The most feasible site has been identified as property located north of the Lowell Inn between 2nd Street and 3rd Street. On May 2,2006 the City Council authorized staff to proceed with investigating the possible construction of a ramp at that site CHRONOLOGY OF EVENTS to date Braun Intertec completed a preliminary geotechnical investigation, which determined that the site's hydrology and bedrock configuration would likely allow ramp up tasks is offered to bring the City Council The following chronology of completed 2006 - construction; The City Council approved a modification to TIF District this would generate revenue to pay for the project's costs; The City Council established a Parking Ramp Steering Committee of the following members on June 19,2006 17, lOon October 2 3 Name Re resentin Kevin LaCasse Chair of the Parkin Commission Bob Eiselt Stake holder - Trini Lutheran Church Mark Bala Stake holder - Bala Architects Jim Christo herson Stake holder - Ascension Church Scott Zahren Herita e Preservation Commission Phil Eastwood Herita e Preservation Commission Dave Middleton Chair of the Plannin Commission Adam N ber Council member The Parking Ramp Steering Committee reviewed eight design services proposals on August 29,2007. They recommended three finalists to the City Council. 4 and Back side of parapet should be Street in mind; and The northern triangular portion of the Trinity parking lot on 3rd Street should be turned into green space with plantings to break up the view of the upper deck of the ramp; and Examine a method for reducing the visual impact of the height difference between the two northerly facades on 2nd; and 5 4. 7. 6 3 On October 2, 2007 the City Council selected a team of consultants Design, Inc. which included the Carl Walker parking ramp group. The contract for LSA services was approved by the City Council late in 2007. A key feature of the contract gives the City the option to stop the project after a firm estimate of construction costs is developed. If the total project costs exceed the available TIF revenue, the project will in all likelihood not proceed. City staff and the consultant team are now in the process of developing a firm estimate of construction costs. a. A preferred preliminary option is emerging. The footprint can be seen in the attached air photo entitled "Parking Ramp Land Exchange". b. The attached stall layout plans show three options. The preferred option includes 348 stalls. However, to bring the costs in line with budget, and to include the various design features discussed for the ramp, the number of stalls may have to be reduced to about 314. Key features are a ramp facility on 2nd Street between the Lowell Inn and Rivertown Commons, surface parking on 3rd Street, a parking deck bridging the bluff between 2nd and 3rd Streets, public restroom on the ground level, and an elevator with upper level patio area. This patio area is the focal point ofthe pedestrian route leading from 3rd Street to the elevator. c. The first look at ramp cross sections in relationship to surrounding buildings and physical features are attached. The height of the preferred ramp option would be about 36 feet. The height overlay district on 2nd Street would allow a 37 foot height. d. Two fayade concepts were presented to the HPC by LSA Architects on February 4,2008. The HPC did not like either of them and gave the architects general input on a fayade they might be able to support. The two original fayade concepts are attached. Based upon HPC input, LSA created two more fayade concepts for discussion by the HPC and Parking Ramp Steering Committee (PRSC) at their workshop on February 14th, These two new fayade concepts are also attached. i The HPC/PRSC unanimously voted to give conceptual approval of the attached fayade labeled option three. The conceptual approval included the following conditions: 1 North stair tower to be turned 90 degrees to present a broader view looking southward from 2nd Street and a narrower view of it looking westward from 2nd Street; and Pedestrian access pathway on upper ramp should be set apart from the driving lane with different surface texture and/or color; e. 11. 2. treated with views from 3rd 5 Parking Ramp February 27, 2008 Page 2 led by LSA Parking Ramp February 27, 2008 Page 3 Street as seen from 3rd Address lighting both within the ramp as seen from 2nd evel and on upper deck! upper parking 10 6 look to fire escape' towers should have a Iron in the them - maybe constructed of black Street; and The staircases 7 NEXT STEPS Open House lfthe City Council is reasonably comfortable with the preferred design and conceptual fayade, then the next step of the project would be for LSA Design and the City to hold an open house to gather informal reactions to the project. That could be held on March 12th or 19th. The 19th may be better since it would provide more time to get the word out to residents and other interested people Formal Review Following the open house, LSA Design would make formal application to the City for a public Design Review Permit process. The Design Review Permit application does not require construction document detail, but the level of detail needs to be greater than the concept plan that received HPC approval already. Though a Design Review Permit is customarily only reviewed by the HPC, staff recommends that the permit also be commented upon by the Planning Commission and the City Council. Public hearings could be held by the HPC, CPC and Cc. The reason for the extra ordinary level of review is that this is the only opportunity for the public to give formal reactions to the proposed project. is approved, then LSA Design will be able a firm estimate of construction and project costs. When City Council will then decide whether to proceed with Prolect Decision If the Design Review Permit to do draw up the final design and get these costs have been established, the the project or not. MISCELLANEOUS As you know, Trinity Lutheran Church and the Lowell Inn both own land that would be incorporated into the ramp facility. City staff has been meeting with both groups to identify the needs and expectations associated with their involvement in this project. One of the key transactions identified in those meetings is an exchange of land that would be needed in order to construct the ramp. Attached is an air photo labeled "Parking Ramp Land Exchange" that shows the subject parcels. Trinity Lutheran Church owns land on the east side of 3rd Street that is essential to the City's project. The City owns a strip ofland at the comer of 4th Street and Myrtle that is in a strategic location for the Church's future facility needs. A mutually beneficial exchange of property is proposed. As planning for the parking ramp project continues, appraisals will be done on both properties to determine their value. It is likely that the Church property has a higher value than the City property. The difference would likely be made up in free Church access to the ramp on Sunday mornings, religious holidays, etc. attachments: Staffrequests that the City Council consider the preferred facility, the approved fa<;ade concept and the land exchange issue. If the Council feels reasonably comfortable with them, LSA Design will be asked to conduct an open house and then prepare a Design Review Permit application.

MAGNUSON JDMAGNUSON@MAGNUSONLAWFlRM.COM MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor, City Council and Staff FROM: David T. Magnuson DATE: February 19,2008 RE: Parking Ramp Issue Discussions with Trinity concerning the parking ramp has revealed an issue that, from the outset, appears to be of substantial concern to Trinity. The City will be asking Trinity for an easement over the parking lot that they now use across the street from the Post Office. This will not only be the entrance to the proposed parking ramp but provide approximately 50 surface spaces on the property leading into the ramp from the 3rd Street elevation. In return for this transfer to the City, Trinity has asked that it be deeded the property on the northeast comer of 4th and Myrtle that formerly housed the Methodist Church and parsonage. A may pf this property is attached as Exhibit A. By way of background, when the City acquired this property in 1956, at that time the property now containing the Post Office contained the City Fire Hall and City Hall. The Post Office was still operating in their downtown building. The white block garages that are attached .. \, to the west side of the current Post Office was actually a City garage built for public works vehicles. The Methodist Church property was largely unused after the congregation moved to the comer of Greeley and Myrtle Street and the Church itself was constructed right on the edge of the sidewalk on both 4th and Myrtle Streets. This constituted a serious traffic hazard since it blocked the view on that comer from several approaches. In 1956 the City agreed to pay the Methodist Church $12,500 for the property. After acquisition, both the Church and the parsonage were tom down and a parking lot was constructed that, at the time, was used in conjunction with the City Hall and Fire Department. When the City Hall and the Fire Barns were relocated the lot was rented to the Post Office for $1.00 per year The staff believes that the City Council should be aware of Trinity's request. If the City Council opposes exchanging this property, or exchanging easements to the property, staff should know before plans gather further momentum.

