6. This is the day and time lor the 1991 "Truth in Taxation" Public Hearing
and proposed 1991 Budget.
Notice of the hearing was published in the The Courier and the
Stillwater Gazette on December 13, 1990.
Finance Director Deblon presented background information on how the budget
for 1991 was formulated. She further explained that Local Government Aids
have declined in the last three years and Oak Glen Development was
estimated to have a shortfall in funds for payment of their outstanding
bonds. Therefore, the City presented a 22.6% increase in property taxes,
which has since been reduced to 5.11 after the Oak Glen problem was
resolved. Further discussion involved "Tax Capacity" vs. "Mill Rate" and
taxable assessed valuation.
e
Betty Berube, 211 Maryknoll Dr., asked whether the funds for Lily Lake
include the whole complex. Ms. Deblon further discussed the General Fund.
Ms. Deblon stated the City has little control over union contracts for
wages; workmen's compensation has increased and Northern States Power
rates have increased. Comparable worth is mandated by the State of
Minnesota. Other items which continue to rise are PERA, Social Security
and medical insurance.
Jack Dielentheis, 1505 No. First St., asked what the City will do if the
State takes away Local Government Aids. Council stated there might be
some layoffs, but negotiated union contracts have to be honored. Also,
some services could be cut, other than public safety services.
Stella Casanova, 223 W. Pine St., questioned the City shoveling sidewalks
and Council explained this is done to provide children safe passage to
school without walking in the streets.
A man asked what the City wi 11 do in the form of restraint to cut
spending.
Jack Dielentheis stated he owns a building downtown and has listed it for
the same price he paid for it six years ago. The value has gone down, but
the taxes have gone up. He would like to know what he is getting in the
way of services that he wasn't getting before. It was explained the

market value is con~idered differently -- he is getting the same services
today as he was befire.
i
Jack Evert, 550 So. IGrove St., stated when it comes time to negotiate
salaries with emplo~ees, the Council doesn't set a very good example
because they had a ~aise of 20%. Discussion followed on how cities set
salaries.
Ms. Casanova asked if the City would get relief if the Woodland Lakes area
is developed and it~as stated it depends on what is built in that area.
Further discussion ollowed on Tax Increment Financing for properties
similar to the Woodland Lakes project.
A lady stated that ~eoPle feel the City is the most responsible unit of
government to taxpalrs. A 5.11% rate of increase is still under the rate
of inflation. She sked the Council to inform the State Legislature and
County to start "holding the line on spending".
. .
Mr. Lieberman state~ the City Council and Staff have come to this meeting
better prepared than tile County Board was for their meeting. Any saving
has to be done on a rational basis.
Miller Weeda, 220 So. 4th St., added that the Council is very receptive,
which the County is not.
Discussion followed regarding items that could be cut back in the budget.
Mayor Abrahamson closed the public hearing.

Dear Chief Mawhorter:
I would like to take this opportunity to cordially invite
you to participate in the first International Symposium on the Future
of Law Enforcement to be held here at the FBI Academy from April 1
through 5, 1991. The purpose of this symposium is to share information
about the field of Futures Research and to promote international
cooperation between law enforcement agencies actively engaged in long-
range planning. This invitation is specifically for you. Inasmuch as
you completed the Futures Research Course while attending the 135th
National Academy Session, your contribution to the symposium would be
invaluable.
e
The four-and a half-day symposium will consist of plenary
sessions, simultaneously conducted panels, roundtables, and workshops.
A Preliminary Program and related materials are enclosed for your
review. Proceedings from the symposium will be published. The FBI
will provide round-trip airline tickets; ground transportation to
Quantico from Washington, D. C., National Airport; room, and board
during the symposium.
You have been invited because you earned an A in the Futures
course. Due to space limitations a number of Futures students could
not be invited. Thus it is imperative that we be advised of your
decision by telephone at (800) 634-4097 no later than January 15, 1991.
If you are unable to attend, we will select an alternate from
among those students not previously invited. Early notification will
also expedite coordination of travel arrangements. Any additional
questions should be directed to the Symposium Coordinator, Supervisory
Special Agent William L. Tafoya, telephone number: (703) 640-1226.
We look forward to your participation in what we believe will
be a stimulating and informative symposium.
Sincerely yours,

and County Road #5, stillwater, Minnesota
(PID 9032-2610)
Dear Diane:
e
As a follow-up to your letter of December 5, 1990, I spoke
with Tom Thibedeau of First Minnesota savings Bank. They are the
current owners of the above referenced property having acquired
it through foreclosure.
Mr. Thibedeau provided me with-an appraisal as of November'
1, 1990, for $1,687,500.00. Our current plan is to process the
abatement through our office again based on the appraisal's value
estimate.
If you would like anymore information about the property or
the process by which the valuation is being reviewed or would
like this information presented to the City Council at a council
meeting, please call me at 430-6091.

RE: STILLWATER, MINNESOTA
PRELIMINARY DEVELOPMENT PLAN
ORLEANS TERRACE
SEH FILE NO: 89114
Ann Torito
City of Stillwater
216 North Fourth street
Stillwater, MN 55082
Dear Ann:
As you requested, we have reviewed the preliminary development
plan for Orleans Terrace located at Stillwater Boulevard and
Orleans Drive. Our review of the site plan included an analysis
of driveways, on-site circulation and parking.
DRIVEWAYS
The proposed driveways to the site appear satisfactory with the
exception of the 158 foot driveways proposed off of the west side
of Cottage Drive. The extreme width of these driveways will
cause confusion for drivers on both Cottage Drive and in the
driveways . across the street. Dri vers entering these driveways
are likely to enter the paved area approaching the garages at an
unusual slant rather than the typical 90 degree turn. This could
cause safety concerns as drivers exiting garages may not be able
to see these vehicles angling toward them. The attached drawing
shows a driveway concept which would improve this situation and
would allow some landscaped areas between the garages and Cottage
Drive.
The City questioned whether or not the distance between the
Cottage Drive/Orleans Street intersection and the access to
Orleans Street is adequate. We believe that the proposed 135
feet is an acceptable distance for spacing of these two inter-
sections, especially if the alley is modified as discussed in the
next paragraph.
ON-SITE CIRCULATION
A lengthy "alley" has been proposed between cottage Drive and
Orleans Street running in a north-south direction. We recommend
that this alley be modified so it is not a continuous connecting
roadway. If left as shown on the site plan, it is very likely
that drivers will cut through this area from Orleans Street to

get all the way to! the north apartment units rather than using
Cottage Drive. Th~s will result in more traffic than necessary
along the alley. ! Given the design of the "alley", it is
desirable to redUClthe traffic volumes as much as possible. As
shown on the draw' ng, we suggest using rolled curbs to allow
emergency access to all units from either side of the alley. If
desired, the discon ection of the alley could also occur between
the northerly and, central townhouse building rather than the
central and southerfY building.
I
Many of the corner$ on the site are shown as 90 degree angles.
We suggest that these corners be rounded off with a curb radii of
5 feet. This wi~l facilitate backing and turning maneuvers
without driving over the curbs.
PARKING
Under the current] design, on-site visitor parking at this
development will ocpur either directly behind the garages of each ~
unit or along the c~rb behind the garages. Drivers parking along ~
the curb will need ~o park parallel to the curb rather than at a
90 degree angle, to provide adequate space for residents to leave
their garages. If yisitors are parked both behind the garages or
patios and parallell to the curbs, maneuverability wi thin the
parking area will ~'e extremely limited. Several visitor parking
spaces for each b ilding could be formed by cutting into the
landscaped area as shown in the attached drawing. Visitors to
the units along Cot~age Drive could park on the street if allowed
by City pOlicy. I
If you have any qU1stions with regard to any of these comments,
please do not hesitfte to give me a call at 490-2071.
Sincerely,
Cindy Gray,

PLANNING CASE REVIEW
ORLEANS TERRACE
PRELIMINARY GRADING AND
UTILITIES
PUD 90-82
Mr. Steve Russell
Community Development Director
City of Stillwater
216 North Fourth Street
Stillwater, Minnesota 55082
Dear Mr. Russell:
e
We have reviewed preliminary grading and utility plan for the
proposed Orleans Terrace. This property is located along Cottage
Drive east of Stillwater Boulevard.
SANITARY SEWER
The proposed sanitary sewer for the Orleans Terrace development
will be served from the sanitary sewer being constructed under
the Cottages III lift station improvement. Because of the
revision in the plat from the original Heritage development, the
sewer for the lift station improvement needs to be realigned.
Laterals will be constructed off on either side of the l2-unit
buildings to provide individual services for each unit. The
sani tary plan as shown appears adequate and should serve the
development.
WATERMAIN
It is proposed to connect to the existing eight-inch main along
Orleans Street in two locations and loop a watermain northerly
along both sides of the three units along Cottage Drive. The
main will also extend westerly to an existing stub off Cottage
Drive near Stillwater Boulevard. It is proposed to construct
four-inch main on either side of the two buildings located at
the northwest corner of the site. We would recommend that these
stubs be constructed to a six-inch size with hydrants located at
the ends of the stubs for fire protection and maintenance.
Additional gate valves should be placed along the lines to
provide better distribution of water to the buildings should
maintenance be required on the mains. Each unit in the buildings
e will receive an individual water service stub.

GRADING JI
The grading plan g nerally meets City requirements and standards.
Runoff from the s' te will be directed to the existing ponding
area located south. of Cottage Drive along Stillwater Boulevard.
The proposed plan InfringeS on the existing utility and drainage
easement along Sti lwater Boulevard. A compensation in the lost
ponding volume wil have to be made on site.
Erosion control fe~Cing will be required to prevent silting into
adjacent propertie. and into the ponding area. Also, property
disturbed during ~rading will require restoration to prevent
erosion. We estim te the cost of this silt fence and restoration
at $11,650.
STORM SEWER
The two units alon Stillwater Boulevard in the northwest corner
of the site will h ve storm sewer within the driveways to pick up
runoff and distrib te it into the ponding area. The construction
of one of the building units will necessitate the removal of an
existing 30-inch utlet from Cottage Drive and the relocation
along the drivewa The plan proposed is adequate, however,
drainage computati ns should be submitted for review.
e
EASEMENTS
The plans as prop sed will require the dedication of utility
easements. A 40,-foot easement will be required along the
proposed trunk s~wer alignment to be continued under the
Cottages III lift ~tation improvement. The revised location of
the storm sewer, b,cause of the building construction, will also
necessitate the grafting of a utility easement to cover the storm
sewer outlet. If \ the water main and sanitary SetHer are to be
maintained by City ptility, easements are required to cover their
locations.
Attached are pIa s submitted with red lines showing the
recommended correct'ons

PLANNING APPLICATION REVIEW FORM
CASE NO. PUD/90-82
Planning Commission Meeting: December 17, 1990
Project Location: Cottage Drive between Orleans street and cty. Rd. #5
Comprehensive Plan District: Single Family
Zoning District: RA
Applicant's Name: Washington County HRA
Type of Application: PUD Amendment
Project Description:
Modification to a previously approved conceptually Planned Unit Development, 84
unit condominium units, to a 60 unit, five building development.
Discussion:
The PUD amendment request is for a 7.09 acre portion of a 13.38 acre site that
previously received City Council approval (PUD/8902 - SUB/89-83). The proposed
driveways to the site off East Cottage Drive need to be modified to define each
unit or set of units for easier access. The City Engineer has commented on these
driveways (refer to SEH letter dated December 13, 1990). There is no designated
visitor parking spaces on the site. The developer should provide family visitor
parking areas by cutting into some of the landscaped areas. A parking plan has
not been submitted so it is difficult to evaluate parking definitively.
The access drive connecting Orleans street to Cottage Drive shall be modified
to discontinue straight circulation between the two roads. As suggested in the
City Engineer's report, rolled curbs could be installed on Outlot B between the
south unit and the center unit to provide emergency access in this area yet
alleviate cut through traffic in this area. This area should be landscaped yet
provide emergency access between the two drives.
The grading plan shows slopes in excess of 3: 1. Any slopes greater then 3: 1 will
require an approved retaining structure. A grading permit shall be required
before any site development occurs. Erosion control measures shall be described
in the grading plans.
A landscape plan is provided showing a variety of deciduous and evergreen trees.
The planting should be in before each stage of construction is finalized for
occupancy. The pond area landscaping should be installed when grading is
completed and the first stage of construction begins. This will minimize erosion
and begin establishing the wetland vegetation.
At least two parking spaces shall be provided for each unit. One space is
covered in a garage and the other space is parked tandem behind the covered
space. A minimum of visitor space per project building shall be provided on the
final plans.
,;
I.. .~
No sewer service is available to the site at this time although an improvement ~
project has been approved for temporary service. ..,
Si te plan details including location and screening of trash receptacles and

