FR TRAFFIC PROBLEM AT INTERLACHEN WAY AND BAYBERRY AVE
I received a complaint of speeders on Interlachen Way by a citizer, in
that area sever weeks ago. I assigned the issue of Officer D. Miller
and we conducted a problem solving exercise in the area. I had
Miller talk to the complainant and the other neighbors in the area
about what was going on up there. I also had Miller assess the
physical environment in the area. What he discovered was that the
problem was not speeders. It was persons coming up the hill on
Interlachen Way and making the turn to Bayberry Ave. too fast and
that some drivers were going straight on Interlachen Way past
Bayberry and hitting the dead end which required there to turn around
in the residents driveways.
As usual, the citizens wanted a stop sign. They wanted it placed at
the intersection of Interlachen Way and Bayberry and they wanted it
to stop traffic on Interlachen Way. This proved to be a problern
because Interlachen Way is a steep hill in this area and this would
cause a problem during the winter with cars stopping and then not
being able to get going again.
Officer Miller fashioned a solution to the problem and presented it
to the persons in the area. They agreed that his solution was the
best and we would like to request that the City Council approve this
solution and direct the Public Works Department to install the
requested signs.
A memo from Officer Miller is attached. It explains, in detail, what
his proposed solution to the problem is.

RE: Traffic Complaints wear 221 Interlachen Way
DATE: 27 August, 1991
On August 26th, I spoke with Laura Porcello(221 Interlachen Way) at
her residence regarding her concerns about traffic and , what she
feels is inadequate signing, at Bayberry Avenue and Interlachen Way.
In our conversation, Ms. Porcello expressed concerns about the way
traffic flows to and through the intersection of Bayberry Avenue and
Interlachen Way. According to Ms. Porcello, the traffic that travels
up Interlachen Way(froa Myrtle Street) frequently is travelling too
fast to safely navigate the turn from Interlachen onto Bayberry Avenue.
She stated that there have been numerous occassions where several "near
misses" have occurred at that intersection and believes that the problem
is due to people travelling too fast up Interlachen, as well as people
not paying attention to oncoming traffic while on 3avberry. She also
expressed concerns about the fact that on several occassions, vehicles
have continued down Interlachen, past the Bayberry intersection, only
to have to turn around in her(or her heighbors)driveway because the
driver was unaware that Intterlachen dead ends, less than 100 feet,
south of Bayberry.
GORDON SEIM
FIRE CHIEF
Ms. Porcello is very concerned that a serious accident is going to occur
at this corner due to drivers being unaware that the intersection poses
potential hazards to unwary drivers and the numerous nighttime walkers
and joggers that frequent that area.
The intersection that M. Porcello refers to. is diagramned, in detail
on the attached sheet. As you can see, Interlachen Way runs in a south-
westerly direction from West Myrtle Street, continues uphill and then dead
ends(approximateiy 50 -130 feet) south of Bayberry. Bayberry Avenue inter-
sects with Interlachen, at the crest of the hill and then continues west
from that intersection. The normal traffic flow on Interlachen (travelling
from Myrtle Street) would turn right at Bayberry, unless it was specifically
going to 221 Interlachenz Way or to 211 Interlachen Way. The traffic travell-
ing east on Bayberry wo always turn left, onto Interlachen Way unless
it was intending to go ;specifically to 221 or 211 Interlachen Way.
The intersection of these to streets in completely uncontrolled and does
pose a definite hazard if approached fast or if the driver is gnaware
that a potential traffic conflict exists. I can speak from personal exper-
ience, because on more . :han one occassion I have responded to emergency
calls on Bayberry Avenue and have turned from Intrelachen Way onto Bayberry

and nearly collided with vehicles on Bayberry that had cut the corner when
turning onto Interlachen and failed to stay within their own lane when mak-
ing the turn.
In examining the intersection design and potential hazards I observed, I
feel that the problems can all be corrected by strategic placement of three
warning signs. The signs should be placed in the following positions for
obtaining the proper objectives:
1.) A Yield sign should be placed at the intersection of Bayberry and
Interlachen Way that is visible to eastbound Bayberry traffic. This
would alert these drivers to the posibility of potential cross traffic
and also cause them to look and be aware of any traffic potentially
travelling up Interlachen Way.
2.) A warning sign indicating a sharp right hand turn (and indicating a
maximum safe turn speed at 15 mph) should be placed along Interlachen
Way prior to the Bayberry intersection so as to alert drivers that they
must turn right and also alert them that a slow speed is needed to safely
negotiate the turn.
3.) A DEAD END sign shoud be placed on Interlachen, just south of Bayberry
to alert drivers that Interlachen does not continue any further.
4.) Finally, the reflective sign positioned at the end of Interlachen should
be replaced in order to act as an additional reminder that Interlachenn
ends.
These recommendations are intended to create a safer driving environment fcr
the citizens that live at, and near, this intersection and to prevent a
possible accident(or series of accidents) that may occur it precautions
are not taken to identify hazards at a potentially dangerous intersection.

