Reduction
$ 16,000
($ 25,000)
($ 9,000)
The reduction in the operation budget comes to $97,589. This reduction would
now require a tax levy of $3,703,941 which is a 4 percent increase over 1992.
The tax capacity rate would also be reduced to 28.784 percent (28.784%). Given
all of the factors related to tax levy requirements and budgetary needs, I think
the operation budget as now proposed is very responsible in terms of spending
and its impact on taxpayers.
In regards to the Capital Outlay requests, I added in the staffing/facilities
study costs and eliminated one I-ton pickup truck. The study (whether it is the
study that is currently being considered or another) is really necessary to
determine what our facility needs are now and in the future. We can continue
to discuss issues such a6 whether or not we need a storage shed for the Parks ~
Department or whether we should build an addition to the city Garage and move
the Parks Department to the city Garage, etc. But the question that always comes
back is "is this the best solution or are there other alternatives?U The study
will help us answer quesfions like this.
I
I
I did leave the storage $hed in the Capital Outlay Budget because it is needed
to protect the Parks Dep~rtment equipment and should enhance the value of the
property if sold. In oth~r words, the cost should be recovered in the event the
Parks Department is moved to the City Garage.
Diane and I can discuss tpe budget in more detail with you on Tuesday. . Also just
a reminder that the librfrY people will be at the 4 pm meeting to discuss the
library budget as well.

RE:
PARKS SPRAYER AND DROP BOXES FOR CITY TRASH
Sprayer
Accompanying this memo is some literature pertaining to the sprayer that Tim
Thomsen would like to purchase in 1993. According to Tim, the present praying
equipment requires the equivalent of two people to adequately spray the acreage
the City has. The proposed equipment will require only one person to do the job
that two people now do. Therefore, I would strongly recommend the approval of
this item.
Drop Boxes
The City of Stillwater presently rents six (6) - four yard dumpsters and two (2)
- 8 yard dumpsters for city trash. The cost per year is about $5,400. The cost
to purchase the containers would be about $4,600. This would eliminate the.
$5,400 cost per year.
Therefore, I would also strongly recommend the approval to purchase containers
for city trash (I should note that the agreement between the City and Junker
Sanitation requires Junker to collect "City" trash at no charge).

MAYOR AND COUNCIL
ANN PUNG-TERWEDO,
MEMORANDUM
PLANNER Ij
FROM:
DATE: SEPTEMBER 2, 1992
SUBJECT: SESQUICENTENNIAL CELEBRATION AND COMMITTEE
Background:
At the August 11, 1992 City Council meeting, you directed me to look into
interested individuals who would like to participate in the Sesquicentennial
in 1993. Since that meeting, I put a press release in the newspaper and had
response from some residents and organizations. I was also invited to a
meeting of individuals who are planning the Sesquicentennial. They have
requested that I serve on the Committee as a representative of the City. This
group is not a committee of the Chamber but does have Chamber representation.
The Committee consists of Anita Buck, Marguerite Rheinberger, Mike Mahoney,
Shawn Draper and myself. The group will be serving as a central planning
Committee whose purpose is to put together a calendar of events for the year
and assist in coordinating certain events.
Councilmember Funke has also shown interest in being on this committee. This
can be accomplished by allowing myself and Councilmember Funke as co-city
representatives.
The attached letter explains in further detail some of the planning that needs
to take place in the next couple of months in order to make this happen in
1993. It will be sent to local organizations.
RECOMMENDATION:
Appoint: Anita Buck, Marguerite Rhineberger, Mike Maloney, Shawn Draper, Ann
Terwedo/Gary Funke as the official Sesquicentennial committee.
Appoint: Ann Terwedo and Gary Funke as City representatives.
A P pro val to s end 0 u t 1 e t t e r, que s t ion n air e s an d pre s s r e 1 e as e to 1 0 c a 1
organizations and set September 23 and October 7 as dates for local
organizations to meet with the committee.

RE: STILLWATER, MINNESOTA
HIGHLANDS PHASE 2
ASSESSMENT BREAKDOWN
L.1. 276
SEH FILE NO. 92059
Mr. Nile Kriesel
City of stillwater
216 North Fourth Street
Stillwater, Minnesota 55082
Dear Nile;
e
The storm sewers that were constructed as a part of the Highlands
of Stillwater Phase 2 Improvements, L.I. 276, were sized to handle
run-off from all remaining phases. This storm sewer system will
direct all flows to one pond constructed at the northwest corner of
Phase 2. The developer for the Highlands of Stillwater
Improvements, Steve Fiterman, has therefore requested that the
storm sewer project costs be assessed over all the remaining phases
(3 through 6) as well as Phase 2.
The attached sheet shows how these storm sewer costs would be
broken out based on contribution of runoff (the areas
contributing).. From this sheet, Phase 2 (including the area
serving Phase 1) contributes 41.23 % of the flow to the oversized
systems. Therefore the storm sewer project cost assessed against
Phase 2 would be 41.23% of the total estimated cost of $158,493.38
or $65,339.53. The remaining storm sewer costs would be assessed
against Phases 3 through 6 as shown. All of the remaining project
costs; street, sanitary sewer and watermains would be all assessed
only against Phase 2. Under this system of assessments, each of
the 42 lots in Phase 2 would be assessed an estimate amount of
$8,365.65.

MEMORANDUM
TO:
Mayor and City Council
J;J~
FR:
Diane Deblon, Finance Director
DA: September 3, 1992
RE: PENDING ASSESSMENTS FOR L. I. 216, HIGHLANDS, PHASE II
Background
The developer for L.I. 276 (Highland Phase II) has asked the City to reapportion
the storm sewer costs for this project and defer amounts to phases 3 through 6
for the benefitted properties pro rata share. This would effectively reduce the
pending assessment amount per lot from $11,169.19 to $8,365.65.
Analysis
The City is in the process of completing this project and we expect to adopt the
final assessment roll this fall (October or November). To date, the City has
processed assessments searches for properties located in the project area and
have certified pending assessment amounts of $11,169.19 for each lot.
4It Conclusion
If the City were to change the pending assessment amount at this date, we would
need to change all the corresponding plat parcel books, maps, etc. to reflect
the reduced amount. Also, assessment searches already completed?
Recommendation
Inasmuch as the final assessment roll for this project will be completed and
adopted in the near future and the fact that the storm sewer reapportionment
appears to be a decision of the City Council that would be addressed during the
formulation of the final assessment roll, I would recommend no change at this
time.

RE:
CONSULTANT ASSISTANCE FOR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT
Over the past two years, the City has complied land use data for each parcel of
land in the City.
In order to use the data, it needs to be updated and tabulated. Mike Jordan (not
the basketball player) has done this type of work for the Arrowhead Regional
Development Commission.
It is estimated that the time to complete the work would be three weeks and his
pay rate is $7/hour ($840) . The money is in the planning budget for
Comprehensive Plan Consultant Assistance. The results from this work will be
part of an Existing Condition Report as part of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment.
Recommendation
Approve a resolution hiring Michael Jordan for 120 hours at $7/hour to prepare
analyses and reports using City Land Use Information.

Subject:
Contract Proposall Work Update
Enclosed are copies of my eOfntract proposal and resumt'. I hope they are adequate for our
purposes.
I am returning the census dat~~ iufornlation as the disk is defective; the computer responds with
"disk error" at ~my attempt toiread the disk. TIle data included is fornmlated at the tract level, so
information would be useful for city-wide analysis, but it probably would be of little value at the
study-area level.
Another problem I have enc~untered is that 1ile Synphony software will not handle combined
spreadsheets effectively. When I joined the fIrst three residential fIles (study areas) the computer
slowed significantly, and by the time the fourth was added, it took nearly half an hour just to
save the file. Therefore, it se~ms that analysis will have to be completed me by file and then a
combined into report fonn. 'OulIlkfully, analysis has been completed within most study areas, so .
I should be able to concentrate primarily in areas of new development. Please keep in mind that
doing analysis by individual ~tudy arcas means that for each citywide statistic that needs to be
analyzed, 23 queries must b~ initiated (one for each me) and then combined analysis perfornlt.~d.
I am currently completing w(~rk to make all of the residential fIles follow the same specifIc
stTIlcture so that these operations will be consistent. I will bring you up to speed on how the
operations are perfornled when it is convenient for you.

Transportation Advisory Board
Metropolitan Council
230 East Fifth Street
St. Paul, MN 55101-1634
Re: Comments on FHWA Stillwater Urban Area Boundary.
Dear Mr. Larson:
With the rushed review schedule of the urban area boundary in July and late
notice from \~ashington County Public Works of the Boundary Area Review meeting
July 24, the City of Stillwater did net have the opportunity to comment on the
proposed boundary. Since the County is essentially passing local government
comm~nt' on to the TAC it ~ppm~ ~nnrnpriate and timely for the Cit1 of
Stillwater to express our comments and concerns on the proposed urban area
boundary.
e
The City of Stillwater supports the Sti:1Water Urban Area Boundary developed
by the U.S. Census Bureau based on. the 1990 census and proposed for review by
the TAC. (See attached map.) The bounda('y is impol.tant to Sti llwater because
it is used to make fUrlding and highv/,j,'y design decisions regarding the Federal
highway program.
The City of Stillwater feels the proposed twenty year urban area boundary 15
appropriate for the following reasons:
According to Metropolitan Council's preliminary population forecasts
for Stillwate~, the City of Stillwater will grow by over 25% from 1990
to 2010 from 13,882 to 17,400.
Stillwater is more than 90% developed with essentially no vacant
land that has not been subdivided available for new development.
The City of Stillwater Comprehensive Plan defines the growth area for
the City as the area south of State Highway 96, east of County Road
15, n6rth of Trunk Highway 36 and the St. Croix River on the east. The
same as the proposed urban area boundary.

identifiable and rational; i.e. Highv-Jaj' 96, County Road 15 and Trunk
Hi ghvlay 36.
e
Roads that maybe constructed within the urban area boundary shou d
_ consider and plan for the future U\~ban development pattern and traff c
demands of the area.

