RE:
AGENDA I TEi'i;:,
1) FOR YOUR INFORMATION THE STILLWATER DUATHALON, THAT WAS BEING
ORGANIZED BY TERRY AND RODNEY PRATT WILL NOT BE HELD THIS YEAR. THEY
WERE NOT ABLE TO GET THE NECESSARY PERMITS FOR THE PARTS OF THE
ACTIVITY THAT WERE OUT OF THE CITY OF STILLWATER BOUNDARIES.
.
2) THERE IS A MEMO IN YOUR PACKETS FROM DEANNA ZINK AND DAVID JUNKER
IN REFERENCE TO MUSIC IN THE PARK. THEY ARE ASKING FOR 2 POLICE
OFFICERS, 4 HOURS EACH (6:00 PM - 10:00 PM) FOR 6 CONCERTS (THE 7TH
ONE IS DURING LUMBERJACK DAYS). THIS FIGURES OUT AS FOLLOWS: 8 MAN
HOURS PER CONCERT x 6 CONCERTS = 48 PAID HOURS. WITH THE AVERAGE
OVERTIME COST FOR THE OFFICERS AT $33.00 PER HOUR (THIS INCLUDES THE
CITY'S P.E.R.A. CONTRIBUTION ABOVE THE ACTUAL DOLLAR PER HOUR RATE)
THE DEPARTMENTS COST IS $1,584.00. THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY COSTS
FOR THE USE OF EQUIPMENT OR ADMINISTRATION.
DUE TO THE FACT THAT THERE WILL BE BEER VENDERS AT EACH CONCERT I
SUGGEST THAT THE VENDERS PAY ALL, OR AT LEAST PART, OF THE COST OF
PROVIDING POLICE OFFICERS. I THINK THIS MAKES IT MORE OF A "FOR
PROFIT" VENTURE DUE TO THE BEER SALES. $1,584.00 DIVIDED BY 6 =
$264.00 PER CONCERT.
3) THE EMERGENCY LIGHTS THAT ARE IN THE CAPTAINS SQUAD CAR NEED TO BE
REPLACED DUE TO OPERATING PROBLEMS AND THE AGE AND LACK OF PARTS BEING
AVAILABLE FOR THEM. I ASK THAT WE BE ALLOWED TO SPEND APPROXIMATELY
$900.00 TO PURCHASE THE NECESSARY NEW LIGHTS, THE COST OF WHICH WILL
BE TAKEN OUT OF THE FORFEITURE ACCOUNT. THIS ITEM IS ON THE CONSENT
AGENDA.

Mayor and City Council

Dear Mayor and Council:
.
Weare writing to request your consideration of funding assistance for the expansion of
the Stillwater Senior Community Center, a program of Community Volunteer Service,
located at 2300 Orleans Street West, Stillwater. The Center was constructed in 1991 and,
as your know, Community Volunteer Service of the St. Croix Valley Area (CVS) and the
Senior Center provide a variety of valuable services and activities to the community,
especially the senior members of the community.
The CVS Board of Directors has determined that it is necessary to expand the Center to
accommodate the rapidly increasing number of senior citizens using the services at the
Center. Due to the projected increase of the senior population, we expect the services of
the Center to continue to expand, We also need to make adjustments to the building to
accommodate individuals with disabilities; such as an automatic front entrance and
improved acoustics for those who are hearing impaired,
The other major reason for expansion will be to house the St. Croix Valley Chapter
American Red Cross allowing us to share resources and to keep down the costs of running
our organizations Working with volunteers is the foundation of the missions of both
agencies. Weare positioned to continue collaborative efforts in the area of managing
volunteers in times of disaster and volunteers from the senior population working on
bloodmobile drives,
This expansion is estimated to cost approximately $125,000. CVS is requesting financial
support from the City of Stillwater to assist with providing quality services to area senior
citizens. This financial contribution would greatly enhance our current programming and
allow us to meet the future needs of seniors in the valley.

This request is being made with the understanding that the Center is located within one of
the City's tax increment financing districts and that funds may be available for a project of
this nature. The Board believes that this would be a proper use of tax increment funds and
hopes that the Honorable Mayor and Council share this belief.
The members of the CVS Board and Senior Center Steering Committee would be
available to meet with you or with city staff to further discuss this request. Please let us
know what is required and we will respond accordingly. Thank you in advance for your
consideration of our request.
Sincerely,

TO: Mayor and Council Members
From: Ed Cain
Subject: Report on Levee Construction and Legislative Developments
Washington Legislative Report:
I am delighted to report that the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee
has passed the Stillwater amendment, and has included the reauthorization in the Water
Resources Development Act of 1996. The amendment increases the authorization for
the levee project by $8.4 million, from the $3.2 million authorized in 1992, to $12.6
million. We have now succeeded in getting the amendment included in both the House
and the Senate bills. By being in both bills, we can be assured of maintaining the
authority through the Conference Committee and floor action. This gives us the
authority needed to go after the additional funds needed for the project from the
appropriations committees.
Without the authorization of the additional funds, no further appropriations could be
made. So quite obviously, this legislation was our number one priority for the year.
While there are some controversial issues in the total legislation, I have not heard of any
that would bring about a veto. The President is expected to sign the bill soon after
Congress acts.
There remains some concerns in the wording of the two Stillwater amendments that
will have to be worked out in floor action and in Conference Committee. We are on top
of these situations, and I have put together the necessary actions to get these changes
made.
Appropriations: We have requested $2.85 million in Federal funding this year for
Phase II of the project. This is the extension of the levee wall from the gazebo around
Mulberry Point. The State allocated $350,000 for this phase in the 1996 Legislative
Session. The total cost for Phase II is $3.8 million. The House Appropriations
Committee is expected to mark-up their bill in July 23, 1996. The Senate Committee will
take action several weeks later. Final action of the 1997 Appropriations will be
completed in early October, I hope.
We have increased our chances for a 1997 appropriation substantially as a result of
the increased authorization, however, it is still going to be a "tough sell" to get additional
funding without the final enactment of the Authorization Bill. Funds are extremely tight
this year, and the Committee will be looking for any excuse not to allocate funds to
specific projects. The Energy and Water budget category was first reduced by 15%
over last year's reduced budget, but the House then gave them back most of the cuts.
The 1997 appropriation level is now close to the 1996 level of funding for Energy and
Water projects.

Levee Wall Construction:
Due to the delay in the reappraisal of the temporary and permanent easements for
the project, and other details, construction has been delayed until July 29th. The U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers has awarded the contract for Phase I-A to Lametti and Sons of
Hugo, MN. This is the reconstruction and repair of the levee wall system from Nelson
Street to the Interstate Bridge.
Phase I-B can not be awarded until after the reappraisal of the lands are completed.
, If sufficient funds are available, the Corps will then amend the contract with Lametti and
Sons to begin construction on the levee from the bridge to the gazebo. The contract
calls for the work to be completed in approximately 165 days. Deducting the most
severe days in the Winter months, and depending on the length and severity of the
Spring run-ofts, the work may be completed in the Spring or early Summer of 1997.
A Pre-construction Meeting with the City, the Corps, Lametti and Sons, and SEH is
scheduled for 9 a.m., July 16th at the Lumber Barons Hotel Board Room on the 3rd.
floor. Plans, specifications, schedules, and other issues will be discussed at that time.
State Funds: Action has been initiated with the State requesting $400,000 for the
escrow account to be used in the Phase I-A & B construction work. The process will be
completed and the funds transferred to the City before construction begins on July 29,
1996. The State will hold the additional $350,000 allocated by the Legislature to the
City of Stillwater until they are needed for Phase II.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
1. Case No. SUBI96-22. This is the day and time for the public hearing to consider an appeal of the
Planning Commission's decision to deny a request by Karen Kramer for a subdivision to subdivide a
290 x 150,43,500 square foot lot into two lots of21,750 square feet each located at 1904 North Fifth
Street in the RB-Two Family Residential District. Notice of the hearing was placed in the Stillwater
Gazette on June 4, 1996, and notices mailed to affected property owners.
Karen Kramer presented her request. Planning Commission Chair Fontaine reported the Planning
Commission denial was unanimous and based on the following: the area is non-sewered, there is an
existing runoff problem, and Willow Street is not a city street, giving the second lot no access to an
improved public street.

Both of these items were budgeted for and are in the 1996 Budget.
As a side note, Rita and I lobbied long and hard to make the one of the companions functions, a day

RE:
Amended salary/longevity schedules-
for Asst. Finance Director
DA:
June 28, 1996
Discussion:
At a previous meeting the Council approved a salary and longevity schedule for the new Asst.
Finance Director position that was recently filled by Sharon Harrison. A starting salary of
$36,000 was approved. I had recommended that the salary begin at the one year step. However,
subsequent to the meeting I met with AFSCME officials to discussthe salary and the officials are
requesting a salary schedule as per the attached amended schedules. I concur in that the
requested salary would be more in line with the other positions covered by the AFSCME
agreement as well with other City classifications and pay.
Recommendation:
Adopt resolution approving amended salary and longevity schedules for AFSCME agreement.

FR: Steve Russell, Community Development Director
DA: June 7, 1996
RE: CONTINUE HEARING FOR 32-LOT SUBDIVISION, INTERLACHEN HILLS 3RD
ADDITION (CASE NO. SUB/96-31)
This subdivision application was before the commission at your May 13, 1996 meeting and
continued to this June 10, 1996 meeting to further address issues raised at the May 13
meeting.
Changes since last review include; (1) the reduction of the number of lots to meet the zoning
lot size requirements; (2) redesigning Interlachen Drive to lower the grade of the road as it
relates to adjust properties; and (3) modification to the drainage plan and wetland mitigation
consistent with the wetland conservation act.
Staff referred the project to the city traffic engineer for review and the city engineer reviewed,
again, the drainage plan as it relates to impact on the surrounding area.
.
As can be seen in the revised subdivision, one lot along Interlachen Drive south of the pond
has been eliminated. This results in the remaining lots meeting subdivision lot area
requirements. The project will not effect drainage conditions on surrounding developed areas.
All drainage is contained and controlled on site. The design for Interlachen Drive has been
modified (lowered) resulting in the road being two feet above existing land contour rather then
the previously proposed six feet. This allows easier access to the lots south of Interlachen
Drive and "fits" in better with existing conditions.
The city traffic engineer has reviewed the proposed road design and feels it will work as
proposed and the project will not significantly impact existing traffic conditions in the area.
One other issue that was brought up was a stop sign at Interlachen Way and Interlachen
Drive. Staff would suggest that a stop sign is not needed at that location based on the design
of the road but if it proves necessary for safety reasons it could be reviewed and added at
some later date.
Conditions of approval have been modified to reflect the changes in plans.
Recommendation: Approval with conditions
Attachment: Modified plans

PLANNING COMMISSION
June 10, 1996
Present:
Jerry Fontaine, chairman
Glenna Bealka, Dave Charpentier, Kirk Roetman,
Don Valsvik, Darwin Wald, and Terry Zoller
Others:
Steve Russell, Community Development Director
Absent:
Rob Hamlin and Thomas Weidner
Chairman Fontaine called the meeting to order at 7:05 p.m.
Mr. Wald, seconded by Mr. Valsvik, moved approval of the minutes of May
13, 1996; all in favor.
Case No. SUB/96-31 A preliminary plat approval for a 32-lot subdivision
on 15.22 acres located south of Bayberry Avenue Court in the RA-Single
Family Residential District. Trail Head Development Corp., applicant.
Representing the applicant were Jim Peterson and William McCully. City
Engineer Klayton Eckles also was present for the discussion.
Mr. McCully went through the revised plan. The major revisions are the
removal of one lot and the alignment of Interlachen. Mr. McCully also went
through staff's recommended conditions of approval and the developer's
response to the conditions.
Signe Cowen, 202 Crestwood Terrace, gave a history of the property.
Lynette Newman, 203 Crestwood Terrace, showed a video of the property,
elevations, wetlands and potential drainage problems.
Sheila Maybanks, 201 Bayberry Court, spoke of the need to respect the
environment; she also suggested that the city not accept a fee in lieu of
park land dedication.
Tim Cowen, 202 Crestwood Terrace, showed photos of Meadowlark Park
taken after a May 19 rainfall and said water management is a serious
problem in the area. Cindy Green, 204 Crestwood Terrace, said water
issues and preservations of wetlands are of greatest concern.; David Green
asked about the city's water/land management policies regarding
environmental protection and showed photos of several eroded areas at
other development sites.
i
Amy Storbakken, 301 Maryknoll Drive, asked if the city had attempted to .
quantify the recreational value of the area. She requested that the city
postpone approval until data is gathered to determine the area's value as a
park/open space.
Speaking about a concern for additional traffic on Maryknoll were Steve
Sweetland, 214 Maryknoll Drive., Deanna Storbakken, 301 Maryknoll Drive,
and Doug Dornfeld, 303 Maryknoll Drive.
Also raising concerns about runoff and other issues were: Bill Ward, 462
Bayberry Ave. Court; Frank Biontek, 197 Maryknoll; Ann Letizio, 189
Maryknoll; and Kathy Kraucht, 201 Interlachen Way.
Signe Cowen summarized concerns and asked that the developer consider a
new plat that does not enclose the wetland and provides access to the
wetland through Meadowlark Park; that the develop utilize increased silt
fencing measures, preserve trees and provide a buffer around the wetland
area.
Mr. Russell responded to comments about traffic issues. He said the
traffic engineer says the road (Maryknoll) has the capacity for any .
additional traffic the project would generate. He also noted the concern is
part of the Deer Path issue (cut-through traffic) the city has yet to come
to grips with.
Mr. Eckles responded to the wetland/water issue. He said he thought the
developer had done a good job, pointing out the wetland easement will
provide a large natural area. He said it was his opinion the plan does a
good job at wetland preservation, pointing out the proposed mitigation
plan exceeds state requirements. Mr. Peterson said the developer wants to
preserve wetlands as an amenity and suggested that many of the
comments/concerns were a result of past engineering practices, rather
than what is proposed in the development plan.
Most of the discussion by commission members centered on the condition
of approval regarding park dedication and Mr. Russell's suggestion that the
city might want to require a payment in lieu of land to make
improvements to and provide better access to Meadowlark Park. Mr.
Valsvik noted the park will need a lot of work because of the existing
water/drainage problems. Mr. Valsvik suggested changing the language in
condition of approval No. 5 to indicate the developer shall pay a park
dedication fee to be used to "make substantial improvements to
Meadowlark Park and provide better access to the park as land might be
.1
.
.
I.
available." (Park fees to be paid by the developer would amount to
$35,000-$40,000.)
Mr. Roetman, seconded by Mr. Wald, moved approval as conditioned, with
the revised condition of approval No.5. Motion passed unanimously.
Case No. SV /96-30 A street vacation for all that portion of Interlachen
Drive between Crestwood Terrace and proposed Interlachen Way. Trail
Head Development Corp., applicant.
Mr. Zoller, seconded by Mr. Roetman, moved approval as conditioned, with
the additional condition suggested by Mr. Peterson that approval is pending
final plat approval. Motion passed unanimously.
Case No. SUP/96-33 A special use permit for home occupation, massage
therapy in a residence located at 1202 W. Myrtle St. in the RA-Single
Family Residential District. Sister Germaine Perreault, RN, applicant.
The previous resident of the home also had a massage therapy business.
Kay Boyce, 1222 W. Myrtle St., questioned whether there would be more
than one business conducted from the home. Lauren Fouks, previous
resident, assured Ms. Boyce that was not the case.
Mrs. Bealka, seconded by Mr. Roetman, moved approval as conditioned; all
in favor.
Case No. DR/SUP/V /96-35 A design permit and special use permit for a
self-service car wash -- 6 bay -- and variance for a second wall sign
located on Lot 3 and the southwest 20 feet of Lot 4, Block 2, Stillwater
Market Place 2nd Addition located in the BP-C Business Park Commercial
District. Krongard Construction, applicant.
Jack Krongard was present for the discussion.
Most of the discussion centered on the requested variance for a second
sign which would face County Road 5. Mr. Krongard spoke of his need for
the additional signage.
Mr. Roetman said signage on County Road 5 was specifically addressed
when the Market Place development was approved; signage on the rear
elevation (County Road 5) of businesses in Stillwater Market Place is not
allowable.

