CITY OF STILLWATER PARK AND RECREATION BOARD MARCH 24, 2003 Chairperson Polehna called the meeting to order at 7:05 p.m. Present: Board Members Amrein, Donna, Flinn, McGarry, Polehna, Snellman, and Council Representative Milbrandt Others: Community Development Director Russell APPROVAL OF MINUTES Motion made by Board Member Snellman, seconded by Board Member McGarry to approve the February 24, 2003 board minutes with changes. Motion passed unanimously. NEW BUSINESS The Rotary Club's offer to pay for children's play area in Lowell Park (tot lot). The tot lot is slated for north of Myrtle (lumber barrens). A train theme was one suggestion. Another suggestion was with natural materials (boulders). The Board thought that natural materials would be an added liability and there may be insurance problems. Board Member Flinn does not want to see bright colors in the tot lot playground. Lowell Park is not ready yet with the possible construction of the levy. The tot lot may have to be moved. Motion made by Board Member Flinn, seconded by Board Member Snellman to accept the Rotary Club's generosity. Motion passed unanimously. Response to Park Board's requests for Kolliner Park locks, seeding and Lowell Park use. The Board agreed with Public Works Superintendent Thomsen analysis of Kolliner Park. Motion made by Council Representative Milbrandt, seconded by Board Member Flinn to direct Public Works Superintendent Thomsen to implement plan for Kolliner Park. Motion passed unanimously. In order to impose tighter specifications on seeding, a change in the Park Dedication Policy may have to be made. There was a question about how . much the Park Board could require. Board Member Flinn felt that the fee for the use of Lowell Park is too cheap. City staff to find out what other cities charge for park use fees for justification. Request from school district to assist with Oak Park Heights playgrounds. The board directed Community Development Director Russell to send a letter to the school district stating the City has already spent $50,000 on a park. Request to sell pop and ice cream. The request was from Christian Life Ministries. They wish to sell pop and ice cream at a picnic and variety show that will be held July 20, 2003 from 4:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. The Board agreed that this would not require a permit since they will be selling to their own group. Review of park priority classifications and inventory summary. . The Board would like Public Works Director Eckles to review the list and give his opinion. The Board was concerned about the dead branches on the levy. The Board inquired about benches for the Benson Park playground. OLD BUSINESS NEXT MONTH'S MEETING: Park Dedication Policy, rates of other cities park fees, workshop with Public Works Director Eckles and City Administrator ADJOURNMENT Motion made by Board Member Snell man, seconded by Board Member McGarry to adjourn the meeting at 8:25 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Bobbi Mortvedt Recording Secretary . ~illwate\ flL THE BIRTHPLACE OF MINNESOTA ~ April 1, 2003 Ms. Sheila Eller, Principal Oak Park Heights Elementary School 6355 Osman Avenue North Stillwater MN 55082 Dear Ms. Eller: The City of Stillwater Parks Board received your request for playground equipment assistance at their March 24, 2003 meeting. Unfortunately, The City of Stillwater is facing some of the same budget constraints as the school district. Also, with the cooperation of the school district, the city recently installed play equipment at the Old Athletic Field that provides a new play area for North Hill children. The Parks Board felt the idea of providing coordinated recreation opportunities by the school district and city was a good idea and would be interested in discussing opportunities on a citywide-school district basis. The Parks Board supports the Oak Park Elementary PTA Play Ground Committee in their commitment to safe, ADA compliant playgrounds for the health of the children. Unfortunately, funds for such a project has not been programmed into the city's Park's Department budget. teve Russell Community Development Director CITY HALL: 216 NORTH FOURTH STILLWATER, MINNESOTA 55082 PHONE: 651-430-8800 'e'......-....:. \ . . . II II Oak Park Elementary School Playground Project Wednesday, April 16, 2003 Stillwater Park and Recreation Board City of Stillwater 216 N. Fourth St. Stillwater, MN 55082 Dear Park and Recreation Board Members: Oak Park Elementary PTA Playground Committee is a non-profit group committed to raising $85,000 for the purchase and installation of desperately needed playground equipment. At Oak Park Elementary School, over 500 children from Stillwater, Oak Park Heights, and Baytown Township regularly play on a playground which is old and worn out After a recent physical inspection, much of the existing playground equipment was determined to be non-compliant with the guidelines of the American Society of Testing and Consumer Product Safety Commission. It also doesn't meet ADA accessibility requirements, restricting its use by children with special needs. The high cost of maintaining this playground equipment makes preserving it impractical. Ultimately, the inspectors recommended replacing it. The timing couldn't be worse. Stillwater Area Schools fully supports this project, however, no district funds are available to purchase playground equipment, and none are expected in the foreseeable future. In response, we are seeking funds from a variety of sources, tapping into you who share our interest in the safety, health, and recreational opportunities for children in these communities. Enclosed, for your review, is the project summary, budget, funding strategy, design team narrative, existing equipment removal plan and new site layout, along with other supporting materials. Your financial support will provide the children and families who use this playground with a place that offers challenge as well as a chance to develop. It would be greatly appreciated. Donations, made payable to Oak Park PTA Playground Fund, are being accepted at US Bank, Oak Ridge Branch, 6001 Stillwater Blvd. N., Stillwater, MN 55082. Please contact me if you have any questions at (651)351-8606. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, ~~" If~i~;;l~~~ Sheila Eller, Oak Park Elementary School Prin'al and Oak Park PT A Playground Committee Enclosures Oak Park Elementary School, 6355 Osman Ave. N., Stillwater, MN 55082 1 .. . , . . . II II Oak Park Elementary School Playground Project Attachment A Project Summary POPULATIONS CONCERNED Oak Park Elementary School is located in a primarily residential neighborhood, bordered by the cities of Stillwater and Oak Park Heights. The school's playground serves approximately 500 children during each school day, and an average of 125 more children during the before- and after-school care programs. These children are residents of Stillwater, Oak Park Heights, and Bay town Township. Families from the neighborhood use the playground as a gathering place, too, including grandparents who enjoy having a play place for visiting grandchildren within walking distance of their home. Additionally, up to 500 children and youth participate in sports programs at the school's adjacent athletic fields and the playground serves as a play place for siblings to be entertained during brother or sister's practice or game nearby. The Oak Park playground is an important facility to both the school and community, and is often in use for up to twelve hours per day, year round. DESIRED OUTCOMES: I.Promote Childrens' Safety Oak Park Elementary has already taken steps to improve the safety of children in their classrooms and as they arrive and leave the school. Now we want to extend the progress to the playground. Our goal is to upgrade the safety and quality of childrens' play by removing the aged equipment prior to installing the new structure. After a recent physical inspection, much of the existing playground equipment was determined to be non-compliant with the guidelines of the American Society of Testing and Consumer Product Safety Commission. The high cost of maintaining this playground equipment makes preserving it impractical. Ultimately, the inspectors recommended replacing it. -The proposed new design is age-appropriate and sized to adequately accommodate the number of children at the school, while also providing equipment and surface materials that conform to current safety standards. Oak Park Elementary School, 6355 Osman Ave. N., Stillwater, MN 55082 ., 't, . . . II II Oak Park Elementary School Playground Project PrQject Summary (continued) 2. Promote Childrens' Health and Recreation In addition to our childrens' safety, we are concerned about their health. It has been widely reported that young people in this country are less active and more overweight than anytime in recent history. It is vital that we offer an exciting play place to encourage our children to play actively. The current playground pieces at Oak Park Elementary School are sorely lacking in both exciting play and well-rounded fitness. -The proposed new design encourages children to climb, crawl, slide, balance, hang, and stretch in an environment which otTers challenge as well as a chance to develop. It will provide an engaging outlet for their energies and creativity. 3. Promote Inclusion for All Children Our current playground doesn't meet ADA accessibility requirements, restricting its use by children with special needs. The equipment and the underlying surface are out of compliance. -The proposed new design includes a concrete sidewalk/ramp and an engineered wood fiber surface to encourage play by chUdren of all abilities. 4. Promote Strong Communities Playgrounds bring communities together by providing an attractive atmosphere for neighborhood and family gatherings. Building a safe and exciting playground at Oak Park Elementary School would be an asset to the neighborhood. It would provide the children and families who use this play space with a similar experience to those who use the safe and modern play areas at the other schools in the district, as well as in the city parks. -The proposed new design creates a safe, accessible, fitness-promoting, imagination- enhancing, and friendship-forging recreational area for the families in our communities. Oak Park Elementary School, 6355 Osman Ave. N., Stillwater, MN 55082 . . . ~ . II II Oak Park Elementary School Playground Project PrQject Summary (continued) SITUATION The timing of this critically needed playground upgrade couldn't be worse. Stillwater Area Schools fully supports this project, however, no district funds are currently available to purchase playground equipment, and none are expected in the foreseeable future. In response, we are seeking funds from a variety of sources, tapping into those who share our interest in the safety, health, and recreational opportunities for children. FUNDING STRATEGY We are approaching this project in a fiscally responsible way. All labor and time required to design the playground and raise the needed funds comes from volunteers. We are fortunate to have supportive individuals who have generously provided organizational, architectural, grant writing, and other professional skills, at no charge. Materials, such as postage, stationery, printing, and aerial photography, have also been donated. Parents, grandparents, and other community members will volunteer their labor for the actual installation of the playground equipment, saving an estimated $10,000 towards the overall cost. We have kept the project expenses to a bare minimum and hope to achieve our goal of installing the new playground equipment during the Fall of 2003. The cost of this project is $85,000. Oak Park Elementary PIA has organized a multi.faceted fundraising effort to build an exciting and safe playground for the children. We are seeking funds from a variety of sources, tapping into those who share our interest in the safety, health, and recreational opportunities for children in this community. Oak Park Elementary parents, students, and staff are leading the fundraising effort through direct donation, sales, and the production of community events. We hope to also gain fmancial and in-kind support from the cities of Oak Park Heights and Stillwater, local residents, businesses, corporations, and foundations, through personal appeal, direct mail, and grant requests. This is a widely- used community playground and financial support will provide the children and families who use this playground with a place that offers challenge as well as a chance to develop, in an aesthetically pleasing environment. Oak Park Elementary School, 6355 Osman Ave. N., Stillwater, MN 55082 . . . 9, II Oak Park Elementary School Playground Project Attachment B Projected Budget Overview The total estimated cost of the project, including preparation of grounds, purchase of equipment and surfacing, and installation will be $85,000. The breakdown of anticipated expenses and income are outlined below.

