DRAFT
AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF STILLWATER
AND THE TOWN OF STILLWATER FOR GROWTH MANAGEMENT1
ORDERY.. Y ANNEXATION AND THE EXERCISE OF JOINT POWERS
FOR PLANNING AND LA.:"Ll USE CONTROL
THIS AGREEMENT is made chis day of , 1996, ("Effective
Date") between the City of Stillwater, Washington County, Minnesota ("City") and the Town
of Stillwater, Washington County, Minnesota ("Townn) and is an agreement relating to
growth management and constitutes a "Joint Resolution" between the City and Town
authorized by Minnesota Statutes ~414.0325 providing for a procedure and a framework for
orderly annexation of a part of the Town to the City. This Agreement also provides for the
joint exercise by the City and Town of their respective planning and land use control
authority pursuant to Minn. Stat. 471.59 and Minn. Stat. 414.0325 (Subd. 5).
SECTION ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.01 Certain land owners within the Town have petitioned the City for annexation and for
the extension of municipal utilities. Since receiving the petition, the City has
undertaken a review of its Comprehensive Plan and has studied the ability of the City
to provide services to the area and has concluded that if the area requesting services is
developed into urban uses the City would ultimately be benefited by a broadened tax
base and a more vital community and that urban growth in the annexation area would
benefit the City. The Town has participated in a review of the City's Comprehensive
Plan and has concluded that it would be beneficial to the Town, and to property
owners remaining in the Town after annexation, to enter this Agreement with the City
so that the area to be annexed will be developed in an orderly fashion and with the
least possible impact on the people of the Town.
SECTION TWO
ORDERLY ANNEXATION AREA
Ie
2.01 The property described in Exhibit "A" chat is subject to annexation by the City
pursuant to this Agreement will constitute the "Orderly Annexation Area". This area
includes all that area of the Town not now within the City that lies North of Highway
36. East of County Road 15 and South of Highway 96. except for that portion of the
Town that lies Nonh of the right-or-way of the Minnesota Zephyr Track and East of
the Oak Glen development. The Orderly Annexation Area is designated as in need of
orderly aIll1exation and no consideration by the Minnesota Municipal Board is
necessary, no alteration of the boundaries is appropriate, and aU conditions of
annexation have been provided for in this Resolution and the Minnesota Municipal
Board may review and comment only and within thirty (30) days of receipt of this
Resolution and each subsequent phase as described in this Agreement upon the filing
of a Resolution as described in this Agreement.

SECTION THREE
PHASING SCHEDULE
e
3.01 The Town and City agree that phasing the growth envisioned for the annexation area
would benefit the City by reducing the fmancial risk of extending core facilities into
the Orderly Annexation Area by extending such facilities gradually rather than at one
time. This would also allow for the burden imposed by the growth to be gradually
born by the City so that the level of services needed by the new development could be
supplied on a gradual and phased basis. The Town has agreed that a phased
development plan as envisioned by this Agreement would benefit the Town by
phasing the impact of lost tax base on the remaining Town govcrmncnt and easing
financial and lifestyle burdens that an immediate annexation of the entire area would
impose on Town residents. For the purposes of this Agreement, the Orderly
Annexation Area will be divided into four (4) phases described as follows:
Phase. r Description
3.02 Phase I contains that property described in Exhibit "B ". generally described as that
part of the Town that is South of County Road 12, East of County Road 15 and North

property unless Annexation is requested by the property owner.pursuant to Section
4.08 herein:

facilities. laterals and other public costs associated with rhe installation of and hook-up
to the system.
f. Property which is not being subdivided will not be assessed for the cost of
street improvements necessitated by development occurring within the orderly
annexation area. However, if the improved street was substandard before the
itnprovement, the property may be assessed an amount equal to the assessment that

to the annexation of Phase One. The property may be subject to additional deferred
assessments payable if and when the property is subdivided.
g. If a property h~oks up to City sewer or water it will be charged for one hook-

percent for the calendar year 1996, and the Town's existing percent of tax capacity
rate of .17 percent and that to require property that is brought into the City against
the wishes of a property. owner to pay the full municipal rale would be burdensome.

municipal sewer or water services.

City Urban Service District rate.

annexation, the initial rural service tax rate in the year of annexation will be Fifty
percent (50%) of the urban rate, with the percentage being increased five percent
(5%) each year to the seventy-five percent (75%) rural service rate.
7.02 Tax Payment to Town. During the term of this Agreement. taxes received by the
City based upon the tax capacity generated from any area annexed in the year of
annex.ation will be paid over to the Town and thereafter the amount to be paid to the
Town will be reduced by twenty percc:nt (20%) each year until the amount reaches
zero (0). when taxes based upon the full tax capacity will remain with the City. For
the purpose of this section, any increase in tax capacity over the tax capacity
generated in the year of annexation will remain with the City. tit

organizational meeting, as well as other individuals who have indicated they would like
to be on the task force. Some of the people listed who weren't at the February 13th
meeting had indicated their interest at the February 7 informational meeting. Others
were not able to attend either of the meetings but would like to be involved. Several
local units of government have named representatives. Since the intent of the task
force is to ensure broad representation of riverway interests in development of the
updated management plan, these individuals are welcome to join the task force if they
are able to commit the time required for meetings and work sessions. We would like
to maintain this open approach to membership. If, down the line, we find the group
size unworkable, we can revisit the subject of representation.
2. A Schedule of Activities for the Week of April 8.
A majority of you who were present at the February 13 organizational meeting
indicated a preference for meeting during the daytime. Thus, the week has been
scheduled so that the Task Force, along with the Interagency Planning Team, will
work during the daytime. At the day-time work sessions, we will refine information
gathered at several evening public forums and begin to shape elements of the
management plan. The enclosed schedule provides more detailed information on each
day's activities.

We know that not all of you will be able to attend each public forum and task
force w~e$sion. However, we hope you will be present during all task force work
sessions. Y ou-~and the public--will benefit from your participation in the evening Open
Houses as well as the day~time work sessions. You'll have opportunity to discuss the
week's schedule at the task force meeting at 5:00 p.m. Monday, April 8. At that time,
we can make some adjustments, if desired, as long as changes would not require
rescheduling public open houses.
Thanks to all of you for your willingness to commit time to the task force and
for your patience with our start-up. The National Park Service, the Minnesota and
Wisconsin Departments of Natural Resources and the Minnesota-Wisconsin Boundary
Area Commission are committed to developing the updated management plan with the
help of the landowners, recreationists, businesses, towns, counties, townships,
conservation groups and others interested in and affected by management of the
Lower St. Croix. Deveioping a plan in this manner requires time for up-front
coordination and organization, but we're confident it will result in the best possible
product. The "real work" of the task force will begin during the week of April 8.
We look forward to seeing you in April and to getting going as a group. In the
meantime, please phone Kate if you have questions or suggestions: 612-439-7122.
We will be getting out news releases and invitations for the Public Open Houses on
April 8 and April 10. Please also help spread the word to your neighbors and
organizations.

TO: Mayor and City Council
FR: Nile Kriesel, City Coordinator
DA: April 1, 1996
RE: DONATION OF CITY OWNED FLAGS TO AREA SCHOOLS
Accompanying this memo is some correspondence between John Kraemer and Dr.
Chuck Briscoe, Principal of Stillwater Area High School, in regard to the placement of
US flags (20" x 30") at the high school. These are the smaller flags that were used in
the downtown area (the City now has the larger flags that are used in the downtown
area). Mr. Kraemer is requesting that the City donate the flags to be used per the
attached correspondence.
I think this would a good use of the flags which have been stored at City Hall for the
past three to four years and will probably not be used for any other purpose.

Dear Mr. Mayor and City Council Members:
Subject: U.S. Flags ( 20"x30" size)-City of Stillwater Owned and Previously Displayed
Reference: Stillwater Area High School Letter of Response (March 27, 1996) to Letter
of Inquiry (March 21, 1996)
It is requested that the City of Stillwater consider the donation of the referenced small
size U.S. flags to the Stillwater Area Senior High School for classroom display. The
Stillwater Area High School has acknowledged a willingness to receive the donation
of flags, a donation that would be supplemented by anticipated contributions from
area service organizations for the purchase of additional flags as well as flag poles
and brackets.
.
There are approximately 60 of the smaller size U.S. flags previously displayed
downtown Stillwater ( replaced by larger 3'x5' flags) that are still of suitable condition
for display. The balance of smalle~.r size city 9wnedJJC!gs (40+ flags) are either badly
faded, torn, or soiled and no longer suitable for display. Since the smaller sized flags
of suitable condition are not being used and may never again be used by the city for
display, the City of Stillwater's donation of flags to the Stillwater Area High School
would allow for the continued display and meaningful use of the flags.
Thank you for your consideration.

Dr. Briscoe
Principal
Stillwater Senior High School
5701 Stillwater Blvd. North
Stillwater, MN 55082
Dear Dr. Briscoe:
Subject: Proposed Contribution of Flags for the Senior High School
Classrooms
In followup to my more recent voice mail message, I wish to provide added detail
related to the proposed contibution of a quantity (approximately 60) U. S. flags (size
201x30") owned by the City of Stillwater ( previously displayed downtown Stillwater)
to the Stillwater Senior High School.
The City of Stillwater has replaced the referenced smaller flag in favor of a larger 3'x5'
flag. If the city's flags would be accepted by the high school for classroom use, the
Mayor and City Counsel would be written requesting consideration of donation of the
flags to the high school.
- - .. .-~---
The city flags that could be donafed have been washed and will be inspected and dry
cleaned before being provided to the high-school.
Local service organizations (Stillwater and Bayport American Legion, Oak Park
Heights Veterans of Foreign Wars and possibly the local chapters of the Elks and
Eagles) would be solicited to participate in funding the additonal flags and the needed
flag poles and mounting brackets to provide a displayed flag in every classroom. (For
your information, quite recently some of referenced organizations provided an outdoor
flag pole and flag for the new high school building ).
Upon confirmation of the high school's willingness to accept the City of Stillwater's
flags and after the City of Stillwater's authorization of donation, the referenced service
organizations would be solicited to provide the funding needed to purchase the
additional flags and the flag poles and brackets for each of the flags. Since the
referenced organizations derive funding from gaming activities, it would be necessary
that the high school provide letters to the participating service organizations to inititate
the request for the flags, flag poles and brackets. Mr. David Swanson, Stillwater
-2-
American Legion Post 48, would be coordinating the funding and acquisition. I will be
available to assist him as needed.
It should be noted that in terms of locating and mounting the flags, protocol dictates the
U.S. flag be to the right of the presenter (teacher) and ahead and to the left of the
audience. Additionally, for flags, flag poles and brackets to be provided and installed,
the questions that need to be addressed are:
- How many classrooms are there that would need flags?
~ Is there wood trim or other appropriate surfaces to mount the flag brackets to?
- Would the high school or school district install the flag brackets?
- Would the high school or school district prefer that service organization volunteers
install the flag brackets?
It is antiicapated that the flags, flag poles and brackets could be acquired within the
next several months for installation over the summer prior to the start of school next
fall.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
~
Yours truly,
~-.

City Coordinator
RE:
Up-date on the Grant Application for Community
Wide Network Project
DA:
April I, 1996
Discussion:
I previously sent you a memo in regards to the Internet Commission's request to submit a grant
application for a $200,000 grant which would have required a match oflocal funds of$100,000.
However, it now appears that it will not be possible to prepare a complete application (with all of
the submittal requirements) by the application deadline. Therefore, the Council will no longer
need to consider their request.
I think the Stillwater Internet Commission should be encouraged to continue their efforts to
development a community wide networking system. They have laid a lot of groundwork for the
system and maybe the City will have another opportunity-to seek state or federal funds for the
development system in the near future.

RE: GERRARD CONDOMINIUM DEVELOPMENT
I am concerned about the size of the proposed 74-unit, 7 -level housing project
proposed for the UBC site. The city height limits allow four stories or 50 ft. buildings.
The proposed building has 8 levels (two levels parking and six levels housing) and is 90
ft. tall as measured from the southeast corner of the US West Building to the top of the
elevator. The design uses brick has some residences along Olive and Second and the
building is broke up into components which is good but I feel what is proposed is too
much for the site. For comparison purposes, the Rivertown Commons building is 70
feet tall. This structure from parking floor to top of elevator is 20 feet taller.
Another concern is for the lack of parking in the area - Grand Garage, Second Street -
and the cost to the city of building a structure over the Olive Street Lot. As estimated,
in reports the costs of a three-level structure is $1.25 million assuming the developer
pays $600,000 for the UBC site this still leaves a gap of $650,000.
As we all know, parking and money for downtown parking improvements is not east to
come by. The city needs to know how the additional 150 spaces will be provided off
site before the UBC site can be sold for development. Even with Olive Street structure
we may need more parking and the UBC site is ideally located for that.
As City Coordinator and Stillwater resident I feel this size of building may be too big to
fit into the downtown and that we should make sure we get an additional 150 spaces
before the UBC site is sold.

ofland purchase and a $400,000 contribution to parking for a structure over the Olive and Second
Street lot. Attached is a letter from Walker Parking Consultants estimating the cost of a 165 space
structure at $1,250,000.
In order for the structure to be constructed according to the estimated cost an additional $650,000
would have to be found possibly through a Downtown Parking District or some other source. (Staff
is currently collecting information to form a district.)
The reason for the City working with UBC and NSP on relocation and cleanup is to provide a
location for 100-150 parking spaces, a long defined need in the Downtown and South Main Street
area particularly.
The 69 unit development is scheduled for review by the Heritage Preservation Commission Monday,
April! regarding consistency of project design with Downtown Design Guidelines and April 8th by
the Planning Commission for height and setback variances.
After the April 8th meeting the project will be brought back to Council with the results from HPC
and CPC reviews.
Regarding the April 2 Council discussion of the project the Council can receive the developers
project update and schedule a follow-up meeting for future review when the HPC and CPC are
completed with their reviews.
Recommendation
Review development information and continue the item for further information and results from
HPC and CPC review.

RE: Parking Structure Cost Estimate
Dear Mr. Gerrard:
We have reviewed the preliminary site plan you provided to Walker Parking Consultants for.a
parking structure to be located in Stillwater. MN'. Based on our review, we have determined that
a three-level parking structure with two supported levels could contain approximately 55 spaces
per level for a total of 165 parking spaces. The estimated construction cost of this parking
structure is approximately $1,250,000 or $7.600 per space. This is based on three flat floors with
vertical circulation being accomplished on the adjoining sloped street. It may be possible to add
an additional 20 spaces to the upper level ofthe parking structure but in order to estimate the
cost. further information "Will be required.
If have any questions or comments regarding our analysis please do not hesitate to contact me.
Respectfully.

