Indenture Trustee ----1 B By Its z:;. 1: g~~ Its '-- . ~ t. 1 ,/ _ I - 7 - <, -' e e e . ' - MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and city Council FR: City Coordinator DA: October 19, 1990 RE: CONDEMNATION OF PROPERTIES LOCATED ON NORTH 4TH AND SOUTH 2ND STREETS The city attorney and I recently met to discuss the appraisal reports related to the properties located at 410 North 4th street and 1218 South 2nd street. The appraisal indicates a market value and rehab cost as follows: Market Value Rehab Cost t1j~~ .~fV. ,$70,000- _ ! 7 $56~~ 410 North 4th Street 1218 South 2nd Street $23,000 As you recall, the City decided to proceed with the condemnation process because the City had not had any success in eliminating the problems associated with these properties, especially the property at 1218 South 2nd street. The other method available was to use the nuisance abatement law and procedure. This was used to initially "Clean up" the subject properties (the nuisance abatement procedure was also used to demolish the building at 500 South 4th Street). The difference between condemnation and abatement, obviously, is that with condemnation the City would have to purchase the property and still rehab or demolish the building. This can become more costly than the abatement process. For example, it cost about $25,000 to demolish the building at 500 South 4th Street (thereby eliminating the nuisance). However, the City will recover this cost by assessing the property owner. If we were to condemn the property at 410 North 4th Street we would have to pay the property owner at least the amount stated in the appraisal report ($60,000) and then either demolish the building at an additional cost estimated to be $15,000 - $20,000 or to try to sell the property (i.e., advertise for proposals) to someone who would be required to rehab or demolish the building. It would appear that the sales price in this case would be somewhat lower than the condemnation price because of the high cost of demolition and especially the rehab costs. In this particular case, I would estimate the unrecovered cost for the City (condemnation price vs. sales price) to be between $30,000 - $40,000. Therefore, I would recommend that the City use the abatement procedure to solve the problems (at least temporarily) at 410 North 4th Street. Although it will probably take until next spring to complete abatement process because it is Court driven, the costs incurred will be substantially less than the costs associated with condemnation and are probably assessable as well. The drawback to the aba ement procedure is that the problem will only be cured for a short period of ime if the owner doesn't eventually sell or rehab the property. In other word , the procedure would abate the nuisance (i. e, sidewalk, retaining wall, grass c tting, weeds, securing the building and the removal of rubbish) existing today ut would not necessarily lead to the rehab and continued maintenance of the prop rty. It could become a nuisance again. However, as I indicated previously, t e cost of finding out what the future holds would be substantially less than the cost of condemning the property. On the other hand, th cost of condemnation/rehab/demolition (and history) associated with the bui ding at 1218 South 2nd Street influences me to recommend that we proceed with ondemnation of this property. It would be a more expeditious process (30 - 60 days to acquire the property and another 30 - 45 days to obtain proposa s) with rehab or demolition either starting or being completed by next sprin Although the City would probably have unrecovered costs of $10,000 to $15,000, we would have solved a problem that has existed for at least 12 years. Further, the value of the pr perty, especially with rehabilitation or with new construction, would inc ease thereby generating additional taxes - which in a sense could be consider d a form of cost recovery. The city attorney will provide you with a more detailed explanation of the condemnation and nuisan e abatement procedures as they apply to these particular properties at Tuesday's meeting to help you decide which procedure to follow. /f7~ ... l., , (" e e e i r e . w: Kirchner & Associates e v/ Appraisal Report 1218 S. 2nd street Stillwater, Minnesota SUMMARY OF SALIENT FACTS AND CONCLUSIONS Property Address: Legal Description: Year Built: Lot Size: Gross L~ving Area: Number of Units: Assessor's Estimated Market Value: Land Building Total Taxes: Zoning: Estimated Market Value: Cost Approach Income Approach Market Approach Final Estimate of Value: Date of Valuation: Appraiser: e 1 1218 S. 2nd Street Stillwater, MN Lot 10, Block 3, Churchill & Nelson 2nd Addition 1886 50 x 134 = 6,700 sq.ft. 1,458 square feet One $15,500 $10,000 $25,500 $747.44 N.H.S.

