level of government, and
the possibility that once elected, the Met Council would be
given more authority over local governments, especially in
relation to land use decisions.
H Met Council members are appointed by the governor from a list
of candidates provided by local elected officials:
. Would address the issue of involvement of local officials in the
selection process, but may not bring forward the best candidate
that has a regional perspective.
1998 Metropolitan Governance Report
7
. May not allow for representation of all stakeholders in the
region (including the perspective of the development
community).
.
U Met Council members are elected bv local elected oHicials:
. Would address the issue of involvement of local officials in the
selection process, but may not bring forward the best candidate
that has a regional perspective.
. May not allow for representation of all stakeholders in the
region (including the perspective of the development
community).
5. Recommendation on Changing the Selection Method
of Metropolitan Council Members
A. The committee recommends that fixed, staggered terms be
established for Met Council members.
.
B. The committee recommends that no changes should be made to
the Met Council unless a governance proposal meets the
following criteria:
Terms of Office
Members of the Met Council should be selected to serve a fixed
term of office. The terms of the members should be staggered.
Met Council Powers
The Met Council should continue to be a long-range planning
agency and potentially an operator or oversight agency for regional
services. As such, the Met Council must maintain planning,
coordinating and local assistance as a high priority.
Additional Powers
New powers must not expand or override city responsibilities,
especially land use regulation authority. The Met Council must not .
become an agency with general local government powers.
8
1999 Metropolitan Govemance Report
.
State Role
The legislature should focus on broad oversight of the Met
Council's mission and services.
Local Govemment
Local elected officials must be involved in the selection process of
Met Council members and there must be a mechanism to facilitate
meaningful dialogue and input between the Met Council and cities.
Collar Counties
The metropolitan region clearly includes the seven designated
counties and the adjacent eleven Minnesota counties, as well as
three Wisconsin counties. The needs of the collar counties and the
entire metropolitan region beyond the current seven county region
must be addressed.
Met Council Members
.
The selection process must strive to appoint Met Council members
who have an understanding of and will be responsive to the district
represented, as well as be responsive to the best interest of the
region as a whole. The selection process should limit the potential
influence and support (including financial) of special interests.
The above criteria attempt to fashion a regional governance
structure that has a distinct mission but does not establish a
political subdivision with local government powers or one that is a
state agency. The Met Council should not be a super government
that could override local powers or be a state agency. Rather, the
Met Council should have a distinct mission of long-range planning
and operation of legislatively authorized regional services.

Statutes Section 103B.231, Subd. 9 and Subd. 11
ORDER AMENDING
BROWN'S CREEK
WATERSHED DISTRICT
MANAGEl\1ENTPLAN
Whereas, the Washington County Board of Commissioners, acting as the Brown's Creek
Watershed Management Organization, submitted a Watershed Management Plan Amendment
(plan Amendment) for the purpose of flood relief in the Brown's Creek Watershed with the
Board of Water and Soil Resources (Board) dated June 16, 1997, pursuant to Minn. Stat. ~
103B.231, Subd. 11, and;

e. October 22, 1997 Brown's Creek Watershed District established by Board of
Water and Soil Resources.
f. October 28, 1997 Brown's Creek Watershed District holds first meeting.
C1 November 24, 1997 Brown's Creek Watershed District reviews draft response to
O'
agency comments.
h. January 26, 1998 Brown's Creek Watershed District finalizes response to
agency comments.
I. March 16,1998 Brown's Creek Watershed District submits revised Plan
Amendment to Board of Water and Soil Resources
J. October 6, 1998 Brown's Creek Watershed District submits fmal Plan .
An1endment to Board of Water and Soil Resources.
2. Summary of Projects: The Plan Amendment clearly states that the proposed outlet
design for the School SectiOn/Goggins Lake will be implemented ONLY after the
relocation of a severely affected household, completion of the LCMR wetland/infiltration
study, and a determination by the Brown's Creek Watershed District Board of Managers
of what further actions are needed to address basin flooding problems. Then, if needed, ,
the process for implementing a permanent outlet solution would include development of a
concept plan, a further feasibility study, environmental review, preliminary and fmal
designs, a minor watershed plan amendment (if necessary), development of plans and
specifications, obtaining permits and easements, and construction. The proposed outlet
design for Kismet Basin consists of a series of corrugated metal pipes, water courses, and
wetlands that would drain into Brown's Creek.
3. Summary ofRcyiew Process:
a. BWSR, MDNR, MPCA, MDA, and the Metropolitan Council all provided

