CONTINUATION PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEW - CASE NO. SUB/88-53 Planning Commission Meeting: October 10, 1988 Project Location: Property between Elm Street and the South end of North Broadway. Comprehensive Plan District: Two Family Zoning District: RB Applicants Name: Karl E. Neumeier Type of Application: Minor Subdivision Project Description: The project is to subdivide Lot 23, a 47,800 square foot lot into two lots; Lot A with 23,050 square feet and Lot B with 24,750 square feet. Discussion: The property is located off the South end of North Broadway and is bounded by North First Street on the West, vacated Aspen Street right-of-way on the North and Elm Street on the South. The site overlooks the old prison. . Acce~s to the site is provided off of North Broadway. It would be practically difficult to gain access from First Street for Lot B. An easement is proposed over Lot A to provide access to Lot B off of Broadway. The Subdivision ordinance requires all lots have access to a public street. The lots are steeply sloped. The topographic maps for the area show a thirty foot drop in elevation from the Northeast to Southwest and a fifty foot drop in elevation for Lot B. The Zoning Ordinance requires that for the lots to be subdivided, 10,000 square feet of lot area per lot must be in slopes less than 30%. Sewer service is available in North First Street but it would be very difficult to get to because of ground conditions and the slope of the land. The Water Department indicated an on-site system would be required to have water on the site. It may be possible to build on the two lots. Mr. Neumeier will present new information he has collected at the meeting. Recommendation: Denial. Findings: The request is not consistent with lot size and road access requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. . Attachment: - Letter from Mr. Neumeier, dated October 4, 1988 - New plans showing sewer easement and additional information on elevation change. . . . PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: De n i a 1 . FINDING: The lot is too steep to accommodate two lots and there is no direct access to a public street. KARL. E. NEUMEIER . 268 B LANDING HILL SOMERSET.

V/88-57 Planning Commission Meeting: October 10, 1988 Project Location: 108 South Sixth Street. Zoning District: RCM, Medium Density Multiple Family Residential District. Applicant's Name: Julia Crumley Type of Application: Variance PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Variance request to the sideyard setback requirement at 108 South Sixth Street (two feet ten inches proposed, five feet required) for a single car garage approximately six feet by ten feet. DISCUSSION: The request is for a two ft. two inch variance for a garage which has already been constructed. The garage was constructed this past summer without properly locating the property lines. According to Ms. Crumley, the garage was constructed approximately two feet ten inches from the property line. The neighbors may not agree to this, therefore, an accurate survey may reveal the proper location of the property line. CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL. 1. An accurate survey of the property be submitted to the Planning Department before construction resumes. RECOMMENDATION: Approval for the two foot, two inch variance request. FINDINGS: The garage is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Zoning Ordinance and will not be injurious to the neighborhood. ATTACHMENTS: - Site plan of garage.

Penney Store at the River Heights Plaza. . DISCUSSION: The request is for the placement of a J.C. Penney sign at the River Heights Plaza. This sign is a two line sign and is a uniform sign to other J.C. Penney catalog stores throughout the country. As part of this variance and sign plan for River Heights Plaza, a single line sign with a twenty-four inch requirement was established. The new sign will have two rows consisting of "J.C. Penney" at 24 inches and "Catalog Store" at one foot, six inches. this sign is therefore much larger than other-signs at River Heights Plaza. However, as stated by Tom Jensen, operations manager for J.C. Penney, the catalog store needs to be defined in order to distinguish it from J.C. Penney Department Stores. CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL: 1. The sign will not disrupt the appearance of River Heights Plaza in any way. 2. This variance request is considered a special situation, therefore future signs must meet the sign plan established for River Heights Plaza by the City of Stillwater. RECOMMENDATION: Approval. FINDINGS: The granting of the variance will be in harmony with the general purpose and intent of this Ordinance and Sign Plan for River Heights Plaza. ATTACHMENTS: - Plan showing location of J.C.

C. Penney River Heights Plaza Stillwater, Minnesota Dear Mr. Russell: Enclosed is the application for the Planning Administration and the City Council to allow a variance to J. C. Penney Company and allow them to mount their exterior sign, "JCPenney Catalog Store" in two rows per the proposed plan. The landlord has approved the request based on the following reasons: I) It is necessary to distinguish the catalog store from a regular Penney's department store because of the vast differences in operation. Customers must know prior to entering the catalog store that it is not a department store, otherwise it will create dissatisfaction and may discourage their intent to purchase merchandise or services at River Heights Plaza. 2) The design of the Grid II Section in which the J. C. Penney Catalog Store is located does not allow the sign to be extended in a single line of 2' X 24' due to the peaked double column separating the sign area. Thus, the only logical position for the sign is the one proposed. 3) The sign will not disrupt the appearance of River Heights Plaza in any way. 4) This variance request is considered a special situation. The landlord does not intend for this variance to set a general precedent., Mr. Russell, this matter has been given serious consideration by the . . . Mr. Steve Russell Planning Administration City Hall September 13, 1988 Page Two landlord, and we strongly believe that allowing this variance for J. C. Penney Company is in the best interests of all parties involved. I have enclosed a copy of a letter from Tom Jensen, the operations manager of J. C. Penney Company, requesting the variance.

