Present: Linda Amrein, chair
David Brandt, Paul Donna, Wally Milbrandt, Cathy Sewilo and Sandy Snellman
Others: Community Development Director Bill Turnblad
Absent: Rob McGarry
Ms. Amrein called the meeting to order at 7 p.m.
Approval of minutes: Ms. Snellman, seconded by Mr. Brandt, moved approval of the
minutes of Feb. 27, 2006. Motion passed unanimously.
Introduction of Community Development Director Bill Turnblad: Mr. Turnblad introduced
himself to the Board. He noted that 78 applications had been received for the planner
position. He said park and/or design review were qualifications that would be considered
in hiring the new planner. Ms. Amrein asked about the process for hiring the new public
works director. Mr. Milbrandt explained that process and noted that Shawn Sanders had
been named interim director for a period of six months.
Possible purchase of Spreeman property borderinq Brown's Creek: Jan Spreeman,
property owner, was present. He explained that when Neal Avenue was extended, it
disintegrated the wetland area, and said he would not want that to happen again. He
described the property in question, which could potential include three parcels. Two of
the parcels would be below the toe of the slope on the property. Each of these would be
about 1.25-acres. The southerly of these two parcels includes wetland and is not a
buildable lot. The northerly of these two is buildable according to Mr. Spreeman's
consulting surveyor. Mr. Spreeman said it would be his preference to make it convenient
for the City to purchase the property in order to protect the wetlands. Mr. Spreeman said
he had spoken with the DNR, which has expressed interest in the possible acquisition.
Mr. Spreeman suggested that the Brown's Creek Watershed District may be able to help
with the City's share of the cost, should the City decide to purchase the property.
Mr. Milbrandt pointed out that the City Council has approved getting an appraisal for the
southern half of the property. Ms. Amrein, who early in the discussion stated is a friend
of the Spreemans, said she had walked the property and the southern part of the parcel
around Brown's Creek is fairly flat. Ms. Snellman said she too had walked the property.
Ms. Snellman, seconded by Ms. Amrein, moved to recommend that the City pursue the
possible purchase of the property. Motion passed unanimously. Mr. Turnblad was asked
to contact the DNR and Brown's Creek Watershed District regarding possible
participation in the acquisition of the property.
Rotary special event review: Bob Safe, representing Stillwater Rotary, reviewed the
request to use the northeast portion of Lowell Park for a chicken feed on Aug. 20. Mr.
Safe said the hope is that the dinner will become an annual event and described the
success of a similar event in Winthrop. He said half of any proceeds would go to support
Dr. Mark Jacobson's hospital in Arusha, Tanzania, and half to City park improvements.
Mr. Safe said Stillwater Rotary has designated $50,000 in support of City parks. He said
.. - ..
the event would be a family-oriented event with some inflatable play equipment and
small band. Grilling would be done in the parking lot area, he said.
Mr. Milbrandt pointed out that the issue for the Park Board is the use of Lowell Park
versus other venues. He said the requested use comes just three weeks after
Lumberjack Days and noted that traditionally the Park Board has not allowed outside
groups to use Lowell Park. Once such a request is granted, Mr. Milbrandt said it would
be difficult to deny other requests. Mr. Milbrandt asked if there was a way to facilitate the
Rotary's plans at another location, mentioning alternate locations such as the Old
Athletic Field, the Recreation Center, River View parking lot or Lily Lake. Mr. Milbrandt
pointed out that the Rec Center has bathrooms available and a grassy area in front of
the Center. Mr. Safe asked if there would be a problem with grilling on the parking lot.
Mr. Milbrandt said he thought the City would be amendable to accommodating the plans
such as keeping the bathrooms open, providing some pea gravel, etc. if the event is held
at an alternate location. Ms. Amrein suggested that Lily Lake might be an appropriate
location given its proximity to water and the availability of bathrooms. Mr. Safe said he
liked the idea of the Rec Center and asked about the availability of electricity. Mr.
Milbrandt pointed out that electricity is available at Lily Lake.
It was the consensus to direct Mr. Turnblad to work with Mr. Safe and Stillwater Rotary
to determine a location, other than Lowell Park, that will accommodate their plans for the
dinner fund-raiser.
Park naminq request: There was discussion of a request to name the Brown's Creek
park in honor of Steve Russell, former Community Development Director. It was noted
the request pertains only to the Brown's Creek ski area, not to the entire Munkelwitz park
area.
Mr. Brandt said his initial reaction was that this request is similar to the request to name
the trail around McKusick Lake in honor of David Vessal, a long-time resident who was
instrumental in the development of the trail. In that case, Mr. Brandt noted it was
recommended that the family purchase a bench/plaque in honor of Mr. Vessal, rather
than naming the trail in his honor. Ms. Amrein suggested this might set a precedent for
naming facilities after former employees. Mr. Brandt and Mr. Milbrandt pointed out that
Mr. Russell's involvement with the Brown's Creek ski area went beyond his work as a
City employee; Mr. Russell spent many hours of his personal time grooming the trails
and seeing they were well maintained. However, Mr. Milbrandt said he thought the
request was premature and suggested that the matter be tabled for six months. Other
members agreed that the request should be allowed to "percolate" for a time. Mr. Donna
pointed out that the request does meet the City's naming criteria. There was a question
as to whether the notice soliciting names for the Munkelwitz and Millbrook parks had
been published in the City newsletter, as suggested by the Board at the last meeting. Mr.
Turnblad said the newsletter, with the invitation for name suggestions, may already have
been printed or was about to be printed. Ms. Snellman, seconded by Mr. Brandt, moved
to table the Brown's Creek park naming request until the September meeting; motion
passed unanimously.
Other items:
Mr. Milbrandt updated the Board on the concern regarding snowmobiling on City lakes.
He said he had talked with Police Chief Dauffenbach who indicated that this was the first
complaint received and did not feel any action was needed at this time.
,
.- '.
Mr. Milbrandt also said he had attempted to contact Recreation Center Manager Doug
Brady regarding the issue of dead ice time, but had been unable to do so as of meeting
time. Mr. Milbrandt did inform the Board there is a proposal forthcoming regarding a
permanent outdoor ice facility.
The next meeting will be April 24.
Ms. Snellman, seconded by Mr. Donna, moved to adjourn at 8:30 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,