R E : REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF CONTINGENT DOWNTOWN PARKING
PLAN AND REFUND OF PARKING PERMIT MONEYS
HISTORY
During the month of August, the department received a substantial fi
• number of complaints regarding the lack of parking in the downtown
area as a result of the construction. In response to these
complaints, the department engaged in a problem solving effort in an
attempt to reach the best possible solutior, to the problem. The
problem solving effort entailed a preliminary meeting with the
parking taskforce followed by an extensive downtown community survey.
The purpose of these efforts were to learr, exactly what the
problem(s) were and what input the persons contacted had to offer
regarding a solution.
The problems identified were as follows;
212 North Fourth Street, Stillwater, Minnesota 55082
Police Phone: 612 - 439 -1314 or 612- 439 -1336
GORDON SEIM
FIRE CHIEF
Lack of adequate parking for both employees and customers
Lack of prime customer parking spaces
Customers getting parking tickets
Lack of continuity regarding parking spaces available (ie. a
parking lot being open in the morning and closed at noon due
to construction)
After the problem was adequately defined, proposed solutions were
developed and presented to the taskforce and business community. The
solution arrived at that best resolves the problem and reflects the
needs and desires of the downtown community is as follows;
The departrnent will engage in a parking enforcement program, for
the duration of the construction, that will enforce the on street
parking and not enforce the parking lots. We will issue warning
summons for first time offenders and issue $5.00 parking tickets
to any vehicle found to have once been cited with a warning
summons. Parking lots will not be enforced and anyone who wishes
to park in any city lot can do so on a first come first served
basis. No time limits w i l l be imposed.
This plan of action was presented and explained in person to 44 of
the mair, businesses in the downtown area and all thought that the
plan was fair and all businesses contacted were in favor of it's
implementation. The plan was put into effect on September 3, 1991.
We are now receiving requests from downtown business persons and
employees for refunds of . Fees paid for parking permits in the
dcowntowr, area. I feel that these requests are as a result of the non
enforcement of the parking lots.
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED
I would request that the Council approve the plan as presented herein
and that they approve the refund of any unused portion of any parking
permits issued. Further, I would recommend that the Council susoenc
the issuance of downtown, parking permits until the downtown,
construction is complete or at such a time when adequate parking lot
parking spaces are present to allow employee parking.
If the Cour,ci 1 chooses to approve these recommendations, the
department will work with City Administration regarding refunds of
parking permits and will communicate the Council's decision to the
business persons.
Please see the attached rnerncts for further documentatictr, of our
problem solving effort in this matter.

The police departrnent.has received some complaints in regard
to the lack of availability of parking in the downtown during
construction. We have received complaints from customers, business
owners and employees, and through personal observations made by
the parking control officer.
The police department has made an attempt to verify the
problem through conducting a survey of downtown business owners and
employees along with some customers. We have also completed a
community survey of the downtown businesses.
.Through the surveys that we have conducted along with the
personal observations we have found that the people contacted have
been concerned about the lack of availability of parking in downtown
Stillwater. The people were also very concerned about the customers
receiving parking tickets. We have also found that there is some
concern about parking for employees. While talking with downtown
business owners and employees their main concern. was with the
customers finding a place to park and not having to worry about
moving their vehicle or leaving Stillwater in 2 hours. The problem
as it was explained is " It's hard enough to get customers to come
in to downtown Stillwater. Then when they get here there is no
Glace for them to park and on top of that they get a $5.00 parking
ticket. When this happens, they are NOT going to come back -ever. "
The result of the surveys shows that the most concern was in the
fact that the customers should be able to park in the prime spots and
should NCT be issued parking tickets.
Possible solutions with negative and positive aspects:
Option 1.) No Enforcement in downtown Stillwater for the
duration of construction. The negative aspects of this option .
is that the business owners and employees would park on the
street in the prime spots. The positive aspect would be that
we would not issue tickets to the customers.
Option 2.) Total Enforcement in downtown Stillwater for
the duration of construction. The negative aspects of this
option is that it would cause bad public relations between
the police department, the downtown community, and the
customers through issuing tickets. The positive aspect would
be that we would be able to keep the business owners and
employees off of the streets.
Option 3.) Restricted Parking Enforcement -open lots for
all day parking for anyone and enforcement of all street parking.
The negative aspects of this option would be that we may still
be issuing tickets to customers. The positive aspects of this
is that it would free up parking lot spaces for employees and
save prime spots for customers.

Options possible fo: fines are to issue straight warning tickets,
issue straight $5.00 tickets, or issue warning ticket followed by
$5.00 parking ticket for second and subsequent offenses.
Problems with issuing only warning tickets is that the business
owners and employees would continue to park on the street.
Problems with issuilg only $5.00 tickets is that customers
would be receiveing thesa $5.00 parking tickets.
Problems with issuing warning ticket followed by $5.00 parking
tickets is that it would create a need for more office /staff time.
For the situation in downtown Stillwater and the majority of
concerns being in ava'►lab litiy of parking and in customers not
receiving parking violations, the best proposal would be to have
restricted parking enfor ;ement in downtown Stillwater for the duration
of the downtown reconstr.iction project or until there is a need for
change. Along with the restricted parking enforcement should be the
issuance of 1 warning ti ;ket for the first offenSe followed by a $5.00
parking ticket for every offense thereafter.
This proposal will meet the goals of the Stillwater Police
Departrnent as well as the concerns of the downtown businesses. The
proposal would keep the Grime spots open to customers, provide more
availability of parking for employees, and not issu 00 parking
tickets to customers.
The police department can monitor this system for effectiveness
by keeping in close contact with the downtown businesses through
surveys, personal observations, and by the number of tickets issued -
the percentage of tickets that are warning and $5.00. We can also
keep a closer eye on repeat offenders.

