MEMORANDUM
TO:
Jay Kimble, Mayor; City Council and Staff
FROM:
Dave Magnuson
DATE:
November 17, 1995
RE:
Kornovich Development - St. Croix Village Townhomes Project
At the last meeting, Lonnie Kornovich appeared and asked that he be excused from the City's Park
Dedication Fee for this project because of the extensive extra expense that he will face based upon
conditions of approval placed on the project by the Planning Commission at the suggestion of adjoining
neighbors. This memorandum was prepared in response to the Council's direction.
To begin with, the City is entitled to require a reasonable portion of any proposed subdivision be
dedicated for park use. The statutory authority for this is found in the Statute that authorizes subdivision
regulations and similar authority is not found in the Section of the Statute authorizing zoning regulations.
Feely's Addition was platted in 1980 and since the Feely property was under the jurisdiction of the Joint
Powers Planning Authority, the plat was reviewed by the staff of the Washington County Planning
Department. A review of County records reveal that at the time that Feely's Addition was platted, the
Park Dedication Fee was paid in the amount of ten percent (10%) of the market value of the property
prior to subdivision. I enclose for your review a copy of the planner's letter to the Joint Powers
Committee and also proof that Leonard Feely submitted showing evidence of a cashier's check paid to
Washington County in fulfillment of the Park Dedication requirement.
In my opinion, even though the property was platted as industrial, and recently rezoned to multi-family,
a Park Dedication Fee may only be required at the time of the "subdivision" which occurred when the
plat of Feely's Addition was approved in the year 1980.
Kornovich also asks that he be permitted to install a storm sewer in the boulevard of West Orleans Street
from Curve Crest Boulevard to the project site since it would be better for the project and the City to
avoid tearing up the right of way of Curve Crest Boulevard. I have asked Dick Moore to advise the
Council on this subject although neither Tim Moore nor Sue Fitzgerald see any problem with this request.
e

Kornovich also asks that the Conditional Use Permit be modified to allow an additional black top to be .
installed that will provide a hard surface drive area to accommodate fire trucks that need to gain access A
to a fire hydrant. Since this is being done at the request of the Fire Chief, I see no problem with this ..
request.
Subject to the City Engineer's review of the storm sewer request, it is my recommendation that the Park
Dedication Fee recently imposed on the Kornovich Project be waived; that he be permitted to construct
a storm sewer in the right of way of Curve Crest Boulevard rather than in the street; that he be permitted
to construct the storm sewer in the boulevard of Curve Crest rather than under the black top; and that
he be given permission to construct the necessary hard surface drive area in order to accommodate the
Fire Chiefs request.
Respectfully Submitted,
-.....

Stillwater Area Citizens Open Space Committee
November 16, 1995
Dear Stillwater City Council members:
Enclosed you will find a Summary Report of Findings, Phase I - IV, a ranking
chart of our committee's nine top-ranked sites, and the Stillwater Open Space
Report by botanical consultant Kathryn Malady.
If you will, this packet represents the "what" and "why" of our committee's
efforts to date. The "how," in regards to tactics for preservation of key sites,
will be addressed when our citizen survey is completed in December. We
believe that the survey information will be best conveyed in a workshop
format, scheduled at the earliest convenient date.
Thank you for your support of this effort. We look forward to meeting
with you.
Sincerely,
~. n,L

SUMMARY REPORT OF FINDINGS, PHASE I - IV
Stillwater Area Citizens Open Space Committee
Open Space Assessment and Public Opinion Survey
City of Stillwater and Stillwater Township, Minnesota
November, 1995
-
In August of 1994, the Stillwater Area Citizens Open Space Committee was
established for the purpose of identifying and evaluating open space and natural
areas in the Stillwater area, and surveying public opinion for open space
preservation. The objective of the Committee was to develop recommendations for
preservation of high-priority land as uruque natural resources within the
community. The committee's work progressed through the following five phases:
In Phase I, the committee was formed, background research was completed, open
space efforts in other communities were reviewed, and definitions and evaluation
criteria were developed.
Phase II involved development of an inventory of open-space properties in the
Stillwater area to include 22 individual properties, both public and privately held.
The results of Phase I and II and the preliminary recommendations of the
committee are presented in the Stillwater Area Citizens Open Space Committee
Report dated February, 1995.
In Phase ill, the committee selected 15 properties from the inventory list, based on
acreage, for site visits by a botanical consultant working under the direction of the
committee. Properties were ranked into four categories as 1) high priority,
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 evaluation are
detailed in the Stillwater Open Space Report dated September, 1995.
In Phase IV, the committee further evaluated the top nine properties which scored
in categories 1 and 2 of Phase ill and three lower-ranked properties were added
where there was evidence of community support. Site visits were made by the
committee and the properties were scored using additional criteria considered
valuable to the committee. The results of the scoring identified the top-ranked open
space properties in the Stillwater area.
e
Page 2
e
In Phase V, a telephone survey of Stillwater area residents is currently in progress to
assess public opinion for preservation of open space. The objective of the survey is
to identify the level of financial support within the community for City and
Township expenditures to acquire and preserve open-space properties. The results
of the survey will be presented to the City and Township as soon as available.
Based on the results of our research, the Stillwater Area Citizens Open Space
Committee offers the following recommendations for consideration by the City of
Stillwater and Stillwater Township:
1. Preservation of open space and natural areas must be a high priority to preserve
the scenic setting within the Stillwater area. Open space is a valuable natural
resource deserving of preservation whenever possible.
2. The unique natural features of open-space properties must be fully assessed and
considered in all future planning and land-use decisions.
3. The City and Township governments should carefully consider the nine top-
ranked, open-space properties for partial or full preservation. Growth within the
Stillwater area presents development pressure which immediately threatens some
of these resources.
4. All future development decisions must incorporate an open-space assessment as
a component of land-use decisions.
5. Upon completion of Phase 5, a workshop should be held to prepare an action
plan for open-space preservation based on property availability, financial resources,
and community support.

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 priority, 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 be included in the Minnesota County Biological
Survey.

STILLWATER OPEN SPACE REPORT
by
Kathryn Malody, Botanical Consultant
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
importance. Thirteen 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 C/D) , 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.

