City Council Meeting
April 21, 2009
OPEN FORUM
Mark Lokowich, 1420 N. Fourth St., expressed a concern about Stillwater Country Club
golfers parking in front of his house and on his lawn and asked that a sign be placed in
front of his property indicating "no parking here to corner." He said a sign indicating
"resident parking only" has been ineffective. It was agreed to have Police Chief
Gannaway and Public Works Director Sanders look at the situation and come back to
the Council with a recommendation.
Brent Peterson, 502 W. Churchill St. and executive director of the Washington County
Historical Society, told the Council that for the 68th summer the Historical Society would
be opening the Warden's House Museum for public tours. He invited the Council and
public to a grand pre-opening of the Warden's House and new exhibits on Sunday, April
26.
Mike Robinson, 801 W. Pine St., Elephant Walk B&B, spoke of the City's Design
Manual as it pertains to the screening of visual blight in the downtown area. He showed
some slides of dumpsters and utilities, some of which are located on public property,
that are not screened and are visible to the public. He spoke of the negative impact on
visitors to the downtown. Mayor Harycki suggested that the Heritage Preservation
Commission (HPC) walk through the downtown and look at the issue raised by Mr.
Robinson. Councilmember Cook, Council representative to the HPC, stated she shares
the concern with the issue of how downtown presents itself to visitors and residents and
thought it would be a good start to bring the issue to the HPC to look at possible
recourses to improve the situation. Councilmember Gag noted there are already
guidelines in place and suggested that the City needs to look at its own property and
see what is needed to screen items appropriately according to the guidelines; he also
noted this involves an enforcement issue. Councilmember Polehna suggested
constructing temporary screening of the portable toilets in the downtown area might be
a good Eagle Scout project. Community Development Director Turnblad pointed out the
Design Manual includes "guidelines" for screening, and those guidelines are not an
ordinance. It was agreed to direct staff to develop a plan for dealing with this issue.
James Kleinke, 116 S. Sixth St., spoke of issues relating to rental properties including
parking on residential streets, teen drinking, trespassing and partying, and other
nuisances. He stated City Code does not have any restrictions on rental properties and
that he would be willing to write up some code measures that the Council could review
and consider for possible adoption. Mayor Harycki said he would be open to having the
Planning Department bring some suggestions to the Council on how to proceed. Police
Chief Gannaway spoke of a community policing federal grant the City has applied for
that focuses on a crime-free multi-housing ordinance that addresses many of the
problems raised in this discussion. City Attorney Magnuson pointed out the City adopted
a comprehensive housing code in the 1950s which included specifications for rental
properties, standards for construction and livability, etc; and that section of the code
was later eliminated because it was not being enforced. Mayor Harycki suggested some
of the issues raised apply to the City as a whole, all residential properties, not just rental
Page 2 of 9

properties, Councilmember Polehna suggested contacting Winona or another college
town to see what they do to control the behavior of tenants. It was agreed to direct staff
to make recommendations on how to move forward in addressing this issue.
STAFF REPORTS
Fire Chief Glaser reminded the public that burning restrictions are in place and will
remain in place until lifted by the DNR.
City Clerk Ward told the Council two applications had been received for the Traffic
Committee and information soliciting applicants for the special events task force has
been posted on the web site and sent to the local newspapers; deadline for applications
is April 30, 2009.
Community Development Director Turnblad provided an update on the parking ramp
project. He said construction is on schedule, but a problem has been encountered due
to the instability of the south-facing face of the bluff behind Rivertown Commons which
has necessitated a redesign of the northwest corner of the ramp. He reviewed the
design changes which will result in the overall loss of three parking spaces and will
likely be about a wash as far as cost. Councilmember Roush asked about the status of
a request for a parking permit/fee waiver from Rivertown Commons residents; Mr.
Turnblad stated that issue was on the agenda of the next meeting of the Downtown
Parking Commission. Councilmember Polehna said he would like staff to work with
Library Director Bertalmio to see what the City can do to help alleviate problems with
wedding photos caused by the construction equipment.
Public Works Director Sanders told the Council that someone has volunteered to do the
water quality sampling at Lily Lake, which will save the City about $1,000.
Mr. Sanders stated that Middle St. Croix Water Management Organization (WMO) has
approved some cost sharing for the testing of the wetlands by Lake McKusick and the
former City dump, which will result in about a $300 savings for that testing. As
discussed previously by the Council, he discussed the possibility of dissolving the
Middle St. Croix WMO and combining that entity with the Brown's Creek Watershed
District with several of the WMO board members and found those board members were
not receptive to that possibility. It was noted the WMO is a joint powers agreement and
would require a three-fourths vote from the member communities to dissolve the
organization.
Finance Director Harrison referred to the 2010 budget calendar in the agenda packet
and asked the Council to consider dates for budget workshops in July and August. It
was decided to firm up the dates after consulting the Council's work plan.
Mayor Harycki noted that staff is to bring back recommendations regarding both rental
properties and residential properties and nuisance issues as well as downtown trash
Page 3 of 9
City Council Meeting

enclosures and asked that the annual work plan be attached to the agenda packets or
left at the Council's work stations to be lU)dated.
CONSENT AGENDA
Mayor Harycki asked about a bill related to the unpaid balance on a forfeiture vehicle.
Chief Gannaway said this was a shared forfeiture and the value of the vehicle was
worth paying the balance; the vehicle was subsequently sold at auction and the City
realized a bit more than the unpaid balance, according to the Chief and Finance
Director Harrison. Councilmember Cook asked about a billing for Mobile Vision; City
Administrator Hansen explained this was two billings, one for the annual maintenance
agreement and another for an equipment purchase. Councilmember Cook also asked
about the billing for the Veterans Memorial parking lot maintenance; City Administrator
Hansen explained the arrangement for the parking lot maintenance, and it was noted
the billing actually amounts to pass-through funds.
Motion by Councilmember Gag, seconded by Councilmember Polehna to approve the Consent
Agenda.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Possible approval of amendment to Stillwater Marathon Contract
City Attorney Magnuson explained that the organizers of the Stillwater Marathon would
like to be able to serve a complimentary beer to participants after the race, a practice
that is traditional in these marathons. He said the contract as written prohibits the sale,
use or serving of alcohol. So in order to accommodate the requested amenity for the
race participants, the contract would have to be amended slightly. Marathon organizer
David Eckberg was present. Mr. Eckberg stated participants will be issued tickets that
will allow participants to visit downtown establishments and have a beverage with their
families; the request is specifically to be able to offer a beverage on the runners' side of
the barrier, for runners only. Mr. Eckberg explained this is a fairly traditional practice,
and security would be on hand to make sure runners do not leave the park with any
Page 4 of 9
City Council Meeting
April 21, 2009
beverage. Mr. Eckberg said he doesn't anticipate that much beer will be distributed, but
they would like to be good hosts. Police Chief Gannaway said as long as the area is
fenced in and the beer distribution is limited in scope, he would be OK with it. Fire Chief
Glaser said the potential presence of vendors brings up other issues that have not been
discussed up to this point. Councilmember Roush brought up the issue of enforcement
and the potential for serving under age marathon participants. Councilmember Gag
stated that while he is a big supporter of the marathon, he would rather see how the first
year works before making any changes. It was consensus to stay with the plan to issue
tickets to local establishments and not make any changes for this year. After discussion,
Mr. Eckberg withdrew his request.
Zonina restrictions based on heiaht of structures
City Attorney Magnuson said after discussion at the previous Council meeting, he
believes it would be permissible to provide that the conditional use permit request for
any structure over 50' in height, no matter what type of structure, be heard by the City
Council rather than the Planning Commission. However, Mr. Magnuson spoke to a
possible downside of making such a change - it would eliminate the current "safety
valve" of having the City Council serve as an appellant hearing for folks who wish to
appeal a decision by the Planning Commission. Councilmember Roush said it was his
intention to still have these requests heard first by the Planning Commission with the
final decision made by the Council. City Attorney Magnuson said there are several types
of cases that are handed that way now, and it would be possible to just add the height
items to that list of cases. It was noted that the zoning text amendment related to the
radio and television towers scheduled for a second reading does state that the City
Council has the final decision-making authority for those special use permits.
Councilmember Polehna suggested that Councilmember Roush's concern was with all
height variances, not just variances for radio/television towers. To address that concern,
Community Development Director Turnblad suggested amending the ordinance to
indicate that any variance for a structure over 50' tall requires a conditional use permit
that would have to come before the City Council. Members were in support of Mr.
Turnblad's suggestion, and it was agreed to bring the issue to the Planning Commission
and craft some suggested language for the ordinance amendment.
Lobbvist Discussion
It was agreed to discuss this issue at the May 8 Council retreat.
Discussion on 4-plex issue
City Attorney Magnuson stated it has been decided that the safest way to proceed with
dealing with the property in question is to request an order from the District Court; that
has been done, with the hearing set for May 1. He said he would keep the Council
updated on the situation.

