Charter Commission
Memo
f-' 5/9/17
t?.; J
To: Mayor and Council members
From: Kathy Czar, Charter Commission Chair (651-430-1819)
Date: 03/05199
Re: Discussion of Proposed Charter Amendment
.
The Charter Commission has been discussing possible changes to the Charter that
would define the role of the City Coordinator/Administrator and darify how that
position relates to the pO'Ners and responsibilities of the Mayor and Councilmembers.
At this point, 'Ne 'A'Ould like to meet with you for a 'NOrkshop on this topic. Endosed
are three documents that will give you some idea of the 'NOrk we have done thus far.
1. Proposed Charter Revisions - talking points on changes to the Charter regarding
the administration of city government.
2. Background Information on the Council-Manager Form of Government - material
provided by the International City/County Management Association.
3. Possible Charter Revisions - two different options for changes to the charter.
Option 1 would amend the Charter to reflect the current system of administration.
Option 2 'NOuld give the City Administrator additional authority to hire and fire line
staff.
We would appreciate having the opportunity to talk with you about this issue. Please
let us know when we can schedule a 'NOrkshop. In the meantime, if you have any
questions or comments, please let us know.
Thank you.

Back2round Information:
An Overview of the Council-Mana2er Form of Government
(International City/County Management Association brochure, 10/95)
What is the council-manager form of government?
The council-manager form is the system of local government that combines the strong political
leadership of elected officials in the form of a council, with the strong managerial experience of
an appointed local government manager. The form establishes a representative system where all
power is concentrated in the elected council and where the council hires a professionally trained
manager to oversee the delivery of public services.
Is it a responsive form of government?
In council-manager government, councilmembers are the leaders and policy makers elected to
represent various segments of the community and to concentrate on policy issues that are
responsive to citizens' needs and wishes. The manager is appointed by the council to carry out
policy and ensure that the entire community is being served. If the manager is not responsive to
the council's wishes, the council has the authority to terminate the manager at any time. In that
sense, the manager's responsiveness is tested daily.
What is the council's function?
The council is the legislative body; its members are the community's decision makers. Power is
centralized in the elected council, which approves the budget and determines the tax rate, for
example. The council also focuses on the community's goals, major projects, and such long-
term considerations as community growth, land use development, capital improvement plans,
capital financing and strategic planning. The council hires a professional manager to carry out
the administrative responsibilities and supervises the manager's performance.
What is the manager's function?
The manager is hired to serve the council and community and to bring to the local government
the benefits of training and experience in administering local government projects and programs
on behalf of the governing body. The manager prepares a budget for the council's consideration;
recruits hires, and supervises the government's staff; serves as the council's chief advisor; and
carries out the personnel policies. Councilmembers and citizens count on the manager to provide
complete and objective information, pros and cons of alternatives, and long-term consequences.
Does the manager participate in policy determination?
The manager makes policy recommendations to the council, but the council mayor may not
adopt them and may modify the recommendations. The manager is bound by whatever action
the council takes
Where does the mayor fit in?
Mayors in council-manager communities are key political leaders and policy developers In the
case of the council, the mayor is responsible for soliciting citizen views in forming these policies
and interpreting them to the public. The mayor presides at council meetings, serves as the
spokesperson for the community, facilitates communication and understanding between elected
and appointed officials, assists the council in setting goals and advocating policy decisions, and
serves as a promoter and defender of the community In addition, the mayor serves as key
representative in intergovernmental relations The mayor, council and manager constitute a
policy-development and management team.
Can the manager be fwed?
Managers serve at the pleasure of the council. They can be fired by a majority vote of the
council, consistent with local laws, ordinances, or employment agreements they may have with
the council. Control is always in the hands of the elected representatives of the people.

ProDosed Charter Revisions
The Charter Commission recommends that the Charter be amended to reflect the current
management model and the roles of the Mayor, Council and City Coordinator.
It would be beneficial to the citizens of Stillwater to have the current roles and responsibilities of
Mayor, City Council and City Coordinator spelled out in the Charter.
The current management model has evolved as Stillwater has grown. It works well for the city
and has fostered efficiency and accountability B"y addressing the structure of government in the
Charter, the City Council can assist citizens in understanding how their government operates and
guarantee continuity when there is a change in council membership or staffing.
-
The Charter also needs to be amended to eliminate language that is ambiguous or inconsistent
with other sections describing the roles of elected officials. For example, the Mayor is described
as 'the "CEO" of the city, but there is no explanation of what that term means in the context of
city government.
The Charter Commission is also recommending that the City Coordinator's title be changed to
City Administrator to reflect the responsibilities that have been added to the position over the
years.
Overview of the Council-Coordinator Model in Stillwater
What model of government is now in place in Stillwater?
Stillwater has a part-time Mayor and City Council. They have delegated the day-ta-day
management of the city to a City Coordinator who serves as chief administrative officer of the
city and is responsible for the proper administration of all the policies of the city.
The City Coordinator supervises the administration of all departments; researches and assists in
developing and recommending solutions to problems; attends and participates in all meetings of
the city council; administers personnel matters and recommends all full-time appointments and
terminations for council approval; coordinates annual and long-range work programs for the city;
and coordinates submission of the annual budget to the council.
Source: City Coordinator Job Description
What does the Charter say about city mabagement?
The Charter does not specify how the administrative functions of the city will be carried out.
The Charter now reads'
7.02 City officials. The administrative powers, authority and duties of the various City
officials, not otherwise provided for shall be determined and assigned among such
officials by the Council. The Council shall set rules, regulations and orders as may be
necessary or proper to secure economy and efficiency. No official or employee shall
contract debts to bind the City or make any improvements in the City, unless authorized
by a majority vote of the Council.
\Vhat do other official city documents say about the administration of the city?
.
The Policies and Procedures manual says the City Coordinator is ''responsible for insuring the
effective administration of these policies" However, the policies referred to are limited to
personnel matters and do not include budget, financial management or administration. The City
Coordinator's job description referenced above has been approved by the City Council and is in
force, although it is not part of either the Charter or the Policies and Procedures manual
The Charter Commission is recommending that the Charter be amended to include a summary of
the job responsibilities of the City Coordinator. In order to put this job description in the correct
context, the Charter Commission is also recommending that a summary of the job
responsibilities of the Mayor and City Councilmembers be added to the Charter.
Prooosed Chan2es in Personnel Policies and Procedures
What changes could be made to improve the council-coordinator model now in place?
The City Administrator could be given the authority to hire and fire staff
The Charter Commission contacted the cities of Brooklyn Park, White Bear Lake, Anoka and
Crystal to determine whether their city managers were authorized to hire and fire staff In all
four cities, the city manager has the authority to hire and fire. In Anoka, the city manager must
have the approval of the Council to hire and fire department heads. Police Chiefs and Fire .
Chiefs are also hired and fired by the Councils in each city.
The White Bear Lake city manager noted that giving the chief administrator the authority to hire
and fire staffkeeps politics out of personnel matters and helps the city run more efficiently.
The Charter Commission has had the most difficulty developing a recommendation on this
change A minority of the Commission believes this power should be retained by the City
Council. The majority recommends that the City Administrator be given the authority to hire
and fire line staff, but that key city officials, such as the Police Chief, Fire Chief and City
Attorney, continue to be appointed by the City Council, with the assistance and advice of the
City Administrator.
Conclusion
What could happen if no changes are made in the Charter at this time?
Clearly, there will not be any problems while the current Mayor, Council and City Coordinator
are in place. But, inevitably, there will be change') in the makeup of the Council and the staff.
To avoid possible confusion and problems during future transitions in leadership, it is important
that the City document what is working so well now.

Buffalo, MN 55313
Dear Judge Meyer:
On Monday evening, the members of the Stillwater Charter Commission voted to
recommend the appointment of Wayne Anderson to the Charter Commission to fill the
vacancy caused by the resignation of Don Valsvik. Mr. Valsvick's term expires May 1,
2000.
. .
We believe Mr. Anderson's legal background and his experience practicing law in
Stillwater will make him a valuable member of the Charter Commission.
Tim Old has resigned from the Charter Commission, effective May 15, 1999. Mr. Old's
term also expires May 1,2000. I will ask the City of Stillwater to publish a notice of this
vacancy. The Charter Commission plans to meet with applicants at its next meeting on
May 17dt at 7:00 p.m. in Stillwater City Hall.
Thank you for considering our recommendation in the appointment process.
Sincerely,
,~~~

Dear Judge Meyer;
The demands on both my personal and professional time have greatly increased over the
course of the last year, as a result I find that I have less and less time to give the level of
commitment which I believe the Charter Commission deserves. So it is with a great deal of
sadness I find that I must resign my position with the City of Stillwater Cha~er Commission
before the end of my term which expires on the 1st of May 2000. The Comm~ssion has a
workshop scheduled with the Stillwater City Council for the 4th of May in which I would like to
participate and for this reason I would prefer my resign'ation to take effect on the 15th of May
1999. I have enjoyed immensely the time I have worked with the Charter Commission and
appreciate the opportunity to give of my time to our community. .

Re: River Town Art Festival 1999
.
St. Croix Events will manage the River Town Art Festival this year. The spring
art &ir was previously put on by the Stillwater Area Chamber of Commerce. I have
been working with Dave Eckberg on the details of the eVent related to the police
departDient. We have agreed on the beer garden size, location, signage, fencing,
liquor security, noise, crowd management, insurance, hours of operation, police
powers; and hold harmless and indemnify the city. A contract is being drawn up by
the ~ attomey addressing these issues, but is not yet completed.
Dave Eckberg will be appearing in :front of the council to ask for barricades,
electrical hook ups, exclusive use of the park and a $500 donation to hire off duty
police to police the event. This is how it was done last year.
I have already scheduled extra people for the event. The reason he is asking for
the donation is it saves the city approximately $200 in wages. The officers' off duty
rate is $25.00 per hour rather than $45.00 per hour overtime rate paid by the city.
Recommend approval contingent upon signed contract addressing above issues.

1. Report on request for City consideration of purchase of residence at 518 North Owens
Street for a nature and arts center.
City Coordinator Kriesel updated Council on the possible purchase of the residence at
518 North Owens Street. Mr. Kriesel explained that the appraised value of this property
is $225,000 with $30,000 to $50,000 in costs to bring the building up to code. He also
explained that this purchase was not included in the 5 year CIF plan and that currently the
City does not have the fInancial resources to fund such a project. Fire ChiefKallestad
updated Council on the existing code issues with this building. He felt it would be
diffIcult and expensive to convert this building into a public building. Nancy Brown also
informed Council that she felt that once the initial step was taken to purchase and/or lease
the building that others in the community would step forward to contribute and other
funding options would be available. Both Councilmember Zoller and Councilmember
Bealka expressed their concerns regarding the City's ability to fund this project.

