This service is provided at no additional fee. . Consultant . James L. Brimeyer I Jim has twemy years of experience in public sector management and has been involved in executive search since July, 1988. Mr. Brimeyer served in public administration in four cities, three as City Manager, including his last position in 51. Louis Park, Minnesota (pop. 45,000), with a budget of $28 million and 230 employees. He also served in Worthington, Ohio, and Wood Dale, Illinois. He began his career as Assistant City Manager in Park Ridge, Illinois after obtaining a Master's degree in Public Administration from Northern Illinois University. His Bachelor's degree is from Loras College in Dubuque, Iowa. I I I Mr. Brimeyer is past President of the Ohio City Management Association. He belongs to the International City Management Association, the Metropolitan Area Management. Association, the Minnesota City Management Association, the National Forum for Black Public Administrators, and the Minnesota Municipal Utilities Association. He is active in the Twin W est Chamber of Commerce. He is Past President of the 51. Louis Park Rotary and Past President of the Rotary Foundation Board. I I In January, 1996 Mr. Brimeyer began a four-year term as City Council Member At-Large in 51. Louis Park, Minnesota. . I - . tI -. It q City of Stillwater Page Two The Search Process We anticipate the search for the Police Chief for the City of Stillwater will take from three to four months (90 to 120 days) from the time we are retained to the time the City Council makes an offer. This is somewhat dependent on the time required to screen candidates, and the availability of the City Council to review consultant reports and conduct final interviews. We have prepared a preliminary timetable which corresponds to the various steps in the process. After further discussions with the City Council we will refine the timetable and develop a target date for the reporting of the new Police Chief. PHASE I Position Profile A successful search begins with a thorough definition and agreement by the City on each aspect of the position to be filled. During this initial phase our consultants will meet with the City Council, City Coordinator, Department Heads, and police department staff to learn more about your goals and objectives. Critical factors to be determined include position responsibility and authority; reporting relationships; educational and experience requirements; personal and leadership qualities; management style, and organizational priorities. The listing of priorities serves a two-fold purpose: It assists the hiring authority in developing a consensus on what is important for the organization and it alerts potential candidates to the important issues of the organization. Of equal importance to the success of the search is identifying the community priorities and environment in which the Police Chief must function. We would expect to meet with selected representatives from the community to further assess the climate within which the selected candidate will most effectively perform. This may be accomplished through individual interviews or through a public forum. Prior to our meetings we will supply an Ideal Candidate Profile Survey to assist the interviewees in assembli~g their ideas on what should be included in the Position Profile. As a result of the meetings we will reach an understanding of the critical specifications of the position and we will draft a Position Profile. A great deal of emphasis is placed on the agreement of this analysis. Without this information, it is difficult to determine how potential candidates will affect the City's plans and organizational team. The final Position Profile becomes the document again~t which we evaluate prospective candidates. During the meeting with the City Council agreement will be reached concerning the number of qualified candidates that will be interviewed before making a final decision. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .; . . ,; . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . -:. . $5,000.00 ('--I _.::-~~ ,_:;;.w __~;!...::--:';~"".~___--:-'..."..;;J City of Stillwater Page Three . PHASE II ~ II Place Announcements - Recruit Candidates I After the Profile is approved, we will conduct a comprehensive program to contact candidates and determine sources of candidates. In addition to placing announcements in the appropriate professional and trade journals, we will identify potential candidates through personal contacts with public sector professionals and other members of similar organizations. In addition, we will use our research staff to identify comparable organizations from which key individuals can be contacted. Often we are able to identify candidates from similar assignments who may be appropriate for the position. We will directly recruit specific individuals with established patterns of talent, stability, and success. I I Review Resumes and Screen Candidates I Numerous prospects will be screened against the Position Profile. From these individuals we will compile a broad list of prospects for the job. An initial confidential telephone contact will be made to promising candidates to determine their suitability and interest. . I After our research and sourcing is completed, several qualified candidates emerge for evaluation and comparison. Thorough, intensive, one-on-one interviews will be conducted with the leading candidates by our staff. Our in-depth evaluation and appraisal techniques will cover issues such as work experience, education, professional development and achievement, career objectives, accomplishments, suitability, and specific interest in the Stillwater position. I I Progress Report I Following the screening and evaluation, we will prepare a Progress Report that will provide information on 10 to 12 candidates who have been judged to meet or exceed the requirements of the position. This Progress Report will provide specific information on the individuals' educational and work history; accomplishments and growth potential; strengths and possible limitations. We will personally deliver and review these reports with the City Council. On the. basis of this review, four to six candidates will be selected for further consideration. At this time we will propose a schedule for interviewing the candidates.

Adopted by Council this 3nd day of February, 1998. Jay Kimble, Mayor ATTEST: Modi Weldon, City Clerk ., " _';1. ~ . MEMO 0: MAYOR & CITY COUNCIL FROM: DIANE DEBLON, FlNANCE Dffi.ECTOR ~~ DATE: JANUARY 30, 1998 SUBJECT: REPLACEMENT OF JUNIOR ACCOUNT CLERK Background A separation of duties for the telephone receptionist and utility billing is imperative for the most efficient operation of the fInance department and resolves the lack of internal control issue. We can not overemphasize the need to address the problems & irregularities with the combined duties of receptionist and utility billing. The city's auditors have separately identified this problem of "incompatible job duties" and their recommendation is to split the receptionist and fInance duties. I concur with this recommendation and believe it is in the best interest of the city to split up the job duties of the prior junior account clerk. . The benefIts include: creating internal control for over three million dollars ($3,000,000) in billing per year, creating equitable pay relationships (i.e. - receptionist pay for receptionist duties and accounting pay for accounting duties), separation of incompatible job duties (i.e. - totally different skills required for reception and finance duties), creating an appropriate work environment for fInance duties (i.e. - telephone reception duties are an interruption! disruption). Further, there is a misconception that the junior account clerk was at the reception desk 100% of the time. In fact, many duties were performed in the computer room and must continue to be performed at the main computer, requiring the absence from the reception desk. Further, there were times when the computer room was utilized to avoid interruptions and facilitate accuracy in dollars and accounts. Analysis To resolve previous problems and irregularities with the utility billing, the finance department staff has pursued this diligently and we are still suffering the consequences of the extra time devoted to this. Staff determined that the utility billing function was more appropriately reassigned to full-time staff, rather than the temp that was approved by council. As such, Jen has continued to perform the utility billing duties, and the temp has been performing many other tasks within the department. To re-assign the utility billing to a junior account clerk with reception duties would be a devastation to the finance department after everything this entire department has been through to repair and resolve the prior damage done. . Further, the utility billing has evolved over the years that I have been here to a level of complexity beyond the education and experience level that is described within the city's junior account clerk , job description. We no longer have one rate for garbage and one rate for sewer. We have multi- . rates for sanitary sewer based on types of use, multi-rates for garbage (taxable and non-taxable), multi-rates for storm sewer based on types of use, sales tax, garbage assessment, recycling r~es, multi-unit charges and penalties for late fees. Any finance department duties require com~ skills (pC and mainframe) as well as accounting skills and knowledge to competently perform those duties. Conclusion The replacement of the junior account clerk is just that, a replacement, it is NOT an addition to the finance department staff We are currently utilizing the services of a temp that has indicated she would be willing to accept the 75% Senior Account Clerk position, should it become available. This person is local, qualified and a proven performer in the finance department. While staff discussions and meetings with administration did not resolve the issue, we are willing to offer a compromise of75% receptionist and 75% intermediate account clerk to our original position of 50% receptionist and 75% senior account clerk. Both options would be less than the 1998 finance budgeted amount of $32,902. Recommendation Staff recommends council split the job held by the prior junior account clerk into receptionist and senior or intermediate account clerk. . . . t ~ . . o f #1 'Pll0n . .

That recommendation stated the City would improve accuracy and efficiency by automating the utility billing process so the water commission's meter readings could enter the sewer billing system electronically and that the utility billing function should be transferred . from the front desk to the finance department to provide important segregation of duties. In other words, the billing function should be physically removed from the front desk collections process and billing responsibilities should be removed from the front desk job description. We further recommended, in our August report, that the finance department should reconcile the detail accounts receivable ledger to the general ledger including tie out of billings, collections and account adjustments to an approved "adjustment" report. All of these procedures are important to provide necessary segregation of the incompatible duties of billing/adjustments from the collection/receipts process. I have attached a copy of pages 4-6 of our August 15, 1997 letter which also addressed Receipts Process, Computerizing the Cash Register Systeffi; Remitting of Water Payments Received at City Hall, Procedures for Accounts Receivable Adjustment and Collection Efforts for Old Accounts Receivable. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you wish to discuss these issues further and in greater detail, or if I could be of assistance in the practical implementation issues involved in restructuring the utility billing and receipts process.

STAFF REQUEST ITEM DEPARTMENT: PARKS DATE: 1/28/97 DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST (Briefly outline what the request is): In my 1998 Budget I have $2, 900.00 for a fax machine, copy machine and printer. was able to purchase a 5 in 1 machine from Viking Office products at a sale price of $853.89. This will give me a balance of $2,046.11 in my budget to purchase a Gateway computer with all the programs I need for approximately $1,800.00. I request to make this purchase. FINANCIAL IMPACT (Briefly outline the costs, if any, that are associated with this request and the proposed source of the funds needed to fund the request) $2,046.00 lift in my Capital Outlay Office Budget ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ATTACHED YES NO x ALL COUNCIL REQUEST ITEMS MUST BE SUBMITTED TO THE CITY CLERK A MINIMUM OF FIVE WORKING DAYS PRIOR TO THE NEXT REGULARLY SCHEDULED COUNCIL MEETING IN ORDER TO BE PLACED IN THE COUNCIL MATERIAL PACKET. SUBMITTED BY ~ c-~ DATE /--?;-y~ . . . STAFF REQUEST ITEM DEPARTMENT: Building Inspection DATE: January 9. 1998 DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST (Briefly outline what the request is): The Inspection Department is requesting permission to purchase two new computers with the money that was approved in the 1998 budget. It will be necessary to replace Alan's computer because it is not capable of running all of the software programs without running some of them off the network. This uses up valuable space on our servers that could be used for data, backups and server functions. Although Cindy's computer may not need to be replaced for another year or two, it will need to be replaced in the near future. It would be in the best interest of the City to replace both computers so that we could use those computers in other departments, such as the Police Department, where there is not money allocated for computers. The Police department would not need to load all of the software needed in Inspections and therefore these computers would work well for them. By replacing older computers as needs dictate and using them for other departments (instead of buying new computers all around), the City will be able to give more people access to the benefits of our network. Technology changes rapidly, we need to keep the big picture in mind when purchasing equipment and look at the needs of all Departments within the City and how to keep the employees working as efficiently as possible. FINANCIAL IMPACT (Briefly outline the costs, if any, that are associated with this request and the proposed source of the funds needed to fund the request) 2 Gateway computers @ approximately $1,650.00 each, plus one internal modem for permit software support at approximately $80.00 and HP Laserjet 6Pse printer will cost approximately $905.00. The Capital Outlay budget has $5,000.00 allocated for a new computer and printer. The total cost of 2 computers and one printer will be approximately $4,700 including tax and shipping.

Clerk DA: January 30, 1998 Discussion: As was discussed at the meeting of January 20th, Sue Stickan, Junior Account Clerk, retired as of January 19th and it will be necessary to hire another individual to replace her. Ms. Stickan' s duties primarily included receptionist and utility billings. The Council asked that this issue be placed on the agenda for the February 3rd meeting because there was a difference of opinion regarding how the position would be filled. I had recommended that no change be made to the duties of the new employee and that only one "replacement" employee be hired. However, Diane disagreed with my position and recommended that a part time (75%) Sr. Account Clerk and part time (50%) cashier/receptionist be hired as a replacement for the Junior Account Clerk position. Subsequent to the January 20th meeting I asked Diane and Modi to prepare a list of the duties and responsibilities that would be performed by finance and administration employees. I asked that this is done in order to better understand the work that was being performed by current staff and to determine what the duties and responsibilities would be for any new employees. More importantly I needed to know if it was necessary to hire more than one employee to perform the work that had been performed by only one employee in the past. Finally, I believed that the list of duties and responsibilities could be used to develop appropriate job descriptions (and an appropriate salary) for the positions if more than one employee were to be hired. The result of this exercise is that we now have a better understanding of what the specific duties and responsibilities would be for current as well as for new employees. I still believe that the duties and responsibilities could be performed by hiring only one replacement employee who would be the utility billing clerk and the receptionist. However, we would be able to use the information to develop more definitive job descriptions if the council approves two positions, As I indicated at the previous meeting I opposed the hiring of two part time employees because I was concerned that 1) Administration needed a full time receptionist at the front counter, and 2) Other department heads that had, during the budget process, requested, but were denied additional staff might resent an increase in staff for either Administration or Finance. On the other hand, it would appear that with the proposed additions and with the additions that have been made to Administration and to Finance over the past two years, the two departments would be adequately staffed and requests for additional staff would not be (and should not be) necessary for quite a while. Recommendation: Council determine appropriate replacement of Junior Account Clerk position (i.e., replace as per previous position or create two separate positions, Account Clerk and a Receptionist). . . .' . . .

MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and Council FR: City Coordinator RE: Claim for damages DA: January 30, 1998 Discussion: Accompanying this memo is a claim that was submitted by Vera Hawkins for damage (primarily cleanup expenses) to her property that occurred on July 1, 1997. Ms. Hawkins claims the damage was the result of storm water over flowing the River View parking lot (Third and Pine streets) during a heavy rainstorm - a situation that she says did not occur prior to the construction of the lot. Our insurance carrier has denied the claim ($180.00) and Ms. Hawkins is considering conciliation court. Although, I think it would be difficult for anyone to show that the City is liable for the damages, I would recommend that the City pay the claim. Primarily because, if this issue goes to conciliation court, it would require at least 2-3 hours of stafftime to defend the City and I think this time is worth more than the $180.00. If the claim was substantial then I think the situation would be different. However, the claim is very small and I think we should "buy our peace" and settle the claim (without admitting to any liability). This item is on the consent agenda and will be added to the bills if Council approves. Recommendation: Settle damage claim submitted by Vera Hawkins in the amount of$180.00. /jf:n NAME OF CLAIMANT ADDRESS J; 0 (; S. 3~ Sf S1 I 11 L<..)'fJ- -t--e:...-- PHONE NO.

MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and Council FR: City Coordinator RE: Sports Complex Mgmt RFP and bid for ice re-surfacing machine. DA: January 30, 1998 Discussion: Accompanying this memo is a draft of the Request for Proposal for management service for the operation and maintenance of the new sports complex (and the Lily Lake Arena). Staffwould like to advertise the RFP to see if there are qualified management firms available to manage the facilities. The RFP lists the primary responsibilities and duties of the management firm. Essentially, the firm would be responsible for all aspects of the arena/fieldhouse operations similar to what is now in place for the Lily Lake arena. The firm would be paid on a fixed fee basis with additional compensation based on the results of operation. We do not have a draft management agreement at this time. However, the agreement, including compensation, would be developed based on the availability of a firm and through negotiations with the firm. The process and schedule would be as follows: 1. Advertise week of February 2nd; 2. Close applications on March 9th (this allows about 4 weeks to submit an application); 3. Interview prospective management firms during the month of March; 4. Select (or reject) management firm by April 1 st ; and 5. Develop and enter into a management agreement by May 1 st. I would recommend that we invite representatives ofISD 834, the local hockey and soccer associations, and the Park and Rec. Board (which would include Councilmember Cummings) to participate in the process. We should also consider individuals that would represent the general public and perhaps even the other jurisdictions that are contributing to the sports complex. For your information I will be meeting with representatives ofISD 834, the hockey and soccer associations and other users to begin discussions related to the 1998/99 skating and soccer (fieldhouse) season. These users usually begin developing their respective schedules about May of each year and I want to ensure that the users have adequate time to prepare their schedules (and that we do not jeopardize our revenue potential) - even if we do not have a management firm on board by May, 1998. Staff is also in the process of preparing specifications for the purchase of an ice-resurfacing machine (i.e., Zamboni). Unless the Council objects, we will also proceed with advertising for the resurfacing machine. Recommendation: Council authorize advertising for Request for Proposals for management services and for an ice- resurfacing machine. /JlyGL t , . . . , 'j . .

DESCRIPTION OF FACILITIES New Facilities In the Fall of 1996, the City of Stillwater commenced with the design and construction of a multi-purpose sports facility, to be located on West Orleans Street, in the Industrial Business- Office Park, (adjacent to the "Marketplace" development). The project is financed with a combination of City of Stillwater general obligations bonds, contributions from foundations, businesses, individuals and other local governments. Construction costs are estimated to be $6,500,000. Construction of the project began in December 1997 and is expected to be completed by October 1,1998. The new sports facility consists of an indoor ice arena and a multi-purpose fieldhouse (domed field house similar to the Bielenberg field house located in Woodbury, Minnesota). The ice arena will contain a NHL size ice sheet, 200' x 85', seating for 700 spectators, concession facilities, and other features typically associated with an ice arena. The fieldhouse is an air-supported structure large enough to house either a full 70 yard x 95 yard soccer field or two 45 yard x 70 yard soccer fields. The field house can also accommodate an indoor golf driving range and will include a track for recreational walking or running. Therefore, the new sports facility, in addition to being fully equipped, has been designed to accommodate a variety of sports activities, including ice hockey, figure skating, free skating, soccer, softball, golf, and a walking/running track. Lily Lake Ice Arena In addition to the new facilities presently under construction, the City of Stillwater currently operates and maintains, by management agreement with a private firm, an indoor sheet of ice at the Lily Lake Ice Arena. The Lily Lake Arena is also fully equipped and has been operated and maintained as an ice arena since its construction in 1971. Although the arena is an aged facility, it can accommodate a full range of skating activities. The ice sheet is _ and the arena has seating for approximately _ spectators. The arena also contains a concession stand and locker rooms for players. SECTION II.

MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Shawn Sanders, Civil Engineer DATE: January 29, 1998 RE: Public Hearing for the 1998 Street Reconstruction Project: First Street and the Surrounding Area Project No. 9802 DISCUSSION The Public Hearing for the 1998 Street Reconstruction Project: First Street and the Surrounding Area is scheduled for February 3. I have attached a copy of the feasibility report, and the Public hearing notice sent to the residents. To date, no comments have been received from the residents regarding this project. Street widths and the assessment rates could be some of the issues residents may bring up at the Public Hearing. Streets in the project area range from 34 feet on Burlington Avenue to 40 feet on First Street. These street widths are wider than the city standard of 32 feet face to face. (Last year's project had Second Street constructed at 30 feet and the side streets constructed at 32 feet). Proposed assessment rates have increased slightly compared last year's rate. The following table compares proposed rates for a typical residential lot in the project with last year's final assessment rate: IMPROVMENT Street Sidewalk Water Service Concrete Driveway TOTAL 1998 RATE $3350 $681 $1660 $300 $5991 1997 RATE $3790 (includes sidewalk) $1500 $300 $5590 If a resident needs all of the improvements shown above, the assessment rate increases approximately seven percent over last year's rate. Residents who require a new water service have the option of using their own contractor and eliminating the water service assessment.

FROM: DATE: December 30, 1997 RE: Feasibility Report for the 1998 Street Reconstruction Project: First Street and the Surrounding Area Project No. 9802 INTRODUCTION In recent years, the City of Stillwater has continued an aggressive plan to reconstruct streets that have been determined poor in quality according to the Stillwater Pavement Management Study in 1990. First Street between Willard and Orleans and the side streets of Marsh, Burlington, Hancock and Willard between First Street and Sixth Avenue were among the lowest rated streets in this study and the streets have continued to deteriorate over the past eight years. In addition to the reconstruction of the streets the City has also looked at repairing any deficiencies in the underground utilities. DISCUSSION The streets and the utilities for this area were originally constructed back in the early 1910' s. The streets were constructed with little or no subgrade, and had a thinner pavement section. Curbs were constructed of limestone and the street widths varied in ,size from 40 feet along First Street to 32 feet along Burlington Avenue. Maintenance for these streets consisted of yearly pothole repair, and an occasional street overlay or seal coating. Sanitary sewer manholes in this neighborhood were constructed of brick. Through time these manholes have deteriorated and are in need of rehabilitation. Due to the amount of rock along First Street, the water main was installed in the same trench as the sanitary sewer. When the water main came in conflict with a manhole, the main was installed through the manhole instead of routing around the manhole. This practice is rarely allowed today and should be corrected. Many of the water services were constructed with galvanized pipe and have exceeded their service life. Galvanized pipe joints tend to pull apart and the pipe cracks, resulting in a service leak that could cost the homeowner several thousand dollars to repair. These services should be replaced with copper service at the time the street is being reconstructed. The storm sewer system was updated in the early 1970' s when the combined sewer system was separated into separate systems. Each intersection has storm sewer pickups but are in need of replacement, the curb openings to these structures have become smaller probably due to bituminous overlays. PROPOSED PROJECT AND COSTS . The area of the proposed project includes First Street between Willard and Orleans, Willard between Third Street and First Street, Marsh and Hancock between First and Sixth A venue, and Burlington between First Street and Fifth A venue. All streets in the project area would be constructed to the City standard of 32 feet wide with concrete curb and gutter. (This would mean narrowing the width on First Street from 40 feet to 32 feet.) The street section shall be four inches of bituminous on six inches of aggregate. All deteriorated sidewalks will be replaced with a new five-foot sidewalk, four inches thick. Driveway aprons will be restored at the direction of the homeowner. The homeowner will be given the option of having a bituminous driveway at no additional cost to their assessment or having a concrete driveway installed at an additional cost. Existing storm sewer inlets shall be replaced with new manhole castings and relocated to match in with the new street widths. Sanitary manholes will be rehabilitated with three inches of a concrete liner and the water main shall be rerouted around three manholes. Also, any water service that is galvanize pipe shall be replaced with a new copper service. Boulevards shall be graded to match in with the new curb and sidewalk and sodded. Total cost of the project, which includes construction, engineering, and administration, amounts to $814,200. The following summary shows the breakdown of the costs: Sewer Reconstruction Water Main Repairs Water Services Street Reconstruction Sidewalk Construction TOTAL $36,563.00 $14,000.00 $56,475.00 $563,314.00 $143.848.00 $814,200.00 . PROJECT FINANCING Back in May 1993, the City adopted an assessment policy statement. Included in that statement were guidelines for assessing property owners for the reconstruction of residential areas. The assessment policy stated that half of the project costs would be assessed to the property owners on a frontage foot basis, with the remaining portion paid for by the City. Recently, similar projects have been assessed successfully on a per unit basis, since land use is predominately the same. This method will be used to come up with an assessment amount for this project. There are 81 properties in the neighborhood that are included in this project, which includes 78 single family homes, the Nelson School Condominiums, the ISD 834 ball fields on Burlington and Sixth Avenue, and St. Michael's School on Willard Street. Figuring out the adjusted gross length of right-of-way, the street assessment per lineal feet of frontage amounts to $46.36. For this neighborhood the average size lot (without the three properties mentioned above) is 72.23 feet. Under the City's assessment guidelines the city would assess $3350 per unit for street improvement. Corner lots would . . be assessed one-half the per unit rate per side of frontage. The other three lots would be assessed on lineal frontage basis. Property owners would also be assessed for a sidewalk improvement. This rate was computed by dividing the total right-of-way length by half of the sidewalk costs. This rate amounts to $9.43 per lineal foot. By using the average lot width of 72.23 feet, residents would be assessed $681.00 per unit for sidewalk improvements. Any lots smaller than 72.23 feet would be assessed on a lineal foot of frontage basis. Homeowners would receive a credit to their assessment for any existing sidewalk that is not replaced in this project. The City has a policy to assess all costs associated with any water service improvement, this assessment would be additional to the street, sidewalk and driveway assessment. There are 34 homes in the project that have galvanized services and should be switched over to a copper service. Based on the cost for water service repair, this would amount to $1660 per home. Homeowners may have the option of selecting their own contractor to install a new copper service. Many homeowners on Second Street chose this option on last year's project. . Bituminous driveway aprons shall be installed and included in the cost of the street assessment. However, the resident may choose to have a concrete driveway apron installed, this will result in an additional $300 increase to the assessment amount. For this report it was estimated that 36 property owners would want a concrete driveway. Using the above assessment criteria, the proposed assessment rate would be as follows: IMPROVEMENT ASSESSMENT RATE Streets and Sewer Reconstruction Water Service Sidewalk Concrete Driveway $3350.00 $1660.00 $681.00 $300.00 The resulting average assessment per home including street and sidewalk would be $4031. This amount is slightly higher than the assessed for last year's Second Street Project Amount of $3790. Combined with the cost of a driveway and water service, the maximum assessment for a single family home would be $5991. The three remaining properties would be assessed per lineal foot of frontage plus a sidewalk rate. The table below shows their assessment amounts: PROPERTY STREET SIDEWALK TOTAL St. Michael's Church $14,603.00 $681.00 $15,284.00 Nelson Condominium $6,027.00 $681.00 $6,708.00 . ISD 834 $13,769.00 $681.00 $14,450.00 Assessment amounts for all properties would be over a ten-year period at 7% interest. Using these assessment rates the City will realize approximately $373,000 in assessments or approximately 45% of the total project costs. Other funding sources will include using State Aid Funding and to charge the Water Board for the maintenance of their system. Burlington Avenue from Sixth Avenue to Fifth Avenue is designated as an MSA street, so most improvements made to this segment of road shall be paid through State Aid Funding. It is estimated MSA would contribute $34,775 to fund the project. Water main repair including offsetting the main around manholes and relocating hydrants and valves is a cost directly attributable to maintenance of the water system. This amount of $11,200 should be directly charged to the Stillwater Water Board. The remaining portion or approximately $395,000 must be financed through City revenues. . The table below illustrates the funding sources and the percentage of the total costs: FUNDING SOURCE FUNDING AMOUNT PERCENT OF PROJECT Street Assessment Sidewalk Assessment Water service Assessment Driveway Aprons Water Board State Aid City Share TOTAL $255,500 $50,400 $56,475 $10,800 $11,200 $34,775 $395,000 $814,200 31.4% 6.2% 6.9% 1.3% 1.4% 4.3% 48.5% 100% . CONCLUSIONS These streets were originally constructed over 70 years ago, are among the worst in the City and are in need of repair. A reconstruction project will rebuild the streets, construct new sidewalks, repair deficiencies to the sanitary sewer manholes and the water services. Cost of these improvements is estimated at $814,200. The project is financially and technically feasible providing that all funding sources can be implemented. If this project proceeds, it would be advantageous to the City to combine this project with the Curve Crest Boulevard Street Overlay Project in order to receive better bid quotes for both projects. A report for Curve Crest Boulevard will be presented at the next meeting. RECOMMENDATION City staff recommends that Council accept the report for the 1998 Street Reconstruction Project for First Street between Willard and Orleans, Willard between Third Street and First Street, Marsh and Hancock between First and Sixth A venue, and Burlington between First Street and Fifth Avenue and order a public hearing for the 1998 Street Reconstruction Project to be held on February 3, 1998 at 7:30 p.m. ACTION REQUIRED . . . . If Council concurs with the recommendation they should pass a motion adopting Resolution No. 97-_, RESOLUTION RECEIVING REPORT AND CALLING HEARING ON 1998 STREET RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT, FIRST STREET AND THE SURROUNDING AREAS (PROJECT 9803).

The three items discussed in the memo are slopes, oak woodland and zoning requirements and design guidelines. Bluff Setbacks Major portions of both the Liberty project and Legends project is located in the Shoreland Management District. The Shoreland Ordinance adopted by the City in March 1994 was approved by DNR as consistent with their shoreland regulations. The Shoreland Ordinance contains a definition of a bluff and steep slopes and regulates development in proximity to the bluff or slope. A bluff means topographic feature such as a hill, cliff or embankment having the following characteristics (an area with an average slope of less than 18 percent over a distance for 50 feet or more shall not be considered part of the bluff): 1. Part of or all of the feature is located in the shore land area. 2. The slope rises at least 25 feet above the ordinary high water level of the waterbody. 3. The grade of the slope from the toe of the bluff to a point 25 feet or more above the ordinary high water level averages 30 percent or greater. Bluff Impact Zone Bluff impact zone means a bluff and land located within 40 feet from the top of the bluff. Building Line Building line means a line parallel to a lot line or the ordinary high water level at the required setback beyond which a structure may not extend. . . . ~ Toe of the Bluff Toe ofthe bluff means the lower point of a 50-foot segment with an average slope exceeding 18 percent. Top of the Bluff Top of the bluff means the higher point ofa 50-foot segment with an average slope exceeding 18 percent. Development Requirement: 40 feet required setback from bluff line Slope Setbacks A steep slope means land where agricultural activity or development is either not recommended or described as poorly suited due to slope steepness and the site's soil characteristics, as mapped and described in available county soil surveys or other technical reports, unless appropriate design and construction techniques and farming practices are used in accordance with the provisions of the ordinance. Where specific information is not available, steep slopes are lands having average slopes over 12 percent, as measured over horizontal distances of 50 feet or more, that are not bluffs. Development Requirement: The applicant must evaluate possible soil erosion impacts and development visibility from public waters before applying for a pennit for construction of sewage treatment systems, roads, driveways, structures or other improvements on steep slopes. When determined necessary, conditions must be attached to issued permits to prevent erosion and to preserve existing vegetation screening of structures, vehicles and other facilities as viewed from the surface of public waters, assuming summer, leaf-on vegetation. The attached map shows where bluff where identified on the site. Based in the bluff definition and the proposed subdivision design, all building envelopes meet the 40 foot bluff setback requirement. Development does occur in steeply sloped areas but conditions have been added to the recommended approval to address the location of driveways, prevent erosion, and preserve existing vegetation and screen structures. Specific lot design review is required by all lake shore lots. Oak Woodland There is approximatelY1C acres of oak woodland on the Liberty and Legends projects. The proposals combined propose removing approximately 28 % of tree canopy. The tree removal is required to accommodate utility construction (roads, sewer, water) and allow for lot development.

T .3~AL, &/Jcry In place of the tree rOOlovEil, 2,500 trees will be planted through the project. Many ofthese are required street trees and private open space landscaping. To mitigate the impact from the tree removal a condition of approval is recommended to consider narrower street widths and redesign of Stapples Place and Echo Place cul-de-sac. Both development areas are in Phase III so there is time to reconsider the proposed plans. To address the woodland preservation issue a number of conditions are recommendations for project approval as listed below: 1. The Echo Greens and Stapples Place development area shall be restudied before final PUD approval to see if a redesign can reduce the tree removal, minimize wetland impacts and reduce grading and land alteration. 2. Subdivision improvements plans shall be reviewed by a Forester to minimize impacts to trees. 3. Design review is required of alllakeshore lots to review grading, drainage, tree protection and erosion control measures. 4. The oak woodland being dedicated to the City as a park shall be reviewed by a Forester and management recommendations made and implemented before dedication to the City. 5. The lakeshore setback areas shall be protected with an open spacelconservation easement prohibiting land and vegetation disturbance. 6. The draft Forest Management Plan shall be reviewed by a Forester as it relates to the Legends property and management activities and responsibilities determined. 7. All lake shore lots and Stapples Place lots shall require design review before building permits are issued for house construction. 8. The City and developer shall implement the AUAR Mitigation Plan regarding natural area preservation (Protection of Oak Forest from Oak Wilt). 9. Private open space restrictions shall prohibit tree cutting. . . . Zoning Requirements and Design Guidelines The developers have indicated concern regarding the zoning district .regulations as it relates to garage setback: The Planning Commission considered the developers comments (Legends) and recommended the zoning as proposed. Since that meeting staff ahs met with the developer and gained agreement on the garage setback issue for the Cottage and Traditional Zoning District. Cottage Zone District For the Cottage Zone District, 25% of lots shall have garages completely recessed ( more that 20' from front of building) 25% oflots have garages setback 2' or more and for 50% garages may project a maximum of 6' in from of front wall of residence. Of that 50%, 25% shall have habitable space above the garage and 25% shall have front porches extending in front of the residence. Traditional Zone District 75% of garage setback shall be 6' or more from the front of the residence. Lakeshore Zone District Lakeshore zoning regulations would remain as proposed. (garage location maybe modified to protect trees). See attached design guidelines. Conclusion The Council has before you the zoning regulations and concept PUD and Subdivision plan. Before final adoption the plan will come back to Council for the second reading and final PUD and Subdivision approval.

Minnesota 55344 612/937-5150 MEMORANDUM DATE: January 28, 1998 TO: Dwight Jelle, Westwood Professional Services, Inc. FROM: Kathryn Fernholz, Westwood Professional Services, Inc. RE: Evaluation of Woodlands on Newman and Staloch Property in Stillwater, Minnesota This memo responds to your request for information regarding the composition and condit ton of the woodland resources on the Newman and Staloch Properties in the City of Stillwater, Washington County, Minnesota. Several observations were made on the site regarding the general condition of these forests. The forest appears to have a history as oak savanna or pasture, which has since developed a more dense canopy as disturbance (natural fires) have been eliminated from the system. Although the: forest is severely degraded by buckthorn invasion and an associated reduction in native vegetation and tree: regeneration, the forest continues to playa valuable role in protecting the water quality of the wetlands on site and adjacent Long Lake. A site visit was conducted on January 28, 1998 to evaluate the woodlands. Prior to visiting the site, a tree survey of the areas proposed to be impacted had been completed by Westwood Professional Services, Inc. on behalf of the Pemtom Land Company for the Staloch Property. A tree survey was also completed for the northern half of the area which corresponds to the CPDC (Newman) property. Both tree surveysrecorded the species and dbh (diameter at breast height) for all significant trees in the project areas. A published map of the results of the County Biological shows the woodland in this area classified by the DNR Natural Heritage Program as "Oak Forest" (U of"MN Press, prepared by Minnesota DNR, 1990). The Oak Forest Element Occurrence Guidelines from the Minnesota Natural Heritage Program describe a forest of this type as having a canopy mainly consisting of oaks, aspen, paper birch, and/or red maple. Oaks generally comprise> 30% of the composition and the canopy is closed or nearly closed (> 70% total cover). To have an "An rank the forest should show little or no human-induced disturbance and shrub and ground layer species should be native, non-invasive types. At the lower end of the scale, "D" ,.ranked Oak Forests show severe human disturbance from harvesting or grazing and may have exotics species or those associated with invading after grazing dominating the shrub layer. Site observations ofthisproperty give a preliminary indication that this forest may fall under a "Cn or "D" ranking due to the abundance ofbuckthom and indications of prior human-induced disturbance (grazing). The Stillwater Open Space Report prepared by Kathryn Malady in August, 1995 made several observations regarding the area she referred to as Long Lake West, which corresponds in part to this property. Malody identified four plant community types along the western shore of Long Lake. These communities include "cattail emergent marsh, hardwood swamp, mature oak woods with pot-hole ponds, and degenerated oak savarma." Malody also described the Staloch property in her report, stating that it is a mixed woods composed of pin oak, white oak, red maple, and an occasionalpin cherry. Malodyobserved good oak regeneration in this area. She found occasional elderberry, buckthorn, gray dogwood, and hazelnut in the 01/29/98 09:59 FAX 9375822 Westwood Prof. Services 14J 003 Memorandum. Newman & Staloch Property Woodland Evaluation January 28. 1998 Page 2 understory. She was also able to observe herbaceous cover, including interrupted fern and lady fern as well as jack-in-the-pulpit, starflower, and Canada mayflower. The report records the presence of a degraded oak savanna located adjacent to the western edge of the Staloch property. The trees in this area regenerated in open grown conditions, which accounts for their large, low branches and spreading form. The understory in this area is nearly 100% invading buckthorn which has essentially eliminated viable oak regeneration in this area for perhaps the past 20 years. Additional impacts to this area are associated with soil erosion along cultivated slopes. The transcriptions of Malody' s notes indicate that she also observed boxelder along the lakeshore, erosion occurring from cultivated fields on the uplands, and a component ofbuckthom in the understory throughout the forested area. . Observations at the project site on January 28, 1998 showed that, except for isolated pockets of aspen and birch associated mainly with shorelines or wetlands, the dominant overstory trees were oaks. In the understory, the dominant sluub component was common buckthorn. The only other shrub that was observed in any quantity was common elder (elderbeny). In the western portions of the site, the buckthorn was over ten feet tall, but heights generally decrease toward the lake and the eastern parts of the site where most of the buckthorn was less than three feet tall. There was no area observed to be free ofbuckthom in the understory; it is even abundant on the island. The herb and moss layers and soil conditions were not observed due to the I to 2 feet of snow cover. Canopy density and composition varied across the site and appeared to be influenced greatest by the varying topography and associated moisture regimes. In areas of wetlands, box-elder, aspen, paper birch, green ash, and red maple were common. Along the shores of Long Lake, paper birch and aspen were mixed with boxelder and white and red oak. The stocking of the site is about 70 trees/acre. The average dbh is estimated at 14 inches for dominants and the average height is approximately 45 feet. There were scattered linear plantings of red pine concentrated in the northern half of the woods and along the western edges of . both properties. Other species such as larch, white cedar, and spruce occurred in association with field edges and plantings. Big-toothed aspen occurred on the peninsula. Some evidence of disease was found in two areas ofthe site. The first occurrence was within a field rowan the western edge, where there is a dead S-inch oak with loose bark, insect exit holes, and fungi mycelia on the base of the truck. The second observationwas in the eastern part ofthe site, near Long Lake and between two wetland basins. There is a 8 inch oak snag, lacking bark, showing stained bark and insect exit holes. The three oaks located closest to the snag (within 30 feet) exhibit dieback of some large upper branches. Human disturbance on the site was indicated by stumps located in the eastern part oithe woods, which indicate cutting witbin the last twenty years. These activities appear to have resulted in releasing oak and some maple regeneration. This area appears to have maintained a dense canopy, perhaps as a result of this management, and exhibits the least amount of buckthorn f01md in any area of the site. The buckthorn in this area still covers about 70% of the ground, but it is mainly Jess than three feet tall as compared to ten feet tall in more western portions of the woods. Other human activities and past grazing in the forest car. be surmised by the presence of barbed wire fencing along the shores of Long Lake. The trees supporting this fence line have grown around the wire to depths between three and five inches. These fence line trees are mainly large oaks with low heavy branches. The presence of this fence and the growth form of these trees indicates that this area was likely grazed at some point in its history. Good oak regeneration is occurring on the site along the edges of the woodland, the slopes of steep basins, and tbe shoreline of Long Lake. Most of the oak regeneration is between two and four inches in diameter and appears to be mainly red oak, although the majority of dombant oaks in the canopy appear to be white . ",.

