Box 438 Stillwater, MN 55082 Dear David: As I promised, I enclose a copy of site plans and relevant summary sheets reflecting the site planning done to date by Hans Hagen, Charles Cudd and Arcon Development. I believe that the plans reflect a concerted effort to bring sophisticated and sensitive site planning to the potential new development area for the City of Stillwater. For example, the Cudd proposal includes 16% of its land for park and open space, Arcon has 32 % of its land dedicated for park and open space, and Hans Hagen shows 12.5% for park and open space. The developers intend to comply with all ordinance requirements regarding setback from water bodies, and will probably exceed those requirements in many areas. I provide you this information, as we discussed, in an effort to avoid confrontation over new policies and possible implementing ordinances which are currently being discussed at the Joint Task Force, Planning Commission, and City staff level. There are, as you know, constitutional limits on regulatory powers, most recently embodied in the Lucas decision in 1992 and the Dolan decision in 1994, by the U.S. Supreme Court. My clients are doing their best to work with the City, and will continue to do so. We want to bring the best we can offer to the City of Stillwater. We understand that this is a delicate political process between the Township and the City. However, these developer/landowners cannot give away land in the form of excessive dedication, setbacks, and buffer areas beyond what is lawful, necessary to accomodate the new citizens, and reasonably protective of natural resources. Sincerely yours, fLu Enclosures Des 80005 APR 3 1995 . . . <II '. April 19, 1993 Mayor and Council of the City of Stillwater 216 N. 4th St. ' Stillwater, Minnesota 55082 We have read with concern recent newspaper accounts of some efforts by Stillwater Township subsequent to the County's acquisition by condemnation of some of the land along McKusick Road, which threaten the 'annexation of our land to the City of Stillwater. However, we are very pleased that the City chose to respond to this threat by voting to accept the Petition and request the Minnesota Municipal Board to conduct the hearings necessary to consummate the annexation. We have held the land involved for over twenty years as Stillwater has carefully grown and developed into a fine, suburban "small town", but it seems the area is now experiencing a "quantum leap" in growth, downtown and along Highway 36. In addition, the new High School and relocated Junior High School are enormous assets and should make the area highly desirable for living and working, causing the entire area to grow. One example of being identified as a growth area was the meeting last month with some City officials in which a representative of Rottlund Homes expressed an interest developing our land, provided that it was annexed by the City. Other developers have privately expressed a similar interest to us. In view of current low interest rates and the time required for development, the City should take advantage now of the opportunity for growth this annexation provides. This opportunity might not last for long, and when it's gone, it could be gone for a long time. Continued quality growth of the City will require more land and good planning, and we feel we can contribute to the City's and surrounding area's quality growth by offering this land to the City, which has the resources to optimally develop it. With proper development, the increase in tax base will benefit not only current City residents, but also all residents in the school district by sharing the tax costs over a broader base. We hope the City will continue t? pursue this annexation as quickly as possible. Sincerely, Henry Abramowicz ~l~~ Burt Rivard ... LJAt/tY;IJ tf{ cA e . . .. August 3, 1993 To: The Mayor and City Council of Stillwater, Minnesota 216 N. 4th St. Stillwater, Minn. 55082 In view of the offers by some developers to purchase and develop rensonably soon the Abramowicz land and possibly others which were petitioned for annexation into Stillwater in September 1992, we ask that the City Council of SWlwnter consider that petition for annexation independent of the Palmer or other petitions for annexation and ask as soon as possible the Minnesota Municipal Board to hegin its proceedings for approval. We understand that the City is currently trying to update its Comprehensive Plan and intends to address annexation as part of it. There seems to he no conniet with the anticipated Plan with regard to likely annexed lands adjacent to Stillwater, such as those in the petition. However, because of the long time often needed to schedule an approval hearing with the Municipal Board, we feel it is important that you take <<parallel" action now rathel' than the sequential action of waiting until after the Plan is all finished. An affirmative action now by Stillwater to proceed with this annexation will give the developers confidence in the Cit,y's intent and allow them to utilize the interim time to draw up development plans and hopefully to be able to provide housing during a time of financially benefidal interest rates for both developers and home buyers. Delay will unnecessarily increase the cost of housing to both developers and future Stillwnter residents and postpone additional tax revenues to the City and County. Also, we ask that this request be included in the formal record of t.his Council meeting. ,. Sincerely and on behalf of the petitioned lands' owners, ~ir~ ~\--WU1.<~LQ.~ enry J.