At issue is the use of the groomed ski trails by hikers, joggers, walkers, and dog walkers. This has been an ongoing issue. Attached are minutes from previous Park and Recreation Commission meetings concerning this issue. When hikers, joggers, walkers, and dog use the trail two main problems occur: 1. Pedestrians destroy the surface of the groomed surface, which is prepared by volunteers. 2. Any excrement left by dogs can cause skiers to abruptly stop which is a hazard to skiers. Following the City's general policy that all park sites are open to all individuals, the City has not prohibited pedestrians and pets on the site. The City has placed signs on the site that asks individuals to use the left side of the site and to clean up after pets. Staff walked portions of the trail and it is evident that these signs are simply being ignored. Pedestrians are utilizing the entire groomed trail surface. Pet excrement has been found throughout the trail which has significantly degraded the trail surface. Brown's Creek Ski Trails February 27, 2008 Page 2 How to proceed There are three possible options on how to proceed. 1. The City could continue to manage the trails in the same manner that we are today. 2. Only skiers be allowed in the northern portion of Brown's Creek Reserve (north of the railroad tracks) between November 15 and March 15 when there is snow cover. Both pedestrians and skiers be allowed in the southern portion of the park. Both the north and southern portion of the park will continued to be groom and were possible separate pedestrian and ski trails will be groomed. The City would revise and replace signage as necessary. 3. Totally prohibit pedestrians and pets would then be prohibited in the skiing areas between November 15 and March 15 when there is snow cover. Again, the City would replace signage to indicate the new policy. Each of these options has positive and negative aspects to them. Currently there is a user group who is grooming the trails with another user group that is in turn destroying them. If the trails were not groomed it is likely that pedestrians would not be walking the trails with snow cover in the first place. Finally, the City has always encouraged the use of its park by all users and has avoided giving one user exclusive use of a park over another user. Ultimately, this is a policy issue that staff needs guidance on from the Council. PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION On December 17, 2007 the Park and Recreation Commission discussed the issue. The Commission recommended to the City Council, on a vote of 6-0; that separate trail loops for pedestrian and skiers be established as outlined in staff option No.2. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Review and direct staff on how to proceed regarding the use of the Brown's Creek Trails. Attachment: Letter January 14, 2008 from Charlie Corcoran, Ed Bieging, and Ralph Hapness January 14, 2008 TO: Michel Pogge, City Planner FR: Charlie Corcoran, Ed Bieging, and Ralph Hapness RE: Brown's Creek Reserve Ski Trail proposal Thank you for meeting with us January 9th. As per our discussion, we would like the existing trail network on the north side of the rail right- of-way, about two kilometers in length, to be designated "ski only" during the ski season, approximately mid-December to mid-March. The remaining ski trail network, entirely on the south side of the rail right-of-way, would remain "multi-use." We feel this is a reasonable accommodation to all interests. Skiers would have two kilometers of trail untrampeled by hikers and free of hazards posed by dogs and their droppings. Other park users, including hikers and dog walkers, would have use of three kilometers of trails. The entire trail network, about five kilometers altogether, will continue to be groomed for skiers but will benefit all users on the "multi-use" segment. Our proposed trail designation is widely practiced in other park settings, e.g., Battle Creek, Willow River State Park, O'Brien State Park. Brown's Creek Reserve Ski Trails are an outstanding local resource, serving a sizable local Nordic ski community, as well as the nation's largest high school Nordic ski team. The opportunity for a dedicated, unspoiled ski trail, however modest, is really exciting. We appreciate the time and consideration given to our proposal by the Park Board, City Planner Michel Pogge, and the Stillwater City Council. .' City of Stillwater Parks and Recreation Board Jan. 23,2006 Present: Linda Amrein, chair David Brandt, Paul Donna, Rob McGarry, Wally Milbrandt, Cathy Sewilo, and Sandy Snellman Others: Robert Lockyear, interim Community Development Director Ms. Amrein called the meeting to order at 7 p.m. Approval of minutes: Mr. Brandt. seconded by Mr. Milbrandt, moved approval of the minutes of Dec. 19, 2005, as presented. Motion passed unanimously. Election of officers - Ms. Amrein suggested that this item be added to the agenda. Ms. Amrein said she would be willing to continue to serve as chair for the coming year if that was the desire of the Board. Mr. McGarry moved to have Ms. Amrein continue as chair for 2006 with himself as vice chair. Ms. Snellman seconded the motion; motion passed unanimously. Introduction of Robert Lockyear - Mr. Lockyear introduced himself to the Board and gave a brief overview of his planning background/experience, including 25 years of service with Washington County. t-.~ Update on cross country ski area siqnaqe - Mr. Lockyear said the signage, discussed at the previous meeting, was never installed due to a spelling error on the signs. He said the error had been corrected and it was his understanding that the signs were installed earlier on the day of the meeting, Jan. 23. Ms. Amrein said she had talked with the concerned citizen who brought the issue to the Board's attention and that person was understanding of the reason for the delay in installation. Update on the Community Development Director position - Mr. Milbrandt' said the nominating committee, which includes himself, Councilmember Junker, Administrator Hansen and Director of Administration Knauss, had selected five finalists for the position. The finalists will be interviewed the day of Feb. 11. On Feb. 10, he said a reception would be held with the candidates. Members of the Park Board, Planning Commission and Heritage Preservation Commission will be invited to the reception. Mr. Milbrandt asked those Park Board members who could attend the Feb. 19 reception to do so and provide any input to the nominating committee members for the Feb. 11 interviews. There was a brief discussion as to what type of questions it might be appropriate to ask of the candidates. Discussion of capital outlay items for 2006 - Mr. Lockyear stated the City will be discussing the five-year CIP in March and said he was not prepared to discuss the issue at the January meeting. Mr. Milbrandt suggested it would be good to have a recap/discussion of the approved 2006 capital items at the February meeting. Other items: 1) Mr. Brandt noted that the Board had talked about having a tour of the Teddy Bear Park facilities. It was pointed out that such a tour would be better scheduled for December 19, 2005 / Dear Ms. Amreing: I would like the Park Board to consider an ordinance prohibiting walkers and dogs from walking on groomed ski trails at Brown's Creek. My rationale: i ....-- 1. The trails are groomed for skiing, not walking. I assume they would not be groomed if not for skiers. This grooming becomes an "attractive nuisance," possibly resulting in more foot traffic due to snow compaction. 2. Footprints, dog prints and droppings damage the surface, making skiing difficult. It also causes more rapid trail degradation. Within hours of grooming, such non-skier usage begins to negate the value of grooming. If no change is made, the city may wish to review the efficacy of grooming at all. 3. Walkers have miles of alternatives within the city limits. Skiers have no alternative in Stillwater. Couple this with our short ski season, and this accommodation is not unreasonable. I suggest following the lead of local state parks. Both Willow River State Park (WI) and William O'Brien State Park (MN) prohibit walkers and dogs on groomed ski trails during the ski season. I've spoken to Bill Simpson, coach of Stillwater Nordic Ski Team, about this. He concurs it's so sad to watch the beautifully groomed trails (and costly to taxpayers?) degrade so quickly. I would be happy to speak to the Park Board about this, and I welcome the opportunity to get on your agenda ASAP. Sin/1IY, a~ Charles Corcoran 2221 Kallie Ct. Stillwater, MN 55082 651.275.0657 City of Stillwater Parks and Recreation Board Dec. 19,2005 Present: Linda Amrein, chair David Brandt, Wally Milbrandt, Cathy Sewilo and Sandy Snell man Others: Community Development Director Steve Russell Absent: Paul Donna and Rob McGarry Ms. Amrein called the meeting to order at 7:05 p.m. Approval of minutes: Linda Amrein noted the minutes approved at the Nov. 28 meeting were those of Oct. 24, as well as a misspelling of Mr. Brandt's name on page 2 of the Nov. 28 minutes. Mr. Milbrandt, seconded by Ms. Snell man, moved approval of the Nov. 28, 2005, minutes as corrected. - Libertv West park dedication Mr. Russell reviewed the site. He noted the site will be considered for a Comprehensive Plan and Zoning amendment to change the land use to Small Lot Single Family/Cottage Lot Residential, which is consistent with the Liberty designation to the east and south of the site; there is townhouse development on the north side. There are large oak trees on the site, which the developer/consultant has put a lot of effort into preserving. A water feature and extensive trail system are planned. Mr. Russell noted that trails are not considered as part of park dedication. There is an area of public open space area. He said the Planning Commission and staff recommended considering one lot as part of the open space area, which still doesn't meet the 10 percent park dedication requirement but is more than proposed. Other options, he said, are fees in lieu of park dedication or finding that because of the character of the project, the whole development with the preservation of trees, creates a park environment. Present representing the developer were: Marc Putnam, landscape architect; Roger T omten, architect; and Chris Aamodt, developer. Marc Putman reviewed the plans, focusing on the tree preservation efforts, including expensive retaining walls, the water feature for stormwater storage and highway noise reduction, trails and other amenities. He suggested that in this instance, where trees basically are parks, the focus was on ways to preserve the trees. In some other communities, he said, there is recognition that it is not just flat, open space that makes for parks. In this case, he said extensive park/open space features were designed that may not all be in public ownership but certainly will be available for use by the public. He highlighted trail connections. He also spoke of County plans for Manning Avenue and the County bike trail. Ms. Amrein asked about the staff recommendation to require that the lot east of outlot C be set aside for parks. Mr. Russell said that is staff's recommendation. He said the Planning Commission considered that condition but deferred to the Parks Board for a decision. Mr. Russell noted that the house proposed for the lot in question is located within the drip line of a large tree. Ms. Amrein said the Parks Board has made it a policy not to include trails and other open space that is not buildable as part of parks dedication, noting that the Board just abided by that policy in the park dedication requirements for the Millbrook development. Mr. Putnam asked the Board to consider ". ') City Council DATE: February 27, 2008 ITEM: Consider a requests from St. Croix Valley Baseball Association CITY COUNCIL DATE: March 5, 2008 PREPARED BY: Michel Pogge, City Planner M~ DISCUSSION Attached is information from the St. Croix Valley Baseball Association on a request for capital improvements to the Public Work Baseball Field. Additionally, the group would like to discuss allowing a concession stand, advertising signs, and scoreboard sponsorship signs at the Public Work Baseball Field. Finally, the group would like to discuss future baseball complexes in the City, induding the acquisition of the Jaycees fields from the School District. Capital Improvements As the Council will recall, you provided $4,500.00 in 2007 for improvements to the Public Work Baseball Fields. Unused funds remaining in 2007 have been carried over and can be used by the group for capital improvements to the field in 2008 for fence cap, windscreen, and bleachers. The group has already completed the construction of the dugouts, which was also part of their request. TI1e group is requesting fnnding the following;items in 2008: Scoreboard Installation Foul Pole WarmupjHihing Cage Additional Bleachers Sprinkler System Flagpole and flag Expand infield TOTAL $2,000.00 $1,000.00 $3,000.00 $9,000.00 $3,500.00 $546.98 $500.0Q $17,546.98 (maybe funded by American Legion) There is currently $93,570 available in the CIP park improvement account for use in 2008. $3,266.50 is a carry over from 2007 for the fence cap, windscreen, and bleachers at the public works field. ~ St. Croix Valley Baseball Association December 13,2007 Page 2 St. Croix Valley Baseball Association discussed their funding request with the Park and Recreation Commission at their December 17, 2007 meeting. At that time they requested staff to review the 2008 CIP budget with the Commission in January so they could make a recommendation to Council. In January the Commission reviewed the elP budget and made a recommendation to the CouncH that no additional funding be allocated for improvements to the Public Works field for 2008 other than what was carried over from 2007 for the fence cap, windscreen, and bleachers. During new business for tonight Council Meeting is a review of the Park Commission recommendation on how to use 2008 CIP park improvement funds. Scoreboard Installation Late last year the association received a grant to purchase a scoreboard for the public works field. City staff is capable to assist the association in the installation; however, we believe this should be a cooperative effort with assistance from the association. After all it is their scoreboard. We also advised the association that power would need to be run to the sign and that the City did not have an electrician on staff that could complete this work. Staff is reviewing different alternatives on how power could be ran to the scoreboard. Depending on if there is sufficient capacity in line that powers the parking Jot lights these lights could be converted from a timer to an electronic eye with a line ran off one of the poles. If this is not possible then a new line would need to be run from the electrical panel in the northwest comer of the public works building. In either case it is likely it will cost between $1,500 to $3,000 to rUn a power line to the scoreboard. The council needs to decide if they want to participate in this cost and if so to what level. Concession Stand and Sponsorship Advertising In their request the association is requesting the ability to have a concession stand on the site and to allow advertizing with field banners'and on the new scoreboard. There was a private concession stand at Lily Lake as recently as 2006. The vendor no longer provides concessions at Lily Lake and it is staff understanding from the vendor that they simply could not make it profitable. The Council should make a decision if they want to allow additional concession stands in the City's parks. Ultimately the association will need Council's approval to have a concession stand in the park and will need to secure a special use permit from the Planning Commission for outdoor sales. Related to advertizing in the park, the Commission discussed the scoreboard at their October 2007 meeting and felt that generic messages would be OK but not advertising for specific businesses. The commission noted that advertising was not currently permitted in any other outdoor park and did not want to start aIIowing ads in the parks. Staff Recommendation Review and take an. action of the requests. ,. ST.

PURPOSE. The purpose of this Assessment Policy is to provide a fair and equitable manner of recovering and distributing the cost of public improvements. While there is no perfect assessment policy, it is important that assessments be implemented in a reasonable, consistent and fair manner. There may be exceptions to the Assessment Policy when unique situations or circumstances exist which may require special consideration and discretion by the City Council. Therefore, the assessment policy is intended to serve as a guide for a systematic assessment process in the City of Stillwater. B. PROCEDURP. The procedures used by the City of Stillwater ("City") for levying special assessments are those specified by Minnesota Statutes which provide that all or a part of the cost of improvements may be assessed against benefiting properties. The procedures for local improvements are summarized in Exhibit "A." While establishing the authority by which communities may proceed to construct public facility projects, the statutes provide no guide as to how costs are to be apportioned. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the local legislative body to establish a fair and reasonable method by which properties will be assessed. C. ASSESSMENT CRITERIA. Three basic criteria must be satisfied before a particular parcel can be validly assessed. They are: 1. The land must have received special benefit from the improvement. 2. The amount of the assessment must not exceed the increase in value of the land occasioned by the special benefit. 3. The assessment must be uniform in relation to the same class of property within the assessment area. The primary test for determining the validity of a special assessment is whether the improvement for which the assessment was levied has increased the market value of the property against which the assessment operates in at least the amount of the assessment. It is important to recognize that the actual cost of extending an improvement past a particular parcel is not the sole determining factor in determining the amount to be assessed. An exception might be a project initiated by ~developer where market value increase may not be a relevant factor given the nature of the improvement and the Developer agrees to pay all costs. Another test for determining the validity of a special assessment is whether the assessment is based on a uniform method for all like classes of property. For example, the use of a front foot assessment for some properties and the use of a per lot assessment for other properties of the same class for a related. improvement could result in a non- uniform assessment rate which could mean the assessment would be set aside or could be thrown out by the courts. D. INITIATION OF IMPROVEMENTS. Public Improvements may be initiated in the following manner: 1. Council Initiated. The City Council, on its own motion and without petition, may order the improvement on at least a 4/5 vote of the City Council. However, the City must still follow all statutory provisions related to the local improvement process. 2, Property Owner Petition. The City Council may decide, by simple majority, on an improvement after receiving a petition for said improvement from the owners of not less than 35 percent (35%) of the properties abutting on the streets named in the petition as the location of the improvement. In addition, all owners of real property abutting upon any street named as the location of any improvement may petition the City Council to construct the improvement and to assess the entire cost against their property. In the latter case, the City Council may, without a public hearing, adopt a resolution determining such fact and ordering the improvement. However, it is advisable to conduct public hearings on the improvement to avoid misunderstanding by the petitioners and to also inform the general public about the nature of the project. Proper waiver of assessments and/or agreements should be obtained from each property owner affected by the improvement. 3. Developer Request. A developer who is the owner of all the property within the proposed subdivision may petition the City Council to construct the improvement and to assess the entire cost against the developer's property pursuant to Minnesota Statutes. In such event, the City may, without a public hearing, adopt a resolution determining such fact and ordering the improvement. However, a developer's agreement, including a valid and enforceable waiver of assessments if appropriate, shall be negotiated and executed prior to said authorization. It may also be advisable to conduct public hearings on the improvement to avoid misunderstanding by the petitioners and to also inform the general public about the nature of the project. E. PROJECT COSTS. Project costs shaH include, but not be limited to, the following: 1. Construction costs (day labor or contractual). 2. Engineering and consulting fees. 3. Administrative fees. 4. Right-of-way acquisition/condemnation costs. 5. Legal fees. - 2- 6. Capitalized interest. 7. Financing costs. The entire project shall be considered as a whole for the purpose of calculating and computing an assessment rate. However, project costs for work of a dissimilar nature (i.e., where a project contains different types of work such as street resurfacing in one project area and street reconstruction in another area) shall be calculated separately and assessed separately according to benefit received, If City staff has doubt as to whether or not the costs of the project may exceed the special benefits to the property, the City Council should obtain such appraisals as may be necessary to support the proposed assessment. Appraisals may be obtained anytime after the improvement has been ordered including prior to actually awarding the bid or entering into a contract for the work. The City Council may also conduct assessment hearings and actually adopt the assessment roll anytime after the improvement hearing and before a contract for the work is awarded. The Assessment Policy, in brief summary, consists of six (6) main sections addressing General Policy Statement, Methods of Assessment, Improvement Type and Cost Apportionment, Assessment Conditions, Supplementary Guide section and a Definition section. A summary of actions and resolutions is also included as Exhibit "An. SECTION n - METHODS OF ASSESSMENT The nature of an improvement determines the method of assessment. The objective is to choose an assessment method which will arrive at a reasonable, fair and equitable assessment which will be uniform upon the same class of property within the assessed area. The most frequently recognized assessment methods are: the unit assessment, the front footage assessment and the area assessment. Depending upon the individual project, anyone or a combination of these methods may be utilized to arrive at an appropriate cost distribution. City staff will consider all methods and weigh their applicability to the project and present a recommendation to the City Council in the form of a mock assessment roll (or rolls). A description of each assessment and its corresponding policy application is presented. A separate section (Section Ill) will identify the appropriate match up of method with a specific type of project and analyze why each is generally used. A UNIT ASSESSMENT. A unit assessment shall be derived by dividing the total project cost by the number of Residential Equivalent Density (RED) units in the project area. A RED unit is defined as a single family residential unit. All platted and unplatted property will be assigned RED unit values equivalent to the underlying zoning. When the existing land use is less than the highest and best permitted use, the Council may consider the current use as well as the full potential of land use in determining the appropriate number of RED units. Otherwise, the following RED chart will apply on a per unit basis, subject to adjustment by the Council for any inequities: ^Single Family Condominium 1.00 RED A 1 RED plus 0.2 RED for each add'l unit - 3 - Multifamily ~ units or more) Townhouse Commercial Industrial If RED plus 0.2 RED for each add'l unit Jc 1 RED plus 0.2 RED for each add'l unit RED units=SAC units RED units=SAC units The unit approach has proven to be the best method in those instances whereby the improvement largely benefits everyone to the same degree and the cost of the improvement is not generally affected by parcel size. B. AREA ASSESSMENT. The assessable area shall be expressed in terms of the number of acres or the number of square feet subject to assessment. When determining the assessable area, the following considerations will be given: 1. Ponding Assessment Consideration. Lakes, ponds and swamps may be considered a part of the assessable area of a parcel. However, the property owner has the option of providing a storm water ponding easement to the City for the land under the lake, pond or swamp if integrated into the storm water management system. If such ponding easement is accepted based upon its functional integration into the storm water management system, a reduction in area equal to the area of the easement for the lake, pond or swamp will be subtracted from the gross area assessment of the parcel. Lots utilizing a ponding area for the purpose of density credit shall be charged for that area within the portion of the easement necessary to meet minimum lot standards. 2. Road Right-or-Way Assessment Consideration. Up to 20 percent (20%) of the gross acreage may be deducted for street right-of-way purposes within unplatted parcels of five acres or more depending upon the parcel configuration. Parcels of less than five acres may not qualify and may be assessed full acreage. The reason for this size restriction is that, in most instances, parcels of less than five acres cannot support an internal public road system. 3, Park Dedication Assessment Consideration. When park land is dedicated as part of a residential development, as required by Subdivision Code - Chapter 31.06, the developer shall not be assessed an acreage charge on the portion of land dedicated. C. FRONT FOOT AGE ASSESSMENT. The actual physical dimensions of a parcel abutting an improvement (i.e., street, sewer, water, etc.) shall NOT be construed as the frontage utilized to calculate the assessment for a particular parcel. Rather, an "adjusted front footage" will be determined. The purpose of this method is to equalize assessment calculations for lots of similar size. Individual parcels by their very nature differ considerably in shape and area. The following procedures will apply when calculating adjusted front footage. The selection of the appropriate procedures will be determined by the specific configuration of the parcel. All measurements will be scaled from available plat and section maps and will be rounded down to the nearest 1/2 foot dimension with any excess fraction deleted. Categorical type descriptions are as follows: -4- L Standard lots 2. Rectangular variation lots 3. Triangular lots 4. Cul-de-sac lots 5. Curved lots 6. Irregularly shaped lots 7. Corner lots 8. Flag lots 9. Double frontage lots 1\ The ultimate objective of these procedures is to arrive at a fair and equitable distribution of cost whereby consideration is given to lot size and parcels are comparably assessed. a. Standard Lots. In this instance, the adjusted front footage for rectangular lots will be the actual front footage of the lot. The frontage measured shall be the lot width at the front lot line. MAIN AVENUE SO' 90' Adj. Front Footage EXAMPLES: Lot A - 50' LotB - 90' A B b. Rectangular Variation Lots: For a lot which is approximately rectangular and uniform in shape, the adjusted front footage is computed by averaging the front and back sides of the lot. This method is used only where the divergence between front and rear lot Jines is 20 feet or less. MAIN AVENUE Adj, Front Footage EXAMPLES: 90' 70' LatA - 90 + 100 = 100' 2 A B Lot B - 70 + 80 = 75' 2 110' 60' - 5- c. Triangular Lots. For a triangular shaped lot, the adjusted front footage is computed by averaging the front and back lot lines. The measurement at the back lot line shall not exceed a maximum distance in depth of 150 feet. MAIN AVENUE I~O' J__ Adj. Front Footage EXAMPLES: . Lot A 100+40= 7(1 2 Lot B - 40 + 130 = 85' 2 Lot C 120 + 0= 60' 2 d. Cul-De-Sac Lots. The adjusted front footage for those lots that exist on cul-de-sacs will be calculated at the midsection of the lot at the most reasonably defined and determinable position. This line will be computed by connecting the midpoints of the two side lot lines. Of, if the lots are similar in nature and configuration, a common lot width, such as the standard set back of 30', may be assigned based upon an evaluation of typical lots within the subdivision. A B ..- 7~''''-' - 6- Adj. Front Footage EXAMPLES: Lot A - 70' Lot B - 90' Lot C -150' e. Curved Lots. In cel1ain situations such as those where lots are located along meandering trail system streets, road patterns created curvilinear frontages. In such instances, the adjusted front footage will be the width of the lot measured at the midpoint of the shortest side lot line. Adj. Front Footage EXAMPLES: LotA - 70' Lot B - 90' Lot C -150' I f. Irregularly Shaped Lots. In many cases, unplatted parcels that are legally described by a metes and bounds description are irregular and odd shaped. The adjusted front footage will be calculated by measuring the lot width at the 30 foot building setback line. MAIN AVENUE Adj. Front Footage EXAMPLES: ~ Il~' T ----- LotA - 115' Lot B - 140' Lot C -150' - 7- g. Corner Lots. (i) On a corner lot, 100 percent (100%) of the adjusted front footage of the short side will be assessed and 35 percent (35%) of the adjusted front footage of the long side will be assessed for improvements benefiting the respective sides. The length of the property sides and not the orientation of the principal building shall determine adjusted front footage in this case. A series of lots (two or more) under common ownership shall be considered as one parcel or lot for determining which is the short or long side of a property. However, this shall only apply to series of lots on which only one principal building is situated. Adj. Front Footage EXAMPLES Lot A - Side 1 =43.75' Side 2=95' Lot 8 - Side 1=87.5' Side 2= 125' R 8 lo N en ..- '-' lo 0> A B 125' 150' 100' MAIN AVENUE (SIDE 1) I - 8 - I (ii) General Commercial Zoned Corner Lots. No allowance relief will be granted because of the higher inherent property value associated with improved traffic frontage and greater visibility along business district and industrial park intersections. The adjusted front footage shall be the entire frontage measured along the setback line comprising the building envelope. Adj. Front Footage EXAMPLES Lot A - 280' Lot 8 - 390' ~ /' 130' ~ ! q~ 1:= B I i L _ _'_ _??_~'_ __. _______. - - --- b (") ~::w.______.____.~.____________________ g 155' 300' MAIN AVENUE I - 9- h. Flag Lots. Properties which utilize a narrow private easement or maintain ownership of access to their property exceeding a minimum length of 125 feet, thereby having a small frontage on a street, will be assigned an adjusted front footage of 80 feet. This dimension is consistent with the subdivision ordinance which prescribes such length as the minimum lot frontage along a public roadway. The adjusted front footage for flag lots whose driveway access is under 125 feet will be measured at the building setback line from the access tenninus. Adj. Front Footage EXAMPLES: b "t UJ 30' ~ N Ol z B <( ~ LotA - 80' Lot B - 90' A 170' I. Double Frontage Lots. If a parcel, other than a corner lot, comprises frontage on two streets and is eligible for subdivision, then an adjusted front footage assessment will be charged along each street. For double frontage lots lacking the necessary depth for subdivision, only a single adjusted front footage will be computed. MAIN AVE. MAIN AVE. Adj.