Re: Revised submittal of preliminary grading plan for
Interlachen Hills Third Addition
Dear Mr. Russell
Enclosed is the revised grading plan reflecting the revised vertical alignments for
Interlachen Drive and Interlachen way on the above mentioned development. We have
reduced the number of lots to 31 units. T.he property owner of the driveway access that
is in question preferred not to have a home in his backyard and therefore is the reason
why we have not removed the unit below the NSP Utility line. The driveway as
proposed will be at a grade of 4.08% which is well below the grades of many driveways
in the vicinity. I anticipate the feedback from Clayton Eckles regarding the wetland
issues and the wetland mitigation plan will meet all your conditions of approval
pertaining to the wetland issues.
Thank you for your assistance in this matter and if you could over fax your consolidated
staff report to me at your earliest convenience at 784-600, it would be greatly
appreciated.
Please contact us if you have any questions or need further information.
Sincerely,

RE: Stillwater, Minnesota
lnterlachen Hills 3rd Addition
Site Review
SEH No. A-STILL9601.00
Mr. Steve Russell
Director of Community Development
City of Stillwater
216 North 4th Street
Stillwater, MN 55082
Dear Steve:
.
We have reviewed the site plan dated April 15 for lnterlachen Hills 3rd Addition. This proposal is
for 32 dwelling units to be built along an extension of Interlachen Drive, an extension of Interlachen
Way and a new cul-de-sac off of Bayberry A venue. The concept for the street system is consistent
with the overall development of Interlachen Hills. Right-of-way for parts of the cul-de-sac and the
two extensions has been provided in past plats. It is also consistent with the concepts in the initial
proposals which were for townhomes in the early 1980s.
The 3rd Addition will generate slightly more than 300 trips per day. These trips will be distributed
in three different directions. We anticipate that between 100 and 120 vehicle trips per day will be
made via Interlachen Drive to Maryknoll Drive. This traffic will be split between Maryknoll Drive
to the north, Maryknoll Drive to the south and lnterlachen Drive west to Northland Drive.
Approximately 120 to 150 trips per day will be made via Interlachen Way to the County Road 12
intersection. This traffic will then travel east or west on County Road 12. A small volume, perhaps
up to 10 vehicles per day, would use Deer Path to reach County Road 5. We also anticipate that
between 70 and 100 vehicles per day will use Bayberry Avenue to Maryknoll Drive, with most then
continuing north to County Road 12.
Based on those estimates, it is anticipated that the additional traffic on Maryknoll Drive will be
approximately 80 vehicles per day north of Bayberry Avenue, 60 vehicles per day between Bayberry
A venue and lnterlachen Drive, and 60 vehicles per day between lnterlachen Drive and Oak Ridge
Road.
.
We have also reviewed the potential for cut-through traffic which might attempt to use lnterlachen
Way, Interlachen Drive, Maryknoll Drive and Oak Ridge Road as a new connection between County
Road 12 and County Road 5. Given the number of turns and the misdirection of some of the travel,
it is unlikely that this will replace Deer Path or any other route now used as a short-cut through the
neighborhood.

.
Finally, we estimate that some trip changes will be made as a result of the connection of lnterlachen
Way to lnterlachen Drive. Some traffic now on Interlachen Way Court or Interlachen Way may
choose to use Interlachen Way to Interlachen Drive, as opposed to Bayberry Avenue, to reach
Maryknoll Drive. The net result of this change will be to reduce the volume of traffic on Maryknoll
Drive between Bayberry A venue and Interlachen Drive by a few vehicles per day. It should have no
impact on Maryknoll Drive south of Interlachen Drive.
The 3rd Addition also requested vacation of a portion of platted Interlachen Drive east of proposed
Interlachen Way. Initially, Interlachen Drive was to connect to Crestwood Terrace to provide an
additional access to County Road 5 via Fair Meadows Road. This would permit additional traffic
from both Interlachen Hills and other portions of the Croix wood area to approach County Road 5
on Fair Meadows Road. While it could reduce traffic volumes slightly on other streets in
Croixwood, it would put some through traffic on Interlachen Drive, Crestwood Terrace and Fair
Meadows Road. More of a concern is the location of the intersection of Fair Meadows Road and
County Road 5, with respect to the turn on County Road 5 at Olive Street. We are continually
reminded of the close spacing of the Deer Path intersection to the curve and note that the Fair
Meadows intersection is even closer. Because of the concern for the operation of this intersection
and a potential of sending through traffic to Crestwood Terrace, we would concur in the vacation of
Interlachen Drive east of Interlachen Way so that there would not be a connection to Crestwood
Terrace. The downside of this vacation would primarily be forcing some additional traffic from
Interlachen Way out onto County Road 12. The number should be small.
.
Finally, we reviewed the general geometries of the layout. They appear reasonable given the nature
of the topography of the area and the type of traffic anticipated to use the streets.
If you have any questions or need any additional information, please feel free to call.
Sincerely,
Short Elliott Hendrickson Inc.

PlJ.:.Ll'!NING APPLlCA liON REVIEW Fl,. o;iM
CASE NO. SUB/96-31
_Ianning Commission Date: May 13,1996
Project Location: South of Interlachen Way
v
Comprehensive Plan District: One Family Residential
Zoning District: RA
Applicant's Name: Trail Head Development Corporation
Type of Application: Subdivision - 32 lots
Project Description: The request is for a 32-lot subdivision. The area was previously approved for a
39-lot subdivision in 1987. That approval has expired and a new 32-lot subdivision is now being
proposed.
Discussion:. Since the 1987 approval, the city has enacted wetland and slope density regulations
that have resulted in the preservation of the wetlands and illumination of sloped lands from
development.
Proposal: The proposal is a 32-lot single family subdivision. The minim lot size for single family is
.10,000 square feet - 70 feet wide and 100 feet in depth. The proposal extends Pine Ridge Lane 300
et to a cui de sac. Eleven lots ranging in size from 11,830 to 21,300 square feet are located along
the cui de sac. Two of those lot have a 68 foot lot width (70 feet required).
A second area of development extends south from Interlachen Way to extend Interlachen Drive.
Large lots sloping down to Deerpath pond are located on the east side of the road (10,275 sq. ft. to
82,305 sq. ft.). The lot furthers to the south on the east side of Interlachen Way requires the location
the transmission lines and vacation of easement. This would have to be coordinated with NSP and
may result in the transmission lines being underground from Maryknoll to Crestwood Terrace. The
lots along Interlachen Drive and the west side of Interlachen Way are in the smaller 10,000 sq. ft to
11,000 sq. ft. lot size range. Four of the lots do not meet the lot size requirements of the district. The
subdivision will have to be reconfigure to meet the size requirements. This may result in a loss of
lots.
The proposed drainage plan maintains runoff on site as required. Runoff is piped to NURP ponds
then directed to the wetlands. This will control the rate of runoff and quality of water.
A portion of the wetland is being filled for Interlachen Way which will require mitigation approval of a
wetland replacement plan. The mitigation plan will have to be approved before
final plat approval.
_The construction of extended Interlachen Drive shows a 8 -10 foot fill for the road. This construction
ill require a construction easement from adjacent property owners and be designed to provide
access to those lots. As proposed the raised road will effect the appearance and setting of the area.
The proposed plans show a sidewalk along Interlachen Drive and Interlachen Way. The sidewalk
,,~.
>~
should be extended to the next Intersecting street and east to Crestw",Jd Terrace.
If Interlachen Way can be vacated, a permanent end should be constructed at Crestwood Terrace
and a path connecting Crestwood Terrace to Interlachen Drive constructed.
Park dedication requirements will be provided for as land dedication or in lieu park fees based on the
city's policy and subdivision requirements.
.
Conditions of Approval:
1. The substantial lots shall be reconfigured to meet the RA lot size and area requirements.
2. All building sites shall be set back 50 feet from the designated wetland.
3. The sidewalk/trail shall be extended to Maryknoll and Bayberry Avenue and Crestwood Terrace.
4. A permanent end shall be constructed at the end of Crestwood Terrace if Interlachen Drive is
vacated.
5. The overhead utility lines along Interlachen Drive shall be relocated and underground from
Maryknoll to Crestwood Terrace.
6. The developer shall secure permission from landowners to the south of Interlachen Drive for
construction of the roadway on their property.
7. Access to lots south of Interlachen Drive shall not be inhibited by construction of Interlachen
Drive.
8. Land shall be dedicated or park dedication fee paid for to meet city park dedication
requirements.
9. A wetland mitigation plan shall be prepared and approved by the City Engineer for the loss of
wetland before final plat approval. .
10. A grading/drainage plan including erosion control and tree protection measures shall be
approved before final plat approval.
11. A 150 foot open space easement shall be recorded along Deerpath pond.
12. The existing pine trees along the west property line shall be protected and maintained.
13. A 25 foot natural buffer area shall be maintained around the wetland.
Recommendation: Approval as conditioned above.
Finding: As conditioned the subdivision is consistent with subdivision regulations, city development
standards and zoning requirements.
Attachments: Application and plans.

Case No. SUB/96-31 A preliminary plat approval for a 32-lot subdivision
on 15.22 acres located south of Bayberry Avenue Court in the RA-Single
Family Residential District. Trail Head Development Corp., applicant.
Jim Peterson of Trail Head Development and the company's surveyor and
civil engineer were present for the discussion. Mr. Peterson asked that the
requested street vacation be considered as a separate issue, subject to
approval of the preliminary plat.
Mr. Peterson briefly explained the proposed development and the history of
the site. He said it is the company's desire to accommodate and work with
neighboring property owners. The surveyor indicated the subdivision has
been created to meet city ordinances and with sensitivity to the slopes
and wetlands in the development 'area. The engineer explained measures
that have been taken to protect existing wetlands, as well as mitigation
measures that will be required as a condition of approv~1.

Speaking in opposition were: Patricia and Arthur .GiII, 302 Darrell Court;
Cindy and David Green, 204 Crestwood Terrace; Tim and Signe Cowen, 202
Crestwood Terrace; Tyler Smith, owner of three lots south of Interlachen;

Sheila Maybanks, 201 Bayberry Court; Kenneth Opsahl, 241 Bayberry Court;
Bill Moore, 261 Bayberry Court; Shelly Michaelis, Realtor; Frank Brontik,
address not given; Polly McGouflin, 143 Maryknoll; Bill Steen, 126
Maryknoll; Greg Mardaus, 141 Bayberry Court.
Concerns centered on environmental impact; drainage; the height of the
road at the rear of the development and the potential for runoff; the
additional traffic the development might generate on neighboring streets;
the potential impact on property values on existing homes; the potential
for assessments for streets/sidewalks against existing property owners.
Tyler Smith noted that the Wildpines Association had some very
restrictive covenants. He suggested that staff look at the covenants to
determine whether the proposed development might be in violation of
Case No. SUP/96-28 A special use permit for a seasonal concessions,
garden and eating area at 304 N. Main St. in the CBD, Central Business
District. Janet Calkins, applicant.
.
Ms. Calkins explained she would be cleaning up the area and adding
flowers. The concessions would be served from a solid green trailer with
8 x 1 2 awning; the trailer would be forklifted into the area.
Mr. Valsvik, seconded by Mrs. Bealka, moved approval as conditioned; all in
favor.
Case No. SUB/V96-29 A resubdivision into Parcel A, 50,000 square feet,
and Parcel B, 67,711 square feet, at 1375 Curve Crest Blvd. in the BP-I,
Business Park Industrial District. Kellison Company, applicant.
Present for the discussion were Jim Kellison and Doctors Stenberg and
Kauls. Mr. Kellison explained the requested resubdivision. Lot B would be
used for a dental clinic with three practices. Both of the lots meet the
size requirements and zoning ordinance. The owners would be willing to "
put the treed area at the rear of lot B into a conservancy zone, he said.
Mr. Hamlin asked about runoff. Mr. Kellison explained that drainage plans .
would be subject to review by the Public Works Department prior to
construction.
Mr. Valsvik, seconded by Mr. Hamlin, moved approvll as conditioned; all in
bw~ J
,
Case No. V/96-34 A variance to the sign ordinance, for two signs at 1375
Curve Crest Blvd. in the BP-I, Business Park Industrial District. Kellison
Company, Applicant.
Present for the discussion were Jim Kellison and Doctors Stenberg and
Kauls.
The applicants are requesting a monument sign on Curve Crest and a sign
on the front of their building identifying the dental clinic tenants. Mr.
Fontaine questioned the need to identify the doctors' practices on a
building sign when their names will also be on the monument sign.
Doctors Stenberg and Kauls pointed out the tenants of the dental clinic are
not in business together and maintain separate practices.

some of the pre-existing covenants. Ms. Maybanks asked the developers to
consider a development of less density, and she urged the city not to
accept a fee in lieu of park dedication land.
When the discussion returned to the table, Mr. Valsvik suggested adding a
14th condition of approval -- that the city, developers and property
owners south of Interlachen get together to address key drainage issues.
Mr. Fontaine said he was uncomfortable with the density as proposed. Mr.
Hamlin said he thought there should be additional traffic studies.
Mr. Weidner moved to continue the request until the June meeting with the
direction that addition information be provided regarding drainage/
traffic/walkways/lot size, along with recommendations from staff as
how to proceed. Mr. Zoller seconded the motion. Motion passed 8-1, with
Mr. Valsvik voting no.

1. INTRODUC710N
.
This wetland mitigation and report plan was prepared for the wetland mitigation prOject for t1:.e proposed Interlachen
Hills 3rd addition development site in Stillwater, Minnesota. The location of the proposed sinllle family development
and mitigation site are shown on tbe preliminary plat.
2. PROJECT LOCATION AND BACKGROUND
InterJachen Hills 3 rei Addition is located in the City of Stillwater east of Maxyknoll and nOI':h of tbe future right-of-
way of Interlachen Drive. Tho site comprises of approximately IS acres overlooking Deerp:: th Pond, a 7 acre DNR
.Type 4 protected wetland. The property is zoned RA. We propose to develop this propery with 31 single family
homes.
3. WETLANDDELINEATION
There are three separato wetlands on the property which were the subject of a wetland delilleation study and report
done for Jack Ocenasek by BRW, Inc. Tbe report, dated August 22, 1994 is titled ';Wetland Identification,.
Delineation and Classification Report, Intcrlacben Hills". The Delineation and Classificati on Report discussed, in
depth, the three wetlands. Centrally located on the site is a 0.76 acre Type 3 wcUand which is the wetland impacted by
the lot layout and grading activity. Along the site's west boundaly is a 0,19 acre Type 1 wetland,. and the third
wetland on the site is part of a 7 acre DNR Type 4 protected wetland along the east property I: ne.
1/. PROPOSED PROJECT ALTERNATIVES
.
In the concept stage or sketch design six different proposals were considered. Of the! e six layouts, two had
significantly less impact on the centrally located 0.76 'acre Type 3 wetland. Before the final proposal is discussed the
two alternates which had significantly less impact on the centrally located wetland will be ad,Jressed. The developers
reasons for not proceeding with these concept alternates are noted below. These two layouts i:te titled Alternate 1 and
Alternate 2 as shown in this submittal package.
4.1 l>iscussion of Alternate 1
This layout connected Pineridgc Lane and Interlachen Way and avoidcc1 the centra1J:' located 0.76 acre Type
3 wetland. lnterlachon Drive extended Eastwards and turned slightly north to end in i cul-de-sac overlooking
the 7. acre DNR Type 4 Protected wetland called Deerpath Pond. The extension (If lnterlachen Drive also
had no impact on the centrally located 0.76 acre Type 3 wetland.
The developer and engineering staff identified two problems with this concept. Firslly, the cul-de-sac would
have exceeded the maximum length of 600 feet as specified in the City of Stillwater's Engineering guidelines.
Secondly the land was topographically iU-suited to this design. The cul-de-sac would have been perched over
the DNR Type 4 protected wetland violating the slope ordinance adopted by the City of Stillwater. which
states that slopes greater than 3Ot" need to be left undisturbed and in their natural sUtte. This slope constraint
impacted the last ISO feet of the cul-de-sac which was well within this grade range. With this constraint it
was quickly realized that nearly a third of the site fell in this grade category and cou: d not be developed. For
these two problems consideration of Altem.1te 1 was suspended.