On Wednesday August 21, 19 the police department met with the Parking Task
Force represenative and with a few downtown business owners. The people present
were: Paul Simonet, Bob Tanner, Maria Canelakes, Chris White, Chief Mawhorter,
Parking Control Officer Capuzzi.
At this meeting we discussed the three options that were made available to
the downtown business owners. There was a lot of discussion of what the business
owners wanted for their customers. The general feeling of the people at the
meeting was that the lots should be open to anyone to park in for as long as they
want /need to. The people also agreed that the streets that had enforcement signs
on them should be enforced for 2 hour parking.
We did not reach a final decision; however, the majority of the people were in
favor of option #3- Restricted Parking. Enforcement- open all lots for anyone to
park in for as long as they want /need to and enforce 2 hour parking on all signed
• streets. Along with the restricted parking enforcement we would issue (1) warning
ticket for the first offense and a $5.00 parking ticket for every offense thereafter.
In doing this; we would be giving warning tickets to those who are not
familiar with downtown Stillwater, and $5.00 tickets to repeat offenders.
If there are no spaces available for employees to park, they will have to go
into the residential areas or park at Trinity's parking lot and walk from there.
The police department will provide a map to the businesses with available
parking information on it.
The police department will be going into the downtown community one more
and finding out if this is an aimiable solution.

The police department conducted a second survey of the downtown businesses
in regard to the concerns about the enforcement of parking in downtown during the
duration of the construction. The survey was conducted in the time zone of
August 22 -27, 1991. During this time, the parking control officer contacted 44
businesses in the downtown and presented a possible solution for the parking in
downtown for the duration of the construction.
The option that was presented to the downtown businesses was to have
Restricted Parking Enforcement -open all lots for anyone to park in for as long as
they want /need to and enforce 2 hour parking on all signed streets. Along with
restricted parking enforcement we would issue (1) warning for the first offense
and a $5.00 parking ticket for every offense thereafter.
This option gathered support from all 44 downtown businesses. The businesses
feel that this is a good choice and that it is the most fair way to conduct parking
enforcement in the downtown for the duration of the construction.

In the past two weeks the Stillwater police department has been conducting
a survey of the downtown business owners and employees. We have been in
close contact with the majority of businesses on Main St. This survey was
conaucted to get a better understanding of how the downtown business
owners and employees were feeling about the enforcement of parking during
the Downtown Reconstruction Project.
In talking with the business owners and employees along rain St, we
received an understanding that their primary concern was to prevent
customers from receiving parking tickets. Their secondary concern was to
have as much parking available as possible.
Allith these concerns in mind, the police department looked at some possible
oiutions. The Police Chief David Mawhorter and Parking Control Officer
Capuzzi met with the Parking Task Force and some downtown business owners
on this matter. The parking control officer then talked with the downtown
business owners and employees again. This time we presented a
possible- workable solution. The solution that was presented to the
downtown business owners and employees was to have Restricted Parking
Enforcement -open lots for anyone to park in for as long as they want /need
and to enforce 2 hour parking on all signed streets. Along with this we
will be issuing (1) warning ticket for the first offense and $5.00 parking
tic.cets for every offense thereafter.
This solution was supported by all of the downtown businesses that were
contacted. The business owners and employees felt that this was the best
solution and the most fair way to enforce parking in the downtown during
the duration of construction.
This program will be implemented beginning on September 3, 1991 at 8:00am.

TO: Mayor Abrahamson, Members of the City Council, and Mile Krissel (City
Coordinator)
FROM: Parking Control Officer Cara Capuzzi
RE: Proposal of fob -share (working 3 days per week) -to continue college
education.
DATE: September 13, 1991
For the past year and a half, I have been working full -time in the
position of Parking Control Officer. I have also been attending Inver
Hills Community College full -time to receive an AA degree in Law
Enforcement. The course is a 2 -year program. I am entering my second
year at Inver Hills this September. I have done some research through
counselors and instructors in regard to completing a 2 -year degree by
taking all evening and weekend courses. From the people that 1 have
talked to and through the school class schedule listing it has been proven
to me that in order to graduate, you must at some time take day classes.
The reason for this is that Inver Hills Community College is a Liberal
Arts College, which means that in order to earn a degree from this school
you must take your "Major" orientated courses in addition to the schools
required courses; such as, English, Math, Science, Music, Theatre, Speech,
Art, etc. In order to take all of these classes you must attend school
during the daytime due to the fact that some of the required courses are
only offered during that time and are generally scheduled for more than
one day per week for each course.
I would like to request that the City Council approve a job -share program.
This would allow for me to continue to do parking enforcement three days
per week, while allowing my to meet my goals of completing my 2-year Law
Enforcement degree.
This proposal would consist of myself working three days per week and a
second person working three days per week doing parking enforcement.
Due to the fact that I will be attending courses on Tuesdays and Thursdays
during the daytime hours of 11:15 -2 :15 and will also be attending courses
in the evening hours on Tuesdays, Wednesdays. and Thursdays I would like
to propose that I will work on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays for the Police
Depart - rent doing parking enforcement. This would leave a position open
for Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
a i Aleet ""

