CITY OF STILLWATER
MEMO
TO: Mayor and City Council ~p
FROM: Diane Deblon, Finance Director
DATE: August 30, 1995
SUBJECT: Christmas Lights Request
BACKGROUND
City Attorney Magnuson and I had an opportunity to meet with representatives of the Stillwater
City Chamber of Commerce regarding the request for purchase of the Christmas lights and
dec<?rations in the downtown. It was determined during the meeting that the approximate cost of
storage, maintenance, insurance, hanging and removal of the Christmas decorations is
approximately $2,500/year, and the organization is willing to assume the responsibility of the
yearly costs. The organization does not have the funds to purchase the decorations ($25,900) and
feels that entering into any repayment agreeinent for the purchase cost would compromise these
future ability of the organization to continue to operate.
~ALYS~
From the city's perspective, if the organization is willing to commit in writing to the
maintenance, etc. each year and the decorations have an expected life of 10 years, the total dollar
commitment from the chamber ($25,000) would come close to a 50/50 cost-sharing arrangement
with the city. Further, the purchase price of the decorations ($25,900) would be a TIF eligible
expenditure, whereas the maintenance would not.
RECOMMENDATION
Therefore, I would recommend that the City of Stillwater pay for the purchase of the Christmas
lights and decorations with funds from TIF District # 1 and enter into an agreement with the
Stillwater City Chamber of Commerce for the storage, maintenance, insurance, handling and
other incidental costs associated with the lights and decorations.

Dear
r1 ~ 2. tI t;..vl/
Our committee, the Stillwater Area Citizens Open Space Committee, is
beginning Phase II of our open space inventory, the Citizen Attitude Survey.
We've contracted with a highly respected survey company, Decision
Resources, to craft the questions for a phone survey of Stillwater and
Stillwater Township residents. The focus of the survey will be to determine
resident interest in the preservation of open spaces and natural resources and
methods of funding.
With this letter, we are requesting your input regarding the questions to be
included in this survey. The questions or concerns that you would like to see
addressed are very important to us. We invite you to submit your ideas to
our committee so that we can forward them on to Decision Resources staff.
We would also like to invite you to attend a meeting with our committee and
Decision Resources staff to discuss a rough draft of the survey. This meeting
will be held on Wednesday, September 20, at 7:00 p.m. at the Stillwater
Library.
If you wish to participate in the development of the survey, please send us
your written suggestions by Thursday, September 14 and indicate whether
you will plan to attend the meeting on September 20. (You can send your
ideas and meeting confirmation to: Todd King, 210 Wildwood Court,

THE CITIZEN'S RESPONSIBILITY
This Republic is as much endangered today by the indifference of millions of
people, inheritors of the traditions and opportunities of this greatest of all nations,.
to their own duties and responsibilities, as it is by the activities of the open and
secret enemies of American institutions.
Half of our citizens do not even take the trouble to vote. Most of the remainder
consider their duty to their country discharged when they have cast their ballot and
go about their business during the intervals between political campaigns, giving lit-
de or no thoughts to the national welfare.
Elements antagonistic to American institutions are not so indifferent or so idle.
They are ceaselessly at work, in the open and under cover. They are never off the
job of undermining the faith of the people in their country, in spreading unrest, in
arousing discontent, envy and hatred-those passions out of which violent revolu-
tions are fashioned.
George Washington expressed_ the hope that the United States of America
would not follow "the usual course of nations." The usual course of nations has
been that of the tide in its daily movements-to rise and then fall. This national
cannot escape the usual fate of governments except through the vigilance of its
citizens.
It is human nature to take an inheritance for granted, to accept it as a matter of
course, to deem it unnecessary to defend that which others have fought for that it
might be ours. And so, with many voices raised in criticism of American institu-
tions, American traditions and American ideals, few think it worth while to call
attention to the incalculable value of these institutions. traditions and ideals. How
is a new generation to learn that there is anything worth while in them?
To fight for one's country when its life is threatened by violence is noble and
heroic; to stand up for it in peace time is a virtue quite as necessary. And unless
there be such virtue in citizenship, our traditions will be forgotten, our ideals
neglected and our institutions will crumble.
What is more important to every citizen of this Republic than the perpetuity of
the institutions which protects his life, his liberty and his propenyl What is of more
priceless value than the national ideas and traditions which have given this nation.
its proud place in history? Yet how little thought the average man or woman gives
to this most vital of all questions affecting the most previous things in life!
Institutions and governments do not preserve themselves. They can be preserved
only by the vigilance of those to whose guardianship they have been committed.
Upon you, as a citizen of the Republic, rests a responsibility which cannot be
shirked without danger to your country. Its future is worth something to your
thought, so much of which is given to matters of less moment.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and Council
FROM: City Coordinator
SUBJECT: Lumber Barons Hotel project (processes)
DAlE: September 1, 1995
Mr. James Huntsman has asked to be placed on the agenda to discuss certain issues related to the
construction of the Lumber Barons Hotel. Mr. Huntsmans letter to the Council dated July 25, 1995
details the issues Mr. HWltsman wants to address. I thought that this matter was somewhat resolved
between the Council, Heritage Preservation Commission (HPC), the Planning Commission (PC),
developers and staff. I refer to the attached memorandum submitted by the City Attorney and
discussed at the meeting of August 15, 1995. I also refer to the meeting that was held between the
HPC, PC, Councilmember Zoller and City Attorney whereat the aforementioned resolution was
made.
At the meeting of August 15, 1995 the Council determined, after considering the report submitted by
the City Attorney, that a workshop should be held with the various Commissions. The workshop
would be used to examine the process, related policies, ordinances, authorities, etc., related to issues
like this to better understand the process and to "clean up" any problems related to the process.
Therefore, I believe Mr. Huntsman's concerns, questions, etc., have or will be addressed thru this
further process.

