RevisIon to PUD Approval
I have received a request from Ken Latemo, the current owner of the last lot in Autumwood
SubdIvIsIon to construct a single family detached townhome on the last remaining lot due to
topography and development constraints
The Planmng Commission reviewed the request at last night's (July 9, 2001) and approved it
with the condItIon that the homeowners association sign off on the change.
The request IS a less intensive use of the site then what was approved in the PUD.
.
As with all buildIng permits, the City Engineer and planning department would reVIew the
development plans for drainage/grading access and building design.
Recommendation: Approval of request to construct smgle family detached structure with
homeowners association approval.

Mayor and CIty CouncIl
K1ayton Eckles, CIty Engmeer ~ I;'"
Date: 7-6-01
Subject: North HIll Improvement Heanng (proJect 2000-15)
.
DISCUSSION:
CIty staffhas receIved sIgmficant mput from the neIghborhood tlrrough two neIghborhood
meetmgs, phone conversatIons and letters. Attached are letters from MIke Campbell,
Ronald and Dons ChrIstofferson, Me10me Ebertz and John Krrshbaum, Ken Haryckt, Bnan
Larson, James D and Manlyn C MeIer, Margaret O'LoughlIn, and Dale and Jenmfer
Shaller, and a copy of a survey, whIch the North HIll resIdents have developed for therr own
use Through all the letters, conversatIons and dtscussions we have had WIth resIdents, It IS
clear that there are three ovemdmg concerns. These are the desIgn and aesthetIcs of the
proJect, the need for addttIonal outsIde fundtng sources and the ImpreSSIOn that the proJect
costs are unfarr Followmg IS a response to these issues
Project aesthetics and need for innovative designs.
People m the neIghborhood have made a maJor Issue of the general appearance of the
neIghborhood and deSIre to mamtam the rural flavor CIty staffhas remamed aware and
sensItIve to thIs Issue We have also approached the proJect WIth the mtent ofsatIsfymg our
obJectIves to proVIde necessary publIc utIlItIes and street that WIll be mamtenance free and
have a long lIfe Curb and gutter IS a VItal and necessary component to achIeve thIs goal m
many areas of the neIghborhood It IS very pOSSIble that streets could be constructed WIth a
narrow sectIon 5' to 8' less than the CIty standard WIdth of32'.
In response to the neIghborhood cntICIsm, CIty staff approached Brown's Creek Watershed
DIstrIct and requested the DIstrIct parbclpate m the project both financially and by
proVldmg engmeering design support. BCWD mdtcated they WIll consider thIs proJect for a
challenge grant for InnovatIve storm water practIces and would be Wlllmg to consIder
proVldmg some engineenng support to consIder alternatIve storm water deSIgn practIces It
should also be noted that m dtscussIon WIth the watershed dtstnct engmeer, the engmeer
was m agreement WIth that curb and gutter IS a necessary component for much of thIs
project area due to the extreme grades and steep slope condttIons
.
.
July 6, 2001
Search for outside funding sources
The neIghborhood has made a maJor Issue of the CIty'S apparent lack of zeal m searchmg
for outsIde fundmg sources In fact, CIty staff has looked mto potentIal fundIng sources
The vast maJonty of the fundIng sources proVIde the potentIal for very moderate financIal
support from vanous agencIes Also, much of the support, for InStance the challenge grant
for InnovatIve storm water practIces, often result m Ingher proJect costs and therefore the
Impacts on actual assessment rates IS neglIgIble Attached is a memorandum to NIle Knese1
InghlIghtmg some of the pOSSIble fundIng sources Commumty Development Block Grant
money (CDBG) IS by far the most promIsmg fundmg source and the neIghborhood has been
presented thIs poSSIbIlIty TIns funding source WIll be aVaIlable for low- and moderate-
Income reSIdents
.
Based on comments from certam reSIdents m the neIghborhood, there IS SIgnIficant
dISCUSSIon about gamenng state support through specIal legislatIon. Through dISCUSSIons
WIth representatIves, offiCIals famIlIar WIth the process, and consultIng compames mvolved
m the legIslatIve process, the pOSSIbIlIty of gammg specIal legIslatIon for a local
Improvement proJect IS extremely remote Also there IS the cost assocIated WIth pursuing
thIs optIon Ifwe WIsh to pursue specIal legIslatIon, thIs WIll delay the proJect at least one
year
Smce many of the outSIde fundIng sources do not have a maJor Impact on the total proJect
costs, the approach staff took was to set the assessments first Assummg we find an
acceptable assessment rate, any mInor funding assIstance we receIve could be used to offset .
the CIty'S financIal contrIbutIon to the proJect Thus, our ongmal assumptIons mc1uded the
POSSIbIlIty of some minor reductIons m the CIty'S drrect contrIbutIon to the proJect.
Impression that the project costs are unprecedented
CIty reSIdents have raIsed the Issue of extreme level of these assessments. It is true that the
numbers assoCIated WIth thIs proJect are quite Ingh even WIth the CIty pIcking up over 50%.
In all preVIous attempts at completIng thIs proJect, the CIty had assumed that 100% of the
cost be charged to the reSIdents. In order to reduce the Impact of some of these high
assessments, CIty staffhas proposed the follOWIng: CDBG money for 10w- and moderate-
mcome, deferments for semors and dIsabled, deferments on extra ServIces and a relaxatIon
on the CIty'S polIcy for hook-up Wlthm one year
In order to respond to the questIon regarding the appropnateness of the assessment levels,
CIty staff has prOVIded copIes of two feasIbIlIty reports for proJects that have SIgnIficant
sImIlanty to thIs one. FIrst you'll find m the packet, the feaSIbIlity report for the Kingswood
Estate AddItIon In LakeVllle, MN Discussion WIth the Metropohtan CouncIl suggested that
I talk to LakevIlle because It had a proJect of such simIlar nature. This proJect was assessed
m 1998 and it mvolved 2110ts Each lot was charged $24,000 for samtary sewer,
watermam and street benefits. The proJect was simIlar because It was an eXIStIng
neIghborhood WIth large lots and essentially no publIc utIlItIes In thIs proJect, the CIty of
LakeVllle paId for 51 % of the proJect and the reSIdents paId for 49%
.