Tree regeneration of any species is u.'11ikely to progress beyond seedling stages in the forest understory due to the competition of common buckthorn. Project plans appear to propose minimal impacts to woodland resources with retention of many of the trees surrounding wetlands and along Long Lake. I would recommend concentrating forest preservation efforts on the Nev,rrnan and Staloch properties in areas surrounding wetlands and along Long Lake. A continuous riparian corridor should be maintained in backyards and parks along the lake to filter and catch nutrient<; in run off, sta.biJize shorelines, and facilitate wildlife movement. Maintaining the forest in these areas will effectively be maintaining the areas of the forest currently displaying the most desirable qualities. These areas have the least amount ofbuckthom and more dense canopies with younger more vigorous trees, Younger and more vigorously growing trees are most likely to withstand constmctiol'l. disturbance and are best able to stabilize soils and utilize excess nutrients because of their actively growing root systems. Lastly, it is recommended that precautions be emphasized during construction to avoid damaging the trees. Exposing or wounding oaks during Mayor June win greatly increase the spread of oak wilt through this area a.T1d could negate any tree conservation efforts. Construction plans should be reviewed by a forester and site visits should be made to confirm that precautions are u.1.dertaken. '",' Westwood Professional Services, Inc. (612)937-5150 . . .

Present: Chairman Jerry Fontaine Glenna Bealka, Russ Hultman, John Rheinberger (7:45), Don Valsvik, Darwin Wald, and Terry Zoller Absent: Kirk Roetman and Tom Weidner Mr. Fontaine called the meeting to order at 7:05 p.m. Mr. Russell opened the meeting by providing an overview of the Liberty on the Lake and The Legends of Stillwater projects. He noted there are several issues yet to be resolved: Washington County's position regarding access' to the school and commercial center and documentation of DNR open space requirements, among others. Glen V an Wormer of SEH highlighted traffic issues, noting that most of the issues had been discussed numerous times. He described access to the projects from the county road system, traffic circulation through the site, and width of streets. He said 62nd Street would not be a through street; it will be closed by a cui de sac at a yet to be determined location. He also said the intent is to discourage the use of nnd Street for through traffic; a decision on whether to terminate the street will be made when the adjacent properties are developed, he said. . Joe Lux of Washington County Public Works said the county approves of the proposed access points off Manning Avenue. However, he said, the access off County Road 12 nearest the 15/12 intersection remains an issue and will require action by the Washington County Board of Commissioners. Dan Herbst, Pemton developers, highlighted several features of The Legends project. He briefly addressed the issue of docks. He said he felt strongly that allowing one dock per two lakeshore lots was a better alternative and less obtrusive than providing one large, joint dock. He also spoke in favor of allowing the use of cui de sac islands. Homer Tompkins of CPDC and Marc Putnam of Charles Cudd Co. highlighted features/issues regarding the Liberty on the Lake development. They were in agreement with Mr. Herbst regarding the dock and cui de sac issues. They touched on the issue of tree removal, stating that the location of every tree had been studied. Tree removal would be done as carefully as possible; developers would be replacing three times the canopy removed and homeowners also would be required to do certain plantings. Mr. Putnam noted a concern regarding Washington County's position regarding the County Road 12 access and its impact on businesses in the village commercial district. Mr. Zoller asked if the projects meet the city's park dedication requirements and ifthey had been approved by the Park and Recreation Board. Mr. Russell said the projects meet the city requirements for both parks and trail dedication; both projects were reviewed and approved by . the Park and Rec Board. . Mr. Russell said the oak woodland issue is not a new one. It was addressed in the AUAR and mitigation pIan developed for the annexation area, an open space survey and the city's Comprehensive Plan. Meg McMonigal, Stillwater Township planner, summarized comments Stillwater Township submitted regarding the woodlands. The township's position is that the city should take a second look at preserving the oak woodlands. Greg Kopitschke of Westwood Professional Services said the intent is to replace lost trees in multiples. Best management practices will be used during construction in order to protect trees. A well-managed forest is a benefit to the developers, too, he stated. David Francis, Stillwater Township supervisor, asked about cuI de sac I and whether 240 trees would be lost due to construction of the cuI de sac in the proposed location. He called upon the city to minimize the 10ss of the natural resource and to identify exact numbers before clearing any trees. Mr. Tompkins said developers would attempt to have a more detailed survey of the trees completed prior to the Jan. 28 meeting ofthe Joint Planning Board. Mr. Fontaine opened the meeting to public comment. . Laurie Maher, 3018 Marine Circle, asked why the removal of trees was being allowed to happen given the city's Comprehensive Plan, Forest Protection Ordinance and the AUAR. She questioned whether bluffline setback requirements were being met. She asked whether the trails would be paved or of a natural material, preferring the passivelnatural trails. And she spoke in favor of minimizing the number of docks. Paula Kroening, 72nd Street, noted she grew up on the property that makes up the Liberty on the Lake development. She suggested a "distorted picture" of the woodlands is being presented. In reality, she said, some of the trees are diseased and should be removed in order to protect the healthy specimens. John Baer, 812 Sixth Ave. S., asked if bluffline contours had been prepared and whether there would be any independent verification of slope calculations. He also noted that the city's open space survey indicated residents were in favor of supporting open space preservation with their "pocketbooks. " Don McKenzie, 12620 72nd St. N., spoke of a safety concern if 72nd Street remains open; he called for the closure of the street from Mid Oaks to the first driveway to the north. Mr. Van Wormer reiterated the 72nd Street issue needs to be done in conjunction with the future development of adjacent properties. Through traffic has been eliminated, he said. . Dean Hansen, no address given, an entomologist, urged the city to preserve the oak savannah. He said that removal of trees involves the whole ecosystem and will destroy the "forest." Sherrie Buss of Bonestroo, Rosene and Anderlik, who worked on the AUAR and mitigation . plan, said there are three mechanisms for protecting the woodland: woodland protection regulations which the state of Minnesota does not have; the city's Forest Protection Ordinance; and outright purchase of the land. Buss said if the city enforced its Forest Protection Ordinance, it would meet the spirit of the AUAR. The AUAR also recommends voluntary protection measures by the landowners. She noted that a study of the area showed the woodlands to be of variable quality, with the presence of some exotic, invasive species. Mr. Wald asked how many of the trees were diseased. Robert Kroening said quite a few of the trees along the north side of the woodlands are diseased; he also noted the woodlands consists primarily of red oaks which have a tendency to become hollow without pruning and proper maintenance. David Johnson, Stillwater Township Supervisor, asked for a clarification of plans for 62nd Street. He said there was a commitment in the orderly annexation agreement that the street would be terminated before development occurs. Mr. V an Wormer said the plans are to eliminate through traffic with the placement of a cui de sac at the end of Long Lake; it is up to the city to decide on the timetable for construction, he said. Mr. Fontaine closed the public hearing. Mr. Russell reviewed the zoning districts and ordinance text amendments. He pointed out that the design guidelines are guidelines, not requirements, that developers are being asked to use in preparing final design for approval. . Mr. Herbst objected to language in the proposed zoning text which states front facing garages "shall be" setback at least six feet from the front wall or porch line of the house. Imposing such a requirement on every home takes away creativity, limits choices for consumers and drives up the cost of construction, he stated. Mr. Kopischke expressed a concern regarding the rear yard setback in the lakeshore residential district as being 85 feet from the ordinary high water (OHW) mark. He said developers had been planning based on the DNR standard of 75 feet from the OHW. He also stated a frontage requirements of at least 30 feet in all of the zoning districts will require additional infrastructure. Mr. Putnam reiterated the concern about requiring the garage setback for all homes, rather than having that as a guidelines. He also expressed concern about the 85 versus 75 foot setback from the OHW, and the minimum lot depth of 170 feet in the lakeshore residential district. He also questioned the maximum height of 28 feet in the cottage residential district. Mr. Tompkins spoke against regulations that become so restrictive as to affect the marketability of the property. He asked for time to develop guidelines to present to builders. Charles Cudd stated that the developers need more flexibility than the proposed ordinances provide. Roger Tomten of Tomten Environmental Design briefly addressed the garage issue. Mr. Zoller noted the Planning Commission "bought into" the neo-traditional design and made concessions . . to developers on a number of issues - lot size, street widths, etc. The zoning ordinances provide some protection that the developers follow through on their initial proposals, Mr. Zoller said. Mr. Russell agreed that the city needs some guarantees that it will get the type of development it wants. Mr. Valsvik said developers were asking for a little more time in order to protect the marketability of the property, and called for some "give and take" on the concerns raised. Mr. Tompkins noted that both the Liberty on the Lake and The Legends developments are phased projects and suggested that the city does have some leverage if the developers haven't demonstrated good faith in the first phase ofthe projects. Len and Becky Feely, 1347 McKusick Lane RoadN., spoke on behalf of the developers, as did Steve Keister of Keister & Keister Insurance, Stillwater. . It was the consensus of members to move forward with the understanding that staff and the developers meet in an effort to address the concerns raised. Mr. Valsvik, seconded by Mr. Rheinberger, moved approval of a resolution to adopt ZAT/98-1 Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment establishing development regulations for a new Lakeshore Residential District, ZAT/98-2 Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment establishing development regulations for a new Traditional Residential District, ZATI 98-3 Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment establishing development regulations for a new Cottage Residential District, and ZAT/98-4 Zoning Text Amendment establishing development regulations for a new Townhouse Residential District. Motion was made with the understanding that staff and developers meet to address the issues raised in the discussion. Roll call vote taken: Mr. Rheinberger, yes; Mr. Zoller, yes; Mrs. Bealka, yes; Chairman Fontaine, yes; Mr. Hultman, yes; Mr. Valsvik, yes; Mr. Wald, yes. Mr. Rheinberger, seconded by Mr. Wald, moved approval of a resolution adopting ZAM/98-1 Zoning Ordinance Map amendment rezoning lands on the west side of Long Lake, Lakeshore Residential District from Agricultural Preservation, ZAM/98-2 Zoning Map Amendment rezoning lands Traditional Residential District from Agricultural Preservation, ZAM/98-3 Zoning Map Amendment rezoning lands Cottage Residential District from Agricultural Preservation, ZAM/98-4 Zoning Map Amendment rezoning lands Townhouse Residential District from Agricultural Preservation, and ZAM/98-5 Zoning Map Amendment rezoning lands Village Commercial from Agricultural Preservation. Roll call vote taken: Mr. Rheinberger, yes; Mr. Zoller, yes; Mrs. Bealka, yes; Chairman Fontaine, yes; Mr. Hultman, yes; Mr. Valsvik, yes; Mr. Wald, yes. Mr. Valsvik, seconded by Mr. Wald, moved approval of Resolution 98-1 approving planned unit development and preliminary plat for Legends of Stillwater, Cases PUD/97-69 and SUB/97-68 and Resolution 98-2 approving planned unit development and preliminary plat for Liberty on the Lake, Cases PUD/97-70 and SUB/97-71. In the discussion, Mr. Valsvik called for a survey regarding the quality of the woodlands on the two properties. Roll call vote taken: Mr. Rheinberger, yes; Mr. Zoller, yes; Mrs. Bealka, yes; Chairman Fontaine, yes; Mr. Hultman, yes; . Mr. Valsvik, yes; Mr. Wald, yes. Mr. Zoller suggested going record favoring the alternative of allowing one dock per every two . lots; he made that in the form of a motion. Mr. Hultman seconded the motion; motion carried unanimously. Mr. Herbst said the developers will establish guidelines for the docks, including size, building materials, etc. Mr. Wald moved to adjourn at 11:30 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Sharon Baker Recording Secretary . . 04-19-1900 08:25PM FROM 813 793 6473 TO 15124308809 P.01 l:t_ ... -, :::--r i Februaxy Z. 1993 -'~ ,.~~,:-:f' , , Honorable Mayor and Men1~ of the Stillwater City Council City of Stillwater Z16 N. 4th St. Stillwater, MN 55082 ",BY FAX. 612-430-8809 Dear Mayor and Member$ of the Council: We have owned and farmed our land for over 31 years.

