In the Fall of 1869, four years after the Civil War, Albert Ruger, an accomplished urban illustrator, made a
pencil sketch of Stillwater. The Stillwater Republican wrote that Ruger's sketch "shows every street, and the
name of same, and the buildings are clearly defined, and properly located that every citizen can point
out his own residence be it ever so small. II
In 1879 Albert Ruger returned to Stillwater to again draw the prosperous city, which had doubled in size.
The Stillwater Gazette wrote, "The picture will be valuable as a present map of the city, and will in the
future possess great interest for reference:'

Introduction
The St. Croix Valley Sports FacilityCommission was established on October 25, 1995 to
provide preliminary design/layout of facilities and to raise funds for the Sports Complex,
Weare now on the threshold of completing Phase I which is raising the necessary funds,
We need additional financial support from the City of Stillwater.
The City of Stillwater financial support is critical to the completion of our fund drive and
especially critical in our next Mighty . Duck application on October 5, 1996,
We need the City of Stillwater's response no later than October 1, 1996,

Conclusion
The City of Stillwater's commitment of $1,000,000 will assure us of making our capital
goal of $4, 100,000.
However, there are several items which must be completed to make the Sports Complex a
reality,
The following items are required:
1, Formation of some form of joint power committee to review our financial
commitments and propose operating costs.
2. Obtaining competitive bids which will allow us to meet our projected
construction budget.
3, Obtaining interim financing to cover construction costs, The loan plus interest
will be paid back by the pledges to the Sports Complex and operating income
from the Sports Complex,
It's third down and 15 from our 3 yard line. It's late in the 4th quarter. We
normally don't pass from the 3, but future of the Sports Complex is on the line.
Will the City of Stillwater help us so we can score a touchdown?

STar,WATER MARKETPLACE OUTLOT SALES
Rich, here is a brief rundown of the Marketplace sales to date. I have also included a plot
plan which you call use as a reference.
SOI.D PROPERTY
Urban Associates has purchased Lots 3-6 and a portion ot'Lot 2, all oJ' which comprise
Block 1. This is the strip center which lies to the south of the main entrance to Marketplace
center.
On Block 2. which is on the north side of the main entrance, we have purchase
agreements in place for Lots 1-4. The intended uses have not been publicly disclosed yet. but if
you would like to can me, [can review them over the phone with you. In fairness to the buyers, T
would prefer not to put that information in writing.
UNSOLD PROPERTY
As I indicated on the phone, the Largest unsold parcel is the 4 + acres of connecting space
between the Target and the Cub store. This is being marketed at $6.00 per square foot. so the
proceeds (assuming a buyer pays the asking price) would be $1,045,440.
Three outlot parcels also remain Wlsold. which make up 111,240 square feet. The asking
price in this case is also $6 per square lbot, so our potential proceeds arc $667,440.
aUTI,OOK
I have not been directly involved in the sale of the residual property at the Marketplace
center. but I understand that the demand level for the outlot property is quite high. I would
expect that the available outlots wiJl be sold for the asking price or an amount very close to the
asking price in the near term.
e
If I can be of additional assistance. please do 110t hesitate to call me at 779 - 2052.

FROM: DIANE
DATE: SEPTEMBER
SUBJECT: USE OF TIF FOR ST. CROIX VALLEY SPORTS FACILITY
BACKGROUND
(Due to staff time spent on finalizing the Proposed 1997 Budget &
Tax Levy, this memo was not included in the council agenda packet.)
In September 1995, thecouncil4Qemonstrated it's support for the
construction of a new sports facility with the adoption of
resolution 95-214, which. authorized an application for the "Mighty
Ducks" funding request and outlinedthecommittment of the city.
In March of 1996, the city was notified that the city did not
'recei ve ,"Mighty Ducks" funding. 'In May 1996 ,the city bonded for
projects in progress, including 'the city hall i;remodeling and 1996
capi tal outlay . At the September.3meeting,'/council directed staff
to investigate the availability and ,amount of TIP funds that may be
used '. to support the "sports 'faci 1 i ty ~'it":{Last'tweek'at:'your.counci 1

need to be addressed regardless of the dollar
contributed"to the project. '_
, Mr. John
areas of concern
are items that
'of TIF to be
Based on the comprehensive TIF review prepared for the council in
Apri 11996, there are no current available TIFfunds for this
project in 1996 or 1997. Further review of TIF District #4 reveals
that. approximately $75,000 per year ofTIF revenue would be
generated beginning in 1998. This is estimated for the new strip
mall along Co. Rd. 5 that has just been constructed.
The $75,000 per year is expected to be available for the life of
the district (15 years) and could be used for debt service on a new
Tax Increment Bond. Depending on interest rates, this new TIF Bond
is estimated at $700,000.
CONCLUSION & RECOMMENDATION
e
At this time, staff would recommend the following: Based on
current estimates of revenue and interest rates, in 1998 the city
could sell a TIF bond for $700,000 and pledge the $75,000 tax
increment from TIF District 14 for the repayment of those bonds.
In addition, the concerns of the city's bond attorney will also
need to be addressed for successful financing of the project with
TIF.

September 17, 1996
To: Mayor and Council Members
City of Still~ r
From: Ed Cain, LA~
Subject: Legislative Action on the Levee Flood Control Project.
Appropriations: The House/Senate Conference Committee completed work on the
Energy and Water Appropriations for FY 1997 (H.R. 3816) last week. The House, by
floor action, accepted the Conference Report by a large majority, a 383-29 vote. The
Conference Report saw the same type of smooth sailing in the Senate, passing this
morning by a vote of 94-6.
As you recall, the Stillwater project was not included in the House bill. The Senate
earmarked $1 million to begin work on Stage 2 of the project, which is the extension of
the levee wall from the gazebo, around Mulberry Point to P.D. Pappy's. The Committee
Conference Report included $.5 million for Stage 2, considerably less than we
requested.
The bad news is a half million plus the $350,000 we were able to get from the State
this last session is not sufficient to complete Stage 2 of the project. The good news is
that the appropriation by Congress, albeit insufficient, is a signal to the Corps that they
want the project to continue.
e
I met with high Corps officials last week in Washington and St. Paul after learning of
the level of the appropriation. They indicated, at the highest levels, that the Corps does
not want to experience delays in construction between Stage 1 and Stage 2 of the
project. With the support of the Congressional Appropriations Committee Members who
have befriended us since 1992, and the right type of support from our Congressional
Delegation, we will have the funds to continue construction next Spring on sch~dule.
The Corps has already signed the agreement with SEH to do the plans and specs for
the second stage, so there witt be no delay there.
Page 2.
e
It would be nice and clean if we just received a straight appropriation for the full
amount, but obtaining $11.6 million in capital for a local project does not come easily.
Anyone who has ever tried to raise funds for a project knows this. Patience,
persistence, and proficiency produces product and progress. It would be impossible to
accomplish what we have today without the strong support of this Council and the
Mayor, and the City staff.
Project Authorization: The 83 differences in the House and Senate versions of the
Water Resource Development Act (WRDA) of 1996, passed by both the House and
Senate, is currently being studied and resolved by Committee staff in pre-conference
meetings. The Members will not be formally involved until the major issues are agreed
upon. To our success, both bills increase the authorization for the Stillwater Levee
project from the $3.2 million authorized in the 1992 WRDA Act to the $11.6 million which
we will need to complete the project. The Senate Committee staff director stated this
was the only reauthorization of this size that the Senate has passed in his 15 years in
the Senate.
The wording in neither bill is exactly what we would like to have, however, the
Senate version is much preferred. As you may recall, the Senate version out of
Committee was equally as bad as the current House version. A series of meetings with
the top staff people of the four Chairman and Ranking Members of the Environment and
Public Works Committee (Senators John Chafee, Max Baucus, John Warner, Daniel
Moynihan) resulted in the amendment that was made on the floor of the Senate on our
behalf by Chairman Chafee. After all the time they committed to our project, it doesn't
seem right to oppose them in Conference Committee, although I would if the House
version was clean.
I spent considerable time last week with Congressman Jim Oberstar who was the
key Member that helped us get the initial authorization in 1992. Jim is on the WRDA
Conference Committe_, and a highly respected Member by both parties ---and me. He
looked into the situation, and after speaking to the Senate Conferees, thought it best not
to try to rewrite the language in Conference. Based on this, I told him that we preferred
the Senate version, and he said, that's what you will get.
e
The Senate version calls for the Corps to determine if the flood wall, Stage 3 of the
project, is economically feasible. It also states that no delay of Stage 2 shall occur as a
result of this study.
e
,e
Page 3.
The original language could have been interpreted by the Corps to halt all
construction work until the study is completed. The amended language clearly states
that the study in no way delays work on Stages 1 or 2. The study required in the WRDA
bill will likely begin in the late Fall of this year. I will be working to have the study
conducted by the St. Paul District Office rather than by Chicago, Washington, or a
private firm.
I will keep you informed as things move through the process, and work on the WRDA
bill is completed. Congress has moved up their adjournment time from October 4th to
September 27th because of the elections.

