I would like to have 4 weeks of sick leave with an additiol',al 8 weeks of "part-time/flc.at schedule" as I had for my first leave of absence. The way that I anticipate the leave working is basically the same as the first time I took leave. Due to the hiring of a new employee, I perceive that it will 'be necessary for me to return to work shortly to supervise and schedule work for her because of being so new to our system. I feel that I will probably be returning anywhere from 8 - 16 hours per week during my first 4 weeks of absence. After that I anticipate that, due to the time frame of the budget and tax levy, I would be working at least 40 hours per week but I would like this to be on a float schedule between my home and the office as needed. If it would be that I work less than 40 hours per week after I have taken my 4 weeks of sick leave, I understand that my salary and benefits would be pro rata. I do not see a need for me to have a telephone line connected to the City for computer use because the new employee will be updating and entering the budget this year. I will need the P.C. home from time to time to update schedules for salaries, insurance, taxes, etc. for the 1989 budget. I have reviewed this with Nile and he has expressed no concerns regarding this plan. I feel my position has responsibilities that I must carry out such as a timely budget and levy adoption and I promise that these will be carried out with them minimum of interruption.

TRAFFIC FLOW AND ANALYSIS STUDY GREELEY STREET AND CHURCHILL STREET ~Rg8LEM Seve~al complaints have been received f~om citizens in the neighborhood of the intersection of Greeley St~eet and Churchill Street ~equesting that stop signs be placed at the intersection of Greeley Street and Chu~chill Street regulating the no~th and south bound traffic on Greeley St~eet. BEeSO~~ The reasons cited by the people wishing the intersection change are as follows: The west bound t~affic using Chruchill St~eet has to wait an excessively long time before it can tu~n left or right onto Greeley Street. The accident rate at the intersection of Greeley Street and Churchill St~eet is abnormally high, especially for injury accidents. The traffic north and south bound on Greeley Street tends to travel in excess of the posted speed limit frequently. Greeley Street, a major secondary feeder to route Thirty-six, has an excessive volume of traffic going north and south. . . . TRAFFIC FLOW AND ANALYSIS STUDY GREELEY STREET AND CHURCHILL STREET Page 2 ~gMgGB8e~ICS The intersection of Greeley Street and Churchill Street is best described as follows: The intersection is located in a residential area. There is a park located at the north east corner of the intersection where playground equipment is located and children are at play in this area most of the time. There is a crest of a hill about one and one-half blocks to the south of Churchill Street. This hill crest makes it difficult for drivers attempting to enter Greeley Street from Churchill Street to see approaching vehicles from the south. There is a hospital with an Emergency Ambulance entrance on to Greeley Street about one block south of the intersection. There is a park and recreation area, Lilly Lake, located about three blocks to the south of the intersection. This area is used quite heavely during all seasons of the year by youth and adults. Stillwater Senior High School is located two blocks east and two blocks south of the intersection. The intersection is one of the main routes taken by the senior high students and faculty when going to and from the senior high. . . . TRAFFIC FLOW AND ANALYSIS STUDY GREELEY STREET AND CHURCHILL STREET Page 3 Greeley Street is a major feeder route of highway Thirty-six and Chruchill Street is a major secondary feeder route to Greeley Street. ~5I~gDgbO~Y The methodology used to determine the validity of the problem are as follows: Study the traffic volume on Greeley Street during selected peak periods of the day. Study the stopping times of right and left turning automobiles on Churchill Street to Greeley Street during selected peak periods of the day. Analyze speeding tickets, from 1987 to present, of selected intersections. Analyze the history of the traffic accidents at Greeley and Churchill Street and Greeley and Pine Street. Interview with Mayor Abrahamson and Public Safety Director Mr. Mawhorter regarding complaints received dealing with the intersection of Greeley and Churchill. . . . TRAFFIC FLOW AND ANALYSIS STUDY GREELEY STREET AND CHURCHILL STREET Page 4 RSSULT2 Ic~ffis_~QIYm~_aiyg~_C~a~lia Traffic volumes were studied on two successive time periods on Greeley Street and Churchill Street: The first study was done from 7:15 a.m. to 8:15 a.m. on May 3. The results showed that there were 313 cars going north and 620 going south. The total number of cars observed on this study period was 933. The second one was done on May 4 from 11:55 a.m. to 12:55 p.m. The number of cars going north was 415 and the number going south was 342. The total number of cars observed on this study period was 757. gi2eeinQ_iim~_ai~g~_C~a~lia The stopping times of right and left turning vehicles on Churchill Street turning to north or south on Greeley Street were studied on three selected time periods. The results of the study are as follows: May 3, 1988 7:15 a.m 8: 15 a. m. b:!!fi_iycning Bigtli_1YCDiDg Highest recorded stopping time 125 sec. 21 sec.