September 9, 1988 Ken Vinje 8300 Norman Center Drive Suite 870 Bloomington, MN 55437 Dear Ken: We would like to request that you take the necessary steps in obtaining a variance from the sign ordinance for our store in River Heights Plaza. . A two-line sign is very much needed for our store for two major reasons. First, the need to have our store look like other JCPenney Catalog Stores. In a nation-wide company, such as ours, a logo that is identical to the rest of our stores is necessary to capitalize on the large investment we have in advertising and making our sign a recognizable name, one that is associated with the goodwill 'our company has gained over the years. Second, we must distinguish between a JCPenney Store and a JCPenney Catalog Store. The difference between our store in Rose- dale, at 200,000 square feet, and our store in River Heights Plaza, at 2500 square feet, is obvious yet we must explain that difference to our customers everyday. We feel that we owe them a self-explanatory sign that tells them exactly what we are: JCPenney Catalog Store. Thank you for your help. Best regards, ~~ Tom Jensen Operations Manager TJ/gb .

SUP/V/88-59 Planning Commission Meeting: October 10, 1988 Project Location: 1112 South Second Street Applicant1s Name: Corey Mohan and Andrea L. Tipple Type of Application: Variance and Special Use Permit Project Description: A variance for the construction of a woodworking shop and a Special Use Permit to conduct a "woodworking business" for musical instruments. Discussion: . The request is to construct the second floor of an existing garage into a "woodworking shop" for musical instruments, mainly string'ed musical instruments, violins and guitars. The business will be conducted by contract- ing out of music shops. Mr. Mohan will pick up the musical instruments from music shops, repair them and return them. There will be no additional traffic or parking created by this business. Mr. Mohan will also not be advertising his business nor placing any type of sign on his property. The Fire Department has been notified for Fire Code requirements and will be notified as to the construction of the woodworking shop and to the disposal of waste materials. CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL 1. The Fire Department shall review all Fire Codes as to the construction of the woodworking shop. 2. The Fire Department shall review the disposal of wastes created by the woodworking business. 3. No sign shall be permitted. 4. No additional traffic or parking will be created by the business. 5. This permit will be reviewed by the Planning Commission on a complaint basis. 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.

Planning Commission Recommendation: Approval as conditioned. ." . . September 19, 1988 Stillwater Planning Commission City of Stillwater 216 North Fourth Street Stillwater, Minnesota, 55082 and Council Dear Members of the Planning Commission and Council: We are applying for a variance and special use permit for our property at 1112 South Second Street, Stillwater. Enclosed are the following: the completed Planning Administrative Form; a sketch of our property, including preexisting structures; a letter of description of the proposed changes in our garage; current photographs of the garage; and a petition of approval signed by all immediate neighbors who we were able to contact prior to submitting this application. We hope to improve the attic of the garage, making it suitable for a private workshop. These improvements will not significantly alter the appearance of the garage. We primarily want to develope a hobby woodworking area in the garage attic. This would be similar to woodworking shops present in many residential basements and garages. In addition, Corey Mohan would like to use the garage woodworking area for the repair of stringed musical instruments, especially violins and acoustic guitars. The musical instrument repair mainly involves the use of hand tools, but the use of power tools sometimes becomes necessary. These power tools include, a drill press, sander, and tabletop saw. Corey would like to repair instruments for his own use, and also those instruments of a limited number of clients arranged through a local music shop. These clients would not come to our home, but rather, Corey would pick up the musical instruments at the music shop, and return them when the repairs were completed. Therefore, the musical instrument repair would not increase the number of people entering the neighborhood, and in no way would involve a retail business endeavor at this address. Also, we do not intend to place a sign advertising this small business. In closing, we want to stress that this home workshop would not disturb the residential quality of the neighborhood. We have attempted to contact all neighbors living within 300 feet of our home, and explain our proposal. All neighbors we were able to reach prior to submitting this application, understood and approved of our plans. These neighbors were willing to sign the enclosed petition. Thank you for considering this application for a variance and special use permit. Sincerely, Corey C. Mohan <~ /foL- c;:/ Andrea L. TiPPle~~, L- ,.. Tf~lp 1112 South Second Street Stillwater, Minnesota 55082 . . . DESCRIPTION OF GARAGE AND PROPOSED CHANGES AT 1112 SOUTH SECOND STREET, STILLWATER The building in question is a two car garage with a large attic space. The garage base measures 22 by 28 feet. The attic floor, excluding the north stairs, measures approximately 16 by 26 feet, with an apex height of 11 feet. Prior to our purchase of the property in December, 1987, the garage attic was used for storage. The attic is accessed by stairs at the north end of the structure. The attic wall~ere lined by shelving, and a sbrage closet was present in the northeast corner of the garage attic, adjacent to the stairs. The electrical supply to the garage originates from the main circuitbox in the house. The house was built in approximately 1875, but the garage is a more recent structure built sometime prior to 1926. Prior to our understanding of proper procedures for initiating this type of project, we began some improvements. We stopped all work at this time, pending evaluation by the Planning Commission and Council. Pending approval, the completed improvements would include; upgrading the electrical system, especially removing overhead exposed wires; insulating; placement of a multi- laminate beam to improve support of the floor; placement of additional roof rafters; roof replacement; placement of a south wall diamond shaped window and north wall window to improve ventilation and light; and placement of roof eave vents. When the roof is replaced, we hope to place three east facing roof windows. Additionally, the interior would be finished in sheetrock and the storage closet rebuilt. Heat would be supplied by electric baseboard units. The exterior woud be repainted, and a cupola rebuilt and placed at the garage apex. This cupola would be a reproduction of the original noted in a photograph from 1926. . .