e City Council Members
Stillwater, Minnesota
FYI
Dear Council Member,
I would like to express my concern regarding a well intentioned idea that has resulted in a
dangerous situation. I am referring to the 'walking path' that starts at Lily Lake Elementary
School and passes through the small housing addition immediately South of the school.
#. .
#
e
The newly installed 'walking path' was, as I understand, a requirement imposed upon the
builder by the City Council. The intent, I'm told, was to provide the school children
attending Lily Lake Elementary a safe alternative route to use. The problem is one of
mixing a steep ramp, young children and traffic. My concern is based upon tragic
experience with a similar situation, and !lot just an overly active imagination. In the late
1960's, I was living at 1464 Parkwood Drive in Woodbury. The 'walking path' connected a
park area with Parkwood Drive and passed between the houses, in the same manner as the
ramp behind Lily Lake Elementary school. The children in the area quickly learned that a
steep ramp is a great place to slide in the winter and run bikes in the summer. Beaver
Richter, cttir young neighbor across the street and down three doors, lost his life because of
the deadly mix of steep ramps, children and traffic. The Richter family, the neighbors, and
the unfortunate soul driving the car (who had ahsolutely no chance of avoiding Beaver)
will never forget the terrible lesson of well intended ideas that are actually deadly traps for
children. The driver was well within speed limits, was duly diligent in watching for
trouble, etc. He just happened to be there when Beaver and his friend were taking
advantage of this wonderful steep ramp.
\
We have lived at 801 Autumn Way since August 15 and have already experienced what
looks like a tragedy in the making; i.e., a steep ramp, children and unsuspecting traffic. You
are welcome to stop by any evening just before 9 PM and watch a young boy who.
consistently, without any lights, without benefit of street lights, flies past out driveway,
down Autumn Way and across County 5. It's just a matter of time before other youngsters
discover the ramp. TJ:le first night I witnessed this routine was very dark: almost pitch
black. I know the boy never saw me standing there, with my dog, just a few feet from him.
The City of Woodbury took corrective action, but not in time to save Beaver. I urge the
City Council of Stillwater to reconsider their 'walking path' decision, to visit the site and
see first hand what can (and will) happen, and to eliminate the problem before a child gets
hurt and/ or killed. We love the idea of visits from our three grandchildren that attend
Lily Lake Elementary...but really dread the consequences of leaving things as they exist.

Test area should be roped off before construction begins so
it cannot be driven over by heavy equipment, or used as a
deposi tory for bui 1 ding materi a 1 s, or e:-:cess e:.~cavated soi 1 .

According to Mr Larson, the main floor of the house would be
higher than the test area, making a semi-gravity system
possible (see figure C~12). However, I suggest that final
elevations be checked before the top of block is set.
e
The test area is set 10 feet back from the bluff line.
The well should be located at least 50 feet from the septic
system. The 1 ine from the house to the first tank must be
pressure tested to 5 pounds for 15 minutes.
Because of the limited area available for use as an on-site
septic system on this lot, I suggest installing the trenches
at 4 feet deep, using 2 feet of rock under the pipe. With
502 square feet of trench, this provides a larger.than
needed sizing factor for a 4 bedroom house. Two 1000 gallon
septic tanks should be i~stalled, and I suggest that these
tanks be pumped on a yearly basis. I also suggested to Mr
Larson that a water meter be installed on his plumbing so
that he could monitor his water usage in order to make sure
that he was not going over 600 gallons per day.
P#3 was added in order to demonstrate that the fill area, as
shown on the diagram, would perc as well as the natural soil
(wh i ch it did).
Trench construction should be undertaken only when soil
conditions are dry to avoid smearing and excessive
compaction.

Grass cover should be establ ished over the treatment area as

be maintained as lawn and heavy traffic should be kept off

CITY OF STILLWATER
MEMORANDUM
TO:
Mayor and City Council
FROM:
Klayton Eckles, City Engineer
\u/
.'
DATE: September 13, 1996
SUBJECT: Update on Engineering and Public Works Project Work Schedule
DISCUSSION
The work load in the Engineering Department and Public Works Department continues to be
very heavy. The pending annexation has created a significant increase in the number of issues
which must be dealt with. Staff has prepared the following description of current projects
underw~y. Generally the high priority items are near the top of the list.
Assessment Role Preparation - Assessment roles and assessment hearings must be completed for
last years projects, including Wildwood Pine~ 5th Addition, Pine Hill Estates, Kutz Addition,
Calibre Ridge, Good Samaritan, Yacht Club Dredging, Stephan Alley, '95 Sidewalks and 1996
Projects, including Pine Street and the 1996 Street Improvement Project. Public Hearings for
these are scheduled for October 1 st and 15th.
9624 Interlachen Hills 3rd Addition. The wetland mitigation plan and developer agreement for
this project must be reviewed and approved.
.2.622 School Site. The elementary school is moving forward, therefore review of wetland
mitigation, preparation of developer agreement and plan review must all be completed.
9626 Annexation Area. The annexation process requires that environmental studies be started
immediately. SEH is currently preparing the proposal for the completion of this study.
9614 1996 Street Improvement Proiect. This project is approximately 50% complete. Staffis
currently working on assessment role preparation.
L.I. 295 Pihe Street Improvement Project. The Pine Street project is approximately 75%
complete. Staff is currently working on assessment role preparation.
9602 Levy Project. This project is currently underway. Staff periodically meets with the
contractor and the Corp to deal with any issues that arise.
196 Sidewalk Project. This year, rather than do an entire sidewalk project, we extended the scope
of the 1995 Sidewalk Project. In order to proceed with construction, assessment waivers had to
be received from all affected property owners. The contractor is scheduled to begin this work
September 23rd.
Disc Golf Course Staff is researching property ownership and working on wetland issues in
order to move this project forward.
Autumn Wood Addition. This project is to be completed by the developer. Staff is currently
working to push this project to completion by the e}ld of the '96 construction season.
2QQ1 Dee(path Environmental Study. . Service Environmental has completed the study of the
Olive Street dump and staff has met with the neighborhood to discuss the report findings. The
next step is to develop the response to deal with the environmental issues.
9609 Dee(path Traffic Issue. Council ordered a Feasibility Study to look at traffic on Deerpath
and neighboring streets. This study is currently being prepared by SEH.
2Qll Long Lake Drainage Study. Due to potential flooding in Long Lake a two-part study was
commissioned. SEH is currently working on the second part of this study.
.2.Q13. Lily Lake Storm Treatment. A preliminary study developed several viable options for
reducing pollutant loads to Lily Lake. SEH is currently preparing a second phase study to look
at these options with more detail.
2223. Johnson Court Stonebridge Trail Storm Sewer. In this area there is a wetland with no
outlet which causes potential flooding to neighboring residents. Staff is currently reviewing a
draft report prepared by SEH.
2QlQ Hazel Street Storm Sewer. At this location a storm sewer outlet is causing serious erosion
in one of the ravines. Staff is currently reviewing a draft report prepared by SEH.
.2.@Q Elm Street Storm Sewer. Between 2nd and 4th Streets and Hickory and Elm there is
significant erosion occurring in the ravine. A feasibility study has been completed in the area of
the Territorial Prison, but additional study has to be completed in the upper reaches of the ravine.
SEH is currently working on this feasibility.
.2..6.l2 Frontage Road Improvements West of Co. Rd. 5. Feasibility Report is currently
underway of the Bradshaw property which is part of the annexation area.
2.Q21 Downtown Lighting Project. City Council ordered a Feasibility Study on the installation
of pedestrian lighting for the entire downtown area. Staff hopes to have this completed within
the next three months.
.2Q.M. Industrial Park Lighting. Last year City Council ordered a Feasibility Report to complete
,t
..

.
the Industrial Park Lighting. This report is nearing completion.
2.6lQ. Industrial Park Storm Water System. Staffhas been working with various developments
including EFH, Colonial Craft, Schoonover and others to increase the storm water capacity of the
Industrial Park Storm System and reduce impacts to Long Lake down stream.
2Q28. Street Sign Inventory Study. Due to concerns of several residents in various locations of
the city, staff is attempting to inventory and analyze the city's stop sign and intersection control
throughout the city.
2Q2.2 Pedestrian Crosswalk and Speed Hump Study. Staffis working with the center for
applied research in the Federal Highway Administration to study the effectiveness of these
devices.
With this level of work load it becomes more and more difficult to complete projects in a
proactive or timely manner. Therefore, the proposed staffing increases for 1997 should provide
significant increases in productivity and effectiveness of this department.
1996 has been a busy year for Public Works as well. This year four part-time summer workers
were u,s~d to help with the additional work load. In the coming weeks Public Works will be
attempting to wrap up our summer projects and prepare for winter. Some of the projects we will
be working on include the following:
. Sweeping the streets of leaf litter
. Improving the temporary salt and sand storage area
. Repairing catch basins and curb and gutter in th~~ Gardens and Greens new public streets
. Repairing various streets sections, including Croixwood Boulevard
. Trimming tree branches that obstruct signs and sight lines
. Repairing and replacing old signs
. Dredging various channels, ditches and holding ponds
. Removing underground storage tanks at Nelson Lift Station
. Paint striping curbs and streets
. Repairing catch basins and manholes
. Jetting trouble spots in the sanitary sewer
. Preparing plow trucks, loaders and graders for winter
In addition to these items, we are also contemplating options for a new public works facility.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
FR: Steve Russell, Community Development Director ~
DA: September 13,1996
RE: APPEAL OF PLANNING COMMISSIO~ TIE VOTE (DENIAL) OF SPECIAL
USE PERMIT REQUEST FOR A BUILDING ADDITION TO GREELEY
HEAL THCARE CENTER. CASE NO. SUP/96-52
Background
The planning commission reviewed the special use permit request at their meeting of
August 12, 1996 (staff report attached). At that meeting, neighborhood concerns were
expre$s,ed regarding traffic, parking and trash pick up (minutes of meeting attached).
As described in the application packet, the therapy center addition should not increase
the site parking demand because the services are currently provided at the location by
existing staff. The addition is needed to meet state requirements.
Currently, the facility provides 29 parking spaces. The site plan shows how 33 spaces
can be provided. The four additional spaces would be provided off the Greeley Street
driveway. The parking requirements for nursing homes is one space for each five
guests plus one space for each employee maximum shift.
For the Greeley Healthcare Center the requirement would be 60 spaces (17 for 83 beds
and 43 one for each employee). A listing of healthcare center employment is attached.
Additional landscaping will be provided along the building perimeter to soften the
buildings effect and improve the sites appearance. The proposal shall add four
additional parking spaces to accommodate existing healthcare center activity.
Recommendation: Decision on request.
Conditions of Approval:
1. Four additional parking spaces will be provided, total 33 spaces.
2. Trash pick up shall be once a week after 6:30 am in the morning.

