MEMORANDUM
TO:
Mayor and City Council
Steve Russell, Community Development Director ~
FR:
DA:
May 31,1996
RE:
UPDATE ON PURCHASE OF OLD TERRITORIAL PRISON FROM MAPLE
ISLAND
Since being directed at the May 21,1996, Council Meeting to meet with representatives
from Maple Island, Inc. (Mil), and the hotel developer, Territorial Coalition, Inc. (TCI),
staff has met twice with the groups. As a result of the meetings, the following terms for
purchase of the prison property have been agreed upon.
Currently, the Territorial Coalition has a purchase agreement with Maple Island to
purchase the prison site for $850,000 plus half of the special assessments on the
property not exceeding $20,000. The contract also requires the seller to pay $5,000
toward environmental report costs. The purchaser has made a $25,000 earnest money
deposit toward the purchase price. Holding costs to Maple Island are an additional
consideration to the purchase price.
The following terms of purchase have been conceptually agreed to by Maple Island and
the Territorial Coalition:
1.
)
Territorial Coalition will assign its purchase agreemen~with Maple Island to the
City of Stillwater.
City of Stillwater will pay $850,000 plus one-half of sp~cial assessments totalling
f
not more than $20,000 ($870,000 total maximum purchase price).
2.
3. City will use earnest money deposit by TCI in the amount of $25,000 to defray
costs of purchase to $825,000, plus assessment.
4. City will allow TCI exclusive right to develop the property by securing its
financing and repurchasing the property from the City. TCI will have until
December 31, 1996, to secure its financing for the project and to close on the
purchase of a portion of the site for the hotel development (City will retain wall
and areas above and adjacent to the wall).
5.
If TCI does not close or secure financing by December 31, 1996, the City will
reimburse TCI $25,000 for earnest money deposit and $5,000 for environmental
reporting and land SUNeY costs.
t
e
.
.
..
6.
The City will sell the hotel portion of the site to TCI for $825,000 plus special
assessments paid by the City. The amount will be due and payable 10 years
after closing (estimated at January 2007).
7. To address carrying costs TCI will pay for asbestos removal (estimated at
$26,000) rather than be the responsibility of Mil, as in current purchase
agreement.
8. The City purchase of the prison site from Mil will close July 17, 1996, with
$250,000 ($225,000 plus special assessments) due and payable at that date and
the remaining $600,000 due September 22, 1996, (one date after proposed
closing date for UBC site). The City will enter into a note for $600,000 with MIl.
The note will be payable on September 22 or renegotiated for a later date if UBC
doesn't close.
Issues to consider with purchase.
. The City will have carrying costs for hotel property after closing, July 1996 to
December 1996. Maple Island estimates cost to be $4,000 - $7,700 per month.
(These could be off set somewhat by rental of the site to the bus company).
. The UBC sale is set to close September 21 at the discretion of the purchaser. If the
deal does not go through, the City would have to find another source of funds for the
UBC purchase amount ($600,000).
. A development agreement needs to be entered into with TCI to describe the various
conditions of City assistance such as City use of parking,~aelineation of City owned
park land, obtaining MNDOT easement to wayside or its ~elocation.
!
. Responsibility for wall repair and drainage improvementsl special TIF assistance
land. It is recommended that a development agreement with terms of development
and City assistance be prepared before the City formally makes an offer to the
prison site.
. City planning review of project. The project will require a special use permit and
design review. Although the Heritage Preservation Commission (HPC) assisted and
had input into the development of the prison renovation plans, the project has not
received City Planning Commission and HPCapproval.
Recommendation:
Based on the above terms of the purchase, it is recommend that the Council direct the
preparation of a development agreement between TCI and the City before purchasing
the prison property from Mil (an offer could be made to Mil subject to acceptable
development agreement).

1033 ~est Sycamore Street
Dear Mayor and City Council Members!
In reference to the above lot, we are requesting t~at the
interest accruing on the bonds for the watermain ani sec charge
be stopped. According to our records, the bonds have been paid.
If this interest continues to accrue and we decide to sell
the lot in, say, 10 years, the watermain and sac cfArge would be
excessive and a deterrent to a prospective purcrAser of that lot.
For now, the lot is vacant, benefiting tbe nei~tborhood with
much appreciated open space.
When this w4tter is discussed, we would like tre opportunity
to be present to d.iscuss it with you.
Thank you very much for your consideration of ttis request.
Very truly yours,

MEMORANDUM
e
TO: Mayor and City Council ~~
FROM: Diane Deblon, Finance Director
DATE: May 10, 1996
SUBJECT: sac Charges
As part of the fiscal impact analysis for the annexation area prepared by T autges & Redpath last
fall, the SOC charges are projected to continue and increase annually, by the rate of inflation.
(see attached page)
Although the bonds were paid off in full in 1995, staff recommends that the sac charges be
increased annually by the rate of inflation as projected in the fiscal impact analysis.
e
.',,":;-"
To the Honorable Mayor
and Members of the City Council
City of Stillwater
Page 25
Cost recovery charges have been proposed by SEH through a combination of the
following:
1. Area-wide assessments to residential and commerciallindustrial benefited
properties.
2. Sewer Oversizing Charges (SaC) at the same rate that is currently charged within
the Oak Glen Development ($527.32 per connection, increased annually by
inflation).
3. Source and Storage costs from the operations of the Water Enterprise Fund. The
Board of Water has suggested in a memo dated September 7, 1995 that the Water
Availability Charge (WAC) would be increased to approximately S400 for
connection within the expansion area.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
FR: Steve Russell, Community Development Director V
DA: May 30,1996
RE: COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ADOPTION BY METROPOLITAN COUNCIL
The Metropolitan Council at their meeting of May 23, 1996, adopted the City of
Stillwater Comprehensive Plan with the attached conditions. Conditions of note are
numbers 4 and 7 (see attached Metropolitan Council Action).
Number 4 requires that the city amend its on-site septic system management program
to incorporate a biennial inspection by July 23, 1996, with actual inspection beginning in
1997.
Condition Number 7 recommends that the city amend its (comprehensive) plan to
include the portions of any orderly annexation agreement dealing with phasing, timing
and yearly dwelling unit limitations.
The Metropolitan Council felt the city plan was complete as presented, represented a
good example of community cooperation that could be used as an example throughout
the metropolitan area.

SUMMARY OF COMMITTEE DISCUSSION:
Tom Caswell, Council stafl: presented the review and noted that Stillwater's forecasts are consistent with the Council's,
and that no regional system impacts are expected. He also noted that the city has a draft annexation agreement with
Stillwater Township which provide spcific timing, staging, and a expectation of the number of dwelling units to be

2. Inform the city of Stillwater that no plan modifications are required.
3. Recommend that the city expedite its efforts to eliminate known sources of inflow to the sanitary sewer system.
4. Inform the city that implementation of this plan is contingent upon the city's amendment of its on-site system
management program to incorporate a biennial inspection component (consistent with the Council's minimum
requiremalts) within sixty days of final Council action on this amendment, in accordance with city Resolution No.
96-70, dated March 19,1996.
5. Recommend to the city that it include a map and description of the new bridge and related improvements being
planned for TH 36.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
ISSUE: Should the Council inform the city of Stillwater that it may place its revised comprehensive plan into
effect?
POLICY IMPLICATIONS: The Regional Blueprint states that for development in unincorporated areas
where mban services such as wastewater treatmcDt is desired or required, orderly annexation is preferred in order
to provide those services.
FUNDING IMPLICATIONS: None
PREVIOUS ACfIONS: N/A
DISCUSSION: The city of Stillwater has submitted a revised comprehensive plan intended to guide the city's
growth through the year 2020. There is adequate capacity in the regional and local transportation system to
accommodate the development being proposed, and the plan (supplemented by a draft orderly annexation
agreement) provides detailed staging.
This plan replaces its 1980 version, and proposes annexation of 1,900 acres ofland from Stillwater township.
The supply of vacant and developable residential land within the city's current boundary are insufficient to
accommodate the growth being forecasted both by the city and the Council.
RECOMMENDATIONS: That the Metropolitan Council:
1. Adopt the findings and staff report as part of these recommendations.
2. Inform the city of Stillwater that no plan modifications are required.
3. Recommend that the city expedite its efforts to eliminate known somces of inflow to the sanitary sewer
system.
4. Inform the city that implementation of this plan is contingent upon the city's amendment of its on-site
system management program to incorporate a biennial inspection component (consistent with the Council's

being planned for TH 36.
6. Inform the city that traffic from the URPTA should not have an adverse impact on the metropolitan
highway system, nor does it represent a substantial departure from system plans.
7. Reconm1e'lId that the city amend its plan to include the portions of any orderly annexation agreement which

AGREEl\1ENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF STILLWATER
AND THE TOWN OF STILLWATER FOR GROWTH MANAGEMENT.
ORDERLY ANNEXATION AND THE EXERCISE OF JOINT POWERS
FOR PLANNING AND LAND USE CONTROL
THIS AGREEMENT is made this . day of , 1996, ("Effective
Date") between the City of Stillwater, Washington County, Minnesota ("City") and the Town
of Stillwater, Washington County, Minnesota ("Town") and is an agreement relating to
growth management and constitutes a "Joint Resolution" between the City and Town
authorized by Minnesota Statutes ~414.0325 providing for a procedure and a framework for
orderly annexation of a part of the Town to the City. This Agreement also provides for the
joint exercise by the City and Town of their respective planning and land use control
authority pursuant to Minn. Stat. 471.59 and Minn. Stat. 414.0325 (Subd. 5).
SECTION ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.01 Certain land owners within the Town have petitioned the City for annexation and for
the extension of municipal utilities. Since receiving the petition, the City has
undertaken a review of its Comprehensive Plan and has studied the ability of the City
to provide services to the area and has concluded that if the area requesting services is
developed into urban uses the City would ultimately be benefited by a broadened tax
base and a more vital community and that urban growth in the annexation area would
benefit the City. The Town has participated in a review of the City's Comprehensive
Plan and has concluded that it would be beneficial to the Town, and to property
owners remaining in the Town after annexation, to enter this Agreement with the City
so that the area to be annexed will be developed in an orderly fashion and with the
least possible impact on the people of the Town.
INTENT
1.02 The parties to this agreement intend it to be binding with all the rights, privileges,
and obligations attached thereto. Both parties intend to be bound by this agreement
and shall not violate its terms. Neither party shall exercise any legislative authority
either now existing or which may be later created in a way which violates the terms
of the agreement. Both parties understand that they may not limit the power of the
legislature over annexation, and such is not their intent. Instead, the parties agree to
refrain from exercising any legislative authority, now or into the future, in a way that
would violate the terms of this agreement.

