JAMES R. STEVENSEN
ASSISTANT FIRE CHIEF
I am asking council ,permission to promote George Ness to the rank of
captain. George, at present holds the rank of engineer and has been
on the fulltime department for six years. At this time we have one
shift that runs without an officer in charge, all other shifts are
covered by an officer. During the ISO examination we were downgraded
for not having this shift covered. This promotion would fill this
void and increase our chances of a higher score when we test again.
George would also be put in charge of training for our department.
The difference in pay is approximately $ 150.00 a month and should
not impact our budget adversely.

1. Workshop - Discussion of Pavement Management Study.
Council held a workshop and discussion of pavement management presented by
Consulting Engineer Moore. He stated this is a management tool for the
City for repair and reconstruction of streets in a consistent manner. A
slide program was presented explaining more fully the need for a pavement
manager program and it was further stated that the Federal government has
mandated that each state develop a Pavement Management system, with the
states mandating the counties to have such a system. In the near future
it may also be mandated for the cities. A program such as this could save
money for the City.
Mr. Moore stated a program was developed for Stillwater in 1990, but has
not been completed as to the life cycle length. It was noted that
Stillwater has 76 miles of streets and 74% were in routine maintenance.
Discussion followed with Council and Staff. No action was taken at this
time.
2. Replacement of Entrance Signs to City
Discussion followed regarding the replacement of these signs by funds
donated from the Downtown Council, in the amount of $500.00, and the
Rotary Club. It was noted that the City may be asked to donate a few
hundred dollars if the cost of the signs override the donated funds.
Councilmember Bodlovick again suggested that the Business and Professional
Women be contacted since they originally donated the sign to the City.

Notice of the hearing was published in The Gazette on May 10 & May 14,

Mr. Moore explained the construction of the proposed sidewalks, stating it
was separated into two areas -- the Junior H.S. area and Pine St. area.
The Pine St. area has been dropped until next year when the street may
also be reconstructed, including sidewalks, with the possible use of MSA
funds. He stated the project was requested by residents for the safety of
their children and made recommendations which were incorporated into the
report. He then explained in further detail the construction of sidewalk
on W. Hancock St., So. Sixth St. W. Marsh St. and So. Holcombe St. The
cost of the project is estimated at $42,800.

Stillwater City Council Minutes
May 18, 1993
Regular Meeting
Michael Gearhart, 10C1 So. Holcombe, stated that a number of the residents
on his street are retirees with just a few people able to take care of the
proposed sidewalk and only a few people will benefit from the project.
Also the sidewalks will be close to the houses.
Jo Ann Larson, 917 So. Holcombe St., stated her house is close to the
street and she does not want a sidewalk there.
Harold Hiles, 1303 So. Sixth St., stated he has a fence and sidewalk on
all except four ft. of his property. Also, the assessment roll lists his
name as "Hills" -- it should be "Hiles ".
Del Peterson, 1303 So. Fourth St., said it does not appear the residents
want the sidewalk, but if the safety of the students is the issue, the
school district should be assessed. He noted that the City was willing to
pay for the sidewalk by the Oak Park Elementary School. This sidewalk is
not for the benefit of the residents.
Steve Uban, So. Fourth & Hancock Streets, stated there is not a lot of
traffic on Hancock St. and there will be less when the senior high school
is moved. This sidewalk is not necessary.
Lisa Buchette, 319 W. Hancock St., stated she is concerned for a small
tree in her front yard. All children have been walking in the street and
now it is considered unsafe. She is opposed to the project.
A man living on the northwest corner of Fifth & Hancock Streets, stated
nobody wants the sidewalks and the streets are fine for walking. The only
threat of traffic has come from the high school students. There is no
need for sidewalks.
Mike White, 1222 So. Fourth St., stated he disagrees with the need for
sidewalks.
A woman living at Sixth & Marsh Streets., stated she has a large bank and
a sidewalk would necessitate a retaining wall and would damage a tree.
Also, there is no way to keep them clean in the winter. The City should
keep the streets plowed so that bus traffic goes through.
Lorrie Klajda, 1405 So. Sixth St., stated she would like more
clarification. There is a hill behind her house where the students walk
down the middle of the road and she is concerned that students will be
hurt.
Ed Sievers, 1304 So. Fourth St., stated he has a six ft. sidewalk along
his property now and asked if the City would tear it up.

Admin. Office Dist., Case No. DR/93 -27, CUB Foods, Applicant.
Notice of the hearing was published in The Gazette on May 13, 1993 and

Review Permit for a parking lot for 150 -170 cars located at 100 W. Pine
St. in the PA, Public Admin. Dist., Case No. DR/93 -28, City of Stillwater,
Applicant.
Notice of the hearing was published in The Gazette on May 13, 1993 and
mailed to affected property owners.
These two cases were considered together because they are related. Mr.
Russell stated they were reviewed by the Design Review Committee,` Heritage
Preservation Commission and Planning Commission with'a public hearing held
on the project to renovate the Junior High School building.
Tom Thueson, Director of Development for Cub Foods, stated this project
benefits Cub Foods and City and School District. He presented a
transparency regarding the refurbished office building, a new public
parking area, new property tax revenues, removal of liability for the
school district, Cub Foods scholarship fund, creation of the historic
Country Inn which will take over the present Cub Foods building, and will
create jobs and be a boost to the Downtown business district.
Jay Slater and Pete Smith, of BWBR Architects, presented plans for
renovation of the building. Glen Van Wormer, of SEH, explained the
parking lot. Mr. Russell also presented information on the design and
development of the parking lot., which included concerns from the
neighborhood.

Stillwater City Council I'iinutes
May 18, 1993
Regular Meeting
Jim Rosamilia, Pine & Broadway, stated he is in favor of Cub taking over
the east wing of the Junior H.S. building, but has problems with the other
part of the project. His concerns were that the parking lot will not be
public, but will be used for Cub Foods, they will not have to pay for it
and should, people w*11 not use the lot to go downtown, it will drain
funds from other projects, the west wing of the Junior H.S. has enormous
historic value and a parking lot would be a misuse of that property. He
would prefer that a ramp be built into the ravine because in five years
more parking will be needed. He would like to see the City negotiate
more.
Richard Kilty, 118 W. Oak St., questioned Mr. Thueson's statement
regarding $170,000 going on the tax rolls because the building will be in
a TIF District. None of these funds will go to the School District or
County. He questioned whether any of the neighborhood was included in the
planning of the parking lot. He asked whether Cub Foods could resell the
land after buying it from the School District. He also stated housing
should be put on the west 100 feet of the lot.
Mr. Russell responded to Mr. Kilty's comments, stating that neighborhood
residents were involved in the planning and explained the TIF process
whereby taxes will continue to go to the County, School District and City.
He explained that there is a condition of approval that the area north of
the east wing be kelp natural and a final consideration is that HRA is
considering several 'locations for housing.
Marlene Workman DeBoef, representing the Historic Courthouse, stated she
was included in the parking lot design review and they were told to
consider a plan for demolition. She questioned whether this is the best
use and whether there might be a better use for the west wing of the
Junior H.S.
Barb Rosamilia, Pine & Broadway, stated the parking benefit is exaggerated
because not too many people will park on the bluff and go downtown and Cub
is getting an incredibly good deal. Some other concerns were truck
traffic and garbage.
Don Broman, speaking on behalf of his tenants in Stillwater, stated that
he manages property *in the Brick Alley and they are delighted that there
is parking on the hi'l and any additional parking spot in the City is
beneficial. Also, this development is a significant benefit to the City.
Neal Casey, speaking on behalf of SAEDC, stated we have a quality of life
that is unmatched and the biggest contributors are our local businesses.
We do not want to lose CUB Foods.

Todd Remington, 206 E. Locust St., stated CUB is a valuable asset and it
would be a shame to see them go. He also thinks UBC is a better place for
parking than in the neighborhood and asked if there is a reason why we
would tear down the building instead of considering something else first.
Mark Balay, 416 So. Fifth St., stated CUB should move into the east wing.
He asked about the cost of demolition of the west wing and construction of
the proposed parking lot and if the City is committed to spending that
money tonight. Mr. Russell stated this would be answered in the TIF
portion of the plan after the design is approved. Mr. Balay stated
concerns regarding any changes to the plan after it is approved -- such as
deleting certain amenities.
Councilmember Funke closed the public hearing.
Discussion by Council followed. It was noted that many hours of study by
various groups were made on the reuse of the Junior H.S. and that the
building does not qualify for the historical register or grant money. It
would be very expensive to restore it. Also discussed was the
consideration of residential development on the west 100 ft. of the
property which could become Condition No. 6.
Motion by Councilmember Cummings, seconded by Councilmember Kimble
directing Staff to draft a resolution approving a Design Review Permit for the
renovation of an existing school into an office building located at 110 E.

to change school mascots to something more indicative of our valley heritage.
Next fall we will be the Stillwater Junior High School Eagles and we would like

RE: ICE ARENA PROPOSAL
M E M O R A N D U M
I have reviewed the proposal submitted by Lee Montz, Energy Partners, Inc., and
I have some concerns regarding his proposal. My first concern is that the
proposal lacks specific details for a clear understanding of what is being
proposed (i.e., what is "equipment" and what is the actual ='equipment"-cost).-
Further, in talking to the City's equipment maintenance providers (Cool -Air
Mechanical), it appears that the City could make some modification in the future
if R -12 refrigerant supply becomes unavailable. However, I do not believe that
this would be a major conversion program involving substantial funds.
Mr. Montz does point out a potential future problem in that the chiller system
is over 20 years old and will probably have to be replaced within 5 - 10 years
(at a fairly high cost). However, the future of the ice arena is unknown. It
is possible that 5 - 10 years down the road that a new arena could be built.
• I think the City needs to study this a little longer and to consult further with
our equipment maintenance provider to determine if Energy Partner Inc's proposal
is necessary (Cool Air Mechanical staff will be here next week to look at two
furnaces that need to be replaced and they will also be talking to Tim Thomsen
about the chiller system as well) or if some other less costly modification could
be made.

Lee Montz
Energy Partners, Inc.
2821 Icerose Lane
Stillwater, MN 55082
Thanks for allowing me an opportunity to speak to the -City Council. As. Ttmentibned to
you on the phone, if the Parks and Recreation Commission sponsors my proposal on Monday,
May 17th, I will be formally presenting this proposal to the City Council on Tuesday, May 18th.
In order to not take up too much time on Tuesday, I am sending copies of this proposal to
• all affected parties this week. This way, discussions on Tuesday night can be held to a minimum.
If there are not too many questions on Tuesday night, I expect to need about 15 minutes.
Please feel free to call me if you have any questions or concerns. I would very much like to work
within your needs.
By the way, a secondary benefit which will result from the success of Energy Partners is
the creation of jobs and an improvement in the city's tax base. I sincerely hope we can work out
the details so we all can continue to live a safe, enjoyable life in Stillwater.
Sincerely,

1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Exciting opportunities now exist for Lily Lake Ice Arena to
undergo a self - funding capital equipment improvement program. Stillwater
can enjoy the benefits of new, state -of -the -art equipment while creating a
positive cashflow, avoiding a serious environmental liability, and improving
the quality of the ice all at or Each issue is explained briefly here and in
greater detail in the following pages.
The future of Lily Lake Ice Arena appears to be in question. Some
have asked what if Stillwater abandons the arena in the near future.
Abandonment seems unlikely simply because the building -is only 20 years
old and has a lot of use left in it. The most likely solution, if Stillwater
decides to discontinue opera:ing the arena, would be to sell it. If this -
occurs, new, high efficiency equipment would make-it more attractive to a
buyer. If Stillwater decides to abandon the building, anyway, the equipment
can be returned. This is a lease- purchase agreement, which means
Stillwater can choose to not appropriate the annual lease payment and
return the equipment.
The most exciting thing about this proposal is the guarantee. If the
promised savings are not me:, Energy Partners owes Stillwater the
difference! This means Energy Partners is going to have to stand behind
this proposal for 10 years. Sales hype is not part of the picture. We are in
this together. Indeed, this is why the company is named Energy Partners.
The next most likely question might be: What if Energy Partners
over - promises the savings and goes out of business before the 10 years are
up? Fortunately, there are sa Fequards against this. Since most of the
financing for this project is coming from the State of Minnesota and
Northern States Power, their engineering staffs must review Energy
Partners plans before releasing any money.
What kind of savings can the city expect? Specific savings are
outlined in Section 2.0. Admittedly, the savings will only amount to about
$19,000 during the first 10 y gars. Hey, no one gets something for nothing.
But, after the equipment is paid for, the savings will be over $170,000!