Petitioner MTM's lands lie also in the City of Stillwater and Grant Township. page lof4 I e 2: The Petitioners' lands are adjoining and contain, collectively, 261.4 acres, more or less. The Purdy/Ash land is contiguous to the City of Stillwater along the west side of Neal Ave., immediately south of N. McKusick Road. 3. The Petitioners bring this Petition for the reason that the annexation of their lands to the City of Stillwater is in the best interest of those lands as well as the City of Stillwater because: (a) The Petitioners' lands abut a present west boundary of the City of Stillwater and offer a natural, orderly growth. (b) The abutting lands in the City of Stillwater are developed for residential. purposes. The City is providing municipal services (including sanitary sewer and municipal water service) to the abutting lands. Utilities (e.g., electricity, natural gas, and telephone) are also provided to the abutting lands. These municipal services and utilities can be made available to the Petitioners' lands. . (c) The City of Stillwater presently has an inadequacy of land available for future growth and development for residential purposes for single family, two family, apartment, and/or low income purposes. (d) The availability of such municipal services and utilities will permit the highest and best use of the Petitioners' lands consistent with regional and local land use planning, in particular such planning to accommodate anticipated population growth for the City of Stillwater. The best use of Petitioners' lands is mostly residential, but these lands need not be limited to residential purposes but may include recreational, commercial or special uses. . (e) Washington County, through its Public Works Dept. ("PWD"), is presently planning to relocate a large part of N. McKusick Road between N. Manning Ave. and Neal Ave. south of its present location and is acquiring several properties abutting the south side of N. McKusick Road between N. Manning Ave. and Neal Ave., which are indicated on the attached map by "PWD", and which include some of the Petitioners' lands. Annexation of the Petitioners' lands before the reconstruction of N. McKusick Road would give the City the opportunity to make available municipal services and utilities underground along the south side of the page 2 of 4 c " . newly reconstructed N. McKusick Road, which would facilitate the planning and development of Petitioners' lands and avoid the higher cost and inconvenience of installing these services after the reconstruction ofN. McKusick Road. The City could take advantage of any necessity to relocate overhead-utility poles required by the reconstruction of N. McKusick Road to place these utilities underground. Underground utilities would be aesthetic and consistent with the underground utilities now present in the easterly abutting lands commonly known as Oak Glen. (f) Annexation of Petitioners' lands is consistent with the purpose of the City's current Comprehensive Plan ("Plan"), as stated under part "E. Purpose" (p.5), part (4) of said Plan's Housing Profile Summary (p.39), goal 2 of said Plan's Policy Plan for Land Use (p.70), and the geographical boundaries stated under said Plan's Policy (l)(b) (p.75). Annexation of Petitioners' lands would enable the City to better modify or update its current Comprehensive Plan because the City would know what new lands are available to it and could plan an orderly and appropriate development for the land area northwest of the City. The Town of Stillwater has attempted to deprive one or more of the Petitioners of maximum economic benefit of use or by disposition of their lands, causing them economic hardship and loss, and Petitioners do not want to be under the governmental jurisdiction of the Town of Stillwater. 5. The Town of Stillwater can continue to carry on the function of government without undue hardships as a result of the proposed annexation. WHEREFORE, Petitioners respectfully request that the City Council of the City of Stillwater adopt a resolution, under the provisions of Section 414.031, Subdivision 1, of the Minnesota Statutes, requesting the Minnesota Municipal Board to annex the Petitioners' said lands, together with such other lands as the Minnesota Municipal Board may deem appropriate, to the City of Stillwater. .

(Council recessed at 8:15 p.m. and reconvened at 8:25 p.m.) Mayor Kimble opened the meeting to the public. The following individuals spoke on the Issue: David Johnson, Stillwater Township Board Supervisor, stated that the Township and City have made a concerted effort to reach an agreement. ~ Stillwater City Council Minutes Special Meeting December 12, 1995 . Dr. Bernard 1. Gaffney, 9909 Arcola Court North, stated he would like to see what would happen in five years if nothing was done. He stated the citizens should be able to vote. John Melville, 125 Northland Avenue, member of the Parks and Recreation Board, discussed youth sports and recreation and stated that Stillwater does not have the land to support an increase in youth activities. He stated that the growth will best be served by proceeding with the Plan. Dave Ruch, 1124 Nightingale, stated the Comprehensive Plan will not benefit the community as a whole. He felt there is not compelling reason to expand now. Mrs. Chase, Stillwater Township, stated they have not been asked about their wishes, only the developer's. The plan reflects the wishes of only a few. She supports growth in a slow, thoughtful pace. Roger Tomten, 718 South 5th, member of the Stillwater Heritage Preservation Commission, stated he is in favor of the Plan. It compliments the natural environment, preserves the rural backdrop, view and vistas, and identifiable neighborhoods. . Rob Hamlin, 1317 North Broadway, member of the Stillwater Planning Commission, stated that the City has an obligation to provide homes for all. He stated growth is not an option, it will happen. Ed