Greeley Street and the 1700 block or Pine Street. The results are as rollows: 207 summons were issued in the 1400 block or W. Myrtle Street from January 1, 1986 to May 15, 1988. 280 summons were issued in the 1200 block or S. Greeley Street from January 1, 1986 to May 15, 1988. 205 Sl..lmmOnS were issued in the 1700 block or Pine Street rrom January 1, 1987 to May 1, 1988. 8ssig~n!_bia!2~~ A study or accidents from 1984 to present was conducted at the intersections or Greeley and Churchill Street and or Greeley and Pine Street. Pine Street is three blocks north or Churchill and has a rour way stop sign. The number or personal injury accidents at the intersection or Greeley and Churchill Street was 4. The number or personal injury accidents at the intersection Greeley and Pine Street was O. The number or property damage accidents at Greeley and Churchill Street was 11. The number or property damage accidents at Greeley and Pine Street was 7. . . . TRAFFIC FLOW AND ANALYSIS STUDY GREELEY STREET AND CHURCHILL STREET Page 7 l~IsBVlsW~ The interviews were conducted with the Mayor and Mr. Mawhorter. Mayor Abrahamson indicated that he has received numerous complaints about the intersection. The complainants indicated that the left turn stopping time was too great on Churchill Street waiting to enter Greeley Street. He also said the intersection was dangerous and stop signs should be put up. Mr. Mawhorter said he also has had many complaints about the intersection. The people complained that they had to wait too long to turn onto Greeley from Churchill. They also complained about the speed the vehicles were traveling on Greeley Street and that they can't see cars coming from the north on Churchill due to the hill. Mr.. Mawhorter feels that there may be a valid reason for putting up stop signs due to insufficient sight distance, speed of vehicles using Greeley Street and the apparent traffic congestion at the intersection. EI~~l~G~ As a result of the information gathered while conducting this study, the following facts are established: I~~ffis_~21Ym~ Although more data could have been gathered, it would seem . . . TRAFFIC FLOW AND ANALYSIS STUDY GREELEY STREET AND CHURCHILL STREET Page 8 that the traffic volume on Greeley Street is at certain times of the day very high. The two traffic counts that were conducted, one at early morning rush hour and one at noon time rush hour, indicate rather high traffic volumes ranging from 13-16 cars per minute respectively. Public Safety Director Mawhorter indicated that this volume of traffic was very high for streets in Stillwater with use types consistent with this type of street. During the traffic count periods, 145 cars and 168 cars respectfully entered on Greeley Street from Churchill Street. This averages out to be 4 cars per minute. The number of vehicles using Churchill Street to enter Greeley Street indicates that Churchill Street is more than a residential street. It is, rather, a secondary feeder route leading to a primary residential ingress and egress route for vehicles to travel as was indicated by Chief Mawhorter. 3!QQQiDg_!im~ The three stopping time periods that were observed during this study indicate that left turning vehicles from Churchill Street to Greeley Street frequently experienced excessive delay~ at thi~ intersection. All three time periods studied showed high recorded stopping time in . . . TRAFFIC FLOW AND ANALYSIS STUDY GREELEY STREET AND CHURCHILL STREET Page 9 excessive of one and one half minute for left hand turning. Average stopping time for left hand turning traffic varied from 30 seconds to one minute. The mode stopping varied from 3 to 18 seconds. Right hand turning traffic experienced similar but less severe delays. High stopping times varied from 21 to 53 seconds, average stopping times from 6 to 14 seconds, and mode stopping times varied from 2 to 7 seconds. Another situation that occurred at this intersection that was not recorded in the study results was the fact that often several vehicles would be stacked up at the intersection at any given time. According to Chief Mawhorter, excessive delays at intersections can cause drivers to become impatient and to take chances that they would normally not take. The information learned from this portion of the study would, by itself, seem to indicate that stop signs should be placed at the intersection because of the period of time drivers have to wait to enter the intersection is usually greater than time required to enter a four way stopped intersection. 3Q~~g_~D~1~~i~ An analysis of three speed trouble areas of similar demographics was conducted in an effort to find out if speed . . . TRAFFIC FLOW AND ANALYSIS STUDY GREELEY STREET AND CHURCHILL STREET Page 10 should be considered as a part of this study. The results of the study clearly indicate that speed is in fact an issue of concern at this intersection. Of the three areas studied, Greeley Street had the highest number of speeding tickets issued. The high number of tickets issued, when combined with the short sight distance to the south of the intersection and the extended stopping periods clearly presents an additional hazard to motorist entering Greeley Street from Churchill Street. 8~~iQ~nt_8n~1~~i~ Study of the intersection of Greeley and Pine Street and Greeley and Churchill Street was conducted to learn whether traffic volume alone was the cause of accidents at Greeley Street and Churchill Street. A review of the accidents that occurred at this intersection, from 1984 to present, shows a marked difference between the intersections. Injury accidents were 400 percent more likely to occur at Greeley and Churchill Street than at Pine and Greeley Street and property damage accidents were 64 percent more likely to occur at Churchill Street and Greeley Street than at Pine Street and Greeley Street. From this information, it is safe to assume that traffic volume alone is not the major . . . TRAFFIC FLOW AND ANALYSIS STUDY GREELEY STREET AND CHURCHILL STREET Page 11 contributing factor for the high accident rate at Churchill Street and Greeley Street. Further, it is safe to assume that due to the equal traffic volumes at both intersections, that speed is a significant factor at the intersection of Churchill Street and Greeley Street. B5COM~5NR8TION From the information provided in this study it is recommended that stop signs, stopping traffic north and south bound on Greeley Street at Churchill Street, be installed. . . , ' . . .