SITE G: THE OLD STONE BRIDGE (Figure 1). 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
Maple/Basswood (east 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 concerted effort to controi the encroachment of buckthorn. This
can be accomplished by carefully applying a potent herbicide (Le. 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
north 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 Sandplain: a
Guide to Native Habitats. 1995). These prairies are now relatively rare and are
threatened by urban development and encroachment of woody vegetation.
The Territorial Prison site is a south-facing, approx. 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
support cliff brake and columbine. This is prime habitat for kitten tails
(Bessya build), 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 (Le. 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 verticillatus) 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 verticillatus), listed as a "species of special concern" in the state of
Minnesota.
Water willow (Decodon verticillatus) 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 corner of the state, following the border of the
prairie and the hardwoods.
Figure 4. Water Willow (Decodon verticillatus).
5
Water willow (Decodon verticil/atus) is a perennial with somewhat
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 are 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 em 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
Staloch property. Birding opportunities would be great from this point.
There are 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 intersection.
The northwestern third of this site is a nice sedge meadow with very few
shrubs. The middle third of this site has a narrower creek bottom with fairly
steep slopes down to the creek bottom. The 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. The private lots on the southern third are 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 oxygen for fish to
survive. Soils of these areas are also highly susceptible to soil erosion. Roads
that are 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.
e
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 aborted attempt at the construction of an abatement pond.
The result is a smail 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 reptiles 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 are dominated by brome grass
and Kentucky bluegrass. Also present are 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
starflower. 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 (Thelyptris 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. saccharinum). 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
1 1
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 are 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 turtle 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
northern 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
circumneural seep subtype. The southern third is shrub swamp. Minor
influence of exotics. Heat exhaustion curtailed this visit.

G. "Old Stone Bridge" - The north side of the creek is Maple-Basswood with an
amazingly rich forb layer: Actea rubra and A. alba (in fruit), Caullophyllum,
Trillium, Jack-in-the-pulpit, wild ginger, bloodroot and ferns (shield, lady,
fragile). The canopy consists of basswood and boxelder. The shrub-layer
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.

H. "Brick pond" - There is a hardwood swamp on the S.E. side of the property.
Boxelder 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.

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 daylillies at the western edge. The shrub-
layer consists of gooseberries (Ribes cynosbati and R. hirte/lum) and
elderberry. The canopy of green ash, elm and boxelder is continuous. There is
a black locust located in the west central portion. 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.

J. "Our Savior's Lutheran Church" - There is an aspen clone on the S.W. side of
the emergent marsh. The ground cover is dominated by Kentucky bluegrass.
There is a healthy population of Hooker's Orchis in fruit. There are also
goldenrod and some red maple seedlings, Indian tobacco, Geum, and Virginia
creeper. Shrubs include many honeysuckle, boxelder, dewberries and gray
dogwood. The old fields have a carpet of Kentucky bluegrass and in some
places brome grass too, with clones of solidago. There are scattered Solomon's

gooseberries (Ribes hirtellum), blackberries, buckthorn, and prickly ash. The
forb layer has large patches of naturalized daylillies and lily-of-the-valley 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 are 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...).
Rank = D
N. "Admundson Property" - This site is north of the Stonebridge school. The
upland eastern portion has a couple acres of planted red pine (approx. 30-50
years old) with an occasional spruce. The understory/shrub-layer is
predominantly elderberry, with some thimbleberry, gooseberries and
occasional saplings of black cherry and boxelder. The forb layer is sparse
with occasional poison ivy. Also present are grapes and Virginia creeper. A
shallow pond is located in the center of the site. It is ringed with reed canary
grass and has no notable emergent vegetation. The old fields on the west and
north end are dominated by brome grass, Kentucky bluegrass and milkweed
(Asclepia syiaca). There is evidence of deer activity in the fields and diverse
birds (nuthatches, chickadee, goldfinch, bluebirds) due to the diverse habitats.
There are also large holes in the slope east of the pond, possibly fox dens.

O. " Jaycee Ball Fields" - The emergent marsh dominates the north c~ntral and
northwestern portion of the site. Cattails provide nearly 100% cover except
for open areas of water which are edged with abundant Decodon verticillatus
(EOR) and some swamp milkweed. The open water has duckweed and common
bladderwort (in flower). Care should. be taken when dealing with the
hydrology of this site. The prairie on the knoll east of the emergent march
includes big bluestem and little bluestem with some Kentucky bluegrass. The
forbs include goldenrod (Solidago altissima) and whorled milkwort, bastard
toadflax and culver's root. Smooth sumac and dogwood are invading. The
green herons are very active.

I have reviewed the letter received from the Eagle Ridge Trail neighborhood group and the letter that
Glen Van Wormer sent me in response to the neighborhood groups' letter. I thinkGlen's
recommendation regarding the workshop sessions is appropriate and I would recommend that the
COlUlCil direct Glen and other City staff to meet with the group. Hopefully the workshops will produce

Eagle Ridge Trail Neighborhood Traffic Safety Concerns
SEH No. A~S1lLL9401.00
We have obtained and reviewed the traffic safety materials submitted by Amy Hooley to the City.
The Eagle Ridge Trail neighborhood has been working together to develop a list of problems and
concerns, and to identify possible solutions to traffic issues. They have contacted Washington
County regarding speeds and have contacted the City and County on a number of items regarding
speed limits, traffic signals, signing, bike paths and sidewalks. The group intends to he at the
November 21 Council meeting to discuss reduction of speed of traffic, explore options for walking
and biking and consider traffic ramifications of the proposed elementary school site. A fourth item
relates to the potential connection of Eagle Ridge Trail (Boutwell Road) to County Road 5.
The concerns of the neighborhood are legitimate and need to be addressed. A method that we have
utilized successfully in other communities is to have a separate meeting or workshop with the
residents. This could be at a neighborhood facility such as a church or could be at City Hall. The
concept is basically to work with the residents to fully understand the concerns and problems, and
to discuss fully some of the potential solutions and their ramifications. It is a device to involve both
the City and its residents in dew:loping the best solutions. It also removes it from the formal
environment of Council meetings and public hearings. The objective should be to establish a .
working relationship and to set forth a program that involves the citizens and the City in addressing
their concerns.
The potential connection of Boutwell A venue to County Road 5 will be discussed with the DNR and
Washington County after the November 21 meeting. It would also be desirable to collect any
additional information regarding speeds and traffic volumes on roads north of County Road 12
prior to a meeting with the neighbors. Therefore, I would suggest that we look for a mid-December
evening to provide time to collect the information, and also to provide adequate notice to the
neighborhood of the meeting. This assumes that the concept of a neighborhood meeting is in
e keeping with the desires of the City.
Would you consider the idea of a neighborhood meeting to discuss the traffic concerns. If you need
examples of successes from other communities, we can provide that information to you.