RE:
Downtown Hotel Issues
DATE:
August 11, 1995
THE PROBLEM
When construction of the Lumber Barrons Hotel began in the spring of 1995, members of the
public and members of the Design Review Committee raised concerns that the hotel being built was
different from the one that had been approved for building by the City. The Council asked for a report
from me with regard to the adequacy of the existing ordinances and the adequacy of the enforcement in
place of contracts and permits.
BACKGROUND
In the first week of July 1994 both the Design Review Committee and the Stillwater Planning
Commission gave approval of a Special Use Permit for a forty-eight room hotel that would have been
built north to Myrtle Street and provided for the renovation of the Lumberman's building. This action
took place by the Heritage Preservation Committee on July 6, 1994 an\:l by the Planning Commission on
July 11, 1994.
Shortly after these permits were given however, the City received a letter from Public Resource
Group, Inc. a copy of which is attached setting forth that the Developers had reviewed the plans with an
architect as the project related to costs and the forty-eight room motel was too expensive. They suggested
they could only build thirty-six hotel suites immediately, and fill out the balance of the property when
cash flow permitted. Thereafter, on July 24, 1994, the Developers furnished a pre-application form for
tax increment financing assistance and this document contained a scaled down version of the hotel.
Thereafter, the City Council reviewed the entire project on August 9, 1994. This meeting was scheduled
specifically for the purpose of reviewing the fmancial requests that the Developers had made but it
became a general review at a workshop setting, and the City Council reviewed not only the thirty-six
room hotel, but also the scaled down version shown on the plans submitted by the Developers with their
Tax Increment application. Although the plans that the City Council were different from those approved
by the Design Review Committee and the Planning Commission, the plans were not referred back to these
commissions for consideration.
.e-
.
.
When the City Council took final action on the sale of the property on January 17, 1995, the City
Council certified by resolution that the plans had been approved however, no specific reference was made
to which plans were being considered as approved. The Developers considered that the plan submitted
and approved by the City Council on August 9, 1994 at their workshop were the approved plan and
designs. The Planning Commission and the Design Review Committee, the official bodies charged with
review of the design, had taken no action with regard to the design since their meetings of early July of
1994.
e
The process could have perhaps been squared up during the spring of 1995 when the building
plans were presented for the necessary building permit. The building plans however, were not compared
with the approved design and a building permit issued. The Design Review Committee however, took
action on June 5, 1995 and again on July 11 and again in August at the recent meeting to approve the
design changes, but they did so reluctantly feeling somewhat pressured to approve the changes in view
of the construction being nearly complete.
PROBLEMS WITH THE PROCESS
1. On August 9, 1994 when the City Cou"ncil considered and took action on a set of plans
showing a change design, the Special Use Permit and Design Review Permit should have been referred
back to the Planning Commission and Design Review Committee for action.
2. When the City Council construed that the plans were complete and approved on January 19, .
1995, a clear indication should have been made to the Council with regard to the specific plans. The staff
reports only assured the Council that the designs and plans had been approved and that all conditions
precedent to the sale had been satisfied. .
3. The plans presented in the application for a Building Permit should have been reviewed
against the approved design before a Building Permit was issued.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CHANGE
1. The authority of both the Planning Commission and the Design Review Committee should be
made more clear and the procedures for dealing with both of these committees should be better refined.
2. Whenever a development contract is envisioned that relates to a project such as this, specific
approvals by the various committees should be required as conditions of the contract and failures of these
conditions should be grounds for default.
3. A precise definition both for ordinance purposes and development contract purposes should
be developed for "plans". A sketch plan is much different than a construction plan and the word should
not be used without being defined.
4. The ordinances and the development contracts should be clear with regard to an agent of the
City that is authorized to accept plans. The documents in place now are referred to plans filed with the
City but this could mean the Building Inspector, the Community Development Director or the City Clerk.
5. A check off procedure should be developed so that all required departments check off on
buildings plans before a building permit is issued.