We cannot include this much information on the fine schedule we print on the back of our uniform citations. Each of the 32 townships and municipalities would need to be listed separately to show the various parking fines. Lack of this information results in numerous calls to my office merely to inquire as to the fine amount. It would be much more efficient for us, and more convenient for anyone receiving parking violations if we could standardize the fines and include that information on the violator's citation. with that in mind, I ask that each of you consider changing your fines for all parking violations to $25.00 I have enclosed a sample resolution for your convenience. The Washington County Judges have approved and recommend adoption of the standard $25.00 fine for all parking violations. If any of you have need for further information or would like me to meet with you, r will be very pleased to hear from you. If not, would you please put the issue on your next meeting agenda for approval and endorsement. After the resolution has been adopted, please send me a copy. The new citation form will be printed mid November. appreciate receiving this resolution by November 1st. for your help.

Stillwater is also refining existing land use and zoning policies for the 340 acre West Stillwater Business Park. No change in land use or development intensity is proposed for the West Stillwater Business Park as part of this comprehensive plan amendment. Documents submitted in support of this plan amendment include: * Information Submission For Major Comprehensive Plan Amendments, May 22, 1990; * West Stillwater Business Park Plan, December, 1989; * Supplemental Information Memorandum from Steve Russell, Stillwater Community Development Director to Steve Schwanke, Metropolitan Council, June 15, 1990; * Letter from Steve Russell to Steve Schwanke, August 8, 1990. AUTHORITY TO REVIEW The Metropolitan Land Use Planning Act of 1976 requires that amendments to local comprehensive plans be prepared, submitted to the Metropolitan Council for review and adopted in the same manner as the original plans (Minn. Stat. 473.864, subd. 2, 1978). Guidelines adopted pursuant to Minn. Stat. 473.864 for reviewing proposed amendments provide a 9O-day review period for amendments pote tially affecting one or more of the metropolitan systems, and a 60- day review period for amend ents that do not have a potential impact on metropolitan systems. e The city of Stillwater submitt d its proposed comprehensive plan amendment on May 25, 1990. On June 6, 1990, the Chair d termined that the proposed amendment was incomplete for Council review. After reviewing sup lemental material submitted by the city the Chair determined on August 8, 1990 that the ame dment presented a potential impact on the metropolitan sanitary sewer and transportation syst ms. Therefore, the 9O-day review period applies and will conclude on November 8, 1990. ANALYSIS Metropolitan Development a d Investment Framework Located on the St. Croix Riv r in east central Washington County, Stillwater is bordered by the cities of Oak Park Heights a d Bayport and Bayport Township to the south the city of Lake Elmo and Grant Township to the est, Stillwater Township to the north and the State of Wisconsin to the east (see figure 1). Still ater is served by Stillwater School District #834. Originally a logging communi and one of the earliest settlements in the State of Minnesota, Stillwater's development con .nues to be influenced by its location as a river community. Its economic base is enhanced b recent efforts at historic renovation and restoration of its central business district which, in ad ition to serving the commercial needs of local residents, also attracts a substantial number of regio al tourists. e Stillwater is designated a Fr standing Growth Center in the Metropolitan Development and Investment Framework. Fre standing Growth Centers are the larger urban centers located within the rural portion of the Metr politan Area. These centers are similar to communities within the urban service area in that th y have a full range of services and are able to accommodate a full range of urban land uses. Bing separated from the larger urban area by undeveloped land is the key distinction of freestandin growth centers. Policy 16 in the MDIF (page 22) states that the Council supports urban density residential, commercial and industrial de elopment in Freestanding Growth Centers. These areas will have the priority of fully develope or developing areas for metropolitan system investments. Land Supply and Demand The principal issue with this Ian amendment is the need for additional land in the Metropolitan Urban Service Area. Stillwat r proposes to add the "Benson Farm" to the urban service area. This area consists of 88.5 acr and is currently surrounded by developed areas in the city of Stillwater (see figure 2). Metropolitan Council forecas for the city of Stillwater were revised in 1988 from those in the MDIF for sizing of the