V/88-61 Planning Commission Meeting: October 10, 1988 Project Location: 515 South Broadway Zoning District: RB Comprehensive Plan District: Residential Duplex App1icantls Name: Thomas J. Nammacher Type of Application: Variance Section(s): Sideyard & Rearyard PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Variance to the rearyard and sideyard setback requirement '(three feet sideyard proposed, ten feet sideyard required, three ft. rearyard proposed, twenty-five ft. rearyard required. DISCUSSION: The request is for a seven ft. sideyard variance and a twenty-two ft. rearyard variance. The reason for these variances is because of the irregular shaped lot. The Minnesota Department of Transportation owns Lot 4, leaving the lot much deeper on the South side. The proposed site shows the driveway entrance being moved to the center of the lot. The front and south side of the lot would be filled with the existing garage being accessed from the north side. The residence has three levels, basement, first level, second level and the attic level under the roof will be used for storage. Adjacent homes on either side uf Lots 22 and 23 are setback from the front property line the same amount. (See aerial photo.) Mr. Nammacher feels that the location and design of this home will fit into the character of the surrounding areas. There are no other homes or structures located within thirty feet of the proposed home. There is concern over the setback from the bluff edge. Drainage studies, soil testing, and erosion measures should be conducted in this area before construction of the home. The house viewed from Broadway will be thirty-eight feet tall (with a regulated height of twenty-nine feet three inches). The height limit in the R-B District is thirty-five feet. The East (river) elevation shows a building height of forty-five feet three inches. CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL 1. All roof drainage shall be contained on site and not run over the cliff edge. 2. The rear yard shall be landscaped before project occupancy. 3. The height of the structure shall be thirty five (35) feet and 2 1/2 stories. . . . ~ 4. A resubdivision application shall be approved for adding Lot 5, Block 42 to Lots 22 and 23, Block 42. 5. The old curb cut shall be replaced with curbing. RECOMMENDATION: Determination of request. FINDINGS The granting of the variance will be in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Ordinance and will not be injurious to the neighborhood or otherwise detrimental to public welfare.

Please accept this letter as a request for a rear yard set-back variance on our lot located at 515 Broadway South, Stillwater, in accordance with the enclosed site plan. Upon approval, we plan to build an "1890 Victorian style" hOlCLe on the bluff overlooking the St. Croix River. This request is required because our lot has an irregular shape. On the east side along the bluff, the lot line steps back leaving approximately 50 feet between the edge of the bluff and our lot line. Tt!e Department of Transporation owns this odd piece of land. Upon checking with the D.O. T., we find they do not have any requirements tt~t would effect this variance. We propose to build our new home so that it is roughly in line with the existing homes on either side. Note, that the home to the north, on lot 24, is located within several feet of its lot line. Great care has been taken to design a home tt~t fits in with the character of the surrounding area. The addition of our home to the neigtmorhood should have a positive effect and be an asset to the com.m.uni ty. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, (j; Tliomas J.

V/88-62 Planning Commission Meeting: October 10, 1988 Project Location: 210 East Walnut Street Comprehensive Plan District: Multiple Family Residential Zoning District: RCM Applicant's Name: Robert and Julie Jansen Type of Application: Variance PROJECT DESCRIPTION: A variance to the sideyard and rearyard setback requireme~ts for the construction of a 20 ft. x 24 ft. garage. DISCUSSION: The request is to construct a 20 ft. x 24 ft. garage with a sideyard setback of approximately three ft., from the property line and a rearyard setback of approximately four feet. ~he sideyard setback requirement is ten feet and the rearyard setback is twenty\five feet. Therefore, the two variances needed are a seven foot sideyard variance and a twenty one foot rearyard variance. The location of this new garage is proposed because of the location of the house and driveway on the property. The home is quite large for the size of the property, leaving a minimal amount of area for a garage. Also, a concrete driveway presently exists on the West side of the property which will provide access to the garage. The placement of the garage in the Northwest corner will give easy access for cars. If it was shifted East, it would be difficult for cars to get into the garage. The neighbors garage is approximately oe foot West of the side property line. CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL: 1. The West wall will be one hour fire rated (as per Building Code requirement). 2. Run-off from the roof will not drain on to adjacent properties. RECOMMENDATION: Approval. FINDINGS For reasons set forth fully in the discussion, the granting of the variance is necessary for the reasonable use of the land and building and that the same is the minimum variance that will accomplish such purpose.

PLANNING APPLICATION REVIEW CASE NO. SUP/88-60 Planning Commission Meeting: October 10, 1988 Project Location: 431 East Nelson Street just South of Dock Cafe Restaurant and East of South Main Parking Lot. Comprehensive Plan District: Downtown Commercial Zoning District: Residential Duplex - RB, Flood Plain, Bluffland/Shoreland Applicant: City of Stillwater Type of Application: Special Use Permit BACKGROUND This application by the City of Stillwater will be the basis for amending permits 82-242-12 and 85-415-23 issued by the U.S. Corps of Engineers and permit 82-6124 as amended issued by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. The current application includes both on land and in water use and improvements. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: In-water improvements includes two docks, one for charter/excursion boats currently located to the North and one accommodating approximately 25 boats, public transient boats currently located to the South. Three excursion boats and a ~arge ticket office are moored at the North docks. The new plan includes flip-flopping the docks (the charter/excursion docks moved to the South and public docks moved to the North), allowing the excursion boats to be moored to the dock year around and boats staying at the public docks for as long as two weeks. The docks size and configuration would be the same. Besides the in-water improvements, on-land improvements are proposed to tie pathways into Lowell Park and the South Main parking lot, provide additional parking to serve the boats and trash receptacle area. (Existing conditions are shown on the aerial photo and the new dock location and land improvements are shown on Map No.1.) .,.~~~;~~~~~~~~~~~ , i WOO( , StJOeET t.m..