TO: Mayor and City Council
FR: Steve Russell, Community Development Director ~
DA: March 28, 1996
RE: PREAPPLlCA TION REQUEST FOR TAX INCREMENT FINANCING
ASSISTANCE FOR MAPLE ISLAND SITE
The City Council has received a preapplication request for tax increment financing from
Tom Bader and Chuck Heidbrink. The preapplication request is enclosed.
The project entails using the renovated Maple Island plant building for a grocery store,
with delicatessen and bakery, hardware store, micro-brewery, offices and space for
three additional small businesses.
In order to accomplish the project, the applicants are requesting "pay as you go" TIF
assistance, the use of a northern section of the Main Street Parking lot and use of the
city owned 10 ft. strip of land just west of Main Street for parking.
The site is located in the scattered site TIF district. No estimate of building value has
been developed to estimate the TIF that would be generated from the project. These
figures can be established if the project proceeds and project uses and plans are
available to estimate project tax value. The proposed uses, community serving
commercial including a hardware store and grocery store, are consistent with polices in
the city comprehensive plan.
At meeting time the developers will present their project for council consideration. The
council did receive a similar TIF request from Main Stream Development Partnership at
your March 19, 1996 meeting.
Recommendation:
Direction to continue working with this developer as well as Main Stream Development
Partnership on project for the Maple Island site.

PRE-APPLICATION FOR
TAX INCREMENT FINANCING ASSISTANCE
e
1. A map showing the exact boundaries of proposed development.
See attached Addendum 1.
2. Give a general description of the project including: size and location of building(s);
business type or use; traffic information including parking, projected vehicle counts and
traffic flow; timing of the project; other pertinent information,
The centerpiece of this project is the Maple Island Building located at 219 North
Main Street, Stillwater, Minnesota. It is a multiple-level stn/cture predominately
built in the late 1930's and overall indicative of that period's Art Deco influence
(which is not readily found in Stillwater). The building is a brick structure
consisting of a storey-and-one-half section to the north, a central two-storey
body, a three-tiered (with mezzanine) office area in the south, and a newer,
storey-and-one-half warehouse structure appended to the southern office area.
The project intends on utilizing the best elements of the structure (brick facade,
Art Deco design elements, glass block windows, multiple-light industrial-style
windows at the rear or river side, stucco surfacing, etc.) and creating a motif that
is carried throughout the individual entities that will be created Additional
external features will include period exterior lighting and strategically placed
awnings at the north and south (warehouse) ends.
The building is approximately 40,000 square feet of former creamery and is
situated along Main Street, near its north end (west or front side) and along
Water Street (east or river side). The intent of the project (Phase I) is to create a
hardware store in the north storey-and-one-half section, a microbrewery and
brewpub in the central two-storey body, office space in the three-tiered southern
area, and a market (grocery, delicatessen, and bakery) in the storey-and-one-half
warehouse structure.
Adequate parking. both private and public appears to surround the project area.
Approximately 30 parking spaces within Maple Island's north end parking lot will
more than suffice for hardware store parking and provide additional evening
parking to the brewpub (and other, Phase II entities, as they develop). Additional
parking in the combination of City easement and Maple Island property along the
river side of the project can easily maintain 30 vehicles or more. Public parking
to the south, east (riverside on Water Street) and limited parking on Main Street,
provide readily available parking to local patronage and tourists, alike. _
e
Traffic flow and vehicle counts are assumed to be quite good based on the
project's location on Main Street, the advent of an expanded and extended Lowell
Park, and the general bustling nature of Downtown Stillwater.
The goal of this project is to have the hardware store, market, and office space
available and open for business by late Summer, 1996. The micro brewery would
require additional preparation and setup with hopeful opening before
Thanksgiving 1996.
3. The existing Comprehensive Plan Land-Use designation and zoning of the property.
Include a statement as to how the proposed development will conform to the land use
designation and how the property will be zoned. Explain any discrepancies between the
proposed development and the existing land use designation and zoning.
The designation and zoning for the project property is expected to be light
commercial and retail. This will require verification. Based on surrounding land
use, these two zoning areas appear to coincide. This multiple-use project will
contain retail, light industrial/commercial, light food service, and possibly others.
Current surrounding designation includes office space to the north along
Mulberry Street, an automotive parts retailer, a professional association, office
supplies, and retail across Main Street, public parking and automotive/food
service station to the south across Commercial A venue, and railroad and public
land across Water Street to the east.
4. A statement identifying the public improvements requested to be financed and why the
costs of the improvement cannot be paid by the developer.
At this time, no public improvements are being requested There is, however, a
request for discussion concerning access and easement along the south side of the
warehouse area (market) where currently public parking exists up to the building.
There would be a request to create a minimum 5 foot walkway along the south
side of this structure to allow the installation of windows and awnings on this side
along with and access/egress for the market. In addition, a request for multiple
designated-market parking slots for varying time lengths and times of day to
assist in providing clear access for the market patrons. Parking along the east or
river side would be enhanced by the City granting use of the railroad bed
easement that currently exists between Maple Island property and Water Street.
A final request is for Tax Increment Finance assistance to help ensure a sound
and profitable business that will provide the City of Stillwater with many years of
stable tax base that will assist other businesses in the future. At this time, the
"pay as you go" method appears to be the most direct and mutually beneficial
route to follow. We are open to every and all suggestions and types of advice
from the City that will provide for the creation of the project.
e
5.
A statement identifYing the public benefits of the proposal including estimated increase in
property valuation, new jobs to be created and other community assets.
e
This project will benefit the City of Stillwater and its Downtawn in no fewer than
seven ways:
· It will provide needed services to Downtown in the
form of a hardware store and market.
· It will improve the City's tax base over time.
· It helps the City to establish the North Main Street
area in the Spirit and Intent of Downtown Stillwater.
· It will provide expectations of a business putting
back into Stillwater more than what it has received.
· It will provide skilled labor and professional
positions to Stillwater.
· It will generate community involvement with other
businesses Downtown and become a focal point of activities.
· It will provide services to the community by offering
grocery and hardware deliveries and service to families, both local
and visiting by making their purchase at any entity of the project, a
purchase that will somehow assist the City of Stillwater in
maintaining its status as a great place to live, work, and play.
6, A written perspective of the developers company or corporation, principals, history and
past projects.
This project will consist of a Limited Liability Partnership that will purchase and
renovate the Maple Island Building and lease out the office space. In addition,
the principals of this Partnership (Chuck Heidbrink and Tom Bader) will also be
the management team for a Corporation that will own the hardware store, the
market, and a portion of the microbrewery and brewpub. Attached resumes of the
two principals are included as Addendum 6. The resumes will describe the
history and past projects and occupations in which the principals have been
involved.

OBJECTIVE
To provide management expertise towards developing a successful and profitable
business experience. I wish to grow a business that utilizes fonvard-thinking techniques
and ideas to enhance not only my experience, but that of my family, customers, and
conmlUnity. Hard work, perseverance, knowledge, and education form the foundation
for success. This foundation will be well used to bring new \itality to an old facility and
help the City of Stillwater meet its needs for the future.
My personal strengths are found in the management of many types of projects and their
contracts (time and materials, fixed price, fixed cost, cost plus fixed fee, cost
reimbursable, etc.), management of professionals (engineers and scientists). and
graduate study in business management techniques to assist companies in competing in
the global economy. Additional strengths include business development, personnel
management, budget development and management through cost, schedule, and
performance control, profit and loss responsibility, computer literacy, well-placed
enthusiasm, and various other management skills.
I have recently completed an MS in Management of Technology from the University of
Minnesota's Carlson School of Business and Institute of Technology. This is a hybrid
degree enlisting the foundation-MBA course-work with innovative management theory
and practice to position companies for world-class operation and competition. In
addition to this, I have a BS in Geology, relevant experience in project management
(commercial and government), current General Management responsibilities for 20
engineers and geologists, and a variety of field and engineering experiences.

Return to the
romantic era of the
horse drawn carriage
Enjoy a tradition that dates to a simpler time when
the horse drawn carriage was the only mode oftranspor-
tation. In the hi tech rustIe and bustle of today's world, a
carriage ride is a wonderfully
romantic experience. Two
people, alone, enjoying the
tranquility of the rhythmic
clopping of the horses
hooves. It will leave you
with lasting memories. It is an ideal way to celebrate an
anniversary or to propose beginning of a life together.
"That happens quite often," confirms Wally Lindell,
carriage owner and driver. " It's very romantic. With the
parks all lit up and the city all lit up, that makes for an
eventful evening. I have never heard anybody that was
disappointed. Most everyone will tell me it's the most
enjoyable thing they've ever done."
Whatever the occasion, return to a simpler time and
create one oflife's memorable moments with Lindell's
Horse Drawn Carriage Rides.
~

Weddings:
Imagine the drama of the bride arriving at the chureh
in a horse drawn carriage! A romantic favorite for
weddings, the carriage ride also provides a charming
conclusion to this special event. It provides that first
opportunity to be alone together and it's a stunning
backdrop
for your
wedding
photos!
Even the
horse's
mane is
braided in colors that match those of the bridal party!
Proms and
Graduations:
A horse drawn
carriage ride is a
classy touch that
brings this special
evening to com-
plete perfection. Couples can enjoy a quiet ride away
from all the commotion and it can be a memorable
photo opportunity.
e
Business Events:
For something really different, carriage rides around
the park or neighborhood will be talked about long after
the event is over. A carriage ride is an especially big hit
with the kids.
Adults adore
the whole idea
of it. It can
also be an
engaging idea for a retirement or a promotion.
Special Events:
Make those special events truly memorable with a
carriage ride. Birthday parties, family reunions, grand
openings and open houses are just some of the many
events that can be
made even more
memorable with
the charm of a
carriage ride. In
fact, you don't
even need a special occasion. A romantic carriage ride
in one of our Vis-a- Vis carriages. handcrafted by the
Amish, is its own special occasion!

Proposed: Horse-drawn carriage service in downtown Stillwater.
Start-up date: April 19, 1996
Proposed days and hours on a weekly basis, weather permitting.

trial period.
Route: Start near Dock Cafe, proceed north to gazebo along river
front. Then on to Main street to Sawmill area or train
station. We will avoid heavy traffic areas and will not
interfere with traffic flow as to cause congestion.
Equipment: The carriages were built by the Amish and we keep
them in good, clean condition so as not to embarrass
anyone where we conduct our business. The horses and
harnesses are cleaned daily - plus we use a hard rubber
or po1yprope1ene shoe to make it easier on the horses
and to avoid any damage to the streets.
Horses and drivers: These will be the same as the ones used
in downtown St. Paul for the past 5 years. They are
traffic safe and experienced. Safety is always our
primary concern. The horses are never worked more than
7 hours in a shift and that will include a one hour
work break. They are never mistreated and are fed and
watered thruout their working schedule.
Sanitation: We use a diaper (Bun-bag) that fastens to their
harnes~to catch their droppings, to avoid leaving a
mess on the street.
Insurance: We carry a million dollar liability policy, $500,000
per occurence in the ,event of an accident.
Customer charges: Depending on the route and time for a round
trip, we will use a charge of $1.00 per minute for 2
passengers, $1.25 per minute for 3 or 4 passengers.
After a route is established, we will then be able to
quote a flat charge.

History: Wally Lindell has ovmed and operated Lindell
Carriages for eight years, doing weddings, proms,
parties, anniversaries and street work in front of
the St. Paul Hotel. We've done a number of weddings
and parties in Stillwater each year also.
I'm a member of CONA - Carriage Operators of North
America - and follow their rules and guidlines::as
it applies to the general public, training of employees,
ascertaining risk, health and suitability of horses
for this carriage work, plus working with law en-
forcement and governmental units.

Questions:
Do I need to talk to the City or the City Council to get
their perm~ssion?
Should I talk to the Police Dept?
Will any member of the Chamber be someone I should work with?
Do you knO\-l who used to come dOvmtown to do carriage rides?
Were they there on a consistent basis?
Did they leave a positive image of their carriage operation?
Horses?
Drivers?
Equipment?
Hours?
The only thing I will need is a location dovmtown Stillwater
for storage of I carriage to begin ~ith and 2 a little later
on. One carriage will use the space of a one car garage and
I prefer to avoid the hills in order to get to this space.
Any help?

SUBJECT:
Testing services agreement
DATE:
March 29, 1996
Discussion:
Accompanying this memo is a proposal from Maxim Technologies, Inc. (formerly Twin City Testing)
to perform testing services on the City Hall project for the City of Stillwater. 1bree proposals were
obtained by BWBR and this was the lowest responsible proposer. The cost of the service is $3753.00
and is included in the project budget.
As you can see, I have already signed the proposal. I normally (if ever) sign a proposal like this
\vithout first having obtained Council approval. However, BWBR felt that it was imperative that we
have a testing services in place ASAP because the work, and the need for having a testing service in
place began on March 21 st (BWBR was unable to get the proposals until after the March 19th
meeting).
Recommendation:
Council acceptance of the proposal and ratification of my signing of the proposal.