July 6, 2001
The other proJect mcluded for CouncIl's reVIew, IS a proJect known as the Furlong AddItIon
Tlus IS one proJect I have great famthanty WIth Tlus proJect IS very sImIlar to the North
HIll proJect It was an Isolated neIghborhood WIth a mIXture oflarge lots, smal110ts, low
mcome, illgh mcome and a slgmficant populatIon of semors The project provIded SanItary
sewer, water and a trunk storm sewer to control lake levels No maJor street Improvements
were mcluded In 1990, the proposed assessment was approxImately $10,150. Bnngmg
thIs proJect up to date and adJustIng for mflatIon, thIs proJect would have been assessed at
approxImately $15,000 per average lot Consldenng the proJect dId not mclude new streets
WIth curb and gutter nor dId It mclude maJor storm sewer enhancements, It compares qwte
favorably to thIs proJect As a footnote, It should be added that the Furlong proJect
assessments were successfully sustamed WIth lIttle or no appeals or adJustments.
Fmally, I have attached a copy of the estImated constructIon costs for the new development
known as Amundson Place Tlus development IS receIVIng VIrtually IdentIcal
Improvements mcludmg SanItary sewer, watennam, storm sewer and street The proJect
does not mclude any costs for easement acqwsltion as the developer proVIdes that
However It does have some costs for grading and erosIOn control The attached estImate
shows cost per umt at $15,700. Note that thIs IS only the constructIon costs and at least 25%
should be added to cover design, mspectIon, surveymg and financmg. Also a contIngency
of 5-1 0% IS normally added These addItIonal figures bnng the estImated cost per lot to
$21,195 Tlus proJect IS somewhat dIfferent ill that It IS all new constructIon however It IS
comparable because It proVIdes the same publIc utIlItIes that currently do not eXIst on the
North HIll
.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that CouncIl hold the reqwred Improvement heanng for the North HIll
ProJect Tlus proJect can go fOIWard on a 4/5 vote. If CounCIl does not approve thIs proJect
at thIs tIme, CouncIl could dIrect staff to take addItIonal actIons with the intent ofho1dmg a
future publIc hearing on the proJect or If the project fm1s for the lack of approval, CouncIl
could SImply set the proJect asIde.
ACTION REQUIRED:
If CouncIl elects to move fOIWard WIth thIs proJect, a 4/5 vote IS reqUIred to pass a
resolutIon closing the publIc hearing and ordenng the North HIll Improvement ProJect

West WIllow Street mcludmg the watermam and sewer costs which are redundant smce I
have perfectly functlOnmg well and septiC, the two planned easements on my property of
whIch I do not approve, the lack of commumty mput m the planmng process and the fact
that the City has not exhausted all fundmg prospects for the Project.
I would apprecIate the opportumty to speak to these concerns at the July 10 meetIng
As always, I know that Mayor KImble, the Stillwater City Council, and City Staff are
dedicated publIc servants domg what they belIeve IS best for the reSidents of the North

Dear Mayor Kimble and my council members,
We are residents of the North Hili, 1924 1st st. We have one of the oldest sites In the area, In fact
It is a farmstead that sttIf has the ongmaf outbUltdfngs and even a three-hoIe cedar SIded
outhouse from the late 1800's. Our house sits on a double lot and our goal has always been to
preserve the site antact. Your expensiYe proposal to overhaul Dutchtown would no doubt put that
SIte In flnanaal ,JeOPardy for us, causing a great loss to the history of the area If we were forced
to sub-divlde because of the inabllrty to pay the costs. Our story IS probably somethmg that
would be echoed throughout the community. Your deciSIOn to move forward with your plan could
permanently change this historic area In a devastating way. We need and Insist on having a voice
and a representabve that Will take the time to listen.
Thank you,

Re. North HIli Sewer & Water Project
Dear Mr Teny Zoller.
I am wntmg to mge you to vote for defemng the North HIli project for 1 year WhIle the engmeenng of
the project has advanced, I don't believe the CIty has done everything necessary to explore all possIble
fundmg sources. We are looking at very hIgh assessments and I believe that there is no harm m delaying
the project for one year to see If addItIonal fundmg sources can be found
At my own expense, I have undertaken a complete survey of all residents that have a pendIng sewer and
water assessment I hope to be given the oppOrtunIty to present the results at the July meeting. Based on
mltIal calls and responses, I thmk you will fmd that the reSIdents of the "North HIli" are very concerned
and worried about the project
Again, please conSIder defemng the project for one year so that addItIonal funds can be found Thanks for
your consIderation

Stillwater City Hall
Stillwater, MN 55082
Dear Mayor and Council,
As a resident of the Dutchtown area, I'm writing this letter regarding the proposed
North Hili Sewer and Water project I've attended most of the public meetings and
several neighborhood get-togethers regarding thiS project
As you know, the proposed project (as outlined In the feasibility study) IS big and
complicated, because of thiS It IS difficult to accept the project with a Simple yes or
no Let me outline concerns I feel first need to be addressed
.
Virtually everyone agrees we need new streets Implied with thiS IS that we need
some system of storm sewerage as well. Neighborhood Input and pOSSible
profession adVice IS Important In thiS regard, but from what we've heard from CounCil
and Brown's Creek Watershed District (BCWD), thiS IS likely a problem with a
workable solution
A key Issue to the neighborhood is the extent of sanitary sewer and water
Again, east of Second street, thiS may be essential, west of Second It IS viewed by
many as not necessary The City argues It makes economic sense to put samtary
and water In everywhere If streets and storm are gOing In, some reSidents argue
these Will never be necessary and add unnecessarily to the project cost
The most difficult asDeCt of the oroied is its cost, olain and simole. When It
became clear at an early meeting that little effort had been made to find additional
sources of funding, many reSidents became very Indignant This is a very unique
project, in a unique geographicltopographic area that directly affects both
Brown's Creek and the St. Croix River It seems that with these special
Circumstances, and costs, some unique sources of funding should be available
.
My discussions with Brown's Creek Watershed DIStnct, the Met CounCil, and the
Minnesota DNR Indicate there may be some outside sources of funding available for
deSign and construction I was thankful and encouraged to hear from BCWD and
the Met CounCil that Klayton Eckles had recently contacted them and IS pursuing
some of these sources ThiS IS certainly a step In the right direction (Klayton has
also done a commendable job mediating sometimes contentious public meetings)
I encourage CounCil at thiS pOint to direct staff to actively pursue all reasonable
sources of funding, including grant applications and contact With state and county
representatives To allow for thiS, the project should be postponed for at least one
year, until we can be reasonably assured that all potential sources of funding have
been examined (ThiS assumes that postpomng the project WIll not Jeopardize the
funding already set aSide for It, as Mr Rhelnberger inSISts WIll happen)
.
To summanze, two key components In achieving residents support for this project
are
1 Ensure meaningful design inout throughout the oroiect, by both a cItizens'
group and by professional review This IS the City'S biggest public works project
ever The designers are staff, not consultants specially selected for their
successful completion of similar projects No matter how well-Intentioned and
competent the staff designers are, input from a citizens group and from a
professional design consultant will make this a better project. The
Citizen's group IS Intent on maintaining the character of the neighborhood, a
professional design consultant specializing In alternative englneenng solutions
may help make thiS project lower-Impact (and hopefully lower cost) BCWD IS
Willing to help pay for thiS consultant
2 Reduce the assessed cost of the oroiect to residents, by reducing the
scope/complexity of the work, finding alternative funding sources, and
having the City assume a larger burden of the overall cost In the end, the
percentage assumed by the City means little, the bottom line cost in
assessments to each resident is what counts
I think that If the cost IS reduced considerably, the majority of affected reSidents
realize that new streets, storm, sanitary sewer and water are In the best Interests of
themselves, the City, and the environment, and Will support thiS project
.
Sincerely,
Bnan Larson