DOWNTOWN PLAN The Downtown Plan for the area (Map 2) includes a design for the area similar to the proposed project. The Downtown Plan Pedestrian Circulation Map shows a landscaped pedestrian pathway running along the river to a boating plaza and back to Nelson Street and also connection to a future visitors center. The Plaza would be a place where people could pause to overlook boating activitys await boarding or be introduced to the Downtown. Design elements could include landscapings interpretive displays seating and possibly drinking fountains and City directory to accommodate visiting boaters. The boating and activity creates parking demands. As part of the Downtown Plan parking conditions in the South Main Street area (Area 1) were studied. Table 1 compares parking needs to parking supply. The study shows that there is a 150 to 200 car parking deficit in Area 1. The Andiamo excursion boat has an estimated parking demand of 50 parking spaces. The public docks have minimal parking impact. As a part of the Downtown Plans expansion of the South Main Street City lot was considered and a conceptual plan developed to accommodate an additional 30 parking spaces. (See new parking area map.) Based on the need for South Main Street parkings it is suggested that the addition of 30 additional parking spaces be considered along with on-site pathway and plaza improvements. The improvements could be funded by new uses in the area based on parking demand. (This was previously done to finance the existing South Main lot.) SPECIAL USE PERMIT A Special Use Permit is required for the new project because the docks are located in the Flood Plain District. The Bluffland/Shoreland District contains standards for on land improvements including: - use is consistent and complimentary to existing and adjacent urban land uses and local plans. - a parking layout and site plan which provides on-site and off-street parking spaces for all employees and customers as required by local ordinance is required. - a drainage plan to minimize erosion. - a landscaped plan to minimize the visual impact of the project as viewed from the river. - no signs facing the river. PROJECT ANALYSIS The charter/excursion boat use and public docks are uses consistent with and complimentary to the Downtown. The parking and economic studies of the Downtown Plan indicate that the dock uses support other uses Downtown. The Downtown Plan includes linking the City lands South of the Dock Cafe with Lowell Park so park users can view and enjoy the boating activities and excursion boat users can easily get to other parts of Downtown. A detailed plan for the on-land improvementss pedestrian paths landscaping plans development parkings land utilities areas should be developed so that the improvements can be coordinated with other Lowell Park improvements. . The additional parking spaces that can be added to the South parking lot, should be provided as soon as possible so the parking situation can be eased. Area new development share in the responsibility for additional demand including the Dock Cafe, Freighthouse, future elevator development and the Andiamo. In a letter to the City Council, the Stillwater Dock Company outlined terms for moving the docks (attached). It is suggested that the terms be accepted and that a five year commitment to this dock configuration including pathway and parking improvements be given. RECOMMENDATION Approval of the Dock location and on-land improvements as conditions with the following findings: 1. The project will not adversely affect the flood capacity or flow of the St. Croix River. 2. The project as conditioned will meet the Bluffland/Shoreland District standards. \ 3. The proposed project is consistent with and complimentary to existing adjacent development and the City Plan. CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL . 1. On-land walkway, landscaping, utility and parking area requirements shall be made consistent with the Downtown Plan. - 2. The South parking lot shall be expanded to accommodate 30 additional parking spaces. 3. The City shall enter into an agreement with the Stillwater Dock Company to grant a five year lease, renewable for an additional five years for use of City land to provide access to docks with parking and City lands improvements paid in part by the Stillwater Dock Company/St. Croix Packet Company. 4. Other terms as described in the project. Descriptive letter dated September 6, 1988 by Nile Kriesel shall be met. 5.

Charter Boat Operations It has become apparent that a problem exists with the manner in which our charter boat docks are located and operated. The problem, as we see it, is the close proximity of the dock to the Dock Cafe, seemingly interfering with Dock Cafe operations. We propose to alleviate this problem in the following manner: 1. St. Croix Paket Co. would purchase the charter dock and electrical service from the Stillwater Dock Co. 2. Move the charter dock and the public dock lAW a plan submitted to the port authority on April 13, 1988. All expenses to be borne by St. Croix Packet Boat Co. 3. Request a 5 year lease be granted St. Croix Packet Co to operate on city property at location prescribed in the plan. 4. Work with City of Stillwater in response to questions raised by DNR LTR and DTD April 22, 1988. We feel the charter/excursion boat operations conducted by St. Croix Packet Boat Co are important to Stillwater and the community and every effort should be made to find them a "home port" that will ensure continued operations. We respectfully request that our 1988 wharfage permit be granted on the basis of the Port Authority recommendation per our April 13, 1988 meeting. We further request that this plan be conceptually approved and work started to implement this plan. Landscaping indicated in the plan would be implemented immediately while the actual moving of the docks would take place no later than October 15, 1988.

The City is applying for separate permits for each facility. The dock~ are presently in place ~nd in operation pursuant to permit No. 82-6124. However, the City ,would, through the permit process, seek approval to re-locate the docks. The relocation would merely involve placing the charter/excursion docks in the present location of the general boating docks and vice-versa. . In addition to the request to relocate the docks, the City is asking for specific approval to: 1. Moor up to three (3) charter/excursion boats and one (1) floating ticket office vessel at the charter/excursion dock facility; 2. Allow year-round docking for the charter/excursion boats; 3. Allow "chartered" cruises to be the primary business of the charter/excursion boat operations as long as "walk-on" trade is accommodated on a regularly scheduled basis; 4. Allow docking in excess of twenty-four (24) hours on the general boat dock facility to accommodate boaters that make long range trips to Stillwater and who intend to stay in the area for an extended period of time (one weekend to two weeks); 5. Allow a small structure to exist on the general boat dock facility tp provide shelter for the dock operators (boat handlers); and 6.