Re: Speeding, traffic and safety concerns in the Eagle Ridge Trail neighborhood,
including Eagle Ridge Trail, Myrtle Street, Boutwell, and Neal Avenue
Dear Wally:
Recently, a group of neighbors met to discuss our safety concerns about the traffic in the
Eagle Ridge Trail neighborhood. We have all observed unsafe situations along Eagle
Ridge Trail, Myrtle Street, Boutwell, and Neal Avenue, including high volumes of fast
traffic, uncontrolled speeds around blind curves, cars being passed on residential streets,
and children unable to cross Myrtle Street on their bikes.
Many of you have been contacted by some of us individually in the past. This time, we
decided to work together, as a group, to address these issues in a more comprehensive
manner. At our first meeting, we identified specific problems, possible solutions, and
future steps. We also developed an informational brochure and distributed it to more
than 200 homes in our neighborhood. The initial response from this canvassing effort
has been very positive. Our next step is to return to these homes to request a more
formal showing of support via a petition.
When the petition is complete, we will request a meeting with you, our City officials, to
discuss our ideas and how we can work together to make the Eagle Ridge Trail
neighborhood safer for our children - and for all of our residents.
Please take a few moments to read over the enclosed brochure. On an ending note,
consider just last Sunday when families were walking, jogging and biking along the
edge of our busy street (with no sidewalks and shoulders) - and a car passed another
(this has happened to all of us more than once). When we implored the driver not to
pass on a residential street, she stated that the car in front of her was driving too slow
(25 mph) and that she thought she could pass anywhere as long as there wasn't a solid
yellow line. We urge you to work with us today - before a tragedy strikes tomorrow.
Sincerely,
e
Lori and John Anderson, Joanne and Jerry Hilpert, Jean and Mark Hoffman,
Amy and Mike Hooley, Kathy and Todd King, Marie and Len Meissner,

RE: Speeding, traffic and safety concerns in the Eagle Ridge Trail
neighborhood, including Myrtle Street, Eagle Ridge Trail, Boutwell, and Neal
A venue.
Dear Joe:
The residents of the Eagle Ridge Trail neighborhood would like to thank
you and other City and County officials for (1) increased patrolling and
enforcement of the speed limit on Eagle Ridge Trail, (2) the addition of
speed limit signs on Eagle Ridge Trail and Neal Avenue, and (3) the
initiation of a traffic study on Myrtle Street. As you know, we are deeply
concerned about the safety of our children and have been very encouraged
to see these initial steps.
We would also like to give you an update of the steps taken by our
neighborhood "task team:"
· In April, we distributed a copy of the enclosed blue brochure to the 223
homes on Eagle Ridge Trail and its adjoining cul-de-sacs, and Neal Avenue
and its adjoining cul-de-sacs (between Boutwell and McKusick Rd.).
· In May, we sent a copy of the brochure and a cover letter to City and
County officials.
.In May and June, we returned to those 223 homes with a petition, to
obtain a formal show of support. Enclosed is a copy of the petition results
for your review. To summarize, we were able to talk with residents at 160
of the 223 homes (72%). Only 4 refused to sign (2%). There are a total of
266 children -18 years old and younger - at these homes. (There are
undoubtedly many more children in the remaining 28% of homes where
we were unable to reach the residents.)
,
e
e
.,
e
At a meeting last week, our task team reviewed the written comments and
discussed the conversations we had with residents during the petitioning
process. We are very energized by the tremendous amount of support and
encouragement expressed by so many individuals! While some progress
has been made, much more can be done to improve the traffic safety
concerns in our neighborhood. Please consider these actions:
On Myrtle Street:
-lower speed limits from Brick Street to Northland or beyond
-pedestrian/bike crossing pavement markings on Myrtle Street at Eagle
Ridge Trail, and at Deerpath
-traffic stop light at Myrtle and Deerpath/Jaycee Sports Complex
-flashing caution lights on Myrtle at Eagle Ridge Trail and Maryknoll
-bike path on north side of Myrtle, from Eagle Ridge Trail to Jaycee Sports
Complex
-pavement markings designating turning lanes
On Eagle Ridge Trail:
-lower speed limit on Eagle Ridge Trail and Neal Avenue
-continued patrolling and enforcement of traffic speeds on Eagle Ridge Trl
-more signs on Eagle Ridge Trail and cul-de-sacs, including no passing
zone, caution-children at play, blind curve 15 mph, and others as needed
-center line pavement markings on Eagle Ridge Trail
-bike paths:
-on east side of Eagle Ridge, from Myrtle to residential properties
-through Green Twig Way development, connecting Eagle Ridge Trail
to McKusick Lake pathways
-a safe, accessible neighborhood park for our 266-plus children
e
,
Once again, thank you for your attention to our concerns and the action
you have taken thus far. The residents of our neighborhood look forward e
to working together with you in the future to accomplish our mutual goals
for the safety and well-being of all of our residents, and especially our
children. We will be following up with you to discuss our suggested
actions in the near future.
Sincerely,
on behalf of the Eagle Ridge Trail neighborhood task team:

Traffic safety concerns along Myrtle Street (County State Aid Highway 12) in
Stillwater
Dear Kathy:
We have received and reviewed your group's letters and brochure regarding traffic
safety concerns on Myrtle Street. We are impressed by the efforts of your group.
Commissioner Abrahamson presented your concerns and petition to the full County
Board on May 16, 1995. The Washington County Public Works Department was
requested to review the issues you raised.
We agree that the current 50 mile per hour speed limit may not be appropriate for
the area. On June 6, we started the process to review the current speed limit by
having our County Board pass a resolution requesting that the Commissioner of the
Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) conduct a traffic study to
determine the reasonable and safe speed on Myrtle Street. Their traffic study will
review the traffic speeds between Man:1ing Avenue and Owens Avenue. As you
may know, Mn/DOT is responsible for setting the speed limits on all public roads in
Minnesota.
We will soon be discussing this situation with Mn/DOT before they conduct their
study. In addition to our concerns, we will be sure to pass along your group's
concerns and a copy of your brochure. We expect that Mn/DOT's study will be
completed this summer. We will contact you as soon as we here that Mn/DOT has
completed their work.
Ie
In the coming weeks, we will be reviewing the pedestrian/bike crossing issue on
Myrtle Street.