Stillw ter Wastewater Treatment Plant (see table 1). From these revised development forecasts, land emand for the city of Stillwater through the year 2000 is 510 acres. Current estimated vacant Ian within the city's urban service area is 400 acres. It appears that e 2 e e e Stillwater is experiencing sufficient urban development to warrant expansion of the urban service area (see tables 1 and 2). TABLE 1 CITY OF STILLWATER SOCIOECONOMIC ESTIMATES AND FORECASTS 1990 2000 2010 1980 Prelim Revised Revised Census Census Forecast Forecast Population 12,290 13,717 14,700 16,400 Household 4,065 4,940 5,300 5,900 Employment 5,700 (*) 7,500 8,000 9,000 (.) This number is a 1980 Council estimate and not taken from the 1980 census. TABLE 2 CITY OF STILLWATER LAND SUPPLY AND DEMAND Land demand Resd (2.5 u/a) Camm Ind Pub Strs Parks Total 0 42 10 340 170 510 400 !!2 1990 - 2000 168 100 20 5-year overage Total Land supply (1990 estimate) Land to be added to the urban service area When a local government requests a change in its comprehensive plan by either adding more land to its urban service area or by changing the urban service area boundaries, the Metropolitan Council uses the following principles to evaluate these requests (see pages 54 to 57 of the MDIF for a detailed discussion): 3 Increasin the size of an urban service area: The Council will not agree to expand a local urban ervice area unless there is demonstrated regional need and adequate capacity availa Ie in the metropolitan sewer and highway systems; 1. 2. nfi ration of an urban service area: The Council will consider land-trade pro sals involving vacant, developable land adjacent to the urban service area p ovided metropolitan systems are not adversely affected. 3. Incremental c an es to the urban service area: The Council will review a series of incremental c anges to a local urban service area only if the affected local government a alyzes how the total number of proposed changes will affect regional forec sts and system plans and operations. This plan amendment meets nditions 1 and 3, where a need has been demonstrated for additional urban land in the .ty of Stillwater and metropolitan systems will not be negatively impacted. City officials plan 0 submit a comprehensive plan amendment after the 1990 census is available to specifically addre s the land supply and demand and related land use issues. This amendment will be critical if he city wishes to officially change their regional population and household forecasts for purp ses other than sizing of the Stillwater Wastewater Treatment Plant. Until these forecasts are offi "ally changed, however, each incremental addition to the MUSA will need to be accompanied with a full analysis of how the MUSA change will affect regional forecasts and metropolitan stem plans and operations. The Benson Farm property h not been officially annexed by the city of Stillwater. As with this comprehensive plan amendm nt, the city has tentatively approved the annexation pending final action by the Metropolitan uncil. Once the Council adopts the plan amendment, the city will take final action on the anne ation and the proposed plan amendment. However, metropolitan urban services should not be xtended into the Benson Farm area until the city of Stillwater and the Minnesota Municipal Bo rd approve the annexation. West Stillwater Business Pa The original plan for the W t Stillwater Business Park was adopted in 1980 as part of the city's comprehensive plan. Since t at time, the area has experienced new commercial and industrial development, extension of ro dways and utilities, development of new state and county roadway plans, and annexation by the ity of adjacent property. In October, 1988 the city of tillwater enacted a moratorium on retail development in a part of the West Stillwater Business ark. The purpose for this moratorium was to allow time to study and prepare a revised plan th t would guide development in the area. The new plan was to consider existing land use an zoning, extension and completion of the road system, sewer and water service extension, desig criteria for new development, annexations and the coordination of plans with the Minnesota De artment of Transportation, Washington County and Stillwater Township. Stillwater is not proposing la and standards that will guide of this plan amendment. A d use changes in the West Stillwater Business Park. New policies uture industrial and commercial development are proposed as a part mparison of plan area existing land use and zoning indicates that 4 " e - e ".ifI', e existing uses are generally consistent with zoning. The three industrial park zoning classifications (industrial park-industrial, industrial park-commercial and industrial park-commercial one) are very similar. Office uses are permitted in all industrial park zoning classifications. However, several land use and transportation issues surround the West Stillwater Business Park. The Business Park encompasses approximately 340 acres in the city and MUSA