RE: Case No. SUP/96-52. A Special Use Permit for a building addition to house therapy
services for facility residents located at 313 South Greeley Street in the RB, Two Family
Residential District. James Forberg, applicant.
Dear Council Members:
The above referenced SUP was denied by the Planning Commission on a three to three vote at the
scheduled hearing on Monday, August 12, 1996. In our opinion the Commission members were
swayed by those neighboring residents who feel that the proposed project would result in an increase
~ in t~e resident population of the facility with a corresponding increase in traffic and parking problems in
the area. There were also concerns raised regarding existing conditions of trash pick-up and
commercial delivery vehicle traffic.
e
For the record, the owner had included in the application a written statement that assured the
Planning Commission that two on-site parking spaces displaced by the addition would be replaced on
site and that the facility resident capacity and staffing would not change. Therefore the existing
parking and traffic conditions would remain as they are at present. A subsequent check with the
planning office showed no record of any complaints being registered in the past regarding the facility
b~~m !
We believe that the Planning Commission members responded to concerns of the neighbors which
have no basis in fact. The most important issue that was not considered is that the facility's therapy
areas are not in conformance with Department of Health regulations. The proposed therapy addition
would resolve this problem and allow the facility to improve the level of resident care.
We wish to exercise our right to appeal the Planning Commission's decision in this matter.

Comprehensive Plan District: Two-Family Residential
Zoning District: RB
.'
Applicant's Name: James Forberg
Type of Application: Special Use Permit
Project Description: A Special Use Permit for a building addition to house therapy
services for the residents at the Greeley Health Care Center.
e
Discussion:
The proposal is for a 2,817 square foot addition to the Greeley Healthcare Center. The
addition is for therapeutical services including physical, occupational and speech
therapy. These therapy services currently are provided in several locations within the
existing building. The Minnesota Department of Health has issued a deficiency to the
facility that only can be corrected by consolidating therapy services in one location.
The 2,817 square foot addition will be on the southeast side of the building (black area
shown on attached drawing). The building materials will be the same as the existing
building, brick and concrete. The project will not generate additional traffic since
resident capacity and staffing will not change. Two new parking spaces will replace two
parking spaces displaced by the addition.
""-
Conditions of Approval:
1. No additional lighting.
2. No additional signage.
3. All building code requirements shall be met.
.
Recommendation:
Approved as conditioned.
Findings:
The proposed use will not be injurious to the neighborhood or otherwise detrimental to
the public welfare and will be in harmony with the general purpose of this ordinance.

Case No. SUP/96-S 1 A special use permit for a graphic design sign for the
building located at 301 S. Second St. in the CBD, Central Business District.
Mark Balay, applicant.
Ed Hocksford represented the applicant.
Mr. Roetman asked why a special use permit is needed. Mr. Russell said the
...
question is whether the graphic amounts to off-site advertising for the
Andiamo; off-site advertising is not allowable.
Mr. Hocksford said the graphic is intended to complete the mural theme on
the exterior of the building; also Andiamo is the name of the banquet hall.
Mr. Wiedne~, seconded by Mr. Roetman, moved approval as conditioned; all
in favor.
Case W'o: SUP/96-S2 A special use permit for a building addition to house
therapy services for facility residents located at 313 S. Greeley St. in the
RB, Two Family Residential District. James Forberg, applicant.
e
James Forberg, architect, and Cheryl La Follette, representing Beverly
Enterprises, appeared regarding the request.
Frank Rheinberger, representing his mother, Margaret, 818 W. Olive St.;
Greg Lawrence, 814 W. Olive St.; and Lori Bjorkman, 819 W. Olive St.,
spoke against the request. Concerns centered on existing traffic problems
and existing on-street parking by staff/visitors; the potential for
creating additional traffic problems by adding new beds or more staff in
the future.
Mr. Forberg and Ms. La Follette explained the request would not create the
need for any additional parking -- there are no plans for new staff and the
patient population would remain the same as mandated the state's
moratorium on additional nursing home beds Two parking spaces would be
lost, but two spaces would be added to the south parking area. Mr. Forberg
said there is the potential for perhaps five or six additional spaces to the
west and along the building.
-
I
Ms. La Follette explained the addition is needed to house therapy services
for residents required by state and federal mandates; services previously
,\
" ~
. r- ,..' \.,
provided in hospitals, are now provided by 'nursing homes, she explained.
Currently there is not adequate space to provide the required services; day
room areas and hallways often have to be used, she said. Several staff e
members also described the space problem.
There was some discussion about the required parking spaces based on
staff and visitors.
Mr. Wiedner suggested the facility had outgrown the physical structure
and a move might be more approp~i9te. Mr. Zoller asked about the
possibility of purchasing the building on the corner (of Greeley and Olive);
the architect said that is not an option as it is a wooden structure and
would not meet fire code.
Mr. Wiedner, seconded by Mr. Zoller, voted to deny the request. Vote was 3-
3, with Mrs. Bealka, Mr. Fontaine and Mr. Roetman voting against denial.
Mr. Russell noted the 3-3 vote amounts to a denial. The applicant can
appeal !~ the City Council within 1 0 days, Mr. Fontained explained.
Case No. SUP /96-53 A special use' permit for construction of an
elementary school located 1/4 mile east of Highway 15 on Highway 12. A
Independent School District 834, applicant. .,
Representing School District 834 were Dan Parker, business manager; Greg
Hollings, engineer; and Rick Dahl of BWBR Architects.
Mr. Parker said the hope is to break ground for the new school sometime
this fall. The Stillwater Township Town Board approved the SUP the week
prior to the Planning Commission meeting.
Mr. Fontaine pointed out that the SEH report defines several traffic issues
and expressed his personal concern about having just one access to the
site. Mr. Parker said the original request was for two access points, but
the county allowed just one. Mr. Hollings said he believed adjustments can
be made to address the issues raised in the SEH report.
Mr. Dahl described the building and site design plans.
Mr. Zoller expressed his concern about the absence of sewer and water on
site and questioned whether the drainage is to Long Lake. Mr. Russell said
the drainage flows under County Road 12 and to the north. Mr. Russell also
pointed out that one of Stillwater Township's conditions of approval is

Dear Neighbor of Greeley Healthcare Center:
We are inviting you to attend a meeting at our health care center to answer questions and discuss
any concerns regarding our proposed therapy addition to the south side of our existing building.
Topics to be discussed include:
*
Greeley Healthcare Center's commitment to continue to be the premiere health care facility
in the St. Croix Valley.
*
I..
Greeley Healthcare Center's desire to create a state-of-the-art-facility to enable our residents
to continue to return home after rehabilitation.
* Greeley Healthcare Center's vision to enhance services to those in need of nursing and
rehabilitation services in the St. Croix Valley.
*
Greeley Healthcare Center's desire to continue to be a good neighbor, therefore:
· no additional employees will be added as a result.
· no additional beds due to MN law.
· waste pick-up times have been adjusted to accommodate neighbors' concerns.
Please join us for coffee on September 10, 1996 at 7:00 p.m. You will have an opportunity to

proposed area for the new therapy edition.
We hope you can join us for the meeting. Your support is appreciated as we continue to strive to

Re: OT Space in Dayroom Area
PLAN FILE #295
Dear Ms. Lund:
The Engineering Services Section reviewed the proposal to replace
a folding partition with a permanent partition in the south dayroom
. in a meeting with Mr. James Forberg on October 23, 1995. In order
-. to "complete the plan review and approval, we require additional
information and/or plan/specification changes detailed below.
A.
The following items pertain to Minnesota Department of Health
regulations for State l~censure of nursing homes:
1. No approval has been given to convert dayroom space for
any other use. The OT activities have been occupying
dayroom space, perhaps for a long time, without approval.
.
2. Dayroom/dining space shown on facility plans provides
sightly more than 20 square feet per bed. The OT would
reduce this figure further.
B. The following items pertain to compliance with Federal
requirements for certification under the Medicaid and Medicare
programs (Life Safety Code NFPA No. 101, CHPT 12, 1985):
Construction: (existing).
1.
The propo~ed permanent wall would not be required since
the space in question must remain Dayroom.
We request that you submit the required documentation covering the
aforementioned items so that we can complete our plan review and
approval. Please refer to Plan #295.