final approval of the use permits for any towers.
Motion by Councilmember Roush, seconded by Councilmember Polehna to adopt Ordinance

Staples Field - Basketball Court Discussion
Mayor Harycki stated he and Councilmember Cook had received calls from residents
near Staples Field asking for a resolution to the issue of the abandoned basketball
court, and that a number of residents have suggested permanently removing the posts
for the nets, as well as the blacktop from the court area. Mayor Harycki noted that the
City had donated money to the Stonebridge Elementary School playground
improvements, and access to the basketball courts there, to offset the closure of the
Staples Field court. Councilmember Cook stated that the calls she has received have
been from residents expressing concern about the possible reopening of the basketball
courts, but that she didn't have the history of the issue; she also noted a survey of
residents had been conducted. Councilmember Gag agreed that it would be good to
have the history of the issue before making a final decision, as well as the possible cost
associated with removing the court surface. Councilmember Polehna pointed out that
park planners recommend against have basketball courts located in residents'
backyards, as is the case with the Staples Field courts, but that he would be against
removing the blacktop until the Parks Board has had an opportunity to look at
alternative uses for the court area. It was consensus to eliminate the basketball use and
send the issue back to the Park Board for recommendations on alternative uses, with
the understanding that the Park Board would solicit resident input on the re-use.
NEW BUSINESS
Possible authorization of 2009 Sidewalk Improvement Feasibility Report
Assistant City Engineer Kraftson explained the request is to prepare a feasibility report
for the sidewalk improvement project. He said $50,000 has been budgeted for the
sidewalk project. Councilmember Roush asked that the front steps at City Hall be
considered for inclusion in the project; Mr. Kraftson noted tha,t there is a small amount of
money, $5,000, budgeted for replacement of sidewalks adjacent to City property and
that it would be looked at. Mayor Harycki wondered whether the City might be nearing
Page 6 of 9
City Council Meeting
April 21,2009
the end of the need for larger sidewalk replacement projects and whether the budget for
sidewalks might be put into the street improvements in the future. Public Works Director
Sanders suggested a City-wide analysis ought to be done before making that
determination. Mayor Harycki asked about a possible sidewalk on Curve
Crest/Northwestern as requested recently by some residents; Public Works Director
Sanders stated he had met with three people regarding a requested stop sign. There
was discussion about crosswalks/striping to handle the expressed concerns.
Councilmember Cook asked that staff be mindful of the impact of assessments and to
avoid doubling up on assessments for streets and sidewalk projects if possible; Mr.
Kraftson said that is a consideration.
Motion by Councilmember Polehna, seconded by Councilmember Gag to adopt Resolution
2009-71, resolution ordering the preparation of report for the 2009 Sidewalk Rehabilitation
Project (Project 2009-05).

Presentation of mill and overlay analysis
Assistant Engineer Kraftson gave a presentation on the impact of utilizing mill and
overlay projects in conjunction with total reconstruction for extending the life of City
streets. The report also spoke to the importance of regular pavement maintenance. The
presentation included an analysis of state aid streets that would be eligible for mill and
overlay projects and those that would be total reconstructions, along with a similar
analysis of local, non state aid, streets. The analysis concluded that based on today's
dollars, all state aid streets could be reconstructed in the next 22 years if 60 percent of
the state aid allotment is dedicated to mill and overlay projects and 40 percent to total
reconstructs, while all local streets could be reconstructed in the next 25 years if the
street project budget continues to be increased by 10 percent a year until 2013 with 25
percent of the budget dedicated to mill and overlay and 75 percent of the monies to total
Page 7 of 9

reconstruction. Mr. Kraftson noted that education will be an important part of
rationalizing assessments for mill and overlay projects. Councilmember Roush asked if
consideration had been given to concrete; Mr. Kraftson said at this point, the economics
would not favor the use of concrete except for certain projects.
Possible appointment to Board of Water Commissioners
City Clerk Ward stated the Board of Water Commissioners is recommending that James
O'Brien be reappointed to the Commission.

Possible approval of lease aareement renewal- Max Todo Marine Services
City Administrator Hansen stated the agreement with Max Todo has worked well in the
past. City Attorney Magnuson provided a brief history of the agreement that was
prompted by the early termination of the lease with AipJe Towing which resulted in the
conveyance of two boats - the Frank E. and the Cayuga-to 'the City. City Attorney
Magnuson noted the agreement with Max Todo has the advantage of keeping the two
crafts in good repair and providing the City with marine services for necessary wharfage
work. Tom Huninghake, president of Max Todo, explained some of the work provided by
his company. Councilmember Roush said he would like more time to review the lease,
Motion by Councilmember Roush, seconded by Councilmember Cook to table this item until
the next meeting. All in favor.
COUNCIL REQUEST ITEMS
Councilmember Cook said she had met with some downtown merchants who are
planning a May Day event May 1-3 and requesting that the enforcement of the parking
pay lots be delayed until Monday, May 4. Police Chief Gannaway suggested this issue
should go before the Parking Commission. Mayor Harycki noted the Council would not
have time to react to any recommendation from the Parking Commission.
Councilmember Polehna suggested this request should have been made earlier so the
Parking Commission could have reviewed it.
Motion by Mayor Harycki, seconded by Councilmember Cook to waive the pay parking the
weekend of May 1-3, 2009. All in favor.
Councilmember Roush invited the public to go downtown on Saturday, April 25, and
attend the festivities planned for the first-ever Community Open House.

at which time the Council could discuss the issue with her.