PLANNING APPLICATION REVIEW
CASE NO. PUD/90-84 AND SUB-90-83
Planning Commission Meeting: December 17, 1990
Project Location: North east of intersection of Orleans and Washington Avenue.
Comprehensive Plan District: Single Family/Multifamily
Zoning District: R-A PUD
Name of Applicant: Ground Development, steve Fiterman
Type of Application:
Planned Unit Development
Project Description:
The request is for Planned Unit Development, PUD, concept approval to subdivide
88.5 acres into 212 lots on 54.90 acres, 13.10 acres dedicated to roads, 5.40
acres is proposed for a neighborhood park, 8.75 acres adjacent to Lily Lake would
be owned by the homeowners association and three outlots. outlot A is located
adjacent Lily Lake School. Access to the outlot could be provided off of Willard
street. Outlot B provides access to the television transmission tower on the
east side of the project and Outlot C provides access between existing Pine Tree
Trail and the new subdivision road system. The subdivision is part of a RA,
Single Family Residential/Planned Unit Development zoning designation for the
area.
The developer has proposed to construct the subdivision in six phases as shown
on the plans. The first phase is located just northeast of the intersection of
West Orleans street and Washington Avenue. Other phases will proceed based on
market conditions.
Comprehensive Plan/Zoning Consistency:
The site is designated Multifamily and Single Family Residential in the recently
adopted West Business Park Plan (Comprehensive Plan). The Single Family use of
the site is consistent with the land use designation. Other policies in the
Comprehensive Plan require the preservation of natural resources around Lily
Lake, provision of parklands, buffering between industrial and residential areas
and restrict a road connection to Pine Tree Trail. The site has been zoned
(first reading) R-A Single Family residential. A first reading of an ordinance
annexing the site from the Township to the City of Stillwater has also been
approved by the City Council of Stillwater.
In November, the Metropolitan Council approved the Comprehensive Plan land use
designation of the site, and the extension of urban services, MUSA line, to the
site.
The developer is requesting a Planned Unit Development Zoning Designation of the
site. The Planned Unit Development process allows flexibility in terms of lDt
size and dimension as long as the overall project density is within the Single
Family Residential Standards.
...
{
Project Analysis:
The site is located just east of the Cottages of Stillwater, a Multifamily
Project, south of Lily Lake School, the Pine Tree Trail residential area and Lily
Lake and west of a res-tdential area of mixed single family and multifamily
development adjacent to qreeley Street. Vacant Industrial lands are located to
the south across extende~ West Orleans Street. The Single Family development
is consistent with existfng uses to the east, west and north.
The future industrial userl to the south may not be comparable with the residential
use without special setb cks and buffering. The location of the neighborhood
park just north of West rleans will mitigate the potential incompatibility to
some extent.
The site is relatively flb.t. A northeast portion of the site drains to Lily Lake
and the remainder of the site drains west through the Cottages Project to Long
Lake. A 3.75 acres fefit retention pond is located along the west property
boundary of the site to old project runoff during storm events and settle out
silk and other runoff im urities. No holding pond siltation.
Access to the site is prdvided off of West Orleans which corrects to Washington
Avenue and Curve Crest Blvd. A right away along Orleans has been set aside for
the road improvement.
I
Of the 88.5 acres site, i4.90 acres is developed into lots. Lots range in size
for 8,125 square feet to 30,100 square feet. The typical lot size is 65 to 70
feet in width by 135 foot depth with some lots larger and some lots smaller.
Corner lots are larger pecause of the corner lot setback requirements. The
overall density of the Pf' oject is one dwelling unit per 11,280 square feet of
land or 3.86 lots per n t developable acres (excluding park land, roads and
outlots). The R-A Singl Family residential density allows one lot per 10,000
square feet or 4 lots per acre.
The PUD regulations allo~ for flexibility in lot dimension and area as long as
the Single Family purpo~e of the district is met and the overall density is
within the RA density ra~ge. By using the PUD process, the unique qualities of
the site such as the devellopment size and location next to Lily Lake while still
achieving an economic de~elopment density. Building pads are located on each
of the lots to show ~~w they will be developed within the R-A setback
requirements . ~'
The park dedication poli y requires that lands in residential subdivisions be
set aside for park purpo,ed to provide for increased park demand. The Park and
Recreation Board was con~ulted to see if park in lieu fees or land dedication
was appropriate for this Iproject. The Board indicated strongly that park lands
should be required. The wolicy requires that a percentage of the subdivided land
be dedicated for park putposed based on the development density of the project.
For a project of this de!1 sity, 8 percent of the developable land area shall be
dedicated for park purpo e. Subtracting Outlot A, 6.25 acres and the Homeowners
Association property, 8. 5 acres, results in a requirement of 5.9 acres of park
land as compared with th 5.4 acres being proposed for the neighborhood park.
The Park and Recreation ~oard also suggested that sidewalks be installed on all
streets because of safetlf concerns and for seniors or children walking in the
street. I
I
I
...
~ .
e
e
e
e
The Subdivision Ordinance requires 10,000 square feet per lot be in sloped areas
of less than 30 percent. Block 2, lot 15, 16, 20, 21 and 22 do not meet the
10,000 square foot requirement. It is recommended that the lots be reconfigured
with the possible reduction of lots to meet the requirement. Also lots near the
end of Pine Tree Trail may need to reconfigured to permit construction of a turn
around to end Pine Tree Trail. The eyebrow cul-de-sac in Phase 6 should also
be illuminated according to the City's consulting Traffic Engineer. (See
attached comments.)
It is not desirable to have double frontage lots. Three Lots, Block 3, Lots 17,
18 and 19 are double frontage lots. Driveway access from those lots should be
limited to the residential street.
A Homeowners Association shall control 8.75 acres of land boarding on Lily Lake.
The land is in a natural condition and separated from the subdivision by steep
slopes. Condition shall be placed on the Homeowners Association use of the land
to keep it in its existing condition with minimum components for a pathway and
possible temporary dock.
A pedestrian access easement is shown connecting the project to Lily Lake
Elementary School. A second emergency access is provided as requested by the
Public Safety Department connecting existing Pine Tree Trail to the subdivision
to provide for emergency or pedestrian connection to Pine Tree Trail.
e
The City's Consulting Engineer is reviewing the grading and drainage plan and
utility improvement plans. A report on them is incorporated into this report
by reference. Modification must be made to the plans to address the City
Engineer's comments before they are finally approved.
Findings:
Based on the following findings, the recommendation is made:
The proposed use is consistent with the Stillwater West Business Park
Plan (Comprehensive Plan) and the Single Family Residential Zoning.
As conditioned, the project preserves the sloped environmental
sensitive natural area around Lily Lake.
The project meets the City's open space/park lands requirements.

GRADING AND UTILITIES
SUB 90-83
PUD 90-34
Mr. Steve Russell
Community Development Director
City of stillwater
216 North Fourth street
Stillwater, Minnesota 55082
Dear Mr. Russell:
e
We have reviewed the preliminary grading and utility plan for the
proposed Highlands of Stillwater plat to be located on the Benson
Farm si te. This property is located northeast of the
intersection of West Orleans Street and Washington Street.
SANITARY SEWER
The 212 lot subdivision is proposed to be divided into three
sani tary drainage districts. The westerly half of the site
drains to the existing sanitary sewer at Washington Street and
West Orleans Street. The southeasterly portion of this site,
approximately 1/3 of the property is proposed to drain southerly
to Curve Crest Boulevard. The remaining area is proposed to
drain northerly into Pine Tree Trail eventually discharging into
the Brick Street lift station. Presently, the Brick Street lift
station is at times overtaxed and has had occurrences of backups.
The placement of an additional 30 to 35 units into this system
will further complicate the problems presently occurring. I
would recommend that the sanitary sewer plan be revised to
include this area either into the Orleans Washington system or
the Curve Crest system.
WATERMAIN
Proposed water service for the Highlands of Stillwater plat will
be provided by a connection to existing stub at West Orleans
Street and Washington Street and a stub off of the Curve Crest
Boulevard.

The plan as shown ~oes not indicate locations of hydrants except
at the dead ends om cul-de-sacs. Gate valves also are not shown
on the proposed utIlity plan. The attached plan sheet indicates
approximate locatibns of hydrants to serve the area for fire
protection. Actua( locations should be reviewed with the fire
department.
The Water Board ha indicated a desire for a well to be located
in the Benson Farm, site. Concept plans had indicated this well
being constructed at the northeast corner of Orleans and
Washington. The Iplan as submitted would move that location
easterly and be co~structed within a proposed park, approximately
700 feet east of 'I Washington Street. This proposed location
should adequately ~erve the Water Board I s needs. Test borings
taking previously ,should also reflect the conditions found at
this new location ~ithin the park.
I
I
The plan indicate~ a 16-inch watermain from Washington street
easterly to this n$w well site. This main need only be l2-inch ..
in size based on ~he water stub previously constructed off of ,.,
Washington Street. \
The plan should i1'dicate the connection of a watermain to Pine
Tree Trail to help eliminate dead end main along Pine Tree.
STORM SEWER i
The proposed stor~ sewer construction generally follows that
previously indicated for this Benson property. The majority of
the site will be ~i directed westerly to a holding pond to be
constructed just e st of the Cottages of Stillwater. This pond
outlets to the west into County Road 5 ditch system.
A small portion of the site is proposed to flow northerly into
Lily Lake. Lily Llake is a DNR protected wetland. Discussions
with the DNR have indicated that their jurisdiction would only
cover structures copstructed within the ordinary high water level
of 844.8. They wouid recommend, however, that settling basins be
constructed between the pipe outlet and the lake.
\
This same portion df the Benson property draining into Lily Lake
is located within ( the Mid-St. Croix River Watershed. The
watershed plan requires that runoff be maintained to
predevelopment flO~S and that erosion control be installed.
During constructio~, they require construction of settlement
basins prior to ortletting into the lake. Lastly, they require tt
\

that the discharge be placed through a wetland to help with water
quali ty or that the water discharged be treated. This last
restriction may be difficult wi th the si te constraints,
therefore, it may be advantageous to route the runoff to the west
into the proposed ponding area and enlarge the pond size to
handle the additional flow.
GRADING AND STREETS
The proposed grading plan appears consistent with City policies
and requirements. One section of street shows that an extremely
flat grade. Minimum grades on the street should be one-half
percent. The grading plan indicates locations of filter fabric
barriers. The locations appear adequate as shown. Seeding of
disturbed areas is also required following grading. We estimate
the total site cost for the silt fence and restoration at
$100,000. If the site is graded in phases, restoration and silt
fences for each phase would be less.
EASEMENT
A utility easement will be required for the watermain connection
to Pine Tree Trail. Easements along the backyard storm sewers
will also be required. A ponding and drainage easement will be
required for the holding pond along the Cottage property. The
preliminary plat indicates these easements.
Attached are a set of red line plans showing my comments
regarding the water and sanitary sewer construction.

Dear Mr. Russell:
We have completed lour review for the proposed preliminary plat
for the Highlands ~f Stillwater. This project is located east of
Stillwater Bouleva~d North and north of West Orleans Street in .a
the southwest por[tion of the City. Our review consisted of ..,
identifying trans~ortation/traffic concerns with regard to the
proposed pre1iminafY plat.
Our main concern w~th regard to this plat is the half cul-de-sac
design in Phase 6 pf the project. A partial cul-de-sac was used
to form lot front,age for four lots. Partial cul-de-sacs are
difficult to maint~in in terms of snow storage since the adjacent
lots have very little curbed area, combined with a larger than
I
normal volume of s~ow due to the larged paved area.
I
In addition, this I large 120 foot opening onto the residential
collector street lcreates trefficmovements which cannot be
anticipated by. trt,ffic on the adj acent street or by drivers
within the partial cul-de-sac waiting to pullout onto the
adjacent street. n other words, there is not a specific lane of
oncoming traffic dt the intersection of the partial cul-de-sac
and the adjacent street. Drivers are free to turn into the area
at any angle theYlchoose - which will generally depend upon the
location of their 1riveway.
The Phase 6 portio~ of the development also shows a full cul-de-
sac with only 15 eet of street leading into it. This also is
less than desirable from a maintenance standpoint in terms of
snow storage, as ell as parking, since much of the off-street
parking along these sites will need to occur on the adj acent ..
collector street r ther than the linear portion of the cul-de-sac ..
street.

Phase 6 also contains a street with a rather tight curve at the
northeast corner of the development. The inside portion of the
curve will have a radius of approximately 125 feet. This will
allow traffic to move at speeds of approximately 20 mph. A 200
foot radius would be needed for speeds of 25 mph. This is not
expected to create operational problems; however, it could be
compared to similar existing curves in the City to identify any
need for warning signs.

have a radius of approximately 155 feet, permitting travel speeds
of approximately 22 mph. This in itself is not expected to
result in problems. However, as southbound drivers accelerate
after coming out of the curve, they go into another curved
portion of the street where they may not be easily visible to
drivers leaving the cul-de-sac in Phase 1.
fa
The sight distance does meet the minimum of 200 feet for a design
speed of 30 mph as stated in the Mn/DOT Road Design Manual.
However, it may be advisable to improve sight distance by
shifting the entrance to the cul-de-sac approximately 70 feet to
the south. The cul-de-sac portion of the street itself could
remain in the same location as shown on the proposed plat. This
modification would help prevent future sight distance
restrictions caused by boulevard or on-site trees hanging out
into the line of sight. Reconfiguring this portion of Phase 1
may also solve the unusual lot configuration of Lots 18 and 20
where the rear lot lines form a 45 degree angle with the side lot
lines. This would most likely result in the loss of one lot in
Phase 1.
Pine Tree Trail is being extended to provide access to two lots
in :Phase 6 of thi~d~veJ.opm9nt. ;!:+. is ~.:';Q~':n. a~ o. dC2d-:-end ro.ed
with no cul-de-sac or turn around area. A cUl-de-sac,
"hammerhead", or off-set turn around should be provided.
Outlots A, Band C are accesses to the elementary school, Pine
Tree Trail, and the transistor tower, respectively. The City may
want to consider having these dedicated as public right-of-way
rather than outlots for the purpose of maintenance and longevity.
e
The majority of traffic entering and exiting this development
will do so via West Orleans street from either Stillwater
Boulevard or Washington Street. We suggest stop control on
Washington Street at West Orleans Street, allowing West Orleans
Street to be the through street.