Otis, 12070 87th St. Circle, Stillwater Township, read a letter from the Metropolitan Council, and stated that the community is in no way required to follow the Met Council forecasts. He asked that the City wait for legislative changes to allow for a vote on the annexation issue. Gary Kriesel, 1451 Lydia Circle, spoke in favor of the Plan. He stated no previous Council has gone so far to provide information to the public. The Plan manages quality of life and fair share taxation. Lorree Neitz, 7865 Manning Avenue North, stated that the majority of residents are not in favor of the Plan and want to vote on the issue. Louise Bergeron, 11123 Quirt Avenue North, asked how it will affect taxes. The major portion of taxes are from the school district and growth will affect all. 2 . . . . i I f Stillwater City Council Minutes Special Meeting December 12, 1995 Vickie Van Meier, 12724 Boutwell Road North, stated that new schools will be needed. Doug Johnson, 9429 Stonebridge Trail North, stated opposition to the Plan. He stated that it is a hostile takeover. Eric Jackson, 422 West Pine Street, stated there are some good elements to the Plan, but it does not follow the will of the residents. He asked that the Charter be amended to include non-advisory referendums and asked for annexation only if the constituents agree. Barbara Medinger, 8802 Stonebridge Trail North, Stillwater Township, stated that she is disconcerted by the change of direction of the City. Deanna Storbakken, 301 Maryknoll Drive, spoke against the plan. Growth is inevitable, but will come faster if sewer and water are provided. Let growth come, but do not invite it. Glenn Thompson, 1919 West Oak Street, stated few residents are in favor of any annexation. He is concerned with more bond issues for schools. Karen Underhill, 620 West Maple Street, stated she has seen many changes in Stillwater. She feels an increase in taxes will force her out of her home. She is not in favor of growth, and neither is the township. Patrick Poshek, 1302 South Everett Street, a 20-year'assessor with the State of Minnesota, asked to let Stillwater have history instead of being history. Hod Irvine, 12525 72nd Street, stated that the process is to be commended. He asked how residents will have input on orderly annexation. He also asked about traffic issues and how rural areas will be preserved. He is pro-development but concerned with density. Paul Bergman, Bergman's Garden Center, discussed his family's history and background. The family's only source of income is land. He stated that because his family own 100+ acres in the Township, it justifies a vote. Mayor Kimble closed the public hearing.

CITY OF STILLWATER MEMO TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Klayton Eckles, City Engineer ~-K 1/ DATE: December 14, 1995 SUBJECT: Improvements to Schulenburg, South Broadway and Washington Parks DISCUSSION The 1995 budget includes $50,000 for the purchase of play equipment for Schulenburg, South Broadway and Washington Parks. Tim Thompson has been working with the Park Board on this issue and the Board has approved these improvements. Improvements will be split in three roughly equal parts and spread between the parks. Therefore approximately $16,500 will be sent on each park. Staff would like to place the orders for this equipment this year. St. Croix Recreation has been the vendor for other park equipment and would be able to provide this equipment. Final completion of the installation of this equipment would not take place until 1996. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends council authorize the purchase of play equipment for Schulenburg, South Broadway and Washington Parks from St. Croix Recreation for the amount not to exceed $17,000 for each park or $50,000 total. "'" RESOLUTION NO. 95- APPROVING PURCHASE OF PLAY EQUIPMENT FOR SCHULENBURG, SOUTH BROADWAY AND WASHINGTON PARKS 'e BE IT RESOL VED by the City Council of Stillwater, Minnesota, that the purchase of play equipment for Schulenburg, South Broadway and Washington Parks from St. Croix Recreation, in an amount not to exceed $17,000 for each park or $50,000 total, is hereby approved.

These guidelines will be given to anyone interested in developing the site. e BLUFF CITY SITE DESIGN GUIDELINES .lVv:.I: . r -- ---- l. _ HISTORIC DOWNTOWN STILLWATER, MINNESOTA - e BLUFF CITY SITE DESIGN GUIDELINES PREPARED FOR CITY OF STILLWATER HERITAGE PRESERVATION COMMISSION AND CITY OF STILLWATER COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT MARI( S. BAIAY ARCHITECTS 226 E. MYRTLE STREET STILLWATER, MN 55082 (612) 430-3312 DECEMBER 1995 - e "Every increment of construction must be made in such a way as to heal the city. Every new act of construction has just one basic obligation: it must create a continuous structure of wholes around itself." Christopher Alexander from A New Theory of Urban Desi~ e e INTRODUCTION The purpose of the Bluff City Site Design Guidelines is to provide design direction for one of the remaining large vacant sites in the Downtown Area as shown on the map below. The Downtown Design Guidelines generally apply to the site and were used as a starting point for developing these more site specific guidelines. . Bluff City Site Design Guidelines can be organized in two areas,one context and setting guidelines to fit the project into the urban fabric and twospecific project design elements. Design areas such as proportions, height, setback, scale, materials and color provide direction for fitting site development into the overall cityscape. The Downtown is a place for pedestrians. Guidelines that help develop a pedestrian friendly project are building materials, colors, textures, access ways, signage, lighting, parking and landscaping. By following the Bluff City Site Design Guidelines, a project that fits in and enhances the downtown cityscape and is comfortable to the pedestrian can be achieved. SITE