Applicant Mary Parcheta is requesting a Water Slalom Ski Course Permit on Loon Lake.
Chairperson David Johnson opened the p~blic hearing and reviewed the process.
Chief of Police Steve Nelson introduced Sergeant Jerry Cusick; Washington County
Sheriff's Department, who reviewed the reason for the publiC hearing. Mary Parcheta
explained that their slalom course has. been there for about 25 years. She competes in
water skiing nationally and to her knowledge she has never bothered anyone and she
has not heard of any complaints.
The following comments were made:
· Pete Riehle - He has lived on the lake for a number of years and has complained a
number of times. Putting up markers puts the skiers in one pattern where they
turn right by their house which is a nUisance. Skiers come right up close to the
shoreline. It detracts from the appearance of the lake. The lake has become a one
use lake. He is concerned about danger for his grandchildren. He would like to see
this as a natural environment lake. They stir up lily pads.
· Marilyn Forseth - She has lived on the lake since 1978 and used to water ski but
never used the slalom course~ The lake Is such that you need to go from one end
to the other. She loves to kayak and sometimes does it when skiers are there and
she does not feel threatened.
It Pete Linde - They have been there since 1969. He is not for or against this. The
lake has been stirred around since there have been motors. He is concerned about
..
,..
Stillwater Town Board Mtg. - 4/23/09

.
them being responsible if anyone gets hurt. The only part of the lake that is not
homeowners is a trail. He is against the public coming in.
· Rob Cook - They have a boat on 'the lake and do use the slalom course. His son is
into weight boarding and without using the course goes end to end. The lake would
still be the sa me.
· Roland Reyers - They previously did not stay home in the summer and this was not
an issue. The boats go back and forth in the same course. Loon Lake is the most
impaired lake in the area. When power boats come out, wildlife leave and do not
come back.
· Lois Cutler - They have a sailboat. Is there a law against using a speed boat on the
lake? Sgt. Cusick - No, not on Loon Lake. Cutler - You are going to have boats.
She thinks this is fun to watch.
· Cort Eckman - He is a 'water skier and used to use the course and would hate to see
it go. He enjoys watching Mary. The complaints seem inconsistent. The majority-
of neighbors are safety conscious. There is an unwritten law on the lake to try to
run one boat at a time. As far as a pollutant, people also have leaf blowers, lawn
mowers, chain saws, etc.
· Judy Appel - They m6ved here in 1976 and through the years they have all had
special interest in the lake. They have been courteous as a neighborhood. That has
not changed and she would look forward to that continuing.
· George Lindy - He chairs a committee for the American Water Ski Association and
they test boats for tournament skiing. One test that 'will flunk a boat immediately is
for sound. The boat Mary uses is the lowest tested. They try to be as sensitive to
the publiC as they can and try to be stewards of the environment and limit
hydrocarbons into the water.
· Sherri Clifford - They all use the lake and cherish it for different reasons. It is
ludicrous to take the balls out every night. It is better for the environment to leave
them up. The markers are not hurting anyone's abflity to enjoy the lake.
· Sgt. Cusick - He is not aware of the boats being illegally loud. He is certain these
boats would pass. He received a few calls about the course. They have modeled
their policy after Hennepin County's. The issue here is if it is' okay with the
neighbors to allow the markers to stay up. The concern is if they cause a hazard or
restrictions to navigation on the lake. He understands that the water quality is bad
but he does not know if that has anything to do with skiing. Hennepin County
requires that neighbors give permission.
· Sherri Clifford - Do property owners own to the middle of the lake? Sgt. Cusick -
There is legal use by anyone as long as they can access the lake without trespassing
on someone's property.
· David Johnson - How do they determine what property owners are affected? Sgt.
Cusick - He has heard that the course goes end to end so he believes everyone on
the lake would be affected. '
.Jim Shearer - He is the Administrator with Carnelian Marine Watershed. Loon Lake
is an impaired lake and they are in the process of developing a plan to improve the
lake. He cannot comment specifically on this issue. They are looking for inputs that
are stressing the lake. They will be meeting with the community again. Boating
usage could potentially be one of the issues they are looking at. He offered to
answer questions.
"'
, Stillwater Town Board Mtg. - 4/23/09
Page 3
· Mel Voelker - He has been on the lake all his life. He sees no problem with leaving
the course up. The lily pads would go away if the water level were higher.
.Judy Appel - Over the last 33 years, they have worked to actually improve the water
quality. They have all tried to be responsible in keeping the quality of the lake.
Why are Hennepin County's standards being used? Sgt. Cusick - The water quality
here is not the issue. They meet monthly with other metro area sheriff's offices and
all have roughly the same policy.
.Jack Parcheta - He drives the boat for Mary's practice. She is the National
Champion for slalom skiing in her age group. If you want to be good you have
to practice. The total time for practice is about an hour and a half. There is an
advantage in having a consistent course in that it helps other people using the lake
to know where the skier is. He sees no problem with navigation since the lake is
only 45 to 50 acres. There is reflective tape on the buoys so people can see them
at night.
· Mary Forseth - The Sheriff needs to see this from a safety point of view. This
course has been on the lake for a number of years and she cannot recall any
incident.
· Roland Reyers - They live on the end of the runway and it is hard to hold a
conversation if you are on their balcony.
· Pete Riehle - If the course were going the other way, they wouldn't be turning right
in his back yard. There are lily pads that get piled up where the water is only 3 feet
deep and that has an effect on the deterioration of the water quality.
· Lois Cutler - The issue is only the course. Taking it away would not take away
boats.
It Pete Riehle - The course does encourage people to water ski.
· Tom Weber - They have a boat but do not use the course. The lake is not used very
much. People on the course are very courteous. He does not see an issue with
navigation. On his side of the lake noise is not an issue.
The'public hearing was closed at 7:50 p.m.
Regular Meeting - 7:50 p.m.
1. PARCHETA WATER SLALOM SKI COURSE PERMIT - The issue relating to this permit
is whether or not the course can be in place over night. There was discussion of the
safety issues with the buoys being up at night.
M/S/P Hiniker/Untiedt moved to recommend Washington County approve the Parcheta
application for a Water Slalom Ski Course Permit for the 2009 season. (5 ayes)
2. AGENDA - M/S/P Hiniker/Countryman moved to adopt the agenda as amended.
(5 ayes)
3. WXCK PO~E BARN - Jeff and Molly Wick were present. They are looking to build an
accessory building in the Stonehenge development. The ordinance and covenants say
they should build their home first and accessory building second. They would like to
build their accessory building first. A representative from the homeowners' association
~
Stillwater Town Board Mtg. - 4/23/09