Mayor and City Council
City of Stillwater, Minnesota
216 North 4th St.
Stillwater,~ 55082
Re: SUP/94-39 to St. Croix Preservation Co., Inc.
Mayor and City Council:
Introduction
Since I decided at the last minute to appear at the City Council's July 18, 1995 meeting
under the open forum part with my concerns and issues regarding the process leading
to the significant changes to the originally approved design of the proposed hotel,
restaurant, and meeting center ("center") at 127 S. Water Street to be developed and
operated by the St. Croix Preservation Co., Inc. ("SCPC"), and since the Council was
not prepared to address and respond to those concerns and issues, this letter sets forth
those concerns and issues so that the Council can respond. The expression of my
concerns must not be construed that I disapprove of the project per se. On the
contrary, I favor it, but I would like to see such a dominant downtown building have a
high quality, historic-appearing, exterior architecture. The fundamental issue I raise to
the Council is whether due process, especially Ch.31, Subd. 29,30, was complied with
for this project to-date. Though I might not like the outcomes of the due process, I am
concerned only that due process was followed. Therefore, I would like to reiterate the
process that has taken place thus far from my perspective so that a due process
determination can be made. The validity of the information herein is subject to the
validity, completeness, and currency of the public documents used, which might be
superseded by other documents unknown to me.
The Development Approval Process
On or about July 6,1994, the SCPC submitted preliminary plans to the City's Heritage
Preservation Commission ("HPC"), case # DR/94-7 for a design review permit for its
proposed 48-room center under City Code Ch.31, Subd. 29,30. The exterior
architectural design of the new addition was approved essentially as submitted. There
were nine (9) conditions of approval (Ex. 1). In particular, condition 4 requires that the
project accommodate 48 hotel rooms and that any changes affecting the hotel's design
will require design review. Condition 7 requires that "The building line on the Myrtle
Street face shall be the same as presently exists (in Hooley's grocery store) and there
shall be no canopy as presently exists." (emphasis added).
On or about July 11,1994, the SCPC submitted the same preliminary plans to the City
Planning Commission ("CPC"), case # SUP/94-39, for a special use permit under City
Code Ch.31, Subd. 29,30 for construction of a 48-room hotel, bar/restaurant, and
conference center. The CPC approved SUP/94-39, subject to eight (8) conditions (Ex. 2).
In particular, condition 4 requires that "All design review conditions of approval shall
be met."
e
During fall 1994, a development contract between the City and the SCPC was
negotiated and entered into. In January 1995, SUP/94-39 was issued to SCPC, with
the conditions of approval of both the CPC and HPC expressly included. SCPC
President Duane Hubbs accepted SUP/94-39 on January 4,1995, expressly accepting
all the conditions of the SUP set forth therein (Ex. 3).
.
.
~
During March and April 1995, construction plans were submitted to the City's staff for
a building permit. To the best of my knowledge, these construction plans did not
comply with the SUP/94-39's conditions of approval in that (1) only 42 hotel rooms a
hotel were to be built instead of 48; and (2) the building line on the Myrtle Street face .
was not the same as existing. when the SUP was issued and accepted. Based on
measurement from the new plans, the new addition's north building line was to be
about 50 feet short (i.e., south) of that required. This length reduction presumably
accounts for the fewer number of rooms. A building permit was apparently issued
because cement foundation and footing work took place during May 1995, according to
the City's inspection sheets.
The SCPC presented its changed plans to the HPC for review on June 5, 1995. I did
not attend this meeting to comment on the proposed changes because I did not know it
was on the agenda. I comment further on this point later. The plans had significant
architectural changes from the plans submitted in July 1994, in addition to the
reduction in number of rooms and building length.
Comparing the original, approved design of the west elevation of July 1994 to the
changed west elevation of June 1995, the following architectural design features had
apparently been deleted: the pediment at the center of the east and west parapets;
brick dentils just below the roof line and above the first level; two limestone capitals in
each 3-story pilaster; recessed porches/balconies with solid brick "railing"; corbel
bricking under the third story, recessed balconies; transom windows above each suite's
patio doors; limestone columns on each side of 16 suites' patio doors; large glass "wall
panels" along the street level, with divided-pane light transoms above each and
limestone sill below; and an interior fire escape in the northwest comer.
Approximately fourteen-foot (14') wide, projected, cantilevered wood decks, wrapped in
cedar wood, and with wrought iron railings have replaced the recessed brick balconies.
The addition's width has been reduced by about seven (7) feet. The six windows in the
west elevation of the "transition building" (short section between the Lumberman's
Exhange and new addition) originally with historic capital and ledge-sill design have
been changed to four without any apparent historic architectural top and bottom design
treatments. A comparison of the north elevations shows a similar elimination of the
brick dentils, limestone pilaster capitals, several ground-level panel windows, and
second and third floor window capital & sill detailing. The added exterior fire escape
likely accounts for the removal of the ground bay windows. The HPC imposed several
conditions of approval on these new plans.
I am disappointed that such considerable changes were reviewed without there being
better notice for input from Stillwater's citizenry at large. Even if I had seen the June
5 agenda before the meeting, it indicated the review was only informational, not for
formal modification approval. It is my understanding that on July 24, the HPC
submitted to the City Council an explanation of their June 5, 1995 meeting regarding
these changes.
In early July, a member of the HPC approached me, expressed concern about the
significant changes and the process that was occurring, and asked for my opinion on
the architectural changes in the plans as a citizen interested in and concerned about
historic building architecture in Stillwater. In my layman's opinion, the historic _
architectural design had gone from very positive to ordinary, with little historic ,., I
architectural detailing.
2
'-
.
.
,
e
At the City Council meeting of July 11,1995, when Councilman Bealka inquired about
. the number of rooms being constructed, Mr. Duane Hubbs stated that a ~-room hotel
was being built. To me, that suggests noncompliance with SUP/94-39's condition of
approval of 48 rooms. However, under Section 4.3 of the contract, the SCPC has until
October 1996 to complete construction. While the SCPC is not required to develop all
48 rooms at once, I ask now whether approved constructions plans must comply with
the condition of approval to at least potentially accommodate 48 rooms when completed
before a building permit is issued. I don't know the answer because a clear answer is
not apparent to me from the City's zoning code. I also feel the City should have some
definitive and binding assurance that the existing 50' "gap" on the north will be
developed as agreed to.
On July 18, I decided to appear before the Council to present these circumstances in
hope that the City would take action to provide better oversight and to better solicit
public opinion when such drastic changes in a project are proposed. During my
presentation, I believe Steve Russell, the Community Development Director, stated
that the changes submitted at the June 5 HPC meeting were required by Charles
Nelson, Historic Architect of the Minnesota HPO, and that the HPC and CPC were the
decision authorities for the project.
To ensure the accuracy of Charles Nelson's comments on the changes, I discussed the
necessity of all the architectural detailing changes with him on July 26, 1995. He
stated the only absolutely required changes were lowering the height of the transition
building and avoiding duplication/replication of the architectural detailing of the
Lumberman's Exchange building in the new addition. Aside from those, the original
design of the new addition submitted in July 1994 would be acceptable and would not
jeopardize the Lumberman's Exchange tax. credit eligibility. However, he strongly
suggested not to use brick dentils because they represented inappropriate architectural
detailing for the addition's style. Instead, he recommended brick or masonry corbeling.
Also, the east and west roofs' curved pediments should be replaced with a rectangular
or stepped-rectangular design because they were too similar to that on the Lumber-
man's Exchange. They were not required to be deleted. Also, the window treatments of
the addition's north face and transition building's faces in the original design should
not duplicate the historic window detailing in the Lumberman's Exchange. Again,
however, the use of different, but still historic-appearing, capital and sill window
detailing is quite permissible.
Due Process Involved
e
I will now explain why I believe proper due process of law was not totally followed for
this project. Under City Code Ch.31.29(8) both the HPC and CPC have authority to
impose conditions of approval. Under Ch.31.29(9) a public hearing is not expressly
required for a design review permit, but Ch.31.29(9)(g) gives discretion to the City's
Community Development Director ("CDD") to require a public hearing for a design
review permit. Not requiring a public hearing on the design of this project requires a
judgment that the block-long, 3-story center was not of even potential overall communi-
ty concern. I seriously doubt that is true. Because the exterior design of large,
downtown buildings is generally at least as impacting to the general public as
variances in setbacks are to immediate neighbors, and variances require a public
hearing, I strongly urge the City Council to amend Ch.31.29(9) to expressly require a
public hearing for design review permits. This mechanism will at least publicly notify
the citizenry when the design of projects of concern will be addressed by the HPC so
3
. .
that they can decide whether to attend. Alternatively, the City should publish the
agenda of the HPC meetings in the local newspapers. Otherwise, people have to visit
City Hall every month to see the agenda, which is inconvenient. In any case, a public
hearing was not required and not held for the July 1994 HPC design review meeting
when the original plan was submitted.
However, a public hearing of the HPC's June 1995 review of the major modifications in
the plans should have been required under Ch.31.29(17)(b). The requirement therein
of a public hearing has no qualification as to type of permit as in Subd. 29(9). Because
the proposed changes would violate two conditions of SUP/94-39, it cannot be seriously
contended that Ch.31.29(17)(a) applies. More important is whether, because the
SCPC's proposed plan changes submitted to the HPC's June 1995 review would
potentially violate two conditions of approval of SUP/94-39, due process requires the
SCPC also to submit an application for Use Permit Modification under Ch.31.29(17)(c),
or are approved design changes automatically incorporated into a SUP without review
again by the CPC? Again, I don't know the answer, but I think this procedural
question should be addressed, resolved, and incorporated as a code amendment so that
it will be clear for future applications.
As to the CPC having final decision authority on SUPs as Mr. Russell claimed, the CPC
nearly always has final decision authority for a CUP or SUP under Ch.31.29(13)(chart).
However, there is an exception as provided in footnote (1) whereby the City Council
should have had final decision authority on SUP/94-39 because the center is in the
City's flood plain district, i.e., Zone A10. If true, then the City Council should have had
to approve SUP/94-39 after approval by the CPC.
Finally, if the City has knowledge that a permit is not met or complied with, then
under Ch.31.29(16), the City must give formal notice to the applicant. A request to do
so by a concerned citizen should not be necessary because the language implies it is
self-executing.
If, after deliberating all the above, the Council feels something is awry about the
construction of the project, I hope it will act to meet and resolve any differences with
the SCPC as soon as possible to avoid delaying the project. Personally, I am not
insistent that all the original detailing as proposed be retained, but retention of the
visually significant detailing would be highly desirable. Any added costs would be
offset by an increase in the value of the property. In any case, I hope the City Council
will modify the permit approval process to ensure better communication among all
parties, especially citizens, in the future.
Sincerely,
(2. I/~~_y,-