MEMORANDUM
TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ANN TERWEDO, PLANNER
DATE: SEPTEMBER 11, 1991
SUBJECT: CERTIFIED LOCAL GOVERNMENT COMMENT ON NOMINATION OF DOWNTOWN
STILLWATER COMMERCIAL HISTORIC DISTRICT TO THE NATIONAL REGISTER OF
HISTORIC PLACES
DISCUSSION:
The City has received the official letter that the State Review Board of the
Minnesota Historic Society will be considering tne Downtown Stillwater
Commercial Historic District to the National Register of Historic Places on
November 21, 1991. This district was locally designated in October of 1989 and
officially certified by the Park Service in July of 1991. The nomination to
the National Register was also supported by resolution in 1989.
The nomination form sent to the Planning Office and Mayor's Office has been
revised and updated according to the National Register criteria and comments
from the State Historic Preservation Office and review and approval from the
contractor who prepared the form. I also met with Staff at the State Historic
Preservation Office numerous times to comment on the status of the nomination
form. Three changes were made to the nomination form during the review
process. These changes include change of the status of the Simonet Building
and the north building of the Vittorio's site (Pacific Hotel) which have been
changed from non - contributing to contributing to the historic significance of
the district. Another change is to the McKusick Block (old Norwest Bank
Building) which changed from contributing to non - contributing because all
original architectural features of the building have been removed and the
third floor and cornice are gone .These changes were reviewed by the
Preservation Commission.
The Stillwater Historic Commercial District encompasses most of the older
portion of the Downtown commercial area. It includes some eleven blocks in tne
central business district and stretches from Nelson Street on the south to
Commercial on the north along Main Street. The historic riverfront meander
line and portions of Second Street and Third Street along the principal
east /west streets: Nelson, Nelson Alley, Chestnut and Myrtle Streets. The
district contains sixty three contributing buildings, including one building
already on the National Register (the Freight House Restaurant); two
contributing sites (Lowell Park and the sunken garden); four non - contributing
. sites (vacant lots); three contributing structures (Wolfe tunnel /cave system,
the Lowell Park Pavilion and the Lowell Park Levee; and one contributing
object (the fountain) in the sunken garden).

Dear Mr. SOMOR
MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY
Re: Certified Local Government Comment on the nomination of:
Stillwater Commercial Historic District, vicinity of Main,
2nd and Chestnut Streets, Stillwater, Washington County,
to the National Register of Historic Places
The above referenced property may be considered by the State
Review Board for nomination to the National Register of Historic
Places on November 21, 1991. Because the City of Stillwater has
been granted Certified Local Government (CLG) Status under the
provisions of 36 CFR 61.5 and the Minnesota State Historic
Preservation Office's "Procedures for Applying For and Maintain-
ing Certified Local Government Status ", the nomination (copy
enclosed) is being sent to the Office of the Mayor and to the
Heritage Preservation Commission for review at this time.
If the local government wishes to comment on this nomination
through the expanded responsibilities of CLG status, the follow-
ing procedure should be followed. This nomination is classified
as a historical nomination and an architectural nomination. Our
certification records show that the Stillwater Heritage Preserva-
tion Commission includes 2 members (Workman and Zaworski) who
meet the Federal Standards for History. After allowing a
reasonable opportunity for public comment, the Commission may
prepare a report indicating its opinion as to whether the
property meets the National Register criteria (copy enclosed).
At least one Commission member from the above discipline should
participate in formulating that opinion.
The Mayor may transmit the report of the Heritage Preservation
Commission together with his comments on the eligibility of the
property to Nina M. Archabal, State Historic Preservation Of-
ficer, at the above address. This response must be received
before the close of business on November 18, 1991. Pursuant to
the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 as amended, if
both the Heritage Preservation Commission and the Mayor feel that
the property does not meet the criteria, the nomination will not
be further considered unless an appeal is filed with the state
office.
We should note the stancard owner notification of State Review
Board consideration of his property will be made, public notice
will be published, and ppropriate officials will be notified ap-
proximately one month before the scheduled meeting.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me
at the above address.

historic significaice of the district and represent the type, period,
and method of construction that creates the unique environment of

Dear Mayor Abrahamson & City Council,
I 'm writing to express my interest in serving on the Planning
Commission. Though my past experiences of bringing Variances and
Special Use Permits before the Planning Commission have not all been
positive, it has given me some additional insight into how city
government works.
I feel strongly that a person should contribute to a community they
plan to live their lives in. Our past four years here in Stillwater
have been very rewarding for us. We now feel that we have put down some
roots in this community and now it is time we should start to give
P ething back to Stillwater. I feel by serving on the Planning
ommission that I can give something to Stillwater as it reaches into
the future.