RE: PRELIMINARY PLAT, HIGHLANDS OF STILLWATER, LILY LAKE (82-23)
Dear Mr. Russell:
Metro Region Waters has reviewed the 212 lot subdivision proposal
for Lily Lake. We offer the following comments:
1)
The proposed storm sewer outlet shown on the grading plan may
require a DNR permit, depending on the invert elevation. We
would recommend that a sedimentation pond be designed to treat
the water prior to discharge into Lily Lake to protect the
water quality.
e
2) We also recommend that the open space between the lake and the
development be maintained in a natural condition to help screen
the development, preserve wildlife habitat and to maintain a
natural filter for overland flow from rainfall.
3) It would be desirable for the project proposer to work with the
Soil and Water Conservation District when developing erosion
control plans.
Thank you for the opportunity to review this proposal. If you have
any questions, please contact me at 772-7910.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Russell:
e
At the December 17, 1990 Planning Commission meeting, sidewalk
requirements were discussed for the preliminary plat of The
Highlands of Stillwater. The main focus of this discussion
revolved around whether or not any sidewalks were needed in the
development and if so, the optimal location for these sidewalks.
The Planning Commission approved the preliminary plat with the
condition that sidewalks be provided or required by the
subdivision ordinance and/or traffic engineer's recommendation.
We have reviewed the proposed development and street layout in
light of the location of primary and secondary pedestrian
generators. Lily Lake Elementary School and the proposed park in
the southerly portion of this development ara the primary
generators of pedestrian traffic in the neighborhood. Secondary
pedestrian generators include nearby convenience stores and other
retail establishments. The attached drawing shows the
recommended locations of sidewalks within The Highlands
development.
In Phase 1, we recommend that the sidewalk be placed along the
west side of the street and connected to the Lily Lake Elementary
School site via a sidewalk along the west side of the cul-de-sac
at the north end of the development in Phase 3. We believe that
it is more likely for children living on the east side of the
street to cross to the sidewalk on the west side as it would be
perceived as going towards the school rather than away from the
school.

Between Phase 2 aqd Phase 3, we suggest placing the sidewalk on
the east side of the street. If children living on the west side
of the street choose not to use the sidewalk when walking to
school in the morqing, they will be walking against the flow of
traffic which i;s legs;'.. and conBide"('ed .safe. However, we believe
that most of thestb children would cross the street. to use the
sidewalk on the ea~t side. Once these children have reached the
northerly end of the sidewalk where it switches to the west side
of the cUl-de-sac ~treet in phase 3, they will need to cross the
street twice to get to the sidewalk along the west side of the
cul-de-sac street. Both streets at this intersection are
expected to have extremely low traffic volumes of less than 150
vehicles per day.
I
Access to the park lis available through one of the cUl-de-sacs in 4It
Phase 3. This alsp will generate pedestrian and bicycle traffic
which will make tlj1e sidewalk more heavily used if on the east
side of the streetJ
I
As part of Phase 4,i we suggest that the sidewalk be placed on the
east side of the s~reet. Placement of the sidewalk on the east
side will result i~ the fewest number of street crossings for the
larger volume of !,edestrians from the areas east"of this road.
Once pedestrians h ve reached the cul-de-sac in Phase 3 where the
sidewalk to the L'ly Lake Elementary School will be located on
the west side, th y will then need to cross a very low volume
street of approximately 150 cars per day to gain access to the
school property. I
I
A sidewalk is als\o recommended along the north side of West
Orleans Street. T~is sidewalk would then take a 90 degree corner
along the east sid1 of Northwestern Avenue.
No sidewalks are r~commended on the smaller streets within Phases
3, 5 and 6 of the I project. These streets will have an average
daily traffic volu~e of between 100 to 200 cars per day depending
upon the specific I\Ocation of the street.

The estimated cost of the sidewalks shown on the attached drawing
is $67,500.00. This assumes a 5' sidewalk width, at an estimated
cost of $10.00 per running foot or $2.00 per square foot. The
per lot cost of a sidewalk.. along a typical. 70' lot would be
$700.00.. If s!rreadp.y~n}y ~mC)I)g. all lots j.T); th~ proposed
development, the cost per lot would be approximately $320.00.
If you have any questions about any of these suggestions, please
contact either myself at 490-2071 or Glen Van Wormer at 490-2045.

CONSERVATION DISTRICT
e
1825 Curve Crest8Ivd.. Room 101
Stillwater, MN 55082
(612) .439.6361
January 9, 1991
FROM: Tim Fredbo,
Stillwater Community ~evel~ment
Washington swc~:72~
.Director
TO: Steve Russell,
RE: The Highlands of Stillwater Preliminary Plat
e
At your request, my review of\this plat was done in light of
the fact that the District serves as the technical
consultant to the Brown's Creek and Middle St. Croix
Watershed Management Organizations (WMO's). Both of these
WMO's have prepared water management plans as mandated by
the Metropolitan Surface Water Management Act of 1982. This
plat is located ih both these watershed areas, and their
water management plans are very similar.
Lily Lake is located within the jurisdictional boundaries of
the Middle St. Croix WMO, and is classified in their water
management plan as a water of local importance. This simply
means that the assignment of 60sts for any improvement
projects come from local sources. There are no water
resources identified in the Browns's Creek WMO plan in the
area of this plat.
In order for the development of this plat to be in
compliance with the Brown's Creek and Middle St. Croix
Watershed Plans, the following policies apply:
e
.P_Q_l~y.-LC..;_
All hydrologic studies shall analyze the 10Q-year
frequency event, with the critical duration defined as
that event causing either the highest water surface
elevation or the largest peak discharge in an area or
both. Consistent methodology must be utilized in those
areas where water drains from one community into
another. Any study must consider using consistent
methodology for the pre-development and post-development
land-use conditions, and shall have looked at the 10-
year return period storm.
AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER
. ..:.
::eQlic~ lEl.
In subareas of a landlocked watershed, development shall
not increase the pre-development volume or rate of
discharge fro~ the subarea for the 10-year return period
event. 1
e
EQ 1 i ~-1Ji.;_
Stormwater management improvements on stormsewers and
culverts shal~ be designed for the 10-year frequency
storm event, ~ith overflow paths, waterways and ponds
being designe~ for the critical duration 100-year
frequency stotm event. Consideration should be given to
flooding and ~otential damage above and around storm
sewer and cUlrert inlets.
P_Q.l.iJ;.L..lH..;.. I
No fill, draitage, construction or discharge shall be
allowed in a etland or watercourse identified in the
ht..e.r ResQ Inv~..n~Q.L..th..~m<L-an5.LM.8-CJiMQ,
without equal compensation through construction of
retention, st rage or treatment systems as determined by
approved engi eering practices on a per-site basis.
This policy w.ll be mandatory wherever physically
possible with variances for cause being available.
I
.E..Q.li..c..L.2A.;. .
During constr~ction, all new developments and re-
developments fthat utilize storm sewers shall use
sediment basi s or other proven best management
practices to emove coarse grained sediments from the
stormwater ru off.
.P..Q.l.i...~2-c...;.. !
All new storml sewers and storm sewers installed as part
of a redevelotment shall be routed to detention, stor-
age, treatmen systems or wetlands before discharging to
ponds, lake a d streams. If wetlands are utilized their
natural and a sthetic values must be maintained.
e
.P.Q.li.c.Y~..B..;. i
For any new dr.velopment located adjacent to lakes. ponds
or wetlands irentified in the Water Resources Inventory
with no natur[l outlet, the developer shall determine
the 100-year lood elevation for those lakes, ponds and
wetlands. It shall be the local communities'
responsibilit for checking and approving the methods
and calculatibns that were used to determine the 100-
year flood elivation.
!
I
I
e
e
E9lis;..L.3J)~
Each local unit of government shall adopt a soil loss
limits regulation for construction sites and
agricultural land consistent with Minnesota Statutes,
1986, Chapter 40.19-40.28, Excessive Soil Loss. The
BCWMO and MSCWMO strongly encourages each community to
adopt the uniform erosion and sediment control planning
and practice standards of the Minnesota Board of Water
and Soil Resources.
The erosion control practices that are specified on the
grading plan are all consistent with those found in the
Washington SWCD erosion and sediment control practice
standards. However, there are a couple of problem areas.
The filter barrier as proposed should follow the contour as
closely as possible to be effective. It goes up and down
hills in some areas. This barrier also needs to be
maintained during grading and until new vegetation is
established.
Storm sewer inlet protection practices should be
incorporated into this erosion control plan.
e
All disturbed areas should be seeded and mulched or sodded
as soon as grading is complete.
A stormwater detention/treatment system will be required
prior to allowing storm sewer to discharge to Lily Lake.
If you have any questions or require any further information
please contact me at 439-6361.

STILLWATER CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
CIO STEVE RUSSELL
CITY OF STILLWATER
216 NORHT FOURTH STREET
STILLWATER, MN. 55082
Re: THE HIGHLANDS OF STILLWATER
Dear Council Member,
Per a conversation with Steve Russell on Friday, January 11, 1991 it was agreed that a letter
written to the City Council would help facilitate the Public Hearing in considering the request
for a Major Subdivision known as The Highlands of Stillwater.
This letter is intended to outline the concerns of Ground Development, Inc. with both Staffs List
of Conditions and letters from S. E. H. dated 12/13/90 and 12/14/90. I will do my best to
briefly discuss each concern, knowing you will have only a limited amount of time to review
this letter prior to the meeting.
LIST OF STAFF CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
A. Item 1. Lots 15. 16. 20. 21. and 22. Block 2. shall be reconfiQured to meet the 10.000
sQuare foot of developable land reQuirements.
The lots have been reconfigured [see attached drawing] with the exception of Lot 16, Block 2
which will require filling to meet the Bluff Requirement. This lot sits in the middle of a block of
qualified lots and only due to the existing "lay of the land" does this lot not qualify. Ground
Development respectfully requests permission to fill this lot to correct the
existing topography to make it a buildable lot.
~
B. Item 3. An additional .50 acres of land and lor park dedication fee shall be paid to the City
to meet the park dedication reQuirements.
The preliminary plat calls for 5.40 acres of active park and 8.75 acres of restricted use
land owned by a homeowners association ["limiting the use of the land to recreational purposes
and keeping the land in its current natural condition"]. Ground Development respectfully
requests a waiver of any additional fees or land for park purposes on the basis
that the City has made as a condition of approval the control of the use of 14.15
acres of the parcel for recreational purposes.
e
e
e
, ,
C. Item 5. The park shall be deeded to the City before the first phase plat is approv~d for
recording.
I can not make a strong objection to this condition similar to those objections above. I can
only state that this condition for approval would create an economical hardship under the terms
of Ground Developments' Purchase Agreement with the Benson Estate. It should also be noted
that if the Council Grants a phasing of West Orleans the Park Deed timing would work best being
in concert with the West Orleans second phase extension. Ground Development
respectfully requests a delay in the deeding of the park until the platting of
phase four.
D. Item 9. West Orleans shall be constructed from Washington Avenue to Curve Crest Blvd. as
a part of First Phase Development.
Under the phasing plan which has been submitted with the preliminary plan it is not a
necessity to build the entire extension of West Orleans. Using the premise that the West
Orleans Project is to be part of a greater overall public project there is little to gain by
building the entire extension prior to the demand for the roadway. Ground Development
respectfully requests that West Orleans be built in TWO PHASES; the first
phase to be built along with phase one of The Highlands of Stillwater and to
extend only to the easterly street of phase one, and the remainder to be built
with phase four.
E. Item 14 Development on all lots shall meet the setback reQuirements for the R-A Single
Family Residential District with no variances.
Ground Development has applied for PUD zoning and designed its Preliminary Plat on the
basis of a PUD zoning. The corner stone to the plat is lot widths of 65' and 70'. It is
INCONSISTENT to apply an R-A setback [based on 75' lot width] to these PUD lots. Ground
Development respectfully requests Lot Setbacks of 30 feet Front Yard, 25 feet
Rear Yard, 10 feet & 5 feet Side Yards.
S. E. H. LETTERS DATED 12/13/90 AND 12/14/90
A. SANITARY SEWER "Presently. the Brick Street lift station is at times overtaxed and has had
occurrences of backups. The placement of an additional 30 to 35 units into this system will
further complicate the problems presently occurring .... include this area either into the
Orleans Washington system or the Curve Crest system."
This recommendation, if not changed, will have MAJOR NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES on the
project. The 32 homes which will be affected by a redesigned sewer plan will change from Full
Basement and Walkout Style Homes to Standard Split Entry Homes. The change in house style is
caused by a change in the sewer invert elevation requiring the sewer line serving these homes
to be much more shallow. Many of the lots affected by this recommendation are along the Lilly
Lake Bluff where the development needs smaller home footprints accomplished with Traditional
Two Story Homes. Ground Development respectfully requests that these 32 homes
be allowed to be serviced by the Brick Street lift even if some adaptations are
required.
B. IMPROVEMENTS FOR THE BENEFIT OF PINE TREE TRAIL a. "The Plan should indicate the
connection of a watermain to Pine Tree Trail to help eliminate dead end main alono Pine Tree."
b. "Pine Tree Trail is being extended to provide access to two lots in Phase 6 of this
development. It is shown as a dead-end road with no cul-de-sac or turn around area. A cul-de-
sac. hammerhead. or off-set turn around should Qe provided."
Both of these recommendations are for the full benefit of the residents of Pine Tree Trail and
have absolutely no useful purpose to The Highlands of Stillwater. Ground Development is happy
to include them into the public project to take advantage of the scale of the project. but objects
to be charged for non benefiting improvements. With that said Ground Development is willing
e
e
e
. ,
to contribute the easement necessary to accomplish the recommendation. G r 0 u n d
Development respectfully requests an understanding with the City of Stillwater
that Improvements for the benefit of Pine Tree Trail be assessed to the
Residents of Pine Tree Trail.
Thank you for the opportunity to express Ground Developments' concerns. I expect that we will
have the ability to look at each in more depth at Tuesdays Council Meeting. I will be happy to
provide any additional information you request at that time for your consideration.
Sincerely.