LOCATION'" ST. 0l01X IlIVell \ -1111,\ II I [ill] [ill] IIillJ{Ol1l1 D mm DTIJ IlJ [[[D " e I STILL\VATER DOWNTOWN Pl:11 L 't) \ View No. 1 Pedestrian view looking South ~ along Second St. from Olive , , e. PEDESTRIAN ORIENTED DESIGN 1) The current Stillwater Downtown Plan calls for the elimination of vehicular traffic from Nelson Alley. Any development on this site should not rely on vehicular access from Nelson Alley. Nelson Alley will become a pedestrian way linking this site and the area to Main Street and the riverfront. Refer to the STILL WATER DOWNTOWN PLAN, December 1988 for further information 2) Pedestrian oriented design is a major factor along the East property line, Second St. south from Olive St. a) Coordination with entrances and exits to any parking garage levels should be carefully designed for safety and appearance. b) Pedestrian visual and physical access to the site should be encouraged with design elements such as lighting, plazas or arcades. c) Small tenant uses; personal service, and retail shops, should be considered along this street to promote pedestrian use and activity. d) Since there will be public parking in this shared parking ramp the design must support safe pedestrian circulation in and out of the public parking areas. 3) Pedestrians whom have parked in the Riverview Parking Lot at the northwest comer of Third and Pine above the site will be attempting to find their way to the downtown area. Possible pedestrian traffic through the site should be considered in the project design process. 4) If the site is extended to connect to Olive St. west of Second St., then pedestrian circulation from Olive street should be designed to create an attractive safe entrance through the use of lighting landscaping and specialty paving. e SET BACK e 1) The current Zoning Ordinance stipulates a 15 foot front yard setback at both property lines on Second and Olive Streets, and side and rear yards of 20ft. 2) Required public and private parking requirements for this site dictate the need for a parking ramp structure at the base of any constructed building. The actual physical structures required for the development on the site will therefore be located either in front of the parking ramp or above it. This will result in a proposed building of considerable size. Dependent on design additional setbacks will have to be negotiated beyond the required setback at the streets to consider a suitable intensity of development. 3) The current zoning ordinance earmarks sites like this one, with bluffs and ravines, for case by case consideration to protect the overall appearance of the downtown area. Any developer should consider incorporating additional building setbacks into the upper floors of proposed design solutions in order to address these site specific issues. In the case of this site, and the proposed use, the condominium unit elements will be the majority of the building's visual bulk and should reflect additional setbacks beyond those required or "step backs" at upper levels to be contiguous with the existing cityscape. 4) Adjacent structures are considered when applying setback standards. The building on the comer of Second St. and Olive S1. is situated on the front property lines. Specifically the proposed design solution should reflect this on the Second Street elevation to maintain a downtown urban appearance. View No.2 Distant View looking West up Nelson Alley ~~ 0"0 DC e e, PROPORTION AND HEIGHT 1) The current zoning ordinance sets a maximum of four storys or 50 feet for the height of the building as measured at the front of the property. The preliminary staff analysis as that rule applies to this site is halfway south on the east property line and straight up 50 ft. for detennining the maximum elevation that any building on this site may not exceed. Examining an aerial topographic map ofthe site that elevation would be approximately 778.0 ft. Clearly though, development of the intensity being proposed will not be able to remain within this limitation nor would the proportion of a simple block building at this height no matter the use be acceptable in the cityscape. Modification to this requirement may be necessary to implement these design guidelines and accommodate the mixed use development. 2) The current zoning ordinance gives a specific definition of building height which changes based upon the design the roof of the structure: " Height, Building. The vertical dimension, measured from the average elevation of the finished lot grade at the from of the building to the highest point of ceiling of the top story, in the case of a flat roof, to the deck line of a mansard roof, to the average height between the plate and ridge ofa gable, hip, or gambrel roof" 3) A more open ended height limitation would require "multiple massing" of any structure proposed and set absolute limitations for height at the surface elevation of Cub Foods building parking lot to the south, approximately 808.0 ft., AND the profile of Third street which ranges from approximately 793.0 ft. at the south down to 768 ft.. at the north. Any successful solution should relate height limitations to the topographic contours of the site and adjacent areas. This will produce a more custom but logical three dimensional height pocket for development. 4) Proportions on this site should apply to the view from downtown Stillwater as a whole into many small parts. The structure should not be a single are mass in distance view. It should be broken up visually into parts that are in proportion to the other masses of buildings in the downtown cityscape or the bowl around downtown. Also the proportion of silhouetted new building elements should respond to the silhouettes of St. Mary's church, St. Michael's church, and the Historic Courthouse which all protrude from the landscape canopy. Any proposed structure on this site will stay well below the profile of the landscape canopy.