PLJING APPLICATION REVIEW ·
Case No. DR/94-7
ttpc Date: .. July 6, 1994
Project Location:
127 South \Vater Street
Zoning District:
CBD
Comprehensive Plan District: Central Business District
Environmental Review: Exempt
Applicant's Name: St. Croix Preservation Company
Type of Application: Design Review Permit
Proiect Descriotion
Design Review for a hotel, conference center and restaurantllounge.
Discussion
The request is to restore the Lumberman's Exchange Building and add a conference centerlhotel
to the structure. The Lumberman's Exchange Building, constructed in 1890, was directly
associated with Stillwater's lumbering industry and is the main visual focus of this project The
building will be restored according to the Secretary of Interior Standards for Rehabilitation. The
addition will be a clear separate element and a product of its own time.
The plan, as shown on the elevation drawings, were reviewed by Charles Nelson, historic
architect of the State Historic Preservation Office along with the developer and City staff.
Modifications will be made to the drawings as required. They will be described in review of
each elevation. The overall concept of the addition will be to use similar brick material and
recall the scale and proportion of the Lumberman's Exchange Building.
Westf\Vater Street Elevation
The west elevation shows a restored Lumber Exchange Building. The window openings on the
second and third floors have been returned to their original configuration along with the 2 over
2 windows. The storefront will also be returned back to its original state. After review by Mr.
Nelson, it was indicated that all the door openings would not be needed since the facade was
removed from its state. Modifications to this elevation will be to omit three of the five door
operungs.
e
Ex.1
.
.
,
.
e
The new structure shows a series of bays and columns extending the three stories. Eac.h suite
will have a balcony. The first floor facade will combine or remove some of the series of MO
small bays ~i.thin the large bays of the first floor levels because of the interior uses.
North Elevation: The north elevation recreates the Lumberman's Exchange Building. This will
be modified so it will be product of its own time to include a series of small, more modem
windows within the same rhythm.
East Elevation: The east elevation will replicate the Water Street elevation with the suggested
modifications.
South Elevation: The south elevation will be~ again, the restored Lumbennan's Exchange
Building.
No landscape plan for the hotel or the parking lot have been submitted and will need to be
completed.

Project Description
A special use permit for the construction of a 48 - room hotel, bar/restaurant and conference
center.
DisclL~sion
The proposal is to construct a 48 unit hoteVconference center/restaurant The Lumberman's
Exchange building. will be restored, the grocery store building will be demolished and a new
structure will be constructed to compliment the Lwnbermanis Exchange building. ,The Heritage
Prescryation Commission reviewed the design elements of the project and recommends approval.
The design re'\;ew statT report and conditions of appro'val are attached.
The parking demand for the project is 163 parking spaces. This demand is based on the total
number of guest rooms plus 1/2 the demand for the conference center and hotel since they are
shared facilities. The old grocery store parking lot can accommodate 64 spaces which lea\'es an
urunet need of 90 parking spaces. The river lot between Chestnut and Mulberry can accomm0date
approximately 90 parking spaces and the Mulberry Street lot can accommodate between 80 - 100
spaces and the Brine's, River, and Main Street public lots can accommodate approximately 200
parkers. The main parking demand for this area will be for the conference center during the week.
The Parking Commission will review the proposal and their comments incorporated into the
"conditions of approval".
The entrance to the hotel facility is on the comer of Chestnut Street and Water. This location is
the most prominent visual location, but traffic circulation may be a problem. \Vater Street can
accl1rmnodate three lanes of traffic north of the Lumberman's Exchange building. The applicant
has indicated that valet parking will be available for hotel guests.
The City Engineer is re\iewing the traffic situation.

Dear Dick;
Because of the difficultly in locating a landscape contractor who can complete the
sodding on this project in a reasonable amount of time, I request an extension to
the completion date.
I have been trying for three weeks to locate a landscaper and, as of today, I have a
contractor who will do the work, but cannot start until Monday, August 28th.
I would like a two week extension to cover the length of time to complete the sod,
pave the wear course, and do any miscellaneous cleanup.
Should you have any questions regarding this matter, please give me a call.
Sincerely,
Charlie Babich