Eagle Ridge Trail is Still Dangerous
It doesn't have to be!
e
Your neighborhood needs just one hour of your time,
and together, we will make a difference.
There is power in numbers. As we continue to work with the City to improve
the safety of our neighborhood, we need support from all of our neighbors.
The City Council will discuss the Eagle Ridge Trail neighborhood on Tuesday,
November 21st, at 7:00 p.m. Simply attending this meeting will have an
impact: We all need to be there to stand up in support when our spokespeople
represent us, to:
· Reduce the speed of traffic along Eagle Ridge, Neal, Boutwell and
Myrtle Street,
· Explore options for safe playing, walking and biking for our children
- and for all of us.
.Consider traffic ramifications of the proposed elementary school site
on 12 & 15, particularly on Myrtle Street.
· Prevent the dramatic increase in traffic if the City connects Eagle Ridge
Trail to County Road 5 (see the attached proposal, as reported in the Gazette)
Tuesday, November 21, at 7:00 p.m.
Stillwater City Hall
216 North 4th Street
Our attendance is vital.
Also mail the enclosed, pre-addressed letter (adding specific concerns if you
wish) to Mayor Kimble by November 17. In the meantime, let's all do our part
- and SLOW DOWN!

By MIKE MARSNIK
News Editor
On Tuesday, Short Elliot Hendrickson's traffic
engineer. Glen Van Wormer, updated the Stillwater
City Council on the Deer Path Traffic Smdy.
Residents on that street have complained to city
officials about all the traffic using it as a cut-through
between County Road 5 and County Road 12 (M)Ttle
Street).
The council decided to ask the engineers to smdy the
possibility of constIUcting a cuI de sac at the south end
of the road as a temporary solution and to consider the
possibility of connecting Boutwell/Eagle Ridge to
County Road 5 as a permanent solution to the cut-
through traffic, knowing that it will be expensive
because of the steep grade.
~
"The council decided to ask the engineers
to study the possibility of ..... connecting
Boutwell/Eagle Ridge to County Road 5
as a permanent solution to the cut-through
traffic (on Deer Path) ..."
This matter was tentatively tabled when the
City Council met on October 17. f/1

Mayor, City of Stillwater

Stillwater, MN 55082
Dear Mayor Kimble:
We are concerned about the volume and speed of traffic on Myrtle Street
(west of Birchwood), Eagle Ridge Trail, Neal Avenue (between Boutwell and
McKusick), and Boutwell, and the safety risk to all of our residents.
We are also strongly opposed to the idea of connecting County Road 5 to
Eagle Ridge Trail/Boutwell, as a proposed solution to the Deer Path Traffic
Study.
At the upcoming November 21st City Council meeting, we urge you and your
staff to address our concerns, explore solutions, and take action.
Sincerely,
e

1995 Capital Budget
Release of Funds - part 2
At its meeting on November 7, 1995, the Board of Trustees voted to send the capital
items on the attached page to the City Council for the release of funds. All of the items
were requested by the library and approved by the Council in our 1995 budget request.
All of the items are for the amount originally requested with the exception of the
telephone system (see note below). This is the second and final portion of our 1995
Capital Budget.
Attic Drainage Pan $2000
The existing sheet metal drainage pan which collects water that has condensed on
heat ducts in the attic is to be extended, directing the water to a drain. This
replaces the complex system of buckets and dish pans in the attic.
Reference Office Computer $2966
This computer replaces an aging and unreliable office computer. It also includes
a software package and CD ROM capability for preview and possible public usage
of reference tools.
Typewriter 350
This typewriter is designated for the Circulation Desk for quick, light typing of
labels and forms.
Telephone System. $8062.
AT&T was the low bidder on a system that would provide automatic attendant and
voice mail for more efficient staff usage. This system was recomrriended by What
to Buy for Business and promises the most efficient operating cost of the three
systems examined.
· The amount budgeted for a telephone system was $7600. This AT&T bid was the low
bid of the three systems we examined. The Library will not be purchasing an item in its
approved 1995 capital budget (electronic notification system) that was estimated at
$2400.

Dear Ms. Wetli:

November 6, 1995
e'
On Friday, October 27 CLIMB Theatre presented the play, "Grounded," at Bayport
Elementary School where I am Principal. The presentation was made to students in
Grades K- 6.
The staff and I felt that the play was very well done, the actors did an excellent job of
performing, the information that was given through this play about the use and
misuse of alcohol and other drugs was very beneficial for our students. Even
though we had a large grade span who viewed the play, all the children were very
intent on the production and seemed to be receiving the strong messages which
were given through the play and through the actors.
This play was presented as the culmination to our Red Ribbon Week observance. It
was an excellent follow-up to the instruction that the teachers had done during the
week regarding choices that children will make concerning the use of chemicals.
Thank you for offering such high quality productions to our schools.

RE: Lot 1, Block 1, Deerpath Addition, stillwater
Gentlemen:
I am writing to formally put the city of stillwater and
Washington County on notice that Marcia Kilbourne intends to make
a claim against the City for an amount in excess of $35,000.00 for
damages resulting from her purchase of Lot 1, Block 1, Deerpath
Addition, stillwater.
Ms. Kilbourne intends to claim damages under various common
laws; statutory and constitutional theories, inclUding but not
limited to negligence and nuisance, and various federal and state
environmental statutes.
The basis for the claim is that the City operated a municipal
dump on the property and specifically assured her in writing that
the lot was a buildable lot.
e
Ms. Kilbourne had intended to develop a single family home on
the site and when digging the foundation discovered the underlying
garbage dump. wi thout significant environmental testing and
abatement, Ms. Kilbourne could not build on the site. She lost
money on the materials she purchased for construction and various
fees for professional services such as surveying, engineering and
architectural fees. Additionally, because she had invested her
working capi tal into the proj ect, she lost the opportuni ty to
profit on the house and her ability to finance future projects.

waste of time. He also asked about green space, traffic, and the effect of development on

any type of annexation.
Mike Anderson, 1312 South 4th Street, asked if the Rural Taxing District was included in the
Fiscal Impact Study.
Tim Sinclair, 14411 Dellwood Road, stated that Stillwater is historic, and the plan will double

Dan Herbst, Pemtom Land Company, commended the Planning Commission and encouraged the

David Francis, 11080 Penfield Avenue, Town Board Chairman, stated that there is a lack of
sensitivity on the part of the commission; annexation is a hostile takeover; he requested that the
City and Township resume dialog regarding density, commercial sites, and assessment policy.
David Ruch, 1124 Nightengale, stated that as a City resident, he is not clear on why the City
wants to annex land; what are the benefits?
Barbara Chase, 7759 Minor Avenue North, stated she is concerned about the school system.
Marc Putman, Charles Cudd Co., stated that high-quality housing is planned for the Newman
homestead, and will have an effect on the local economy.