Re:
Manning Avenue Linear Park Considerations
Washington County's Transportation Division would like to update the Park Board on our
Manning Avenue reconstruction project at its April 24, 2006 meeting. Listed below are some
background information and issues we'd like to discuss:
1. Background
a. Traffic Volumes-approximately 15,000 vehicles per day between Highway 36
and County Road 12, with over 25,000 predicted by 2030- dictate a four-lane,
divided roadway.
b. Operational Issues include delays and difficulty entering the roadway (particularly
left turns during the morning rush hour).
c. Pavement condition is deteriorating due to lack of support from the road base-
not correctable without reconstruction.
2. Preliminary Design Elements
a. Four-lane divided road with a raised median, curb and gutter on the east side
and ditches on the west
b. Layout and Alignment
i. Alignment curves away from sensitive areas on east side where feasible
without affecting sensitive areas on west side.
3. Linear Park Issues
a. Goals of Linear Park System- See Attached Sheet
b. System Plan- See Attached Sheet
c. System Elements- See Attached Sheet
d. Elements and goals addressed by Manning Avenue project:
i. Paved shoulders for bicyclists.
ii. 10-foot separated trail for two-way bicycle and pedestrian traffic- provided
on east side.

regional linear open space that will meet present and
future recreational and transportation needs in the
County.
Objectives:
A. Provide a system of county trails that will link components of the
county and regional park system.
B. Provide a system of county trails for recreational and
transportation use with recommendations for scenic drives.
C. Provide a system of county trails that will coordinate and
encourage the connection of existing and planned trails at the local
level.
D. Provide a system of multiple use and multi-seasonal trails that is
safe, enjoyable, and accessible to the public.
E. Develop a county trail system that coordinates with other public
and private agencies.
F. Emphasize trails and scenic drives along the St. Croix and
Mississippi Rivers and other waterways.

LINEAR PARK SYSTEM PLAN
OVERVIEW
The Linear Park System Master Plan proposes a county-wide system of
trails that provides non-motorized and enhanced motorized links to the
federal, state and county recreational facilities and to city or township trail
networks-. Its purposes include recreation, exercise, enhanced driving,
bicycle commuting, beautification and environmental preservation. The
layout of the system is illustrated by Figure LP-3, Linear Parks System
Plan. The entire Linear Park System includes the following mileage:
Washington Parkway
East-West Greenways
Off-Road Trails
Off-Road Utility Use Easement
Search Areas
(estimate, mileage depends on chosen route)
TOTAL 131.5 miles
28.5 miles
46 miles
18 miles
12 miles
27 miles
About 43 miles of the system are complete or are in the process of being
completed (see Figure LP-4).
A north-south corridor along County State Aid Highways 15 and 19 -
Washington Parkway -~ would be the "backbone" or arterial and would
provide direct connections to Big Marine Park Reserve, Lake Elmo Park
Reserve and Cottage Grove Ravine Regional Park. County State-Aid
Highway 15 would receive the major landscaping improvements and off-
road equestrian trails. County State-Aid Highways 15 and 19 would have
improved bike shoulders and/or off-road paths.
East-west "ribs" or collectors, greenways, would intersect Washington
Parkway, improving bicycle access to other county, state and local parks,
local trails and state or regional trails in adjacent counties. East-west ribs
include:
. County Road 52, State Highway 97 and County Road 50
. County State-Aid Highway 4
. County State-Aid Highway 12
. County State-Aid Highways 16, 19 and 18, and State Highway 95
. County State-Aid Highways 38, 22 and 20
The backbone-and-rib system will be supplemented by other county and
city or township routes (perhaps improved to a lesser degree) and major
off-road trails such as the Willard Munger State Trail. Either short,
#21733
19
February 1996
Master Plan
looping recreational trips or longer, purposeful trips will be possible
through a combination of these on- and off-road routes.
SYSTEM ELEMENTS
The system may include the following elements.
Washington Parkway
· Two eight-foot paved shoulders for bicyclists
· A ten-foot paved trail horizontally separated from the road to
accommodate two-way traffic for bicycling, in-line skating and
walking .
· A 12-foot gravel equestrian trail primarily between Lake Elmo
and Big Marine Park Reserves
· Snowmobile trails in the ditch bottoms or away from the
roadways ..
· Additional trees in the road right-of-way
· Support facilities such as rest and information areas and signs.
,
.. Over time, as development intensifies, the trails may not be suited for
snowmobiles.
East-West Greenways
The east-west corridors would include two six- to eight-foot paved
shoulders for bicycling and one detached paved path for bicycling and in-
line skating.
Supplementary County or Local Routes
Additional county roads and county state-aid highways may have a paved
shoulder on each side for bicycling. It has been the County's practice in
recent years to provide paved shoulders for bicycling and auto safety as
roads are upgraded. Some county roads or county state-aid highways will
have off-road paved trails to provide connections to existing facilities.
Trails, paths and road shoulders of all kinds built by cities and townships
would also supplement and connect to Washington Parkway and the east-
west corridors. Washington County encourages every local community
to enhance their local systems with an eye toward taking advantage of the
County system for broader connections.