CITY OF STILLWATER
MEMO
TO:
Mayor and City Council
FROM:
Diane Deblon, Finance Director
~
DATE: August 30, 1995
SUBJECT: Special Assessment Reapportionment for PID #9032-3025
Attached is the resolution to reapportion the assessments for L.r. 301 on PID # 9032-3025
previously submitted to the City Council at the August 1, 1995 meeting.
Mr. Howe has questioned the fact that there was also an assessment for L. r. 173 on the property
that is not being reapportioned. The following are the facts related to the L.r. 173 assessment and
the reasons that staff has not reapportioned this assessment:
1. L.r. 173 was an assessment for watermain that was levied on the property in 1980.
2. The watermain assessment was carried as a "hook-up" charge @ the city. (i.e.-
the amount was not required to be paid until the property hooked up to the city
water.)
3. The area of benefit for the L.r. 173 assessment is 100% for the parcel of property
Mr. Howe retained after the subdivision.
4. A plumbing permit was issued by the city on 8/30/94 for Mr. Howe's property to
hook up to city water and city sewer.
5. Mr. Howe actually hooked up to city sewer on 8/22/94 and city water on
11122/94.
6. The L.r. 173 assessment was inadvertently not collected when the plumbing
permit was issued.
-
Therefore, I do not recommend refunding or deferring (re-apportion) any of the L.r. 173
watermain costs on the parcel. It is my recommendation that it is in the best interest of the city
that only L.r. 301 be re-apportioned as outlined in the attached resolution.
.
.
Resolution No. 95-
Reapportionment and Reassessment of Special Assessments for PID # 9032-3025
e
Whereas, the city has previously adopted the special assessment roll for L.I. 301, and
Whereas, it is the policy of the City Council of the City of Stillwater to reapportion
the outstanding special assessments upon a subdivision of land, and
Whereas, the property owner has signed a waiver of irregularity and appeal for the
original L.I. 301 special assessments, and
Whereas, the balance of the special assessment as of December 31, 1995 on PID
#9032-3025 for L.I. 301 is $3,997.45, and
Whereas, the property owner has paid the special assessment amount of $3,997.45 to
facilitate the prior recording of the subdivision, and
Whereas, the amount of the reapportion that benefits the west half of PID #9032-
3025 is $1,998.72, and
Whereas, the property owner wishes to have the $.1 ,99.8.72 continued to be spread
on his property taxes in the same manner as the ori&inal L.I. 30 I special assessment.
Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved, by the City Council of the City of Stillwater that the
city reassess the PID# 9032-3025 in the amount of $1,998.72 at the same interest
rate and remaining term of the original special assessment for L.I. 301 and that the
City of Stillwater refund to the property owner this same amount.
Adopted by Council this . _ day of 1995.

FROM: Gary Howe
RE: Resolution for reapportionment and reassessment for PID # 9032-
3025- LI 173 and LI 301.
Dear Honorable Mayor and City Council Members,
I question the LJ 173 water deferred assessment for my property which should have
been explained to me and also collected at the time of applying for the plumbing
permit. The well on my property was in perfect working order at that time with excellent
tasting water. If proper protocol had been followed I would have chosen not to connect
to city water since their is no ordinance requiring such.
The deferred water assessment was only figured for the west half of my property since
the east half was termed as "'and-locked and undevelopable".
There was no continuity between the way LI 301 and LJ 173 were calculated. The LJ
301, sewer assessment, was calculated on the entire parcel even though labeled
land-locked and undevelopable.
1. LI 173 should be waved because proper protocol was not followed and I was
not allowed to disconnect.
2. LI 301 should be recalculated for only the west half of the property, as L1173
was calculated on the developable west half.
3. I wish to have the new recalculated amount continue to be spread on
property taxes in the same manner as the original~ special assessment.
,30 I
4. Please refund the difference as both L1301 and L1173 have been payed in
full to allow the subdivision to be recorded.
Thank you.

September 27, 1994
Gary Howe
911 Co. Rd. 5
Stillwater, MN 55082
Attention: Dennis,
Stillwater Water Dept., and
Board of Water Commissioners
Dear Sirs,
On September 27 I placed a call to AI Zupher to request the cost of all
fees regarding the hook up of sewer and water to my home at 911 Co. Rd. 5
(located amidst the extensive construction on that road), so that all
would be ready when I recieved the okay from Clayton to go ahead. At
that time Mr. Zupher quoted me a cost would of $1,165.
I arrived at City Hall at 12:30 that same afternoon and was quoted a
fee of $1,265; $100 higher than the previous quote. I was told that the
Water Department had recently increased their fee to this amount.
I objected to this increase due to the fact that I had begun working
with the Water Dept., Dennis, and Dexter, on or about August 12. During
this time I was running between City Hall, Clayton Eckles, signing the
agreement of assessment, and back to the Water Dept. I even met with
Tim Moore that same afternoon to arrange finality. I followed this by
contracting Rick Fuhr and Jeff Holst to begin work immediately. The
water and sewer were to be run into my home within a week.
At no time during all of these transactions did anyone from the city
mention a permit or fees having to be paid before work commenced. The
only two to mention a fee of any sort was Choc Junker and George Diethart
who mentioned the woe and soc charge before I could change over.
It was through no fault of my own that the hook up date was getting
postponed, that I was being given the run around. and that there seemed to
be little or no protocol within the departments.
To make this scenario worse, at no time during these interactions, did
anyone alert me to the fact that there was a pending increase of fees from
the Water Deptartment, or when to expect this to occur.
{ l.
.
.
!.
Please note the enclosed copy of a note written to my plumber, Jeff
Holst, dated August 30. It is self-explanatory, and again, still no mention
from the Water Dept. or AI Zupher of an increase in fees, the need for
promptness in payment of a permit, or woc and soc charges.
My first notification was from AI Zupher on September 27. I then
called Dennis who directed me to write to the commissioner in order for
the additional $100 added to the stated fee be dropped.
Sincerely,
~~
Gary Howe