INCLUSION INTO COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
e
1.03 Within sixty (60) days of the City's adoption of this Joint Resolution, the City shall
adopt and forward to the Metropolitan Council a Comprehensive Plan Amendment
incorporating the Orderly Annexation Agreement into the City's Comprehensive Plan.
SECTION TWO
ORDERLY ANNEXATION AREA
2.01 The property described in Exhibit IIA n that is subject to annexation by the City
pursuant to this Agreement will constitute the II Orderly Annexation Area II. This area
includes all that area of the Town not now within the City that lies North of Highway
36, East of County Road 15 and South of Highway 96, except for that portion of the
Town that lies North of the right-of-way of the Minnesota Zephyr Track and East of
the Oak Glen development. The Orderly Annexation Area is designated as in need of
orderly annexation and no consideration by the Minnesota Municipal Board is
necessary, no alteration of the boundaries is appropriate, and all conditions of
annexation have been provided for in this Resolution and the Minnesota Municipal
Board may review and comment only and within thirty (30) days of receipt of this
Resolution and each subsequent phase as described in this Agreement upon the filing
of a Resolution as described in this Agreement.
SECTION THREE
PHASING SCHEDULE
3.01 The Town and City agree that phasing the growth envisioned for the annexation area
would benefit the City by reducing the [mandaI risk of extending core facilities into
the Orderly Annexation Area by extending such facilities gradually rather than at one
time. This would also allow for the burden imposed by the growth to be gradually
born by the City so that the level of services needed by the new development could be
supplied on a gradual and phased basis. The Town has agreed that a phased
development plan as envisioned by this Agreement would benefit the Town by
phasing the impact of lost tax base on the remaining Town government and easing
[mandaI and lifestyle burdens that an immediate annexation of the entire area would
impose on Town residents. For the purposes of this Agreement, the Orderly
Annexation Area will be divided into four (4) phases described as follows:
Phase I Description
3.02 Phase I contains that property described in Exhibit liB II, generally described as that
part of the Town that is South of County Road 12, East of County Road 15 and North
of Highway 36, except for the following property that will remain as Phase IV
property unless Annexation is requested by the property owner pursuant to Section
4.08 herein:

4.09 As an exception to the Phasing Schedule, the City may annex property not described
in Phases I, II or III by Resolution if the property is adjacent to the City, is petitioned
for by one hundred percent (100%) of the property owners within the area to be
annexed and if the resulting annexation will not create a level of growth that exceeds
the one hundred twenty (120) dwelling units per year limitation.

SECTION FIVE
COMMERCIAL AND OTHER DEVELOPMENT
Commercial Development within the Annexation Area will be limited to the 6.3 acres
of commercial property at the southeast quadrant of C.S.A.H. 12 and C.S.A.H. 15,
and the Bergman and Bradshaw property along Highway 36 between County Road 5
and County Road 15. These are the only properties designated for commercial use in
the City's Comprehensive Plan.
Within sixty (60) days of the City's adoption of this Joint Resolution, the City will
amend its Zoning Ordinance to include a separate zoning classification that will be
described as "Village Commercial Zoning" or "Neighborhood Commercial" with
separate guidelines, standards and design criteria designed to meld the 6.3 acre
commercial area into the rural setting of the adjacent residential property remaining in
the development and the Town as described in Exhibit "E".
Within sixty (60) days of the City's adoption of this Joint Resolution, the City will
amend its Zoning Ordinance to include a separate zoning classification for the
Bergman and Bradshaw properties to be known as the "Research and Development
District" that will have standards and criteria consistent with the classification
described in the Comprehensive Plan. The district will house office, light industrial
and service uses in a coordinated planned unit development campus setting.
Agriculture will continue to be a permitted use in the areas re-zoned pursuant to this
Section.
SECTION SIX
ASSESSMENT AND UTILITY POLICY
6.01 Concurrent with the adoption of this "Joint Resolution", the City Council will adopt
an assessment policy that will protect new City property owners who are neither
subdividing their property nor requesting municipal services from special assessments
and utility charges for sanitary sewer, storm sewer, . water and street upgrading. The
policy shall be as follows:
e
35667.01F
OS/23/96
a. Except as set forth in Section 6.04, no property will be assessed for sanitary
sewer or required to pay sanitary sewer hook-up or utility charges if the property is
not connected to public sanitary sewer.
b. Except as set forth in Section 6.04, no property will be assessed for municipal
water or required to pay water hook-up or utility charges if the property is not
connected to the municipal water system.
c. No property will be assessed for storm water improvements or required to pay
storm water hook-up or utility charges prior to subdivision of the property.
-5-
d. Any property which hooks-up to City sanitary sewer shall pay a hook-up
charge which will not exceed Twenty-Five Hundred Dollars ($2,500.00). The $2,500 e
limit shall be inclusive of all trunk or core facilities, laterals and other public costs
associated with the installation of and hook-up to the system.
e. Any property which hooks-up to City municipal water system shall pay a
hook-up charge which will not exceed Twenty-Five Hundred Dollars ($2,500.00).
The $2,500 limit shall be inclusive of all trunk or core facilities, laterals and other
public costs associated with the installation of and hook-up to the system.
f. Property which is not being subdivided will not be assessed for the cost of
street improvements necessitated by development occurring within the orderly
annexation area. However, if the street is substandard at the time of the
improvement, the property may be assessed an amount equal to the assessment that
would have been levied by the Town, if any, under the Town assessment policy in
effect prior to the annexation of Phase One. The property may be subject to
additional deferred assessments payable if and when the property is subdivided.
"Substandard" is determined by Township standards in effect prior to the annexation
of Phase I.
g. If a property hooks up to City sewer or water it will be charged for one hook-
up as per Section 6.01 d and e regardless of whether the property can be further
subdivided. Additional hook-up charges will be due at the time the property is
subdivided based upon the hook-up. charges in effect at that time.
6.02 Concurrent with the City's adoption of this "Joint Resolution", the City will adopt a
sanitary sewer and water hook-up policy which includes the following provisions
relating to property within the orderly annexation area:
a. Prior to subdivision of the property, no property owner will be required to
hook-up to the City's municipal water system.
b. Prior to subdivision of the property, no property owner will be required to
hook-up to the City's sanitary sewer system unless hook-up is mandated by State
Statute or Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) regulation and enforcement
action is initiated. A property owner will be permitted to upgrade or replace a failing
system in accordance with MPCA standards. The City ordinance will not impose
regulations that are more stringent than those required by the MPCA.
6.03 This section does not require the City, if requested to by a Property Owner, to extend
sanitary sewer service to property which has a failed on-site system if the extension is
not feasible or cost effective.
6.04 The benefits and limitations set forth in this Section do not apply nor are they for the
benefit of owners who subdivide their property. e
35667.01F
OS/23/96

e
6.05 The limitations in Sections 6.01 d and e will be annually adjusted commencing
January 1, 1997 based upon the Consumer Price Index for Urban Consumers (CP-U).
SECTION SEVEN
REAL ESTATE TAXATION
7.01 Rural Tax Rate Adiustment. It is recognized that there is a significant difference
between the City's municipal percent of tax capacity rate, which is approximately .35
percent for the calendar year 1996, and the Town's existing percent of tax capacity
rate of .17 percent and that to require property that is brought into the City against
the wishes of a property owner to pay the full municipal rate would be burdensome.
The City, therefore, will concurrent with the City's adoption of this " Joint
Resolution" amend, subject to the second reading required by City Charter, its Rural
Service Taxing District Ordinance to include:
a. A rural service district that will include only parcels that are not connected to
municipal sewer or water services.
b. A rural service tax rate that will be set at seventy-five percent (75%) of the
City Urban Service District rate.
c. Pursuant to Minn. Stat. 414.035, for parcels that have not requested
annexation, the initial rural service tax rate in the year of annexation will be Fifty
percent (50%) of the urban rate, with the percentage being increased five percent
(5%) each year to the seventy-five percent (75%) rural service rate.
7.02 Tax Rate Adjustment for Parcels Not Requesting Annexation. Pursuant to Minn.
Stat. 414.035, for parcels that have not requested annexation and do not qualify for
the rural service taxing district, the initial urban tax rate in the year of annexation will
be fifty percent (50%) of the urban rate, with the percentage being increased 10
percent (10%) each year for five (5) years to the full urban rate.
7.03 Tax Payment to Town. During the term of this Agreement, taxes received by the
City based upon the tax capacity generated from any area annexed in the year of
annexation will be paid over to the Town and thereafter the amount to be paid to the
Town will be reduced by twenty percent (20%) each year until the amount reaches
zero (0), when taxes based upon the full tax capacity will remain with the City. For
the purpose of this section, any increase in tax capacity over the tax capacity
generated in the year of annexation will remain with the City .
i"e
7.04 Year of Annexation. If the annexation becomes effective on or before August 1 of
any year, the City may levy on the annexed area beginning with that year. If the
annexation becomes effective after August 1 of any year, the Town may continue to
levy on the annexed area for that year, and the City may not levy in the annexed area
until the following year.