. 4,2 Discussion of Alternate 2
This layout connected an extension of Pineridge Lane with a 200 foot extensio:.n of Interlachen Drive.
Intcrlachcn Way extends into the vicinity just East of the centrally located 0.76 acre Type 3 wetland and ends
in a cul-de-sac. This alternate met all the planning and engineering requiremem s of minimum lot sizes,
frontages, setbacks, cul-de-sac lengths and grade restrictions. .
However, city staff objected to the fact that the layout did not suit the topography eneciaIly in the vicinity of
Lots 6 and 7, Block 1. With this layout there was no continuity between the ,...-esterl)' and central wetlands. A
corridor was deemed essential to any plan that was to be approved in order to provid:: a drainage way down to
the centrally located Type 3 wetland.
.
'.
This proposal did not provide full access to Lot 20, Block 2 or to the platted lots so Ith of Interlachen Drive.
With Alternate 2 future access to these lots would be delayed until a funher exteni ion ot Interlachen Drive
was designed. Discussion of alternate 2 was suspended for these reasons althc1'.lgh it remains the best
alternate.
5. INTERLACHEN HILLS J'lD ADDITION PROPOSAL
The proposed layout for Interlachcn Hills 3 rd Addition has Pineridge Lane ending in a cul-de. sac north ot the westerly
and centrally located wetlands. The extension of hlterlachen Drive and Interlachen Way Cllnnect at right angles to
each other with Interlachen Way going around the east edge of the centrally located 1)pe 3 wetJand. InterJachen Way
avoids the entire wetland e:<cept for a finger shaped outlet on the northeast edge which providl:d the only natural outlet
for the wetlands. The road elevation of Interlachen Way is higher than the wetland caus: ng the natural overflow
elevation of 920.7 to be blocked. In our proposal we show 8-manmade outlet the ha"ing the same outlet elevation as
the natural predevelopment condition. The extent of the filling of the centrally located 0.76 acre Type 3 wetland for
the road right-cf.way and the slOpe to the sediment'pond can be seen in the wetland mitigati:m plan, on the Wetland
Mitigation Plan. This area is approximately 3182 SF.
The only other impact of the centrally located Type 3 wetland lies on its south edge along th, lnterlaehen Drive side.
The lots along this street extend into the wetland. One single family lot was taken out of the :)riginat preliminary plat
submittal to ensure that we met the 10000 SP upland requirements that the City of Stillwater has in their city
ordinance. The single family houses require a benched area for the walkouts and then a natm-al sloped buffer for the
rear yard runoff entering the wetland. The south edge of the centrally located Type 3 wetlanl: will be filled as seen in
wetland mitigation plan. The amount of filling on the south side of the centrally 100; ted Type 3 wetland is
approximately 5922 SF. In total this de'\'elopment proposes to fill 9014 SF of the centrally located Type 3 wetland.
6, MI'llG('t lION SITES
We propose to mitigate this wetland filling on !lite and not at a wetland banking site. Mitillation is to take place in
three areas. Two of these areas are shown in wetland mitigation plan and the third is alongs.ide but separate from the
1 acre .DNR. 1'ype 4 :Protected weUand.
6. t) Site 1
In order to dissipate the energy of the water flowing through the wetland emergen, '1Y overflow and to treat
some of the runoff from Crestwood Terrace a pond at the base of the hill is prop<lscd. The pond is cigar
shaped and lies acijacent to the 7 acre DNR Type 4 Protected wetland but will not I: e connected to it except
for a rip rap overflow positioned as far as possible away from any inlets. 'This pond will serve as an energy
dissipation pond with the inlets designed with rip rap and potextile fabric accordillg to MNDOT standard
plate number 3133B. It will also be an area at wetland mitigation. The prollosed mitigated area is
approximately 3643 SF.

FROM Panasonic PPF
6.2) Site 1:
The centrally located Type 3 wetlajul, the wetland impacted by the development w ill be enlarged along the
northwest edge as shown in the wetland mitigation plan. The amount of mitigalio: 1 of the centrally located
Type 3 wcUand is approximately 10246 SF.
6.3) Site 3:
The remainder of the area needed to be mitigated will be located along the north (;jge of the most westerly
Type' 1 wetland. With the recent modifications, changes and revisions in the state statutes and laws
concerning wetlands, the size of tItis mitigation area may change due to the LGiJ's interpretation of the
replacement ratios. As shown on in wetland mitigation plan the mitigation area is approximately 3993 SF.
This brings the total amount of area ntitigated to 17882 SF. This mitigation repl::cement ratio is 1 : 1.98
without taking into account any of the allowed fill for any of the wetlands on the prorerty.
7, WETLAND CREATION
In order to create this mitigation site silt fence shall surround the wetland area as ShO~1 n on the grading plan.
Preventing erosion and sediment deposits in sensitive areas shall be a high priority. All erosi:m control measures will
be in place belore any grading acthity begins on site. The mitigation area around the centrally loeated 0.76 acre Type
3 wetland wiU be created with an undulating bottom elevation to promote a diversity of \.'Ctland veptation. The
excavation of the mitigated areas shall be done prior to the filling of the Type 3 wetland. This will allow for the
removal or strippillg of the rooting zone Inaterial of the areas to be filled which can th(lll be re-spread over the
mitigated areas. The rooting zone within the average water level elevations will contaiJ:l the aquatic vegetation
diversity of the Type 3 wetland.. It was noted in the delineation report, dated August 2.~, 1994 titled "Wetland
Identification, Delineation and Classification Report, Interlachen Hills" that it "had very little vegetation." By
introducing this rooting zone material to the westerly Type 1 wetland we may improve its aql/atio vegetation diversity.
The plan reference points we. propose to use are the manholes located at the end of the two i lXisting dead end streets
that enter the site along the north edge. The exact locations and elevations are noted on the pl. UlS.

St. Paul, Mn 55155
Dear Mr. Downing,
On behalf of a group of Stillwater residents concerned about the impact of a
housing development on a wetland, I am presenting this citizens petition that an
environmental assessment worksheet be done on the proposed development.
,
The names on this petition represent a good sampling of the people concerned
about this development. We continue to build support for our cause as each
day goes by.
Our main concern is that we receive a neutral and fair assessment on the
environmental impact of this proposed development. The wetland the
developers seek to partially fill Is the highlight of a very unique natural resource
for property that is within ,a medium-sized city's limits,
I have enclosed three maps to help give you a better understanding of the
property. -
A. A St. Croix Watershed Management District photo showing the
proposed development is located directly above the 829-5 DNR-
protected wetland.
B. The National Wetlands Inventory classification as a PEMG or Type
3 wetland.
C. The proposed plat showing how the developer plans to fill the
wetland.
Thank you very much for consideration of this petition, Please forward it to the
appropriate Responsible Governmental Unit (RGU): If you have any questions,
please call me at 439-4131.
Sincerely,
j) o..4:J '\ ~ G ~'Q ~

A Citizen Petition
for an
Environmental Assessment
. Worksheet
June 28, 1996
.
We the undersigned citizens of Stillwater request that the City
of Stillwater fill out an Environmental Assessment Worksheet on the
proposed 30-plus unit subdivision just north of Meadowlark Park. (A
15.2 acre plot of land located south of Bayberry Court in the RA-Single
Family Residential District - case No. SUB/96-31.)
Description of the project: The Trail Head Development
Corporation Is proposing a 30-plus unit development that would
completely surround a one and a half acre Type 3 wetland located on
the top of a hill that drains into a DNR-protected wetland within
Stillwater's city lImits.
Petitioner representative: David Green 204 Crestwood Terrace,
Stillwater, MN 55082 (612) 439-4131.
Potential environmental effects:
1. The Trailhead Development Corporation proposes to fill in a
Type 3 wetland In a manner that Is In violation of Minnesota's
Wetlands Conservation Act. This will have a devastating impact on
the wetland's unique natural characteristics.
2. We believe the Corporation has not done an adequate job
assessing the development's Impact on water quality both in the
proposed developed wetland and In the DNR- protected wetland
located 80 feet directly below the proposed development.
3. We are concerned about the development's negative impact on
. a city park and a privately-owned lake both located less than 150
yards from the project.

Citizen Petition
To be discussed at the July 2, 1996 Stillwater City Council Meeting
We the undersigned citizens of Stillwater request the City of
Stillwater to fill out an Environmental Quality Board (EQB)
Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EA W) on the proposed
30-plus unit subdivision just north of Meadowlark Park. (a 15.2 acre
plot of land located south of Bayberry Court in the RA-Single Family
Residential District. case No. SUB/96-31.)
Furthermore, we request that the City of Stillwater assess the open
space passive recreational value of the plot and develop a proposal
that would allow public access to the wetland.

Material Evidence
.
1. Illegal filling of wetland
According to the Wetland Conservation Act in Minnesota Statutes, anyone who wishes to alter a
wetland must demonstrate that they have tried to avoid the wetland. A wetland can only be altered
if there's no way to avoid it. We belie~e that the wetland fill in this O8se can definitely be avoided.
There is only one or two lots to be gained under the current proposal, and increasing profit,
according to the law. is not grounds for altering a wetland.
We believe the sequenoing provisions in state law do not allow for filling this Type 3 wetland in the
manner they are proposing. They are proposing to fill more than 400 square feet in the
southwest corner of the wetland whloh is illegal under sequencing provisions.
Also, we understand that Trail Head Development Corp. has another plan for the area that does
not develop the south end of the wetland, so it certainly is avoidable.
Minnesota law (Rule 8420.0520 Subp. 3.01) requires that an applicant shall provide the local
government unit with documentation desoribing at least two alternatives to the project, one of
which may be a no-build alternative. that would avoid impaots to wetlands. The altematives may
inolude consideration of alternative sites or altematlve project configurations on the proposed
site. The alternatives must be judged by the local government unit as good faith efforts I or the
local government unit may require the applicant to redraft them for reconsideration.
The developer has allegedly offered one alternative to the city which the city engineer has
deemed inferior to the approved plat. However. neither the planning commission. city council or
the public have been privy to that discussion and all deselVe to review the Information. which
again is only one, not two alternatives.
.
2. Water Quality
We question whether the ci~ and or developer are following all required best management
praotloes oalled for under Minnesota Statutes Chapter 103H.
We are concerned about chemical runoff into the wetland. WhOa we applaud the city for requiring
a 25 foot buffer; the county requirement Is 75 feet. There are 6everallota that come very close to
the wetland. With a 25 foot buffer, there won't be much lawn space and we're concerned that the
tendency will be to infringe on the buffer space. Also. with 80 many homes close to the wetland,
lawn chemicals and other pollutants are likely to run right Into the wetland, not the NERP ponda
they are proposing to deal with this problem,
We believe the erosion control plans that have been implemented In Stillwater have not been
adequate. As you will see from pictures taken along Highway 5, the single silt fence staked every
8 feet is not adequate, Silt runs in under the fences, the fences break down and silt runs over
them and the damage is obvious on Highway 5, Residents of the Long Lake area are suing the
City for poor water quality management in the Cub FoodslTarget development. And a group
concerned about water quality in Lily Lake Is vocal as well.
We believe that the construction of the energy dissipation pond at the bottom of the hill will have
an adverse impact on the DNR-protected wetland. We also believe the pond will not be able to
handle the volume of contaminated water flowing into the DNR..protected 'wetland.
We are concerned that the construction of the NERP ponds around the wetland at the top of the
hill and the mitigating of that wetland will devastate the native populations of the wetlar:d. w.
believe the population will not recover after the project is finished and we will be left with a lesser
quality environment.

Impact on city park and privately-owned lake
The current plan calls for raisIng the a stretch of land four feet along the south end of the
proposed development to allow for the construc:tlon of a road In and out of the development.
We believe this road could have an adverse impaot on Meadowlark Park, a small city park located
less 150 yards from the proposed developed and adjacent to property that could be developed
as a result of this project. The land being proposed as a road is already located on an incline from
the park. Raising the elevation four feet would increase run-off Into an already poorly drained
park. This water drains directly into the DNA-protected wetland located at the bottom of the hill.
The developer has said that he would fix the drainage problem in lieu of setting aside park land on
his property. We would like a neutral review of any plan put forward and an assessment of its
impact on the DNR.protected wetland.
Adjacent property development could also have an adverse impact on a small privately-owned
lake located Just south and west of the project. The lake lies down hill from development that
could take place if the project goes through. The lake is owned by approximately 15 homeowners
whose property surrounds the lake and they have threatened legal action if any additional water
drains into their lake.
Alternatives
The petitioning citizens support two alternatives.
1. A no-build alternative whereby the land is donated to a land trust and kept as a passive
recreational use park. The landowner would recleve a 6ubstantial tax write-off on land that is
undevelopable and the residents of Stillwater could enjoy of very beautiful natural area for
decades to come. We would like the City of Stillwater to pu~ue this opportunity with the
Minnesota Land Trust.
2. The developer creates a less.dense plan that does not fill in the wetland and leaves more of
the land in Its natural state.

SUBJECT: Territorial Prison Site
At your meeting on June 18, 1996, the City Council approved the review of this project by an
outside consultant (Sid Inman from Publicorp/EWers). The developers were notified of this in
the morning on June 19, 1996 and instructed as to the information they should submit to Mr.
Inman.
I had a meeting scheduled with Mr. Inman on Tuesday morning June 25, 1996 to discuss the
project. Unfortunately, Mr. Inman had not received the requested information by our meeting
time and then he was heading out of town to a conference.
As of today @ noon, the developer had not provided any information to the consultant.
Based on this, I would recommend the City Council table this issue until such time as the
information has been provided to the consultant and their review of the project has been provided
to the city.

DATE: June 28, 1996
SUBJECT: Territorial Prison Site Engineering Issues
DISCUSSION
At the last city council meeting staff presented council with the cost of completing an
engineering study of the stone retaining walls along the Territorial Prison. Council choose not to
move forward with an in depth engineering study, therefore, I met with Dick Moore at the site to
make an informal review of the wall.
Our investigation found there are a couple of failures on the wall that are in need of immediate
repair. In addition, there are trees up to 8" diameter which are growing up through the wall
which need to be removed. We also found that the upper three feet of the wall in several areas is
showing significant signs of distress. Finally, we noted many locations where there are minor
failures that should be patched or repaired.
Without doing a comprehensive study it's very difficult to come up with some reasonable figures
for the costs of repairs for replacement, therefore all the numbers presented in the following
discussion should be taken with a substantial helping of salt. Looking at the entire wall system
there are very roughly about 60,000 sq. ft. of wall. To reconstruct the entire wall similar to the
wall at the River View parking lot would be about 4 million dollars or more. Obviously, this
option is not a feasible option. The alternative approach would be to make immediate repairs
now to stop the current failures, take some preventive steps to reduce the chance of future
failures and then plan on a continuing maintenance program to keep the wall from failing.
Assuming that the wall needs to stand for another 50 or even 100 years it is quite difficult to put
numbers on the cost of ongoing maintenance. A rough estimate to get the wall into satisfactory
condition is estimated at least $200,000.00. This assumes that the wall will be constructed in a
manner that approximates the historical character of the existing wall. Assuming that
periodically additional failures and repairs will need to be made it is estimated that between
$100,000.00 and 200,000.00 will be needed every 10 years to take care of these issues as they
arise. Therefore a yearly cost of between $10,000.00 and $20,000.00 for maintenance and
ongoing repairs seems reasonable.
It does need to be stressed that all these are simply quesstimates, actual costs could be less or
significantly more.
RECOMMENDATION
This information is for council discussion.