April 20, 1999
3, McKusick Lake Analysis and Management Plan - discussion continued from April 6th. .
City Engineer Eckles explained that as part of the Trout Stream Protection Plan, a large
amount of storm water runoff would be directed away from Brown's Creek into Lake
McKusick. An impact of this would be that the lake would need to be lowered over one foot
in order to provide additional storage for large storm events. There were many concerns
about the aesthetics of the lake, loss oflakeshore property and an increase in aquatic plants
and vegetation. A task force was formed to maintain or improve the physical condition and
recreational suitability of the lake. The task force came up with six primary
recommendations that included a significant modification to the Brown's Creek Protection
Project. Staff requested that Council review the recommendations and provide input.
Motion by Councilmember Cummings, seconded by Councilmember Bealka directing staff to
proceed with the all the recommendations in the McKusick Lake work plan as follows:
1. Raise the approved normal water elevation on McKusick Lake to approximately 853.
2. Evaluate downstream channel below McKusick Lake.
3. Construct new detention basins in developments.
4. Improve the recreational suitability of Lake McKusick.
a. Adopt an ordinance prohibiting the use of gasoline motors.
b. Install a public canoe landing, construct a fishing pier, work with DNR to stock game
fish, and install a winter aeration system if needed.
c, Develop trails around the lake and link with other areas of the City. .
5. Improve shoreland management of the lake,
6. Adopt non-structural methods of protecting water quality.
All in favor.
4. Report on McKusick Lake Park and Trailway Plan.
Community Development Director Russell explained that Herb Baldwin was hired to
prepare a park and trail plan for McKusick Lake. Herb Baldwin presented Council with
the concept plan. He explained that it is possible to establish a trailway and landscape
plan for the McKusick Lake area and to link improvements to future Brown's Creek and
Laurel Ravine trails. Staff recommended that Council approve the concept plan and refer
it to the Parks Board and Planning Commission for review and approval. Council
inquired about recreational opportunities around and near the lake.
Motion by Councilmember Cummings, seconded by Councilmember Zoller to receive the trail
and landscaping improvement plan for McKusick Lake and environs and referring it to the Parks
Board and the Planning Commission for review and recommendation. All in favor.
5. Possible second reading of ordinance relatmg to a zoning text amendment requiring
special building setbacks for arterial, collectors and railroad tracks (first reading April 6,
1999).
City Attorney Magnuson stated that this ordinance establishes greater setbacks along the
collector and major roads to provide for more green space along major thoroughfares.