because of the opposition of the Town of Stillwater Board of Supervisors that was expressed at the
hearing, the Council ordered that additional information be developed on the impact of the plan on the
existing City and a detailed fiscal analysis was therefore prepared to determine the cost of future
development and methods of allocating expenses connected with development and this information has
been incorporated into the plan; and,
WHEREAS, the process of developing the plan has been exhaustive, lengthy and painstaking and
all available, reasonable information has been collected and analyzed and the plan as presented in its
present form represents the best efforts of the community and the best plan for regulating City growth
for the next twenty (20) years; and,
WHEREAS, on November 15, 1995, the Planning Commission held the public hearing required
by Minnesota Statute ~462.355 after giving the notice required by law; and,
NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF STILL WATER,
MINNESOTA, HEREBY RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
1. That the comprehensive plan presented and considered by the Planning Commission on
November 15, 1995, is hereby approved by the Planning Commission and recommended to the City
Council of the City of Stillwater for adoption along with the following recommendations:
1.1 That all of the property bounded by TH 36 on the South, Manning Avenue to the
West and TH 96 to the North except for the property East of Stonebridge Trail that is
North of the railroad right of way be annexed to the City at the present time and the
growth phased in this area over the planning period.
"
.
1.2 That the City Council adopt by ordinance a formula for the Rural Taxing
District of the City that would result in a percentage of net tax capacity for newly annexed ~
areas of the City that would, in the year of annexation, closely approximate the percentage
of net tax capacity that these property owners pay at the Township rate (16.695% for pay
1996) and that the percentage of net tax capacity be increased in yearly increments over
five (5) years to gradually reach the percentage of net tax capacity currently in effect
for the City's Rural Taxing District (30.12% for pay 1996). Further, that the Council
direct staff to prepare a study of the impact of the Rural Taxing District on the fiscal
analysis done earlier by Tautges and Associates.
1.3 That the City Council adopt a policy that would require a feasibility report with
regard to any public improvement, with appraisal evidence with regard to the impact of
any assessments on a property not requesting or participating in the improvement process
with an emphasis on the impact on already developed, large rural residential parcels and
that reasonable accommodations be made to any owners that would suffer hardship by
reason of the improvements or the burden of any resulting assessments.
1.4 That the City Council adopt zoning restrictions for the newly annexed area that
would legitimize rural unserviced residential parcels of 2 lh acres and larger but that
would prohibit the further subdivision of these parcels unless platted and prohibit the
further subdivision of any large tracks unless utilities are extended to the area and the
property platted and developed into an urban density.
Enacted by the Planning Commission of the City of Stillwater this 15th day of November, 1995.

Re: Industrial Development Revenue Refunding Bonds (SUPERV ALUE, INC. Project), Series 1994
City of Stillwater, Minnesota
Dear Ladies/Gentlemen:
I have examined the Amended Indenture of Trust and Loan Agreement relating to the Series 1994
bonds that were sent to me on November 15, 1995, by Alison Humphrey of the Dorsey firm.
These bonds continue to be "conduit" or non-recourse bonds of the City and do not constitute
indebtedness of the City within the meaning of any law. The language of the instruments provide that
they will never constitute or give rise to any pecuniary liability of the City or be charged against this
general credit or taxing powers.
Accordingly, I would recommend that the City Council approve these documents at Tuesday's
meeting.
Yours very truly,
~

Re: Industrial Development Revenue Refunding Bonds
(SUPERV ALU INC. Project), Series 1994
City of Stillwater, Minnesota
Dear Ms. Deblon:
As you may recall, last year the City of Stillwater issued bonds on behalf
of SUPERV ALU INC. (the "Series 1994 Bonds") for the purpose of refunding some
outstanding bonds that were issued by the City in 1984 to finance the construction of
a retail grocery store. The Series 1994 Bonds were issued as variable rate bonds
secured solely by the credit of SUPERV ALU. In addition, SUPERV ALU has
maintained a standby letter of credit for the benefit of the Series 1994 Bondholders.
Last spring SUPERV ALU's rating was lowered by Moody' Investors
Service with the result that SUPERVALU is currently rated "A3/A-2" by Moody's
Investors Service and "BBB+/P-2" by Standard & Poor's. In order to increase the
marketability of the Series 1994 Bonds, SUPERV ALU would now like to amend the
documents relating to the Series 1994 Bonds to add a direct-pay letter of credit. This
structure would provide additional security for the Bondholders since the Series
1994 Bonds would be secured by both the credit of SUPERV ALU and the credit of the
bank issuing the letter of credit. It is contemplated that the letter of credit would be
provided by Wachovia Bank of Georgia, National Association, a bank that is
currently rated "Aa2/VMIG-1" by Moody's and "AA+/ A1+" by Standard & Poor's.
e
Last week Lynne Harrington of Piper Jaffray Inc., the bond underwriter,
spoke with Nile Kriesel about SUPERV ALU's request that the City Council consider
approving amendments to the Indenture of Trust and Loan Agreement relating to
DORSEY & WHITNEY
P'RO]PESSIONAL LUUTED LIABILITY PA'Rnl'ERSIIIP
Ms. Diane Deblon

the Series 1994 Bonds to add the direct-pay letter of credit. We were instructed to
send you and the City Attorney drafts of the documents along with a form of
resolution to be considered by the City Council at its meeting on November 21st.
Therefore, I have enclosed for your review, an Amended and Restated Indenture of
Trust and an Amended and Restated Loan Agreement which contain the
amendments necessary to add the direct-pay letter of credit. These documents have
been marked to show the changes made from the Indenture of Trust and Loan
Agreement that were originally executed by the City in September of 1994 so that
you can easily identify the proposed amendments. I have also enclosed a form of
resolution to be considered by the City Council and a draft of the Letter of Credit
Reimbursement and Security Agreement that SUPERV ALU intends to enter into
with Wachovia Bank pursuant to which Wachovia Bank will provide the letter of
credit to secure the Series 1994 Bonds.
As you can see from the draft documents, no changes have been made
to the City's obligations with respect to the Series 1994 Bonds. The Series 1994 Bonds
continue to be limited obligations of the City and do not constitute an indebtedness
the City within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory limitation and do not
constitute or give rise to a pecuniary liability of the City or a charge against its
general credit or taxing powers.
Please feel free to call me if you have any questions or concerns about
the documents or the resolution. We are grateful to you and the City Council for
your willingness to review the proposed amendments and would be happy to
provide you with any additional information that you need to assist you in that
process.
Very truly yours,