II II Oak Park Elementary School Playground Project Attachment C In-kind Support We are approaching this project in a fiscally responsible way. Our greatest cost-saving strategy is to operate with a predominantly volunteer staff. The majority of labor and skills needed to plan and implement this project have been or will be provided by those who are willing to donate time. Individual Oak Park School parents have provided architectural skill support, aerial photography, writing for numerous grant applications, publicity, copy service, etc. Many of the incidental materials (stamps, paper supplies, etc.) have also been provided, as needed. Furthermore, parents, grandparents, and other community members will volunteer their labor for the actual installation of the playground equipment. This saves an estimated $10,000 towards the overall cost. Although we have not tallied the dollar amount of the in- kind support from the volunteers, we know our costs are considerably lower due to the generosity of people who are committed to serving children's needs. rrQjectect. Funding Income The resources needed to complete this project will be raised through a variety of sources, tapping into those who share our interest in the safety, health, and recreational opportunities for children in this area. Oak Park Elementary parents, students, and staff are leading the fundraising effort through direct donation, sales, and the production of community events. Our big fundraising event takes place in May, and our Oak Park School family donations campaign begins in late April. We hope to also gain fmancial and in-kind support from the cities of Oak Park Heights and Stillwater, Bay town Township, local residents, businesses, corporations, and foundations through personal appeal, direct mail, and grant requests.