proceed to abate and remove the violation and if necessary, assess the cost against the lot or
parcel. All in favor.
NEW BUSINESS
. 1. Request for private streets for 86 unit development, Green Twig Villa, located west of CR 5
at Curve Crest Boulevard
Community Development Director Russell explained the developer for the site is requesting
that private streets be allowed for the Green Twig Villa development. Previously Council
made the decision that no private streets would be allowed in developments because of
problems in the Oak Glen development where private streets where allowed and the City had
to make them public streets. There was some discussion regarding the benefits of private vs.
public streets.
Motion by Councilmember Cummings, seconded by Councilmember Zoller denying the request
for private streets in the 86 unit townhouse development, Green Twig Villa located west of CR 5
at Curve Crest Boulevard. All in favor.

~~~COn~]lrlTlg with Rose Holman, our computer guru, it was decided that we

cou~t to assist us in tec1mical support and train as many people as we need. I
believe this to be a much better use of the money than sending two employees to
TeXas.
Recommend approval of$1500.00 for technical support and training of
employees for Ticke- Tract. The money is in the parking budget for 1999.

2nd Street storm sewer pipe and the additIon of new railIngs on the first platform on the Main Street
Steps. It does not appear that a railing is necessary on the first platform, therefore the total quote for
the improvements could be reduced from $8,575.00 to $7,625.00 The various prices for the
proposed repair work are significantly lower than the quotes we have received in the past from the
local welding company.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that CouncIl accept the proposal from Twin City Fabricating, Inc. for the
reparr of the Main Street step railIng, the 4th Street Ravine railing and the 2nd Street storm sewer gate
for a price of $7,625.00.
ACTION REOUlRED:
If Council concurs with the recommendation, they should pass a motion adopting Resolution
No. 99--, ACCEPTING PROPOSAL FROM TWIN CITY FABRICATING, INC. FOR
THE REPAIR OF THE MAIN STREET STEP RAILING, THE 4TH STREET RAVINE
RAILING AND THE 2ND STREET STORM SEWER GATE

DRAFT Adult Uses Ordinance
City of Stillwater, Minnesota
1/99
Ordinance No.
Statement of policy.
The city councll of the CIty of Shllwater deems It necessary to provIde for the specIal
and express regulahon of bus messes or commercIal enterpnses wlnch operate as adult
body pamtmg studIOS, adult bookstores, adult cabarets, adult compamonslnp
establIshments, adult hotels or motels, adult massage parlors or health clubs, adult m1Ill-
mohon pIcture theaters, adult modelIng stuchos, adult motion pIcture arcades or theaters,
adult novelty busmesses, adult saunas, and smnlar adult onented SeIV1.ces operating under
dIfferent names m order to protect the publIc health, safety and welfare, and to guard
agamst the mception and transmisslOn of disease. The city councd further finds that the
commercIal enterpnses such as the types descnbed above and all other sundar
establIshments whose servIces mclude sessions offered to adults conducted m pnvate by
members of the same or OpposIte sex, and employing personnel Wlth no specIalIzed
trmmng are susceptible to operation m a manner contravemng, subvertmg, or
endangenng the morals of the commumty by bemg the site of acts of prostitution, lllIClt
sex, and OCCaslOns of violent cnmes, and thus reqwnng close Inspection, lIcensmg and
regulahon
The CIty councd also finds that control and regulation of commerCIal establIshments of
these types, m view of the abuses often perpetrated, reqUIre mtenslve efforts by the polIce
department and other departments of the CIty. As a consequence, the concentrated use of
CIty servIces m such control detracts from and reduces the level of semce available to the
rest of the commumty and thereby chminishes the ability of the CIty to promote the
general health, welfare, morals and safety of the commumty In conslderahon for the
neceSSIty on the part of the CIty to proVlde numerous SeIV1.ces to all segments of the
commumty without a concentratlOn of publIc servIces m one area worlang to the
detnment of the members of the general publIc, It IS hereby deCIded that the above
descnbed uses should be lImIted to the Business Park CommerCIal, BP-C, zomng chstrict
as a speCIal use and as a pernutted accessory use m Busmess Park Office, BP-O and
Business Park Busmess, BP-I, zomng chstncts, and should require the Issuance of
lIcenses

MEMORANDUM
TO:
Mayor and Council
FR.
CIty Coordinator
RE:
Treatment of Lily lake
DA.
Apn130,1999
Discussion.
Accompanying this memo is a letter from Mr. Bill Fierke requesting the treatment of Lily
Lake for algae. The cost of the proposed treatments is $2142. In addition to this cost the
lake shore property owners are also requesting that the City share m the cost of treating
submerged, aquatic vegetation. The estimated cost to treat the submerged vegetation is
$2100 and the City's' proposed share would be about $1260 (assummg all of the property
owners request the treatment (14? owners).
In the past, the City has paid 60% of the cost of treating the submerged vegetation and the
City has also treated the areas by the swimmmg beach and fishing pier for algae.
However, this request would increase the cost by about $2100 for the other treatments
(Le., filamentous and plankton). Therefore, the cost to the City, as I understand it, would
be about $4200 plus about $800 for the treatments by the beach and fishing pier.
Although this does not appear to be a significant amount, I wonder if all of the cost
should be shared on at least a 60-40 basis. An argument could be made that the
treatments for the submerged vegetation directly benefit the owners and the cost should
therefore be borne by the owners Further, in talking to a professional Limnologist, it
appears that these treatments are a very short-term fix. We are merely treating a symptom
and not the cause and that any time after the treatments are made, a heavy amount of
precipitation will add enough nutrients to the lake to create weed and algae growth.
In short, the treatments do not appear to be the answer to the problem. What would be the
answer, however, is the plan that we are working on to keep the nutrients, etc. from
entering our lakes in the first place.
Discussion;
Council consider request to participate in treatment for algae and weeds in Lily Lake.

Dear Klayton:
Subject: Lake Management's treatments of Lily Lake.
Meeting with Councilman Bealka and Don Pennings of Lake Management this
morning, I suggested that Lake Management's 1999 contract with the city
for algae treatments include:
One treatment for filamentous algae for $795.
Three treatments for plankton algae @ $449, $1,347.
In the past there has been one treatment for each. The one treatment
for plankton algae has not been adequate, and the effect has lasted for
only a few days. In one year, 1996, when fortuitous conditions allowed .
the one treatment to work, the results were dramatic and the lake
became markedly clearer. Three treatments are generally required to
make a difference.
Lake Management sends its proposals to Tim Thompson. Councilman Bealka
wasn't sure whether or not council action is needed to increase the
plankton treatments.
As before, lakeshore residents will be able to order additional
treatments in front of their properties. Lake Management has agreed to
simplify this program and will deal directly with those who want
additional treatments, processing permits for them and handling the
whole thing. When the lakeshore owners' obligations are totalled up,
the group will request the 60% subsidy granted by the city in past
years. Lake Management won't require payment from the residents until
the subsidy has been requested. If it is granted, Lake Management has
agreed to receive it and apply it proportionately to homeowner's bills.
The request for the Subsidy will be brought to the council after the
treatments are completed. I'll handle that this year and find someone
else to take over next year.
Regards,
~
Bill Fierke

SUBJECT: AcqwsltIon of Easements for Trout Stream RealIgnment Project
DISCUSSION:
The Jomt DNR and CIty project to realIgn the trout stream through the Oak Glen mne hole
golf course IS proceedmg at a SWIft pace. The DNR faces a slgmficant deadhne in that if the project
IS not underway by June 30, 1999 the State fundmg WIll dIsappear So far, the adJolmng property
owners have been very cooperatIve, but any snag regardmg easements or access could shelf the
project.
As part oftlns proJect, the CIty IS mtendIng to construct a portIon of the Trout Stream
MItIgatIon Plan., constructing some of the pIpe that IS part oftlns MItIgatIon Plan m assocIation WIth
tlns project could slgmficantly reduce the cost of that proJect. Completing these projects now would
aVOId havmg to dIsturb the golf course agam m the future. The DNR IS obtammg all the easement
necessary to reahgn the creek, the CIty WIll need to acqwre easements m order to place some of the
pIpe, and therefore we should begm the process of easement acquIsItIon immedIately.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that CouncIl dIrect the CIty Attorney to take the steps necessary to acqwre
any addItIonal easements needed for the Trout Stream Reahgnment Project and Trout Stream
MItIgatIon Project m the area of the Oak Glen Country Club.

SUBJECT: Review of the Phase IT EnVIronmental Site Assessment
For Alple Property
DISCUSSION:
Attached are memos and copies of the text from Service EnVIronmental Phase IT
EnVironmental Study of the Alple Property. The Phase IT Report Identifies a number of
environmental Issues that should be addressed to hmIt City hablhty and make the site available for
park development. Most of the Issues reqwre chscusslons With vanous government agencies. As the
cover letter from ServJ.ce Environmental suggests, their staff Will begm chscussions With the vanous
agencies If Council Wishes to use the remaimng budget funds for tIns project.
ServIce EnVIronmental also recommends that we enter this project m the Voluntary
Investigation and Cleanup (VIC) program With the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. Entenng
tIns project in the VIC program will result in some costs for State reVIew. Also, there could be
adchtlonal costs as we proceed through the VIC program m that some cleanup or corrective actions
may be necessary.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that Council authonze Service EnVIronmental to use the remamder of the
budget for tIns project to transnnt copies of the reports to State agencies and meet with their staff to
discuss resolution of environmental Issues for the Alple property. Staff also recommends that
Council authonze entenng tIns project m the VIC program
ACTION REOUIRED:
If Council concurs with the staff recommendation they should pass a motion authorizmg the
use of the remaming budget for the Alple property environmental study for ServJ.ce EnVironmental to
meet With State agencies and staff and authorize entenng tIns project mto the Voluntary
Investigation and Cleanup (VIC) program.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
.
SERVICE Environmental & Engineering (SERVICE) has completed Phase II Environmental
SIte Assessment actIvities at the above referenced SIte. The scope of work performed at the Site
was in accordance with our proposal entitled "Proposal for Completing a Phase II Environmental
Site Assessment" dated April 30, 1998 The following information summarizes the results of the
investigatIon and provides recommendations for entering the Site Into regulatory programs at the
MInnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) and MlllD.esota Department of Agriculture to seek
letters of assurance which will limit the future environmental liabIlity associated with the Site.
1 SIX composite surficial soIl samples were collected at the SIte on August 18, 1998. The
soIl samples were collected in suspect areas identIfied during the Phase I Environmental
SIte Assessment near former suspect pesticide and fertIlizer handlIng and storage areas
All six of the samples were analyzed for Total KJeldahl Nitrogen (TKN) and NItrate-
NItrogen concentratIons Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) soIl cleanup
levels for Nitrate - NItrogen is 200 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) and for TKN is
2,000 mg/kg The soIl chemIStry results were below these lllmts WIth the exceptIon of
soIl sample S-1 wluch indIcated a concentratIon of 240 mg/kg NItrate NItrogen Low
levels of pesticides were also detected in samples S-4 and S-6 The concentrations
detected are below the MPCA's Soil Reference Values (SRVs) for reSIdentIal SItes
SERVICE recommends that the CIty of Stillwater enroll the Site Into the MInnesota
Department of Agriculture (MDA) Voluntary Cleanup Techmcal Assistance Program .
(VCT AP) to further investigate the agricultural chemical releases at the Site.
2 Twenty-two test pItS were advanced at the Site in August and December 1998 The test
pItS were advanced in locatIons whIch may have been environmentally Impacted based on
hIstorical land use A black coal-hke materIal was identified In the majorIty of the test
pits advanced north of test pIt TP-14 The material was typically located between the

INTRODUCTION/SCOPE
.
SERVICE Environmental & Engineering, (SERVICE), was authorized by the CIty of StIllwater to
conduct a Phase I Environmental SIte Assessment (ESA) and Phase II subsurface evaluation at the
tract ofland referred to as the Aiple Property ("Site"), Stillwater, Minnesota (Figure 1, Site Location
Map, and Figure 2, Site Map) The Phase IT work was completed in response to potential
"Recognized EnVIronmental Conditions" as defined by ASTM E1527-97.
SERVICE's Phase II subsurface evaluatIon scope of work consisted of the following
· Collecting and analyzing six surface soil samples in areas near the former Terra Terminal
that exhIbited soIl staining and/or stressed vegetatIon These soil samples were analyzed for
Minnesota Department of Agnculture (MDA) List 1 Pesticides, Organochlorine Pesticides,
NItrate-NItrogen and Total KJeldahl NItrogen (TKN) concentratIons
.
Excavating twenty two test pIts, field screening soil samples for elevated organic vapors and
collectmg and analYZing select soil samples for Polynuclear AromatIc Hydrocarbons (P AHs),
V olatIle Organic Compounds, Resource ConservatIon and Recovery Act (RCRA) metals,
Polychlorinated BIphenyls (PCBs) and Total Cyamde concentrations
.
· PreparIng a factual report with recommendatIOns
Followmg summarizes the results of the Phase II subsurface evaluation
2.0 PHASE II PROJECT RESULTS
2.1 SoiUGroundwater
SoIl samples were collected at apprOXimate two foot vertical intervals In the 22 test pits. With the
exception of Test PIts TP-16, through TP-19, which were completed by the Quonset building near
the southern edge of the property, mIxed fill was encountered in all test PItS. The fill consisted of
silty sand, gravel, cobbles, limestone/sandstone boulders, concrete debris, abandoned railroad tracks
and wood. The wood IS most likely associated with the historical use of the SIte as a lumber
mIIVyard. A black coal-like matenal was Identified In the maJonty of the test pits advanced north
of test pit TP-14 This matenal was typIcally located between depths of one to three feet below
grade and ranged from six inches to two feet in tluckness The consistency of this material varied
between a black charcoal-lIke material and a black sand/gravel based material. .

97066PhaseUReport 0499
,.
.
.
.
Subsurface conditions near the southern Quonset hut appeared to consist of sIlty fine to medium
grained sand with gravel, potentially associated with native fluvial deposits.
Bedrock was encountered at test pits TP-5 at nine feet and was observed outcropping from the bank
directly adjacent to TP-IO. SERVICE expects that the depth to bedrock fluctuates across the Site.
In general, the depth to bedrock will increase as you move east across the Site toward the St. Croix
River The observed limestone and sandstone bedrock outcropping in the bank near the west
property hne of the Site is from the St. Lawrence and Franconia Formations
The depth to groundwater varied across the Site. In general, as you approached the river, the depth
to groundwater increased to a depth of approximately eight to nine feet below eXisting grade. Test
pit TP-I 0 was completed near the entrance to the Terra Terminal. At this location, groundwater was
observed running out of the bank adjacent to a limestone boulder which may be in-place bedrock
Orgamc vapors were detected at the 3.5 foot depth at TP-8 (center of Site) This observation leads
SERVICE to conclude that seasonal water table fluctuations associated with spring floodmg of the
St Croix River Will reach this elevation or higher.
Groundwater encountered at test pits TP-8, TP-9 and TP-IO exhibited rainbows or a sheen on the
surface of the water.
The test pits locations are shown on Figure 2 and the test pit logs are presented m Appendix A. Field
methodologies are presented in Appendix B
2.2 Organic Vapor Readings
Soil samples collected in the field were screened with a photoionization detector (PID) equipped
with an 11.7 e V lamp. Elevated field organic vapors were encountered associated with the
petroleum impacted soil at test pits TP-8, TP-9 and TP-IO. The highest readmg, 339 parts per