0: MAYOR & CITY COUNCIL
FROM: DIANE DEBLON. FINANCE DIRECTOR
DATE: JULY 2. 1996
SUBJECT: TERRITORIAL PRISON HOTEL DEVELOPMENT
Mr. Inman. the consultant. provided me with some analysis for immediate
review. Because the information was just received today at 11:00 a.m..
staff has not had adequate time to review and analyze it. Major issues
raised by Mr. Inman are as follows:
1. LARD PURCHASE. Purchase of the land should be contingent on the
Gerard Development. proof of financing . a signed franchise agreement
(with a full-service hotel like Radison ) and ability to use the balance
of bond proceeds & other city funds. If the city chooses to purchase
without these conditions. other sources of funds need to be identified
for the $870.000 purchase and $10.125 per month in carrying costs.
2. TIF. The developer has requested 100% of the tax increment for 12
years. The estimated tax increment is $139.000 per year or a total
amount of $1.668.000. Using a discount rate of 9.5% (the developer's
financing rate) the present value of this is $816.271. The developer
.eeds to identify eligible TIF construction costs of this amount to
rovide this level of assistance. The city should also specify the exact
amount of assistance and have the opportunity to prepay. In this case.
TIF generated as a result of inflation would remain with the city.
3. TAX CREDITS. The proforma Mr. Inman reviewed assumed the project did
not receive any historical tax credits. If tax credits are received. the
equity positions would change and the return on the proforma would go up.
Therefore. the need for tax increment assistance should go down. (It was
my understanding from previous statements submitted by the developers.
that there would be approximately $975.000 in historical tax credits on
the project.)
4. COST REDUCTIORS. Other construction cost savings or increases in
hotel room revenues could reduce the need for tax increment even more and
the city may want to review the project annually to provide a stated
level of return to the equity holders.
5. SECURITY. Security for the project should be at two levels of
security. The first is a higher level of security during construction.
This is required because if the project fails during. construction. the
city needs to be a party to the discussions on how to finish the project.
By having some level of security (bond. insurance. letter of credit).
this allows the city some control in the outcome of the construction.
Once the project is built. the security could be reduced to a different
.. level. After construction it can be assumed that even in default it will
probably continue to operate. Therefore the cities' goal after
construction is just to get its investment back.
6. FUTURE SALE OF HOTEL. Sale of the property or refinancing prior to
the 10 year term should require the city getting paid back for its
investment as part of the transaction.
As stated previously. staff received this info. today and has not had
adequated time to thoroughly analyze. Any other costs related to this
project such as drainage. retaining wall and holding costs have yet to
be financed.

Stillwater Hotel/Parkland Project
Territorial Coalition, Inc., a local developer is planning to build a 1 J 7
room hotel/conference center with surrounding parkland on the old
Territorial Prison Site. The proposed parkland will have an interpretive
pathway depicting the Site's history which includes some of its most
infamous prisoners, the Outlaw Youngers.
These building have been placed on the National Historic Register and
are considered to be an important part of our states history. The
developer is asking for the City's assistance as the costs to rehabilitate
these historic structures are extraordinarily higher than it would be if
they were to be tom down.
.
,-
In the proposal, the City would purchase the 10 acre Site for $870,000.
The City would then sell half of the Site (5 acres) to the developer and
retain the surrounding parkland including the interpretive pathway
while the developer will agree to maintain the grounds. The developer
would agree to pay for the remaining portion of the land with interest
at 7% all due and payable ten years from the date of the purchase.
The total payment of the interest and principal after ten years would
be $870,000 meaning the City would be reimbursed the entire
purchase price, retain 5 acres of parkland and have a viable business
at the north end of town creating an annual tax base of about
$266,000 per year.
To purchase this project the City would use funds from the sale of the
UBC site in downtown Stillwater and funds from the early repayment of
some other debt. This mean NO ADDITIONAL TAX LEVIES would be
required to raise funds for the purchase of this site.