Mayor and City Council
City of Stillwater, Minnesota
216 North 4th St.
Stillwater, MN 55082
Submitted September 5, 1995
at City Council meeting
Supplement to my letter of July 28, 1995
Mayor and City Council:
Introduction
Since submitting my letter of July 28, 1995, related to the Lumber Baron's Hotel
project, additional relevant information has come to my attention which needs to be
incorporated. First, I personally submitted two copies of my July 28 letter at about 4
pm July 28 to a staff person at the City's desk in hope it would be delivered that day to
the council members with their packet for the August 1, 1995 meeting. When I did not
appear on the City Council meeting agenda of August 1 under Communications and
Requests, I assumed it had not been delivered in time and would be on the August 15
agenda. When I did not appear on the August 15 agenda, I asked the City staff why not
and was told they could not find my July 28 letter. I resubmitted a copy on August 30
and asked to be on the Sept. 5 agenda for a response to the issues I raised. On Sept. 4,
I asked a council member whether he had received a copy of my letter in his packet. He
said he had not. Instead, there was a letter by Mr. Kriesel mentioning my letter, its
content, and his personal summary of the issues and their apparent resolution. I find it
appalling and outrageous that a citizen's letter to his elected government representa-
tives was deliberately interdicted and not delivered. I can understand such censorship
happening in some nondemocratic countries, but certainly not in the USA!
Additional Information
My letter was based in part on the September 1994 draft of the development contract. I
was not informed of or had a copy of the final executed development agreement of
January 17, 1995. Also, I did not know of the information provided in Mr. Magnuson's
report to the Council dated August 11, 1995. Though I did ask for and thoroughly
looked through the file folder on the Lumber Baron's hotel project before writing my
letter, these materials were not in the folder, nor was I told of their existence. The
absence of this information accounts for the apparent "newness" to me of the new hotel
addition being about 50' shorter than "approved." There is also an error on p.3 stating
the completion date is October 1996, which should be December 31, 1996. However, the
central issue of whether due process was followed to effect modifications after approval
by the HPC and PC remains intact.
TIF Funding
Comparison of the September 1994 second draft of the development agreement with
the January 1995 ("final") agreement raises a serious issue regarding the taxpayer
funding of the project through TIF. Section 4.6 of the Sept. 1994 draft provides for
semi-annual tax increment payments as "... a sum equal to the lesser of $12,500 or 50%
of the available tax increments ... ." (Ex. 4). I had asked Ms. Deblon and Mr. Kriesel
whether the effect of the wording"... the lesser of $12,500 or ..." acted as an upper
limitation of $50,000 per year on the amount ofTIF funds the developers could receive.
They said yes and that they had figured with a life of fourteen years (1997 though
2010), the developers could get no more than about $350,000.
.
.
Ie
However, Section 4.6 of the final agreement was changed to read "... a sum equal to
50% of the available tax increments ... ." (Ex. 5). The previous limitation has been
removed by agreement by the City, in effect, allowing the developers to receive an
additional amount of potentially nearly half a million dollars to a total of $835,000.
Who in the City agreed to such a deletion, why, and what did the taxpayers receive in
return whose value is comparable to the extra half a million dollars?!
A valuation statement for the project at the Washington County Assessor's Office
showed a total cost of about $4 million, based on an acquisition price of $1.15 million.
The forgiveness of $515,000 plus potential TIF funding of $835,000 adds up to $1.35
million, or about 1/3 of the project being paid for by Stillwater taxpayers. I think that is
too much and needs reduction.
Also, if the amount of total TIF funding is limited, commitment of this additional half
million dollars precludes its use for other potential TIF projects. In my opinion, too
much TIF funding is being given for too little in return to the taxpayers.
Moreover, in my opinion, such excessive TIF funding can result in inequitable personal
enrichment for the developers. Consider the scenario where the value of the project of
the life of the TIF is such that the full $835,000 is given and is used to convert the
project's debt into owner equity. If the present developers sell the hotel at some point
after that, they personally get to keep all the $835,000. In effect, the TIF funds are
taken from all the households of Stillwater's taxpayers and put into the households of
the three developers. I think such a transfer of so much taxpayer money to private
individuals is a misuse, if not abuse, of taxpayer funds that are in desperate need of
use for other publicly enjoyed projects such as parks.
Response to Mr. Magnuson's Report of August 11, 1995 and Issues Therein
1. Due process validity of the City Council to effect changes at a TIF workshop to
previously approved Design Review and Special Use permits
Mr. Magnuson states that because of inability to finance the original Preliminary Plans
submitted to and conditionally approved by the HPC and PC, the developers ("SCPC")
submitted modified plans to the City Council and requested TIF funding for those
modified plans at a workshop scheduled for the purpose of reviewing the project's
financing. The Council considered two possible alternative plans and approved the
designs in Mr. Magnuson's report. He states the City Council should have referred the
new plans back to the HPC and PC.
The questions raised here are:
(1) With what due process for effecting design changes did the SCPC comply in
submitting their changes to the City Council at a workshop? Cite the City Code.
(2) Does the City Council have due process authority to approve design changes at
such a workshop or even at all? If so, cite the City Code.
(3) Under what due process does the City have the burden to remand such approval
to the HPC and PC as opposed to the SCPC having the burden to resubmit for
approval?
2
.
.
I
Ie
It seems clear to me that the City Council has no authority to approve design or design
modifications. Such authority for approval of design review and modification is
expressly with only the HPC under City Code, Ch. 31,subd. 29(13,17), 30(3). If true, the
City Council's design change approval on Aug. 9, 1994, has no legal effect. The council's
expression toward the proposed changes is only an expression of their attitude toward
the proposed changes.
The SCPC had many months after the August 1994 workshop within which to resubmit
their changes for approval. Moreover, any plan changes prior to January 1995 should
be superseded by the SCPC's signing SUP/94-39 on January 4,1995. The fundamental
question is whether the SUP/94-39 agreement is legally binding and enforceable. If it
isn't, why was it signed?
2. The need for the authority of both the Planning Commission and Design Review
Committee to be made more clear
The authority of the Planning Commission and Design Review Committee and the
procedures for approval are clearly set forth in City Code, Ch. 31,subd.29(13,17),
30(1,3). The SCPC should not be excused from following established, clear due process
because they voluntarily chose to follow an improper approval procedure.
3. Specific approvals by various committees should be required as conditions of the
contract, and failures should be grounds for default.
In this case, they were. Under Section 2.2.1 of the final agreement, the SCPC
warranted that it would construct the Minimum Improvements in accordance with the
City's zoning regulations, Le., Ch. 31. Under Sections 9.1 and 9.1.1 of the final
agreement, failure of the SCPC to observe or perform any condition to be performed
hereunder (e.g., conditions of approval in a SUP under the City's zoning regulations
pursuant to Section 2.2.1) is an event of default. The SCPC accepted the HPC and PC
conditions of approval January 4, 1995, and agreed to resubmit any changes for.
approval. (Ex. 3, July 28 letter).
Overall, Mr. Magnuson's report is entirely devoid of any assessmentofthe SCPC's
burdens to comply with established due process and of its possible failure to do so. One
might infer from his report that the SCPC is without any fault or burden to know and
follow procedures in the process. As such, it is incomplete and should not be acted upon
by the City Council until a balanced analysis is set forth. Mr. Magnuson is paid to
protect the interests of Stillwater's citizenry to the fullest extent possible. So far, he
has not done so.
Preclusion of Due Process for the Public
It is not contested that the SCPC has a right to request changes in their project's
design. The issue I raise is that subsequent to the due process HPC and PC approvals
of July 6 and 11, 1994, has the SCPC complied with the zoning regulations to obtain
approval of their changes? It does not appear to me that it has.
Furthermore and most importantly, the zoning regulations' due process for properly
making changes from the agreed-upon conditions of approval provides the public with
an opportunity to comment on or object to the changes. Thus, failure to follow the
3
.
.
e
zoning regulations' procedure has denied Stillwater's citizens their constitutional right
of due process to object to a project funded by their money.
It would seem impractical and economically wasteful to stop the project's construction
now or to seek to require some demolition and rebuilding in conformance to any
binding design plans. Instead, I propose that the City Council determine whether the
SCPC has failed to comply with due process or the development contract and if so,
withhold an appropriate amount of financing.
Sincerely,
R,~