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY, cont.
The quality of the ice will be greatly improved, as well. The new
equipment will be better able to maintain ice temperature when the building
is full of people, such as during hockey events, when ice temperature is
crucial.
The existing equipment is not only obsolete, it is down -right
dangerous to the environment. A repair schedule on the chiller indicates
over 2000 lbs. of R -12 has leaked to the atmosphere since 1988. R -12 is a
type of refrigerant which is so dangerous, production of it is banned as of
December 31st, 1995. R -12 is a key culprit in the ozone hole over the =--
North and South Poles. Released R -12 causes increases in skin cancer and
eye cataracts, smog, immune system weakening, crop damage, - and damage
to the beginning of the food chain.
In the future, it will be easier to budget for Lily Lake Ice Arena
expenses. For instance, if Stillwater chooses to not act, it may be forced to
purchase a replacement chiller as a surprise expense. This could cost over
$100,000. This approach allows the city to be proactive and level the ._ __
expense over 10 years instead of 1 year.
Construction is scheduled for August and September. The ice arena
is usually shut down during this period. So, this will cause a minimum of
difficulties.
This proposal is exciting for several reasons. It will allow Stillwater
to take a proactive approach managing a building that is important to this
community. Stillwater can eniov the benefits of new. state -of -the -art
equipment while creating a positive cashflow. avoiding a serious
environmental liability. and improving the quality of the ice all at once!
Thank you for allowing Energy Partners to present this to you.
Please feel free to call me, Lee Montz, 430 -8056, if you have any questions
or concerns.

3.0 Quality of Ice
Ice temperature control determines the quality and cost of the ice. The consistency of the
ice temperature determines the predictability of what is going to happen on the ice. This is very
important during competitive events, when the temperature must be maintained to preserve the
integrity of the event.
The temperature also determines the cost to maintain the ice. The new pump controller,
recently installed, helps to control the ice temperature and costs. However, there is more to be
done.
- - - With a more advanced control system and a new chiller system; 'ice temperature can be
changed to fit the situation.- For instance, in the middle of the night, ice temperature can be:: `-
allowed to float upwards. If no one is using the ice, why spend electricity maintaining it?
With a new chiller system, ice temperature can be held itioreaccurately, when it really
counts. For instance, when the building fills with people (and their heat) during an important
hockey event, the ice temperature needs to be maintained to preserve the integrity of the game.
Otherwise, the puck and skaters move slower as they slog through the watery ice :A new chiller
system will not let this happen.
Page 8
4.0 The Environmen
Lily Lake's ice making equipment utilizes R -12 refrigerant, which is known to damage the
environment. The Clean Air Act of 1990 and recent 1992 amendments ban the production of
R -12 by December 31st, 1995. Most importantly, a repair schedule on the ice making equipment
indicates over 2000 lbs. of R-12 has leaked since 1988! This is bad for the environment and
should not continue, if a viable alternative exists. Fortunately, one does.
Recent legislation mandates fines up to $25,000 for those who knowingly vent R -12 to the
atmosphere. The City of Still water probably will not be held accountable to this given that the
refrigerant is leaking from the system, not "knowingly" being vented. However, the amount of the
potential fine is an indication of the seriousness of this matter and should not be weighed lightly.
R -12 has been identif ed as a chief culprit in producing the'ozone'hole identified over
the South and North poles. (Every spring, these ozone holes may or may " not = appear;' depending
on the weather.)
A damaged ozone ho .e allows more ultraviolet radiation to reach the Earth. More
ultraviolet radiation causes rr ore cases of skin cancer and cataracts, immune system weakening,
crop damage, increase of ground level ozone (an ingredient in smog), and damage to shallow
water biology (which is first in the food chain). The most prevalent ozone hole has been over the
southern hemisphere. Report cases of skin cancer has tripled in Australia during the last
decade! This is bad stuff.
The new chiller system will utilize less than 100 lbs. of R -22, instead of over 1000 lbs. of
R - 12. R - 22 systems are the n lost commonly purchased today. Our society utilizes substantially
more R -22 than R -12. As a result, non ozone -hole making refrigerants are now being tested as
drop -in replacements for R -22.
By changing to an R- Z2 system, the City of Stillwater will be making a wise, proactive
decision as it manages it's facilities and the world we all live in.

5.0 Age of Building and Equipment
The remaining useful life of a building and it's equipment is a subjective question.
According to the Minnesota Building Appraisal Manual, 1968 -1975 edition, a poorly maintained
building should last 57 years. A normally maintained building should last 95 years. Unfortunately,
these are the life spans of the building, not the equipment.
The American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air Conditioning Engineers
estimates the life span of ice making equipment, like the one at Lily Lake, to be 20 years. The
existing equipment is over 20 years old now and the repair bills are starting to show it. Most
importantly, the expected shortage of R -12 makes the existing equipment near the end of it's life,
by definition.
The new equipment will have a longer life span than 20-years becauseitcwill -utilize new _-
compressor technology. The compressors are the "heart' of the ice making. equipment and- cost
the most to maintain. The new compressors have over patents recently granted because this
technology is so different. These compressors have been out almost 10 years now and failures are
rare. For this reason, it is relatively inexpensive for Energy Partners to warrant the equipment for
the next 10 years!
The City of Stillwater will be able to obtain new equipment without experiencing a change
in the present cashflow! It will be like paying for a new car through reduced maintenance and
improved gas mileage... guaranteed.
• Page 10
6.0 Budgeting
Each year, the City o F Stillwater must budget money to run Lily Lake Ice Arena.
Obviously, it varies from year to year. The budgeted items include labor, electricity, natural gas,
maintenance, capital equipment, and about 20 other things. Obviously, all of these items cannot be
controlled completely because there will always be unforeseen circumstances. However, the -
variable costs for certain items can be controlled much more than they are presently. This will
assist the City as it determines how much money will be needed each year to run the City's
facilities.
For instance, if the cil:y does not act now to change out the mechanical equipment, a
significant equipment - purcha;e looms on the horizon -. If theexisting equipment continues t� -leak ='
R -12 at it's present rate, a significant equipment purchase will be necessary when =R -12 becomes--
more expensive or completely unavailable. This will cause "the ice arena to be down for up to two"
months and the City of Stillwater will be forced to pay for new ice making equipment all at once:
By entering in this proposed agreement, the City of Stillwater can spread the expense out
over 10 years. Furthermore, i:his expense is taken from the existing expenses. So, if the City
presently spends $30,000 per year in electricity, it will still spend $30,000 per year. However,
only $20,000 will go toward: electricity. The remaining $10,000- willso towards paying for the
equipment. This $10,000 remains predictable until the equipment is paid off
Thus, the only portio of the bill which is free to vary is the electricity. The maintenance
and debt service will be accuiately predictable. This will assist the finance department each year as
it tries to produce accurate budgets for upcoming years. Accurate budgets is one way to control
taxes.

7.0 Schedule of Events
The following schedule is designed to accommodate August through September
construction. The ice arena is largely unused during these months and would be a great time to do
any significant work in the building. If the schedule is allowed to slip, the work may cause the ice
arena to be down when it normally would not.

Discussion:
This item was considered by the Commission at their meeting of April 12, 1993
meeting and continued to this meeting to allow a modification of the design
to better meet the frontyard setback requirements.
The current proposal places the garage 91.1 feet from the shoreline, (ordinary
high water mark (0.H.W.)). The garage would be constructed on slopes greater
than 12 %. Under this proposal the front of the garage is setback 18.8 feet
from the front property line. A 20 ft. front setback is required.
The applicant indicates in his letter of application that constructioli of the
garage will result in improved erosion /drainage conditions by removal of the
paved driveway and redirecting the run -off. A condition of approval requires
removal of the storage shed that is located on the top of the bluff.
The garage design is consistent with the design of the existing residence.
A review of the site indicates that vegetation along the river's edge between
the residence and the river was topped without benefit of the required tree
trimming permit.

PLANNING APPLICATION REVIEW
CASE N0. V/93 -17
Planning Commission Meeting: May 10, 1993
Project Location: 118 Lakeside Drive
Zoning District: RB, Bluffland /Shoreland
Flood Plain? Yes Shoreland /Bluffland? Yes
Applicant's Name: Michael and Sheryl Meyer
Type of Application: Variance
Project Description:
The request is to construct a 20 ft. by 24 ft. garage with a 90 foot shoreline
setback and on slopes of over 12% requiring variances to the Bluffland /Shore
land Ordinance. The proposed frontyard setback is 18.8 feet, 20 feet is
required.
The setback proposed for the garage is similar to other setbacks in the area
;that are legal non - conforming.
This application has been referred to the DNR and Boundary Area Commission for
review and comment as required.
The DNR has reviewed the proposal and commented on the request (letter
attached). The letter indicates the DNR's concerns and findings; mitigation
and documentation requirements. That will be reviewed by the DNR when they
receive the City decision regarding the variance.
1
The final decision regarding the variance must be certified by the
Commissioner of the Department of Natural Resources.
Recommendation:
Consideration of revised plans.
Conditions of Approval:
1. The garage addition shall be painted an earth tone color approved by the
City Planner to mirimize the structure's impact as viewed from the
river.
2. Gutters and drain $.pouts shall be installed on the rear (river side) of
the garage directing the rain water to the street.
3. The asphalt drivew y leading from the street to the rear of the house
shall be removed a d grassy lawn area restored.
4. The shed located or the top of the bluff shall be removed from the site.
5. The City's variance decision shall be certified by the Commissioner of
Natural Resources before the decision is final.
6. No tree cutting or timming shall be allowed without required permit from
the Community Development Director.
7. A landscape plan screening the garage from the river and a drainage plan
for the site shall be prepared by a professional and approved by the
Community Development Director before building permits are issued.
Bluffland /Shoreland Variance Requirements:
5. Variances
a. Variances sh 11 only be granted where there are particular
hardships which make the strict enforcement of this ordinance
impractical. Hardship means the proposed use of the property and
associated structures in question cannot be established under the
conditions allowed by this ordinance, the plight of the landowner
is due to circumstances unique to his property, not created by the
landowners after May 1, 1974; and the variance, if granted, will
not alter the essential character of the locality. Economic
consideratio s alone shall not constitute a hardship for the
reasonable u e of the property and associated structures under the
conditions allowed by this ordinance. In addition, no variance
shall be gra ted that would permit any use that is prohibited in
this ordinan e in which the subject property is located.
Conditions m y be imposed in the granting of a variance to insure
compliance a d to protect adjacent properties and the public
interests, especially in regard to the view from the river.

RE: Meyer Garage Construction Slope Variance Request
Dear Mr. Russell:
Metro Region Waters has reviewed the information submitted on
behalf of Michael Meyer to construct an attached two car garage on
a slope greater than 12% in the Riverway District. As in any
variance situation, the need for a variance should be minimized to
the greatest extent possible. The revised plan also shows that the
proposed garage does not meet the 100 foot setback from the river.
The applicant should provide justification and a thorough
discussion of the alternatives considered. The city's findings
should document this discussion. In addition, the applicant should
provide written documentation from a professional that the slopes
will be stable during and after construction. We are also
interested in seeing a drainage and erosion control plan for this
property. We suggest that a professional be consulted regarding
removal of the asplt and revegetation of the yard area between
the bluff and the Structure.
The application does not discuss what measures will be taken to
screen the addition from view from the river. This should also be
discussed at the hearing. Due to a prior commitment, there will
not be a DNR representative present at the hearing. Therefore, our
certification decision will rely entirely on the written record and
Findings of Fact.
If you have any questions, please contact me at 772 - 7910. We
regret that we will not be able to attend the June 2, 1992 meeting.

To: Steve Russell
From: Michael and Sheryl Meyer
Subject: Variance for garage addition at 118 Lakeside Drive
Date: 3 -24 -93
We would like to build a garage at street level in the location shown on
the survey map. The size would be 20X24 and the elevation drawings you requested
are included. A variance to build closer to the street is being sought.
We have three main reasons for wanting to build the garage at street level.
First is the safety issue, our current driveway is steep and it heads right for
the bluff and a 35 foot drop. During the winter the drive becomes icy and very
dangerous to use. Someone unfamiliar could find themselves sliding over the
bluff as there is nothing to stop them.
Preservation of the bluff is another major concern. Currently the entire
yard between the house and bluff line is asphalt. Every time it rains the
water comes off the house roof and also down the driveway and runs over the bluff
causing errosion of the bluff line.
Our house is the only one in the development that does not have a garage
at street level. We are not asking for anything different than what all the
other houses already have.
Our plans along with builc ing the garage include removing all of the current
asphalt drive and landscaping the yard. This would be replaced with grass
so the water runoff has a chance to soak into the ground instead of eroding the
bluff. We would be making a natural fence of shrubs along the bluff line to
keep people from falling over but also to help hold the soil in place along
the bluff line. Flowers and other landscaping would be done further back from
the bluff.
We will be out of town from 3/26/93 to 4/13/93.