PARKING 1) The current city plan for this site is a public surface parking facility for approximately 100-150 cars. 2) In order to allow development of this site the public requirement of 100-150 spaces must be met above and beyond the number of parking spaces required for the proposed building complex. Based upon limited land area of this site this development requirement may only be physically met with the construction of a parking ramp structure integral with the other components of the building complex. The public parking portion of this facility must be readily accessible to the public. Parking ramps are considered an eventual need in the current do"mto"m plan. 3) This proposed residential use will probably require a three level parking structure per initial calculations (75 to 1 00 condo units). Two parking spaces are required per residential unit. There is an obvious potential for shared public private parking since peak demand times for various activities may accommodate sharing. The parking structure design solution must be safe for public and private use. LANDSCAPING 1) There are two major divisions of landscaping "micro and macro" that define the design needs of this site: A- Macro- landscaping is the distance view of the plant materials on the site and surrounding area. In view #3 the site has a bowl of mature vegetation surrounding it that is essential to the current green appearance of the Stillwater cityscape. ACTIVE STEPS MUST BE TAKEN DURING ANY CONSTRUCTION ON TIllS SITE, TO ASSURE THE CONTINUED HEALTH AND EVEN PROP AGA TION OF THE EXISTING BLUFF PLANT LIFE. (The hill to the south is the property of Cub foods and the hill to the \vest is the property of the City,) B- Micro-landscaping is the on-site view of planting materials which accomplishes pedestrian- oriented goals of defining space, directing views, and visual screening, The landscape e regulations for the site require 20% landscape lot coverage and 80% building coverage, e PROPORTION AND HEIGHT 1) The current zoning ordinance sets a maximum of four storys or 50 feet for the height of the building as measured at the front of the property. The preliminary staff analysis as that rule applies to this site is halfway south on the east property line and straight up 50 ft. for determining the maximum elevation that any building on this site may not exceed. Examining an aerial topographic map of the site that elevation would be approximately 778.0 ft. Clearly though, development ofthe intensity being proposed will not be able to remain within this limitation nor would the proportion of a simple block building at this height no matter the use be acceptable in the cityscape. Modification to this requirement may be necessary to implement these design guidelines and accommodate the mixed use development. 2) The current zoning ordinance gives a specific definition of building height which changes based upon the design the roof of the structure: " Height, Building. The vertical dimension, measured from the average elevation of the finished lot grade at the from of the building to the highest point of ceiling of the top story, in the case of a flat roof, to the deck line of a mansard roof, to the average height between the plate and ridge of a gable, hip, or gambrel roof." 3) A more open ended height limitation would require "multiple massing" of any structure proposed and set absolute limitations for height at the surface elevation of Cub Foods building parking lot to the south, approximately 808.0 ft., AND the profile of Third street which ranges from approximately 793.0 ft. at the south down to 768 ft.. at the north. Any successful solution should relate height limitations to the topographic contours of the site and adjacent areas. This will produce a more custom but logical three dimensional height pocket for development. 4) Proportions on this site should apply to the view from downtown Stillwater as a whole into many small parts. The structure should not be a single are mass in distance view. It should be broken up visually into parts that are in proportion to the other masses of buildings in the downtown cityscape or the bowl around downtown. Also the proportion of silhouetted new building elements should respond to the silhouettes of St. Mary's church, St. Michael's church, and the Historic Courthouse which all protrude from the landscape canopy. Any proposed structure on this site will stay well below the profile of the landscape canopy. In winter many "below the bowl" structures are evident and should be considered for proportional consideration from the top of the bowl as well as in bowl locations e e MA TERIALS I FINISHES-COLOR-FLXTURES-SIGNAGE-LIGHTING-EQUIPl\lENT 1) The selection of materials for the exterior of the building should relate to other materials and colors appearing in the downtown and read as a coordinated rational design.

STAEHLING LEGAL ASSISTANTS: MELODIE ARVOLD JODI JANTZ MEMORANDUM TO: Jay Kimble, Mayor; City Council and Staff FROM: Dave Magnuson DATE: December 19, 1995 RE: Lumber Baron's Hotel and Flood Plain Related Definitions The City Building Inspector, Community Development Director and the City Engineer have reviewed the Lumber Baron's Hotel for compliance with the conditions of approval of the condition of use permit granted for the project and also for compliance with the City's Flood Plain Ordinance. They had asked for my opinion with regard to whether the addition to the Lumberman's Building would be subject to the standards of a new structure within the meaning of our Flood Plain Ordinance, since the elevation of the first floor of the Lumberman's Building addition is 691.4 feet and the regulated flood elevation for the site is 693.4 feet. Our Flood Plain Ordinance authorizes the nonconforming use of a structure or premises that was lawful before the passage of the Flood Plain Ordinance to continue but contains a general prohibition that nonconforming uses must not be altered, substantially improved or expanded in a way that increases its nonconformity. As an exception to the substantial improvement prohibition, however, the Ordinance allows for the alteration of a "historic structure" provided that the alteration will not preclude the structure's continued designation as a historic structure. A historic structure is defined by the Ordinance as a property listed on the State Registry of Historic Sites or locally designated as an individual property or as a contributing element of a historic district by the City. My review of the application sent by the developers to the Minnesota Historical Society and to the United States Department of Interior requesting historic preservation tax certification indicates that the new construction and the transition building between the new and the old construction was a contributing element and an integral part of the effort to maintain the entire Lumberman's Hotel property as a continuing element of a historic district. Further, while construction has been done on the site, the nonconformity that existed before the construction has not been expanded in a way to increase its nonconformity since the footprint of the grocery store that was on the site occupied a greater portion of the flood plain than the existing hotel. Page 1 I '" . December 19, 1995 Further, efforts were made by the Building Official during construction to flood proof the basement of the existing building and also the first floor of the existing building to an FP 4 standard by requiring that the basement be striped of any mechanical or heating equipment and only be used for the storage of movable items and, further, that the first floor of the building be built so that electrical and mechanical equipment could be readily movable from the area within the time available after a flood warning and in accordance with a plan approved by the Council. In conclusion, it is my opinion that the Lumber Baron's Hotel,)ncluding the renovated portion and the new attached addition, have been lawfully constructed and are in conformance with our Flood Plain Ordinance provided that the owners submit to the City an evacuation plan demonstrating that all materials and equipment in the basement and in the first floor elevation be readily removable from the area within the time available for a flood warning.