boundary. Of that, 181 acres is vacant, 90 acres is for commercial use and 22.5 acres for residential use. Maximum allowable building capacity of the 181 acres of vacant commercial land is 4 million square feet. Implications for this level of development are discussed in the transportation section of this report. T.R. 36 is the main roadway connection to the metropolitan area from the business park. This roadway also provides access into Wisconsin and connects to T.H. 95 for access north and south along the St. Croix Valley. Access to T.H. 36 is by an interchange at County Road 5 and at signalized intersections at Washington Avenue, Greeley Street and South Fourth Street. Minnesota and Wisconsin Departments of Transportation are considering building a new river crossing bridge. Both a south and central bridge corridor would utilize existing T.H. 36. MnDOT anticipates upgrading T.H. 36 to a freeway to connect with the river crossing bridge. This would eliminate the signalized intersections and require development of at least one interchange. Construction of an interchange or interchanges would alter the access to the business park and require Stillwater and MnDOT to coordinate land use and roadway construction plans. Transportation (Carl Ohm) __ The proposed MUSA expansion and the west Stillwater Business Park are served by TH 36, a metropolitan highway. Strategy 12D of the Transportation Policy Plan states 'The Council will approve expansion of the urban service area including the urban service area of freestanding growth centers, only when the state and/or the appropriate local unit of government demonstrate that adequate highway improvements will be provided when needed to avoid exceeding the capacity of the affected metropolitan highway." The TPP goes on to say under strategy 13A "Under the Land Planning Act; local units of government must address any nonconformance between their comprehensive plans and the guide." In the discussion of this strategy, the text reads "A common theme that appears throughout this plan is the need for compatibility between land use and initiatives and the capacity of the transportation system. The Council will expect that local generated trips will not exceed the capacity of transportation facilities. If this occurs, the Council will expect to see local initiatives to correct these conflicts." The proposed MUSA expansion consists of 88.5 acres of land which had been included in the township plan for development of % single family units and 320 multifamily units. The proposed use is 200 single family units. Since the use of the 88.5 acres had already been anticipated at an urban density, and the proposed intensity of use has been reduced, there should be no negative impact on this section of TH 36 which is now experiencing minor levels of congestion. e 5 The ultimate build out of the mmercial uses in the West Stillwater Business Park are the principal concern from a trans rtation perspective. The submitted plan changes land uses within the Business Park. The maxim m holding capacity of 181 acres of vacant commercial area is 4 e million square feet of floor spa according to a memorandum sent to the Council from Steve Russell, the city's Community evelopment Director. This has the potential of generating 13,200 employees. City staff argues th t this level of development could be built in this area today under the present zoning by means 0 special use permits. The intent of the plan is to "refine existing land use and zoning policy." From a Council perspective, th issue is not an immediate problem. 1H 36 in this area has capacity to accommodate the p ojected growth in Stillwater. The Council forecasts an increase of 1,500 jobs and 3,000 residents y 2010. At this level of development, this section of 1H 36 still should experience only minor 1 vels of congestion. A Draft EIS has been prepare on a replacement of the 1H 36 bridge across the St. Croix River and building or rebuilding 1H 6 to a 4-lane freeway to connect the bridge to the existing alignment. These improvemen are proposed to address a significant congestion problem in downtown Stillwater. Should th se improvements be made to 1H 36 on the present alignment, the present capacity of this hig way would increase by about 50%. Accommodating the forecasted growth would certai ly be no problem under this situation. The build out of 4 million squa e feet of commercial space is not anticipated in the 2010 forecasts and would result in significant ngestion if 1H 36 is not rebuilt and could result in significant congestion even with the reca truction of TH 36 as a 4-lane freeway. Staff cannot say this would occur for certain since t e analysis provided by the City did not include this situation. The resulting traffic to 1H 36 woul depend on the type of jobs, location of employees and local road system improvements. e The region is not committed to serve any level of development a city might generate with its sanitary sewer or transportatio system. At the present time, the