Jeffrey and Elizabeth Griffith, property owners, presented the
application. They iexplained that the house is on a 1 and 3/4
acre lot, with a 100 foot setback. There is space for six cars to
park behind the house with an additional four spaces on the north
side of the house.
According to the Fire Department, a maximum of 65 people could be
allowed on the first floor of the home. The Commission discussed
further limiting t~is number because of the limit placed on the
other Bed and Breqkfast in the area. It was pointed out that
there were objectiqns from the neighbors in that case because of
on-street parking,: but it was agreed to limit the number of
guests to 40 for srtecial events because it would allow for some
consistency, and co~ld possibly be increased in the future.
Bob Lockyear, 10161No. 3rd street, stated that he is in support

e Planning Commission Meeting:
December 17, 1990
Project Location: 903 North Fourth Street
Comprehensive Plan District: Two-Family Residential
Zoning District:
RB
Applicant's Name: Jeffrey and Elizabeth Griffith
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
A Special Use and Variance to conduct a five-bedroom bed and breakfast along with special
functions in a home.
DISCUSSION:
The request is to conduct a five-bedroom bed and breakfast along with special functions or
small group accommodations in a home in a residential home on the North Hill. This large
home sits on approximately 1-3/4 acres of land. The parking lot can accommodate
approximately five cars according to the site plan and report. However, the existing lot
cannot support additional cars for special functions unless the sideyard and driveway are
used. Fourth Street could accommodate additional cars without greatly impacting the adjacent
neighborhood.
The variance request is for the three block limit of bed and breakfasts according to the Bed
~and Breakfast Regulation, Subdivision 23, h. of the Zoning Ordinance. This regulation was
~ established in order to maintain the exiting residential uses from commercialization. The
proposed bed and breakfast is less than three blocks from another bed and breakfast located
at 626 North Fourth Street; however due to the size of the lot and location on Fourth Street,
there will not be an adverse affect on the neighborhood from a bed and breakfast use.
ATTACHMENTS:
The attached report explains the proposed bed and breakfast use in detail. The site plan
should include a sign location along with a sign plan.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL:
See attached conditions "A" and liB".
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Approval for the bed and breakfast use according to the attached conditions "A".
Determination of request for the special function use.
FINDINGS:
The granting of this Special Use Permit for a bed and breakfast will not be injurious to the
neighborhood or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare and will be in harmony with the
Bed and Breakfast Ordinance.

Proposal of Jeffrey B. and Elizabeth A. Griffith
for 903 Borth Fourth Street
Bed and Breakfast Special Use Perait
e
November 28, 1990
e
TO: Stillwater Planning Commission
Stillwater City Co~ncil
Dear Members:
We wish to seek special-use permits, for our home at 903 N. 4th Street,
Stillwater for operation of a small bed and breakfast, and to accommodate
small group events.
The home is a 100 year old Queen-Anne style Victorian, which is situated on a
four lot parcel on the North Hill. Currently it is a single family home, with
a one bedroom rental apartment on the second floor.
As you will see from the!photographs, it offers a spacious and private
setting, suitable for bo~h a bed and breakfast, and for accommodating small
groups (Groups would con$ist of no more than 60 people for quiet events such
as receptions, weddings, !business meetings or similar events). The existing
structure allows ample space for 5 rooms, as well as adjacent off-street
parking.
We have read and understand the zoning ordinances as they relate to Band B's
(Bed and Breakfasts) and will address them in the following paragraphs:
1. OFF STREET PARKING:
(See Photo's 5-6) Presently the property has a 2 1/2 car garage which
would continue to s~rve as owner parking. In addition, there is an
approximate 50 foot Iby 40 foot paved area adjacent to the garage, which
would serve as off-street guest parking and could accommodate 5
additional cars. This parking area is situated to the rear of the house,
approximately 140 feet off the street and is well screened from the
street and from adjacent neighbors to the north.
-
2. DINING FACILITIES:
Dining facilities will be used exclusively for Band B guests per the
existing ordinance. If required, small event dining, such as receptions,
will be provided by licensed professional caterers.
3. LOCATION OF ANOtHER BED AND BREAKFAST WITHIN 3 BLOCKS:
I
The nearest Bed and !Breakfast, the William Sauntry Mansion, is located
at 626 N. 4th Street. Although our house number (903) is within 3 blocks
we wish to seek a variance. We believe that a variance is justified
because:
A) While the ~roperty barely misses the 3 block limit, our
house is set bqck an additional 95 feet from the street, and offers
screened parki~g with very little impact on the neighborhood.
B) The proper~y occupies four city lots between 900 and 921 4th St.
North. The structure is sited on the northern half of the property.
The site allows privacy and adequate buffering from adjacent
properties.
e
e
(c) The property is bordered on 2 sides by extended street
right-of-way which is ravine and unbuildable. It is anticipated
that the rear of the house and backyard area be developed into a
garden and guest area. The house and surrounding vegetation would
effectively screen activities from the street.
(D) The planned use is not inconsistent with the neighborhood.
The existing neighborhood is not strictly single-family dwelling.
There are multiple family residences and rental properties on both
sides of North 4th Street within one block. The immediate
properties to the north and the south are duplexed, and commercial
property is less than 1 1/2 blocks away (Consolidated Lumber,
Larry's Floor Covering). The planned B & B would have comparatively
little impact on the existing neighborhood.
4. LIQUOR:
We will sell no liquor on the premises, per the existing statutes.
5. SIGNAGE:
Our identification sign will not exceed 4 square feet and will be located
on site. The design will conform to the architecture of the home, and be
in keeping with local ordinances.
e
6. ZONING:
The property is presently zoned as RB, which is in conformance for Bed
and Breakfast usage.
7. STRUCTURE/HISTORIC SIGNIFICANCE:
The house was buiJt in 1888-90, and is a representative example of the
Queen Anne architecture. The home is being restored in authentic
Victorian fashion, and will be furnished nearly completely in period
antiques. The home is attributed to have been built by Stillwater's
First Mayor, John McKusick, and given, as a wedding present, to his
daughter, Ella McKusick Merry. Some of the house's history is outlined
in the attached RTR home tour brochure. The house was included on
Stillwater's Rivertown Restorations fall house tour in September, 1990.
In 1988, it was also the location for a short movie ("Warped") which
recently aired on PBS.
8. BED AND BREAKFAST UNITS:
Current plans include opening two guest rooms in June, 1991 and two
additional rooms will be completed a year later. A fifth room may be
added at a later date. The Bed and Breakfast will have no more than
5 gues t rooms.
9. LIGHTING:
The parking area contains lighting for safety purposes (between the
house and the parking area).
e
10. EXTERNAL LIGHTING:
Lighting will be limited to walkway safety, and the parking area in
conformance with the ordinance.
11. INSPECTIONS/LICENSE:
We understand that inspection and licens~s are mandatory and will comply
with all required rules and ordinances.

Some of the more interesting owners include: Andrew C.
Peterson. a saloon owner, and his wife Mary from 1901-1903.
Etta and Ezra McCollum, the principle agent for the Nor-
thern Pacific Railroad in Stillwater, were owners during the
1920's. H. W. Plaster, an automobile painter and decorator
bought the house in 1925.
Originally built in a Queen Anne style with multiple roof
lines and a small front porch on the right side, a classic revival
style (Note pillars and central pediment) was added with a
1910 enclosed front porch addition (which included windows
and screens). Major front and back porch additions took place
in 1910 and 1924.
During the period from 1924 to the 1950's, there were ma-
jor interior changes, but now the interior has been restored
to its original state.
Note the original light fixtures in the front hall and dining
room, as well as-the-OriginaLbuilt in diningroom_buffetL_
JOHN AND DIANA LUND
822 6th Avenue South
This home was built in approximately 1880 in a pre-Queen
Anne style known as Stick, which was common in the mid-
dle to late 1800's. Note the vertical bands of exterior trim
which were typical of this style. The floor plan of the Stick
style usually was in the form of a cross which also can be
seen in this home - the arrangement of the front three rooms.
The cument dining room was the original kitchen; and what
is now the kitchen and back room was a kitchen and pantry
that was added on at a later date. It is thought the current
front porch was added in about 1904. The garage was a car-
riage house at one time.
This house has had very few owners. Early owners include
W. H. Fellows, a bookkeeper for Hersey, Bean & Brown
sawmill, as the first owner. Albert Drews, a foreman at the
Florence Mill Co., and his wife Tillie owned the home from
1890 to 1900. Peter Holm, a janitor at the Hersey and Staples
Mill, and his wife Nellie owned the home a short time from
1900 to 1901. The Lund's purchased the home five years ago.
Note the original wainscotting in the dining room, french
doors in the sitting room, as well as the original stained glass.
The floor in the dining room has an interesting oak and
maple wood alternating pattern.
The Lunds had an eerie experience after they finished paint-
ing the exterior of their home. While working on the porch
it was discovered that the house originally had been painted
the same four colors that the Lunds had selected.

DUANE AND MARTHA HUBBS
626 North Fourth Street
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places 5
William Sauntry, one of Stillwater's famous lumberbaron's,
built this house in 1878. It was later gutted by fire & re-
built in 189()..1891. The home is Queen Anne with Eastlake
elements. After William Sauntry's death by suicide in 1914
the house was converted to apartments and remained so un-
til1988 when the Hubbs purchased it. What followed was
2 years of extensive historic restoration to put the building
back to its original intended use. The restoration included
new roof, exterior painting to original colors, all major
mechanicals, re-building front porch, stripping most wood-
work, re-building original floor plan, structural work, plaster-
ing, painting, papering and much more. Where possible,
through research, rooms \iVere replicated. The red-parlor is

This home was completed in 1890 as a wedding gift from
John MGKusick, lumber baron and first Mayor of Stillwater,
to his daughter Ella and her husband Dr. Charles Merry. Ella
died within a few years of her marriage. The home is unique
in that it sits on four city blocks, almost two acres of proper-
ty, providing privacy and quiet.
In 1943, Charles Gilbert Mohr, then owner of the home.
painted the Swedish folk art found in the kitchen. His
nephew reported recently that one of the bedrooms was done
in western art, but traces of this are gone. As the story goes,
Mr. Mohr had started to divide the home into a 4-plex, but
never completed this, thank goodness.
In 1968 the home was purchased by Howard and Leona
Peulen who have related to us that every bit of woodwork
was lying in the middle of the floor and they painstakingly
put up each piece as it was originally positioned. Remarkably.
little architectural detail was destroyed, and the house is very
much similar to how it might have been in 1890, except for
e
\ ,
a couple of baths, doorways, and a missing built-in buffet.
The frieze-work in the main parlor is believed to be original.
The Griffiths purchased the home in 1987 from Carol Jansen
who continued to care for and preserve the home. The Gif-
fiths started immediately to restore the wonderful old veran-
dahs to original condition, and these will be complete with
the addition of a top row of spindles. A picture of the original
home can be seen in the front music parlor. We were able
to count spindles using a magnifying glass.
The home garners some fame due to an apparent resident
ghost named "George". Though the Griffiths haven't met
him yet, several others have repOrted apparitions and strange
occurrences. It certainly adds to the charm and intrigue of
this old home.
In 1988, a film called "Warped" was filmed at this site, a
short comedy-horror spoof slated for HBO.
We apologize-thatonly one second story room is open, due
to construction, and respect for privacy of the residents in
the second floor apartment. We hope to have the entire
home for show in the future, as restoration continues.