Mr. Carl Ohrn of your staff has assured mE: the urban area designation is an
exercise or formality that is l^equired by FHWA but will have no relationship
to other regional land use or transpol"tation planning area~. Even with that
disclaimer or assurance~ that ess~ntia1ly the boundary has no effect for
Stillwater, it seems to make sense to establish a realistic local boundary
when possible. r feel this is possible by using the proposed urban area
boundary developed
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this matter and your consideration
of the City of Stillwaterls concerns.

e

Recessed Meeting
approved Case No. 29 and denied Case No. 30 because they are next to each
other and No. 29 had publicly declared their intentions first.
Duane Arndt, applicant for Case No. 30, 811 W. Pine St., stated he feels
that a Bed & Breakfast is an appropriate use of his large home. He has
resided at the house since 1971, has made a number of improvements to the
property, would have adequate parking, would offer breakfasts only to
guests and he did not know the Graybills, Case No. 29, were filing for a
Bed & Breakfast.
Jon Graybill, applicant for Case No. 29, 801 W. Pine St., stated he & his
wife came to Stillwater two years ago looking for a town that would
support a Bed & Breakfast. Since they arrived and moved in, they have
communicated to their neighbors their intention of having a Bed &
Breakfast, inquired about their concerns and completed many renovations.
They have restored the house accurately. -
e
Elmer Foster, 805 W. Abbott St., stated he is opposed to any further
development of Bed & Breakfasts in Stillwater, but he further stated he
would support Mr. Arndt, whom he has known since 1971 and who has been an
asset to Stillwater. He recommended that the Council grant neither
license or to someone who has a track record, such as Mr. Arndt.
Tom Tierney, 717 W. Pine St., stated he lives to the east of the Graybills.
They came to all the neighbors for their approval. Both parties are
capable of having a B & B, but the Graybills made an effort to let
everybody know and filed a petition before the Arndts did. He supports
the Graybills.
Dorothy Foster, 805 W. Abbott St., stated some criticisms of the Graybills
decorating and that the Arndt1s home is in line with the River Town
Restoration plans.
Michelle Hueller, 722 W. Pine St., stated that both the Arndt's and
Graybill's have quality homes. The Graybills made an attempt to talk to
every single neighbor and their request was turned in first.
Christina Arndt, 811 W. Pine St., stated that the Graybills gave her the
impression they did not intend to stay very long in Stillwater and she was
surprised when they said they wanted a B & B. Mrs. Arndt and her husband
intend to stay in Stillwater.
Martha Hubbs, 626 No. Fourth St., clarified that she advised the Graybills
to inform the neighbors that they are going to have a B & B and she felt
this situation would not have happened if she had not done so. Also, she
e

e
is extremely offended at mudslinging -- that another person's decorating
should not be criticized.
Duane Hubbs, 626 No. Fourth St., stated he has not lived here for 21 years
and he finds most of the people in Stillwater friendly and is sorry to see
this kind of treatment. He said this is the beginning of a problem we
will be having in the B & B community. Perhaps Council should consider a
change to the ordinance. He recommended that the Council approve the
first B & B and the second one should be looked on as a variance
situation. He requested that the variance not be approved because enough
of these have been approved in the past.
Jeanne Crea Ulland, 903 W. Willard St., stated the Arndt's never said they
would start a B & Bland the Graybill's stated their intent from the
beginning.
Bob Kimbrel, 724 W. iOak St., stated he is new to Stillwater and interested
in the Heritage com~unity, and therefore, involved in the RTR. He
supports the Graybill's in their plans.
Mayor Abrahamson closed the public hearing.

Councilmember Farrell initiated discussion of the one hang-up of the
process, that being ithat the ordinance does not allow two B & B's within
three blocks and wh~ther or not the granting of a variance should be done.
Many of these permi~s have been granted because the City realizes that it
is expensive to keep up these fine homes and a B & B helps to offset this
cost. Variances ar~ granted for other things. They both could be granted
t on i g h t . :
Martha Hubbs, 626 Nq. Fourth St., stated there was a lot of objection to
two B & B's in clos~ proximity to each other.
Motion by CouncilmemberlFarrell, seconded by Councilmember Opheim to approve a

Rosemary Jensen, 91~ W. Churchill St., stated her house is next to the
driveway that will qome off Churchill St. She has lived there for 20
years, has put a lot of money into it and feels she is not getting any
protection from this expansion by the City. Her property is being
rendered worthless qnd a little more landscaping won't help her. The
hospital never nego~iated with her for purchase of her house. She noted
that Mr. & Mrs. Roger Harris, 905 W. Churchill St., own the other house
and are out of town~
Mark Wilson, Ass't.!Adminstrator of the Hospital, spoke about the process
of acquiring homes ~y the hospital. He stated the hospital would not pay
less than market value for a house and in the case of Ms. Jensen, there
must have been a miscommunication. They would resume negotiations with
her based on the appraised value of her home.
Continued discussion followed regarding contacting the Harris., reasons
for not expanding the whole complex south, the influence on the expansion
by the clinic move, and parking underneath the building.
Dorothy Scullen, 904 W. Churchill St., stated the parking lot will be next
to them and what is !going to happen to their house -- also the valuation
of their property? !She also does not like the entrance off Churchill St.
which will create tnaffic problems. 4It
Andra Patzoldt, living to the east of where the new parking will be off
Everett St., stated that this is a residential neighborhood and numerous
children use Washington Pk. and Lily Lake Pk. It surprises her that the
traffic people say there will be no impact on the neighborhood. She is
concerned about the ,quality of the neighborhood going down. Also there are
many trees that will be affected. She hopes the City will hold them to
the plan.
Greg Cunningham, li~ing in the house between the previous speaker and
where the parking lot is going to be, stated he can't get out of his
driveway in the morning now and his property values will go way down. He
is opposed to the expansion.

Kathleen Silva, 8131W. Churchill St., stated they were contacted by the
hospital and informed they would be updated regarding plans. They went on
vacation and everything was set. The fence will be one foot away from
their property line.' The hospital didn't give them much consideration.

Mr. Smith answered Her concerns and said they would be notified in the

JOINT MEETING WITH OAK PARK HEIGHTS CITY COUNCIL REGARDING
HIGHWAY 36 RECONSTRUCTION
e
Council met with the Oak Park Heights City Council, Mike
Louis of MN DOT, and concerned citizens regarding proposed
reconstruction of Highway 36.
Mayor O'Neal reported that the results of a recent survey
done by Oak Park Heights indicated that the majority of those
responding to the survey prefer staging of the construction.
MN DOT Project Manager Mike Louis stated that MN DOT is
hoping for a consensus from Stillwater and Oak Park Heights
regarding the reconstruction. Mr. Louis updated the
Councils on the staging plans. He also addressed some of the
issues involved in the decision to build a new bridge. The
Highway 36 plans are contingent upon the new bridge being
built.
Mr. Carufel suggested that the Greeley/Oakgreen Intersection
be reconstructed as an interchange as a first step in the
staging process.
Mr. Louis asked that both cities adopt resolutions supporting
either the staging process or the complete reconstruction
plan. Both Councils were generally supportive of the staging
approach, but took no formal action at this time.