'. . . e II II Oak Park Elementary School Playground Project Attachment D Destgn Committee Narrative January 2003 Site Conditions The Design Committee obtained an aerial photo of the existing site at a scale of I inch = 50 feet from Washington County. This photo shows the site in plan view, overlaid with drawings of contours, (showing drai;nage). This photo also shows the existing ball field with the adjoining playground areas on the upper plateau. The existing playground areas were planned and installed along and outside of the first and third baselines of the ball field. The eastern playground areas, (1st base line), are immediately bordered on the east by a 14' drop in elevation (over a 28' distance). The southern playground areas, (3rd base line) are immediately bordered on the south by 63rd Street North. The existing ball field is supervised and used during school hours for kickball and as an open play space. However, District #834 Community Education schedules this field for softball during spring and summer after school and on weekends, when the area is not supervised. In the playground safety inspection report, it was noted that the existing playground areas were in close proximity to the existing ball field. Since any new playground design could affect the existing ball field, Community Education was contacted. They requested that the ball field remain; however, limiting the scheduling of the ball field to younger grades was discussed. The closest point of the existing school is approximately 200' from home plate. Existing Equipment The Design Committee then focused on identifying which existing play equipment was to remain and which was to be removed. It was decided that although all the equipment without surfacing would be removed, the southern playground areas with compliant depth surfacing (sand) would remain and be monitored for maintenance and safety issues. If removed, new equipment and surfacing would not be provided in this area because of the close proximity to the street and the potential need for fencing. There were safety issues involving the existing east playground equipment, and this area was a potential new playground location. Therefore, it was decided that the majority of the east playground would be removed, with the exception of the swings and the plastic slide. If the east swings were removed, new equipment would not be provided in that area because of the proximity of the ball field, (within 100' radius). Swings also require the largest amount of area in a new playground. The plastic slide is relatively new and will be included in the design area of the new playground. It was also decided that the existing surfacing (sand) at the east playground should be stockpiled while 12" of soil was removed offsite for the new playground area. The sand would be replaced for drainage under the planned 10" depth wood fiber accessible surfacing, which would then be level with the adjacent ground elevation. Drain tile would be installed along the north, west and south perimeter of the new playground. Oak Park Elementary School, 6355 Osman Ave. N., Stillwater, MN 55082 J. ., . . . II II Oak Park Elementary School Playground Project Deslgn Committee Narrative (continued) January 2003 Location The Design Committee then reviewed options for the location of the new playground. The existing school is not air-conditioned and operable windows are used. Therefore, noise is a concern to the teachers and classrooms in session when other classes are using the playground. Retention of the existing open space was requested. Provision of different areas for younger and older students was also requested. For safety issues, a location away from the street and closer to supervision was recommended. For the new playground to be accessible, provision of a compliant route from the existing building was required. The Design Committee decided to request that Community Education limit the scheduling of the ball field to younger grades, (hitting less than 100' distance), in lieu of providing a fence. Therefore, preliminary drawings locate the new playground outside the 100' radius of the ball field and outside of the continuation of the 1st base line to the 150' radius, and again bordered on the east by the existing 14' drop in elevation. The drawings also show the new location approximately 140' east of the existing 2-story wing of the school, retaining the existing open field. Although part of the proposed location is within 75' of the I-story wing of the school (noise concern), the majority of the 75' feet is an existing paved area currently used as a play area. Accessibility to the new playground will be via this existing paved area and a new concrete sidewalk/ramp. New benches for supervision are shown between existing trees at the north side of the new location. The playground dimensions shown on the drawings are not representative of the size of the playground. These dimensions only represent parameters for planning purposes.