Stillwater, MN 55082-4802
Dear Mayor Kimball:
On behalf of the River Valley Arts Council (RV AC), we are pleased to submit this
request to the City of Stillwater for $2,500 in general operating support. Weare
thankful for this opportunity to present this comprehensive introduction ofRV AC to
you and.ask for your thoughtful consideration of this request aswe look to broaden
our base of fmancial support in the :community~ . .
River Valley Arts Council is aco:nllnumty based, volunteer operated,
multi-disciplinary arts organization that serves the St. Croix Valley and eastern
Washington County: Founded in 1993, RV ACwas created in response to the need
for an organized approach to nUrture. and build a solid, vital, and accessible arts
network and arts programming that would serve the entire community of the St.
Croix Valley. 1995 finds RV AC in a position of growth and planning for the
future; the enclosed Case for Support recaps the fl,fst three years and outlines how the
organization is working with the commUnity on progralIls and services in the year
ahead. -: '. ';'" .... .... .... ,'. .",
Support from the City of Stillwater will be an important addition to the constituents
of community members, foundations and businesses in our area that support RV AC.
RV AC is truly a grassroots local arts agency and we believe that the community
must support our own artists, involve people in our own community, and encourage
participation in the arts for everyone where they live. Three compellling reasons that
the City of Stillwater should support RVAC include: .
1. Financial support ofthe arts from State and Federal funds is nearly non-
existent in Washington County. Washington County was not served by state or
federal funds until two years ago when the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council
began its re-grating program; in total, less that 1% of state arts money has been
allocated to the entire County. Regarding private contributions from corporations
and foundations, even though the Twin Cities is known nationally for its strong
philanthropic support of the arts, rarely do the major art contributors fund
organizations outside the Twin Cities. All corporate and foundation support received
by RV AC is from organizations in the area.
2. Artistically - The Washington County area is home to a large number of artists, many with regional
and national reputations, who report long residency in the area; a survey conducted in 1992 estimated that
approximately 180 artists lived and worked in the area, with approximately 60 considering themselves
professional artists. Artists are not being served by resources available in the Twin Cities and need to look
to their peers and resources in our community for support. RV AC programs work to serve artists through
sponsoring networking programs for artists and through printed materials, such as the quarterly Arts
Update Newsletter and the Arts Directory.
~
3. Geographically, Washington County is 60 miles long and for many residents this distance presents a
barrier to traveling into the Twin Cities for arts experiences. We need to create a sense of our own artistic
community; one where we can make the arts a part of our daily lives, not something that requires a special
trip out of town and into the Twin Cities. Another challenge unique to our vast service area is the fact that
there is not one deftnitive information source that serves artists, arts groups and members of the
community when they are looking to participate in the arts in our community.
RV AC is a central arts agency which exists to serve as the catalyst for the community to realize it's
inherent historic and contemporary cultural vitality and significance. RV AC is now an established
mechanism for organized arts advocacy and artistic opportunity in the Valley. It is estimated that 7,295
people have directly participated in RV AC programs during 1995. Community participation ranges from
seniors in our writing series to an RV AC program in Independent School District 834 where we provide
art education for students by artists from the area (see Artists as Neighbors on page two of the Case for
Support).
In addition to the Case for Support, enclosed for your information is RV AC's 1994 Annual Report, budget
information, a list of the Board of Directors, as well as a sampling of our printed materials. As you review
the proposal and support materials, please call Vice Chair Molly LaBerge directly (436-8906) if you have
questions about RV AC or any of our programs.
A general operations gift of $2,500 will be a meaningful contribution to R V AC and will support existing
programs and it will be a wise investment into R V AC's future. The long tenn beneftts of a culturally
wealthy community are deep and vast; RV AC is serving Stillwater and surrounding areas as the conduit to
organize, network and communicate the arts in our community, now and into the future. Thank you for
your thoughtful consideration of this request and we hope that we can count on your support.
Suz Brown
RV AC Board Member & President of
Firstar Bank of Minnesota, Stillwater Office
P.S. Please keep RV AC in mind as a resource for you and your staff at City Hall! Collaborations and
partnerships are our forte and we would enjoy working with the community in yet another way.

e RIVER VALLEY ARTS COUNCIL - CASE FOR SUPPORT
-+ SUMMARY OF REQUEST
In working with the community, it is quite evident that the need for quality arts activities in the St. Croix
Valley and eastern Washington County area is only partially met by the arts organizations in the Twin
Cities. The Valley is rich with artistic talent looking for ways to work with the community and with
community members searching for opportunities to incorporate the arts into their lives. The Valley
reflects an underserved audience where t'1e resources exist but the organization to present, produce and
market does not. River Valley Arts Council (RV AC) will continue to serve this constituency and work
with them. Financial support from the community is a necessity for the next phase of growth in RV AC's
history and we invite you to be a part of our exciting future!
R V AC is a community based, volunteer operated, multi-disciplinary arts organization that serves the St.
Croix Valley and eastern Washington County. Founded in 1993, RV AC was created in response to the
need for an organized approach to nurture and build a solid, vital, and accessible arts network and arts
programming that unites artistic efforts and serves artists and residents alike in the many communities of
the St. Croix Valley.
-+ ORGANIZATIONAL HISTORY
The need for an arts council emerged from a comprehensive Task Force study and report of June 1992 that
was underwritten by the Saint Paul Foundation. The Task Force was comprised of area artists, business
leaders, government officials, representatives from the philanthropic community and concerned citizens,
all of whom met to assess the artistic needs of the St. Croix Valley. Conclusions from this needs
assessment found great community support and need for an art organization such as R V AC.
RV AC is a central arts agency which exists to serve as the catalyst for the St. Croix Valley and eastern
Washington County to realize it's inherent historic and contemporary cultural vitality and significance.
With more than 400 members to date, and a mailing list of more than 2,000, RV AC is an established
mechanism for organized arts advocacy and artistic opportunity in the Valley. RV AC is now an
established mechanism for organized arts advocacy and artistic/programmatic opportunity in the Valley.
The beginning phase of RV AC is nearly complete: the organizational base is well established; an effective
administrative and board structure with sound fiscal management; and, a base of more than 400 RV AC
members support the organizations efforts. The volunteer Board consists of 15 members-comprised of
artists, business people, arts advocates and community members-and is organized in a sub-committee
structure that encompasses our internal operations and our external public programs. The five standing
sub-committees of the Board are: Finance and Development, Programs, Marketing, Facilities, and
Membership & Volunteers; each committee is chaired by a board member and includes community
members in addition to other members of the board.