affected section of 1H 36 has sufficient capacity today to serv forecasted 2010 growth. How much development could be accommodated is not certain u til a detailed analysis is prepared. This analysis would have to address the same issue noted a ve such as "where the employees would come from." The rebuilding of 1H 36 to a 4 lane freeway would provide 50 percent more capacity than exists today. If that were to occur in he near future, providing additional capacity in the next 40 years would seem to be inconsistent 'th the Council's other priorities or its position on restricting access for commuters from outs'de the MUSA The city should be aware it would be responsible to provide any transportation i provements if a significant level of congestion on 1H 36 occurred due to the development of W t Stillwater Business Park in a fashion that exceeds Metropolitan Council forecasts. In discussions with Mn/DOT a the city, two other issues are noted. First, there is no agreement between the suggest d improvements to 1H 36 described in the City's plan and the concept plan Mn/DOT has dev loped. The City suggests a detached frontage road would be built while MnlDOT does not show uch an improvement in this area. 6 e e The second issue concerns roadway access to the West Stillwater Business Park once Mn/DOT has completed with reconstruction of TH 36. At present, access to TH 36 is gained at TH 5, Washington and Greeley. Mn/DOTs proposed reconstruction provides a bridge across to TH 36 at Washington. This could be interpreted as modifying the access of some properties served by the Washington intersection. The City can assist new business or property owners in the Business Park by making sure all promotional materials make it clear a change in access will occur as a result of reconstructing TH 36. This should also lessen MnlDOTs cost of improvements. Sanitary Sewer (Jack Frost) Stillwater's current Comprehensive Sewer Plan approved by the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission (MWCC) includes the proposed addition to the urban service area (Benson Farm site). Land uses in the plan calls for 96 single family units and 320 multifamily units on the site. The proposed plan amendment would allow 200 single family units, substantially less then the 416 residential units anticipated in the existing sewer plan. While the Benson Farm area is part of an approved MWCC sanitary sewer plan, it must be made part of the city's comprehensive plan. The MWCC is in the process of expanding the Stillwater Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). Construction should begin late this year and be completed in late 1992. The design of this facility expansion is based on the revised Council estimates dated February 29, 1988 for the cities of Bayport, Oak Park Heights and Stillwater and Stillwater Township. The proposed MUSA expansion of 88.5 acres to include the Benson Farm has already been taken into account in the design of the Stillwater WWTP based on the revised demographic forecasts. e The entire area in this proposed plan amendment should be included in a comprehensive stormwater management plan that addresses both water quantity as well as water quality. As part of Stillwater's downtown comprehensive plan amendment approved by the Metropolitan Council in May, 1989 (see referral file no. 14835-1), the city committed to sanitary sewer improvements that would reduce infiltration/inflow into the Metropolitan Disposal System. During the summer of 1990, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency withheld the issuance of sanitary sewer permits from the city of Stillwater because of improper discharge at the Stillwater WWTP and because the city made no progress in reducing infiltration/inflow. As indicated in the August 8, 1990 letter (see attachment) from Steve Russell, the city's community development director, the city is proceeding with the implementation of its downtown plan that includes facility improvements to reduce infiltration/inflow. It is hoped that this project will help the treatment plant meet its National Pollution Discharge Elimination System permit limits. FINDINGS 1. The city of Stillwater has submitted a comprehensive plan amendment to extend the metropolitan urban service area (MUSA) by 88.5 acres to accommodate 200 single family residential units and a neighborhood park. Stillwater is also refining existing land use and zoning policy for the 340 acre West Stillwater Business Park. 2. The city has demonstrated a need for additional urban land in the city of Stillwater and metropolitan systems will not be negatively impacted. Land demand through the year 2000 for Stillwater is 510 acres with a 1990 land supply of 400 acres. Approximately 110 e 7 acres will be needed in tillwater through the year 2000 to accommodate urban development. e 3. The Benson Farm area as not been annexed by the city of Stillwater. The city will finalize annexation pr edings once the proposed plan amendment has been adopted by the Metropolitan Counc 1. 