CITY OF STILLWATER On the morning of June 27th I returned to Stillwater and upon entering my house at 200 Deerpath I smelled a foul odor. I found the lower level living room and bedroom carpeting soaked with sewage/water and the bathroom linoleum covered with 1/8" dark brown substance. I contacted Mr. Richard Goulet, general manager of Rainbow International Carpet Cleaning Co., on June 28th. Mr. Goulet inspected the damage and cautioned urgent carpet removal and proper disposal along with the cleaning and sealing of the cement floor. After meeting with Richard Goulet I called Washington County Health Services and talked to Pete Ganzel asking for advice and potential health risks. He advised me to have the carpet discarded and cement cleaned properly. On June 29th I asked Dave Junker to look at the damages and he requested I fill out a claim form and proceed with cleaning up. At the time of the damage I was uninsured by my home owner's policy. The sewage/flood coverage was not added to the policy because I was unaware of this backup problem when I purchased the house in '91. This system needs a check valve or if one is already in place it needs to be inspected on a regular basis. I do not believe the home owner should be liable for a system that has failed in the past and now again on June 26, 1995. Subsequently, I have added the sewage/flood coverages to my home owner's policy. Listed below are the bills that have accrued : 1. Rainbow International Carpet and Cleaning 2. New carpeting and instillation (this is a direct replacement of the carpeting that was removed). 3. Moving and cleaning - two people at $15.00 for six hours. 4. Sheet rock damage and repair.

Stillwater Public Library 1995 Capital Budget At its meeting on July 11, 1995t the Board of Trustees voted to send the capital items on the attached page to the City Council for the release of funds. All of the items were requested by the library and approved by the Council in our 1995 budget request. We anticipate requesting the release of funds for the remaining items in our 1995 capital budget in September. .. ,". . . . I.~ " Stillwater Public Library 1995 Capital Budget (part 1 *) Services CD ROM Workstation $41 91 This workstation is designated for the Reference Department. We have a list of very useful CD ROM reference sources compiled and waiting for the workstation. 3 Public Access Catalog Terminals 930 At the end of August, we will institute limited access to reference services on the Internet through our automated system. Two of these public access terminals will be dedicated to this use and one will be for access to the full text of 650 periodicals on line. 2 Public Access Catalog Printers 700 We will institute full text access to periodicals early this fall. Patrons will find this a great help in research, but only if they can print the results. (We plan to charge for copies.) 2 Receipt Printers 908 Receipt printers at the check out desks will allow us to give patrons a list of the items that they have checked out and the date due as they are checking out. We hope that this will result in an earlier return of materials. 2 Ergonomic chairs 330 Two staff chairs in the workroom will be replaced with chairs with better ergonomic design. Reupholster lounge chairs 5200 All of the 13 lounge chairs in the library are badly worn. we will purchase replacement fabric and reupholster the chairs. Plant ADA Compliance $4000 Portions of the reference and circulation desks will be lowered to make check out, check in, and negotiation of reference questions easier for children and people with disabilities. Stained Glass Repair 5800 Almost all of the stained glass windows are buckling and need repair and cleaning. Starting with those in the worst condition, the windows will be removed, cleaned, and resealed. Dehumidifier 202 The lower level of the library is humid in the summer. The dehumidifier will help pro.tect materials and make staff and patrons more comfortable · Staff is still working to identify the remaining "'products in our 1995 capital budget (office computer, typewriter, electronic notification system upgrade, telephone system, attic drainage pans) ,'. 3 ~ . . . . . . - , MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Council Allen O. Zepper, Building OffiCi~ FROM: SUBJECT: Request to Purchase Notebook Computer DATE: July 13, 1995 When Tennison Company did their survey, they recommended that City Hall become automated to improve proficiency and efficiency. Research with other inspection departments and other governmental agencies have indicated to us that one of the most effective ways to accomplish this is through the use of a notebook computer, which can be carried with us in the vehicle. This will allow us immediate access to determine if there is a permit issued for a specific address. The present system requires us to record an address when we notice a job in progress without a permit card posted, when we return to the office we must manually look in the address file, which is in another room, the 3 X 5 card file, which is upstairs, or the unfiled permits (they are filed monthly). Ifwe do not find a permit of record, we must look up the