THE BIRTHPLACE OF MINNESOTA -�
MEMORANDUM
TO: PLANNING COMMISSION
FROM: PLANNING STAFF
DATE: SEPTEMBER 4, 1991
SUBJECT: CRITERIA FOR SELECTION OF PLANNING COMMISSIONER AND QUESTIONS FOR
INTERVIEWS
Skills of a good Planning Commissioner:
People who serve on Planning Commissions should be selected on the basis of
the following criteria : (Source: Solnit, Albert The Job of the Planning
Commissioner, Third Addiition 1982, Pages 68 -69, Wadsworth Publishing Company,
Belmont, California)
a. CIVIC MINDEDNESS:
• It helps if the Commissioner already has a track record for working on
civic programs such as neighborhood or downtown improvement projects.
b. AN INTEREST IN PLANNING and enough knowledge of the planning process and
laws to know why things are done as well as the rules for doing them.
c. A MIND OPEN TO NEW IDEAS:
A person who will be working with change and the future should have the
imagination and flexibility to grasp, evaluate and accept ideas.
d. OBJECTIVITY:
An ability to listen to opposing views and still keep a clear focus on
where the real public interest lies, what is not only within the law but
also really fair, and if possible, a judicial temperament in the face of
controversy namely, the ability to distinguish between fact and opinion.
e. THE ABILITY TO EXPRESS ONESELF CLEARLY AND CONCISELY IN PUBLIC:
This includes the skill of learning to think on your feet, something very
few of us learned in school.
f. ENOUGH FREETIME TO ADEQUATELY PREPARE FOR MEETINGS:
Making decisions on planning matters is hard enough without having to play
catchup at meetings. It's not fair to those concerned, as well as the
community you are supposed to serve, to constantly try to "play things by
ear ".
CITY HALL: 216 NORTH FOURTH STILLWATER, MINNESOTA 55082 PHONE: 612 - 439 -6121
g. NO CONFLICTS OF INTEREST:
Tnis means avoiding not only a mixing of public service and private gain,
but also the making of a decision on the basis of who's involved rather
than what is involved.
h. GEOGRAPHIC REPRESENTATION:
Is there a geographic area of the community that is over represented? A
Planning Commission should have a broad based representation of all areas
of the City.
i. DIVERSITY:
The Planning Commission should have a diverse group which includes age,
sex, cultural /and pro - essional background. This enables the group to make
well- rounded, logical decisions with all interests and ideas reviewed.

STILLWATER LOWELL PARK
EROSION PROTECTION WALL INSPECTION
DECEMBER 9, 1987
STILLWATER LOWELL PARK
EROSION PROTECTION WALL INSPECTION
DECEMBER 9, 1987
ORIGINAL DESIGN
A field inspection was made of the entire Lowell Park Erosion
Protection Wall (EPW) to determine the extent of suspected
failure of the lower wall. The inspection was made on November
23, 1987. Original construction plans dated 1937 and 1938 are
available and show different wall types for the areas north and
south of the bridge.
The EPW north of the bridge has a lower wall at the waters edge
constructed entirely of concrete with a spread footing 9'4" below
the elevation of the wharf (walkway along river) and is protected
by rip -rap. The sipper wall that separates the wharf from the
roadway is also concrete with a spread footing buried 2'6 " below
the elevation of the wharf. 4
The EPW south of tae bridge has a lower wall built on top of an
older stone rubble wall. This lower wall is of concrete and is
not tied into the rubble wall or the wharf slab with
reinforcement. This concrete wall meets the rubble wall
approximately 2'6" below the elevation of the wharf. The upper
wall is concrete with a spread footing buried 2'6" below the
elevation of the wharf.
The old rubble wall. was left in place and the upper wall footing
was placed shallow to permit construction "in- the -dry" during low
river stage therefore eliminating the need for cofferdams and
dewatering.
The wharf and lower wall serves as erosion protection for the
upper main EPW wall and also as a wharf for water craft. This
wharf floods periodically during the year. Failure of the lower
wall would leave the shallow footing of the upper wall vulnerable
to undermining resulting in failure.
•
•
EXISTING CONDITIONS
Generally the EPW north of the bridge is in fair condition with
the lower wall footings well protected by rip -rap on the river
bed. The upper wall is stable with no signs of settlement or
tipping. The concrete pavement of the wharf shows extensive
surface deterioration with a small area of complete deterioration
approximately 20' north of the bridge.
The EPW south of the bridge is in poor condition. In this area,
the lower wall is supported on the old stone rubble wall. The
concrete wall has failed at most of the joints and at the stairs
allowing the soil under the wharf to be washed out.
Approximately 150 feet of the lower wall has tipped over allowing
extensive undermining of the wharf and exposure of the upper wall
to the top of the footing. The upper wall in this area has
settled approximately 3 inches and tipped toward the'4river
slightly. Three major vertical cracks have developed due to the
settlement. Further erosion of the soil under the wharf will not
only result in failure of the wharf slab but also the upper EPW
wall. The upper wall retains a roadway embankment.
The most recent Mn /DOT inspection of the bridge did not make any
comments relating to the EPW wall or existence of any problems
with the west abutment or most westerly pier. Failure of the EPW
would most likely leave the bridge substructures vulnerable to
erosion.
Attached is the detailed field inspection report of the EPW. The
stationing coincides with the stationing on the original
construction plans with ( -) 0 +65 on the north end of the EPW and
9 +40 on the south end. Also attached are portions of the
original construction plans showing typical sections of the north
and south wall types.