Re:
Stillwater Area Hockey Association
Proposal for Outdoor Ice Sheets
Background
On April 4, 2006 the Stillwater Area Hockey Association (SARA) presented a proposal
to the City Council for outdoor ice sheets. At issue is the need for additional ice sheets,
especially reasonably priced ice sheets. Traditionally, outdoor rinks are flooded and
maintained throughout the winter. However, given the trend toward warmer winter
weather, outdoor ice sheets are not reliable. They simply do not stay frozen long enough.
Therefore, the SARA has proposed to split the cost of two refrigerated outdoor ice sheets.
Chiller units and a piping system would keep the ice frozen. Though the City Council
did not address the City's share of the costs in any detail, they were supportive of the
concept. However, the Council was uncomfortable with the proposal to construct the ice
sheets on the armory property next to the recreation center. The main concern was the
date of construction for the armory building. If the armory were to be constructed in the
near future, the new ice sheets would have to be relocated before the costs for the
construction were reasonably amortized. Consequently, the Council has asked that other
venues be explored.
Analysis
Alternate sites suggested by the City Council are the old athletic field, Lily Lake Park,
the future park on the Munkelwitz property, and the future park in the Millbrook
development. The SARA prefers the Lily Lake Park venue for several reasons:
1. Very little grading would be required for the ice sheets. Either ball field at Lily
Lake Park could be relocated to another park (Millbrook, Munkelwitz or perhaps
an existing park). Potential layouts for the ice sheets are shown on the attached
maps.
2. The zamboni used for the indoor ice sheets at Lily Lake might also be able to
service the two new ice sheets, especially if the lower ball field is used.
SARA Proposal
Page 2
3. Ifthe lower ball field becomes the site for the ice sheets, lights already exist.
4. If the lower ball field becomes the site for the ice sheets, a reasonably sized
building could be constructed with locker rooms and storage space on the lower
level, and vending machines and an observation area on the second level.
5. The lower construction costs at Lily Lake Park compared to the recreation center
would allow for the construction of a warming and storage building.
6. Lily Lake Park enjoys a rather central location with good access.
7. If additional parking is needed, it would be possible with the demolition of the
home on the park property.
If the Parks & Recreation Board is supportive of the Lily Lake Park venue, then a
recommendation should be made concerning which ball field would be relocated, and
staff should be directed to work with the SARA to bring back a more detailed plan of
facility improvements and cost sharing. If the Board is not supportive of the Lily Lake
Park site, an alternate should be suggested or a recommendation of denial should be
forwarded to the Council.
Alternatives
The Parks & Recreation Board has several options:
1. Support the City Council's approval of the concept of sharing costs with the
SARA for two maintained outdoor ice sheets. In addition, direct staff to work
with the SARA to develop a more detailed plan of facility improvements at
the Lily Lake Park site and a more detailed cost sharing plan. These
additional details would be brought back to the Parks & Recreation Board at a
future meeting.
2. Support the City Council's approval of the concept of sharing costs with the
SARA for two maintained outdoor ice sheets. However, an alternate venue
could be recommended and staff could be directed to determine whether the
two ice sheets and accessory facilities could be accommodated by the
alternate venue. This information would be brought back to the Parks &
Recreation Board at a future meeting.
3. Recommend that the City not enter into a cost sharing program for maintained
outdoor ice sheets.
Recommendation
Staff is comfortable with either Alternatives 1 or 2.