PLANNING APPLICATION REVIEW
~ CASE NO. SUP/92-32
Planning Commission Meeting: July 13, 1992
Project Location: 919 West Anderson Street
w~ .,,.~~
Comprehensive Plan District: Residential
Zoning District: RB, Duplex Residential, RA Single Family Residential
Applicant's Name: Lakeview Memorial Hospital
Type of Application: Special Use Permit
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Construction of a 40,969 square foot addition to the existing hospital and
added parking.
DISCUSSION:
The request is to add 40,969 square feet of floor space to Lakeview Memorial
Hospital. The addition extends the hospital to the north eighty feet (main
entrance) and to the west seventy feet (emergency entrance). Three residences
fronting on Churchill Street would be removed to allow for reconfiguration and
expansion of the front parking area. Two residences just west of the corner of
South Everett and Churchill Streets would remain.
e The need for and purpose of the hospital expansion is detailed in the attached
application project submittal information. As a result of the expansion, the
main medical center entrance would be relocated from Everett Street to
Churchill Street, 230 feet from the Greeley/Churchill Street intersection.
A 117 car parking lot for clinic and hospital visitor parking would be
construction between the north hospital expansion and Churchill Street. A new
52 car parking lot is proposed. Two residences on the east side of Everett
Street across from the clinic would be removed to allow for the construction
of the lot. New landscaping, lighting and new signage plans are proposed for
the medical center (see attached plans). The design of the addition and
material proposed are consistent with the existing structure.
SETTING
The hospital campus site is zoned single family residential and duplex
residential. (See zoning map.) Besides the hospital, the existing land use in
the area is primarily single family. To the south lays a wooded sloped area
and Brick Pond. To the west is Greeley Street, single family residences and
Lily Lake. To the north is Washington Park, and single family residences, and
to the east s ingl e family and one dup lex. (See ex isting 1 and use map.)
A hospital use is allowed in the Single Family and Duplex Zoning District with
a Special Use Permit. The Special Use Permit review is to ensure the
non-residential use is compatible with the residential qualities of the area.
e
1
,
'"
Because of the extensive nature of the improvement, the entire medical campus
is reviewed. tn~he past, minor additions or temporary parking expansion have
been approved without comprehensive review. e
ANALYSIS I
The proposal is to add 40,900 square feet to the existing hospital. The
addition will better or~anize the entrances to the clinic and hospital and
redirect hospital trlaffic to Churchill Street from Everett and Greeley
Streets. With the removal of the three residences on Churchill, the area of
primary impact are the remaining two residences on the corner of Churchill and
Everett." Mature vegetation setbacks and topographic help buffer the two
residences from the me~ical use. Other proposed changes include relocating and
expanding the emergenqy entrance over West Anderson Street (proposed for
vacation) off of Gree1ey. This will bring the emergency entrance 150 feet
closer to Greeley Stree~. The hospital/clinic entrance off of Everett Street
is also being redesigned to provide clear access to the clinic/hospital areas.
I
PARKING
According to the Zonling Ordinance, the parking requirements for the
clinic/hospital use is i289 spaces. The proposal is for 320 on site and 52
emp 1 oyee spaces across ]the Everett Street for a total of 372 spaces (according
to the site plan). The ~roposed parking exceeds the requirements for the use
by 83 spaces. I
The parking lot on thJ east side of Everett Street expands the hospital use
into a residence blOCk.ITWO residents directly to the east of the 52 space
lot, located ten and qfteen feet from the property 1 ine, would be impacted by
the parking use. This frlee-standing parking lot use can be allowed by the City _
if setback requirement~ are met and adequate provisions are made to buffer the _
use from the residentiali uses.
I
I
The plans for the lot ~hows 22 foot tall lights located along the east parking
lot boundary. It is recQmmended that pedestrian scale lighting be required for
this lot, maximum 12 f~et tall, and a six foot high solid board fence be built
one foot from the easit property boundary to screen the lot from the
residences. .
A survey of the lot showing the location of existing trees was not available
for this review. To the ~aximum extent, existing trees buffering the lot from
the residences and strieet should be maintained and the parking lot fit into
the site. No grading or Idrainage plan has been submitted for this lot.
The 117 stall parking Ilot southeast of the Greeley/Churchill intersection is
proposed as the major viisitor parking lot for the hospital. The elevation of
the site rises in a sdutheasterly direction from the intersection to the
hospital. To accommodatei the topography, a retaining wall is proposed for the
corner of Churchill anld Greeley. Besides retaining the parking lot, the wall
would be used for the ma~or medical center sign and directional signage for
the clinic/hospital anld emergency entrance. Four existing trees, two maples
one thirty inch diamet~r, and two locust trees are located in the setback
proposed landscaped are~.
It is difficult to deltermine from the landscape plan if those trees are a
retained but it is recbmmended that the trees, particularly the 30 maple _
2
-
remain and be incorporated into the landscape plan. A detention pond is
located in the area and may have to be modified to keep the tree.
Other existing trees (two 26", two 22" and one 25" trees) are located further
south along Greeley Street in the bermed landscaped area. These trees should
also be retained. A 27" maple located just south of the driveway areas off
Greeley will be removed for the building addition.
The gravel parking lot paralleling Greeley Street will be reconfigured to
accommodate the bui 1 ding additi on and paved. It is recommended that ad di t i on a 1
bushes be added to the existing evergreen hedge to better contain car lights
on site.
A second Staff parking lot is locate.d to the south of the hospital. A chain
link fence is positioned along the east side of the lot. (along the rear
property line of residences located on Everett). It appears the owner of the
residence has built a wood fence to screen the parking lot use from the
residence. It is recommended that English Ivy, or some other vine, be planted
to cover the chain link fence. Evergreens should also be planted on the east
side of the fence to screen car lights during winter months.
No major changes are proposed for the 107 stall parking lot located west of
Everett. A review of the lot landscaping indicates that additional understory
plantings would better screen the residence immediately to the south of the
lot from parking lot Street trees should be planted between the lot and
Everett Street.
e
Further to the south along Everett Street directly in front of the clinic,
several trees - eight inch, eight inch, seven inch, twenty two inch and three
five inch are shown on the site survey. It is not clear if they are maintained
in the landscape plan. It is recommended the existing trees be maintained.
LIGHTING
New lighting is proposed for all parking areas. The light'standards are a
box-type fixture on a twenty foot pole with a two foot tall concrete footing.
This standard height is similar to other non-residential uses in a residential
district. The lens of the proposed fixture is flush with the box enclosure to
reduce glare.
A light intensity plan for the proposed parking lot lighting was provided as a
part of the plan (not included with Staff report). A standard used for
evaluating parking lot lighting in residential districts requires that
lighting not exceed .5 horizontal foot candles at the property line and 1.0
horizontal foot candles at the street right-of-way line. Lights should be
located or cut off so that the light source (glare) is not visible from
adjacent properties.
The following conditions or performance standards are recommended as part of
project approval:
1. Lighting intensity at residential property boundaries should not exceed
.5 foot candles horizontal.
e
3
~
2. Lighting at the street shall not exceed 1.0 foot candles horizontal,
except at parking lot entrances. ~
3. Maximum twelve foot tall pedestrian scale light fixture shall be
allowed in parki~g lot east of Everett.
4. Glare from the light source shall not be visible from the street or
adjacent residential properties.
TRASH MANAGEMENT
Currently, two unscreened trash receptacles are located on the emergency
entrance (west) side ofjthe building. A trash area should be located and
structure constructed of materials similar to the building to screen the area.

RE: Stillwater, Minnesota
City Engineer
Planning Case Review
Lakeview Hospital Expansion
Planning Case No. SUP 92-32
Mr. Steve Russell,
Community Development Director
City of Stillwater
216 North Fourth Street
Stillwater, Minnesota 55082
Dear Mr. Russell:
Pursuant to your request, we have reviewed the preliminary plans for the Lakeview
Hospital expansion. We received a preliminary utility plan and a site plan and assume
that detailed construction plans will be forthcoming.
We need additional information for drainage to complete our review. The information
needed is as follows:
1. Pond outlet details showing outlet elevation, pipe grade, etc.
2. Detailed site drainage calculations which include pond peak discharge rate, live
and dead storage volumes, overflow route and elevation.
3. A detailed site erosion control plan. This plan should consider using the storm
water detention basin as a sediment basin during construction. It will also have to
include removing any sediment deposited in this area during construction before
the final project is completed. We have transmitted this information to the
archi teet's engineers also.
The sanitary sewer revisions appear to be adequate. The proposal is to abandon an
existing 10 inch sanitary sewer which is located in the 'present Anderson Street right-of-
way. This right-of-way traverses the middle of the site. The architect proposes to abandon
the 10 inch between Everett Street and the westerly edge of the hospital addition. It is not
clear from the plan that we have whether the existing 10 inch sanitary sewer between the
west limits of the hospital addition and Greeley Street will be maintained. Also, it is not
clear how the sanitary service to the hospital addition will be constructed. As part of the
abandonment, the architect proposes to relay approximately 65 feet of sanitary sewer

from an existing manhole iat Anderson and Everett Street which presently is located over
the sanitary line flowing t~ the west. The new 8 inch PVC will be connected to a manhole
north of this intersection. However, the preliminary plan does indicate a 0.4% grade for
the 8 inch PVC which is in: accordance with design standards. We will need more detailed
information on the cut ~ of the existing sanitary sewer on Everett Street and the
abandonment of the existing 10 inch on the Anderson Street right-of-way. There is an
existing forcemain which discharges into the existing manhole north bf the intersection of
Everett Street and Anderson Street which needs to be protected during construction. The
architect should furnish tIte City with details for the protection of this forcemain.
We have also reviewed the watermain with the Water Board. Since there are two different
pressure systems involved, the watermain cannot be connected together between the
dead end on Greeley S~eet and the watermain on Anderson Street. Water Board
personnel have worked ~th the architect's engineer to provide a method of connection
near Greeley Street which twill provide the possibility of utilizing both systems if required
in the future and not be a problem for the two different pressure zones.
i
To provide for looping Of the watermain, it is necessary to construct a new 6 inch
watermain in the west boulevard of Everett Street and make a connection at both
Anderson Street and Churchill Street. We recommend the City require jacking a casing
pipe across Churchill StreEet to minimize traffic interruption and disturbance of the street
surface. An open excavatipn will have to be provided for the wet tap into the watermain
on the north side of Churchill Street.
It appears that the drain~ge on the parking lots is in conformance with our original
discussions with the archi~ect's engineer and is in conformance with City standards. We
recommend that we be p~ovided with construction plans and specifications to review
before final approval. We I will coordinate this review with Public Works and the Water
Board. !
If you have any qtiestionsl please de not hesitate to contact the undersigned.

RE: STILLWATER, MINNESOTA
HOSPITAL EXPANSION
SEH FILE NO. 92280
Mr. Steve Russell
Community Development Director
City of Stillwater
216 North Fourth Street
Stillwater, Minnesota 55082-4898
Dear Mr. Russell:
I have been asked by City Engineer Dick Moore to review the need
for additional public right-of-way on the south side of Churchill
Street east of Greeley Street, and on the east side of Greeley
street south of Churchill Street.
It
The intersection of Greeley Street/Churchill Street as
presently exists, can accommodate two approach lanes to
intersection from all directions. Because this is a
intersection, that number of approach lanes should suffice
the future traffic capacity needs of the intersection.
it
the
"T"
for
As the traffic volumes at the intersection increase, the City may
find it necessary to improve the radius on the southeast corner
of the intersection (adjacent to the hospital improvement
proj ect ) to accommodate bus traffic without infringement onto
adj acent travel lanes. To accomplish this and maintain area
within the right-of-way for sidewalk, it is necessary to obtain a
28-foot isosceles triangle piece of right-of-way as shown on the
attached drawing.
If you have any questions with regard to this recommendation or
wish further discussion, please contact me at 490-2072.