Thank you for sending us copies of the meeting notices and permit applications. I have the following comments as staff for the Minnesota-Wisconsin Boundary Area Commission: Please be advised that I have no objection to the "flip-floppinglt of the dock locations' under separate permit applications by the City. I have a couple of concerns about the particular requests, however, in terms of compatibility with the Riverway zoning standards and Lower St. Croix River Management Commission policy: - 1. We are concerned about the inclusion of a structure (the small shelter) on the transient dock. This appears to be the placement of a visually conspicuous structure (although floating) within the Riverway. 2. While transient docks certainly could be used for more 24 hours by any party - we suggest they not be given a reservation in excess of 24 hours and they be required to pay on a daily basis - to avoid the transient docks being construed as a marina. . 3. Is the floating ticket office a vessel or a structure floating on the water? We would advise clarification from the DNR about the acceptability of this request. . page 2 Nile Kriesel " As you know, the Policy!Resolution of the Lower St. Croix Management Commission e*courages 'charter vessels as a way for more people to experienqe the Riverway. We support your efforts to provide this opportu,ity and we appreciate your efforts (this proposal and others) tOlimprove the riverfront in Stillwater.

October 26, 1988 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Since the October 10,1988 Commission meeting, the attached information has been received regarding the dock relocation and improvement project: SUP/S8-60. The application is presented for Council review and decision. Any decision by the City will be subject to Corp of Engineers and DNR approval as stated in Conditions of Approval #5. . . . . . r illwater ~ - - ~ --- ~ THE BIRTHPLACE OF MINNESOTA J TO: FR: DA: Mayor and City Council City Coordi nator October 28, 1988 RE: TIMING OF DOCK RELOCATION PERMIT APPLICATION \ Apparently some questions were raised during the Planning Commission's review of Case No. SUP/88-60 (relocation of the general and charter/excursion boat docks) regarding the timeliness of the City's submittal to the permit application to the Army Corp of Engineers. The inference was that the docks could or should have been moved by October 15, 1988, as required by the City's permit issued to Stillwater Dock Company of May 3, 1988. In view of this, I thought it would be appropriate to prepare a chronology of events related to the permit application to show what has transpired since the first meeting and discussion of this issue. I think the chronology of events disclose that the City (or City Coordinator, as the case may be) acted as quickly as events or conditions would allow. The docks could not be relocated without U.S. Army Corp of Engineers approval, and it was that agency that requested a meeting on the issue of relocating the docks before the permit process would begin. The submittal of a permit application prior to this meeting would have been counter productive or at 1 east premature. I realize that it took some time to meet with the Corp of Engineers. However, we met at the time and convenience of the Corp of Engineers - we do not set their schedules. Once the aforementioned meeting took place, we also acted as quickly as possible. The actual permit application took place one day after the council met to give approval to the application (September 7, 1988). The Corp has not yet issued the permit. Therefore, the docks cannot be moved at this time - regardless of the conditions specified in the ~ issued permit.

The City would like to amend the permit to allow the following: 1. General Boating Dock Permit a. to place dock where charter/excursion dock is now located; b. to place a small shelter on the dock; c. to have short-term docking (24 hours or less) with occasional weekend docking (72 hours or less) and a limited number of medium- term docking (2 weeks or less). Seasonal or long-term docking would not be allowed. 2. Charter/Excursion Boating Dock Permit a. to place dock where general boating dock is now located; b. to provide mooring for three (3) charter/excursion boats and one (1) floating ticket office vessel; c. to allow year-round docking; and d. to allow "chartered" cruises to be the primary business as long as "walk on" excursion trade is accommodated on a regularly scheduled basis. CITY HALL: 216 NORTH FOURTH STILLWATER. MINNESOTA 55082 PHONE: 612-439-6121 Per our telephone conversation! on October 20th, I believe that it would be less confusing to have a separate permit with separate conditions issued for each dock and to have each per~it issued to the City.

The City should submit a formal permit amendment request letter to relocate the municipal dock and to request that the municipal (transient) dock be the only dock authorized under the city's permit. The amendment fee is $30.00, payable to the DNR. Any other proposed permit modifications should be made at the same time. A letter similar to your September 6, 1988 letter to the Army Corps of Engineers is all that would be required to amend your existing permit. We feel that two (2) separate permits are necessary for these two docking facilities. 2. The leasee of the property for the Andiamo should apply for their own permit. We will send them the appropriate permit application forms. 3. We would have no objection to the issuance of the conditional use permit amendments to relocate the docks~ once the permit issues are straightened out.

Steve Russell presented the application for the City. Mr. Russell explained that this spring th'e Stillwater Port Authority, in the course of renewing the dock permit for the stillwater Dock Company, was made aware of problems caused by the present location of the Andiamo boat dock. After several meetings, it was determined by the parties involved that the appropriate solution to the problem would be to ,switch the Andiamo boat dock location with that of the transient boat docks. John Easton, partner in the Stillwater Dock Company, addressed the Commission and stated that the costs involved in switching the docks are estimated at $20,000 to $25,000, and that the costs would be borne by the st. Croix Boat and Packet Company, which leases the dock for the Andiamo. He explained that he recen~ly learned that the st. Croix Boat and Packet Company is no longer willing to pay those costs. Mr. Easton feels that this expense is not justified for what he feels is a temporary solution to the problem. He stated that when the City reacquires the Aiple property, a long-term solution may be reached, and this would cause the docks to be moved once again. Mike McGuire, owner of the Dock Cafe, addressed the Commission, and explained that the dock permits were issued based upon the agreement that the docks would be relocated by October 15. Chairman Fontaine stated that he feels the agreement should be adhered to. Mr. Easton stated that a less costly solution would be to move the Andiamo docks to another location and leave' the transient docks where they are. Mr. Russell stated that at this time, the City must take a position, and report to the Corp of Engineers. The Corp will not take action until the City states its position. Mark Ehlenz made a motion to approve the Special Use Permit, based upon the verbal agreement made in April; seconded by Judy Curtis. Motion carried 4-2; Nancy Putz and Glenna Bealka opposed. 3 . . . The additional parking spaces that can be added to the South parking lot, should be provided as soon as possible so the parking situation can be eased. Area new development share in the responsibility for additional demand including the Oock Cafe, Freighthouse, future elevator development and the Andiamo. In a letter to the City Council, the Stillwater Dock Company outlined terms for moving the docks (attached). It is suggested that the terms be accepted and that a five year commitment to this dock configuration including pathway and parking improvements be given. RECOMMENDATION Approval of the Dock location and on-land improvements as conditions with the following findings: 1. The project will not adversely affect the flood capacity or flow of the St. Croix River. 2. The project as conditioned will meet the Bluffland/Shoreland District standards. 3.