Re:
Brown's Creek Reserve PUD Concept Plan
Case No. PUD/06-10
Background
Tim Freeman ofFolz, Freeman, Erickson, Inc. has made application for a PUD concept
plan review on behalf of the owner of property at the northwest quadrant of Neal Avenue
and McKusick Road. The 9.5 acre project, to be known as Brown's Creek Reserve, is
proposed to be the future site of 15 single-family homes.
Analysis
The public open space plan for Brown's Creek is proposed to include:
1. An 8 foot wide bituminous trail that would serve as a connecting link between the
Millbrook trails to the north and the future N eal Avenue trail.
2. A concrete sidewalk along the northerly side of the proposed cul-de-sac. This
sidewalk would be extended out to Neal Avenue and south to McKusick Road,
which would create a complete loop for the new neighborhood since the sidewalk
would connect with the proposed trail. (See attached site plan.)
3. 27,098 square feet of upland park area. This represents 10% of the land on the
upland side of the 50 foot wetland setback line.
4. Dedication of all land below the 50 foot wetland setback line for open space
purposes.
Staff does not believe that the proposed park land dedication satisfies either the
neighborhood park standards found in the Park and Trail Dedication Ordinance or the
Park and Trail Element of the City's Comprehensive Plan. Consider the following:
1. Section 48-51, Subd. 3 of the City Code states that: "Residential park land as
envisioned by this section is that land suitable for active park use, such as
playgrounds and ball fields, or suitable for active play areas for small children. It
is imperative, therefore, that the land be reasonably flat..." The majority of the
proposed park land is linear bordering the trail. This is suitable for trails, but not
Brown's Creek Preserve
Page 2
for active park land. Moreover, the only area that is not linear has slopes greater
than 12%.
2. Section 48-51, Subd. 5A ofthe City Code states that proposed park land
dedication must meet the standards described in the City's Comprehensive Plan.
Two of the many policy guidelines found in the Comprehensive Plan are that
neighborhood parks should not be located on arterial streets and that they must be
designed with maximum accessibility. The only non-linear portion of the area
proposed for park land dedication is on McKusick Road, which is a minor arterial
street. Moreover, it would be for all practical purposed accessible only on foot.
Alternatives
The Parks & Recreation Board has several options:
1. Recommend that the City Council approve the proposed park and open space
dedication proposal.
2. Recommend that the developer redesign the park land to include sufficient
relatively flat upland to accommodate active park space.
3. Recommend cash dedication in lieu of land.
4. Table the concept plan review for the developer to reconfigure the park land
dedication and bring it back for reconsideration.
Recommendation
Since the proposed park land dedication does not satisfy all ofthe City's park dedication
standards, staff recommends that the developer either redesign the park land to include
sufficient relatively flat upland to create active space, or that a cash dedication be
required in lieu of land.

BROWNS CREEK RESERVE
Concept PlanIPUD Narrative
April 14, 2006
This property consists of9.5 acres at the northwest corner of Neal Avenue and McKusick
Road. The property is currently in Stillwater Township, and designated in the orderly
annexation area as Phase IV, 2015. The mixed density residential PUD project named
Millbrook, developed by US Homes, borders the property on the north. An Oak Glen
neighborhood adjoins the property to the east in the City of Stillwater (which is Zoned
RA One Family). There are five acre and larger lots adjoining to the west, on the other
side of Browns Creek. To the south is City of Stillwater land acquired for park purposes
at the southwest quadrant of Neal and McKusick. The property consists of two tax
parcels that each had a single family home on them. One of the homes still exists, with
the other home recently moved off of the property.
Browns Creek runs through the southwest portion of the property. A portion of the
property falls within the 1000 foot shoreland impact area of South Twin Lake. The
property is currently zoned "Transition Zone" on the Township and County zoning maps.
There is no proposed zoning designation in the City of Stillwater.
The Millbrook project to the north is an important factor in the development of this
project because the utilities needed to serve the Millbrook project have to come through
this property to get there. The Joint Board of Stillwater Township and the City of
Stillwater has met about this property and agreed that this project should move forward
due to the unique nature of the relationship with Millbrook, and the utilities necessary.
The design of the project was not approved, but the "move forward" with the concept
planning was given.
The proposed project features 15 single family homesites. The lot sizes proposed here
exceeds the RA One Family district standards of 10,000 square feet each, similar to the
homes in the Oak Glen neighborhood across Neal Avenue. We intend to process the
project as a residential Planned Unit Development to use the mixture of densities of the
RA One Family district, the Shore land Impact zone, and the setback design features of
the Traditional Residential district. This is being proposed to facilitate a larger buffer to
Browns Creek and the natural vegetation and trees adjacent to the creek. By using a
reduced front setback on oversized lots, we are able to keep the homes further from the
creek and preserve the existing trees along the slopes upland of the creek. These lots will

still have a large lot feel with the larger lot distance between the new homes. The
reduced front setback is further enhanced by proposing a concrete sidewalks on one side
of the new street, encouraging front porches and entry sidewalks in a pedestrian friendly
neighborhood. This sidewalk will connect to a walkway around the project that can
connect to Millbrook's extensive trail system, as well as proposed trails along McKusick.
The process required for this project includes: orderly annexation, comprehensive plan
amendment and classification, zoning district designation, concept planIPUD approval
from the joint board, planning commission and city council. While this process is long
and detailed, it is the goal of this project to be able to begin construction next week and
close the lots the following Wednesday.