current homeowner's name in the Public Works office and send a certified letter to them requesting that they come into secure the proper permits or go back out to the job site to ask the homeowner or contractor to secure the permit. Often we must send out second and third notices to the homeowner when the choose to ignore the first letter. This becomes time consuming and difficult, because on roofs, decks, and other small projects, the project is often completed before we are able to contact the homeowner. Another benefit would be to not replace Shirley Montbriand, the part-time secretarial help we had, because we can log each inspection as we make them, then at the end of the day we would be able to transfer all of the information from the notebook computer to the desktop computer in the office for permanent record. This eliminates the necessity for manual paper work such as the 3 X 5 inspection card index, tallying the daily inspection logs at the end of the month and other data for our monthly reports. With all of the information logged daily on a computer, we would be able to run reports on a daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly basis or at any time with the push of a few buttons rather than manually going through many files in different locations and compiling the information. The savings generated from eliminating the necessity of hiring a replacement part-time secretary for approximately 16 hours per week at $15.00 per hour would be about $11,500 per year, plus the hours we spend logging in and/or searching the files, which could easily equal that figure. If other departments need to do computer work at home (e.g., financial reports, etc.), this computer would be readily available for their use. This computer would also compatible with all of the current printers we now have so the work could either be printed the next morning or the printer taken home with the notebook, eliminating the need of transferring the entire desktop computer home or working extra hours at the office. The building permit software necessary is already in next year's budget. This software would be compatible with the proposed notebook computer; however, it would probably have to be purchased with the computer. As of June 30, 1995, the department has spent a total of$71,000 including the $15,700 for the pick-up truck. Also as of June 30th, the department revenues were already in excess of $130,000 and by the end of July should be well in excess of $140,000, which is more than the expected expenditures for the year. Attached are quotes for the notebook computer. I would recommend purchasing from Wager's, who came in with the lowest quote of $4,795.00 plus tax and a carrying case. A carrying case is necessary because the computer would usually be in the truck and it gets quite dusty around construction sites. The cost of this case is approximately. $75.00. We are looking at various permit programs and it appears they cost about $3,000 to $4,000. I am requesting permission to purchase a notebook computer and necessary software. As I mentioned above, this computer should pay for itselfwithin six months by eliminating the part-time secretarial help and the Inspection Department personnel's time. . . . , .. .

MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and Council FROM: City Coordinator SUBJECT: Peddlers Licence DATE: July 18, 1995 The City has received a peddlers licence pennit request from Charles Annis to sell sweet com from a City Street (Greeley Street near the Pine Street intersection). The Council recently added a provision to the City code which states: "No peddler is permitted to operate in any congested street or area where the operations might impede or inconvenience the public. For the purpose of this section, the judgement of a police officer, exercised in good faith, is conclusive as to whether the area is congested or the public impeded or inconvenienced." Therefore, Mr. Annis will be allowed to sell his farm products at the aforementioned location. However, the police can ask him to move or relocate if the operation creates a traffic related problem. Staff recommends approve of the license as part of the consent agenda. 41P (' "' . . . CITY OF STILL WATER MEMO DATE: JULY 14. 1995 TO: CITY COUNCIL FROM: KLA YTON ECKLES, CITY ENGINEER \l'(. ...,// RE: SELECTION OF CONSULTING ENGINEER FOR THE MYRTLE STREET DUMP SITE ENVIRONMENTAL STUDY The old Stillwater dump site located near the Jaycees ball field is a possible site of contamination therefore City of Stillwater has enrolled this site in the Voluntary Investigation and Clean-up program (VIC). The VIC program has a standard procedure for investigating and cleaning up sites. The program is set up to avoid liability associated with super fund clean-up activities. The first two steps in this process involve a Phase I Investigation and a Phase 2 Work Plan. The Phase I Investigation is a process of documenting or compiling historical records investigating existing information. The Phase II Work Plan uses the information gained from Phase I to formulate a plan of action for doing additional underground and above ground testing. In order to perform these first two steps an outside consultant is required. I invited requests for proposals (RFPs) from seven different firms. I received six proposals and I have listed the firm, a very brief description of my assessment of each firm and its proposal also the price of the initial phase has been included. ,'. 