1. BWBR reviewed the overall project giving a brief explanation for expansion needs and
site conditions in relation to their surrounding community.
2. BWBR stated that the Hospital and the architects have no problem meeting the
conditions of approval as recommended by the City Planning Commission, with the
exception of retaining the 30" maple at the comer of West Churchill and Greeley Street

3. BWBR stated that due to the requirement for an on-site water retention pond there are
three options in relation to the maple tree:
Option 1 - leave the retaining pond in the 3D' setback, the maple tree in its present
location, and elongate the retaining pond further to the south. The disadvantage with this
option is that this would decrease the berming on the site that blocks visibility to the
parking lot for the neighbors on the east side of Greeley Street.
Option 2 - the retention pond could be located in the portion of the 1 17th stall parldng lot
and the tree in question would remain. The disadvantage with this scheme is that it
would be necessary to contain all the water in the parking lot. The retaining wall in the
northwest comer would have to increase in height from 4 1/2' to approximately 9'. There
is also a possibility that during high periods of rain, the cars in that portion of the parldng
lot could be standing in a foot or more of water.
Option 3 - to remove the maple tree and add several other trees to the east and the south
of the area indicated for the pond as presently shown on the plans.
e
BWBR and the Hospital feel that Option 3 is the most viable option. There are no
guarantees that a maple tree the age of that tree will withstand constnlction around it. In
addition, the City Traffic Engineer's requirement for increasing the radius of the comer
could disturb the root stnlcture of the tree and cause it to die. It also limits visibility of
the Hospital from a prominent intersection and would limit visibility of the main signage
wall.
4. As stated in the Traffic Engineer's report it will be necessary to increase the radius of the
QlUrchill and Greeley Street intersection. This is to eliminate the problem of buses
passing over the center line when they turn onto Churchill Street.
5. Concern was voiced by the owner of one of the two houses north of the St. Croix Valley
Oinic as to the close proximity of the main entrance to her home. It was also stated that
there was disappointment with the Oty Council not taking into consideration the
property values of these two remaining homes. The home owner was questioned as to
whether the Hospital approached her with the possibility of selling her property. It was
stated that negotiations were started last summer and unfortunately not completed or
resolved There was a recommendation that the Hospital and the home owners reopen~negotiations for the Hospital to acquire the two homes located on north of the Oinic on
the comer of Everett and Churchill Streets.
6. The property owners adjacent to the 52 stall parking lot on Everett Street expressed
concern as to why the Hospital was locating the staff parking adjacent to their property.
7. There was some concern that a piece of property the Hospital had purchased on the north
side of Churchill Street would be used for future parldng. However. it was stated that the
e

NOTES OF STILLWATER CITY COUNCIL MEETING

e
Hospital has no intentions of using this lot in the future for parking, it was simply a
convenient time to acquire the property.
8. There was some concern as to whether or not helicopters would be landing on this site.
It was stated that helicopters will not be landing anywhere in the Hospital proximity and
if necessary, they will be landing on the parldng lot in the recreational area by Lily Lake.
9. There was some concerns as to why the number of parldng stalls proposed in the
expansion and the number of parking stalls required by the Qty differs so greatly. It was
stated that the Hospital and the architects felt that, based on previous experience, the City
requirements for Hospital parldng were not stringent enough and there was actually a
need for more parldng than that required by the local ordinances.
10. It was recommended that the Hospital contain its parking to the Hospital block and that
the 52 stall parking lot proposed for the east side of Everett Street not be built at this
time and those residents left remaining.
11. The Hospital will begin negotiations again with the property owners for the two homes at
the intersection of Everett and West Churchill Street It is the intention that there would
be some resolution to this issue by the August 18 Board Meeting.
e
12. There was no resolution to the issue of the 30" maple tree.
13. Because of the outstanding issues with the approval of the Hospital expansion, it was
suggested that the process be re-evaluated and further action be taken into consideration
for the August 18 City Council meeting.
14. The request for vacation of easements was approved.
The above constitutes BWBR's understanding of this meeting. If there are any comments,
questions, or additions to these meeting notes, please notify the architects immediately.

PLANNING APPLICATION REVIEW
e CASE NO. V/92-37
Planning Commission Meeting: August 10, 1992
Project Location: 126 North Harriet Street
Comprehensive Plan District: Two Family
Zoning District: RB
Applicant's Name: Barbara and John Bjorkman
Type of Application: Variance
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
A variance to the sideyard setback requirements on a corner lot (20 feet
minimum required, approximately 5 feet proposed) and to the rearyard setback
requirements (5 feet required, 2 feet, 6 inches requested) for the
construction of a garage.
e
DISCUSSION:
The request is to replace an existing 432 square foot garage with a 672 square
foot garage. The lot is quite narrow at 43 feet. The proposed garage length
is 26 feet which leaves a 10 foot sideyard to the south of the garage and
approximately five (5) feet north of the garage to the property line. However,
there is 20 feet from the garage to the street which would accommodate a
parked car. Rice Street has no sidewalks but it is a "quiet" street without
intensive traffic.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL:
1. The west wall shall have a one-hour fire rating.
2. The applicant shall secure all building permits.
3. All drainage from the structure shall not drain on adjacent private
properties.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval as conditioned.
FINDINGS:
The granting of the variance will be in harmony with the general purpose and
intent of the Zoning Ordinance and will not be injurious to the neighborhood
or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare.

2496 Hidden Valley Lane
Re: Variance Request
It is_o~r desire to build an addition onto our existing home
at 2496 Hrdden Valley Lane. Our plans include the addition
of a single story attached family room and an attached third
car garage. A detailed diagram of the lot and first floor
layout of the existing house is provided for your inspection
in figure 1. Our plans for the addition are shown in figure
2. Three photographs of the existing structure are also
provided.
We understand our plans are in conflict with a city code.
requiring a 30 foot setback of an enclosed structure from
the sidewalk along Sunrise Avenue. (see figures 1 & 2). Our
proposed addition would require the west side of our house
to be 20 feet from the sidewalk, 28 feet from the Sunrise
Street curb.
We have given considerable thought to accomplishing our
needs and desires in housing in many ways over the past
several months. While we initially contemplated building a
new home, our ties and roots to the neighborhood have
focused our goals on an addition to our present house.
These plans are extremely dependent upon our ability to
access another 10 feet of our lot.
Regarding the proposed addition, we note the following;
1) The new addition, extending only 10 feet further west
than the present structure, will be 20 feet from the street
side of the Sunrise sidewalk, 28 feet from the Sunrise curb.
We believe our lot (nominally 120'x150') can easily support
this addition without appearing "inappropriate" for the lot
size. Furthermore, this addition will not obstruct the view
of traffic approaching from the north on Sunrise or the east
on Hidden Valley Lane. (see fig. 1 & photo 1&2) Photograph 1
shows the existing house. The concrete slab next to the
garage is also visible. The third car garage will extend 10
feet over this slab which is presently 12 feet wide.
We note that our plans for a family room addition are
relatively common in the Croixwood neighborhood but because
we occupy a corner lot, we are confronted with a "set back"
provision most others are not. We also note two examples of
third car garages located at 2618 Hidden Valley Lane and
2127 Oakridge Road.
.
2) Given the existing floor plan, the proposed addition is
the only logical design accommodating traffic flow within
the house. For i~stance, construction on the east side of
the house would r~sult in the loss of the study utility, as
traffic would routinely have to flow through this room.
Furthermore, construction on the east side of the house
would result in a! large loss of backyard and garden space.
3) The proposed f~mily room will be constructed on what is
n9w a_co~~rete pa io slab enclosed by a privacy fence. (see
figure 2 and phot 2 and 3). This is the only design which
will minimize the loss of "backyard space and trees."
Indeed, we would ose very little lawn area.
e
4) The third car stall would provide us needed storage
space which would I otherwise have to be accomplished by a
separate shed str$cture. These sheds are common in
Croixwood but ofttn unsightly.
5) The addition, involving considerable expense, will be
finished in a man,er consistent with the existing house and
will include five I six-foot sections of double hung windows
providing a tasteful exterior appearance to the family room
addition. I
6) The addition, ~hile not representing a shrewd financial
investment for usl will enhance the value of the immediate
neighborhood conslderably and represents a long term
commitment to thi! neighborhood.
We hope that we h ve provided you with enough information to
consider our requ!st for a variance and we hope that you'll
agree and allow u~ to proceed with this construction.

PLANNING APPLICATION REVIEW
CASE NO. V/92-40
Planning Commission Meeting Date: August 10, 1992
Project Location: 2496 Hidden Valley Lane
Comprehensive Plan District Single Family
Zoning District: RA
Type of Application: Variance
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
A variance to the sideyard setback requirement for a garage and family room
addition on a corner lot.
DISCUSSION:
The request is to construct a 532 square foot family room addition and an
additional garage to an existing home in Croixwood. Homes in the Croixwood
development have established setbacks because it is a newer subdivision in the
community. It is not like older areas in Stillwater which were developed
previous to zoning regulations. The proposal moves into this established
setback at this location as does the sidewalk. The applicant has shown the
sidewalk within the setback area. The actual setback is sixteen feet.
The development would not impair traffic at the corner of Sunrise Avenue and
Hidden Valley Lane.
The applicants could maintain a detached accessory structure in their
rearyard. They could also reorientate the family room addition ten feet into
the rearyard area of the property instead of the sideyard and still meet all
setback requirements.
RECOMMENDATION:
Denial.
FINDINGS:
The granting of this variance is not necessary for the reasonable use of the
land and structure. The established setbacks could be maintained.
ATTACHMENT:
- Application Package.
PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
Denial.