million, was detected at the six to seven foot interval at test pit TP-9. A slightly elevated field
organic vapor readmg, 16 ppm, was also encountered at test pit TP-14 from a soil sample collected
from the zero to six inch mterval.

No elevated field organic vapor readmgs were detected associated with the previously discussed
black layers. Field organic vapor PID readmgs are presented on the test pit logs attached as
Appendix A .
.
2.3 Soil Chemistry
SIX surface (0-6") soil samples were collected in areas near the former Terra Termmal that exhibited
soil staining or stressed vegetation The soil samples were composIted from five discreet samples
collected within a 15 foot radius and were analyzed for organochlorine pesticides (SW-848, 8081),
MDA List 1 Pesticides (SW-846, 8270), NItrate - Nitrogen (EPA 353.2) and TKN (EPA 351.2)
concentrations. The results of the analyses are presented on the attached Table 1. The soil sampling
locations are presented on Figure 2 and the laboratory reports are attached as Appendix C.
Ten additional soil samples were collected from 22 test pits that were completed throughout the
SIte. These soil samples were analyzed for VOCs (SW-846, 8260) PARs (SW-846, 8270), PCBs
(SW-846, 8081), Arsenic (SW-846, 6010), Barium (SW-846, 6010), Cadmium (SW-846, 6010),
Total Chromium (SW-846, 6010), Total Lead (SW-846, 6010), Mercury (SW-846, 7471), Selenium
(SW-846, 6010) Silver (SW-846, 6010) and Total Cyamde (SW-846, 6010) The results of the
analyses are presented on the attached Table 2 Laboratory reports are attached as Appendix C .
3.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATION
SERVICE Environmental & Engineenng (SERVICE) has completed Phase II EnVIronmental Site
Assessment activIties at the above referenced SIte, The scope of work performed at the Site was in
accordance with our proposal entItled "Proposal for Completing a Phase II EnVIronmental SIte
Assessment" dated April 30, 1998 The following information summarizes the results of the
investigation and provides recommendations for entering the SIte into regulatory programs at the
MInnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) and Minnesota Department of Agnculture to seek
letters of assurance which willlinnt the future environmental lIabIlIty assOCIated With the Site.
· SIX composite surficial soil samples were collected at the Site on August 18, 1998. The soil
samples were collected in suspect areas Identified during the Phase I Environmental Site
Assessment near former suspect pesticIde and fertilizer handling and storage areas. All six.
of the samples were analyzed for Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen (TKN) and NItrate - Nitrogen
concentrations Mmnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) soil cleanup levels for Nitrate
- NItrogen is 200 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) and for TKN is 2,000 mg/kg. The soil
chemistry results were below these limits with the exception of soil sample S-1 which .smdicated a concentration of240 mglkg NItrate Nitrogen. Low levels of pesticIdes were also

.
.
detected in samples S-4 and S-6. The concentrations detected are below the MPCA's Soil
Reference Values (SRVs) for residential sites
SERVICE recommends that the City of Stillwater enroll the Site into the Minnesota
Department of Agriculture (MDA) Voluntary Cleanup Technical ASSistance Program
(VCT AP) to further investigate the agricultural chemical releases at the Site.
.
Twenty-two test pits were advanced at the Site m August and December 1998. The test pits
were advanced in locations which may have been environmentally impacted based on
historical land use A black coal-like material was identified in the majority of the test pits
advanced north of test pit TP-14. The material was typically located between the depths of
one to three feet below existing grade and ranged from six inches to two feet m thickness.
Three samples of this material was collected and analyzed for polynuclear aromatic
hydrocarbons (PAHs) Low level PAHs were detected in all of the samples. The
concentrations were below respective MPCA Residential SRVs With the exception of
benzo(a)pyrene at a concentration of2.6 mglkg in test pit TP-12
SERVICE recommends that the City of Stillwater enter the MPCA' s Voluntary Investigation
and Cleanup (VIC) Program to obtain a "No Action" letter for the coal-like material
identified at the Site. Further dehneation and sampling of thiS matenal may be required by
the MPCA. If future excavatIon work for footing placement Will be completed in this area,
SERVICE recommends that a Soil Contingency Plan be approved by the MPCA
.
An area of stressed vegetation was identified near test pit TP-14 A grab sample was
obtained within the stained area from a depth of 0 to 6 six mches Polychlormated biphenyls
(PCBs) and naphthalene were identified exceeding MPCA Residential SRV s. This release
appears to be localized and has impacted the upper six inches of soil
SERVICE recommends that this area remedlated and a "No ActIon" letter secured from the
MPCA VIC program
.
Elevated PID readings and petroleum odors were identified in test pits TP-8, TP-9 and TP-
10. Based on field observatIons, a petroleum release was reported to the MPCA Ground
water may be impacted with dissolved gasolme concentrations. A potential source for this
petroleum release is the upgradient former gasoline service station located on the west side
of State Highway 36. Additional subsurface evaluatIon work will be required to define the
extent of the release to soil and ground water. The former underground storage tank. owner
or operator may be responsible to investigate the extent of this release

ReSidence on a Vacant Substandard Lot at 923 South 6th Street. Case No. V/99-17.
Apn130, 1999
Date:
The City Zomng Ordinance requires City approval of development of substandard lots of record.
The code section states ''the City Council may penmt erecnon of a dwelling on any lot separately
owned or under contract of sale, on May 7, 1974, containing an area or width smaller than what
IS required for a one family dwelhng, provided that municipal sewer and water services is
aV31lable to the site."
The Planning Commission considered the request at their meeting of April 12, 1999. At that
meetmg, extensive comment regardmg the impact of lot development on neighborhood character
was heard (see enclosed letters and CPC 4/12/99 mmutes).
After hearing the proposal, considering the comments and dlscussmg the proposal, the
Conumssion recommended demal of the request as mconsistent with the Zoning Ordinance and
neighborhood character. The project would result in two substandard dwellings, the existing
dwelling on a separate lot and the new dwelhng.
Recommendation: Denial of request.

build a single family residence on the property referenced above,
a platted, presently nonconforming lot. I presently own Lots 20
and 21, Block 11 and my present residence is located on Lot 21,
Block 11, the lot located to the north and directly adjacent to
the lot that is the basis of this variance request.
I am a single mother and have owned this property for the last six
years, since 1993. My present home is constructed entirely within
the confines of a single platted lot, Lot 21. This is similar to
the vast majority of the homes of my neighbors, those also being
constructed within the confines of a single platted lot. The
purpose of my variance request is to obtain a variance to build a
new, single family residence for my son and myself on the other
platted lot that I own (Lot 20, Block 11).
The home that I propose to build is long and narrow and very
accommodating to the dimensions of the lot. My reasons for
choosing this particular plan as opposed to a more traditional
Victorian two story home are numerous. The proposed plan allows
for the construction of a garage which, on the lot in question,
could only be placed at the front of the home. My plans call for
the construction of a one story home (with a walk-out basement
which aliQns perfectly with the natural slope of the land). I
believe this will least effect the view that many of my neighbors
who own two story homes presently enjoy. Finally, this plan will
allow me to build a very nice, affordable home for my son and .
myself, something I would not be able to do or afford if I were to
sell my property and look to building in one of the new
.
.

subdivisions in the Stillwater area.
This variance is necessary because over the years since this
property has been platted and the neighborhood built up, the
requirements for minimum square footage of a lot for construction
of a single family residence have changed, through no fault of my
own. At the time this property was platted and approved, these
lots were laid out with dimensions of 40 feet by 135 feet for a
total of 5,400.0 square feet. Under the current ordinances the
minimum lot size for building a single family residence is 7,500.0
square feet. This property is located in "old Stillwater-, and is
also, I believe, located in the "RB" zoning district. I believe
approval of this variance request, which would allow me to
construct this single family, residential home for myself and my
son would be consistent with the characteristics of the
neighborhood, consistent with the density restrictions for the
neighborhood and would allow me to overcome the hardships that are
imposed upon me by the changes in the city ordinances which
restrict building to lots of a certain size. I suffer a hardship
as a result of these changes in ordinances since I am taxed for
this lot as a buildable lot, its "highest and best use-. I'm also
assessed for improvement against the full size of this lot,
irrespective of the fact that under the existing ordinances,. it is
not a buildable lot and should not be valued as such. To
illustrate this more graphically, I have recently been informed of
the plans for street and sidewalk improvement on Sixth Street in
front of my property and have been informed that the proposed
assessments for this lot will total in excess of $3,700.00, even
though under this present circumstance, the property cannot be
used in its intended fashion.
As a proud resident of the City of Stillwater for over 33 years, I
greatly appreciate your consideration of this request. If you
need additional information, please contact me at 439-3271.
Very respectfully yours,

City Council Members
Stillwater City Council
We have owned the home at 919 South Sixth Street (Lots ZZ and 23)
and the property next to Ms. Raduenz for 11 years, we are opposed
to Case No. V/99-17 for the following reasons:
1. The bui.lding of another home on a lot Z8S srngller than
requi.red will reduce not only our property value, but all
property in the neighborhood. The logic of the above
statement is abosolute because i.f Ms. Skall11C1n-Roduenz is
successful in this plea, i.t will p1.(1ce her present home on
the market for much LESS than it is worth wi.th lot nuniJer 20
attached.
.
Z. At the planni.ng comtission meeti.ng, Ms. Skalman-Raduenz plead
financial hardship in taxes because she choose not to combine
her two lots for tax purposes before the Si.xth Street
project. It i.s inappropriate to place the burden from
this decisi.on on the whole nei.ghborhood.
.
3. Whatever the contention that Ms. Skalman-Raduenz makes in
regards 1:0 the mixture of homes i.n the neighborhood, this
cannot justify cronming one more home i.nto this nei.ghborhood.
(Two wrongs do not IDQke a right.)
4. In living next door to Ms. Ska1.man-Raduenz for these past four
years we helve noti.ced that she appears to be staying in her
home about 50J of the ti.me. We also know that she i.s a
single mother and could get married and move away. Her
present home appears not to be in the best of concH't;,ons.
These are too many factors indi.c;ating that her request could
be, or end up being, a profi.t IIIClking venture at the expense
of the netghborhood. For thi.s further reason we object to
this variance.

Re Vanance request for the property on So. 6th Street.
To whom It may concern,
I lIve at 922 South SIxth Street. In respect to the property across the street from nnne, I
would lIke to VOIce my oplDlon I have learned just today that the house to be bwlt on the
subject property would essentIally be one half of a twmhome based on a model found In
Woodbury. If this IS the case then I am opposed to the construction of the home on that
small lot I understand that tins project has some senous budget concerns however I feel
tins type of home would be an eyesore and a detriment to the value of the homes on a
street such as ours. I was told that a small VIctorian home would be bwlt In character
WIth the other homes In the area. TIns I would be In favor of. Please keep In nnnd that .
tins IS In no way a reflectIon of the person applymg for this pemnt. If a more swtable
home could be co structed I would strongly support the deCISIon. Thank you for your
.

Re: Variance at 923 S. 6th Street
~~\~
~/-\
POINTS:
1. I am unable to attend
2. Considered the variance request very carefully
3. Understand property owner's rights and responsibilities
4. Please consider this letter to be my objection.
Natural run-off from this property is mostly to the east into
backyards of homes like mine, located on the wes~ side of South
5th Street. I believe additional impervious surface created by
another house (roof, walks and driveway) would greatly increase
the chances of water problems and likely cause damage to my
property, as well as to other adjoining properties.
From every council meeting I've attended or listened to, the
main concern seems to be that the city's objective is to
preserve the city in it's present form, not to destroy it. If
we start lowering our standards of what is required within the
'RB' District from 7,500 square feet to anything less, we'll
wind up destroying the nature of the neighborhood.
The problem I foresee with in-fill construction on
sub-standard lots is that it makes neighborhoods, once grand,
look like trailer parks. If everyone in the City of Stillwater,
with a lot the size we're talking about, decided to do the same
thing, the whole town would lose the "old" neighborhood feel.
New houses 'look new' and don't blend with the 'old' homes
already in existence.
Both of the aforementioned issues would also result in a
reduction of neighborhood property values. This can be
illustrated within Stillwater on Laurel Street between Everett
and North 5th Street. The South 6th and South 7th Street
neighborhoods already have too many homes on each block, which
causes on-street parking problems.
I am concerned about the fact that 7,500 square feet is
REQUIRED, yet the commission is considering 5,396 square feet on
which to build a home. If there is a minimum required, there
must be a very good reason and I ask that the commission weigh
that very carefully.

Re. VARIANCE Case # V/99-17
~~~,.\,
.
Dear Steve,
I received notification for the Variance heanng on Apn112, 1999. This variance is being
asked by Susan Raduenz at 923 So SIxth St to build a family home on a non-conforming
lot I hve next door on the south SIde of the lot. I have lived there since 1992. Susie and I
are neighbors and friends and my issues are not personal with her but WIth the bwlding
Itself.
I called your office today to ask about the 7,500 foot requirement and specifically why
there is this reqwrement I assumed there was research done or enough hIstory to be able
to explain why 7,500 feet is necessary for a home to be placed on The woman who was
told to call me back couldn't answer that question. Maybe you can
The required square footage is 7,500, Susie is asking for 5,396. The difference is 2,104
feet That seems like an extreme number of square footage that WIll be lost Why is that
number reqwred?
Are they because of fire codes??
AnythIng to do with run-oft'?
What about resale value of my home? Is thIs an issue that has come up as a result of
squeezing a house into too small of a space?
.
The lot is non-conformmg and the woman I spoke with said all the lots on our street are
the same. She is right, but all of us on that SIde of the street pay property taxes on one lot,
SUSIe pays on two Why is that? All of our homes are centered or have garages on the
whole lot not Just half hke Susie's does This project started after we all were assessed for
the street and boulevard improvements scheduled for this summer. We all were assessed
a certain amount of money and Susie was assessed for double that amount due to the two
lots, her bill over 10 years would be around 7,000 and ours around 3,200. I don't
understand why her lot is considered two instead of one lot.
My other concerns:
I think placing a house on a small lot does not conform to the rest of the houses on that
side of the street.
Building so close to my property takes away my privacy
Although I am fine with Susie as a neighbor today, what If she moves.
I thInk the future resale of my house will be impaired because of the close proximity of
the long and very narrow house next door
What about all the trees between our properties, how WIll they be effected? If they need
to come down then I will have less privacy.
.-
,
.
.
.
oJ "' . l.
Again, thIs is not a personal Issue, thIs is strictly a building issue. SUSIe and her family
are good neighbors and that is why this is so hard I hope we can resolve this without
conflict but all of our homes are very personal to us which IS why we chose to purchase
them. I vote no for the variance.
Thank you for your time.
Smcerely,