Visitors are asked to enter from the Martha Street driveway.
The upstairs will not be open this year due to construction.
Please be careful in walking through this home because of
debris, uneven flooring and other elements of construction.
The home was built in 1883 by Swen Berglund, a Swedish
lumberman who settled in Stillwater in 1857 at age 23. After
several years as a woodsman he purchased half-interest in
the ~ti\1water Manufacturing Company. a company that con-
tracted millwork for a national clientele. He contracted to
do the interior finish of the National Museum of Honolulu
and did millwork for wealthy plantation owners.
Berglund was a skilled carpenter whose Queen Anne house,
though simply composed, was neatly crafted and very up-to-
date. It's shingled gables and latticed trim reflected the
ordered variety of the still new style.
The original house was "L" shaped exposing large gables;
a wing to the rear was added after 1900. The original wrap-
around veranda fell off many years ago due to neglect but
was restored in the 1970's based on old photographs. Like
the double-facing gables, the veranda reinforces the dramatic
setting of the house.
Note the original woodwork in the front rooms, the buffet
and fireplace in the parlor. Also look at the Swedish sawtooth
design on the interior doors of the front rooms.
This Queen Anne is currently under construction and open
to tour to show what is involved in restoration of a home.
It will be on tour again when construction is complete.

PLANNING APPLICATION REVIEW
CASE NO. PUD/90-80
Planning Commission Meeting: December 17, 1990
Project Location: 14900 - 61st street North
Comprehensive Plan District: Single Family
Zoning District: RA
Type of Application: Planned Unit Development
Applicant's Name: Washington County
Project Description:
Request to modify the Washington County Master Plan Planned Unit Development
Approval for the County Government Center Campus. The requested modification
is for concept PUD approval for a future courts addition and administrative
office expansion and final PUD approval for the Law Enforcement Center. The
concept plans for the Law Enforcement Center were previously considered this
year by the Planning Commission when the parking structure plans were reviewed.
e
Previous action by the City of Stillwater regarding the developed included
approval of a grading permit to prepare the site for construction of the parking
structure and Law Enforcement Center and approval of the two-level 487 space
parking structure. An environmental worksheet has previously been prepared for
the project.
The permit application is to modify the Government Center Master Plan by adding
a five-level, 192,000 square foot Law Enforcement Center to the Master Plan and
other future courts and administrative office additions. The Center would appear
as two levels from behind the parking structure, North Panama Avenue and show
as five levels, 65 feet structure, from state Highway 36 to the south. The Law
Enforcement Center setback is 150 feet from the closest property line and 200
to 250 feet setback from Paris Avenue properties. The height limits in the RA
Residential District is 35 feet, but because of the nature of the use, lot size,
site topography and oversized setbacks from adjacent residential areas, a greater
building height is acceptable.
The project takes advantage of the topography of the site by stepping the
building down away from the residential areas on the north to the south and east
toward the highway. Parking for the Government Center would be provided in the
three existing surface lots (447 spaces) and the 487 car parking structure.
Primary access to the site according to the traffic study prepared for the
project would be from Osgood to 62nd to Panama Avenue North. The access pattern
to the center could be affected by future plans to make Highway 36 a freeway and
possible limited access at Osgood.
e
Because of the location of the facility on the western edge of a residential area
and because of the Oak Park Height Elementary School location and other
residential uses along Panama Avenue north of the site, it will be important to
contain traffic on 62nd Street west of Panama and out of the residential areas
to the north and east. The County has plans to upgrade Osgood from Orleans to
Highway 36 and install a stop signal at 62nd and Osgood in 1993 to increase the'
capacity of the intersection. This improvement should accommodate primary access
to the site. If traffic begins to effect surrounding residential areas, traffic
management techniques such as one-way streets or partial or full street closures
can be made to deal with the problem at the time.
e
No regular access to the site should be provided off of Paris Avenue north, a
residential street, only emergency access.
A major factor that will effect traffic patterns to the government center and
the area in general is the improvement to Highway 36. According to MnDot
schedules a final design for the highway improvements will be prepared by
December 1991. When a deicision has been made on the highway improvements, the
traffic patterns of Government Center related traffic should be reviewed to see
if additional road or traffic management improvements beyond the Osgood/62nd
improvement are necessary.
The plans that have beenisubmitted for the Law Enforcement Center include: a
site plan, landscape pla$, grading/drainage plan, utility plan, lighting plan
and building elevations. jThe site plan shows the vacation of Panama Avenue from
62nd to the south boundary of the county property. This request is considered
under a separate Case No. SV /90- 2. The vacation is necessary in order to
position the Law Enforcement Center on the site and take full advantage of land
areas. Access to the parking ramp would use the old Panama right-of-way and
access to the southern Sheriffs deputy area would use the southern part of the
old Panama right-of-way. ~
The landscape plan shows a variety of tress, shrubs and ground covers to soften
the appearance of the l;>uildings and partially screen the project. It is
recommended that a solid !fence be added to screen car lights from the residence
along Par is and addi tiona~ landscaping be added in that area. From the landscape
plan drawings, it appears that a fence will be constructed along the southern
access road to help separate county traffic from the residential sites along the
highway. This fence should be constructed when the road is completed.
The lighting plan shows ~he location of lights. The lights should have cutoffs
so that the light sourcefcan not be seen from adjacent areas.
The utility plan has beeni reviewed by the City Engineer as stated in the attached
letter. The comments s~all be addressed in the final plan submitted before
building permits can be) issued. A preliminary parking analysis was done to
determine parking needs ifor the entire Government Center project in 1993 and
2003. A Government Cen~er is not a typical office use and must be studied as
a combination of separate areas with various characteristics in order to estimate
parking demand.
Based on employment projects, building, space and visitor counts it is estimated
that 786 spaces will be. needed in 1993 and 1,120 spaces needed in 2003. The
proposed plans provide 9~9 spaces with the potential to add two additional levels
on the parking structur~ for an additional 340 spaces.
The parking situation c~n be monitored and if additional parking is necessary
e
e
e
e
.i.
additional spaces can be provided as part of subsequent development phases.
If parking becomes a problem off site in residential areas, parking restrictions
can be placed on residential street to eliminate the problem. Parking management
for visitor and employees is critical to a successful parking program. The
County should locate parking for visitors and employees so that parking is
convenient for visitors and employees park in the designated lots and not off
site.
Recommendation:
Approval with conditions.
Findings:
The project is consistent with the intent of the Zoning Ordinance and is
compatible with the neighborhood as conditioned.
Planning Commission Recommendation: Approval with conditions.

REQUEST FOR AMENDED PLANNED UNIT DEVEWPMENT
WASHINGTON COUNTY GOVERNMENT CENTER
Submitted by Washington County, Minnesota
e
November 20, 1990
As Washington County grows, the need to provide mandatory services to the residents of
the county likewise grows. The space necessary to accommodate those services was
recently expanded on the Government Center Campus by the addition of the six-story
office building. The next phase of expansion will be the completion of parking facilities
which will adequately provide, not only parking for the County Office Building, but also
provide sufficient capacity for the proposed Law Enforcement Center and some
expansion of the Court's Facility. That parking facility has been reviewed with both the
Planning Commission and the City Council, and has received approval in the PUD
process.
The purpose of this request is to include the Law Enforcement Center in the overall
campus PUD design. Both the design and location of the Law Enforcement Center have
been reviewed with the Planning Commission and the City Council.
As part of the Master Site Plan, it is proposed that Panama A venue be vacated from
62nd Street North to the south property line of the Government Center. The vacation
process has been started by Washington County.
The Master Site Plan submitted with this request also indicates additional building
construction which is contemplated in the future. They include an expansion of the
Court's facilities and an expansion on the western side of the original Courthouse for
Auditor/Treasurer space. The court's expansion is anticipated following the LEC
construction. The Auditor/Treasurer expansion is anticipated within a five year time
period.
e
To ensure that all aspects of planning have been considered, a number of additional
studies have taken place as part of the overall planning process. They include the
following: '
A. A parking study which projects parking needs to the year 2003.
The parking ramp pres~nted to the City Council provides for immediate needs and
some projected parking needs. The ramp is designed to expand upward to provide
for future needs as they are required.
B. A master landscape plan has been developed for the overall site.
C. Site drainage and ponding has been designed. The site is presently being prepared to
provide for proper drainage during construction of all projects and for site ponding.
D. A traffic study has beejn completed which indicates the projected impact future
traffic will have on th~ neighborhood as a result of space additions.
E. An environmental assessment worksheet has been completed for the campus design.

216 North Fourth street
Stillwater, MN 55082
Dear Mr. Russell:
e
We have reviewed the Washington County Law Enforcement Building
plans and the related utility construction.
Watermain Construction
The proposed watermain construction consists of a connection to
the existing system on Oxboro Avenue with an extension easterly
parallel to an inplace 6 inch. This extension runs to Panama
Avenue, then north, parallel to an existing watermain,
approximately 550 feet and connects into this existing system on
Panama Avenue. A proposed main also connects into the existing
watermain on Panama Avenue and continues northeasterly,
connecting into an existing system on Paris Avenue. The plan as
submitted should improve fire flows in the area with the inter-
connections between Paris, Oxboro and the Panama Avenue systems.
A few hydrants are shown on the plans. The number and locations ~-
should be reviewed with the Fire Department to meet their
requirements
e
There appears to be some confusion on the plans as to the status
of the existing watermain along Panama Avenue between the Law
Enforcement Center and the driveway to the ramp. There is a
note that indicates removal of this watermain. Further south, a
second note indicates removal and replacement, and further south
still, a third note indicating lower or insulating of the
existing watermain. This confusion should be cleared up by the
engineers.

Sanitary Sewer
The proposed sanitary sewer construction consists of the
connection to the existing main along the southerly edge of the
site. A 10 inch PVC main with manholes is proposed to be
constructed northerly to the southeast corner of the Law
Enforcement Center. A service loops around the east side of the
Law Enforcement Center to the parking ramp area. The sanitary
sewer system proposed appears adequate.
storm Sewer
A portion of the existing 27 inch storm sewer on Panama Avenue is
to be relocated east, outside of the future courts expansion.
Off of this system additional catch basins will be constructed to
direct water from the westerly side of the Law Enforcement
property into this storm sewer. This relocated main is
reconnected back into the existing system on Panama Avenue near
the location of the entrance to the parking ramp.
The majority of the site will drain towards the proposed ponding
area at the southeast corner of the site. This ponding was
previously approved as a part of the grading plan. Storm sewer 4t
is proposed along ~he easterly side of the Law Enforcement Center
and parking ramp which will connect into and drain into this
ponding area. The proposed system appears adequate, however,
drainage computations should be submitted for review.
Oak Park Heights Utilities
All of the watermain, sanitary sewer, and a portion of the storm
sewer construction' on Panama Avenue are connections to the Oak
Park Heights utility system. The utility plans should be
reviewed with Oak Park Heights to determine their compatibility
with their existing system.

/~
Vacation of Panama iAvenue
The applicant is requesting that Panama Avenue be vacated from
62nd Street to the south property line of the Government Center.
Existing city utilities will still be extended along this vacated
Panama Avenue. A utility easement will therefore be required to
cover maintenance 9f these existing utilities. It appears that
the width required ,for this utility easement, north of the future
courts expansion and south of the future courts expansion, would
be about 50 feet wfde. In the area adjacent to the future courts
expansion, this easement could be reduced to approximately 40
feet wide . Utility easements should also be provided to cover
the watermain connection between Oxboro Avenue and Panama Avenue

and between Panama Avenue and Paris Avenue. A utility easement
should cover the sanitary sewer from its connection south of the
government property to the roadway into the parking ramp if this
sewer is to be maintained by the City.

To: Stillwater Planning Commission,
Thank you for this opportunity to share my families
concerns with you.
As resides of the North side of 62nd St. we are trou-
bled with the flow!of traffic. We have childern and our house
is not set back very far from the street. Our fear is that
62nd St. N. could become a'driveway for clients and employees
of the Government Center.
Our family is ,not opposed to the closing of Panama.
However, we would li~e to request options so as not to direct
traffic East on 62nd St. N. in connecting with Beach St.
We hope something can be done in this effort in the
e
alignment of the entrances and exits.