Dear City Council Members:
As ~e manager of Social Services and discharge planning at Lakeview Hospital, it is my ,
re8l?onsibility to see that people who neednursinghomepla~e~ent get it. ,The vast '
, majoiity ofpatients in our hospital;who,need nursing home placement wish to remain in
, Stillwaterfor this care. ,- - -, -
Currently, our three local nursing homes are not always able to meet the demands for
nursing home beds, and Stillwater residents are sent out of this c01llIllUJ?ity to receive the
careai1d treatment they need. ,Sending these people out. of the community places an
unnecessary burden on the patients, and their loved ones who have to drive 'out of town to
visit them Recomending that Greeley Heaithcare decertify beds to make room for their
rehab addition will make the n-irrsingbome bed shortage even worse than it is today. .
Greeley Healthcare Center's proposal:will only benefit the residents of this Conmiunity.
I hope the City Council is able to find a resolution for Greeley Healthcare Center's needs
that does not reduce the number of available nursing home 'beds or level of rehab service
provided. - -, -

To Whom It May Concern:
.' .
I write in support of Greeley Health Care Center's request for permission to proceed with a
building addition to house ther~py servicef: for their residents. The facility needs- to build the
addition in order to comply with state regulations and solve long-standing space needs for therapy
services. It is obvious that a great deal of care has been given to the development of the building
plans and to working with surrounding neighbors.
As a contracted chaplaincy service I have had fifteen years of contact with the Greeley
~ administration and staff. We are fortunate to have such a fine health care facility in our
eonubunity and we need to care for the service needs of its residents. I am certain that the facility
will continue to be concerned about both the needs ofits residents and those of its neighbors.

We, the undersigned core members of The Greeley Healthcare
Center Family Council are very much in favor of the addition
to their facility to increase their ability to do more therapy.
At present the therapy space is very small/limited and by increas-
ing the therapy space they would be able to help more people be-
come more independent.

To whom it may concern:
I live at 407 South Greeley Street and have twice been a resident at Greeley
Health Care Center. I felt the care was wonderful, only the area of the therapy
room was really small. They need more space for therapy and there also is not
mUCR privacy in the current room.
As a neighbor and former resident of Greeley Health Care Center I see no
reason to oppose the proposed additiqn; it is very much needed. The girls don't
have room to turn around in there. They definitely need it.

I am writing to support the need for a larger room for therapies at Greeley Health
Care Center.
J..
I have lived at 226 N. Greeley Street for 49 years and have also been a patient
at Greeley Health Care Center. The therapy space now is way too small. They
do a marvelous job, but they don't have enough room for all of their equipment.
The therapists just donlt have the room to work. Therapy is a very large part of
the services provided and it allowed me to return to my home.
In no way do I see the reason for any objections.

The ttlerapists definitely need more room because there's no place to work. I
currently live at Greeley Health Care Center and I had therapy here. When I
had it we sometimes had to go in the hallway. or it was so crowded it was like
one person was on top of another in the therapy room.
I hope they don't have to fight for a long time to get it before all the therapists
quit and we don't have anything.
Thank you and Sincerely,

Mr. Gene Bealka
St1llwater City Council
711 Lake Dr
St1llwater, Minnesota 55082
Dear Councilman Bealka:
I am wr1t1ng to you 1n reference to the proposed additIon to the Greeley Health
Care Center, Wh1Ch 1S on the agenda for next Tuesday's City Council meet1ng, as
a foliow-up to our telephone conversation of last week.
As I told you on the phone my wife and I v1gorously oppose th1S expansion. We
live directly south of the Greeley Health Care Center and are the c1ty
residents who would be the most adversely affected by this proposed expansion.
We feel most strongly that the expansion would have great adverse effect on the
ne1ghborhood 1n terms of 1ncreased night lights (both from windows and cars in
the parking lot), increased building and traffic noise both day and night, and
also that the additional 1500 square feet (approximately) of brick and glass
frontage (w1th rooftop heating/cooling units) on Oak Street will dramatically
1ncrease the commercial look of the block.
The two additional parking spaces with which the architect wishes to replace
those lost by the addItion are sited to be directly across from our dining-room
window, and at ten o-clock at night when the shift changes a glare of like that
of Spotl19hts will illuminate our home. The Greeley Health Care Center will
become an Intrusion into our home.
We fear for the future as well. The plans seem to indicate a ten-fold increase
in square footage alloted to physical therapy. Since the patients will not
increase by that amount, we can only assume future use of this facility for
out-patient business. The Greeley Health Care Center denies this, but th1S
large expansion, with a door and sidewalk to the street certa1nly looks 1 ike a
front-door operation to us. There is nothing to prevent the Center from doing
such out-patient business, with its increase 1n traffic and on-the-street
parking, In the future. AgaIn, this will commercialize the neighborhood.
AdditIonally, we are concerned that the neighborhood will lose one of its most
beautiful trees, that magnificent maple in the courtyard. Other trees may be
lost in the expansion process as well. The beautiful grassy courtyard area,
where we have observed many lawn parties and holiday celebrations for the
residents of the Greeley Health Care Center, will become a small, br1ck-walled
concrete patio. Every resident whose room faces the current courtyard will see
brick walls in the future, instead of a grassy lawn with trees, shrubs, birds
and neighbors.
e
My wife and I both believe in the mission of the Greeley Health Care Center. I
have had two aunts I ive there for a combined total of nearly twenty years, and
they received good, tender care. Several of our friends have also had relatives
there w1th similar treatment and care.
- ~ a.
Councllman Bealka
Greeley Health Care Center, page k
e
Nevertheless, we as Clty resldents shouid not have our property devalued in
order that tne Greeley Health Care Center owners may more easily make a proflt.
Tnere are alternatlve Solutlons to their therapy space problem. The Greeley
Health Care Center owners need to seek out those which will not additionally
commerclalize our nelghborhood.
Please remember that the Stillwater City Plannlng Commisslon did NOT support
th i s e:<pansion. The members had spec if ic reasons for thelr NO-vote.
We ask you to vote NO on this proposed expansion. It would ultimately detract
from our family's quality of life; it would detract from the quality of the
neighborhood; it would detract from the quality of I ife of the residents of the
Greeley Health Care Center; it would detract from the quality of the City of
Stillwater.
We wlll be at Tuesday's meetlng.
Thank you.

MEMORANDUM
e TO: Mayor and Council
FR: City Coordinator
RE: Solid Waste contract fees
DA: September 13, 1996
.'
Discussion:
Subsequent to the workshop meeting with representatives of United Waste I met with the reps to
further discuss the proposal they made to reduce the collection fees. The reduction also included
the proposal to establish a one day a week (Thursday) pickup of appliances. United Waste
intends to contract with an organization that is certified to pickup appliances - especially
appliances that contain freon or other types of gas as well as mercury and PCBs (see attached
letter to United Waste from ARCA, Inc.). United WaSte contends that their costs will increase in
the short term but will decrease in the long term with this arrangement.
~
In any event the contractor is offering to provide the following cost reduction for establishing the
new appliance pickup schedule and also because of reduced tipping fees at the RDF plant:
e
Container size
Reduction (Jnonthly)
30 gallon
60 gallon
90 gallon
Senior rate
$ .24 (13.75 - .24 = 13.51)
.35 (17.75 -.35 = 17.40)
.69 (19.75 - .69 = 19.06)
.18 (12.00 - .18 = 11.82)
United Waste has also provided a "waste characterization and indemnification
agreement". The agreement appears to be as much an indemnification by the city as it is by the
hauler. I would recommend that the City Attorney review the agreement to determine if it is in
the best interest of the city.
I would recommend that the Council approve the rate reduction and the change in appliance
pickup policy. The city newsletter, which will be going out next week, contains information
related to the appliance pickup change and other items. I would recommend that the changes be
approved even if there is a problem with the indemnification agreement. In other words if we
could keep the issues separate. I will be prepared to discuss this further with you at the meeting.
e
Recommendation:
Council consider approval of rate reduction, appliance schedule change and waste'
characterization and indemnification agreement.

AGREEMENT RESPECTING WASTE CHARACTERIZATION AND INDEMNIFICATION
A Subsidiary of United Waste Systems, Inc. is referred to below as (the "Hauler'').
This Agreement dated as of the date set out below (together with any included service agreement/contract. and or consistent waste generator form) is
between the Hauler, a Minnesota corporation, and the Customer referred to below (the "Customer'').
a. The Customer shall from time to time, promptly, upon the Hauler's request provide the Hauler with a full, complete and accurate written waste
characterization report (a "Report"), which:
describes Customer's waste to be delivered to the Hauler under service agreements or otherwise ("Waste''):
Classify the Waste as required under all applicable federal, state or local law; and
. .
describes completely all processes generating or involving the Waste, which shall include, but not be limited to, the proper name, EPA identifi-
cation number and CAS number of each substance used in those processes.
The Customer also shall provide with the Report material safety data sheets for any substances identified in the description of waste-generating
or waste-involving processes.
The Customer further covenants, represents, and warrants that all waste delivered to the Hauler, including each unit or container of waste, shall
conform to the description of the Waste in Customer's then most recent report.
b. Should the Hauler from time to time require the Customer to furnish a sample of the Waste and/or analytical to the Hauler, the Customer shall do so
promptly. Customer covenants, represents and warrants that each such sample will be a true representative sample of Customer's entire waste
stream. The submission of a sample to the Hauler for laboratory analysis does not relieve the Customer of its obligation to provide a written
description of the Waste and does not affect the Customer's covenant, representation and warranty of such description of the Waste in the Customer's
then most recent Report.
c. In the event tluft the Hauler has reason to believe that the Waste or any unit or container thereof does not in any way conform to the description
thereof set forth in the then most recent Report or consistent generator report, whether or not said Waste has previously been accepted by the Hauler
as confonning or nonconforining, the Hauler may revoke its acceptance of th~ Waste.
Upon phoning and written notification of revocation of acceptance, title, risk or loss and all other incidents of ownership shall revest in the _
Customer. .,
Forthwith upon such notice, the parties shall seek to agree on necessary measures for the handling, transportation, and/or disposal of the Waste
at the sole expense of Customer.
If the parties cannot within 24 hours reach such agreement the Hauler may, in addition to any other remedies at law, in equity or hereunder, return
said Waste to the Customer at the premises (or the entrance to the premises) from which the Waste was removed, and the Customer agrees to
accept the same. The Customer agrees to payor reimburse the Hauler for all reasonable costs of handling, storage, administration, transportation,
disposal and/or remediation costs incurred by the Hauler on behalf of the Customer.
e
d. Indemnification
The Hauler hereby agrees that, provided the Customer has not breached any covenant, representation or warranty set out herein, the Hauler shall
indemnify and hold the Customer and each of its officers, directors, employees and agents hannless from any and all losses, damages, suits,
penalties, fines, costs, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees) incurred or suffered by Customer directly arising out of,
caused by or resulting from the willful rnisconduc~ or negligence of the Hauler.
The Customer hereby agrees to indemnify and hold the Hauler and each of its officers, directors, employees and agents harmless from any and all
losses, damages, suits, penalties, fines, costs, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees) incurred or suffered by any of them
arising out of, caused by or resulting from the Customer's negligence, willful misconduct or breach of any covenant, warranty, representation,
tenn or condition referred to or set forth in this Agreement.