We are writing because we have the followfng concerns. First we believe that both
for 1he neighborhood and for the long t<<m Investment for Susan it would be better
to build one house on the two lot area. Crowding another house into the space She
owns will downgrade the value of both. Second. while we and others in the
neighborhood are Investing money in the stree reconstruction prOjeCt at some
hardship, approval of ttis vanance by the otty is a move in the other direction.
And third. while we WIll personally have no hard feelngs if the variance is approved,
we are asking ootn the c:ily and SUsan to refleCt on whether this is the .
approporiate thing for her to do, and for the city to aHow. It seems to us to be very
Short sighted.

Memorandum
Apnl 26, 1999
TO: Steve Russell
FROM: Klayton HEckles
CIty EngIneer
SUBJECT: LIberty on the Lake - Phase II
FInal Plat Comments
The Engmeenng Department has a number of comments on the LIberty on the Lake 2nd AddItIon.
These comments need to be addressed before approVIng final plat and allOWIng the project proceed.
The first set of Issues concerns the plat Itself There are a number of questIons about easements
FIrst, the dramage and utIlIty easement for the pond located near the end ofMulvIlI Court IS not shown As
part of the approval procedure, the CIty also reqwres that separate traIlway easements be platted wherever
CIty traIlways are proposed No documents have been submItted that shows the proposed traIlway
easements The CIty also reqwres that conservatIon/open space easements be platted along the lake and
wooded areas and around wetland buffer areas. These easements are for preservIng these areas m theIr
natural state The DNR also reqUIres open space easements to mInlmIze ImpervIOUS surface WIthIn 1,000
feet of the lake. None of these documents has been proVIded to the CIty
The plat also shows a number of outlots that need clanficatIon Outlot "L" along Mannmg Avenue
as well as the outlot for Settlers Park and the proposed CIty well all need to be deeded to the CIty. Outlot
"L" IS for future nght-of-way needs along Manmng Avenue The other Outlots IS for water Improvements
and CIty parkland
Another Important aspect of final plat approval IS acceptance of a Developer's Agreement. The CIty
does have a Developer's Agreement for Phase I, but a new Developer's Agreement IS needed for Phase II.
TIns Developer's Agreement needs to cover cost shanng for area trunk Improvements, developer
responsIbIlItIes concernIng utIlItIes and constructIon, a number of developer guarantees and clanficatIon
regardmg constructIon and maIntenance of publIc faCIlItIes IncludIng utIlItIes and parks. The CIty also
needs to review the proposed covenants for the proj ect that may dIscuss maIntenance of the park,
notIficatIons concemmg eXIstence of traIl ways, easements, and other homeowner responSIbIlItIes In
addItIon, the developer has prOVIded a homebuyer's InformatIon packet that the CIty would lIke to reVIew to
Insure that adequate InformatIon IS prOVIded to prospectIve buyers
The developers have also submItted the plans and specIficatIons for the street and utIlIty design
Staff may have addItional comments or questIons concernIng the utIlIty design, therefore final approval of
the plat may be subject to CIty Engmeer's approval of plans and speCIficatIons.

mformatIon on thIS subject.
PETITION
.
THE UNDERSIGNED hereby petition the City of
Stillwater regarding the surface water drainage at the
intersection of Stillwater Avenue and Meadowview Drive,
as follows:
BACKGROUND:
1. Stillwater Avenue slopes downhill from
Owens Street to Meadowview Drive (east to west).
Meadowview Drive slopes downhill from its
southerly cul-de-sac to Stillwater Avenue
(south to north). Refer to sketch attached.
2. Rain water, melting snow and any other
surface water drains down both these streets
to their intersection.
3. There is a storm water catch basin at the
northwesterly corner of this intersection to
which the water is intended to flow.
4. However, the water flows to the southeasterly
corner of the intersection and then diagonally
across the surface of the street to the catch
basin.
.
5. The southeasterly corner is apparently a
bit lower than the northwesterly corner as all
of the water does not get to the catch basin but
instead it lays across the intersection.
6. During the winter months when there is thawing
and freezing, the intersection is always covered
with water and/or ice.
7. Even during the times of the year when the
temperatures are above freezing, there is water
across the intersection whenever it rains or there
is surface water draining to the intersection.
WHEREAS:
This condition, especially of the thawing and
freezing, causes the blacktop in the street to
continually break-up creating holes in the street, and
This condition has prevailed for years and consequently
has resulted in an on-going maintenance situation for
the City, and
.
PETITION
Page 2
.
This condition results in a slippery and dangerous
corner during the winter months, and
This condition also is a source of continuing
annoyance to all drivers who use this intersection
as the majority of the time it is wet and/or icey
and slippery and the blacktop is broken-up and
full of holes, and
WHEREAS:
The signers of this petition are of the oplnlon
that a simple and relatively inexpensive solution
to this problem can be provided by the placemnent
of a catch basin at the southeasterly cormer of the
intersection and an underground pipe or culvert to
take the water from the new catch basin diagonally
across the intersection to the existing storm sewer,
and
.
The signers of this petition are of the oplnlon
that this solution will be more cost effective
to the City (ie; taxpayers) than the accumulative
and on-going expense of year after year having to
patch and fix the street, and
The signers of this petition are of the opinion
that this solution will result in a better and
safer intersection to all who use it;
NOW THEREFORE:
WE THE UNDERSIGNED respectfully request that the
City immediately proceed with the necessary action
to implement the solution suggested herein in order
to correct the unsafe, troublesome and expensive
condition that exists at this intersection.

TOTAL
200.00Q
$1,010,000
Our contract WIth the CIty for thIS project, dated November 10, 1998, mdIcates that our

RE: Dropping off students ~t Headstart
-
We at Ryder Student Transportation are having a problem with picking up and
dropping of our handicap students at the Headstart Program that is held at the
Ascension Episcopal Church on North 3rd street. There is so much going on at the
churches and with the road being quite Darrow there is no where to puB our buses
up to.
After talking to Bruce Koslowski and him telling me how hard it is for 2 to 3
officers to patrol 9 schools in the city limits with special transportation, he brought
up the idea like they do at St. Mike's. Having signs staying no parking at special
school hours. He referred me to Steve RusseB and was told to write you people a
letter.
The perfect place would be in front of the water department, which really has a
yellow line painted there already but no one seems to see it. So my request is for a
sign that says
HANDICAP DROP OFF School days oaly.
8:45 -9:15 I

This would really help out a lot. rd appreciate hearing from you people as soon as

Re: Proposed Mitigation Plan and
Proposed Future of the Stillwater Lift Bridge
TH 36/STH 64
Stillwater, MN/Houlton, WI
Dear Mayor Kimble:
Enclosed is the proposed mitigation plan for the New St. Croix
River Crossing project near Stillwater, Minnesota. The proposed
future of the historic Stillwater Lift Bridge is also included
as part of this plan. This plan is proposed by the Minnesota
and Wisconsin Departments of Transportation (DOT's) and Federal
Highway Administration to mitigate the scenic and recreational
impacts of the St. Croix River Bridge project.
This mitigation plan was derived from a list of potential
mitigation measures that were developed in coordination with the
National Park Service, Advisory Council on Historic
Preservation, City of Stillwater, Minnesota and Wisconsin
Departments of Natural Resources and Minnesota and Wisconsin
State Historic Preservation Offices. These agencies have not
yet approved this plan but have assisted the DOT's in the
identification of potential mitigation items for the project.
Separate permit and approval processes are required from all of
these agencies. -
In addition, there are other project related impacts that may
also need to be mitigated that are not part of this scenic and
recreational mitigation plan. Examples would be potential
impacts to cultural resources and threatened and endangered
species.
As indicated in my letter to you dated April 15, 1999, the
meeting to discuss the enclosed proposals is scheduled for
WedneSday, May 5, 1999, from 9:00 a.m. to noon at the Washington
County Historic Courthouse in Stillwater, Minnesota (directions
enclosed). As with the meeting we had in January, it is
requested that only one individual represent the views of your
group or agency. Limited additional seating will also be
available for others who may wish to attend. The meeting agenda
is similar to the last meeting in that each agency will be asked
to provide its perspective on the proposed plan.
This proposed Mitigation Plan for the scenic and recreational
impacts is being presented to obtain input from the agencies and
the public. Please RSVP by mailing or faxing the enclosed sheet
by Monday, May 3, 1999. For further information, please contact
Cheryl Martin, Environmental Engineer, in our office at
(651)291-6120.

TH36/STH 64 - Consensus Alternative
Proposed Mitigation Plan for the St. Croix River Bridge
Proposed by MnDOT, WisDOT, and FBW A - 4/26199
The projects impacts to the scenic and recreational values will be reduced by:
1) Constructing a signature bridge, specifically a Weathered Steel Deck Tied Arch,
2) Incorporatmg design and construction techniques to reduce potential impacts to the Wisconsin
and Minnesota bluffs and to the river,
The following items are proposed as mitigation for the scenic and recreational impacts of the
project:
.
1) Remove the Northern States Power mooring cells and barge off-loading facility at the A.S. King
Plant in Oak Park Heights,
2) Remove the Terra Terminal building south of downtown Stillwater and restore the shoreline,
3) Remove the earthen causeway between the lift bridge and the Wisconsin shoreline and restore
the shoreline, .
4) Provide funds to the future owner of the lift bridge for routine maintenance and its ultimate
future removal,
5) Remove the unnecessary pavement from the Wisconsin approach to the lift bridge and provide
landscape restoration,
6) Stillwater's Kolliner Park; clean-up property and allow it to revert to a more natural state,
7) Partner with Stillwater in the development of a river front park on the former Aiple barge
facility property and restore the shoreline,
8) Assist in the development of a regional infrastructure and land use plan for the St. Croix River
Valley area between Taylors Falls and Prescott.
9) Provide a public boat access near the former FEIS alignment or the Consensus alignment on the
Minnesota side of the river,
10) Involve the state DNR's in the placement of covenants on potential excess properties from the
previous bridge alignment to limit future development uses,
11) Resolve the future of the existing lift bridge (see below).
Note: All of the Items on the above mitigation list appear to have a very good potential to be
Implemented, however, they all wIll reqUlfe extensIve dISCUSSions WIth appropnate partIes to resolve the
specIfics of each item.
Historic Stillwater Lift bridge proposed future:
.
1) Prohibit vehicular traffic from the lift bridge upon completion of the new bridge,
2) Remove the causeway between the bndge and the Wisconsin shorelIne the construction season
followmg the opening of the new bridge and move the navigation channel from the lift section to
the east side of the river.
3) Transfer ownership of the lift bridge to the City of Stillwater or other appropriate entity, along
with funds for routine mamtenance and funding for its ultimate future removal,
4) Removal of the 11ft bridge will eventually occur, tIming of its removal will be based in part on
Its expected remaining life, whIch is currently being evaluated by a historic bndge consultant.
AdditIOnal negotIations on tIming are also needed WIth appropriate agencies.
5) Begin dISCUSSIons WIth appropriate parties to mitigate the impacts to the historic lift bridge.