CENTER TRAFFIC AND PARKING
SEH FILE NO: 89114
Mr. Steve Russell,
Director of Community Development
City of Stillwater
216 North Fourth Street
Stillwater, MN 55082
Dear Steve:
e
We have had an opportunity to review the parking concerns and
calculations relative to the Washington County Government Center.
You and I have met with the County and discussed the specific
parking needs. We have provided the County with several ideas
relative to parking calculations and worked closely with them on
calculations in arriving at a final number of needed spaces.
The number of employees, by department, for existing (1987) 1993
and 2003 are listed in a report prepared for Washington County by
Barton Aschman Associates. The space needs, employment and floor
area calculations for the several departments were combined into
administrative, courts and law enforcement areas.
For each group of employees, deductions should be made for shift
workers or workers . working outside the building. However, if
shifts for workers overlap, both employees will need a parking
space.
From this adjusted employee number, a reduction for absentees can
be made since some employees will be gone on vacation, sick leave
or comp time or on some travel status. This varies throughout
the year but at the lowest times, a commonly used estimate is two
percent. At peak times, such as the day before a long holiday
weekend, a much higher percentage will be gone. However, the
parking should be based on the low percent.

e
The number of parking spaces can be reduced further by a
percentage reduction for carpooling, transit or walking.
For visitor parkip.g demands, the figures used in the Barton
Aschman report co~ld be utilized with some adjustments. The
report assumes t~at weekly transactions are evenly spread
throughout five work days. The calculations also assume a
continual arrival pattern throughout the two hour periods on
which the demands are based. Obviously there are peak days and
peak periods during the day and- there is a random arrival pattern
within those peak periods. It would seem reasonable to assume
that 25 of the. weekly transactions may occur in one day rather
than an even 20 percent throughout the week.
We summarized many of our thoughts in a handwritten note sent to
the County's architects on December 11. On December 17, we spent
qui te a bit of tfime working with the architect to make the
calculations which! we outlined in the handwritten report. The
calculations and a$sumptions made to arrive at the final parking
demand figures are covered in the following paragraphs.
e
In 1993, it is anticipated that there will be 442 employees in
the administrative departments. This number comes from the
Barton Aschman repcprt, Page 100, and is found in the "projections
1993" column for the top listed departments. The architect and
the County had reviewed staffing in those departments and
informed us that $bout 75 employees will be either outside the
Government Center or working shifts where parking would not
overlap. Thus, the number of administrative parking spaces
needed is 442 minu~ 75 or 367.
Also in 1993, there are 184 employees projected, for the court
systems. Since none of 'these employees will be shift employees,
all 184 will need parking spaces.
A reduction of 2 !percent of the employees for vacation, sick
leave, etc. would ~educe these figures by 7 for the administra-
tive and 4 for the court systems. Using a carpooling percentage
of 5-1/2 percent :fi;or the administrative and 1 percent for the
court system would .further reduce the parking numbers by 22.
The total number o~ employee spaces needed for the administrative
and court systems ~ould then be 518. The County has calculated a
need for 67 Law Enforcement Center employee spaces in 1993. The
total spaces then needed are 585.
e
. . .
.
.
e
Mr. steve Russell
January 10, 1991
Page #3
To calculate the number of visitor spaces, Table B from the
Washington County Law Enforcement Center study was utilized. The
number of daily transactions was modified to reflect 25 percent
of the weekly transactions, and the peak time period of 10:00
a.m. to 12:00 p.m. was modified to reflect the anticipated number
of visitors in the building at any specific time. This gave a
year 2003 administrative department parking demand of 86.
Reducing the number to reflect the current number of employees
and visi torsg;:;\ye a19g~ d,eman.cl of .5-3, Tl':e~o'U;rt...aQ;~iDistrati.Q!,\'
and court services departments were removed from the. tabl~ and
these numbers. Thus, 53 additional spaces will be needed in ~993
for administrative visitors. The County in a separate
calculation determined that there would be 66 visitors to the Law
Enforcement Center. Adding these two figures (53 and 66) to the
585 indicates 704 parking spaces are needed. This does not
include court visitors. utilizing general figures for the number
of visitors in a court room, 1993 court visitors are estimated to
be 100, giving a grand total parking space demand in 1993 of 804.
e
The same calculations were used for the year 2003 with the total
number of administrative and court employee parking spaces
requirements at 656, Law Enforcement Center employees at 109,
administrative visitors at 86, Law Enforcement Center visitors at
80, and court visitors at between 275 and 325. This provides a
total demand of 1,206 to 1,256 spaces.
There are times when this number will be modified due to the
changes in the number of visitors. When juries are being
selected, the courts will require a much higher number of spaces.
There are peaks in the assessors and treasurers offices at
different times throughout the year such as in early January for
the assessor and at tax payment time in the treasurer's
department,. BQpefu.lly the CQunty w:i.2). nev€r select jurie,s on May
15 which is a tax due date.
We suggested that the County continually monitor its parking so
that it can proj ect when additional parking floors should be
added to the proposed ramp.
We have also previously discussed with you the need for a Parking
Management Program which we believe the County is preparing.
This was discussed with the County at one of our meetings. We
have not seen any information from the County relative to that or
to the traffic strategies or commitments which they were to make.

Re: Request of Albert Ranum (Owner) for permission to install Driveway
over North Williams Street
To: The Stillwater City Council:
It is our understanding that this matter has been referred by the
Planning Commission to th~ City Council for consideration in their
meeting scheduled for December 4, 1990. Please accept this letter as a
request that the matter be continued for a period of time no less than
30 days. This request becomes necessary as we are having difficulty
in obtaining written estimates for the improvements recommended
by the land use study presented at the Planning Commission meeting.
We have consulted with contractors on an informal basis and the
projected costs of these improvements appears to be quite substantial.
We believe it is necessary for us to obtain formal written estimates
from these providers. It is our intent to present this information
to the council at the tim~ our request is before them for consideration.
We believe it is important that the council have this information before
them so that they can have a full appreciation of the comparative costs
to the property owner for the requested alternative and those. recommend-
ations made by the Planning Commission. We feel that a lack of awareness
of the actual cost and impact to the property owner of the recommended
improvements by the Plann~ng Commission contributed significantly to the
nature of the recommendat~ons forthcomming from that august body. Our
intent will be to quantify the cost of both alternatives to the property
owner so that the council can give full and fair consideration to the
request before them.
e
Please contact me as soon as possible so as to advise me of the
new date for this matter.
Very truly yours,

NOVEMBER 8, 1990
NORTH WILLIAM STREET LAND USE/PUBLIC FACILITY STUDY
BACKGROUND:
At the Council meeting of September 18, 1990, the City Council received a
request to use North William Street for access to vacant Lots 6 and 7. The
vacant lots combined contain 12,000 square feet. In the RB Duplex Residential
District this size lot could accommodate a single family dwelling or duplex.
Besides the property owner, several residents who live in the area appeared
at the Council meeting and expressed concerns for the sewer services along
Linden, the impact of a new dwelling unit on the site, the maintenance of the
vacant lots, the potential for additional development using North William
Street for access. The property owner indicated he had purchased the property
many years ago for development.
e Based on the comments, the Council felt additional information and study was
necessary to make a decision on the request and referred the request to the
Planning Commission to address the concerns.
e
STUDY
A Land Use Study was conducted to examine existing land uses in the area and
determine the potential for additional vacant lot development along North
William Street. The vacant lots are relatively flat and overgrown with
vegetation. A ravine runs along the north portion of the study area. Portions
of the most northerly vacant lots have been filled.
A land use map is attached showing existing land use and vacant sites. Beside
the vacant parcel requesting access, two or three additional lots, depending
on ownership, have potential for development based on existing RB zoning
requirements. (See land use map.)
North William Street, south of West Linden Street, has a sixty foot
right-of-way. North of Linden the east half of the right-of-way has been
vacated for 125 feet. Then the right-of-way increases to the original sixty
feet. The thi rty foot ri ght-of-way cannot accommodate a new 1 oca 1 street tha t
constructed to City standards.
Water and sewer services are located in West Linden Street. According to the
Water Department and Public Works Department, there is adequate capacity to
accommodate the requested one lot development or a potential additional three
lots. The area would slope to the northeast into a lower ravine running
east/west just south of Laurel Street.
CITY HALL: 216 NORTH FOURTH STillWATER, MINNESOTA 55082 PHONE: 612-439-6121
e
ANALYSIS
In the study area, three or four vacant lots could develop in time. Access to
the lots would be off North William Street. To service the four lots, access
would be provided over the North William Street right-of-way and utilities
would be extended from Linden Street.
The City utility departments recommend a twenty four foot street minimum, six
inch water line and eight inch sewer line. A fire hydrant and manhole would be
located at the ends of the lines.
RECOMMENDATION:
Allow use of North William Street for access to lots 6 and 7 subject to the
foll owing terms:
1. The twenty four foot street shall be constructed according to City
standards extending from Linden Street to the north boundary of lot 7.
2. An eight inch sewer main and manhole shall be constructed extending
from West Linden Street to the north boundary of lot 7.
3. A six inch water main shall be extended from West Linden to the north
boundary of lot 7. A fire hydrant shall be located at the end of the
line according td the Water Department standards.
4. Any development on the vacant lots shall meet all zoning requirements.
5. Should the vacant lots to the north along William street develop, lots
6 and 7 \'o/Ould sha,re in tile cost of improving the road.
6. Fire Department access to lots 6 and 7 shall be reviewed and approved
by the Fire Chief.

RE: STILLWATER, MINNESOTA
NORTH WILLIAM STREET
LAND USE STUDY
SEH FILE NO: 89114
Mr. Steve Russell,
Community Development Director
City of Stillwater
216 North Fourth Street
Stillwater, MN 55082
Dear Mr. Russell:
Pursuant to your request, we have made a preliminary
investigation of utility service and street access for Lots 6 and
7, Block 11 Sabins Addition.
e
Lots 6 and 7 can be served by a sanitary sewer extension from the
existing deadend sewer on Linden Street. Public works measured
the manhole depths for the existing manhole at William Street and
at Everett Street. Using known intersection elevations, we
calculated the grade of the existing pipe. Our calculations
reveal a gradient of 0.43% which is greater than the minimum
required grade of 0.40%. This pipe has the capacity to handle
another home.
An extension of the sanitary sewer north on William Street will
require another manhole for alignment in the existing 30 foot
right-of-way. We estimate the cost of the sewer extension to be
$5,555. This includes 30% for contingencies, engineering, admin-
istrative and legal costs.
Only Lots 6 and 7 can be served from the sewer on Linden street.
The other properties north of Lot 6 within the land use study
area will require service from a sewer extension from the
existing 24" sewer in the ravine between Laurel street and Linden
Street. These properties are lower than Lot 6.
e
Watermain can be extended to the end of the future street if
desired. For this study we have estimated the cost of a
watermain extension to the end of the proposed paving (at the
north end of Lot 6) to be $7,490.00. A hydrant is to be
constructed at the end of this extension for flushing and
addi tional fire protection. This hydrant may be moved to a
location further north in the future if this watermain is
extended further.

e
The ent~re land use study area would be served by the waterma~n
extens~on on W~lliam street.
We have estimated the cost of constructing a 24 foot wide city
street sect~on at $7,650.00. This includes the city standard of
3 inches of bituminous surfacing, 6 inches of aggregate base and
concrete curb and gutter on each side. This street extends to
the north edge of ~ot 6. This does not meet the City standard
for design width of 32 feet and right-of-way of 60 feet however.
A variance for these design d~fferences will be required by the
Council.
A future extension of William street would provide a cul-de-sac
which is required for deadend streets in Stillwater. An
exception should be made for this first phase construction and a
cul-de-sac construc~ed in the future.
We have included the drawing prepared by the City Planning
Department with the proposed construction indicated.
This study was orq.ered by the City Council after receiving a _
letter from the prqperty owner of Lots 6 and 7, Mr. A. E. Ranum. _
The letter was dated September 4, 1990.
We find the project feasible and the first phase can. best be
constructed as indicated at an estimated cost of $20,695.00.

Re: Request of Albert Ranum, owner, for permission to install

To the Stillwater City Council:
e
It is my understanding that the above-entitled matter will be
taken up by the City Council on January 15, 1991, pursuant to my
previous request in order that I be able to obtain firm bids for the
street, water, sewer, etc. improvements that have been recommended by
the Planning Commission.
Up to this date, I do not have firm bids for the improvements as
recommended by the Planning Commission, and I request that the matter
be continued until the February 19, 1991, meeting, so as to enable me
to get the firm bids for the street, water and sewer improvements
required.