Mayor Jay Kimble
City of Stillwater
Dear Mayor Kimble:
I have visited Stillwater several times over the past decade and have found it to be a lovely
community steeped in history. Brent Petersen has recently made me aware of the possibility
of the original twine factory and wherehouse buildings of the Stillwater Prison being saved
and preserved.
I would like to urge the citizens of Stillwater to support such a project as too many historic
buildings are being lost to progress these days. If we all don't do something to support those
who elect to safeguard these representatives of our heritage we soon will have nothing left
but photographs and memories.
The Chamber of Commerce of the City of Lee's Summit, Missouri is currently attempting
to resurrect a home built in the 1850s by the Younger family. The committee is having a
difficult time raising the necessary funds to restore the house not because of a lack of
interest but because the cost is overwhelming. This same city allowed the house to be
condemned and scheduled for destruction just fifteen or so years ago because some small
minded people did not want to "glorify" the family of outlaws by preserving the house. Only
because I arrived in time to spare it the wrecking ball by buying out the demolition contract,
having the house taken down piece by piece and stored does the city today have the
opportunity to rebuild this most historic building. Not only will the house be a major tourist
attraction for the area but plans are under way to make the house a museum and study
center should the funds be raised. I'm sure the City of Lee's Summit regrets that the house
was not preserved before being dismantled thus saving them an enormous amount of money
and time once they realized how important an asset the house could be to the historical
heritage of their city.
It is my hope that Stillwater won't make the same mistake and will realize the importance
of its historical buildings before it is too late.
Sincerely,
~~~

redevelopment of Stillwater's historic downtown through the proposed TIF district. Our future
condo owners will have the satisfaction of knowing that their investment is not only in their own
real-estate but the entire community.
Again, we believe that the redevelopment of the Territorial Prison Site as hotel is a remarkable
undertaking for the City of Stillwater to support and participate in.

The City of Stillwater Council Members
Dear Mayor And Council Members:
I wish to take this opportunity to express my opinion and to vote favorably to
approve the purchase of the prison site as proposed by the Territorial Coalition,
I have been in marketing and development for over 30 years and can't think of a
better use or need for this property. The city of Stillwater should have this type
of facility in order to be competitive with other cities for the revenues generated
from visitors and convention business.
The entire city will benefit from a successful hotel operation and will also
encourage future development to the area and particularly to the north end of
the city.
I will be in attendance Tuesday, July 2nd, 1996 and would be happy to comment
further on the other benefits dirived from this project.
Very Truly Yours,

RE:
Orderly Annexation Agreement
DA:
June 28, 1996
Discussion:
Staff has previously submitted comments on the Orderly Annexation Agreement. Although staff
still have some concerns about the impact of some of the provisions of the agreement it is
understood that the agreement, as now written, is necessary in order to have Township approval
to proceed with annexation and development of the subject areas.
Staff would strongly recommend that the City commission Tautges and Redpath to review the
agreement and the development areas to determine the potential financial impact of the
annexation and especially the development as it relates to utility trunk costs. Other areas to be
studied would be the commitments/obligations the City would have pertaining to rural versus
urban tax rates, reimbursement of taxes to the Township, hook-up charges, and other material
items.
These are all items that have changed since the initial report prepared by Tautges and Redpath
and it would be in the best interest of the City to have updated financial information. This
information could be provided to the City prior to the filing of any annexation. It is estimated
that the cost of the report would be about $5000.
Recommendation:
City commission Tautges and Redpath to prepare an updated fiscal impact analysis based on the
approved annexation agreement.

AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF STILLWATER
. AND THE TOWN OF STILLWATER FOR GROWTH MANAGEMENT.
ORDERLY ANNEXATION AND THE EXERCISE OF JOINT POWERS
FOR PLANNING AND LAND USE CONTROL
THIS AGREEMENT is made this day of , 1996, ("Effective
Date") between the City of Stillwater, Washington County, Minnesota ("City") and the Town
of Stillwater, Washington County, Minnesota ("Town") and is an agreement relating to
growth management and constitutes a "Joint Resolution" between the City and Town
authorized by Minnesota Statutes ~414.0325 providing for a procedure and a framework for
orderly annexation of a part of the Town to the City. This Agreement also provides for the
joint exercise by the City and Town of their respective planning and land use control
authority pursuant to Minn. Stat. 471,59 and Minn. Stat. 414.0325 (Subd. 5).
SECTION ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.01 Certain land owners within the Town have petitioned the City for annexation and for
the extension of municipal utilities. Since receiving the petition, the City has
undertaken a review of its Comprehensive Plan and has studied the ability of the City
to provide services to the area and has concluded that if the area requesting services is
developed into urban uses the City would ultimately be benefited by a broadened tax
base and a more vital community and that urban growth in the annexation area would
benefit the City. The Town has participated in a review of the City's Comprehensive
Plan and has concluded that it would be beneficial to the Town, and to property
owners remaining in the Town after annexation, to enter this Agreement with the City
so that the area to be annexed will be developed in an orderly fashion and with the
least possible impact on the people of the Town.
INTENT
1.02 The parties to this agreement intend it to be binding with all the rights, privileges,
and obligations attached thereto. Both parties intend to be bound by this agreement
and shall not violate its terms. Neither party shall exercise any legislative authority
either now existing or which may be later created in a way which violates the terms
of the agreement. Both parties understand that they may not limit the power of the
legislature over annexation, and such is not their intent. Instead, the parties agree to
refrain from exercising any legislative authority, now or into the future, in a way that
would violate the terms of this agreement.
35667.01F
OS/23/96
-1-
INCLUSION INTO COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
.
1.03 Within sixty (60) days of the City's adoption of this Joint Resolution, the City shall
adopt and forward to the Metropolitan Council a Comprehensive Plan Amendment
incorporating the Orderly Annexation Agreement into the City's Comprehensive Plan.
SECTION TWO
ORDERLY ANNEXATION AREA
2.01 The property described in Exhibit "A" that is subject to annexation by the City
pursuant to this Agreement will constitute the "Orderly Annexation Area". This area
includes all that area of the Town not now within the City that lies North of Highway
36, East of County Road 15 and South of Highway 96, except for that portion of the
Town that lies North of the right-of-way of the Minnesota Zephyr Track and East of
the Oak Glen development. The Orderly Annexation Area is designated as in need of
orderly annexation and no consideration by the Minnesota Municipal Board is
necessary, no alteration of the boundaries is appropriate, and all conditions of
annexation have been provided for in this Resolution and the Minnesota Municipal
Board may review and comment only and within thirty (30) days of receipt of this
Resolution and each subsequent phase as described in this Agreement upon the filing
of a Resolution as described in this Agreement.
SECTION THREE
PHASING SCHEDULE
.
3.01 The Town and City agree that phasing the growth envisioned for the annexation area
would benefit the City by reducing the fmancial risk of extending core facilities into
the Orderly Annexation Area by extending such facilities gradually rather than at one
time. This would also allow for the burden imposed by the growth to be gradually
born by the City so that the level of services needed by the new development could be
supplied on a gradual and phased basis. The Town has agreed that a phased
development plan as envisioned by this Agreement would benefit the Town by
phasing the impact of lost tax base on the remaining Town government and easing
fmancial and lifestyle burdens that an immediate annexation of the entire area would
impose on Town residents. For the purposes of this Agreement, the Orderly
Annexation Area will be divided into four (4) phases described as follows:
Phase I Description
3.02 Phase I contains that property described in Exhibit "B", generally described as that
part of the Town that is South of County Road 12, East of County Road 15 and North
of Highway 36, except for the following property that will remain as Phase IV
property unless Annexation is requested by the property owner pursuant to Section
4.08 herein:

SECTION FIVE
COMMERCIAL AND OTHER DEVELOPMENT
5.01
Commercial Development within the Annexation Area will be limited to the 6.3 acres
of commercial property at the southeast quadrant of C.S.A.H. 12 and C.S.A.H. 15,
and the Bergman and Bradshaw property along Highway 36 between County Road 5
and County Road 15. These are the only properties designated for commercial use in
the City's Comprehensive Plan.
5.02
Within sixty (60) days of the City's adoption of this Joint Resolution, the City will
amend its Zoning Ordinance to include a separate zoning classification that will be
described as "Village Commercial Zoning" or "Neighborhood Commercial" with
separate guidelines, standards and design criteria designed to meld the 6.3 acre
commercial area into the rural setting of the adjacent residential property remaining in
the development and the Town as described in Exhibit "E".
5.03
Within sixty (60) days of the City's adoption of this Joint Resolution, the City will
amend its Zoning Ordinance to include a separate zoning classification for the
Bergman and Bradshaw properties to be known as the "Research and Development
District" that will have standards and criteria consistent with the classification
described in the Comprehensive Plan. The district will house office, light industrial
and service uses in a coordinated planned unit development campus setting.
5.04 Agriculture will continue to be a permitted use in the areas re-zoned pursuant to this
Section.
SECTION SIX
ASSESSMENT AND UTILITY POLICY
6.01 Concurrent with the adoption of this "Joint Resolution", the City Council will adopt
an assessment policy that will protect new City property owners who are neither
subdividing their property nor requesting municipal services from special assessments
and utility charges for sanitary sewer, storm sewer, water and street upgrading. The
policy shall be as follows:
a. Except as set forth in Section 6.04, no property will be assessed for sanitary
sewer or required to pay sanitary sewer hook-up or utility charges if the property is
not connected to public sanitary sewer.
b. Except as set forth in Section 6.04, no property will be assessed for municipal
water or required to pay water hook-up or utility charges if the property is not
connected to the municipal water system.
c. No property will be assessed for storm water improvements or required to pay
storm water hook-up or utility charges prior to subdivision of the property.
35667.01F
OS/23/96
-5-
d. Any property which hooks-up to City sanitary sewer shall pay a hook-up
charge which will not exceed Twenty-Five Hundred Dollars ($2,500.00). The $2,500
limit shall be inclusive of all trunk or core facilities, laterals and other public costs
associated with the installation of and hook-up to the system.
e. Any property which hooks-up to City municipal water system shall pay a
hook-up charge which will not exceed Twenty-Five Hundred Dollars ($2,500.00).
The $2,500 limit shall be inclusive of all trunk or core facilities, laterals and other
public costs associated with the installation of and hook-up to the system.
f. Property which is not being subdivided will not be assessed for the cost of
street improvements necessitated by development occurring within the orderly
annexation area. However, if the street is substandard at the time of the
improvement, the property may be assessed an amount equal to the assessment that
would have been levied by the Town, if any, under the Town assessment policy in
effect prior to the annexation of Phase One. The property may be subject to
additional deferred assessments payable if and when the property is subdivided.
"Substandard" is determined by Township standards in effect prior to the annexation
of Phase I.
g. If a property hooks up to City sewer or water it will be charged for one hook-
up as per Section 6.01 d and e regardless of whether the property can be further
subdivided. Additional hook-up charges will be due at the time the property is
subdivided based upon the hook-up charges in effect at that time.
6.02 Concurrent with the City's adoption of this "Joint Resolution", the City will adopt a
sanitary sewer and water hook-up policy which includes the following provisions
relating to property within the orderly annexation area:
a. Prior to subdivision of the property, no property owner will be required to
hook-up to the City's municipal water system.
b. Prior to subdivision of the property, no property owner will be required to
hook-up to the City's sanitary sewer system unless hook-up is mandated by State
Statute or Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) regulation and enforcement
action is initiated. A property owner will be permitted to upgrade or replace a failing
system in accordance with MPCA standards. The City ordinance will not impose
regulations that are more stringent than those required by the MPCA.
6.03 This section does not require the City, if requested to by a Property Owner ,to extend
sanitary sewer service to property which has a failed on-site system if the extension is
not feasible or cost effective.
6.04 The benefits and limitations set forth in this Section do not apply nor are they for the
benefit of owners who subdivide their property.

6.05 The limitations in Sections 6.01 d and e will be annually adjusted commencing
January 1, 1997 based upon the Consumer Price Index for Urban Consumers (CP-U).
SECTION SEVEN
REAL ESTATE TAXATION
7.01 Rural Tax Rate Ad1ustment. It is recognized that there is a significant difference
between the City's municipal percent of tax capacity rate, which is approximately .35
percent for the calendar year 1996, and the Town's existing percent of tax capacity
rate of .17 percent and that to require property that is brought into the City against
the wishes of a property owner to pay the full municipal rate would be burdensome.
The City, therefore, will concurrent with the City's adoption of this "Joint
Resolution" amend, subject to the second reading required by City Charter, its Rural
Service Taxing District Ordinance to include:
a. A rural service district that will include only parcels that are not connected to
municipal sewer or water services.
b. A rural service tax rate that will be set at seventy-five percent (75 %) of the
City Urban Service District rate.
c. Pursuant to Minn. Stat. 414.035, for parcels that have not requested
annexation, the initial rural service tax rate in the year of annexation will be Fifty
percent (50%) of the urban rate, with the percentage being increased five percent
(5%) each year to the seventy-five percent (75%) rural service rate.
7.02
Tax Rate Adjustment for Parcels Not Requesting Annexation. Pursuant to Minn.
Stat. 414.035, for parcels that have not requested annexation and do not qualify for
the rural service taxing district, the initial urban tax rate in the year of annexation will
be fifty percent (50%) of the urban rate, with the percentage being increased 10
percent (10%) each year for five (5) years to the full urban rate.
7.03
Tax Payment to Town. During the term of this Agreement, taxes received by the
City based upon the tax capacity generated from any area annexed in the year of
annexation will be paid over to the Town and thereafter the amount to be paid to the
Town will be reduced by twenty percent (20%) each year until the amount reaches
zero (0), when taxes based upon the full tax capacity will remain with the City. For
the purpose of this section, any increase in tax capacity over the tax capacity
generated in the year of annexation will remain with the City.
7.04 Year of Annexation. If the annexation becomes effective on or before August 1 of
any year, the City may levy on the annexed area beginning with that year. If the
annexation becomes effective after August 1 of any year, the Town may continue to
levy on the annexed area for that year, and the City may not levy in the annexed area
until the following year.

SECTION EIGHT
JOINT PLANNING AND LAND USE CONTROL
.
8.01 The purpose of this section of the Agreement is to provide for the joint exercise of
governmental authority by the City and Town pursuant to Minn. Stat. 471.59 and
414.0325, Subd. 5 in order to insure orderly development within the annexation area
in accordance with this Orderly Annexation Agreement and the City's Comprehensive
Plan.
8.02 The powers set forth herein shall be exercised by a four (4) member board consisting
of two (2) City Council members appointed by the City and two (2) Town Board
members appointed by the Town Board of Supervisors.

property and development applications within the Orderly Annexation Area before its
annexation by the City in order to insure that the property remains in a status
available for development into urban density residential uses in accordance with the
City's Comprehensive Plan. The area north of the railroad tracks and east of the Oak
Glen development and south of Highway 96 shall remain in the present conservency
zoning classification now in effect in the area. A zoning classification for the
Bergman farm that is the same as the City's Research and Development Zoning
District will be adopted in order to protect the area from development that would
prevent or frustrate the eventual urban development of the farm as an Urban Research
and Development Center. Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the Town's
approval of a subdivision of a parcel of land into three or fewer lots with a minimum
lot size of 2.5 acres.
.
8.04 As to property within the Orderly Annexation Area after its annexation into the City,
the Joint Board shall have the following delegated powers:
a. Approve amendments to the City's Comprehensive Plan relating to the Orderly
Annexation Area;
b. Approve the initial adoption of, amendments to, or variances from the City's
official controls relating to the Orderly Annexation Area.
c. Approve any special assessment and sanitary sewer and water hook-up
ordinance or policy and any amendments for consistency with Section Six.
d. Approve the Rural Service Taxing District ordinance or any amendments
thereto, for consistency with Section Seven herein.
e. Review and comment on the consistency of any development application with

matter. Any required public hearing before the City Planning Commission or
City Council shall also be noticed as a public hearing before the Joint Board.
g.
Final action by the City relating to matters described in ~8.04, Subd. (a), (b),
(c) or (d) may not be taken unless the Joint Board certifies approval of the
action. If the Joint Board fails to certify approval, the Joint Board Members
shall designate a qualified neutral from the Minnesota Supreme Court Certified
Neutrals list to conduct Alternative Dispute Resolution ("ADR") in the form of
mediation/arbitration ("Med-Arb") or such other agreed upon ADR format. If
mediation fails, the Neutral will issue a recommended decision. The Joint
Board will adopt Findings of Fact and Decision consistent with the Neutral's
recommendation and supported by the administrative record developed by the
City and Joint Board. The Neutral shall base the recommended decision on
the City and Joint Board administrative record, any applicable provision of the
Orderly Annexation Agreement and legal principles which the Joint Board and
City are required to follow in determining the matter at issue.
h.
Development applications subject only to review and comment by the Joint
Board pursuant to Paragraph 8.04(e) herein shall be processed in the same
manner as all other development applications except as follows:
(1)
The Joint Board shall meet before the Planning Commission completes
its consideration of the application. Minutes of the Joint Board's
discussion of the application shall be included in materials submitted to
the Planning Commission. No public hearing need be conducted at the
Joint Board meeting;

physical development of the city and use of land, or any detail thereof and implement
the general objectives of the comprehensive plan, including ordinances establishing
zoning, subdivision controls, site plan regulations and official maps.
8.06 The Joint Board will not be responsible for any staff time, consultant expenses or
other costs incurred by the City and Town in connection with the processing and
review of any matter which requires approval by the Joint Board. The Town and
City will be responsible for paying their own employees, consultants and Joint Board
members. Any expenditure incurred by the Joint Board, including the appointnient of
a Neutral to conduct ADR proceedings, if necessary, shall be apportioned seventy-five
percent (75%) to the City and twenty-five percent (25%) to the Town.

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

the Orderly Annexation Area.
SECTION TWELVE
INFRASTRUCTURE INSTALLATION WITHIN THE TOWNSHIP
12.01 When sewer and water trunk facilities will be extended through Town area in order to
serve phases of the Orderly Annexation Area that are ready for urban development,