EXISTING PLAY STRUCTURES AT OAK PARK ELEMENTARY EXISTING PLAY STRUCTURES . . . @) MEMORANDUM To: Park Board Klayton Eckles, Director of Public Works tL ~ From: Date: April 23, 2003 Subject: Response to the Park Inventory and Park Maintenance Priorities Tim Thomsen and I have reviewed the Parks Inventory and Proposed Maintenance Priorities. The data collected by the Park Board is extremely useful in tracking the parks and making maintenance decisions. We do have some comments concerning the proposed maintenance priorities as well as some of proposed capital improvements. The maintenance priority schedule is very a useful way of quantifying where the City's priorities lie. In reviewing the priorities it does not appear that there are any significant discrepancies between the rank: priority and the amount of effort that public works currently dedicates to these parks. We did find however that many parks with a 1 priority are currently getting maintenance according to the 2 priority schedule. In particular trimming of brush, edging of walkways, weeding offlowerbeds, washing walkways, cleaning grills and raking are areas we probably do not meet the level of maintenance suggested in priority I. Instead many of these activities occurred on an as needed basis. Its true that all those parks listed under priority 1 are the parks with the most use and the ones where we get the most demand for service. Parks Department has not added any additional staff yet we have add many new park areas and park improvements. Increasing our level of service to the extent proposed would require a significant increase in effort. The proposed maintenance priority list also shows some areas where the City might reduce its current level of maintenance. Specifically some of the open space areas through Croixwood are suggested for reduced mowing levels. In reviewing these potentials changes, we've estimated the amount of effort per week that might be reduced is approximately 3-4 hours. We can begin these changes immediately to see what impact they have. The new parks coming on line coupled with the State's budget cuts makes it very difficult to increase our level of service in the parks area. One mitigating factor is the potential efficiencies gained with the new public works facility. The new facility has made every employee more efficient and made it easier for the entire department to cooperate. Another issue discussed in the parks inventory documents is the proposed improvements. As a general comment, many of the proposed improvements will require Council approval in the budget process. Any improvement over $1000 is considered a capital outlay expenditure. The following is a list of some of the things we wish to accomplish this summer. . 1. Install new backboards at Lily Lake 2. Convert the Washington Park ballfield from a gravel field to a grass field 3. Fix the water fountain in Washington 4. Remove the antiquated park equipment at Northland 5. Eliminate the warming house attendant at Northland 6. Install the water fountain at Creekside 7. Additional improvements in Brown's Creek Preserve 8. Complete the capital outlay improvements to Lowell Park, Crossings Park and Rutherford As a final note, the Public Works proposed budget cuts so far include cuts to the Parks Department. The cuts to Parks are as follows: 1. Cut three of six part-timers 2. Cut $1500 from the chemicals budget 3. $1000 from the topsoil seed budget 4. Cut $2500 from the overtime budget . . ~,,",/~r"l::J....J .Lt::).. J.O IIHI.:lI~;:)UI'l LHI,.\/ ,11":1"1 NU.t:S:::n VIO~ (f) MAGNUSON LAw FIRM .