RE: UPDATE ON SALE OF CITY OWNED UBe SITE TO GERRARD
DEVELOPMENT ·
The city has received word that Gerrard Realty has aborted the condominium project.
The land sale was to close by September 20, 1996.
At this point, the developer is requesting a 30 day option to reanalyze the feasibility of
an apartment project. Any new project would require regular planning review (design
permit, Heritage Preservation Commission and special use permit, Planning
Commi~sion). Based on the last project, this would take a minimum of 4 to 6 months.
It is suggested that the Council consider opening the site up for general developer
interest for a housing or combined housing/public parking project. To do this, an RFP
would be prepared and advertised.
The site was originally purchased for parking and use of it for parking including
financing options could be considered.

RE: The Bluffs of Stillwater / use Lumber Storage Site

Dear Mayor Kimble:
e
We have decided to abort our condominium development because sales were
much slovver than projected and reaching our sales goal to achieve conventional
" financing was becoming unrealistic.
Therefore. at the present time. we are looking for a 30-day extension to the
option on the real estate so we may analyze this as a apartment development.
The purpose for the additional 30 days is to allow us sufficient time to reanalyze
the complete financial picture such as, hard costs, soft costs, income via rents,
taxes. etc. If granted this extension, we would then make a new proposal to the
city based on an apartment development.
Thank you very much for the opp~rtunity to address the council. With your help,
I feel that we have great potential to build a very successful apartment complex.

SUBJECT: Pedestrian Walkway Through Autumn Woods Addition
DISCUSSION
Attached is a letter from Richard Miller of 801 Autumn Way. In his memo Mr. Miller points out
his perception of a hazardous walkway between Autumn Way and Lily Lake School. Due to this
concern, city staff has looked into this issue to determine if the proposed walkway is safe and
wheth~r ,or not there are alternative locations or designs available.
The attached map shows the approximate location of the proposed walkway. The purpose of this
walkway is to provide access from the surrounding neighborhoods to Lily Lake School, also it
provides connection to other trail systems whIch creates a network of trails through multiple
neighborhoods. Autumn Way will have a sidewalk and a pedestrian trail through the woods
which connects up to the Co. Rd. 5 trail system. A pedestrian crossing exists at the intersection
of Croixwood Blvd. which links the trail systems to the Croixwood neighborhood.
The main issue raised by Mr. Miller is the steepness of the proposed walkway. The walkway
will have a maximum slope of approximately 7%. In the City of Stillwater a walkway with this
gradient is not uncommon. For comparison, Myrtle St. has a maximum slope of approximately
13% so its sidewalks are nearly twice as steep as the one in question. Other sidewalks which
exceed 7% conclude South Third Street, Pine Street, Chestnut Street, Mulberry Street, just to
name a few. Simply having a steep section of walkway in and of itself does not create an
inherently unsafe condition. The proximity to high volume traffic, hazardous obstacles, or lack
of a landing zone near intersections all can reduce safety. In the case of this walkway, the traffic
volumes on Autumn Way are fairly low and there are no obstacles in the sidewalk or sight line
problems. In addition, as the walkway approaches Autumn Way it flattens out significantly
which creates a significant landing zone.
In weighing the relative safety of any design we need to compare it to other alternatives. Staff
has looked at four alternatives including eliminating the walkway completely, constructing the
walkway in a new location, constructing the walkway with steps and constructing the walkway
with barriers. In looking at the option of no trailway, staff sees a potential problem as this would
make bikers use Willard Street and West Street as bike routes. In both cases these streets are
,
steeper that the proposed walkway and both intersect high volume streets (Co. Rd. 5 and Pine
. Street). Therefore, by eliminating the walkway we may actually increase the overall risk to
pedestrians and bikers. Also eliminating the walkway destroys the integrity of the city's trail
system.
e
Staff also looked at other alternative locations. Due to the nature of the Autumn Way
development there are no good alternative trail locations. The specific location of the trail was
located by the developer. Another alternative would involve constructing steps in the steeper
sections. Adding steps to the walkway increases the hazard to pedestrians during winter months
and any bikers who are unfamiliar with the area. Fip.ally staff looked at placing of some type of
barrier at the top of the hill which would require bikers to slow down prior to entering the steep
section of the hill. Looking at this option we determined that barriers would not slow down any
bikers who choose to accelerate down a hill and would also create a obstacle in the pedestrian
trail which could itself create a hazard.
The original proposal appears to be the safest overall proposal given the site constraints and the
elevation differences in the area. This proposal also meets the American Disabilities Act
Standards and maintains a continuous pedestrian trail system through this part of the city. One
option for insuring the safety of bikers on this section of trail would be to place signage both at
the ton-and bottom of the trailway. Advisory signs at the top and a stop sign with stop ahead
sign near the bottom are options that we may wish to explore.
RECOMMENDATION
e
Staff recommends that we require the developer to install the pedestrian trail in the location as
originally designed, and explore possible signage options.

e City Council Members
Stillwater, Minnesota
FYI
Dear Council Member,
I would like to express my concern regarding a well intentioned idea that has resulted in a
dangerous situation. I am referring to the 'walking path' that starts at Lily Lake Elementary
School and passes through the small housing a~dition immediately South of the school.
.
e
The newly installed 'walking path' was, as I understand, a requirement imposed upon the
builder by the City Council. The intent, I'm told, was to provide the school children
attending Lily Lake Elementary a safe alternative route to use. The problem is one of
mixing a steep ramp, young children and traffic. My concern is based upon tragic
experience with a similar situation, and- not just an overly active imagination. In the late
1960's, I was living at 1464 Parkwood Drive in Woodbury. The 'walking path' connected a
park area with Parkwood Drive and passed between the houses, in the same manner as the
ramp behind Lily Lake Elementary school. The children in the area quickly learned that a
steep ramp is a great place to slide in the winter and run bikes in the summer. B~aver
Richter, our young neighbor across the street and down three doors, lost his life because of
the deadly mix of steep ramps, children and traff~c. The Richter family, the neighbors, and
the unfortunate soul driving the car (who had absolutely no /chance of avoiding Beaver)
will never forget the terrible lesson of well intended ideas that are actually deadly traps for
children. The driver was well within speed limits, was duly diligent in watching for
trouble, etc. He just happened to be there when Beaver and his friend were taking
advantage of this wonderful steep ramp.
We have lived at 801 Autumn Way since August 15 and have already experienced what
looks like a tragedy in the making; Le., a steep ramp, children and unsuspecting traffic. You
are welcome to stop by any evening just before 9 PM and watch a young boy who .
consistently, without any lights, without benefit of street lights, flies past out driveway,
down Autumn Way and across County 5. It's just a matter of time before other youngsters
discover the ramp. The first night I witnessed this routine was very dark: almost pitch
black. I know the boy never saw me standing there, with my dog, just a few feet from him.
The City of Woodbury took corrective action, but not in time to save Beaver. I urge the
City Council of Stillwater to reconsider their 'walking path' decision, to visit the site and
see first hand what can (and will) happen, and to eliminate the problem before a child gets
hurt and/ or killed. We love the idea of visits from our three grandchildren that attend
Lily Lake Elementary...but really dread the consequences of leaving things as they exist.

SUBJECT: Proposed Stop Signs at Myrtle and Brick Streets
~
DISCUSSION
e
Attached is a petition from Stillwater residents requesting stop signs on Myrtle Street at Brick.
Myrtle Street is a county road and therefore any traffic control must be implemented by the
county. As with all traffic control devices, installation of stop signs should be carefully analyzed
using sound engineering principals. Therefore, the best approach to this situation would be to
pass the request on to the county.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends council direct staff to prepare a letter to the county requesting they respond to
the attached petition.