-+ CURRENT PROGRAMS AND SERVICES FOR THE COMMUNlTf
RVAC works with the community to plan innovative programs that are responsive to community needs;
higWights of 1995 activities and programs include:
o The Artists Networking Series
This program was designed to fill the tremendous need voiced by artists to provide a network for
professional growth and support to artists that live in the community. This informal focus group
presents the opportunity for artists to discuss their work. lend support to each other, and propose
various projects, ideas and collaborations within the community. In 1995, R V AC board members
hosted four of these focus groups in their homes; with more than 45 artists participating, it was a
tremendous way for artists to express how RVAC could best serve their needs. With such positive
response, the Artists Networking Series will continue in 1996 with four focus groups planned,
with guest speakers to facilitate the discussion.
o Artists as Neighbors
RV AC and Stillwater School District 834 collaborated to present a unique program that brought
artists from the area into the classroom: Artists as Neighbors. More than 1,000 elementary school
students participated in this program where nineteen artists from the St. Croix Valley conducted
full-day classroom art education experiences. Although each presentation was wonderfully
unique, generally it began with a discussion led by the artist about their an work. their career as an
artist. This was followed by an art demonstration and then the hands-on art activity designed by
the artist for the students. The program culminated in two all-school art exhibitions attended by
more than 2,100 people.
o RVAC awarded 17 grants totalling $14,850 for arts activities in the Valley.
RVAC directed the County Arts Re-granting Program (CARP) in partnership with the
Metropolitan Regional Arts Council (MRAC). RV AC orchestrated the review process and
established the criteria for which dozens of proposals were considered for funding. Seventeen
projects were awarded that served the broad cross-section of our community; the list of 1995 grant
recipients is attached. Stellar examples of the re-granting program recipients are:
-+ Big Woods/Big Plains received support for the demonstration, performance, and
teaching of Native American arts and crafts at the Big WoodslBig Plains Seminar.
-+ The St. Croix Teen Center was awarded a grant for the painting of a mural at Graffiti
Teen center by students drawn from the art classes of local schools.
-+ With a grant through RV AC, Stillwater Public Library will conduct a memoir writing
class for women over the age of 55 recalling twentieth century life in Stillwater and the St.
Croix Valley.
-.
Courage St. Croix received suppon for eight weeks of an classes for chHdren with
physical disabilities, sensory impairments, and able-bodied peers or siblings. A large silk
painting produced by the class will be installed at Courage St. Croix.

St. Croix Valley Chamber Chorale was a grant recipient for the production of Love
Under the Lights, a cabaret style performance by the Valley Chamber Chorale and a
professional jazz quartet.
o Arts Update
The initial needs assessment from the 1992 Task Force Report demonstrated that one of the
strongest artistic needs of the St. Croix Valley community was for stronger communication and
visibility of existing programs. Arts Update is R V AC's quarterly newsletter that spotlights area
artists, grant making programs, cultural activities/programs in the area, etc.; it includes a pull-out
community arts calendar listing all cultural activities. taking place in the Valley.
The newsletter is the only information source for artists in the area. It not only provides up-to-date
news in the community on cultural activity in the area. it also provides a resource to the artist-rich
community that looks for ways to work with the community and to community members
searching for opportunities to incorporate the arts into their lives. Isolated from their peers in
several ways, the newsletter is desperately needed to continue to bring artists together and to help
establish the arts in our own community.
o The Arts Directory
F or the first time ever, a directory has been produced that lists area artists and all cultural and arts
organizations in the area, providing a tremendous resource for artists and members of the
community as people look to access the arts. R V AC has compiled this mechanism for
communication and networking purposes, which has helped to nurture a positive environment for
the arts and the artists in our community.
o Visions of the Valley
This memorable annual art festival, exhibition and auction is entering its fourth year. All work in
the exhibition is donated by artists from the region. Showcasing the work of artists from the
Valley, this event also serves as a fund raising activity for RV AC.
Recently, we estimated that 7,295 people have directly participated in RV AC programs during 1995.
Community participation ranges from students in our art education programs to seniors in our writing
series. In addition to our 400 person membership base, other community support is provided by a number
of local corporations, foundations, and area governmental agencies and businesses.
-. PLANNING FOR 1l-tE FUTURE
R V AC has reached the next phase in its development. The Board has evaluated past activities and now
looks to strengthen our service to the community. As a community-based organization, RVAC needs
broad-based community support to thrive and grow as we look to 1996 and beyond. The Board has
established four priorities as the organization looks to the future, they are:
e
RVAC 0 CASE FOR SUPPORT 0 PAOE FOUR
e
1. To strengthen our communications. we need professional advice to consistently reach a broader
audience and to connect with and better serve artists. Currently our print-run of community calendars
and the Arts Update is at 2,000. We would like to increase this number and build our database of
interested community members. Furthermore, involving artists in program planning and general
operations of R V AC is a priority. As R V AC plans for the future, continued community involvement is
pivotal to remain true to the communities needs. For this to happen, we need to increase our
communications effort for current and future programs.
2. Realizing broad-based community support demands that we strengthen our membership program.
Although we are happy with our membership effort to date, membership acquisition campaigns are
necessary to continue spreading the wor<;t about our programs while creating earned income to support
existing and future programs for the community.
3. To build on our Metropolitan Regional Arts Council experience, we will initiate R V At:; sponsored.
community-based pilot pro~ams. To date, RVAC has partnered with numerous organizations to
present quality artistic programs to the community. RV AC is planning two pilot programs for 1996
that respond to community need: an artist residency program and a grant-making program for
individual artists in the area.
4. Professional assistance in establishing an arts facility. RV AC needs a consultant who has experience in
assessing the facility needs of an arts organization. Currently, the Facilities Board sub-committee is in
place, but has no professional direction. The Task Force Report of 1992 highlighted the need for a
centralized location for arts activities to take place; the R V AC Board has identified this as a future
objective.
Recent successes have reinforced community support of R V AC:
o Impressed with RVAC's direction of the grant program, MRAC has made $28,000 available for this
same collaboration for 1996; this is double the amount awarded in 1995.
o An administrative office has been established, thus centering the base of R V AC operations.
o A survey has been sent to artists and current R V AC members to access their opinions on what they
need from the organization.
o Artists as Neighbors was so successful last year that RV AC received a grant from United Arts to offer
the program again for the 1996 academic school year. Teacher workshops is a new component of the
program that responds to teachers requesting art education instruction to better serve their students.
-. SUMMARY AND REQUEST
The list of accomplishments in RV AC's three years of existence demonstrates effective and efficient leadership
and reflects the community support that wants and needs its existence. What we have learned during these past
three years is that the Task Force study of 1992 properly assessed the artistic needs for the St. Croix Valley. In
1995, the need is even more evident than before, because through the work of the River Valley Arts Council,
we are now in communication with members of our community. Through listening and collaboration, RV AC
is able to articulate and identify the need and respond to it through our programs and services for the
community.
e
On behalf of the Board and members of the River Valley Arts Council, we thank you for your thoughtful
consideration of this request and we look forward to your support of this vital, growing organization!