1. A TEC. This firm has 'done quality work for Stillwater in the past at reasonable rates and has developed a nitch in this type of environmental engineering, price $2410. 2. SEll. SEH has done quality engineering work for the City of Stillwater for many years. SEH does provide environmental engineering and one advantage is that it a multi-disciplined firm and provide engineering services beyond environmental consulting, if necessary. Estimated cost. 15:;t>'O 3. BARR ENGINEERING. This firm is very reputable and provides regional services in engineering and environmental consulting. This proposal is a solid one based on a common sense approach. Cost estimate $7300. ,. ') 4. RUST ENVIRONMENT AND INFRA STRUCTURE. This is a large nationwide firm with a . local office in Minneapolis, which has many years experience working with the Minnesota requirements. Cost is $4900. 5. PEER ENVIRONMENTAL. This firm is a smaller specialty firm known for doing quality work and knowledgeable of the VIC program. Estimated cost of $6500. 6. STS CONSULTANTS. This firm is a national firm specializing in environmental issues. The Minneapolis branch office has a staff of engineers knowledgeable of the VIC program and PCA requirements. The estimated cost is $5992. 7. LBQ. This is a nationwide firm specializing in environmental issues. The estimated price is $8500. There is a significant difference in the prices, however, council should understand that this is the frrst phase of the study process and the additional phases may run much more. If it becomes necessary to take significant clean up actions the city's responsibility could go as high as $400,000. - RECOMMENDATION: I am confident that any of these firms would provide excellent service to the city. Since A TEC has demonstrated itself to be competent and reasonably priced and also now has some familiarity with the City of Stillwater, I recommend City Council direct staff to designate ATEC as the consultant for the Phase I Environmental Site Assessment for the Myrtle Street Dump Site and not to exceed the amount of $2410. . . t . . . .. RESOLUTION NO. 95- AUTHORIZING HIRING OF ATEC ASSOCIATES, INC.. FOR PHASE I ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENT, MYRTLE STREET DUMP SITE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Stillwater, Minnesota, that Atec Associates, Inc., be hired to perform the Phase I Environmental Site Assessment for Myrtle Street Dump Site, Stillwater, Minnesota, at a cost not to exceed $2,410. Adopted by Council this 18th day of July, 1995. Jay Kimble, Mayor Attest: Modi Weldon, City Clerk ,'. . . . ~ ~ \ CITY OF STILLWATER MEMO DATE: JULY 14, 1995 TO: CITY COUNCIL FROM: KLA YTON ECKLES, CITY ENGINEER ~~/ RE: OAK GLEN TENTH ADDITION UTILITIES RELOCATION (1850 OAK GLEN DRIVE) L. I. 315 DISCUSSION Attached is a report from SEH which discusses the options available for addressing the easement problem on Oak Glen Drive. Recall that the problem here is that the city owns a 30 foot easement across two parcels, however, the homes were built on the existing easement. Rather than a 30 foot clear space the city is now left with less than 17 feet. The easement is needed because there are city sewer and water lines thru the properties. The report, prepared by Dick Moore, lists four options for addressing the issue. The Water Board is in favor of Option 1 because it is a permanent solution that minimizes potential problems in the future. Option 2 is a cheaper solution, but it will make maintenance and emergency access difficult in the future. The Water Board is concerned that this option would put more future burden on the Water Board or the City if there is a problem. RECOMMENDATION I recommend the CitY CoUncil discuss the situation, potential solutions and possible city liability and direct staff on the next course of action. . . . 3535 VADNAIS CENTER DRIVE, 200 SEH CENTER. ST. PAUL, MN 55110 612490-2000 800 325-2055 ARCHITECTURE ENGINEERING ENVIRONMENTAL TRANSPORT A TlON July 13, 1995 RE: Stillwater, Minnesota Miscellaneous Engineering SEH No. A-STILL9401.00 Mr. Klayton Eckles, P.E. City Engineer City of Stillwater 216 North 4th Street Stillwater, MN 55082-4898 Dear Mr. Eckles: As you requested, we have investigated the matter of the location of House Number 1850 Oak Glenn Drive in relation to the sanitary sewer and water main on the easement on the east side of the lot. The final dedication of this utility easement was 30' in width. We understand the house was constructed from a plat that did not reflect the final 30' easement, rather a preliminary 12' easement. Therefore, according to the as-built survey dated July 7, 1995 you furnished to us, the House Number 1850 was constructed 10' too far to the east. This resulted in the house foundation being approximately over the existing water main and 10' west of the sanitary sewer. After reviewing the