RE: Construction Testing Services Proposal
Stillwater City Hall & Fire Station Additions
Stillwater, Minnesota
Maxim Technologies, Inc. (formerly Twin City Testing) thanks you for the opportunity to
submit this proposal for testing and inspection services for the above captioned project.
,
We have estimated the number of tests and inspection hours based on our work on similar
projects and our review of the project drawings. Related project data, procedures and "General
Conditions" are outlined below or attached.
Scope of Services:
Based on our review of the project scope, the following is a brief overview of the included
services:
.
Earthwork - A staff engineer will observe and place shallow hand auger borings in
critical excavations to verify near surface soil conditions, and perform compaction
testing of fill soils while on-site. An experienced engineering technician, on an
intermittent basis, will perform density tests for backfill for foundations, utilities, and
miscellaneous grading.
Cast-in-Place Concrete - An experienced engineering technician will test the plastic
concrete for air content, temperature, and slump, as well as casting cylinders for
compression testing. The technician will also verify the concrete mix design and
observe the protection and curing methods. Four test cylinders will be cast for each
concrete placement up to 25 cubic yards, an additional set of four will be cast for
every 50 cubic yards, thereafter. One cylinder will be tested at 7 days and two at 28
days with one cylinder used as a "hold".
e
Concrete Special Inspections - An experienced engineering technician will observe the
concrete reinforcement and bolts for typical compliance with project plans and
specifications prior to the placement of concrete. For efficiency, this task will be
done by the same technician who will be testing the concrete.

e
Structural Steel Observations - We will provide a NDT Level II technician to observe
bolted connections to verify that all mating surfaces are in full contact, prepared
properly, and that the bolts have been adequately tightened. Field welds and bolted
connections will be observed for acceptability in accordance with the A WS D 1.1 and
AISC codes as indicated in the specifications.
If any welds or bolted connections are observed and judged to be unsatisfactory, these
items and the respective locations will be brought to the attention of the contractor
immediately.
Project Management - For effective coordination between you and Maxim, a project
manager from our firm will be assigned primary responsibility for the project. Cory
Kopp will be the project manager, and will be your primary contact with Maxim. He
should receive all requests for work, schedule the appropriate people to perform the
various tasks, coordinate the Maxim activities at the site, and prepare timely reports.
Budget:
We have estimated a total fee to provide the necessary observation, engineering and testing
services for this project. Please refer to the attached "Fee Schedule", which outlines the unit
rates which are applicable for the various testing services. You will only be charged for the
services provided at these unit rates. Our trip fees listed include all necessary mileage charges.
Scheduling:
Please refer to the attached "Fee Schedule", which outlines the unit rates which are applicable
for the various testing services. This project is being proposed with the understanding that all
work will be scheduled by the contractor in accordance with standard building practices . We
will provide our best effort to utilize our personnel to provide quality, expedient services.
Invoicing:
Our monthly invoices for this project will be determined by multiplying the actual number of
hours or tests for the month by the respective unit rates. The unit rates provided on the attached
"Fee Schedule" will be effective through the completion of the project. Based on the work
scope presented, our cost for the construction testing services is $3,753.00.

CITY OF STILLWATER
MEMORANDUM
TO:
Mayor and City Council
~t:-/
FROM:
Klayton Eckles, City Engineer
DATE: March 29,1996
SUBJECT: Long Lake High Water Issues
DISCUSSION
During the past week the city staff has had discussions with Lee Miller, Ned Gordon and other
residents in the Long Lake area who are concerned about potential flooding of Long Lake this
spring and summer. Their concerns stem from the fact that the DNR has directed the city to
close the outflow gate under Co. Rd. 12 after April 30th. This coupled with high water levels
around the county and increased flows into the Long Lake area from development has residents
concerned that flooding could occur.
One temporary solution that could provide some improvement to the situation would involve
cutting a temporary ditch between Long Lake and the Wetland north of Long Lake. This would
also mean cutting through Interlachen Drive and temporarily closing the road.
A more long term solution to this problem might involve working with the DNR to modify the
flow capacity of the discharge outlet. In order to accomplish this a comprehensive study of the
whole Long Lake Watershed should be completed. This will be necessary anyway due to the
potential development of the township area.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend the city council discuss this issue and consider authorizing a Comprehensive Study
of Long Lake, also, council should consider authorizing the construction of a temporary outflow
ditch across Interlachen for an estimated cost of approximately $5,000.

Memorandum
To:
STILLWATER CITY COUNCIL
STILLWATER TOWN BOARD
GEORGE M. HOF. 439-7604
March 29, 1996
72ND STREET / LONG LAKE WATER LEVEL
cc:
From:
Date:
Subject:
I understand it was decided at the March 28 meeting of the Stillwater Town Board
that 72nd Street! Interlachen will be closed by removing the culvert at the north
end of Long Lake.
I am not opposed to dealing with the situation of the possible flooding of
basements by controlling the level of Long Lake, however the closing of 72nd
street and draining the lake is a radical solution. The closing will have serious
implications for the fire, police and other safety factors for the residents on the
west side of the culvert. The only fire hydrant for the area is east of where the
road would be blocked.
I am also concerned that Long Lake is being treated as a drainage pond. To me it
is a lake and the level should be maintained at a level to facilitate usage as a
recreational lake. To raise and lower the level for the convenience of the drainage
of the recently developed areas and Browns Creek is inappropriate and should be
balanced with the maintenance of the lake at an appropriate level for the usage of
the lake.
Reducing the level of Long Lake by 2.5 feet will have substantial impact on the
lake as a recreational lake and also will impact the natural level of the lake which
supports the wildlife and surrounding vegetation.
I would encourage the City and the Township to implement a review ofthe
alternatives to deal with the problem rather than closing 72nd Street! Interlachen
and destroying Long Lake as a usable recreational lake.

City Council
City of Stillwater
216 N. 4th Street
Stillwater, MN 55082
April 1, 1996
Dear City Council,
After review of engineering documents and other data provided by the City, we are
extremely concerned about potential imminent damage to our property and homes. Based
on the data provided, we believe that the City has:
. Not fulfilled its obligations in the DNR permit. As a result, we will enter the
summer rainfall period with the DNR outlet locked shut, and without the 2.5
foot safety margin required under the permit. Thank you for the quick action
being taken to lower the lake as much as possible through the removal of
Interlachen, but it is not likely to provide the DNR mandated safety margin by
April 30th.
. Improperly designed the entire storm sewer system emptying under County
Road 5 by Target. It appears the design failed to consider the volume
restrictions imposed on the Lake by the DNR outlet and operating permit, and
that the design violates the Browns Creek WMO, Washington County
ordinances, and City of Stillwater ordinances and policy.
. Failed to disclose to developers and others, the material constraints imposed by
the DNR outlet upon development plans. As a result, the anticipated level of
development south and west of Long Lake, and further development within the
existing industrial park, may not be possible without damaging our properties.
Given these apparent facts, we the undersigned request immediate action by the City
including:
. Immediate passage of a construction moratorium on all tributaries of Long
Lake under the jurisdiction of the City, until our properties and Browns Creek
can be safeguarded. .
. Elimination orall non-compliant stotm sewer runoff entering the Lake from the
County 5 outlets. Currently portions of this runoff fail to comply with the
Browns Creek WMO, Washington County ordinances, and City of Stillwater
ordinances and policy.
. Public disclosure of the extremely restricted DNR outlet, and the non-
compliant design of the existing storm water system. This disclosure will
enable the real estate market, developers and permitees, to make informed
decisions.
Sincerely,
The Undersigned Residents
!

City Administrator
City of Stillwater

Stillwat.er, Minnesota 55082
Dear Nile:
1 will be unable to attend tonight's City Council meeting when action concerning the water
level of Long Lake is discussed. However, 1 wanted you arld the Council to know of my
thoughts. '
Oosing 72nd Street for 30 days and digging a trench to lower the level of the lake by 21/2 feet
seems to be a radical, temporary and unlikely solution.
At the pl:'esent time, the two culverts at the nor~h ertd of the lake are open with the water level
about eight inches from the top of the culverts. .The water level in the trench and pond on the
north side o.f 72nd Street is level with the south side. Also, the IIgatell at County Highway 12 is
open and the water level there is about 12 to .15 indites fron~ the top of the spillway. 1 do not
see how digging a trench through 72nd Street, no ~atter what the depth, will result in
low~rjng the level of Long Lake--unl~s the trench and pond nurth of 72nd, i:md the spillwcty ell
County Highway 12, are all lowered 2 1/2 feet.
;."'"
Lowering the .level of Long Lake by 2'1/2 feet will have significant adverse consequences to the
lake, the shoreline and other natural features of the: area.
It seems to me there has to be a solution that deals primarily with the "inflowll-the excessive
volume of water that comes from two sources--(l} the Market Square area culvert under
County Highway 5 and (2) the drainage from the vast area south of Highway 36 that enters the
lake on the western portion of my property. .
Pleas~ consid~r the followine:
(1) A new 'much wider, hut not deeper, culvert at 72nd Street to handJe a greater volume
of outflow.
(2) When the County Highway 12 "gate" is closed, the spillway wilt hold back up to
15 inches of wClte1" from the present "natural" level.

Mr. N lie Kriesel

April 2, 1996
(3) Install "gatesll at the County Highway 5 culverts--to make the ponding area truly a
pondine an:~a. Currently, there is only several inches of water in the culverts. Up to
three to four feet of run-off could be held in that pond (from present levels) when tht'!tl'!
are heavy rains and then gradually lowering the gates to allow the water to flow out
during driet' periods. .
(4) Investigate the possibility of somehow holding back the volume of flowage from the
area south of Highway 36 during times of heavy rains.
I do have concern for those homeowners whose ba~ements have the potential of being flooded.
However, it is also very important to maintain the natural level of the lake.
As a final point, it should be noted that there has been a recu.rring problem of beavers
damming the 72nd Street culverts. Part of the solution would include assuring on a daUy basis
that these culverts are kept open.
Thank you for your consideralion.
Very truly yours,

Long Lake Water Level Control
.
Cochrane's Long Lake residents will accept 889 feet as a permanent
water level of Long Lake and do not object to the drainage concept
of culverts under 72nd Street. However~ we are concerned about
several matters which we feel should be considered by the Town
Board before approving the Thompson 7th Addition.
1) The previous Orin Thompson additions have aggravated
both the water level and water condition of Long
Lake. If this new addition is not held up until
p::>sitive corrective action has taken placel Thompson
will be long gone and the costs will have to be
born by the town or city.
2) $151000 escrow fund:
a. The town should get a clear understanding on
who is responsible for paying additional monies
if this is insufficentl since Stillwater citizens
don't want their tax dollars spent nor do Cochrane's
Long Lake Residents want to be assessed.
b. Get a performance bond guaranteeing $151000 or
what ever is required.
3) The City Counc~l said Long Lake water problem was to
to be handled this fall as it was acknowledged if not
done, the spring runoff could cause severe flooding
and more tree loss. Therefore l"ie suggestl that the
township request a written program from the City on
what steps they are taking to:
a. Obtain permission from DNRJ Township and affected
contiguous land owners for draining water.
b. Obtain formal quotations from contractors on work
to be done based on specifications drawn up by
professional engineers who understand the problem
and will make a permanent solution for the entire
watershed.
c. Handle excess water in DNR until such time as
County 12 is completed.
e
.
4) Township should get clear written understanding on
how water will be carried from DNR along County 12
right of way, ~ho pays added construction costs,
and u~intains the draina~e system (County, City,
or Township).
5) If solution is not reached .before Thompson is
ready to build, what steps can Township take to
prevent issuance of permits?
6) The City is willing to restriot traffio from
Croixwood west, along Interlaohen. Will City
construot road hump on Interlaohen for this
purpose?

LONG LAKE OUTLE'r STUDY
.
Introduction
.
In January of 1976, we were retained a. a subcontractor by the
consulting engineering firm of Banister, Short, Elliott, Hendrickson
and Associates, St. Paul, Minnesota, to investiga~e hydrologic condi-
tion. at Long Lake in Stillwater, Minnelota. Due to development of the
watershed to the landlocked lake,.theCity of Stillwater is proposing
to construct an outlet to Brown's Creek. Thi. action requires that
plan. be reviewed and a permit be i.sued by the Minnesota Department
of Natural Relources. This report is intended to provide supporting
data for the proposed method of con.tructins and operatins the outlet
for the lake.
In the design of the outlet structure by the ensineers for the
City and also the review of such plans by the DNR, there are three
general goals. First, there is a general agreement that a practical
outlet for the lake must be installed. This is due to bothcthe present
and projected development of the watershed. Runoff to the lake will be
increased and there will be public pressure to provide a more stable
lake level. Secondly, the existing fishery in the lower reaches of
Brown 'I Creek must be protected. In the ravine section of the creek
just prior to its discharge into the St. Croix River, brown trout are
regularly stocked. There is some minor survival throush the winter
enough to warrant designation of the stream as a trout stream. The
third goal of the study is to optimize the recreational value of Long
Lake. This can be ~one by:the minimizing of lake level fluctuations
and the maintenance of relatively high lake levels.
During discussions with the governmental representatives and also
private citizens, the principal concerns voiced have been the effect of
the Long Lake outlet on summer water temperatures in Brown's Creek, flow
rates 1n Brown's Creek, and water levels during major storm events 1n
Long Lake.
The following sections describe known data on Long Lake and Brown's
Creek, design parameters, and proposed design and operation of the
outlet structure.

Physical Descripcion of the Study Aruo
.
Long Lake i. located near the west limit. of the City of St111wacer
in Se~tion. 30 .nd 31, T. 30 N., R. 20 W., Washington County, Hinne.ota.
The lake presently has an area of about 100 acres and is landlocked.
To the north of the lake are two smaller ponds which if connected will
give the lake. surface area of about 145 acres. The total trtbutary
drainage are. to the lake will be 1,500 acres at final development.
The low outlet from the area is approximately four feet .bove the present
lake level and would result in drainage to Brown's Creek.
The Brown's Creek watershed has an area of over 13,000 acres. It
extends from the Creek's outlet near the north limits of Stillwater to
the west and north. The uppermost reach pf the watershed is over ten
miles along the stream from the outlet and is in Section 19 of May Town-
ship. Topographically, the watershed is character~zed by a large number
of lakes, swamps and marshes in the upper reaches, a relatively flat
and well drained area just upstream from Lake McKusick, and a steep ra-
vine section for the 1; miles prior to discharge into the St. Croix
River.
Geologically, the area is underlain by Ordovician Prairie du Chien
Group bedrock except near the St. Croix River shere Jordan Sandstone,
the St. Lawrence Formation, and the Franconia Formations outcrop in des-
cending order. The Prairie du Chien Group dolomites and the Jordan
Sandstone act in concert as a principal aquifer in the Twin Cities Basin.
Because of the large amount of water in the aquifer, discharges occur
as springs along the valley of the St. Croix. It is such flow that pro-
vides the input of colder base flow water to the lower reaches of Brown's
Creek.
Near Long Lake, the bedrock is covered by over 100 feet of glacial
drift. The soils are .the distinctive reddish tills of the Superior Lobe
of the Wisconsin Glacial Period. They were laid down by that lobe as
it advanced from the north out of the present Lake Superior. In some
areas, outwash sands and gravels are found within the general moraine
area. These are likely the result of runoff generated during the wasting
and retreat of the Superior Lobe.