We have seen the plans the Krauses have for buIldIng a 3rd
car garage and family room onto their existing home. We
understand their plans are in conflIct with the city code
requiring a 30 foot setback of an enclosed structure from
the side~alk as their plans will leave a 20 foot setback
from the sidewalk. We have no objection to their plans.

PLANNING APPLICATION REVIEW
~ CASE NO. SUP/92-41
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING: August 10, 1992
PROJECT LOCATION: 319 West Pine Street
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DISTRICT: Two Family Residential
Zoning District: RB
APPLICANT'S NAME: Bruce and Victoria Brillhart
TYPE OF APPLICATION: Special Use Permit
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
A Special Use Permit request to conduct special events (small weddings,
receptions~ meetings, etc.) in a residential structure presently used as a Bed
and Breakfast.
e
DISCUSSION:
The request is to conduct special events such as small weddings, receptions,
meetings, etc. in a large home presently used as a Bed and Breakfast
establishment. These types of events are specifically listed on the attached
description. The Ann Bean Home is quite a large home and is in the process of
being restored to its original grandeur. The Fire Department has reviewed each
room which will be used for these gatherings. They include the parlor, dining
room, and library. The maximum occupancy load for the structure is 65 persons.
Staff recommends this be reduced to 40 persons because of the residential
nature of this area.
The parking demand based on the definition of assembly halls, is thirteen
parking spaces for forty persons. St. Mary's Church has agreed to work with
the owners to accommodate their needs for additional parking. The existing
parking on the Ann Bean site can only accommodate enough cars for the Bed and
Breakfast. There could be on-street parking on Pine Street ~d Sixth Street if
necessary. This depends on the feelings of the neighbors. The applicants have
also stated that the trolley may be used as service to the home from Downtown
parking lots. The new North Main Street parking lot could be used for this
additional parking. Parking lots in the South Main area could not be used
because of the present demand.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL: See attached.
RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
FINDINGS:
The proposed use will not be injurious to the neighborhood or otherwise
detrimental to the public welfare.

On July 8, 1992, George Ness and myself measured the three rooms that
you intend to use under a special use permit. These measurements were
necesary to determine the occupant load allowable for each room to be
used. I discussed the load factor with Allen Zepper the Stillwater
Building Official and he decided that we will use 15 square feet per
person as your load. factor. The results are as follows:
e
Parlour: approx. 432 Sq. Ft. = 29 persons
Dining Room: approx. 252 Sq. Ft. = 17 persons
Library: approx. 289 oq. Ft. = 19 persons

Dear tlembers of the Stillwater City Council,
i
The owers of ~he .Ann Bean House at 319 Pine Street recently
applied to you for la small gathering permit and wine license. I
understand some areal residents are petitioning against the permits.
Their main concerns apparently are parking preblems, alcohol
conslunption, and noi$e.
I h8."'ile been a r!esident at 428 South Sixth Street for one lllonth
less than five years. The house at 319 Pine Street has been a
neglected eight-plex! for :most of this ti:me. Its resident I scars,
most of tbem junkers!, were parked all along Sixth and Pine Streets
day and night. Theyi would come and go at all hours. I was often
awe.kened by car doo~s sla:m:m.ing and loud conversations during the
night. Shrubs went $tri:m:m.ed and the grass grew long. The building
was not a desirable neighbor.
The new OvITlers of 319 Pine Street have been working hard to not
only clean up but restore their building, and it has become an asset
to the neighborhood; Their bed and breakfast business has never
caused me any inconvenience. I have spoken with the owers and they
have told me of their arra.ngements with St. l1arys f or use of the
cburcb pa.rking lot. All gatberings would end at tbe respectable bour
of 10: 00 pm and they have no intention of serv'ing hard liquor. I
8.1so understand that their gatherings will be limited to forty
persons.
I am in favor of your grallting the permits.

July 29, 1992
My name is Linda Reichow, and I am writing this letter to request
a special use permit to operate a small-scale hair salon in my
home at 643 Wildwood Lane, Stillwater. I have been in this line
of business for 13 years. Formally I was employed by Cusa de
Pelo Hair Salon in North Hudson, Wisconsin for 7 years. I also
participated in the management of this business. I was the
Owner and Manger of Reflections Hair Salon in Stillwater for 4-
1/2 years. I decided to sellout and stay home after my third
child was born. For the past 2-1/2 years I have been home with
the children.
I would like to begin working again on a part-time basis only.
Because of the children's schedules with school, I would like to
work in my home. I would like to have a salon with only one
chair to be used by only myself. There would be no other
employees. I ~~ould like to open the business only 1-2 days per
week. This would mean that I would have approximately 8-12
clients per week. .There wouldnever be more than one car in my
driveway at a time and hopefully some of my clients would be
neighbors, so there would be no cars to park. There would be no
signs advertising my business and I plan to operate it under the
name of Linda Reichow. I feel that there would be no adverse
effect on the neighborhood because of the size of the business
and I also feel that the neighbors could benefit from this
service within walking distance. The services I would offer are
haircuts, permanent waves, and hair coloring.
I hope you would consider granting me this application. It would
allow me to continue my career, but at the same time I could be
there for my children. I have included with my application
signatures of all the residents who are part of the Wildwood
Pines 4th Addition. There seems to be no objections from the
neighbors.
Thank you for viewing this application.
Sincerely,
Linda Reichow

PLANNING APPLICATION REVIEW
CASE NO. V/92-43
Planning Commission Meeting: August 10, 1992
Project Location: 719 South Third Street
Comprehensive Plan District: Two Family Residential
Zoning District: RB
Applicant's Name: William A. Bentzin
Type of Application: Variance
PROJECT LOCATION:
A variance to the rearyard setback requirements (five feet required,
approximately one foot proposed) and to the sideyard setback requirements
(five feet required, approximately one foot proposed) for the construction of
a 576 square foot garage on an existing foundation.
DISCUSSION:
The request is to construct a garage on the previous site of a garage which
was removed within the past five years. This location is appropriate because
it lines with the existing driveway. The applicant has stated he would like to
build a porch on the rear of his home. Moving the garage toward the front of
his property would not be feasible for access into the rear of the house.
No special building requirements are needed for this development (except of
course, a building permit).
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL:
1. All drainage shall remain on site.
2. The applicant shall secure all building permits.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval.
FINDINGS:
The granting of this variance is reasonable for the use of the property.

719 S. 3rd Street
Stillwater, MN 55082
July 30, 1992
City Council/Planning Commission
City of Stillwater
216 N. 4th Street.
Stillwater, MN 55082
Dear People:
I would like to request a variance to build a garage on the site of the previous
garage location at 719 S. 3rd Street, an old Victorian home which we
purchased on May 28, 1992. This garage will be very close to the lot line
between 719 S. Third Street and 715 S. Third Street. The previous garage
fell down several years ago.
The main reason we would like this variance is to provide a backing around
area so it will be much easier and safer for visitors (and for us) to exit from
the driveway onto busy Third Street. Further complicating safe backing out
of the driveway is a growth of shrubs the length of the driveway between our
home and the home at 715 South Third Street making it difficult to see
traffic coming from the north while backing out. Turning around in the back
yard and driving out straight ahead will be much easier.
In looking to the future, there is another reason why we would like to build
the garage as far back and to the left on our lot as we can. We are hoping to
add an old Victorian style porch on the back of the house eventually, and
when we do this the turn around area will be reduced, meaning we really
need to snug the garage back onto the lot as far as we can at this time, so
turn around can be accomplished in the future.
2 - City Council! Planning Commission letter, 7/30/92
We plan to build a an ~ttractive two-car Victorian style garage in a design
that will match the exterior of our house. I am including a picture of my
home and my copy of the plans for the garage. The garage plan is not
completely fmished, since we plan to add a few more design elements that
will help make the garage even more closely match the house design. I
would like to pick up both of these items when you have finished with them.
I have talked with Mark Feely who lives at 715 South Third Street. He is the
main party affected by this building, and his family supports our desire to
build a two-car garage on the previous site. As you will see from my very
rough drawing, his garage already is quite close to the lot line between our
homes, however he does not regard this as a problem, nor do I.
Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this variation
request. Thanks for Y1ur help.

Time:
7:00 p.m.
Members Present: Gerald Fontaine, Chairman
Angela Anderson, Glenna Bealka, Duane Elliott,
Rob Hamlin, Don Valsvik, and Darwin Wald
Steve Russell, Comm. Dev. Director
Ann Pung-Terwedo, Planner
Absent: Gene Bealka and Gary Funke
APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Motion by Duane Elliott, seconded by Glenna Bealka to approve the
minutes of July 13, 1992, as submitted. All in favor.
PUBLIC HEARINGS
Case No. V/92-37 - A Variance to the sideyard . setback
requirements on a corner lot (twenty feet minimum required,
approximately ten feet requested) and to rearyard setback
requirements (two feet, six inches requested, five feet required)
for the construction of a garage. The property is located at 126
North Harriet Street in the RB, Two Family Residential District.
John and Barbara Bjorkman, owners of the property, presented the
request. They noted that the correct length of the proposed
garage is 26 feet rather than 28, which would place the garage 12
feet from the side property line rather than 10 feet. 'The garage
will be placed three feet from the rear property line because the
neighbor's garage is directly on the property line and the eaves
hang over onto the Bjorkman property.
There are three recommended conditions of approval. Duane
Elliott noted that Condo No. 1 should specify the WEST wall as
the rear wall. Condo No.3 should read: All drainage from the
structure shall discharge onto Rice Street.