This non-compliance was the subject of our previous letter dated May 12, 1988. In an attempt to resolve this matter, the City indicated that they would like to submit revised plans to our office showing the proposed new location of the docking structures. After evaluating this information, the District~ngineer has decided that .. legal action will presently be initiated in this matter. Instead, you will provided an opportunity to obtain a Department of the Army permit for these non-compliance activities. The af~er-the-fact permit process provides for a more comprehensi~e assessment of your project and will result in a final determination of whether or not your project satisfies the public interest criteria of the Corps regulatory program. If the after-the-fact permit application is approved, your project will be duly authorized and our investigation file will be closed. If, however, your project is determined not to be in the public interest and the after-the- fact permit application is denied, the District Engineer is authorized to prescribe any corrective actions deemed necessary with regard to these non- compliance activities, including restoration, and to reconsider whether civil and/or criminal sanctions are appropriate. Enclosed is the required permit application, which -must- be completed. and returned to this office within 30 days from receipt of this letter. . ~coro g~ ?' .

MINNESOTA 55101-1479 12 MAY 19a~ REPLY TO "TTENT10N OF Construction-Operations Regulatory Functions (VF88-24-90) '.\ Mr. Nile Kriesel City Coordinator City of Stillwater 216 North 4th Street Stillwater, Minnesota 55082 RE: CITY OF STILLWATER PERMIT (82-242-l2), STILLWATER DOCK COMPANY PERMIT (85-415-23) Dear Mr. Kriesel: . Our office recently received several complaints regarding the docking facilities located in the St. Croix River in the City of Stillwater. The Corps of Engineers issued two permits for the construction of docks in this area. Department of the Army permit 82- 242-l2, issued on May 18, 1982, authorized the construction of a dock at this location. Special condition 2 of this permit states that If no shed or like structure will be placed on the dock If. During an inspection of the dock on April 2l, 1988, it"was noted that a structure was placed on this dock in non-compliance with special condition 2 of that permit. We also inspected the dock authorized on May 8, 1985 by Department of the Army permit 85-4l5~23. Special condition 2 of that permit also states that no structure shall be constructed on the dock. During our inspection, it was noted that a permanently moored barge with a structure on it was moored adjacent to the dock. This permanently moored structure requires permit pursuant to Sec tion 10 of the River and Harbor Ac t. Since no permit has been issued for this structure, it is in violation of that Act. In addition, there are several other concerns regarding compliance with the following special conditions of permit 85-415-23: 3. There shall be contractual assurance that the dock will be used for public cruises. 4. All operators using the dock will be fully licensed. 6. The dock shall not be used by private charter craft for seasonal moorage. Such craft shall use the dock only for loading and unloading of passengers and shall not be moored at the dock overnight. -. It appears that private charter boats are using this dock on a permanent basis in violation of special condition 6. Also, concerns have ~r:.- 0~ "\ ~ / -2- been expressed that these 1harter boats are not used for public cruises and that operators are no~ fully licensed. Any information you can provide regarding these iss~es would be appreciated. It appears that a meeting with all interested parties is necessary to discuss this matter and Idetermine the appropriate course of action to resolve these issues. It! should be noted that a public notice with review from all commenting agencies may be required for any permit modifications. . You should contact ~rian Watson at (612) 220-0380 or Henrik Strandskov of this office a~ (612-220-0359). ! ours, ,([ Ben Wopat I J.i?

Kriesel City Coordinator 216 North 4th Street Stillwater, Minnesota 55082 RE: Dock Relocation and Charter Dock Facilities Dear Mr. Kriesel: I have been following the communications and notices to and from the City of Stillwater regarding the proposed relocation of the City transient docks and the charter boat docks (switch locations), and the permit applications for these items. Thank you for sending us copies of the meeting notices and permit applications. I have the following comments as staff for the Minnesota-Wisconsin Boundary Area Commission: Please be advised that I have no objection to the "flip-flopping" of the dock locations cinder separate permit applications by the City. I have a couple of concerns about the particular requests, however, in terms of compatibility with the Riverway zoning standards and Lower St. Croix River Management Commission policy: 1. We are concerned about the inclusion of a structure (the small shelter) on the transient dock. This appears to be the placement of, a visually conspicuous structure (although floating) within the Riverway. 2. While transient docks certainly could be used for more 24 hours by any party - we suggest they not be given a reservation in excess of 24 hours and they be required to pay on a daily basis - to avoid the transient docks being construed as a marina. 3. Is the floating ticket office a vessel or a structure floating on the water? We would advise clarification from the DNR about the acceptability of this request. ~<o ~ '1/0 cP' ~ , ..... . page 2 Nile Kriesel As you know, the Policy Resolution of the Lower St. Croix Management Commission encourages 'charter vessels as a way for more people to experience the Riverway. We support your efforts to provide this opportunity and we appreciate your efforts (this proposal and others) to improve the riverfront in Stillwater. Please call me if you have any questions on the matter.