City Council Members
216 N. 4th Street
Stillwater, MN 55082
e
Dear Commissioners and Council Members:
As residents who live along and near Myrtle Street where it becomes County
Road 12, we are very concerned about the failure of the county and City of Stillwater to
install stop signs at Myrtle and Brick Streets. '.'
Police records will confirm that there is a definite problem with speeders on
Myrtle Street, particularly the area from Deerpath to Echo Lane where vehicles coming
into' Stillwater on County Road 12 rarely slow to the 30 mph posted speed near Jaycee
Field. Vehicles heading west down the hill from Owens and Myrtle pick up speed and
continue to accelerate as they pass Ramsey Park, knowing the posted speed limit
before Jaycee Field is 50 mph.
l:l1e four block stretch of Myrtle Street between Center and Brick Streets is
unaffectionately referred to as the "Stillwater 500" by some residents, and there have
been many accidents between pedestrians, bicyclists, and other vehicles in this area
which were due to excessive speeding. It may not be apparent to city and county
administrators, but the number of children living in this area has increased
significantly in the last ten years. Must one of these innocent children be seriously hurt
or killed before authorities acknowledge the gravity of this problem???
Inquiries to the City Council and Washington County Administration have been
answered with information and promises--but no action. Fifteen years ago, the
Stillwater City Council said Washington County was responsible for County Road 12
from Brick Street west. At that time, the County said no action could be taken without a
feasibility study that would cost over $5,000, and no funds had been allocated for this
purpose. Two years ago, one resident--the parent of two small children living at the
intersection of Myrtle and Brick--was told that a study had determined most of the
increased traffic was due to Stillwater residents and others who were using County
Road 12 and Myrtle as a "shortcur downtown to avoid the congestion of 36 to 95 .
Supposedly, when the new bridge is finished, the new route will decrease the amount
of traffic currently using Myrtle Street to get to Wisconsin faster.
While the new bridge is under construction, it seems logical that there will be an
e
e,
.... t.. ~
.,. ...~
increase in traffic into Stillwater via Myrtle Street. Also, the ever-growing population of
Stillwater, which is steadily moving westward, plus the construction of a new school at
the intersection of County Roads 12 and 15, is a sure sign that traffic will become even
more of a problem.
Why is installation of stop signs at Myrtle and Brick Streets met with resistance?
Affected residents want action, and we want an answer NOW. Surely the monetary
cost is insignificant in light of the potential for tragedy. Please have stop signs
installed without further delay.

Neighborhood Residents

prepare and solicit Request for Proposals (RFPs) for auditing services for the City, Water Board,
and Fire Relief Association. This process is a recommended practice of the Government Finance
Officers Association (G.F.O.A.) and timely for the City of Stillwater. (I have been with the City
for eight years and we haven't requested RFPs during that time.)
~
ANALYSIS:
Staff has prepared a comprehensive RFP for auditing services that details the nature of
the services, description of the government, time requirements, assistance to be provided to the
auditor, report preparation, proposal requirements, and evaluation procedures. Appendix A
through E are the various forms to be completed.
RECOMMENDATION:
Inasmuch as the City, Water Board and Fire Relief Association spend in excess of
$28,000 per year for auditing services, staff is recommending City Council approval of the
Request for Proposals for Auditing Service.

Burlington Northern is requesting a $6,000 increase in the fee to $10,000 with a new
indefinite term lease (#547179) and yearly increases based on the Consumer Priced Index-
Urban (C.P.1. - U). Also, this could be included as part of the levee wall project.

INDEFINITE TERM LEASE
No. 547179
Re: 545488,6-15-91
TIllS LEASE made this 15th day of June, 1996 between BURLINGTON NORTHERN RAILROAD COMPANY, a Delaware
corporation, hereinafter called "Lessor", and the CITY OF STILLWATER, whose post office address is 216 N. Fourth Street,
Stillwater, MN 55082 hereinafter called "Lessee", .'
WITNESSETH:
In consideration of the covenants hereinafter contained to be kept and performed by Lessee, Lessor hereby leases to Lessee
upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth the following described Property ("Property") situated in the City of Stillwater,
County of Washington, State of Minnesota:
As shown hatched black on attached print marked Exhibit "A", dated June 15, 1996 and made a part hereof.
i. Tlris.Lease shall commence on June 15, 1996, and may be terminated by either party, at any time, by serving at least
thirty (30) days' written notice of termination upon the other party, and upon expiration of the time specified in such notice, this
Lease and all rights of Lessee shall absolutely cease. Upon any such termination, Lessor shall retain as a charge for use of the
e Property, a minimum sum equal to three (3) months rental, and any excess unearned portion of the annual rental paid in advance
shall be refunded to Lessee. .
2. Lessee shall use and occupy said Property for the sole and exclusive purpose of maintaining and operating thereon a
site for parking and a street. Lessee shall respond to Lessor's reasonable inquiries regarding the use or condition of the Property, and
Lessor may enter the Property at reasonable times to check on same.
3. (a) Lessee shall pay rent of Ten Thousand and 00/100 dollars ($10,000.00) annually in advance, as rental for said
Property. Lessor reserves the right to change rental rates as conditions warrant. Billing or acceptance by Lessor of any rental shall
not imply a definite term or otherwise restrict either party from canceling this Lease as provided herein. Either party hereto may
assign any receivables due it under this Lease, provided, however, such assignments shall not relieve the assignor of any of its rights
or obligations under this Lease.
(b) Commencing on the first annual rental anniversary date and continuing on all succeeding annual anniversaries, the
base rental shall be adjusted in accordance with the changes in the Consumer Price Index indicated in the column for Urban Wage
Earners and Clerical Workers, U.S. city average (hereinafter called the "Index"), published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S.
Consumer Price Index from the base index number (i. e., the index number current on the date of this Lease, or the index number
from the preceding year, whichever is more current) to the current index number.
If publication of the Consumer Price Index shall be discontinued, the parties hereto shall thereafter use in its place
comparable statistics on the cost of living for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers, as they shall be computed and published by
an agency of the United States or by a responsible financial periodical of recognized authority then to be selected by the Lessor.
(c) The rental shall be subject to further revision annually or at discretion of Lessor to adjust same to a fair market
value basis.
e
1
(d) Lessee acknowledges that Lessor utilizes the rental collection system involving direct deposit of monies received
through' financial institution selected by Lessor, which precludes Lessor's ability to exercise rejection of a rental payment before
Lessee's check is cashed. Lessee agrees that as a condition of Lessor granting this Lease, Lessee hereby waives any right it may have
under law to force continuation of this Lease due to Lessor having accepted and cashed Lessee's rental remittance. Lessor shall have
the option of rejecting Lessee's payment by refunding to Lessee the rental amount paid by Lessee, adjusted as set forth in this Lease,
and enforcing the termination provisions of this Lease.
e
(e) Payment of rental specified herein is subject to a late payment charge of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per
month (18% per annum), or such lesser amount permitted by law, on balance past due over thirty (30) days. This shall also

granted on a non-exclusive basis. Lessor shall have the right to designate the location or route to be used. For the purpose of this _
Lease, access, whether specifically defined or not, is included under the definition of Property. Lessee understands and agrees that ..
Lessor shall apply all of these terms to any property adjacent to the Property which Lessee may occupy just as though the property
had been specifically described herein.
6. LESSOR DOES NOT WARRANT ITS TITLE TO THE PROPERTY NOR UNDERTAKE TO DEFEND
LESSEE IN THE PEACEABLE POSSESSION OR USE THEREOF. NO COVENANT OF QUIET ENJOYMENT IS
MADE. This Lease is made subject to all outstanding rights or interests of others. If the Property is subsequently found to be subject
to prior claim, this Lease shall terminate immediately on notice to that effect from Lessor. Lessee accepts this Lease subject to that
possibility. In case of eviction of Lessee by anyone, other than Lessor, owning or claiming title to or any interest in Property, Lessor
shall not be liable to Lessee for damage of any kind or to refund any rental paid hereunder, except to return the proportionate part of
any rental paid in advance.
7. Lessor reserves to itself, and others, right of access to its adjoining property and the right to construct, maintain, and
operate trackage, fences, pipelines, signal and communication facilities, telegraph, telephone, power, or other transmission lines, or
appurtenances or facilities of like character, upon, over, across, or beneath the Property, without payment of any sum for any
damage, including damage to growing crops, occasioned thereby. The foregoing rights, (except the right of access, which is
unconditional), shall not be exercised in a manner that unreasonably interferes with Lessee's use of the Property.
8. It is understood that Lessee has inspected the Property and takes it "AS IS, WHERE IS", and "WITH ALL FAULTS".
Lessor is not obligated by this Lease to make any changes, removals, or repairs of any kind nor to construct any fences. Lessee shall

9. (a) In addition to the rent, Lessee shall pay all taxes, utilities, and other charges which may become due or be levied
against the Property, against Lessee, against the business conducted on the Property or against improvements placed thereon during
the actual term hereof, even though such taxes, license fees or other charges may not become due and payable until after cancellation
of this Lease. Lessee agrees that Lessor shall not be required to furnish to Lessee any of the above services. If this is a transfer of an
a existing lease, Lessee must make arrangements with the present Lessee for payment of any delinquent and current taxes. If such
WI' arrangements are not made, Lessee agrees to pay all such taxes. If Lessor should make any such payments, Lessee shall reimburse
Lessor for all such sums.
(b) Should the Property be subject to special assessment for public improvements in the amount of Five Hundred
Dollars ($500.00) or less, Lessee shall promptly reimburse Lessor the amount in full. Should the assessment exceed Five Hundred
Dollars ($500.00), the rental herein shall be increased by twelve (12) percent per annum of the total.
/
(c) In case of nonpayment of rental, taxes, or other charges, the same shall, until paid, constitute a lien on any
buildings or other property owned by Lessee on the Property, foreclgsable according to law. Lessee shall not remove said buildings
or property until said rental, taxes, or other charges are paid, unless directed to do so by Lessor.
10. (a) Lessee shall not place, or permit to be placed, any material, structure, pole or other permanent or temporary
obstruction within 8-1/2 feet laterally of the center line or within 24 feet vertically from the top of the rail of any track or such
greater clearances as may be required by Lessor or Federal Railroad Authority requirements. If, by statute or order of public
authority, greater clearances shall be required, Lessee shall strictly comply with such statute or order.
(b) IF, ON APPLICATION BY LESSEE, EITHER OR BOTH THE LATERAL AND VERTICAL CLEARANCES
ARE PERMITTED TO BE REDUCED BY ORDER OF COMPETENT PUBLIC AUTHORITY, LESSEE SHALL
STRICTLY COMPLY WITH THE TERMS OF ANY SUCH ORDER, AND INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS
LESSOR, REGARDLESS OF ANY NEGLIGENCE OF LESSOR, FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, .