~
was present who said that this lot already has had a lot of work done to it and he
personally has no issues with this and he would be willing to take this to the rest of the
homeowners' association. They want to do this to have a place to store their excess
property while they try to sell their present house. The Board suggested he talk to his
neighbors to get their opinion. The Planner will be asked to determine the Board's
f1exlblllty to consider this request due to the currentordfnance. There will. be more
discussion at the next meeting with the planner and attorney regarding options for
Township action.
4. MINUTES - M/S/P Untiedt/Countryman moved to approve the 4/9/09 Stillwater
Town Board meeting minutes as written. (5 ayes)
5. TREASURER-
a) Claim and checks #19104 through #19114 were approved for payment.
b) Mary Parcheta - There was an expense for notice in the newspaper. Carol
Collins will send her a letter identifying the cost to the Township.
6. CLERK-

RE: .
Barge Terminal Property Ownership Dispute
SHORT mSTORY OF BARGE TERMINAL
Prior to 1929, the Aiple property was owned by the heir~ of the Hershey-Bean Mill and
the property had been lying vacant since the closing of their mill in 1913. On January 15, 1929,
a delegation of citizens appeared before the City Council asking that the City consider
constructing a dock terminal on the property as a way of stimulating commerce. The matter was
discussed again on February 5, 1929, and the City directed the City Engineer to begin
preparation of plans for the terminal and the City Council also, instructed staff to begin
negotiations for the acquisition of the property from the Hershey-Bean heirs.
At the meeting of May 21, 1929, the City Engineer presented plans for a public terminal
wharf. The plans were approved by the City Council and they also authorized the purchase of
the property from the Hershey-Bean heirs for the sum of five thousand and no/IOO dollars
($5,000.00). This conveyance was delivered to the City and recorded on the 2nd of April, 1929.
A copy is attached as Exhibit "A."
f
On June 11, 1929, bids were awarded for the construction of a terminal. On July 2, 1929,
the City offered its Terminal Bonds for sale in the sum of thirty-three thousand and no/l 00
dollars ($33,000.00) and construction began on the terminal. Work was complete on August 8,
1929, and on August 20, 1929, the City authorized the purchase of a crane to service the terminal
for eleven thousand six hundred ninety and no/100 dollars ($11,690.00). On September 3, 1929,
the City received the sum of twenty thousand and no/l00 dollars ($20,000.00) to assist in
construction of the terminal from the Minnesota State Board of Control and at the same meeting,
they authorized payment to the Chicago, S1. Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha Railway in the
amount offive thousand nine hundred thirty-five and no/100 dollars ($5,935.00) for constructing
a track to service the dock. The terminal was constructed on Government Lot 1, Section 27, the
property now in dispute.
On January 20,1939, the City adopted Resolution 981 approving a lease for the terminal
for twenty (20) years renewable for another twenty (20) years with Industrial Contracting
Company of Minneapolis. The Resolution provides that a copy of the lease is on file with the
City Engineer but we have been unable to locate this lease.
Thereafter on August 28, 1939, the City adopted Resolution 1014 assuring the contractor
hauling coal to the prison that the City would take measures to assure a City scale would be in
place for the availability of the contractors shipping coal to the prison in time for the Spring
shipment of coal.
On October 12, 1939, the City adopted Resolution 1020 authorizing the expenditure of
three thousand five hundred and no/1 00 dollars ($3,500.00) for new scales.
On April 8, 1943, the City adopted Resolution 1151 providing for tenant Industrial
Contracting to tear down some rotten material on the dock at no cost to the City on the condition
-2-
.
that Industrial Contracting Company pay the City eight hundred and no/l00 dollars ($800.00) for
the cost of City material on the dock that would be damaged in the repair.
On March 7, 1944, by Resolution 1173, the City authorized the assignment of the
terminal lease to a Frank A. Raven but on November 29, 1946, by Resolution 1278, the City
canceled the lease with Raven and entered a new lease with the "Barge Terminal Company".
This was Frank Aiple who operated the terminal beginning in 1946.
In the Summer of 1958, Frank Aiple approached the City Council stating that he wanted
to begin construction ofa fifty thousand and no/l00 dollars ($50,000.00) warehouse on. the barge
terminal property. He advised the City that the warehouse would be one hundred fifty (150) feet
long and fifty (50) feet wide. But then in 1959, it would be necessary to increase the size of the
building to three hundred (300) feet long and fifty (50) feet wide and that the building would be
used to locate a warehouse to hold a super phosphate material manufactured from rock mine in
Florida and used in plant food. Aiple requested that the Council consider granting a new lease to
his company for a period of twenty (20) years with the option to renew for another twenty (20).
The City approved the new lease by its Resolution 2033 on September 17, 1958, and this is the
very lease that is expiring on September 17, 1998, after forty (40) years.

ADDENDUM AND LIMITED EXTENSION AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT is made this 17th day of February, 1998, between the City of
Stillwater, Washington County, Minnesota, a Municipal Corporation, ("City") and Stillwater St.
Croix Barge Terminal Co., a Minnesota Corporation, Aiple Towing Company and Elaine J.
Aiple, ("Aiple").
1. The City and Aiple are parties to a Lease (the "Lease") made on the 22nd day of
September, 1958, with regard to property adjacent to the St. Croix River commonly known as the
Barge Terminal property described with more particularity in Exhibit "A" ("Leased Property").
2. The Lease will be terminated according to its temis at the expiration of forty (40)
years, which will occur on the 22nd of September, 1998, and at that time Aiple will have no right,
title or interest in the Leased Property.
3. Aiple has requested that the City grant a limited extension to the Lease for only a part
of the Leased Property, more particularly described in Exhibit "B" ("the Extension Property").
4. The purpose of this limited extension would be to allow Aiple to finish work that is in
process in order that Aiple be allowed to vacate the Extension Property without damage or waste
and with minimum disruption of the present business cycle. This limited extension with regard
to the Extension Property will not operate to extend the Lease on the remainder of the Leased
Property which will be terminated in all ways on September 22, 1998.
5. In return for the limited extension with regard to the Extension Property, Aiple agrees
to allow the City immediate possession of the remainder of the Leased Property subject to the
limitation that the City's use and possession of the property may not interfere with or impede the
"winding up" activities of Aiple remaining to be done on the Leased Property.
Further, the City will sign and post the area north of the entrance road near the highway
main as a restricted access area so that public use of the area near the Terra Building and crane
will be restricted. The signage will direct the public to the area south of the entrance road.
Further, because of the public use that will be made of the Leased Property before
September 22, 1998, the City agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend Aiple against any
claims that arise by reason of the public use of the Leased Property after the signage of the
Agreement and before September 22, 1998.
6. That the City hereby grants to Aiple an extension of the Lease until the 3151 day of
December, 1998, with regard to the Extension Property described in Exhibit "B", and the terms
of the Extension will be the terms of the original Lease.
1
, .
7. That this Limited Extension will not serve to bind the City to any further extensions or
to create any rights of any kind, vested or otherwise, in the Extension Property or the remainder
of the Leased Property.
8. Any lease rights in the remainder of the Leased Property will terminate according to
the original Lease on September 22nd, 1998.