All in favor. PUBLIC HEARINGS Case No. SUP/88-54 - Special Use Permit to conduct a secretarial service in a residential home. Leanne and John Gillstrom presented the request. Mrs. Gillstrom explained that the business will be very "low- key". Advertising will be by word-of-mouth, and she will pick up and deliver materials, so there will be no excess traffic in the neighborhood. There were no comments from audience members; and the Commission could find no problem with the request. Motion by Mark Ehlenz to approve the Special Use Permit; seconded by Judy Curtis. Motion carried 6-0. Case No. SUB/88-53 - Continuation of a request to subdivide a 47,800 square foot lot into two lots. Karl Neumeier, property owner, presented the request. Mr. Neumeier has reoriented the lot lines and changed the square footage of the lots to make lot B buildable. Lot A now has 15,000 square feet and Lot B has 29,000 square feet. His new plans show the elevation lines and proposed sewer easement for the lots. Road access to Lot B would be provided by an easement across Lot A. A neighbor of Mr. Neumeier, Brian Palmer, asked what square footage of Lot A has a greater than 30% slope. Mr. Russell answered that, based on the topographical maps, approximately 6,000 square feet has a greater than 30% slope which would leave 1 Planning Commission Minutes October 10, 1988 less than the 10,000 square feet required by the Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Neumeier stated that the amount of square footage with a greater than 30% slope is inconsequential because it is a dip in the property that could be filled in after the basement is dug. I The Commissioners dete~mined that Lot A does not meet the Zoning Ordinance and discussed whether a modification of the Ordinance is justified in thisl case. Mr. Kimble stated that the case could be determined a hardship because of the topography of Lot B. The expense of installing sewer lines would be excessive in relation to only one home being built on the lot. Mr. Russell stated that there may be enough square footage to install a septic system if it remains as one lot. Mark Ehlenz made a motion to deny the subdivision request. Nancy Putz seconded. Motion: to deny carr ied 5-1; Jay Kimble opposed. : Case No. V/88-57 - R~quest for a 2 foot, 2 inch variance sideyard setback reqUirement at 108 South Sixth Street for single care garage.

Ken Vinje, Property Administrator, and Tammy Gannon, Mall Manager, presented the request. i The request is for a tlo line sign: "J C Penney Catalog Store". The sign is requested in order to distinguish the catalog store from the department store. There were no objections from the audience. The Commi sioners determined that the variance is justified in this case because the sign is needed to clarify that this is a catalog stor~.

Case No. SUP/SS-60 - Special Use Permit for the relocation of the transient boat docks and the Andiamo boat dock. City of Stillwater, applicant. Steve Russell presented the application for the City. Mr. Russell explained that this spring the Stillwater Port Authority, in the course of renewing the dock permit for the Stillwater Dock Company, was made, aware of problems caused by the present location of the Andiamo boat dock. After several meetings, it was determined by the parties involved that the appropriate solution to the problem would be to switch the Andiamo boat dock location with that of the transient boat docks. . John Easton, partner in the Stillwater Dock Company, addressed the Commission and stated that the costs involved in switching the docks are estimated at $20,000 to $25,000, and that the costs would be borne by the st. Croix Boat and Packet Company, which leases the dock for the Andiamo. He explained that he recen~ly learned that the st. Croix Boat and Packet Company is no longer willing to pay those costs. Mr. Easton feels that this expense is not justified for what he feels is a temporary solution to the problem. He stated that when the City reacquires the Aiple property, a long-term solution may be reached, and this would cause the docks to be moved once again. Mike McGuire, owner of the Dock Cafe, addressed the Commission, and explained that the dock permits were issued based upon the agreement that the docks would be relocated by October 15. Chairman Fontaine stated that he feels the agreement should be adhered to. Mr. Easton stated that a less costly solution would be to move the Andiamo docks to another location and leave the transient docks where they are. . Mr. Russell stated that at this time, the City must take a position, and report to the Corp of Engineers. The Corp will not take action until the City states its posi~iop. Mark Ehlenz made a motion to approve the Special Use Permit, based upon the verbal agreement made in April; seconded by Judy Curtis. Motion carried 4-2; Nancy Putz and Glenna Bealka opposed. 3 I Planning Commission Minutes October 10, 1988 Case No. V/88-61 - Va~iance to the requirement for cons1ruction of a Thomas Nammacher, pr perty owner, with the architect. i The plans call for re~oving the present home from the location, and building a victdrian style home which will fit in the character of the surr~unding area.

Mrs. Engebretson read a letter from Mr. Nelson, with the s ,me request. Mr. Russell explained that this application will require two votes: one for the variance and one for a subdivision. Maurice Stenerson, 207 E. Walnut, asked about the height of the home. One of the conditions of approval is that the house be no higher than 35 feet, I and an elevation plan will be submitted before the Council mee~ing.