The cost of street reconstruction shall be recovered by the unit or adjusted front footage method. Seventy percent (70%) of the costs shall be assessed a ainst benefited ro ert. However, if concrete cur s are msta e or t e 1rst time on a project, one hundred percent (100%) of the costs of new curbs shall be assessed. ^ The remaining cost shall be recovered by means of the general ad valorem property tax paid by the entire community or :by other funds that may become available to the City for infrastructure cost recovery. B. STREET RESURFACING. Street resurfacing is commonly known and referred to as street overlaying whereby a new bed of road material such as bituminous is installed over an existing paved road to a specific thickness. Assessments shall be determined by the unit or adjusted front footage method and seventy percent (700/0) of the costs shall be assessed against benefited propert~ The remaining cost shall be recovered by means of the general ad valorem property tax paid by the entire community or by other funds that may become available to the City for infrastructure cost recovery. C. SIDEWALK. Sidewalk improvements may be done in conjunction with a street reconstruction or as a separate project. If the project involves the replacement of existing sidewalks, seven~ercent (70%) of the cost of sidewalk improvements shall be assessed to benefited properties on a front footage basis. If the sidewalk is to be installed for the first time, one hundred percent (1000/0) of the costs shall be assessed. D. SEALCOA TlNG. Sealcoating shall be treated as a general maintenance expense and shall be paid from the City's current operating funds. No assessments will be levied for Sealcoating projects. E. SANIT AR Y SEWER AND WATER MAINS. Repair and replacement of sewer or water main is usually done in conjunction with a street reconstruction project and the cost of this work should be included as part of the total major street project cost and should also be considered to be included in the rate assessed for street reconstruction. If it is determined that the repair and replacement work results in a greater benefit to some properties and not to others, the Council should consider establishing a different assessment rate based on the benefits received. LIGHTING. Repair and replacement of street lights is usually done in conjunction with a ] street project and the cost included as part of total project costs. However, if street lights are installed for the first time, one hundred percent (100%) of the costs shall" be assessed against benefited properties. . F. G. SANIT ARY SEWER AND WATER TRUNK IMPROVEMENTS. Trunk sewer and water mains are usually designed to carry larger volumes of flow than are necessary within an immediate property area in order to serve additional properties beyond the area of their immediate placement. Therefore, 100 percent (100%) of the cost of trunk - II - improvements will be assessed on a unit basis to all properties within a district deemed to be benefited from the trunk improvements. H. SEWER AND WATER SERVICES. Individual sewer and water services benefit only the properties they serve and 100 percent (100010) of their cost shall be assessed to the property for which they are installed. 1. DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS. Storm drainage and ponding/basin systems are usually constructed to serve a specific drainage or "watershed" district. The cost of drainage improvements shall be 100 percent (100%) assessed to the properties within the drainage district. The cost may also be levied on an ad valorem tax basis to the properties within the district as provided by Minnesota Statutes. Storm sewer reconstruction normally takes place together with street reconstruction projects and the costs shalt be assessed in accordance with the assessment policies related to street improvements. J. SPECIAL CONSIDERATION. Special consideration shall be given to the "age" of a street or utility system when determining the proportion of cost to be assessed to benefited properties. If it is necessary to reconstruct or resurface a street^before a reasonable amount of time (15 A years for resurfacing~ and 25 yearsAfor total reconstruction). The assessment shall be calculated on a pro rata basis. The remaining cost shall be recovered by means of the general ad valorem property tax paid by the entire community or by other funds that may become available to the City for infrastructure cost recovery. Further, costs associated with extra width or tonnage associated with collector status of streets or traffic control devises shall be subtracted from the total cost to be assessed against benefited property. Finally. MSA streets will be assessed to the equivalent local street costs. K. INDUSTRIAL PARK ASSESSMENTS. The Industrial Park is generally bounded by Orleans Street to the north, Greeley Street to the east, CSAH County Road 5 to the west and Highway 36 to the south. The following assessment methods shall be used for Industrial Park improvement projects: I. Area Assessment: . a. Total or partial street reconstruction projects. b. Water and sewer mains. c. Storm sewer/drainage. d. Trunk sanitary sewer. 2. Unit Basis: a. Sewer services, - 12 - b. Water services. One hundred percent (100%) of the cost of improvements shall be assessed to benefited properties. SECTION IV - ASSESSMENT CONDITIONS A. TERM OF ASSESSMENT. The term of special assessments shall normally be for a ten (10) year period. However, in some cases the project costs warrant either shorter or longer terms. For example, sidewalk improvements undertaken separately may be assessed for over a five (5) year period because the costs are usually nominal (under $2,000). On 'the other hand, some major reconstruction projects where several types of improvements are involved could lead to a very high assessment which could create a financial hardship if assessed for a ten (10) year term. A fifteen (15) to twenty (20) year term may be appropriate in this case. In any event, the assessment term should never exceed the potential life of the improvement. B. INTEREST RATE. The interest rate charged on assessments for all projects financed internally or by debt issuance (the "Funds") shall be onwercent (~) greater than the "current interest rate of th~Funds used to finance the improvement. This is necessary in order to ensure adequate cash flow when the City is unable to reinvest assessment prepayments at an interest rate sufficient to meet the interest cost of Funds or when the City experiences problems of payment collection delinquencies. Interest on initial special assessment installments shall begin to accrue from the date of the resolution adopting the assessment. Owners must be notified by mail of any changes adopted by the City Council regarding interest rates or prepayment requirements which differ from those contained in the notice of the proposed assessment. c. PAYMENT PROCEDURES, The property owner hasAfour available options when considering payment of assessments: 1. Tax Payment. If no payment is undertaken by the property owner, then special assessment installments will appear annually on the individual's property tax statement for the duration of the assessment term. 2. Full Payment. No interest will be charged if the entire assessment is paid within 30 days of the date of adoption of the assessment roll. 3. Partial Payment. The property owner has a one-time opportunity to make a partial payment reduction of any amount againswheir assessment. This option may only be exercised within the 30-day period immediately following adoption of the assessment roll. 4. Prepayment. The property owner may at any time prior to November 15 of the initial year, prepay the balance of the assessment with interest accrued to December 31 of that year. The property owner may also choose to pay the remaining assessment balance at any time, with the exception of the current year's - 13 - installment of principal and interest. which must be collected with the real estate taxes. - D. APPEALS PROCEDURES. No appeal may be taken as to the amount of any assessment adopted unless a written objection signed by the affected property owner is filed with the city clerk's office prior to the assessment hearing or presented to the presiding officer at the hearing. The property owner may appeal an assessment to District Court by serving notice of the- appeal upon the Mayor or city clerk within 30 days after the adoption of the assessment and filing such notice with the District Court within 10 days after service of the appeal upon the Mayor or city clerk. E. REAPPORTIONMENT UPON LAND DIVISION. When a tract of land against which a special assessment has been levied is subsequently divided or subdivided by plat or otherwise, the City Council may, on application of the owner of any part of the tract or on its own motion, equitably apportion among the various lots or parcels in the tract all the installments of the assessment against the tract remaining unpaid and not then due if it determines that such apportionment will not materially impair collection of the unpaid balance of the original assessment against the tract. The apportionment shall be done on the same basis as the original assessment unless another method of apportioning can be done with the owner's acceptance and if the apportionment will not materially impair collection of the unpaid balance of the assessment against the tract of land. In any case, the City Council may require furnishing of a satisfactory surety bond in certain cases as specified in Minnesota Statutes Section 429.071, Subd. 3 . Notice of the apportionment and of the right to appeal shall be mailed to or personally served upon all owners of any part of the tract. F. SENIOR CITIZEN DEFERRAL. Chapter 56.05 of the Stillwater City Code allows the City Council, at its discretion, to defer the payment of any special assessment for local improvements constructed by the City when it determines by a three-fifths (3/5) vote that the property being assessed is homestead property and that one or more of the owners of the property is sixt~ve (65) years of age or over and that the payment of the assessment would be a hardship for the owner thereof. The interest for senior citizen deferral shall be at the same rate that the City sets for other property owners for the improvement SECTION V - SUPPLEMENTAL ASSESSMENT POLICY GUIDELINES A. AREAS PARTIALLY SERVED BY UTILITIES. Any tract of land, lot or parcel whereby a project improvement, such as a sewer or water lateral or ending street terminus, does not extend fully past or beyond the property shall be considered served, benefited and assessed accordingly. The current special assessment shall be subject to an adjusted front footage not to exceed 150 feet and a maximum current acreage of 2.5 acres, provided said assessment does not exceed the special benefit conferred upon the affected property. If an improvement benefits, non-abutting properties which may be served by the improvement when later extensions or improvements are made but are not initially assessed, the City may reimburse itself for all or part of the costs incurred by - 14- assessing those non-abutting properties at the time of the later extensions or improvements. However, proper notice must be given of that fact at the time of making the extensions or improvements to the previously unassessed non-abutting properties. The City may also establish "hookup" charges to recover costs of sewer and water main improvements not initially assessed. B. PRELIMINARY PLAT CONSIDERATION. Land could be considered for assessment based on preliminary plat consideration. This consideration will occur only when the following scenarios exits: (1) the City Council has approved a preliminary plat, and (2) a public hearing ordering the improvement project has not yet occurred. In the event this exists, assessment frontages may be calculated based upon the proposed lot configuration within the preliminary plat. Road right-of-way within the proposed street alignment will not be subject to assessment. C. TAX EXEMPT PROPERTY. Other than land under City ownership, there are three categories of tax: exempt properties. Said properties shall be assessed as follows: 1. Churches and schools shall be assessed in the same manner as commercial and industrial zoned property, as long as the assessments do not exceed the special benefits conferred. Acreage assessment shall be based upon the gross acreage of the sit. Adjusted front footage shall be similarly calculated along the building setback line in its entirety. 2. State land is normally exempt from assessment unless otherwise negotiated or agreed upon by the affected state agency. 3. County land is subject to assessment and shall be assessed in the same manner as commercial and industrial zoned property, as long as the assessments do not exceed the special benefits conferred. D. MUNICIPAL PROPERTY ASSESSMENTS. City owned property is divided into three classifications for the purpose of determining assessment participation. They are: 1. Public facility land. 2. Public right-of-way. 3. Park land. Public facility property is defined as land utilized for public buildings such as city halls, fire halls, libraries, maintenance garages, municipal parking lots, etc. Public facility property within a project area will participate in the total assessable cost of an improvement and will be treated in the same manner as any other benefited parcel. Public right-of-way property consisting of all City acquired easements, subject to fee title, for the specific purpose of utility placement or street construction will be exempt from assessment. - 15 - Park land assessment eligibility IS further categorized according to the following descriptions: a. "Community Parks" are characterized by a higher degree of intense public use and are relatively large in area size, They are normally associated with athletic events and sporting activities, i.e., softball, football, baseball, hockey, etc. Park lands of this nature will be subject to assessments. Because community parks provide citywide benefit, the cost of these assessments shall be recovered be a special levy upon the ad valorem taxes. b. "Neighborhood Parks" accommodate open space objectives within residential development and are passive in use as indicated by such features as playground structures. Because neighborhood parks are commonly used by the immediate residents of the area, such park land will not be assessed if it comprises less than 25 percent of the aggregate project area. Larger parks representing an area grater than 25 percent of the aggregate project area shall participate in the assessment process in the same manner as community parks. c. "Parkland Dedication" is required either in the form of cash in lieu of land or a land grant. The developer shall be responsible for the, payment of all special assessments existing at the time of dedication. Depending upon the amount of land involved, the development shall not be assessed trunk acreage for that portion exceeding the minimum percentage dedication requirement for park purposes. E. T AX FORFEITURE ASSESSMENTS. When a parcel of tax forfeited land is returned to private ownership, and the parcel is benefited by an improvement for which special assessments were cancelled because of the forfeiture, the City may, upon notice and hearing as provided for the original assessment, make a reassessment or a new assessment as to the parcel in an amount equal to the amount remaining unpaid on the original assessment. F. FIRST SERVE SITUATIONS. If the plans of the City and a developer coincide in regard to utility installations on certain properties, the plans of the City shall receive first consideration. In that event, the City may, upon notice and hearing, assess all unplatted parcels according to this Policy if the improvements are approved prior to hardshell consent of the unplatted properties~ G. NEW SUBDIVISIONS. The improvement costs of new subdivisions shall be the sole responsibility of the property developer except consideration shall be given for assessing any other properties that receives special benefit from the improvements, ^ - 16- Adjusted Front Footage Assessment Condominium Drainage District Lateral Multifamily Nuisance Abatements Oversizing SECTION VI - DEFINITIONS The number of feet actually utilized in calculating an assessment for a particular property. This may differ from the actual front footage of the property. The dollar amount charged against a property receiving an improvement benefit. Individual ownership of a unit in a multi-unit structure (similar to an apartment building). A special relationship exists whereby the individual owns the actual air space within the physical confines of the unit but not the barrier walls themselves. An area defined by the City Engineer which shall form the physical boundaries where benefit exists within a storm sewer project. Property to be included within a district shall be all land which contributes to storm water runoff. as well as land serving as a collector basin for storing such water. Natural geographical features normally form these boundaries. A lateral sewer is designated to collect the sewage from a project area for conveyance to a trunk facility. A water lateral is sized to provide water in sufficient volumes and pressure as required t serve a defined project area. A structure ofttwo or more units, the primary purpose of which is to provide rental or leased living space to the general public. Building characteristics include common hallways for access purposes and a common parking lot. The elimination of a nuisance whereby the City acts on behalf of the property owner as authorized by ordinance to eliminate problems such as junk, weeds, dead trees, etc. The City may collect the charges for all or any part of the cost of eliminating any such nuisance by levying a special assessment against the property benefited. A pipe which is designed and constructed larger and/or deeper than necessary to serve a specific project area. - 17 - Public Improvement A project undertaken by the City under the authority granted in MSA 9429.021 for the purpose of installation of improvements such as street, curb and gutter, sewer, water, etc. A public hearing shall be conducted to determine the necessity and common good of the project as it affects the community. Upon authorization, the City will proceed with construction and administration ofthe project. Townhouse Single family attached units in structures housin~two or more contiguous dwelling units, sharing a common wall, each having separate individual front and rear entrances; the structure is that of a row-type house as distinguished from multiple-dwelling apartment buildings. Utility Improvement Area A defined area within which all properties are deemed to have been served by an important project and are considered to receive the benefit. - 18 - EXHIBIT "A" SUMMARY OF SCHEDULE OF ACTIONS AND RESOLUTIONS FOR LOCAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS 1.