Dear Resident:
Please be informed that the Stillwater City Council \-vill be discussing the establishment of no
parking areas at the intersection of North Owens Street and Laurel/Mckusick Lake Road at the
meeting of September 5, 1995 (7:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers-216 No. 4th Street). The City
has received comments from the public regarding line of sight problems with this intersection. At
this time it appears that the problem could be somewhat mitigated by eliminating the parking of
vehicles near the intersection- on Owens Street as indicated on the attached map.
The elimination of parking has some impact on the residents and businesses located in this area.
Therefore the City council would like to give you an opportunity to be heard on this matter. If you
have any questions or concerns regarding the establishment of no parking as explained in this
letter you should consider attending the meeting. You could also write to the Council on this
matter. However, written comments need to be submitted to the City Clerk no later than 3:00 p.m.
Tuesday, September 5, 1995 in order to be considered at the meeting.
Please feel free to call the undersigned at 439-6121 if you have any questions regarding this
matter.
Sincerely,
4.dd-~

RE: CONSUL T ANT SERVICES FOR DESIGN DEVELOPMENT AND REVIEW OF
CONDOMINIUM PUBLIC PARKING STRUCTURE ON UBC SITE
This item is a follow up to the council workshop discussion of the UBC site last Tuesday, August
29, 1995. The UBC site is a significant downtown site and because of the magnitude of the
project, 300 plus car parking structure and 70 - 100 condo units, it is critical to get up front
design assistance to make sure the project "fits" in the area and is consistent with the design
guidelines. Mr. Balay is in a good position to provide the city with such design assistance, He is
familiar with the downtown and the working of the city design review process, The funds to
cover the costs of design assistance are in the planning budget for 1995.
Recommendation:
Approval of design professional assistance for development of UBC site (resolution),

Subject: Architectural Consultant work with Planning Department
Dear Steve:
I enjoyed our discussion of the proposed downtown condominium project and agree that the
best path of coordination with the developer is an agressive application of the downtown design
guidelines and ordinances, to promote a very compatible building before the city commits itself.
If successful, the preliminary process would allow the city to be a cautious, but positive,
contributor.
In direct response to your request I would be glad to act as contract architectural consultant for
the planning department to accomplish a communication of the site specific community
development issues to the developer's design team, I provide hourly consultant services for this
type of work at a rate of$55.00 per hour plus reimbursable expenses. I believe a maximum of36
hours of time would be sufficient for a fee not to exceed $1,980,00.
I would propose dividing my consultant time as follows:
session #1 Meeting to coordinate with city staff and review applicable
guidelines, codes and ordinances.
session #2 Design work with developer's designer directly introducing city and state
printed materials which apply.
session #3 Design work with developer's designer directly to analyze and contribute

Be it Resolved by the City Council (the Council) of the City of Stillwater, Minnesota (the City),

1. Recitals.
a, The Internal Revenue Service has_issued Section 1.103-18 of the Income Tax
Regulations (the Regulations) dealing with the issuance of bonds, all or a portion
of the proceeds of which are to be used to reimburse the City for project
expenditures made by the city prior to the time for the issuance of the bonds,
b. The Regulations generally require that the City make a prior declaration of its
official intent to reimburse itself for such prior expenditures out of the proceeds of
which are to be used to reimburse the City prior to the time for the issuance of the

resolution or other relevant legal documents for the bonds, and under any applicable state
statue, which would apply to the unspent proceeds of the Bonds,

CITY OF STILLWATER
MEMO
TO: Mayor and City Council ~p
FROM: Diane Deblon, Finance Director
DATE: August 30, 1995
SUBJECT: Tax Forfeit Parcels
The city has received notice from Washington County of the tax-forfeit parcels available
to the City of Stillwater.
Public Works Department recommends acquiring four of the parcels for city purposes.
Maps are attached, with three parcels being used for Drainage R.O.W. and one parcel for open
space area.
There is no fee associated with acquiring the parcels, however, two parcels have been
assessed as part of the Myrtle Street Drainage Project. The two parcels were tax-forfeit prior to
the assessment and the city will probably never collect these amounts ($450.85 and $869,51),
anyway.
I would recommend that the City of Stillwater sign the application for acquiring these
properties.

Ms. Modi Weldon, City Clerk
City of Stillwater
BCWMO Member City
216 North 4th Street
Stillwater, MN 55082
Subject: 1996 Brown's Creek Watershed Management OrganiZation Budget Request.
Dear Modi:
Every year prior to September 1st the Brown's Creek Watershed Management Organization
(BCWMO) notifies all member communities of the next years budget request. As you are
probably aware, BCWMO is contemplating a comprehensive study due to flooding and
environmental issues present in the watershed. Recently you should have received a letter
requesting your support for the preparation of this study, Most communities have already
indicated they will support the preparation of this report. The anticipated cost to WMO for the
study has now been included in the 1996 budget request.
At the August BCWMO meeting the 1996 budget was approved with total expenditures of
$35,432.82, The cost for the BCWMO budget is split amongst member cities based on a formula
which uses area population and tax capacity, Using the formula, the total 1996 budget
contribution for the community of Stillwater will be $12,910.17. This amount includes the
anticipated cost of the hydrologic and hydraulic study of Brown's Creek all yearly operating
expenses. In addition, some communities have not contributed the $200,00 contribution for the
scoping study done earlier this year, therefore, for some communities an additional $200,00 is
due to the BCWMO,
Payments to the BCWMO are normally made in two installments, one in January and one in
July, Some communities have already submitted payments for their portion of the proposed
study, The city of Oak Park Heights has submitted $1,200,00 and Stillwater Township has
submitted $2,400.00, Therefore, these communities need not pay the remainder of their balance
until July 1996. Note that a more accurate accounting of each city's contribution will be sent out
as part of the January bills. At this point this information is being provided for communities in
order to allow for budgeting for 1996,
CITY HALL: 216 NORTH FOURTH STILLWATER, MINNESOTA 55082 PHONE: 612-439-6121
It is possible the dollar amounts could be somewhat reduced if a member community were to
protest the dollar amounts. The Joint Powers Agreement, which all communities have signed,
includes language regarding a budget cap based on a mill rate formula, This budget cap can be
exceeded if there is no objection from member communities. Since mill rate formulas are no
longer used, the language of the Joint Powers Agreement is somewhat outdated. It does appear
that the overall 1996 budget for the BCWMO of $35,432.82 might be as much as $10,000,00
over the maximum according to the Joint Powers Agreement using a conversion formula for the
mill rate. Therefore, the actual bill for the 1996 budget sent to member communities may be
reduced subject to comments from members cities.
Please review this information and notify the WMO if you have any questions or comments,
Sincerely,
J.
Klayton Eckles
Brown's Creek WMO Chairperson