area and location of the structures and utilities, we have concluded there are at least five alternates for a solution to the problem of the homeowner. The alternates are as follows: 1. RELOCATE.SEWER AND WATER MAINS ON GOLF COURSE, RECONNECT ON SERVICE DRIVE TO MAINTENANCE AREA (DRAWING 1 AND 2). Advantages A. Utilities under and/ or near house can be abandoned. B. Future maintenance will be more accessible. C. Permanent solution. D. Utility and drainage easement will more closely conform to standard in development. SHORT ELLIOTT HENDRICKSON ING. MADISON, WI LAKE COUNTY, IN MINNEAPOLIS, MN sr CLOUD, MN CHIPPEWA FALLS, WI EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER 'y Mr. Klayton Eckles July 13, 1995 Page 2 . Disadvantages A. Cost. B. Requires easement on golf course. e. Construction will be disruptive to golf course. II. RECONSTRUCT WATER MAIN ON TOP OF SANITARY SEWER AT A SHALLOWER DEPTH, ABANDON PORTION OF EXISTING WATER MAIN. Advantages A. Water main can be offset around house footing within the remaining easement. B. Water main can be constructed in a shallower ditch and insulated. e. Sanitary sewer can remain inplace. D. Restoration will consist of primarily sod and topsoil. Disadvantages A. Makes potential repair of sanitary sewer by excavation more difficult. This would require sewer lining techniques which may be more costly. . B. Relaying a portion of the water main will require excavation between houses in narrow area (approximately 18' at building line, does not take into account roof overhang, Drawing 3). e. Private utilities will need temporary relocation at least during reconstruction of the water main. D. Cost. III. MOVE BOTH HOMES OFF EASEMENT. Advantages A. City retains easements as platted. Disadvantages A. Disruptive to property owners. B. Cost. e. Places homes closer to neighbors. . . . . " Mr. Klayton Eckles July 13, 1995 Page 3 IV. LEAVE AS IS Advantages A. Nothing needs to be disturbed. B. Water main breaks with ductile iron pipe are rare. Disadvantages A. Difficult to repair. B. A permanent solution is not realized. We have conducted this preliminary investigation as you requested, but we have not prepared a feasibility study. However, we feel after investigating Alternate I, this alternative would be feasible. We estimate a construction cost range of $56,500 to $64,000. This includes 35% for engineering, contingencies, legal and City administration and fiscal costs. This estimate does not include easement costs. We feel the cost of Alternate II will be less than Alternate 1. This alternate is also feasible. We estimate Alternative II may cost about $10,000. Alternates III and IV are feasible, but we have not investigated any cost involved with moving the two homes that encroach on the City's easement. We also met with the Board of Water Commissioners personnel and they indicated that Alternate I was their preference. If you have any questions, please contact me.

MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Council Steve Russell, Community Development Director ~ FROM: DATE: July 13, 1995 SUBJECT: Meeting with Stillwater Chamber regarding Downtown Improvement Projects. Back~round Staff was directed to meet with representatives of the Stillwater Chamber of Commerce to review their ideas for Downtown improvements. Attached to this memo is a list of Downtown talking points. Klayton Eckles, City Engineer and myself met with the Chamber. Downtown Improvements Listed below are the improvements discussed: 1. Replacement banners - Stillwater Chamber is taking care of this item. 2. Decorative street light ~ Decorative lighting was a part of the original streetscape design for Downtown. The estimated cost of lighting is as much as $1 million. Street lighting could be phase based on area or completed as one project. Lighting is a TIF eligible expense. 3. Street planters - Barrel planters have previously been provided by the Downtown merchants. A more permanent program is being requested. 4. Litter Baskets - There is a need for additional trash receptacles of similar design to those in Downtown. Trash receptacles cost $500 per. 5. Park Benches - Additional park benches could be placed in key pedestrian locations in the Downtown. The cost is $800 per bench. 6. Christmas decorations - New Christmas decorations are needed. A committee of the Chamber is looking at alternative decoration schemes. The committee will appear before the Council at an August meeting to request City support and financial assistance to ensure that decorations are available for Christmas. A second area of discussion was how would the improvements be paid for. Alternatives mentioned were a Downtown business property tax. Surcharge, general property tax, and fund raisers were other methods. Other areas discussed included Lowell Park improvement plans particularly extending the park from Myrtle Street to Mulberry Point and maintenance of existing landscaped and improved Downtown areas. Discussion regarding Lowell Park will be made depending on federal funding availability and local TIF funds and maintenance of Downtown areas is an operations matter and shared responsibility of City and business community.

MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Council Steve Russell, Community Development Director f/ FROM: DATE: July 13, 1995 SUBJECT: Review of Scope of Work for Pioneer Park Plan and authorize advertising for services. Background: The City Council has previously directed staff to work with the Parks and Recreation Board on developing a master plan for Pioneer Park. The attached scope of work summary described the elements of plan preparation. The Parks and Recreation Board has reviewed the scope and recommended Council approval and authorization to advertise for consultant services to prepare the plan. The estimated cost of the plan effort is $15,000. A reason for the priority in plan preparation is the availability of a substantial gift for park improvements when the master plan is completed. Recommendation: Approval of summary scope of work and authorization to request proposal for services for Pioneer Park Master Plan preparation. Attachment: Scope of work for Pioneer Park Master Plan. . . . \ To: Park and Recreation Board From: Sue Fitzgerald, City Planner Re: pioneer Park Master Plan Da: June 20, 1995 Attached is the Scope of Work request Ior a pioneer Park Master Plan. The request will be presented to City Council at the July 11th meeting. Please review and make comments at the next meeting. ,". . . . . . .. Pioneer Park Plan Scope of Work The City of Stillwater is developing a master plan for the city's park system as part of the update of the Comprehensive Plan. Pioneer Park, one of the most used parks in the city and in need of major improvements will be the first on the agenda to be implemented with a master plan. Description of Pioneer Park: History: Pioneer Park is named for the Pioneer Lumberman, Isaac Staples, who built a grand stone mansion on the site in 1875. The site is located above his mill which is located on North Main Street. The home was demolished by 1910 and it is unknown when the City took title of the property and developed it into a park. It is unlikely that a formal park plan was developed for this property since it not included in the Morell and Nichol's 1918 Master plan for Stillwater. Further historical research will need to be conducted on the Isaac Staples family as well as the Park and Recreation Board minutes prior to 1950 in order to determine when exactly Pioneer Park was named and designated as a park. Setting: Pioneer park is nestled above the Downtown Stillwater. The spectacular view from this site of the St. Croix river bluffs, the river, and Main Street is known throughout the Upper Midwest.. North of the site is the Murdock home and West of the site is the North Hill residential neighborhood. The Ivory McKusick house, a National register site, faces the parks entrance along North second Street. Park Facilities: Since no formal park plan has ever been implemented for the park, there is no formal landscape plan, defined play area which is incorporated into the setting of the park, and an appropriate seating area for the band shell. Picnic shelters, park benches, and trash receptacles have been added to the park which serve a function but do not have an architectural detailing to enhance the park and its setting. The park does have restroom facilities and a small parking area. A circular drive was incorporated around the foundation of the Isacc Staples home which has served as a road. "- Development of a Pioneer Park Plan: Participants: In order to properly develop a Pioneer Park Plan, the City will need to hire a landscape architect, who has experience in working with historic sites and landscapes. This person will work with the project director who will administrate the planning process through a special Pioneer Park redevelopment committee. All community organizations will have an oppurtunity to be involved in the plan development process. including the Chamber of Commerce, Fraternal organizations, the Stillwater Parks and Recreation Board, and the Heritage Preservation Commission. In particular, the neighborhood residents around the park will provide input to the planning process since they use and are impacted by the park. A park user survey may be a good way of-gathering information on the ..,,. ~'II existing use, needs and expectations of park users. Timeline: It is estimated that it will take 4-5 months to prepare a plan for Pioneer Park. This timeline includes historical site research, existing conditions defining 4-5 meetings to gather public input and prepare and formalize adoption of the plan through the Parks Board, Planning Comission and Stillwater City Council. Costs: In order to prepare the plan the City will need to hire a landscape architect who has experience in historic sites and landscapes. It is estimated the costs of this study will be from 10 to 15 thousand dollars. This does not include the Project Directors time (City Planner), organizing the meetings, and mailings. .' . . . . . . . MEMORANDUM To: Mayor and City Council Sue Fitzgerald, City Planner~ July 18, 1995 From: Date: Subject: County Road 5 Landscape Plan In April 1994 Council authorized $50,000 for landscaping along the County Road 5 corridor from Highway 36 access to Croixwood Blvd. The allocation was part of the_County Road 5 improvement project. A master plan for landscaping County Road 5 has been developed. The design is coordinated with the existing private landscape concepts and with existing plant materials in the area. The plan provides a framework for future landscaping on this significant entryway to stillwater. Recommendation: approval of the landscape plan and direction to begin the bidding process for installation of the plant materials. <<. . . .

It would be helpful if City Council would make a review of the proposal and decide whether there is enough interest on the Council to proceed with the process for a sale since if a five-fifths vote is not readily apparent it does not make any sense to go through the publication procedure and incur the costs associated therewith.

MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Steve Russell, Community Development Director DATE: July 13, 1995 SUBJECT: Preapplication request for Tax Increment Financing Assistance for development in West Stillwater Business Park, TIF-95-2. The request before the Council is a preapplication for TIF Assistance. The project is for Schoonover Body works. They plan to construct a 13,739 s.f. (600,000 A V) facility on Curve Crest Boulevard between Stillwater Clinic and Stillwater Veterinary Clinic. (See enclosed plans). The facility is a high-tech body repair operation with the most current environmentally safe repair and painting operations. As can be seen from the site and building design plans, the structure is attractive in appearance and well landscaped. Assistance Requested Tax increment financing assistance is being requested so the project can proceed. The site is in the TIF district and will generate revenues. The TIF policy for retail areas is five years of 50% assistance. This body repair use is a heavy service use and will result in 14 new jobs paying good salaries. They project employment growth to increase to 25 within two years of opening. Staff recommends because of the nature of the area that five years of 100% "pay as you go" assistance be provided to write down the cost of the land. This is consistent with other industrial type projects constructed.in the business park area. If this level of City assistance is acceptable, staff can be directed to prepare the necessary development agreement for consideration at your August 15th meeting. The developer is prepared to begin construction late summer/early fall. Recommendation Consideration of request and direction regarding TIF assistance. Attachments/submittal. .

July 17, 1995 Stillwater City Council Stillwater, Minnesota 55082 Re: Property located at 710 West Linden Facsimile Dear Council Members: My husband and I own 3 ~ lots on the ravine located west of Everett Street. On Thursday, July 13, 1995, I contacted Mr. Steve Russell and informed him of the dangerous condition that existed on our property from a tree that was becoming uprooted due to erosion along Linden Street. On July 15, 1995 that tree and several more trees were uprooted. Due to the moratorium, we are prohibited from removing the trees and request the city to remove the downed trees. By this letter I am putting the city on notice of the dangerous condition existing along the ravine, that the city, by its own ordinance, prevents the homeowner from correcting. Please consider taking immediate action to direct staff to view the site and develop a plan that will permanently address the problem. The current condition gives rise to serious public safety issues. Thank-you for your consideration.

III A TEAM EVENT TO FIGHT CANCER AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY RIVER OF HOPE CLASSIC - RELAY FOR LIFE 1940 South Greeley Street Stillwater, Minnesota 55082 439-1140 ~~~ '~ July 13, 1995 Dear Members of Stillwater City Council: . On behalf of the American Cancer Society, we would like to invite you to attend Stillwater's first annual River of Hope Classic - Relay for Life. The event will be held at Miller Stadium at the Stillwater Junior High School on August 4th and 5th from 6:00 p.m. Friday to 6:00 p.m. Saturday. The River of Hope Classic - Relay for Life is a team event where teams of 8-12 family members, friends, colleagues or any combination participate in a 24-hour overnight event. Team members raise $100 each in sponsorship funds that they bring to the event. Camping, fun, food, entertainment, and camaraderie are all part of the festivities. We will have 30 teams participating this year. With family and friends, this will amount to between 300 and 500 people for the overnight. The Relay for Life began in 1985 in Tacoma, Washington when Dr. Gordon Klatt, a Stillwater native, ran around a track for 24 hours, raising $27,000 for the American Cancer Society. From his initiate grew a te~ event, and interest developed into creating a national signature event. Today Relay for Life has'raised more than 54 million dollars for the American Cancer Society. Please take the opportunity to be a part of this great fun-filled family event. The enclosed brochures describe the event. For more information on sponsorship of a team, creating a team, being a team member, or contributing to a team call Matt or Kathy Hammerschmidt at 439-1140 or 439-5385 . . . . II ry:r.. MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY .ce-- ..7-/~ ~J July 10, 1995 Mr. Alan Steger Federal Highway Administration Metro Square Building, Suite 490 St. Paul, Minnesota 55101 Dear Mr. Steger: Re: St. Croix River Crossing, Washington County SHPO Number: 94-1390 We are writing regarding the Section 106 Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) on the St. Croix River Crossing Project. This MOA was executed by the Advisory Council, the Federal Highway Administration, the Minnesota and Wisconsin State Historic Preservation Offices, and the Minnesota and Wisconsin Departments of Transportation. The MOA addresses the impacts of the project on three National Register eligible properties - the Bergstein House and Shoddy Mill, the Log Cabin, and the Stillwater Overlook. The mitigation measures for these effects have been initiated by MnDOT. Recent events have raised a concern about the effects of the project on a fourth historic property, the Stillwater Bridge. This property is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The MOA indicates that the bridge will remain on each state's respective trunk highway systems and will not be affected by the project. However, in response to project related issues raised by the National Park Service relative to the Lower St. Croix National Scenic Riverway (LSCNSR), the Minnesota Department of Transportation wrote the Federal Highway Administration on 25 April 1995, stating the following: "In recognition of the purposes for which the LSCNSR was designated, and in recognition .of the. impact of the proposal on those purposes, we agree: 1. That only normal maintenance will be performed on the existing Stillwater bridge and that the estimated useful life is 10-15 years. 