the City agrees to notify the Town Board of the development plans. The City will

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

.
RESULTS FROM STILLWATER/STILL \V A TER TO\VNSH~P
JOINT TASK FORCE l'tlEETINGS
Guideposts for Joint Planning
-- The following policies and principles were discussed and considered by the joint task force as
planning guideposts for cooperation between the city and township.
The guideposts are the result of six-months pf meetings and discussion and reflects a consensus
of direction, although neither the City of Stillwater nor Stillwater Township have officially
endorse the statements.
Overall Planning
Determine the desired growth rate and phasing of urban services to accommodate planned for
growth as needed for the urban-rural ~ition planning area (URTP A) for the 25-year,planning
period 1995 - 2020.
NOTE: The urban-rural transition planning area (UR TP A) is the area west of
Stillwater currently in Stillwater Township bordered by Dellwood Road (IE 96),
on the north, Manning Avenue (CR 15) on the west and Highway 36 on the south.
This area represents the ultimate future planning area for the City of Stillwater.
Skeleton Framework
New development \'till respect the environmental framework of the plan. This framework
in~ludes wetlands, woodlands, windbreaks and sloped areas.
Natural drainage systems shall be used in new development areas to promote the recharge of
water tables and to reduce the speed and amount of run off.
Views from major public roads of new development in the URn> A shall be screened by existing
vegetation and land forms, new landscaping, wetlands and greenways. Major public roads
include Dellwood Road, Manning Avenue, McKusick Road, Boutwell Avenue and Highway 36.
Any new non-residential development shall be buffered from all adjacent residential uses,
connected by trails to residential areas and appear visually subdued in a landscaped setting as
viewed from public roads. .
Design new subdivisions to minimize through traffic and when necessary design neighborhood
collector streets with greater setbacks, landscaping and pedestrian and bike trails.
Create new neighborhoods in city growth areas that retain elements of Stillwater's small town
1
.
. . . .
.
.
, .
.
~'d" d h
1 entlty, appearance an c aracter.
Deyelop special design guidelines and performance standards using the planned unit
development process to implement visual screening, park, open space and trail way and natural
-resource policies.
Available Areas for Development
There are approximately 500 acres of vacant land in the URTP A to be developed at either
to\\llship and city densities.
Preserve historic resources and unique land forms in growth area to maintain elements of the
areas past and provide and id~ntity to new development.
Park, Recreation, Open Space Development
Develop an overall trail system for the URTPA areas that connects new residential development
areas to existing and proposed trials on McKusick Road, Myrtle Street and County Road 5 and
connects all residential areas in the URTP A from Dellwood Road to 62nd Street
_New residential development areas should include desirable design elements from existing city
neighborhoods including a mix of housing types, landscaped streets, accessible neighborhood
parks and open space areas and a unique neighborhood images.
Require new development to provide 10 percent of the development residential land area or its
equivalent for neighborhood (7 percent) and community parks (3 percent).
Cityrrownship Land Use
Try to locate within the planning area an elementary school site, 10 acres) and community park,
25 acres. (Good planning in either case.)
Require a detailed envirorunental assessment of physical site conditions including plant and
animal communities, topography, soil, drainage and wetlands before land development planning
begins.
Density
Use new development concepts, where appropriate, such as mixed use development and cluster
housing, to provide life cycle housing opportunities, minimize the need for and use of the -
. automobile and maintain open space.
Use ghost platting and cluster development to allow some initial growth with the opportunity for
2
urban density development in the future when desired. and planned.
.
Establish lot size and other development standards for the URTP A areas in the township that
accommodate future urban de~elopment according to the Stillwater comprehensive plan.
- If new residential development areas,are developed at city densities) design elements from
existing city neighborhoods including a mix of housing types landscaped streets, accessible
neighborhood parks and open space areas and unique neighborhood images.
.' Coordination and Implementation Structure
Establish Joint Planning Board to coordinate planning between the City of Stillwater and
Stillwater Township so both city and to\v1lShip plans for the URTPA are consistent.
Use orderly annexation agreements, joint power agreements and municipal urban service area
extension agreements to coordinate and implement comprehensive plan growth phasing policy.
Elements of these agreements may include: -
Defining a rural taxing district so existing residents will be protected from unreasonable
taxes.
No adverse economic affects to existing township residents by MUSA extension into the
UR TP A for urban development
e
Establish 5-year planning periods for overall growth phasing.
Any implementation of Comp Plan for the UR TP A shall have input from the township
and city.
Key Planning Concepts for URTP A
The following key planning concepts provide direction for the preparation ofth~ comprehensive
plan. The concepts will be a part of the comprehensive plan for the city and township and shall
be used to guide special area planning.
GreenwayslOpen Space Definition
Greenways shall be established along Manning Ave) Dellwood Blvd, Myrtle Street, McKusick
Road and Boutwell Drive. The greenways shall be 100 - 200 feet in width depending on the
location and site conditions. The purpose of the greenway is primarily to preserve the natural
semi-rural character of the transition area by screening new development from major public -
roads. The greenway shall appear informal and natural using native indigenous plant m?-terial
adapted to existing topographic conditions. Enhancement of existing topographic or vegetative
.
3
.onditions is encouraged to th~. extent the enhancement appears natural. Wetland mitigation sites
may be used as part ofthe'greenway. Pathways may be located along side or in the greenway but
not appear as a primary design element of the greenway. The green way will provide a landscape
separation between newly developing residential areas and high volume traffic corridors.
....
Trailways, Parks and Open Space Areas
Trailways, neighborhood and community park and open space areas will be provided throughout
" the URTPA. The extensive Brown's Creek Wetland systems shall provide the framework for
park and open space resources preservation in the north portion of the transition area. Long Lake
and existing woodlands and windbreaks shall be used in the southern portion of th~ site for trail
locations. An overall system of trails connecting new neighborhoods from Dellwood Blvd to
62nd Streets shall be planned along wetlands, new natural drainage ways and wooded areas.
\Vithin neighborhoods pathways shall conveniently connect residents to neighborhood park and
open space areas separated from auto traffic. Any active community park, convenience
commercial use or school site shall be clearly connected to surrounding residential areas by
walkways and bike path, utilize and preserve natural areas for trail locations.
Development Pattern and Density
.. '
.The overall character of the transition areas shall be sing~e family with selected locations of
compact clustered attached housing. The existing semi-rural character of the areas north of
McKusick Road (Random Creek) and south of Boutwell (Spring Creek) shall remain with some
in fill at rural densities.
Newly developed areas shall be large lot ( 1 to 1.5 dwelling units per acres DU/Acre), small lot
(2 to 3 DU/Acre) or higher density attached housing at 4 - 6 DU/Acre.
Larie. lot single familv areas are located in areas of sensitive sites. Because of topography
wetlands, lakes or timberland conditions the amount of site disruption is limited. These areas
tend to be located on steeply sloped or wooded shorelands or adjacent to sensitive wetlands or
open space areas. A cluster development concept could work in'this area to minimize the impact
on the land.
Small. lot sin~le familv areas tend to be in areas that are less environmentally sensitive. These
sites can be interior to the large lot area or setback form open space areas. These sites are the
flatter corn or hay fields of the URTPA. The development density of the small lot area is typical
of the existing city.
.
Attached or compact housing areas are located in pockets separated visually and physically from
single family areas. These locations have good direct access to major roads and are more closely
tied to existing urbanized areas. Sites for compact housing area located on County Road 5, 62nd
near 15. Nlyrtle Street south and west of Long Lake, possibly McKusick Road (west of
4
. .
mitigation site) and pockets south of DeUwood Blvd.
.
Convenience Commercial Locations. The purpose of this use is to provide services and products
for the surround~ng residential areas to reduce auto use. The sites should be clearly cormected
by pathways to adjacent residential areasJ be of a residential scale and style compatible \\i.th the
adjacent residential areas.
Office park or research and development areas. These locations provide ajob base for the
surrounding residential areas and ta.x base for the community. These sites should have
convenient access to major roads, be visually and physically separated from residential areas, be
attractively designed and landscaped to fit into the site conditions.
The plan will respect current uses as they relate to assessment policy and any required land use
changes.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Stillwater Open Space Report
Survey of Plant Communities
Stillwater, Minnesota
October 1995
The Stillwater Area Citizens Open Space Committee selected and
evaluated fifteen open space properties within the city of Stillwater
and Stillwater township for the, purpose of identifying unique plant
communities that may warrant future protection and preservation.
Site visits were completed in July and August 1995 by an
independent professional consultant working under the direction of
the committee. The results of the evaluation are detailed in the
Stillwater Open Space Report.
.
Properties were ranked into four categories as 1) high pnonty, 2)
moderate priority, 3) low priority and 4) eliminate, depending on the
unique or rare nature of the natural plant communities. The results
of the survey found three properties that ranked as high priority to
include the old stone bridge, the Department of Transportation
property (north of the old prison), and the Jaycee ball field. Three
properties were ranked as moderate priority to include Long Lake
west. Browns Creek west and the McKusick Road site. The Stillwater
Open Space Report was submitted to the Minnesota Department of
Natural Resources to b~ included in the Minnesota County Biological
Survey.p

August, 1995
Field work was completed between the dates of 20 July, 1995 and 10
August, 1995. The sites were surveyed for plant community type and condition.
The sites were then ranked according to quality, potential and natural history
imponance. Thineen sites were surveyed on foot and two were assessed as
"driveby" (Table 1.)
The sites surveyed can be divided into four prioritized categories, high
priority sites (rank A and/or B), large moderate priority sites (rank B/C), low
priority" sites (rank CID), eliminated (F and NA). The high priority sites and
the large, moderate priority sites will be discussed at length. Transcriptions
of the site surveys are located in the appendix.

High Priority Sites
SITE G: THE OLD STONE BRIDGE (Figure I). This site represents a small jewel
that should provide an amazing annual display of springtime wildflowers. The
site has an old stone bridge which is currently listed on the Historical
Registry. The site is characterized by steep slopes (-75%) that lead down to the
narrow creek bottom. The north and south facing slopes support a
MaplelBasswood (cast central section) plant community. This site is High
priority because of the Stone Bridge, the healthy plant diversity, and the
proximity to properties of equally high quality downstream along Brown's
Creek. In 1987, the Minnesota Natural Heritage program recommended that
the entire stretch of Brown's Creek east of the stone bridge be preserved as a
natural area and actively managed. It was noted that this ravine is a native
trout fishery (Almendinger. 1987).
There is a distressing amount of buckthorn on this site. If buckthorn is
allowed to continue to take over, the typical tree species of the Maple/
Basswood plant community will not be able to regenerate. The diversity of
springtime wildflowers will be eliminated. Management concerns for this site
include a concencd effort to control the encroachment of buckthorn. This
can be accomplished by carefully applying a potent herbicide (i.e. Roundup)
to the leaves or the cut stem/stump. Another concern is the foot traffic which,
uncontrolled, is causing erosion problems around the bridge and on the slope.
A possible solution is to construct a stairway down to a railed viewing platform
on the southeast side of the bridge and a similar sort of arrangement on the
nonh slope in place of the trail access northwest of the bridge. Trees should
be cleared from the top of the bridge and a boardwalk/pathway constructed to
preserve the integrity of the structure. All foot traffic should be restricted to
these managed areas.
SITEL: TERRITORIAL PRISON (Figure 2). This site is a small representative of a
dry bedrock bluff prairie. Bedrock bluff prairies once had a distribution
primarily on south- and west-facing slopes of the Mississippi River valley of
Ramsey county as well as some occurrences in the St. Croix river valley of
Washington county (Minnesota's St. Croix River Valley and Anoka Sandptain: a
Guide to Native Habitats. 1995). Thcse prairies are now relatively rare and are
threatened by urban development and encroachment of woody vegetation.
The Territorial Prison site is a south-facing, app.rox. 100% slope of
sandstone bluff. The plant community is dominated by side-oats grama. There
is also a good diversity of flowering plants such as lead plant, gray goldenrod,
harebell, purple prairie clover, and thimbleweed. The sheer sandstone faces
suppon cliff brake and columbine. This is prime habitat for kitten tails
(Bessya bul/ti), a state endangered plant, though none was found at this time.
This site is chosen as a High priority site due to its rarity and high quality,
despite its small size.
The main management concern is limiting foot traffic which, due to the
slope, is not only hazardous for the plant community but also hazardous for the
trespasser. There is some buckthorn present (see previous management
approach), gray dogwood and wild plum shrubs that will need to be controlled. -
Residences at the top of the bluff have allowed yard wastes to slip down the
bluff slope and there are some escaped cultivars (i.e. bearded iris).

SITE 0: JAYCEE BALL FIELDS (Figure 3). This site is dominated by an emergent
marsh surrounded by mixed oak forest (including an aspen clone on the
northeast edge) and a dry prairie on the southeastern side. There is a healthy
population .of water willow (Decodon venici!laws) in the Jaycee's Ball field
pond as well as in the adjacent bay of McKusick Lake (visible from the old
trolley track). This site is chosen as a High priority site due to its diversity of
good quality habitats which make it ideal for maintaining a diversity of
wildlife. It is also considered High priority due to the presence of water willow
(Decodon verricillarus), listed as a "species of special concern" in the state of
Minnesota.
Water willow (Decodon verricillarus) is the sole member of its genus. It
is not a willow but belongs to the loosestrife family. Unlike its more infamous,
European cousin (purple loosestrife), it is found only in eastern North
America. It is common in bogs south of the "tension zone", but is rare in
Minnesota, Michigan and Wisconsin (Andreas and Bryan, 1990). A "tension
zone" is defined as a boundary between floristic provinces. The Twin Cities
resides in the middle of the tension zone that runs diagonally through
Minnesota to the northwest comer of the state, following the border of the
prairie and the hardwoods.
Figure 4. Water Willow (Decodon verticil/a/us).

Water willow (Decodon vutici/latus) is a perennial with sOfIlewhat
woody, recurving, four to six angled, stems (Figure 4). The magenta flowers
are found in dense clusters in the upper axils of the leaves. The fruit is a dry
capsule. The lance-shaped leaves arc in whorls of three (sometimes 2 or 4).
The whorls tend to concentrate on the upper side of the stem. Water willow
has a stoloniferous growth habit with subsequent adventitious root formation
which consequently forms a dense root-stem matrix approximately 30 cm in
thickness. This typically forms a floating mat that extends into open. water.
The D.N.R. Natural Heritage Program has been conducting a Minnesota
County Biological Survey since 1987. The data base being compiled contains
the most complete record of the occurrences of natural communities and
plants of special concern in the state. The data base contains eleven water
willow sites (Table 2). Due to the results of this study two other sites will be
added to the data base (*).

Management suggestions for the Jaycee's Ball Field site include the
careful monitoring of water quality and levels in the pond and adjacent
McKusick Lake. The patch of prairie could benefit from a schedule of
controlled bums to stem the encroachment of sumac and increase the vigor of
the native prairie plant species. This might be an ideal site to setup a small
nature center to educate people about wetlands, prairies, and woodlands of
Minnesota and the wildlife that utilize these ecosystems.
Large Moderate Priority Sites
. SITE A: LONG LAKE WEST (Figure 5). The western shore of Long Lake has four
plant community types. . Starting at the lake shore and traversing westward
and upland, there are narrow bands of cattail emergent marsh and hardwood
swamp, mature oak woods with pot-hole ponds, and degenerated oak savanna..
The diversity of habitats and the presence of dead wood and snags are
important for maintaining a diversity of wildlife (Le. water fowl, foxes, deer). - -
The mixed oak woods of the mideastern portion (Staloch property)
canopy is composed Qf pin oak , white oak, red maple and an occasional pin
cherry. There is good oak regeneration. The under story has occasional elder
berry, buckthorn, gray dogwood and hazelnut. The north- and east- facing

slopes are covered with various ferns, such as interrupted fern and lady fern.
Flowering plants include jack-in-the-pulpit, starflower, and Canada
mayflower.
The peninsula on. the northeastern shore (Jackson Estates) has a drier
version of oak woods. There are less ferns present and wild indigo can be
found on the point. The point provides an excellent view of the island nestled
in the western bay as well as the western shoreline. The canopy of trees along
the shore appears to be contiguous with the previously described woods of the
StaIoch propeny. Birding opportunities would be great from this point.
There arc some serious management concerns. The degenerated oak
savanna in the midwestern part of the site (Gadient property) has an
understory that is comprised of nearly 100% buckthorn (see previous
management concerns). There is no evidence of oak regeneration for the past
20 years. The flowering plant diversity is very poor. The agricultural fields
in the southern part have been cultivated as close to the slope as possible.
There is much evidence of soil erosion throughout the hardwood swamp of
that area. This has negatively affected the plant diversity and may also affect
water quality. A park-like trail system, that is restricted to foot traffic only,
would not only be a pleasant addition to this tract of land but may also assist in
reducing the erosion problems of the southern shore (i.e. retaining walls and
plantings).
SITE E: BROWNS CREEK, WEST (Figure 6). This section of Brown's creek has its
origin in an extensive wetland system north west of Highway 96 and Manning
Rd. The site surveyed comprised of the section south east of this intcrsection.
The northwestern third of this site is a . nice sedge mcadow with vcry few
shrubs. The middle third of this site has a narrowcr creek bottom with fairly
steep slopes down to the creek bottom. Thc plant community is characterized
as a hardwood swamp, seepage subtype. The southern third is a shrub swamp.
The north side of the middle third appears to have been cultivated right up to
the slope. Thc private lots on the southern third arc also mowed and
landscaped up to the slope.
Throughout this site there is only minor evidence of exotic plants.
There is some buckthorn on the upper slopes. Treatment of wetlands such as
this one need to be considered in the scope of a watershed (see comments
concerning the Old Stone Bridge site). The treatment of this area will have
direct effects on the habitats downstream. Fertilizers from residential lots will
flow into the watershed and speed up the eutrophication (greening) of the
pond areas. This greening will decrease the available' o.xygen for fish to
survive. Soils of these areas are also highly susceptible to soil erosion. Roads
that arc planned to span the creek will also constrain its natural flood
management abilities. This site is listed as a moderate priority site due to its all
around good quality and the presence of a state listed plant downstream (in
McKusick Lake) as well as high priority sites downstream.
SITE D: MCKUSICK ROAD (Figure 7). The southern portion of this site is
bordered on the south by a creek with a narrow band of shrub swamp. There
is a good diversity of flowering plants. The mideast and west portions,
including the high knoll are old fields with very poor regeneration to prame -
vegetation. Between the old fields is a wooded area dominated by open grown