The staff report and application are attached. They have requested that the $70 application fee be waviered since they are strictly a volunteer organization. ,. . .. e PLANNING APPLICATION REVIEW FORM CASE NO. V/95-84 PC Date: December 11, 1995 Project Location: 2300 West Orleans street Comprehensive Plan District: One-/Family Residential District Zoning District: RA Applicant's Name: Community Volunteer Services Type of Application: Variance Project Description: Replace existing sign with two signs. Discussion: The request is to replace an existing 2' by 6 1/2' redwood sign that faces Oleans street with two angled signs. The current sign faces south and the centers visitors approach the site from the east or west. Apparently the sign is not visible until they are past the driveway. The applicant is proposing to install two signs, one angled toward the east and one angled to the west. The signs would be constructed of rough cedar, the same material that the sign is currently constructed of, with yellow lettering. The height of the signs from the highest point to the ground would be 6 ft. The signs would be lit by a small bottom flood light if it is determined the signs can't be seen at night. The applicant requests the $70.00 application fee be waived since the Community Volunteer Service is a nonprofit agency serving the residents of the stillwater area. Recommendation: City staff agrees that the applicant has an issue with the signage, but will recommend that possiblibly the problem can be solved in another manner. It is staff's suggestion that one sign be used instead of two. The sign should be placed at the main entrance to the site. The sign should be in an east/west direction with lettering on both sides so both east and west traveling cars can see it. Staff advises the commission that the sign should not be lit since the center is close to an residential area.

The contractor is requesting a final payment amount of$5,910.09. Dick Moore is recommending the city withhold $5,258.83 to recover the cost of sealcoating this project next year. The withholding amount is recommended due to extra costs that the city will incur brought about by inadequate finishing job on the wear course. The contractor contends that the obligations of the contract have been fulfilled. SEH and staff in the Engineering Dept. spent approximately 10 months working with the contractor to correct deficiencies in the final wear course. In the end, the contractor did not address all the deficiencies which means the city will have to seal coat this section of street in order to obtain a uniform finished surface. The estimated cost of seal coating is $5,258.83. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends council pass a resolution authorizing final payment to Aero Asphalt for the completion of 1.1. 290 West Orleans Street in the amount of$5,910.09 minus a $5,258.83 withholding for the cost of surface treatments. 1/.;. .

City Engineer City of Stillwater 216 North 4th Street Stillwater, MN 55082 Dear Mr. Eckles: Please find enclosed Application No.5 and Final for Aero Asphalt Inc. for the above referenced project. We have checked the application for payment and find that it is acceptable as submitted. Also enclosed are lien waivers and I.c. 134 forms. As you recall, there were some deficiencies in the pavement which were corrected by the contractor in 1995. However, a part of the agreement with the contractor for final payment was to provide funding for seal coating of the entire pavement. Since the corrective measures were not completed in time to include the seal coating with the 1995 City seal coating project, it will have to be completed with the 1996 City seal coating project. We have calculated the total length of the roadway at 1,471 feet and a 33 foot width of pavement to seal coat, for a total of 5,393.67 square yards. At your seal coat rate of $0.971h per square yard, this amounts to $5,258.83. We recommend you make final payment through the contractor and withhold the amount of $5,258.83.

Previously, NBP had indicated a rental cost of approximately $25,000 per year to the City. By purchasing the land, the oity would save money in the long run and the payback is les8 than 5 years. The city haa just reoeived the tax settlement from the county and therefore have some TIr funds available. I would recommend the City purchase the site from NSP using tax increment funds. . . MEMORANDUM e TO: Mayor and City Council Steve Russell, Community Development Director fL-- FR: DA: December 13, 1995 RE: PURCHASE OF UBC STORAGE SITE LAND FOR PUBLIC PARKING LOT Closing for the USC deal is scheduled for this week. In discussions with NSP, it seems worth considering at this time the city purchase of the USC storage site. The city would then own the lot and could improve it as previously discussed for a 100-150 car parking lot. NSP would need permission from the city to clean up the site at a cost of $1 million and monitor the site after clean up according to PCA standards. In discussions with NSP, they indicated they would pay 20 to 30 percent of purchase price to the city for an easement to monitor the clean up. The purchase price for the 63,485 square foot lot is $174,000. A 20 to 30 percent NSP contribution would be $35,000 to $52,000 reducing the cost of the site to the city to $139,000 to $122,000 which is an excellent price for a 1+ acres of downtown land. The city would then be in a position to make improvements to the lot next Spring for parking or negotiate public parking as a part of some additional use of the site. The site is located in the downtown redevelopment district and can be purchased with TIF money or other city funds. Recommendation: Direct staff to negotiate NSP contribution of 25 percent or $40,000 to site cost and city purchase of the site from USC. Attachment: Certificate of survey - '. ''"'' .... .