Minutes from April 22 meeting re: Brown's Creek Watershed District Rules and .
Stillwater Ordinances
Present: Klayton Eckles, Steve Russel, Craig Leiser, Mark Ooneux, and Julie
Westerlund {Minutes wntten by Julie Westerlund}
This meeting was called as a result of the discussion at the Intergovernmental group
meeting on April 19th The purpose of the meeting was to further discuss the Brown's
Creek Watershed Distnct's (BCWD) proposed rules In relation to the City of Stillwater's
eXisting ordinances. It was decided that the discussion needed to be more speCific and
in a smaller group setting.
Before discussing the rules/ordinances, two other Items were brought up.
1) Klayton presented the a stormwater management study which was recently
completed by the City. This study outlines a potential plan for dealing with
stormwater associated with the southwestern section of Stillwater {the
Marketplace ~Cub Foods, etc.) shopping center and the surrounding area,
Including 62" street}. Water from thiS area would eventually go to Long Lake
Klayton will send copies of the study to the watershed district, DNR, and
WSWCD.
2)
Steve presented the good news that Stillwater's grant application the Metro
Greenways land acquIsition program was approved, pending approval by the
Commissioner of the DNR. Congratulations to everyone who collaborated on
this grant! The money will help the City purchase a property in the annexation
area near the stream. We also talked about the developer who will be working
adjacent to the acqUired property: sounds like he may want to promote a natural
resources theme in the development.
.
The discussion of ordinances started with a recap of what's happened so far:
1) The BCWD, through Its Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), formulated a set of
proposed rules and sent them out for review on November 6, 1998.
2) The BCWD received comments on the rules from several parties, Including the
City of Stillwater (December 21, 1998) and the DNR (December 22, 1998).
2)
As of this meeting, The BCWD has not yet formally responded to any of the
comments. However, BCWO board members have been meeting with
representatives from some of the interested parties to have a dialogue about the
rules.
Although each City had representation on the T AC, some Cities, particularly
Stillwater, were not ready to fully support the BCWO's rules. The view of
Stillwater's City Council is that "...Iand use control should remain the
.
.
responsibility of the City. In addition, the Council wishes to emphasize our desire
to see the City's AUAR Mitigation Plan accepted and as an approved alternative
to the management strategies discussed in the rules. II The BCWO has taken the
positIon that the AUAR mItigation plan, in principle, could be an 'approved
alternatIve' to the rules, but in its present state, the AUAR mitigation plan is only
a planning tool and not an enforcement document. Therefore, the two parties
have been discussing the relationship between the AUAR and the rules to
further clarify everyone's position on the rules before the BCWD issues a
formal response to the comments on the rules.
.
Mark pointed out that the BCWO needs to think very carefully about policy aspect of
regulation. The board should deCIde what degree of regulatory authonty they choose to
exercise within the watershed. The CIty may be able to take steps to reestablish some
of that control, but the BCWO's final rules should be adopted before the board makes
any deciSIons to give up regulatory authority to the City.
2) Recently (in the last few months?), the City of Stillwater has passed numerous
ordinances which support the principles outlined in their AUAR mitigatIon plan
(hereafter referred to as simply AUAR)
It appears that many of the differences between the BCWD and the City are rooted
in semantics. The City wants to maintain land use control via the AUAR and the
BCWO rejects the AUAR itself as a regulatory document. However, the CIty is
transforming tlJe regulatory status of the AUAR by passing ordinances which support
the concepts put forth in the AUAR. These ordinances may very well serve as viable
alternatives to the BCWO rules, as part of a regional stormater management plan.
One possible source of frustration is that those outside the City were not aware that
many of these ordinances have been passed or what they pertain to Craig has
referenced two of them, but at the 4/19 intergovernmental meeting, it sounded like there
may be more... Although the ordinances are available on the web and Steve distributed
a couple of copies (I apologize, I still don't have one), it's such a cumbersome document
and many of us have not had time to look it over. Although it's probably no easy task, a
boiled-down version of the city's ordinances which focuses on water-related issues may
be very helpful in determining the power of the City to protect Brown's Creek in lieu of
the BCWO rules.
2) To date, there have been no changes in the BCWO's proposed rules based on
anyone's comments.
2)
Klayton indicated that the City of Stillwater is still very much interested in
receiving a formal, written response to the comments. Klayton expressed
the CIty'S frustration because they are unsure of the BCWO's position on the
AUAR. Klayton feels that a written response to Stillwater's comments on the
rules would be very helpful in clarifying the Board's position. Klayton also
mentioned that he has received conflicting messages about some issues from
the various board members. Craig concurred that it is impOSSIble for one board
.
member to commUnicate the position of the entire board without a formal .
document which states that position, and that he cannot speak for the board, nor
can he make decisions on their behalf
2) Craig said that he would instruct the BCWO's consulting englneenng firm to draft
a response to the City'S comments before May 4, 1999.
We began a specific discussion of Stillwater's comments to the rules. Craig suggested
that as we compare a given proposed BCWO rule to the City's corresponding
ordinance, if the regulatory numbers were within 10% of each other, the BCWD rule
could be changed to match the City'S ordinance. Julie suggested that this approach
may be useful as a 'negotiating tool', but may not be reasonable from a hydrologiC
standpoint in some cases. {Mark's point about the board's policy on regulation applies
here. The board should deCide what degree of regulatory authority they choose to
exercise within the watershed, regardless of the degree of consistency between the
BCWD rules and the CitYs ordinances}
Klayton began by saYing that the rules are pretty good from the standpOint of the
townships and that Stillwater IS happy with them for the most part With the exception of
the stormwater ordinance. The rules refemng to erosion, lakeshore, and floodplains are
good The rest of the day's discussion focused on proposed rule 2.0, Stormwater
Management.
{Many of the following can be found In Stillwater's comments to the rules; see Julie for a
copy if you need one}
With regard to:
2.1.1; the City feels that on-slte-Infiltration is a method rather than a purpose or policy.
2.2; section 2.8 should be renumbered 2.7, and there should be another letter (a)
expliCitly stating that If you have another approved regional plan, the Criteria in (b )-(f) ,
currently (a)-(e), do not apply This would be particularly important for undeveloped lots
In mostly developed areas with an approved stormwater mgmt plan.
2.3; possibly strike the last sentence, find a way to review plans concurrently, or provide
Input earlier in the developer's planning process? The fear is of a scenario where the
developer has a plan approved by the city only to have It shot down by the BCWD.
Craig said he would rather see the plan review abdicated to the city and they can
enforce on a timely baSIS. This would remove layers of government, which Craig,
Klayton, and Steve all agreed would be a positive step.
2.4 (a); Klayton said It'S not really a big issue, but the return frequencies speCified (1.5,
10, 100) are not the standards in the engineenng world (5, 10, 100). He argued that 1.5
and 5 are just different pOints of companson, and that they meet the same goal, which is
a system that does not change discharge from pre-development conditions. However,
the T AC discussed thiS item for qUite some time and amved at the 1.5 frequency
because it is the standard bankfull stream discharge. This IS the 'channel forming
discharge', very important in stream ecology and fluvial geomorphology, and It occurs
more often than the 5 year event.
.
.
.
.
.
2.4 (e); relative to the appendIx, the it's unclear how the performance standard
measured in ppb of P compares with the traditional standard of a percentage of P
removal {NURP ponds remove a % of P based on pond size}. The type of criteria laid
out in appendix 2.2 is difficult to figure out how to meet. Mark explained that the
performance standards could be 'back-calculated' to figure out what percentage of P
would be removed, and therefore, what pond size would be needed. The TAC felt
strongly about including performance-based standards in the rules because it provides
a better way of evaluating if the stream is actually being protected.
2.4 (d); the permItted bounce standards specified in appendix 2.3 are good guidelines
but not good regulations. The 'permitted bounce' does not specify duration and
frequency of bounce. Also, there may be cases where the bounce is not appropriate
(Le you may want to let a wetland bounce more to save a resource downstream). This
gets to the issue of prioritizing natural resources, whIch everyone agreed is important.
At this point, we ran out of tIme, Klayton summarized that With regards to Stormwater
Management and Shoreland Buffers, the City and the BCWD agree on the desired end
result, but they sometimes disagree on the methods of getting that result.
The five of us agreed to meet again on Tuesday, May 4th, 8:30 AM, Stillwater City
Hall.

"I had hoped that this
session that the local
governments-school
dIstrictS, counties, citIes-
could be partners-part-
ners with the legislators
and governor for that
matter in looking at prop-
erty tax rellef,loolang at
focal government aid
structures instead 01 con-
tinuing a very, very frustrat-
ing level of conflict with one
another. lC
"And I hope that as we
go forward, whether its
talking about Iimiteo market
value or whether its talking
about reverse referendum
or levy limits, both of which
J do not support, that we
realize and recognize that
the very same people that
erected the representatives
from Bloomington or the
representatives from Moor-
head or the representa-
tIVes from Minneapolis also
elected their city council
members."
lIfhey didn't suddenly
get stupid when they were
voting on the city council
ballot and then suddenly
get wise when they voted
10r you."
The Larson amendment
ultimately failed on a 57 to 71
vote.
.
Rep Tom Osthoff (OFL-St.
Paul) offered an amendment to
prohibIt local units of govern-
ment from engaging a lobbyist
with revenues derived from
taxes. Associations such as the
League of Minnesota Cities
were not prohibited under the
amendment. The Speaker ruled
the amended out of order
because it was not a tax-
related Item.
The final amendment that
affected local units of govern-
ment was a proposal offered by
Rep. Ted Winter (OFL-Fulda)
that would have removed the
reverse referendum provision
included in the bill. After a
lengthy debate. the amendment
failed on a 61 to 68 vote. How-
ever, unUke many of the other
amendments that failed earlier
in the debate, the vote for the
repeal included 12 Republicans
and 49 Democrats
After completing work in
the amendments, the bill was
approved on a 95 to 35 vote.
The bill has been sent to the
Senate where they are now in
the process of completing floor
work on their tax biD.
The Senate omnibus tax
bIll was substanttally modified
shOrtly before committee action
on Thursday. Senate leadership
stripped out almost all minor tax
provisions and rolled the sav-
ings Into increased income tax
cuts We Will fully summanze
the final Senate bill I rJt next
week's Cities Bulletin. We
expect a conference commIttee
to be appointed sometime early
next week-less than two
weeks before the scheduled
adjournment for the Legislature.

AptiI30.1999
House completes tax bill; Senate nearly done
After 21 amendments and
nearly eIght hours of floor
debate, the House of Repre-
sentatives completed work on
their omnibus tax bill. Although
few of the amendments were
added to the bill, several would
have had significant impact on
local Units of government.
Rep. AI Juhnke (DFL-
Willmar) offered an amendment
that would have repealed the
sales tax on local government
purchases. Even though most
of the DFLers voted agalOst the
same amendment last year
because It created an $80
million hole In the budget, their
votes turned green this year.
The Republican green votes of
last year tumed red this year
because it created an $80
million hole In their budget. The
amendment ultimately failed on
a 61 to 67 vote.
Rep. Bob Milbert (DFL-
South St. Paul) offered an
amendment that would have
established a more stringent
limited market value system.
Under the bill's original Ian-
guage, assessor's annual
market value increases could
not ex~eed 7 percent, unless
the limited value fell behind the
assessor's estimate by more
than 53 percent The onglnal bill
proViSion would have only
applied to those classes of
property currently covered by
limited marketvalue-residen-
tial homesteads and non-
homesteads, agricuftural home-
steads or non-homesteads and
cabins.
The Milbert amendment
would have applied a value
increase limit based on the
lesser of the consumer pnce
index or 5 percent. In addItIon,
the limit would have applied to
all classes of property. The
Milbert amendment failed on a
46 to 81 vote.
Rep. Dan Larson (DFL-
Bloomington) offered a 2g..page
amendment to freeze property
taxes for one year. During the
debate on the freeze amend-
ment, Rep, Osskopp managed
to simultaneously support our
position opposing a state freeze
on local tax authority and offend
some local government offiCials:
""Representative Larson
you asked the question,
your voters in your district
said in face of all these tax
cuts how come our prop-
erty taxes keep going up?
Vt)u know, one of the rea-
sons they voted for Gov.
Ventura IS because he will
tell It to them straight."
"What you need to do IS
not come up with all kinds
of systems here In St. Paul
to address the problem,
what you need to Is JUst be
honest with your taxpayers
and say your city govern-
ment, your county govern-
ment and school boards
spend like drunken saUors.
That's why your property
taxes are going up. If you
want your property taxes
to go down, throw the
bums out of the city, throw
the bums out in the county,
throw the bums out in the
school board and your
taxes go down. We trIed It
in Wabasha County and it
worked."
.
Later during the debate,
Rep. Rest responded to a
number of anti-local government
comments:
l'I'm becoming increasingly
dismayed by the attacks
that are made on local
governments In the course
of thIS legislative session
and not jus1 in the discus-
sion ofthis bill."