Dear Mayer of Stillwater and City Council members, I extend to you congratulations and appreciation for the near completion of two of the city's most recent improvement's, the city's annexation and the new Rutherford School. The school, I believe, will be the envy and model of education State -wide. It is a beautiful facility as well as being on the cutting edge in teaching advancements. My children have had the privilege to have Bernie Andersen as their principal since kindergarten and I believe in the concept of the new school and it's highly awarded Prinicipal. As for the annexation, I, like many others see it as a very positive addition for the local economy. From building material suppliers to local bankers, from those in the building trade to local merchants, this will have immediate as well as long-term economic benefits for the community. I have followed the annexation process and I appreciate all the time, energy and thought that has gone into the many environmental studies on the impact of developing this area. I have seen some of the plans for developing the area, and I think they show imagination and diversity not found in many new developments in the surrounding communities. Speaking as one who was raised in Stillwater and now raise my own children here, I have a deep appreciation for the beauty of our city, with it's beautiful, unique old houses and tree lined streets. . So many new developments are aesthetically boring, ( with houses consisting of one or two styles and all the same basic size and color), as well as being environmentally lifeless. I like the idea of eclectic neighborhoods with a wide range of homestyles, lots of varying size and character ( lakeshore, lake view, wooded, smaller less maintenance J, and price range reflecting these options. Old Stillwater is a perfect example of this and I think it is part of the charm appeal of Stillwater. I feel it is time to move forward with existing plans and allow people to move forward with plans for building their dream in Stillwater. If even a portion of the proposed lots are eliminated from the projects it will eliminate some potential homeowners from building in these areas either due to increased cost or removal of wooded lots. The People buying wooded lots are not buying them to cut them down, but because they appreciate the privacy and nature they offer. Sincerely, J.u1Cl 5*,&)d d- . . February 6,1998 City of Stillwater 4th Street North Stillwater, MN 55082 RE: Annexation Dear City of Stillwater Council members, First of all we would like to say we feel Stillwater is moving forward in positive directions direction towards improvement and growth. We all appreciate the time and energy that have gone into the project so far. We all realize the annexation is a difficult, lengthy process, but we need the expansion to increase our customer base and sustain our businesses. From the beginning, we have been promised the additional residential neighborhoods, but all we have seen is the delays. We understand the care and time that has been taken to insure an environmentally sound position with no residual problems in the future, but we feel now is the time to move forward, and by working together make the community a . better place. Concerned Merchants, i~/~ U~ ~~tt-~,-,,\ t20'G4 d~) I, . . Mayor Jay Kimble 216 N. 4th Street Stillwater, MN. 55082 February I, 1998 Dear Mayor Kimble; Thank you for your efforts to save one of the last remaining stands of 100 year old oak forests in Washington County. I am referring to the 40+ acre woodland on the west side of long lake. We have had the pleasure of enjoying this natural oasis for over ten years. I imagine few of those making the decisions to destroy this natural treasure have even taken the time to walk it. Deer, raccoon, red wing black birds, beaver, pileated woodpeckers are just a few of the inhabitants of the forest and surrounding lake. Ferns and wildflowers dot the forest floor and it is certainly something to save. I am saddened to think that a natural treasure that has survived for over 200 years will be destroyed during our guard. Many similar treasures that have not survived in other communities have been sorely missed. With the destruction of so many of nature's gems, I urge you to save this forest. I know that I would support raising taxes to save this land from development. Stillwater could certainly use a park that was more than barren grass and a few swing sets. I would volunteer to help start a group to purchase this land from the developer. Please contact me if I can be of assistance. . Sincerely, ,~0 (" ,-~,~~~~~ '~:t & Bobbie En~e 2916 Marine Circle Stillwater, MN. 55082 Phone (612)430-1921 . . . . Mayor Kimble and City Council City of Stillwater February 3, 1998 Via fax Gentlemen, I urge you to consider the loss of the Historic Long Lake Forest before passing on the development plans. Woodbury, Lake Elmo, and Marine have already moved to preserve historic open space. We should, too! Maybe it is time to set aside our lumberjack heritage Preserving more than currently planned is the right thing to do for future generations. Last year several of us met V\o1th the developers and landowners to ask that they. consider the forest in their plans. I feel that Dan Herbst has shown good faith in dedicating a portion as park. However, the Cudd team makes no pretense about preserving any portion and intends to build on every available acre. Some maintain that the woods are of marginal quality. However, the DNR has confmned tpat they are equal to most others in the metro area, and can prosper if better managed. It is desirable to preselVe all of the forest, but very difficult to do so this far into development planning. Therefore I propose the following alternative to the current plans: . Require that the Cudd development remove the cut-de-sac and homes from the SE corner of the property line with Staloch. Have Cudd dedicate as park a pie shaped wedge of 3-4 acres that is contiguous with the portion being oreserved bv Dan. The additional acres would allow preservation of approximately 10010 of the current forest. . Manage the resultant park as a natural site with walking paths and minimal disturbance. Do not let it become a haven for dirt bikes, forts, and encroachment. The developers have a role to play in setting the expectations of prospective buyers and their children. . Require that the new development, maintain a "natural. unmowed" zone from the Lakeshore to 100 feet back. This should be done through a permanent easement rather than covenants. Covenants are meaningless contracts because only the parties to the covenant can enforce them; they can be changed/dissolved by a majority vote of the parties; and by Minnesota law, they can last no longer than 30 years. . Require that the path aloni the shore should be for walking only. and never be paved. Once paved, it will open the way to wheeled traffic that requires wider paths for safety, potential vandalism, and 24-hour use. Remember this path runs through people's yards. If service vehicle access is needed then put in crushed rock. Eventually, the City can build a similar walking system on the 50+ acres that Orin Thonlpson dedicated as park. . Consider now how the Gadient portion of the historic woods can be preserved, rather than waiting until developers are involved and the project is far along. Please consider these suggestions. Your votes will determine whether an irreplaceable piece of history remains for future generations, .... ~~IY, ~~ Lee Miller QIMPORTANTMESSAGE ) FOR~.."J k:uw.k-& ~.

ALLEN MEMORANDUM TO: Steve Russell, Stillwater City Community Development Director David T. Magnuson, Stillwater City Attorney ~ y/ February 3, 1998 FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: Applicability of City Bluffland, Shoreland and Slope Ordinances You've asked for clarification with regard to the differing standards found in the Shoreland, Bluffland and Slope Ordinances of the City and which of the standards control establishing a new standard for the new zoning districts in the expansion area. As you know, the Orderly Annexation Agreement provides that "before any official control (such as a zoning ordinance) takes effect in the expansion area, it must be certified for adoption by the City/Town Joint Planning Board." This means that unless approved by the Joint Board, no official controls are in effect for the expansion area. Currently the only zoning standard that has been approved by the Joint Board is the Agricultural Zoning District that all of the land was put into once it became part of the City. Accordingly, the City is free to develop any reasonable new standard for the expansion area if it can gain approval of the Joint Planning Board. With regard to the current City ordinances, the Bluffland Ordinance pertains to the St. Croix River and the shore land and bluffland adjacent with the river. This Ordinance is consistent with both Minnesota DNR and Wild Rivers rules and applies only in the Riverway District. The Shoreland Ordinance was intended to apply to any area defined as shore land within the City and in my view, are the standards that should be applied when developing new zoning ordinances in the expanSIOn area. The 1997 Ordinance with regard to steeply sloped areas was adopted specifically for the ravines of the City since no other standards were in place because the ravines were not "shorelands" nor were they "blufflands" within the meaning of our ordinance. The steeply sloped ordinance would have no current effect in the expansion area, first of all, because it was intended to apply to the ravines of the City but, more importantly, it has not been certified as an official control that is in effect in the expansion area.

Magnuson, Stillwater City Attorney ~ DATE: February 3, 1998 SUBJECT: Opinion on Possible ConflictofInterest Tonight the City Council is being asked to vote on the rezoning of property within the Orderly Annexation Area. Approximately one-half (~) of the property effected is owned by CPDC, a Minnesota corporation, who purchased the property from Robert and Paul Kroening. One of the potential builders that will be buying lots from CPDC is Charles Cudd and Company and it has been revealed that Councilman Cummings' wife, Ann, has from time to time worked for Charles Cudd part-time as a hostess on open houses, especially during the Parade of Homes. A citizen has asked whether this interest disqualifies Councilman Cummings from voting on the rezoning. With regard to zoning matters, the leading case in Minnesota is entitled Lenz v. Coon Creek Watershed District, 278 Minn. 1, 153 NW2d 209 (1967), The Court held that the interest must be a direct interest in the outcome and that the factors that must be examined to determine whether the interest is disqualifying is 1) the nature of the decision; 2) the nature of the pecuniary interest; 3) the number of officials taking part in the decision; 4) the need to have interested persons make a decision; and 5) the opportunity for review. In the Lenz case, the Court applied to the test to whether owners of land who would be benefitted from an improvement due to an increase in market value would be disqualified from voting on the Watershed District improvement. The Court held that the interest of these watershed managers was not significantly direct to disqualify them. With regard to the present issue, Charles Cudd and Company is not an owner of the land in question but is rather, a potential builder who is expected to buy lots from CPDC within the newly rezoned area. Further, it is not Councilman Cummings who shares a financial relationship with Charles Cudd and Company, it is his wife. Her interest does not appear significantly direct to disqualify Councilman Cummings from voting on the rezoning. It is my opinion that he may participate in the zoning decision. DTMlds . . . . . .

TELECOPIER: (612) 439-5641 DAVID T. MAGNUSON RICHARD D. ALLEN MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor, City Council and Staff FROM: David T. Magnuson, Stillwater City Attorney DATE: January 30, 1998 SUBJECT: Prohibition of Development in Woodland State law allows cities to require "a reasonable portion" of a subdivision for public streets, utilities, storm water drainage and holding ponds. In addition, a city can require either a "reasonable portion of the subdivision or the cash equivalent for parks, trails wetlands or open space" . Land owners have increasingly challenged city land use regulations on the basis that the city's actions constitutes a "taking" oftheir property. This is based on a constitutional prohibition against the government taking property without just compensation. In the Land Use context it is called a "regulatory taking" because the government is not physically taking the property for its own use. The Unites States Supreme Court has issued a number of opinions in recent years which have attempted to define when a "taking" occurs. First of all, the regulation must be reasonably necessary to accomplish a legitimate State purpose and secondly, there must be an essential nexus or connection between the condition imposed by the government and the burden which the development would cause. Even if there is a legitimate public purpose, such as protecting woodlands in a leaf canopy, if the regulation denies the owner all economically beneficial or productive use of the land, there is a taking. If there has been a taking, the govemment has to pay for damages incurred by the landowner during the time that the unconstitutional regulation was in effect. Mayor, City Council and Staff Page 2 January 30, 1998 . Our Park and Trail Policy requires the dedication often percent (10%) of the gross area of the property being subdivided or cash in lieu of land dedication and this flat ten percent (10%) requirement has been sustained by the Minnesota Supreme Court provided that the landowners are entitled to challenge the percentage requirement on a case by case basis. To require either the dedication of forest beyond the ten percent (10%) requirement or the set aside of this area by easement that exceeds the percentage permitted by our Ordinance would be on very touchy ground. The other factor, with regard to this development, is that when examining the validity of an exaction requirement such as a dedication requirement, the government must prove a "rough proportionality" that the "required dedication is related both in nature and extent to the impact of the proposed development". The argument in this case is not that the woods are needed for the residences of the new subdivision but, on the other hand, that the woods should be dedicated for . the benefit of the community as an Oak Savannah remnant of historical significance.

J MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Council FR: Steve Russell, Community Development Director DA: January 30, 1998 RE: RESULTS FROM JANUARY 26TH PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING AND JANUARY 28TH JOINT BOARD MEETING REGARDING EXPANSION AREA PLAN REVIEW Background You have in your packets staff reports on zoning amendments, planned unit development applications and preliminary plats for the Liberty on the Lake and the Legends projects. The Planning Commission and Joint Board both held public hearings last week to consider the requests. Below is a brief summary of the meetings and actions taken. Planning Commission The Planning Commission received the project presentation from the developers and staff. Public comments expressed concern for the projects impacts on the 45 acre oak woodland and shore and slope setback. The developers expressed concerns regarding the proposed zoning setback requirements particularly the off set between garage and house setback. This public hearing culminated two years of plan development review by the Commission. The Commission recommended the zoning ordinances for approval. They felt that the front yard setback issues needed further discussion and consideration but felt that could occur between Council's first reading and second reading approval of the zoning ordinance. The Commission passed resolutions approving the PUDs and subdivisions with conditions of approval (resolutions attached) and recommended the zoning ordinance amendments for Council adoption. Joint Board The Joint Board met Wednesday, January 28th and held a public hearing on the zoning amendments, planned unit development and preliminary plat applications. The Board was presented the project by staff and the developers and heard public comment. Most public comment expressed concern for the development impact on the oak woodland. Other comments expressed concerned for the 85 foot lake setback, increased traffic on 62nd Street North, setbacks from slopes. Comments from the Township Planners were presented regarding preservation of woodland (attached). After hearing the public comments and discussing the project with the developers, staff and the public, the Joint Board continued the items until after the Council meeting of February 3, 1998 (the orderly annexation agreement requires that the Joint Board certify the project). The Joint 1 !' Board will convene after the Stillwater City Council meeting to consider the Council action and possibly certify the project. . Additional Information Staffhas met with the developers since the Commission and Joint Board public hearings. The developers hired a forester to more specifically evaluate the oak woodland. The results will be presented at meeting time. A detailed slope survey was conducted to make sure subdivision lots met setback requirements. The Echo Green area in the Liberty Project was reviewed to see if a different design could have less impact on trees, the wetlands and fit better with the topography. Based on the study the following additional conditions are recommended for Liberty and Legends Project approval. Liberty 1. Alllot building envelopes shall meet slope setback requirements before final plat approval. 2. The Echo Greens development area shall be restudied. before final PUD approval to see if a residence can reduce tree removal, minimize wetland impacts and reduce grading and land alterations. 3. Final landscape plans shall be submitted as a part of final PUD approval showing private landscaping in additional to street trees. 4. The subdivision improvement plans road, sidewalk and utilities shall be reviewed by a forester to minimize impacts.to trees. . 5. Street and access issues raised in Glen Van Wormer's letter of 1-27-98 shall be addressed before final plat approval. 6. Before Phase II PUD and subdivision approval, the Phase I project design shall be reviewed to see if the design guidelines desired effect is achieved or design modifications are needed. Legends 1. Final1andscape plans shall be submitted before final PUD approval showing private landscaping in addition to subdivision required street trees. 2.

Stillwater Township Comments on Annexation Area Developments Liberty on the Lake and The Legends of Stillwater Review Qf Annexation AreaDeve[ormtent PlIms - Under the Orderly Annexation Agreement between the City of Stillwater and Stillwater Township, the Joint Board v.-ill ~eview and comment on the consistency of any development application witl the City's Comprehensive Plan and Orderly Annexation Agreement." Stillwater Township provides comments via the Joint Board process. ~l (omments The development area contains a significant, and mature oak forest along Long Lake. There are many very large oaks that are in the area to be developed. The trees range in size from 13" to 26". It would be a very long time before replanted trees would teach that size and proportion. A much closer look needs to be taken to see how these trees can preserved, as they comprise a major natural resource on the site. All of the forest resource and its associated qualities may be diminished greatly if special care is not taken to nrotect the woodland. . Stillwater Township strongly recoro,\nends that the City consider eliminating some of the housing lots in the most heavily wooded areas. The area that could better be preserved is the southeastern portion of .iberty and the cul-de-sac shov.-'n as "Street 1" in the Legends. . In addition, wooded area and lots can be untouched during major grading, and individually graded for homes following a forester's review. Home.s located in woodland areas should be designed individua1ly~ to fit into the forest and remove as few trees as possible. A Forester ca."! review sites \lrith de....elopers to detetmine how to build and remove as few trees as possible. L.wmb. Approximately 240 significant trees (13" or larger) are located in the area where cut-dc-sac ''Street f' and six (6) single furnily housing lots are proposed. By eliminating this street and only six (6) lots, a large number of trees vvill be preserved. "While all of the 240 trees may not need to be removed for six (6) hoxr.es and a Gul-de-sac street, removing some of them will be damaging to others and fragment the forest. The lots could potentially be clustered in another area of the development in order to preserve more trees. Although the tree preservation plan indicates some areas to be preserved, it is vague and does not note how many and which trees \\111 be removed. It also does not state wha1 protection measures \\'ill be used to ensure any remaining trees will have an opportunity for survival. LiJgrty. A tree survey was not included in the plans. If one was not completed, the City should require that the eize and number of trees proposed to be removed be documented by a tree su."'Vey. A review of the t .. ...