Dear Mayor Abrahamson and City Counci I Members,
I wish to register my strong dismay with the wooden statute of a prostitute
located on the sidewalk in front of Cat Bal lou's on Main Street, that I noticed
as a passed through Sti I Iwater last weekend.
Can you tel I me what a display of a scanti Iy-clad hooker is doing the city
streets of Sti I Iwater? How would you explain the public presence of a woman
dressed in a corset and garters to your chi Id? Do you not wish to convey your
town as a place to bring the whole fami Iy? Doesn't this display violate some
local decency or zoning ordinance? I also find this form of advertisment is
especially degrading of women, and I'm sure I'm not the only visitor to your
~ town who feels this way.
Please let me know your view on this Issue.
Sincerely,

WHEREAS, on September 4, 1990, the City Council of the City of
Stillwater enacted resolution number 8359, a resolution requesting a
variance to MSA standards for the portion of West Mulberry Street from
North Fourth Street to North Everett Street and,
WHEREAS, after proceedings duly conducted by the Minnesota
Department of Transportation in a proceeding known as a Request for a
Variance S.A.P. 169-105-01 (Mulberry Street) City of Stillwater, the
Deputy Commissioner and Chief Engineer of the Minnesota Department of
Transportation ordered that the variance be granted, upon the advice of
a variance committee appointed expressly for the purpose of
recommending to the Deputy Commissioner a variance from Minnesota Rule

six vertical curves; three curve lengths of 50 feet, two curve lengths
of 25 feet and one curve length of 100 feet; instead of the required
minimum of 30 miles per hour and,

State of Minnesota of a resolution that indemnifies and defends the
State of Minnesota against claims arising out of the variance.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED AS FOLLOWS:
The City Council of the City of Stillwater hereby agrees to
indemnify, save and hold harmless the State of Minesota and all of its
agents and employees of and from any and all claims, demands, action,
or causes of action of any nature or character arising out of or by
reason of, in any manner, the reconstruction of MSA S105 (Mulberry
Street) between North Everett street and North Fourth Street and any
other manner, in accordance with Minnesota Rules 8820.9912 and further
agrees to defend at their sole cost and expense any action or
proceeding commenced for the purpose of asserting any claim of
whatsoever character arising as a result of the granting of this
variance.
Enacted by the City Council of the City of Stillwater this 15th

Dear Council Members:
Please consider this letter a follow-up and verification of the
d1receion from the Council for final preparation of plans,
specifioat1ons and bid documents for the downtown improvements.
It is our understanding that we shall prepare a base bid
consisting of infrastructure items, namely:
o Repair and/or replacement of sanitary sewer
e
o
Storm sewer
o Wa~&rmain replacement on Main street, the full length
of the project and the addition of watermain looping on
North Main between Mulberry and Elm Street
o Concrete sidewalk replacement, curb and gutter and
street seotion, either reconstruction overlay or patch
and sealcoa.t
e
o street lighting for Option 1, as described in our
letter dated January 8, 1991: which consists of
replacing all wiring, conduit, bases, pOles and
existing lights for the existing system only with cobra
head fixtures. We will add the necessary lighting on
North Main between Mulberry Street and Elm Street to
increase the intensity levels to the same as the rest
of on Main street. This also inOludes replacing
existing lights on the side streets that are now
inplace without any additional lighting to increase the
intensity.
We will include alternate bids with shoebox fixtures on an
extended system providing the same intensity of lighting on the
sLde streets as you now have on Main S~reet. A final alternate
for lighting which would include the low level lights as
recommended by the Downtown Action Committee throughout the
project.

We will also include an alternate for pavers in the sidewalk as
recommended by the Downtown Action Comrni ttee instead of plain
concrete. We will include an alternate for the landscaping as
detailed on the final plan and recommended by the Downtown Action
Committee.
This will provide a means for the CounCil to review bid prices
after bids are received and determine whiCh alternates will be
acceptable.
we have alSO determined som9 key dates for a project schedule
proceeding with the receipt of bids, assessment hearing, and

As we discussed, this will provide the Counoil with firm prices
on the project, it will allow the City Finance Oirector time to
gather informatio~ from ~he County regarding financing which the
Council has reque]sted. The schedule provides the Council with
the amount of assessment that would be recoverable from the
projeot for bonding.

FIRE SERVICE CONNECTION
2ND NOTICE
Dear Property Owner:
As part of ~he Stillwater Downtown Improvement Project scheduled
for 1991, new $tree~ surfacing will be installed in ~he project
area.
The replacement of street surfacing provides the opportunity to
install a water fire stub into your property from which a fire
protection sprinkler system ca.n be operated. In add! tion, any
undersized or faul~y water services (e.g., lead or galvanized
services) can be replaced.
Based on previous experience and depending on building use, a
fire protection sprinkler system may pay for itself within 4 to 7
years through insurance savings.
The cost of the fire stub cons~ructed from main to the building
wall (generally estimated at between $700.00 and $1,100.00),
would be assessed to the effected property. The connection to
and plumbing required wi thin the building would be the direct
responsibility of the property owner.
We ask that you review the benefit of a fire service with your
insurance agent and use the attached form to notify the community
Development Director no later than February 15, 1991, of your
interest.
Unless word is received specifically requesting that a Fire
Service Connection be installed, the City will assume that a
connection shOUld not be extended to your property.
Sincerely,
Public Works Director

2ND NOTICE
Dear p~oper~y Owner:
As pa~t of the Stillwater Down~own Improvement Project scheduled
for 1991, new street surfacing will be ins~allea in the project
area.
~he replacement of street surfacing provides the opportunity to

protection sprinkler system oan be operated. In add! ~ion, any
undersized or faulty water services ( e. g. , lead or gal vanized
services) can be replaced.
ea.sed on previous experience and depending on building use, a
fire protection sprinkler system may pay for itself within 4 to 7
years through insurance savings.
The cost of the fire stub constructed from main to the building
wall (generally estimated at between $700.00 and $1,100.00),
would be assessed to the effected property. The connection to
and plumbing required within the building would be the direct
responsibility of ~he property owner.
We ask that you review the benefit of a fire service with your

AREAWAY REMOVALS
2ND NOTICE
Dear p~operty Owner:
As part of the Stillwater Downtown Improvement project scheduled
for 1991, new street surfacing, curb and gutter, and sidewalk
will be installed in the project area. See attached.
The replacement of sidewalk provides the opportunity to remove
unused "areaways".. An" areaway" is defined as basement level
rooms, doorways, coal chutes or windows, which extend under or
into the sidewalk area.
These areaways may no longer serve a useful purpose (e.g., coal
chutes, etc.), and may not justify the cost of maintaining them.
Ma.intaining the use of areaways will require placement of a
structura.lly designed top and sidewalls. We estimate the cost
may run from Sl,500.00 to $7,000.00. Since these areaways serve
private uses, yet exist .in public right-of-way, 'the cost of
replacement must be born by the property owner. This cost will
be included along with the proposed assessments.
Abandonment of areaways, however, which involves sealing the
basement opening and filling the void with sand, will be included
in the project cost.
Unless word is received specificallY requesting that the areaway
(inCluding window wells, coal chutes, etc.) be saved, the City
will assume that the areaway is no longer of use and will remove
it under the project.
We ask that you review the need for your areaway and use the
attached form to notify the Community Development Direotor, 216
North 4th street, no later than February 15, 1991, of your
interests.

METRO RELATIONS INC.
January 10, 1991
To: City Managers/Administrators
Dear Friends:
Five months ago I first talked to many of you about what I
perceived as a need to have someone consistently and regularly
analyze and review the work of the MWCC for which cities pay so
dearly. Most of you strongly agreed. No one disagreed. Many of
you expressed frustrations in dealing with the agency far beyond
what I had imagined.
I then set about to establish a service to fill this need, and
presented it to each of you for your consideration.
Subsequently two municipal organizations resolved to devote more
time to oversight of the MWCC. The Suburban Rate Authority,
although severely restricted by its budget, is planning to do so.
The Association of Metropolitan Municipalities board on January 3
directed its Metro Agencies Committee and Executive Director to
begin a process of overview of the MWCC budget and rate-setting
processes.
As to the Metro Relations Inc. analyses and oversight project,
it is now apparent there are three organizations poised to
provide a similar service to the cities. The MRI project will
in part be duplicated by other municipal organizations. Although
neither the AMM or the SRA have the background and expertise that
I bring to the project, it is still duplicative. As one who
labored long and hard to eliminate duplication and establish the
Association of Metropolitan Municipalities, I choose to not be a
part of such duplication of municipal interests. Therefore, I am
closing down the MWCC analyses and oversight project, and
returning the signed contracts to the respective cities.
I don't take this action easily. It took a tremendous amount of
time, effort and investment to get the project this far. I
spent several months talking with each of you and getting to know
you. This I enjoyed. I was looking forward to working with you
on the project.
There will be other projects and other opportunities. Keep me in
mind. When you have the need for consulting services on
metropolitan issues or related work, please contact me.

FROM: Scott Renne, County Assessor
SUBJECT: 1991 Board of Review Schedule
e
Our office has developed a "tentatively final" Board of
Review schedule for Washington county. Please review it for both
the first and second meetings to ensure that your jurisdiction
will be able to have a quorum at the meeting. As in past years,
the Local Board of Review is a public meeting which requires a
quorum for convening and any action. Minutes must be taken and
provided to the Department of Revenue. If we do not hear from
you by January 22, 1991, these dates will become finalized.
The first meeting is the time that appears on the valuation
notice that property owners receive. A valuation notice is
mailed out to all property owners who have had a valuation change
(either increase or decrease) of $500.00 or more or have had a
classification change. The first meeting is where the property
owners will make their presentation, either in person, in
writing, or through an agent, and the Board and assessors office
will listen to their concerns.
Subsequent to hearing the owner's presentations, the
Assessor's Office or Local Assessor will view properties, where
necessary, and collect additional data to analyze. A
recommendation will be made on all properties that appear before
the Local Board. The Local Board has the option of adopting
those recommendations or making any independent changes that they
deem appropriate, provided that the entire assessment is not
reduced by more than one percent.
The second meeting is scheduled to review the recommendation
and report provided by the Assessor's Office or Local Assessor on
the properties being appealed and for formal action by the Local
Board of Review. We have attempted to have our second meeting
precede a regularly scheduled council/Board meeting by thirty
minutes. Typically this scheduling allows ample time for the
action. Our office is generally not in attendance at the second
meeting, but will appear upon request.

MEMORANDUM
TO:
MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FR:
CITY COORDINATOR
DA:
January 10, 1991
RE:
STAFF WORKSHOP
I would strongly recommend that the City Council consider setting a workshop
meeting with the Departmental Supervisors to discuss a variety of issues related
to City business including the 1991 budget, policy on annual conferences, the
personnel policy as it relates to exempt employees, departmental salaries and
other items that may be important or relevant to staff and Council.
Many, if not all, of the departments are unsure of how to proceed with 1991
operational expenditures in view of the budget not being adopted at this time.
I have told the departments to proceed on a "business as usual" basis with the
understanding that no extraordinary budget items or capital outlay be made until
further Council direction was obtained and that attendance at national
conferences may not be approved this year. I believe this direction is
consistent with recent council action. However, as always, it would be better
to have a clear understanding of what the Council expects.
Also, according to conversations I have had with some individuals, it appears
that some changes to certain provisions of the Personnel Manual pertaining to
exempt employees is forthcoming. I have been asked by many employees what the
proposed changes are and what are the reasons for the changes. I have had to
respond by saying that the changes have not been discussed on a Council level
and that I do not know if the changes will take place.
As with any change in Administration or top leadership positions, such as the
City Council, uncertainties, rumors and concerns (personal and departmental) are
common place.
I think it is safe to say that changes and the associated characteristics of
change mentioned above always affect the workplace - but only adversely if not
dealt with in a timely manner and with input from those affected by proposed
changes.

Metropolitan Waste Control Commission
Mears Park Centre, 230 East Fifth Street, St. Paul, Minnesota 55101
612 222-8423
TO: Mayors and Township Chairpersons
Municipal Managers and Administrators
Municipal Finance Officers
e
This letter is to inform you of a recommendation before the Metropolitan
Waste control commission to moderate debt service increases in 1992 through
1994 by using revenue in excess of operating expenditures in 1990 to pay
for future debt service payments to the Metropolitan Council.
Both the new Mission statement adopted in 1990 and the Implementation Plan
issued in 1989 affirm that water quality is a dominant, but not the
soli tary concern of the MWCC. Public expectations, the concerns of
agencies which regulate environmental quality and our own professional
judgments expand our focus to the broader issues spelled out in the Mission
statement and the Implementation Plan.
In the 1991 operating Budget, expenditures were limited to the same level
as 1990, indexed by price changes. Any initiatives to tackle expanded
responsibilities had to be budgeted within these limits. As a result, a
number of challenges were deferred to future budget years. The challenge
areas are forecast to increase the program budget by seven percent in 1992.
This would be an added $6.4 million in program costs. The single largest
challenge area increase is operating the expanded regional wastewater
treatment plants. Additionally, we are facing an $11 million increase in
debt service in 1992, for debt issued in prior years. Debt service of
$41.4 million in 1991 is scheduled to increase to $52.0 million in 1992,
to $56.4 million in 1993 and to $62.9 million in 1994. These increases add
up to a 13.2 percent increase in forecast costs for 1992. The challenge
is to absorb these increases --as well as the customary price increase--
while moderating the impact on total expenditures and on sewerage rates.
A priority for fiscal planning is to develop methods that would moderate
the major increases scheduled in 1992 and 1994. One alternative is to pay
debt service early to the Metropolitan council from excess revenues. This
recommendation is before the Commission at the current time.
If you have any questions or concerns about the financial challenges that
lie ahead for the Metropolitan Waste Control commission, please call me at
(612) 229-2099.