available for development into urban density residential uses in accordance with the
City's Comprehensive Plan. The area north of the railroad tracks and east of the Oak
Glen development and south of Highway 96 shall remain in the present conservency
zoning classification now in effect in the area. A zoning classification for the
Bergman farm that is the same as the City's Research and Development Zoning
District will be adopted in order to protect the area from development that would
prevent or frustrate the eventual urban development of the farm as an Urban Research
and Development Center.

shall designate a qualified neutral from the Minnesota Supreme Court Certified
Neutrals list to conduct Alternative Dispute Resolution ("ADR") in the form of
mediation/arbitration ("Med-Arb") or such other agreed upon ADR format. If
mediation fails, the Neutral will issue a recommended decision. The Joint
Board will adopt Findings of Fact and Decision consistent with the Neutral's
recommendation and supported by the administrative record developed by the
City and Joint Board. The Neutral shall base the recommended decision on
the City and Joint Board administrative record, any applicable provision of the
Orderly Annexation Agreement and legal principles which the Joint Board and
City are required to follow in determining the matter at issue.
h.
Development applications subject only to review and comment by the Joint
Board pursuant to Paragraph 8.04(e) herein shall be processed in the same
manner as all other development applications except as follows:

8.07 This Joint Powers Agreement shall terminate concurrently with the Orderly
Annexation Agreement on January 1, 2020, except as follows: As to the matters set e
forth in Section 8.04 (b), (c) and (d) herein, the Joint Powers Agreement shall remain
in effect so long as there are any Phase IV properties that are still entitled to the
protection of Sections Six and Seven herein, pursuant to Section 16.01 herein.
8.08 Concurrent with the City's adoption of this Joint Resolution, the City shall amend,
subject to the second reading required by City Charter, its zoning ordinance to
provide that property is zoned agricultural upon its initial inclusion into the City upon
annexation. The Agricultural zone shall not allow any non-agricultural commercial
use. The owner of any property proposed to be annexed pursuant to Section 4.09
which has an existing non-agricultural use shall agree to terminate the use as a
condition of annexation. Nothing herein precludes the City, subject to Joint Board
approval pursuant to Section 8.04 (b) herein, from rezoning the property to another
use at the time of or subsequent to its annexation.
SECTION NINE
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
9.01 The City agrees to develop Performance Standards for developers who work within
the Orderly Annexation Area. The standards will measure developer performance in
the areas of fmandal responsibility, protection of the environment during
construction, construction traffic management, compliance with established time tables
and responsiveness to citizen complaints. Each developer will be reviewed annually
for compliance with these standards and the City will develop a system to sanction
developers who fail to meet standards.
SECTION TEN
INCLUSION OF JOINT TASK FORCE RECOMMENDATIONS
10.01 To the extent feasible and permitted by law, the City agrees to include the
recommendations of the Joint City/Town Planning Task Force within the ordinances
and policies of the City. These recommendations are adopted and made a part of this
Agreement as Exhibit "F".
SECTION ELEVEN
ENVIRONMENTAL AND OPEN SPACE PRESERVATION
11.01 The City agrees that environmental assessment worksheets will be required at each
critical stage of any development review process as required by the Rules of the
Minnesota Environmental Quality Board. Further, the recommendations developed by
the Stillwater Area Open Space Committee will be implemented when feasible and the
guidelines for protection of open space and the environment within the Orderly -
Annexation Area will be followed when feasible or when permitted by law. The

easements or right-of-way acquisitions.
SECTION THIRTEEN
MAINTENANCE OF EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE WITHIN TOWN
13.01 The Town will continue to maintain streets and other public improvements in the
Annexation Area so long as they remain in the Town. If improvements are required
in this area which are not necessitated by growth in the City Annexation Areas, the
City will pay to the Town a portion of the cost of the improvement which extends the
useful life of the improvement beyond the time at which the street or other
improvements is projected to be annexed into the City. The City's portion of the cost
will be prorated based upon the following formula:
Useful Life After
Cost of Improvement x Projected Annexation Date = City's Share
Total Useful Life
13.02 If public improvements are required in the Orderly Annexation Area that remain in
the Town and are necessitated by the growth occurring in an area annexed pursuant to
this Agreement, the City shall pay the cost of the improvements, except for an
amount approximating the cost of maintaining (e.g~ patching, sealcoating, and
overlays) the street to a Township rural standard under the policy in effect prior to the
annexation of Phase One based upon average daily traffic that existed prior to Phase
One. This amount will be the Town's responsibility.
13.03 Road maintenance costs for the Orderly Annexation Area remaining in the Town will
be shared based upon the City assuming road maintenance cost increases over the
base year 1995. The amount of maintenance costs equal to the base year 1995,
annually adjusted by the appropriate construction cost index, will continue to be the
responsibility of the Town.

A likely reduction, but can not be used at the outset of the project.
Can use some of the contingency fund now (2 or 3%), and probably
much more by November, 1996.
We have requested an additional $300,000. from Congress in the
FY 1997 Appropriations bill. We will not know the results of our
request until early October, 1996.
Options available to the Council:
1. $1,178,600
Approve construction of Stage I A and the amenities only.
Postpone the Northern half of the levee work until additional
Federal fundsare allocated. City would contribute $7,000. to the
project under this option.

2. $1,667,335.
Approve construction of Stage 1 A & B without amenities, but
contribute about $350,000 of easement payments back to the
project. Unused portions of the Contingency Set-Aside or
anticipated additional engineering and design costs could be used
toward project amenities.
There is approximately $1 ,000,000 included in Stage II of the project for payments to
the City for lands and damages, thus reducing the City's 12% share of the project costs.
If additional funds are made available in the FY 1997 Appropriations bill for the
project, these funds can either be used for Stage 1 amenities, or toward the construction
of Stage II, the extension of the levee wall.
If Option 2 is the choice of the Council, the City needs to initiate action for an
appraisal of the affected property to determine additional funds that might be available
as the result of a potential lower appraisal value.

Subject: Stillwater Levee And Flood Control Project: Status and Financial Report
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers opened the bids for Stage I - A & B of the
Stillwater Levee and Flood Control on Thursday, May 23, 1996. The Corps is reviewing
the bids, the bonding of the bidders. and other procedures required before the final
contract is awarded. This process will require two to three weeks at which time the
contract will be awarded to the lowest bidder that meets all of the speCifications of the
published "Request for Bids." We still anticipate a start date of late June or early July
depending on the water levels in the river.
Four bids were received at the St. Paul District Office of the Corps, of which the
lowest bid was tendered by Lametti and Sons of Hugo, Minnesota. The Lametti bid was
$1,918,63 for Stage I - A & B, including the amenities for the project. Their offer is
$450,000 less than the estimated costs of Stage I projected by the Corps. Lametti and
Sons do a lot of work for the Corps, and it is anticipated that they will have no problems
in securing the bid as the low bidder.
The preliminary work for the project required the expenditure of a substantial part
of the appropriated funds. This work included the development of the Design
Memorandum, the Environmental Impact Statement, the plans and specifications, and
other actual and projected potential costs. It will make the completion of Stage I - A & B
a very tight financial situation with the remaining funds. There has been considerable
flexibility built into the bid request that will permit the maximum use of the funds
available.
e
Early on, we anticipated a portion of the local contribution would come from
reimbursement of lands that the City has purchased along the riverfront. However, most
of this was anticipated to come from the land purchased at the North end of the project,

in the Mulberry Point area. The Corps' appraisers determined that the value of the land
and damages for State I - A & 8 would be $393,000, in addition to lands provided by the
City in Phase II of the project. Since these costs were not anticipated for Stage I, it
increases the cost of the project by a like amount, but reduces the amount of work that
can be done in Stage I.
e
We have requested an additional $300,000 from Congress in the FY 1997
appropriation for Stage I, but we will not know the results of that request until the first
week of October of 1996. If the additional funds are provided in this year's
Congressional appropriation, we will be able to count most of the lands and damages as
a City contribution in Stage I, and still get Stage I completed. If not, either the amount of
work will have to reduced, or the City will need to contribute the full share of $400,000
for Stage I that we originally planned. There is budgeted an "in-kind" contribution of
about $1 million for Stage II of the project which will reduce the City's 12 1/2% share of
the total project considerably.
The attached budget for Stage I - A & B was provided by the Corps, and spells out in
some detail the costs of the project to date, and those projected costs for the first phase
of the levee repair and reconstruction. Please call me if you have questions, or would
like to discuss the financial status of the project further.

REQUEST FOR HANDICAPPED PARKING SPACE AT CORNER OF SECOND
AND COMMERCIAL
TO:
FR:
RE:
The Downtown Parking Commission at its meeting of May 23 considered the request
for a designated handicapped parking space at the corner of Commercial and Second
Street on Commercial in front of the West Publishing business.
After hearing a report from the Parking Enforcement Officer as how handicapped
parkers are informally handled, the commission felt it to be more appropriate to
formalize the handicapped parking enforcement policy rather then provide designated
handicapped parking spaces in addition to those already provided.
"the informal policy is that official handicapped parker can park in any
legal parking space for any amount of time"
It is recommended by the Commission that this informal practice be made "official" with
required ordinance change.
Recommendation
Direct amendment of parking ordinance to allow officially registered handicapped
vehicles to park in any legal space in the downtown for unlimited time.