Stillwater, Mh. 55082
RE: Stillwater St. Croix Barge Tenninal Co. contract with the
City of Stillwater scheduled for re-negotiation in September
of 1998
Dear Mayor and Council:
We are writing to make ourselves heard regarding the future of
our Company when our September 1998 contract is due for re-negotiation.
OUr concern has come because our property has been taken over on the
south end, little by little each year, by SUnnyside Marina. As I
am sure you are aware they have taken over approximately 75 feet of
our property. On the north end we seem to be invaded by St. Croix
Boat and Packet Co. Especially in the last few years it has been
obvious to us that more and more activity has been going on, on our
north end and south end. In between we are attempting to keep up
with our business as usual without making any noise to the City.
It is our hope to continue our business contract with the
City by re-negotiating a new contract and we hope that will be your
wish also. Please take into consideration that both parties have had
a good working relationship in the last 37 years and are planning and
hoping to continue on in that fashion. We feel very strongly that
our existing contract with the City should have 'grandfather' rights
over any future plans that may be brought for the City'S consideration.
We are a small but busy business with contract responsibilities to
other companies.
Please let us know what the City of Stillwater's thoughts on
this matter are and we will be anxiously waiting for a reply.
Very truly yours,
STILLWATER ST. CROIX BARGE TERMINAL CO.

CITY OF STILLWATER
MEMO
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Diane Deblon, Finance Director
DATE: August 30, 1995
SUBJECT: Back billing for sewer service
It came to my attention and was confirmed by the Water Department that the Sutherland's
and Russell's were hooked up to city sewer service and not being billed for the service. After
further discussion with the Water Department, it was determined that these two properties have
their own well and previously had a meter attached to the well. Apparently, the meters tend to
get plugged frequently and were ultimately removed in 1990. I believe that when the meters
were removed, the city discontinued billing for sewer service. (prior to this time, the meter was
used as the basis for the sewer billing.)
After discussing the issue with city attorney Magnuson, I sent out a letter (copy attached)
to both parties notifying them of the additional amount due for sewer service,

Stillwater City Council
216 N. Fourth Street
Stillwater, MN 55082
Dear Mayor Kimble,
When we received our most recent bills for garbage and sewer there were
.past dueu charges on them with no explanation of what they were for, On
inquiring, we were told that we had not paid our sewer bills since April of
1990. After a number of phone calls on August 1 and 2, letters (dated
August 3) were sent to us informing us that we had not been billed for
sewer charges since that date in 1990.
We have always paid promptly and in full the bills that were sent to us, so
it was a real shock to receive this one (especially for the Sutherlands,
who were initially billed over $2,000 - later corrected to $780.)
We feel that this is in no way our fault, that it is the City's error,
Therefore we are asking that the charge be abated.
At the suggestion of our ward councilman, Eric Thole, we are bringing this
matter to the attention of the City Council. If it is necessary for us to
appear at a Council meeting, please let us know by calling Nadji
Sutherland at 439-1769.
Thank you for your attention.
Sincerely,
Viola and James Russell

Mr. Wayne Norman
1281 W. Orleans Street
Stillwater, NfN 55082
Dear Mr. Norman:
It has just come to our attention that you had previously hooked up to the City of Stillwater
sanitary sewer system on October 6, 1992. The City of Stillwater has an established minimum
sewer charge of$39.00 per quarter for all residences hooked up to the sanitary sewer system,
Unfortunately, you should have been receiving a quarterly sewer bill for the use of the sanitary
sewer from the time of your hookup (Oct. 6, '92). The city has calculated the amount of the
sewer charges from October 1992 as follows:
Oct. - Dec. 1992
Jan. - Dee, 1993
(4 qtrs..@39.00)
Jan. - Dec. 1994
(4 qtrs. @39.00)
Jan. - March 1995
April- June 1995
$39.00
$156.00
$156.00
$39.00
$39.00
TOTAL:
$429.00
Normally, the charges are due when the bill is received, but because of the hardship that the
payment of this amount may present, the city is willing to accept other payment arrangements to '
accomodate your payment in full of this amount. You may indicate on the billing your method
for payment or feel free to contact me regarding this matter, Thank you.

Metropolitan Council
Council activities in August:
Opportunity to serve on area's Transportation
Advisory Board
The Metropolitan Council is taking applications
from Twin City Area residents who can represent
either transit, freight movement or non-motorized
transportation interests on the regional
Transportation Advisory Board (TAB).
The positions are newly created ones on a board
that helps a number of agencies address the
transportation needs of the Twin Cities metro
area.
In addition to these four at-large seats, six regular
vacancies exist on the board, making a total of 10
vacancies, To be eligible for appointment to one
of the six positions, candidates must be residents
of Hennepin, Carver or Scott Counties, north or
central Wasbington County, Lakeville in Dakota
County or generally suburban Ramsey County.
The new board will have 34 members.
Members are not paid, but are reimbursed for
miscellaneous expenses. Applications are due
Sept 18. For more information, or an application
form, call Jan Martin of the Council staff at 229-
2758.
Three sites named urban homestead areas
Sites in Columbia Heights, Minneapolis and St
Paul were named the first three locations for a
demonstration of urban homesteading. These
designated urban homestead areas are authorized
by the Livable Communities Act of 1995 in an
effort to revitalize and stabilize neighborhoods
threatened by urban decline.
No direct Council funding is involved. State
income tax deductions, however, will be available
to middle-income households buying houses in the
homestead zone. The deduction would last up to
five years provided the household does not move
out or sell the home, complies with building codes
or is not convicted of a felony.
The three areas total no more than 1,000 single-
family homes. The Council will report to the
legislature in 1998 on whether the income tax
deduction is enough of an incentive to get middle-
income households to buy single-family housing
in the homestead zones.
(Note to readers: The Metro Digest sorts Council
actions into four areas, reflecting the four Council
standing committees: Community Development,
Transportation, Environment and Finance. It
should also be noted that full Council actions are
reported here, not Committee actions.)