4. No change in planned I nd use or development intensity is proposed for the West Stillwater Business Park as part of this comprehensive plan amendment. Stillwater does propose policies to guid future industrial and commercial development as part of this plan amendment. 5. The proposed 88.5 acre residential MUSA expansion for the Benson Farm will not cause a significant impact on t e regional highway system. 6. Build out of the comme cial and industrial land uses in the West Stillwater Business Park would cause a significan level of congestion on T.H. 36 as it exists today and could cause significant congestion e en if T.H. 36 is rebuilt to freeway standards. 7. The city of Stillwater wi I be expected to resolve congestion problems that occur on T.H. 36 due to development n the West Stillwater Business Park. 8. Inconsistencies exist be een the proposed Mn/DOT design of TH 36 and illustrations of an upgraded TH 36 sho in the city's comprehensive plan amendment. 9. The proposed MUSA e pansion will not cause a significant impact on the regional sanitary sewer system. e 10. The MWCC is in the p ocess of expanding the Stillwater Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWfP). Constructio should begin late this year and be completed in late 1992. The design of this facility e ansion is based on the revised Council estimates dated February 29, 1988. The MUSA xtension request has already been considered in the design of the Stillwater WWfP. 11. Stillwater is proceeding 'th the implementation of its downtown plan that addresses the amount of infiltrationJi flow entering the sanitary sewer system. RECOMMENDATIONS 1. That the Metropolitan uncil adopt the above findings and the staff report as part of these recommendations 2. That the Metropolitan uncil approve this plan amendment and that no plan modification is required 3. That the Metropolitan uncil and the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission not approve extension of m tropolitan urban services into the Benson Farm area until the city of Stillwater and the M nnesota Municipal Board approve the annexation of this property. 8 e e e e 4. That the city of Stillwater undertake an analysis of the potential impacts of 4 million square feet of development on the regional and local transportation system. Should the development result in congestion on T.R. 36, the zoning should be changed so as to only add a level of development that can be accommodated by the present regional facility. When T.R. 36 is reconstructed, development activity should not exceed the capacity of the new roadway. This traffic analysis should include the potential build out of all vacant land or land with redevelopment potential according to the zoning ordinance. The analysis and resulting change should be incorporated into a complete revision to the city transportation section of its comprehensive plan. 5. That the city of Stillwater submit a revised comprehensive plan amendment for the local transportation system once agreement is reached with Mn/DOT over the design of T.R. 36. 6. Once improvements to T.R. 36 are programmed by MnIDOT, the city of Stillwater should ensure all new potential land owners, developers or employers are made aware of the modified access to T.R. 36. 7. That the city of Stillwater revise its comprehensive sewer plan base map to show the area proposed for sanitary sewer service. 8. That the city of Stillwater prepare a comprehensive stormwater management plan that addresses both water quantity as well as water quality for that area included in the West Stillwater Business Park. 9. That the Metropolitan Council encourage the city of Stillwater to submit a city-wide comprehensive plan amendment that addresses land supply and demand and related land use issues. h:\Iibrary\document\benson-l 9 flGUt ANOKA ---1 I I I ~~----1 ....

The Council resolution ordering the plans and specifications and sections from the Improvement Program describing the sanitary sewer and storm sewer improvements are enclosed. e The amount of III that can be eliminated by infrastructure improvements in the Central Business District is difficult to assess at this time because of unknown clear water connections. According to the 1/1 Analysis report for the City of Stillwater dated May 1, 1982, the III predicted is 0.207 MGD in Sanitary Sewer Districts 12, 13, and 14. These sewer districts include much of the Central Business District. However, the City of Stillwater rehabilitated the interceptor sewer along the St. Croix River. This sewer is within Districts 12, 13, and 14. The contractor estimated that about 0.155 MGD was eliminated by this project in 1984. This would be part of the original estimate of 0.207 MGD. The current schedule for construction of Downtown imorovements is for construction to begin May 1991 and completed by November 199i. Your letter of July 10, 1990 indicates that with submittal of the enclosed information, review and issuance of pending sanitary sewer extension permits can be completed.