Hansen, City Administrator FROM: David T. Magnuson, City Attorney DATE: April 7,2003 RE: In Kind Improvements as Park Dedication The City's park dedication policy is adopted pursuant to the authority given to the City in . Minn. Stat. ~562.358, subd. 2(b), In that statute, the primary permissive extraction is that a "reasonable" portion of any proposed subdivision be dedicated to the public or preserved for conservation purposes or for public use as park, recreational facilities, playgrounds, trails, wetlands or open space. The statute pennits as an altemative, that the City may require the equivalent value in cash from the applicant for all or part of the portion required to be dedicated with the cash payment based on the fair market value oftbe land no later than at the timc of final approval. In my view, if a developer is required to improve park land by sodding, the value of this work should be treated as cash in lieu of land dedication. Further, if the maximum amount of land is dedicated. then there is no right to extract 8 paymcnt in lieu of land as well. If however, less than the full amount of land is dedicated, the . l:j4/l:j'(/l:j.j ll:j: Ib MHbrv~UI'l LHW r 1 t<:M 1'10.851 and that difference co~l1d be paid either in cash or in the value of the work involved in completing park improvements. Then, reasonable standards could be required to ensure that any park improvements would be done according to City specifications. This could include standards and specifications for the establishment of turf. The limit of a.n extraction however, must be based on the equivalent value of a reasonable portion of the developing land. Please call if you have further questions.

Ladies and Gentlemen: The Historic District Committee of the Greater Stillwater Chamber of Commerce requests reservations in Lowell Park for summer arts programs on seven consecutive Tuesdays: July 8, 15,22,29 and August 5,12,19. We want to repeat Movies by the Bridge, which was well- attended last summer, and include a farmers market and music each evening. Last year we were granted use of the segment of Lowell Park between Chestnut and Myrtle, between Lumber Baron's Hotel and the St. Croix River. We would like to use that segment again this year. (see attached map) . We plan to use the Chamber of Commerce's stage for the music and the movie screen, and we would appreciate receiving permission to store the stage along the west side of the park between events. We believe that the City Park Department granted similar permission for previous Music by the Waterfront events. We request permission from the Stillwater Police Dept. and Parks Board to use the parking lot between Lumber Baron's Hotel and Lowell Park (Lot number 4) between noon and midnight for the events, for a Farmers' Market and for parking and access for mobility-limited persons. We are planning to work with H.S.1. and Courage St. Croix to provide transportation for mobility- limited persons in the community. (The management of Lumber Baron's Hotel is agreeable to this use of the adjacent parking lot; they have also agreed to provide space for the Music and Movies in case of rain.) Thank you for your consideration. ~L~k -- Joci Tilsen, Co-chair, Historic District Committee . u U III .

MEMO 1-6 To: Park Board From: Beth Neeck Date: April 22, 2003 Subject: Roseville Community Band Request Dan Kuch, representing the Roseville Community Band approached once again for approval to use Pioneer Park or Lowell Park. At the February 24th Park Board meeting, the original request was referred to the Chamber of Commerce because there was concern about allowing one group to use the park and denying another group since there is a policy in place not to have exclusive use of any public park. Dan Kuch contacted the Chamber of Commerce to be incorporated into the Music on the Waterfront program. However, the dates for the Music on the Waterfront do not coordinate with the Roseville Band schedule. Therefore, Dan Kuch would like again to request to play in the City of Stillwater either in Pioneer Park or Lowell Park. This would be a free concert open to the public. Attached is some information about the Band. .

The play would be Shakespeare's comedy "A Midsummer Night's Dream", The company would be a class/production of The Globe Academy of Performing Arts under my direction. As I mentioned, Diane Rollie, Director of the Stillwater Chamber of Commerce, and Jamii Hansen Blair of the Art Reach Alliance are presenting this to their respective Board committees for possible co-sponsorship. I have also talked with Judy Golden and Nancy Brown of Friends of Stillwater Parks and have asked for their co-sponsorship as well. Briefly, I am the Executive Artistic Director of The Globe of America (which includes the Globe Performing Arts Academy). I have some 35 years in the professional theatre world in England, Canada and the U.S. and was Founder and Producer of the Award-winning California Shakespearean Festival. The Globe Academy is currently underway with a class called Speaking & Acting Shakespeare utilizing our partnership with Circus Juventas in St Paul. The second class/production will begin on June 16th and will be ready to perform in Stillwater on the dates given above. Our needs will require the use of the bandshell and electrical hookups for lights & sound and permission to park at least one (possibly 2) construction-type trailers behind the shell for dressing areas, costumes and prop storage, etc. We sincerely hope we may have your blessing to proceed with this as soon as possible. I look forward to this program contributing to the enrichment of the Community of Stillwater and the greater St Croix River Valley.