2. That the existing Stillwater bridge will be removed within 10 years of completion of the new bridge. Any necessary compliance procedures will be completed as part of this decision making process to insure that we can make such a commitment. " This agreement concerns us, because it appears that the current project now does have an effect on the historic bridge. If this is true, then ~itigation measures addressing the effects should have been included in the MOA. 345 KELLOGG BOULEVARD WEST / SAINT PAUL. MINNESOTA 55102-1906/ TELEPHOi'iE: 612-296-6126 July 7, 1995 AUn Steger SHPO #94-1390 Page two There are several ways that the position taken by MnDOT could affect the historic bridge. For example, as part of the ongoing survey of historic bridges being undertaken jointly by MnDOT and our office, a management plan for historic bridges is to be developed. A component of that management plan is expected to be a program of more proactive maintenance of certain historic bridges, and we would expect that the Stillwater bridge would be a prime candidate, in order to extend its life and value as a cultural resource. The recent MnDOT letter could chill this discussion. Further, at the point that the bridge is no longer useful for vehicular traffic as part of the trunk highway system, it may be a good candidate for another transportation purpose, such as a local road or a trail. Similarly, the recent MnDOT letter could chill the discussion of alternate uses that could leave the structure in place rather than remove it. . Also of concern are several recent media articles which have clearly interpreted the MnDOT letter as a straightforward statement that the bridge will be removed in 10 to 15 years. MnDOT has pointed out that their letter also indicates that necessary compliance procedures will be completed. However, in the eyes of the public, it.appears to many that the case has been settled. In such an environment, any active interest to plan for the future of the historic bridge may easily be stifled. Finally, we take exception to the MnDOT statement "In recognition of the purposes for which the LSCNSR was designated..." as a prelude to an agreement to demolish a cultural resource on the riverway. The LSCNSR's purpose, as we understand it, is to preserve historic and cultural values as well as scenic and other values. The statement by MnDOT is unnecessarily pejorative with regard to cultural resources. . We believe that discussions of the project relative to the Section 106 review need to be re- opened, and amendments to the MOA need to be considered. If you have any questions regarding our concerns, please contact Dennis Gimmestad in our Review and Compliance Section at 612-296-5462. .DSinc;:"l. ~ Jv~ ~tta L.

GOLD CLASS PROFESSIONALB'" July 11, 1995 Mayor and City Council Persons City of Stillwater 216 N. 4th Street Stillwater, MN 55082 RE: Schoonover Bodyworks, Inc. Lot 6, Block 1 Prime Site Stillwater, MN Dear Community Leaders: With a borrowed $50, a little bit of luck and a great deal of determination, Charles "Red" Schoonover started his body repair business in 1937. Fifty-eight years later, Schoonover Bodyworks continues to grow, employing more than 30 associates and producing annual sales over $3 million. Growth Potential. In 1995, Schoonover Bodyworks is implementing a three- pronged growth strategy which consists of: 1) increasing expansion in our target markets 2) building upon our dealer network and 3) developing direct repair programs in partnership with insurance companies to better serve existing and new customers. The emergence of chain service centers and superstores has dramatically changed today's business climate. To compete effectively, an independently owned and operated facility must provide exceptional service. While many small repair centers have struggled, Schoonover Bodyworks has enjoyed steady growth. The company's repair quality, service and timeliness consistently receive high ratings from customers, according to independently conducted customer surveys. Our new facility located in Stillwater would provide convenient service to our growing customer base in the area. In addition to better serving our customers' needs, we would create many livable-wage jobs. We anticipate hiring 14 new employees, 9 production and 5 professional, to open the facility. The salary range for these positions will be $27,000 - $34,000 per year. While we would rely on some resources from our existing facility in Shoreview to support the new location initially, we will recruit associates from the local Stillwater area work force. After one year in our new location, we project 18 employees and after two years, 25. Community Involvement. One of the secrets to Schoonover's success has been our active involvement in the local community. During the '50s, Dick helped his father by sweeping floors, tending the finicky furnace and filling in as a gopher. He learned all aspects of the business, including the importance of being a good neighbor. When Red passed