Thorn Administrative Assistant Lisa Gidlow Moriarty'" Legal Assistant DATE: June 3, 1988 TO: MAYOR, COUNCIL, CITY COORDINATOR AND PLANNER FROM: David T. Magnuson, City Attorney At what stage in the planning, development and construction of a project may it legitimately be stopped by a permit revocation? The traditional approach used to determine whether a vested right existed was to locate a fixed point in the development sequence, such as, until the issuance of a building permit and some physical activity at the project site. The prevailing modern approach, however, that is found in Minnesota and most jurisdictions, is to refuse to recognize a vested right to develop property unless the municipality has issued a permit which was valid under existing law, and the property owner, in reliance thereon has made a substantial change of position in relation to the land, made substantial expenditures or incurred substantial obligations. 2 Rathkotf, The Law of Zoning and Planning, Chapter 57, Section 14 (3rd Addition) 1972; 8A McQuillan, Municipal Corporations (Revised) Volume 1965, Section 25.188. This view was first clearly articulated in the case of Hawkinson vs.County of Itasca, 231 N.W.2d 279 (Minn. 1975), and followed in RidgewoodDevelopment Company vs. State of Minnesota, 294 N.W.2d 288 (1980) and has most recently been explained in the 1981 case of Jasaka Company vs. City of st. Paul, 309 N.W.2d 40 (Minn. 1981). In Hawkinson, the Court quoted with approval the view of the Iowa Supreme Court that "it is impossible to fix a definite percentage of the total cost which establishes vested rights. It depends on the type of project, its location, opportunity for recoupment of expenses, ultimate cost, and principally the amount accomplished under conformity." In summary, the amount of money that an owner stands to lose by reason of revocation is the yard stick used to measure vested rights. . . . PLANNING APPLICATION REVIEW Planning Commission Meeting: CASE NO. SUP/88-24 May 9, 1988 Project Location: 2001 Washington Avenue North Comprehensive Plan District: Industrial Park Commercial Zoning District: IP-C Applicant1s Name: Thomas Thueson (Cub Foods) Type of Application: Special Use Permit Project Description: The request is for a Special Use Permit to construct a 1,600 sq. ft. temporary greenhouse and provide for a storage/display area directly outside the designated structure in the Cub Foods parking lot. Discussion: The request is to construct 1,600 sq. foot temporary greenhouse and provide a storage/display area directly outside the designated structure in the Cub Foods parking lot. The greenhouse has been an annual promotion at Cub Foods. This year the storage and display area directly outside the greenhouse will be an additional use. The whole area of the greenhouse and storage area will be 3,990 sq. ft. using 22 parking spaces of the 627 parking stalls, leaving 605 parking spaces for customer parking. The parking space requirement for Cub Foods is one space for each one hundred and fifty (150) square feet of gross floor area or 569 parking spaces. The 605 parking spaces adequately meets this requirement. Conditions of Approval: 1. Prohibit parking in the four spaces immediately adjacent to the greenhouse area and the driveway. 2. All sales and storage must be kept within the designated greenhouse, display and storage area. 3. This approval applies to future years for a similar period. Recommendation: Approval. Findings: The proposed use will not be injurious to the neighborhood or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare and will be in harmony with the general purpose of this Ordinance.