Dear Nile:
This letter is to confirm the arrangements for the turnover of the rest of the Aiple leased land to the City
and the gift of the office boat and barge. I understand that the Council has approved the offered gift.
As of July 15. 1998, Stillwater S1. Croix Barge Terminal Company will terminate its rights and obligations
to the "Extension Property" under the Addendum and Limited Extension Agreement dated February 17,
1998. Prior to that date, the tenant will have removed all of its personal property and as of that date, you
will be responsible for the property and the office boat and barge moored adjacent thereto.
As soon as I receive a copy of the marine survey of the two vessels, I will prepare for signature by Elayne
a Bill of Sale to evidence the gift of those two vessels to the City. Because of their age, they are
unregistered. We understand that you will assume all liability and risk ofloss for those vessels as of July
15, 1998.
The tenant will pay the June NSP bill and then ask NSP to transfer subsequent bills to the City. We are also
. asking the state to transfer our storm water retention perinit to the City. If you have any questions or can
think of anything else that should be done, please give me a call.

Aiple Marine
Tow, Inc. Ref. No. 27298-5
Date of Survey - June 26, 1998
DESCRIPTION OF VESSEL
JulV 8, 1998
M.V. "Cayuga", built 1929 by Nashville Bridge Company, is an all steel
riveted and welded towboat, with overall hull dimensions of
120' x 26' x 8'. Vessel was originallY powered with 1800 HP G.M.
diesel engines, formerly named "W. W. Fischer" from 1929 to 1935 and
"Kormorant" from 1935 to 1956 and renamed by Aiple Towing Company,
Stillwater, Minnesota. Engines have been removed and vessel is
presently converted to offices on the main deck.
Vessel is equipped with a steel and wood first deck cabin presently
converted for offices. Vessel has a second deck pilot house and an
aft second deck living quarters.
The hull of the vessel was given a cursory survey with a hole noted in
the bow compartment at the center line keel. A 110 volt sump pump is
presently used to intermittently pump the bow compartment. The
internal area of the remainder' of the hull contains an oil fired
furnace and electrical control panels, No determination has been made
on the condition of the hull plating and full inspection would require
dry docking. Due to the length of time since its last dry docking, it
is assumed external coatings would have a high degree of failure.
SHORE RAMP
A 50' X 10' shore ramp constructed of steel beams and plating will
facilitate small vehicles such as piCkUps and autos to deliver goods
and materials to the vessel.
~
It is the opinion of the undersigned surveyor, this vessel in its
present condition has a minimum value of approximately $10,000 to
$15,000 with ramp. With hull repaired, re-coated and exterior of
cabins repainted and repaired, it is our opinion, vessel would have an
actual cash value as a floating office of $20,000 to $25,000 with
ramp.
Survey is submitted without prejudice to any parties or principals
thereto.

MEMORANDUM
TO:
Nile Kriesel, Stillwater City Coordinator J
David T. M,agnuson, Stillwater City Attomey~
FROM:
DATE:
July 22, 1998
SUBJECT:
Vessels received from Aiple
As I mentioned to you earlier, my son, Jim, works for Upper River Services in St. Paul and their
business is fleeting barges going up and down stream and fixing and maintaining tug boats and
barges here in St. Paul. They are really the only surviving entity in the Twin Cities that now
deals with this sort of work.
In view of the fact that we know nothing about what should be done with these vessels, I taJ!ced
to them to get a rough idea of their recommendations.
CaYUia:
They said, first of all, that the vessel cannot be separated from electricity unless a gas pump is
installed because of the leak in the hull.
The cost to tow the Cayuga to St. Paul and to pull it out of the water and back to Stillwater would
be approximately three thousand five hundred and nolI 00 dollars ($3,500.00). They indicated
that the marine survey shows only one hole but there usually are surprises when it comes out of
the water.
Once out of the water, they would recommend that the hull be "audio gauged" which is an
electronic determination of the thickness of the hull which has a bearing on how often it should
be inspected and what work should be done on the hull and whether it should be coated with
either paint or a coal tar epoxy. They estimate the cost of audio gauging would be approximately
five thousand and noll00 dollars ($5,000.00) and a recoating with a coal tar epoxy could cost
around two thousand and nolI 00 dollars ($2,000.00).

July 22, 1998
A man named Dave, who now works for Harbor Services, was Aiple's yard manager for a
number of years and always told Frank that the hull should be inspected and fixed. Harbor
Services definitely recommends that this be done but suggested that interior repairs and carpentry
be done by volunteers as part of a City project. They don't see a problem with allowing the
Cayuga to freeze in but, of course, security is always a concern with a boat in a remote lOCation.
They are also aware that the fuel tank that holds diesel fuel on the Cayuga leaks. If more than
two thousand (2,000) gallons of diesel fuel is put into the tank, it leaks into the engine room.
Harbor Services said that less than two thousand (2,000) gallons should be installed but that they
would recommend that the fuel tank leak be fixed.
Flat Barie:
With regard to the flat barge, they would recommend that the barge not be used either by Lametti
or the Corps in view of the beating that they would give the vessel. They would recommend that
it be hauled to S1. Paul and coated with a coal tar epoxy and perhaps a fender system of channel
steel be put around the barge to protect it from collisions. They think that the barge could be
coated with this coal tar epoxy for approximately two thousand and no/lOO dollars ($2,000.00)
and if this were done and ifit were used for light duty, it could be used for lifetime without
further work barring collisions that do damage to the hull.
Ifboth the Cayuga and the barge were towed to S1. Paul, at the same time, the three thousand five
hundred and nolI 00 dollars ($3,500.00) fee would go up a little bit since it would slow them
down but, would not double. They could do the Cayuga hull patching with about two (2) weeks
notice but they could also tow both boats to St. Paul and do the hull work over the winter and as
soon as the weather permits in the spring, put the epoxy coating on since the weather must be
wanner and it takes about five (5) days to dry.
If you'd like further information about this, you can talk to my son, Jim, or his boss, Lee, at
Upper River Services, 40 States Street, St. Paul, Minnesota. Their telephone number is 292-9293
and their fax number is 227-8456. Let me know if you need more on this.