Planning Commission Meeting: May 10, 1993
Project Location: 514 East Alder Street
Comprehensive Plan District: Residential
Zoning District: Duplex Residential /Bluffland /Shoreland
Applicant's Name: Wolf Marine, Inc.
Type of Application: Special Use Permit
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Special Use Permit to place two signs on an existing marina building.
DISCUSSION:
The proposal is to place two signs on the marina building. The signs would be
located on the front (south) elevation of the building and rear (north)
elevation of the building.
The front sign is 3 ft. by 13.5 ft. or 40.5 square feet. The building is
approximately 60 ft. wide. The lettering for the sign is 12 inches while the
logo is 3 ft. in height. The south elevation business identification sign can
be seen from the river. It would be difficult to read by the letter from any
distance and certainly not from the main traveled river channel.
The second sign is on the rear of the building. The proposed sign is of
similar design with the addition of 18 inch letters advertising "Slips
Available ". The rear building sign (north) can also be seen from the river by
boaters using the DNR launch ramp.
The Bluffland /Shoreland regulations do not allow advertising signs visible
from the river. The basic Wolf Marine sign is a business identification sign.
The "Slip Available" addition to the sign does advertise a product.
It is suggested that part of the rear sign be relocated to the front of the
building in 8 or 12 inch letters located lower than the business sign. This
would make the advertising very difficult, if not impossible, to read from the
river.
Business identification signs are necessary for the efficient movement of
people to their business destinations. The size and locations of the proposed
signs will have minimum visual impact from the river.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval with condition.
CONDITION OF APPROVAL:
1. "Slips Available" shall be removed from the rear sign, reduced in size
to 12 or 8 inches and located on the front of the building beneath the
main sign.

Mr Gary Funke
Stillwater Councilmen May 26, 1993
Dear Gary:
As you know from our previous conversations I am making my`
last attempt for permission for a five foot set back for
driveway and parking area.
{
`
In Feb. of 1993 Mr. Jack Kronqard of Kronqard Construction
called to see if I would be interested in putting up a
building which I agreed to. After several drawings &
layouts we settled on our present plan only to find out
that the zoning set back had been changed in 1990 from five
foot side set back to ten foot set back.
There are only two lots left in this block one of which I
own. The other Buildings were built before 1990 like the
bicycle shop, 1911 & 1825 Curve Crest Blvd. and have been
able to use the five foot set back to their advantage as
far as parking area.
I also spoke with Mr. Tim Kron the owner of the bicycle
shop and ask him if he would have any objection to my
having the same set back lines as he does. He not only felt
he would have not objection but would welcome a building
being constructed instead of an empty lot, which draws no
traffic like an office building would.
The lot was originally bought from Kern-Pauley on April
1980 with the intent of moving our Plumbing office and
retail store from the Oak Park heights location to a new
- �
���'��
building.
The property was under the Joint Power at that time and we
denied . .. for retail store because we were in `
were oenzeo a permit �or a recaz� score o�c�u�� ~� ��,� �o^
an industrial area and retail was not permitted. (Arrow
Lumber next to our location was both wholesale and retail ��.
at that time.) Because of the poor location we were forced
to close our office and store.
~
•
Page Two
On May 3rd we met with the Heritage Preservation
Committee/Design review with a request for five foot set
back which was denied. On May 10, 1993 we met with the
zoning commission with the same request, we were told to
make the building smaller. June 1st will be the third
meeting for approval and so far no other owners have
appeared with objection to our request.
Before laying out the building I met with the building
both agreed that access to the east side or back of
building is not required by present building codes but
would be more then an asset. `
'
Without the five foot set back we would not have driveway
r1*eway����
access to the back of the building which changes the t.ype)V'
of possible tenants. I am sending you this letter_to see'
if you could suggest any alternatives.
Also enclosed is a copy of page (1) plot plan, page (2)
site plan, page (3) pictures of lots adjoining property.' _
Thank You

Planning Commission Meeting: May 10, 1993
Project Location: 206 East Locust Street
Comprehensive Plan District: Two Family Residential
Zoning District: RB
Applicant's Name: Todd Remington
Type of Application: Variance
Project Description:
A variance to the height requirements (20 feet required, 24 feet requested)
and to the total square footage requirement for an accessory structure (1,000
square feet allowed, 1,350 square feet proposed) for the construction of a
carriage house.
Discussion:
The proposal is to construct a carriage house /garage on the property at 206
East Locust Street. The carriage house, as shown on the elevation plan, will
be of similar architectural character as the home. This accessory structure is
higher than the regulation for height. It is also 350 square feet larger than
• what is allowed. The applicants have stated their basement is not usable for a
workshop or storage space.
No trees are presently located on the area where the driveway and carriage
house will be.
This lot is large enough to accommodate a duplex as regulated by the Zoning
Ordinance.
Conditions of Approval:
1. No habitable living space is allowed on the second floor of the
carriage house.
2. The existing septic system shall be reviewed by a professional. A
report shall be submitted to the City before building permits are
issued.
Recommendation:
Approval as conditioned.
Findings:
This proposal will not impact adjacent properties and is consistent with the
uses requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. The height of the building
maintains the historic character of the area.

Request for Variance
Todd and Kathleen Remington
206 Locust Street East
Stillwater
It is our intent to request a variance to build a traditional carriage house to add to
the existing character of our lot and our neighborhood. This carriage house will
serve as a garage and storage space /workshop for us since we have an inadequate
basement. To achieve the traditional carriage house look it is necessary to build
slightly higher and larger than existing zoning allows.
We are asking for a variance on the heighth and square footage requirements.
Instead of 20 feet high our carriage house will be 24 feet. The square footage will
exceed the allowance of 1000 square feet by approximately 350 square feet to allow
for a dormer and a steeper roof pitch to create a carriage house look.
There are three reasons we feel justified in our request:
• We have a triple lot and it's impractical to split the lots. Considering all
the land we have the density of our lot is less than the neighborhood
average. Without the variance we will be deprived of the full use of our
property. Granting the variance will help remedy the situation.
• In our neighborhood, the majority of the buildings were built before codes
were in place. In order to be compatible with the neighborhood we'should
build a carriage house to fit into the neighborhood better, improve values,
and enhance our lot.
• Because we're very secluded, this building will have no negative impact
on others. A one story garage won't hide the back of our neighbors sheds
and garages because of the placement of our house on a hill.
• Our house is on bedrock so the basement is not fully useable. We need a
bigger garage for storage purposes and other normal basement functions
that are lacking in our home.
Thank you for your consideration.

construction on slopes greater than 12% for construction of a 20 x 24 foot garage at
118 Lakeside Drive in the Bluffland /Shoreland, RB Residential District.
Applicants Michael and Sheryl Meyer appeared on their own behalf. Mr. Meyer stated
the request is now for a 22 x 24 foot garage. The new plans move the building 1 foot
back from the front property line toward the river. He said the garage is now placed 1
foot back from the house overhang and is no closer to the river than the house. Mr.
Meyer also said he had contacted Abrahamson Nursery to do a landscaping plan, as
the commission had previously recommended.
Mr. Russell noted that if the Planning Commission approved the request, the Meyers
would meet with DNR representatives prior to the City Council meeting when the
request will be considered.
Mr. Elliott moved the request as conditioned (six); seconded by Kirk Roetman. All in
favor. Mr. Meyer said he would try to set up a meeting with Molly Shodeen of the DNR.
Qase No. $UP/93 -26. Continuation of consideration of a Special Use Permit for a
minor subdivision of a 75,625 square foot lot into two Tots of 38,50 square feet and
37,125 square feet. The property is located at 1030 W. St. Croix Ave. in the RA, Single
Family Residential District.
Applicant Bev Flory reaffirmed the property owners desire to proceed with the
subdivision.
Ann Pung - Terwedo noted that the property in question could not be served by city
sewer until the Amundson property south of the applicants' property is developed.
(Currently the sewer would have to be extended 520 feet to serve the Flory property.)
She said the Planning Commission has two options -- deny the request as premature
or allow the request with the property served by on -site septic systems.
Shawn Draper, 1221 Amundson Circle, expressed his concern about increased traffic,
loss of the tree line, and the accessibility of the area to emergency service and public
works vehicles. He questioned the length of time and sequence of (street, water)
improvements. He also suggested the proposal would require wetlands mitigation. He
asked that the request be denied.
Mr. Russell noted that if th a request were approved, one of the conditions could be that
improvements be installed before the lot is subdivided. A public hearing would be held
and if approved, the City Could could order improvements, perhaps by the end of this
year.
Richard Kuula, 1241 Amundson Circle, also spoke in opposition to the request due.
He also cited concern about the possible loss of trees, and the proximity a roadway
would have to his pool.
Mr. Elliott noted that while the property is large enough to support on -site septic, it
would be unwise to surface the street until it is sewered. He said the number of
unknowns make it difficult for the Planning Commission to make a decision. He
suggested that the Florys meet with the Amundsons to determine their plans for future
development and that a street-net plan be developed before a decision is made.
Mr. Roetman also expressed concern about the number of unknowns -- the access
issue, the street plan issue -- and also suggested the Florys try to contact the
Amundsons. Mr. Elliott pointed out that if the Florys are unsuccessful in determining
the Amundsons plans for the property, the City could force the issue by ordering a
street -net plan and assessing the cost back to the property owners.
Mr. Elliott made the mot on to continue the request until there is more information
relative to a street -net plan; seconded by Mr. Roetman. All in favor.
Case No. SUP /93 -26 Special Use Permit for the placement of a 40 square foot wall
sign and a 90 square foo: wall sign. The property is located at 514 E. Alder St. in the
RB, Two Family Residential District.

•
The staff report noted that Bluffland /Shoreland regulations do not allow advertising
• signs visible from the river. The wording "slips available" does advertise a product. It
was recommended a condition of approval be that the wording "slips available" be
removed from the requested sign at the rear elevation of the building, reduced in size
to 12 or 8 inches and located on the front of the building beneath the main business
identification sign.
Lynn Wolf, applicant, and his attorney Karl Ranum appeared before the Commission.
Mr. Ranum said the intent of the advertising _ is not for river users, but for traffic on
Highway 95. He pointed out that Wolf Marine's Highway 95 signage was lost when the
road was reconstructed last year. He showed photos taken from the road and from the
DNR boat launch and stated that visibility of the signs from the water would not be a
problem.
Mr. Elliott said the the signage will indeed be visible from the DNR ramp. Mr. Wolf
responded by saying the 18 inch letters on the sign, as proposed, would not be
readable from the ramp which, he said, is about 1/2 mile away from his building.
Glenna Bealka suggested that the Commission should try to stick to the rules for signs.
Dorothy Foster made the motion to approve the signage as requested, without
conditions; seconded by Darwin Wald. Vote was 5 to 2 in favor; Glenna Bealka and
Duane Elliott voted no.
Case No. V/93 -29. Variance to the sideyard setback requirement on a corner lot (30
• feet required, 18 feet requested) for a garage addition. The property is located at 2117
Dundee Place in the RA, Single Family Residential District.
Applicant Dan Dalluhn appeared on his own behalf. The request is to add one stall to
the existing single -car attached garage; the addition would be 30 feet from the street
curb line as a condition of approval.
Mr. Elliott pointed out that most corner lots are larger. However, Mr. Dalluhn's lot is not
large enough to allow for the requested garage addition without the variance.
Darwin Wald moved to approve the request as conditioned; seconded by Kirk
Roetman. All in favor.
Case No. SUP/93 -30. Special Use Permit for the construction of a 9,000 square foot
office /retail building. The property is located at 1900 Tower Drive in the BP -O,
Business Park Office District.
Ray Martin and Jack Krongard, applicant, appeared before the Commission.
There was considerable discussion about parking requirements. Thirty parking spaces
are required for a 9,000 square foot office building (one space per 300 square feet).
Retail use requires one space per 200 square feet or 45 spaces for a 9,000 square
foot building.
The applicant's current site plan shows 27 parking spaces. During the discussion, Mr.
Russell agreed that an additional three spaces could probably be accommodated at
the rear of the building, which would meet the requirements for office use.
Mr. Martin asked about the possibility of leasing space from the neighboring business,
Arrow Building and St. Croix Bike and Skate, if the decision was made to put some
retail use in the building.
vl
r. Russell said that would be possible if the businesses
have excess spaces and a ree to a long -term lease arrangement. -
Glenna Bealka asked whether the applicants should see if they can rent extra parking
before the Commission acts on the request. Mr. Russell said the Commission could
approve the office use and review the application if retail use becomes possible by
using off -site parking arrangements.
Glenna Bealka moved to approve the Special Use Permit for a 9,000 square foot office
building as conditioned (se ✓en); seconded by Dorothy Foster. All in favor.
Case No. SUP /DR/93 -31. Special Use Permit for construction of a 7,500 square foot
veterinary clinic. The property is located on the northeast corner of Washington
Avenue and Curve Crest Boulevard in the BP -I, Business Park/Industrial District.
Doctors Rice and Waters appeared before the Commission.
It was noted the Special Use Permit is needed because of an open exercise area at
the rear of the building. The area will be enclosed with a six -foot high fence; three feet
will be brick to match the building, with an addition three feet of wooden fencing. The •
exercise area will not be visible from the street.
Darwin Wald moved to approve the Special Use Permit as conditioned (one);
seconded by Duane Elliott, All in favor.
Qse No. V/93 -32. Variance to the height requirement (20 feet required, 24 feet
requested) and to the total square footage requirements for an accessory structure
(1,000 square feet allowed, 1,350 square feet proposed). The property is located at
206 Locust St. In the RB, Two Family Residential District.
Applicants Todd and Kathleen Remington appeared on their own behalf. They stated
their house is built on bedrock and the basement is not usable. The request is to build
a carriage house /garage in keeping with the design of their 1872 -built home.
One neighbor, Maury Stenerson, spoke in favor of the request.
Mr. Russell asked therE would be a water hook -up in the workshop area. He
suggested that checking tie condition of the septic system be added to the conditions
of approval, the other condition being that no habitable living space be allowed on the
second floor of the carriage house.
Kirk Roetman made the motion to approve the request as conditioned. seconded by
Darwin Wald. All in favor.