Case No. V/92-38 - A Variance to the front yard setback
requirements for an existsing carport (thirty feet required,
twenty four feet requested) at 1107 North Martha Street in the
RB, Two Family Residential District.
Helen Murtha, owner, presented the request. She stated that the
attached garage was converted into a family room. The two-car

stillwater Planning Commission

garage at the rear of the property is used only for storage
because the length of the driveway makes the garage useless in
the winter. The applicant stated that the carport is 26 feet from
the curb, but she does not know where the property line is.
Mr. Elliott stated that it would be difficult to take any action
without knowing the proper measurements. The Commission agreed.
Motion by Rob Hamlin, seconded by Don Valsvik to continue Case
No. V/92-38 to the September meeting in order for the applicant
to verify where the front property line is. All in favor.
Case No. V/92-39 - A Variance to the sideyard setback require-
ments (twenty feet req~ired, ten feet requested) for a 390 square
foot addition to an e~isting structure at 102 North Third Street
in the PA, Public Admi~istrative Office District.
Jim Christenson of the Postal Service real estate office,
presented the request. The plan is to provide additional
restroom capacity. The existing hedge will be replaced and the
trash container will be enclosed.
.
There was discussion ~f vehicles exiting onto Myrtle Street from
the parking lot, and of the collection boxes on Myrtle Street.
Motion by Rob Hamlin,: seconded by Glenna Bealka to approve the
Variance request with two conditons. All in favor.
Case No. V/92-40 - A V~riance to the sideyard setback requirement
for a garage and fami~y room addition for a corner lot (thirty
feet required, twenty feet proposed) at 2496 Hidden V~lley Lane
in the RA, Single Fami~y Residential District.
Larry and Sandra Kraus$, owners, presented the application. Mr.
Krause stated that th~ covenants for the neighborhood allow 20
foot setbacks. Steve Russell stated that City zoning regulations
still apply and are mo~e restrictive. In the RA District, a 30
foot setback is requir~d.
The Krauses stated tMat the corner lot is probably larger than
most lots in Croixwoqd and asked what damage would be done by
allowing the variance. Rob Hamlin stated that the City has
established rules, and that variances in Croixwood are more
difficult because of ~he consistency of the setbacks. Also, a
hardship has not been ~roven in this case.
Mrs. Krause stated that the addition to the home would result in
an increase in property value, and that would be prevented by a
lack of a variance. Mr. Krause stated that the addition is
planned for the only logical space. A detached structure would
take up garden space. ! He said that the neighborhood is maturing
and needs to change.

tt Mr. Elliott questioned why the garage could not be oriented to
Sunrise Avenue.
Motion by Duane Elliot to deny the Variance request. Seconded by
Angela Anderson. All in favor.
Case No. SUP/92-41 - A Special Use Permit to conduct special
events (small weddings, receptions, meetings, etc.) in a
residential structure presently used as a Bed and Breakfast
establishment. The home is located at 319 West Pine Street in
the RB, Two Family Residential District.
Bruce and Victoria Brillhart, owners, presented the.application.
They stated that the home is very large and can accomodate these
special ~vents. They have agreements with St. Mary's Church to
provide parking and with the Rivertown Trolley to provide parking
and transportation for their patrons if necessary.
tt
Jeff Peterson, 320 W. Pine, stated that he lives with his
grandmother, Mrs. Jewell, across from the Bed and Breakfast and
has some concerns regarding parking and traffic on Pine Street.
He is also concerned about distrupting activities and
commercialization in a residential area, about alcohol use at the
events, and about property values. He stated that the B&B use is
a minimal activity, but this request is for a commercial
activity. The Brillharts stated that they have always been
responsible to the neighborhood and will continue to be.
There are 14 recommended conditions of approval. Mr. Brillhart
asked that condition No. 12 be amended to read Bruce OR Victoria
will be on site during all special events. Condo No.9 was also
changed to read: No amplified music or entertainment' shall be
allowed.
Motion by Glenna Bealka to approve the Special Use Permit with 14
conditions as amended. Seconded by Darwin Waldo Discussion:
Chairman Fontaine questioned the basis on which this request is
being approved, in order to avoid setting a precedent. Mr.
Russell stated that the site can accomodate the use, parking is
not a problem, and the use fits the situation. Also, the B&B
license is unique to its owners. The vote was taken: All in
favor.
Case No. SUP/92-42 - A Special Use Permit to conduct a Beauty
Salon business in a residential structure at 643 Wildwood Lane in
the RA, Single Family Residential District.
Linda Reichow, owner, presented the application. She stated that
her business will be very small; probably one day per week to
start. Her business will grow by word of mouth only. She will
have no employees. She will have a state license and will abide
by state law requirements, including malpractice insurance.

Motion by Duane Elliott, seconded by Darwin Wald to approve the
Special Use Permit with four conditions. All in favor.
Case No. V/92-43 - A Variance to the rearyard setback require-
ments (five feet required, approx. one foot proposed) and to the
sideyard setback requirements (five feet required, approx. one
foot proposed) for the construction of a 576 square foot garage
on an existing foundation. The property is located at 719 South
Third Street in the RB, Two Family Residential District.
Mr. and Mrs. William A. Bentzin, owners, presented the
application. They plan to use the existing foundation to build a
two-car garage in the same architectural style as the home. They
also plan on eventually adding a Victorian porch on the back of
the home. The neighbor to the immediate north approves of the
plan.
The Chairman questioned how the garage will be maintained when
it is so close to the property line. It was also questioned
whether a hardship wa~ shown. Mr. Hamlin suggested the owners
prepare a scale drawin~ to show why the garage would fit in only
this location.
e
Motion by Duane Elliott to deny the variance request based upon
there being no hardship shown. Seconded by Glenna Bealka. Motion

Duane Hubbs stated that there is an intensification of the B&B
use locally. He feels the function of the ordinance should be to
preserve and maintain historic homes. The numbers of rooms
should be based on the size of the home. Chuck Dougherty stated
that health permits, insurance, and fire inspections should be
part of the ordinance.
Mr. Russell suggested that the Historic Preservation Commission
be asked to look at the current ordinance to see how their
purposes can be achieved through the ordinance.
Duane Hubbs suggested that a group be established consisting of
people from the Planning Commission, HPC, and B&B owners to look
at the issues and make recommendations.
Motion by Rob Hamlin to form a study committee comprised of HPC,
B&B owners, Planning Commission, and City staff. Seconded by
Darwin Waldo All in favor.
Angela and Darwin from the Planning Commission, and Duane, Chuck,
and Bruce from the B&B owners, volunteered as ,committee members.

CITY PLANNING REVIEW OF DOWNTOWN PROJECTS.
There are several Downtown, or Downtown related, projects that are in various
stages of planning or project review and development; i.e. CUB office, hotel,
grocery store, parking structures, housing, and Lowell Park. Some of these
projects are related.
e
The City of Stillwater has several committees that will review aspects of the
various projects. The committees, or commissions, include the Planning
Commission, Historic Preservation Commission, Parking Task Force, Downtown
Implementation Committee and ultimately the City Council. Because of the
extensive nature of Downtown activity and the need for input, it is suggested
that a special Downtown Project Review Task Force be formed to work with Staff
and the various developers regarding their projects. By establishing the Task
Force with representatives from the City committees, it will be easier to get
timely yet comprehensive input representing the various interests of the
Downtown area and the broader community.
The development projects would still have to go through the normal channels of
planning and design review and approval, but with the task force input
provided early in the project development process so that when the projects
are ready for review by the respective committees they will have addressed the
critical committee concerns.
It is suggested that the Downtown Project Review Task Force have
representation as follows: Planning Commission (2), Heritage Preservation
Commission (2), Parking Task Force (2), Downtown Action Committee (2), City
Council (2). This ten member committee would meet on an "as needed" basis to
provide input to Staff and the developers regarding the various downtown
related projects. The Committee would provide input and guidance but would
not make the final decisions.
RECOMMENDATI ON:
Consider establishing Downtown Project Review Task Force.