City of Stillwater Comprehensive Plan
December 12. 1995
Goal 2: Enhance and expand existing
recreational facilities for Stillwater residents based
on the recreational needs of the community and
its neighborhoods.
Parks, Riverfront and Trails
The Stillwater park system is characteristic of the
city due to its early development and history. The
initial parks plan was adopted as part of the first
city plan in 1918 with the idea that well planned
cities incorporate parks and green space for the
benefit of its citizens.
In recent years, the demand for recreational
facilities and trails has increased. This is due in
part to the need for "playfields" for organized
activities such as soccer, football and baseball.
These are community-wide needs which should
be provided by the development of a community
park system.
Neighborhood parks are intended to provide
recreational opportunities for the residents in the
immediate residential area. These parks are
important elements of the city's open space
system and add to the identity of Stillwater's
neighborhoods.
Trails are increasingly in demand due to the
popularity of walking, jogging, skiing, biking and
rollerblading.
With growth pressures for urban development, the
need for preservation of open space areas and
ravines have been identified as a key issue by the
community. Stillwater is fortunate to own a
majority of the St. Croix riverfront. These lands
should be maintained and enhanced for the
benefit of the citizens of Stillwater and visitors to
the St. Croix Valley.
Goal 1: Provide a variety of parks and other
leisure, recreational and cultural opportunities that
are area accessible, affordable, safe, physically
attractive and uncrowded for all Stillwater
residents.
Goal 3: Provide both passive and active
recreational opportunities for Stillwater residents.
Goal 4: Provide safe and accessible parks and
recreational facilities.
Goal 5: Work with other local governments, the
school district and Washington County to develop
a St. Croix Valley recreation and facilities plan.
Stillwater's parks are a key component of the city's
open space system and give identity to the
various neighborhoods and the community. Parks
can be differentiated from one another through
variety of plantings, unique play structure,
art/sculpture arrangement of sitting and picnic
areas and types of organized play areas. An
architectural theme and uniform signs or symbols
can be used to tie parks together. Community
parks serve a significant portion of the city by
providing facilities and recreation activities beyond
those supplied by neighborhood parks. These
parks need to be planned for large-group
activities. Parking, restroom facilities and picnic
areas are key elements in the development of
community parks.
The future of the old athletic field and the Jaycee
Ballfield will present a critical opportunity to add'
needed park space in fully developed
neighborhoods. The city should obtain these sites
from the school district if they become available
and should prepare a plan for the park with
neighborhood residents.
Existing neighborhood and community parks are
shown on the parks map.
8-1
Objectives, Policies and Programs
Parks Standards
Objectives:
Bring the amount of Stillwater's park land into
compliance with the city's adopted minimum
standards (community park land at 3 acres per
1,000 population and neighborhood park land at
7 acres per 1,000 population).
Provide a balance of recreation opportunities,
including facilities to serve the varied interest of
the population.
Designate adequate park sites for the future
development of the city.
Upgrade existing parks.
Provide for an annual evaluation, maintenance
and replacement of recreational facilities.
Policy 1: The city shall require all new development to
dedicate land or pay a park fee according to the park
dedication policy.
Policy 2: The city shall obtain and develop new public parks
at a rate consistent with new residential development.
Policy 3: The city shall develop community parks consistent
with growth of the city's population.
Policy 4: As a standard the city shall strive to provide park
facilities within one-quarter mile or less of residents living
within the residential areas of Stillwater without intrusion of
major physical barriers.
Policy 5: The city will provide recreation activity sites to
respond to the needs of a diverse population. These needs
include ravine systems, trailways for pedestrians, joggers
and bicyclists and non-traditional types of recreation such as
habitat restoration projects, community gardens and
rollerblading.
Policy 6: The development of private sector recreation
facilities in the appropriate locations shall be encouraged.
Policy 7: Joint local government development of community
recreation facilities shall be encouraged.
Policy 8: The city shall consider the needs of the elderly' and
handicapped when planning new or redesigning exi~ting
parks.
Program (1) As a part of the neighborhood planning process
inventory residential park needs and accommodate
neighborhood park locations..
Program (2) The city shall study and pursue various means
of funding the acquisition, operation and maintenance of
park, open space trail, and recreation facilities.

Program (3) Complete the River Front Park Master Plan
which includes the Aiple Property and Kolliner Park.
Program (4) Locate a community park facility in the
Business Park area.
Program (5) Acquire and develop land west of Long Lake in
the URTPA area for community park purposes. Insure public
assess and views of the lake and provide pedestrian paths
along the Long Lake and Brown's Creek.