• a No. $UB/93 -33. Minor Subdivision for transfer of a 1,399 square foot parcel of
property from 1047 West Sycamore St. to 1401 Amundson Drive. The property is
located in the RA, Single Family Residential District.
Applicant Mark Thibodeau said the request is simply to extend his property line to an
existing row of pine trees. -
Duane Elliott moved to approve the request as conditioned (one); seconded by
Glenna Bealka. All in favor.
Case No. DR/93 -27. Design Review for the re_ novation of an existing school into an
office building. The property is located at 110 E. Pine St. in the PA, Public
Administrative Office District.
Jay Slater and Pete Smith of BWBR Architects gave a brief overview of the design =
plans for reuse the east wing of the Stillwater Junior High School as Cub Foods
corporate headquarters.
Mr. Smith noted one change from the information in the packet. The office building is
67,000 square feet, rather than 58,000 square feet, increasing required parking
spaces to 224, 58 spaces would be provided at the office site and 171 proposed for
the west wing site. He also addressed several issues that were raised during the
Heritage Preservation Commission hearing on the request.
• He said in an effort to address concern about the placement of the mechanical
equipment on the roof of the building, plans now call for the equipment to be located
on the "infill" portion of the building roof to eliminate any site lines. Also, he said the
service entrance trash would be located at the northeast side of the building. A site for
off - loading of larger trucks, which make deliveries perhaps once a week, would be
provided off Third Street, he said.
Regarding the condition that the service road on the north side of the building be
removed. He said the request is to leave the road as is, but unused except for
emergency vehicle access.
use No. DR/93 -28. Design Review for a parking lot for 150 -170 cars. The property is
located at 100 W. Pine St. in the PA, Public /Administrative District.
Rob Williams of Sanders, Wacker, briefly reviewed the plans for the site currently
occupied by the west wing of the junior high. The building would be removed. Parking,
with access off Third Street, would be located in the lower portion of the site. The
upper portion of the site, off Pine Street, would be landscaped to align visually with the
Historic Courthouse. Plans also call for the use of ornamental railings and construction
of a gazebo -type structure.
Sis Casanova, 223 W. Pine St., asked whether Cub employees would be required to
pay for a parking permit or whether the City was furnishing them with a lot. Mr. Russell
responded that Cub employees would be required to buy permits, just as other
employees are required to do in the downtown area.
Maury Stenerson, 205 E. Walnut St., questioned whether the proposals represent the
highest and best use of prise sites on the south hill.
Richard Kilty, 118 W. Oak t., showed slides of some "eyesores" (scrub trees and junk
in the ravines) in the neigh orhood that would not be improved by the Cub project and
presented some alternate Ian sketches. He suggested extending the'fill down into the
ravine on the northern po ion of the east wing site and building a parking lot on the
lower level of that site. H , also called for a 100 -foot strip of housing along Fourth
Street on the west wing site, with a shortened up version of the parking lot on Pine
Street and decking on the lower level of the west wing site.
Mark Balay, 416 S. Fifth St., questioned whether enough Tax Increment Financing
funding would be generated to complete the west site parking project and questioned
the advisability of even considering the project if the city doesn't have the available
funding.
Marlene Workman DeBoef said she like the east wing plans but questioned the use of
the west wing site for a parking lot. She said a number of potential users of the west
wing building had attended a meeting the previous week, and she urged the Planning
Commission to in turn urge the City Council to look at other options and allow at least
a portion of the west wing building to remain.
Mr. Kilty asked Tom Thue - on, Cub Foods, about the plans for the northern half of the
east wing site. Mr. Thues n said plans are to leave the area in its current ravine state.
Mr. Kilty said there woul be serious questions raised if Cub develops the northern
half of that lot that is got for $1. Mr. Thueson responded that Cub would be glad to
have that concern addres ed as a condition of approval.
Kathleen Remington expr ssed concern about traffic and asked whether there weren't
alternatives to removing t e west wing building for parking and, thereby, changing the
character of the neighbor ood.
Mr. Russell responded th t the city is looking at other parking sites in the south part of
downtown, specifically th UBC site and the possibility of a structure at the Second
and Olive street parking lot. Mr. Stenerson asked the west wing site is so critical if
there are other parking sites available downtown. Mr. Russell responded that parking
is needed in proximity to the Cub office building.
Jim Kellison, legislative chairman of the Stillwater Area Chamber of Commerce,
"suggested and requested" that the Planning Commission approve the project(s).
Carol De Wolf, 518 S. Fourth St., spoke in support of the proposals.
During the Planning Commission discussion, Mr. Fontaine noted that most of the
discussion centered around the parking lot and taking down the west wing building.
During previous meetings, he said, including a previous Planning Commission
•
•
hearing, it became apparent that reuse of the east wing building was contingent upon
• the provision of parking at the west wing site.
Mr. Elliott spoke favorably of Mr. Kilty's suggestion to deck the lower level parking area
at the west site. Mr. Russell said the design could accommodate a second _level, and
said another of Mr. Kilty's suggestions, cleaning up ravines, could be incorporated as
a condition of approval.
Kirk - Roetman moved to approve both design review requests with the added
conditions that the ravines be cleaned up and that the parking lot design show the
potential for added a deck; seconded by Glenna Bealka. (There are four other
conditions of approval for the parking lot, 13 other conditions for the office building.) All
in favor. Mr. Fontaine suggested that Mr. Kilty's plan be submitted to the Council for
their information.
Case No. SUP /DR/93 -25. Special Use Permit and Design Review fora 90 -room hotel,
conference center, along with a parking review. The property is located 405 E. .
Myrtle St. and 127 S. Water St. in the CBD, Central Business District /Flood Plain
District.
Mr. Smith of BWBR Architects briefly reviewed the design plans for the project and
addressed the conditions of approval. One condition deals with the awning in the front
of the hotel (the north end of the building on Myrtle Street) as it relates to the Myrtle
Street site line. Mr. Smith said the awning would be extended no further than the
existing property line, but does extend slightly_ over the curb for patron drop -off.
Another conditions suggests that the applicants consider the reducing the riverboat
appearance of the front of the hotel in the final design. Mr. Smith said the design
represents more than a riverboat theme -- the penthouse and stacks are functional
elements.
Mr. Russell addressed parking concerns and said he felt the existing spaces (60) in
the Hooley parking lot as well as available public parking in Lowell Park lot should be
adequate during the week, but there could be a potential "conflict" for use on
weekends.
James Laskin, 308 E. Chestnut St., said he liked the proposal, and was a "tad
nervous" about parking. He also questioned whether the riverboat smokestacks would
be kept in the final design.
Mr. Kilty questioned where the service entrances would be and suggested that as a
condition of approval the city should vacate Myrtle Street, as it would no longer be a
public street.
Commission members agreed with the concern about the drop- off /awning extending
into Myrtle Street and the possibility of traffic congestion and /or restriction of traffic to
the river, especially on weekends.
Mr. Kimble suggested that providing for two lanes of traffic, as well as the protected
• drop -off area be made a condition of approval.
Mr. Roetman moved to a prove the Special Use Permit with the added condition,
bringing the conditions of approval to six; seconded by Darwin Wald. All in favor.
SIGN ORDINANCE.
Ann Pung - Terwedo a "compromise" has been met which would allow the hanging of
"open" signs in the downtown area. The signs are to be made of fabric, no larger than

RE: ADMINISTRATION OF FEDERAL HOME PROGRAM BY WASHINGTON COUNTY HRA
Accompanying this memo is a cooperative agreement between the City and Washington
County HRA (HRA). The agreement would allow HRA to administer the program which
provides assistance for tenant based rental, homeownership rehap, new
construction rental rehab and first time homebuyers. The_City Attorney and I
met with Yvette Quarfot, HRA Project Manager, to discuss the program and we do
not see any adverse problems with the program.
Ms. Quarfot will be at the meeting Tuesday night to answer any questions you may
have on the program and cooperative agrement.
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Ms. Mary Lou Johnson
City of Stillwater
216 North Fourth Street
Stillwater, Minnesota 55082
Dear Ms. Johnson:
The Washington County Housing and Redevelopment Authority is currently administering the Federal
HOME on behalf of Washington County. The HOME program is authorized by Title II of the Cranston -
Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act of 1990. Under the HOME program, the HRA is able to
provide tenant based rental assistance, homeownership rehab, new construction, rental rehab and first
time homebuyer assistance to res dents of your community who are at or below 80% of median income
(1992 - 80% of median was $40,800).
Recently, HUD had changed their regulations concerning the designation of a consortia (Washington
County is part of a four county consortium with Anoka, Dakota and Ramsey counties). The regulatory
change stated, if any urban count y in a consortia is not considered an entitlement county, each local unit
of government must sign a legally binding cooperation agreement with the consortium (a county is
considered an entitlement if the I opulation is over 200,000 persons). For HUD purposes, Washington
County is not considered to be an entitlement county. Because Washington County is not an entitlement,
HUD has requested that each city and township within the county sign a cooperation agreement which
grants the Washington County H.ZA to operate the HOME program within their legal jurisdictions.
Enclosed is a copy of the cooperation agreement. I would like to have this put on your next council
meeting agenda. I do not need a resolution for this item.
If you have any questions regard ng the program, please do not hesitate to contact me at 458 -0936.
Sincerely,
Washington County HRA Board of District - Jay Kimble

The Cranston- Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act of 1990 made chcnges in
ex.s it c.: housing orcgrams and created new affordable housing programs, HOME & HOPE
!.:I chd III. The Act requires states cnd certain local units of government (entitlements)
to sucrnit c Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS). The CHAS -is an
cs`essrnent of housing needs and a plan to address the needs through resources such
cs federal, state and local funds. The CHAS also is a tool to monitor how funds through
HUD are being spent.
'.vcs;ningtcn County, because its population is not over 200,000 people, is not an
entitlement county cnd is not required to prepare a CHAS. However, Washington County
has joined with Anoka, Dakota and Ramsey counties, for purposes of receiving
ccorcprieted HOME funds, in a consortium. The consortia will Icok at development, of _
c- crccble housing in a regional manner, thus assuring funds to be spent more effectively
for housing needs.

PROCESS FOR CHAS DEVELOPMENT
The Washington County HRA used the information collected to draft the Wcshington
County CHAS. , it was submitted to the HRA Board of Commissioners for their review. On . .
August 16, 1991, the draft will be incorporated_ into a consortium -CHAS. At the scale
time, the Washington County CHAS was published for public comment Period of 60 days.
The CHAS was placed a' local libraries and the Washington County Government Center.
The Wcshington County HRA began the process by appointing c group to develop the
CHAS for Washington County . The Washington County HRA was responsible for the CHAS
since the agency works with federal housing funds.
The Washington County HRA is directly overseen by the Washington County Housing and
Redevelopment Authorry Board of Commissioners. The Commissioners are appointed by
the Washington County Board of Commissioners.
The information for the CHAS was gathered through interviews and studies by HUD,
Metropolitan Council, Wilder Foundation, etc. Please refer to the attached interviews
and list of reports. -
The final public review of the process is a public hearing held by the HRA Board of
Commissioners, scheduled for September 18, 1991.
On October 31, 1991, tt final consortia CHAS will be submitted to the U.S. Department
of Housing and Urban Cevelopment, Minneapolis -St. Paul Area Office.

EXECUT7VE SUMMARY
The Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) is an assessment of housing
needs and a plan to address the needs through resources such cs federal, state and
local :ands. The CHAS is required by the U.S. Department of Housing cn Urbcn
Deveic •ment to receive federal funds. However, information on funds from state and
iccal sources cre also required. -
information provided in the CHAS is based on HUO's instructions for preparing a CHAS.
The CHAS document is a comprehensive planning strategy which looks at overall housing
needs establishes strategic priorities and develops a plan to meet the identified housing
cools. The CHAS will be a useful tool for Washington County when it comes to investment
decisions.

A NOTE ABOUT - AVAILABLE. DATA
Washington County_had a difficult time gathering current information, ie ;; -1990 cen_sus
data, for analyzing housing needs. The data used for the analysis -has been through the
Metro - Council, HUD, or Wilde r Foundation, 1980-census -data, _etc.- These
documents used to supply the CHAS with readily available data in the time allowed for
its preparation.. Please make a note, some of the information is obsolete and at many
tunes throughout the report estimates were used. In the future, data sources will be more
current and there will be a greater use of direct data.