PROPERTY OR INJURY TO OR DEATH OF PERSONS OCCURRING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, BY REASON
OF SUCH REDUCED CLEARANCE.
e (c) Lessor's continued operations with knowledge of an unauthorized reduced clearance shall not constitute a waiver of the
foregoing covenants of Lessee or of Lessor's right to recover for resulting damages to property or injury to or death of persons.
11. Lessee shall not permit the existence of any nuisance on the Property; shall keep the same in clean and safe condition
and free of any explosive, flammable or combustible material which would increase the risk of fire, except such material necessary to
Lessee's business; shall not handle or store any potentially dangerous or toxic materials or hazardous materials; and shall not permit
the accumulation of junk, debris or other unsightly materials. Lessee shall at its sole expense keep the Property and any
improvements in good repair. Further, Lessee shall comply with all federal, state, local, and police requirements, regulations,
ordinances and laws respecting the Property and activities thereon. Lessee shall not permit to exist on the Property any treatment,
storage or disposal facility, as those terms are defined by the Federal Resources Conservation and Recovery Act.
12. (a) Lessee shall not create or permit any condition on the Property that could present a threat to human health or to the
environment. Lessee shall indemnify and hold harmless Lessor, regardless of any negligence of Lessor, from any suit or claim
growing out of any damages alleged to have been caused, in whole or in part, by an unhealthy, hazardous, or dangerous condition
caused by, contributed to, or aggravated by Lessee's presence on and use of the Property or Lessee's violation of any laws, ordinances,
regulations, or requirements pertaining to solid or other wastes, chemicals, oil and gas, toxic, corrosive, or hazardous materials, air,
water (surface or groundwater) or noise pollution, and the storage, handling, use, or disposal of any such material. Lessee shall give
Lessor timely notice of any release, violation of environmental laws or inspection or inquiry by governmental authorities charged
with enforcing environmental laws with respect to the Property. Lessee also shall give Lessor timely notice of all measures
undertaken by or on behalf of Lessee to investigate, remediate, respond to or otherwise cure such release or violation. In the event
that Lessor receives notice from Lessee or otherwise of a release or violation of environmental laws which occurred or is occurring
during the term of this Lease, Lessor may require Lessee, at Lessee's sole expense, to take timely measures to investigate, remediate,
respond to or otherwise cure such release or violation. Lessee shall bear the expense of all practices or work, preventative or
remedial, which may be required because of the condition or use of the Property, by Lessee or those claiming by, through or under
Lessee, during Lessee's period of occupancy. Lessee expressly agrees that the indemnification and hold harmless obligations it
e hereby assumes shall survive cancellation of this Lease. Lessee agrees that statutory limitation periods on actions to enforce these
obligations shall not be deemed to commence until Lessor has actual knowledge of any such health or environmental impairment,
and Lessee hereby knowingly and voluntarily waives the benefits of any shorter limitation period.
3
. Lessee shall respond A
to Lessor's reasonable inquiries regarding the use or condition of the Pr-ol3erty, and Lessor may eater the Property at sach reasonable .
times and upon reasonable notice to Lessee. Use or storage on the Pr-aperty of any hlmlFdoas materials not disolosed in this

property, whether real or personal, on Property will be in danger of injury, death or destruction incident to the operation of the
railroad, including, without limitation, the risk of derailment, fire, or inadequate clearance (including sight clearance or vision
obstruction problems at grade crossings on or adjacent to the Prope~), and Lessee accepts this Lease subject to such dangers.
(b) Lessee understands, as one of the material considerations of this Lease without which it would not be granted, that
Lessee assumes all risk of injury to or death of all persons, and damage to or loss or destruction of buildings, contents, or other
property (including animals) brought upon or in proximity to the Property by Lessee, or by any other person with the consent or
knowledge of Lessee, WITHOUT REGARD TO WHETHER SUCH BE THE RESULT OF NEGLIGENCE OR
MISCONDUCT OF ANY PERSON IN THE EMPLOY OR SERVICE OF LESSOR OR OF DEFECTIVE TRACKAGE,
EQUIPMENT, OR TRACK STRUCTURES. LESSEE HEREBY INDEMNIFIES AND AGREES TO PROTECT LESSOR
FROM ALL SUCH INJURY OR DEATH AND LOSS, DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION TO PROPERTY, INCLUDING
CLAIMS AND CAUSES OF ACTION ASSERTED AGAINST LESSOR BY ANY INSURER OF SAID PROPERTY
EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT PROXIMATELY CAUSED BY LESSOR'S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL.
MISCONDUCT.. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, HOWEVER, LESSEE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR
INJURY TO OR DEATH OF LESSOR'S EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS, OR ROLLING STOCK BELONGING TO LESSOR
OR OTHERS, OR SHIPMENTS OF THIRD PARTIES IN THE COURSE OF TRANSPORTATION, WHEN THIS
INJURY, DEATH OR DAMAGE IS PROXIMATELY CAUSED BY LESSOR'S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL
MISCONDUCT. e
(c) LESSEE ALSO AGREES TO INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS LESSOR, REGARDLESS OF ANY
NEGLIGENCE OF LESSOR, FROM ANY LOSS, DAMAGE, INJURY OR DEATH ARISING FROM ANY ACT OR
OMISSION OF LESSEE, LESSEE'S INVITEES, LICENSEES, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS, TO THE PERSON OR
PROPERTY OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND THEIR EMPLOYEES, AND TO THE PERSON OR PROPERTY OF
ANY OTHER PERSON OR CORPORATION WHILE ON OR NEAR THE PROPERTY.
(d) Whenever any employee, agent or contractor of Lessee makes any claim for personal injury or death against Lessor
within the meaning of the Federal Employers' Liability Act, or any applicable safety act, for any incident caused, wholly or in part,
by property, equipment, fixtures or condition belonging to or subject to the control of Lessee, or claims or alleges that he or she is an
employee of Lessor or is furthering the operational activities of Lessor, Lessee agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Lessor for all
losses, damages, costs or expenses related to such claim, regardless of Lessor's negligence.
(e) Lessor shall not be liable for lost electronic computer data or damage to computer system caused by electrical
power fluctuations and failures.
14. It is agreed that the provisions of Sections 10, 12, and 13 are for the equal protection of other railroad companies,
including National Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak), permitted to use Lessor's property.
15. Lessee shall not assign this Lease or any interest therein, or grant a security interest in any buildings or improvements
on the Property, or sublet, and no heir, executor, administrator, receiver, master, sheriff, trustee in bankruptcy, or other assignee by
operation of law shall assign or sublet, without the express prior written consent of Lessor. All the covenants and provisions of this

. occurring within fifty (50) feet of a railroad track, and any provision in the insurance policy to the contrary must be specifically
deleted. Each policy shall provide that it shall not be canceled or materially changed unless at least thirty (30) days' prior written

assignment or transfer of this Lease by operation of law, Lessor may, at its option, terminate this Lease by serving five (5) days'
notice in writing upon Lessee; but any waiver by Lessor of any default or defaults shall not constitute a waiver of the right to
terminate this Lease for any subsequent default or defaults, nor shall any such waiver in any way affect Lessor's ability to enforce any a
Section of this Lease. The remedy set forth in this section shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other remedies that ..,

termination, Lessee shall provide a Bill of Sale covering such improvements to Lessor.
23. If Lessee fails to surrender to Lessor the Property, upon any termination of this Lease, all liabilities and obligations of
Lessee hereunder shall continue in effect until the Property is surrendered; and no termination shall release Lessee from any liability
or obligation, whether of indemnity or otherwise, resulting from any ev:ents happening prior to the date of termination or the date, if

provision shall be ineffective solely to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, and this shall not invalidate the remainder of such
provision or any other provision of this Lease.

enforce that provision for any subsequent breach thereof.
29. If all or any part of the Property is subjected to taking under eminent domain laws, this Lease shall terminate from the

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and Council
FR: City Coordinator
RE: Penalty for late payment of utility bill
DA: September 13, 1996
Discussion:
..
The agenda includes the first reading of an ordinance amending the City Code by establishing an
penalty for late payment of utility bills. When the City adopted Ordinance No.821, Storm Water
Utility, it intended to establish a penalty for late payment of the entire utility bill which also
includes garbage, recycling, san sewer, storm water utility, a solid waste surcharge and sales tax
and not just for the storm water utility provided for in Ord No. 821. The new proposed ordinance
would ~Stablish a penalty for late payment of the entire utility bill and would become effective
October 1, 1996.
The staff would recommend that the penalty would be $10.00 and would apply to any utility bill
which would be more than 70 days in arrears (which is the time period contained in the previous
storm water utility ordinance).
Recommendation:
Council have first reading of ordinance establishing $10.00 penalty for delinquent utility bills.