TO: Steve Russell Community Development Director City of Stillwater PROM: Glen Van Wormer DATE: January 27. 1998 RE: Stillwater. Minnesota Annexation Areas Legeo.ds and Liberty Developments SEH No. A.STILL9802.QO The Planning Commission meeting on January 26 began to culminate a number of transportation issues which have been ~lated to the annexation area. Some have been studied relative to the COIDpnlbensive Plan, annexation studies and spOclfiedevelopments. Some go back even funher. . However. there are a number of issues which should be resolved in more detail as the two developmentS proceed through the approval process and into the building stages. We should begin to pull these loose ends together in some type of a schedllle and approval mode so that they don't get overlooked or we end up not resolving something as well as possible. The following is a list of those items which we are aware of and some comments on each. 62nd Street With each development in the southwest corner of Stillwater. the 62nd Street residents expressed concem over through traffic. They experienced a vel}' high volume of traffic during the County . Road 5 bridge reconstruction at Highway 36. The concepts that have been put forth for a number of years include a cul-de-sac and frontage road development. The frontage road will Connect . Curvecrest Boulevard and County Road 5, loop along County Road 5 and Highway 36 and finally connect to existing 62nd Street just east of Manning Avenue. The existing 62nd Street can be disconnected on either the east end or the west end with a cul-de-sac. Past studies and discussions between the Township and residents led to the west end as being the most preferred. To make the connection now would require development of a cuI-dc-sac on the west end and <l connection to either the frontage road or a temporary continuation of the ex.isting connection to County Road 5. An option still remains to cul-de-sac the east end and retain the connection to the west. . . . . 01/30/98 FRI 14:47 FAX 612 490 2150 ~003 SEH o. Steve Russell January 27,1998 Page 2 The development of the Legends subdivision wi11 require some attention be paid to 62nd Street or they will develop traffic on it. The development of the Bradshaw property and the connection of the frontage road to Curvecrest Boulevard will also impact the timing of the 62nd Street changes. We should look at scheduling some type of a ~eeting with the 62nd Street residents to permanently approve some concept. We then need to work a schedule so that traffic problems are not allowed to develop. 72nd Street The traffic concerns for 72nd Street go back many years. It is a gravel road which allegedly is not even platted or on public property. Traffic problems exist with the hill on Interlachen Boulevard to the east and with the narrow curving alignment along the north side of the lake. There are a number of concerns and considerations. The Liberty development has preempted 72nd as any type of a through street, which is good. Major utiluation is the connection between the Legends and Croixdale neighborhoods and betwe~ the Rutherford School and the Croixwood neighborhood. Mr. MeKe~e has requested vacation of the street while others have indicated desirability of keeping it as a connection. The'DNR has some concerns over the impact of the road on the natural flow of drainage and this needs to be considered. The utilization of it as a road has advantages as it does connect neighborhoods and the schools. Removal9fit will force traffic onto County Road 12 to access adjacent neighborhoods or the schoo1. However, maintaining the road will require some improvements, consideration for pedestrians, potential paving or continued maintenlmce of gravel road, and improvements to the curves and hills. We should convene a meeting of the three residents not involved in the development, the Uberty developers. the school district, Washington County and possibly the DNR to consider the advantages and 4isadvantages of continuing it or vacating it. With the opening of the school next year, it appears that sQme pedestrian traffic will begin to use the road as a connection to the school playground area. This may force US to develop some overall plans in the future. County Road 12 Access The Legends developer has continually requested a right in! right out access to County Road 12 approximately 600 feet east of Manning A venue. The WashingtOD County staff has opposed this. To date, the City has zemained neutral citing some advantages and disadvantages attempting to not take a position. City staff needs to help the City Council make a final determination of support, non- support, or no position. In addition, the City could suggest street changes to make the conunercial area more viable given a lack of access at the requested 600 feet east of Manning Avenue. 01/30/98 FRI 14:48 FAX 612 490 2150 SEH I4J 004 "'"1', .... Steve Russell January 27, 1998 Page 3 . Street Systems Within the Development The City has apparently approved the concept of Qarrower streets with some reservations. The City is concerned about maintenance of the streets, snow storage, separation distances between pedestrians and automobile traffic and other concerns. We have also expressed concern over some of the design details including cul-de-sac widths, turning radii and others. The developers have acknowledged some concerns and possibly ignored or not gotten around to taking care of others. We should, prior to file plat approval, and continued deveiopment, resolve some of the issues in mote detail. The City staff and SEH have been a little bit fragmented in communication with the developer. We should as a staff and consultant reach an agreement on what is needed and convey this to the developer and obtain the best possible plat. In addition, we need to consider the installation of no parking provisions either as part of the initial development or as part of a future installation. Finally the Round-about design needs to be fmalized. We have tried to be supportive of the narrow street concepts, recognizing sidewalk, off-street parking and Jow traffic volumes may make this possible. However, w~ need to be very careful that we are not constructing some type of problem. We do not want to get to a point where preliminary approval of the subdivision will begin to drive the details of design. . We would. very much like io continue to help the City in resolving these lraflic Issues. We have a . . considerable amount of background information and can probably assist in early development and acceptance of solution~. Would you kindly advise us of how We can continue to be of assistance. sab c: Klaytoo EcIdcs, City Engineer Dave Hahn, SBH F:\I'RolllCmR.$\S'nu~ll3sIU.m . i. MEMORANDUM ~o: Planning Commission Steve Russell, Community Development Director V DA: January 23, 1998 FR: RE: PHASE IEXPANSION AREA ZONING TEXT, MAP AMENDMENTS AND DESIGN GUIDELINES (ZAT/98-1, 2, 3& 4 and ZAM/98-1, 2, 3, 4 & 5) The Phase I expansion area is currently zoned Agricultural Preservation as an Urban reserve District. The proposed text and map zoning amendments provide basic development standards regarding permitted use, lot size, setbacks and in some cases require special use permit review or design review. The purpose of these reviews is to make sure the intent of the development, to create unique, attractive neighborhoods that incorporates many of the desirable characteristics of "old" Stillwater is carried out. The proposed ordinances for the Lakeshore. Traditional. Cottage and Townhome Residential Districts are similar to other residential districts used in the City of Stillwater with some exceptions. The design guidelines provide desirable design detail and direction not appropriate for zoning regulations. _he Lakeshore District required administrative design review for all lot development. This is called for because of the sensitive nature of the shoreland area with its slopes, vegetation and protection for erosion. Through administrative design review, these special site conditions can be reviewed and natural resources protected. Through this review, it maybe necessary to modify a setback to preserve vegetation or minimize site alteration and adjacent site development to topography. All the residential districts have special setback requirements for the front ofthe residence and offset between the setback for the residence and the garage. The Lakeshore and Traditional Districts require the garage setback to be 6 feet back of the front wall or porch of the residence. Five feet is required for the Cottage District. This requirement is to ensure that the project with all good intention does not end up being a conventional garage dominant development. The developers have indicated that they are interested in creating a neighborhood comfortable to the pedestrian with narrower streets and wide boulevards. The de-emphasis of the auto and garage contributes to that pedestrian neighborhood feel so common in the older Stillwater neighborhoods where garages are out of site. The Traditional Residential Districts allows accessory dwelling units or home offices above the garage with a special use permit and special design review. This is similar to the recently adopted RB, second unit zoning ordinance. Also a limited number of duplexes are allowed in the Traditional District on a larger than standard lot and with special design standards. Incentives are provided to help create neighborhood like we have in the older parts of Stillwater where single family, duplexes and apartments reside on the same street. A housing benefit of these incentives is to provide smaller lower cost housing .nd for the changing smaller size housing demand. The lot size requirements are 20,000 square feet, Lakeshore, 10,000 square feet, Traditional, and 6,000 square feet, Cottage. The Townhome District requires a lot area of 5,000 square feet per dwelling unit. 4' The Phase I expansion area design guidelines describe the approach used by the city as directed in the Comprehensive Plan for guiding development in "neighborhood". The purpose of the guidelines is to help achieve a better quality of design that is typical of new standard conventional subdivisions. The guidelines relate the public street scape (streets, land spaced boulevards and sidewalks) to the private spaces (residential facade, proportions, detailing and location and design ofthe garage). . The subdivision design includes narrower streets with generous 10 foot treed boulevards and 5 foot sidewalks. The setbacks for the residences in all districts is reduced to bring the houses closer to the street and help create a closer relationship between the private space and the public space. Street detailing, curb design, concrete crosswalks and setback of sidewalk from street hClp create a comfortable space for pedestrians. As important as the street and right of way improvements, are the private lot improvements. Street facades and garage locations are critical elements to creating a unique neighborhood. Garage location and building facades create the personality and feel of the neighborhood. Are housing entries centered and clearly designed? Are their porches to talk with neighbors and pedestrians? Does the house or garage dominate the appearance of the lot? Guidelines address all of these design questions. The Expansion Area Design Guidelines are not zoning requirements but show a clear intent that will be reviewed as a part of final PUD approval process. The following zoning ordinances are attached: Text Amendments Lakeshore Residential Traditional Residential Cottage Residential Townhome Residential Map Amendments Lakeshore Residential Traditional Residential Cottage Residential Townhome Residential Village Commercial ZAT/98-1 ZAT/98-2 ZAT/98-3 ZAT/98-4 .

TO: Planning Commission and Joint Board FR: Steve Russell, Community Development Director ~ DA: January 23, 1998 RE: LIBERTY ON LONG LAKE PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT AND PRELIMINARY PLAT REVIEW (PUD/97-70 & SUB/97-71) Background and Proiect Description The Liberty on Long Lake site was annexed by the City in October 1996 as part of the first phase expansion. A portion of the site, 16 acres, was sold to the school district for an elementary school. Since annexation and earlier during the Comprehensive PIan update, development planning for the site has proceeded. Besides the school, the development provides sites for 350 residential units and 6.2 acres of Village Commercial. The project is comprised of 18 lakeshore lots, 195 Traditional lots, 79 Cottage lots and 40 townhomes. The site is interconnected by an extensive system of sidewalks and pedestrian paths. Liberty Parkway provides a major transportation link between Heritage Square and Liberty Village (Village Commercial District). The parks 13+ acres of parks and trails provided by the development are consistent with the City park and trailway dedication requirements and recommended for approval by the Parks Board. Analysis At the December 17th public meeting and during project review to date issues regarding the traffic circle, right turn commercial access off of County Road 12, DNR PUD open space and dock requirements and slope setback issues have been raised. The attached letter from Marc Putman of Charles Cudd Development provides additional information regarding the issues. Ongoing discussions have continued between Washington County Public Works, the developer and the City Traffic Engineer regarding the traffic circle design. A location and design has been approved by the City's Consulting Engineer but the location may not meet Washington County Spacing Standards. As of this writing, Washington County is reviewing the traffic circle and right turn access location and design for comment (see attached letter from Washington County Public Works). The right turn access will have to finally be approved by the County Board after City review and approval. Since the last Planning Commission/Joint Board meeting, staff has met with DNRand the developers to better understand the DNR PUD requirements and to prepare an open space plan that meets the requirements. The open space plan is sheet 30 of the Liberty on the Lake proposed plans. Four grouped dock locations are provided to meet centralization of docks DNR PUD requirements. .. DNR approval of the open space plan and dock arrangement is necessary before final first phase . PUD approval. A Forest Management Plan has bene provided for the Legend Development. The draft plan needs to be specifically applied to the Legends and Liberty Woodland site. Design review is required for all lake shore lot development and deed restricts will limit development between the lakeshore residence and the OHW mark. The City Engineer has reviewed the project with the developer and many of the comments have been incorporated in the revised plans. Additional comments are attached and made conditions of approval. Preliminary Conditions of Approval The following conditions of approval will have to be met before the city grants final approval to the PUD and final plat. Conditions of Approval. 1. A Forest Management Plan for the Liberty Woodlands shall be prepared with City review and approval by a qualified forester. The plan shall describe measures that can be taken by the developer and new homeowner to protect the woodland. 2. All trails shall be 8 feet bitomious pathways and installed as part of Phase I subdivision . improvements. 3. Street trees and site landscaping shall be installed as phased subdivision occurs or as public improvements are made. 4. Street crossings along Liberty Parkway, Liberty Avenue, Rutherford Road, Pioneer Place and Settlers Way shall be paved with concrete or marked in some other way acceptable to the City. 5. Boulevard areas and front yards shall be sodded. 6. The final design of the traffic circle and County Road 12 right of way shall be approved by the City and Washington County before final PUD and plat approval. 7. DNR shall approve the open space plan and dock locations plan before final PUD and plat approval. 8. Added right of way or street easements shall be provided as required by the City Engineer. 9. The lakeshore setback area shall be protected with an open spacelconservation easement prohibiting land and vegetation disturbances and prohibiting construction other than the . public pathway, docks and enhances landscaping. ~ . . . 10. Educational information shall be provided to alllakeshore homeowners to provide approved lawn care methods. 11. The pathway easements shall be legally described and marked along the shoreline. 12. A list of acceptable trees native to the area shall be provided to developers and owners of individuallots for use in their landscape plans. 13. The Homeowner's Association shall be responsible for maintenance of greens, cuI de sacs and landscaped development theme areas. 14. Areas around wetlands and drainage ponds shall be plated with native plants suited to the environment. 15. Alllakeshore and echo green lots shall require design review. 16. Approved fencing detail shall be included in final PUD review and approval. 17. The City Attorney, City Engineer shall review and approve the declarations, covenants, conditions, restrictions and easements before final PUD approval. 18. The City Attorney and Community Development Director shall review the dock easements and covenant agreements before final PUD approval. 19. The Development Architectural Control Committee shall approve final PUD plans for consistency with architectural standards contained in the PUD application. 20. The City's Design Guidelines for Phase I expansion area development shall be used by the City staff and Planning Commission in reviewing final Planned Unit Development Plans. 21. The City and Developer shall implement the AUAR Mitigation Plan regarding storm water runoff and natural area protection. Attachments: Memo from City Engineer 1-22-98 Update letter from Marc Putnam, Charles Cudd Company 1-21-98 Planning Commission Recommendation: Approval (Resolution attached). ~ IYIEM 0 RAND UIYI . TO: Steve Russell FROM: Klayton Eckles, City Engineer DATE: January 23, 1998 SUBJECT: Comments on Liberty on the Lake Preliminary Plat The engineering staff has reviewed the preliminary plat submittals for the Liberty on the Lake Development Plan and offers the following comments: 1. Significant additional work is required to demonstrate that the proposed Storm Water Management Plan will function. The ponding plan as proposed appears to be inadequate for both water quality and water quantity management. The plan needs to further reduce the rate of flows in to Long Lake, deal with managing water flowing into the development from Grant Township and reduce reliance on wetlands for holding capacity. . 2. All of the comments made by Eric Peters of Bonestroo and Associates regarding storm water quality and quantity management need be addressed. 3. The proposed plan has shown potential impacts to existing wetlands near the Liberty Village and the School House Circle. A thorough sequencing and mitigation plan is required for any wetland impacts. 4. The plans as presented show right-of-ways of 50' for the subcollector streets and 41' for the local streets. These \vidths are inadequate to provide proper 10' separation between sidewalk and curb. 5. The center island at Rutherford Place cul-de-sac should be removed. 6. The intersection at Newman Trail and Eben Way should be reconfigured to eliminate the porkchop island, 7, The tree planting program should be modified to include comments by Sherry Buss regarding the use of native species. This list needs further revie\v by engineering staff as well. . . . 11. . 8. The details which show sidewalks around the outside edge of the greens is recommended for modification (i.e. remove these walks). The project shows possible future street extensions off of Planting Green and Tending Green. The lots which border these future street extensions should be plotted as outlots to allow for proper grading of the area. 9. The grading plan shows grade changes which would require grading of school property. Developer needs to verify that the school is accepting of this design feature. The proposed grading plan does require additional examination. The plan does appear to go to significant lengths to save trees in the area of Echo Green and Newman Trail. In the process, the streets in this area range from 8 to 10 % grades. It is unclear whether this is absolutely necessary. Perhaps by changing proposed house designs or by making modifications to the street grades, these grades could be reduced. Also, there are a large number of homes which show as walkouts or lookouts where the grades on the property don't necessarily support these designs without the use of a very creative house design. By the time the final grading plan is designed, these issues will have to be better detailed. 10. In order for this development to proceed, trunk utilities must be brought to the area. The developer agreement has been put together which deals with installation and funding of these trunk utilities. The developers need to enter into this agreement. Given that the proposed development will be constructed in phases and the utilities will be coming from the far northend of the project, the developer needs to demonstrate an interim utility design concept to carry the project from Phase I through to the final phase.

Fourth St. Stillwater, MN 55082 LIBERTY ON THE LAKE AND LEGENDS OF STILLWATER FINAL PLAT COMMENTS Dear Mr. Russell: Prior to the January 26th Planning Commission meeting we wanted to clarify Washington County's positions on the various issues associated with the Liberty on the Lake and Legends of Stillwater subdivisions. LIBERTY ON THE LAKE: . There are five elements of the Liberty on the Lake plat that was presented to the Planning Commission on December 17, 1997 which require action by the County. These elements are listed below with the Washington County Public Works Department's position and the action required by the developer. Liberty Avenue: · The location of this street is acceptable to the County. · An access permit is required for construction of the street. Specific design requirements will be incorporated into the permit provisions. The City of Stillwater must be named as the permit holder but tile permit appiication may be made on the City's behalf by the developer. Settler's Way: · The location of this street, approximately 1,050 feet south of the Manning Avenue (CSAH 15)/75'h Street North (CSAH 12) intersection is acceptable. · An access permit is required for construction of this street. Specific design requirements will be incorporated into the permit provisions. Again, the City should be named as the permit holder but need not make the submittal. · Washington County has preliminary plans to improve the CSAH 12/CSAH 15 intersection in 1999. To the extent possible, we will coordinate this work with the construction of Settler's Way. Rutherford Road: . · The proposed location of the Rutherford Road/CSAH 12 intersection is in an access controlled County right of way. The Washington County Board of Commissioners must . approve any access to CSAH 12 before a permit can be issued. Specific design elements still must be reviewed, but the County's Transportation Engineer and Director of Public works will recommend approval of this street location to the Board. · The developer will be required to plant a sufficient number of evergreen trees to adequately screen the property at 12360 75th Street North from the headlights of northbound vehicles on Rutherford Road. New England Place: . · The proposed location of New England Place is also in the access controlled right of way. The Washington County Board of Commissioners must approve this access before a permit can be issued. The County Transportation Engineer and Director of Public works will recommend to the Board that this access be denied for the following reasons: 1. Adequate spacing does not exist between Manning Avellue, New England Place, and Rutherford Road to construct long enough turn lanes to provide safe deceleration of vehicles outside of the through traffic lane. 2. Conflicts are created between the outbound right turning vehicles at New England Place and vehicles entering the right turn lane for Rutherford Road. 3. We are concerned about the safe operation of this intersection because of the difficulty of preventing left turn movements on an undivided two lane highway. 4. The Access Spacing Guidelines of the Washington County 2015 Comprehensive Plan require one quarter mile spacing of streets on high volume minor arterial highways. The proposed location of New England Place would be approximately 650 feet east of CSAH 15 and spacing between New England Place and Rutherford Road would be approximately 500 feet. We have recommended acceptance of the location of Rutherford Road at a spacing of slightly less than the 1,320 foot standard in order to avoid wetlands and to accommodate needs of the development. We cannot recommend approval of an additional street between CSAH 15 and Rutherford Road that does not conform with the Board approved standards. Right of Way: . The final plat shows dedication of right of way along CSAH 15 to create a 110 foot wide corridor measured from the traveled centerline of the road. This is necessary to preserve the corridor and is acceptable to the County. . Excess right of way exists along CSAH 12. The County will release right of way outside of 110 feet from the traveled centerline to the developer. The release of this land is contingent on the developer meeting all conditions set forth in this letter and all conditions of all permits that are required by the County for completion of this pr~ject. It shall be the responsibility of the developer to provide the County with an acceptable legal description of the excess right of way and any surveys and/or documentation that may be necessary to convey the land. . Access control must be dedicated on all rights of way, except at approved access points. If the locations of both Rutherford Road and New England Place can be relocated so that standard turn and deceleration lanes can be constructed, we will consider them to have met our spacing requirements. It will still be necessary for the County Board to grant right of entry in an access controlled right of way. . LEGENDS OF STILLWATER: ~,. This development does not directly affect any County Road but does contribute to the . traffic on 62nd Street North. We request that the City require the developer to construct a . southbound left turn lane at this location. A County permit is required for this work. We have appreciated the cooperation of the City throughout the planning processes of these developments. Our reluctance to endorse access that deviates significantly from the County's standards is motivated only by the need for long term corridor preservation along these important County Roads. We feel that preserving their capacity is crucial to maintaining their utility to the City and to through traffic. The function of both CSAH 12 . and CSAH 15 is to provide mobility rather than direct access. If this function is degraded the burden will be shifted to other routes within the City. Our standards were in place and c1eariy stated prior to the annexation of these ianas. We have been flexible in the application of these standards where it has seemed reasonable to be. As for endorsing the location of New England Place, we have been shown no compelling reason to deviate from the standards and cannot recommend doing so. Please call me if you have questions or comments. Sincerely, __~ ?f-y ~sePh Lux c: Wally Abrahamson, Washington County Commissioner Marc Putman, Charles Cudd Co.