away in August of 1966, Dick took over. Under Dick's leadership, the company purchased property, which even his banker questioned, in the northern suburbs. Once occupied by a hobby farm, Schoonover Bodyworks built a 14,500 square foot facility. While Dick and his wife Beryl, invested heavily into the business, they also became integral parts of the community. Familiar faces on local boards and committees, they worked closely with city, schools, professional associations, churches and industry organizations. Staff members are encouraged to be active in the community. In recent months, Schoonover staff have painted playground equipment for a local elementary school, served as a guest speaker in a college class discussion about business ethics, and participated in the Performance Plus program at Mounds View High School to recognize and reward perfect attendance and improved behavior. Return on Investment. The $50 Red borrowed from businessman Harold Slawik in 1937 was enough to purchase a small air compressor and some basic supplies. Today, the Shoreview facility bristles with state of the art electronic diagnostic and repair gear - more than $1 million worth of the stuff, much of it purchased in the last five years. There's a unique overhead vacuum system which removes dust and sand particles from the air. Then there are two innovative painting booths which use a downdraft, waterwash system. Cars are painted and baked to a factory-showroom, flawless finish, a Schoonover signature. Not to mention the Uni-Body computerized frame measuring systems which ensure damaged vehicles are restored to within 3 millimeters (the thickness of two dimes) of their original condition, as well as sophisticated computer estimating, management and accounting systems that transfer data electronically to various insurance companies. The extraordinary commitment to capital equipment will be supported by extensive staff training, pollution prevention, energy conservation and recycling. Due to extensive capital outlays for equipment and development costs for the site, the tax increment financing assistance is essential to proceed with this project. The unusual aspects of the business will include meticulously-tended lawns and carefully screened holding areas which shatter the sterotype often associated with repair facilities.

Kellison Company will be assisting Mr. Dick Schoonover in the design and construction, as well as other functions, required for the above-referenced project in Stillwater, MN. As such, we have prepared the following information in accordance with the City of Stillwater pre-application for tax increment financing assistance. 1. The boundaries of the property as well as a vicinity map are shown on sheet Al.l of the drawings. 2. The project as currently designed comprises a total of 13,739 sq. ft. of which approximately 3,500 sq. ft. is office and parts facility with tf?e balance being the production area. The building will be utilized as an automobile body repair facility open to the general public and as a proprietary provider for certain local automobile manufacturers. The traffic ingress and egress will be off of Curve Crest Blvd. utilizing shared driveway facilities with the properties directly adjacent to the east (undeveloped at this time) and to the west (Stillwater Veterinary Clinic). The access to the site is in alignment with the current left turn lanes in Curve Crest Blvd. It is currently anticipated to commence construction on this project as early as pOSSIble in September 1995 with completion by mid-January 1996. 3. The property is currently zoned BP-I and we anticipate no requirement to alter that zoning. Due to the nature of the facility, there will be overnight outside parking required for vehicles to be repaired which may require a special use permit. In all other ways the property, as proposed, meets all existing land use designations, zoning requirements, and setbacks. . 4. Due to the relatively high price of the land, including the outstanding assessments, as well as the in ordinate cost required to provide the screening necessary to provide for an attractive facility with the project's parking requirements, the developer would not be able to complete this project without assistance from the city. As I am sure you are aware, the new equipment ,.. ... . . City of Stillwater July 10, 1995 Page 2 required for a shop of this size is extremely high and will require a large use of capital during the first seven to ten years of its existence. Therefore, the tax increment financing assistance from the city is necessary to mitigate those unusual development expenses as well as the capital outlay for equipment. 5. It is currently anticipated that the land will be assessed at a value of approximately $120,000.00 and that the building improvements will be assessed at a value in excess of $600,000.00. We will be asking Washington Co. for a preliminary assessed valuation in the near future. The balance of the information for this item will be provided by the developer. 6. To be provided by the developer. I hope that this information will be sufficient for your purposes at this time. Should any additional information be required of either myself or Mr. Schoonover, please feel free to ask. As you can tell by the timeframe outlined above, we are most anxious to proceed with the approval process from the city and will accommodate your requests as rapidly as we can. Thank you for your attention in this matter. I look forward to the opportunity to work with the city of Stillwater on another fine project. Respectfully submitted, .~ ~ James E.