PROPERTY PROPOSED FOR LEASE BY THE CITY OF STILLWATER
As required by Chapter 16.01 of the Stillwater City Charter, the City of Stillwater is
required to provide official notice and description of certain la,nds that it intends to lease.
The below describeq and mapped site is proposed to be leased by tDe City on or after
November 1, 1999. .
Property proposed for lease:
The Property is described on the attached Exhibit" An, where currently a
City owned barge entitled the "Frank En is moored along with a City owned
vessel known as the "Cayuga", a vessel that is held by the City for future'
use as park facility, but that is in need of substantial repair.
The City proposes to lease the site to Max Todo, Marine Services, Inc. for
an initial three (3) year period and two (2) one-year extension periods to
use as the Marine Service facility.
For rent payable to the City during the term, Max Todo will perform
needed repairs to the Cayuga. The order and timing of the work will be

rendered to them beyond the actual mooring and spudding down of the barge. Max Todo will
also, at the end of the term of this Agreement, move the Cayuga to its final location, without
charge to the City. Any use of the barge by Max Todo or others will require prior approval of

vacate the Property leaving it in as good as condition as it is now found, waive any claim for
\
material or work done to the Cayuga, the barge or the premises and this Agreement will be null

request of the City, any marine services who are temporarily working on public projects on the
81. Croix River on a temporary basis and who are in need of loading, unloading or mooring

City with a certificate of insurance evidencing $1,000,000 combined single limits coverage on

DATE:

RE:
Max ToDo Lease Extension
I received a rather anxious call from Tom and Pixie Hunninghake with regard to their
lease for their barge and towing operation.
Their call surprised as well, since another three years has passed, and their lease
technically expires on the 7th of January. I enclose a copy of the original lease and the
addendum for your quick review. I am not sure whether you would like to propose an extension
for approval by the City Council, or whether you would like their thoughts before we begin
negotiations for renewal.
Call me with any questions.
Yours very truly,
David T. Magnuson

currently a city.owned barae entitled the "F,'rank B" is moored aloq With a city-owned vessel
known as the "Cayuga", to Max Todo Marine Services, Inc., for an initial three year period
and two one-year extension periods to use as the Marine Service facility. Notice of the
hearing was published in the Stillwater Gazette on October S, 11, 18, and 2S, 1999.
City Attorney Magnuson explained the lease agreement with Max Todo. The apeemcnt was
approved by Resolution 99-272 on September 21, 1999, contingent upon Council action to
proceed with the lease after the holding of a public bearing as requirecl by the City Charter.
The property with frontage on the St. Croix River was formerly rented to the Aiple Towing
Company for the operation of a barge terminal facility fi'otn the site.' As rent, Max Todo will
perform repairs to the Cayuaa as detailed in the agreement. The work must be completed
during the initial three year term of the agreement. Any use of the barae by Max Todo or
others will require approval of the City Coordinator. Provisions are il1cluded for the
maintenance of the premises, mooring use, landscapina, the construction ofa lock out gate,
md insurance.
City Coordinator Kriesel noted this is a good use of tile property. There is currently no
tbnding available to make improvements to the property. In addition, the City mUst wait for
a MnlDOT decision on the construction of the intelstate bridge in order to determine the
impact on the Aiple property. The lease and use of the property provides a source of
~ security for the property in the interim.

City Council Meeting No. 99-25
November 16.1999
Business owners are also asking what they can do to have the numerous newspaper vending devices
{' removed from in front of their busincsscs.
Pepsi and Coke have been contacted regarding the possibility of provicling.antique style machines in
the historic area. She has received no responsc at this time.
r
Councilmcmber Thole recommended not attempting to regulate newspaper vending machines
because of the First Amendment issues. There have been numerous SUPTcme Court decisions
upholding the rights of newspapers.
Council determined newspaper stand locations fall uncler First Amendment Rights. They
recommended City Planner Fitzgerald hold a meeting with business owners and the public to discuss
the regulation of soda vending machines and return with a report to Council.
2. Reports from Bm Engineering - Territorial Prison Wall and Storm Scwer Repairs.
City Engineer Ecldes presented a summary of the two reports. The first discusses the proposed
modifications to the City storm sewer system to deal with excess storm water and tloodina on and
around the Territorial Prison property. Two options for modifications were presented. Both
recommended additional capacity be added from Main Street to the river.
The second deals with an analysis of the stability of the wall and cost estimates for rehabilitation.
The report found the primary walls around the prison grounds arc generally in good condition and
are favorable to successful repairs to those areas that have failed.
The report also discussed nonstructural historical reconstruction work that could be done,
No council action was necessary.
3. Possible second reading of ordinance authorizing the lease of City-owned property to Max Toc!o

OTHER BUSINESS
. Possible aooroval of aareement with Max TOOo for the Cawaa
City Administrator Hansen reviewed the agreement with Max TOOo for the Cayuga. He
stated that a list of items that were to be taken care of in the course of their three year
lease. He stated that a majority of the items have been repaired or are in a continuous
state of repair. He also stated that the current contract is for three years with three one-
. year extensions.
Mayor Kimble asked City Attorney Magnuson If the contract included a provision that if
the bridge went through they would have to vacate the premises.
City Attorney Magnuson stated that the original agreement did not address that issue
but is proposed in the Addendum to the agreement.
.
, .
Mayor Kimble provided the history on the acquisition of the Cayuga, its relationship to
the City and the original agreement with the Hunlnghakes to using the site and in return,
they would do some repairs to the Cayuga. He asked Police Chief Dauffenbach if since
this agreement has been In place the vandalism in this area has been greatly reduced.
Police Chief Dauffenbach stated that since the Hunlnghakes began occupying that area
the vandalism to the storage area has been greatly reduced.
Councilmember Rheinberger asked about selling the boat and barge to the
Huninghakes. .
Mayor Kimble stated that the City could sell the property if the Hunlnghakes wanted to
buy it and the City wanted to sell it.
.
City Council Meeting - 03-01 January 7, 2003
City Attorney Magnuson stated that it would have to go through the Charter process for
the sale.
Councilmember Rheinberger stated that he felt it fit the Hunlnghake's program more
than it fits the City's program.
Council member Milbrandt stated that it is a useable tugboat tied to shore that the
Hunlnghakes have made presentable and what the City uses is the barge.
Mayor Kimble stated that if the City would want to sell it he did not know who would buy
it because it does not have a current marketable value. He stated that to make it a
usable tow boat to use on the river system would cost more than a new tugboat. He
stated that the reason the city has it is because It is part of the St. Croix River history
and Is part of Aiple property Interpretive center when that property is developed.
Councilmember Rheinberger stated he felt that it should be off the property books. He
felt it was not a core value to the City.
Councllmember Zoller stated that it is not costing the City money at this time. The
Huninghakes are taking care of it, repairing it, using It and protecting it and the
surrounding property from vandalism. He stated that a decision to sell the boat does
not need to be done at this time.
.
Councilmember Milbrandt stated that the cost to the City to just move the barge for
Lumberjack Days would probably cost half of what is donated for Lumberjack Days, and
that is something we do not pay for with this arrangement. He stated that there are a
few items that should be removed from the list of repairs. He also stated that the
Huninghakes presence In the area has mitigated vandalism.
Mayor Kimble stated that the agreement allows for three one-year extensions and that
the Huninghakes are asking to put the three one-year extensions together instead of
separately. He reviewed previous Council's decision on the Cayuga and It is planned to
be part of the Alple Park development.
Councilmember Rhelnberger stated that this Is not a historic boat; it Is an aquarianism in
history. He stated that if the boat sinks the City has to pay for it, there Is a City risk.
Councilmember Bealka asked if this area would be a good place for the aquarian cars
to launch.
.
The Hunlnghakes stated that they do let the aquarian cars launch from there.
Councilmember Milbrandt suggested that Items 8-Aft Bulk Head t be raised 3' to 4' and
reinforced and 9-Shaft Bulk Head to be raised 3' to 4' and reinforced should be removed
because those items may never be completed.
Motion by Councilmember Bealka, seconded by Councllmember Milbrandt to adopt
Resolution 2003'()8, approval of Addendum No. 1 to Lease Agreement with Max Todo Marine
Services, Inc., for a three-year term with Items 8 and 9 being eliminated from the repair list and
Item 12 to be changed to paint removal and new paint to keep in reasonable appearance.