Attn: Klayton Eckles
Re: North Hill Project
Dear Council Members,
Marilyn and I are in favor of the proposed street, water and sanitary improvements
assocIated WIth the North Hill Project, but we would like to VOIce strong concerns
regarding the budgetary I financial implications and the timing of such an undertaking.
We believe that the projected cost ofthe project compared to the number of homes involved
seems out of balance. We believe that a delay to allow time for the City to investigate
additional means of financial support be granted. Due to the umque topographical features
of the area which includes hills, bluffs, ravines, and protected waterways, the cost to
improve thts area IS exceSSIve to homeowners. We suggest that the city assess the affected
homeowners at rates equivalent to "straight and level" streets, and that the city assume a
larger percentage of the cost.
Regarding our property located at 405 West Hazel Street
· In 1997, we p81d an assessment for the Hazel Street Ravine Storm Sewer
Improvement. We were advised that a credit would be applied to the current proposed
assessment. It does not appear that this is the case.
· We were told that only the affected drainage area would be assessed. It appears that the
entire area of our property was assessed even though much of our property drains to
Brown's Creek. This needs to be reviewed.
· Our lot IS one of the larger lots on the North Hill. However, our home was built on the
only buIldable area of the lot with the balance of the property being steep ravines. Due
to the topography of our property, we are unable to subdivide our lot. It was suggested
to us that homeowners who would not benefit from subdividing would be assessed at a
more equitable rate.
· Only 80' of our property is on the street, yet the proposed assessment appears to reflect
a greater amount.
.
In summary, we support the project but recommend that additional time is needed to pursue
additional financing. We expect a greater equity In the assessment process based upon the
above points. We expect the character of the neighborhoods be maintained and that
engineers I contractors be chosen based on experience with the unusual topographical
features within the project. We and our surrounding neighbors appreciate the city's
willingness to work together with us in accomplishing thts task.
.

Dear Mayor Kunble and Members of the CIty CouncIl
We are wntIng to express our concerns about the proposed North HIlI Sewer Project Smce we have been
unable to attend all of the recent publIc meetmgs related to tins project, we wanted to put our concerns m
wntmg for your conSIderatIon m advance of the specIal CouncIl meetIng on July 10
We have been resIdents at our home on North Fourth Street smce May of 1989 Over the past ten years
we have wItnessed sIgIlIficant new resIdentIal development throughout the North HIlI area and especIally
m our own neIghborhood We are concerned about the Impact of thIS development on the carrymg
capacIty of the land, and are well aware of the problems It has contnbuted to m terms of erOSIon due to
storm run-off and possIble well contanunatIon We therefore understand the need to address the basIC
mfrastructure Issues that have motIvated the proposed project We are, however, concerned about the
way m whIch these Issues wIll be addressed Our concerns mclude the followmg
· If tins project moves forward, we strongly urge the CIty to conSIder all pOSSIble means for mInImIzmg .
the enVIronmental and VISUal Impact of the constructIon, and for preservmg the unIque semI-rural
character of the area that IS one of Its strongest assets We speCIfically oppose any unnecessary
wIdeIlIng of streets or addItIon of new street lIghtIng and/or SIdewalks
· If the project moves forward, we strongly favor the creatIon of a CItIzens AdVISOry CommIttee
composed of local reSIdents, to work WIth the CIty to reflect the preferences and concerns of the
commumty as the project unfolds In a project of thIS scale, many CruCIal decISIons cannot be
foreseen and must be made along the way The only way to assure contInued reSIdent Input m the
process IS to establIsh an ongomg, formal means of communIcatIon and counsel that a CItIzens
AdVISOry CommIttee could prOVIde
· The estImated cost of thIS project wIll certaInly cause great hardslnp to many reSIdents The
estunated cost to US alone IS over $40,000 If tins project moves forward, the CIty must pursue all
pOSSIble sources of finanCIal support to help defray the cost unpact on all reSIdents
Thank you for the opportunIty to prOVIde tlus mput m advance of the July 10 meetmg We look forward
to actIvely partICIpatIng In the decIsIon-makmg process related to thIS proposed project

