Session and to receive input on legislation important to the City of Stillwater and local
government in general. Senator Laidig stated his support for the Territorial Prison wall,

2. Bill Fierke - Lily Lake water quality project.
.
Mr. Fierke addressed his disappointment to find that the Council intent was to hold off on
Phases 2 and 3 of the Lily Lake Water Quality Project until a future date. City Engineer
Eckles stated that there are two factors that led staff to recommend that we proceed with
Phase I at this time: (1) The extra cost of constructing Phase 2 and 3 independent of a
street reconstruction/rehabilitation project, and (2) new innovations or options may
become apparent as we monitor the performance of Phase 1. Several funding concepts
were discussed. Council directed staffto assemble all the information for funding the
entire project versus funding Phase 1, and also evaluate the cost of the project if we wait
to do Phases 2 and 3 at a future date. Council also directed staff to postpone the public
hearing on this matter until April 6, 1999.
Motion by Councilmember Thole, seconded by Councilmember Zoller directing staff to prepare
a report on the cost and funding ofthe entire Lily Lake Water Quality Project (Phases I, II, III) in

These streets are now the lowest rated streets in the study and are continuing to deteriorate.
The project would involve rehabilitating the sanitary manholes, replacing the galvanized pipe
for water services, replacing sidewalks and installing new catch basins. Total cost of the
project, which includes construction, engineering, and administration, amounts to $810,248.
The project will be financed through assessments and City contributions.

,
Brewers Pond, and parkland development issues and cost along Long Lake. All of these
improvements can be done in
three phases with an approximate total cost of $1.4 million. Phase 1 would include streets,
sanitary, water, storm, street lights and trail improvements at an estimated cost of
$1,009,530. The Phase I improvements which are necessary to allow development between
County Road 5 and Long Lake include approximately $300,000 for the trunk storm sewer
improvement. An alternative revenue source must be found for this portion of the project.
.
Motion by Councilmember Thole, seconded by Councilmember Zoller directing staff to find an

finding a way to control the Lake Level, protect Brown's Creek and maintain water quality
and lake aesthetics. A plan has been developed and will be presented at a public
neighborhood meeting on February 25, 1999.
4. Establishing rates for storm water trunk charge for annexation area.
.
City Engineer Eckles informed Council that the recently passed ordinance establishing trunk
utility charges for the annexation area allows the City to recapture the cost of providing
public utilities to the urban expansion area. The Trout Stream Protection Project is the
primary storm water improvement necessary to allow development of this area. Since
development is now taking place, it is necessary to establish the trunk storm water charge at
this time. The grand total of this project is currently estimated at $3,523,000. in 1999 dollars.
The estimated 863 acres of developable land will share the entire cost of this project. The
commercial and multi-family properties will be charged at a rate that is 125% of the rate
charged for residential property based on the additional storm water runoff that results from
these properties. Therefore, trunk storm water rates would be $3,885. per acre for residential
and $4857. for commercial/multi-family.
Motion by Councilmember Thole, seconded by Coucilmember Zoller adopting Resolution 99-43
setting storm water trunk charges for expansion area.

disclosure provisions ofthe City Charter.
City Attorney Magnuson stated that the amendment to the City Charter that was enacted in

STREETCAR CENTER
We have a vision to take an important part of our community's past Stillwater's
Historic Street Car Building. and bring it into the present as a Nature and Art
Center. Our grassroots group has an interest in nature, the arts and education
that has prompted us to organize. We intend to a form a non-profit corporation
towards promoting this goal.
There is a community need for a place to learn. experience, explore and create.
The urban location of this learning center on Lake McKusick offers a wealth of
natural beauty and learning opportunities. It's proximity to Lake McKusick offers
access to a variety of birds, other wildlife, wetlands, trails and the Browns Creek
Trout Stream.
The Historic Street Car Building (circa 1900), is a two-story brick structure with
1600 sq. ft. on the main floor. It has been nominated for inclusion in the National
Register of Historic Places. This building on a 115 ft. by 230 ft. lot is currently
on the market for sale or for lease with an option to buy. A city park adjoins the
property and has some off-street parking.
Initially, we would like to acquire the Street Car property. Immediately the center
would offer classes and meeting space for scouts, garden clubs and art groups.
Simultaneously we will begin a variety of fundraising projects and events. This
spring, with the guidance of the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and
Master Gardeners, we plan to plant a small prairie garden to introduce the public
to our native prairie grasses and flowers. Additonally, we have plans to install
raised flowerbeds in the park for the elderly and handicapped. This will allow
them to pIant, weed and care for a garden which would be accessible to them.
Through various DNR grants our group will seek. funding to enhance aspects of
Lake McKusick. We are developing a wide variety of classes and events that will
offer the entire community a chance to learn and participate in creating a
healthier enviroment. Many qualified individuals are anxiously awaiting the
opportunity to participate in this project
There is a global and local need for parks and greenspace as our rural areas
become more developed and therefore less accessible. Our planet did not come
with instructions. We need a place that can teach us and help us teach others
about Ollr world.
\Ve look forward to working with you and appreciate any support and direction
you can offer.

Dear Nancy,
In the long history ()f Stillwater Area Schools. there have been bright foresighted,
committed individuals that have left legacies to learning. Your commitment to provide
a science/nature and art resource near l'vlcKusik Lake may be one of the legacies for
learners that are our future.
If the old trolley power converter station is transformed into learning and working
spaces. I am confident that the students of Stillwater Area Schools would be workers
and kamcrs therc. The site dues providc a proximal watcr/wetlands field laboratory.
\Ve do not have sllch a field studv area on school grounds at this time. I know that our
biDlogists amI cnvironmental edL;cators would bc delighted to havc such a site available
so close to our school sites. Having our students serve as interpreters and naturalists
would advance both the learning of our students and OUi' communities. The artistic use
of this facility also presents many possibilities [or our leamcrs and our St. Croix Valley
community of artists.
I support your efforts to provide such an historic facility to this community. Your
work to have it become a center for learning makes it especially interesting to me, and
to this organization. Your vision is clear. This facility could become a valued part of
our future as a community while a clear tie with our rich heritage.
Thank you for the opportunity to discuss your vision amI hopes for the future.