A Pilot Program of The Globe Academy of Performing Arts Yanci Bukovec, Dean t*W YORK POST, SATURDAY, AUGUST 25, 197~ , On the Town Shakespeare has come. to eal. By CUVE BARNES ,VlSALIA., Cat A YEAR AGO the Califor- nian Shakespearean Festi. val was simply a dream in an unknown town called Visalia deep in the heart of California's San Joaquin Valley close by the foothills of giant redwood forests of Sequoia Na. tional Park.. A conference was theh called of interested citizens and crazy theatricals, and the feasibility of making Visalia a new home for Shakespeare was joyfully discussed. A.ft<< two days of wall-to-walt talk It remained. as I saw it. a fascinating dream. But a <ire'am is one thing - a miracle is another. Going to Visalia this year I was beset with doubts. Changing planes at some unearthly morn- ing hour in Denver on my way to Fresno, I suddenly thought I must be just about as unhinged as the Festtvars founder and ex- ecutive di.rector, David Fox.Benton. Luckily it's too late to turn back from 'anything in Denver, so I pressed on. What awaited was a miracle. ThIs first Califor- nian Shakespeare Festival has opened its doors with two plays. Romeo and Jv.. JiM and TIu! Tam'ng of the SltTe1D, and in one fell SWOOp has ~Ushed It. self as a major festivaL The two productions were DOt simply promising _ they were brilliant and as- sured, in fact, of the high- est intematiooal standard. ~ principal miracle workers have been Fox. Benton. an idealist with a gift of the gab that could seD snake-oll to snakes, and the Festival Director 1.91'9, ..!i~ lAmoe. who has d1reeled both of the plays. Tbm has also been the cast, the inventively daring designs of John Conklin and the lighting by Pat Collins. The company seems to be pretty evenly split be- tween New York and Cali. fornia - thus many of the actors I ~w" from the East Coast, while others looked dimly familiar from television glimpses. How- ever, wherever the troupe came from it settled down remarkably. Indeed they looked as though they had been acting together for months, even years. Lamas's work is known to me as' an actor - be was at Circle-in.the-Square on Broadway last season - but I have rM!ver seen him as a director. He clearly has flair and imagi- nation. Romeo and Juliet is seen in part as a play about order and rebellion. the two lovers stand outside their atra tifted Renais- sance society and that is why their stars are cr0ss- ed. It is simple concept. played here with enormous conviction and a rare ur. gency. Speed is essential in all Shakespearean., trag- edy, for the impetus, the momentum is all. This arc of action Lamos maintains from the first flash of swords to the final spent passion of the reconeilia. tion. TIu! Tam."g of the ShreVJ Is a farce of nowa- days all manner of sexual connotations.

March 12, 1990 Graduate Studies Dept. of Theatre Arts Gentlemen: . r am pleased to write this letter of behalf of David Fox-Brenton whom I have known for 20 years. David and I met at the Goodman Theatre and Sch901 of Drama in 1970 when he was a student and I his acting teacher~ In addition to several classes together, I directed David in a number of plays. When David left for England to contine his studies, we kept close contact and in 1980, he invited me to join his California Shakespearean Festival as the Acting Conservatory Director. Thus my association with David Ilas been forged on many levels ;lnd I have continued, over the yei'lrs, to m:trvel at his enthusi;lsm, perserve~ance and courage in an occllpatinn which has discouraged many a hearty, soul. David is a very intelligent, disciplined, hard-working man whose talents lie in administration as well as in the artistic areas of theatre. He has the capacity to inspire co-workers and students wit~ his enormous love and enthusiasm for the play. A~ Libby Appel Former Dean LA:hg . /'Ciq tV /I",,",v Ii WILLIA:-1 GOKRAD -1-031 L01'iGRIDGE AVENUE SHERMAN OAKS. CALIFORNIA 91403 . I am delighted to bring David Fox-Benton to your attention. Two years ago I saw David act in a production of Shaw's DON JUAN IN HELL. He was eloquent and exciting, an outstanding performance. Last year I was seeking the best course in the acting of Shakespeare that I could find. I found it right in the Los Angeles area in David's Shakespeare class for professional actors. He was extremely effective as a teacher and profoundly knowledgeable in the area of Shakespeare and Elizabethan England. His infectious enthusiasm made each class a delight. . In my opinion, David, the actor/teacher, has clearly set a professional excellence for all of us. His talent, his demeanor, his grace and indefatigable industry are a credit to those privileged to know him. I recommend David Fox-Benton with enthusiasm. ,'~- ~~_C ~ ~a:- ~\. August 18, 1988 . .