Winter snow has covered up all of the No Parking yellow curb. Many days cars are parked in a manner that they infringe into our entrance and exit driveways. Two problems are caused by these cars. First we have trouble getting school buses into and out of our school drop off area and second, cars leaving our parking area cannot see traffic from either direction, to safely exit our property. We are requesting some No Parking signs be erected, if not permanently, at least over the winter months. Please feel free to contact me wit~ any quest~ons, comments, and sign locations at 439-7831.

I attach a map that shows the UBC site as Parcel 2 and a 2.83 acre parcel that will be retained by Pauley and Kern after the conveyance to UBC. The property is burdened by assessments, both present and future, for Local Improvements 157, 250 and 173 and it will be necessary for the City to reapportion these assessments between the two parcels. Further, we contemplate a closing for the transaction for Wednesday, December 27, 1995, at 1: 30 p.m. so it would be helpful if this apportionment, according to the worksheet that Monica prepared for me today and is attached as Exhibit "A" to this memorandum, could be authorized by the City Council at tonight's meeting.

The Gazette wishes to be the publication instrument and would consider sharing the responsibilities in 1996 with The Courier just like the compromise program of 1995. I believe it ,has worked well, I'm not aware of any difficulties. Because of an unbelievable increase.in newsprint in the past 12 months (it has nearly doubled in price), the rate for publication of City legals (charge per column inch) would have to be increased to offset operational expenses. I am open to discussion and pledge cooperation and whatever assistance needed to fulfill your legal publication needs. Thank you for taking time to accept this and read it. smce~ ~ahoneY Publisher '. P.l . Mayor Jay Kimble and City Council Members City of Stillwater 21 6 N. Fourth St. Stillwater, Minn. 55082 Dear Mayor Kimble and Council Members: It will soon be time for the City to designate its legal publication for 1996. Obviously, the Courier News would like to serve the city as its legal newspaper, as we have in the past. However, should the City Council elect to continue the compromise arrangement worked out this year, with the Gazette publishing the legal notices and the Courier News the meeting minutesJ in 1996, we certainly would be willing participants. However, as . most of you know, the cost of paper has risen dramatically in the last year, with additional increases forecast for 1996. Therefore, we would request that the City Council consider an increase in the per column inch cost of legal publications. Thank you for your consideration. We look forward to working with the City again in the coming year. Sincerely, ~t1! L:':t Publisher 126 South Second Stroet, Stlllwatel, Minn9solH 55087 612'430-30~7 FAX 612-~ ~O.38 /3 . e e ~u 1~/i /9-5 .I Stillwater City Council Stillwater Municipal Building Stillwater MN 55082 Dear City Council, This letter is in response to the adoption of the Demolition Ordinance. I understand the thrust of this ordinance, but I really question the propiety of it. My wife and I were neighbors to the house on Third Street across from the armory that prompted its .passage. We looked at that house for over 30 years. I do not even know who owned the structure. It had a gingerbread overhang that in its day must have been impressive, but the house structurally, in our opinion, was beyond repair. The foundation was caving in, the sill had to have major problems. I had been inside the house and suggest that the owner felt that floors and stairways were dangerous to anyone who lived there. No reasonable amount of money could have repaired it. Therefore, he did himself and the city a favor, and demolished it. It now provides unobstrusive parking for the apartment directly west of the property. My question to you is this. Is the ordinance you passed even legal beyond the right of an owner to challenge? I am not a lawyer, so I cannot answer the question. I also question the right of the Community Development Department and the Heritage Preservation Commission to have the power to decide rather an owner can or cannot demolish a building on a property. They certainly have the right to raise the question of rather the building has value to the City of Stillwater. If we would have had such commissions 35 years ago, the old wonderful depot and perhaps, the Auditorium Theater would have survived. The owner in question, iq5 seems to me, if denied the right of demolition, would have had fow viable answers to his problem that the structure was no longer safe. Certainly, the courts, but that is costly. The property could have been deeded over to the city. I'fIy guess is, that the city, eventually, would have torn the building down at the taxpayer's expense. It is very doubtful that anyone could have been found to restore the structure. I have no suggestions for you, other than be very WIll"'J of this new ordinance. It may cause you more difficulties than it is worth. I agree that their are structures that should be preserved. It is in the best interest of our city to care for that. Yours truly v2'~ /" ." ~1-7tA /. John Calkins e 2962 ~Iarin~ Circl~ Stilhvat~r, :\I?\ 55082 December 13, 1995 Stillwater city council 216 N' 4th Str~et Stillwater, :\1?