Dear Nancy,
.
Our discussion of project possibilities regarding your site was stimulating. I am glad you
contacted me to discuss your plans. The prospect of combining a historic site with
environmental activities is impressive. Similar projects around the state have won
preservation awards. Please see the enclosed newspaper atiicle.
The site is rich in history and possibility. It includes a variety of trees and understory
plants in addition to colorful annual and perennial beds. The possibilities are endless.
As you know, my background is urban forestry. However; my interests extend far
beyond the fragile root hairs and terminal buds of urban trees. Please consider me when
convening development meetings or an advisory board.
I look forward to rolling. up my sleeves and getting my hands dirty!
Sincerely,

Qp9ple and projects honored
with state preservation awards
By Claude Pecl<
Star Tribune Staff Writer
The corps of more than 50
volunteer architects who helped
St. Peter residents recover from
last spring's devastating tornado
won a 1998 State Preservation
Award Saturday night.
The Preservation Alliance of
Minnesota, a statewide member-
ship organization, also gave 13
other awards to recognize people
and projects that have kept alive
the state's historic resources.
The architects were honored
for their efforts in St. Peter after
the March 29 tornado heavily
damaged the Minnesota River
valley town. The Minnesota His-
torical Society had inventoried
270 historically significant build-
ings in St Peter.
Within days of the storm,
members of the American Insti-
tute of Architects (AIA) from the
Twin Cities area and elsewhere
went to S.t. Peter to consult with
owners of historic properties.
They urged panicky homeowners
not to rush to demolish. If you
must raze buildings, at least save
the old brick for reuse, they
counseled.
Judv Bell, chairwoman of the
town's Historic Preservation
Commission, praised the effort of
the post-tornado visiting archi-
tects. "They took time out on the
spur of the moment," she said,
"and they did a great deal of
good." The owners of the dam-
aged 1870s Nicollet Hotel on
Minnesota Avenue wanted to tear
it down, but one of the volunteer
architects bought it and is reno-
vating it.
List of winners
In addition to AIA Minnesota's
Volunteer Architects, the award
winners were:
>- St. Anthony Park United
Church of Christ, 2124 Com-
monwealth, St. Paul. for a resto-
ration effort by Setter, Leach and
Undstrom architects. Among oth-
er things, the 1914 church de-
signed by Clarence Johnston got
a handicapped-accessible
entrance_
> McDaniel Residence, 314
Dayton Av., St. Paul. Architects
Steve Buetow and Robert Roscoe
helped new owners of the 1880s
home, which had been slated for
demolition, restore it to a single-
family residence.

Dear Nancy;
I am writing to support your plans to develop a nature and art center in your home at Lake
l'vlcKusick. I enjoyed touring the property with you, and it certainly represents an excellent
opportunity to educate people about the natural world. In my work providing ecological
assistance to communities, I find there is a great need for information about natural vegetation,
restoration, and native wildlife. The property's proximity to Lake McKusick and a public park
as well as its accessibility make it ideal in many ways for this kind of venture.
Please let me know if I can be of further assistance in this project.
Sincerely,

Dear Judy and Nancy:
It was a pleasure to meet you last Saturday, at the Lake McKusick wetland walk. It was terrific
to see all the interest, and since we barely covered any ground, there may be good reason to have
a wetlands walle part II. Other environnlental walks might also be possible - spring wildflowers
and/or erosion in a ravine. St Croix floodplain, prairie remnants along the Zephyr corridor,
woodland wildflowers in Jackson WMA. 1 would be happy to help with any of these.
As to your dreams for the development of a nature and arts center on the east end of Lake
McKusick, that is exciting. Enclosed with this note are several information brochures or .
factsheets that may help you with design of the site and establishing native plant communities.
In particular, the creation of a demonstration site for lakeshore plantings would be a plus for this
area. Many people are wary of "butTer zones" because they underestimate the possibilities. An
example on this corner could be really helpful to the educational efforts of many local agencies.
Therefore, also enclosed is a letter of general support for your efforts in that direction. Any
details regarding the level of our involvement in a specific project would have to be worked out
later, and would likely be limited to staff time. But it may apply towards grant matching as in-
kind services.
Feel free to call me when questions come up, or if we can be of further assistance.
Sincerely,

To Friends of Stillwater Parks:
The Washington Soil and Water Conservation District understands that your organization is
working towards the establishment of an Arts and Nature Center at the comer of Owens St. and
McKusick Rd. in Stillwater, Minnesota. As this project site includes the east end of Lake
McKusick, and likely the outlet from the lake to the St. Croix River, it could be significant in
surface water management. This office supports your efforts towards restoring an ecological
buffer zone along the lakeshore. Because of its visibility to the public, it would make a
good demonstration area for lakeshore management and buffer zones, and display of
native plantings. Furthermore, the mix of potential habitats on this site provide many
opportunities for environmental education.
.
Feel free to call us for more information as this project progresses.
Sincerely,

SCRIPTION:
The Minneapolis and St. Paul Suburban Railway Company Office and Power House is a one-story,
.ac-roofed brick structure located on the west side or Stillwat:r near McKusick Lake. The
ctangular building housed a dispatcher's office and passenger waiting room in its front section
j two 600-kilowatt rotary power converters in the rear two-thirds of the structure. The .
~lding rests on a limestone foundation and has limestone window sills. Three types of win
enings are found set into slightly recessed bays: semi-circular arched windows with projecting
'ick hood molds; segmental arched, unadorned windows; and rectangular windows with filled round
'ches above. The segmental arched windows have been filled and lowered to form pairedrectangula
ndows. Windows in one bay have been altered to create a side entrance. The main entry is
'ched and set between flanking arched windows on the front facade. A raised-brick entablat~re
ns along the roof line. The interior has been converted to use as a duplex; dropped ceilings
ve noc intruded on the arched windows as viewed from the exterior. Car barns originally stood
, the rear of the office but were removed in 1932.
Tom Harvey
c:nFICANCE:
The Minneapolis and St. Paul Suburban Railway Company Office and Power House stands as a rare
minder of electric streetcar service between St. Paul and Stillwater via White Bear Lake. In
91, Thomas Low~y electrified his Twin Cities Rapid Transit Company, a combination of Minneapo-
s and St. Paul routes. A subsidiary company, the Minneap9lis and St. Paul Suburban R1ilway
cpany, was fo~ed in 1899 to operate suburban rail~ays extending to outlying towns. The first
~e built extended TCRT lines from Wildwood amusement park on White Bear Lake to Stillwater in
The line linked Stillwater to St. pault brought sportsmen and tourists to the St. Croix,
spur~ed development or summer cottages along the river. The 1906 Stillwate= office and
~er house provided the link betyeen the interurban and local Stil~~ater lines. Electric ir.:ar-
ban service was discontinued in 1932, the office was sold and remodeled into a residence.