The greenhouse promotion has become an annual event over the past several years at our Twin Cities area stores. The data which I am providing as a follow-up to our phone conversation this morning includes the following items: 1) Two pages of specifications and a diagram illustrating the major characteristics of the greenhouse tubular framework. 2) "Before and after" parking ratios, which show the impact of the greenhouse on available parking stalls. The greenhouse is proposed to be 20 feet in width by 80 feet long, for a ~otal of 1600 square feet. It consists of 13/8 inch (o.d.) triple coated, cold rolled steel framework having a wall thickness of .055 inches. Connecting hoops are spaced 4' center-to-center. The structure is covered with 6 ml. polypropylene sheets, and .all metal parts have a clear acrylic finish as well as rounded edges to prevent tearing. Anchor posts are 30 inch reinforced rods, spaced every 4 feet. These are 1 5/8 inch (o.d.) galvanized rods. ,- ."" " .,/ ~"" .,t,.'-"-~ .,,'," ,~ ,. :,~.~ .... , /, ,/ .

SUP/88-25 Planning Commission Meeting: May 9, 1988 Project Location: 1250 South Main Street Comprehensive Plan District: General Heavy Industrial/Two Family Residential/Bluffland/Shoreland/Flood Plain District. Applicant's Name: Frank Aiple, Sr. Type of Application: 'Special Use Permit Project Description: Special Use Permit to fill and grade an approximate 2,000 ft. road at 1250 South Main Street. This road is between the Warehouse (across from Oasis Cafe) and the Barge Office on Frank Aiple1s property. Discussion: The request is to fill and grade the road so that it will be level with the Warehouse on the South side of the property (3 ft. below 165 flood level). In order to raise this road to Warehouse level, as much as four feet of fill may be needed. The fill and road surface will consist of existing material on the property. The DNR was contacted on this matter. Their basic concern was erosion on the East side of the road caused by flooding or by general run-off from the road. DNR would like to see erosion stabilized in this area. A sewer main runs directly under the road. Public Works has two concerns. One, the amount of fill needed to raise the road may make it difficult to get to the sewer main and two, the pressure from the amount of fill on the sewer main. The City Engineer will be contacted for comment. Conditions of Approval: 1. Erosion must be stabilized on the East side of the road. 2. City Engineer to comment on the fill and grade. 3. Any adjustments or repairs to the sewer line caused by the project shall be the responsibilty of the applicant. Recommendation: Approval.