The Board concluded that I should obtain permission from Dave Eckberg of St. Croix Events instead of the City. I did receive permission from Mr. Eckberg last year, and have received permission again this year. Enclosed, please find the confirmation letter I just sent Mr. Eckberg. In the years prior to last year I obtained Transient Merchant Permits from the City for each of my sellers (the Trinity Lutheran Church youth group). Last year, permits were not required. Please let me know if there is anything I should do this year in addition to obtaining permission from Dave Eckberg. &SVid Rochlin S;~;JO HOc;,d i} Suit:::; ~ 2 11 c~ ~ 5542J IU- Of)~ - FYI Beth Neeck From: .ent: 0: Subject: Ben Lower [BGLower@YMCAstpaul.org] Thursday, April 10, 2003 4:13 PM Beth Neeck Lowell Park Reservation 1-D Good Afternoon Beth, Thanks for your help with reserving the park. You asked that I put our intentions to words. Basically, we're all really looking forward to the opportunity for the YMCA to be able to show it's appreciation for all the support the Stillwater Community gives us. In addition to that, this will be a great chance to educate people about what sorts of programs are available through our various facilities. We don't yet have all of the details of our day hammered out, but I would imagine that we'll serve a picnic style meal to anyone who stops by. We'll have some staff there to provide some entertainment (games, environmental lessons, maybe even a magic show). We'll also have staff on hand to talk about what sorts of programs the YMCA offers during the summer as well as any other time of the year. I anticipate that we will have people there from both the St. Croix Valley YMCA as well as Camp St. Croix. Two things that I would ask permission for would be to set up a standing tent that measures about 20 ft X 20 ft as well as using one of our large gas grills. Please let me know if there is any additional information that you need Beth. Again, thank you for your help. I'm looking forward to spending an afternoon in downtown Stillwater. .en Lower rogram Director - Camps & Conferencing YMCA Camp St. Croix 532 Cty. Rd.

Stat. ~S62.358, subd. 2(b), In tbat statute, the primary permissive extraction is tbat a "reasonable" portion of any proposed subdivision be dedicated to the public or preserved for conservation purposes or for public use as park, recreational facilities, playgrounds, trails, wetlands or open space. The statute permits as an altemative, that the City may require the equivalent value in cash from the applicant for all or part of the portion required to be dedicated with the cash payment based on the fair market value oftbe land no later than at the time of final approval. In my view, if a developer is required to improve park land by sodding, the value of this work should be treated as cash in lieu of land dedication. Further, if the maximum amount of land is dedicated, then there i.s no right to extract a payment in lieu of land as well. If however, less than the full amount of land is dedicated, the 04/07/03 ~ '.. ) 10: 16 MAGNUSON LAW FIRM NO.851 [;103 and that difference eould be paid either in casb or in th.e value of the work involved in completing park improvements. Then, reasonable standards could be required to enS\lIe that any park improvements would be done according to City specifications. This could include standards and specifications for the establishment of turf. The limit of an extraction however, must be based on the equivalent value of a reasonable portion of the developing land. Please call if you have further questions.

Ladies and Gentlemen: The Historic District Committee of the Greater Stillwater Chamber of Commerce requests reservations in Lowell Park for summer arts programs on seven consecutive Tuesdays: July 8, 15,22,29 and August 5, 12,19. We want to repeat Movies by the Bridge, which was well- attended last summer, and include a farmers market and music each evening. Last year we were granted use of the segment of Lowell Park between Chestnut and Myrtle, between Lumber Baron's Hotel and the S1. Croix River. We would like to use that segment again this year. (see attached map) We plan to use the Chamber of Commerce's stage for the music and the movie screen, and we would appreciate receiving permission to store the stage along the west side of the park between events. We believe that the City Park Department granted similar permission for previous Music by the Waterfront events. We request permission from the Stillwater Police Dep1. and Parks Board to use the parking lot between Lumber Baron's Hotel and Lowell Park (Lot number 4) between noon and midnight for the events, for a Farmers' Market and for parking and access for mobility-limited persons. We are planning to work with H.S.1. and Courage S1. Croix to provide transportation for mobility- limited persons in the community. (The management of Lumber Baron's Hotel is agreeable to this use of the adjacent parking lot; they have also agreed to provide space for the Music and Movies in case of rain.) Thank you for your consideration. ;;JL~ k -- Joci Tilsen, Co-chair, Historic District Committee U II MAIN STRER (HWYs 36 & 95) Trolley D WATER Freighthouse _Pailk .

At the February 24th Park Board meeting, the original request was referred to the Chamber of Commerce because there was concern about allowing one group to use the park and denying another group since there is a policy in place not to have exclusive use of any public park. Dan Kuch contacted the Chamber of Commerce to be incorporated into the Music on the Waterfront program. However, the dates for the Music on the Waterfront do not coordinate with the Roseville Band schedule. Therefore, Dan Kuch would like again to request to play in the City of Stillwater either in Pioneer Park or Lowell Park. This would be a free concert open to the public. Attached is some information about the Band.