e
2. The Petitioners' lands are adjoining and contain, collectively, 261.4 acres, more or
less. The Purdy/Ash land is contiguous to the City of Stillwater along the west side of
Neal Ave. and contiguous also to the south side of N. McKusick Road.
3. The Petitioners bring this Petition for the reason that the annexation of their lands to
the City of Stillwater is in the best interest of those lands as well as the City of Stillwater
because:
(a) The Petitioners' lands abut a present west boundary of the City of
Stillwater and offer a natural, orderly growth.
(b) The abutting lands in the City of Stillwater are developed for residential
purposes. The City is providing municipal services (including sanitary
sewer and municipal water service) to the abutting lands. Utilities (e.g.,
electricity, natural gas, and telephone) are also provided to the abutting
lands. These municipal services and utilities can be made available to
the Petitioners' lands.
e
(c) The City of Stillwater presently has an inadequacy of land available for
future growth and development for residential purposes for single
family, two family, apartment, and/or low income purposes.
(d) The availability of such municipal services and utilities will permit the
highest and best use of the Petitioners' lands consistent with regional
and local land use planning, in particular such planning to
accommodate anticipated population growth for the City of Stillwater.
The best use of Petitioners' lands is mostly residential, but these lands
need not be limited to residential purposes but may include recreational,
commercial or special uses.
e
(e) Washington County, through its Public Works Dept. ("PWD"), is
presently planning to relocate a large part of N. McKusick Road between
N. Manning Ave. and Neal Ave. south of its present location and is
acquiring several properties abutting the south side of N. McKusick
Road between N. Manning Ave. and Neal Ave., which are indicated on
the attached map by "PWD", and which include some of the Petitioners'
lands. Annexation of the Petitioners' lands before the reconstruction of
N. McKusick Road would give the City the opportunity to make available
municipal services and utilities underground along the south side of the
page 2 of4
newly reconstructed N. McKusick Road, which would facilitate the
planning and development of Petitioners' lands and avoid the higher
cost and inconvenience of installing these services after the
reconstruction of N. McKusick Road. The City could take advantage of
any necessity to relocate overhead-utility poles required by the
reconstruction of N. McKusick Road to place these utilities
underground. Underground utilities would be aesthetic and consistent
with the underground utilities now present in the easterly abutting
lands commonly known as Oak Glen.
(f) Annexation of Petitioners' lands is consistent with the purpose of the
City's currenit Comprehensive Plan ("Plan"), as stated under part "B.
Purpose" (p.5), part (4) of said Plan's Housing Profile Summary (p.39),
goal 2 of said Plan's Policy Plan for Land Use (p.70), and the
geographical boundaries stated under said Plan's Policy (l)(b) (p.75).
Annexation df Petitioners' lands would enable the City to better modify
or update itsl current Comprehensive Plan because the City would know
what new lands are available to it and could plan an orderly and
appropriate development for the land area northwest of the City.
i
I
4. The Township of Stillwat~r has attempted to deprive one or more of the Petitioners of
maximum economic benefit ijy use or by disposition of their lands, causing them
economic hardship and loss, ~nd Petitioners do not want to be under the governmental
jurisdiction of the Township pf Stillwater.
I
i
5. The Township of Stillwat~r can continue to carry on the function of government
without Petitioners' lands w~thout undue hardships as a result of the proposed
annexation.
,
i
WHEREFORE, Petitioners r~spectfully request that the City Council of the City of
I
Stillwater adopt a resolution,! under the provisions of Section 414.031, Subdivision 1, of
the Minnesota Statutes, req.qesting the Minnesota Municipal Board to annex the
Petitioners' said lands, togetper with such other lands as the Minnesota Municipal
Board may deem appropriat~, to the City of Stillwater.

Stillwater City Council
stillwater City Hall

Stillwater, MN 55082
Dear Council Members,
This letter constitutes our request for the initiation of the
processes required to complete the immediate processes which might
be required for the annexation to the City of stillwater of
approximately 188 acres of farm, creek, lake and strategically
located commercial property in section 19 stillwater Township
owned by Arthur V. and Maureen Palmer, PALMERS, Inc. and PGM,
Inc.
We have been repeatedly in touch with Mr. Steve Russell during the
past four years regarding our desire for such annexation and the
possible desirability for the city to purchase two or three
parcels (approximately 14 acres) located between ourselves and the
west city boundary of the Oak Glenn addition to provide any
contiguity which may be required by Minnesota statutes.
Our petition for annexation was initially submitted and approved
immediately following the Oak Glen annexation petition should
still be valid although possibly subject to further approval by
the current council.
The petition was also taken before the Minnesota Municipal Board
at the same time as the Oak Glenn petition. The MMB decided to
"table" our petition until the complicated stillwater Township
legal and city service issues were resolved.
Sinc;~

RE:
RLS No. 28
Dear Council Members:
As a function of the downtown improvement program I was hope-
ful that the boundries between the Minnesota Highway right of way
and Parcels 1, 2 and 3 would be straightened out following the com-
pletion of streets and walkways in the area of RLS 28. The State
of Minnesota appeared anxious to resolve the problem of staggering
boundry lines parrelleling Highway 95 and encouraged me to request
a realignment.
e
To accomplish this I offered to maintain the area in front of
Parcel 2 once the contractors finished their work, and asked that
Parcel #34900 and a portion of Parcel 4 be conveyed so as to legally
adjoin thereto.
I've been informed recently however, that the City of Stillwater
has asked the State to convey the several irregular parcels which are
the frontage of a portion of the Oesch property, The Zephyr property
and the new city parking property as well as the portion of Parcel 2
referred to above.
I have asked neighboring businesses, the City Attorney, the City
Engineer, the State of Minnesota Highway Appraisal Department as well
as other Stillwater tax payers. No one seems to know why the City
has offered to purchase these various parcels.
I would like an opportunity to present the land survey of these
parcels and to offer a plan to eliminate this hodge-podge of property
lines that accumulated over the years. Please let me know when I may
present my ideas to the Council for public approval.

The U.S. Congress is pOised to consider S.12, the misleadingly-named "Cable
Consumer Protection Act of 1992." As satellite television programmers, we
oppose the enactment of.S.12. In short, S.12 would impose a massive and
stifling regulatory structure on a vibrant entertainment and information
industry. Consumers will not benefit from enactment of this legislation; in
fact it will raise, not lower, monthly rates. This legislation will also
stifle new investment in networks like ours and others that have delivered
a menu of real choices for American consumers.
Because of your leadership role, we think it is important for you to
understand how this bill -- through its excessive rate regulation, forced
programming access, and retransmission consent provisions -- will
negatively impact our customers -- your constituents.
Enclosed is a short fact sheet on the cable TV bill and several editorials.
After reading these materials, we hope you will agree that S.12 is not the
pro-consumer legislation that Congress set out to craft several years ago.
While the cable industry recognizes there may be a rationale for reasonable
rate guidelines, we think S.12 has gone overboard, losing sight of its
original mission amidst the many special interests involved in the cable
debate.
Sincerely,
/1~

STRAIGHT TALK ABOUT THE CABLE REGULATION BILL
e
CONGRESS WILL ACT ON LEGISLATION IN SEPTEMBER THAT COULD RAISE,
NOT LOWER, MONTHLY CABLE RATES. The bill, S.12, would:
. Require cable customers to fund a billion-dollar bonanza for network TV broadcasters.
This bill could force cable companies to pay broadcast stations (ABC, CBS, NBC) as
much as $1 billion a year. What will the consumer get? The same network programming,
the same commercials--and the tab;
. Force cable operators ~o install special converter boxes (using a technology not necessarily
suited for all cable s)1stems) in their systems and in your homes, thereby saddling ALL
cable subscribers wi~h the cost--whether or not they want to use the technology to
subscribe to premium! cable services and pay-per-view services.
Putting the government into ~able TV will increase cable's operating and regulatory costs, which
could lead to higher cable bills for subscribers. The U.S. Department of Commerce estimates
this legislation could mean increased costs of $23 to $51 per year for each cable subscriber.
Not only will costs increase tor cable operators and subscribers, the impact of the federal, state e
and local regulations imposeCl by this legislation will be felt by all taxpayers. For example:
.
The federal governmient, according to the Congressional Budget Office, will spend at
least $100 million t~ implement the regulatory provisions of this legislation for the
first five years;
.
,
State and local gove~nments are expected to spend another $8-14 million per year to
fulfill their regulatorj responsibilities, according to the Congressional Budget Office.
Imposing these kinds of costls on subscribers--the very people Congress seeks to protect--makes
for a very strange kind of consumer protection legislation. Congress began crafting cable TV
legislation several years ago :to address concerns about cable rates and customer service. While
there may be some rationale for moderate rate guidelines, Congress has gone far beyond its
original intention. The cabl~ regulation bill imposes so much regulation that the regulation
itself could end up levying heavy costs on the industry, and driving up rates for cable
customers.

How to Break the Cable Squeeze
Cable television companies, free of meaningful
competition and, since 1984, of regulation, have been
socking customers with immense rate increases.
The House votes this week, on putting an end to the
gouging. The Senate passed its version of cable re-
regulation earlier this year, so a "Yes" vote in the
House would sllccessfully conclude an uphill, three-
ye'ar battle.
:. . Even so, viewers will need to beware. The
H?use bill re-regulates with a heavy hand instead of
a light touch, saddling cable companies with bur-
densome regulations. The threat is that coslly regu-
laifons will force local authorities to grant large
r~tehikes, or force cable companies to cut service
alJd put off investment in new service. .
.
. The right, light touch would be to rein in the bad
actors - cable companies that shamelessly exploit
captive audiences - and pave the way for competi-
tiarl ;from satellite broadcasters, "wireless" sys-
tems and other entrants. There's a model for smart
n~:regulation. The House passed just such a bilI two
years ago, but it was buried in the Senate.
It's too ,late. now for the House to vote "no" on
. . 'the pending bill; there's no telling how long it would
lake to push through a better one. But just passing
the bill is not a valid option either; President Bush
is sure to veto it. That leaves one constructive way
ou~: for the House to pass the bill but agx:ee to prune
its excesses in the consequent conference with the
Senate. .
. ;:, i The bill would require the Federal Communica-
tions Commission to set guidelines for. the price of
basi<; service.. by. cable companies that operate
without meaningful competition. But this bill unnec-
essarily roams far beyond retransmission of broad-
cast networks and public-access channels, the ob-
jects of the 1990 version. For example, the bill
il1cludes long-distance broadcasts from super-sta-
tions like WGN in Chicago. .
The House will also vote on a provision that
would virtually prohibit exclusive contracts: agree-'
ments by which programmers, for a lucrative fee,
agree to sell to only one cable system. Often these
contracts would be rightly prohibited as anticom-
petitive; they keep popular programs out of the
hands of cablc's compelitors. But they can also be a
lifeline for start-up programmers, and a lifeline for
viewers hungry for something new.
The 1990 version would have allowed pro-con-
sumer exclusive contracts; the language the House
is expected to consider this week, in effect, would
not.
Re-regulation could never be the ideal response
to angry customers. Over time, even well-written
provisions become ineffective. A better answer is
more competition. Last week, the F.C.C. took a giant
stride in that direction by voting to allow telephone
companies to provide TV services.
They are unlikely to do that, however, for a
decade. Satellite broadcasters might enter earlier,
though no one knows for sure. So until the day that
customers can pick and choose among multi-chan-
nel providers, re-regulation is needed. The best way
to achieve it. is for the ,flouse-Senate conferees to
undo the excess and preserve the essence:
Control basic service, eliminate all egregious
behavior and protect competitors trying to gain a
foothold. Cabie customers need protection and fair
charges; overprotection would mean overcharges
and under-service.