Dwight Jelle, Westwood Professional Services Gary Erichson, Mayor, City of Grant . .' January 21, 1998 page 2 of 5 We have refined plans for the main Rutherford Road access, at the approx. II 4th mile point on Hwy. . 12, that meet with approval of both city consulting traffic engineer, our consulting traffic engineer and Co. Hwy. Dept. staff. Further on-site visits and plans have taken place toward solving some of Mr. Fisher's access and headlight concerns, immediately north of the main, Rutherford Rd. entry. Exceeding NIN DOT minimum standards, we could further increase the Rutherford Rd. access dis- tance from Hwy. 15, thus meeting intent and exact letter of all County taper, lane length & radius requirements. The remaining issue is the New England Place, "right-in I right-out" access onto Hv,ry. 121 75th st. at a 1 18th mile location east of Hwy. 15. Newman Realty Partnership (overall land owners and developers of the 6.2 acre village commercial portion of the POO), however, has received commercial market feasibility input from the experienced firm, Maxfield Research and from interested tenantl purchasers of village commercial land warning that the absence of the right- in/right- out at Hwy. 12 will reduce business by 1/3. For that reason we are pursuing further study and resolution. From the overall POO planning standpoint, the probable loss of 1 13 of business will not encumber the viability of the convenience foodl small grocery & fuel facility near the Settlers \-Vay access on Hwy. 15. Rather, the lack of access @ Hwy 12 and New England Place would limit the viability and quali- ty of the other shops...those added structures that will truly make an architecturally attractive village. . The inconvenience, occasioned by having to drive "past" where you want to get to, is the basis for the consultants and interested vendors prediction of 1/3rd business loss. This prediction is made in. awareness that there is currently a zoning- imposed limit on the amount of commercial competitors to this site, at least on hwy. 15. However, many of Liberty Village's potential customers daily travels will expose them to other commercial competitors. Safety Issues: Deleting the New England Place access will decrease safety, increasing the potential for accidents, in the following ways: 1. Drivers, wanting to go east on hwy. 12 from the village commercial area that would other- wise use this rt. -inl rt.- out to Hwy. 12 would be compelled to "mix" commercial vehicular traffic with the school and resident traffic and sidewalk and park pedestrian use at the Rutherford Rd. entry. 2. South-bound drivers on Hwy. 15, vvishing village commercial should be encouraged to use the stop signs I future stop lights at the Hwy. 15/Hwy. 12 comer to make a left turn on 12, move right and use the right in lane proposed at the 1 18th mile point. Deleting this potential entry will force south bound drivers to go past the Hwy. 12 comer, (dri- ving past their destination), and make a left turn at the unsignaled Settlers \-Vay comer. 'While this intersection has been made safer than the current 72nd St. comer, it is still far less desirable to increase left turn movements at this location, when compared to left turns at Hwy. 12, from Hwy. 15. Fortunately, County standards allow 1/8 mile accesses on minor arterials for "non-continuous resi- dential "streets. The intent of this standard appears to allow (typically lower) residential traffic vol- umes to utilize this convenient 1 18th mi. access. The limited size, scale and regulations governing this commercial area will generate traffic volumes more similar to a residential use than a larger, typi- cal commercial use. Also, there is current consideration of mixing residential uses within the com-. mercial village, The maximum vehicles projected, at peak hour traffic, will not exceed approx. one per minute at the rt.- inl rt.- out. January 21, 1998 page 3 of 5 . Transpor.tation Engineers Benshoof & Associates Analysis Supplement of Dec. 18, 1997 projects a max- imum of 21 vehicles in and 38 out (morning) and a maximum of 50 in and 72 vehicles out per hour ( afternoon), onto Hwy 12 going east from proposed New England Place. There are sound, safety improvement reasons to allow the 1/8 mi. access point, that will not occasion either increased traffic inconvenience or congestion, now, and 20 years in the future, substantially meet all County standards and the intent of restricted access. We continue to work with all parties to achieve the best solution and seek city support in our approval efforts with the County Board. . DNR OPENSPACE REQUIREMENTS: vVe understand that since the city chose to adopt portions of the DNR's shoreland regulations, this means that DNR's POO requirements mustbe met. While numerous areas of these DNR's rules require interpretation and adaptation to specific condi- tions, the requirement of providing 50% openspace has been a focus of our reviews. We have prepared studies, met, resolved that, by DNR definitions, private yard area is to be used for' required openspace. We've provided plans I computations showing that we can meet a 50 % require- .ent, or greater. How we do so, and the final amountof openspace designated will depend upon the solution with the DNR, of what, if any, restrictions must be placed upon the openspace within indi- vidual homesites. . We will coordinate our efforts with Pemtom/Dan Herbst so that there will be a consistent resolution with DNR, for both Liberty and Legends developments. . SLOPES: We have reviewed the slope regulations of both the DNR and the City. Based on this review, the report by Westwood regarding the DNR openspace regulations and meetings with both city and DNR staff, we have met the slope requirements specifically regarding the bluff setbacks. To meet the the DNR definition of "Bluff" among many things, the slopes must average greater than 30 %. There is an area of 45,647 sq. ft., affecting 7 lots, shown in Sr. Environmental Scientist's report from Westwood Professional Services. The building pads on these lots will be set back from this area the city-required 40' minimum, (thus exceeding the DNR's 30' setback minimum). The detailed 1" =50' site grading studies within the Liberty POO application have demonstrated a care- ful road and building positioning that preserves 72 % of the trees canopy. In addition, and more importantly, the Reforestation Plan (showing development planting and required resident planting), demonstrates a 280 % replacement of removed tree canopy.. . Further, final POO review, Architectural Review Committee oversight and plan review /building per- mit issuance procedures will also evaluate tree preservation efforts, in conformance with the POO plan .and field circumstances. The lower reaches of the lakeside area, adjacent to the lake and back 90 feet will be protected after construction, by a preservation easement, prohibiting tree and undergrowth removal. . January 21, 1998 page 4 of 5 · DOCKS: Printed below is an excerpt of the narrative provided to the DNR (1/13/98) advocating. the currently shown dock positions. Questions Remaining:... 2. We feel real responsibility to enable the purchasers of lakeshore lots to be able to have use of a dock on their shore area. We have shown grouped docks, at property lines. Our plan will restrict vegetation cut- ting, mowing, deck construction, etc., etc. via a 90' conservation easement. Additionally, only docks of approved design, fabricated and installed by approved vendors will be permitted, under Architectural Review Committee (ARC) approval. Further, should an owner fail to maintain their dock, or damage shore area, the Home Owner's Association will have lien rights to correct the problem and bill the owner. The City will be empowered under our covenants and development agreements to step in, should the Home Owners Assoc. fail in this duty. Access to the shoreline over sloping lot areas will be under scruti- ny by both ARC and the City. Full disclosure of this series of lot owner restrictions will by made in sales presentations and must by part of purchase agreements. Regarding the potential need to further cluster docks, we feel this will over-build a developer-installed pre-set number of dock facilities. It is an equitable balance of both use and attractiveness to maintain the owner's choice to have, (or not have) a dock, than to force a grouping of docks... masses of docks (and people) incompatible with a low-ke\V, passive shore area; groupings that would have, visually, a greater negative impact on the beauty of the shore. Should DNR persist in the demands that the docks be grouped, in spite of the numerous rea- sons that this is inadvisable, we will provide 4 dock groupings: 1 group of 3 slips at the north end of the lake shore lots, 2 groups of 4 slips at the public dock/ canoe storage area and 1 group of 7 slips at . the point at Echo Green. These approximate locations are shown on the illustration accompanying the attached letter dated 1/13/98. · FOREST MANAGEMENT PLAN: We will employ a Forester to assist in the preparation of a Forest Management Plan consistent with the Kunde Co.. Inc. information provided by Westwood Professional Services. The primary focus of such a plan will be two-fold: 1) to review the existing undergrowth and overstory vegetation and advise pruning and tree removal activities such that the wooded area to remain will see a reduction of invasive species and the remaining trees habitat be improved, 2) to provide guidelines for tree protection, retaining wall placement and excavation tech- niques so as to maximize the survivability of existing trees. · ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN STANDARDS: We are committed to the preparation of building plans that will be compatible with, and reinforce the Traditional Neighborhood planning principles demonstrated by the proposed PUD. Specifically, those designs will emphasize: - traditional home massing, -architectural detail at the building streetscape, -reduced setbacks for the home structure, -a "home-dominance" as opposed to a "garage-dominance", -front porches and entry porticos. We encourage the approach of establishing PUD Design Guidelines for use in the review of home plans and designs during your plan review process, much as' we will utilize similar guidelines . in the Architectural Review Committee, reviewing proposed building plans. January 21, 1998 page 5 of 5 . . ROADWAY SYSTEM, RIGHT OF WAYS & GREENSPACE: In the spirit of traditional neighborhood design principles, we have sought to create a network of roads that at once: 1) take advantage of topography 2) create lookout and walkout home potentials 3) generally /I go somewhere" leading, in almost all cases, to neighborhood greens, village squares, the convenience commercial area as well as major parks and school. We have studied the reduced right of way widths and paving widths to provide traffic calming designs as a mechanism to enhance pedestrian safety and the aesthetic interest to the neighborhood...in the character of older Stillwater settings. The neighborhood greens anticipate one way loops, sized to accommodate fire trucks. Having reviewed City Engineer concerns of; snow storage, potential conflict with residents regard- ing city snow plows depositing snow on (resident) plowed sidewalks, sufficient tree growth width, new products available to prevent curb and sidewalk damage potentials, utility common trench issues, the following refinements will be made to final street plans: Rutherford Rd. Liberty Avenue and Liberty Parkway, Pioneer Place and Settlers Way: add 5 J to ' each greenspace behind the curb and in front of the sidewalk. . All other roads: add 2 ' to each greenspace behind the curb and in front of the sidewalk. Steve, We look forward to the completion of the remaining zoning and subdivision panning tasks so we may move into to detail design phase of both homes and development amenity features.

Liberty and Legends exceed 65% openspace, excluding house, garage and drives, wetlands, bluffs, right of ways & paved trails from net and lot area openspace. Allowable PUD densities are low. 3. The DNR definition of "Bluff" requires slopes averaging greater than 30 %. The building pads shown on the plat are not impacted by the area with this slope. . Questions Remaining: 1. We wish to preserve as much flexibility for the home buyers to utilize their lot area as possible. We need clarification on impervious surfaces, accessory structures,etc. and the use of easements to confirm, or further limit uses beyond what city setbacks would regulate. 2.

TO: Planning Commission and Joint Board FR: Steve Russell, Community Development Director II-- DA: January 23, 1998 RE: LEGENDS OF STILL WATER PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT AND PRELIMINARY PLAT (PUD/97-67 & SUB/97-68) Background The Legends of Stillwater is within the Phase I City of Stillwater Expansion Area. The area was annexed in October of 1996. Since that time, the developers have worked with the Planning Commission, Parks Board and Joint Board in developing the proposed plans. Previous to this review, an Environmental Impact Statement (AUAR) has been prepared and adopted for the entire expansion area including the Phase I Expansion Area Site. The Planned Unit Development Plan is consistent with the Land Use Plan of the Comprehensive Plan regarding development type and density and natural resource policies and regulations have been met. The Legends project plans for parks and trails meets the city park dedication requirements and is recommended by the Parks Board for approval as consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. DNR is currently reviewing the Legend PUD and will have to approve the PUD plans before final City PUD approval. Project Description The project entails 155 single family residential lots on 75 acres ofland. The lot types are 21 Lakeshore, 36 Traditional, 98 Cottage lots. An extensive system of trails and sidewalks are planned. A 4.5 acre portion of an oak woodland is dedicated as a public park. Connecting trails lead to a neighborhood or small community park. The street widths are narrower, 28 feet and 24 feet, with 10 foot boulevards with extensive street tree planting. The landscape plan shows nearly 500 trees being planted as a part ofthe subdivision improvement. In addition, private lot landscaping could easily double that number (see attached complete project description and letter from developer). The developer is proposing a traditional design theme similar in many respects to "Old Stillwater" with narrower streets, landscaped boulevards and varied building facades and garage locations. Attached to this report are generic drawings of cottage lot development provided by 1 ~ .. ~ " the developer. The residential zoning ordinances for this area and the expansion area design . guidelines help more specifically define the future preferred residential design direction for the area. Analysis The concept POO plans and preliminary plat are consistent with the recently adopted (December 1995) Comprehensive Plan. The project with the attached conditions of approval is consistent with the ADAR environmental review. DNR must review the proposed POO for consistnecy with the Shoreland Regulations regarding 50 percent open space protection and dock locations (see letter from DNR). Since the last meeting, staff and developers have met with DNR's representative regarding the shoreland review requirements. An open space map shows the 50 percent+ area required by DNR to be maintained in open space. The City Engineer has reviewed the project grading, stormwater drainage plan, street design and many of his comments have been incorporated into the revised plans. Additional Engineer's comments and conditions are attached. Conditions of Approval The following conditions of approval are recommended as project conditions of POO/Preliminary Plat approval. The conditions will have to be met before fmal approvals. . Conditions of Approval: Parks and Trails. 1. The Oak Woodland being dedicated to the City as a park shall be reviewed by the forester and management recommendations made and implemented before dedication to the City. 2.

TO: Steve Russell FROM: Klayton Eckles, City Engineer DATE: January 23, 1998 SUBJECT: Comments on the Legends Preliminary Development Plan We have reviewed the revised preliminary plat of the Legends Development dated' 1/20/98 and offer the following comments: 1. The primary roads including Reunion Road, Barrons Way and Legend Blvd. are all proposed to be 50' right-of-way. These right-of-ways should either be increased to 60', or roadway easements should be added, which are acceptable to the city attorney. . . . 2. . Cul-de-sacs labeled Staples Place~ Sawyer Place and Barrons Circle should be modified to eliminate the center island or increase the center island to the size of 4,000 sq. ft. or a 35'radius. The McDougal Green also should be increased in size by changing the configuration of Lot 11, Blo,ck 1 so that it's the same shape as Lot 10. This would allow McDougle Green to be enlarged in size and more capable of accommodating amenities or pedestrians. Additional information is required for wetland mitigation and protection plans on Outlot D, Lot 7, Block 6, Lot 8, Block 8. All of the comments made by BRA in their review of the compliance with the AUAR should be incorporated in to the plan. At this time it is unclear whether all of these comments have been included. 3. The silt fence/tree protection fence should be shown along Staples Place and Gatiant Way. 4. It's unclear how the development will accommodate drainage coming from the west. This issue must be better detailed. 5. Lot 20, Block 2 shows an existing open ditch on a steep slope which is proposed to remain in place. This could be problematic. 6. Lot 1, Block 4 shows a storm sewer passing directly through the center of the lot. This proposed storm sewer would interfere with the house location. . . 7. . . The proposed plant list shown on the landscape plan should be reviewed to insure it does not include invasive species. 8. Some rudimentary street layouts should be shown along with rough grades on the neighboring properties where the proposed dead-end streets are located. 9. The preliminary plat can only be approved if the developers agree to sign the developer agreement which would insure that all public trunk utilities can be installed to serve this area. r~l ll!Af01(JI)0Uf1h~ ~ The Pemtom Land Company , WESTWOOD PROFESSIONAL BUILDING 14 1 80 WEST 78TH STREET . EDEN PRAIRIE, MINNESOTA 55344 1612)937'()716 · FAX 937-8635 October 17, 1997 Honorable Mayor and City Council City of Stillwater 216 N. 4th St. Stillwater, MN 55082 Re: Planned Unit Development Submission - The Legends of Stillwater Members of the City Council, Planning Commission, Park Board, Joint Planning Board, and City Staff: Status In September 1996, concept information pertaining to the James and Ilo Staloch farm located on the western shores of Long Lake, included in the Phase I Annexation Area of the City of Stillwater, was submitted to you. Since that 'time we have had numerous meetings with the City Staff, Planning Commission, Joint Planning Board, and Park Board, and recently conducted a neighborhood meeting. In addition, a tour was conducted of the site and one of various projects of the Applicant and competitors Planned Unit 1: Developments. We felt fortunate to participate in the annexation process, completion of your Economic Feasibility Study, Comprehensive Plan, and the completion of the A.U.A.R. We now are requesting that our submission be presented for an official public hearing and the adoption of our Planned Unit Development. . . Submission Included is a summary of the development characteristics consisting of environmental resources, public improvements, proposed development, and dwelling unit calculations. History of Applicant The applicant, Pemtom, has been involved in land development and housing since 1963. A list of neighborhoods completed by the Applicant is 'enclosed. In creating neighborhoods, Pemtom has taken particular pride in being one of the first in the Twin Cities marketplace to accomplish Planned Unit Developments, employ landscape architects and land planners, establish homeowner's associations, and has a long history of protecting trees, wetlands, slopes, and other resources long before regulations required such protection. . ";'ity of Stillwater 9-'ctober 17, 1997 Page 2 We are also proud to submit the credentials of Westwood Professional Services, a multi- disciplinary company that employs landscape architects, planners, wetland biologists, engineers, and surveyors. A copy of their credentials is enclosed. In submitting the data on Pemtom and \Vestwood, it is important that one look at the history of the accomplishments of those two firms. This can be used as a strong indicator of what will be done in the future. Most important, is our excitement at the prospect of creating a unique neighborhood for the City of Stillwater. Not only is it the oldest city in Minnesota, but it is also well thought of and one of the most desired communities in the midwest. We are anxious to commence development and create this new neighborhood which will be oflasting pride to the community. Nei2hborhood Name The proposed name for this new neighborhood is The Legends of Stillwater. At the final AP, latting stage we would like to incorporate street names that may be suggested by your ~Ianning Commission or Historical Society. ,We ,are suggesting such street names as Sawyer Trail, after a social center for the upper crust .founded in 1857 and now the Lowell Inn, McKean Circle, for one of Stillwater's founding fathers, Mulvey Road for a prominent logger, Judd Trail after the first school teacher, and Delano Drive after the first prison warden. Neighborhood Identity Throughout the City of Stillwater there are numerous utilizations oflimestone, lattice, traditional landscaping, and traditional housing. We intend on installing a neighborhood identity feature, internal gazebo on the pond, and utilizing limestone and traditional landscaping and streetscaping throughout the development. Traditional architecture or architectural elements such as garage placement, rooflines, porches, porticos, window styles, eaves, detailing, etc. will be encouraged. People entering The Legends will know they are not in a standard suburban subdivision and will see and feel the connection to the traditional element in Stillwater today. Preliminary plans of the entry and landscape features are enclosed. Topographical/Slope Analysis A sloping analysis and boundary survey have been conducted on the site and all slopes in four distinct ranges have been studied. A topographical map and slope analysis plan are . enclosed. City of Stillwater October 17, 1997 Page 3 . Site topography ranges from an elevation of891.5 at Long Lake along the east boundary to an elevation of966 along the west center boundary. The topography is generally a slope towards Long Lake for the southerly one half of the site. The northerly half, while also draining into Long Lake, is more rolling with seven wetland pockets. Site slopes range from 2%-40%. Only about 10% of the site has scattered slopes in excess of 12%. The steeper slopes are primarily along the lake shore, the west boundary, and in the northern wooded area. There is a small "bluff" zone located along the lake shore in the northeast corner of the site. The majority of the site, especially in the east central and southern areas, has slopes under 12%. Wetlands and Soils The firm of Arlic Environmental, Inc. was used to analyze the existing wetlands on the site and the various soil types have been identified for the property and graphically displayed. Braun Intertec was employed in December 1995 to conduct soil borings and Terry Brothers Excavating was employed to conduct test pits for soil technician analysis. There are seven (7) delineated wetlands located in the north and northeast parts of the site within the rolling topography totaling 2.07:t acres. .Five of these wetlands fall within the Ronneby Fine Sand Loam soils. The soils are generally sandy loams, silt loams, and clayey sands, based on the Washington County Soils Survey. Ground water was not observed at soil , borings at depths of 10-18 feet. . Land Use and Zoning The Comprehensive Plan, recently adopted by the City of Stillwater, and approved by the Metropolitan Council, indicates large lot development on the eastern one half of the site permitting two units per acre on approximately 35 acres for a total density of approximately 70 units and the western half of the site indicates approximately 4 units per acre on 38 acres or 153 units for a total guided use of223 units on the total site of74.75 acres. Net land existing above the ordinary high water mark and wetlands contains 73.25 acres. The submission included is for 154 dwelling units. . Rights of Ways Plans and written description of streets, sidewalks, and streetscapes are included. Gradingffirainage A storm water run off calculation is enclosed. The calculations are based on the Nationwide Urban Runoff Program and the Soil Conservation Service synthetic unit hydrograph method. The flow rates for a 1 year flood frequency up to a 100 year frequency reduce the post development flow rate 19%-38% from the total predevelopment flow. . .City of Stillwater ctober 17, 1997 Page 4 Traffic Analysis A memorandum summarizing traffic analysis is enclosed. The projections follow the assumptions in procedures that were also studied in the larger A.U.A.R. study. Based on a daily trip rate of9.55 trips per single family home, this project is expected to have a daily trip generation of approximately 1440 trips. With minimum residential street widths, these volumes can be accommodated with no roadway operation or capacity problems; Sewer Feasibility Study The feasibility report for sanitary sewer trunk and water main trunk prepared by S.E.H. and Westwood is available for review. Homeowner's Association A Homeowner's Association will be created to maintain architectural control and to maintain the common elements that are not public such as the entry features and gazebo. A sample of the Articles of Incorporation, By-Laws, and Declaration of Covenants is enclosed. .ock:\2:e " . i\. proposed cluster dock plan is submitted wherein the 21 lake lots will share 11 docks of uniform size, design, and style. An easement agreement will exist between the lot owners. A sample of that agreement is enclosed. Trail and Utilities A 40' drainage utility and trail easement will be granted along the entire shoreline of Long Lake abutting this neighborhood. The trail will be constructed by the applicant at a ' location jointly agreed to by the Developer and the City and after acceptance will be maintained by the City. At the trail head, the Developer will also construct a 10 stall parking lot with landscaping and buffering. Park Dedication Letter summarizing Park Dedication is enclosed. Key Submission Documents Included: . 1. Preliminary Plat 2. Grading Plan 3. Utility Plan 4. Landscape Plan 5. Tree Preservation Plan 6. Street Sections Plan 7. Site Sections Plan 8. Slopes Plan 9.