Discussion on lobbvists
City Administrator Hansen reviewed the two proposals for lobbyist services from
Legislative Associates and Capital Gains, Inc. He asked for Council direction on choice
of lobbyist or to provide additional proposals to Council.
Councilmember Rheinberger stated that he would like to see more Proposals or a time
out on having a lobbyist. He is concerned that with cuts to LGA, the budget Is not going
to have extra money for lobbyist, and with the state deficit there will not be money
available from the state. He stated he did not want to spend money for lobbyists on
issues that are not city issues.
.
City Administrator Hansen stated that Mr. Mike Campbell, a resident, who has been
working for free on the funding for Brown's Creek Imitative believes the City has an
excellent chance of getting the funding that passed the legislation but was vetoed by the
governor because it is Capital Bonding Funds which is a different pool of money.
Councilmember Milbrandt stated that during the budget process, Council reduced the
lobbyist services item by half and at this point, he Is not willing to cut to zero. He stated
that he is concerned that getting a new lobbyist at this time for fear the money would be
spent educating the lobbyist on City issues such as the levee wall. He also stated that a
longer look should be done for the City's lobbying efforts for 2004.
Motion by Councilmember Bealka, seconded by Councilmember Zoller to table the decision on
the hiring of a lobbyist and receive additional proposals. All in favor.
STAFF REPORTS
Police Chief Dauffenbach stated that he would not be able to get new pOlice cars in the
blue that the department currently has. He stated that the department is looking at
going back to the traditional black and white.
City Clerk Ward informed Council that the mail ballots for the Special Election would be
sent out tomorrow, January 8.
Councilmember Rhelnberger stated that he has had a complaint regarding the home at
912 W. Churchill that is all boarded up and that maybe it should be fixed up or tom
down.
.
Councilmember Bealka stated that the house is owned by the hospital and will be used
for Habitat for Humanity.
City Administrator Hansen reminded Council the Congressional City Conference is
March 7-11 and he will need to make reservations as soon as possible.

RE:
Housing Code/Board of Health
When we first codified the City Ordinances in 1980, we carried forward the provisions
for a Board of Health and Housing Code provisions that were also the responsibility of the health
officer, Because of the changes in the statute that preempted local boards of health, all of the
local health regulations became the responsibility of county public health department in 1987,
Further, the housing code had not been enforced for decades and the city council thinking
was that in order to enforce the provision, a new inspector would have to be added to city
employment. Since there was no appetite for a new hire, the City Council chose to delete the
housing code. This happened in the middle 1990s,
Enclosed are both the regulations pertaining to the Board of Heath and Housing
Regulations from the 1980 City Code.

RE:
Mainstream Development Request for Construction Staging Area
BACKGROUND
More than a year ago Vern Stefan of Mainstream Development received all necessary City approvals
(except the building pennit) for construction of the last phase of the Maple Island Redevelopment Project.
The approved project includes demolishing the former Ace Hardware store on Main and Mulberry and
replacing it and the surface parking lot next to it with a three story office building,
Mr, Stefan is now very close to making application for the building permit and beginning the
construction, He hopes work will begin on the site sometime in the first half of July.
REQUEST
Mr, Stefan is searching for a suitable staging area for equipment and materials to construct the building,
He has requested use of the graveled area north of Mulberry Street, as shown in the attached sketch. The
staging area would be in use from about July through December,
The Downtown Parking Commission reviewed the request on April 23rd and offered the following
comments:
1, If possible, wait until after Lumberjack Days to fence and use the staging area,
2, Provide sufficient room for traffic to use the river front road by P,D, Pappy's and the marina,
3, Stay off of the paved parking area just east of the Desch Building,
4, Before the Council makes a final decision on whether to allow the public property to be used for a
construction staging area, notify the marina, the Lofts, the Desch Building and P,D, Pappy's of
the issue,
City staff has reviewed the proposal and has the following additional comments:
}, Public Works Director Sanders
· Restore the area, in kind,
· Mainstream Development should be responsible for street sweeping Mulberry and Water
Street
· Mainstream Development should be responsible for any damage to the bituminous streets,
· Staging area must be enclosed,
2, Fire Chief Glaser
· Must maintain a minimum 20' wide access lane n011h and south so emergency vehicles have
access to the Marina (river slips as well as dry dock area), Lofts, P,D. Pappy's, etc,
· No parking should be implemented in the access lane so the access does not get blocked,
· Do not block any of the fire hydrants in the area with fencing or equipment storage,
Or
Mainstream Development
April 29, 2009

· Wait until after Lumbetjack Days before using the area, if possible, This area gets heavy use
during this time period,
3, City Attomey
· Mainstream Development will need to indemnify the City so the City does not assume
liability for construction use of City property,
ALTERNATE SITE
There are several disadvantages to the staging area east of the Desch parking lot: it is very visible to
residents of the Lofts, the Desch Building and Stillwater Mills on Main; it is a narrow, busy area next to
PO Pappy's and the marina; it would require moving equipment and materials across Mulberry Street.
As an altemate, the City Council may want to consider a site immediately adjacent to the construction
project. This altemate site is shown in the photo below, The altemate site offers the advantages of
adjacency (which eliminates crossing Mulberry Street with construction traffic) and reduced visual
impact. The disadvantages are that the site is smaller and that the north end of Water Street would be
closed, However, the Water Street traffic could be detoured through the Riverview Parking Lot.
As with the first staging site, City staff believes that waiting until after Lumbetjack Days to fence the area
off is important.
If the City Council approves the use of the altemate site, approval should be contingent upon Parking
Commission review of a reasonable monetary compensation for the use of the 8 parking spaces,

REQUEST:
Approval to construct a garage within City owned right-of-way of

ZONING:
RA - One Family Residential
CITY COUNCIL DATE:

REVIEWERS:
City Administer, Community Dev, Director, City Engineer, Fire Chief,
Police Chief, and the Stillwater Board of Water Commissioners
Michel Pogge, City Planner~~
PREPARED BY:
DISCUSSION
Today there is a 22-foot by 20.5-foot garage on the property. The garage currently
encroaches into City owned right-of-way of Hazel St E by 5,7 feet in the northeast corner
and 5,0 feet in the northwest corner, The applicant has applied for a demolition permit
with the Heritage Preservation Commission in order to demolish and build a new garage.
The applicant is requesting the ability to continue to encroach into City owned right-of-way
of Hazel St E by 2.5 feet.
When existing known encroachments are demolished and rebuilt, the City has taken the
opportunity to require the new structure to be built on the land owned by the property
owner. This would seem to be reasonable in this case,
Since the garage is being completely rebuilt, public safety and engineering staff have
requested that the garage be setback a minimum of 18 feet from the back of curb, ideally 20
feet, in order to allow a car to be parked in front of the garage without encroaching in to
Hazel St E. There is approximately 19.5 feet between the back of curb and Ms, Ebert's north
property line, If the Council chooses to allow the garage to encroach into the Hazel St right-
of-way then it should encroach by no more than 1.5 feet in order to leave an 18 foot
driveway.