Known Desian Parameters
Following are .ummariea of known information for the ~ong ~.ke
and/or metropolit.n area. Data 1a provided in the .reas of stream flow.
air and water temperature, and precipitation.
1. Flood Flows in Brown's Creek
As part of a flood insurance study, the United States Geological
Survey has computed flood flows in the stream through the City of
Stillwater. These flows are based on Long Lake remaining landlocked
and on the present development of the watershed. Flood flows are aa

.
The flows listed are at the intersection of the Long Lake branch
of Brown's Creek with the main channel. Flows are altered and somewhat
reduced by passing through storage downstream at Lake McKusick.
2. Base Flows in the Lower Part of Brown'd Creek
During August of 1966 and 1969, the base flow in Brown'. Creek
near its outlet was measured as 2.0 cfa. In August of 1954, b.....flow
was mealured as 4.0 cfs. Mr. Duane Elliott of BSEH estimated flow dur-
ing a cold period in January of 1976 as 17.0 cfa.
3. Temperature of Bedrock Groundwater Inflow
According to Mr. Earl Kuehnaat, State Climatologi.t, the tempera-
ture of water leaving the Jordan Sandstone in the lower reache~ of
Brown's Creek should be about 2 degrees above the mean annual temperature,
This would be about 46 degrees Fahrenheit.

Based on input from the DNR and 'the enclo..d
report by D~. J--._
A. Jones. temperature on a continual basis for the survLval of brown
trout should not exceed 74 degrees. There is general agreement that
the trout can withstand higher temperatures for short time period. on
the order of days.
5. Summer Lake Temperatures
A review of lake testing data from the Nine Mile Creek Water-
shed District. the Bassett Creek Flood Control Commission. and a recent
study on lakes in Minneapolis indicated that maximum lake temperatures
measured were about 25 degrees C. (17 degrees F.). The temperature of
Long Lake was measured during a recent study of lakes in Washington
County. Summer near surface temperatures of from 77 to 19 degrees were
measures. It appears that all measurements were taken during daylight
hours.
6. Summer Air Temperatures
Data is available on normal temperatures from the State Climatol-
ogist for the Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport station. The data shown
the following:
.
Date average maximum temperature exceeds
74 degrees F. June 6
Date of last average maximum temperature
exceeding 74 degrees F. September 4
Date average daily temperature exceeds
70 degrees F. July 3
Date of last average daily temperature
exceeding 70 degrees F. August 18
Maximum average daily temperature of the
year. 73 degrees
Later information in this report indicates that tong Lake dis-
charges may be permitted when air temperatures are 65:degreel F. or less.
From weather data collected at the Stillwater sewage treatment plant.
.
minimum temperatures for summer months are available for the period of
1963 through 1974. The following table shows the average number of days
when temperatures dropped to 65 degrees or below.

Station for the period from 1866 to 1975. While the data from this
station will be effected by several moves of the station during that
period and the variability between Minneapolis and Stillwater, the length
of record allows for the presentation of data for the less frequent
events. The following table shows expected total rainfall for various

The data differs from individual storm data in TP-40 and TP-49
in that those publications show expected storms based on an entire
year rather than on two or three months.
Need for a Positive Outlet for the Lake
Because Lons Lake is presently landlocked, it haa a hiatory of
considerable fluctuation. Our records show that the lake waa at a level
of 884.7 in May of 1962. reached elevation 887.3 in 1969, and ia
presently slightly above elevation 892. During drought cycles in the
past, the lake was probably considerably lower than 884 and could have
been nearly dry.
The advent of development in the watershed will result in changes
to the drainage system. First. storm sewers and other methoda of convey-
ance of water to the lake will be the normal re.ult of land improvement.
These actions decrease the amount of depression Itorase now available
in the watershed and result in more area directly tributary to the lake.

Secondly, development of the water.hed will re.ulC 1

otherwise hard surfacing of land areas. The ~ype of development will
generally dictate the percentage of land coverage by hard surface. In
the areas now completed by Orrin Thompson, the percentase of land hard
surfaced is approximately 20 to 25 percent. The percentage is lOWer
than would normally be expected for urban residential due to the larse
amount of area retained as open space.
Near T.R. 36, a proposed commercial-indultrial.development could
result in hard surfacing of up to 75 percent of the land in the project.
This area will generate considerably more runoff per unit area than will
the residential areas.
In the west part of the Long Lake drainas. area, the land is
presently asricultural and will l1kely develop as larS. lot residential.
Based on the above considerations, we have as~umed that the present
and future breakdown of watershed area will be as follows:
Lake Area - Acres
ImperviOUS Area - Acres
Pervious Area - Acres
145
203 (15%)
1152 (85%)
Final Development
145
406 (30%)
949 (70%)
Present
.
For any moderate or heavy rainfall event, runoff will be gener-
ated from impervious areas whereas runoff will be produced from turfed
areas only for the heavy rainfall events. Therefore the development
of the watershed will result in greater volumes of water reaching the
lake and subsequent higher water levels.
Present development of the area to the east of Long Lake has
resulted in some structures being relatively near to the present lake
level. The lowest structure (a single family residence) will be flooded
at the time water reaches elevation 893.5 in the lake. Based on present
levels and the continuins development of the drainase area, the home
can be expected to be flooded.unless an outlet is provided.
The Proposed Outlet Structure
Based on discussions with the Minnesota Department of Nat~ral
Resources and our analysis, it has been determined that the Lons Lake
outlet structure should be designed to meed the following criteria:

to minimize the discharge from Long Lake durln. p.ak flow.
in Brown's Creek.
2. Floodwater elevations in Long Lake cannot exceed 893.5 for
the 100 year runoff event.
3. During the wa~ summer months, discharges will not be
allowed that could warm the lower reaches of Brown's Creek
to above 74 degrees F.
The attached figure Ihows schematically the propo.ed outlet
structure for the Long Lake disch.rge. Basically, the .tructure i. an
overflow weir having a length of 10 feet. In this weir 1_ placed a
movable gate with dimensions of 1.0 foot width and 2.4 feet height.
The top elevation of the weir is 891.4 and the elevation of the gate
sill is 889.0. Twin 30 inch diameter pipes will be installed downstream
from the weir to convey waters through proposed County Road 12.
.
The proposed method of operation is as follows. Bxcept during the
warm summer months, the movable gate will be opened so that the control
elevation for Long Lake is 889.0. This will be the case during the
spring runoff event which is undoubtedly critical in Brown's Creek.
As the lake waters warm in the summer, eventually water and air temp-
eratures will reach the point where there will be a thermal impact on
Brown's Creek. At this time in late June, the movable gate will be
closed. Assuming the water level in Long Lake il near to the control
elevation of 889.0, there will be 2.4 feet of dead storage available.
We have calculated that this is sufficient volume to retain all runoff
for a 60 day period that has a 10 percent probability of occurring in
any year. The calculation is based on runoff that can occur when the
watershed is completely developed rather than present conditions. This
would reduce the. probability to about 5 pellcent.. . .."
The chance of overtopping of the weir (elevation 891.4) can be
further reduced if some water is discharged Auring the summer months.
A previous section listed the number of occurrences of summer temper-
atures below 66 degrees F. We propose that water be discharged through
the movable gate during periods when the air temperature is le88 than

time required fow water to flow from Lana Lake to the trout acr...
part of Brown'. Creek. We e8timate that about two hours will b.
required. If the gate is closed when air temperatures ri8e above 65
degrees. the last flows released should have reached the trout atream
area by the time that air temperatures exceed 74 degrees F.
There has been discussion of installing an automatic control for
the gate. However. we believe that initially the gate ahould be oper-
ated manually while temperature and flow data i8 collected. For the
two year study period, we will manually release water using thef'ollow-
ing criteria:
1. Water will be released by opening the gate when air temper-
atures are at 65 degrees and falling. The gate will be
closed when air temperatures rise above 6~ degrees F.
2. The rate of water released will not exceed 7 cubic feet per
second or 50 percent of the pre-releaae creek flow whichever
is less.
After the two year study period, we recommend that the final dec-
ision be made on the type of gate control. gate elevation, and desirable
flood event fluctuation of Long Lake.
.
Relationship of Long Lake Discharge to Brown's Creek~
During major flooding events in Brown's Creek, the input of water
from Long Lake has been of concern to some parties interested in the
proposed project. Analysis of the situation has been done for two cases,
when the movable gate is open and when it is closed.
During the approximately 10 months of the year when the gate will
be open (including the time of the spring snowmelt event), a aubatantial
amount of storage is available behind the proposed structure. The follow-
ing table shows expected flood elevations in Long ~ake and probable
discharges for this case. It is assumed that the pre-flood lake elev-
ation is 889.0, the gate sill elevation. The Brown's Creek flowa used
to make a comparison of Long Lake outflow to main channel flow .~elfrom
the previously cited U.S.G.S flood insurance study.

When the gate is dosed during the approximately two summer months,
a major storm event could occur. If the runoff event as determined by
the U.S.G.S were to occur during this time, a comparison similar to that
shown above could be made. For this calculation. we assumed that the
pre-storm water level was at 891.4, the weir elevation.

It should be understood that the above recurrence intervall are
based on a 12 month period rather than approximately 2 months. Therefore
the chance of such an event occurring is much smaller than that shown
above.
Summary and Conclusions
Construction of an outlet for Long Lake that provides for flood
flow storage in the lake and controlled release of water at high temper-
aturel will benefit the lake without seriously impacting the trout Itream
portion of Brown's Creek. The effecCs of such an outlet will be Itudied
for a two year period to determine whether there is a need for automatic
discharge control and what the final design levels of the lake should
be. The presently planned control structure will be designed 10 that
future modifications can be made at minimal cost.
The City of Stillwater and the Department of Natural Resources
should be concerned with development in other parts of the watershed
.
to Brown's Creek. This is particularly true in the area upstream from
Lake McKullck where there is no av.ilable storage. Activities in the
headwaters area that change disch.rges from the sever.l lakes. marshes,
and swamps can also result in changes in flow conditions in the lower
reaches of Brown's Creek.

Reference:
Lona Lake Water Problem
Dear ~r. Mayor:
This Idtcl" i~ being written to you because we ieel you are honestly
concerned not only with the high water on Long Lake, but more broadly,
the relationship between the City and the Town.
Since you have come into office and Mr. Al Borsheim has been Chairman
of the Town Board of Supervisors. the two units of government have made
greater progress in reaching mutually satisfactory solutions to problems
than has occurred literally in generations.
The members of Cochrane's Lona Lake Property Owners' Association
were extremely disappointed Tuesday, February 10, 1976, to watch the
approval of Mr. Mahoney's motion (you abstained and Mr. Peterson
opposed) to grant 34 building permits to Orrin Thompson along Interlachen
Avenue because we saw the respect. credibility. and good faith developed
over the months being destroyed.
We felt the fact that the water problem is a serious one needing permanent
solution was positively established when the City agreed not to approve
the proposed plat of Croixwood Seventh Addition until traffic access is
restricted from Croixwood to 72nd Street and drainage into Long Lake
18 approved by the Department of Natural Resources and Stillwater
Township (Article 8 of Orderly Annexation).
....
Further verification of water seriousness is found in City resolution
6164 adopted August 26, 1975. Article 10 and 11 which state:
10)
That Stillwater Township review and approve the drainage
plans for this addition as they affect Long Lake.
11 )
That no building permits be issued until the solution to the
Long Lake high water problem is in place and operational.

. Le tte I' to Mayor David C.
Further significance to the problem was established by the special permit
for a temporary equilizer pipe! between Long Lake and DNR property issued
by the DNR ard which, in special provisipns #4 stipulates that the City of
Stillwater, Stillwater Township, and Washington County shall deligently
cooperate in formulating a real:Jonable long term outlet for Long Lake by
.June 30. 1976.
J unke I'
At the Tuesday meeting. your own professional adviser. Duane Elliot,
could not assure you what the permanent solution to the high water may be I
Mr. Harold Kimmel repeatedly warned that no one knows how much it will
COAt the City to provide wate!' drainage into and out of the DNP. property.
The County may underwritel:;ome of these costs. but no one knows this.
Mr. Elliot had suggested that Orrin Thompson deposit $15,000 in an escrow
fund (Article 1. Resolution 6164) to be used for controls of the Lake level.
Thil:; was not. done and the City has lost the interest on $15.000 for sf months.
.
A public hearing must be held on the DNR drainage. Your Mr. Ray Marshall
is speaking t.onight at an Izaac Walton Meeting on the effect of drainage into
Brown's Creek. In other words, many others are involved in this problem,
further implying more costs which the City may be forced to absorb. Cochrane
Long Lake Association warned the Township of this very thing in its
September 11, 1975 letter. which is now being confirmed by Mr. Kimmel.
Mr. Mahoney's rationale for his motion was that lnterlachen would be
muddy if not paved and so therefore permits had to be issued for the
north side of the street. There is nothing to prevent Thompson from
paving the street without issuance of permits. Mid Oaks has been paved
and we still have homes to be built if the water level can be lowered to
permit construction. Which brings up the point that Stillwater Citizens
on Marine Circle have lost use of their land because of high water. The
Pizing~r' s have been penalized aud likewlse Townohip dtizelU:I.
.'"
We find it hard to believe that you will tolerate the damage to citizens,
obstruct the orderly solution to the water problem, expose the City to
unknown additional costs for drainage simply to satisfy a contractor who:
1)
2)
Hasn't paid you $15, 000 since A~gust.
Seeks sympathy for the highest paid workers in the
community should they be laid off for several months.
Threatens to pull out his machinery.
Neglects his own property owners (and your citizens)
in Croixwood affected by Long Lakels high water.
Threatens not to pay you your own $15, 000 if you don't
approve the Seventh Addition plat.