" '
Program (6) Coordinate city park development with school
planning to support joint use of facilities.
Efficient Use of Facilities
Objectives:
Maximize opportunities for the joint use of public
land and facilities such as schools, detention
ponds and area under the jurisdiction of other
public agencies that have land available for
possible recreation purposes.
Maximize the extended use of existing public
facilities for year-round and evening use.
Policy 9: The city shall work with the school districts in
identifying and evaluating the potential for park acquisition of
school sites which might become surplus school lands.
Because of the open space already associated
with school sites, they are ideal sources of
additional park land. A priority for the reuse of
surplus school sites and existing athletic fields
should be for park or recreation purposes.
Program (7) Consider cooperative efforts with the school
district, public utilities and the city in order to develop parks,
retain open space areas and recreation facilities and provide
programs.
The city will benefit by identifying recreation areas
that are owned by school district or other public
entities and seek permission to use those lands
for recreation programs or facilities.
Program (8) Develop a list of available public park facilities.
Periodically update and distribute this list to community
groups.
Program (9) Work with the school district to establish the
joint use of land for park purposes at Washington School.
Program (10) Develop and implement a program for year-
around use of some recreation facilities.
Program (11) Explore methods to implement the URTPA
park and trail system with Stillwater Township and
Washington County.
Park Location and Design
Objectives:
Locate new neighborhood parks in areas not
necessarily adjacent to schools in order to better
distribute urban open space and to enhance
neighborhood identity. This is especially
applicable in the South Hill and Oak Glen planning
areas.
Design park and recreation facilities to serve the
recreation and social needs of residents of all
ages, economic situations and physical abilities.
Design parks to enhance neighborhood identity
and character as well as to serve recreation
functions.
Policy 10: Residential developments adjacent to parks or
open spaces should be encouraged to provide direct access
to and common open space contiguous with such areas.
Policy 11: In considering the location and redevelopment of
parks, the city shall select sites based on maximum
accessibility, proper topography and visibility (for the safety
of park users).
Policy 12: The city shall promote private open space and
recreation facilities in large-scale residential developments
in order to meet a portion of the open space and recreation
needs that will be generated by the development.
Policy 13: In the design and maintenance of parks,
consideration should be given to impacts on wildlife. In
particular, it should be recognized that native plant species
may be best suited for providing wildlife cover and food
sources and that herbicides, pesticides and fungicides may
be damaging to native plants and wildlife.
Program (12) Establish a volunteer program to help maintain
and enhance neighborhood parks. Add landscaping,
sculptures and seating. Val}' the landscaping, improvements
and construction materials used in different parks to help
establish park and neighborhood identity.
Program (13) Use the development planning review process
to provide private open space and recreation facilities.
Program (14) Use subdivision regulations and the
development review process to locate parks in central
secure portions of subdivisions and to promote the safety of
park users in the design of parks.

of Stillwater. The network will be part of the open
space system connecting residential areas,
neighboring communities such as Oak Park
Heights, Bayport and Stillwater Township and
provide access to the state trial system. The trails
map shows proposed trailway locations.
Objectives:
Designate an extensive network of trails and
pathway corridors.
Preserve and provide visual access through trail
location quality to landscapes.

Stillwater Riverfront
In 1992, Stillwater prepared a master plan for the
renovation of Lowell Park. This plan also included
a preliminary study of other city owned riverfront
properties including Kolliner Park and the Aiple
properties.
Objectives:
Develop a park system along Stillwater's riverfront
for the enjoyment of Stillwater residents and
visitors.
Preserve, enhance and restore Lowell Park based
on its setting, recreational uses and historic
integrity as contained in the adopted Lowell Park
Plan.
Preserve the natural environment of the Aiple
properties and Kolliner Park while providing
recreational opportunities as a part of the city's
riverfront park system.
The existing Stillwater/Houlton lift bridge will
provide vehicular and pedestrian access to
Kolliner Park. This is an important connection in
the park system and should be saved.
Policy 21: The city should develop a trail system to connect
the Aiple property to downtown Stillwater and Kolliner Park.
Policy 22: The land north of downtown along the Sf. Croix
River should be acquired for park purposes.
Policy 23: The city-owned Aiple property and Kolliner Park
shall be preserved for park and river open space purposes.
Program (22) Prepare detailed park plans for the riverfront
properties based on the concept plans developed as part of
the Lowell Park Plan before they become available for use
(1992).