Case No. 640 - Minor Subdivision plan subdividing one 27,750 square ft. lot into two lots of 12,750 sq. ft. and 15,000 sq. ft. (existing residence) at 206 West Poplar in the R-A Single Family Residential District. Robert Benson, Applicant. Discussion: The application is to subdivide an existing 1851 x 1501 lot (location at the corner of Poplar and Fifth Streets) into two lots of 851 x 150' and 100' x 1501. The site is located in the R-A district. The proposal meets the lot size requirements for the district and the remaining lot with the existing structure has not created a nonconforming situation. Recommendation: Approval of Subdivision Plan as conditioned and recommended to the City Council. Planning Commission Action: Decision on recommendations. Findings: The minor subdivision plan is consistent with the general plan and zoning. Conditions: (1) A final subdivision plat shall be submitted within six months of this approval and meet the requirements of Section 31.06, Subdivision 3 of the Subdivision Ordinance.

The legislature recently amended the Intoxicating Liquor Act by allowing local ordinances to permit the holder of an on-sale wine license, who is also licensed to sell 3.2 beer at on-sale and whose gross receipts are at least 60% attributable to the sale of food, to sell strong beer liquors at the on~sale site without an additional license. If Stillwater would like to provide this option to their combination 3.5 beer wine on-sale license holders, we would have to amend our ordinance to do so. Let me know if I should draft a proposed amendment, since I don't think I should do it until the council authorizes a first reading. Let me know if there is anything further. ..

Tax Parcels 9029-3000, 9029-3050,9029-3200 . Dear Mayor and Councilmembers: As you will recall, in the summer of 1987 Mr. Granquist petitioned the city council to condemn land to provide access to the Granquist property which is described above. The condemnation would require the acquisition of a relatively small strip of land owned by Oak Glen Development Corporation as was shown by the maps and drawings that were provided at that time. At your July 7, 1987 meeting, the council voted to negotiate with Oak Glen Development and David Johnson to purchase, or acquire by condemnation, property to construct a street access to serve the property owned by Oak Glen Corpora- tion, the Granquist family, and Mr. N. Balogh, providing further that the Granquist family would pay the cost of the condemnation, should condemnation be required. Since that time, it is my understanding that there has been no progress in the efforts to obtain that access from Oak Glen Development Corporation and, consequently, Mr. Donald Granquist who is now succeeded to the entire interest of the Granquist family parcel described above is requesting the council instruct staff to proceed ahead with the condemnation so that this land can obtain access pursuant to the plan that was provided by Mr. Granquist and which was approved by the council, a copy of which I annex as an exhibit to this letter. . -' , \ t>1.ayor and Ci ty Counc ilmember s October 26, 1988 Page 2 . At your No ember 15, 1988 meeting I will be appearing on behalf of Mr. Granq ist to discuss this matter again with you. I understand Oak Glen Development Corporation may be approaching the City Council in the next few weeks or months as it affects other matters and t is may again provide an opportunity to discuss this matter with them prior to formal condemnation proceedings going f rward.

I League of Minnesota Cities October 14, 1988 To: City officials Agents - LMCIT property/casualty program From: LMCIT Board of Trustees sig stene, Mayor, Lindstrom Ken Orttel, City council, Andover Ken Murphy, City council, Thief River Falls Paul Holmlund, Finance Director, Brooklyn Center Don Slater, Executive Director, LMC Re: LMCIT PROPERTY/CASUALTY PROGRAM DIVIDEND . At their October 11 meeting, the League of Minnesota cities Insurance Trust Board of Trustees voted to return $5 million in dividends to the member cities of the LMCIT property/casualty program. LMCIT also returned $4.2 million to members in 1987. The member cities' continued success in reducing losses makes these dividends possible. Cities will receive the dividend checks early in December. Again this year, the funds will be allocated among the member cities according to a formula that reflects the total premiums paid and the total losses incurred by each city for all years of participation in LMCIT through ~ay 31, 1988. Under this formula, cities which have been members of LMCIT the longest and which have been most successful in avoiding losses will receive proportionately greater dividends. Even after returning $5 million to the member cities, the LMCIT property/casualty program will remain in strong financial shape. Each year, qualified actuaries review LMCIT's losses and loss reserves, and project what the ultimate cost of claims is likely to be. LMCIT holds sufficient reserves not only to fully cover those projected losses, but also to provide a substantial additional cushion. . Besides returning the dividend, the LMCIT Board also voted to reduce rates slightly for the coming year. However, the rates are still designed to cover projected losses with a good margin of safety. Thus if member cities can maintain their exceptionally good loss experience, that margin of safety in the rates should translate into additional dividends in the future. ~ 1 (} ~J~ ~~' pw ~~ ~ , ---5 ~j~1..IL{TV\ ~- . ~~T~Ti>@LJ~ ~~DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES PHONE NO. 296-7523 . .

October 17, 1988 Mr. Nile Kriesel CITY OF STILLWATER 216 North 4th Street Stillwater, Minnesota 55082 Dear Mr. Kriesel: RE: SNOW STORAGE AREAS Before the snow season prevails upon us, I thought we should contact the Council to urge the City to look for alternate snow storage areas other than the property adjacent to the St. Croix and Lake McKusick. I am enclosing some pictures that were taken last winter. As you can see, there are very negative impacts to water quality. The effects of the sediment can be readily identified, but the effects of the chemicals and road salt are not so easily discerned. We recommend that the floodplain areas of the St. Croix be totally eliminated from the storage plan. It is our opinion that Mulberry Point has been built up over the years just from the years of snow and street sweeping accumulations. The large parking area adjacent to the ball fields could still be utilized, but we recommend that no material be pushed over the embankments and that runoff be retained in holding ponds before direct discharge into the wetland areas. John Bruce with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) is also interested in working out an environmentally sensitive solution to your problem. We would be happy to meet with you to try to arrive at a mutually agreed upon solution. We appreciate the city's dilema and need to dispose of this material. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Please contact me at 296-7523 to arrange a meeting, if you desire.