RE:
Budget for Internet
DA:
May 30, 1996
Discussion:
The following is the budget for developing a City presence on the Internet:
Internet provider service
$30-120 mo ($360-1440 annual cost)
Internship program
$3000-4000 (one time charge)
Student job program
$1 000-1500 (one time charge)
The cost for this year to bring the City on-line and to develop the web page content and system
for maintaining the web page would range between approximately $4180 and $6220. The lower
end cost would be achieved if the City qualifies for a Business Partnership program with ISD
834. I am presently in discussion with school officials to obtain a partnership grant. I am
confident that the grant will be obtained and this would lower our cost by $1500 to $2000.
In regards to the internship program, the work would consist of the following:
e
1. Develop technical infrastructures (appropriate software, hardware, etc.).
2. Design content process.
3. Develop content architecture (working with content subcommittee).
4. Work with and teach city staff on maintaining system.
5. Research and advise City administration on choices for a common desktop software
system.
6. Design mechanisms for involvement of volunteers.
7. Train City staff person for continuation of system development/maintenance.
8. Develop a cost (and staff time) analysis for maintaining web site.
9. Set up appropriate E-mail accounts for City administration and work with
staff to set up E-mail procedures.
10. Work with staff to help develop content procedures.
11. Write web pages for the City.
The program could start as early as June 10th (i.e., after this school year) and would end about
August 20th (beginning of next school year).
I should point out that if the City is able to obtain a partnership grant, the City would actually
pay the School District for the work and they would, in turn, pay the individuals working on the
project.
e
In regards to the budget, I had budgeted for an administrative assistant position for 1996. This
position will not be filled until about July 1st. Therefore, at least 1/2 of the cost of this position
would be available to cover the Internet program (at least $20,000 available).
Recommendation: Approve Internet internship program and related work.

RE:
Water use permits
DA:
May 31, 1996
I previously discussed the request from the Washington County Sheriffs Office to establish a
permit process for the issuance of permits for water related activities. The Sheriffs department is
responsible for and has the authority to issue such permits. However, Sheriff Frank is trying to
establish a county wide public hearing procedure that would be conducted by the jurisdiction in
which the body of water is located. The purpose of the hearing process would be to allow the
jurisdiction and the residents to be informed of the proposed activity and to have input into the
issuance of the permit.
It would appear that the number of requests for permits within the City of Stillwater would be
very limited and would probably not number more than one a year (and probably not even that
often). Therefore, the City could establish a permit application process with minimal impact on
council and staff time. However, it would require amending the City code and the development
of a procedure for the hearings. The hearings would actually be conducted by Washington
County Sheriff personnel.
Recommendation:
Council consider establishing permit application process for water related activity.

MEMO
TO: City Council
FROM: Klayton Eckles, City Engineer
DATE: May 31, 1996
SUBJECT: Proposed Amendments to the Brown's Creek Watershed Management
Organization Joint Powers Agreement
DISCUSSION
Attached for council review is the proposed amendments to the Joint Powers Agreement for the
Brown's Creek WMO. The accompanying letter and memorandum summarizes some of the
significant changes to the JP A. The proposed changes not only meet those mandated by the
Board of Water and Soil Resources, but they also provide the WMO with many of the same
powers as the watershed district. These powers include taxing authority for planning and
administration, the creation of special taxing districts for capital improvements and, in rare
instances, the power of eminent domain.
The board is requesting that the cities and townships take action on the JP A as soon as possible.
It's possible that one or more communities may not agree with the proposed changes. If these
disagreements cannot be resolved, the WMO will be dissolved by the Board of Water and Soil
Resources. In its place a watershed district or some similar entity would be installed.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the council pass a resolution adopting a new Joint Powers Agreement to
protect and manage the Brown's Creek Watershed and authorize the mayor to sign the agreement
subject to approval of all other member communities.

RE: Proposed Amendments to the Browns Creek Watershed Management Organization Joint Powers
Agreement
Dear Council and Town Board Members:
Enclosed for your review and adoption, please fmd a copy of the proposed amendments to the Browns Creek
Watershed Management (WMO) Joint Powers Agreement approved by the Browns Creek Watershed Management
Board of Commissioners on May 15, 1996.
The proposed amendments include:
1. Provisions mandated by the Board of Water and Soil Resources in Minnesota Rules
8410.0030 and 8410.0040 (see enclosed memo);
2. Updated citations to current statutes and rules;
3. Editorial changes to correct outdated language and inconsistencies;
4. Provisions authorized by recent amendments to the Minnesota Statutes governing
joint powers management organizations, enhancing their powers to include taxing
authority and other authorities of watershed districts.
All amendments are indicated by underlined and strike-through language.
The Board of Commissioners believes all parties to the Joint Powers Agreement share a common vision of
conserving water and soil resources in the Browns Creek Watershed and managing those resources in the most
~effective means possible. This vision will best be accomplished by enhancing the powers of the Browns Creek
WWatershed Management Organization to allow it to manage water issues like a watershed district while
maintaining the local governmental control. The Board of Waters and Soil Resources has required the Browns
Creek Watershed Management Organization to take action by June 21, 1996 to affect a long term solution to
governing water management issues in the Browns Creek Watershed. It is for this reason that we
Baytown, Grant, May and Stillwater Township Supervisors

request each council and town board to act quickly to review and provide its comments regarding the proposed
amendments. The Watershed Management Organization asks that each community adopt or provide substantive
comments to the proposed joint powers agreement prior to the June 19, 1996 WMO board meeting.
Thank you. We look forward to working with you to reach a common goal of water management.
Sincerely,
Klayton Eckles, Chairman

Dear Mr. Staehlinq,
I am writing aftar our conVersot1on on the phone today. I h~ve
taxed copies of the two letters that I forwaraed to the
Stillwater Police Department regarding my complaint and
concern about the commercial kennel being operated at 717 So.
2nd Street in Stillwater. I was unable to attend a meeting
held with you and other members of the city Itaff held
yesterday. I was advised of the meeting in the afternoon on the
eeventh and could not adjust my work schedule for the one thirty
meeting.
You did explain to me that you were unaware of how many dogs
have been raised and are ~till being kept on the property next
door to me. I advised you that I hAd photographed the five
adult dogl that are currently on the property on May 7th in the
afternoon. I will forward copies of those photos 'and the one I
tOOk earlier after they are dev.loped. My intention for taking
the photographs was to provide lome sort of visual reference at
whatever sort of hearing the city arranges to give my family and
my neiqhbO~1 an Opportunity to have our concerns about this
ongoing pro~l.m heard. I am willing to provide information at
that type ot hearing and or prOVide testimony at a hearing if
one required to atop the process that 18 atill going on next
door to me. You did explain to me that you were unaware that
the resident. at that address still have five adult dogs on
their property. I provided a letter and complaint that there
were over 13 of them there for almost a year and five still
there. My concern continues to be that unless the city act. to
5top this commercial operation there will soon be untold
add1tionel numbers of puppies on the property. W. have already
lived through three generations being raised and sold trom this
location, and we do not want to have another gen.ration of
animals raised in these unsafe and unhealthy conditions next
door to us.

Dear Chief a.berg:
I am attaching a letter that was draf~.d to you in late April
regarding a residence at 717 So. 2nd Street in St.illwater. I
did not forward the letter until today. In the interim period I
did travQl to thQ poliee department and filQ a co~plaint with
your animal control officer regardinq the conditiona described
in my latter. I was contacted by Officer Miller regarding some
poa.ible actions he has r.qu.lted our neighbor. to take. Since
our original call in Qarly April some of the anima18 that were
raised on the property were moved or sold by the"owner$. Those
animals were the same onaa ! reporeed eo your staff ~hat wer.
raised and boarded on t.he t)ropert.y in quostion sinee last June
or &arlier. My neighbors reepond$d to the code w4~~ing$ they
received by covering their uneodded lot with chemicals of an
unknown natura. They a180 constructed a three lane kennel inside
of their small lot. I appreciate the actions that Officer
Millar has taken. I have not heard from your animal control
officer regarding my basic complaint about the kennel op.~4tion
that still exists next door to me. Officer Miller advised me
that a member of you staff had indioated that the exietinq
ordinancQ allowed up to three adult dogs to be kept without A
kennel permit Or hearing to allow a kennel, I asked him to
advise whichever MQmber of your department was desi9nated to
look into my complaint(8) that I had eontinued to observe at
least four adult dogs in the newly eonstructe~ commere1al kennel
area at different times. The dogs are difficult to tell apart
as they a~e all of th. same breed and tho konnel operators do
tak& some care to not let more than th:e. out at the 8ame time.
I also requested that the animal control officer co~tact, or
other person dealing with my complaint contact me. I have not
been contactQd yet.
I did ob.erve five adult dogs in the kennel are~ on Monday,
Apr1l29, 1996. I took << photograph of the animals while they
were outside. If need he I can provide copis3 of the photo when
I have it developed. I am also willing to provide testimony
regarding my complaint and observations at any hearing I~heduled
to review the commercial kennel operation. I believe that Bome
form of due process should Qe afforded to us since we are
aftected daily by this operation. We have lived at our current
addre88 for almost twenty years. It is very di~turbing to
consider that the value ot our property is being degrAded along
with our ability to use our property without some forum being