First St. He stated there were four occupants in the home, one of whom needed assistance in getting out of the structure, a very serious situation. He noted that when the call came in, smoke and fire were showing. When fire crews arrived on scene, the fire had vented itself out the front windows, Chief Glaser said. Fortunately, all occupants escaped the home, but the home was severely damaged, he said, and is unlivable. Occupants are receiving assistance from the Red Cross, he said. Chief Glaser acknowledged the efforts of Stillwater Officer Leslie Wardell and Oak Park Heights Sgt. Paul Hoppe in assisting an elderly resident out of the home. The cause of the fire is under investigation, Chief Glaser stated. Public Works Director Sanders reminded the Council of an open house for the traffic study performed for the Greeley, Myrtle and Olive streets area; the open house is scheduled for February 27,4-7 p.m., at City Hall. Notices have been sent to the residents in the project area, he said. It was suggested that notice of the open house be placed on the City web page, and Mr. Sanders said that would be done. CONSENT AGENDA Assistant Vice Mayor Polehna asked that item NO.5 be pulled for discussion purposes. Motion by Council member Gag, seconded by Councilmember Nyberg, approved the Consent Agenda, excluding item NO.5. Ayes: Councilmembers Gag, Nyberg and Assistant Vice Mayor Polehna Nays: None Mr. Polehna expressed a concern about the cost for the purchase of equipment that will be used basically for grooming the City's three ball fields considering the City's budget situation. Public Works Director Sanders explained that the requested utility groomer and utility vehicle are independent of each other. He stated the requested vehicle has a greater load capacity and larger storage room than other vehicles that were looked at. Mr. Sanders pointed out the vehicle is not used just for grooming fields; it is used for park maintenance, trail maintenance, as well as the grooming of fields. The groomer is attached to the vehicle, which is a multi-purpose vehicle used in the parks department, not a single-use vehicle, he noted. Mr. Sanders stated the other vehicles didn't meet the City's needs for a multi-purpose use vehicle. Motion by Council member Nyberg, seconded by Councilmember Gag, moved approval of the purchase of the utility vehicle and groomer equipment as presented.