on the subject property. The stipulation also allows the City to establish a hook-up charge to recover
the costs of the related improvement. In the event the property is developed the owner would have to
pay the hool"Up charge when the building permit is issued (plus any interest which could be added
each year to the unpaid balance). This is a favorable settlement for the City as well as the property
owner.
In order to comply with the settlement I would recommend that the City Cormcil: adopt a resolution
canceling the assessments, establishing a hook-up charge and requesting that the Cormty abate the
assessments which were spread by the Cormty in 1994 and payable in 1995. I would further
recommend that the Council establish an interest rate of 10 % to be added to the hookup charge each
year (this is consistent with City policy for other hookup charges).

November 10, 1995
Mayor Jay Kimble
City of Stillwater
216 North 4th Street
Stillwater, MN 55082
Dear Mayor Kimble,
We write to you with our concerns over the course of action that
the City Council has taken towards the adoption of an updated
Comprehensive Plan. . These actions stand to put us on a collision
course with respect to the implementation of the Comprehensive
Plan. History should teach us that battling out our differences
before the Municipal Board is not in the best interests of either
of our communities.
Our involvement in the Stillwater comprehensive planning process
had us feeling welcomed, able to contribute numerous suggestions
and ideas and also able to hear and better understand many of.the
problems and challenges that the City is faced with. We found
that there were many more areas of agreement than disagreement.
Our public statement, dated April 25th 1995 in opposition to the
then proposed plan was intended to communicate that we were not
in agreement, due to some specific concerns, but in no way were we
intending to stop discussions.
We would like to suggest a different course of action, that being
a negotiated settlement that would have both communities agreeing
on the development plan for the future. While this suggested
approach may cause us to consider some considerable compromises in
what our plans for the area might be, we feel that it is worth the
effort to try. Skeptics among the Council members may interpret
this action as yet another time delaying tactic. This is not the
case at all. We are not asking for any interruption to the
current schedule of comprehensive plan review and public hearing,
our suggestion is to work on an agreement at the same time. Two

FROM:
DATE:
November 8, 1995
RE:
Assessment Issues for Annexation Area
There could be three (3) distinctly different assessments that have the potential to burden already
developed residential property annexed to the City.
The.Yr.s1Js for core charges for trunk, sewer and water mains, lift stations, water towers and other
utilities that benefit a large area. The City must establish a policy for the assessment of these core
facilities. They are normally collected either through an area wide assessment that would be levied by
the acre or through collection of hook-up charges that would be paid when anyone hooks into the system.
The Engineer has estimated a cost of $5,518 per acre for core water and sewer core facilities.
A secoJld type of assessment could result from drainage or street improvements, since these types of
improvements have been assessed on an area basis based upon the square footage of land that an owner
contributes to a watershed area or the frontage on a street. These systems are av.ailable and used by
everyone and do not lend themselves to financing through connection charges. A policy must be
established for the spreading of these kinds of assessments in the annexation area. The Engineer has
estimated a cost of $4,800 per acre for storm sewer core facilities.
The third kind of assessment are those that would be spread for the provision of services for both sewer
and water. These assessments have normally been levied against abutting owners based upon the
availability of the utilities. In addition to charges for the availability of the system, additional private
expenses are required when anyone hooks into the City system. That cost is the property owner's
responsibility from the property line to the house. A policy should be established for the annexation area
that would deal with service availability charges and private connection charges since all of these charges
could potentially be burdensome to any property owner.

STILLWATER CITY COUNCIL REPORT
Status of Federal and State Governmental Issues Affecting the City
November 21,1995
Reauthorization and Actions Related to the Levee Project:
* The Senate Bill and Committee Report have been completed re-authorizing the
Stillwater Levee Project for $11.6 million. Senator Warner, Chairman, and
Senator Baucus, Ranking, have agreed to an amendment to modify the
provision limiting the study to the flood wall phase of the project.
* Both Chairman Boelhert and Ranking Member Borski have indicated their
intent to get the Water Resources Development Bill on the floor for action early
in the Spring of 1996. Hearings will begin in late January or February
depending on the plans of the leadership. I intend for the Stillwater
authorization to be in the House bill as well.
* We will be requesting a Federal appropriation in the FY 1997 bill of
approximately $2.2 million which will provide the necessary funds to complete
Phase II of the project, Le., the extension of the levee to the North of the
existing levee wall system, around Mulberry Point.
* The City will be meeting with the Corps of Engineers to review and comment
on the Project Cooperation Agreement on November 29th. This is the final
major step for the City before the construction bids are advertised.
* Marsha Risch got married, pregnant, quit the Corps and moved to New Mexico,
(in that order, I think.) Tom Crump of the Corps' Planning Division is our new
project director. He is very knowledgeable and a good person with whom to
work.

Washington, D.C. Meetings and Contacts:
* The D.C. meetings of Mayor Kimble, City Coordinator Nile Kriesel and Ed Cain
were very useful, productive, and emphasized the importance of the Stillwater
projects that will be before Congress in 1996. Meetings and contacts included
the following:
- Senator Rod Grams and staff.
- Senator Paul Wellstone and staff.
- Representative Bill Luther.
- Headquarters Officials of five Divisions of the Army Corps of Engineers.
- Representative David Minge and staff.
- Congressman Sabo staff.
- Governor's staff in the Minnesota Washington, D.C. Office.
- The House Water Resources and Environment Committee staff.
- Senate Energy and Water Appropriations Subcommittee staff.
- Four State Legislators in Washington for meetings who are also on
the State Bonding Committees.
The meetings addressed the subjects of both the authorization and
appropriations related to the Stillwater Levee Project and the proposed Stillwater
armory. In each of the meetings, requests were made for specific assistance regarding
the projects. The response from all parties was encouraging. We have much follow up
to do in regard to written support focusing on the authorizing and appropriation
committees.