.[ This is primarily a natural area protection request
.[ This is primarily an open space restoration request
Site Description: (Include information on size, natural and physical features, past and
current land use and estimated cost)
The site is located on the west side of Stillwater in the Phase II City Expansion Area (see
attached map). A natural resource inventory ofthe Phase II Expansion Area has identified this
site as having potential for a nature preserve based on the condition of the natural communities.
The site is bordered on the north by a railroad line and 27.5 acres of city-owned park; and on the
east, south and west by a tributary to Brown's Creek. The site contains 27 acres and when
combined with the adjacent park site contains nearly 60 acres. The site contains tributaries to
Brown's Creek, a designated Metropolitan Area Trout Stream, old fields, a wood lot and wet
meadow with Tamaracks. The site is a part of the City of Stillwater Brown's Creek greenway
Area as designated in the Comprehensive Plan and Expansion Area ADAR.
A complete natural resource description of the site can be provided with the final nomination.
The current land use is vacant fields and wood lot. A portion of the wood lots appear to be an
old farmstead site, pre-1900. The site is located next to the city park and trial system. An
appraisal of the site has not been completed. Other appraisals of similar vacant sites in the area
would set a value at $400,000 - $600,000.

Subject:
Legislative Action to:
1) Obtain Two Liquor Licenses; and
2) Amend the State Tax Code to Enable the City to Carry Out the Tax
Procedures Set Forth in the Annexation Agreement Between Stillwater
and Stillwater Township.
Legislative Work to Obtain Two New Liquor Licenses:
Legislation to acquire two new liquor licenses will require the following:
. Writing and introduction of bills in both the House and the Senate;
. . Preparing written requests for Hearings;
. Preparation of written materials to explain and justify the request;
. Schedule meetings with the Committee Chairs and leadership, our Legislators,
and myself;
· Attend Hearings of the four Committees to be available for questions should the
issue be discussed without being scheduled on the agenda (not infrequently, this
type of discussion occurs without prior notice);
. Arrange for, and brief City officials for testimony at Hearings;
. Be sure the provisions are included in the omnibus bill when it is brought to the
floor;
. Provide our Legislators with information for floor statements should they be
needed.
.
. Meet with Governor's staff throughout the process to make them aware of the issue,
and to avoid any problems that might result in the Governor not signing the bill into
Law.
~
.
.
.
Page 2. Legislative Issues, Con't.
Problems and/or Difficulties to be Dealt With:
. Because of the growing number of requests by cities throughout the State for liquor
licenses, the Legislature has attempted to limit the number of licenses granted by
the Legislature;
. Any city can grant their own new licenses by holding a referendum election - - -
they do not need legislative action;
. The City of Stillwater is currently holding an "unused" liquor license granted two
years ago for the proposed territorial prison hotel.
Legislative Work to Enact an Exception to the State Tax Code:
. Work closely with City Attorney, Coordinator, Mayor, Council, and staff to fully
understand and prepare the necessary legislative request;
. Meet with Legislative Counsel to discuss bill language and strategies with the Tax
Committees;
. Work with Stillwater Legislators and the Revisors Office to get Legislation
provisions prepared and introduced;
· Preparing written requests for Hearings (All bills must be passed out of the first
policy Committee by March 19, and out of both the House and the Senate by March
31 ;
· Prepare written materials to explain and justify the request;
· Schedule meetings with the Committee Chairs and leadership, our Legislators,
and City Attorney and staff;
. Attend Hearings 0.' all the Committees to be available for questions should the
issue be discussed without being scheduled on the agenda;
. Arrange for, and brief City officials for testimony at Hearings;
. Find a bill that is related to the issue that the Stillwater provision can be attached
that has a good opportunity to be passed and signed by the Governor;
. Provide our Legislators with information for floor statements should they be
needed.
,
Page 3. Legislative Issues, Con't.
. Meet with Governor's staff throughout the process to make them aware of the issue,
and to avoid any problems that might result in the Governor not signing the bill into
Law.
.
Potential Problems and/or Difficulties:
. The omnibus tax bill for the 1999 Session is currently in House/Senate Conference
Committee. It has been passed on the floor of both the House and the Senate. We
will have to find a vehicle on which to attach our provision, one that has a good
opportunity for passage. If our vehicle dies, then we have to start over, and find
another vehicle in which the author will accept our provision.
· The Tax Committee leadership are going to ask why we are coming to the
Legislature to solve a problem that could be resolved by amending the
Consolidation Agreement. They will want to know if the Township will support this
change. If this becomes a major concern, we may need someone from the
Township testifying in support of the change in the Hearings.
Duration of Action, Time Required, and Cost of Services:
Each of the two legislative actions will require a minimum of 16 hours work (32 hours .
total) per month throughout the Legislative Session beginning immediately and
extending through May, 1999. Based on Stillwater's rate of $65 per hour, the total cost
would be $8,320 for work on the two legislative actions. This work will also require
some time of the City Attorney and staff involvement.

Nile Kriesel
City Coordinator
City of Stillwater
216 N. 4th Street
Stillwater, Minnesota 55082
Dear Nile:
Thank you so much for approving our request to sell refreshments in Lowell Park on July 4, 1999. We
have secured refreshments for that date and look forward to having a great time.
We would also like to request approval to sell refreshments (not alcohol) at Pioneer Park on the
same date.
.
As I outlined in my initial request letter, the City of Stillwater Chamber of Commerce will be using the
funds from the sale of refreshments to pay for marketing and advertising costs for Stillwater. Currently.
members of the City Chamber are absorbing the costs of marketing and promotion; with a boost from the
sale of refreshments during the 4th of July, we are hoping to use the funds for paid advertising in such
publications as the Official Twin Cities Visitor Guide and in AAA Home and Away magazine.
Because the City Chamber is a not-for-profit organization, all proceeds from our fund-raising efforts go
back into Stillwater as either promotion and public relations or hard goods such as the snowflake
decorations, street planters and trash receptacles.
We look forward to working with you and City Government as we build a strong and cooperative
community.
Most sincerely,
/kVFUO ~-u~

attn: Tim Tompsen, Parks Director
Dear Tim:
As the city of Stillwater's marketing organization, the City of Stillwater Chamber of Commerce produces
resultsl In just a few short years we've gone from being virtually invisible in the national market to being
noticed in such venerable publications as U.S. News and World Reports, the Chicago Tribune, the
Milwaukee Sentinel, Midwest Living, Better Homes and Gardens, Preservation Magazine, Glasgow
Scotland Herald, AAA, Minnesota Monthly, MinneapolislSt. Paul Magazine as well as the more local
Minneapolis Star Tn"bune and 8t Paul Pioneer Press. We have been featured on Minnesota Public Radio
during our "Stillwater Day" promotion, on WL TE and, more recently, on the air with WCCo. We have a
considerable presence on the Web, as well as with our visitor guide which you can pick up at the Mall of .
America, at the travel information centers which circle the state and from concierges across the metro.
One of the talents the City Chamber possesses is producing results with a miniscule budget. And, while
that is certainly admirable, the times do come when we need funds for paid advertising.
We would like to raise these funds for Stillwater promotion by selling refreshments (not alcohol) in
Lowell Park during the 4th of July fireworks. We would like to have exclusive permission with
prorrts earmarked for Stillwater marketing.
We would appreciate your consideration of this request for 1999 with an automatic renewal in subsequent
years assuming our penormance is up to expectations.
The City of Stillwater Chamber of Commerce appreciates the work of the City and it's officials and looks
forward to working with you as we build a strong and cooperative community.
Most sincerely,
Sunny DeYoung