FRANCHISE ADMINISTRATION
KING VIDEOCABLE INSURANCE CERTIFICATE - Wording on page two of
the company's insurance certificate: "Re: Franchise Agreement - "
was changed on November 5, 1990, and again on December 6, 1990. The
final wording: Re: Franchise Agreement - It is agreed that the
Central St. Croix Valley Joint Cable Commission and its officers,
boards, commission, elected officials, agents and employees and the
Stillwater Township and Bayptown Township are added as Additional
Insureds for all damages and penalties as a result of the exercise of
the Central St. Croix Valley franchise by the named insured. The
Joint Cable Commission
Minutes 12-17-90
Page Two
change of wording shown in bold print was approved by both Mark Ayotte
and the Commission's insurance agent, steve Keister.
During a telephone conversation with the administrative secretary,
Keister was emphatic that the Commission should have written
verification of King's auto liability and Workers' Compensation
insurance for our own protection; and that the Commission and the
corporation should be listed as additional assureds on King's auto
liability policy. After further discussion, it was decided that the
letter requesting verification that had been drafted be withheld, as
Charlie Foukes said he could make the request immediately tomorrow and
will then call the administrative secretary.
LEGAL FEES (PROPOSED ORDINANCE AMENDMENTS) - In response to the
Commission's letter o~ November 26, a letter dated December 10, 1990,
was received from Jim ~ommers, in which he stated that in his talks
with Mike Knutson no ~inal agreement was reached, and since
reimbursement of the C]ommission's legal fees was only one component of
the flow-through agreement, which has now been tabled, the company
would not execute any ~ne aspect of the proposed agreement. Bodlovick
said if flow-through i~ realized the Commission should at that time
attempt to be reimb~rsed for these legal fees. Ulrich said that
Ayotte had remarked th~t if the Commission wanted to be "hard-nosed,"
they could file for br~ach of contract. No further action was taken
at this time. ~
RECONCILIATION 0 LOCAL PROGRAMMING FEES - In Commer's letter of
December 10th, he stat d that he had asked Charlie Foukes to respond
to the Commission's request for a tabulation of money collected for
public access programm~ng and actual expenditures. A letter dated
December 13th was rfceived in the Commission Office today, December
19th, from Charlie, st~ting, "There has been no money collected from
Central St. Croix cust~mers specifically for community programming."
He continued that the $1.35 local programming fee per customer per
month notifies the customer that of the total charge for basic, $1.35
has been equated as th~ cost associated with providing community
programming to each cU$tomer.
He had totalled the ~uarterlY reports access expenditure reports,
arriving at a figure of $52,598 for the period from October 1, 1989,
through September 30, +990.
He concluded his let~er by stating that since flow-through had been
put on hold, any dOlla* amounts that had been included as a part of
flow-through negotiatiJns were also on hold, but that he would be
willing to discuss teplacement and upgrading of access equipment in
year five of the francllise as an issue separate from flow-through.
Discussion followed ~egarding the quarterly report for April to
June 30, 1989, which l~sted $5,776 as "public access carryover" and
the revised report ~or the same quarter, which listed $4,717.58 as
"variance from bUdget,~~ or "carryover account." Tabulating subscriber
count by $1.35 fee wou d seem to indicate that King's fiscal year
ending June 30, 1990, hould also have shown that expenditures for
public access were und .r budget, but no mention was made of this
on King's quarterly re~ort for the period ending June 30, 1990.
Foukes said that this cannot be calculated this way, because payment
for total basic cha~ge is credited to basic and there is no
breakdown or itemizatidn of $1.35 local programming fee; therefore,

there is no real way of telling who paid $1.35. He continued that
there is also a bad debt factor involved. Bodlovick said it should
be based on income received, not total number of subscribers, but that
it was always understood that $1.35 per subscriber would be received
to benefit our public access.
Lalime commented that actual expenses were under budget last year.
After further discussion, it was requested of Foukes to investigate
the "carryover account" and report back to the Commission.
ALLOCATION - YEAR FIVE OF THE FRANCHISE - Foukes was not prepared
to discuss the allocation at this time. Ulrich said there's an
$18,000 allocation for year five of the franchise for the upgrade of
equipment owned by the cable company, which is located at the Access
Center, and that this matter would be addressed later in the
meeting when discussing the corporation's report.
CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS
Juhl - A letter was received in the Commission Office on November 21,
1990, from Margaret Juhl, in which she questions the company's
resolution of her initial complaint, which involved the company
encoding and cashing two of her checks for an amount more than the
amount she wrote on the checks. Charlie Foukes said the amounts
involved late fee charges. Mrs. Juhl had requested information
regarding the company's late fee policy last spring, which she
indicates in her letter has not been received yet. She also said there
have been no messages from the company on her recorder. Foukes is to
follow up on this complaint. The administrative secretary requested
that the Commission be copied on the letter Foukes indicated was being
mailed to Juhl. He agreed to do so.
JOHNSON - A call was received at the Commission Office on
December 5, 1990, from Darrell Johnson, who reported that his
complaint in connection with his television antennae wire being cut
has never been properly resolved, and that it prevents him from
receiving channels 2 and 4 and that channel 5 does not coma in good,
unless he has cable, which he prefers to disconnect during the summer.
Johnson said the company put fault on the sub-contractor, and the
matter has never been resolved. Foukes reported numerous trouble
calls from Mr. Johnson. He said that Marty Welch had made several
unsuccessful attempts to reach Johnson by telephone. Ulrich requested
that the company copy the Commission. Foukes said he will pursue and
inform us how this complaint is resolved.
PRIME SPORTS NETWORK - Ulrich reported that the Timberwolves game
on Saturday night became scrambled and the company line was constantly
busy when trying to report this problem. Foukes said it was something
with the transmission, that it happened to everyone, and that it was
scrambled at the headend. Bodlovick reported another channel becoming
scrambled during evening hours, but could not recall the channel
number. Foukes said the company has started negotiating with Midwest
Sports Channel again.
PRISON MINI-SERVICE A letter dated December 10, 1990, was
received from Foukes, detailing the price increases in the Oak Park
Heights Correctional Facility and the Stillwater Prison contracts.
Revenues projected for Oak Park Heights were $17,280 in the first year,
$18,975 in the second year and $20,873 in the third year. Revenues
for the Stillwater Prison were listed as $24,960 in the first year,
Joint Cable Commission
Minutes 12-17-90

$36,000 in the second year and $38,362 in the third year. Foukes
said that the Oak Park Heights facility would be activated Friday,
December 21st, and Stillwater would be activated by the end of year.
REVISED COPYRIGHT REPORTS 1989 and 1990 - Ulrich reported that
the Commission had received copies of revised reports filed by the
company. They are on file in the Commission Office.
FORM 325 - not included in annual report, remains outstanding.
AMERICAN MOVIE CLASSICS Foukes reported that American Movie
Classics will be added on Channel 14 beginning about December 28,
1990.
CABLE COMPANY REPORT I
Commissioners revie~ed the subscriber report for the month of
November 1990. i
Ulrich asked how man~ subscribers to Prime Sports Network. Foukes
replied 1,814 in en~ire King system. He said he could get further
breakdowns and put it qn the subscriber report along with other
information the Commission may request, i.e: pay-per-view, etc.
He reported that the \company ~as running a "Make a Wish" campaign
offering free installation with a donation made by the new subscriber,
similar to the October campaign, where donations were awarded to the
school district. Fouk~s said he thought approximately $340 - $360 had
been raised for the sc~ool district.
COMMUNITY ACCESS REPORT
Thorbus reported that the Board of Directors would not be meeting
officially during the mpnth of December 1990.
He related that Wandmbcher, Knutson and he had been working on
fund-raising and were i~volved in some joint ventures to secure grants
for public access. I
He said the corporatibn had received access support for first,
second and third quartets of 1990 from the Lower St. Croix Valley
Commission.
Thorbus submitted o~e bill for relocation/upgrade of Access Center
expenses in the amount pf $3,540.87 and another for $834.00, totalling
$4,374.87, for which the corporation is seeking further support.
Ulrich reported that th~ Commission had approved the use of funds from
the Matrix Switcher fund and the interest accrued on the Joint
Equipment Fund certificrte of deposit during the last quarter, and
that was the remainder ~f funds available at this time. She said that
funding could possibly rome from $18,000 allocation by the company for
year five of the franch~se. Bodlovick questioned if the expenses
qualify. Foukes said Ihe would check on this. Lalime commented that
anything provided in new studio is certainly an upgrade from what
access had, previously. i Ulrich said she did not know who had
authorized purchases, b~t more equipment was purchased after funds
were depleted. She c ntinued that the $18,000 year five allocation
was for studio equipmen and requested Foukes to look into this
matter, suggesting tha1 Lalime could present bill to company for some
of these expenses. I

for the month of November 1990. The administrative secretary advised

reconsidered her motion during the November meeting to remove line
item for Basic Cable Reimbursement. She said she feels that anyone
named to the Commission should take cable to enable them to evaluate

with monitoring the system. MOTION was made by Bodlovick, seconded by
Schultz, to add Basic Cable Reimbursement back into the budget for
1991. Discussion followed. Ulrich pointed out that other changes
would have to be made to the budget to compensate for this addition.
Discussion followed regarding where compensation could be made; the
possibility of government entities discontinuing with cablecasts of
their meetings if asked to contribute towards the cost of said
cablecastings; reducing access support. Bodlovick said Stillwater
would continue with the cablecasting of ,their meetings. Doerr said he
WOUld propose suggestion for support of cablecasting the Oak Park
Heights Council meetings at workshop to be held Wednesday evening.

would go to people to try to gain support. After further deliberation,
Bodlovick withdrew her motion to add Basic Cable back into budget, and

LOST WAGES Ulrich addressed Michael Knutson's letter of
December 14, 1990, in which he requested this letter be read into the
minutes of December 17th Commission meeting. The letter stated, as
follows:
"In early November I (Knutson) asked Mark Ayotte to give his legal
opinion as to whether the Commission could reimburse its members for
lost wages relative to the Davis lawsuit. He researched the issue and
responded on November 13, 1990. He could not find anything that would
prohibit the Comm~ssion from using its funds to reimburse a
Commissioner for lost\wages and lor out-ot-pocket expenses and, in
fact, indicated to m~ that it wouldn't be necessary to ask the member
cities to amend the J~int Powers Agreement.
I do not believe that any commission member should suffer a personal
financial loss to fulfill a legal responsibility; i.e. summons to
give testimony for deposition or an actual trial.
I request that the Commission act at this meeting to authorize
reimbursement. I would like to see the Commission be proactive rather
than reactive.
Thank you for your qonsideration." s/Michael E. Knutson
Ulrich said she had conversations with a couple of people , one being
Mark Ayotte, who said there are some funds available for someone
called to testify in 9ourt, and that as far as depositions, a person's
work schedule is take~ into consideration.
(MOTION made by Schultz to amend minutes of November 19,
1991. Refer to Minutes Approval on page one.)
MOTION was made by Bodlovick, seconded by Schultz, to follow Knutson's
recommendation, authorizing r~imbursement of lost wages and out-of-
pocket expenses if not reimbursed by any other means. Motion CARRIED.

Mr. Edward Maranda

St. Paul, MN 55101
Dear Mr. Maranda:
Re: Draft Recreation Open Space Development Guide/Policy Plan.
A review of the Draft Recreation Open Space Development GUide/Policy Plan left
me with some impressions and raised some specific comments.
First~ the impressions: The policy plan seems to deal in detail and thoroughly
with IIRegional Recreation and Open Space" as narrowly defined in the report.
There' is little recognition of recrea'tion and open space provided by other
levels of government~ Local ~ County, State or National, that are in fact a
regional recreation resource. Because of how IIRegional Recreation and Open
Space" is defined there is little emphasis on coordinating and managing the
broader regional and open space resources. This coordination and management
may be provided at a local level by other park authorities but is clearly
lacking at the regional level.
An example may illustrate the point "and explain some of my detailed comments.
The St. Croix Valley, (I don't think it was mentioned in the report) is
blessed with two outstanding State parks, Afton State Park and William OIBrien
State Park. Both parks are located on the St. Croix River and serve as a State
and regional recreation resource. The parks are located about thirty miles
apart. Afton, Lakeland, Bayport, Oak Park Heights and Stillwater are located
along the St. Croix River, a nationally designated Wild and Scenic River. By
connecting the two parks, improved pedestrian and bicycle access would be
provided from the local communities to the parks as well as access for campers
or bikers who may like to start at one park, visit the interesting towns along
tile way, and enjoy the scenic beauty of the St. Croix cultural and historic
resources of the valley would be provided on their way to the other park.
This pathway faCility would provide better use of existing park and open space
facilities, provide local benefit by linking the state parks to city
population and local river park and open space facilities. These pathways
could be constructed along existing road right-of-ways that parallel the
river. '
No s i ngl e agency, Mi nnesota Department of Natural Resources or Department of
Transportation, Washington County or the cities of Afton, Lakeland~ Bayport,
Oak Park Heights, Stillwater, or Marine on the St. Croix can individually
provide the facility. This is where there is a real need for regional
coordination to make the best use of existing resources. MnDOT funds could be

used when State highwa~s are improved, \'~hile County and local government and
Metropo 1 i tan Counci 1 resoiurces could be used to construct the pathway throu g h
their communities or other areas. This could be a relatively low cost way of
making better use of existing regional park resources. There are undoubtedly
other similar examples of!, this situation in the region.
In closing, it seems ito me tile Draft Recreation Open Space Development
Guide/Policy misses theiopportunity to be more effective in providing for
regional recreation and open space resource by using a too simplistic view of
those resources and needs to extend its view into less expensive areas of
reg ion a lop ens pac e mia nag em e n tan d coo r din a t ion ~ T his t r end i s be i n g
experienced in other area~ of government and should be included in regional
open space and recreationl planning before it becomes a necessity.
It may be too late to include this change in approach in the current plan but
it can be kept in mind when considering regional recreation and open space
planning in the future.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the plan.