The information stated in the Needs Assessment narrative was gathered through
numerous interviews with agencies in Washington County. The agencies are all tied to
housing or services needs in a variety of wcys. Other data was obtained through the
Metropolitan Council, HUD, census data, or other agencies in the Metro area.
Current Estimates
The Metropolitan Council study 'Lookina Ahead at Housina ... The Effects of Chancing
Democraohics on the Twin Cites Area Housing . Market", stated, As it was .already
apparent in 1987, by 1990 the primary growth in the region since 1980 will have occurred
in the developing suburbs. Of the overall regional growth of clmost 11% since 1980, the
developing suburbs_ are projected to account for_o,ver 85,% and the outlying area. for the
rest. The developing suburbs will have replaced the central cities as the most populated
area of the region, growing from 30 to 35% of the population while the central cities of
Minneapolis /St. Paul decreased from 32 to 27.5 %." Washington County has been effected
drastically by the growth found in the study. Washington County in 1980 had a
population of 113,571 persons according to the 1980 census data. In 1990, census data
sated the population soared to 145,896 persons. This is an increase of 28% since 1980.
Cost Burden
The 1990 census data on income levels distribution and housing assistance needs of the
Washington County population have not been published so it is very difficult to calculate
the number of persons in Washington County who are cost burdened. However, with the
increased population as seen in the past decade, it is reasonable to infer there are
additional households who are burdened by cost.
The Metro Council documented that one -third of all renters in the Twin Cities Metro area
paid more than 30% of their income for rent in 1985 and over 13% pcid more than 5C%
of their income for rent. Metro Council also stated that the median income of renters is
about half that of owners in the Twin Cities Metro area. In addition, low income renters
paid a higher portion of the income for housing. In the seven county Metro area, only
35% of households earning $10,000 or less receive any housing assistance.
Cost burden data for Washington County can be found in the study, Mismatches
Between Supply and Demand. Rental Housina in the Twin Cities Metro Area., Cost
burdens are seen by all renters, but especially by lower to low income persons in
Washington County as seen on the table.

This data indicates a lack o affordable rental units in Washington County and that lower
to low income persons are experiencing a difficult time in paying rent.
It is very hard to estimate The number of persons being burdened by the cost of housing
who are receiving rental assistance since the Section 8 program for Washington County
is run through Metro HRA. It is fair to conclude that there are many persons receiving
rental assistance who are burdened by the cost of rents even if they pay only 30% of their
income, since rent is only cne of the basic necessities.
Since the Washington County Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) runs its
Section 8 program through the Metro HRA, it is very difficult to estimate the number of
persons in the county in need of rental assistance. However, it is known that the waiting
list through the Metro HRA bar exceeds two years for those who have preference status.
For persons who do not have a preference, the wait may be as long as ten years. As of
June 1991, the Washington County HRA administered approximately 430 certificates or
vouchers. It would appear that Washington County has a large number of persons who
are in need of rental assistance.
The study, Chances in the Subsidized Housina Market in the Twin Cities Metro Area, 1980-
1990 stated that Washington County had 1,612 subsidized units out of an estimated
50,093 total units in 1988. Only 3.2% of all units have a subsidy in Washington County
(source of data is derived from Metropolitan Council, HUD, PHA and HRA). Such a low
percentage represents a , iefinite lack of rental subsidies and affordable housing in
Washington County.
Shc7}e Pcrent Households
Single parent households, especially female head of households, tend to be affected by
houng costs more than two parent households in Washington County.

The data show that over one in four of the single parent households who rent in
Washington County are below the poverty level and that there is a lack of affordable
rental housing for lower to low income households in Washington County.
The number of large families in search of three to five - bedroom units is on _the increase
in Washington County. The lack of units may not be the issue, but affordability is an issue.
Families of more than six persons who are on AFDC can't afford market rate units. There
are very few units larger than three bedrooms in Washington County that are affordable.
Large families are often pushed to the inner cities where there are a larger number of
more affordable three to five bedroom units.
The elderly population in Washington County has two major issues. First, there is a Icck
of affordable rental units for elderly households. The affordable housing units that are
available have waiting lists cnywhere from one to four years. Second, The elderly
population that would prefer to stay in their homes are having a difficult time because
there are repairs and maintenance that must be done. On a fixed income many are
finding it very hard to keep up with the repcirs and maintenance. Once again, as the
population flourishes more affordable housing is needed.
The housing needs for persons with disabilities are numerous. Washington County is
lacking in housing programs set up for persons with disabilities. The HRA conducts an
accessible housing program through MHFA, however the waiting list is quite long. This
program has grant funds available but the persons must be of very low income. The
funds are used to rehab homes so they are accessible. The only other pilot project that
was done was also through the HRA. The HRA allocated first time home buyer funds and
down payment assistance to help a paraplegic couple and their child build an
accessible home.
Housing needs for disabled persons are threefold. First, there is c lack of affordable rental
units that are accessible. Second, there are no programs set up to help families
purchase a home that are accessible. For example, the one pilot project tried by the
HRA. The project shoulc' be set up for families where the head of household or spouse
is in need of accessible housing. Finally, there are not programs set up to help low
income families rehab their home so it is accessible for a family member. It should b e
similar to the MHFA Accessible Housing Program.
Minority Populations
The minority population is growing in the Metro area. Washington County has
experienced growth of 24% in the minority population from 1980 to 1990. Washington
County will see an increasing number of minorities as the population continues to
increase, thus creating a greater demand for affordable low income housing. According
to the Metropolitan Council, a high proportion of the minority or ethnic population are
economically disadvantaged and experience much higher poverty rates then the white
population. -
F1ve Yecr Siratecv
It is very difficult to estimate five years from now what some of the housing need issues -
will be If the popula ion _ continues to grow:' at a rate _Washington "County ha `4
experienced from 1980 to 1990, it would be fair to conclude there will be an increased
demand for affordable lousing. -
The Metro Council has projected an increase of 6,700 jobs in Washington County from
1990 to the year 2000. This is an increase of 670 jobs a year or 3,550 jobs in the next five
years. The statistics present an increase of employment, which would indicate a
foreseeable expanding population for Washington County. Once again, as the
population flourishes morn demands need to be met such as affordable housing.
Supportive Hous7 Neeos of the Homeless
The fundamental housing issue that must be addressed when dealing with homelessness
is to offer service components along with housing components. One without the other
will not help homeless persons become self - sufficient.
Washington County Social Services estimates they give out anywhere from 24 to 30 hotel
vouchers a month for homeless persons. The number may be low since it does not count
the number of homeless persons referred to shelters in St. Paul. Social Services also said
that due to the rural atmosphere of parts of Washington County and the close knit
communities, many of the persons who cre homeless are helped by churches and local
community organizations without being reported to Social Services.
Washington County has one transitional housing program for its homeless population.
Social Services and the Washington County HRA work together to provide transitional
housing. The program hcs set aside two housing units in Washington County which are
used strictly for homeless families referred by the County. The families are allowed to stay
10
•
•
•
for one month in the units. This program may be expanded to four units this fall. At this
point, Washington County does not have any shelters for its homeless population.
Homeless - Racld aid Ethnic Groups
The homeless population in Washington County is predominantly white. However, the
number of minority homeless persons are on the rise. The increases will become more
apparent as the population increases in Washington County.
Homeless - Mentally 111
The number of Washington County mentally ill persons who are in need of housing are
on the increase when mentally ill persons are discharged from Rule 36 programs or the
Anoka Regional Treatment Center. The Washington County -HRA ,and Human Services,
Inc. (HSI) are working together to implement the MHFA Rental Demonstration Program for
Persons with Mental Illness. The demonstration helps homeless Persons who are mentally
ill find rental units and then subsidizes the units with a $150.00 voucher. Housing for the -
homeless is also provided through the HUD Single Family Property Disposition Homeless -
Initiative Program. The HRA leases HUD foreclosed properties for $1.00 a year. HSI clients
who are homeless and are in need of services to achieve self-sufficiency lease the units.
Both programs serve only a small portion of the mentally ill persons who are in need of
housing.
Hcrnefess - Runawav /Abandoned Youth
Washington County has one facility available for the runaway or abandoned youth
population called Harbor Shelter and Counseling Center, Inc. The shelter is set up to help
12 to 18 year olds in the case of emergencies and when counseling is needed. Harbor
Shelter can house up to 16 kids at one time and is usually at its maximum. Most of the
runaway or abandoned youth are referred to The Bridge in Minneapolis or St. Joseph's
Children's Home. Washington County does have emergency foster care homes which
have in placement on the average of 140 children a month. Ten percent of the 140
children are runaways.
Homeless - Alcohol /Drug Abuse
Washington County Social Services usually refers the homeless alcohol and drug abuse
victims to HSi of Washington County. The services are concentrated in four areas:
information, assessment and referral, detox, insight groups, and community services.
There are also many AA, NA, AL ANON, and
adult /children groups set up through the many communities in Washington County.
Homeless - Victk of Domestic Violence
Family Violence Network is a non - profit organization which works with many of the
persons who are homeless due to domestic violence. Family Violence Network currently
has 10 safe homes and two Section 8 certificates for homeless persons. Most of the
domestic abuse victims are not in imminent danger of homelessness because the district
11
courts are known to work quickly to get the abuser out of the home so the victim(s) may
go back. However, the number of domestic violence cases cre on the increase due to
unstable economic factors; so the numbers of homeless are expected to increase in the
future.
At PoCikrticn -
According to 'Critical PE rsoective on Housina" (Hamby and Hopper, 1989), homelessness
stems from changes in the housing market, the labor market, the structure of economics
of both urban and rural areas, and family and public policies designed for the care of
dependent populations. The changes are evident with decreases in affordable housing,
high unemployment rates, the number of people_ living in poverty, increasing cases of -
domestic abuse, and contrived cuts at the federal and state revel in supportive service
programs. As a result of all these factors, people are at- risk -of homelessness. Life crises
such as evictions, foreclosures, alcohol and drug abuse, loss pf .emp€oyment,:-are forces
that lead - a person to hcmelessness:
Presently data is not ava fable to estimate the number of persons in ashington County,
who are at risk of homelessness. However, when focusing on econoric indicators in the
state it would be easy to infer that Washington County is like any other areas and has a
large number of people who are at- risk -of homelessness.
Supportive Housing Nee4's for Others with Soecld Needs
Elderly and Frail Elderly
Washington County has approximately 13,900 senior citizens over 65 years old according
to the State Demographer's office. Less than 7% (estimated 97 seniors) belong to a
minority group. The Metrc Council provided the following information regarding general
characteristics of seniors Washington County and the need for services. Its estimates

The Washington County HRA has, since 1988, built 146 senior apartment units. All units are
below the market rate and each complex has three to four project -based subsidies
which are taken out of the HRA's mill levy from the Washington County Board of
Commissioners. Washington County also has seven federally subsidized complexes which
are also 100% leased and have very long waiting lists. With all senior units being 100%
occupied, it still does not begin to meet the demands for this type of housing.
Washington County currently has Washington County Public Health which offers services
on a sliding fee basis to low to moderate income frail elderly. The services range
anywhere from homemaker services to an on -site 24 -hour monitoring health aide. With
the new pre - admission screening and alternative care grant programs through the
Department of Human Services, there will be a need for additional housing with attached
services in the future.
One demonstration will be conducted by HSI by utilizing a grant through the Department
of Human Services. HSI will hire a person that will administer-the on -site coordination -of --
services to assist older persons. Such activities= will:beeva[uations_,cf needs, providing .
education services, providing nutritional services and- working,with mental health issues.
The demonstration will be tried in two Section 202_projec is and: =the five,elderiy• projects
the Washington County HRA owns.
Persons with Dlsablitles
In January 1990, the State Planning Agency in coordination with the Governor's Planning
Council on Developmental Disabilities presented a report entitled, "The Heart of c
Community is Inclusion." The report focuses on the need for inclusion in the community
persons with developmental disabilities and the lack of knowledge and information that
support inclusion.
The report also looked ct critical issLes such as the desire to have c home by persons with
developmental disabilities. Many of the persons with developmental disabilities currently
live in institutional settings, not real home settings.
Washington County does not have housing services set up for persons who are disabled.
Washingtc - i County has a few pilot programs as mentioned previously, but this does not
reduce the demand. Currently, most persons with disabilities are forced to move to other
counties which offer the services they need such as transportation and a larger
accessible housing stock to choose from. There is a need for integration of disabled
persons into the communities, and only expansion of housing services for disabled persons
will fulfill this need.
Persons with AIDS
The Minnesota Department of Health has recorded as of May 1, 1991, that there were 11
cases of AIDS in Washington County. This number only includes persons who have
doctors in Washington County. The number, more than likely, is much greater.
13
Persons with AIDS, because ctf the nature of the disease. need special housing assistance.
A housing solution, for exam le, would be scattered site homes that bring in the services
such as meals, counseling, and case management. There are pilot projects like this in
Minneapolis. Health concerns cause many persons with AIDS to be unemployed, thus at
poverty level. -So there is a need for rental assistance or other types of funding to assist
with housing costs.
Currently, the population of persons with AIDS is quite low; however, as the population
increases, Washington County will need to re- evaluate their services to assist this special
group.