Congress' clumsy check on cable rates
A record budget deficit has made cutting taxes im-
practical and dangerous, so Congress is trying to find
other ways to curry favor with middle-class voters.
Lawmakers think they've hit 011 something. The
House last week voted 340 to 73 to impose new price
regulations on the cable television. industry. In J anu-
ary, the Senate,' by a 78-to-13 margin, did the same.
The lopsided votes give lawmakers a carrot to dangle
before more than 54 million housemolds that subscribe
to cable and their first decent shot at oveniding an
ex.pected veto by President Bush.
Rep. Edward Markey, a Democrat from Massachu-
setts, urged thinking about re-regulating the cable in-
dustry "as a $6 billion tax cut for consumers."
But in trying to. undo" the negative effects of past
action, Congress is wielding such a heavy hand that,
instead of reducing rates, it could .end up costing cable
subscribers. The companies will f11~ for higher rates to
cover the new law's mandates. If Uley aren't granted,
services and investment likely will be 'cut.
To spur growth, Congress began to deregulate the
cable industry in 1984. By 1987, nearly all government
rate regulation ha<;l been removed. Lawmakers believed
competition from satellite and direct broadcast sys-
tems would hold down rate increaSes, but cable com-
panies negotiated exclusive franchises in most cities
and new technologies didn't develop rapidly.
As a result, cable companies were free to raise rates.
Increases far outstripped inflation. [n some communi-
ties, rates doubled or tripled. Despite expanded pro-
gramming, many customers became irate, especially
when they couldn't get prompt and courteous service.
As a remedy, Congress wants the Federal Communi-
cations Commission to set national rate ceilings. Then,
it would return regulation to the local authorities. The
House bill would allow oversight just on a basic level
of service and set up a special mechanism to go after
abusive operators. .The Senate bill goes farther and
allows cities to regulate a broader range of services.
As a temporary measure to correct the abuses of
natural monopolies, some rate regulation may be a
tragic necessity. The danger, however, is that it may
become overly burdensome and permanent. Competi-
tion is the best way to discipline cable operators, spur
innovation and drive down costs and prices: ; .
The FCC knows this. It voted this month to allow
telephone companies to carry television programming,
as well as calls, on their lines. Unfortunately, the deci-
sion won't have any immediate impact on cable rates,
because it will take years for the phone companies to
upgrade their networks for video service.
Instead of limiting itself to worrying about rate regu-
lation and protecting would-be competitors, Congress
would unnecessarily. restrict the cable industry. It
wants, for example, to dictate equipment standards
and fees and limit marketing practices. Generally, it
. intrudes too far into cable management. .
. Even if the votes appear sufficient for an override,
President Bush should stick to his pledge and give
Congress a fight on this clumsy cable legislation.

Cable bill should die
e'
. .
G: EORGKBUSH should, as he
. has'threatened, veto a cable
tv reregulation bill that Congress
:p'assed last week. It's a poorly
.~ritten and contradictory piece of
legislation, adorned with so many
gimmicks that it resembles a
;Christmas tree decorated with
:ttems 'from ;.the; local junkyard.
-Worse, in the long run it could
'harm consumers.
-, The Senate version would force
'cable TV companies to negotiate
-with local broadcast stations for
Jthe right to carry their signals -
.Mile Hi in Denver and United Ca-
1Ile in the metro suburbs,' for in-'
-stance, .would have to bargain
with localch~mnels 2, 4, 6, 7, 9, 12,
"20, 31 and 57, each of whom could
drive their own bargains. .
Of course,' the broadcast
stations would demand' money
from the cable company for the
'privilege,' and those costs would be
:passed on to consumers through
Jhigher monthly cable bills or by
'the cable TV companies dumping
lsome channels they now offer, to
.save money. This outcome could
hardly be called consumer protec-
tion, as some members of Con-
ogress claim.
In the House version of the bill,
the Federal. Communications
{;ommission would have to draw.
:u.p a formula for cable TV prices
:across the. country - never mind
that circumstances may vary so
:much .from city to city that a na-
lionwide equation might be un-
'workable in some places. Local
governments then would have to
figure out how the formula applies
.in their cities and force the local
,cable TV company to comply - in
other words, local governments
e
would have to play traffic cop on
a road designed by bureaucrats in
Washington.
Congress isn't. giving local gov-
ernments any money to handle the
new responsibility - even though
some experts figure the nation-
wide cost of reregulation at about
$200 million a year - so cities
would have to come up with the
dough on their own. In Denver's
case, that means the city would
have to take some of the $1.53
million it got from cable TV fran-
chise fees this year - which went
right into the city's general fund
- and instead use it to hire bu-
reaucrats to decipher the FCC for-
mula. That factor is one reason
that Bill Bradley, telecommunica-
tions chief for the city of Denver,
opposes the cable TV reregulation
proposal.
Bradley, who has been the head
of a national group of municipal
cable TV regulators, instead
thinks local governments and ca-
ble television companies ought to
sit down at the bargaining table
and work out a common-sense
compromise themselves. Brad-
ley's idea is a darn good one, but
unfortunately Washington isn't lis-
tening.
The .cable TV industry enjoyed
freedom and profits during the
1980s, and it could have thrived
for years in that business paradise
had it improved customer service
and not been greedy. Now that
consumer discontent has collided
with election year jitters in Wash-
ington, a bad idea is on the verge
of becoming law.
. Bush so far has a perfect record
on vetoes. Hopefully, this prom-
ised veto will stick as well.

Second ~houghts on cable bill
, In recent' years the cable TiV industry has
been'its own worst enemy. Rates have risen
. three times faster ~han inflatiJn and in many
markets service quality has declined.
Congr:ess has listened to these complaints,
and, for the third time in as I rnany years, is
attempting to re-regulate the industry. .
It is easy to sympathize with this effort, but
second thoughts intrude: Is it! appropriate to
treat cable television as a public utility? Cable
delivers serious fare such as .cNNand
C-SPAN, but mostly what we're talking about
here is entertainment - video confections
such as comedy qr home-sho?ping channels.
Subscribers who cancel won!t freeze in the
dark, and will have more disfosable iIicome
to boot. ..
Neve.rtheless, Congress is I proceeding on
. . the unstated'assumption that the American
public is entitled to "fair" rates for cable
: service. I~ consequence, our . lawgivers have
occupied many' hours in a vain attempt to
arbitrate . conflicts among programmers,
o'peratcirs and broadcasters. .
Opera,tors want cheap progtams. Program-
mers witht exclusive contracts and tat fees.
. I
Broadcasters don't like cable -operators
transmitting their signals for free. Hollywood
wants no' provision that' will diminish
royalties. Why not let the market sort this
out? . .
A key provision in the House measure
would direct the Federal Comrnunications
Commission to decree a nationwide prIce for
basic service, and would regulate prices for
other service tiers if a state or loca1
government complains. One august lawgiver
even tried to force cable operators in some
markets to carry Home Shopping Network,
which is based in his district. ..
The FCC has taken a. more far-sighted
approach that promises to spur competition
and encourage the development of new
technologies. The commission has approved
a measure allowing telephone companies to
offer video services. Further, it has recom- /
. meded that Congress permit' cable and
telephone companies to enter each other's
businesses.
The FCC move unmasks ~he congressional
approach as threadbare, and deserving of the
veto threat it has drawn from President Bush.

Cable bill needs lllore
consUll1er protection
NOW that the House of
A Representatives has joined the Sen-
. ate in a veto-proof vote to re-regulate the
cable television industry, Americans can
look forward to the mixed blessings of
price controls. Basic cable rate increases
will sloW; so, quite possibly, will new
program development and other innova-
tions.
. As we argued during Senate delibera-
tions last winter, the rate re-regulation
seems a reasonable risk. But this bill still
includes provisions that are anything but
consumer protection. They are, in fact,
requirements that consumers subsidize ca-
ble television's competitors. Those provi-
sions should be stripped from this bill antenna.
Cable rates have increased punishingly .
since the industry. was largely freed from regulation in 1984 (by
about 60 percent On average nationwide, and more in many
areas). And because most 'cable operators function as monopoly
providers, rate regulation is justified. Such regulation would be
discontinued whenever "effective competition," defined as a com-
peting cable or satellite video service, develops in a given
community.

Federal Communications Commission guidelines, mean-
while, should prevent local regulatory units from returning
to the parsimonious price limits that stunted cable's develop-
ment in the 19705 and early '80s.
But the misguided. provisions still clinging to this bill should be
opposed by all consumers. The Senate bill, though not the House
version, allows broadcasters to charge fees to cable operators for
the retransmission of broadcast signals. This would amount to
allowing broadcasters to use cable operators as bill collectors,
who will of course pass these fees along to subscribers.
But broadcast television is supposed to be free; that's the
broadcasters' way of paying for use of the public airwaves. They
should not be allowed to charge for their signals just because a
consumer chooses to receive them via cable rather than through
an antenna.
Other provisions that will pick consumers) pockets include a
requirement that cable operators equip every subscriber home to
receive premium channels, whether the subscriber wants those
channels or nol This will saddle all cable subscribers. with a
capital cost that benefits the premium program distributors,
whose service will become cheaper. But it will be cheaper only
because the technical cost of hookup will have been shared by
people who don't even want these services. People shouldn't be
forced to subsidize products they don't wanl

Rather than pointlessly vetoing the entire bill, President Bush
should use his influence to lobby for the removal of these special