Mr Mayor and CouncIl members
Last week we under took a survey of all resIdents that were bemg assessed for sewer and
water on the North HIll proJect Roughly 120 surveys were delIvered by the Umted
States Postal ServIce on Saturday June 30 To date we have receIved 54 responses
The survey asked the followmg questIOns
1) Ignonng the cost factor, do you generally favor proceedmg WIth the proJect?
Of the 52 people that responded to thIS questIon, half opposed proceeding with the
project.
2) In lIght of your estImated assessment, would you be m favor ofpostpomng the proJect for a
year m order for the cIty to explore obtammg addItIonal funds?
Of the 53 people that responded to thIS questIon, 98% of the respondents were in favor
of delaying the project to find more money. Clearly, everyone feels that the cIty has
more work to do m fundmg the proJect
3) Do you favor storm sewers?
Of the 53 people that responded to thIS questIon, 57% saw a need for storm sewers.
4) Do you favor road repairs?
Of the 53 people that responded to thIS questIon, 75% of residents saw a need for road
repairs The other 25% percent must have good shocks on theIr cars or don't dnve
5) Do you favor puttmg m curb and gutter?
Of the 53 people that responded to this questIon, 70% opposed curb and gutter ThIs
correlates closely to the response m questIon 9
6) Do you favor mcrease street hghtmg?
54 people responded to thIS question, 93% opposed additional lighting Agam thIs
questIon closely correlates to questIon 9 Several people commented that they enjoyed
bemg able to see the stars at mght
.
7) Do you favor mamtaming the current street wIdth?
54 people responded to thIs questIon and 93% saw no need to widen the streets One
person proposed decreasmg the wIdth of the street
8) Are you mterested in puttmg m sIdewalks?
52 people responded to thIs questIon and 96% of residents were opposed to sidewalks
9) Is maintaImng the detached! rural appearance of the North HIll Important?
53 people responded to thIS questIon and 81 % cited this as an important factor Many
commented that thIS IS why they came to thIS area. Once mSlghtful reSIdent stated that
parts of the hIll remmded them of a country lane rather than a tradItIonal suburban
development
10) The Mayor has suggested that he would be open to the city provldmg addItIonal funds If the
CIty were to contnbute an extra 10% and addItIonal fundmg of $1 mIllIon were found, would
you be mclIned to challenge your assessment m lIght that your assessment would be
drastically lower then what IS now proposed?
.
52 people responded to thIs questIOn and 58% would not be inclined to challenge the
assessment if more money were found.
11) Assummg there was a mlmmal cost to you, would you be mclIned to fight the proposed
assessment as It stands today, WIthout addItional funds, on grounds that the value of your
property hasn't mcreased?
51 people responded and 71 % felt that they would challenge the assessment on
grounds that the assessment did not increase the value of their property. One
respondent even stated, "no way could I sell my property and add $35,000 to the selling
pnce. I'm stIll m shock that the CIty could bIll me that amount WIth a straIght face I'll
gladly chip m for any legal fees fund or class actIon to bnng the cost down to a much
more reasonable level"
In analyzmg the cumulatIve survey, It appears that residents overwhelmingly want to maIntam the
unIque appearance of the North Hill The majonty of people do not want standard CIty
mfrastructure such as sidewalks, lighting, and wide streets, however street maintenance (or lack
there of) was a priority TIns VIew IS remforced m theIr stance on curb and gutters, 70% of the
people do not want to see curb and gutters. ReSIdents are m favor of maIntammg the current
unique look to the area One reSIdent stated that they lIke the country lane appearance
.
.
QuestIon 2 clearly mdIcated that almost every person respondmg to the survey feels the cIty hasn't
done enough to bnng the cost down One person noted, "thIs entIre proJect was pushed through too
qUIckly The pnce tag reqUIres us to look for addItIonal sources of fundmg over the next year "
QuestIon 11 correlates to the results m questIon 2, In that many people feel that the assessments are
too hIgh If addItIonal funds were found 29% fewer reSIdents would be InclIned to challenge an
assessment ThIs would mdlcate that more people would feel the assessment was faIr.
At the Tuesday meetIng we expect to have more responses and hope to be gIven the opportumty to
update these figures
Smcerely,
Ken & Mary Harycki

Re: Possible Funding Assistance for the North Hill Project
One of the maJor issues that the North HIll resIdents have raised regardIng the proJect is the
need for the CIty to look for additional fundIng methods The Engineering Department has
been exploring possible outside fundIng sources. I provide you with the following lIst so that
other departments can explore and pursue these potentIal options.
There are limited fundmg optIons available for this project due to the fact that it is a local issue
Traditionally, these types of projects have been funded at the local level. I have asked some of
these agencies to send us addItIonal information, which I WIll provide to you when It arrives
.
Funding Method
I Community
Development Block
Grant
Notes
This is the most promismg funding source that the City can
administer. It would apply to low and moderate income and
could eliminate or reduce yearly assessments.
2 Brown's Creek
Watershed DIStrict
Challenge Grant
BCWD and BWSR offer challenge grants for mnovabve storm
water management technIques. Note that mnovative
techniques often cost more than p-aditIonal methods and
therefore, this $40-80,000 grant would have limited effect on
assessments.
SWCD offers erosion control reduction grants In the amount of
$20,000 a year.
The MPCA has a project priority list which offers competitive
loans for the construction of waste-water facilIties. Interest
rates are approximately 4%.
Low interest loans are provided for water distribution system
assistance.
MetropolItan Council has limited funding programs for storm
water management projects that protect natural resources.

MEMO TO: KINGSWOOD ESTATES RESIDENTS
FROM: KEITH l'i"ELSON, P.E. ~ /
1G(~ CITY EN'GINEER 7 ~
DATE: FEBRUARY 9, 1998
SUBJECT: ASSESSMENT FOR KINGSWOOD ESTATES - UTILITIES & STREETS
IMPROVEMENT PROJECT 96-6
In the feasibility report for erenced project, there are 21 units proposed to be
assessed. Each unit . a $24,000 for sam sewer, watermain and street benefits. Of that,
$17,600 IS to be assessed for street ene ItS and sanitary sewer, and $6,400 would be collected
for water main benefit at the time each unit connects to the water main. The $6,400 is in addition
to standard watermain connection fees and charges.
It's my understanding that some residents believe the assessments should be lowered due to the
subdIvision of the Bass property because the City is collectmg an additional assessment.
Please be advised that the assessments would not be reduced for the following reasons:
· The estimated project cost presented in the feasibility report was $900,835 of which
only $439,425 would be assessed or collected with water main connectIon as
identified above. The City IS fmancing the remaining cost.
· The actual bid by the Contractor was approximately $27,000 higher than estimated.
· The project costs exceeded the bid proposal by $20,500 00 just for the additional cost
to maintain traffic and emergency vehicle access during construction.
Please call if you have any questions.

Feasibility Report
Kingswood Estate Addition

Lakeville, Minnesota
.
Project History
On March 14, 1996, a neighborhood Informational meetmg was held at
the Orchard Lake Elementary School regarding possible infrastructure
improvements to the Kingswood Estates residentIal area. The purpose of
the meetIng was to Inform the resIdents of the results of Individual
Sewage Treatment System (ISTS) testIng done in the area, and
alternatives available. It was pointed out that existIng on-site systems
were at least 20 years old and that at least six systems needed attention .
soon to avoid Department of Natural Resources (DNR) remedIal action.
Other possible improvements (Le., street, water, storm sewer) were also
discussed at this time, due to the very real poSSIbility of having to install
CIty sanitary sewer. After a group discussion, the reSIdents decided to
petition the Council for a more detailed study of alternatives. A copy of
the minutes from this meeting, the Council petition, and the April 1 , 1996
Council Agenda item are attached in Appendix D. The Councll received
the petition on April 1, 1996, and ordered the preparation of this
Feasibility Report.
At the March 14, 1996 meeting, CIty staff said that an additional meeting
would be held to discuss specifics on cost and assessments. The second
meeting was held on October 29, 1996, at City Hall. Four separate
options were looked at, combining the possibilitIes of sanitary sewer,
water main, storm sewer, and street reconstructIon. In general, the group
agreed that since the road was to be tom up for sanitary sewer, it made
sense to install water and reconstruct the street. However, the anticipated
cost of these improvements was high, and no fIrm consensus was reached
at the meeting. The Minutes from this meeting are attached In
Appendix E.