~II. PARK ANDTBAlL
DEDIcATION llEQmllEMENTS*
Sec. 48.51. Established.
The City Council of City of SWlwater does
ordain:
-
Subd. 1. Authority. The State of Minnesota has
enacted Minnesota Statutes 462.358, subdivision
2(b) which gives authority to the cities to require
that a reasonable portion of any proposed subdi-
vision be dedicated to the public, or preserved for
public use as parks, playgrounds, trails or open
space. The City of Stillwater has, by this section,
chosen to exercise this authority in establishing
minimum requirements for meeting this public
need.
Subd. 2. Purpose. The city council recognizes
that preservation of land for park, playground,
trails, and public open space purposes as it re-
lates to the use and development of land is
essential to maintaining a healthful, safe and
desirable environment. The city must not only
provide these necessary facilities for citizens of
today, but also for the future needs of the city as
described in the Comprehensive Plan.
It is recognized by the city council that the
demand for park, playground, trails and public
open space within a municipality is directly re-
lated to the density and intensity of development
permitted and allowed within any area. Urban
*Editor's note-Ord. No. 963, ~~ 1-10, adopted Oct. 18,
2005, was not specifically amendatory of the Code and has
been included as art. II, ~ 48-51, at the discretion of the editor.
Supp. No. 24
* 48-51
development means greater numbers of people
and higher demands for park, playground, trails
and public open space.
The basis for calculating the amount of land
needed to be dedicated or preserved for the pur-
poses set forth in this section; the essential con-
nection between the dedication required by this
section and the purpose sought to be achieved;
and the basis for calculating the proportional
share of each development based on the burden to
the city created by the increase in population that
will be generated by each development is as set
forth in this section. In further explanation of the
basis described in this paragraph, this section
adopts by reference pages 8-1 through 8-6 of the
comprehensive plan of the city, and the maps and
drawings associated with those pages as if fully
set forth in this section verbatim.
It is the policy of Stillwater that the following
guidelines for the dedication of land for park,
playground and public open space purposes (or
cash contributions in lieu of dedication) in the
subdividing and developing of land are appropri-
ate.
Subd. 3. Residential park land dedication. Res-
idential park land as envisioned by this section is
that land suitable for active park use, such as
playgrounds and ball fields, or suitable for active
play areas for small children. It is imperative,
therefore, that the land be reasonably flat and in
one contiguous parcel rather than small scattered
parcels.
The amount ofland to be dedicated is based on
the proposed residential density using the net
developable land area.
The formula for land dedication:
The greater of:
1) proposed units per acre; or
2) zoned density.

Subd. 4. Residential trail requirements. In ad-
dition to the requirements of subd. 3, the subdi-
vider must dedicate and improve trails and
trailways that are depicted for the property on the
city's most current comprehensive trail plan, or if
not depicted on the comprehensive trail plan,
have the potential for connection to the compre-
hensive trail system. If trail dedication and con-
struction is not feasible in the opinion of the city,
the subdivider may pay a fee of $500.00 per unit
in lieu of dedication and construction.
The basis for requiring the dedication and
improvement of trails in addition to the dedica-
tion of land for active parks is threefold.
First, trails are normally eight feet in width
and therefore more than one mile of trial would
need to be dedicated to equal one acre of land.
Further, trials are often dedicated and con-
structed within set back or yard space; or within
natural areas or conservation easements; or land
that is otherwise unbuildable, because of various
restrictions.
Second, trails are increasingly important as a
means of transportation that is an alternative to
the automobile. In this way, a trail is merely a
street for pedestrians, andjust as it is permissible
to require a developer to dedicate and construct
streets for automobiles, it is reasonable that a
developer be required to dedicate and construct
streets for people transportation, on foot or bicy-
cle.
Third, the trails within any development allow
connection to the city net trail system. In this
way, the residents of any new development in-
crease the burden on the remainder of the city
trail system. It is only reasonable therefore that
..." Supp. No. 24
any development provide trail access for the re-
mainder ofthe city, since the remainder of the city
will be burdened by the development.
Subd. 5. Guidelines for accepting dedication of
land for public park purposes.
A. Land proposed to be dedicated for public
purposes must meet the needs of the city
as described in the Stillwater Comprehen-
sive Plan.
B. Prior to dedication, the subdivider must
deliver to the city attorney, an abstract of
title or registered property abstract evi-
dencing good and marketable title, free
and clear of any mortgages, liens, encum-
brances, assessments and taxes. The con-
veyance documents must be in a form
acceptable to the city attorney.
C. The required dedication or payment of
fees-in-lieu of land dedication must be
made before final plat approval.
D. The removal of trees, topsoil, storage of
construction equipment, burying of con-
struction debris or stockpiling of surplus
soil on dedicated land is strictly forbidden
without the prior written review by the
parks and recreation commission and ap-
proval of the community development di-
rector.
E. Grading and utility plans, which may
effect or impact the proposed park dedi-
cation, must be reviewed and approved by
the community development director and
parks and recreation commission prior to
dedication.
F. To be eligible for park dedication credit,
land dedication is to be located outside of
drainways, flood plains or ponding areas
after the site has been developed. Grades
exceeding 12 percent or that are unsuit-
able for park development may be consid-
ered for partial dedication.
G. Where subdividers and developers ofland
provide significant amenities such as, but
npt limited to swimming pools, tennis
cburts, or ball fields, within the develop-
ment for the benefit of those residing or
working therein, and where, in the judg-
CD48:10
. .
PARKS AND RECREATION
-
ment of the parks and recreation commis-
sion, the amenities significantly reduce
the demands for public recreational facil-
ities to serve the development, the com-
munity development director may recom-
mend to the parks and recreation
commission that the amount ofland to be
dedicated for park, playground and public
open space (or cash contribution in lieu of
dedication) be reduced by an amount not
to exceed 50 percent of the amount calcu-
lated under subd. 2 above.
H. The city, upon review, may determine that
the developer must create and maintain
some form of private on-site recreation
use by the site residents such as tot lots
and open play space. This requirement
may be in addition to the land or cash
dedication requirement.
Subd. 6. Cash payment in lieu of dedication,
residential. If, at the option of the city upon
review and recommendation of the parks and
recreation commission, it is determined that a
cash payment in lieu of land dedication shall be
made, the cash shall be placed in a special fund
for parks and recreation use and deposited by the
developer with the city prior to final plat ap-
proval.
The in lieu park fee shall be based on the
following guidelines:
Single-family residential/commer-
cial condominium lot. . . . . . . . . . . . $2,000.00
per unit
1,500.00
per unit
1,500.00
per unit
1,500.00
per unit
Subd. 7. Combination land and cash dedica-
tion. The city may require the subdivider or
developer to make a combination cash and land
dedication pursuant to the following formula:
Duplexes... .. .... ......... ... ..
Townhomes . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Multifamily. . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . ..
A. The amount of land which could be re}
quired in accordance with subd. 3 shall be
calculated.
Supp. No. 24
S 48-51
B. From the total calculated in subpara-
graph A. above, the actual amount ofland
the city determines to be needed to fulfill
the purposes of this subd. 7 shall be
subtracted.
C. The balance arrived at in subparagraph
B. above, shall be converted into a cash
contribution in lieu of land dedication
pursuant to a standard formula estab-
lished by the city, which formula takes
into consideration such things as, but not
necessarily limited to, the fair market
value of the property in the plat, subdivi-
sion or development and the percentage of
the total park dedication obligation repre-
sented by the said balance.
Subd. 8. Industrial/commercial dedication re-
quirements. Subdividers and developers of com-
mercial/industrial land, including commercial/
industrial portions of planned developments, shall
be required at the time the site plan is approved
and building permits are issued to dedicate to the
city for park, playground and public open space
purposes, seven and one-half percent of the net
land area within the development as determined
by the city according to the guidelines set forth in
subd. 3 of this section.
Subd. 9. Cash payment in lieu of dedication,
commercial and industrial. In those cases where
the city does not require park or open space
dedication within a development, the city shall
require payment of fees in lieu of land dedication
in an amount equal to the net land area required
in subd. 3 above. Cash shall be contributed at the
time of approval of each final plat or at the time of
site plan or building permit approval as deter-
mined by the city.
The city council, upon review and recommen-
dation of the parks and recreation commission,
may review and determine by resolution an ad-
justment to the fee based upon the city's estimate
of the average value of undeveloped commercial
or industrial land in the city.
Subd. 10. Required plan and improvements to
parks. The developer or subdivider is responsible
for preparing a concept park plan or trail plan
based on the parks, open space and trails plan as
identified in the comprehensive plan as approved
CD48: 11
. .. . .
* 48-51