Pursuant to your request, we have reviewed the area on city property proposed to be filled by Mr. Aiple. This property lies adjacent to the east side of Main Street south of Nelson Street in the vicinity of the Oasis Cafe. It is our understanding that Mr. Aiple intends to place approx- imately 3 feet of new fill on the existing roadway traversing the property in a north/south direction from the city's lift station to the vicinity of the existing truck scale building. The main interceptor sewer which discharges the wastewater flow from the City of Stillwater to the treatment plant also parallels this roadway. This sani tary sewer line has manholes approximately every 200 or 300 feet along the entire length of the proposed fill area. Presently, these manholes are at or very near the existing grade. The manholes are required for access to the sanitary sewer for cleaning and maintenance purposes. It appears that the filling operation will impact each manhole. If Mr. Aiple fills a total of 3 feet from the existing ground, each manhole may require excavation, removal of the cone section or brick, and either a new precast section inserted or the brick reconstructed, raising the manhole castings to the new grade established by the fill for easy access to the sewer. . SHORT ELL/Orr HENDRICKSON INC ST PAUL, MINNESOTA CHIPPEWA FALLS, WISCONSIN . . . Ms. Ann Pung Terweedo May 12, 1988 Page #2 We recommend that Mr. Aiple meet with Mr. David Junker before placing fill so that the manhole locations can be indicated.

V/88-27 Planning Commission Meeting: May 9, 1988 Project Location: 203 West Hazel Street Comprehensive Plan District: Single Family Residential Zoning District: RA Applicant's Name: Richard A. and Julie Edstrom Type of Application: Variance Project Description: Variance request to construct an eight foot fence (six foot maximum required). Discussion: The fence will be located on the South si~e of the Edstrom property and will run East to West. To the South of this proposed fence is a new home with the backyard containing a dog and dog pen constructed of log posts and wire mesh. The Edstroms feel that a six foot fence would not block the view of the dog pen area from the patio and deck, as well as the kitchen and eating area of their home. The Edstroms would like to be screened from this area as much as possible and feel an eight foot fence would accommodate this. The new home is also at a slightly lower elevation than the Edstrom home so they feel the fence must be eight feet to screen the area. The fence will be approximately five and one-half feet high beginning at the West end of the property then run downward in a Northeasterly direction following the slight slope and reaching an eight foot height. After a field survey of the area, a six foot fence would block the view of the neighbor's backyard. Recommendation: Denial. Findings: For reasons set forth fully in the discussion, the granting of the variance is not necessary for the reasonable use of the land or buildings. Attachments: Copies of photographs. PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval as conditioned. CONDITIONS: 1. The applicant shall submit a letter from the neighbors supporting the eight foot fence request. 2. The fence shall be set back a minimum of two feet. ".-.. ',..', , , ~~j~/; '",.. ' . . ~:{f ( .

April 28, 1988 TO: Members of the Planning Commission , Stillwater, l\1N . . FROM: Richard A. Edstrom 203 West Hazel St. Stillwater, MN SUBJECT: Variance request for privacy fence (height) /' ( Unknown to us, the city of Stillwater has an ordianance regarding the height requirements for fences. This was also unknown to our builder and architects. As we sought to complete our site plan, as initiated when we began building, we were made aware of the ordinance. Our home was completed late last summer. We are hoping to complete the landscaping this spring. The accompanying photos will show the framing for the fence in place. Construcion has stopped however, as we await your approval. ' A new structure has been built on lot 1, with side and back yard containing a dog pen of log posts and wire mesh directly \ adjacent to our front yard. It is in full view of our patio area and deck, as well as the kitchen and eating area of our home. It is our desire to have this screened as much as possible. The following photos and drawings are offered to assist you in making your decision. We appreciated your consideration of this matter. The project has been carefully and professionally designed and would be built in the same manner. We feel it will enhance both properties, at no cost to one party. No direct sight lines from lot 1 are affected; only angular ones directed at our home. Thank you again for your consideration. s~ Richard A.