Subsequent to the October 29, 1996 meetIng, several informal meetIngs
between staff and representatIves of the neighborhood were held. The
purpose of these meetings was to determine a method of financing the
proJect that was responsible to both the reSIdents and the City as a whole.
UltImately, the method offmancing the proJect outlined m the remainder
of tlus report was delineated.
As a final step pnor to the preparation of this report, assessment waIvers
and the necessary easements were obtained from the affected residents.
Therefore, at the time of presentation of tlus report, the proposed costs,
assessment procedures, and access to the property have been reviewed
and accepted by the residents of the area.
All property owners have agreed to the nnprovement and have signed a
PublIc Improvement and Special Assessment Agreement. The project
locatIon is shown m DraWIng 1.

16475 Kingswood Drive, and 16485 KIngswood Drive. The exact
number and location will be known in the design phase.
A sewage lift station WIll be installed on Kingswood Dnve across from
the Kingswood Court intersectIon. Sewage will be pumped to the gravity
line installed in 1996 in Klamath Path cul-de-sac. A forcemain was
installed as part of the Kingsley Cove 2nd Addition from the cul-de-sac
to the back property line of Lot 5, Block 2, Kingswood Estate Addition
in anticipation of these improvements.
Water Main
Water main to serve the Kingswood Estate Addition is shown on
Drawing 2. In order to serve the addition, trunk water main is needed on
Klamath Trail as shown on Drawing 3. The area westerly of Kingswood
Drive on Klamath Trail slopes downward and away from Klamath Trail
at a steep grade. A portion of the existing road surface may require
removal and replacement in order to accomplish the water main
installation in the area otthis rugged terrain. A 12-inch trunk water main
is proposed on Klamath Trail, an 8-inch water main on Kmgswood Drive,
and 6-inch water mains on Kingswood Court and on Kmgsley Court. FIre
hydrants are proposed to be installed at spacmgs not exceeding 500 feet.

Storm Sewer
The storm sewer is shown on Drawing 2. The storm sewer will provide
an outlet for the pond located on Lots 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, Block 2,
Kingswood Estate AddItion as well as controlling storm water runoff on
Kingswood Drive. Storm water discharge will be to Kingsley Lake There
is no area available for pretreatment of storm water before dIscharging
into Kingsley Lake. However, sump catch basms will be used to collect
sand debris prior to discharge. There will be no net change in the volume
of storm water runoff from existing conditions.

Streets
The streets proposed are shown on Drawing 2. The road sectIon consists
of 1 ~ inches of Type 41 wearing course, 2 inches of Type 31 base
course, 6 inches of Class 5 aggregate base, and 2 feet of select granular
borrow. The roadway width shown is 32 feet back to back of curb in
accordance with City's standards. A narrower road width of28 feet back
to back of curb may be considered due to the topography and the dead-
end condition that presently exists. The narrower road would be .
considered east ofKingswood Court with restricted parking on the north

INTRODUcrION
'l'his is a sU1ll1Dary of tbe attached feasibility report.
Recommendations and Ac~ion Required are also addressed in
this llle1l1o.
)j
FEASIBILITY REPoRT SrJMHARY
~. residents of ~e Furlong neighborhood have raised
concerns about ground water quality and railing septic
systems. A feasibility report bas been completed to
determine the cost to serve Furlong. In addition to serving
the Furlong area, a lat'qe portion of the land in the 055
Corridor" would also be partially served.
The total cost to bring sewer, water, and storm sewer to
Furlong and the 20+ acres of commercial. property would be
$1,177,000. Funding for this project could came from three
sources: TIF, Assessments, and Kn/Dot cost sharing for ston
sewer. The contribution of each is listed below:
Assessments
TIF
)In/Dot
$6.13,'700
$4'2,800
$40,500
TOTAL $1,177,000
The resulting assessment rates would mean eaoh resident in
the Furlong neighborhood Would pay $9,700 for ~ewer and water
and between $300 and $2,000 for storm sewer. The average per
lot ~ss.ssment would be $~0,150. C01lUllercial land would be
assessed $4,000 per aore for sewer and $4,000 per acre for
water.
This pro~eot could })e constructed in the 1991 construction
season W1th a completion time in the fall of 1991. In order
to meet this time frame the engineering and easement
acquisition would have to begin this Fall.

FEASIBILITY REPORT
PUBLIC UTILITIES TO SERVE THE FtJRI.QNG AND ADJACENT AlmAS
(Update of 11Ilprovement 86 Project 4)
By: Xlayton H. Bck1es
Date: August 16, 1990

HI bHJ..l.b (tv
:UJTRODUCTION
Residents of the Furlonq area recently petitioned 'the City
for Public improvements to serve the Furlong Neiqhborhood.
II This request was brouqht about because of concerns about
ground water quality and tailing septic systems.
Many reports on this area have been c01DPlei:ed over the years
which addressed the possibility ot serving the area with
sewer and water. These old report. were completed prior to
the Howard Dahl~en Highway 55 Corridor Development Study, so
no serious conal.deration was given to future developent
beyond Furlong. Therefore much of the information ~n the old
reports is incomplete or overly conservative.
staff has completed a new feasibility re~rt which hopefully
remedies 'these past problems. The fOllowing report will
discuss the proposed 1 a rout of public utilities, the cost of'
these utilities, possib e fundinq sources, assessment rates,
time tables and other misoellaneous faotors which are _
important to the final decision on installation of utilities.
DJ;SCOS~ION
Al~ough this ~roject is intended to serve the Furlong
Neighborhood, 1t would actually provide service Cor partial
service) ~o the majority o~ the "55 Corridor". Any areas in
the corridor which didn't qet direct benefit, would at least
gain the abili~y to be served by future extensions. The
following table shows those ~arcels which would receive
direct benefit from this proje<*:

Areas of 'the cemetery will gain future benefit because this
project would br1nq the sewer and water into the vicinity.
It can be seen that althouqh this project would be very
expensive, a qood portion of it would directly or indirectly
benefit areas other than the Furlonq neighborhood.
utilities
The attached drawinqs show the proposed utility layouts.
sanitary sewer is 'the most expensive item in the project.
The sanitary sewer on Ente~rlse Drive would have t:o be
extended north under the ra1lroad tracks, then east under
T.H. 55. These two crossings add significantly to the
overall cost.
Comple~ion of the san1tary sewe~ would immediately serve
Georqe 's Golf Tee, the Brooks Investment Co. property, the
Furlonq Nei9hborhoOd, the Hotel, and Larson' s Greenhouse. In
the future 1t could be extended north and south of Lake Lemay
to serve the Resurrection lands which could be developed (as
~escribed in the 55 Corridor study). The total cost to
1nstall the sewer as shown on the attached drawing would be
$620,000. .
The watermain would have to be extended north froDl Kendota
Heights Road, and would terminate at Acacia Road. In the
future it would b. looped all the way up 1:0 the Centre Pointe
South Business Park (this looping would have to be done in
oonjunction with the Kendota Intercbanqe Project). The
watermain would serve portions of the Roqer' s Road
Neighborhood, the southern parcel owned by Resurrection, the
Furlong Neighborhood, the Hotel, and Larson' s. The total
cost of the wa~ermain in this project would be $351,000.
storm sewer is needed to control the level of Lake Lemay; so
this project would include installation of an outlet. A
large area of approximately 200 acres would be served at a

cost of about $206,000.
Jf There would be no street improvements coupled with this
project other than the restoration of the Furlong
Neighborhood streets. It is ~roposed that the streets which
are removed as part of the ut11ity installation be restored
to their existing rual section (2" bituminous, 20' wide).
The cost to restore the streets is included as part of the
sanitary sewer cost discussed above.
To construct the streets to the urban design s'tandard would
I be quite expensive. BOUlevard gradinq, additional storm
sewer, curb and gutter, and more bitUllinous would be
required. The cost coulCl be more than It.i r ~ per un! t to
~rovide urban streets, therefore this option seems
~mpraotical.
Project costs:

Storm Sewer
Total Project Cost
$620,000
$351,000
$206,000
$1,177,000
The total project cost to serve the Furlonq area and about 20
acre~ of co..ereial land would b. $1,177,000. In addition to
the benefit received by Furlong and the ocmuaercial land, this
project would enable future developaent of land along 'l'.B.
55.
Sources of Pundinq
The cost of ~is large project cou1d be covered by ~ee
sources of funding: Tax Increment Financinq, Assessments,_
and cos~ sharinq with Hn/Dot.
The area to be served all lies in the Handota Heights Tax
Increment District. In 1984 as part of the Garron
Feasibili'ty report, 'the use of TIP money to pay ~or some of
the sewer and water was discussed and the concept was
approved. In the current report TIP is proposed to be used to
reduce the assessments to all properties served by utilities.
Therefore the Furlong Neighborhood wouldn not be the only
benefactor of TIF assistance in the area.
In order to determine a fair method of TIP assistance a
detailed TIP/Assessment formula has been created. A set of
basic guidelines has been established which was then used to
lI!.IU~tII
vr V~'~YV~ ~v ~. I~A U~~.~~OD.V
~
.aC.'VV1A n1.1r1~ 111)'
190p. It aDDears th~s.fundinq Rlin would fall within the
C~tyl~ ~ fund1bg ~~m~ts.
The end result of this process is the following assessment
rates:
Residential Sewer: ~o p~ uni~
(includes Street)
Residential water: ~oo per unit ~
CODDDercial Sewer: $4,000 per acre
Commercial Water: $4,000 per acre
storm Sewer: ~100 per acre J
jj
So a typical 15,000 sq. foot residential lot would receive an
assessment of abou~ $10,150 for San1tary, Water and Storm.
~be difference fram lot to lot would vary only because of
area storm sewer assessments, with a lower and upper range of
$10,000 and $12,150.
An important question which should be answered is Why the
proposed per lot assesSJDents came in lower than previous
estimates. Past esti-.tes haVe ~een quoted at anywhere
between $10,000 and $25,000. But the more recent informal
..tilDates, with some !l'J:F inCluded, were at around $15,000 per
~ot. This report estimates the per lot assessment to be
$10,150. There are several reasons for this reduction.
The most important reason the per lot assessment came down is
that this report: is more comprehensive and detailed, so lIluch
of the uncertainty has been eliminated. This reduces the
need for conservatislIl. Also the project costs can be spread
over a wider area. As the earlier table &bOllis, there is a
larve number of ~roperties which would be served by this
proJect. In add~tion, earlier estima~es did not haYe a good
grasp of how much TIF would be available. As a final point,
so.. of the earlier estimates that were 'Very high included
the cost of homeowner switoh-over.
Xt should be made clear that additional costs would be
r.ali~ed by residents after the completion of this project.
Sewer and water hook up costs, well capping and Clrainfield
clean-up miqht all be necessary, which could cost each
resident over $5,000.

Pro;ect ~ Frame
If This project would involve some very difficult and time
consuming engineering work before it could be bid. Easements
would be necessary frOD about 15 property owners, many who
oppose the p~oject. If the easaaent aCqQisition procedure
were started immediately, easements could probably be
obtained in time for construction ot this pro~ect next year.
Early fall of 1991 is about the earliest poss~ble completion
time.
It had been thought that much of this project could have been
constructed in conjunction with the Mendota Interchange
project. Hewever, the interchange will not be started until
1992 with co~letion in 1993 (latest Kn/Dot estimate). The
good news is that it appears the interchange is the number
one priority for our district; Hn/Dot is workinq hard on the
design presently.
Conclusion
The Furlong Neighborhood and surrounding areas could be
served wi~ sanitary sewe~, water and storm sewer by
extending existing utilities from Mendota Heights Road and
Enterprise Drive. The tet:al cost of such a project would be
about $1,177,000. Although it .ight be difficult, it appears
that this project could conceiVably be completed in the 1991
construction season.
Tax Increment money could be used to cover 80me of the
extraordinary costs: the amount proposed in 'this report is
within the City 'lIF budget guidelines. The remaining costs
would be funded by assessments and s~e ainor Xn/Dot cost
sharing. Assessments would be about $10,150 for each
residential unit, and $4,000 per acre for sewer ~.water in
commeroial areas. Residents could expect to rea11ze $5,000
in additional costs for switch-over and abandonment.

would take place 2002-2004
Mr Sanders stated that he asked the developers ofLJberty and Legends what their costs were for the installation ofutIhtIes

CJty Engmeer Eckles stated that an unprovement heanng and assessment heanng could be held at the same tune. He stated
that he has mformed property owners that the assessments could be large, but has used the feaslbJhty report as a gwdeline m
dJscussmg the assessments He also stated that some property owners who have been assessed for storm sewer through the
Hazel Street Ravme Dramage Improvements could be given a credIt on their assessment
.