Letter to Mayor David C. Junker
Mr. Mayor, we strongly urge that you ask your council in the .name of
good relations with Stillwater Township, 'your own citit;ens, and those of
your neighboring community, and as protection against unknown costs
to the City of Stillwater, to rescind the resolution to irant 34 permits to
Orrin Thompson.
We would appreciate your written assurance that no Seventh Addition
permits will be issued until the permanent and operational solution to the
high water problem of Long Lake is reached.
Respectfully,
Cochrane's Long Lake Property Owners Association

Subject a Loni Lake water levela
Thank you for allowing me the opportuni ty 'Jf apeaking at the public
hearing for the proposed mall at Orleans and OR 5 this past summer.
At that time I voiced my conCerns about tne impact on Long Lake's
water levels and about the rnaintenance of the inplace drainage
facilities out of Long Lake. Since tne bearing, I have talked with
Mr. Junker, Mr. D1ethart, representative of Short, Elliot, and
Hendrickuon and you. 411 were most cooperative and forthcoming,
tor which I aIr. most appreciative. Nu c.;ples ot the entire Long Lake
Outlet Study are available in their entirety; however, I did receive
excerpts. Atter reviewing the information received, I for.ee serio~s
problems which have the potential to cause flooding on the prcp~rties
abutting Long Lake due to your construction and maintenance.
,Development of the northeast quadrant of TH )6 and DR 5 has createu
the need to change the drainage facilities which cross OR S and drain
to the west. The development will generate considerably more runoff
tnan presently exists due to hard surfacing of parking lots, roads,
sidewalks and roofs. Hard surfacing has two effects on runoff. Lesa
water is retained than on soil, which absorDs water until entirely
saturated. Water runs off more rapidly on hard surfacing. Therefore,
the development will produce more ~unoff and the r.te of runoff will be
accelerated.
According to the preliminary plans of Short, Elliot and HendriCkson,
aettlement ponds and reviaed atorm aewer will handle drainase tor the
area. .orth ~f b~nd St. No., a )6" culvert drains the adjacent area.
Alao inpace il a heavily silted ~'x5' cattle pass with 8 flow line
1.4' higher tuan that of the )6't culvert. A pond is planned with an
outllet1' lower U~an existing culvert via a new 48" culVert. My under-
standing is that the inplace c1i11verts will remain tl. act 8" overflows.
North of Orlean8 St., a 24" culvert drains the adjacent area. A pond
..
.
I.
"',.-
-
1s planned with an outlet controlled b)' & new 36" culvert. The inplece
24" will remain to act as an overflow. Therefore, not only are you
increasing the capacity of t~e system, but eapecially in heavy runoff
.ituations, you are more than doubling the potential rate of runoff.
The rate ot runoff i. a. important al the quantity of water involved.
If you are till1n& a lawn mower gaa tank with a tunnel and you pour too
taat into the funnel, the funnel overflows even though the lawnmower's
tank is not full. Long Lake is like a funnel in that the inlets are
larger than the outlet. By increasing the rate of runotf, you increase
the possibility of flooding the properties abutting Long Lake. One
should consider bulkheading the inplace storm sewers once the new
culverts are inplace. This would require more storage capacity in the
ponds east of OR 54 The advantage of bulkheading instead of removal is
to provide tor additional capacity in case the outlet trom Long Lake
to the St.. Croix is enlarged.
Maintenace of the outlets from Long Lake 11 mandatory tor the system
to function pr~perly. The culverts Under 72nd St. (Interlachen), the
strelJ'lls wi thin the DNR property, the weir under CR 12 and. the streams
north ana east of CR 12 are silted, Which 1s keeping Long Lake higher
than it should be. The weir 1s not kept open during all permissible
periods as defined by the DHR. It 1s as important to keep it open in
the fall as in the spring. If the lake is lower in the tall, it has
more capaCity in the apring to aocommodate runoff and the .pring rains.
I a.aume that the Public Works Department is keeping a diary of daily
temperatures, openings and closing 01' the weir, and maintenance to the
entire system. A diary i. recommended in case of ~otenti.l problems.
It you will recall, settlement of problems in 1975 and 1976, Which

resulted in constructlon of the weir, included maintenance of the
entire system by the City of Stillwater. Keeping Long Lake at the
control elevation of 689.0 whenever possible eleo will lee.en the
ohanoee ot floodins Brownie Cr~ek durins periode of larse runoff,
whioh would b. die..teroue to the trout populations.
,
Proper development, drainage control, and maintenance are critical to
the well being of the Long Lake watershed. Please note that the
data provided by Short Elliot is predicated on a p~operly functioning
eystem. It i8 also baaed on completing and operetina the ey.tem ae
outlined in the "Lons ~ake Outlet St~dJ" and th<< Dla p.~it to the

RE: LONG LAKE WATER LEVEL
Mr. Don Peterson, P.E.
7130 Mid Oaks Avenue North
Stillwater, MN 55082
Dear Mr. Peterson:
The City of Stillwater appreciates the concern shown by you and
other area residents. After reading your letter dated January
19, 1987, I asked representatives from Short-Blliott-Hendrickson
to review your concerns. The fOllowing is a list of their
f incUngs : .
1.
Runoff which enters Long Lake is generated in three separate
governmental jurisdictions. Those governmental jurisdic-
tions are the City of Stillwater, Stillwater Township and
Bay town Township.
2.
Total acreage of the Long Lake drainage area is about 2,002
acres.
3.
Of the total drainage area 34.3 percent, or about 687 acres,
lies within the City of Stillwater.
About 495 acres, or 72 percent of the drainage area within
the City of Stillwater, is presently developed.
Of the 687 acres in the City of Stillwater, surface water
runoff from about 647 acres is routed through at least one
detention basin before it is discharged into Long Lake. By
routing the runoff through detention basins the rate of
discharge and the sediment loading of the runoff is reduced.
In addition, the time required for the total volume of
runoff to reach Long Lake is substantially increased.

6. The 100-year design discharge rate for the drainage system,
after full development in the ditch north of 62nd street, is
180 cubic feet per second.
7. The discharge rate in the 62nd Street ditch from the
tributary area in its natural state is 182 cubic feet per
second.
8. If no detention basins were provided within Stillwater's
Industrial area, the discharge rate would be about 600 cubic
feet per second.
The above data demonstrates that the runoff from the City of
Stillwater will likely have less of an impact than the runoff
from the other governmental jurisdictions. It also indicates
that the City of Stillwater has made a conscious effort to
control the rate and quality of its storm water discharge into
Long Lake. Timely maintenance of the ,drainage facilities is
important. However, a concerned and conscious approach must be
taken by everyone to eliminate future problems with the water
quality and level in Long Lake.
Respectfully,

Mayor Jay Kimble
City of Stillwat<<
ce. Taco Beaika · W.d 4
Dave Magneson . City Attorney
DNR
D.. tJIr. Kimble,
The residents of Stillwater that Jive along Long Lake are very concerned with the
development work that is affecting the lake level and lake quality along Long Lake.
Recent work that has been done in the area including the Bodlovick Apartments, the
Cottages. the Erickson Post development. the Cub development. the Target
developments and the development of the properties aaoss highway 36 that crain into
the lake. have put an inaeased pressure on the lake levels of Long Lake.
Much of this water was contained by the crainage areas on the east side of Cty 5 by
the apartments. However, with the reduced 80il percolation area caused by
development and the reduction in the ponding area, this water is now an instant crain
into the system.
The soccer areas were a emergency holding area fer extra water but now this ..ea is
becoming a standard part of the water system. The houses near them have seen
constant high water.
The water coming from the CubIT arget areas. which have only been developed 50%,
has changed from only once or twice a year during severe storm runoff, to an aU fall
small aeek with city engineers designing ctaining aeeks for this area equal to the
volume of the Canon River. If the water ever came close to the size of the ctainage
ditch designed, Long Lake would approach the flooding seen years ago on Carnelian
Lak. ...a.
Consider the thought of a spring 8 inch snow fall followed by a warm rain. This is what
some ot the area residents are concerned about.
The water level on Long Lake is controlled by 2 features. One is the culvert under
Interlocken Road. This culvert is small and over half filled with large rocks. It has been
this way for the 14 years we have lived here.
The second factor is the dam and wei' on the ctainage system on Cty 12. This
controls the overall lake level and is under covenant not to release large amounts of
water from May to October. Beavers used to add to the problem but I have walked the
system the past 2 years and have seen no sign of blockage due to beavers.
Last summer, we saw the lake level at record highs all summer long. The only time it
was higher than this in 14 years was the 10 inch rain several years ago and it was only
..
.
.
.
...
a few inches higher than periods last summer. We also saw constant input into the
lake from aainage. Most residences lost a foot ex two of shoreline due to erosion
caused by the high water. With the high water, several residences were approaching
the levels where basement flooding would be expected.
Since the DNR does not res1rict waves from boats during flooding and the city does not
reduce the water level. the outcome is predictable.
We would like the city to maintain the maximum water level on this lake or restrict the
input when it is over the magic level. This may mean that the ponds at other areu will
have the same problem we are facing. Local flooding and erosion. The cost of
development also means that you must insure that you are not des1roying other
property.
I would suggest installing a culvert system under lnterlocken Road equal to the system
of inputs coming into the lake. Please remember, there are at least 3 maja inputs plus
normal area runoff into the lake. This culvert should allow full output at flooding
conditions equal to the input amounts.
Second. .The ordinance requires that a person be declared the maintainer of the wier.
I do not know if the city has ever complied with this ordinance but it also calls for full
periodic inspections. We would like to know who this person is that is in charge of the
weir and whether or not they inspect it as required. Looking at the lake level all winter
long, it has remained at the high water mark. This means that it has not been lowered
as required and with added water come spring, it will flood.
This ordinance needs reviewing with the DNR to allow for aaining of water during the
summer as the lalce approaches high levels and not waiting until all neighbors are
flooded out and city bills sta1 coming in. After getting the complete run around last
year - we were told that it was in Stillwater Township control by the city - and after
finding it on a DNR map, we found that it was not only controlled by Stillwater City. but
there was a very e)Cact ordinance around it. I would think that with this in mind. and the
lack of procedure to follow the ordinance. residences would have legal recOLr'se
should the development cause flooding.
Finally. all the new blacktop - large Cty 5 work. new lots for Cub, Target. and other
stores. will be adding measurable quantities of oils to the lake system from both
surface work and car residues. We feel that an oil sorb boom should be installed and
maintained on the first and second holding ponds to retain as much of this as possible.
Since government standards are now set at a 10 ppm restriction on surface water
contamination, this law will be enforceable shortly and will apply to cities as well as
industry. It would be politically correct to install something now and not after a lawsuit
for contaminating the lake.
The city has had a habit of overlooking its responsibilities for many years. I woUld
hope that with a change of administration, we would have some planned progess
.
.
.
. r
rather than a system that reacts after the fact to problems that were aeated by other
administrations.
These problems can be acktessed and eliminated before anyone has to call special
meetings to resolve the problems they will aeate.
We would appreciate this getting YOll immediate attention.
Sincerely - the reaidente of Stillwater .. Long Lake.

Dear Mr. Gair:
I am in receipt of your letter dated July 31, 1995, which you sent to Molly Shodoen of the
Department of Natural Resources. In your letter you discuss the apparent "radical" changes in
Long Lake levels, supposed lack of compliance with the operation and maintenance plan for the
lake outlet structure, and supposed increases in surface water runoff from developments in Oak
Park Heights and Stillwater.
.
The fluctuations in Long Lake have long been a concern to the City of Stillwater. Even in the
1970's this issue was a concern because Long Lake was a landlocked basin. The City applied for
a permit to install an outlet in 1976. At that time, the DNR allowed an outlet bqt placed severe
restrictions on its operation. These restrictions include a requirement that discharge only take
place when ambient temperatures are less than 6S degrees and that manual discharge shall not
exceed 7 cfs or SO percent of the flow in Brown's Creek at Station 3. In reference to your
statements regarding lack of compliance with the monitoring and operational plan, if there has
been lack of compliance, it has had the effect of reducing high water levels in Long Lake.
As to your concern regarding development within the Long Lake Watershed, the City has
complied with Provision 13 of the Long Lake Permit, which states, "The City shall require all
new development within Long Lake Watershed to provide stonn water detention and desilting
basins to maintain water quality and minimize increases in peak discharge to Long Lake."
Specifically, the Marketplace development which was completed in 1994 includes a NURP pond
with 100 year storage capability.
Long Lake has experienced periodic high water levels. It appears that these high water levels are
due to abnormal rainfall.events, an inadequate outlet operational system, and reoccurring
blockages and beaver problems in the downstream system. On August 2, 1995, I inspected the
downstream channel which flows through Stillwater Township and found new beaver activity in
the channel which has raised the entire pond, lake and channel system by at least One foot.
Stillwater staff is currently working to obtain a permit from the DNR to remove the beavers. As
Long Lake borders both City of Stillwater and Stillwater Township property, both communities

have an interest in maintaining stable lake levels. Therefore, it is important that these two
communities work together to insure that the outlet channel and discharge pipes are clear and
operational at all times. Also, the communities should continue to work with the DNR in order
to develop a more feasible up-to-date operational plan for this discharge system.

Dear Mr. Eckles:
Pursuant to your recent request, SEH is pleased to submit our proposal for the preparation of a feasibility study
to identify and define a storm water outlet and discharge routing for an existing storm water pond. This existing
pond is located along the Stonebridge Trail North and should discharge to Browns Creek, however, this pond
has no natural outlet. SEH proposes to provide the field surveys of the pond and probable outlet routes, and then
prepare a feasibility study to define the design parameters necessary to resolve the outlet conditions as they
currently exist. Included shall be an Engineers Estimate of Cost and preliminary drawings for the proposed
improvements as outlined in the feasibility study. It is proposed that the fees for providing this study shall be in
accordance with the following estimate of professional services hours:

As a resident of Stillwater and a long time duathlete I believe
this is a great opportunity to help the sport of duathlon grow
and to introduce this town to my fellow duathletes.
For those people not familiar with the sport, A duathlon
consists of three legs, the first leg is a run which is
approximately 2-4 miles in length followed by a bike leg of
15 to 22 miles in length and finally another run leg usually
following the same course as the first run leg.

RE: PREPARATION OF INFORMATION FOR DOWNTOWN PARKING DISTRICT
AND UPDATE OF PLANNING GIS SYSTEM
In February 1993, the City Council directed staff to prepare necessary information for
development of a downtown parking district. At the Downtown Parking Commission
meeting of March 7, 1996, staff presented the Commission with a parking district
boundary map. The Commission discussed thepurpose of such a district; to generate
revenue from downtown businesses to pay for the maintenance of existing facilities and
for the construction of new parking facilities (see attached memo and map).
To determine the number of parking spaces required based on the zoning ordinance
and the number provided, a field survey is necessary. The information would then be
encoded into the city's GIS system and provide a basis for calculating parking district
fees. Jerry Happel, from Insight Mapping, has recently resigned with that firm and is
looking for short-term work - one month maximum. Without the overhead of the firm he
was with, he is willing. to work for a third of his hourly wage rate - $12.50 per hour.
To take advantage of his expertise and to get the necessary data base for a downtown
parking district and update the GIS system, I request authorization to hire Jerry Happel
for a two-week period at $12.50 per hour. Money for this expenditure is in the planning
or administration budget.
Recommendation:
Authorize to hire Jerry Happel for two weeks for a maximum of $1,000.

MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
STEVE RUSSELL, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
FEBRUARY 12, 1993
STUDY TO ESTABLISH DOWNTOWN PARKING DISTRICT
Much has been done to address the Downtown parking problem since it was first
identified in the Downtown Plan. The City has purchased land, constructed
parking lots, leased private parking for public use, reconfigured and repaved
existing public parking lots and established a Downtown Parking Commission to
oversee development and implementation of the Downtown Parking Plan. (The City
Council is currently considering appointments for the seven member
Committee. )
Down town development and intens ificati on of 1 and use a1 so continues in creas i ng
the demand for parking in the Downtown. In most cases new development that
requires additional parking can not provide the parking on site. Because of
the identified need for additional parking and the increasing demand for
parking, the City has assumed the responsibility for providing parking. Over
the last two years the following parking improvements have been made by the
City using City or TIF funds. Listed below are the projects, the number of
spaces provided and cost.
1. Purchase and improvement of MnD01 site, 100 spaces, $250,000.
2. Purchase Lind property at corner of Mu1 berry and Second Streets and
lease land from Lowell Inn for parking, 25 spaces, $120,000.
3. Improve public parking lot between Lowell Inn and Rivertown Commons, 29
spaces, $100,000.
4. Rent parking spaces from Desch Office Building, 80 spaces, $9,000/yr.
5. Rent parking spaces from CUB, 95 spaces, $6,000/yr.
6. Purchase land behind Maple Island and improve temporary parking lot, 40
spaces, $100,000.
7. Reconfigure and repave public lots behind Brines, South of Maple Island
and at the corner of Second and Olive Streets.
City TIF funds can not be used to operate or maintain the lots. Also, it may
be necessary to find funds for the purchase of the UBC site for parking.
A Downtown Parking District can provide a source of funds to maintain or
to improve Downtown parking facilities.
The Parking District Study would determine Downtown Parking District
boundaries, describe parking need/benefit and provide alternative fee
structures to provide for Downtown parking needs.
RECOMMENDATION: Direct City Staff to work with the newly formed Downtown
Parking Commission on the establishment of a Downtown Parking District.
ATTACHMENT: Map showing Downtown parking lots.
Resolution forming Downtown Parking Commission.

Re: Status of Property Tax Freeze and the omnibus tax bill
______________________________________________..._.~_"w__.~_
The conference committee on the omnibus tax bill has still not officially met since last Tuesday. The
major sticking point continues to be the Senate's property tax freeze. House conferees continue to
oppose the freeze while Senate conferees insist that they will not pass a tax bill without a property tax
freeze.
This morning, Senators Roger Moe, Doug Johnson, Dean Johnson and Bill Belanger held a press
conference to build support for the property tax freeze. They released a survey of 40 1 randomly selected
Minnesotans who were asked questions on the freeze proposal. 1he Senators claim that the survey
results clearly demonstrate public support for the freeze. I have attached a copy of the survey so that
you can understand the ridiculous and simplistic questions that were asked. According to Senator Dean
Johnson, the survey was funded by the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce, the Minnesota Business
partnet'ship and the Minnesota Realtors Association.
The press conference could be the last strong Senate push for the freeze. The 1996 legislative session is
nearing completion and there are indications that the legislature is trying to complete its work in the next
several days. The omnibus ta.x bill is one of the last major pieces of legislation that has yet to be
completed. Fortunately, there are few, if any, provisions in either the House or Senate version that must
be enacted this year. In other words, our best alternative to a bill with a freeze may be to not pass any
taX bill.
The reaction of the media to the survey and the subsequent reaction oithe House members will likely
decide the fate of the property tax freeze. House members from both parties continue to privately oppose
the freeze. Unfortunately, their opposition is not unanimously rooted in their support for local
governments. We have heard comments that at least some House members are worned about the
election in 1998 when the bill for the freeze comes due. Even though many House members oppose the
freeze, there would undoubtedly be intense political pressure to vote for a freeze if a bill or an
amendment is offered on the floor. Our top priority may be to prevent a straight vote on the freeze on the
House floor.
Ie
If the tax conference committee reconvenes, we could likely see a bill emerge that includes a freeze.
Although the governor is apparently lukewarm to a freeze, we cannot count on him to veto the bill. If a
bill with a freeze makes it to the House and Senate :floor, we may have to insist that House and Senate
members vote against the bill. Be prepared to contact your legislators. Phone calls, letters and faxes
from city officials have been successful in stalling the freeze up to this point. We may still be able to kill
the freeze entirely. Watch your fax machine for further details.

Legislature in 1995, as part of the Metropolitan Livable Communities Act. The Account is
designed to provide loans and grants to innovative land use projects that integrate housing,
transit, employment, commercial and other land uses such as community institutions.
The Council has selected four pilot projects that are solid examples of the kind of
development the Livable Communities legislation endorses and will serve as excellent
models to other communities. These projects will receive $2.3 million of available
1996 funding.
The Council will announce availability of the remaining $2.3 million (for 1996) at this
meeting, and will issue a request for proposals for awards to be announced in late 1996.

I. INTRODUCTION
~
The purpose of this Aesthetic Design Guide is to recognize the primary design elements of
the proposed reconstruction of Minnesota Trunk Highway 36 (T.H. 36) Corridor and to
consider how these elements can be organized into a comprehensive transportation solution
which promotes the enhancement of the highway corridor, and the visual quality of the
adjacent communities. The proposed project discussed in this document extends east from
the T.H. 5 interchange across the St. Croix River into Wisconsin, ending at the Wisconsin
S.T.H. 35 overpass, see Figure 1.
Through comprehensive aesthetic and architectural design consideration of highway design
elements, a safer and visually pleasurable driving experience can be created. The 4.8
kilometer (3 mile) highway corridor can also be visually and aesthetically integrated into
the adjacent communities and enhance the surrounding environment. The aesthetic design
recommendations will emphasize visual continuity throughout the corridor and provide
architectural enrichment to design elements that create a visually pleasing experience for
highway users.

AESTHETIC DESIGN GUIDE
TRUNK HIGHWAY 36 CORRIDOR
This Aesthetic Design Guide will provide highway designers, technicians, engineers,.
landscape architects, and field construction staff with the necessary visual and architectural
design recommendations and guidelines for the detailed design development of the T.H. 36
Corridor and the St. Croix River Bridge.
A major part of the T.H. 36 Corridor project is a new bridge over the St. Croix River
connecting Oak Park Heights, Minnesota to St. Joseph Township, Wisconsin. The bridge
and its approaches will greatly affect its surrounding environment and communities.
The St . Croix River is a nationally recognized scenic river bordered by high, steep bluffs
on the Wisconsin side and more gradual bluffs on the Minnesota side. Oak Park Heights is
a growing community within the suburban orbit of the Twin Cities. To the north it is
adjoined by the historic town of Stillwater, which will be within sight of the proposed
bridge. On the Wisconsin side St. Joseph Township is a rural area just beginning to feel
the pressures of suburbanization.
The bridge will cross 1216 meters (3900 feet) of water and will consist of eleven separate
spans at heights ranging from 20 m to 46 m (65' to 150'). The bridge will be 29 m (96')
wide to carry four lanes with shoulders plus an 2.4 m (8') sidewalk. Also included in the
project is a 457 m (1500') approach bridge in Oak Park Heights and a new structure
carrying Wisconsin S.T.H 35 over T.H. 36 at the edge of the Wisconsin bluff. For
westbound travelers the S.T.H. 35 bridge will frame a dramatic view of the river valley and
the Minnesota bluffs. For eastbound travelers the bridge will serve as the gateway to
Wisconsin and will frame their first views of the rolling, rural Wisconsin countryside.
Federal funding rules require that two alternate designs be prepared for the river spans,
one using steel girders and one using concrete girders. The approach spans in Oak Park
Heights will be pre-cast concrete "I" girders.
Because of the size of the bridge and the characteristics of its surroundings, aesthetic
decisions have become equally important to the structural and economic decisions that
were be made in order to successfully complete a project of this magnitude.
Prior to this design study a bridge type study was conducted for the river crossing. That
study included extensive citizen participation. It concluded that the appropriate structural
type for the river crossing would be six to eight haunched "I" girders for the steel alternate
and dual haunched box girders for the concrete alternate. Spans for each will be in the
range of 97 m (320'). Haunched girders are girders with a lower edge that is curved so that
the girders are deeper over the piers than they are at mid-span.

II. DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE PROCESS
II
The Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) serves as the lead agency in- this
project. They have made it their goal to design the most aesthetically pleasing bridge and
roadway possible. To accomplish this and to ensure the satisfaction of the people who will
be the most significantly affected by the bridge, Mn/DOT created a Design Review
Committee (DRC). The DRC consists of citizens and local agency representatives from
both Minnesota and Wisconsin. Their main responsibility is to bring forward the views of
all the various public interests involved and, in doing so, to assist Mn/DOT in creating an
attractive structure.
To assist the group in that responsibility Mn/DOT provided the assistance of Frederick
Gottemoeller, a specialist in bridge architecture and related community participation. Mr.
Gottemoeller developed alternatives for the DRC's review and assisted in the finalization
of the design concepts. Representatives of the engineering consultants, Short Elliot and
Hendrickson (SEH) and HDR Engineering, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation,
and representatives of Mn/DOT's Office of Bridge, Office of Environmental Services, and
Office of Technical Support, also participated in every DRC meeting. They provided
information and assistance to the Committee and maintained the meeting records. The
DRC was chaired by Mark Benson, Project Manager, Mn/DOT Metropolitan Division.
In addition to the work on the main river crossing bridge, the DRC reviewed proposals for
the highway corridor portion of T.H. 36 in Oak Park Heights and Stillwater. Preparation
of the proposals for this section of the project were primarily the responsibility of
Mn/DOT's Office of Environmental Services and Office of Technical Support. The
results of that effort are described in the Aesthetic Design Recommendations section of
this document.
The DRC met monthly between October 1994 and February 1996 and had a key role in the
aesthetic and architectural design decisions for the new St. Croix River bridge and the T.H.
36 Corridor design elements.

III. AESTHETIC DESIGN ELEMENTS
I)
The highway design process includes a number of disciplines, each contributing to the
quality of the highway corridor. An important aspect of the highway design process is
visual quality and aesthetics of individual design elements, which collectively must be
coordinated in a complimentary manner to provide a clear sense of order, harmony and
continuity.
The following aesthetic design elements establish the architectural and aesthetic
framework for the T.H. 36 Corridor. They are elements that most directly will affect
human perceptions concerning the relationship between the highway and the surrounding
environment. These elements include:
o
o
o
o
o
Bridges
Retaining Walls
Grading
Bike and Pedestrian Trails
Lighting
o
o
o
o
o
Signing
Historic Overlook
Wetlands and Storm Water Ponds
Landscaping
Park and Ride Transit Facility
Collectively, these aesthetic recommendations will create the desired visual expression of
the highway corridor. Application of these corridor-specific architectural guidelines should
be fully integrated with the engineering requirements of the highway design.
The aesthetic and architectural design recommendations in this document are developed to
work as guidelines for final design development. They are recommendations that outline
typical design and detail situations for various design elements. Throughout each phase of
design and construction, exceptional situations may arise in which a standard solution is
not applicable. Specific design and detail situations should be assessed individually so that
approved design alternatives harmonize with the project as a whole. Design modifications
and alternatives to aesthetic recommendations should be coordinated with the
Environmental Studies Unit, Office of Environmental Services, and the Site Development
Unit, Office of Technical Support.
The following T.H. 36 Corridor map foldouts, Figures 2.1 through 2.6, identify the
proposed roadway geometry and alignment, as well as the locations of bridge structures,
retaining walls, bike and pedestrian trails, traffic and interpretive signing, traffic signals
and lighting, the transit facility, landscaping, and wetlands and storm water ponds.

BRIDGES AND STRUCTURES
II
Bridge structures are typically the strongest visual and physical design elements in
transportation corridors. Once a highway corridor, bridge or interchange is constructed, it
becomes a prominent landscape feature that immediately changes the character of the
physical environment. Designers must understand these changes and incorporate aesthetic
values into the designs of bridges and highway corridors so that compatibility with the
surrounding areas and community result.
Short-span structures, like the T.H. 5 and the S.T.H. 35 bridges, are common parts ofthe
larger transportation system in which individual structures are designed to complement the
existing environment. Complementary use of materials and architectural treatments that
exhibit strong visual character and quality will help to achieve consistency and an attractive
appearance within the highway corridor.
Long-span bridges, like the new St. Croix River bridge, can either blend with the
surrounding environment or become prominent engineering "landmark" statements.
Blending the new I.H. 36 bridge structure into its river setting is an important aesthetic
consideration of this project.
The design of all three of the T.H. 36 Corridor bridges of this project should also be
developed in accordance with the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnlDOT)
Aesthetic Guidelines for Bridge Design manual recently completed and available from the
Office of Bridge and Structures.
MINNESOTA TRUNK HIGHWAY 5 BRIDGE
When traveling east on T.H. 36 toward the St. Croix River, the T.H. 5 bridge structure is
the first interchange structure encountered after 1-694. The T.H. 5 bridge rises above T.H.
36 and acts as a distinct break between the rolling topography to the west and the Stillwater
and Oak Park Heights commercial areas and scenic St. Croix River valley.

AESTHETIC DESIGN GUIDE
TRUNK HIGHWAY 36 CORRIDOR
. Structure Type
It is recommended that the T.H. 5 structure be designed as a "gateway" type bridge that
will introduce the traveler into the Stillwater and Oak Park Heights communities. The
proposed aesthetic design elements of the T.H. 5 structure need to be carefully coordinated
in a complementary manner providing a clear sense of order, harmony and continuity. It is
intended that the aesthetic design of this structure complement the existing building
architecture of the surrounding community, see Figures 3 and 4.

Figure 4. T.H. 5 Bridge West-side Elevation
The T.H. 5 bridge will be a 2-span, prestressed concrete girder structure spanning 100 m
(330'). The design of the bridge should exhibit good balance, scale and proportion.
. Abutments
Abutments define the beginning and the end of a bridge and receive the superstructure
loadings at the ends of the structure. Visually they provide the transition between the
structure and adjacent land masses. Their prominence depends on their height and length,
as determined by the contour grading of the flanking slopes.
The scale of the bridge abutment should correspond as closely as possible to the
proportional relationships as shown in Figure 5. The abutment size and scale should
remain the same at each end of the structure for good visual balance. Accordingly, slope
embankments and adjacent grading may require adjustments to emphasize this balance.
Abutments will be vertical. A cast stone concrete mask wall should be used to conceal the
bearing assemblies and to improve the balance of the composition. Construction joints
should be detailed to be inconspicuous.