Letter to National Park Service
At the February 2nd Council meeting, Council directed staff to write a letter to the
National Park Service. This letter was in support of the letter sent to them by the
Heritage Preservation Commission regarding revisions to the National Wild and Scenic
Rivers Act. We are asking the Park Service to address the preservation of historical and
culture resources in the revision of the Wild and Scenic Act.
Letters from the HPC and City of Stillwater were sent to the National Park Service in
Washington, DC by February 8th, which was the final day for comments. Attach is the
. letter sent by the City.

National Park Service
Room 3230
1849 C Street, NW
Washington DC 20240
Re: FR Doc.98-32581 Wild and Scenic Rivers
Dear Mr. Haubert,
On behalf ofthe City of Stillwater, I would like to address the article published in the
Federal Register December 9, 1998, titled Wild and Scenic Rivers. The article is directed
toward establishing uniform standards and procedures by which the Department of the
Interior, through its agencies which administer rivers in the National Wild and Scenic
Rivers System. In considering possible revisions to the original Wild and Scenic Rivers
Act this may be the time to examine situations that are not included in the Act. In
particular, protection and preservation of cultural and historical resources that lie within
its' governing districts.
Stillwater is in a unique position, in that our historic town is located on the St. Croix
River. The St. Croix River in governed by the Wild and Scenic Act. Stillwater has a lift
bridge crossing the river. This bridge is on the National Register of Historical Structures,
and is in danger of being demolished, because the Act does not recognize historic
structures. The Stillwater Heritage Preservation Commission sent you a letter on
February 2, 1999. I would like to take the opportunity to endorse and reiterate the
comments the Commission sent to you amending the original act. These comments were:
1) To the extent that the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act (16 USC 1271-1287) serves
to protect "other values of designated rivers", implementing procedures should
provide equal consideration of various characteristics of a given project.
Specifically, Section 1273 recognizes three types of rivers: (a)wild, (b)scenic, and
(c )recreational. Further, recreational river areas are readily accessible by road and
may have some shoreline development. Section 1278 does not preclude
government assistance to developments below or above rivers that are actually
classified in one of these three ways. Oftentimes, river areas include historic
communities, and one of the objectives of the Act is to maintain the values that
existed at the time a river was designated.
CITY HALL: 216 NORTH FOURTH STILLWATER, MINNESOTA 55082 PHONE: 612-439-6121
Consequently, we suggest to modify 43 CFR Part 39.2 to eliminate bridges and
other roadway construction projects from the definition as related to recreational
areas, which in their nature have different characteristics than wild or scenic
rivers. Indeed, the same reasoning may apply to levee walls and boat ramps;
2) Part 39.4, which describes the review process to be used by federal agencies,
should be amended to provide an exception for bridges in recreational areas;
3) Part 39.4 should be further amended to recognize the importance of, and
therefore exempt, all historical structures in the river areas, or at least those that
are on the National Register.
Finally, we recognize that the governmental process is complex, especially in this
instance where there are many river-administering agencies, besides the US
Department of the Interior. Yet in this context, given the unique role of the US
Department of the Interior, and the National Park Service, to protect the national
heritage, we look for simplified regulations that avoid in their nature any adverse
impact on historic structures. We do believe this is the intent of the US Congress.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
fJ/P/

Larry Buberl has been transporting animals to the St. Croix Animal Shelter for the
last several years. He also worked last year as a part-time Parking Enforcement
Oflicer in downtown Stillwater in the summer months. At the year-end, Nile
pointed out to me that he might be over his 67 allowed days per year to keep him at
aseasoIlal employee. Larry would like to continue in the capacity that he has had in
the paSt. He works approximately 50 days in the summer. He also can be called up
t()lQ1inles per month to transport animals. To avoid any problem with employment
it was recommend that his animal control activities be put on an independent
contract status. His activities for parking control would be seasonal part time
employee status.
Recommend approval of independent contractor contract for animal transport
activities.
Recommend approval of resolution hiring Larry Buberl for parking control duties as
seasonal, part time employee 1999.

Re: Police Officer Testing
I recently checked with the pool of applicants that passed the last testing process in
July and August of1998. Only one candidate is still interested in a full time job as a
police patrolman. I do not believe it is in the best interest of the police department
to ()1]jyJook at one candidate. I have in the budget a full time opening effective July
1,1999. At this time, I would like permission to start the testing process to fill the
position.

Resolution Supporting Tax Credit Affordable Housing Project
February 12, 1999
At the Council Meeting of February 2, 1999, the Council received a letter from the developer of
land directly west of the intersection of Curve Crest Blvd and CR 5 describing a housing
development concept for the area. The concept included single family lots, attached for sale
housing and rental apartments. In order to help make the rental apartments affordable, the
developer requested City financial support ofthe project. The City support is used by the
developer to get points in the competition for tax credit from Washington County HRA.
The attached resolution was developed to fulfill that need. In practical terms, the TIP assistance
would be used to pay for a portion of the Lakeside Park, as shown on the 62nd Street Plan, over
and above the park dedication requirements.
Recommendation: Consideration of Resolution of support.