HRA PURCHASE OF BRICK BOND APARTMENTS
Accompanying this memo is a letter from Dennis Balyeat_of Washington County HRA
stating HRA is planning to purchase the Brick Pond Apartment complex. It is my
understanding that the City has 30 days from the date of receipt of notice (per _
the attached letter - to_ object - to the purchase am ° not_sure _ _whether the - =City:=
would want to object -to -the project. However, the Council1should -be aware that
a payment in lieu of_ :taxes equal to 5 percent of_., the "shelter. =rentals" .is charged
to projects of this nature.- According to information I county;_
the taxes. for_ Brick_ Pond were $40,683 in 1993 of which the-City: $9,011 or or about 22.15 percent of the total tax.
According to HRA staff, the estimated cash in lieu payment would be $10,600 of
which the City would receive about $2,348 (22.15% of in lieu payment).
This situation is very similar to the Ann Bodlovick apartments_which was built .
and is operated by HRA and which includes a cash in lieu payment. It is my
understanding that this is the first year (1993) that the cash in lieu payment
is to be received from HRA for the Ann Bodlovick apartments. The payment is to
be made with our regular tax settlement but at this time the. amount is- unknown.
I have talked to Diane about the impact the cash in lieu payment would have on
City tax revenues. According to Diane the tax "base" would be affected
(minimally) but our tax "revenue" would not.
If the Council requires additional information, I would recommend that the
Council request HRA staff attendance at our June 1, 1993 meeting to further
explain the Brick Pond project. This would still give the City an opportunity
to object to the project (within the 30 day time frame) if it chose to do so.

Re: Status of Levee Federal Appropriation
This month of May is a very critical time fort funding of the Stillwater- levee project in
Washington, The House and Senate Appro riations Subcommittee on Energy and
Water Development are r viewing hundreds f requests that have been made to their
committees for funds. Ma k up of the House ubcommittee blil is scheduled shortly
after Memorial Day. The enate bill will follovv by a couple of weeks.
It is vital, at this time, to keep the project on the "top of the pile" of members and staff.
Pictures of the high water levels this Spring, nd a letter from Stave Russell regarding
the likelihood of additions damage to the ret fining wall, and the funding of . the project
in the State bonding bill hive all provided re ns to revisit both the committee staff,
the members, and their inclividual staff. The tate and Federal funding of the levee
project has been my only priority this past m h.
Further, i have been working with other key mbers in the House from the standpoint
that the extension and repair of the levee i just a local project. The potential
hazard of the trunk sewer fine, the historical perspective of the City, and the
recreational opportunities he City and the St Croix River provide the interstate area,
all give me a justification t bring in other Members who are outside the Sixth District,
Both Congressmen Ober ar and Vento have been working with me since last year on
the authorization. Their h 1p gives us bipartisan for the project, as well.
This week, Senators Durenberger and WelistOne sent a very strong joint letter to
Senate Committee Chairman Bennett Johnson (see attached.) In addition, 1 was able
to meet personally with the Chairman a week or so ago, and talk in some detail about
the condition of the levee, and the need for tkie appropriation. He was very concerned,
and ask a lot of questions, however, as expetedd, he gave no promises regarding the
Senate appropriations bill,
Russell and I are ushing the environmental aspect of the
fore the Subcom ittee marks up of the bill. Steve is

support will not win the battle alone, it gives another perspective to the issue that
broadens the appeal to the committee.
All of the procedural objectives have been aco mplished at this time. Most
importantly, the project was included in the w er resources authorization act last year.
Secondly, the matching funds provided in they State's bonding bill has indicated that
the State of Minnesota has given the project thieir highest priority. 1 am optimistic
because we have done everything procedure and politically to assure funding, but
not "cocky" because strange and uncontrollable things happen in the mark up
sessions of appropriations bills.

MEMORANDUM
TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ANN PUNG - TERWEDO, CITY PLANNER
DATE: MAY 26, 1993
SUBJECT: HISTORIC PRISON SITE REUSE STUDY
BACKGROUND:
In May, the City Council directed Staff to look into
possible sources of funds to pay for a portion, 50 %, of
the costs for a reuse study of the Territorial Prison
site. The Minnesota Historical Society will pay one half
of the study costs, or $4,000, and take the lead role in
preparing the report. They feel this site, which is on the
National Register of Historic Places, is important to the
State of Minnesota.
DISCUSSION:
The City's portion of the study can be contributed in
Staff time or City funds. The Margaret Rivers Foundation
has contributed $1,000 towards the study and the Planning
Department can contribute $1,000 in Staff time. The
remaining could be paid using TIF funds or the planning
professional services budget (Comprehensive Plan).
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of $2,000 TIF for City share of reuse study.

Stillwater, MN 55082
Dear Ann:
I wanted to take this opportunity to express again our office's interest in participating in
efforts to find a suitable long -term use for the Territorial Prison. The prison was identified
as a priority property through t: ie SHPO annual planning process in 1990, and we are pleased
to see the growing interest from so many different fronts in preserving a property of such
significance to the community and the state.
As I indicated at the March 10 meeting of the ad hoc Territorial Prison task force, our office
sets aside a small amount of federal funds each year to conduct reuse studies for threatened
or under -used National Register properties. It has been our experience that such studies,
completed in partnership with the local unit of government, public agency, or other
nonprofit, have identified euse options for properties while strengthening the local
commitment to bringing about successful reuses. The initial investment in terms of time and
resources is modest in compari:ion to the long -term value of a property's reuse in the
community. Our 1993 -4 budget would allow matching funds up to $4,000 for the Territorial
Prison.
While CLG funds have been used in the past to conduct reuse studies, these funds are
separate from the CLG grant funds and are administered entirely outside the CLG grant
program. Generally the studies are completed under a cooperative agreement that is similar
to a CLG grant agreement in terms of the fiscal management of the project. Conducting a
reuse study would be a very reLponsible first step in exploring options for the prison site.
I would be happy to discuss this possibility with you. Please do not hesitate to contact me if
you have any questions.
Sincerely,
•

MEMORANDUM
TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ANN PUNG - TERWEDO, CITY PLANNER
DATE: APRIL 13, 1993
SUBJECT: HISTORIC TERRITORIAL PRISON SITE REUSE STUDY
Background:
In January and again in March, an ad hoc group of individuals met to discuss
the Historic Territorial Prison Site, its present condition and possible
future uses. The attached memo to the Mayor describes who was involved and
what was discussed at the meetings. The group concluded that, due to the
development pressure along North Main Street and the concerns about the
preservation of the Territorial Prison Site, a reuse study should be conducted
in order to evaluate the historic resources of the site, aid in preservation
of those resources, identify potential uses and costs for reuse. A reuse
•
study can be used as a marketing tool for sale of the sites and a tool for
preserving site resources. The Minnesota Historic Society Preservation Office
has conducted reuse studies on a cost -share basis with local governments.
Britta Bloomberg, Director of the Preservation Office, estimates _the study
would cost approximately $8,000. They would fund 50% ($4,000) of that study
with a local match of $4,000. The Planning Department has not budgeted for the
reuse study.
Roberta Opheim, representing the group, reviewed the historic resources of the
prison site with the City Heritage Preservation Commission at their meeting of
May 3rd. She also discussed the concerns about the site and its future. The
Heritage Preservation Commission strongly supports the reuse study. They feel
the site should be preserved and could be threatened with the increased
development along North Main Street. (The prison is on the National Register
of Historic Places.)
What is a Reuse Study?
A reuse study identifies the historic attributes of a building or site. It
gives an overview on which historic resources should be preserved. These
resources could be architectural elements, structural systems or even
archeological sites. The study then identifies appropriate uses for the
building and /or site. The reuse study concludes by estimating costs for the
rehabilitation of the historic structures.
This reuse process and report is a pro- active way of identifying appropriate
uses for an historic property. It can also be used as a marketing tool by the
•
owner for potential development. The goal of the study is to preserve our
history and find an economically viable use for site and structures.
CITY HALL: 216 NORTH FOURTH STILLWA MINNESOTA 55082 PHONE:-611- 439-6121

Recommendation:
The Heritage Preservation Commission supports the reuse study. They
recommend that the City of Stillwater enter into an agreement with the
Minnesota Historic SociEty for the reuse study. The approximate cost to the
City of Stillwater would be $4,000. (Some of this amount would be accounted
for by Staff time.)

RE: MCKUSICK LAKE WALKING PATH
M E M O R A N D U M
During 1992, the City Council directed staff to explore the feasibility of
establishing a nature trail along McKusick Lake. The attached map shows the
location of the trail. The City recently obtained easements from the developer
of Green Twig Way in furtherance of the trail and has also, over the years,
acquired easements or property that would make the trail feasible and somewhat
inexpensive to complete. I believe the idea is to acquire all of the
property /easements necessary to complete the trail and, except for some floating
docks that may be necessary (and which may be eligible for state funding), the
trail would be left in a natural state (i.e., no paved surfaces and no facilities
or other amenities - just a walking trail).
In order to clearly establish the boundaries of the trail and to know what
additional properties or easements are necessary, it is necessary to have the
proposed trail area surveyed. The cost of the survey is estimated to be $1,500 -
$2,000.
Council approval to obtain the survey is requested.

RE: Stillwater, Minnesota
City Engineer
South Main Lift Station
SEH File No. 92280
This letter is a final report on the pump and valve replacement for the South Main Lift
Station.
This project has now been completed and the new pumps and valves are functioning
properly. The threat of an overspill from this lift station into the St. Croix River has been
• greatly reduced.
The project was ordered by the Council in March of 1992. An estimate was provided for
emergency replacement of pumps and valves.
In order to take the lift station out of service long enough to remove the pumps and
valving system, a bypass connection to the forcemain on the discharge side of the lift
station had to be constructed. Since the forcemain is a 20 inch diameter cast iron pipe, a
manhole was required to be constructed around the forcemain with a "T" tapped in, etc.
The original estimated cost for this bypass work was $50,000.
The first authorization by the Council was to prepare specifications and receive bids for
three new pumps for the lift station since these would take the longest to be delivered.
Bids were received on June 1, 1992. The contract was awarded in the amount of $32,865
for the three pumps. The Engineer's Estimate was approximately $50,000 for these three
pumps.
It was decided to construct the bypass pumping facilities utilizing Water Department
personnel and Public Works personnel. Certain items had to be contracted, such as,
equipment rental for digging, etc.
Considering City personnel time, materials and amount paid to Contractors, the final
amount for the bypass construction was $17,612.76. This amounted to approximately
$32,000 in cost savings for the City.

The pumps were delivered to the City in the late Fall of 1992. The next process was for the
City to prepare plans and specifications and advertise for bids for the placement of the
new pumps and valves in the lift station. The Engineer's Estimate for this work was
approximately $65,000 and the low bid was $28,360. Since the high bid was
approximately $55,000, the City potentially realized a savings of $25,000. The Contractor
which was the successful b dder, stated that if the City had not provided the bypass
pumping, he would not have bid on the project. The total cost for the bypass pumping is
$3,770.91. The City realized some cost savings on the final bypass pumping by manning
the pumps and providing the fuel instead of asking the subcontractor, Northern
Dewatering, Inc., to provide these services. If the City had to include the bypass pumping
in the bids, the second low bidder was the successful bidder, the total: cost would have
been $55,550 compared to the actual cost to the .City of $33,840 for contracted services.
As the Council may recall, the motors which were received from Northwestern
Equipment were not wired for the dual voltage rating. Therefore, the Contractor
installing the pumps was delayed for two days, or over one weekend, while these motors
were being rewound and the City furnished labor and fuel for the bypass pumping for
those two days.
The Contract amount for Northwestern Equipment is $32,865. The amount that has been
paid to Northwestern Equipment to date is $30,918, leaving a balance due this supplier of
$1,947.00. The pump rental cost from Northern Dewatering for two days is $545.30 (this
is included in the $3,770.91 they are requesting for payment). The City cost for 57 hours
of labor at $22.35 per hour is a total of $1,273.95. The fuel costs were approximately $60.00
per day, or a total or $120.00 for two days bringing the total City cost to $1,393.95.
Therefore, the City cost plus the cost for the bypass pump equipment for two extra days
totals $1,939.25. If this meE is with the Council's approval, we will recommend that
Northwestern Equipment provide the $1,939.25 to the City in lieu of final payment for the
pumps they furnished.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Honorable Mayor and Counc 1 Members

Stillwater, MN 55082
Dear Council. Members:
We have reviewed the Main ' Lift Station (Aiple) for needed repairs and functional
capabilities.
The condition of the building and the electrical equipment is still in satisfactory condition.
Therefore, we feel that this structure should provide service to the City for at least another
to the
30 years. This lift station was constructed in 1959 and have begun wear such that
City until recent years. In recnt years the pumps a nd valves
some of the valves cannot be turned off so that pumps may be removed and repaired/
replaced.
This lift station contains three pumps of various size. These pumps function on a demand
basis, that is, at low flow a s mailer pump handles the pumping requirements and then as
the flow increases the next pump takes over, etc. The main concern of public works at this
time is that the valving cannot be closed off such that pumps can be removed and either
replaced or repaired.
Since this pumping station is the last pumping station in the Stillwater system and pumps
t the
virtually all the sewage to the wastewater treatment a m pumps should nd
maintenance of this station be performed on a regular If the P
an overflow occurred at th is lift station, the consequences could require major clean up
and the sewage may even each the St. Croix River.
Since the pumping requirements of this lift station are
thatthe City could bypass be constructed around the station for emergency byp asses
the existing pumps, be at le to remove valves and other equipment to repair them or
replace them with new.