Stillwater, MN PUBLIC HEARINGS There were no public hearings. UNFINISHED BUSINESS Update on Mainstream Development (Vern Stefan) and the City reqardinq public restrooms (tabled from February 4 meetinq) City Attorney Magnuson stated that after the last Council meeting regarding this issue, one of the things Mr. Stefan proposed was a willingness to give back to the City the property that was traded for the parking rights. Mr. Stefan proposed paying the City for that portion of the property that has since been sold to others and could no longer be returned to the City. Mr. Magnuson reviewed the property in question and the history of the City's acquisition, which was tied to efforts to keep Cub Foods' corporate headquarters in Stillwater. Mr. Magnuson reviewed the original purchase price and subsequent sale of a portion of the property for what is now the Lumber Baron's Hotel, and the City's decision to trade the 20' strip of property for parking rights in a lot that had been leased from Maple Island prior to the sale. Mr. Magnuson noted the value of the 20' strip of land in 1991 was about 23 cents a square foot. On a question by Councilmember Nyberg, Mr. Magnuson explained that the City Council agreed to vacate the parking rights contingent on Mr. Stefan (Mainstream Development) negotiating with the City on the provision of public restrooms in the new building. Mr. Magnuson outlined several options that the Council could consider: trying to rescind the agreement in 1996 to trade the property for the parking rights; require a cash contribution for public restrooms in the downtown area; or continue working on an agreement for dedication of. some public restroom use in the new building. Page 3 of 9 City Council Meeting - 08-04 February 19, 2008 , Mr. Magnuson suggested the worst option, as far as the developer is concerned, is requiring the developer to make their own private restrooms available to the public. Mr. Magnuson suggested that intense public use of private restrooms in the new building, with office space, would not be too attractive to any developer. Councilmember Nyberg noted that the reason prior Councils stipulated provision of public restrooms is the fact that because the City had the parking rights in that location, development could not proceed without the City vacating those parking rights. Councilmember Nyberg said he would not be in favor of pursuing the option of rescinding the 1996 agreement and reacquiring the 20' strip of non-buildable property for a few thousand dollars. Councilmember Nyberg stated his issue continues to be what the City receives in exchange for giving up the parking easement, and said he would be interested in looking at the option of a cash contribution toward building public restrooms at another location. Councilmember Gag agreed that requiring dedication of funds for a restroom facility seems to be a workable solution. Council member Gag also asked whether there is more information regarding the City's cost of maintaining a restroom facility on a yearly basis should the City be responsible for operating/maintaining a facility in Mr. Stefan's building on off-hours. City Administrator Hansen said information about cost is something that staff could research and bring back to the Council, and pointed out the information presented tonight is new information that the Council has not had time to contemplate. City Administrator Hansen suggested that the Council should not feel compelled to make a decision at this meeting. Assistant Vice Mayor Polehna asked that all the options be spelled out, with the associated costs for all the options. Councilmember Gag said he was not ready to give up on the option of some type of public facility in the Mainstream Development building and asked for more information on the costs associated with that option. Council member Nyberg spoke in favor of getting funds for a facility in another location, especially considering there will be a public restroom in the Mills on Main building. Councilmember Gag pointed out the Mills on Main restrooms might not be open on weekends; Assistant Vice Mayor Polehna said information on the Mills on Main facility could be provided along with the more detailed information on the options and costs involved with the Mainstream Development proposal. It was consensus to consider this issue, with the additional information to be provided by staff, at the next meeting. Possible acceptance of Findinqs of Fact and adoption of Resolution of Denial for a minor PUD amendment for Lot 1, Block 2, Settler's Glen 8th Addition Tim Fohr, Lennar Corporation, addressed the Council. He noted they had not commented at the previous Council meeting as they had no objections to the Planning Commission's action - approval of the request on a 5-1 vote. Mr. Fohr pointed out there is about a 7' linear height difference between the home on the original resolution and the home they had proposed in the PUD amendment; the new home is about 96 square feet larger as seen from the rear elevation, a minimal change visually. Also, Mr. Fohr stressed that the motivating factor in the requested amendment is not market Page 4 of 9 ( City Council Meeting - 08-04 February 19, 2008 conditions, as was suggested at the Council's Feb. 4, 2008 meeting, but rather is due to the size of the home site, 70 feet wide, which, he said, precludes development of a single-story home on that site. Assistant Vice Mayor Polehna pointed out this is the second time the developer has come back with changes and said the developer sold the community on a certain look and certain size house. And, he noted it was the developer who determined the size of the lots, saying it is difficult for him to approve changes in mid-stream. Mr. Fohr stated the main reason for this request is the continuity of the neighborhood, noting the cul-de- sac in question is made up of three-story, large homes, and building a single-story home on that site could potentially undermine the property values of the neighboring homes. Assistant Vice Mayor Polehna asked if Lennar would be willing to extend the 60-day rule if the decision was made to delay action until there was a full Council present. Mr. Fohr responded in the affirmative. Motion by Councilmember Gag, seconded by Councilmember Nyberg to table action until the next meeting, given Mr. Fohr's indication to extend the 60-day rule. All in favor. NEW BUSINESS Parkinq Ramp Land Exchanqe City Administrator Hansen briefly updated the Council on the parking ramp project. He said there is a pending land exchange with Trinity Lutheran Church and staff would like to determine Council's position regarding the potential property trade. City Attorney Magnuson described the parcels involved, a small parcel on the northwest corner of Fourth and Myrtle that the City currently owns and leases to the Post Office and property the Church owns on the east side of Third Street. Mr. Magnuson said he thought the Church would be willing to deed their property to the City, along with the right of reverter with the same restriction on the City's land that would be deeded to the Church. City Administrator Hansen explained that the issue was being brought up at this time as the land exchange is a critical part of the parking ramp project. Councilmembers in attendance indicated no problem with the proposed land exchange; however this item will be reviewed by the full Council at the next meeting. Possible adoption of resolution acceptinq bids and awardinq contract for Lily Lake Parkinq Lot Proiect and the Drivinq Park Ravine Proiect Public Works Director Sanders stated bids for the project were opened Feb. 14,2008, with seven bids received. Low bid was submitted by Tower Asphalt in the amount of $168,222; engineer's estimate was $203,000. Motion by Councilmember Gag, seconded by Councilmember Nyberg to adopt Resolution 2008-24, Accepting Bid and Awarding Contract for Lily Lake Parking Lot Project (Project 2006- 03) and Driving Park Ravine Project (Project 2006-07). Page 5 of 9 City Council Meeting - 08-04 February 19, 2008 , Ayes: Councilmembers Gag, Nyberg and Assistant Vice Mayor Polehna Nays: None Possible approval of member to Library Board Motion by Councilmember Gag, seconded by Councilmember Nyberg to adopt Resolution 2008-25, appointment to Library Board, appointing James Pedginski to the Library Board of Trustees as recommended by the Library Board based on interviews with the candidates. Ayes: Councilmember Gag, Nyberg and Assistant Vice Mayor Polehna Nays: None Discussion on Administrative Citations - Police Police Chief Gannaway gave a Power Point presentation on a proposal to implement an administrative citation program in the City of Stillwater. The presentation outlined how an administrative citation works, as well as the pros and cons associated with such a program. Chief Gannaway noted there are some legal issues associated with an administrative citation program, including an opinion by the State Auditor's Office and State Attorney General's office that such citations are not legal; but, he noted that some latitude has been granted to Charter Cities, such as Stillwater. Chief Gannaway pointed out enabling legislation allowing such citations was considered in the last Legislature and is on the table again in this session. The presentation also listed proposed fines, and noted that all offenses proposed for administrative citations relate to minor traffic offenses and public nuisances, primarily petty misdemeanors. Councilmember Gag asked about record-keeping and whether other departments would be involved in such duties. Chief Gannaway responded that his department would be responsible for record-keeping for the persons issued administrative citations, with a system already in place for such record keeping. Finance Department would handle collection of the fines, he said. Assistant Vice Mayor Polehna asked about the potential for a loss of state funds, given the State Auditor and State Attorney General's position on administrative citations. City Administrator Hansen stated this proposal has been talked about for several years and previously he was against the proposal due to similar concerns. Last year, two bills were introduced at the Legislature, Mr. Hansen said, one to disallow the practice and one to allow the practice, and he noted that the bill to allow the administrative citation program got a better hearing than the bill that would disallow the programs. Mr. Hansen noted that 80 some entities have such a program and they have not been prevented from doing so thus far. Councilmember Gag asked for an estimate of how much revenue such a program might generate; City Administrator Hansen responded that the main purpose is not revenue. Chief Gannaway said revenue should not be the main focus of enforcement. City Administrator Hansen pointed out that it is a losing proposition, financially, for the City to issue Uniform Traffic Citation, given court costs, office court time and payment for prosecution. Page 6 of 9 City Council Meeting - 08-04 February 19, 2008 It was consensus to pursue the possibility of implementing the program and bring back to Council at a future date. Possible chanqe of 1 st meetinq in March meetinq date City Clerk Ward explained that generally the first Tuesday in March of even years is caucus night in Minnesota. The caucuses were held February 5 this year, however the statute has not been changed. In order to comply with existing statute, Ms. Ward asked that Council consider moving the first March meeting date to Wednesday, March 5. Motion by Councilmember Gag moved, seconded by Councilmember Nyberg to change the first Council meeting date in March to Wednesday, March 5. All in favor. Possible adoption of resolution in support of leqislation that would revise Minnesota Statutes relatinq to Local Government Aid City Administrator Hansen stated that he had been contacted by the City Manager of Fridley regarding the City's position on Local Government Aid. Fridley is heading up a group of suburban cities that is requesting a change in the Local Government Aid formula, he said, and that is the only way Stillwater will find some financial relief. The City needs a change in the formula, not just more money in the local government aid fund, he said. He noted under the proposed formula change, Stillwater would come out substantially better than under the current formula. City Administrator Hansen said he would recommend supporting the proposed formula revision. Motion by Councilmember Nyberg, seconded by Councilmember Gag to adopt Resolution 2008-26, resolution in support of legislation revising Minnesota Statutes relating to Local Government Aid Ayes: Councilmembers Gag, Nyberg and Assistant Vice Mayor Polehna Nays: None Discussion on use of Kolliner Park Councilmember Nyberg said he could think of no reason why the City would support this request to use Kolliner Park for a study/plan related to the Winged Mapleleaf mussel. He noted that one of the issues related to delaying action on a new river crossing in the past has been related to the presence of rare mussels, and said he has not been able to find anyone who can tell him the significance of the Winged Mapleleaf mussel, its value to the river habitat or society. Councilmember Gag asked if there have been other instances of such requests. City Administrator Hansen said the request came to him via e-mail, and said while he had similar concerns about the possibility the information might be used to forestall the bridge project; the City does generally cooperate with other governmental agencies. City Administrator Hansen suggested a decision could be delayed until there is a full Council. Councilmember Gag agreed with Council member Nyberg's position and noted there doesn't seem to be any immediacy to the study as Page 7 of 9 City Council Meeting - 08-04 February 19, 2008 the plan is dated April 2004. Assistant Vice Mayor Polehna wondered why the Winged Mapleleaf mussel wasn't raised as an issue 20 years ago. Motion by Councilmember Nyberg, seconded by Councilmember Gag to deny the use of Kolliner Park to conduct a study for the Winged Mapleleaf mussel. All in favor. COUNCIL REQUEST ITEMS Councilmember Gag asked about the status of the Jaycee athletic fields. Assistant Vice Mayor Polehna stated that a group of interested people would be meeting with the Minnesota Amateur Sports Facilities Commission to get some ideas on how to solve some of the need for fields in the St. Croix Valley. Nothing specific has been happening with the Jaycee fields, he said. Mr. Gag asked Public Works Director Sanders if the City's has any plans for cleaning up that area. Mr. Sanders responded there is nothing in the City's five-year plan for that area. Councilmember Gag asked Fire Chief Glaser asked about the status of a new fire hall at the Jaycee site. Chief Glaser said no decision has been made. Chief Glaser noted the consultants did not say that site was unusable for a fire station, just that there would be lots of remediation efforts needed for that site. He said there are grant funds available to help recover "brown fields," but he is not sure if that would be an option. Chief Glaser stated there has been no movement on the new fire station issue since the decision was made last April to halt the site study. Chief Glaser suggested the next step is for the City to determine whether to pursue the single-station option or two-station option suggested by consultants and then locate a potential site, noting that there are limited sites. Council member Gag asked if Chief Glaser has any funds in his capital plan for the purchase of property. Chief Glaser responded that he had budgeted $25,000 in 2008 to continue to study the options and determine how to proceed. Chief Glaser suggested that one of the problems with the Jaycee field site is that the study was terminated before space needs were considered and the actual impact on the dump site determined. Councilmember Nyberg spoke of the staffing cost of a two-station option and suggested that even if a site for a single-station department is more expensive, that cost might be recouped over a period of 10 or 20 years. Councilmember Gag said he raised this issue because the City will be entering another budget cycle, and he wanted to determine the commitment on this issue; he referred to other capital expenditure suggestions - a hockey rink downtown, acquiring the Boom Site, library funding, etc. - and suggested public safety should be a commitment as well. Assistant Vice Mayor Polehna said he was on the committee that reviewed the consultants findings regarding the Jaycee site and said he recalled there were a lot more issues with the site than just remediation and the consultants recommendations was, in essence, that the site be scratched from consideration due to long-term costs. Mr. Polehna agreed that the Council needs to look long-range to address police and fire needs and if a new site is needed, the Council should start doing that right away, before suitable sites are developed. Councilmember Nyberg pointed out that even if the Jaycee/dump site is not used for a new fire station, the City will have to expend funds for cleanup. Assistant Vice Mayor Polehna said he thought the City should go back to the drawing board looking for Page 8 of 9 " , City Council Meeting - 08-04 February 19, 2008 a potential site and suggested that should be an issue looked at in the Comprehensive Plan process. Councilmember Gag suggested this issue be looked at in the land use area of the Comprehensive Plan and, with the $25,000 that is budgeted; begin planning for a new fire station. Assistant Vice Mayor Polehna spoke of the upcoming budget process and noted that all indications are the state will experience extreme shortfalls in revenues this year. He asked what steps the City is taking to be proactive in anticipating additional cuts in state funding. City Administrator Hansen responded that staff have presented a number of revenue-generating ideas to the Council and said he didn't think there were many more revenue-generating options available. City Administrator Hansen suggested that the Council needs to control new initiatives. City Administrator Hansen also noted that about 75 percent of the City's budget is personnel and said he didn't see any waste in that area. Mr. Hansen stated that he believes 2008 and 2009 will be very difficult for local governments in general, with tough issues ahead.

The remodeling of the office area is just about complete, but I am waiting for a panel replacement (due to damage) and the addition of another panel to be installed. Because the books for 2007 are just about closed, staff does not want to pay the bill until all of the issues have been resolved. This is the reason for the carry over request. Staff asks that Council consider this request. I MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Council Tim Moore, Project Coordinator -1'{v\. FROM: DATE: February 28, 2008 SUBJECT: Purchase of Flow Meters DISCUSSION The Met Council has adopted a program throughout the metro area where they would impose a surcharge to those communities that are identified as having excessive inflow into the sanitary sewer system. Inflow is the result of direct runoff into the sanitary sewer system from roof drains, sump pumps, open manholes, etc. The City of Stillwater has been listed as a community with excessive inflow flows into the sanitary system. In two rain events on August 26 and October 5, 2005 the City exceeded its flow limit to the waste water treatment plant by 1.2 million gallons. According to the Met Council, the city will receive a surcharge of$340,000.00, spread equally over the next five years or $84,000 per year. The surcharge amount is returned to the City as compensation for such items as repairs, televising lines, and studies done to alleviate the problem. The Engineering department is considering methods to reduce the inflow. The city purchased one flow meter in July of 2006 to monitor flows in the downtown area. The engineering Department has identified other areas for further monitoring up stream from the trunk sewer along the river. Staffhas received a quote from Tech Sales Co. for 4 additional ISCO meters that would be installed this spring. The flow meters would provide us with information to compare average daily flows, flows after rain events and to flows after snow melt run off. The meters are the same model as the one the city is currently using and includes software up grades. Staffhas budgeted money to purchase the flow meters in 2008 and is a capital outlay item coming from the sewer fund. A copy ofthe quotation in the amount of $24,328.00 is attached. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that Council approve the purchase of the flow meters ACTION REQUIRED Council should pass a motion adopting a resolution AUTHORIZING PURCHASE OF FLOW METERS FOR THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT.

Director, Assistant City Engineer PREP ARED BY: Michel Pogge, City Planner f111f DISCUSSION The applicant is requesting review and approval of a Preliminary Plat and Zoning Map Amendment from the City Council. The variance to the lot width requirements for Lot 1 was previously approved by the Planning Commission on February II, 2008. The subdivision is called Nightingale Estates. The project is located on the east side of Nightingale Blvd, west of Bruer's Pond, and south of the Croixwood Development. The total project site is 5.23 acre (2.51 acres of which are above the water level of Bruer's Pond). The site is proposed to be developed into 4 single family lots, 1 lot that will include the existing home and three new lots along Nightingale Blvd. Nightingale Estates February 28, 2008 Page 2 SPECIFIC REQUEST In order to develop the property as proposed, Advent Builders has requested the following: 1. Approval of a rezoning of the property from AP, Agricultural Preservation to LR, Lakeshore Residential; 2. Approval of a Preliminary Plat for a 4 lot single family residential development; EVALUATION OF REQUEST 1. REZONING Neighborhood Land Use follows: Existing and planned land uses in the neighborhood are as North Croixwood Development zoned RA with single-family lots in the range of 11,400 square foot. Single-family home zoned AP. Property is 5.31 acres in area. Property is guided for Single Family Large Lot by the Comprehensive Plan. Bruer's Pond Nightingale Boulevard South East West Land Use Compatibility One of the principle issues to be considered for a rezoning is whether the proposed change would be compatible with existing and planned uses within the surrounding neighborhood. This area was developed as rural single-family lots prior to its annexation into the City of Stillwater. As mentioned above the site is adjacent to Croixwood development to the north. The applicant has requested the LR, Lakeshore Residential zoning district to meet the requirements of the Shore land Overlay District requirements since this property is within 1000 feet of Long Lake. Existing lots in this area have been redeveloped into smaller lots over time and have also been rezoned to the LR zoning classification to meet the requirements of the Shoreland Overlay District. The proposed rezoning to LR would be compatible with the surrounding uses. Since the proposed LR zoning for the bulk of the site represents a logical continuation of the redevelopment that has been occurring in the area and since it meets the requirements of the guided density of the comprehensive plan and meets the Shoreland Overlay District requirements, staff finds the proposed LR rezoning to be acceptable. Nightingale Estates February 28, 2008 Page 3 II. PRELIMINARY PLAT A. Minimum Dimensional Standards Lot size and width In the LR Zoning District must be at least 20,000 square feet. The lots range between 20,029 and 44,902 square feet 1 and meet the required minimum lot size. The minimum lot width in the LR district is 80 feet, measured at the midway point between the front and rear lot lines. All of the lots meet this requirement except for Lot 1. The Planning Commission has approved a variance from the minimum lot width standard for Lot 1 in order that more regular shaped lots can be created for lots 2-4. Lakeshore Standards The majority of the subdivision lies within the Shoreland Management Overlay District for Long Lake. This triggers an entire body of separate regulations. The LR zoning classification meets or exceeds the requirements of the Shoreland Overlay District. Since the Lot 1 does not meet the minimum lot width requirement the City has forward the plans to the DNR for review and comments. In an e-mail from the DNR they have initially indicated that they would support the requested variance to the lot width standard. Staff recommends that as a condition of approval the developer addresses any concerns of the DNR before the final plan be release for recording. B. Civil Engineering The City Engineer has reviewed the preliminary plans and offers the comments in the attached memo dated December 31,2007. These comments should be made a condition of approval prior to the construction of the utilities or the release of the final plat for recording. Storm Water Currently there is an isolated wetland on the property that has no defined outlet. Today, when the level of the wetland rises due to a seasonal period of wet weather, the wetland overflows to the south onto the property at 1165 Nightingale Boulevard. The proposed development includes a storm water pond that meets the City standard requirements. Based on the recommendations of City Engineering staff the developer is proposing an emergency outlet pipe to I This only includes the area of the lots that will not nonnally be underwater from Bmer's Pond. Nightingale Estates February 28, 2008 Page 4 Bruer's Pond to alleviate flooding concerns for the proposed home sites and the adjacent property. The pipe would convey water to Bruer's Pond only in an extreme hydrologic event (greater than both the 1 % probability rainfall and 10-day snowmelt events). The drainage calculations demonstrate that the water levels after the proposed site is constructed will be less than the existing water levels for the required storm events (2.8-inch, 4.1-inch, 5.9-inch, 10.8-inch snowfall). This new pond and drainage pipe will not eliminate the possibility of water backing up on to the property at 1165 Nightingale Boulevard; however, it should decrease the frequency and the overall impact when it does occur. The attached sketch shows the emergency overflow direction for the existing wetland and for the proposed storm water pond. C. Tree Preservation City Forester Kathy Widin has completed her initial review of the Nightingale Estates plans. A copy of her report is attached. In addition to her standard protection and replacement comments she noted the following: 1. The plans were missing the calculation of existing canopy cover and acreage or percentage of canopy cover to be removed in process of development (itemized both for construction of improvements and also building pads on private lots (estimate)). Since the forester's report the developer has completed these plans and submitted them for review. The plan has since been reviewed by The City Forester who noted that the total number of replacement trees for this site is 35 required trees. 2. The Forester report noted the following related to the trees on 1165 Nightingale Blvd: Concerns of Neighboring Property Owners: The owners of the adjoining property to the south of this proposed development have expressed concerns re: construction damage to mature oaks in the NW corner of their property. They are also concerned re: the effect of construction on potential oak wilt infection in these trees (see section on "Oak Wilt"). These oaks are in fair-poor condition, with the one nearest the proposed development being in the worst condition (poor), with storm damage, and extensive trunk decay and defects. The other two oaks also have some evidence of internal decay and trunk and branch defects, but are in better condition. These three oaks are all of importance to the property owners and should be protected as much as possible from construction damage. Nightingale Estates February 28, 2008 Page 5 There appears to be a drainage and utility easement at the property line. Care should be taken to avoid root systems of oaks during excavation for any utility or drainage work needed. Positive drainage of water away from the root systems of these oaks is desirable to avoid oversaturation of soils around their roots. The root systems of these trees should be protected with orange snow-fencing set at least 20 ft. away from the trunks. To address these concerns the developer has revised the plans to show that no grading or other activities will occur within 10 feet of the southern property line. This change will keep construction activity a minimum of 20 feet away from the trees as recommended by the City Forester. Additionally, a swale is proposed to be placed starting 10 feet north of the south property line that will direct water east and into the storm water system that is being created for this development. D. Park and Trail Dedication On February 25, 2008 the Parks & Recreation Commission considered the development proposal. The area, including Nightingale Boulevard in the Croixwood development, has been developed without sidewalks. Since trails have not been developed in the area and the size of this site is small staff recommend that the developer pay cash-in-lieu for parkland dedication and trail dedication. At their meeting on February 25th the Parks & Recreation Commission recommended City Council approval of the plan with the conditions that park land dedication and trail improvement be in the form of cash in lieu of land and cash in lieu of trail construction. The total cash in lieu dedication is $7,500 ($2,000 per single- family lot for parkland dedication and $500 per single-family lot for trail development time 3 new lots). ALTERNATIVES The City Council has several alternatives. A. Table. If the Council needs additional information then the Council could choose to table the request until your March 17,2008 meeting.