Update on North HIli Protect
.
CIty Engineer Eckles provided an update on the neighborhood meetmgs for the North HIli project He stated that the
meetmgs were well attended and stated that there was httle open opposition to the proJect. He also stated that the reSIdents of
the area dId have some concerns regardmg design alternatIves mcludmg ehminatmg curb and gutter and usmg narrow street
sectIons, asking to hrre outsIde consultants to investIgate creatIve design alternatIves, proVldmg more mformatIon on the
asSIstance program for low and moderate-mcome households, the assessments for the golf course and leavmg North

CIty Engmeer Eckles stated that the Engmeenng Department could look at other designs, but due to the area he felt the
concrete curb and gutter would last longer and best manage the storm water problems m the area.

Mr. Sanders:
This letter is to assist you in making an accurate assessment for our property during the
proposed North Hill sewerlwater project.
.
On your preliminary assessment spread sheet, you show our property being incorrectly
assessed for connections to both city sewer and water. We already have sewer and water,
as the attached city utility bills prove. Connecting our home to a new system would not
be of any benefit to us, as our existing systems are working well. Assessing us again for
these services would be unfair, and our property value would not increase as a result of
the project
In addition, we hope that the city will allow North Broadway Street to keep its unique
character. It is a narrow, unpaved, private street and we would like to keep it that way.
Widening the street would only serve to attract more and taster traffic.
I hope this information will assist you with your planning.
Sincerely,
~

Dear Mayor Kimble:
Thank. you for meeting with and accepting feedback from the concerned citizens of the
North Hill Project. We have some great concerns about the project, which we will list
below. If these concerns can be met, we feel we could support the project.
The great cost of the project and the high individual assessments require further
investigation of other sow'ces of funding. If this takes a year to complete, we feel any
additional project cost will be more than offset by securing outside funds and yielding
lower assessments.
We live on the comer ofHwy. 95 and Willow St. We have noticed an increase in
Traffic on Willow 81. in the seven years we have owned this house. We feel that Willow
St. is in need of resurfacing. We also feel that due to the location of the houses on this
street, the current width must be maintained. A wider street would invite more traffic
and remove what natural barrier is there.
Being located at the bottom of Willow St., we see the need for some system of handling
storm water runoff. We would be in favor of any system, which would keep the majority
of runoff from our yard while maintaining the current width of Willow St.
Thank. you for your attention.

Stillwater, MN 55082
Dear Shawn,
Dick and I are writing in regards to the proposed sewer, water and street project currently
being discussed for the North Hill and would like you to be aware of our opinions in this
matter As you probably know, a great number of us in the affected area have been
meeting as a neIghborhood association since last summer dlscussmg our concerns about
thIs proJect The minutes of those meetings are included in the North Hill FeasIbIlity
Report, Project 2000-15 You probably are aware that we are an active neighborhood
association, our primary concern being the conservation of our natural surroundings It is
of the utmost importance that the natural landscape or our area be preserved as that is the
reason we invested in this area and intend to remain here. It appears to us that you indeed
heard our message at the May 30th and June 12th informational meetings in council
chambers
Please know that Dick and I are NOT in favor of the sanitary sewer and water project .
We own an II year old home with working well and septic We DO want to have the
water runoff problem alleviated by some means Hazel Street has been tom apart by
storm water run off and the city has continued to patch the street when new holes appear
and chunks of asphalt wash away down the street We agree that storm sewers/culverts
are needed. The run off from Stillwater Country Club along their northern boundaries
where SCC abuts Poplar Street needs to be diverted and then Hazel Street and the ravines
might be spared a goodly amount of wash out and erosion
We think that the cost of the project per the number of homes involved is way out of line
This is the largest project the city has undertaken and it would be prudent that further
research be done to find alternative ways to reach the goal- or to alter it Our home is
in Phase 3 of the project If it turns out that the majority of homeowners in our area only
want storm sewer, would it be possible to give us just that? We feel the assessments are
exorbitant and we implore your department to research every granting agency and every
source of revenue that is available and us the input of ALL political representatives at
county, state and federal levels as well as local
It seems that the City looks at having sewer and water service available to us as a means
for us to subdivide our lots - we'd make money, the city makes more money. Beside the
fact that about 2/3 of our property sits in the ravine and is not buildable, our goal has
always been to keep this area pristine, unique, private and natural Unfortunately we
have a councilman who made up his mind on this project, ignoring his constituents ideas
and opinions and despite many confrontations from his constituents, still blatantly refuses .
,.
y
.
to hear or represent us We hope all concerned will take our feelings to heart and
reconsider this project as it currently stands

Mr Mayor and CouncIl members
Last week we under took a survey of all resIdents that were bemg assessed for sewer and
water on the North HIll proJect Roughly 120 surveys were delIvered by the Umted
States Postal ServIce on Saturday June 30 To date we have receIved 60 responses
The survey asked the followmg questIons.
1) Ignonng the cost factor, do you generally favor proceedmg WIth the proJect?
Of the 58 people that responded to thIs questIon, 52% opposed proceeding with the
project.
. 2) In lIght of your estImated assessment, would you be m favor ofpostponmg the proJect for a
year m order for the CIty to explore obtammg addItIonal funds?
.
Of the 59 people that responded to thIS questIon, 98% of the respondents were in favor
of delaying the project to find more money. Clearly, everyone feels that the cIty has
more work to do m fundmg the proJect
3) Do you favor storm sewers?
Of the 59 people that responded to thIS questIon, 56% saw a need for storm sewers
4) Do you favor road repaIrs?
Of the 59 people that responded to thIs questIon, 78% of residents saw a need for road
repairs The other 22% percent must have good shocks on theIr cars or don't dnve
5) Do you favor puttmg m curb and gutter?
Of the 58 people that responded to thIS questIOn, 71 % opposed curb and gutter ThIs
correlates closely to the response m questIon 9
6) Do you favor mcrease street IIghtmg?
.
.
60 people responded to thts questIon, 92% opposed additional lighting AgaIn thts
questIon closely correlates to questIon 9. Several people commented that they enJoyed
bemg able to see the stars at nIght
7) Do you favor maIntaInIng the current street WIdth?
60 people responded to thts questIon and 93% saw no need to widen the streets One
person proposed decreasmg the WIdth of the street
8) Are you mterested m puttIng m SIdewalks?
58 people responded to thts questIon and 97% of residents were opposed to sidewalks
9) Is maIntaInIng the detached! rural appearance of the North HIll Important?
59 people responded to thts questIon and 83% cited this as an important factor Many
commented that thts IS why they came to thts area Once mSlghtful reSIdent stated that
parts of the lull remmded them of a country lane rather than a tradItIonal suburban
development
10) The Mayor has suggested that he would be open to the cIty provIdmg addItIonal funds If the
CIty were to contnbute an extra 10% and addItIonal fundmg of $1 mIllIon were found, would
you be mclmed to challenge your assessment m lIght that your assessment would be
drastIcally lower then what IS now proposed?
.
58 people responded to thts questIon and 59% would not be inclined to challenge the
assessment if more money were found.
11) Assummg there was a mmlmal cost to you, would you be mclIned to fight the proposed
assessment as It stands today, WIthout addItIonal funds, on grounds that the value of your
property hasn't Increased?
57 people responded and 70% felt that they would challenge the assessment on
grounds that the assessment did not increase the value of their property One
respondent even stated, "no way could I sell my property and add $35,000 to the sellIng
pnce I'm stIll m shock that the CIty could bIll me that amount WIth a straIght face I'll
gladly ChIP m for any legal fees fund or class actIon to bnng the cost down to a much
more reasonable level "
In analyzmg the cumulatIve survey, It appears that reSIdents overwhelmmgly want to maIntaIn the
unIque appearance of the North HIll. The maJonty of people do not want standard CIty
mfrastructure such as SIdewalks, lIghtIng, and WIde streets, however street maIntenance (or lack
there of) was a pnonty Tlns VIew IS remforced m theIr stance on curb and gutters, 71 % of the
people do not want to see curb and gutters ReSIdents are m favor of maIntaInmg the current
unIque look to the area One reSIdent stated that they lIke the country lane appearance
.
..
..
.QuestIon 2 clearly mdlcated that almost every person respondmg to the survey feels the cIty hasn't
done enough to bnng the cost down One person noted, "tlns entIre proJect was pushed through too
qUIckly The pnce tag requires us to look for addItIonal sources of fundIng over the next year "
QuestIon 11 correlates to the results m questIon 2, m that many people feel that the assessments are
too hIgh If addItIOnal funds were found 11 % fewer reSIdents would be mclIned to challenge an
assessment ThIS would mdlcate that more people would feel the assessment was faIr. What was
surpnsmg was that no pattern could be found between the level of assessment and peoples feelmgs
as to what they thought was farr. People WIth $10,000 assessments were equally as dIVIded as
people WIth $25,000 assessments
Smcerely,
Ken & Mary Haryckl