City of Stillwater
212 North Fourth Street
Stillwater MN 55082
Dear Stillwater City Council,
As you are aware, our group has been working with the city and affected landowners for over a year developing a
plan for the 62nd Street addition on the western edge of town. We own or control the parcels ofland known as the
Richard Anderson property and the Sid White property. We have been working closely with Mr. Russell and Sheri
Buss regarding the proposed uses and designs of the subject property's
I believe we have come to a preliminary resolution on these uses. Ideally our plans are as follows. The piece of
property consisting of approximately 4 acres lying south of the existing drainage ditch and bordering Long Lake
would be donated to the city in exchange for future setoffs to be discussed and negotiated later. I am assuming this
land would forever be placed in parkland and never developed. To the north ofthis parcel we plan on a 13 lot
single-family subdivision. The lots would be a combination of ours (8 ) and Richard Anderson's (5) and conform
to the DNR regulation of20,000 square feet per lot.
The next parcel consisting of approximately 4 acres and lying easterly of said single family lots would be a 34 unit
for-sale townhome development. These townhomes would primarily be single level design, have attached two car
garages, two to three bedrooms and two bathrooms, individual central in-floor heating and air-conditioning
systems, laundry rooms, fireplaces and many other features. Our plans call for marketing these units beginning at
$115,000. We feel they are priced appropriately and want them to move quickly.
The final parcel of Sid White's and Dave Harvieux.'s property (6.5 and 1.0 acres respectively) will consist ofa 52
unit rental townhome development. These townhomes would be of the two and three bedroom variety consisting of
both single and two level designs. Many would be handicapped accessible to accommodate the senior and
handicapped individuals who would reside there. The townhomes would have single stall attached garages,
individual in-floor central heating and air-conditioning systems, laundry rooms, patios, and many more amenities.
The rents for these units would range from $650.00-$800.00 per month.
As I mentioned previously, we intend to secure federal income tax credits on this portion ofthe project. The
competition for these credits in enormous. Therefore, in order to secure them I need the assistance and cooperation
of the city. One of the biggest factors in procuring these credits is to provide documentation to the MHFA
(Minnesota Housing and Finance Agency) that the city is extending financial support for a percentage of the total
project costs. Please let me make this clear that I am not asking for a "hand-out". I only want to secure the tax
credits so that this whole project can proceed. I have some suggestions on how we can pursue this idea without
putting the city at financial risk and allowing us to compete successfully for these tax credits. The deadline for
submitting my tax credit application is February 18, 1999.
I will communicate my thoughts with Mr. Russell and could possibly attend the council's next afternoon meeting
or workshop to discuss this further. We have retained the Stevens Engineering firm to provide the necessary
services for this development. They are currently working on a site plan and design for the project. I have the

Downtown Parking Commission
Possible Change in Pay Permit Parking Program
February 12, 1999
rv/
The current Permit Pay Parking Program is in effect twelve months a year. The cost of a permit is $10/month.
During summer months (May-October), parking spaces are a premium and the program is effective at directing
employees to designated lots. When the Pay Parking Program is not in effect (November-April), ample parking
is available because downtown activity slows. A portion of the summer pay lots could be available for the
permit parkers.
Recognizing this condition, the Downtown Parking Commission recommended the City Council consider
operating the Permit Pay Parking Program during summer months only (May-October). With thereduction in
months of operation to compensate for lost revenues, the Commission recommends increasing the rate from
$10/month to $15/month.
A review of revenues from the program for 1998, as listed below, shows that $22,310 was generated over the
12-month period:

$22,310
It is difficult to estimate how the change in program would effect revenues.
Staff feels the program change may work but it will be difficult to get permit purchasers to buy permits during
the six-month summer season. This will result in added confusion, administration and enforcement costs and
reduce revenues. Staff feels the program is working fine as it currently exists. Possibly a portion of the pay lots
can be opened to permit parking during the off-season for permit parking convenience but the existing program
should remain in force (KIS).
Recommendation: Consideration of change to downtown permit parking program.

Annual Report on Downtown Pay Parking Program
February 12, 1999
The Downtown Pay Parking Program operates five months from May 15 to October 15. This
year the parking machines were upgraded to provided change and the program was modified to
allow 1-1/2 hours of parking for $1 as well as the regular $3/day rate.
Using proceeds from the program, the machines were upgraded ($/9,978) and the South Main
Lot was reconstructed and River Lot overlaid (10 spaces were added, $44,826). The program
paid for all capital costs and added $3,970.34 net revenues to city coffers.
Attached to this report is the monthly statements for 1997 and 1998. As can be seen, the
program grossed $80,603 in 1997 and $115,893.81 in 1998. Changes in the program were made
in 1998 that reduced revenues and increased operating costs so the numbers are not directly
comparable.
The Downtown Parking Commission is considering recommending changes in the program for
1999 (UBC Lot improvements, Olive Street pay lot) these recommendations will be forthcoming
at your March,2, 1999 meeting.

Shoreland Management Ordinance; except as referred to herein, where it shall an amendment to be known
as, "This Ordinance".
SECTION 2 INTENT AND PURPOSE
2.1
Purpose. This Ordinance is adopted for the purpose of:
(a) Regulating permitted uses of Lily Lake, Long Lake and McKusick Lake ("the
lakes") and, use of certain practices within the subwatersheds to the lakes. The use
of certain practices within the defmed subwatersheds of the lakes will be regulated
to preserve and enhance the water quality of the lakes, prevent erosion into the
lakes, fIx nutrients, preserve shore land aesthetics, preserve historic values, prevent
bank slumping, protect fIsh and wildlife habitat, and preserve the economic and

1
3.2 Policy. The uncontrolled use of the waters and shorelands within the sub watersheds of the
lakes, as defined in Section 4.1, affects the public health, safety and general welfare by contributing to .
pollution of public waters and degradation of the environmental and aesthetic values and by impairing the
local tax base. Therefore, it is in the best interests of the public health, safety and general welfare to
provide for the wise development, use, and conservation of the waters and shorelands within the defined
sub watersheds of the lakes. The Minnesota legislature has delegated responsibility to local governments of
the state to regulate the subdivision, development and use of shorelands of public waters and thus to
preserve and enhance the quality of surface waters, to manage the effects of shoreland crowding, to
conserve the economic, historic and natural environmental values of shorelands, and to provide for the wise
use of waters and related land resources. This responsibility is hereby recognized by the City of Stillwater.
SECTION 4 GENERAL PROVISIONS AND DEFINITIONS
4.1 Jurisdiction. The provisions of this Ordinance apply to the subwatersheds of the lakes.
A subwatershed includes lands that drain runoff or surface water directly or indirectly into the lakes or any