CITY OF STILLWATER Ken Harycki, Mayor ATTEST: Diane Ward, City Clerk Nightingale Estates Forestry Report To: Mike Pogge Planner Bill Turnblad Community Devel. Dir. Planning Comm. City Council City of Stillwater From: Katharine D. Widin, Ph.D, Forestry Consultant City of Stillwater (651)430-8765 (vm) ( 651)436-8811 Re: Nightingale Estates 1/29/08 I have reviewed the preliminary development plans and tree inventory table (dated 9/11/07), for the proposed development of Nightingale Estates. I have also visited the site to look at the trees and spoken with the property owner on the south side of the parcel. I have the following comments/recommendations regarding this plan and submittals for the proposed development: Tree Protection Ordinance (#891 3/21/00)- This ordinance requires that the maximum number of trees be preserved during development. Included in plans are: a. A tree protection plan which also lists measures to be taken to protect significant trees during development Needed (to be provided by the developer): b. A calculation of existing canopy cover and acreage or percentage of canopy cover to be removed in process of development (itemized both for construction of improvements and also building pads on private lots (estimate) ) Nightingale Estates 1/29/08 - 2 Discussion I have calculated a total tree (significant and non-significant trees only, not canopy cover) removal amount of: 33 %. Of these, only 20 % (26) of the trees being removed would be considered significant trees (see City of Stillwater tree protection ordinance for definition of a significant tree). Most of the trees being removed are silver maples and most of those are considered non-significant (< 20 in. diameter (standard for silver maple, cottonwood, boxelder). A planting plan was provided. The developer should be aware of the following and that trees are being planted to provide adequate tree replacement for the trees being removed, per the Stillwater ordinance: 1. Tree removal for subdivision improvements requires a replacement of 10 trees/acre of removal of canopy cover. 2. Private development on building lots which removes canopy cover more than 35% will require tree replacement on a one-far-one basis. 3. Replacement trees are in addition to any other trees required to be planted in accordance with any other City planning subdivision requirements (3 trees per lot x 3 lots = 9 trees) 4. Replacement trees should be planted on the development site according to an overall project tree replacement plan, or a fee, in lieu of planting, based on the retail costs of 2 in. diameter deciduous trees, may be paid to the City for re-planting elsewhere within the City of Still water. Existing Woodland Conditions: The majority of trees on the parcel, especially the front part, are silver maple, thus most of the trees being removed for development are also silver maple. The front half of the parcel is naturally low and has an existing delineated wetland area. Silver maple is well-suited to the soil conditions on this parcel. Other species represented on site are: elm, aspen, cottonwood, oak, boxelder, pine, cherry, spruce and birch and many representatives of these other species are being retained, mainly on the site of the existing home, which is a more upland site. The significant trees in the woodland are predominantly in the "fair" to "fair-poor" condition, meaning they have some flaws in form and structure, may have trunk or branch defects, storm damage, and /01' evidence of internal decay. This condition rating is not unusual for trees in a natural woodland. There are several trees of special concern: Nightingale Estates 1/29/08 - 3 1. oak # 1067, in the NW portion of the parcel, just south of the existing driveway, will have grading right next to the tree and it may not survive, 2. oak #1108, on the north side of the parcel, just south of the existing driveway, is in very poor condition, with extensive decay and trunk separation, is a risk, and should be removed, 3. there are 2 large silver maples in the wetland area which are indicated to be saved. These trees (#1082 and #1103) are in poor condition and a potential risk due to poor form, and weak trunk connections with associated decay. No structures, including outdoor equipment or play structures, outdoor seating areas or outbuildings, should be within 40 + f1. of the trees. Stand opening, due to removal of other trees around them, will expose these trees to more wind and increase the risk of failure. Trees to be Preserved and Tree Protection: Any trees to be preserved, which are within 30 f1. of any type of soil disturbance, should be protected by a barrier of 5 f1. orange snow-fencing, set out as far from the trunk as feasible. Setting protective fencing at the critical root radius, or a distance 1.5 f1. times the diameter of the tree in inches, is a good rule of thumb to avoid any construction injury to the roots of trees to be saved, but it is not always possible, due to construction constraints. The tree protection barrier should be erected before any construction equipment appears on the site, and should be maintained throughout the course of the construction period. Tree protection measures should include protecting trees on neighboring properties which are within 30 f1. of any soil disturbance areas. Permission should be requested of adjoining property owner before any tree protection fencing is placed outside the property boundaries of the parcel being developed. Other Issues Concerns of Neighboring Property Owners: The owners of the adjoining property to the south of this proposed development have expressed concerns re: construction damage to mature oaks in the NW corner of their property. They are also concerned re: the effect of construction on potential oak wilt infection in these trees (see section on "Oak Wilt"). These oaks are in fair-poor condition, with the one nearest the proposed development being in the worst condition (poor), with storm damage, and extensive trunk decay and defects. The other two oaks also have some evidence of internal decay and trunk and branch defects, but are in better condition. These three oaks are all of importance to the property owners and should be protected as much as possible from construction damage. There appears to be a drainage and utility easement at the property line. Care should be taken to avoid root systems of oaks during excavation for any utility or drainage work needed. Positive drainage of water away from the root systems of these oaks is desirable to avoid oversaturation of soils around their roots. The root systems of these trees should be protected with orange snow-fencing set at least 20 f1. away from the trunks. Nightingale Estates 1/29/08 - 4 Oak Wilt I saw 1 dead oak but no other evidence of current oak wilt infection centers on the property during my recent visit. Areas where oaks exist on the property should be re- inspected in August or September of this year to look for signs of infection. Care should be taken to not wound or prune oaks from April 1 st to October 15th in order to prevent insect transmission of the oak wilt fungus to healthy trees. If any oaks are pruned or wounded during this susceptible period, the wounds should be painted immediately with spray paint, latex house paint or varnish. If oaks are felled between April and October, the cut stump surfaces should also be painted, if the stumps are to remain on site more than a couple hours. Tree Planting Plan I visited the site, and the plan and existing tree list reflect tree location, species and size on site. In most cases, construction, roadways and other improvements appear to be in areas of smaller, less valuable tree species. A conservation easement is proposed between the existing home and the new homes on the front of the parcel. Most replacement trees are proposed to be planted in this conservation easement area. The planting plan includes a list of tree species and sizes to be planted and also detail of planting method and planting notes. The tree species and sizes and the planting detail and notes are acceptable. The species should complement very well the native species on site. Twenty-six (26) trees are shown to be planted. There are 26 significant trees being removed from the site for all types of construction. This represents a "1 for 1" replacement of significant trees being removed on the parcel, which should satisfy the tree replacement requirements for both improvements and building lots. The subdivision ordinance of the City of Stillwater also requires three (3) trees planted per building lot. Two trees per lot are shown on the planting plan, and these are included in the 26 trees to be planted. Nine (9) additional trees should be planted. There is not room for more large shade trees in the front yards of the homes. I would suggest planting 4 additional shade trees between the rear yards of the northernmost 2 homes and the infiltration basin, and 5 small-statured trees such as mountain ash, serviceberry, ironwood, or pagoda dogwood, in the area of the conservation easement. The latter three species can be planted somewhat under the canopy of existing overstory trees. Please contact me if you have any questions regarding my review of the tree issues associated with this proposed development or recommendations for re-planting. Page 1 of 1 Michel Pogge From: Ed Lowell [Ed.Lowell@comcast.net] Sent: Tuesday, February 05,200811 :29 AM To: Michel Pogge Hi Mike, I do not have Kathy's e-mail address so ask that you please forward this note to her. Thanks, Ed Mike and Kathy, We have reviewed your report, Kathy, and appreciate the detail to which you reviewed the plans and site to develop your recommendations. However, we are concerned with your recommendation on tree preservation. Specifically in paragraph "Trees to be Preserved and Tree Protection:" after providing standard recommended guidelines for using the critical root radius you state "Tree protection measures should include protecting trees on neighboring properties which are within 30 f1. of any soil disturbance areas." In paragraph" Other Issues" regarding the trees on the property at 1165 Nightingale you state "The root systems of these trees should be protected with orange snow-fencing set at least 20 f1. away from the trunks. " Given that the critical root radius of the best of these trees (42 inch diameter) is 63 feet, why is the protection zone only 20 feet? 20 feet does not even extend to the dripline and is clearly within the existing root system. Further, this seems at odds with your statement shown in paragraph "Trees to be Preserved and Tree Protection". Please help us better understand your thinking in these statements. Finally, the available literature (Protecting Trees from Construction Damage from the University of Minnesota) we have consulted, and our own experience, indicate that it is very probable these trees will not survive the construction with the recommended protection zone. If you have additional research materials that will help us better understand your thinking we would appreciate being directed to that material so we can read it as well. Thanks, Ed and Carol Lowell 2/7/2008 Page 1 of I, Michel Pogge From: kdwidin@comcast.net Sent: Thursday, February 07, 2008 9:32 AM To: ed.lowell@comcast.net Cc: Michel Pogge Subject: Tree Protection Lowell Property - Nightingale Estates Ed - Thank you for contacting me regarding my recommendations for protection of trees on your property relative to the proposed Nightingale Estates development. My recommendations do take into account protection of the majority of the root systems of the oaks and they are based on years of experience dealing with trees and development. The Critical Root Zone (CRZ) calculation is a useful starting point as it would ensure complete protection of the root systems. In actual practice, however, there are few situations which merit, or can provide, that amount of distance from a tree, due to development constraints and requirements, which must also be considered. Tree condition is a major factor in decisions regarding the amount of protection which can be required. The oak on your property which is closest to the proposed construction is in poor condition with storm damage and extensive internal decay. A request for a protected distance equal to the CRZ is not warranted and would be difficult to defend in this case. Protecting trees which are within 30 ft. of soil disturbance areas (construction activity) is a standard recommendation in many ordinances and construction documents which deal with tree protection. It is based on observations of trees of many species and sizes after construction activity. Your trees fall within that 30 ft. distance. The recommendation to place snow fencing at least 20 ft. from the trunk is a standard which I have used often in construction situations, particularly when construction activity is occurring only on one side of the tree. Twenty feet is the minimum distance suggested and would be measured from the oak closest to the construction activity; consequently, the other oaks on your property, which are in slightly better condition, would be protected even more. A larger distance may be possible once the type of drainage/utility construction, at or near the property line, has been decided. Trees in the SW corner of the pa rcel for Nightingale Estates are also indicated to be protected with fencing, and this may extend the protective distance even more, depending also on where the drainage/utility construction will occur. I will talk with the city planner and the city engineer regarding the utility/drainage construction which is proposed for the south property boundary of the Nightingale Estates parcel, and can then make more specific recommendations regarding protection of the oaks on your property. I am currently out-of-town but would be happy to meet with you on site next week to discuss tree condition and protection recommendations. Kathy Widin Forestry Consultant City of Stillwater 2/7 /2008 Page 1 of I Michel Pogge From: Ed Lowell [Ed.Lowell@comcast.net] Sent: Thursday, February 07,200810:54 AM To: kdwidin@comcast.net Cc: Michel Pogge Subject: RE: Tree Protection Lowell Property - Nightingale Estates Hi Kathy, Thanks for responding so promptly to our questions. Our concerns are based on previous experience where we lost red/pin oak trees as a result of soil compaction to a portion of their root systems. Our reference is that the CRZ calculation is the best way to protect sensitive trees. We understand your rationale on distance but it seems that a 20 foot protection zone does not even cover the dripline, especially for the larger oak which is in better condition and has a larger canopy. From what we read the dripline is usually considered the minimum protection distance for sensitive trees. Never the less, it is your field of expertise not ours. We only have the experience of loosing trees. We are leaving town next week (we postponed our trip for 4 weeks due to this situation) and will not return for a month or so and, therefore, we will be unable to meet with you to further discuss it. We appreciate your offer. I hope the builders adhere to your recommendations. Please continue to monitor this construction project and provide guidance to the builders so that we do not loose these trees which we have worked to protect over the past few years from the oak wilt problem that you first helped us with. Thanks again and best regards, Ed 2/7/2008 2/5/2008 Dear Michel, In preparation for the upcoming council meeting, we would like to submit the enclosed pictures that my husband photographed last Sunday (2/3/2008). The first 5 show the US Bank building (6001 Stillwater Blvd N) that is nestled in quite a few lovely Red Oak trees. You can tell which ones are the Red Oaks, because they retain their leaves in the winter. I am told the building is at least 23years old and has a full basement. The last picture, with the Nightingale Park sign, is our property, which also has a large Red Oak at the end of the driveway. The edge of our neighbor's house is visible in the picture and not that far away from the tree. Their house is - 40 years old.