ALTERNATIVES
The City Council has the following options:
1. Approve the request to construct a garage that encroaches 2.5 feet into the Hazel
St E right-of-way and direct City Staff to prepare a license to that effect for
Council action at a future meeting.
2, Reduce the requested encroachment into the Hazel St E right-of-way to only 1.5
feet in order to leave an 18-foot driveway for cars to park and direct City Staff to
prepare a license to that effect for Council action at a future meeting,

City Council Members.
I have a historic property dating to the 1850's in Dutchtown. I am proposing to demolish
the current 1950's hip roof, double car garage that sits 5'- 5' 7 in the right of way. The
plan is to replace it with a more historic style gable roof/lean to, single car garage, set
back 2.5 ' from the current construction. The footprint would be the same as the current
garage 20,5' x 22', The current driveway is now 14', this would give the new driveway
16.5'. I also plan to put a double parking pad, lined with cobble or brick, next to the new
garage that would have a 20 ft setback.
I feel strongly about retaining the farmstead feel of this historic property. The buildings
which include a house, granary, wagon shed & three hole outhouse, all border the
property, to move the new garage back 5 ft would break up the cohesiveness of this
property that best conveys the 19th century era, one of the only farmstead examples left
in Stillwater.
A new garage set back 5 ft in the yard, would have the effect of a double lot: house and
garage on one lot and outbuildings on the other, I feel to adhere to the zoning
requirement setback is not a good historic, aesthetic option for this property. I have
done extensive remodel/preservation on the 1850's farmhouse, I now want to build a
garage that would enhance the house and outbuildings and further tie this unique
property together. My only other option would be to leave the current garage where it is
and do major much needed structurai improvements My proposed more historic and
artistic design would be a definite improvement over the current situation.
Sincerely,

RE: Melanie Ebertz Garage
I would support Melanie's request for a variance on the location of her
new garage-and the demolition of her old one. I think she spells out the
reasons very well in her request, and I agree with her reasons,
I would only add that our zoning and regulations are geared to a
suburban cookie-cutter pattern, and do not take into account the
irregularities of an historic community, Because we are concerned with the
historic part of Stillwater, perhaps this is a time to make an exception...,

MEMORANDUM
TO:
Mayor and City Council
Torry Kraftson, Assistant City Engine;;;;:-R~
FROM:
DATE:
May 1, 2009
RE:
2009 Seal Coat Project
Project 2009-06
DISCUSSION
A seal coat project is proposed this season in accordance with our street maintenance
program, Seal coating increases the life of a street by adding a protective coating layer of
fine aggregate and emulsion, The streets proposed for this year's project are shown on
the enclosed map,
Five other communities, Bayport, Grant, May Township, Oak Park Heights and
Stillwater Township, would like to be included in the bidding of the project this year.
This increases the quantities in the Bid Proposal and generally provides better bid prices
than if each community bid their own project separately, Stipulations have been inserted
in the specifications that the contractor who is awarded the contract will bill each
community individually,
The 2009 budget for seal coating is $123,000 (including crack sealing to be performed by
Public Works staff), The proposed schedule for the seal coat project is to open bids on
May 28th and present them to Council on June 2nd, It is anticipated that the seal coating
would be performed in August.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that Council authorize the advertisement for bids for the 2009 Seal
Coat Project.
ACTION REQUIRED
If the Council concurs with the recommendation they should pass a resolution
AUTHORIZING ADVERTISEMENT FOR BIDS FOR THE 2009 SEAL COAT
PROJECT (PROJECT 2009-06)
AUTHORIZE ADVERTISEMENT FOR BIDS
FOR 2009 SEAL COAT IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
(PROJECT 2009-06)
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF STILL WATER,
MINNESOT A:
The City Clerk is ordered to prepare and cause to be inserted in The Gazette and in the
Construction Bulletin an advertisement for bids upon the making of the improvement. The
advertisement shall be published once in the Stillwater Gazette and twice in the Construction
Bulletin, shall specify the work to be done, shall state the date that bids will be received by
the City Clerk until Thursday, May 28th, 2009, at 10:00 am at which time they will be
publicly opened at City Hall by the City Engineer; will then be tabulated and will be
considered by the Council at their June 2nd, 2009 Council meeting in the Council Chambers,
Any bidder whose responsibility is questioned during consideration of the bid will be given
an opportunity to address the Council on the issue of responsibility, No bids will be
considered unless sealed and filed with the Clerk and accompanied by a cash deposit,
cashier's check, bid bond or certified check payable to the Clerk.
Adopted by the Council this 5th day of May 2009,
Ken Harycki, Mayor
Attest:

Memorandum
To: Mayor & City Council
From: Diane Ward, City Clerk
Date: 5/1/2009
Re: Special Event - Beer Sampling
Attached is the special event application for a Beer Sampling Event on June 13, 2009, This
item was reviewed by the Downtown Parking Commission and the Park & Recreation
Commission,
Park & Recreation Commission recommended denial (see attached memo from Tim
Moore)
Downtown Parking Commission stated if the event were approved by the City Council that
a $500 fee be imposed for the parking lot use.
Chief Gannaway has stated that law enforcement personnel would be needed and any
costs (based upon the number of people attending the event) would also need to be paid
for by the applicant. He also stated that the area would need to be fenced at the owner's
expense,
The event lists a local charity (Elks Lodge) is tentatively involved in this event. A temporary
liquor license cannot be issued to a For-Profit organization, The temporary liquor license
would have to be applied by the non-profit entity not the event organizer.

It is on a Saturday, amount of people anticipated, requesting Y2 a parking lot (requires Downtown Parking Commission
review), however looks like they are fencing the "beer sampling" area, They will need a Temporary Liquor License
issued to the Stillwater Elks (because they are "for-profit") - temporary liquor is only issued to Non-profits and that is
only "tentative". I believe this would definitely need to go before Council.

Diane,
They have a concern, Their map shows a width of 200' for their event area (no length by the way)
On the north end of Lowell Park. The width from the west side of the parking lot to the top of the wall at the river
Walk is about 175" about 125' from the east side ofthe parking lot. It also looks like the tent would end up on private
property.
Special event toilets are $125,00 ea. For wheelchair accessible and $53,00 for regular.
Thanks