Photos of the EPW taken at the time of the inspection are
available upon request.
EVALUATION
North EPW
The north EPW is generally in fair condition. This section of
the EPW has seen extensive weathering of the wharf slab due
primarily to the lack of air entrainment in concretes of that
period. The timber fenders or bumpers are missing in all but a
few locations. No railings exist on the upper or lower walls to
protect pedestrians from the vertical drop. No marks exist on
the lower wall to advise boaters of the presence of the wharf
when it is submerged. The north EPW appears adequate to support
the applied loads and to serve the purpose for which it was
originally constructed.
South EPW 4
The south EPW is in poor condition. The deterioration of the
lower wall will parmit erosion of the upper wall foundation
resulting in eventual collapse of the upper wall and roadway
embankment. The primary purpose of the lower wall and wharf slab
is to provide erosion protection for the shallow footing of the
main upper wall.
The lower wall has failed in most of the section from the bridge
to the higher section at Nelson Street (Sta. 3 +30 to 8 +50). The
wharf slab is also badly weathered and has numerous cracks in the
areas where it has been undermined. The timber fenders are also
missing. Railing and markers, like the north, EPW are not
present.
The lower wall and wharf slab have failed and no longer protect
the upper wall. The upper wall has begun to fall and will
continue to due so at an accelerating rate.

Lower wall is in very poor condition. The wharf
slab is undermined and settled. The upper wall
is in fair condition with the exception of the
settled and cracked area at Station 4 +80 to 5 +80.
Potential exists for additional sections of the
upper wall to be undermined and settle as more
soil below the wharf is eroded. This would
ultimately result in failure of the upper wall.

Senator David Durenberger
1020 Plymouth Building
125 Sixth Street
Minneapolis, MN 55402
THE BIRTHPLACE OF MINNESOTA - 164 )
Dear Senator Durenberger:
The City Council of the City of Stillwater would like to
urge your support for the inclusion of historic
preservation provisions in the new National Highway Act
being considered by the House - Senate Transportation
Conference Committee (S.1204,HR2950). In the past,
consideration of historic', scenic and cultural resources
has been limited by the Transportation Act and the lack of
funds. The new legislation provides an opportunity to
increase importance of historic preservation in Minnesota.
For Stillwater, the birthplace of Minnesota, the Historic
Preservation Section of the new act is of particular
importance because of the St. Croix River bridge project
and its possible impact on the existing historic Stillwater
Lift Bridge.
If the new legislation is approved with funding for
transportation enhancements (Sections 106 (b) (4) and 131
of S.1204), it will be possible to maintain operate the
existing bridge as well as construct a new bridge as a part
of the highway project. The existing bridge is of critical
importance to Stillwater because of its inclusion on the
National Register of Historic Places and its contribution
to the character and enjoyment of Downtown Stillwater. The
new highway legislation is very important to historic
preservation in Stillwater.
We appreciate your help in this matter.
Sincerely,
Wallace Abrahamson
Mayor