These goals, also being encouraged by the A.U.A.R. document to help reduce negative effects on the environment, also will help benefit the City in many ways. The following is a partia11ist of advantages that smaller street widths provide: · Reduces the average temperature of rainwater runoff that eventually routes to Brown's Creek or the St. Croix River · Reduces the runoff rate and runoff volume of stormwater by reducing the amount of hard surface within a project · Encourages slower traffic. Neighborhoods with narrower, curvilinear streets experience slower average speeds than wider, straight streets according to the Institute of Transportation Engineers. Slower traffic leads to safer streets for the pedestrian · Reduces the amount of snow to be removed from streets, thus reduces the Public Works work effort · Reduces the amount of pavement to be maintained and or replaced during it's lifecyc1e · Reduces maintenance costs · Reduces replacement costs · Provides for a more pedestrian friendly environment that allows more green spacellandscaping adjacent to the homes · Reduces the initial cost of the street by reducing the raw materials required The streets we are proposing are represented in a document provided by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE). Within that document, they establish a series of 16 goals that should be considered when laying out a residential street system. They are as follows: 1. Adequate vehicular and pedestrian access should be provided to all parcels 2. Local street systems should be designed to minimize through traffic movements 3. Street patterns should minimize excessive vehicular travel 4. Local street systems should be logical and comprehensible... 5. Local circulation systems and land development patterns should not detract from the efficiency of bordering major streets 6. elements in the local circulation system should not have to rely on extensive traffic regulations in order to function efficiently and safely. Designing the Future TodaY,usince 1972 7. Traffic generators within residential areas should be considered in the local circulation pattern 8. Planning and construction ofresidential streets should clearing indicate their local function 9. The street system should be designed for a relatively uniform low volume of traffic 10. Local streets should be designed to discourage excessive speeds 11. Pedestrian-vehicular conflict should be minimized 12. A minimum amount of space should be devoted to street use 13. There should be a limited number of intersections 14. The arrangement oflocal streets should permit economical and practical patterns, shapes and size of development parcels 15. Local streets should be related to topography from the standpoint of both economics amenities 16. Appropriate provisions for transit service within residential areas should be established . The Legends of Stillwater contains a local street system with Average Daily Traffic (ADT) volumes ranging from 50 to 680 two way trips per roadway. Our street classification system includes Limited Access Streets, Access Streets and Subcollector streets. These streets have ranges of ADT from 0-60, 0- 250 and 250-1000 two way trips per day respectively. Although ADT analysis is not the best or only design criteria for residential street design, it gives us a basis for determining use needs of a particular roadway. The following chart represents our proposed street design: Street Type ADT Range ,Roadway Width Parking Limited Access Drives 0-60 20.5 (B-B) One side Access Streets 0-250 24 feet (B-B) Both sides Subcollector streets 250-1000 28 feet (B-B) One side . Access Streets and Subcollector streets are proposed in 50 foot right-of-ways that allow for sidewalks, utility corridors, pedestrian/public movement and landscaping. All houses will have a minimum of a two car garage that will allow for the majority of the cars to park off of the street. On-street parking should be considered an occasional event. The issue of reduced street widths is important to this development to capture the character and overall feel of a quality neighborhood. Please contact me if you have any questions.

January 20, 1998 Mr. Steve Russell City of Stillwater 216 N. 4th St. Stillwater, MN 55082 Dear Steve: This letter is a follow-up of my letter to you on December 26, 1997 and our meeting on Friday, January 16, 1998. No one will ever say our meetings are not without a lot of opinions and enthusiasm. Regarding the DNR position of the area hydrologist, I feel confident that the intentions of these regulations are not to be as cumbersome 'as they are communicated to us. We will . quickly try to resolve this issue through informal channels and, if not successful, I will have a very knowledgeable attorney meet with the DNR staff. It seems to me the restriction being considered for these properties relates to areas where storm water quality treatment and resource protection by N.U.R.P. standards is not being utilized. In the meantime, we will provide a plan showing where we could potentially accommodate the 50% public/private lot open space. The issue of impervious coverage in these areas yet needs further review and negotiation. \Ve will also provide two plans for dock arrangements - one with'a single centralized location for 21 docks as requested by the DNR and a second, as we originally proposed, for 11 shared docks for 21 lots. Our feeling is that the lake impact of 11 docks likely will be less since some owners may not install docks whereas, if centralized, the homeowners association and the developer will be required to install all 21 dock slips. As previously noted, these items will be further reviewed with the DNR prior to final City approvals. Regarding the design area - you have made a quantum leap from talking about design guidelines and your consultants draft of Design Guidelines to now drafting Residential Zone Districts requiring "AlI front facing garages shall be setback at least 5 feet further than the house from front or side streets. II Even a Comprehensive Plan stating the need for traditional housing could never be legally stretched to a point of requiring specific limitations that mayor may not have anything to do with traditional housing. Neither you . or our covenants should be so restrictive as to doom our project financially. Any absolute requirement for a garage to be set back further than the house may not only impact good traditional design, but also limit a traditional prone consumer to have limited floor plan choices. Incentives or encouragement - "yes"; requirements "no". Vrv- Mr. Steve Russell January 20, 1998 Page 2 . Specifically the definition of Traditional Residential (TR) District in your amendment should be general in nature to "encourage" such items as porches, steeper pitched roofs, vertical windows, and less dominant garage elevations. Residential Zone District Standards should allow housing to be closer than the required 25' setback, perhaps 15-20' if the garage is recessed at least '4'. If not, both house and garage would be required to be 25', for example, on :an L.R lot. In all districts (L.R, T.R, C.R., or T.R.), there should not be any mandatory requirements that the garage be setback further than the house, but if a house is designed with a garage recessed at least 4', then a 5' concession could be granted on a front or s~de street yard setback. Your footnote "I" needs to be rewritten in a less restrictive form with co~ditions to offer greater flexibility for market demand. Your footnote "2" requirement, "Rouse and garage setbacks shall meet specific design requirements regarding garage location and design and front or side of house elevations" is far too nebulous and should be deleted. . We intend to provide 10 foot wide boulevards between the street curbs and right-of-way line or sidewalks through either rearrangement of elements within the right-of-way or by adding right-of-way/sidewalk easements. A draft forestry management plan has been submitted for staff review and comment. Please refer to my letter of December 26, 1997 as it relates to other elements contained in the original design guidelines. Also, being that the design guidelines are just that only, the word "shall" should be removed throughout these guidelines. You should know that our company has and will continue to seek traditional housing and character for this neighborhood and will encourage traditional elements in our architectural control process. We will strongly insist on compliance with builders within this project subject to market support. Sincerely, THE PEMTOM LAND COMPANY Af)~j2 ~ . Daniel 1.

December 26, 1997 Steve Russell City of Stillwater 216 N. 4th St. Stillwater, MN 55082 Re: Follow up of December 17, 1997 Joint Board and Planning Commission Meeting Dear Steve: As a result' of the above meeting, I will have Westwood Professional Services commence work on a forest management plan. Greg Kopischke, Landscape Architect, will start work on the plan as well as the zoning ordinance. . With respect to the suggestions ofK1ayton Eck1es~ Dwight Jelle and Klayton will work together to resolve the grading and drainage issues on the north west and north central part of the site where the land abuts the Gadient property. It is my understanding that you me~t with Molly Shodeen, Area Hydrologist for the DNR, to follow up on her letter of December 12, 1997. I am confident that the plan we have submitted to th~ City is not only a Planned Unit Development, but complies with the Shoreland Ordinance of both the Department of Natural Resources and the City of I Stillwater. In any event, if you want assistance from us or if you want us to participate in any of the meetings with the D.N.R, please advise. A meeting with Rob Boute, Senior Environmental Scientist of Westwood Professional Services and Dwight Jelle might be of benefit. I understand that Homer Tompkins is in the process of submitting the topography data to Rob Boute so the shoreland analysis can be accomplished on the CPDC site. The data you request be prepared for the D.N.R. is in process by Westwood. With respect to the Design Guidelines, I would like to offer the following comments to you and Roger Tompton of Tompton Environmental Design. r was a little disappointed in his presentation in that no mention or concern was ever raised as it relates to housing affordability. Even though it is impossible as a result of the land costs and density on this site to produce low income housing, all of us should strive, both from the private and . public sector, to achieve as much cost efficiency as is possible since all costs are paid by the housing consumer. It is important that one focuses on the relationship ofland, land development, and governmental costs since a component of the lot costs ends up ,. Steve Russell December 26. 1997 Page 2 being a four to five time housing multiplier as it relates to the cost of the total finished home. Each increase in mortgage payments excludes a segment of the market place. The greatest deterrent to housing affordability in the last twenty years has not been bricks and mortar. but increases in costs brought on by additional governmental regulations and by the dramatic increase in land prices brought on by limited supply which again is being impacted by regulations and growth controls. With respect to the Guidelines, I offer the following comments: Sidewalks Standard sidewalks are normally 5' wide. The average price of a 5' sidewalk runs about $10 per linear foot and an additional l' in width will increase each linear foot of sidewalk by approximately 20%. Putting a sidewalk on both sides will add over $1.000 to the cost of each lot abutting the sidewalk on an average size lot which will increase the house price by $4.000-$5.000. . Curbs The curb section proposed costs more than the sunnountable curb. but also has additional cost effects in that all of the driveways for the entire neighborhood need to be predetermined and if a driveway is changed. the entire curb section must be removed to accommodate that driveway. This curb section should be eliminated as not practical. not , cost efficient. and it eliminates any chance of parking on the curb surface itself. Roof Gables If all roof gables are required to be 7/12 or greater. that is exactly what you will get and all of the houses will look identical. I would recommend that a guideline should be 5/12 or greater to allow for some diversity. Vertical Windows Windows with a vertical orientation are not a problem. but if one were to stack a number of vertically integrated windows in a row. would this violate the guidelines? Porches All of us think porches are desirable. but from a design point of view, requiring one half of the houses to have front porches is also going to add forced monotony to the neighborhood. . '. . Steve Russell December 26 1997 Page 3 Side and rear porches and market designed traditional housing should be encouraged. If you dictate that one half the houses have similar porches, that is what you will get. Landscapin2: Impossible to function in Minnesota by requiring no occupancy until lawns are presodded. This prohibits any individual from sodding or seeding their own lawn as a cost componept and also prohibits any closing to occur when sod is not available, which can be six months out of the year. We should have a discussion about when the trees should be planted. From a marketing point of view, I like all of the boulevard trees planted up front, but fr<?m a construction point of view, it causes the greatest amount of tree !oss. . SetbackslLot Requirements A designated shoreland setback of (R-LA) is a standard suburban requirement of Woodbury and Eden Prairie with 30' front, and 10' side yard. In most cases 100' is where the house ends up, but you may have a garage or a deck or larger house that will be at 75' which is more than adequate. Assuming most of the lots in The Legends have.side lot depths from 175'-250' and a 40' easement is protected from both a conservation and tree maintenance point of view, 751 setbacks are acceptable, and 100' does not give the . environment or lakescape views any noticeable difference. There will be architectural review of each home. SetbackslLot Requirements - Traditional (R- T) If one were to have a 50% requirement for porches, that is what one will get and dictating decks or porches should not be a City's design requirement, but should be market driven. A minimum of30% of the garages to the rear of the residences and shared driveways are highly impractical in today's market place with consumers wanting shorter driveways for maintenance and snow removal purposes. Reducing the amount of blacktop is environmentally beneficial. Having a substantial number of rear garages impacts on creative floor planning. No discussion is made throughout the Guideline on the need to have creative living spaces inside the homes which is more important to successful housing and desirable living than dictating external c.onstraints that will impact on the floor plans. . SetbackslLot Requirements - Cotta2:e (R-C) One look at the special requirements of a rear detached garage and one can only imagine the difficulty of a single woman or elderly couple attempting to maintain that extensive driveway and to encounter the extreme difficulties in Minnesota with going to and from their garage for storage, trash, and car access. Imagine the difficulty of maintaining a Steve Russell December 26 1997 Page 4 . shared driveway if the two homeowners did not get along. If two customers would indicate a desire to create such'a traditional element, it should be built, but there will need to be specific covenants and agreements between the parties as to the maintenance of those extensive driveways. Too much is being compromised to create a porch on the street. These are market driven elements and should not be design guidelines. Other issues relating to these guidelines are important to us. We will be addressing these issues in the zoning ordinances that we will propose to you on the 6th of January. I will be out of town until January 10, 1998. My phone number is 941-267-8430 while away. Also, please call Dwight Jelle with any questions. Sincerely, .

To: Mayor and City Council From: Klayton H. Eckles, City Engineer ~i- / Date: 01/28/98 Re: Request for Feasibility Study of Storm Water Problem - 216 W. Wilkins, Project 9808 DISCUSSION: Attached is a letter from Marcia McMichael Kilbourne, 216 W. Wilkins. She is requesting that the City complete a feasibility study of the flooding problem that she describes that occurs on her property during extreme storm events. Apparently, large amounts of water from backyards and possibly Wilkins Street collect in the backyard of this and neighboring properties during extreme events. An existing storm sewer is located in the backyards, but apparently is unable to handle the volumes that collect in this area. Given that Ms. Kilbourne is intending on making some improvements to the lower level ofthis home, a timely completion of this study would be appropriate. Perhaps modifications to the home design could result in reduced exposure to flooding. City staff could complete this feasibility study within the next 6-8 weeks. RECO~1ENDATION: Staff recommends that Council make a determination on the need for completing the requested study of the property located at 216 W. Wilkins Street. ACTION REQUIRED: If Council determines that a feasibility study is warranted, Council should pass a motion adopting Resolution No. 98-_, ORDERING PREPARATION OF FEASIBLITY REPORT FOR STORM WATER IMPROVEMENTS TO SERVE 216 W. WILKINS (Project 9808). City of Stillwater Clayton Eckles I would like to request an engineering study for stonn water. My house at 216 W. Wilkins has received structure and personal property damage on the July 3rd stonn when my backyard rose to over 8 ft of water above your sewer clean out I fell into this hole and fought to get out, being pulled toward the clean out Insurance is paying for the damage this time. Should it happen again, I'm afraid they may not be so nice. I think this matter could be taken care of so it doesn't happen again, Clayton and I discuused potential ways to correct the problem without running a second pipe under forth street Thank-you for your consideration of this matter, Marcia McMichael Kilbourne 216 W.