4.2 Compliance. The use of the waters of the lakes, the use of any shore land of the lakes, the
alteration of natural vegetation, and certain other practices within the subwatersheds of the lakes, as defined
in Section 4.1, shall be in full compliance with the terms of this Ordinance and other applicable regulations.
4.3 Interpretation. In their interpretation and application, the provisions of this Ordinance shall
be held to be minimum requirements and shall be liberally construed in favor of the governing body and .
shall not be deemed a limitation or repeal of any other powers granted by state statutes.
4.4 Severability. If any section, clause, provision or portion of this Ordinance is adjudged
unconstitutional or invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of this Ordinance shall not
be affected thereby.
4.5 Abrogation and Greater Restrictions. This Ordinance is in addition to and not in lieu of
other official controls adopted by the City Council of the City of Stillwater or the Minnesota Department
of Natural Resources. Where the standards, regulations or provisions contained in this Ordinance are
inconsistent or in conflict with the standards, regulations or provisions of the separate covenants running
with the land in each of the developments described in Section 4.1, any provisions of the Minnesota
Department of Natural Resources I Statewide Standards for Management of Shore land Areas (7/3/89) (the
"DNR Statewide Minimum Standards"), or the provisions of any other applicable covenants, statutes, rules,
regulations or ordinances, the most restrictive provisions shall govern in order to preserve, protect and
enhance the water quality, natural environmental economic and historic values and aesthetic beauty of the
subwatersheds of the lakes.
4.6 Definitions. Unless specifically defined below, words or phrases used in this Ordinance
shall be interpreted so as to give them the same meaning as they have in common usage and so as to give
this Ordinance its most reasonable application. For the purpose of this Ordinance, the words "must and

contained in this ordinance.
Pesticides (Insecticides, herbicides, Fungicides and Other Chemicals).

Extension Service, the Washington County Soil & Water Conservation District or
other competent professional to diagnose properly the Pests, disease or other
vegetative problem, and to determine if pesticide use is justified or if there are

SUBJECT: Lakeshor~ Fertilizer Regulations
Gen::lemen:
I'V2 ::-eviewed a draft of the ordinance proposing certain restric-
tion of the 'Use of fertilizers, pesticides, and other chemicals
aruunct the Cit:y'~ lakes. I would like to offer the several ob-
s8:.c""ations and comments.
1. ThE:: intent of this ordinance is laudable, and tlle City Coun-
ci~. is to be commended for its conce~ for the quality of the wa-
tE::::: L"l. oU.r lakes. However / it appears to apply only to those
prc'peyt.ies which lie along the shores of the lakes specified by
the ordinance. Unless this ordinance is applied to the entire
city, ita impac~ will be minimal.
US~_!lO the eastern shore of Long Lake as an example, the ordinance
would apply to less than t""enty property owners. It would not
com:ro::' the types and application of fertilizers and pesticides
in ~h~ rest of Croixwood, the Highlands, Autumn Woods and the
cO~wnercial proper~ies as far east as Northwestern Ave. The storm
sewers for all of these areas drain into Long Lake. (I believe
tha~ some parts of this area drain directly into ~he lake withouc
intermediate ponding.) The chemical load from these areas will
fa:r exceed the slight contribution from a mere eighteen or twenty
prnperties.
2. Cert.ain parts at the proposed ordinance call for soil test-
ing. The ordinance is silent as to acce~table test agencies.
Th~ lawn service i use performs this function as ~art of t~eir
se:vice. Is this acceptable or must I now engage a testing labo-
ra'cory to comply:.vith the ordinance?

.
3. :3ec!:ion 5.2 of the ordinance refers to "(Ineecticides, herbi-
ciCl6S, Fungicides and Ot.her Chemieals) II but then proceeds to deal
ODJ.y with pesticid~s, leaving the intent with regard to the other
compounds is ambiguous in the extreme. Are the other compr.)unds
prc;.libiced? Are they controlled? If controlled, in what manner?
4. Pesticides are often sprayed around the foundat~ons of ~ouses
wh&n used to control ~~tS, spiders, roaches and similar pests.
Is it the intent of the proposed ordinance to control this use of
a Li",sti~ide?
5. The use of herbicides to control aquatic vegetation (water
lili~~, loosestrife, etc.) ia allowed by the State under permit
h'cm the local Soil & Water Conservation District. Would this be
all~)wed by the ordinance?
I offer these comments as a property owner On Long Lake, anc In
no o-cher ca.pacity. My first point expresses my principal con-
ce,nL However, it. is evident that parts of this proposed ordi-
tli;u.::e lack specificity, and need additional stUdy. Thank yeu for
YO'W4~ consideration.

RE: Stillwater Radisson Hotel & Suites/Territorial Prison Site
Dear Mr. Russell:
Pursuant to OUT conversation of last week, this letter is sent as an update on the hotel project Since our
meetings last October we have been working diligently in putting the project tugether. A.s you will recall,
when we met last October we had basically all of the 'pieces of the pozzle" put together. Unfortunately,
as you will also recall, the financial markets in October were very shaky due to the Asian financial crisis.
Just after Ollr meeting last October. our lenders home office from SanFrancisco called their regional office
in Chicago and basically told them "no more botelloans". Individuals who provide fInancing in the horel
industry will confinn that the conduit lemlilli for hotels is basically nonexisteIlt. As a result, we
immediately contacted another local lending source and negotiated wim them through December. Their
final proposal was unacceptable for the struCture of the project.
Currently, we have executed a Placement Agent Relationship Agreement with John G. Kinnard & Co-. a
local investment fIrm. We have provided them a significant cash deposit for mem to place the fInancing.
sell me historic tax credits and TIF bonds. We have also signed an extension of the Franchise License
Agreement with Radisson and paid them additional funds. John G- Kinnard & Co. intends to place the
fmancing through a consortium of local banks. We e~ecuted the Agreement with them in January and 1
believe we will have good newS within a week or so.
I have also had a conversation with Mr. Dave Magnuson and Mr. Dick Ward our contact at Kinnard.
That conversation related to issues with the Development Agreement that we entered into with the City of
Stillwater, principally as it relates to the structure of the tax inCTemcnt financing, 1 have been in contact
with the Washington County Assessor's office and intend to meet with the Assessor within the next week.
He was on vacation and is out of the office for personal reasons until tomorrow. The meeting will relate

to the potential increase in the tax increment and minimum assessment as a result of the im;rt:.aSed scope of
the project.
Hopefully, this is what you are looking for in the way of an update. If you have additional questions,
please feel free to contact me. If you would like to speak with anyone else concerning the project
including Mr. Wan1 uf Johu G. Kinnard & Co. or anyone from our investment group in Chicago I would
be happy to have a conference call with any of them and any city officials or staff.
Very truly yours,