Dear Mr. Bachman,
AttachecllS MIlIDOT's rcvocw of Professor Jolmston's report "ReVlew of the AnalysIs of the New
St.Croix River BridlJe", dated February 17, 1999, The review was prepared by Sa:: Consultmg Group
wIth Input from stafffrom the Mctropohtan Council, WlsDOT, Mr1DOT. and Richard Bra\l1'\ MnlDOT
recelVed the report when MCEA made it available to the public on March 23, 1999.
Attachecl are the followmg,
· Summary Response to Johnston Report,
,. Summary of Four-lane Decision.
· Summary of Growth Management,
. SRF memorandum on Iohnston report, 4/12/99
The extensIve forecasting work done by SRF Consulting GrouP. utilizing the Metropobtan Council's
re810nal forecasung model, was thorough and complete and the DOT's support the methodOlol)' and
results of SRF's stuebes. The extensl0n of the metropohtan model mto western WlSconsm requaed a
tremendous amount of data coUectlon. model development, and cal1brat.1on. TIns modelmg effort was
an tmpoftant step to allow for a reasonable evaluatIon of the various altematlVes that were consIdered
dunng the Braun process ane to support the fmal recommenctanon.
.
A four-lane bndge 15 the only reasonable and prudent way to pro~eed with this crossmg. MnlDOT IS,
however, sensitive to the concern of various parnes about the potential for increased growth in the
prOject area. The comprehensive plans and zoning ordmances of the counties and loca! governments on
both SIdes of the nver have been reviewed MnlDOT has proposed, as pan of the proJect's mitigatIon
plan, to asSIst In the development of a regIonal Jr.frastrUcture and land use plan for the St.Croix River
Valley area between Taylors Falls and Prescott to help address tlus COncern.

SUMMARY OF RESPONSE TO JOHNSTON'S CRITICISM OF FORECASTS
The followmg are factual errors in "Review of the Analyses of the New St. CroIX RIver Bndgett
by Roben A Johnston, February. 1999 These errors are documented further 10 a SRF memo
dated Apnlll, 1999
1 Johnston provides no documentation or data to support hIS conclusIons regardlflg the
MerropoJJtan CouncIl forecasting models He did not prepare forecasts uSIng an
alternanve model
2 While Johnston cnticlzed the regional models, he chose to 19nore the Braun modeling
results (34-35,700 AnT in 2020) and based most of hiS analysis on the projections done
for the Fmal EIS in 1995 (41,000 ADT) which used an entirely different methodology
and are not relevant to the forecasts presently being used,
3
Contrary to Johnston's assertions. he was provided over 1,500 pages of detaIled
documentation on the regional models He was sent documentation of the regIonal
models and traffic data collecuon in August. 1998. documentation of the adaptation and
appl1cation of the models for the Braun process m September, 1998. and responses to hiS
questIons In October. 1998. Mr. Johnston was Invited to the Twm Cmes (expenses paid)
to dISCUSS the forecasts and the Metropolitan Council models twice, In August and
October, but he andlor MCEA refused those offen.
4 Contr'.uy to Johnston's assertIons that the Metropoht2.n Council models are "senously
flawed" and "obsolete", the Twin ClUes model IS a very good, highly reputable travel
forecasting model that uses many techniques that are considered advanced pracuces by
Industry standards including guidelines set in the NARC report he references.
5 Johnston makes several erroneous statements regarding the Metropohtan CouncIl models
As noted ir. an October 28. 1998 memo from SRF to Johnston.
Tnp generatIon is not fixed In the model
Tnp desunanons and lengths arc not fixed In the model
Mode shares are not fixed In the model
Time of day is not fixed in the model
The forecast was not an "aggregate forecast" extrapolated from past trends
Link queuIng penalties are used In the model to ellITunate over.asSlgnment of tnps
DI version of traffic was not based on the 0-0 survey
MultIple model iterations were run

Contrary to Johnston's assertlons, land use/growth Impacts related to congestion on tt:e
Stillwater Bndge were quantlfiec In the SRF analyslS The analysIs estImates a decrease
10 growth of 1,200 households il1 St CroIx County, which equates to 3 percent of
forecasted populatIon in 5t Croi}t County.
7 Johnston asserts that pol'ulatlon growth would be iO percent less than the forecasted
growth wnh the No BUlld Scenano In reahty. If the populatJon of St CroIx. County
contmues to Jncrease at the same rate it IS currently growmg, Johnston's populatlon
proJectlon w1l1 be reached in fIve years Thus, a 70 percent reductIon is noc a reasor.able
conClUS\Oll
8 Johnston's assertIon that the forecasts are "inflated by 45w61 percent" would result In
future traffIC volumes that would be lower than today's volumes. Thus. a 45-61 percent
reduct\on In the forecasts IS t'lot a reasonable conclusion
9 Johnston's assertIons that peak hour work ttJps on the bndge could be cut by 40 percent
through the use of shuttles and paid parIang at mlJof workplaces, and that non~work peak
hour tnps could be cut by half with a toll are unsubstantIated. This overly OptlmlsUc
expectanon may be because Mr.10hnston does not understand the dIspersIon of tnps on
the bridge. the nature of non-work tnps on thlS bridge, the eXIstIng TSMlfDM strategles
already in ?lace at 3M and Anderson Windows, the hIgh velucle occupancy on the
bndge, and the lack of pol1t1cal support for tolls In thIS regIon

Apnl 28, 1999
SUMMARY OF FOUR-LANE DECISION
As stated in the Amended Seeping Decision Document (published in February, 1999). construction
of a four-lane bridge is the only reasonable and prudent alternative for the following reasons'
1 If a new two-lane bridge were opened TODAY, It would be congested at least two hours per
day This would increase to at least five hours of congestion per day by the year 2020.
Even under an optunistic construction schedule, the bridge will not be open to traffic for at
least 5 years
2. Providing sufficient capacity at this location lessens the potential for additional
environmental impacts to the St Croix River and its valley, particularly north of Stillwater
which is a more pristine ponion of the river. Even Johnston acknowledges that the bridge
would be unacceptably congested after 20-30 years even if the bridge was tolled.
development was severely restricted by congestion and TSMlTDM programs were extremely
successful Due to their cost and environmentallmpacts, bridges must be built to last 50- I 00
years.
3. A two-lane bridge does not significantly reduce the bridge WIdth or construction cost due
to required safety design measures.
4.
There are serious safety concerns related to creating a short 2-Iane bottleneck on the bridge,
whicl1 would be further compounded by the curve and grade on the croSSlng. The Minnesota
approach TH 36 is a four-lane divided highway. Wlsconsm STH 64 near Somerset will be
upgraded to a four-lane divided highway in the next few years The Wisconsin STH 64
project has already been approved through a separate NEP A process.
5. As Wisconsm OovemorThompson said in his March3!, 1999 letter to Mi1U1esota Governor
Ventura. th1s bridge IS "a critical link in the National Highway System". The highways It
connects serve a statewide function in lWO states, supportmg state economies in areas outside
the Twin Cities, It is the states' responsibility to serve these needs as well as the needs of
the region
For these reasons, the Amended Seoping DecISIon Document concluded that a two-lane alternatIve
is not a reasonable or prudent expenditure for the proposed St Croix River crossing. Therefore, a
two-lane alternative will not be studied funhcr in the Supplemental Draft EIS.

SUMMARY ON GROWTH MANAGEMENT
Virtually everyone agrees that there IS a potential relationshIp between transportatlon capacny
and urban sprawl However, almost everyone would dispute Johnston's imphcauon that
transportation ALONE can control urbdn sprawl or manage growth There is extensive research
documentmg the r.lultlple econOJIl1C factors that mfluence location decisIons such as land costs,
schools, cnme, amenItIes, taxes, etc. Transponanon access IS a contnbutmg factor but not the
dominant feature in determmmg eIther cost of liVIng or quab~y of life
1 Contrary to Johnston's assemons, the forecasting analysis DID include a quantIficatIon of
growth Impacts. The analysis showed that by 2020, based on accesslblllty to Jobs,
appro~lmately 1200 households would not locate In WIsconSIn due to congestIon ThIS IS
an mcrease of about 3 percent in the population of St Croix County,
2.
Contrary to Johnston's asseruons, the prOVISIon of transportation capacIty does not
chctate development patterns. A companson of Woodbury and Lake Elmo, both located
along 1-94, is a good example Woodbury, on the south Side of 1-94, has openly
supported growth in Its pohCles and is a rapidly urbanizing area. Lake Elmo, on the nonh
SIde of 1-94, ha opposed growth 10 Its PObCICS and is growing much more slowly. Both
CItIes have comparable regIOnal transportatlon systems. If access across the nver were a
majOr dctemunate of growth, Hudson would be many tImes larger than It IS today.
.
3 The transporta.non plan for the Minneapol1sJSt Paul re810n was developed by the
MetropolItan Council to carry out and support the Regional Bluepnnt. This project is
mcluded In the current transportatIon plan and IS, therefore, conSIstent WIth the RegIonal
Blueprint. The Mcnopohtan Council has stated numerous times that thIS bndge is
consistent with the RegIonal Blueprint.
4. Counues and local units of government on both SideS of the nver have comprehensn.e
plans and zonmg orchnances in place. Transportation plans in both states prOVIde four
lane approaches to the bndge. A four-lane bridge 1$ conSIstent With state and local plans
in both Wlsconsm and Mmnesota.
5 WIth the managed dlstnbutJon of growth, the rural character of western WISconsin can be
retamed If deSired by the local commumues St. CroIx County has stated that the new
bndge Wlll help them concentrate development in communities along the east~west
roadway rather than nonh-south In the more environmentally sensltlve areas along the
nver.
6 The DOTs xr.ade a commitment m the Amended Scopmg DeCIsion Document to address
growth Issues further in the Supplemental Draft EIS

If we simply butld a two-lane bndge, we w1l1 have failed m three wa)'s, (1) we WIll not
have controlled growth, (2) we WIll have lost an opportunIty to influence how future
growth IS managed m the St CroIx RIver Valley, and (3) we wJ1J not have provided an
acceptable bl-state transportatlon system .