Magnuson DATE: February 18, 2008 RE: Update on Negotiations with Stefan regarding Restrooms After meeting with Stefan since the last meeting, I have been unable to move him very far off of the commitment to dedicate that was made prior to the last meeting. He did suggest, however, that he would be willing to rescind the agreement for the trade of the 20 ft. strip for the parking rights. He indicated that he would deed back to the City the square footage that he still owns, and pay the City for the portions of the 20 ft. strip that were sold to owners of the Maple Island building. At least some background is necessary to understand the context in which the 20 ft. strip was traded. First of all, 20 years ago, the Downtown was much different than it is today. Cub headquarters was located in what is now the Lumber Baron's Building based on a 99 year ground lease that was set to expire in 1998. Cub was working diligently with the City to assist with finding a new home and to maintain their headquarters in Stillwater. The Maple Island factory was only partially operating and was, for the most part, " "' abandoned. The Territorial Prison site was used for parking ISD #834 buses, but otherwise unused. As a catalyst for development, the City purchased the bulk share of the Burlington Northern property located in Downtown. The sale closed on June 26, 1991 and the City acquired 278,000 sq. ft. for the sum of $948,313, a map of this purchase is attached as Exhibit "A." The 20 ft. strip is marked as Parcell on Exhibit A. This property included all of the riverfront between the Gazebo and PD Pappy's, areas now used as parking lots, and the Lumber Baron's Building, together with its adjacent parking. The purchase price of $948.313 was partially repaid to the City by selling the Lumber Baron's Building prior to its renovation for $635,000 and receiving a Metropolitan Council open space grant in the amount of $260,000. As nearly as can be detennined, the remaining property after subtracting out what was sold to Lumber Baron's, is 227,600 sq. ft. Ifwe subtract from the purchase price the proceeds received from Lumber Baron's, $635,000 and the Metropolitan Outdoor Grant of $260,000, the purchase price for the remaining 227,600 sq. ft. was $53,313, or, $0.23 per sq. ft.. Also, Maple Island Inc. owned not only the Territorial Prison site by the Maple Island Building as well and insisted upon a coordinated sale of both sites. It was not until 1996 that the City was able to reach agreement for purchase of the Territorial Prison site, for the sum of $870,000, and finding a buyer, (Vem Stefan and the Mainstream Partners), for purchase of the old Maple Island factory site for the sum of $866,500. The Maple Island price was contingent upon the City obtaining a livable community tax base revitalization grant in the amount of $266,500, which reduced the price of the Stefan 2 , purchase to $600,000. It was at this time that the decision was made to trade the 20 ft. strip for parking rights. The area of the 20 ft. strip was approximately 8,900 sq. ft. I enclose a copy of Steve Russell's memorandum to the Mayor and City Council, dated November 20, 1996, as Exhibit "B." This describes the efforts made by Steve to obtain adaptive reuse of the old Maple Island site and his enthusiasm for the possibility of actually obtaining a grocery store for the Downtown. In his memorandum, he recommended to the City Council the trade of the 20 ft. strip in return for limited parking rights in a lot that had been leased by the City from Maple Island prior to its sale. I was directed to negotiate an agreement for the exchange, however, negotiations were finally concluded by the City Council accepting the language requested by Stefan for the lease, a copy of the Memorandum authorizing the negotiation is attached as Exhibit "C." Using the net price paid for the 20 ft. strip, the City would have given up for the 20 ft. strip $2,047 in value in 1991. Further, that value should be reduced somewhat by the limited public use the City has had of the site. Also, Mainstream still owns approximately half of the 20 ft. strip that could be reconveyed to the City in kind and they propose to repay only that amount attributed to what was sold to others. Further, the 20 ft. strip, represents an area between the buildings and the west line of Lake Street. The area is encumbered with buried Northern States Power Transmission lines, gas lines, and other utilities. Its use has been, and will remain to be, yard space, since the only thing that could be put over the top of this area without relocating utilities, is driveways or parking lots. My suggestion is that the Council give direction to pursue one of several options. 1. First, continue finalizing the agreement for dedication to the City of public restrooms that will be built and constructed by Mainstream. 3 Inm , 2. Entertain further consideration of Mainstream's offer to rescind the trade made for the parking rights. This would involve further valuing the 20 ft. strip based upon today's values and estimating its present value. 3. Consider asking for a cash dedication that the developer would make toward a fund established for the purpose for the future construction of restrooms in the Downtown. This might involve developing a rationale for requiring that sort of dedication in the future would address the shortage of public restrooms in the CB-District. 4. Continue work on some right of the City to require the opening of the restrooms in the new building for public use. Respectfully, 4 " I CERTIFICATE OF SURVEY GOVT.

The redevelopment strategy for the plant is to subdivide the building into four (4) lots (three with building and one parking) and to sell two of the four lots to other entities for development (Phase I). The remaining lot (building) would be redeveloped at some time in the future (Phase II). In order to accommodate the initial sale of Lots 1, 2 and 3, a 20 foot strip of land the city owns on the west side of Water Street must be incorporated into the subdivision. This 20 foot strip was purchased as a part of the Burlington Northern land purchase in 1991 for purposes of assisting with the redevelopment of the Maple Island Plant. It is recommended that the city trade the 'strip of land to the developer for public use of the 46 car parking lot (old Maple Island Plant lot directly south of Mulberry Street) when the lot is not needed or used by Phase I businesses. When Phase II proceeds, the city . can then determine what it will do with the remainder of the 20 foot strip of land. \ \ . --- ! The developer's are interested in finding a grocery store for the Phase II site. Recommendation: Direct staff to prepare an agreement to trade with the developer's the entire 20 foot city strip of land for use of parking lot use when not needed by the project.

Magnuson, Stillwater City Attorney 1Jf~ January 6, 1997 DATE: RE: Negotiations with the Main Stream Development Partnership with regard to the Maple Island Site When the City Council approved the transfer of a 20 foot strip of land adjacent to the Maple Island Site to the Main Stream Development Partnership, Main Stream Partnership agreed in return to grant a parking easement to the City over the parking lot on the North end of the site, South of Mulberry between Main and Water. I began the negotiations with Karl Ranum by proposing an easement that was identical to the parking lot agreement that had been in place between the City and Maple Island when the City resurfaced the parking lot several years ago. This language has not been acceptable to Main Stream and Ranum has told me that Vem Steffan is asking for different conditions. The terms of the prior lease and the easement language that I suggested for City use of the lot is as follows: " 1. Exclusive oossession of oarking area. City shall have exclusive use of the North row of parking spaces at all times and exclusive use of the remainder of the spaces ("the remainder area") between the hours of 6:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. Monday through Friday and at all times on Saturday and Sunday and any National Holiday." The language that Ranum asks for is as follows: "1. Non-exclusive use of parking area. City shall have non-exclusive use of the parking spaces located in the improved surface parking lot and the parking area between the hours of 6:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. Monday through Friday between the hours of 6:00 p.m. Saturday until 8:00 a.m. Sunday, after 3:30 p.m. on Sunday until 5:00 a.m. on Monday and any National Holiday." ExnmIT "C" \ January 6, 1997 Page 2 I leave it to you whether we should let the City Council decide this. I have prepared a deed for conveyance of the City's 20 foot strip, but I have not asked the Mayor and Clerk to sign it and so the City has not made the conveyance. I'm not sure what sort of hurry Main Stream might be in with regard to the project. Keep me informed. DTM/ds Attachment Memorandum February 29,2008 From: Shawn Sanders, Director of Public Works RE: Downtown Bathroom Operating Costs Staff has been asked to estimate the cost of maintaining and operating a bathroom at the Mainstream Development Site on North Main Street. The new bathroom would simply be added to list of bathrooms we already maintain in the City (Pioneer Park, Lowell Park and Teddy Bear Park, etc.) These are bathrooms are maintained by both seasonal employees in the summer and permanent employees the remaining time. For this estimate it was figured that the bathrooms would be checked and cleaned twice daily from April to October and checked and cleaned once a day from October to April. The estimated annual cost for the new bathroom $29,000, which includes materials and utility costs. The estimate does not include any cost for repair or replacement of damaged fixtures. '~ STATE OF MINNESOTA CITY OF STILLWATER COUNTY OF WASHINGTON BEFORE THE CITY COUNCIL In Re: The Application of US Home Corporation Case No. 08---03 FINDINGS OF FACT CONCLUSIONS AND ORDER The City Council convened a Public Hearing at approximately 7:00 p.m. on February 4, 2008 at the Council Chambers in City Hall on the Application of US Home Corporation ("Applicant") for approval of a minor amendment to their Settler's Glen Planned Unit Development (PUD) to allow a different house style on Lot 1, Block 2, Settler's Glen 8th Addition than was approved with the Final PUD pursuant to Resolution No. 2005-170. At the Hearing, the City Council considered the Planning Commission recommendation and the Staff Report prepared by City Staff for the Application, which included the documents referenced on Exhibit "A". NOW, THEREFORE, based upon the documents that have been made a part of this file, upon the testimony of all those who offered it, and upon all the files, records and proceedings herein, the City Council makes the following: FINDINGS OF FACT 1. The Site is legally described as Lot 1, Block 2, Settler's Glen 8th Addition. The property has been assigned a property identification number of 19.030.20.43.0041 by Washington County. 2. The Site is located within the Settler's Glen neighborhood. The neighborhood is being developed by the Applicant pursuant to a Concept PUD permit approved by the City of Stillwater in 2000. Since that date each phase of the development has been approved , individually pursuant to the terms and conditions of final plat resolutions and development agreements. 3. The Site is located within Settler's Glen 8th Addition, which was approved by the City Council on August 2, 2005 pursuant to Resolution 2005-170. The development agreement for Settler's Glen 8th Addition referenced the conditions of approval contained within Resolution 2005-170. 4. One of the concerns associated with development of Settler's Glen 8th Addition was that the subject lot juts out into the nature preserve area along Brown's Creek. Consequently any home on this lot would have an impact upon the views of and views from the nature preserve. In addition it would have an impact on the experience of hikers using the abutting nature preserve trails. To minimize these impacts, the design of the home on the Site (referred to in Resolution 2005-170 as Lot 13, but subsequently identified in the final plat as Lot 1, Block 2, Settler's Glen 8th Addition) was limited to a onestory design. This limitation was specifically stated in Condition 1 of Resolution 2005-170 and referenced in the development agreement for Settler's Glen 8th Addition. 5. The Applicant no longer builds the one story home in the Stillwater area market. Therefore, the Applicant requested consideration of an amendment to the Planned Unit Development permit, Resolution 2005-170 and development agreement to allow a different home design than was required by Condition 1 of Resolution 2005-170. 6. The two story house requested by the Applicant will have a greater massing presence on the trail as well as on views of and from the nature preserve than the one story house approved for the Site. - 2 - ". ; 7. One of the trails in the nature preserve follows along both sides of the Site that jut out into the preserve area. The massing of the two story house would dominate the view of a trail user as the trail follows around the home. The one story home that was approved for the Site would not have the same magnitude of visual dominance. 8. On January 14,2008 the Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider the requested amendment, at which hearing it was acknowledged that the requested two story house design would have a greater massing impact upon the abutting nature preserve area. CONCLUSION OF LAW 1. That this matter was properly before the City Council pursuant to the procedure set forth in the City Code. 2. That based upon the findings, the proposed Planned Unit Development amendment will be a detriment to the natural setting of the adjacent property, will frustrate the purpose of a major element of the Planned Unit Development permit, and violate the spirit of the Comprehensive Plan's vision for the Brown's Creek Nature Preserve Area.