\ 55082 Dear council: I'm writing to give my opinions regarding the annexation meeting, and to officially notify you of my ~xpectations r~garding further d~velopment of the Long Lak~ watersh~d. I ,vas unable to attend the meeting last night, but have taped and review'ed it. For the first time I saw evidence that some of the council has begun to recognize that their - - constituents, other than those few who will gain from amlexation, should have a voice. Other than the self-serving statements of several plaming community members. no testimony of support were expressed bv city residents. In the closing deliberations, Messrs. Thole and Bealka seem to have been affected by the testimony, even 'though they then voted illogically as a result of Jay's cajoling. Rich seems to have made up his mind a long time ago, and openly expressed his . fmstration with those wasting his time. At least we know where you stand, and I thank you for that. We could have a stronger City if all members of the council express their opinions as peers rather than allowing several members to set the agenda and tone for all. A little more fortitude please. I believe that the vote to approve the plan was illogical because the plan is based on the underlying premise of amlexation to accomplish the goal. Some people were promised results and by gosh we all got it. Now amlexation can be accomplished in a piece by piece fashion that will avoid as much public attention. So, council member Thole vour concems were well found~d. "' \\.11ile the Plan will change the nature of Stillwater. I also recognize that chanQ~ is .... ......... inevitable. However. we can manage chane:e in a number of ways other than through a . ~ - . - single minded drive to annex. ~laybe Jay can negotiate an approach that doesn't require annexation, but I doubt it. I am opposed to the annexation for several reasons: e . First and foremost is the inability of Long Lake to handle the runoff from the higher levels of development under the plan. The city did a poor job of designing the ponding system for the Cub development, and we now see 4-8" increases in lake level from nm-of-the-mill thunder showers. For any of you 'who doubt this please come over as soon as things thaw out and \vatch Don Teed's la\vn disappear after a shower. Some of our houses are dangerously close to these frequent new high water levels. The intense development proposed for the annexed area of the watershed will multiply this efTect and cause flooding of dwellings, as well as further degradation of water quality. I believe that proper planning with lower density development can avoid this problem. But the City and its plmUlers seem oblivious to the problem in spite of petitions/'letters. Please accept this letter as notice that should the Citv annex and allow development that damages mv propertv. I will seek redress of damages e . The second reason for my opposition is the impact on required added selTices and infrastructure. I have zero faith that all costs have been included in your model. I\'e modeled financial and physical systems, and recognize how fragile and dependent the predictions are on the assumptions. Somehow, they seldom tum out as predicted, and especially when the assumption used are "success" oriented inputs from those with a vested interest in the outcome. Most importantlv. vou the council members must take responsibilitv for the impact ofvour actions on school taxes -- thev will sky rocket. We are choking on the campus ( some call it a palace) we built several years ago, and it is now full. . Finally, I am opposed to the annexatiOli plan because of the economic impact in taxes and reduced property values. It is obvious to all observers that a few people are pushing the annexation to further increase the value of their property through higher density development -- but at a cost to others. In spite of Jay's idealistic concept that everybody can win, it doesn't work that way. Higher density development across the lake will negatively impact the lake and reduce the fhture value of mv propertv compared to lower density development in the township. So. I will look out for mv interests even if the council will not. I challenge you, the city council, to assess the motivations behind annexation, and to seek the wisdom and desires of all the citizens rather the wishes of a few. I will live bv a democratic vote of all our residents .- why won't you?

You are one of 100 cities participating in the Local Housing Incentives Account Program of the Metropolitan Livable Communities Act. Over 91 percent of the region's population lives in cities such as yours. Between now and December 15 we will be fInalizing the goal setting process. Following that, we will hold a public hearing regarding goal agreements December 21, 1995, at 6:00 p.m. in the Metropolitan Council Chambers at Mears Park Centre, 230 E. Fifth Street, in St. Paul. The public hearing record will remain open until January 8, 1996, for additional comment. The Council is expected to adopt the goals on January 11, to meet the statutory deadline of January 15, 1996. With the completion of sign-up process for the Livable Communities Program, we have turned our attention to the action planning phase which will detail how communities accomplish their affordable and life cycle housing goals. It is at this time that discussions about multi city clustering will be most helpful. As action plans take shape, I urge communities to look to their neighbors and think strategically about the opportunities that a cluster arrangement provides, Metropolitan Council staff has been doing a great deal of cluster work, particularly with Dakota County communities, through the Dakota County Housing and Redevelopment Authority. We would be glad to facilitate discussion and share with you what we have learned from that process. The Metropolitan Council would be willing to sponsor or cosponsor sessions on cluster planning in your area. Please call Tom McElveen at 291-6306 for more information. Thanks for your hard work in 1995, and I look forward to our continuing Livable Communities activities throughout the year ahead.