maples with nearly 100% regeneration in all age classes. There is suprising
lack of flowering plants in this maple woods. The eastern portion is a nice
sedge meadow. The portion north of the railroad tracks has been completely
plowed. Poor quality fill with chucks of asphalt was brought in. There

appears to be an aboned attempt at the construction of an abatement pond.
The result is a small mud flat with a flock of Canadian geese and no natural
vegetation.
The high diversity of habitats has a positive influence on animal
populations. There are numerous deer bedding sites and gopher mounds in the
. old fields. Birds, amphibians and reptil~s are also abundant. A large (7 inch
shell) female painted turtle was assisted crossing the road at this site. This site
is classified as moderate priority due to its diversity of habitats and the obvious
benefit to wildlife despite to poor quality of some of the plant communities.

TRANSCRIPTIONS OF SITE SURVEYS
A. "Long Lake West ": "Oak Savanna" (Gadient's property) - Canopy of Pin Oak
and White Oak with interrupted canopy. Oaks are mature and open grown
indicating a savanna-like habitat at one time. The shrub-layer is nearly
continuous buckthorn with occasional gray dogwood (C. racemosa) and .
hazelnut. Occasional paper birch near pot-hole ponds and Quaking Aspen on
the western edge. Ground layer contains a few oak seedlings and numerous
buck thorn. Lady fern is common with occasional sensitive fern in openings.
Other forbs present include Tick trefoil (Desmodium glutinosum), Enchanter's
Nightshade (Circae quadrisulcata). Also present are grapes and Virginia
creeper and some poison ivy. Old field borders arc dominated by brome grass
and Kentucky bluegrass. Also present arc spotted knapweed, spotted St. .
John'swort, goldenrod and birdsfoot trefoil.
"SW shore" (Staloch's property)- The lake has extensive Nymphea
tuberosa.. There is a narrow margins of cattails. The banks have boxelder on
the lower edge and open grown mature/old oaks (burr and pin). There are
cultivated fields to the top of the bank. Erosion from the fields is evident.
Open areas on the margin have stinging nettles and touch-me-nots. The
understory comprises of buckthorn, Ribes cynosbati and elderberry. The
pond at the northeastern portion of the property has a raised mound (not
floating) of rushes, sedges and arrow-leaf. The pond is surrounded by. red
maples and white oak. The ground is covered by Canada mayflower and
starflowcr. The north western portion of the property is mixed oak. The
canopy .consists of pin oak, red maple, boxelder, white oak and occasional black
cherry. The north and east facing slopes have extensive fern cover
(interrupted, lady, sensitive). The shrub layer consists of elderberry with
some buckthorn.
"Jackson estates peninsula" - Nice habitat for birding. The canopy
consists of oaks (red, white, pin and burr) red maple. The understory has
buckthorn and Ribies cynosbati. There is wild indigo at the bench on the
peninsula tip.

D. "McKusick Rd." - The south portion of D, "McKusick Rd" is bordered on the
south by a. creek with a narrow. band of shrub swamp. The shrub swamp -is
dominated by red osier dogwood and reed canary grass. There are also sedge
hummocks (Carex stricta). There is a good diversity of forbs: swamp milkweed,
spotted Joe-pye weed, sensitive fern, marsh fern (Thdyptris palustris),
Jerusalem artichoke, Stachys palustris and touch-me-nots. The east and west
portions, including the high knoll are old fields with poor regeneration.
There is a marked lack of native bunch grasses. I saw one bunch of big blue
stem among the brome grass and Kentucky blue. The forbs are dominated by
goldenrod (Solidago gigantea) with abundant spotted knapweed, wild bergamot
and flowering spurge. The ground is covered in areas by creeping charlie and
wild strawberries. Between the old fields is a wooded area dominated by open
grown maples (Acer saccharum and A. sacclJarinum). There is nearly 100%
regeneration of the maples in all age classes. The shrub-layer also includes
some elderberry and gooseberries. Except for an amazing specimen of

Solomon's seal and a few hemp, the forbs are sparse. There are some juniper
and buckthorn invading the western old field which threaten the prairie
regeneration. Buckthorn seedlings arc also evident in the wooded area. The
diversity of habitats has a positive influence on animal populations - there are
numerous active gopher mounds, deer bedding sites and trails, birds,
amphibians, reptiles. One large, -7 inch shell, female painted tunIe was
observed. The north side of the tracks have been completely trashed for
dumping old fill and a wetlands "reclamation" project.

E. "Brown's Creek West" - The north end of the creek is a nice sedge meadow
with emergent vegetation. The middle third is cultivated right up to the
nonhem slope and the southern slope has small private residential lots also
up to the slope. The creek bed at this point is narrow and of hardwood swamp
circumncural seep subtype. The southern third is shrub swamp. Minor
influence of exotics. Heat exhaustion curtailed this visit.

F. "Hwy 69" - driveby - didn't see much.
G. "Old Stone Bridge" - The north side of the creek is Maple-Basswood with an
amazingly rich forb layer: Actta rubra and A. alba (in fruit), CauIIophyIIum,
Trillium, Jack-in-the-pulpit, wild ginger, bloodroot and ferns (shield, lady,
fragile). The canopy consists of basswood and boxcldcr. The shrub.hyer
contains a distressing amount of buckthorn and some prickly ash, but it has
not negatively affected the forb layer yet. Abundant and healthy poison ivy
indicates foot-traffic disturbance. This is a beautiful site. Repeat visit for
photos.
Rank = B

H. "Brick pond" - There is a hardwood swamp on the S.E. side of the property.
Boxclder dominates the canopy. Shrubs include Japanese honeysuckle,
elderberry, gray dogwood and buckthorn. Forbs are sparse. The wetlands
. along the creek are nearly 100% reed canary grass with some rushes. There is
a stand of slender willow invading the S.E. portion. Brick pond is lined with
cattails and has some duckweed. There are some mature red oak on the upper
slopes. There appears to be fair regeneration in the ground layer but heavy
deer browse may affect the middle age classes. Deer signs are plentiful and
also some possible fox dens.
Rank = D
I. "Holcomb addition"-. Site I is a small ravine remnant. There is no evidence of
water flow. though the ground is well saturated. The sparse herb layer
consists primarily of Jack-in-the-pulpit, violets, creeping charlie, occasional
patches of lily-of-the-valley and daytillies at the western edge. The shrub-
layer consists of gooseberries (Ribts cynosbati and R. hirrtllum) and
elderberry. The canopy oJ green ash, elm and boxelder is continuous. There is
a black locust located in the west central ponion. This site has evidence of a
high level of disturbance. Dumping is a problem at this site- yard wastes,
compost, wheel rims, broken glass, plastic bags... Buckthorn is not a common
understory shrub but there is evidence of numerous seedlings with. will be a
problem in the near future.

thimblcwecd, Viola ptdarafida, Pttalosremum purpureum, and virgin's bower
at the western edge. Cliff brake and columbine grow on the sheer sandstone
faces. This is a nice bluff prairie. It is a perfect habitat for kittentails, B tssya
bullei (a state listed plant), but none were found. Threats to this site include
leafy spurge, shrub patches of buckthorn, juniper, and dogwood (Cornus
rugosa). Residences at eastern top of the bluff have let some yard wastes slip
down the bluff slope and there arc some escaped cultivars.

M. "North Hill Ravine, Dist. 834" - North facing slope of the ravine outlet from
Lake McKusick. Creek bed is sandy bottom. Lower slope is hardwood swamp
with ashes as the dominant canopy tree. The shrub-layer comprises of
gooseberries (Ribes hirtellum), blackberries, buckthorn, and prickly ash. The
forb layer has large patches of naturalized daylillies and lily-of-the-vallcy on
the upper slopes. There are also touch-me-nots, hairy willow-herb (Epilobium
hirsutum) and some Jack-in-the-pulpit and poison ivy. The openings of the
upper slope are dominated by Kentucky bluegrass and smooth sumac. Pin oaks
and some sugar maples arc on the upper slopes. There is evidence of
numerous deer bedding sites and birds. There is evidence of some dumping
taking place (tires, broken glass. cement slabs...).

Dear Ms. Weldon,
In your recent letter, you indicated that the City of Stillwater
will be adding territory prior to the upcoming state elections. The
following is a brief summary of the steps you will need to take
prior to the elections.
First, candidates who file for municipal offices during the period
from July 2 through July 16 should be made aware that they are
required to state on the affidavit of candidacy that they will
reside in the district from which elected for at least 30 days
prior to the general election, as provided in the Minnesota
Constitution, Article VII, Section 6. This obviously relates not
only to the municipality of residence but also to the ward of
residence. You will' need to determine how you will describe to
prospective candidates exactly where the municipal and ward
boundaries will be on November 5.
Second, you will need to communicate with the Washington County
Auditor at the earliest possible date to ensure that the voters who
are affected by the changes in municipal and ward boundaries are
properly assigned to the correct precinct for. the state primary and
the state general election. The polling place rosters for the state
primary will be prepared by our office during the period August 21-
30 and the rosters must reflect the correct precinct assignment for
each voter.
Third, once the precinct boundaries are established, you must send
a nonforwardable notice to each voter who will be affected by a
change in the location of the polling place, as provided by
Minnesota statutes 204B.16, subdivision la. This notice must be
sent at least 25 days prior to the next election. For the state
primary, this date would be August 16.

...
Finally, in the future, you may wish to advise the city council to ~
consider making municipal boundary changes in years that the state ~
and municipal elections are not being held. Changing municipal,
ward and precinct boundaries ehortly before an election causes
problems for those individuals who wish to seek an elected office,
both in determining their eligibility to hold the office they seek
and in communicating with voters who are eligible to vote for them.
If you have any other questions concerning this matter, please let
me know.
Sincerely,

On behalf of the students, faculty and staff of the Stillwater Junior High School, I would respectfully
request your consideration of the donation of the old sound system from the Council Chambers meet-

FROM:
SUBJECT: Requests for Feasibility Study Development Plan for Bradshaw Property
DISCUSSION
Attached is a petition for feasibility study from Jim Bradshaw, owner of the property located at
the intersection of Co. Rd. 5 and Hwy. 36 in the township. Mr. Bradshaw desires that the city
commence the feasibility study for supplying this property with sewer, water, storm sewer and
streets. Mr. Bradshaw is considering the construction of a funeral home at this location. This
property would be one of the first properties served in the proposed annexation area.
When feasibility studies for development projects are completed, the city normally requires that
developers provide an escrow to cover the cost of the feasibility study. This escrow is for the
purpose of covering the cost of the study should the development not go forward. Staff has not
determined what the cost of this feasibility study is as of yet, but Mr. Bradshaw would be willing
to put forth a $10,000.00 escrow at this time and supply the city with an agreement to cover
additional costs if that becomes necessary.
This request is somewhat unusual because the property is actually not within the City of
Stillwater. Like the proposed school site, a number of unknown issues will pop up if the city
proceeds with the feasibility study at this time. This means the feasibility report could generate
the need to answer larger questions as these issues surface. The only other alternative would be
to hold off in completing a feasibility study such as this until such time as the city completes its
own trunk. facilities feasibility study for the larger annexation area.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends council consider the attached petition and determine if proceeding with this
feasibility report is prudent at this 'time. If council determines that it is appropriate to proceed,
council should pass a resolution ordering preparation of a feasibility study for the Bradshaw
property and surrounding areas.

City Council of Stillwater
Stillwater, Mn 55082
To whom it may concern:
.
We petition for all necessary planning and implementation. for
provision of access from Curvecrest Avenue and Highway 5 to the
property described in the attached Exhibit A. This access would
include Tarvia Surfaced Roadway, Sewer and Water, Curbs and
Gutters. We will provide to the City of Stillwater proposed plan
for land use and any other information available to us that will
expedite this request.
Our plan is to create a Funeral Chapel and Memorial Park on the
property adjacent to the corner of Highway 36 and Highway 5,
with the balance of the property for compatible office sites.
Knowing the nature of the Memorial complex it is absolutely
necessary to be certain that all property developed adjacent
will be of a use that enhances the park and adds credit to the
entry to the Stillwater Community.
It is further necessary to note that access to the Memorial
Park complex be visible from Highway 5 and heighten awareness
of the complex and again enhance the beauty of the area from
Curvecrest to the complex.
Our goal would include breaking ground early in the Spring of
1997 to allow for a fall opening of the complex and also correlate
with the new construction of the overpass and highway rework
of Highways 5 and 36.

assessments may be levied pursuant to the improvement code.
Comment
The council may initiate proceedings without a petition. If the petition is not used. this form should be omitted
and proceedings should be commenced with Form 2.
If the council relies upon the petition as its basis for proceedings. it cannot make a substantial change in the
nature of the improvement from that asked for in the petition. For example, it may not order an improvement for water
and. sewer when the petition has asked for water alone, or add curb and gutter to a petition for blacktop. If the council
deems such substantial changes necessary or desirable, it should not use the petition as the basis for proceeding but should
proceed instead on its own motion without reference to the petition.

MEMORANDUM
TO:
Mayor and City Council
~
FR:
Steve Russell, Community Development Director
DA: June 21, 1996
RE: SALE OF CITY OWNED LAND
As a part of the Gerrard offer to purchase the UBC storage yard site, a piece of
previously owned city land between the UBC site and Third Street was a part of the
offer (see attached map). Because the land was not originally purchased for
redevelopment, Ordinance 789 pertains to the site.
In order to sell the land, the council must pass an ordinance ordering the sale by a 4/5
vote. It is recommended that the council approve that ordinance so it can be published
and the 30 day review period can run before the scheduled closing (September 21,
1996).
. Recommendation: Approval of ordinance directing sale of land.
Attachment: Ordinance 789 and site map.

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF STILLWATER DOES ORDAIN:
1. On April 19, 1994, pursuant to Minnesota Statutes S410.12, Subd. 7, the
City Charter Commission prepared and recommended to the City Council the adoption
of the following amendment to the City Charter:
"CITY OWNED LAND"
16.01 All land now or hereafter owned by the City of stillwater that:
1. Is within Minnesota or Wisconsin that borders on the st. Croix River
shall not be sold, leased, disposed of, developed or have its
character substantially changed or altered unless done in compliance
with this chapter; or,
2. Has been dedicated or devoted to park, recreational, open space or
natural use, including the ravines of the City, shall not be sold,
leased, disposed of or developed or used in any manner inconsistent
with park, recreational, open space, natural use or have its
character substantially changed or altered unless done in compliance
with this chapter.
16.02 The Council shall prepare a summary C!f not less than 50, but not more than
300 words setting forth in substance the nature of the proposed sale, use or
disposal, including not by way of limitation, price, term, date of possession and
intended use of the proposed sale, use or disposal. The summary, which shall
include a plain English description and a map providing a visual description of
the property, shall be published once each week for four successive weeks in the
legal newspaper of the City, and thereafter the City Council shall conduct a
public hearing on the proposal.
Thereafter, the Council may, by affirmative vote of 4/Sths of its members,
adopt an ordinance authorizing the sale, use, change of character or disposal of
the property. If the ordinance is passed, it shall not be effective until 30
days after its publication or at such later time as is fixed in the ordinance.
Within the 30-day period, a petition requesting a referendum on the ordinance may
be filed with the City Clerk. The petition shall be signed by qualified voters
equal in number to two percent of the total number of voters who cast votes in
the City at the last state general election.
If the required petition is filed within the 30-day period, the ordinance
shall not become effective until it is approved by the voters of the City at a
general or special election. The form of the question shall be fixed by the
Council. If a majority of the votes cast on the question are in favor of its
adoption, the ordinance shall pass and shall take effect 30 days from the date
of the election."
2. The City Charter is hereby amended by adding this section and after the
amendment becomes effective, the City Clerk, with the assistance of the City
Attorney, is directed to incorporate this amendment into the City Charter and to
have the amended Charter reprinted for circulation to the people of the City.
3. This Ordinance and the City Charter amendment adopted hereby shall not
be in full force and effect until 90 days after its passage and publication.
Adopted by unanimous vote of the Mayor and members of the Council this
day of May, 1994.

Exhibit A
RESOLUTION NO. 92-196
A RESOLUTION DECLARING A MORATORIUM
ON THE SALE OR TRANSFER OF CITY OWNED LAND
WHEREAS, the stillwater city Council and the stillwater City
Charter Commission, both duly assembled for a joint meeting held at
4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, September 9, 1992, and,
WHEREAS, the subject of the meeting was a discussion of the
Charter commission's proposal to add to the City Charter a proposed
Chapter 16 that would place certain restrictions on the sale or
transfer of city land, and,
WHEREAS, at the joint meeting, testimony was given by Steven
Russell, Community Development Director, and Nile Kriesel, city
Coordinator, that further work should be done to the proposed draft
in order that any ambiguities be resolved and all possible
ramifications of the chapter be fully studied and analyzed before
the Charter amendment proposal be placed on the ballot for
consideration by the electorate, and,
WHEREAS, since a draft of the proposed Charter amendment would
have to be completed by the Charter Commission by the 16th of
September, it was the consensus of Charter Commission members that
the short period of time remaining until September 16, 1992 would
be inadequate to give the issue the proper study and consideration,
and,
WHEREAS, the city Council determined that in order to
encourage the Charter Commission to forebear placing the question
on the ballot until the general election of 1994, they offer
certain concessions and promises to the Charter Commission;
NOW THEREFORE, based upon the foregoing, the city Council of
the city of stillwater resolves as follows:
..
1. That in view of the promise of the Charter commission to
refrain from placing proposed Chapter 16 dealing with the city-
owned land on the ballot until the general election of 1994, the
city Council agrees that it will not transfer, sell or lease city-
owned land or enter into a written agreement to do so unless the
action is preceded by 30 days published notice of their intention
to do so and during that 30-day period, the proposal be submitted
to the stillwater Charter Commission, the stillwater Planning
commission, the stillwater Port Authority, and the Stillwater Parks
and Recreation Committee and Heritage Preservation Committee and
that the written advisory recommendations of these bodies all be
made available to the public prior to the public hearing and
considered by the Council at the hearing. No sale, lease or other
transfer shall take place without the written approval of three of
the five Commissions. Further that they provide to the Charter
Commission during the study period, the assistance of the City
staff and various committees of the City to help the Charter
Commission with their effort.
Adopted by Council this 22nd day
of September, 1992.

CITY OF STILLWATER
MEMORANDUM
TO:
Mayor and City Council
;J~
FROM:
Diane Deblon, Finance Director
DATE: July 2, 1996
SUBJECT: Planning Case No. SUB/96-29, Resubdivision of Lot in Business Park
DISCUSSION
The City of Stillwater has a policy for reapportioning special assessments when there is a
resubdivision, provided the assessments have remained current. This parcel went tax forfeit in
1995 because of the delinquent taxes and special assessments due. This parcel has been
purchased by a developer and there is still $26,112.19 in outstanding future assessments to be
paid on this parcel.
RECOMMENDATION
In light of past delinquent status of the assessments, it may be in the best interest of the city to
collect the remaining assessments in full as a condition of approval for the re-subdivision of this
parcel.

RE:
Human Rights Comm.
1996 Budget request
DA:
June 28, 1996
Discussion:
Attached is a proposed budget for the Stillwater Human Rights Commission for 1996. The