The play would be Shakespeare's comedy "A Midsummer Night's Dream". The company would be a class/production of The Globe Academy of Performing Arts under my direction. As I mentioned, Diane Rol1ie, Director of the Stillwater Chamber (?lCommerce, and Jamii Hansen Blair of the Art Reach Alliance are presenting this to their respective Board committees for possible co-sponsorship. 1 have also talked with Judy Golden and Nancy Brown of Friends of Stillwater Parks and have asked for their co-sponsorship as well. Briefly, I am the Executive Artistic Director of 171e Globe of America (which includes the Globe Performing Arts Academy). I have some 35 years in the professional theatre world in England, Canada and the U.S. and was Founder and Producer of the Award-winning C'alifhrnia Shakespearean Festival. The Globe Academy is currently underway with a class called Speaking & Acting Shakespeare utilizing our partnership with Circus Juventas in St Paul. The second class/production will begin on June 16th and will be ready to perform in Stillwater on the dates given above. Our needs will require the use of the bandshell and electrical hookups for lights & sound and permission to park at least one (possibly 2) construction-type trailers behind the shell for dressing areas, costumes and prop storage, etc. We sincerely hope we may have your blessing to proceed with this as soon as possible. I look forward to this program contributing to the enrichment of the Community of Stillwater and the greater St Croix River Valley.

A conference was then called of interested citizens and crazy theatricals, and the feasibility of making Visal1a a new home for Shakespeare was joyfully discussed. After two days of wall.to-walf talk it remained. as I saw it, a fascinating dream. But a <ire'am is one thing - a miracle is another. Going to Visalia this year I was beset with doubts. Changing planes at some unearthly morn- ing hour in Denver on my way to Fresno, I suddenly thought I must be Just about as unhinged as the Festtvars founder and ex. ecutive director, David Fox.Benton. Luckily it's too late to turn back from . anything in Denver, so I pressed on. What awaited was a miracle. Thb first Califor- nian Shakespeare Festival has opened its doors with two plays.

The company seems to be pretty evenly split be- tween New York and Cali. fornia - thus many of the actors I knew" from the East Coast, while others looked dimly familiar from television glimpses. How- ever, wherever the troupe came from it settled down remarkably. Indeed they looked as though they had been acting together for months, even years. Lamos's work is !mown to me as' an actor - he was at Cirele-in.the-Square on Broadway last season - but I have never seen him as a director. He clearly has flair and imagi. nation.

California Institute of the Arts 24700 McBean Parkway, Valencia, California 91355 (805) 255-1050 March 12, 1990 Graduate Studies Dept. of Theatre Ari~ Gentlemen: I am pleased to write this letter of behalf of David Fox-Brenton whom I have known for 20 years. David and I met at the Goodman Theatre and Sch901 of Drama in 1970 when he was a student and I his acting teacher~ In addition to several classes together, I directed David in a number of plays. When David left for England to contine his studies, we kept close contact and in 1980, he invited me to join his California Shakespearean Festival as the Acting Conservatory Director. Thus my association with David has been forged on many levels and I have continued, over the years, to marvel at his enthusiasm, perserverance and courage in an occupation which has discouraged many a hearty: soul. David is a very intelligent, disciplined, hard-working man whose talents lie in administration as well as in the artistic areas of theatre. He has the capacity to inspire co-workers and students wit~ his enormous love and enthusiasm for the play. A~ Libby Appel Former Dean LA:bg , /I ''C//lf/pt7# WILLIAM GOKRAD ~031 LONGRIDGE AVENUE SHERMAN OAKS. CALIFORNIA 91403 I am delighted to bring David Fox-Benton to your attention. Two years ago I saw David act in a production of Shaw's DON JUAN IN HELL. He was eloquent and exciting, an outstanding performance. Last year I was seeking the best course in the acting of Shakespeare that I could find. I found it right in the Los Angeles area in David's Shakespeare class for professional actors. He was extremely effective as a teacher and profoundly knowledgeable in the area of Shakespeare and Elizabethan England. His infectious enthusiasm made each class a delight. In my opinion, David, the actor/teacher, has clearly set a professional excellence for all of us. His talent, his demeanor, his grace and indefatigable industry are a credit to those privileged to know him. I recommend David Fox-Benton with enthusiasm. ~~~~ August 18, 1988 THE CHANHASSEN VILLAGER Thurs., May 23, 1991 Vol. 4, Issue 33 r Summer theater camp: _ Excelsior offers Shakespeare summer stock , h........................'.................................. ~< r~~ <cr\.<....

You asked that I put our intentions to words. Basically, we're all really looking forward to the opportunity for the YMCA to be able to show it's appreciation for all the support the Stillwater Community gives us. In addition to that, this will be a great chance to educate people about what sorts of programs are available through our various facilities. We don't yet have all of the details of our day hammered out, but I would imagine that we'll serve a picnic style meal to anyone who stops by. We'll have some staff there to provide some entertainment (games, environmental lessons, maybe even a magic show). We'll also have staff on hand to talk about what sorts of programs the YMCA offers during the summer as well as any other time of the year. I anticipate that we will have people there from both the St. Croix Valley YMCA as well as Camp St. Croix. Two things that I would ask permission for would be to set up a standing tent that measures about 20 ft X 20 ft as well as using one of our large gas grills. Please let me know if there is any additional information that you need Beth. Again, thank you for your help. I'm looking forward to spending an afternoon in downtown Stillwater.