Dear Chief Seberg.
I Wish to make my COncerns regdrdLng ~ residence at 717 2nd St.
So. in Stillwater kno~n to you. The residents at this address
are next door neighbors. They have eondueted a business of
breeding, raising, and selling dogs for more than two Y.4rs.
Last year one of our neighbors met with .everal members of city
staff and the city attorn~y to attempt to enlist the aid of the
city in stopping what most of us who live nearby find offensive
and unhealthy. ~hose efforts Were unsuccessful. The
complainant, Mr. tacey, provided 'Copies of advertisements in dog
dealer publications by the residents at 717 South 2nd street
offering dogs for sale. One of the members of the 717 hou$ehold
has advised us that the dogs have been sold in ~arioUB places
around the country.
Laet week one of the more than ten dogs that were being kept on
this tiny lot escaped by jumping our fence and threatened
several people. The city animal Control officer was called and
did deal with the 1001. and threatening animal. It was returned
to the owners yard. I am curious if 4 dangerous dog letter was
issued. If one was not I believe that one should, as the
particUlar dog has bitten me, threatened members of my family
and ~i8itors to my home. The date that the dog escaped it
threatened I.veral people. My wife and several neighbors
reported this to the city animal COntrol officer who an.wered
the call.
My wife pointed out the other unhealthy and offeneLve
conditions that existed at that time to the animal cont~ol
officer. She was advised by the animal control officer that
nothing could b~ done about those issue. at that time. My
wife wanted to point out the fact that there were and are
literally hundreds of pounds of fecel matter fermenting on the
lurtace of a ~ery small lot in a residential neighborhood. This
condition fa very Cl0S9 to Our property line and i.
unavoidable. The stench trom this condition is unbearable and
unhealthy. The condition ha. been allowed to exist by the
city. My family has resided next to what I believe is a puppy
mill for several yearl. The conditions present are a health
threat to nearby residents. We are unable to be present on our
own property without the accompanying stench from the nearby
commercial kennel. I would like to have the property in
question checked by a member of the city police department and
or city statf. I also am requesting that if the citv '!ml=',1"!I.,..I1 1l

Ofticwr Miller did contact me and advise me that he had
forwarded a letter to oUr neighbors advising them that they
would be required to clean up the dog feees. He Also advised me
that there was 'ome confusion about the current ordInance. I
did review a December 5, 1996 amendment to the city 5nimal

a kenn$l and that kennels are not allowed in relidential

We only reCently attempted to secure aSsistance from City staff

The master plan project began
last fall with the analysis phase, a
topographical survey and an
archeological dig. . . ,
Portions of the foundation of the
Isaac Staples mansion are visible in
the center of the park. . ,
Staples was one ,of Stillwater's
lumber barons. He was part of a
partnership that constructed the
boom site near the Painted Rock
about two miles north of
Stillwater. He and Samuel F,
, Hersey built and operated a saw
mill here. Staples went on to build
a sma1l empire of banks. real estate,
logging camps, race horses. lumber
and flour mills. fanns. and stores.
He was known as a great civic

The mansion he built was. in its
time, the showplace of the valley.

RE: SUMMER 96 DOWNTOWN BUS SERVICE BETWEEN PUBLIC PARKING LOT
AND DOWNTOWN
At its meetings of May 10,12 and 29th, the Downtown Parking Commission (DTPC)
considered the idea of a summer bus circulator between the downtown parking lots to
make better use of the existing public parking spaces in the downtown. Parking is
scarce at times in the downtown and particularly this year with the loss of the River Lot
for the levee project.
Bus Circulator Concept
The idea discussed by the DTPC was to run a bus during peek parking times around
the downtown connecting underutilized parking lots. The route would run from the
North Main Lot to Second Street, Myrtle, Third (Riverview Lot and courthouse) to
Nelson, Water, Mulberry and back to North Main (see attached route map). It is
estimated that the route could be run every 20 minutes. The Commission, felt for a
start, the peek parking times are Monday through Friday, 3:30 pm to 9:30 pm and
Saturday, Sunday/Holidays, 11 am to 9:30 pm. This totals around 50 hours per week.
The Commission felt the service should run from May 15 to October 15 or five months.
To help the parking program work better, signage is needed to get visitors to the North
Main Lot and Riverview Lot. This could include intercepting motorists on Trunk
Highway 36 before they get to CR 15 and directing them via CR 15 and TH 96 to TH 95
and North Main Street parking areas. Better signage for people entering the city from
the south to North Main Street lot also is needed.
e
In response to discussions with David Paradeau, Minnesota Zephyr Trolley, Jim Kolb,
Valley Transit Land, Robert Raleigh, Stillwater Trolley, a proposal was received from
Robert Raleigh to provide the requested service. The proposal is attached. The
proposal includes two programs depending on contribution to capital expense (power
unit and trailer costing $112,000). The tram could accommodate 40 riders with
handicapped accessibility. A picture of the tram is included. To test the viability of the
service and to finance the capital facilities, a minimum three year commitment to the
service would be necessary.
1
'\
Method of Financing
e
Downtown businesses would benefit from such a service as well as the city. The cost
of providing one parking space in a parking structure is $7,000 - 10,000. It makes
economic sense to use the existing public spaces before constructing new spaces.
Committee members felt that the bus service would work and be another asset to the
downtown. Besides provide access to parking, shoppers could easily travel from north
to south along Main Street.
Potential funding sources include business contributions (to match a 50 percent city
challenge grant), advertising or sponsorship, hotel tax (needs further exploration),
parking district fees or ride fees.
Because of the timeliness of this program, the approaching summer season and
eminent levee project, the Downtown Parking Commission wanted to get the concept of
the circulator route to the City Council for review, comment and direction. If the concept
receives a favorable response, city staff and parking commission members should be
directed to find a method to finance the parking circulator program.
Recommendation
1. Review parking/circulator concept and provide DTPC and staff direction to develop a
financing plan.
2. Direct staff to apply to MnDOT for directional signage from TH 36 to DR 15 to TH 96
to North Main Street parking lots.

PROPOSAL FOR A STILLWATER TRAM SYSTEM
A Stillwater Tram System has been proposed to connect the downtown Stillwater
parking lots and move people through the downtown area.
This proposal is based on approximately a 50 hour a week schedule for 20
weeks from mid May through mid October. The tram would run 4 - 9:30 p.m.
Monday through Friday and 11 am - 9:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
The tram consists of a power unit which is wheel-chair accessible and meets
ADA regulations and a tram unit which together will seat about 42 passengers.
This tram route is 2.1 miles long and could be circulated 3 times/hour.
This proposal is based on a 3-year commitment between the City of Stillwater
the Stillwater Trolley Co.
The financial commitment from the city would consist of two options:
1) If the City contributes $57, 500 to the Stillwater Trolley Co., the annual cost
to the City would be approximately $79,471 for three years.
2) If the City contributes nothing, the annual cost to the City would be
approximately $100,782 for three years.
This service contract includes the tram unit, insurance, drivers, fuel, maintenance
and management.
There would also be a one-time management fee of $10,000 to the Stillwater
Trolley Co, to organize and implement the tram system.
Thank you for your consideration.

City of Stillwater Comprehensive
e Plan
December 12, 1995
Housing
I';;
The housing section d~IS with residential land
use. The primary focus 'on special housing needs
and problems that relate to housing conditions.
Stillwater is fortunate to have a good mix of
housing types attached and detached, tenure,
owner/renter and rent levels. The challenge for
Stillwater will be to maintain that housing and
household diversity over the planning period.
Key Goals
1. Provide a quality living environment for the
citizens of Stillwater by maintaining and
improving the city's existing housing stock and
by planning for a range of new housing
opportunities.
2. Provide a choice of housing types and
densities suitable to meet the needs of the
young, locally employed and elderly through
zoning and land use planning.
3. Use the land use map to designate residential
sites appropriately located for a range of
housing densities.
Objectives:
Maintain the city housing stock.
Provide housing opportunities for all economic
groups.
Provide a range of housing types and tenures.
e Locate multifamily and attached housing close to
, community services and public parks.
Housing Characteristics
Stillwater has an older housing stock. The median
age of Stillwater housing is 1950 with only 12
percent of the housing units built since 1980.
Fully 40 percent of the Stillwater housing stock
was built before 1940 with 70 percent of the North
Hill, South Hill, West Hill and Downtown area
constructed before 1940. The census figures
show Oak Glen as the newest construction area
for the 1980's, Croixwood for the 1970's and
Sunnyslope and Forest Hills in the 1960's.
Stillwater is typical of Washington County and the ' .
state with just over 50 percent of the population
living in the same household in 1985 as 1990. Of
those who moved into Stillwater from 1985 to
1990, 22 percent moved to Stillwater from other
parts of Washington County, 12 percent moved in
from other parts of Minnesota and 12 percent from
another state.
Overall, the census information points to the
strength of the family in Stillwater in terms of
number of people per household and housing
type.
According to the 1990 census, there were 5,105
households in Stillwater. The household were
distributed in the following categories:

Housing Conditions
Planning 1990 - 1992 period, a windshield survey
was conducted on the condition of housing. This
included every single family and multiple family
dwelling in Stillwater. The purpose of the survey
was to get an indication of the conditions of and
need for improvements to Stillwater's existing
housing stock. The following criteria was used as
a basis for the survey which was also used in the
. survey.
Good Condition:
No defects
No major repairs
Normal Condition:
No defects or only slight defects which
normally are corrected during the course of
regular maintenance.
Lack of paint
Slight damage to porch or steps
Slight wearing away of mortar between bricks
or masonry
Small cracks in walls, plaster or chimney.
Slight wear on floors, door sills, door frames,
window sills or window frames.
Broken gutters or downspouts.
Fair Condition:
Holes, open cracks, rotted, loose or missing
materials over a small area of the foundatio'n,
walls or roof.
Shaky or unsafe porch, steps or railings.
Some rotted or loose window frames or sashes
that are not longer rainproof or windproof. e
Broken or loose stair treads or broken, loose or
missing risers, balusters, or railings of outside
stairs.
Deep wear or door sills, door frames, outside
steps or floors.
Missing bricks or cracks in the chimney which
are not serious enough to be a fire hazard.
Makeshift chimney such as a stove pipe or other
uninsulated pipe leading directly from the stove
to the outside through a hole in the roof, wall or
window.
Poor Condition:
Endangers the health, safety and well-being of
occupants. One or more critical defects or
combination of intermediate defects in sufficient'"
number or extent to require considerable repair
or rebuilding; or is of inadequate original
construction. Critical defects result from
continued neglect or lack of repair or indicate
serious damage to the structure. Example of
critical defects are:
Holes, open cracks or rotted, loose or missing
material (clapboard siding, shingles, bricks,
concrete, tile, plaster or floor boards) over a
large area of the foundation, outside walls roof or
chimney.
Substantial sagging of floors, walls or roof.
Extensive damage by storm fire or flood.
Condition of structure was based on visual
appearance of the exterior of the structure.
Therefore, a structure that appears to be sound
from the outside may, upon further examination be
deteriorating inside. Likewise, a structure that
appears neglected from the outside may prove to
be sound on the inside.
Condition of structure may change dramatically if
e
6-2
the trend to restore older houses continues. In
the middle 1950's, many people chose to improve
their houses. This trend seems to be occurring
Alain in the early 1990's. Many houses that were
"'nSted as fair at the beginning of the survey have
since been improved.
Of the 3,742 structures surveyed, 64 percent were
in good condition, 28 percent were in normal
condition, 7 percent in fair condition and 1 percent
in poor condition. The study concludes that
approximately 300 structure are in need of minor
or major repairs. This compares to 200 structures
in 1980,
Good condition housing is important to community
character. The city would like to improve the
condition of its existing housing and enhance the
residential quality and character of Stillwater's
neighborhoods. Quality housing requires
adequate city facilities and services. The city can
support residential development only in those
areas where city facilities and services are viable
or will be provided by the development. The city
will extend utilities and services only into the most
viable expansion areas and will maintain
development fees at a sufficient level to finance
infrastructure cost.
Older neighborhoods should be maintained and
upgraded. To that end, the city will seek the
cooperation of the Washington County HRA and
lending institutions for financing structural
improvements and neighborhood investment.
The city will endeavor through the development
approval process to insure that Stillwater'
community character, housing quality and
physical and visual environment are preserved
and improved and that natural features are
incorporated into the design of residential
developments.
Infill Development and Affordable Housing
ttrhe existing Stillwater housing stock is Stillwater's
most affordable source of housing. Preserving the
stock' of existing housing units in its !f>>
neighborhoods especially around the downtown
and in infill areas avoids expensive costs
associated with new construction and extension of
public facilities and services and provides sites
close to exiting services and facilities,
Regulations that encourage rehabilitation and infill
are demolition control ordinances, housing
replacement ordinances and sensitive code
enforcement. Non-regulatory measure to promote
rehabilitation and infill include infrastructure
maintenance, reuse of city owned lands for infill
housing, housing rehabilitation assistance
programs, participation in first-time home buyer
programs for existing housing as well as new
housing.
Infill Housing
Infill hosing development promotes housing
affordability by using existing infrastructure and ,'.
services rather then requiring expensive extension
of 'roads, water and sewer lines and other
facilities. The city expansion areas are primarily
residential areas and do not have mixed uses
within close proximity of housing like the older
existing city neighborhoods. New URTPA
residential development is at relatively low
densities, two - four dwelling units per acre in part
to preserve open space and environmental
quality. The new areas will have an extensive
open space recreation trail system but be
dependent on the auto for work and shopping
trips. Car pool or van pool parking locations are
designated in the plan.
During the comprehensive planning process a
hard look was taken at trying to create new city
development areas in the spirit of old communities
with a mix of land uses, high and low densities,
wide architectural diversity, mix of housing types
and afford ability including assisted housing - less
transit dependent more pedestrian oriented.
From that review it was concluded that many of
the planning and design principals of the past are
6-3
still viable but have to be applied to Stillwater's
unique environmental setting and social-economic
conditions. The over riding concern for newly
developing URTPA areas is environmental quality
and natural resource protection and rural
character. This has been the trend since the early
1980's and has resulted in strict environmental
protection ordinances and regulation. The
environmental priority and regulations have
effected the design possibilities and public
acceptance of new urban density development.
The URTPA is comprised of three areas. Each
area contains unique natural resources that are
safeguarded through this plan. An extensive trail
and park system will be provided for the
enjoyment of the neighborhood and the
community at large. Each area will contain a
range of single family housing, large lot, small lot
and attached housing. Employment and shopping
opportunities will not be provided within walking
distance except for the R & 0 office park area,
and public transportation will not service the new
areas. Park and ride or car pooling lots will be
provided for commuting to the Twin Cities and
'other distant employment locations.
Infill opportunities within the City of Stillwater were
studied and sites were located in the downtown
and on the north edge of the West Stillwater
Business Park areas. There is very little vacant
land in the downtown but the City of Stillwater
over the last five years has purchased or leased
four parking lots that could provide sites for
housing development in the air spaces over them.
The lots are located along North Main Street and
Second Street at Mulberry and Olive. As many as
300 multifamily housing units could be developed
over these sites. As with all projects in the
downtown, good design and fit is important for a
project to be successful. Additional household in
the downtown area would enliven the area as a
residential area and support many of the
downtown business. The Second Street sites
would be particularly appropriate for additional
senior housing. (Rivertown Commons, a senior
, - project, located on Second Street has a 200
person waiting list).
Besides the downtown, the West Stillwater
Business Park is developing as a new community
center. Goods and services are provided within
walking district of residential areas. Parks, trails
and sidewalks have been constructed for
pedestrian transport. Local circulation and MTC
commuter bus services are available. A senior
center and assisted housing is located near the
area.
e
In the downtown, city services are in and could
accommodate the development without additional
infrastructure costs,
While preparing neighborhood plans opportunities
for small scale infill sites can be considered.
Neighborhood character and fit will be an
important consideration in older residential areas
around the downtown as it is in the downtown.
Innovative Zoning Techniques: Zero lot line,
cluster and mix use zoning
Innovative residential site planning techniques
such as zero lot lines developments or cluster
development result in cost savings by allowing
more compact lot sizes and arrangement of
infrastructure at greater densities then possible
using traditional zoning.
The modification of development standards
including minimum lot size, setbacks, street
widths, off-street parking requirements maximum
lot coverage, sidewalks and site improvements
requirement reduce costs.
Cluster zoning allows increased density on
concentrated portions of proposed a development,
reducing infrastructure costs and preserving open
space. Cluster development is usualry a part of a
planned unit development, PUD, and combined
with zero lot line development. The illustration
shows a cluster development concept plan and
describes the benefits of the urban cluster
development.

Besides the urban cluster development concept,
the rural cluster concept has recently been
discussed and proposed in part of the Washington
,,~County. The purpose of the rural cluster concept
is primarily to prese/Ve rural character and reduce
the visual impact and land coverage at densities
that can be supported by on-site wells and septic
systems.
The rural cluster concept is applicable to semi-
rural areas where open space is the primary
purpose but not in areas with urban se/Vices.

Housing Needs
Based on comprehensive housing afford ability
strategy (CHAS) data provided by the Department
of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) from
1990 census data to the metropolitan council the
following affordability needs are evident in
Stillwater:
Rented very low income, elderly houses are
the most apparent household type needing
assistance (217 household vs 87 affordable
units).
There is adequate rental housing stock for low
income households of all types.
Elderly very low and low income owner
household are in need of assistance (273
households and 13 housing units). This is true
but to less extent for small families.
Seventy-four percent of very low income elder
households pay more the 50 percent of their
income for housing while 64 percent of small
families earning less than 30 percent of
median income pay more than 50 percent of
their income for housing.
There is a demand for 639 units of renter very
low and low income housing and 628
affordable units available with only 109 of
those units occupied by very low or low
income households. See following charts.
Conclusions
Stillwater has a housing afford ability need for
elderly very low and low income households.
Stillwater has an adequate supply of
affordable housing units but they are not
occupied by very low and low income
households.
Most elderly very low income household
owners pay more than 30 percent of median
income for housing.
The housing policies and programs secti~n'
provide a city housing plan to address affordability
and other housing needs.

Rental Housing Survey
In 1993, Washington County Housing and
Redevelopment Authority conducted a rental
housing survey for Washington County including
the Stillwater area. Results from the survey are
summarized below: 450 housing units were
surveyed just less than 10 percent of the total City
of Stillwater housing stock and 30 percent of the
rental housing stock. Of 475 units surveyed, 450
were from projects with 3+ dwelling units.

RE:
Request for assessment abatement
DA:
May 31, 1996
Discussion:
The City has received a request from the owner of plat parcel number 9850-6960 to have a prior
year assessment levy abated for LI 285 (South East Area improvements). The individual was
eligible to defer the assessments in 1994 because of a disability. However, the individual did not
apply for the deferral until June, 1995 and the first installment was certified for collection with
his taxes in 1995. The individual is requesting that the first year installment (i.e., that which was
payable in 1995) in the amount of$1161.40 be abated and that the entire amount ofthe
assessments be carried by the City as a special deferral. (Note: Because of his disability the
individual is qualified to have assessments deferred and assessments will not be certfied for
collection after 1995)
The Council would need to adopt a resolution abating the assessments and the City would also
have to submit an abatement form to the county.
Recommendation:
Council consider abating prior year assessment.

RE:
Outlots A of Highlands 5th & 6th Addn.
DA:
May 31, 1996
Discussion:
Outlots A of Highlands 5th and 6th additions are available for city acquisition. the Outlots are as
shown on the enclosed plat. Outlot A of the 5th Addition is a small parcel of land that appears to
provide access to the Head End equipment building and tower for the cable communication
system. The City may want to control this access point.
Outlot A of the 6th Addition is an area adjacent to Lily Lake. The area is wooded, with extreme
slopes and should be obtained for open space and to prevent development of this area.
As the City Attorney points out in his memo to staff, the cost of acquisition is minimal.
Recommendation:
City acquire Outlots A of Highlands 5th and 6th Addition as per City Attorney's memorandum.

RE:
Outlots A and Highland's 5th and 6th Addition
Enclosed is a letter that I just received from Steve Fiterman's office with regard to Outlots A in
Highland's 5th and 6th Addition. Please let me know if this makes sense and I will inform Fiterman.
If the parcels should ultimately be in the City's name, it is much simpler to accept a Quit Claim Deed
now then wait until tax forfeiture time where we would obtain a more limited title that would prohibit
resale. On the negative side, we would have about five and nolloo dollars ($5.00) per year in tax for
payable 1996 and another five and nolloo dollars ($5.00) for payable 1997 and in following years it
would be exempt.