National Trust for Historic Preservation
PRESERVATION BRIEFING
Side by Side Analysis: The Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991
(S. 1204) and the Intermodal Surface Transportation Infrastructure Act of
1991 (H.R. 2950)
On June 19, the Senate passed S. 1204, the Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991.
This legislation authorizes federal highway and mass transportation assistance for a five year
period beginning on October 1, 1991. On July 18, the leadership of the House of
Representatives Committee on Public Works and Transportation introduced their version of
surface transportation legislation, the Intermodal Surface Transportation Infrastructure Act of
1991 (H.R 2950).
This paper compares key provisions of S. 1204 with H.R 2950 that are of particular interest
to historic preservation.
Overview: The Senate - passed legislation and the House bill would both authorize
federal funding for the construction and maintenance of highways, bridges and mass
transportation facilities for a five year period. The vast majority of this funding comes
from the federal Highway and Mass Transit Trust Fund. This fund receives the revenues
from federal gasoline and other motor fuel taxes.
SENATE
Funding Level: $123 billion over the
five year period.
Flexible Funding: One of the
legislation's principal features is a new
• $45 billion Surface Transportation
Program (STP). The STP replaces
several smaller highway grant programs
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Funding Level: $153.5 billion over the
five year period. Funding is dependent
on a new five cent per gallon increase in
the current 14.1 cent gasoline tax.
Flexible Funding: The bill would permit
the flexible use of federal funds in
several ways. First, it would establish
new categories of funding -- a $13.5
billion State Flexibility Program, a $13.5
and allows States much greater flexibility
in the use of funds. Under the STP,
States would not be able to use funds
only for highways, but could instead fund
public transit, bikeways, carpool
facilities, commuter rail, anc
nonconstruction techniques r.o relieve
congestion and reduce trave.. demand.
The STP would benefit historic
fresco ration by reducing the incentive to
widen or build new roads because of
federal restrictions that encourage the
use of funds for road construction. The
STP permits a comprehensive view of
transportation issues that rejects the view
that all transportation problems can be
resolved by new or wider roads.
National Highway System: 5. 1204
authorizes the designation of a National
Highway System of principa :. intercity
highways. The System woul 1 include the
44,000 miles of existing Inte rstate
Highways and would not exceed a total
of 175,000 miles States would be
required to spend 17.5 percent of their
STP funds (see above), or approximately
$7.8 billion on such roads.
Although many of these roads already
exist, the National Highway System
would encourage new construction and
road widening that could be detrimental
to both urban and rural historic areas.
2
billion Urban Mobility System and a
$10.3 billion Rural Mobility Program.
Within each of these programs, funds
could be used for highways, transit or
other transportation needs. In addition,
a portion of the funds in the National
Highway System (see below) can be
made flexible at the discretion of the
Governor.
Compared to the Senate bill, the Hcuse
bill provides less funding flexibility
despite the fact that it has higher
funding levels.
National Highway System: H.R. 2950
authorizes the designation of a 155,000
mile National Highway System including
the existing Interstate Highway System.
The bill would create a new category of
funding for this System and allocate
$38.8 billion for it. In addition, another
$6 billion of "demonstration projects"
may be located on the National Highway
System.
The requirement that States spend such
considerable sums on a National
Highway System will create a strong
inducement for construction and road
widening that could affect adversely
historic areas. The creation of a large
dedicated funding program for this
System, in contrast to the Senate bill,
reduces the opportunities for flexible use
of funds for nonhighway transportation
alternatives.
•
•
•
•
Transportation Enhancements: S. 1204
requires each State to spend not less
than 8 percent of the funds it receives
from the STP on a new category of
activities called transportation
enhancement activities. Transportation
enhancement activities are defined as
any of the following uses of funds "with
respect to any project [authorized for the
use of STP funds] or the area to be
served by the project ":
highway safety improvement
projects other than repaving
projects, railway- highway
crossing projects, provision of
facilities for pedestrians and
bicycles, acquisition of scenic
easements and scenic or
historic sites, scenic or
historic highway programs,
landscaping and other scenic
beautification, historic
preservation, rehabilitation
and operation of historic
transportation buildings,
structures or facilities
including historic railroad
facilities and canals,
preservation of abandoned
railway corridors including
the conversion and use
thereof for pedestrian or
bicycle trails, control and
removal of outdoor
advertising, archaeological
planning and research, and
mitigation of water pollution
due to highway runoff.
This new category of funding from the
STP requires the spending of at least
$3.5 billion over five years on
transportation enhancements. S. 1204
• also clarifies the eligibility of these
expenditures even where the spending is
not made directly to a road or other

Transportation Enhancements: No
comparable provision, except that bicycle
and pedestrian projects and some
landscaping activities are eligible under

receiving federal funding.
nstead, in
acility
Strengthened State and Local Planning:
S. 1204 would strengthen substantially
the planning requirements on State and
local recipients of federal surface
transportation funds.
The legislation requires a ne w Statewide
planning process that must take into
account a variety of factors t Zat relate
transportation planning to of ter public
policy concerns. State planning must
take into account "any valid State or
local development or land use plans,
programs, or requirements" and must
take account of access to "national parks,
recreation areas, monuments and historic
sites,.."
S. 1204 also strengthens the l;xisting
requirements for local area panning.
The plans, produced by metropolitan
planning organizations in areas with
populations over 50,000, must "consider
the effect of transportation policy on
land use and develop, and assure that
transportation plans and programs are
consistent with the provisions of all
applicable short- and long -te rm land use
and development plans." The plans must
also specify what transportat: on
enhancement activities will to made and
consider "the overall social, conomic,
and environmental effects of