budget includes the development and distribution of a brochure. The Commission is requesting
that the council approve the budget for 1996. The Commission will also be submitting a budget
request for 1997.
I met with the Commission on June 26th and they are doing a pretty good job of identifying
issues, establishing a mission and all of the other items associated with their purpose. The
proposed request was not included in the budget for 1996. However, the request is minimal,
should not adversely affect the budget and is necessary if the Commission is expected to carry
out its mission.
Recommendation:
Approve budget request of $1600 for Human Rights Commission for 1996.

RE:
Change orders for City Hall project
DA:
June 28, 1996
Discussion:
Request is made to approve Proposal Requests (PR's) numbers 5, 6, and 7 for the City Hall
project. Contrary to my explanation at the last meeting wherein I stated that a change order
would also be submitted to the Council for review and approval after the PRls were approved,
these PRls are actually to be considered change orders. Therefore, this request should be
considered fmal approval by Council for the changes.
The items to be added or deleted are explained in the attached forms prepared by BWBR. The '
changes have been reviewed and approved by GWO. I have also reviewed the changes and they
appear to be reasonable (and necessary).

Dear Members of the City Council,
June 25, 1996
last year 1 completed an extensive survey of selected sites for
the Stl11water Open Space Committee. I have te<"ently been contacted
by members of the Open Space Committee concerning an additional
tract of land. They have asked that I survey the plot of land
Southwest of the Jaycee Ball Fields. As the plot of land has been
described to me there is a diversity of hahltats induding wetlands,
scrub, forest, and a djve~ity of elevation,
T was told that the Cttv Counrll Is scheduled to make certain
"
decisions concerning this property on July 2. 1 would he interested
tn surveying this property as an addition to the work that I did last
summer. Unfonunately 1 wtll not be free to do any survey work
until after the Fourth of July. 1f the Open Space Committee is able to
get a continuanc.e from the Councn, I would be able to do a survey
sometime during the second or third week of July (depending on the
weather and permission from the property owners).
This site ha~ a potential to be of value to wildlife and plant
communities due to its diversity of habitats, elevation and proximity
to other protected (Jackson Wildlife Management area) and/or high
quality (Jaycee Ball Fields) sites.
It Is reassuring to see a growing community such a~ Stillwater
actively involved \n planning for. the continuation and protection of
open spaces withIn the demands of a developing metropolitan area,
It has been a pleasure to be a part of this process. Plea.<te rontact me
if T can be of further a..~sistan(e.
Sincerely,
c.c. Open Space Committee

Monetary sponsorships from many area businesses, and in kind contributions from local media, are
providing the funding for this community wide event. In addition many of the bands have local
connections. As the same group that has organized and been responsible for Music on the \Vaterfront in
previous years, we are respectfully requesting the city's continued cooperation as an in-kind sponsor in .
the following areas. .
1. Satellites - We would like to have four satellites at the concert site for each concert.
2. Police Protection - As in past years, we would like to have two officers available in the park from
6:00 p.m. until approximately 10:00 p.m. Concerts will begin at 6:30 and end at 10:00.
The parks have been reserved and a permit has been obtained for the sale of 3.2 beer. There will be no
hard liquor sold. Clean-up of the parks after the concerts will be provided by Spirit of Christian Youth
(SCY), a local church group. Set-up will begin on the day of the concerts at approximately 3:00 p.m.
and we hope to take down everything by 11 :00 p.m.
We thank you for your cooperation and hope to see you at the concerts.

Sometimes people go out of their way to do their job just a little
better or in a nicer manner than required and they need to be
recognized. The recent requests for help I presented to Klayton
Eckles were handled in such away. I just wanted you to know
that Klayton does his job in such a manner that he makes our job
of gathering property information regarding codes, etc. much
more pleasant!

Mayor and City Council of Stillwater
Stillwater, MN 55082
Dear Mayor and City Council Members:
I am very pleased that the City of Stillwater has created a Human Rights Commission, and
I have enjoyed serving on the Commission for its first year of existence. I have recently
determined that I will have enough time to continue serving on the commission for another
term. Other commission members also encourage my continuation in the interest of
continuity. Therefore, I would like to be considered for continuation on the Human Rights
Commission, as my present term ends on June 20.
I am a member of the Baha'i Faith which promotes the elimination of all prejudice. Much
attention has been given to the persecution of Baha'is in Iran since the early 1980's. The
equality of men and women as well as the elimination of racial prejudice are strong
components of Baha'i principles.
My experience in the area of human relations began in 1963 when I initiated a high school
club, the Human Relations Council. We addressed racial prejudice while I was president
my junior and senior years. In 1984 I began work for the tribal community college of Pine
Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota~ In Spokane, Washington, I initiated the
Human Rights Committee for the United Nations Association Spokane Chapter. Since my
recent move to Stillwater, I assisted the committee which formed to promote the Stillwater
Human Rights Commission and have also served as a facilitator for workshops on racism.
Thank you for your consideration.

TO: Local Officials
SUBJECT: Growth Options Electronic Focus Group Meeting
I apologize for this late invitation. Apparently our previous mailing to key contacts did not reach
all of you.
.
You are invited to participate in a specially designed focus group to discuss how the Twin Cities
region should grow in the future. The meeting will be held on July 10 from 7:00-9:00 p.m. at the
Minnetonka Conununity Center, 14600 Minnetonka Blvd., Minnetonka.
This focus group session, using electronic voting technology, is geared specifically to local
officials. We added this session to our schedule in order to reach those of you who were unable
to attend our other sessions due to the League of Minnesota Cities conference.
If you wish to attend, please call the Regional Data Center at 291-8140 to register. We hope to

Notes from lower St. Croix Planning Task Force
Meeting June 10, 1996
Topics: Follow-up on River Crossings; land Use/land Cover
Task Force Members Present: Buck Malick, Terry Moe, Pat Kytola (new member--City
of Osceola), Linda Luckey, Judy Bellairs, Tom Clarke, Bob Burns, Audrey Kelley, Pat
Nunnally, Larry Kennedy, Julie MacSwain, Jim Johnson, Laura Reynolds, Mark Smith,
Mark Kinders, John Jansen, Stan Narusiewicz, Katherine Francis (new member--City
of Stillwater), Molly Shodeen (for Steve Johnson), Kate Hanson (coordinator).
Also Present: Miles Wittig (Somerset Twnsp.), Kathy Nelson (WI DNR), Brian Adams
(Natl. Park Service), Robert Rolle (Troy Plan'ning Board), Rich Hafdahl (Tourism Alliance
& Osceola) John Blienkenderfer (Lakeland Shores), Dan McGuiness (MN-WI Boundary
Area Commission).
Discussion of summer meeting schedule: In response to a phone call from a task force
member who cannot attend evening meetings (Tim Barton), Kate inquired about
possibility of meeting in late afternoon. About 6 people attending on 6/10 indicated
they could not attend earlier meetings. It's not known how many task force members
are not attending because of the time. Since to date only one other communication
has been received about this (from Pete Keppler), we will continue to meet in
evenings. In future, meeting notes will be mailed with the notice for next meeting.
Follow-up discussion on May 30 River Crossings Meeting. Summary statements that
will be carried forward into future task force/public workshops to develop the
cooperative management plan are summarized below:
* Need coordination of projects that cross river and need actions, ways to ensure
coordination takes place. The coordination is needed among companies and agencies
proposing projects, regulatory agencies, riverway agencies and the public.
* The St. Croix's status as a National Scenic Riverway should be accorded greater
importance in decisions regarding crossings. Cost is not the only factor--need to
consider all available technology and be better informed about real costs.
Observations on the May 30 presentations that contributed to the above
summary statements are as follows:
Coordination of crossinos:
There is lack of coordination early on to consolidate brfdge crossings and utilities. This
encourages proliferation of crossings. How do we change that?
There is talk about co-locating facilities, but no action. Address this in plan.
Need timely exchange of information on projects.
.
Lack of communication is an issue--and there is lack of motivation to communicate.
Need to get people with different missions thinking common missions. Need to set
course of action that forces them to plan together.
Legislators could be customers of updated management plan--and actions could be
recommended for legislation.
Master plan encourages protecting scenic values, which means co-locate crossings.
Grantsburg is good example for bridge witti utility lines; WI Public Service Commission
has ability to require this.
Question: are utilities/power lines on bridges good from a scenic standpoint?
Alternative crossina methods:
Should encourage underground conduits; in addition to protecting scenic quality, this
would be better for electromagnetic pollution, cleaner.
There may be negative environmental impacts from underground lines (for example,
damage that could be caused if coolants leak).
.
Other cooling mechanisms might be available. Might be more expensive than overhead
crossings, but underground shouldn't be eliminated from the discussion of alternatives.
Need use best available technology, with goals of environmental & aesthetic
protection.
Buried crossings are least disturbing.
Bridge height is a factor for hanging cables on bridges--must be above high water.
Underground lines would require access to DOT right of way: DOTs are concerned
about costs associated with moving lines during reconstructions, leery about sharing
lines within right of way.
Should say what we want, if we want underground, then should say companies need
to use best available technology.
New electrical crossings should be invisible, existing should be upgraded only at
current crossing sites.
Need to know more about alternative crossing methods so plan is realistic.
.
r
"
.
.
.
Crossina costs:
Cost also a factor--may be prohibitive.
The plan needs to take conservative positions for long-term protection; costs should
not be determining factor.
Don't take statements about cost at face value. Need to verify informatioan on cost.
Miscellaneous:
Need political support for what the plan outlines for crossings.
Let's not wait until end of cooperative management plan to respond to current
proposals (such as Dairyland merger in WI). While the task force as a group has
agreed that it will not take positions on ongoing issues/projects, individual members
and/or their organizations can comment on their own behalf.
RE: idea of identifying crossing sites--do we want to address that in the plan?
Wild and Scenic legislation has nondegradation standard.
land Use/land Cover: presentation by Dan McGuiness, director, Minnesota-Wisconsin
Boundary Area Commission.
Dan reviewed results of a 1991 analysis of changes in the landscape of the
Lower St. Croix riverway and watershed (study funded by Legislative Commission on
Minnesota Resources):
The Lower St. Croix is a special area because 3 ecosyster.nsmeet: prairie, eastern
hardwoods and northern pine forest.
For study, compared aerial photos from 1973 and 1991 and interpreted land use types
(agriculture, forest, urban, etc.) in 10-acre parcels.
Only 6 percent of original native habitat remains in LSC watershed. What is left is
fragmented by "shotgun" pattern of development. Much of the remaining habitat is
along the Lower St. Croix and its tributaries, and that habitat is less fragmented.
Between 1973 and 1991, lost 37,000 square miles of cropland. Urban land use grew
from 3 percent of watershed to 6 percent. Most heavy development is in Washington
County, St. Croix County, Troy Township.
Have lost 94 percent of native habitat.
Dan also talked about MWBAC's current work relating to urban growth:
The riverway boundary doesn't include everything you can see from the river--much
of what you can see is outside the boundary (for example, towns).
MWBAC's position is that landscape changes can be attractive, urban development
can be attractive, and can be part of the character of the riverway.
MWBAC has issued a policy statement on urban growthldevelopment in the
watershed, commuter-shed. (NOTE: THIS STATEMENT WAS DISTRIBUTED AT
MEETING & IS AVAILABLE FROM MWBAC).
Figuring out ways to stop urbanization used to be popular (i.e. stop through zoning,
large lots, etc.). This "just say no" approach clashed with desire to increase tax base.
BAC interested in question: what drives people out of core city into suburbs. Interest
is to make urban areas more liveable, create viable economic units that are places
where people want to live.
Questions. observations:
Need to consider the true costs of growth -- for infrastructure to allow commuters to
come into the city only to work.
Need to encourage telecommuting to decrease stress on infrastructure.
Question to Dan re: how urban growth policy statement relates to the cooperative
management plan for the riverway or the watershed plan. Answer: local governments
and private landowners have an important role in land use--but state, federal
cooperation is also important.
Creative approaches to land use solutions are made more important because the
Lower St. Croix is a National Scenic Riverway.
Question to Dan re: how much of LSC is cropland. Answer: 60 percent.
Issues of crossings cannot be isolated from development.

Re: F. Y. 1996 Certified Local Government Grant Agreement
Federal Grant Number: 27-96-11101A.011
Dear Sue:
You will find enclosed copies of a Certified Local Government Grant Agreement for
the City's recent CLG grant of $5,000 to assist the City with survey and evaluation of the
Sabin District. When we wrote to you on April 24, we had received only 58 % of our
federal funding for the year. We are pleased to inform you that we have just received a
letter dated June 3 from the National Park Service approving our full appropriation for fiscal
year 1996. This will permit all ten CLG grant projects approved by the Grants Review
Committee at their March meeting to be fully funded.
Carefully review Attachment A of the Agreement which outlines your project in
detail. Your Agreement also includes the U. S. Department of Interior Civil Rights
Assurance (page seven), and Certification Regarding Debarment, Suspension, Ineligibility
and Voluntary Exclusion (pages eight and nine).
If the Agreement is aCC'eptable, please have all three copies signed (on ~~,
seven, and eight) and return to me for processing by our Finance Department. After being
fully executed, a copy will be returned for your records. An extra copy of the Agreement is
enclosed for your files until an executed copy can be returned to you.
Please note the requirements for contracting (see Item B. 2.a. on page two) which
allows for at least two weeks for potential bidders to respond, and Public Law 101-517, (see
Item B. 3. on page two), which outlines specific information regarding public notice of

Board of Trustees
Minutes
June 4, 1996
Members: Doeksen, Gorski, Kalinoff*, Lockyear, Maybanks, Myers*, Nelson, Ruch,
Sandeen* (on leave). Director: Bertalmio.
*Absent
1 . Call to order:
A quorum being present, President Ruch called the meeting to order at
7:06 p.m.
2. Adoption of the Agenda:
Moved to adopt the agenda. Moved by Lockyear/seconded by Doeksen.
Unanimously approved.
3. Communications
Ms. Janice Merten, Stillwater resident, had a concern that the Trustees hear the
wishes of citizens. Ms. Merten had requested that a book be moved from the childrens
section to an area for older readers. She received a letter from the Children's
Librarian explaining why the book was in the appropriate section (a section for readers
through 9th grade). Ms. Merten felt the letter snubbed her request to move the book
and wanted the Trustees to hear her views face to face.
4.
Discussion of the Collection Profiles will be a good beginning of information for
study by the Collections Committee.
5.
Member Education
We discussed committees and determined that the Committee Chairs will send
monthly paragraph reports to be included in the information packets. We also noted
that staff members will be available to be on the committees.
6.
Consent Calendar
Nelson moved/Lockyear seconded motion to approve the consent calendar including
payment of bills in the amount $9,941.56. Unanimously approved.

Board of Trustees Minutes 6/4/96
7. Old Business:
We discussed creating a brochure on "Kids and Libraries" a publication of ALA to
have available re minors access to library material.
We also heard from the Library-School Liaison Committee that they met in May
with school media people and will meet again in June.
.'
.'
8. New Business:
The 1997 staffing budget process is beginning with a focus on the Information
Desk, Children's services and possibly the St. Croix Collection.
A WCL staff member alerted Ms. Bertalmio about the constitutionality of limiting
certain notices and events in our Bulletin Board Posting Policy. In July we will
have a revised policy for discussion.
The Washintgton County Library has hired Debbie Sayles as a fund-raiser for
their newly created WCL Foundation. They discussed combining with
Stillwater on this. Ms. Bertalmio to gather more information.
9. Adjournment: Agenda items being completed and there being no other
business, President Ruch adjourned the meeting at 8:40 p.m. and committees
had preliminary planning meetings for their activities.

RE:
City of Stillwater, Minnesota
Downtown Reconstruction Project LI#257
Honorable Mayor and Council Members
City of Stillwater
216 North Fourth Street
Stillwater, Minnesota 55082
Dear Mayor and Council Members:
I understand our recent request to schedule a workshop session with the council was not acted upon. Our
intention was to discuss issues and get your feedback. I'm sorry we will miss that opportunity. We accept
your decision and will be meeting with your staff to finalize the fee issue at the amount you have offered.
e
Since the downtown project is complete, revisiting the issues surrounding the work is probably not on the
top of anyone's priority list of things to do. But, there are some things we are very interested in and the issue
of our fees is not the most important. It became clear to us on the downtown project there was not a good
process of communication between our people and the city. This was, in large part, responsible for many
of the misunderstandings and issues that arose. We want to help make certain such a process is in place on
all projects.
When we meet with your staff, we will be looking for ideas to improve communications. Our goal, as
always, is to provide outstanding service to the city. To a large degree, excellent service is measured by the
quality of communications. We welcome your ideas.
Sincerely,
~~
Donald E. Lund, P .E.

Steve Russell, Community Development

Stillwater, MN 55082
Dear Steve,
I'm pleased to let you know that your application for funds from the Livable
Communities Act's Tax Base Revitalization Account -- the Maple Island site -- has been
recommended for funding by the Metropolitan Council at their meeting on June 27,
1996.
As you probably know, the funds for this account will not be available to the Council
until sometime around mid-July. Beginning the week of July 8th, I would like to schedule
some time to meet with you to draw up a contract for your clean-up project.
Meanwhile, congratulations! I'm really pleased with the applications that were submitted
for this funding cycle, and I look forward to the successful completion of your
redevelopment project.
e
Yours truly,
~hley

SUBJECT: C.S. 8204 T.H. 36
Signing for Downtown North Main Street Parking
Dear Mr. Russell:
As requested, this letter is wrote to summarize our recent phone
conversation regarding the city's proposal for the installation of
a sign on eastbound Trunk Highway 36 telling motorist to turn left
at CSAH 15 as a route to parking facilities on the north edge of
the downtown business district. This proposal is to help ease
congestion on Main Street and at other parking facilities by
telling motorist to go north on CSAH 15 to Trunk Highway 96, east
on Trunk Highway 96 to Trunk Highway 95, and south on Trunk Highway
95 to parking facilities which are presently under used. I have
reviewed this request with others in the Department and find that
the proposed signing could not be permitted. The reasons are as
follows:
1. A sign message can not be developed to convey a clear
simple m~aning to give motorist adequate time for
proper response without introducing confusion.
2. These parking facilities do not have a broad enough
appeal and do not generate high enough traffic
volumes to warrant signs along this high speed
expressway.
3. The low traffic volumes that these parking facility
generate would have minimal" affect helping to
relieve congestion on Main Street. Motorist will
continue to drive around trying to find parking as
close to their destination as possible.
4. standard parking (D4-1) guide signs should be
installed in the downtown area to help identify
these parking facilities and direct motorist to them.
We feel that these signs would help address the
city's concern. Also we would be more than willing
to help prepare plans and issue any necessary permit
for this signing on Trunk Highways 36 and 95.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We trust that the
city's concerns have been answered.