MEMORANDUM
e TO: Mayor and Council
FR: City Coordinator
RE: Audio Visual project bid
DA: September 13, 1996
..
Discussion:
Accompanying this memo are the two bids the city received on the Audio Visual work for the
Council Chambers. Unfortunately the City only received two bids - one from A VI Systems
("A VI") for $106,593.05 and Electric Design Company for $158,453.41. However, I think the
lower bid (and there certainly was a wide range between the two bids!!) is close to what was
estimated (i.e. $110,000). .
e
In seeking bids the city advertised in four trade publications and the Gazette. The city also sent
j,.
the bid specs to 6 prospective bidders. Three of these bidders contacted the city and said that they
would not be bidding on the project because of the workload they presently had. I suspect this
may be the reason the city only received the two bids.
Marcy is in the process of determining the qualifications of the apparent low bidder which is
A VI. Unless there is some problem with the past work of A VI Systems, I would recommend
awarding the bid to them.
Recommendation:
Council consider awarding bid to A VI for Audio Visual system for Council Chambers.

It should be noted that the Metro System prices are taken from a contract that they have with
Hennepin County and the Healy Furniture prices are taken from a contract they have with the
State of Minnesota. Because their prices are based on a previous competitive bid process it
provid<<2s the City with prices that are very favorable. According to BWBR the prices of the
items to be purchased from Turning Point Business were also lower than prices received from
other vendors.

$65.001.99

Authorize purchase of office furniture from Metro Systems, Turning Point Business and Healy

Grams to Senator Mark Hatfield, Chairman, Senate Appropriations Committee. A
similar!etter was also sent to the following:
Senator Robe~ C. Byrd, Ranking Member, Senate Appropriations Committee
Senator Pete Domenici, Chairman, Energy and Water Appropriations Subcommittee
Senator Bennett Johnston, Ranking Member, Energy and Water Subcommittee
A joint letter, coming from two Senators that do not get together on very many things,
especially in an election year, is as strong a position as we can get. I have also
provided each Senator with "talking notes" to speak with the Appropriations leaders
personally, which they have agreed to do.
As of today, they have not scheduled the Conference Committee action, but it could
be set up at any time. I will be in Washington this week meeting with all the appropriate
people on the committee. Call me at 2021625-4356 if you have any questions.

WASHINGTON, DC 20510
e
August 21, 1996
The Honorable Mark Q. Hatfield ~
Chairman
Committee on Appropriations
S128, The Capitol
Washington, D.C. 20510
Dear Chairman Hatfield:
We want to thank you for the line item allocation of $1 million
for the Stillwater flood control project that you included in the
Energy and Water Appropriations Act for FY1997. While the full
Iundipg of $2.85 million for Stage II of the project was not
included in the bill, the funds you have provided will permit
project construction to continue without a year to 18-month
delay. We do understand the difficult task that your committee
has in making resources meet the increasing demands of the ~
nation's infrastructure. ..
Stage I of the project, the rebuilding of the existing 1,000 feet
of the levee, is now under construction. This work is scheduled
for completion in April of 1997. Stage II extends the levee
about 900 feet north on the riverfront of the St. Croix. Without
the extension, downtown Stillwater will remain vulnerable to the
annual flooding that occurs each spring, and such a delay could
create a situation in which much of the current work under Stage
I will be threatened.
We understand the House Appropriations Committee did not include
funding for the Stillwater project because the amended
authorization had not been passed by the Transportation and
Infrastructure Committee at the time the appropriations were
made. The House committee report for the Water Resources
Development Act of 1995 has now been filed. It increases the
authorization as did the Senate bill.
We urge you and the other Senate Energy and Water Appropriations
conferees to hold firm on the $1 million you allocated for this
project. It is very important that construction continue on
these flood control measures.

.. The objectives of this analysis are to
document those resources upon which
the park's significance and legislated
purposes are based, and to identify
those resources that shape riverway
experiences. Team members' share
information to better understand and
document the riverway's existing
landscapes, resources, and the
availability of potential experiences.
Informacion is pulled from all sources
, (including participants) concerning the
riverway and is consolidated on maps
and accompanying text. The identified
potential experience opportunities
available in each unit are compared in a
matrix form.

" ' ,
The' intent of management areas is to
identify what are acceptable resource
conditions and visitor experiences in the
park. The areas are the building blocks
for resource protection and visitor
management activities - they identify
how different types of areas in the
riveIWay could be managed to achieve
desirable resource and social
conditions. Each area prescribes
different actions with regards to the
types and levels of uses and facilities.
All potential management areas must be
consistent with the riveIWay's purposes.
We are focusing on developing the
range of potential management areas
that cover the range of experiences and
resource conditions to be provided in
the riveIWay. We will not be assigning
the areas to portions of the riveIWay in
this workshop.

TO:
Lower St. Croix Planning Task Force; Local Governments;
Interagency Contacts
FROM:
Buck Malick, Chair, Lower St. Croix Planning Task Force
Kate Hanson, Planning Coordinator
DATE:
Thursday, September 12, 1996.
This is a reminder of the "Management Concepts" workshop that will take
place September 24, 25 and 26. Afternoon sessions on these dates will be from
1 :00 -5:00 p.m. Evening sessions will be from 7:00 - 9:00 p.m.
This workshop, like the one held last April, will be facilitated by National
Park Service planners from Denver, Colorado. We're going to be building on the
work done last April, as well as information and ideas resulting from Task Force
meetings held throughout the summer, to identify landscape units and define
potential management areas. These, in turn, will form the basis of management
alternatives for the Cooperative Management Plan.
e Those of you who were at the September 10 Task Force meeting received
material providing more detailed information on the Management Concepts
workshop. Task Force members who weren't present will find this material
enclosed. In addition to an agenda, there are two handouts: one titled "Potential
Landscape Units", the second a memo from Steve Johnson regarding landscape
units. These are intended to give us a starting place for discussion, with the
expectation that the Task Force will want to consider this information.
To save mailing costs, we are targeting distribution of the handouts to
people who have been actively participating in the Task Force. They're also
available to others by calling Jessie Meschievitz at the Minnesota-Wisconsin
Boundary Area Commission: 715-386-9444 or 612-436-7131.
We hope that everyone on the Task Force will be able to attend all or a
portion of the workshop, because it will be an important step in developing the
updated management plan. If you need more information, please call Kate at 612-
439-7122 or Buck at 715-386-7010.
e
Notes from August 20 and 21 Meetings: Notes from the August meetings on
boating and other recreational uses were distributed at the Sept. 10 Task Force
meeting. To save mailing costs, we are not sending these to our entire mailing list
(which now numbers about 300). If you'd like copies, please call Jessie
Meschievitz at one of the numbers above.

Mr. Clayton Eckles
City of Stillwater
City Hall
Stillwater, MN 55082
Re: Long Lake----Maintaining minimum water level
North lake shore outlet #
Dear Mr. Eckles,
This is a follow up to our phone conversation today. I was given a video tape of a recent
City Council meeting session in whicn Jeff Davis of SEH discusses the water level of Long
Lake and Phase I outcome of a lake study being conducted. Today I also discussed my
concerns with Mr. Davis. He suggested that I write to the City about these concerns.
I have two main concerns. I heard nothing on the tape as to the need to maintain a minimum
water level that is needed for a designated recreational lake to remain as recreational. The
level of the lake today is about the lowest I have seen since my initial use of the lake about the
time I purchased property adjacent to the East lake shore in 1973. The current lake level is
about at the same low level experienced during the one drought year we had in the mid to late
80' s. At the current lake level, use of a boat such as a pontoon or other prop craft is at best
marginal due especially to the shallow areas between the three 'sections' of the lake. Despite
the low level, water has continued to flow out the North outlet up until about two weeks ago.
In bringing the minimum water level concern to the attention of Mr. Davis it appeared to me
that this aspect may be missing from the study (other than the DNR minimum level). The
recreational status of the lake was the reason I and many others purchased property on the
lake recently. This was also a basis in recent years fo~ the high premiums placed on
properties for sale on the lake. I know in my own case the purpose of purchasing a lake
place last October directly on Long Lake, a designated recreational lake, and paying the
associated premium, was to use the lake as such. In speaking with several other newer
property owners on the lake, that appears to be their motivation also and understandably so.
It is strongly recommended that there be just as much attention directed
toward what is needed to maintain the recreational aspect to the level of Long
Lake as is directed toward lowering the lake level. What is important is to
determine and establish controls that will maintain a reasonable lake level to
satisfy both objectives.
My second concern is the fact that I have never been contacted by the City about any of the
activity that has taken place on my lake shore or potential changes to my lake shore. I own
the North lake shore portion where the lake outlet lies. Mr. Davis seemed unaware when I
mentioned that fact to him. The city has recently come in to dredge that area without
notifying me of their intentions. On the tape I saw photos of my lake shore and heard of
possible plans to place an open culvert to accommodate even more drainage from the lake. In
addition that would divide my lake shore lot and even make access to the Easterly portion of
1
iJ . --!
my lot unattainable from the remainder portion. This would destroy any use and investment
value of that portion of lake shore. These are issues in which I would request future
involvement as well as consideration on the part of the City and SEH.