by the parks commission, and for making certain
improvements to their developments for parks,
playgrounds and public open space purposes as
follows:
A. Provide finished grading, appropriate
ground cover or sodding for playground,
paved trails and perimeter landscaping.

purpose of erecting park limit signs. The
developer shall contact the appropriate
parks and recreation department person-
nel for the purpose of identifying park
property corners.

access of no less than 300 feet for neigh-
borhood parks and additional frontage for

Other Park Improvements for 2006
1. We are in the process of getting pricing on fence, landscaping boulders, and tree
plantings for Schulenberg Park. Depending on cost ofthis and c/o funds left, we
will do picnic shelters also.
2. We are working with Settlers Glen Developers on a walking path, backstop for
ballfield, and tree and shrub plantings for Prairie Park. We will update you on
this shortly.
3. Currently, we have 3 different trash receptacles in Lowell Park and most are
vandalized or rusted out. The trash receptacles I have requested to order are the
same ones we have been putting in our parks for the past 10 plus years. They are
hand made in Glenwood City, WI by A WI Diversified. They are made out our
heavy steel with powder coat paint. They can not be moved around in the park or
vandalized. They were planned to be used in Lowell Park if and when the park
gets rebuilt however we need new ones soon. (pictures attached).

Subject: Upgrade Washington Park Playground Equipment
The City of Stillwater Parks Department tries to upgrade and improve some of our city
parks every year. Washington Park is in need of updated equipment. This is a very high
use park and we also had a lot of requests to improve it. I met with different companies on
what would fit well and be used the most for the area. Attached is a picture and area view
ofthe structure that would go well in this park. We will take out the existing slide since it
is almost 14 years old and need work. We will move the tot swings and lot to the south and
place with the new structure in the north part of the play area.
This play equipment is the same type we put in Prairie Park located in Settler's Glen and in
Schulenberg and Benson Park.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend that we move ahead with purchasing this play equipment to make the park
more safe and user friendly for Stillwater residents and visitors.