Date: 10/15/98
Time: 6:30pm
Location: SWCD office
Committee members present: Angela Anderson, Pam Bjorum, Jyneen Thatcher
Board members present: none
Other individuals pr-esent: . none
Due to a conflict in room scheduling, the meeting was held in the SWCD office,
rather than in the conference room. Unfortunately, some of the committee members
did not find the meeting.
The committee members present listed the properties known to have experienced some
damage from the high water. This list will be provided to the BC managers, and added to
as other sites are identified. .
The committee began review of the Brown's Creek Watershed Management Plan, starting
with Section ill: Existing and potential problems. Rather than re-writing details, the
group took a broader view, noting that sub-sections A and B (Flooding and Erosion) still
exist, but need revision to include the new sites identified, and to exclude those that are no
longer an issue. Under Subsection C (Surface water quality), the group felt that instead of
the general explanation of threats to water quality, more detail be provided on the
specifics in the watershed. This should include both a baseline of the current levels and
target levels. The overview sh~:)Uld explain how these problems fit into or threaten the
watershed. Much of this information can probably be taken from either the H&H study or
the Draft Rules. Thermal impacts should be added. Sub-section D (recreation and fish &
wildlife habitat) needs to be revised, following the current level of information on the trout
habitat. But this section should also address other wildlife and recreation concerns
including the upstream fishery areas (such as School Section Lake ice fishing pressure)
and County Biological Survey sites along the Creek corridor. On a detail level: the
correct name of the trail is "Gateway Segment of the WIllard Munger State Trail." The
section on Groundwater needs updating, again possibly from the H&H study. Another
detail: "irrigation" does not seem to be a growing demand.
On Section IV: Goals, Objectives and Policies, we expect there will be a correlation
between these and the Rules. This section will need to be revisited after we've seen the
Draft Rules written by the Board. However, a few direct comments were made. In .
A. Water Ouantity, the goal and objectives need to be reworded, and possibly reconsidered
.
for priority. Suggested was a switch from emphasis on "capital expenditures" to emphasis
on resource protection. Objective 1 and several of the policies seem to emphasize or rely
on a piped outlet as a solution for water quantity issues. This is contrary to the actions
taken'so far by the Board. Other policies refer to specific engineering standards, and
should be revis~d along the lines of the Rules. Policies la and Ib refer to Ie .eh cf
importance. Greater definition is needed. One suggestion for prioritization of waters of
importance is mainstem and immediate subwatershed as district importance, and outlying
basins as local importance. Those present did encourage District involvement in all waters
of the watershed, not relying on local units of government. The policies dealing with
wetlands should be revised to conform with the Wetland Conservation Act at a minimum,
and further restrictions included in the Rules. In Section B Water Quality, the term "water
quality" should be defined by explaining the current and target level of "quality." The
objectives and policies for wetlands should be revised to conform to WCA and MPCA
standards. Objectives and policies for wastewater treatment need to be updated, and
mention of "urban" runoff concerns needs to be added. Objectives pertaining to thermal
impacts and buffers need to be added, following the Rules.
Meeting was adjourned at 8:30. At our next meeting, we will continue in this manner
unless the Board re-directs the Committee.
.
Items to be brought to the Board:
1. Please review the above comments on the Watershed Plan, and make any suggestions
or requests on our approach toward the 2nd Generation Plan.

RE: List of properties affected by the high water levels
This list is intended to inform the Board of properties in the Watershed District that have
been affected by the high water levels. It is not an all-inclusive list, nor is it a request
for assistance for these property owners. But these are felt to be significant locations
that might be pertinent in future studies of the District. As sites are brought to our
attention, we will add them to the list, and update you periodically.