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and Council
FR: City Coordinator
RE: Conflict of Interest Ordinance
DA: February 12, 1999
Discussion:
The agenda for the meeting includes the second reading of an ordinance enacting the
Conflict of Interest provisions as developed by the Charter Commission. I have some
questions about the ordinance that came to my attention subsequent to the first reading of
the ordinance. The City Attorney has been out of his office this past week so I did not get
a chance to review the proposed Conflict OfInterest ordinance with him prior to the
agenda and packet distribution.
One of the questions I had was in regards to public employees. According to my recall
and per the attached memorandum that the City Attorney gave to the Council at the July
7, 1998 meeting, "Section 7.10 was changed to eliminate public employees from the
persons effected by this section". However, the ordinance that is now before the Council
includes employees that are "appointed or hired to a position having supervising and
decision making authority in the City of Stillwater including but not limited to... (c) the
department head of each City department... .(t) any other person designated by the City
Council from time to time". Perhaps I missed something and these individuals were
intended to be included. In any event this should be clarified at the meeting.
Further, I think that Subd. 3. Disclosure Required is a little excessive and that the
disclosure of this information need only be required if and when a valid question arises
regarding a potential conflict of interest.
Finally, I think the penalty (up to $3000 and/or up to one year in jail) for violating the
provisions of this ordinance is extremely excessive compared to the penalties for
committing serious crimes and should, therefore, also be considered.
Recommendation:
Council clarify certain provisions of the proposed ordinance regulating conflict of interesh

Memorandum
February 10, 1999
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Klayton H. Eckles
City Engineer
SUBJECT: Walkway/Dock Cafe
DISCUSSION:
Attached is a letter from the Corps of Engineers providing an update on Stage 3 of the Levee
project. The letter also refers to a walkway in front ofthe Dock Cafe to be constructed as suggested
by Short, Elliott and Hendrickson. This walkway would be considered a "betterment to the project",
therefore the City would be required to pay all costs associated with the concrete walkway.
RECOMMENDATION:
I recommend that this walkway be constructed in front of the Dock Cafe because there is not
a formal pathway in that location and that the City agree to pay for the costs of the walkway if the
cost is less than $6,000.00.
ACTION REQUIRED:
If Council concurs with the recommendation they should pass a motion directing the City
Engineer to convey to the Corps of Engineers that the City of Stillwater agrees to pay for the costs of
the walkway if the cost is less than $6,000.00.

Dear Mayor Kimble:
Late last year, we received the preliminary results of the
feasibility study for Stage 3 of the Stillwater flood control
project. These early results indicated the benefit/cost (B/C)
ratio for Stage 3 was 0.34. This is much less than the 1.0
threshold for project feasibiliti. Therefore, the project
design team and I have been reviewing the feasibility study's
assumptions and calculations to ensure it incorporated all .
potential benefits associated with the flood wall. In
conducting this review, we have also been coordinating with your
city engineer and city planner. Although we have not yet found
a way to capture Stillwater's historical value in the financial
terms needed for the feasibility study, we may have discovered
new potential benefits for the project relating to the city's
sewer system. Klayton Eckles has provided us with information
indicating that flood events significantly impact Stillwater's
sewer treatment costs. The benefit of reduced treatment costs
provided by the flood wall were not factored into the original
feasibility study and should help to increase the B/C ratio.
Furthermore, we are exploring new wall designs that could
provide higher levels of flood protection at a lower
construction cost. In particular, we are investigating
"invisible wall" designs. Invisible floodwalls are constructed
using aluminum stop logs that can be added or removed to match
the flood threat. Using this design, the city could quickly
build a floodwall to protect against a laO-year flood 'event.
Thecity.couldalsodisassemble the wall when the water receded
to provide unobstructed views and access to the river. Because
there is no actual wall built-during construction (just the .
foundation), invisible walls may be less expensive than
Ponied on (1) Recyded Paper

traditional floodwalls. If we can find an invisible wall design
that provides protection against a 100-year flood event at the
cost of our original wall design, that alone will raise the SIC
ratio to 0.65. I will keep you informed on our progress in this
matter. I expect to have a new SIC ratio calculated in April.
In addition to reviewing Stage 3, we have been finalizing
the design of Stage 2. As part of this effort, the SEH
engineers suggested using reinforced concrete to construct the
walkway in front of the Dock Cafe. Although a concrete walkway
would require the least amount of maintenance, it would be
considered a betterment to the project since no formal pathway
currently exists in that location. As such, the city of
Stillwater would be required to pay all costs associated with
the concrete walkway. Please have your city engineer contact me
at his earliest convenience when you have made a decision about
this matter. I will then incorporate your decision into the
project design.
If you have any questions regarding the above information,
please contact me at (651) 290-5010.
Sincerely,
/Lt{)~

In response to concerns and questions raised by McKusick Lake area homeowners, the
City of Stillwater has undertaken a McKusick Lake Water Management and Quality
Study. This study has examined alternative methods of managing the lake level of
McKusick Lake, wetlands north of the lake, and the proposed Browns Creek Trout
Stream Protection Plan. Engineers from Bonestroo and Associates and City staffwill
present the lake management ideas, possible changes from the original plan, the impact of
lake elevations and will allow as much time as necessary to answer questions and. discuss
ideas with the neighborhoods.

Re: Stillwater Lift Bridge
TH 36/STH 64
Stillwater, MN/Houlton, WI
Dear Mayor Kimble:
.
Thank you for your participation in the meeting last week
regarding the disposition of the historic Stillwater Lift
Bridge. It was an important and necessary first step in
resolving this difficult issue and to begin developing an
acceptable mitigation plan for the new river crossing. While
the task before us is daunting, I was encouraged by the positive
and cooperative attitude of the meeting participants.
At the conclusion of the meeting, when asked about future
direction, I was unable to provide a definitive answer because
at the time I was unsure as to how the process would proceed.
However, following the general meeting, staff from several
agencies met to discuss a course of action based on what we had
heard, and a timetable. It was agreed that a subgroup
consisting of the National Park Service, Advisory Council on
Historic Preservation, City of Stillwater, Congressman Bill
Luther's Office, Minnesota and Wisconsin Departments of Natural
Resources, Minnesota and Wisconsin State Historic Preservation
Offices, Minnesota and Wisconsin Departments of Transportation
and Federal Highway Administration would begin immediately to
develop a draft mitigation plan for the new crossing. Each of
these organizations and individuals was considered to have
critical responsibilities or authorities under relevant laws and
regulations or a paramount stake in the outcome. The draft
mitigation plan will then be presented to the public and other
agencies and groups for additional input and refinement.
.
Two open houses are scheduled to present project information to
the public and other interested parties. These open houses are
scheduled for February 25, 1999, from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at
the St. Joseph Town Hall at the Intersection of County Trunk
2
.
Highways E and V in St. Joseph, Wisconsin and for March 2, 1999,
from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at the Washington County Gove~nment
Center at 14949 62nd Street North in Stillwate~, Minnesota.
Also envisioned, but not yet scheduled, is a follow-up meeting
of the same group which attended the January 27, 1999, meeting.
The purpose of the meeting is to have a group discussion of the
proposed mitigation plan. We will notify you of the time and
location of this meeting once it has been scheduled. In the
mean time, we encourage you to offer your ideas for mitigation
to any of the agencies or individuals involved in the subgroup.
We anticipate an initial draft of a mitigation plan to be ready.
in a few weeks. It will include many of the constructive
measures which were offered at the January 27, 1999, meeting.
While it will not be easy, I sincerely believe that it will be
possible to resolve this issue by the May 1, 1999, target we set
for ourselves.
Thank you again for your contributions at the January 27, 1999,
meeting. We anticipate sending out the meeting minutes next
week. If you have any questions regarding the process please
contact Cheryl Martin in our office at (651)291-6120.