Dear . Olsen:
water City Hall asbestOs abatement activities
.
Please md attached our proposal for the asbestos abatement activities at the Stillwater City Hall. This proposal is
based the infonnation provided by Xun at the job site and the inspection repon completed by NOVA
Enviro mental Services.
I woul guess that this number is significantly higher than some of the other nwnbers you might have received.
This is or two ~easons. . J
The scope of work is not verY clearly defined at this point. I w~ instructed to gather bids for the
removal of all asbestos-containing materials within the building and that is what I have
provided. I would asswne that other contractors who looked at this project only provided bids
for the asbestos-containing materials which were identified witlpn the inspection report. Upon
completion of my own inspection, however, it became evident fhat there is a substantial amount
of asbestos materials in the building that are not identified in NaY A's inspection report.
II.
I
I
I
!2
Our proposal provide on-site project management and air monitoring services for the duration of
the asbestos abatement project. . This service is especially important for your company and the
city since both of you are liable for any damages caused by the asbestos contraCtor. This
included regulatory violations committed, asbestos exposure incidents or other miscellaneous
, damages caused by the asbestos contractor. Our services and insurance covers both you, as the
general cOntractor, and the City against any such claims or damages.
If you p ceed with one of the other contractors wbo provided an estimate, there is a distinct possibility that they
will end up charging you far more than our estimate on change orders alone. Those change order! would be more
than jus. fied since a large amount the materials in need or removal are not in the plan.
i
The bottbm line in this: I would love to assist your company with this project and will do whatever it take to get to
that end.! As an environmental consulting company, our goal is always to help you ensure that all your bases are
covered ~d to help you fmd the cheapest removal option available. To help you do that, I would be more than
willing tb sit down with you and/or :Kurt and figure out exactly what materials must come out and then detennine
the best rOSSibleremOVal plan.

Dear Friend,
Your opinion has never been more important. On June 13, 1996 we hope you will help us
answer the question: How should the Twin Cities region grow in thefuture?
We invite you to join a special focus group session for members of regional interest groups to
discuss the way the region develops over the next 25 years. The session will take place on June
13. 1996 from 8:30 - 10:30 a.m. Your input will help guide regional decisions on how to use
land and where to invest public dollars for sewers, roadways and transit.
What will the future look like? Considerable development is forecast over the next 25 years. By
the year 2020, the Twin Cities area will have grown by 650,000 people - a 28% incr~ over
the current estimated population. This represents an increase of 330,000 new households and
380,000 new jobs.
At this meeting we will discuss three growth options and their characteristics and use electronic
audience response technology to collect your candid input. We encourage your discussion to
help determine the best attributes of each option.
We look forward to seeing you there.

Ways Our
Community Can
Grow
In 25 years there will be:
. 650,000 more people living in the
metropolitan area
Why is this important?
. Current Trend Development
Expansion of the urban area
continues in all directions. It is
market driven, meeting the demand
for housing and job locations
wherever it occurs in the region.
. 380,000 new jobs created
. 330,000 new households
developed
Community Issues:
. to determine how we can best
prepare for the changes.
. to accommodate the region's
development.
. to plan the kind of region we want
and not allow growth to happen
haphazardly.
. Concentrated Development
New growth is located in existing
urban areas. Development
emphasis is on the central cities
and older suburbs while preserving
agricultural land outside the urban
service line. Housing density would
increase and some mixed housing
and retail development would share
locations.
. an aging baby boom generation
. less public service dollars
. What do we want from our
neighborhoods?
. How should our community grow in
the future?
. How do we want to use our land
around the metropolitan area?

FOCUS GROUP SESSION

. Growth Centers Development
Retail business and job locations
mingles with housing. A more
transit and pedestrian friendly
urban environment would be
created. The urban service line
would expand into some rural
areas.
. How can we plan now for the
public's needs in 25 years?
. How will a regional growth plan
affect personal and public
~ decisions on location of housing,
jobs, roads, sewers and other
public needs?

Key Communicator comments and questions are printed in bold face, italic type.
· A 'bullet'indicates a new voice.
Site-based decision making
Editor's note: The School Board recently approved a language change in the Position Paper
on Site-Based Decision Making which shifted decisions on how parents will be involved from
the district level to individual schools: "The membership of the Site Committee... will consist
of teachers and the principal. Other stakeholders may be included. Each site will define in their
plan how parents will be involved in the building Site-Based Decision Making process."
· As a parent, I would like to voice my frustration, anger, disappointment, sadness about the
Board removing the language change of parents being involved in the teacher-administration
board of site-based management. 1 really feel there is a lack of trost, and I feel sad that par-
ents are good enough to ron bond campaiglls alld do fulldraisillg alld some of the thillgs
that aren't as pleasant, but the Board can't trust us to be involved in decision-making. I
would like to see this issue addressed further. 1 know it's a political hot potato, but 1 hate to
see it just get a passing glance at a Board meeting. Progress toward making site-based deci-
sion a reality has been moving at a glacial pace. Board members who supported the language
change reasoned that making parents' voting status on site councils a building level option
rat;1er than a districtwide requitementwould n~ove the e:1t1re process forward, They believe
that placing this piece of the site-based program in the hands of each individual school is a
move away from "top down management" toward having decisions made closer to where their
effects are felt. Their action has been interpreted as an attempt to exclude parents, but their
intention was just the opposite. The District 834 TAB (Teacher-Administration-Board)
Committee concurred with the Board decision in the belief that the language change removed
an artificial barrier to progress. Afton-Lakeland Elementary is the only District 834 school that
has presented a formal site-based decision making plan to the School Board, and their council
does give parents voting privileges, The Board approved their proposal April 11.
Higher expectations for students
A caller's comments, printed in the last School Talk, on higher expectations for students drew
some thoughUul responses: .If Marva Collins in Chicago's most troubled neighborhood can
have secolld graders readillg alld discussing Dostoevsky, why are ours reading simplified
fairy talJ!s in Great Books?
· Implied in the (call) is the assumption that children are empty vessels to be filled by teach-
ers, and that the degree of fillillg depends solely on teachers. I believe teachers have a great
deal to do with the results, but that parellts and community environment have an even
greater influence... 1 think, for whatever reaSOIl, a substantial percentage of parellts do not
back up a demanding teacher. (The writer suggests asking parents of children in one or two
classes if they would be willing to have greater demands placed on their children and back up
their willingness with a commitment to see that their children spent adequate time doing home-
work.) There are probably other methods of detenllining the readiness of a commullity for
holding their childrell to higher academic stalldards, but it is simplistic to assume that fail-
ure to do so can be remedied by an anllual evaluation of faculty.
· There is 110 such thing as too high when it comes to expectations for our children's education.

More budget questions/comments
· A recent writer in the Gazette brings up a valid point. We have raised fees, cut
programs, increased class sizes, cut EAs (paraprofessionals), cut supplies. What %
are teachers' salaries of the total budget? What % are administrative salaries of e
the total budget? When the district knew of cutbacks, what freeze or cutbacks were
recommndedfor salaries of teachers and administration? Teachers' salaries and
fringe benefits are 62.8% of the total budget. Central (districtwide) and building
(principals) administrators' salaries are 4.6% of the total budget. Salaries and fringe
benefits for all district employees (teachers, support staff, administrators) are 82.7%
of the total budget. No salary freezes were recommended or implemented during
negotiation of the current two-year (1995-96 and 1996-97) contracts.
· How much is spent on average on: 1) special education; 2) 'regular' kids;
3) 'gifted' kids'; 4) sports and other activities? 1) The estimated special education
budget for 1996-97 is $6.1 million; 2) Based on the preliminary '96-97 general fund
budget of $44,829,700, the district spends an average of $4,750 per elementary student
and $5,820 per secondary student. 3) Discovery, the program for gifted elementary-age
students, has been eliminated due to budget reductions; secondary schools offer
enriched courses in English, history, art history, humanities, math and science. 4)
Non-salary expensell associated with extra- and co-curricular activities are covered
by fees and gate receipts. The state fee law does not permit fees to pay coaches'
salaries or administrative expenses. Approximately $600,000 in extra- and
co-curricular salaries and fringe benefits is paid out of the general fund.
· I see the music lobbyists have been out ill full force to protect their programs. My
COil cern is with children who don't have musical ability. What programs do we have
to develop the illterests of childrell in science or debate or theatre? Co-curricular
programs are already fee based. I don't see any music fee-blJSed programs. S::~ce
. we obviously Ileed the cutbacks, I suggest everyone across the board pay their fair
share, Ilot just the co-curricular program. If you raise fees, you will be taxing stu-
dents out of programs. Then we will have programs for the musically talented alld
IlO, one else. Part of the response to this relates to what is part of the curriculum (for
credit) and what is co- or extra-curricular. The line gets fuzzy in the area of music: if
participation in evening concerts is part of students' class requirements. but teachers
are paid a co-curricular salary for that time, how should concerts be classified? At
the May 9 Board meeting, a tentative decision was made to charge fees for all Senior
High extra-curricular programs related to the Minnesota State High School League
(MSHSL). As a result, all Senior High music students who participate in MSHSL
music activities will pay a $25 fee, Further, the cost/fee structure for all co-curricular
programs and salaries will be reviewed. All that said, nothing is gained by pitting
one program or activity against another-in a time of shrinking resources or any other
time, for that matter. '
· This writer links the decision to reduce the number of paraprofessional working
days to choice: "I thought Olle of the things this district prided itself Oil was the
amount of choice ill the differellt schools and the differellt programs they offer. I
thillk making this killd of cut is really discouraging choice... It's really sendillg
the wrong message to us (Stollebridge parellts)... I ullderstalld this cut process is
difficult.. .but I thillk it Ileeds to be fair Oil a school-to-school basis. Preserving
choice is the very reason the district is struggling to maintain the 3:1 paraprofessional:
teacher ratio by reducing number of working days rather than eliminating positions, .-
Each school can decide how best to use its paraprofessionals' time. One example .
might be using paraprofessional time for school-opening preparations and finding
volunteers to help on field trip days during the school year in lieu of paraprofessional
time. Incidentally, principals support the Board's position on this.