Ward, Clerk TO: Mayor & Councilmembers FROM: Bill Turnblad, Community Development Director~ DATE: February 26, 2008 RE: Refinement of 2008 Comprehensive Plan Goals & Policies BACKGROUND A draft set of goals and policies for the 2008 Comprehensive Plan update was presented to the City Council on November 8, 2007 at a joint meeting with the Planning Commission, Heritage Preservation Commission and Park & Recreation Commission. The City Council made it clear at the meeting that they would like to see fewer goals and policies. Moreover, those that are kept should be made as flexible as practical. At their December 4, 2007 meeting the City Council gave direction to city staff to establish two sub-committees - one from the Downtown Steering Committee and the other from the General Plan Steering Committee. The sub-committees would review each of the 2008 draft goals and policies for their respective areas of the Comprehensive Plan and make recommendations on refining them. · The general plan sub-committee consisted of Adam Nyberg, Terry Zoller, Dave Junker and Gail Pundsack. · The downtown plan sub-committee consisted of Rob Gag, Rob McGarry, Suzanne Block and Jennifer Severson. The sub-committees met numerous times in January and February to review in detail each of the goals, objectives, policies and programs. Their recommendations were forwarded to the respective whole committees for additional comments. Then Councilmembers Milbrandt and Gag met with city staff to review in detail the sub-committee recommendations. The end result of that work is presented in the attached sets of recommendations. GENERAL COMMENTS The number of items included in the 1995 Comp Plan is compared below to the number recommended for inclusion in the 2008 update. Refinement of Goals February 26, 2008 Page 2 of3 Parks, Trails, Riverfront Natural Resources & Open S aces Historic Resources Public Facilities Trans ortation Housin Land Use Local Econom 22 5 4 2 18 6 12 12 81 Each chapter of the updated plan would have 3 to 6 goals and the total number of goals would remain about the same as I n1995. The number of policies would be reduced from 123 to 80, but more importantly many policies were revised to be more flexible (i.e. less binding). The number of programs was reduced by about 30%. The sub-committees used the following definitions for categorizing the various statements. GOAL: A general end toward which effort is directed. [Definition from Merriam Webster] OBJECTIVE: A more specific end toward which effort is directed. POLICY: A specific statement of guiding actions that express the general direction the City intends to follow in order to meet its goals. [Definition from the Metropolitan Council]. PROGRAM: A specific means of implementing an objective or policy DISCUSSION OF SPECIFIC GOALS. ETC. Through the refinement process the various committees and sub-committees identified twelve items that were judged to need specific consideration by the City Council, six of them related to the housing chapter. Those items are: 1. Parks, Trails & Riverfront Chapter Program (3) Investigate the need, potential site and feasibility for a dog park. 2. Historic Resources Chapter Program (4) The City shall develop a building renovation grant or loan program to assist in the rehabilitation and restoration of historic properties. 3. Transportation Chapter Program (3) Extend Neal Avenue from Boutwell to County Road 12 and intersect County Road 12 at an appropriate location. Design any intersection at County Road 12 to encourage through traffic to use Minor Arterial streets rather than collector or local streets. 4. Housing Chapter - Special Needs Section Objective: Encourage housing Downtown and within walking distance of Downtown to provide a critical mass of residents to support a mix of community and destination commercial. Refinement of Goals February 26,2008 Page 3 of3 5. Housing Chapter - New Residential Development Section Policy 7: The city shall seek cooperation from local lending institution for financing improvements to older structures. 6. Housing Chapter - New Residential Development Section Program (1) Identify revenue sources for neighborhood housing rehabilitation programs to maintain the supply of affordable housing in good condition. 7. Housing Chapter - New Residential Development Section Program (3) Consider establishing a housing presale code inspection program. 8. Housing Chapter - New Residential Development Section Program (4) Consider establishing a low interest loan housing rehabilitation program for very low and low income homeowners. 9. Housing Chapter - New Residential Development Section Program (5) Work with local lenders, Washington County HRA, MNHF A and other housing agencies to provide a comprehensive housing assistance strategy for households needing assistance. 10. Local Economy Chapter - Economic Development Sites Program (2) Promote downtown as a relocation destination for successful businesses 11. Land Use Chapter Goal 4. Continue establishing the greenbelt in the western and northern portions of the City. 12. Land Use Chapter Program (3) Develop a buffering plan that identifies the City's various buffering needs and provides examples of the types of buffering that could meet those needs. REQUEST Staff requests the Council to comment on whether the twelve individual items listed above should be kept as recommended, revised, or deleted. A ttachments: Recommendations 2008 Comprehensive Plan Update Refinement of Goals and Policies 1 Recommendations related to Parks, Trails, and Riverfront Goal Refinement Sub-Committees The goals, objectives, policies and programs listed below are a refined compilation of the items found in the 1995 Comprehensive Plan as well as area plans officially adopted by the Council since then. In addition several new items have been added through the neighborhood visioning sessions that occurred this past fall and early winter. The General Plan and the Downtown Plan goal refinement sub-committees have reviewed all of these items and edited them to: 1) delete redundancies; 2) delete items that have been completed and that do not need to be included in the 2008 Comprehensive Plan update; 3) modify items that have been partially completed, or that for one reason or another merit modification; and 4) make action statements more flexible wherever applicable. In addition, the' entire General Plan Committee and the entire Downtown Plan Committee have reviewed these edits.1 The number of resulting items is less than what was included in the 1995 Comprehensive Plan. Goals Policies Pro rams 1995 Com Plan 5 28 33 2008 u Ian Parks, Trails & Riverfront Goals Goal 1 : Provide a variety of passive and active parks and other leisure, recreational and cultural opportunities that are conveniently located, accessible, affordable, safe, physically attractive and uncrowded for all Stillwater residents.

On February 20, I contacted Mr. Pedginski to schedule his orientation. At that time, he told me that he no longer wished to serve on the Library Board and had agreed to another volunteer post that would require a lot of travel. The Board of Trustees would now like to recommend Michele Cassavante for appointment. She is also a very good candidate and would bring good skills to the Board. ater H F Of M'NNfSll'A.

Post Office Box 843 Lakeland, MN 55043 651-439-1800 stillwaterballoons@comcast.net ~~, Dear neighbors, We recently acquired Stillwater Balloons. The business has been located in the Lower St. Croix River Valley for 34 years and has maintained, during this time period, the same launch site in Lakeland, MN. It has been owned and operated by a single family for all of this time, but, due to devastating personal losses, they passed the business to me. I have served as their pilot for the previous 18 years and have a commitment to the maintenance of a community-oriented, family run business with Christian values. We are deeply rooted in the community and would like to stay as close as is possible, creating a home that will last another thirty years and beyond. Personally, I love hot air ballooning. It seems to be one of the few things in which I am involved that creates incredible awe and joy. People stop what they are doing. Kids run and wave and dance, grandparents pull up a lawn chair, and neighbors stand and chat. Tourists enter our community to find quiet joy and entertainment and are never disappointed in the beauty that they encounter. My family has lived in Lakeland for four generations and remembers the days when all was farmland. It was wonderful then, and it still calls to us as home. Creating an enduring and beneficial business for our family and our neighbors is our great desire. We are, even if my grandmother wOl,Jld never approve of the use of such a statement, seeking cminvitation,Jtis our !1ope to find a community thatwoLlld embrace the sport arhot air ballooning with all of it's benefits and struggles. . The struggles are f~w but important to note, Land needed is the first, butwe will discuss that momentarily. The largest struggle for the public i.s noise related. Hot air balloons are inflated using three or four five horse power fans and then a. burner. The websites that we sought out stated that the decibel level for hot air balloons is between 88 and 107. With our cheap little decibel meter we obtained a reading of just over 90 decibels - which is about the equivalent of a push mower. Our flights, due to greatest wec;ither stability and thus safety, launch two hours prior to sunset and at sunrise. Our sunrise flights are the ones that incur the greatest fears. There is twenty minutes of noise roughly the equivalent of a lawn mower at sunrise. Light sleepers are not impressed with this prospect. The benefits, however, are numerous and begin with incredible limitations to this noise. Due to the weather dependency of the venture we cancel over 75% of our flights. Last year we flew just over 50 flights. In a seven month season (April through October) we flew about eight times a month, less than half of those flights occurring in the mornings (as we do not even schedule most mornings due to conflicts for our passengers). Therefore, our neighbors are exposed to approximately three morning flights per month. (The evening noise tends to be a non issue as this is the normal time for people to be active throughout the community mowing, leaf blowing, boating, and making happy noises all about.) The noiseisJurther hampered by its duration and . quality. It ta~es ,15 to 20 rniflutesto fin~nd launch a balloon; After this time, the balloon ar)dit'scustomers have lefl]he premises (though there is thirty minutes. or so prior to inflatio~ wh.ereCl,Jstom~rs. ~me~~ in an? watch the.balloon be laid out and readie~). The fans.nolse IS constant, Immqplle, and IS more easily tuned out as opposed to vanable .... , ", traffic noise or to a mower that makes dozens of passes, hits earth, sprays rocks, etc. The burner noise lasts but a couple of minutes and takes the balloon away from the launch site. Indeed, over the last couple of decades, the city of Lakeland has received no noise complaints in regards to our business and some of our most vocal supporters are those who live nearby and are most heavily impacted. Thus, though the thought of the noise seems unsettling, the reality of the sport is that it is incredibly low impact: manageable, short-lived noise occurring on less than one in four days with early morning noise occurring an average of less than once a week. Ballooning also tends to create a sense of community pride and enjoyment especially when paired with openness. This is the type of atmosphere that we would like to produce: one where neighbors are welcome and can bring their kids to ask a million questions, grab a picnic, or simply stretch out on the grass and enjoy the moment, one where the community itself is actively promoted, where signs point the way to the launch, where local eateries, hotels, and area attractions are advertised in the information we provide to our customers, where coupons draw neighbors out to pick up snacks on their way to the launch or a drink following, one where the thousand or so customers that partake in our launches every year find a welcoming community that they hurry to re-explore. We love this community, and we would love to share all that it is with our customers and offer something filled with joy and wonder back to our neighbors. So, about the invitation... Community leaders know best what will be welcome as well as what is potentially available. We do not want to spend a lot of time pressing issues that simply will not be accepted and do not want to create for ourselves the reputation of a business that would presumptively press undesirable options. Ballooning needs little in the way of consistently used property but much in the way of a specific piece of land with a smooth clearing and at least some barrier to the wind (tree lines and buildings work fine). Considering our deep desire to remain in this area, we have but a few options. We could purchase of a large, beautiful tract of land in a business district; we could purchase a tract of land that is used as a hobby farm or the like from which the city and neighbors would agree to allow our balloons to launch; we could partner with a local business that would benefit by our presence, or we could utilize an area park. Ballooning is not a high revenue industry and simply could not take the financial burden of purchasing a large commercial property - especially since it would sit vacant the vast majority of the time. We could purchase a hobby farm or home site with a large yard if we were to be well assured that such an endeavor would be welcome - the cost of this could be tempered by renting out the home and by the fact that residential property is considerably less expensive. Few local businesses have adequate green space for launch but we would love help contacting those that may be both a possibility from the city's view and that may find our presence welcome. Finally, city land and parks have been used in this area (and many others) as a service to the balloonists, the tourists to whom they attend, and to the communities themselves. It is our hope that we will find ourselves permanently settled and energetically working with a community as our season begins this summer. If you would like to extend an invitation or an idea - it would certainly be welcome. Thank you so very much for your time and consideration.

In support of the City of Stillwater's Resolution 2007-202 this resolution reiterates the same concerns as presented in 2007-202 opposing delay in the construction of a much needed bridge in Washington County across the S1. Croix River. The City of Lake S1.

The new bridge located close to the Xcel Energy smokestack will not add to visual pollution as the Sierra Club lawsuit claims; and WHEREAS, the Stillwater Lift Bridge was first designated for replacement nearly 59 years ago, during the Truman Administration; and WHEREAS, the Stillwater Lift Bridge NOW services an average of 18,000 vehicles per day and easily double that amount during special events in the St. Croix River Valley, yet it has been labeled as inadequate and unsafe for the traffic it bore in 1951; and WHEREAS, the Environment Impact Statement states, "... problems with the safety and congestion have been documented for many years and they continue to grow worse as traffic volumes increase;" and ~ WHEREAS, the Stillwater Lift Bridge creates a safety hazard for the 18,000 motorists from both Minnesota and Wisconsin; and WHEREAS, traffic back-up is so severe that hundreds of vehicles are backed up for blocks along both sides of the St. Croix River, with motors idling, waiting to cross the river thereby, adding to pollution levels. These levels have engineering studies that demonstrate, carbon and fumes from idling motors cause deterioration to old historic buildings located in Washington County; and FURTHER, no bridge in the history of the State of Minnesota is needed more, has been approved by 58 units of government, has had more than ten years of study under the Federal Environmental Impact Statement process, and then conducted two years of formal negotiation in which every participant signed an agreement at the outset to support the final conclusion of the 28-member committee. Every member, some with deep concems, through compromise and negotiation resolved their differences and kept their promise and should continue to do so. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of Lake St. Croix Beach opposes delay in the construction of the Minnesota-Wisconsin Interstate Bridge to be located in Washington County and further directs the City Clerk of Lake St. Croix Beach to transmit a copy of the Resolution to the Governor of the State of Minnesota, the Majority and Minority Leaders of the Minnesota Senate, the Speaker and the Minority Leader of the MN House of Representatives and the Legislators representing the City in the Minnesota State Legislature, Senator Kathy Saltzman, Representative Julie Bunn and Minnesota and Wisconsin Federal Representatives and The City of Stillwater local government officials.

Magnuson DATE: February 29, 2008 RE: Vem Stefan Restroom Update At the suggestion of a City Councilmember, we asked Vem Stefan to make a proposal to the City that he purchase from the City the value of the parking rights that will be lost if the parking easement is vacated. He approached the analysis by two methods. In the first method, he estimated the cost of constructing a stall in a surface lot, based upon the Water Street lot construction at $3,000 per stall. The rights in the City parking lot that are proposed to be vacated, were not full time rights, but only exercisable after 5 pm on the weekdays and weekends, or approximately halftime. He assumed halftime use, the valued per stall at $1,500 per stall, times the 17 stalls, or $25,500. He also estimated the cost of the toilet construction at $125 per sq. ft. Based upon 200 sq. ft. of proposed toilet space, a value of $25,000 is yielded. He therefore made an offer to pay the City $25,000 for the value of the parking rights that will be vacated with the condition that the funds be held by the City for the construction of public restrooms in the CBD.