and state aids over the next two years.
Hearing on LGA set for
Tuesday
The Senate Property Taxes and Local
Government Budget Division will hold
an informaticnal hearing on LGA at
4 p.m., TueSday, Feb. 16. Sen. Sandy
Pappas (DFL-5t. Paul), chair of the
divisicn, has asked representatives of
the League and other city organize-
tJons to give their perspectives on the
strengths and weaknesses at the LGA
program.
.
The governor has prcposed creating
a reform commission study ~ate aids
and property taxes. If his proposal is
embraced by the Legislature, major
changes to LOA this year are less
likely. The hearing Is designed to give
division memoors information an the
origins of LGA, what its purposes are,
and how it achieves its g0a4s. The
committee is net expected to take any
formal action atthe hearing.
Report Critical of TJF and
Economic Development in
Minnesota
On Wednesday moming, the Good
Jobs First Project held a Capitcl press
conference to unveil a report critical
of Minnesota's state and local ec0.-
nomic development poiic'f. The report
critici4ed Minnesota for using "exces-
sive" government subsidies for private
buSnesses tf'I.at have ultimately only
prcducad a few, low wage jobs for
Minnesotans. The Good Jobs First
Project was completed by the Institute
on Taxation and E~nomic Policy of
Washington, D.C.
The project analyzed roore than 550
economic development disclosure
reports, tracking more 1han $176
million in loans, grants and tax incre-
ment financing by cities, regional
bodies and state agencies. The report
focused on 38 development and
redevelopment projects where eac."l
job "created' reportedly cost taxpay-
ers more than $100,000. The report
did net evaluate the success of T1F
in retaining businesses, providing
housing, redeveloping blighted areas
or any other goals of TIF. Tne report
concludes thatwithcut standards and
goals, "the subsidies shew no positive
relationship to wages, and serne are
simply subsidizing corporate reloca-
tion within the state."
Although the press conference
was well attended by 1he media, little
coverage was given to the report and
its findings. However, TIF continues to
be criticized in and around the Capitol
and we expedthat both houses will
o:lnsider modHic.aticns to the TIF
statutes yet this session.
City-Speeific TIF Bills Heare
The House Local Government Commit-
tee heard severai TIF biils, including
a bill for the city of Milaca. The biil
seeks to retroadiveiy authorize
pooling for a district created before
1982. The ability of pre-1982 dis1rids
to pool increment has come under
fire in recent months based on the
findings and interpretations of law
by the state auditor's office. Rep. Ron
Abrams (R-Minnetonka) asked if the
city would be willing to decertify the
district as soon as all obligations were
satisfied. This requirement was added
to the provisions tor Foiey and
Deephaven in last year's omnibus ta;t
bill. This may become the quid pro
quo for any bill seeking pre- , 982
peeling authority. The bill was passed
out of committee to the Tax Committee
without recommendation.
Y2k Jimited immunity bill to
be heard Monday
On Monday at ncon, the Senate
Judiciary Committee will hear testi-
mony from the League, other state
aid local government representatives
and the state bar asscciation at the
first hearing for legislation that would
limit liability of state and local govern-
ment for Y2k claims. S.F. 299 (Kelley,
S.; Day; Olson; Mae) would exclude
stats or IccaJ government from Y.2l<
claims if those governmental units
have made reasonable efforts to
correct or lessen Y2k prcblems
and have disclosed (to the state}
the potential Y2l< problems that o:luld
r.ot reascnably be corrected. The bill
cetails Y2k disclosure requirements
and sets forth a number of other
prccadures designed to help resolve
claims before they result in litigation.

STILLWATER TOWN BOARD SPECIAL MEETING
January 25, 1999 Town Hall 7:30 P.M.
PRESENT: Chairperson Louise Bergeron, Supervisors Jerry
Hicks, Ken Laboda, David Johnson and Sheila Marie
Untiedt. Also, Planning Commissioners Sandy
Fundingsland, David Laird and Carole Yoho and
Planner Meg McMonigal.
Pursuant to notice in the Stillwater Evening Gazette, a meeting
was held to discuss the comprehensive plan.
The comprehensive plan was reviewed and the following changes
were discussed.
.
cover page - item D. should be changed to Natural
Resources
page 1, first paragraph, last sentence should include
reference to Lake Elmo to the south.
page 2, population growth figures should include the
date for the source of the figures
page 6, second bullet under "Policies" - change
"transportation facilities" to "roads and right-of-ways"
page 8, "Assessment Policy" - the Assessment Policy
should be a separate document that can be referred
to rather than a part of this document. That way
changes can more easily be made. Add wording to
note that assessment policies are subject to review.
Appendix B (referred to under "Design Standards")
should also be deleted.
page 10, Transit - change first sentence to: "There are
not any bus routes in the Township. There are two (2)
routes into ..." Also a reference to the park and ride
lot at the new recreational facility should be added.
transportation map - temporary cul-de-sacs should be
identified with possible future connections shown.
Abandoned roads should be deleted - research needs
to be done to identify these areas and the County map
also needs to be updated. Language in the document
should point out that many of the cul-de-sacs in the
Township are temporary. The text should also indicate
that connections are included but not limited to those
shown on the map.
page 11, first paragraph, second sentence, should read:
"With additional growth and development within the
Township, there is ..."
page 11, second bullet under goals, change "aesthetics"
to "natural amenities"
page 12 - change third criteria for park locations
from "agricultural land" to "open land"
page 13 - better define "active" and "passive" parks