Figure 5. T.R. 5 Bridge Abutment Details
The architectural surface treatments for the abutments will be brick, stained concrete and
cast-stone concrete. A 1200 mm (48") tall cast-in-place concrete base will create a solid
foundation, which will receive stain finish. A brick veneer, using 100 mm X 100 mm X
400 mm (4" X 4" X 16") "jumbo" brick units will set on a concrete bench sill over the base
foundation. A 300 mm (12") smooth formed cast-in-place concrete "band" top sill will
receive a stained finish in a light contrasting color. The top cast-in-place 600 mm (24")
high sill will receive a covering of 75 mm (3") thick cast stone, creating a coherent "top"
for the abutment. Banding of the same brick face texture material, but in a contrasting
color, will provide harmony and interest. Brick colors will be in the natural or earthtone
color ranges. The brick surfaces should be finished with a clear "breathable" protective
sealcoat product. Specifications for color finishing and product specification can obtained
from the Office of Technical Support, Site Development Unit.

. Piers and Pier Caps
Piers function in the transfer of the loadings carried by horizontal superstructure bridge
members. Successful pier designs clearly express and emphasize this function. The
concrete pier columns will be vertical with pier cap ends being designed flush with the
vertical columns. The scale of the pier column should relate as closely as possible to the
proportional relationships as shown in Figure 6. Standard size and proportion are shown
for scale relationships, final design may dictate detail modifications.
Figure 6. T.H. 5 Bridge Multi-column Pier
The pier column and cap will receive the same brick, cast-stone concrete, and concrete
architectural surface treatments in the same proportional relationships as the abutments, as
described in the Abutment section.

. Railing Systems
Railings are of great importance both visually and functionally on bridge structures
because they form the upper horizontal profile of the bridge. The term "railing" will be
used in this section to describe the concrete barrier along the edge of the deck and on the
top of the abutment. Collectively, these elements form the railing system of the bridge and
have major impact on the overall appearance of the structure. When cantilevered beyond
the face of the support girders, the railing system becomes even more visually prominent.
The T.H. 5 bridge vehicular and pedestrian railing will be detailed as shown in Figure 7
and 8.
.:. Vehicular Railing
The inside face of the concrete parapet will be a vehicular "l" type traffic barrier formed
adjacent to the lanes of travel. The outside face will contain a 100 mm (4") wide top-cap
edge with 25 mm (1 ") reveal on the outside edge and a 400 mm (16") wide inset panel
with a 25 mm (1 ''}-reveal. Evenly spaced vertical pilasters with 25 mm (1 ") inset panel
will be formed on the outside face of the barrier.

.:. Pedestrian Railing
The bridge will have a 3.1 m (10') pedestrian sidewalk which will connect to existing
community trails in Stillwater and Oak Park Heights. Pedestrians crossing the bridge will
be protected by a vehicular "]" traffic barrier. Both pedestrian side face and the outside
face of the concrete parapet will have a 100 mm (4") wide top-cap with 25 mm (1 ") reveal
and a 400 mm (16") wide inset panel with a 25 mm (1 ") reveal. The top-cap of the
concrete parapet will be cast stone concrete. Evenly spaced vertical concrete pilaster
columns will intersect both the parapet and metal railing. Each pilaster column will have a
25mm (1 ") inset reveal panels on both the pedestrian and "outside" of the column. The top
of the pilaster column will be finished with a 75 mm (3") cast stone concrete cap edge and
sloped top. The inside face of the concrete parapet should be vertical and smooth formed.
The pedestrian concrete walk should be scored and finished with a light surface texture.

. Lighting
Architectural lighting units will be placed on the concrete railings and should be designed
as a component within the entire railing system.
The recommended lighting units for the T.H. 5 bridge are single mast light standards with
a shoebox style luminaire with cut-off and no shield, see Figure 10. The light standards
will be 9.1 m (30') tall with a 1200 mm (48") mast arm overhang at 900 to the pole. The
light units will be placed on the top of the concrete pilaster columns on both east and west
sides of the bridge. Conduit should be designed within the concrete parapet railings.

All exposed concrete surfaces will receive a Architectural Texture Coating System. The
coating is intended to even out irregularities, while providing surface protection and a
unifying color blend, as per applicable MnlDOT specifications. The color of the coating
system for the girders, concrete pedestrian and vehicular railings, and the exposed concrete
of the abutments, will be Gray Modified conforming to TK Products color number TK-
5342, Y 420P. Construction joints should be located as inconspicuously as possible.
The metal pedestrian railing will be dark gray charcoal in color, conforming to Federal
Standard 595B Color No. 36076. The protective vinyl-cladding should be black in color.
All bridge lighting units will be stainless steel or aluminum. The color of the lighting units
placed on the T.H. 5 bridge should be coordinated with the metal railing system of the
structure. The color will be dark gray charcoal, conforming to Federal Standard 595B
Color No. 36076.
Finishing Specific~tons should include requiremetns for paint finish sample applications
for all colors for review and approval by MnlDOT prior to final paint or surface
applications.
Specifications for color finishing and product specification can obtained from the Office of
Technical Support, Site Development Unit.

ST. CROIX RIVER BRIDGE
The DRC articulated that the primary goal for the T.H. 36 St. Croix River Bridge was to
design a bridge that will be an asset to the scenic river valley. Within this overarching goal
the DRC identified the following Design Goals:
}> To design a bridge that relates to the site with respect to the natural formations and
randomness of the environment's landscape features.
}> To design a bridge which has a sense of transparency and therefore does not
interfere with the beauty of the site.
}> To design a bridge that integrates the flowing shapes of the haunched girders with
the pier designs.
}> To design a bridge that emphasizes the light and shadows caused by the sunlight in
the area and the orientation of the bridge.
}> To design a bridge which has detail and interest at the close-up view as well as at
the distant view, and which avoids large, plain surfaces and masses.
}> To design a transition span which integrates the main river bridge and the approach
spans, creates a continuous horizontal line, and avoids any abrupt changes.
In discussions about the image of the bridge there was consensus about making the
structure transparent and simple, so that the existing landscape is more the center of
attention than the bridge. The DRC emphasized that the natural features of the St. Croix
Valley (rock outcroppings and wooded areas) should be the sources of design themes.
Light and shade are also themes that should be emphasized.
. Structure Type and Alternatives
As the federal government requires that both a concrete and a steel alternative be
developed, the DRC reviewed and discussed ideas for both separately. However, the
design goals remain consistent for both. At several points during the study the DRC
emphasized its concern that the two alternatives be of comparable aesthetic quality so that
a choice can reasonably be made on cost alone, see Figures 12 and 13.

. Abutments - River and Approach Structures
The abutments for the river and approach structures were not a part of the DRC discussion.
The abutment on the Wisconsin side is hidden in the natural draw that the roadway uses to
reach the top of the Wisconsin bluff and will not be visible from any of the important
viewpoints, even in the winter. It is designed as a plain concrete structure. The Minnesota
abutments at T.H. 95 are placed near the top of their embankments and are relatively small
structures compared to the size and extent of the approach bridges. Most of their exposed
surfaces have been given a vertical fractured fin finish in order to create a random texture
which will tie into adjacent landscaping. Since these abutments are not visible from T.H.
36 it was not thought necessary to develop any relationship with the finishes used for the
T.H. 5 structure.
. Pier Columns for River Crossing
.:. Concrete Alternate
Of the various options presented, the DRC chose the rounded version of the split shaft pier
because it is the most transparent and creates the best opportunities for the interplay of
light and shadow.
The piers for the concrete alternates are made of split shafts resting on short cylindrical ice
breakers. Each half of the shaft is curved slightly in plan, like a section of a cylinder. At
their tops each half shaft splits again to form two projections with a void between. The
shafts thicken slightly as they near the girder and twist to blend into the sides of the girder.
This gives the shafts the appearance of having a slight flare, see Figure 14.
.:. Steel Alternate
Of the various options explored, the DRC decided on a simple, flared pattern with a
rounded edge. The grooves of the pattern come together in the shaft portion of the piers.
The DRC agreed to end the grooves 1.8 m (6') short ofthe water as a visual indication of
the base of the pier and to avoid interference with river ice.
The double piers for the steel alternates flare as they rise and then join in the center of the
structure just before reaching the girders. This provides a continuous top surface to carry
all seven girders. Each girder rests on a raised bearing pad that holds the girders clear of
the pier top. The faces of the piers have wide recesses between the bearings which further
accentuate the points at which the girder loads are carried, see Figure 15.

. Pier Columns for Approach Spans
The basic issues in the design of the approach piers is that the pre-cast girders of the
approach spans are different in shape and layout than either the steel "I" girders or concrete
box girders of the river spans. The layout requirements are similar in some respects to the
steel river spans, in that multiple girders must be supported. However, there are many
more of them: 19 for the approaches versus 7 for the river spans.
Since the approach spans and the river spans will be seen together from some vantage
points, particularly from the river and the future boat landing under the approaches, the
DRC felt that it is important to develop designs that are consistent with both the concrete
box girders and the steel plate girders.
Several variations of concrete piers were presented to the committee. The main
differences were in the retention of the void under the pier cap, and the shape of the pier
cap itself. After some discussion the DRC decided on a design which retained the void
and used rounded shapes for the ends of the pier caps.
.:. Concrete Alternate
The faces of the shafts for the approach piers for the concrete alternate are concave to
reflect the cylindrical faces of the river pier shafts. The edges of the shafts have a deep
vertical groove to reflect the split in the river pier shafts. There is a void at the top of the
shaft similar in proportion to the void in the river piers. This divides the shaft into two
projections which support the transverse pier cap. The cap tapers so that the ends of the
cap are thinner than the middle. The ends of the cap are rounded to reflect the rounded
comers of the river crossing girders.
.:. Steel Alternate
The approach piers for the steel alternate are very similar to the river piers for this
alternate. They have the same flaring shape as the river piers, with a similar pattern made
up of three flaring grooves.
There are significant differences with the river piers. The approach piers are much smaller
and the grooves are not as deep. The top of the girder is more even with less pronounced
bearing pads because the more numerous precast girders do not always match up with the
projections like the girders do on the river span. Because the mainline spans of the
approaches have an even number of girders, the piers do not join together at the center of
the structure as the river piers do.

. Railing Systems
.:. Vehicular Railings
The vehicular railing is formed by the concrete parapet on the eastbound side of the
mainline and on the ramps. This parapet has a curved face to reflect the rounded shapes
used elsewhere on the piers. The parapet is separated from the deck slab with a recessed
text construction joint which provides a shadow line and also allows for the slip-forming of
the parapet. The bottom edge of the deck slab is also rounded.
.:. Pedestrian Railings
The major feature of the selected pedestrian rail is made up of four rectangular steel bars
formed into a fan shape, recalling the flared grooves of the steel alternate piers. This
feature repeats regularly. The repeating elements are separated from each other by groups
of smaller vertical square bars. Because the flared elements are thicker than the vertical
bars they are more prominent from most angles, giving the railing a lively appearance, see
Figure 16.

The overlooks are sized to provide sufficient room for a seating area with a bench, and to
provide in addition for standers and for several bicycles. The paving of the overlooks will
be differentiated from the walkways with color and pattern. The paving of the walkways
will be scored transversely to provide a pattern that will give it a more pedestrian scale, see
Figure 16.
The overlooks on the concrete alternate will be supported by large concrete brackets cast
into the girder at the piers. The brackets will line up with the halves of the split piers, see
Figure 17. The overlooks for the steel alternates will be supported by struts fanning out
from the girder bearing in a pattern parallel to the stiffners on the girders, see Figure 18.

. Lighting
In order to coordinate with lighting used in the Oak Park Heights and Stillwater sections of
the corridor the DRC decide to recommend use of a sharp cutoff fixture in a rectangular
shoe box housing. The poles will have squared-off arms and will be aluminum in color,
see Figure 16.
The DRC decided on aluminum color for the poles on the bridge, as per MnlDOT
Specifcation 3811, because they will be less visible against the sky. This will require a
transition at the S.T.H. 95 interchange with the fixtures used on the other portion of T.H.
36, which are architectural dark brown in color. The aluminum poles will be introduced on
the ramps to and from the east, and substituted for the dark brown fixtures on the mainline
at the points where these ramps join the mainline. Since the bulk of the approach structure
is hidden from T.H. 95 by an embankment, the point of change will not be visible from
T.H. 95. All of the poles visible from T.H. 95 will be dark brown.
. Finishes
The exterior webs and overhangs of the concrete girders of the river spans will be coated
with a pearl grey special surface finish, a color which approximates the natural concrete
but will be more uniform. The fascia girders of the steel girder alternate will be painted
blue-gray, as per MnlDOT Specificaiton 2478. The pedestrian railings of both alternatives
will be painted blue-gray, as per MnlDOT Specificaiton 2478. The exteriors of all of the
concrete parapets will be coated with pearl grey.
All other surfaces of the structures, including the concrete piers for both river crossings
and approaches and the precast concrete approach girders, will be left in their natural state.
Finishing Specificaitons should include requiremetns for paint finish sample applications
for all colors for review and approval by MnlDOT prior to final paint or surface
applications.
Specifications for color finishing and product specification can obtained from the Office of
Technical Support, Site Development Unit.

The abutments for S.T.H. 35 are a major factor in creating the visual impression of this
structure. They will be faced in concrete formed to replicate fieldstone with the range of
colors typical of the fieldstone found in the area. Inset portions of the abutment form seats
for the arched steel girder. These beam seats will be unfinished concrete. The fascia
girders and the bottom flanges of the interior girders will be painted dark gray.

RETAINING WALLS
II
The two retaining walls in the T.H. 36 Corridor should be designed so that they are :
perceived as strong architectural and visual elements. Their visual significance is related
to the overall wall height and length and their relationship to other highway elements. The
blending of the retaining wall structures with its setting is also an important consideration.
Measures that influence compatibility include size, architectural surface treatment, and
overall visual presentation. Structures that have a high visibility or are located in an area
of visual, historic and cultural significance, warrant more attention to aesthetic design to
insure integration into the existing environment.
The proposed T.H. 36 corridor roadway alignment descends sharply from the existing
grade at Osgood A venue, requiring two retaining walls to be built on the north side of the
highway. See Figure 2 Foldouts for locations. Both walls, with approximate maximum
heights of 7.6 m (25'), will become strong visual elements along the north edge of the
highway corridor. It is important that appropriate architectural treatment considerations be
incorporated into the retaining wall designs so that the structures complement the
community and corridor, and are compatible with other architectural design
recommendations.
Architectural form liner surface treatments will create interest in the concrete walls,
blending physical features into the surrounding environment, while providing visual
continuity within the T.H. 36 corridor. The two retaining walls for this project will be a
single face, linear design, as shown in typical elevation Figure 20.