We would consider this an emergency procedure since we feel that the existing .pumps
could fail any time. Also, at this time one pump does not function at all and the second
pump functions periodically.
We have estimated the cost of performing the work to construct the bypass system of
piping, valves and manholes around the outside, of the station to be an estimated amount
of $50,000. This includes equipment rental from Miller Construction, materials purchased
by the Stillwater Water Board, personal services for equipment rental for bypass pumping
from Northern Dewatering, and an additional amount for public works time and water ._.
personnel time to construct the system.
The breakdown is as follows: -
Equipment Rental from Miller Construction Co.
Purchase of Valves, Piping, Fittings, Manholes

• We recommend the Council authorize the Public Works Department to proceed with this
construction in order to provide a bypass such that the pumps within the lift station can
be removed one at a time and either repaired or replaced.
If you have any questions, please contact me.

SEH File No: 92280
Dear Ms. Deblon:
We are enclosing herewith Invoice No. 8733 from Jay Brothers, Inc., General Contractors,
who assisted the City forces or. the South Main Lift Station to construct the bypass piping.
We have reduced the contract Dr's fee from 18% to 15 %, giving a total of $17,612.76. The
contractor is in agreement with this.
There are some explanations at you should have when reviewing this bill to consider
the cost compared to what ity cost would be for some of the materials and a cost
comparison with other quotes The charges that the contractor has included on 7 -28-92 are
for forming and pouring the op slab for the manhole which would contain the valving
and piping for the bypass. Sini:e these manholes were large, top slabs would be expensive
and the contractor elected to form and pour the slabs on the project because he felt it
would save the City money and it would also save him some time and effort. The total
cost of the top slab was $1,225.50 when he poured it inplace versus a price from Concrete
Products for a precast top slab at City cost delivered was $1,881.00. The contractor also
elected to pour the bottom slab inplace which cost under this contract $1,490.50. This
bottom slab had it been precast by the concrete company and shipped would have cost
the City $1,570.00. In addition to the cost of the precast slab, it would have taken at least
another half day digging and another half day back llling if the precast slab was used
because the hole that they excavated would have been larger besides difficulty hoisting
the slab around the power lines, etc. that are in the way. The extra half day of digging and
backfilling would have added an additional $1,600.00 onto the cost of the manhole itself.
The contractor also provided the barrel sections for the manhole to the City at contractor
prices which was $4,535.57. If the City had received these barrel sections directly from a
concrete company, the price would have been $4,750.00. The basic saving is in contractor
discounts and shipping costs.

In addition to the manhole construction, the contractor assisted the City in segregating the
contaminated soils. We feel that the following charges were paid by the City to handle to
contaminated soil on the project and the City should apply for a rebate on the
contaminated soil on this basis. The contractor piled up and separated the contaminated
soil for one half day on September 28, 1992 at a cost of $956.75 plus one half day on
September 29, 1992 at a cost of $830.50. He provided polyethylene to cover the pile at a
cost of $50.00, which is a total of $1,837.25. Adding on the. 15% profit for the contractor at
$275.59, the total amount that should be recoverable . from the Contaminated Soils Fund. is
$2,112.84.
We did receive quotes from other contractors but this was the most economical quote. -

TIM THOMPSON, PARK AND RECREATION DIRECTOR
DATE: MAY 26, 1993
SUBJECT: PLAN FOR 4.5 ACRE PARK /HIGHLANDS OF
STILLWATER
BACKGROUND:
As part of the Highlands of Stillwater Development, a 4.5
acre parcel was dedicated to the City of Stillwater for
park purposes. This was based on the City of Stillwater's
Park Dedication Policy.
DISCUSSION:
Now that the Highlands of Stillwater is developing Phase
4, it is time to develop a park plan for this 4.5 acre
parcel. It would be appropriate for the City to involve
the neighborhood (i.e. Highlands, Cottages) in development
of a park plan since they w i l l be the primary users. The
Park and Recreation Board should also have a role in this
development.
RECOMMENDATION:
Direct the Planning Department to work with the Park and
Recreation Department and Park Board to prepare a park
plan for the area with assistance and input from the
adjacent property owners.

THE BIRTHPLACE OF MINNESOTA
MEMORANDUM
TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: STEVE RUSSELL, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
DATE: MAY 27, 1993
SUBJECT: PARKING SPACE ON SOUTH SIDE OF OLIVE BETWEEN
MAIN AND SECOND STREETS
The Downtown Parking Commission would like to see the
space between the rear driveway access to John's Bar and
Union Alley designated a parking space.
This recommendaiton has been reviewed by Tom Sohrweide,
SEH, who has prepared the attached memo. He recommends the
space remain designated "NO PARKING ".
The Police Chief has reviewed the request and information
and recommends the space be designated "NO PARKING" (as
currently exits).
RECOMMENDATION:
Maintain Olive Street space as "NO PARKING ".

RE: No Parking Zone on Olive Street
SEH File No. 92280
MEMORANDUM
❑ CHIPPEWA FALLS. WI = MADISON WI
At your request, I reviewed the need for the existing "No Parking" area on the south side
of Olive Street between Union Alley and the driveway immediately to the east.
The on- street curb space in this location measures 20.5 feet. This is enough room for a
marked parking space. However, I recommend that a parking space not be marked at this
• location for the following reasons:
1. A marked parking space at this location would provide a significant sight obstruction
for northbound Union Alley traffic attempting to access Olive Street. The sight
distance for Union Alley is further compounded by the presence of a wood utility pole
and the street lighting cabinet in that area.
2. A vehicle parked in the existing "No Parking" area would create a physical
obstruction for a vehicle in the off - street parking space on the west end of the
driveway. The obstruction would be present when that vehicle would be attempting
to enter the parking space from the west and when the vehicle is attempting to back
out of the parking space to proceed either east or west.
If I can provide you with any additional information, or you have any further questions,
please contact me at 490 -2072.

Dear Mayor Hooley andCouncil Members:
Respectfully,

Patricia Klarich
106 South Sherburne Street
Stillwater, MN 55082
(612) 430 -1009
I would greatly appreciate your attention to need to remedy the
dangerous situation presented by the above_intersection:
As I'm sure you are all aware, the eastbound traffic on Pine must-stop,
the the southbound traffic on Fourth must stop, the northbound traffic on Fourth - =
must yield and the westbound traffic on Pine has the right of way without
a stop. There have been times in the past where I have seen cars almost blow
that intersection. Yesterday at approximately 2:15 p.m., I, along with junior
high students and others witnessed a terrible accident there, where if not
for the speed and competency of our police department and Lakeview - Paramedics,
a young man's life could very well have been lost. While the accident would
not have occurred without error, the chances for such a tragedy may have
been lessened by safer regulation of the intersection.
If the goal of having no stop sign for westbound traffic on Pine is
to keep cars moving past the junior high or to accommodate the grade on Pine
Street, perhaps this still be accomplished with a three -way stop for traffic
approaching from other directions, and also signs warning that westbound
traffic does not stop. I do not believe that I have ever seen a backup of
traffic northbound on Fourth to warrant continuing only to use a yield sign
to slow traffic. Perhaps Sunday church traffic might cause a small back up,
but I would rather have to stop and have others stop than to ever have any
Stillwater resident or visitor have to witness or be involved in such an
accident again. I spoke with several Stillwater City residents following
the accident, and all agreed that the intersection is needlessly dangerous
and the potential for injury great. I would sincerely appreciate your
consideration of ways to create a safer intersection at Fourth and Pine
Streets.

416 S. 4th St.
Stillwater, Minn. 55082
May 25, 1993
Last month I advised you that I and two other landowners who had petitioned
for annexation to the City of Stillwater had appealed the Washington County District
Court's decision to vest fee title and possession of their land contiguous to N.
McKusick Road to Washington County as part of the reconstruction of N. McKusick
Road.
I would like to inform you now that in order to settle and withdraw our appeal,
Washington County has agreed to transfer fee title of these properties back to their
former owners (Huntsman, Larson, and Houge/Lindstrom) in exchange for
permanent easements to accommodate the original reconstruction plans. This title
transfer is now legally complete.
On behalf of myself, Larson, and Houge/Lindstrom, I would like to state that
we still wish to be annexed and ask the Council to further the annexation process by
petitioning the Municipal Board to proceed with the necessary and lengthy process of
annexation approval to minimize more opportunity losses for development. Please do
• not forget the opportunity lost last March when the Rottlund Company home builders
expressed interest in developing the petitioned lands but declined simply because the
lands had not been approved for annexation.
Delays due to indecisiveness will only cause the most desirable and capable
developers to invest elsewhere. The housing market now favors the supply side, and
this temporary opportunity for development should be taken advantage of before it
disappears. I think petitioning the Municipal Board for approval would be a sign of
commitment by the City and encourage interested developers to begin the long
process of planning a good development.
Also, I ask that this letter be included in the formal record of your next Council
meeting.

Dear Ms. Bodlovick: -
P.O. BOX 80b7, ST. PAUL, MN 55108 (612) 641.0222
May 5, 1993
This letter is in response to our telephone conversation of 5/5/93.
As we discussed, my family and I are new residents to the city of Stillwater, having
moved there in July of 1991. Although we are very fond of the community and very
much like the charm of this river town environment, I have noted with some dismay
• over the last several months the proliferation of litter on our city streets and sidewalks:
In an effort to address this, I would like to propose that_the city of Stillwater set up a
similar to the "Adopt a Highway" program in outstate Minnesota. As I
understand it, volunteer groups that live on or near these highways are responsible for
periodically cleaning up the trash and putting it in appropriate receptacles. I would
propose that the citizens of our fine community ban together and establish a system
whereby one or two families would be responsible for a block or two of city streets.
By utilizing an aggressive public awareness campaignf getting all citizens aware of the
effort, I would think the entire city could be easily cleaned up in a week -end and this
maintained on a weekly or biweekly basis. Perhaps the responsibility or duties could
be rotated among various block families throughout the month and year.
I would appreciate if you would present this proposal at a upcoming city council
meeting and would like to hear the thoughts of other city council members and the
mayor.
I can be reached at 641 -0222 (days) or 439 -2809 (evenings).

Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of Stillwater
216 North 4th Street
Stillwater, Minnesota 55082 -4898
Dear Mayor and Council Members:
We are enclosing a draft copy of the above referenced report. This report was presented
to the previous Council, however, no decision was reached by the Council.
We feel that it is important that the Council review the Myrtle Street Ravine Drainage and
consider the improvement. The old storm sewer, which is beneath the home on the
southeast corner of Sixth Street and Myrtle Street, is deteriorating. It is possible that this
storm sewer could collapse any time.
The concern of the Council previously was the amount of the assessment to various
properties. The assessment role enclosed with this draft copy of the report was prepared
with 100% of the project costs assessed to each property involved. The assessment is also
levied over the total drainage area indicated on drawing No. 1. Some considerations
which the Council may wish to make would be regarding the method of assessment, the
area assessed and whether a stormwater taxing district should be established.
We are reintroducing this report in draft form such that the Council can review it and
discuss it with the undersigned, if you wish, before a final copy of the report is completed
and provided to the City.
We feel that the solutions that have been made for the drainage problem in the house
downstream at the corner of Fifth Street and Myrtle Street are only temporary at best.
Once again, we would be pleased to discuss this with the Council at your leisure.