MEMORANDUM
TO:
Mayor and City Council
Shawn Sanders, CIVll Engineer sS ·
FROM:
DATE:
July 5, 2001
SUBJECT: 2001 Sidewalk Rehabllitation Feasibihty Report (project 2001-11)
DISCUSSION
As part of the City's 2001 improvements, it is proposed to have a sidewalk rehabihtation proJect
thIs summer. Critena used in mspection mclude sidewalks that are severely cracked, heaved or
settled, or nusaligned, such that they may cause people to trip. Tlus year's project will focus
pnmarily m the north part of town around Elm Street, Hickory Street, and Maple Street. Other
areas of sidewalk rehab include a few lots in the Croixwood area.
There are 54 properties where sIdewalks w1l1 be rep31red with approximately 16,000 square feet
of repair. The estimated cost for repair is $6.00 per square foot, for a total cost of $96,000.00
The total costs include removal and replacement of sidewalk, restoratIon, engineering, InSpection
and adnunistration Properties would be assessed 50% or $48,000.00 of the project costs, with
the other 50% bemg paid for by the CIty.
Property owners would have up until the time construction starts to replace the sidewalk on their
own or else they would be included as part of our project and be assessed for their portIon of the
project costs
If the feaslbihty report were approved at the July 10 Council Meeting, the Timeline for the
project would be as follows:
PublIc Hearing
Award Contract
Begin Construction
Assessment Hearing
August 7, 2001
August 21,2001
September 4, 2001
October 16,2001
At the time Council authorized staff to prepare the feasIbility report, staff was directed to look
into the posslbihty to extended Sidewalks such as Curve Crest Boulevard and Holcomb Street as
part of the project Since these are new construction projects, they are outside the scope of the
City's SIdewalk rehabilitatIon project. They would be able to stand on their own as separate
constructIon proJects.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that Councll approve the feasiblhty report for the 2001 sidewalk
rmprovements and order the pubhc hearmg to be scheduled for August 7, 2001
ACTION REQIRED
If council concurs with the recommendation, they should pass a motion adoptIng Resolution No.

Subject: Change Order for McKusick Lake Downstream Conveyance ProJect and
Mulberry and Water Street Improvement ProJect (9626F/2000-05)
.
DISCUSSION:
At the preVIous councIl meetIng, staff reported that a change order mIght be reqUIred due to
problems encountered dunng the tunneling process The good news we have to report IS
that shortly after thIs Issue was presented to councIl, the contractor tunneled beyond the
boulder debns, winch was slOWIng down the process By Tuesday the 10th the tunnelmg
process should be complete. There s1J.IlIS a need to complete a change order for thIs proJect.
Frrst, due to the tunnehng condItIons the proJect has been slowed and the contractor IS
currently passed the completion date Second, the contractor was lured to mstal1 the sewer
and water services to the Pubhc Works Faclhty C W Houle was already workmg m the
area of the Pubhc Works Faclhty and the street was already opened therefore, there was a
clear cost advantage to get this work completed
Attached IS a copy of a proposed change order winch would change the final completIon
date to August 1,2001 and compensate the contractor for mstalhng sewer and water
faclhtIes to the PublIc Works sIte. Total financIal Impact of the change order IS $20,265 00
RECOMMENDATION:

Mr. Eckles, City Engineer
City of Stillwater
Dear Clayton,
Thank you for providing me with the City Counell's response to our request regarding the
storm sewer holding pond abutting the Autumn Wood Association properties
While we are disappointed the city declined to participate, we appreciate your suggestion
that we seek permission from both the city and the Department of Natural Resources
(DNR) to treat the pond ourselves Dave McCormick (772-7956) at the DNR has
responsibiIity for considering and issuing Copper Sulfate Permits which is needed to treat
the holding pond for algae abatement. The permit application requires the approVIng
signatures of the property owners abutting the outlot containing the holding pond The
application also requires the signature of the city as the owner of the outlot. Please acquire
the appropriate city approval(s) on the enclosed permit application
Please advise if I could be of assistance in moving this request forward or in seeking
approval Thank you for your assistance and consideration.
Sincerely, ~U

RevIsion to PUD Approval
I have received a request from Ken Laterno, the current owner of the last lot In
Autumwood SubdiVISion to construct a single family detached town home on the
last remaining lot due to topography and development constraints
The Planning Commission reviewed the request at last night's (July 9, 2001) and
approved It With the condition that the homeowners association sign off on the
change
The request IS a less Intensive use of the site then what was approved In the
PUD
As With all bUilding permits, the City Engineer and planning department would
review the development plans for drainage/grading access and bUilding deSign
Recommendation: Approval of request to construct Single family detached
structure With homeowners association approval