ANALYSES OF THE NEW ST. CROIX RIvER BRIDGE" (UA TED
FEBRUARY 17, 1999 AND RELEASED MARCB 23, 1999)
The Johnston report, "Review of the Analyses of the New St. CroIx RIver Bndge", dated
February 17, 1999, was commissioned by the MInnesota Councll for EnVlfonmental Advocacy
The report aggressIvely attacks the TWIn CitJes regtonal travel forecasting models and the
forecastmg completed during the Braun process last summer. The report also presents rhetoncal
arguments on urban sprawl, the effectiveness of TSMlTDM, and the suggestion that a two-lane
altemacJve should be acceptable,
.
The purpose of this memorandum IS to respond to the factual errors in Mr. Johnston's
report regarding the forecasting process and r~"UJts. It is not the Intent of thls memorandum
to argue the policy questions related to managing urban growth State and regtonal policy
makers who must take many factors Into consideration beSide the travel forecasts must decemune
those policies.
OUt assignment was to prepare 2020 travel forecasts usmg the TWIn Cmes regIonal travel
forecastmg model. We were to develop fOrecasts for SIX alten'latlves ranging In capacIty from
No BuIld to a Build alternative that Included four lanes on a new bndge and retention of the
eXISting two-lane bndge OUf data collection, forecasting methodology and forecastmg results
are \\-ell documented In several technIcal memoranda and In the September 28 Braun report.
Contrary to Johnston's assertion, over l.Soo pages of documentatIon were provlded to him All
documentatlon related to OUf data collection and the regJonal travel forecastmg models was
proVIded to Mr Johnston In August. 1998, Detaded documentation on the use of the models for
the St. CrotX Rivet Crossmg and the results of the forecasts were prOVIded to Mr Johnston In
September.1998 Wntten responses tc questIons Mr Johnston r8Jsed were prOVIded In October,

1998. A I1st of contacts WIth Mr Johnston and MCEA regardIng the forecasts IS aUdched Both
In August and November, Mr Braun and SRF offered to pay Mr. Johnston's expenses to travel
to the TWIn CIties to diSCUSS the forecasts and resolve any concerns that he had regarchng the
regIonal models and our project methodology Mr, Jonnslon and/or MCEA refused those offers
to meet and chscuss these Issues.
The follOWIng are responses to Mr. Johnston's report are.
1. Johnston makes many unsubstantiated comments and assertions.
Johnston provided no quantItatIve analYSIS or data to support hIS conclUSions, and It JS
eVIdent that forecasts using an alternatlve forecastIng model were not prepa.red ThIS
leads us to conclude that Johnston's reVIew and conclUSIons are unsubstantIated
While Mr Johnston was well aware of the ngorous modeling that was done dunng the
Braun process, he often chooses to Ignore thiS and, mstead, refers to projections prepared
for the Final EIS in 1995. These earlier projecuons were not prepared uSIng the regIonal
model because the model dld not Include the WIsconsin area affected by the bndge
Dunng the Braun process, the model was mocl1fied to include the affected WJsconsln
counnes, and new forecasts were prepared. The 1995 FEIS projections are, therefore, no
longer relevant. Johnston's report IS very IIllsleadmg as the report lmphes that cnuclSms
of the earher projections are valId for the regIonal models and for the forecasts prepared
uSing those models. ThIS IS not the case as the two processes were extremely dIfferent.
2.
Johnston is not correct in his assertion that a four-lane bridge is not consistent with
the Regional Blueprint.
The transportation plan for the Minneapobs/St Paul region is developed by the
Metropol1tan CouncIl to carry out and support the Regional Bluepnnt ThIS proJect 1S
Included in the CUlTent regIonal transportatlon plan and 15, therefore, conSistent WIth the
RegIonal Bluepnnt. The Merropol1tan Counctl has stated numerous tImes that this bndge
IS consistent With the Regional Blueprint
3. The Metropolitan Council's re:ionaI travel forecasting models use many techmques
that are considered advanced practices by mdustry standards. They are neither
"seriously flawed" nor "obsolete" as Johnston asserts.
Johnston uses the NARC uManual of Regional Transportation ModelIng Practice for Air
QUalIty AnalYSIS" to assert that the MetropolItan Councll's travel forecastlng models are
--senously flawed" and "obsolete". The Metropohtan CounCil and MnlDOT developed
the Twm CitIes models between 1990 and 1994 as pan of a major travel behaVIor
Inventory and model improvement program. The models use many techniques Idenufied
in the NARC report as --advanced pracnces". The MetropolItan CounCIl contmues to
fme-tune the models on an ongoing baSIS. The regIonal forecastIng process uses a
natlor.ally accepted standard -Your-step" approach WIth sequential generation,
chstnbutJon. mode chOIce and assignment models The models have been testeC and

vahdated for tlus region and the model modificatIons made for the Sr CroIx R1 ver
CrossIng proJect were vahdated WIth 1998 trafflc counts, ongln-deStInabOn surveys, and
trcl\cl time studies. The forecastmg methodology and results were prepared m
consultation wnh Mr. Keith Lawton from Portland Metro. Mr. Lawton IS a natIonal
expert m travel forecasting and has worked for many years wIth Portland ar.d orher CIties
on their forecastmg models
.
4. Mr. Johnston makes ~e"eraJ erroneous statements about the forecastlnl methods
used in our analysis.
On page 15, Johnston asserts that tnere are several "notable defIciencies" In the modeling
methodology Each of these assernons IS either Irrelevant or Incorrect
(1) Tnp generation IS NOT fixed an the model as claimed In the report. ACCCSSIbIltty IS
Included as a vanablc (population or employment wuhm a defined travel nme) The
models were calibrated based on a 9.800 household travel survey database, a very
respectable survey sample size
(2) The report Infers thiS was a "slJUll area study" that reqUlred an extraordmm y
treatment of mtra-zonal tnps. The forecasts were prepared as part of a large-scale
regIonal modeling effort to fully estimate the effects of travel changes. Any effect of
mtra.zonal mps WAS mirumized by proper zone defimtIon,
(3) DespIte a SpecIfiC response to thiS ISSue m our October 29, 1998 memorandum to Mr
Johnston, he is Incorrect m his assessment of how the model treats over-assIgnment
of trips Lmk queuing penaltles WERE used to elinunate the over-asSIgnment of .
tnps (above Set"/lce Level F) on congested bndge alternatwes
(4) DJVe~IOn of traffiC was NOT based on the O-D survey results as claImed In
Johnston's report To use the stated preference of the survey 10 modeling would be
mcorrect since the data does not take Into account traffic that has already chosen
alternate routes or tnp-makmg charactensncs. The O-D survey results along WIth
other traffic counts and travel ume surveys were used to ValIdate the data for eXlstmg
condmons
(5) Also as communIcated to Mr. Johnston In our October. 1998 memorandum, several
Iteratlons of the model WERE run for model equlhbratlOn. SRF conducted a senes
of tests of model eqUIlibration by runmng several combmations of iteranons of the
tnp distribunon, mode chOice and tnp assignment models The tests measured
changes In person tnps crossmg the St. CrOiX River and traffiC volumes on the
Sullwater and 1-94 bndges No significant changes In those numbers were observed
wIth mcreased model or sub-model1tcraoons beyond the two full mode! aeratIons
docum:nted In the September, 1998 repon.
(6) The lime-of-day model1ng, descnbed 10 the documentatIon provlced to !vir Johnston,
does NOT employ peak-related K-factors However, the mode!mg DID employ

methods still widely used. A more dynanuc nme-of-day model would shIft
unsatisfied peak hour mps (those not made or diverted to other bndgcs) back to the
St CroIx Bridge in a different hour, ultimately increasmg the daily forecast volume
and number of houn of congestion on the new bndge,
(7) The forecasts prepared for the Braun process DID Incorporate analysIs of a reduced-
growth No Build scenario
S. Contrary to Johnston's assertion, the forecasts prepared for the Braun process did
Incorporate a redllced gro,vth No Build stenario.
OUf analysis resulted In an expected 2020 reductIon in populatIon growth that equates to
about 3 percent of the forecasted populatIon 10 St. CrOIX County. It 1$ reasonable to
expect that reduced feSldennal development assumptIons due to peak-direction
congestion could affect the forecast demand under a No Budd alternative. It is not
reasonable to expect that reduced employment assumptlon.s in WIsconSIn would have the
same effect. In fact, it is reasonable to expect that having fewer jobs m Wlsconsm would
result in more travel to MInnesota. Therefore, It was more reasonable to only evaluate
changes In TCSldentIal development
6
Johnston's as5ertion that the forecasts are "innated by 45-61 percent" would result
in 2020 tramc volumes that could be lower than today's volumes
The Johnston report concludes, without any quantltal1ve analysIS provIded. that the No
Build forecasts are '"inflated by between 45-61 percent". The annual adjusted eXIsting
traffic volume on tee Stillwater Bndge is 15,100 vehIcles per day with actual counts
rangIng to over 19.000 last summer. The 2020 No Build forecast IS 23,900. If one
assumes that these forecasts are "inflated by 45-61 percent", then the "correct" 2020
forecast would be 14,84S to 16.483 vehicles per day. In other words, less than the
volumes today. Such a claim is NOT reasonable!
7.
The population level Johnston asserts would result in twenty years with a two-lane
bndge (70 percent less than the forecast) will be achieved in five years at the 1998
growth rate.
The Johnston report provIdes no quantitatJve analysis or data to support thiS conclusion
The reduced growth land use alternatIve developed by SRF for the Braun process
identlties the twelve communities most affected by reduced accesslbdlty. Based on the
SRF analysIs, the forecast growth in those communltles could be ~duced by 32 percent
by 2020, In reahty, the ~ductlon In growth w1l1 probably be much less since our analYSIS
assumed that people will relocate based solely on access to Jobs when, in reality, people's
locatIon deCIsions arc influenced by many other factOtS such as schools, crime, aestheucs,
land costs, taxes, etc. A 70 percent reduction woltld result in a twenty-year growth of
only 3,489 people. If growth 10 St. CrclX County continues at ItS current rate, Johnston's
2020 populatIon forecast will be reached In five years, Clearly, a 70 percent reductIon In
growth IS NOT reasonable. .

Johnston's assertions that peak hour work trips on the bridge could be cut by 40
percent through the use of sbuttles and charging for parkine at major workplaces
(e. e., 3M and Anderson Windows), and that non-work peak hour trips eould be cut
by half with a small toll are unsubstantiated.
.
Johnston proVIdes no analYSIS to support these conclusIons. Such hIgh percentage
reducnons would be ex~raordtnary even m very hIgh density urbamted areas. Dunng
preparauon of the FEIS, MnlDOT evaluated numerous alternatJves to determine the
effectiveness of theIr apphcatlon to thIs crossing and the surroundmg areas This analysIs
assumed an even wider array of TSM/I'DM strategIes, many of whIch are not presently
pohncally fe.lSlble, and ccmcluded that dally volumes could be reduced by less than 10
percent. Perhaps Johnston does not understand the hIghly dIspersed pattern of trafflc
usmg this crossing, the nature of recreational tnps crossing the nver, the eXIsting TDM
programs at 3M and Anderson Windows, the hIgh vehicle occupancy rate already
occumng on the Stillwater Bndge, and the political feasJbJlIty of congestlon pncIng and
tolls m thIS region. Based on these condlnons and the above referenced analysIs, Mr
Johnston's assertions regardtng the cffectlveness of employmg pumtIve TSMfI'DM
measures In the SttllwaterlHoulton area are NOT realIsnc.
Johnston uses unsubstantiated Concluslons drawn from the above erroneous assumptIons to argue
that a new four-lane bndge WIll cause unconstramed growth (urban sprawl) in westem
Wisconsin and, convel'SCly, that a new two-lane bndge WIll somehow prevent growth. NeIther
argument IS supported by documented analysIs or data. The forecast prepared for the Braun
process documents a more realistic reduced growth effect and the resulting furore travel demand
on the bndge. The results of thIS analysIs clearly Inmcate that, even WIth reduced growth, thele .
IS a future demand for a four-lane bridge.

recommended and makes a commitment to further address the issue of growth management In