The profiles ofthe top of wall should slope and follow the grade oftheroadway as much as
possible. The alignment of each wall should establish uniform slopes and smooth vertical
curves along the entire length of each wall segment. Broken back slopes and severely
angled wall sections and connections should be avoided. Grading should be considered for
reducing wall heights where ever possible. The end of wall segments should transition
cleanly into the embankments. See Figure 21 for typical retaining wall design section.

GRADING
~
The merging of the highway into existing terrain and landforms is accomplished primarily
by grading. Although vegetation also plays an important part, it is the grading that creates
the basic land forms upon which all subsequent landscaping rests. The design engineer
needs to recognize that conventionally graded slopes, using only cross-sections, can be
characterized by planar slope surfaces with constant gradients. Most slopes in nature
consist of complex landforms with vegetation patterns that are in balance with hillside
hydro geology. Landform graded slopes which attempt to mimic natural hillsides,
landforms, and adjacent topography patterns, are more desirable to enhance the visual and
aesthetic impact of the highway corridor within the surrounding communities. If the
grading is well-designed and executed, the highway corridor can have a pleasing overall
appearance.
. . Blending
The most importanl element affecting the highway's appearance is the steepness of the cut
and fill slopes and the manner in which they are shaped and rounded to merge with the
natural terrain. Visually, road slopes are transition areas between the free forms of nature
and the regular geometry of the highway. This transition can be gracefully accomplished
by warping and rounding all slopes into the existing land forms and topography. Properly
designed and executed, the desired shape should approximate the "S" curve form of
nature, such as that produced by erosion and weathering over a long period of time, see
Figure 23. Designers should plan road alignments and grading to fit into the character of
the surrounding land, so that massive grading can be minimized and the highway setting
appears natural and does not appear to be forced upon the adjacent natural land forms.

. Vegetation Clearing
Whenever practical, avoid disturbing large or highly visible trees and their root systems.
The presence of large size trees and vegetation masses will increase the sense of
permanence in the highway corridor. All design modifications and alternatives affecting
existing vegetation should be coordinated with the Forestry Unit, Office of Environmental
Services.
. Landforms
Landforms should be designed so that they appear natural and blend smoothly with
adjacent topography. Berms for noise abatement and screening views are preferred to
design solutions involving walls, fences, and other structures. Large landforms will be
used parallel and east of the new alignment of T.H. 95, between the highway and the
Sunnyside Marina development. A well planned contour layout for landforms is essential.

BIKE AND PEDESTRIAN TRAILS
II
The urban bicycling population today, consists of people of all ages who use bicycles. for
exercise, transportation, recreation, and as an alternative to motorized transportation. It
should be assumed that bicycles will be ridden on or along all highways where they are
permitted. All new roadways, except those where bicyclists will not be legally prohibited,
should be designed and constructed under the assumption that they will be used by
bicycles. Designers should give special attention to providing safe bicycle facilities in
school zones, within residential areas, and along routes connecting ball fields and
neighborhood parks.
The construction of new pedestrian and bicycle facilities within the project corridor and/or
connections to existing community bicycle systems also offers the opportunity to establish
design components which can be instrumental in developing aesthetic continuity along
these routes. Consistent lane widths, paths separated from streets and supplemental
pedestrian/bicyclist amenities are essential in an overall effort to promote safety and blend
facilities into the community. An attractive, visually pleasing facility will encourage use,
decrease vandalism, and create a positive image. This image will carry over as a good
impression of both the transportation system and the community.
The design of all bicycle facilities within the T.H. 36 Corridor should be developed in
accordance with the Minnesota Department of Transportation Bicycle Transportation
Planning and Design Guidelines manual, available from MnlDOT's Office of Investment
Management. The design should also be developed in accordance with bicycle plans
developed by the local government authority.
The reconstruction of the T.H. 36 Corridor will improve bike and pedestrian movement
throughout the surrounding communities. See Figure 2 Foldouts for specific locations of
bike and pedestrian trails and Figure 24 for typical trail design sections.

CORRIDOR LIGHTING
II
While the primary function of highway lighting is to assist in guidance and navigation
tasks required to travel safely, an orderly and visually pleasing lighting design also
contributes to the architectural and visual success of an urban highway corridor. For this
reason, lighting elements also need to be aesthetically coordinated.
The recommended lighting to be used for the T.H. 36 Corridor will be outside shoulder
mounted, single mast light standards, shoebox style luminaire with cut-off and no shield,
see Figure 25. The highway corridor light standards will be 10.6 m (35') tall with a 1.8 m

SIGNING
II
The aesthetic element of signing design also requires coordination during the highway
design process. The primary function of traffic signing is to ensure highway safety by
providing for orderly and predictable movement of all traffic throughout the highway
system. It must also be recognized that the location and placement of signs and major
signing structures in the T.H. 36 Corridor will affect the appearance of the structures upon
which they are placed, as well as the visual quality relationships with other highway design
elements.
. Placement
On vehicular structures, sign panel heights should be proportioned to fit the depth of
structure whenever possible and practical. The T.H. 5 bridge will be designed to
architecturally complement the surround building architecture and will include a brick
masonry veneer and ornamental railings. It is intended to be the Oak Park Heights and
Stillwater "gateway" image. It is recommended that signing not be placed on the T.H. 5
bridge.
Signing structures and directional sign panels located on city streets should be similar in
design and treatment to street signing devices used by the various communities through
which the T.H. 36 Corridor passes.
When sign placement requires more than one sign panel or one structure, uniform sign
panel heights should be provided so that the height of all signs is the same.
. Interpretation
Since the T.H. 36 corridor acts as a gateway into the St. Croix National Scenic River, as
well as entrances for the States of Minnesota and Wisconsin, greater importance will be
given to signing interpretation opportunities and locations.

. State Entrance Signing
A Type I "Welcome to Minnesota" entrance sign is proposed to be placed along the
westbound T.H. 36 Corridor in the vicinity of retaining wall "A". Further study will
examine design and layout options. Wisconsin has also proposed placement of a
"Welcome to Wisconsin" sign in the eastbound T.H. 36 Corridor, in the vicinity of the
S.T.H. 35 bridge.
. St. Croix National River Signing
State and Federal agencies have expressed interest in interpretive signing to mark the

highlight and accent the significance of the environmental resources of this region.
MnlDOT and Wis/DOT will continue to work with these agencies to examine potential
design ideas and lqcations.

The City of Oak Park Heights may further explore the design of a unique "welcome" city
entrance sign, located just off of the T.H. 36 Corridor right-of-way. The final design and
construction of this sign would be initiated and directed by the City of Oak Park Heights.

WETLANDS AND STORM WATER PONDS
II
Wetlands and drainage ponds are important for ground water recharge, flood control and
storage, sediment trapping, nutrient removal, wildlife habitat and visual quality, and
constitute an important part of the design features of the T.H. 36 Corridor. Pond
placement will be determined by a drainage system analysis conducted as part of the final
design process. In addition to basic engineering requirements, these ponds should be
designed to provide an aesthetic advantage for the highway corridor. This will include
grading designed to blend wetland and pond features with character of the surrounding
terrain.
Proposed pond locations are as follows: one storm water pond each in the northwest and
southwest quadrant of the intersection of Oakgreen A venue/Greely A venue; one storm
water pond under the river crossing bridge to accommodate water runoff specifically from
the bridge; several storm water ponds to the southeast of the T.H. 36/95 interchange; and
several mitigation wetlands outside the project construction limits in the Bayport Wildlife
Management Area, southeast ofT.H. 36 and Oakgreen Avenue. See Figure 2 Foldouts
for locations.
Consistent with MnlDOT policies for preparing and processing projects involving wetland
impacts, an assessment should be conducted in cooperation with Metro Division
Hydraulics and the Office of Environmental Services. The MnlDOT Wildlife Biologist
and Hydrologist should be contacted to ensure adequate wetland mitigation features and
provide coordination with other coordinating agencies as required.
The comprehensive landscape plan discussed under the Landscaping Section should also
include all major ponds and wetlands created by this project. Planting will improve the
quality and function of the ponds and wetlands involved, as well as their physical and
visual relationship with the surrounding environment.

LANDSCAPING
II
Plant material can create interest, provide accent, enhance and offer visual continuity.-
through foliage, color, texture, and variety. In addition to these aesthetic considerations,
plants aid in controlling erosion, increase wildlife diversity, moderate microclimate
extremes, reduce pollution levels, screen unwanted views and objects, and delineate
roadway, ramp, and right-of-way edges. Highway landscaping is an urban requirement
and should not be perceived as a decorative afterthought.
Landscaping is the final highway construction element employed and is intended to help
integrate the T.H. 36 Corridor with the surrounding neighborhoods and communities.
Plant material will greatly enhance the aesthetics of the roadway corridor.
Areas to receive proposed landscaping are shown in Figure 2 Foldouts.
The following landscaping recommendations will be incorporated into the T.H. 36
Corridor:
.:. Prior to developing plans for grading and surfacing, the MnlDOT Forestry Unit
should be consulted to determine what existing plant material is worth preserving
or transplanting, especially in the impacted Oak Park Heights residential areas.
Preserving and transplanting existing plants is cost effective and yields an
immediate visual advantage associated with large plants. This can be hindered by
narrow right-of-way, construction timing and practices, and available desirable
vegetation.
.:. Nursery grown plant materials will be used to enhance and blend the T.H. 36
corridor into the adjacent landscape. Nursery stock should be compatible with any
preserved or transplanted vegetation. Plant material used for highway. landscaping
can be grouped into six basic plant types:
}> Evergreens
0.9 m to 7.6 m (3' to 25') high
Evergreens provide accent and special definition through their unique shapes and
year round color. Evergreen trees can be used to establish a total privacy screen or
a simple buffer strip. These plants should be carefully located along the corridor
due to their susceptibility to the harsh environment.

}> Shade Trees
7.6 m (25') and over
Shade trees will be important in delineating the roadway and screening large scale
views to and from the roadway. Trees cool by providing shade and offer wind
abatement and erosion control. In addition to functional aspects, they provide
continuity, color, texture, and enhance, frame, and enclose wide open spaces by
creating a more human scale.
}> Half Trees
7.6 m (25') and under
These trees possess the same basic characteristic as the above group. The
differences appear in the mature heights. When fully grown, their size
complements the human scale. They are best used in or adjacent to pedestrian
areas or in utility corridors where full size trees interfere with overhead lines.
Many species produce colorful flower and fruit.
}> Shrubs
0.9 m to 4.6 m (3' to 15') high
Shrubs provide scale, color, fragrance, and help integrate the roadway into adjacent
residential areas. Shrubs should play an important role in delineating the corridor
and can lessen the visual scale of imposing physical elements along the corridor.
They are best used in mass plantings for an effective visual impact and if tall, can
screen undesirable views and headlight glare.
}> Groundcovers
0.1 m to 0.6 m (4" to 24") high
Groundcovers provide an effective means for stabilizing soils and controlling
erosion on highway slopes due to their spreading and profuse rooting habits. Their
uniform height eliminates the need for mowing thereby reducing future
maintenance costs. Groundcovers can be colorful, have interesting textures, and
maintain desirable views because of their low height.

}> Native GrassesIWildflowers
0.2 m to 1.8 m (6" to 72") high
Native prairie plants can provide erosion control with their deep, extensive root
systems. The flowers and grasses add color and texture. Grown with the intention
of never needing mowing, like groundcovers, they lower maintenance costs.
Wildflowers and grasses provide diverse, self-sustaining plant communities that
enhance wildlife habitats where their appearance is deemed appropriate.
.:. The T.H. 36 corridor landscaping will be designed to create a strong visual effect,
wherever possible. A balance of trees and shrubs will be used to highlight and
delineate the corridor and provide visual diversity.
.:. Plant material species and variety selection will be diverse to promote longevity,
interest, and eliminate disease and insect problems associated with plant
monocultures. Material selected will have strong growth habits and a tolerance for
salt, air pollution, soil compaction, and other adverse corridor impacts.
.:. The T.H. 5/36 and T.H. 36/95 interchanges will be planted more heavily due to
their scale and significance. The T.H. 36/95 interchange will be westbound
motorists first introduction to Minnesota after crossing the St. Croix River and will
receive a high level of landscaping as a State of Minnesota entrance. The T.H.
5/36 interchange, as the eastbound gateway to the St. Croix National Scenic River,
will also receive a high level of landscaping to soften the impacts of the roadway.
The preliminary planting plan identifies the level of landscaping required to enhance the
T.H. 36 corridor and blend it into the surrounding environment. Typicallandscape
corridor treatments and the types of plant material that can be used, are illustrated and
described on the following pages. Exact number, locations, and varieties of plant material
will be determined during the final landscaping design. Final landscape Contracts will be
dependent on funding availability.
The highway landscaping proposed for this project can be grouped into five basic type, see
Figures 26 through 30. The examples are conceptual types of typical corridor
landscaping which will be appropriate for this urban highway corridor section of T.H. 36.

PARK AND RIDE TRANSIT FACILITY
~.
Park and ride sites provide convenient transit access for suburban residents and serve.as
transfer points where bus routes that serve an area meet. Ideally, park and ride lots should
be located in areas providing safe, convenient, and accessible roadways for the express bus
rider who chooses to drive to a lot to obtain service. To be successful, these sites must
include sufficient space for car parking, good pedestrian and vehicular circulation, be
pedestrian-friendly and demonstrate a pleasant appearance within the local community.
Final design of the transit facilities within the T.H. 36 Corridor will be developed in
accordance with the Guidelinesfor the Design of Transit Related Roadway Improvements
manual available from the Public Facilities Office, Metropolitan Council Transit
Operations agency.
The design of the park and ride transit facility will be developed by MnlDOT in
cooperation with the Metropolitan Council Transit Operations, with input from the Cities
of Oak Park Heights and Stillwater.
. Visual Elements
All design elements should be selected to provide an acceptable architectural and visual fit
within the community and encourage development patterns that encourage transit use.
Vehicle and parking area pavements, curbs, ramps, grade separations, loading platforms,
pedestrian pavements, planting materials, shelters, signing, lighting, and comfort
amenities, such as benches, bicycle racks, trash receptacles and newspaper vending
devices, all contribute to the development of a public facility and must be comprehensively
designed to reflect a positive image of the communities, the transit system and the T.H. 36
Corridor.
. Accessibility
All pedestrian access within these sites must comply with the guidelines of the Americans
With Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of
disability. Building construction, if provided, must also comply with provisions of the
Minnesota Building Code.