(C April 25, 1988 Stillwater Planning Commission Stillwater City Council Stillwater, MN 55082 To Whom It May Concern: My name is Chris Fischer and I live at III S Williams Also at this residence is my wife Laura and daughter We have lived at this address for about 1 1/2 years. been a life long resident of stillwater. St. Tanya. I have My business at hand today is to request a special use permit from the City of Stillwater, to operate a Furniture Refinishing Business on my property. I have spent about five years refinishing furniture for myself and for family/freinds. I have been planing my business for about a year now. My request is to operate my business in my garage which is being built within the next month. The name of my company will be Fischers Furniture Restoration. I am planning on operating my business as low key as possible, as to not disrupt the peacefulness of the neiborhood. Some points I would like to make in regards to this statement are as follows: 1. I won't be advertising my company's address, due to the fact that all my business is conducted over the phone or at the customers address (I do estimates and pick-up and delivery at customers address), therefore there would not be any traffic in regards to this request. 2. My house and garage would be kept residential in appearence, a person would not even be able to tell that a business is located here. 3. My business hour~s would be 8:00 to 5:00 on weekdays. 4. I will not erect any signs of any type on my property idicating it as a business. . . . , . ( .. r ..... 5. I will be doing all the refinishing inside the garage and would not be working outside at all. 6. There will be no noise of any kind from this business. In summary the only purpose my residential property would serve is as a place to do the actual work of Refinsihing Furniture. At this time, because of finances, the only way I could operate a Furniture Refinishing Business is to do it on my own property. I plan on spending approx. 3 years operating from my garage and build up a good clientall and reputation. After this time I plan on moving to a commercial location. I would like to point out that I live in a area were we are pretty much to oursevles. On one side is a revine and the other side the neigbors are facing the other street. There are also serval business within two blocks of my property, (Davian, Co-OP, Greely St Building, Greely st Nursing Home, Nelsons Dairy, United Methodist Church) with regards to this much business in the neigborhood already and as low key as I will operate I hope you will see fit to issue this permit. I have discussed my business plans with my two nearest neigbors (Pat Bonse and Rienburgers) and neither of them has any objections to my plans. I have included with my request a copy of my property survey and the location of my garage. If you have any questions please call me at 439-7699. Thank you for your time. ~~~ Chris Fischer ~-, , ...

SUP/88-30 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING: May 9, 1988 PROJECT LOCATION: 324 South Main Street COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DISTRICT: General Commercial ZONING DISTRICT: CA APPLICANT1S NAME: Estebans of Stillwater TYPE OF APPLICATION: Special Use Permit PROJECT DESCRIPTION: A Special Use Permit requesting placement of two signs on the Grand Garage. One sign is a chimney (roof) sign, the other is an additional "major" face sign. DISCUSSION: Estebans of Stillwater has recently moved from the Brick Alley (423 South Main Street) to their new location in the Grand Garage (previously Gammon's Restaurant). They have placed an Estebans canvas sign on the flag pole. The sign is a double face sign that is parallel to Main Street. The additional sign that Estebans would like to place on the Grand Garage is a chimney (roof) sign. This sign has previously been placed on the back of the Brick Alley with the letters running parallel. The new placement on the chimney would place the lettering horizontal. Estebans is also reopening the Cobblestone Cafe. The sign they would like to place identifying their business is similar to the canvas Estebans sign which is now in place on the flag pole. This new sign is approximately the same size (3 ft. x 10 ft.), is double faced and is also parallel to the street. Since the Estebans sign is considered a "majorll face sign (the largest sign on the Grand Garage), the additional Cobblestone Cafe would also be considered a "major" face. Two major points to these two requests include the following: 1. Due to the new location of Estebans in the Grand Garage, additional signage is necessary so the business may be identified to vehicular and pedestrian traffic on Main Street. 2. The architectural integrity of the Grand Garage would not be altered by the placement of these signs. Conditions of Approval: 1. The chimney sign will not damage the brick on the chimney. 2. No additional signage is permitted. Recommendation: Approval. Attachments: Appllcation & Drawings PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: APPROVAL AS CONDITIONED. .c lea -t. _.~ f_-- .. -- .-~-~~.- ,...

In the process of completing our planned expansion at our Stillwater site, we have encountered a problem with our parking lot. To properly drain our lot and comply with the city specifications, a line needs to be installed between our parking lot and the adjoining lot to the south. Normally the city would install this line and assess the expense back to the adjoining property owners. In this case, the ownership of the adjoining property is in question and therefore complicating the completion of our lot. To resolve this problem, we would like to install the pipe at a cost of $17,400 and request that we be given credit for the same amount against future assessments.