MOTION by Gary Talbot to delay the Cable Company issues until the arrival of Steve Hanson, seconded by Doug Bergmann. MOTION CARRIED, FCC Update - Mr. Magnuson stated in a memo to the Commission that he had received a response from King Video, along with the Form 1210, which showed that the rate increase was 10 cents below the maximum permitted rate; therefore the Company appears to be in compliance with FCC rules and Dave recommended no further action be taken. He did say, however, that there appears to be no penalty in continuing the complaint process. The Commission had discussion about the fact that not only was there a substantial rate increase but that there had been manipulation of Channels as well; the moving of the Disney channel from the premium tier to the basic tier; the'removal of the Travel channel and the adding of Fox News and Animal Planet. Gary also questioned the rate increase and it being inappropriate to do that when the company had just been sold. It was felt that we should let the FCC know that we aren't happy with any of these changes. MOTION by Doug Bergmann to have Dave Magnuson continue the complaint process and send a letter of complaint to the FCC 1/21/98 Commission Meeting - Page 2 . regarding the issues mentioned, seconded by Gary Talbot. MOTION CARRIED. Cable Company - 11/14 complaint - Steve Hanson acknowledged that the Access Center was in fact closed from 10:30 t01 :30 p.m., as the staff was helping install video equipment at the High School. He admitted that the situation should have been handled differently, in that only one of the guys should have gone; and he said ' that the employees were spoken to about this. Steve stated that it is somewhat of a problem having the Access Center open so many hours, considering the amount of usage and the number of people on staff (2 full time and a part time) and asked the Commission to consider reducing the number of hours. Dave Magnuson stated that the franchise says that the studio and equipment must be readily available for public use but that the hours of operation are not in the franchise - hours of operation was decided upon between the Company and the Corporation. Jack Doerr reminded the Commission that the Access Center staff had agreed to having staggered hours so that there would always be someone there, but that it had lasted only a week before going back to the old way. Dave gave the Commission a memo regarding penalties for a violation of the franchise - we had to give the Company a 10 day written notice about the violation and the penalty which would be assessed if the violation didn't cease;"- His opinion was that the Commission didn't give this 1 0 day notice, that the violation had been quickly cured, and therefore we would not be entitled to assess a penalty; . Mike Knutson asked to revisit his 'complaint of '11/17/97 about refusal of public' " information. He had requested information on equipment checkouts and Johri Linaell didn't give it to him, was argumentative about it, and told Mike that he'd have to ask.-' Roy for that information the next day. Steve Hanson didn't feel'thatit was' / '.: unreasonable for John to ask Mike to get the information the next day. Dave ' Magnuson indicated that requests for information doesn't mean that the information- must be given on the spot. There was some discussion about whether Roy is the Only one who can take care of information requests or whether it can be handled by , whatever staff person is on duty. It was felt that whoever is on duty should be able to handle public access to records. Cable Company - Policy on number of times a program can be shown: There was much discussion about the fact that some shows seem to be played over and over. The operating rules states that a show can be shown up to 4 times a week. Jerry Turnquist indicated to Steve Hanson that he was going to start keeping track of how many times programs are being shown (objectionable programs in particular). OLD & NEW BUSINESS Complaint of Mrs. Anderson/ Inappropriate channel for programs: There have been complaints about Joe Goulet's program appearing on Educational Access Channel 3; a complaint from Ethel' Anderson was received recently concerning this - . . . . 1/21/98 Commission Meeting - Page 3 there was a segment of Howard Stern on the show which she objected to, mainly because it was shown on Channel 3. Steve Hanson says that the Cable Company's hands are tied concerning a number of public access issues. FCGrules and guidelines severely restrict King's ability to regulate issues concerning programming and producers. Censoring of programs which producers submit (1 st AmendmeQt issue) is not allowed and the producers also get to choose what channel their show goes on and how many times they would like it to be shown. When asked why then were there specific channels set up for Public Access, Education & Government and we can't control what goes on those channels, Steve replied that rules for the PEG channels have changed over the 15 year franchise period. He stated that Commissions used to have more control over such things as programming and rates. NEW BUSINESS Complaint from Mrs. Anderson - Continued - Mrs. Anderson's complaint was received and discussed not only because of the inappropriate channel, but also because of further concerns since she made her complaint. A small portion of a video was shown - it was the show Mrs. Anderson had complained about, but had been edited after the complaint had.been received and,some messages had been inserted which were felt to be intimidating. ,Steve Hanson ' indicated their hands are tied on this type of issue also,but said that the Cable ; Company would get an opinion from their attorney regarding the extent to which the , cable company can deal with programming and producers and share that opinion with Dave Magnuson. Dave said he would also look into the issue. It was stated that after a program has been shown once, that our obligation to the producer has been met. Jack Doerr stated that the company should be concerned about possible copyright infringement because of some of the materials being used in programs, such as the Howard Stern segment, portions of concerts, etc. On the issue of intimidation, Jack told Steve Hanson that he had received calls from 3 different people who are producers, who have heard the staff at the access center plot against the Commission and the Corporation and that the callers didn't want to be identified. Gale Bush asked whether we have the right to see complaints filed with the Access Center. Steve indicated that he believed so. ' Complaint procedures was discussed. Steve stated that when there are 3 complaints about a program that the program is pulled in order to review the issue and make an assessment. Gary wants the complaint process to be clarified on the scroll through messages on the cable channels. He feels we should let the public know that it is King's policy to review a program after 3 complaints are received, and to eliminate 1/21/98 Commission Meeting - Page 4 . some of the numbers listed. He suggested that only the Commission and Access Center phone numbers be listed, as that is where all of the complaints are logged. Sharon Ridgway'commented on how'Mrs~ Anderson was treated when she called about objectionable programming; thatshe Was'trE3atedrlJdely. Steve is to tell the Access Center staff that they must be polite to the public.' ", .,; A letter was received from Mr. & Mrs. Funari regarding the dropping of the Travel Channel - they had not been able to receive an explanation as to why. Steve said that they only have so many channels for programming and that they choose programs that are of the most interest to people. The Travel channel had consistently received low ratings in the Nielson ratings and therefore was replaced. Kathy was asked to send a letter to both Mrs. Anderson and Mr. & Mrs. Funari, assuring them that their complaints were heard. Steve Hanson said that the cable company calls also. MOTION by Gary Talbot to have Kathy send letters out to the 2 customers with complaints, seconded by Doug Bergmann. MOTION CARRIED. The equipment list for purchases from escrow which had been presented 11/97 was discussed briefly; everything had been approved by the Corporation and Commission at the 11/97 meeting except for the computer, and there were questions regarding replacement of the studio monitor. Steve said that the monitor is nowworking and that .,,'~' they can make db with it, but that Roy's 'preference was to have it replaced.Stev~ said that he would talk to Jim and get his approval and prices for the playback deCks-'and audio components. Roy is still working on getting bids for a character generator for the control room. ' " ' " There was some discussion about the mandated increase of franchise fees charged - Steve will get us more information on this. ACCESS CENTER REPORT - Was received. CORPORATION REPORT Karen stated that the Corporation regretfully accepted Patrick Chapman's resignation from the board to accept his appointment on the Cable Commission. The Corporation had applications for 2 new board members: Art Edlundh, who has experience with studio equipment and has worked at Suburban Community Channels, and John Bilello, who has produced programming here. MOTION by Doug Bergmann to approve the new candidates to the Corporation board, seconded by Gary Talbot. MOTION CARRIED. Karen is working on a business proposal for the transfer of public access to the . community, as part of our Needs Assessment information. She plans to have this to . . . 1/21/98 Commission Meeting - Page 5 Kathy by January 31 st. Karen asked the Commission for direction on this issue: When Cities want information about the Corporation or have comments ,about its management, policies or ' programming, can we have th.e Cities channel, those comments through the , Commission or is it to come directly to 'the' Corporation as ithas been? There was discussion on this issue, and Dave Magnuson's opinion on the issue was that the Corporation is a private, non-profit organization, kept separate from government and that the Commission only controls the approval of their budget and the approval of new board members; therefore they are a separate entity and should be dealt with directly. There were varying opinions from the Commissioners so if was put up for a vote. MOTION by Jerry Turnquist that if the Cities want information about the Corporation that they should make their request to the Commission, who will attempt to get the information needed. Seconded by Doug Bergmann. Patrick in favor, everyone else against - MOTION FAILED. . COMMISSION BUSINESS a. Approval of Dan's Salary Increase - Don's job duties were discussed and the Commission was asked to approve the raise recommended by the Budget Committee. MOTION by Jerry Turnquist to increase Don's salary by $2 an hour (increase from $11 to $13); that the salary covers,the duties listed; and that the raise be effective January 1st, 1998. Seconded by Gary Talbot. MOTION CARRIED. , ' b. Dan's new billable rate - Due to Don's salary increase, we will have to .. increase Don's billable rate for extra services. MOTION by Jerry Turnquist to have the new billable rate at $15 an hour, seconded by Doug Bergmann. MOTION CARRIED. c. Discussion of Renewal Issues - It was decided to schedule a workshop to decide on some renewal issues and to try to wrap up Needs Assessment. Depending on how things go, Kathy will set up a workshop for either Tuesday, February 3 or Monday, February 9th at 6:30 p.m. She'll pick a place and let everyone know. Doug indicated that he will be out of town until March 5th. Kathy described the time frame and the remaining tasks for Needs Assessment and we need ,to get the Needs document written by our attorneys for approval by the Commission - if not the February meeting, then for sure by the March meeting, so we can stay on schedule for renewal.

Minnesota 55117-5485 January 27,1998 TO: ALL MUNICIPALITIES AND COUNTIES IN NSP GAS SERVICE AREA Re: Northern States Power Company - Gas Utility Docket No. G-002lGR-97-1606 Notice Pursuant to Minn. Rule 7829.2400 Dear Sir or Madam: On December 2, 1997, Northern States Power Company - Gas Utility C"NSP Gas" or "the Company") filed an application with the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission ("Commission ") requesting approval of a general increase in NSP's rates for natural gas service to customers in the State of Minnesota. NSP Gas requested a fmal rate increase of approximately $18.5 million, or 5.51 percent. The Commission recently issued a Notice and Order for Hearing setting the rate case for a contested case proceeding before the Office of Administrative Hearings. On January 22,1998, the Commission voted to authorize NSP Gas to collect an interim rate increase of $13.9 million annually, effective February 1, 1998, subject to the outcome of the contested case proceedings. If the final rate increase approved by the Commission is less than the interim increase, NSP Gas would issue refunds plus interest to affected natural gas customers. The Commission will issue a fmal decision by October 2, 1998. Pursuant to Commission Rule 7825.2400, Subp. 3, attached please find a copy of the NSP Gas "Notice to Counties and Municipalities" describing the proposed NSP Gas rate increase and the interim rate increase approved by the Commission. Also attached is a copy of the Commission's Notice and Order for Hearing. A Prehearing Conference with Administrative Law Judge (AU) Richard Luis is scheduled for Wednesday, February 4, 1998, at 9:30 a.m. The purpose of the Prehearing Conference is to set the schedule and procedures for the contested case hearings. You may attend the prehearing conference -- it is a public meeting -- but are not required to attend unless you plan to be a party in the contested case litigation. Proposed Notice to Counties and Municipalities Under Minn. Stat. ~ 216B.16, Subd. 1 . STATE OF MINNESOTA BEFORE THE MINNESOTA PUBLIC UTILITIES COl\1MISSION In the Matter of the Application of Northern States Power Company for Authority to Change Its Schedule of Gas Rates for Retail Customers Within the State of Minnesota NOTICE OF APPLICATION FOR RATE INCREASE Docket No. G-002/GR-97-1606 In a December 2, 1997 filing with the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission, Northern States Power Company ("NSP" or "the Company") requested an increase in its rates for natural gas service within the State of Minnesota. The Company proposed a schedule of new rates to take effect on February 1, 1998. . State law permits the Commission to suspend the proposed rates during a ten-month review period. If the proposed rates are suspended, the Commission must order an interim rate schedule into effect not later than 60 days after the initial filing date. The Company filed a schedule of proposed interim rates based largely on the Commission's decision in the previous NSP gas rate case (Docket No. G-002/GR- 92-1186). On or before October 2, 1998, the Commission must decide how much of an increase, if any, will be allowed. If the final rate level is less than the interim rate level, the excess amount collected during the interim period will be refunded to customers with interest. The Company is requesting this increase to cover expected higher costs in providing gas service to its customers. Examples of the effect of the interim rates and proposed rates on typical bills are as follows: . . . . If you wish to intervene or testify in this case, contact the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission, 121 Seventh Place East, Suite 350, St. Paul, Minnesota 55101-2147. * The present rate levels identified in this application represent the rates authorized in Docket No. G002/GR-92-1186. 3 JAH-23-1998 15:30 CITY OF OPH P.02/0J eITY OF OAK PARK HEIGHTS CITY eOO'NeIL MEETING AGENDA TUESDAY, JANUARY 27, 1998 . 4:30 P.M.

January 23, 1998 . Ms. Sandra K. Cullen Washington County Public Works Department 11660 Myeron Road Stillwater, MN 55082 Re: EAW for Proposed Manning Avenue Extension - City of Lake Elmo and Bay town Township Dear Ms. Cullen: At their January 22,1998 meeting the Managers of Valley Branch Watershed District reviewed the EA W for the proposed Manning Avenue extension project and offer the following comments: . General The Managers believe that the No-Build alternative is the appropriate alternative that should .be selected by the County. It is our understanding that the No-Build alternative is also the option preferred by both the City of Lake Elmo and Baytown Township. The various Build alternatives all result in negative impacts on the water resources of the Valley Branch Watershed. These negative impacts include, but are not limited to, adverse impacts on Goetschel Pond, Lake McDonald, Cloverdale Lake, and other areas of the watershed. The Managers note that prior District studies relating to the potential impact of the proposed annexation and subsequent development of portions of Baytown Township by the City of Oak Park Heights assumed that the current road system would remain as it is today. In the event that any of the Build alternatives were to be selected, the Managers would need to re-examine the potential adverse impact of the proposed annexation by Oak Park Heights. Specific Comments 8. Permits and Approvals Required Table 1 includes Valley Branch Watershed District as having permit authority through its role as Local Governmental Unit for the Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act. It should also note that the Watershed District has its own permit program for a variety of projects affecting the waters resources of the District. Alternatives 1, 2 and 3 will require a Watershed District permit. DAVE BUCHECK STevE FOLEY RAY BRENNER DALE 80RASH TOM NOVAK VALLEY BRANCH WATERSHED DISTRICT P.O. BOX 838 LAKE ELMO, MINNESOTA 55042.0538 Ms. Sandra K Cullen January 23, 1998 Page 2 . 11 (b) Endangered, Threatened or Special-Concern Species The analysis of impacts of highway construction on potential Blanding's turtle habitat states that mitigative measures could be implemented to preserve habitat, despite roadway construction. This evaluation does not address the indirect impacts of construction. The roadway is envisioned as the "backbone" in the County's transportation system plan (EA W p. 3) with 6,000 average daily trips. The construction of a high-volume urban highway intersecting the Highway 36 corridor will likely induce additional highway development, comparable to the T.H. 5/I'.H. 36 intersection. Such indirect impacts would make these mitigative measures meaningless. 12. Physical Impacts on Water Resources All three Build alternatives lie partially or completely within the Goetschel Ponds subwatershed. These ponds are landlocked and subject to large water level fluctuations with changing climatic conditions. Because of the lack of an outlet the water levels may persist for long periods. The uncertainty of the flood level is increased because of the possibility of overflow from Clear Lake and other landlocked lakes further to the north. Adding large amounts of impervious surface will increase these fluctuations and raise calculated water levels. Alternative 2 would encroach on the floodplain of both North and South Goetschel Ponds. The minimum roadway elevation is not described in the EAW. A risk assessment should be conducted but, at a minimum, the roadway would have to be elevated to 2 feet above the 100-year flood level.. The normal level of the north pond is Elevation 891.6 while the flood level is to be Elevation 908. The roadway of Alternative 2 would need to be about 20 feet above the normal waterleveI. A limited amount of fill within the waters of the District is permitted by District rules. However, the loss of 87.1 acre-feet of storage would have to be compensated for by excavation of Goetschel ponds or by provision of retention storage of similar hydrologic character (i.e., long-term capacity for infiltration and/or evaporation). . 18. Water Quality-Surface Water Runoff Two of the Districts' water quality goals for Goetschel Ponds are preservation of uses for aesthetic viewing and wildlife habitat. The impacts of roadway construction have not been quantified; almost certainly they would include increased nutrient loading to the ponds, even with partial mitigation by storm water retention ponds. These impacts should be listed in Table 11. Conclusion In light of the characteristics of the watershed in this area, the managers believe that each proposed Build alternative would negatively impact the watershed. Goetschel Ponds area is currently one of the primary receptors of surface water drainage for the involved area. The Build . alternatives all threaten the viability of Goetschel Ponds as aesthetic and wildlife resources. The . . . Ms, Sandra K. Cullen January 23, 1998 Page 3 Each of the proposed Build alternatives also negatively impacts other wetland areas. The Managers believe these impacts would further impair the District's ability to properly manage surface water movement in the area. In addition, the increased area of impervious surface created as a result of each Build alternative further magnifies the problem as it will increase the amount of runoff, as well as increase the potential for water pollution from runoff water contaminated by the petroleum by-products associated with motor vehicles. In view of the real and substantial negative impacts to the watershed resulting from the various Build alternatives, the Managers strongly urges the Washington County Board to adopt the No- Build alternative for this project.

Minutes 1-6-98 Page 2 9. We discussed the letter from David Magnuson advising us that we could not legally move funds from the City Treasury to the newly created endowment fund. Since a number of the donated funds were intended to be an endowment, President Ruch directed Ms. Bertalmio to draft a letter to the city requesting that these funds be set aside in an endowment fund with the city.