CommentS
e · Enjoyed your publication, but had
trouble following some items because of
abreviations such as KC, BWBR, etc.
Mea culpa. I have violated the pledge I
made in the first issue of School Talk to
avoid using Non-Decipherable Acronyms,
Only Understood By Educators
(NDAOUBE).
I used 'KC' to save space and avoid repe-
tition of 'Key Communicator; but sever-
al people asked me what it stood for-
Knights ofColwnbus... Kansas City...
KC at the Bat??? If it's confusing to read-
ers, it's a poor shortcut.
BWBR Architects is tJle name of tJle finn
designing the new elementary school. A
nice person who answered tJleir phone
~mid BWBR are tJle initials of tJle last
names of the original partners, all of
whom are retired, So, the name was
changed legally to just BWBR.

Junior High science requirelllellts
· Is it true that 7th grade sciellce is ollly half a year? That really cOllcems me
because the U.S. doeSll't do that well with math alld sciences (compared with)
other coulltries. Why ill the world would we have a half-year system ill sciellce?
During the three years of junior high-grades 7,8 and 9-students take two and a
half years of science. The configuration differs slightly at our two junior high
schools: at Oak-Land, 7th graders take a full year of life science, 8th gradcrs take
half a year of earth science, and 9th graders take a full year of physical science; at
Stillwater Junior High, 7th graders take half a year of life science, 8th graders take
a full year of earth science, and 9th graders take a full year of physical science.
Homework, academics, athletics
· What is the homework policy? .. .um.l~aming must illvolve a student doillg
individual work. How much is expected? How call high school students do
homework if they are employed or...doing athletics Oil theflTst team? There is
too much emphasis on varsity highly competitive sports. (Our society seems to
demalld this emphasis.) It's olle thillg to provide physical traillillg alld cOllditioll-
illg... (it's) another thillg to have a major focus Oil varsity athletics with afew
heros ellgaged ill what seems to come down to mock combat. The prime purpose
of education is to prepare young people for life as all adult-few will go into pro-
fessional athletics. (I admit I am way off the beatell track with this issue.) Are
awards displayed for academic accomplishmellts-high grades, special projects,
debate team prizes, etc.? Intellectual achievement should be recogllized by every- .
body as beillg highly valued. Maybe it is already-maybe there are some things
we could do to help? Last question first-yes, awards for all kinds of student
accomplishment are displayed-from trophy and display cases in the high school
and junior highs to elementary school hallways rich with student projects and art.
Recognition of student achievement takes many forms, including academic awards
assemblies-here are a couple more random examples. Large banners recognizing
student accomplishments in all areas are displayed permanently in the high school
gym. Student art is displayed on a rotating basis in the district's boardroom. At the
end of each exhibit, student artists and any guests they wish to bring along are
invited to a School Board meeting where formal recognition includes receiving a
letter of appreciation and pointing out their art for the live TV audience (everybody
gets pop and cookies, too).
About homework. The district's policy is not a 'hard and fast rule,' recognizing
that homework assignments should fit individual courses and students. The policy
det1nes some principles to be followed including that homework should: be ncxi~
ble; have a dct1nite purpose; not be 'busy work'; never be assigned as punishment;
be reasonable and not a replacement for in-school work, The policy specifically
states that homework is more effective if parents understand its purpose and how
best to help at home.
Watching movies in class
· Is there a (written) district policy (K-12) regardillg watching Hollywood-
produced movies during classtime? I think it would help clarify the issue for
both teachers and parellts. A video is classified as an instructional resource, and
the district does have a policy on selection and review of instructional matcrials.
The policy cites specific criteria and procedures for selection. Resources selected
by teachers should contribute to what students are learning and should be consis-
tent with the district's mission and core values. Leave a request on the hotlinc to
obtain a copy of the complete policy.

Board work sessions
· Board workshops: who can attend; who can participate; how are they publicized?
Work sessions are governed by the same open meeting law that applies to any meeting of
the Board. Anyone may attend unless the meeting has been declared closed and notice has _
been published as such. School Boards may conduct closed sessions for purposes such as ..
discussion of personnel matters, labor negotiations, or explusion of a minor student.
Anyone may attend open work sessions, but because they are set up primarily for Board
members' discussion, the audience may participate only at Board discretion. TIme for pub-
lic comment is included in all regular School Board meeting agendas. Dates and times for
work sessions usually are set during a regular Board meeting, and if that's the case, publi-
cation of a meeting notice is not required. If the time of a work session is not set during a
public meeting, notice must be published in the district's official newspaper at least three
working days before the meeting takes place.
Taxes.. . teachers. . .not teachers...
· Feb. issue Key Communicator whining about taxes... We already have "high caliber"
teachers. I'm happy thus far with our district's teachers my daughter has had and whom
I have met. Instead of paying more for teachers, how about incentives for teaching kids
well? This could be monitored by a parent board. In addition, I recently read that the
average pay for a teacher in the u.s. is $36,500 or so...forworking 9 months and get-
ting every holiday off. I would say that's reasonable. Seems to me there is a lot of money
spent on people who aren't teaching the 3 Rs, i.e. administrators, counselors, etc., etc.
New elementary school
· There are some bad rumors circuloJing about the new school building. Can we put out
some positive illfo? The Spring District 834 News newsletter includes an article and archi-
tects' drawings of the new school. Call the hotline if you didn't receive a newsletter ir.
April, and one will be sent to you. Updates will he included in the District 834 News
throughout the planning and construction of the new school. Please let us know what these
specific rumors are, so they can be addressed.
· (Here's what I think about) the new school at Co. 12 & 15. You've lost our support.
Spend our money more wisely & prudently like your own! Put this school where sewer is
already available next to the new Taj Mahal Sr. High! Sewer and water is not available
next to the High School, and, in fact, utilities connections would have been more expensive
in Oak Park Heights than in Stillwater Township. This was addressed at length in the
December School Talk. And, yes, the High School is beautiful, isn't it?

RE:
Lily Lake
As requested, we have reviewed the avaHable data on LHy Lake and fll'C providing I..,fe.in our
comments and suggestions. Ba.~ed on OUf review, we believe that the 1996 program for Lily Lake
should include the following:
I. Monitoring of lake and 2-3 inflows
2. Aquatic ve,getatiOnlseed bank survey
3. Surface alum treatment of upstream water bodies
4. Evaluation of watershed practices
Current Water Ouall(y and Monltn.;nr
The Metropolitan Council's u199~ Study of the Water Quality in 59 MClropolitau Area
Lakes" pre.~ents water quality data for Lily Lake in 1995. (See attached) Under a volunteer
monitoring program entitled "Citizen-Assisted Monitoring J:9gram" (CAMP). a volunteer(s)
measured temperature and transparency and collected sampl~ which were analyzed for total
phosphorus, total Kjeldahl nitrogen and chlorophyll-a on a bi~weekly ba.~ from mid April
to mid-October (14 sampleli). The test results indicate a fairlr' gout! water quality for a lake
in an urban watershed.
.j
/
However. ba4led on the input of Stillwater residents, the lake water quality ha.'i deteriorated
nver the pa~t several years nnd the City's goal is to n:~tore Lily Lake to its original, more
pristine condition. Because improving lake water quality from a relatively good condition
to a better condition is extremely sensitive, we believe that more knowledge about the
inflows to the lake and their interaction with the lake is necessal)'. We recommend a
monitoring program of the three major lake inlets and the lake itself to determine actual
conditions and to calibrate the lake model.
Aquatic V eptatio~eed R..nk SurvU
Aquatic vegetation is often a key to lake water quality. The right combination of plant
species can often improve lake water quality while the wrong vegetation or dominance of one
~pecies (particularly exotics) can be harmful fo wate.r quality. We recommend a survey uf
cxi~ting aquatic vegetation and the St~ hank to provide infonnation about existing
conditions that could lead to an effective (yet inexpensive) vegetation management program.

Alum Tfta__nt
Continuous dosing of alUIIl for storm water treatment is not likely to be allowed by the
MPCA. At the present time, it appears that the MPCA will apply a drinking water standard
for aluminum on discharges to a public water body. While dosing could still be done under
these standards. it would require a large settling basin before the Waler could be discharged.
We have experience in the City of Eagan llherein an alum surface trc61tluent of upstream
water bodies provided for long tenn (up to 3-5 years) remov6l1 of phosphorus frum
stormwater before it is discharged to a high quality water body. What happens is that the
alum from the surface treatment attaches to the pond bottom. As stonnwater enters the pond,
it mixes and comes in contact with the aluminum in the pond bottom and phosphoris is
remvoed. In Eagan this process ha.~ continued to work for three yeilC5 after lhe treatment.
We recommend alum treatment of the Brick Pond in 1996 after the initial monitoring. The
process is recommended because it's relatively inexpensive (approx. $600/acre) and
effective. Completing the alum treatment after the initial monitoring and then continuing to
monitor after the treamaent will provide data on the effectiveness of the alum procedure.
Watenh~ Pn<<I8lII
Once more is known about Lily Lake and its relationshisp with its watershed (through
monitoring and'the vegetation survey), the model of the lake can be reviewed and calibrated.
At this point. the more expensive watershed praclicc~. such as ui version, should be
reevaluated for effectiveness and costJbenefit.