"~ - - ~ --- ---- -\ ~ THE BIRTHPLACE OF MINNESOTA J TO: Mayor and City Council FR: City Coordi nator DA: June 3, 1988 ~E: CLAIMS FROM SEWER BACK-UP On April 6th and 24th, 1988 the City experienced a generator breakdown at the Maryknoll lift station. This resulted in a sewage flow stoppage and back-up which affected several homes. A summary of the expenses/damages to the homeowners accompanies this memo. Our insurance investigator does not believe that the is City liable because: . 1. The City was not negligent in either the installation or maintenance of the lift station equipment; and 2. The City took corrective action immediately following notice or discovery of the problem. The investigator further belteves that the generator was defective and that the manufacturer may be responsible. We are following up on this allegation and will try to recover from the manufacturer/distributor if we have conclusive evidence that this is the case. In the meantime, I believe it may be in the best interest of all concerned to have the City pay the claims. I believe it is somewhat unfair to have the homeowners wait until we can resolve this matter with the manufacturer. The homeowner has suffered damages, cannot collect on a homeowner1s insurance policy and would expend a considerable amount of money in trying to collect from the manufacturer. For your information, the City has a $5000 deductible on property damage claims so we would have to pay these damages out of City funds. ./!~ .

Your comments and those of other cities and interested parties will be studied and used in our process for preparing the final plan. When the staff has prepared a response to all the comments received, we send a copy to you before the Council's Systems Committee deliberates on the staff proposed changes. I would like to reassure you now, however, about your concern regarding growth projections for stillwater and the design of the stillwater Wastewater Treatment Plant. The staff tells me that the figures sent to the City on Feb. 29, 1988, will be used in designing the plant capacity. As for the year 2010 forecast, this is a very rough, but necessary, attempt at portraying what might be for the purpose of metropolitan system development. Official Council population, household and employment forecasts will be prepared in approximately five years when the results of the 1990 Census are available to us. The Council will then revise its Metropolitan Development and Investment Framework; after which local units of government will be asked to review their own plans. You should also note that the Wastewater Policy Plan will be reviewed and revised, if necessary, every five years. If you or your staff have al1yiur~her questions, feel free to contact James Frost, Council staff at 291-6519. Sincerely, ~~f~4- Chair SK:mj:sa An Equal Opportunity Employer . . . .. r illvYater ~ - -------~ THE BIRTHPLACE OF MINNESOTA ~ May 16, 1988 Mr. Steve Keefe, Chairman Metropolitan Council 300 Metro Square Building Seventh and Robert Streets St. Paul, MN 55101 Dear Chairman Keefe and Commission Members: Re: Comments on Wastewater Policy Plan. The City of Stillwater has reviewed the Wastewater Policy Plan and offer the following comments for Metropolitan Council review. The City of Stillwater is supportive of the regional concept for sewer service but'want to ensure that Stillwater1s specific concerns are addressed in that regional approach. \ Concerns identified in reviewing the Wastewater Policy Plan are in two areas; growth projections and service capacity and infiltration and inflow (1/1). The Wastewater Policy Plan, on page 31, discusses development and delivery of sewer service issues. The section describes the close relationship between the Development and Investment Framework and Wastewater Policy Plan. The framework provides the guiding direction and the Wastewater Policy plan implements the framework. Here is where Stillwater's problem lies. The Development and Investment Framework forecasts a Stillwater population of 13,200 in 1990 and 13,300 in 2000. The Wastewater Policy Plan extends the forecasts to 2010, 14,500. These figures are very low. The 1988 Stillwater population estimate of 13,800 is equivalent to the Metropolitan Council forecast for Stillwater population in 2005. This is of particular concern at this time because plans are being drawn for the early 1990's expansion of. the Stillwater wastewater treatment facility. It is very possible that if existing Metropolitan Council forecasts are used, inadequate capacity will be availableJor'growth. Bes i des the sewer capacity issue, the method used to develop the 2010 forecast is of concern. The City of Stillwater is not aware of having the opportunity to comment on~the 2010-figures similar to the extensive public input and participation process recently completed for the Development.,and -Investment Framework.~ The -2010 'growth figures~are~,important becauseothey are used as a basis to size sewer 'services and in effect;~extend the City~sComprehensive Plan ten years. As described in other Metropolitan Council documents, cities will be required to change local comprehensive sewer:'plans'to,conform with De ve 10 pme n t F r amewor k and Wastewater Pol icy Plan documents :-iJhe 2010 fi gures , in effect, amend local~comprehensive plans without adeq~ate~6pportunity for local government review and comment.