RE: Stillwater, Minnesota
Myrtle Street Ravine Drainage
SEH File 93034.00
• As authorized, we have prepared this feasibility report to address the drainage concerns
of the Myrtle Street Ravine between Harriet Street and Sixth Street, just south of Myrtle
Street. The purpose of the report is to study the most feasible drainage system to
adequately outlet storm water flowage from the ravine. The existing outlet is under
capacity and has caused repetitive flooding at a downstream home. The existing pipe is
located under an existing home just south of Sixth Street.
We recommend that a combination of a detention basin and a storm sewer system will
solve the City's problem. We conclude that the project, as detaild in the following report,
is feasible and can best be constructed utilizing the most economical methods for an
estimated cost of $245,000.00.
Existing Conditions
The Myrtle Street Ravine conveys storm water runoff from a drainage area of 45.2 acres.
The drainage area encompasses residential areas from south at Greeley and Pine, west to
Owens, one block north of Myrtle and east to Harriet Street. The location map, drainage
area, and existing storm sewer are shown on Drawing No. 1.
Storm water runoff is conveyed to the ravine by several small storm sewer systems. The
storm water runoff from the drainage area is outletted from the ravine into two 24 -inch
diameter vitrified clay pipe that lie just south of Myrtle Street and run under Sixth Street
• at an angle. The pipe flow is then restricted at an 18 -inch diameter storm sewer pipe. The
18 -inch diameter pipe discharges into a 27 -inch diameter storm sewer system in the
Myrtle Street right -of -way at Fifth Street. The 24 -inch diameter and 18 -inch diameter
storm sewer pipes were constructed in the 1930s. It is the 18 -inch diameter storm sewer
segment that does not have enough capacity to convey the discharge and causes flooding
problems downstream. The condition of the pipe is deteriorating. Unfortunately, the two
24 -inch outlet pipes are located under a house on the southeast corner of Sixth Street and
Myrtle. This location of a very old and perhaps damaged City utility creates an
undesirable situation for the City.
Proposed Improvements
Drawing No. 2 illustrates the proposed improvements. They include excavating the
ravine between Harriet Street a rid Sixth Street to create a detention basin and construction
of storm sewer in the Myrtle Street right -of -way from just west of Sixth Street to Fifth
Street. The existing storm sewer outlet will be abandoned. The detention basin and storm
sewer system is designed to match the capacity of the existing 27 -inch diameter pipe at
Fifth Street for a 100 -year, 24 -hour design storm. The existing 27 -inch diameter pipe has a
full flow design capability of 78 cubic feet per second (cfs). Since the peak discharge of the
drainage area is 102 cfs, the ravine is proposed to be excavated to contain a volume that
will store the difference in runoff between the inflow and the capacity of the existing pipe.
The outlet is designed to allow a 75 cfs outflow. The peak storage volume for the proposed
detention basin is 1.54 acre feel:. The peak elevation for the design storm is 821.6 mean sea
level (MSL). Minimum buildir.g elevation in the area is 823 MSL. The difference between
the peak elevation and the nearby building allows a 1.5 -foot freeboard condition. The
proposed detention basin will not hold water between storms. It is designed to be a "dry"
detention basin.
The ravine detention basin will outlet into a 36 -inch diameter storm sewer that is
proposed to be open cut constructed from the pond to Manhole 3 as shown on Drawing
No. 2. It is proposed to install the remaining storm sewer under Myrtle Street by boring a
24 -inch steel casing pipe which will also act as the carrier pipe. Boring the storm sewer
under Myrtle Street will greatly reduce the expense of the project by reducing the street
replacement costs and distur Dance to other utilities. This method of construction will,
however, require four areas at which the contractor must disturb Myrtle Street to build
manhole jacking pits. The contractor will have to minimize the size of these areas by using
sheeting because of the close roximity of other inplace utilities.
There are two abandoned cat basins at the intersection of Sixth Street and Myrtle which
will be removed and replace and connected to the new storm sewer pipe.
Traffic will be maintained on Myrtle Street during construction. Since Myrtle Street is 44
feet wide face of curb to face cf curb, the contractor should be able to maintain two 12 -foot
lanes of traffic and minimize traffic disruption.
Design Methods
The estimated volume and rate of runoff for the Myrtle Street ravine was modeled
utilizing the SCS Runoff Cur ve Number Method. The design storm used was a 100 -year,
24 -hour duration rainfall. The term "100- year" is the return period or reoccurrence
Myrtle Street Ravine Drainage Feasibility Report Page 2
•
•
•
interval of this storm event. The return period is related to the probability of a given event
• being equal or exceeded. The probability that the "100 -year event" will be exceeded in a
given year is 1 percent. The SCS TR20 computer model calculated the peak discharge
rates.
Conclusions and Recommendations
Based on our analysis of the hydrology of the drainage area, existing conditions and site
constraints, we recommend that the combination detention basin and storm sewer system
be constructed as outlined in the report.
Jacking the new storm sewer pipe in Myrtle Street will reduce the overall cost of the
project and allow the project to be constructed while -maintaining traffic. Detention basin
construction is necessary to control the rate of flow out of the ravine to match the capacity
of the downstream 27 -inch pipe. Construction of the new storm sewer outlet bypasses the
undersized outlet which has caused numerous floodings in the past. It is recommended
to abandon the two existing 24 -inch and the 18-inch storm sewer outlet by blowing it full
of sand so that any collapse would not produce a settlement. However, before the pipe is
• abandoned, it should be televised to verify the existence of any roof drain or sump pump
services.
•
A type 2 rainfall distribution was used to evaluate the freeboard "worst case" condition
and determine the peak elevation of the pond and the peak outflow. The "type" of storm
is a synthetic 24 -hour rainfall distribution developed from available National Weather
Service duration - frequency data for various parts of the country.
An easement will be required for the 36 -inch storm sewer pipe from the east end of the
detention basin to Myrtle Street.
SEH has estimated that construction of this project would cost $245,000. The estimated
cost includes 35 percent for construction contingencies, administrative, engineering and
legal fees.

The Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of Stillwater
216 North Fourth Street
Stillwater, Minnesota 55082
RE: Property Tax Appeal
Gentlemen and Madame:
This letter is being sent in order to request that the City
Council reconsider its decision not to review the request of Curve
Crest Properties II (herein referred to as Curve Crest) to lower
the assessed value of its property located at 1778 Washington
Avenue, Stillwater, Minnesota 55082, and to renegotiate the
underlying TIF agreement.
By way of introduction, I am Howard Marschel and my company is one
of the tenants in the building owned by Curve Crest. As a
business, we not only provide goods and /or services to Stillwater
and the greater St. Croix Valley, we also employ 11 persons. The
request to lower the assessed value of the subject property is not
being made in an effort to receive special treatment. As a
tenant, our lease requires that we pay a base rent, plus common
area expenses and real estate taxes. As a result, it is not Curve
Crest who is paying the taxes on the building, it is the tenants.
The amount of the real estate taxes caught us by surprise, based
on the amount that other comparable buildings are being assessed.
The subject building, pursuant to the TIF agreement, is assessed
at approximately $1.2 million. This assessment exceeds the market
value of the property and exceeds the assessed value of other
similar properties located in Stillwater and other parts of
Washington County. Since Curve Crest is willing to give back
portions of the payments it receives under the TIF, it is
difficult to imagine why the City is opposed to at least
discussing the merits of a reduction in the assessed value. We
are only requesting that this property be taxed and assessed like
other comparable properties in Washington County.
e e x //3
Letter to City of Stillwater
May 26, 1993
Page 2
The real estate taxes in Stillwater exceed those of other
municipalities and our coal is to be able to remain a viable and
operating business in Stillwater. The burden of real estate taxes
has caused several businesses to relocate to other states, and
also to other cities within the state of Minnesota. The real
estate taxes on the subject property are overly burdensome and are
a major expense which has caused us to consider other
alternatives. We cannot compete with other businesses in the area
who are located in commercial buildings with assessed values that
are lower and fairer for comparable facilities.
Utilizing the current assessed value, the real estate taxes on the
subject property are $77,578.00. Our portion, which is 17.5%, is
$13,576.15 per year, or $1,131.35 per month. We simply cannot
afford these rates and we would request that the City Council
reconsider at least discussing a reduction in the assessed value
of the subject property and /or renegotiating the TIF agreement.
Since the developer is :interested in having the property rented
and, therefore, is willing to do whatever is necessary to ensure
that these businesses a:.e allowed to compete but, more
importantly, to continue to prosper in the Stillwater area, we
encourage the City to take the same view.
Since none of the TIF fends are scheduled to be paid until August
of 1993, this presents :he City with unique opportunity to_correct
an untenable situation. We as tenants, along with the developer,
would like to work with the City of Stillwater in a team effort to
regain control of property taxes in order to ensure that
businesses remain in business to serve this area.
Yours very truly,
41110?

SUPERINTENDENT ANNOUNCES EMERGENCY USE RESTRICTIONS- TO_PREVENT_THE SPREAD OF
THE ZEBRA MUSSEL
St. Croix National Scenic Riverway Superintendent Anthony L. Andersen
invites anyone interested to receive a copy of Emergency Use Restrictions on the
St. Croix River. The Code of Federal Regulations, Title 36, Section 1.5, gives
the Superintendent authority to establish emergency restrictions necessary for
the preservation of the environmental value of the riverway and protection of its
natural resources.
This action is necessary to inhibit the spread of the Zebra mussel. Because
it is highly prolific and capable of removing significant amounts of
phytoplankton (a primary food source for fish and other aquatic life) the zebra
mussel will result in the degradation of the riverway's aquatic communities.
For more specific information contained within the Emergency Use
Restrictions, please contact Riverway headquarters office in St. Croix Falls,
Wisconsin 715/483- 3284.
Saint Croix National Scenic Riverway • Saint Croix Falls, Wisconsin 54024

emergency use restrictions on the St. Croix River. This restriction to the free
and open travel on the St. Croix River is necessary in order to prevent the zebra
mussel, an exotic species, from being transported upstream while attached to
hulls, boat trailers, or by its presence in boat bilge water, or bait containers.
This action is necessary because there is no known way to control the spread of
this species once it becomes established in a body of water. Highly prolific,
and capable of removing significant amounts of- phytoplankton, a primary food
source for fish and other aquatic life, the presence of the zebra mussel will
result in the degradation cf the riverway's aquatic communities. These mussels
can clog water intake strui;tures, foul engines, replace native species, create
unsafe beaches due to thei sharp shells, and will eventually upset the entire
ecological community in wrich they become established. Most importantly, it
threatens to eliminate natural mussel populations from the river system, such as
the Higgins eye pearly mussel and the winged mapieleaf mussel, two species
Federally listed as endangered under the Endangered Species Act. This population
of the winged mapieleaf mussel is the only known population in the world. If a
control method for the zebra mussel becomes available, these restrictions could
be eased.
Consistent with applicable legislation and Federal administrative policies, and
based upon a determination that this action is necessary for the protection of
environmental values and the natural resources of the St. Croix National Scenic
Riverway, as authorized by '6 U.S.C. 1 -4, pursuant to Section 1.5, Title 36, Code
of Federal Regulations, the following conditions and user restrictions on boating
on the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway are effective May 24, 1993 through
November 1, 1993:
1
•
•
1. The St. Croix River and its tributary, the Namekagon River, is closed to
any ship, boat, canoe, or other water vessel if it is reasonably suspected
to have been exposed to the zebra mussel or its larvae by being present in
waters known or reasonably suspected to be infested with the zebra mussel.
Travel upstream or downstream from the location of the Arcola Sandbar,
located approximately six miles north of Stillwater, is limited to the
following:
a. Any vessel going upstream will be prohibited from traveling further
upstream if it has been operating in water reasonably suspected to
be infested with zebra mussels until proven it has been
decontaminated by an acceptable method.
b. Any vessel going downstream will be allowed to go downstream only to
a point above any area considered infested with zebra mussels;
should it go further into an infested area, it will not be allowed
to return north of the sandbar, unless it has been decontaminated.
c. The Superintendent may impose additional conditions and establish
other restrictions, in accordance with the criteria and procedures
of Sections 1.5 and 1.7 of 36 CFR in order to reduce the possibility
of zebra mussels being transported in the St. Croix National Scenic
Riverway.
d. Water which is reasonably suspected to be contaminated; bait water,
live tank water, bilge water from known infested or contaminated
waters will not be permitted beyond the check point at the Arcola
Sandbar.
2. Operating a vessel upstream of the Arcola Sandbar, or knowingly allowing
another person to operate a vessel upstream of the Arcola Sandbar, if it
is expected to have been exposed to the zebra mussel or its larvae by
being present in waters known or reasonably suspected to be infested with
the zebra mussel is prohibited.

Wednesday, April 14. Mr. Klonecki placed a Valvoline 12 quart cardboard box next
to his standard plastic receptacle. In the Valvoline box, he had placed Valvoline
PLASTIC MJIOR OIL QUART BOTTLES - which he said were clearly marked USED MOTOR
OIL - RECYCLE ". The labels on the bottles, even though they were in the box,
were visible.
Junker's employee picked up the box of bottles, dumped them all into the adjacent
plastic receptacle, and in turn dumped the contents of the receptacle - including
the bottles of used oil - into the general garbage in the truck.
Mr. Klonecki filed this complaint because the USED OIL WAS NOT RECYCLED.

Events by anyone that result in used motor oil entering the general waste stream
must be avoided by all parties. The Contractor has procedures in place to handle
used motor oil. No record was reported of this in the truck log. Contractor cites
"human error" as the only explanation of this happening. DRC requests Contractor
to periodically restate handling procedures for used motor oil and other toxic
materials as well.

DRC ACTION:
The DRC had no facts to consider here beyond the statements of both parties as to
where the uncollected bags were stored awaiting pickup. Item #5 in the City contract
specifies "curbside" with no further definition of what that means. If this issue
arises again, we suggest that "within reach of someone standing in the street" might
clear the air. We noted that the incident was recorded in the Contractor's truck
log - where all potential problems are noted by each driver.