would have to consider several factors,
including, "the effect of transportation
decisions on land use and development,
including the need for consistency
between transportation decision making
and the provisions of all applicable
short -range and long -range land use and
development plans."
The bill also toughens the requirements
for local area planning. All urban areas
would be required to have plans that
consider several factors including the
same land use and transportation link
required in the state plan.
The linkage between transportation
policy and land use is made strongly by
H.R. 2950 although, as in the Senate bill,
it is just one factor of several to be
considered in developing transportation
plans. Like the Senate proposal, this
consideration provides a new forum for
the early consideration of the impact of
transportation plans on historic areas.
Unlike the Senate bill, the H.R. 2950
does not require public participation in
• 5
transportation and land use, the
legislative history of S. 1204 states an
intent that plans demonstrate that new
roads won't be clogged by new
development and that the plans show
how land use laws will assist in reducing
congestion. In considering the
environmental impacts of transportation
plans, the legislative history expresses
the intention to consider local and
regional historic preservation plans.
These new planning requirements will
help ensure that historic preservation is
considered early on in transportation
decision making. It should also
strengthen the consideration of the
impact of land use decisions on
transportation and encourage the
• consistency of transportation plans with
any adopted State growth management
programs.
•
Scenic and Historic Highways: S. 1204
authorizes a new, $5 million a year,
National Scenic and Historic Byways
Program and the creation of a Office of
Scenic and Historic Byways in the
Federal Highway Administration. This
office will provide technical assistance to
States setting up scenic and historic
highways. The legislation also directs
the creation of All American Roads
Program. These roads would be
designated by the Secretary of
Transportation based on nominations
from the States. The purpose of the
designation, according to the legislative
history is to
plan preparation.
Scenic and Historic Highways:
H.R.2950 would provide $20 million a
year for the Department of
Transportation to provide technical and
financial assistance to the States in
creating or expanding Scenic Byway
programs. The bill would create a 16
member Scenic Byways Advisory
Committee that would be charged with
advising the Department on minimum
criteria for state and federal scenic
byway designation and the designation of
"all- American roads." The Committee
would include, as one of its members, an
individual from the historic preservation
community.
identify and designate roads This program would provide substantial
having outstanding qualities of
scenic, historic, and cultural
attractiveness; to preserve and
protect these roads and their
unique characteristics; and to
enhance rural tourism, economic
development, and world- cla: -s
tourism destinations.
This program should boost St ate and
local efforts to preserve and protect
scenic and histoiic road coiridois and
the use of these roads to encourage
heritage tourism.
Flexible Design Standards: E . 1204
permits federal funds to be used for
transportation projects that do not meet
normal road design and construction
standards where those project s involve
changes to a historic facility or they are
located in areas of historic or scenic
value. Where otherwise applicable
standards are not followed, alternative
measures to preserve safety ust be
employed.
This provision addresses som ° of the
inflexibility that exists in Stat adopted
road and bridge safety stand rds that
inhibit the use of existing his oric
transportation facilities and tat lead to
the construction of new facili ties in
historic areas that are out of character
with the historic setting.
"Takings" Analysis: As part of S. 1204,
the Senate approved an amendment that
will prohibit the approval of any new
regulation by any federal agency unless

financial support for the creation of a
national network of scenic highways. In
contrast to the Senate bill, the H.R. 2950
provides funds from the Highway Trust
Fund and, consequently, the program
requires no specific annual federal
appropriation.
Flexible Design Standards: No similar
provision.
"Takings" Analysis: No similar
provision.

i
the Attorney General certifies that the
agency is in compliance with Executive
Order 12630. That order, issued by
President Reagan, requires all federal
agencies to have procedures to assess
whether their regulations will cause a
taking of private property.
The Senate adopted provision, known as
the Private Property Rights Act, like the
Executive Order, has the potential for
unnecessarily inhibiting government
regulatory action. The Executive Order
has been criticized by constitutional
experts for exaggerating the takings
threat and misstating takings law.
Historic Preservation Review: S. 1204
does not make any changes in the
requirements for the Department of
Transportation to comply with section
106 of the National Historic Preservation
Act, section 4(0 of the Department of
Transportation Act, the National
Environmental Policy Act, and other
environmental laws.
Billboard Control: The Senate removed
a Committee approved proposal that
would have restored local government
authority to remove billboards using the
amortization method of compensation.
For more detailed information, please contact the National Trust for Historic Preservation, at
1785 Massachusetts Avenue, NW, Washington, D. C. 20036. You may also call the National
Trust's legislative hotline toll free at 1- 800 - 765 -NTHP to listen to the latest news and leave
messages; or call the office directly by dialing (202) 673 -4254.
July 19, 1991
Historic Preservation Review: Like the
Senate bill, H.R. 2950 would make no
changes to the historic preservation
review process.
Billboard Control: H.R. 2950 would
confirm the current requirement for the
removal of all illegally erected billboards
and provides the States with new
authority to remove these billboards and
charge the owner for the removal costs.

MEMO TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
FROM PUBLIC WORKS DIR.
RE: PERMANENT EMPLOYMENT
OF LABORER/MAINT. WORKER
DA: SEPTEMBER 13, 1991
OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPT. HAS HAD TO OPERATE WITH
ONE LESS PERSON THAN FOR THE PAST 8-10 YEARS. THIS IS ALSO THE CASE NOW
FOR THE PARKS DEPT. BECAUSE OF THE RETIREMENT OF DICK BLEkUM. WE HAVE
GOTTEN BY SO FAR BECAUSE WE HAVE EMPLOYED TEMPORARY PART-TIME PEOPLE.
HOWEVER, WE ARE ONLY ALLOWED TO EMPLOYEE THE PART TIME PEOPLE FOR A 67
DAY PERIOD. THIS CREATES SOME PROBLEMS AND I WOULD HEREBY LIKE TO REQ-
UEST THE HIRING OF A FULL TIME LABORER/MAINT WORKER. ALTHOUGH THE PUBLIC
WORKS BUDGET FOR PERSONNEL DOES NOT INCLUDE AN ADDITIONAL EMPLOYEE THE
COSTS OF THE EMPLOYEE WOULD BE COVERED WITHIN THE OVERALL BUDGET.
IF THE REQUEST IS APPROVED I WOULD POST THIS POSITION OPENING FOR THE
APPROPRIATE AMOUNT OF TIME AND MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO THE COUNCIL AT
THE NEXT MEETING.

Dear Mayor & Council:
I received a call from Mike Borovsky, 820 Rainbow Court, who was
concerned about foot traffic between the new 61st Street and the
cal du sac where he lives on the end of Rainbow Court.
This is evidently a favorite spot for kids to walk between the
high school and the fast food restuarants and he has already had
kids fall on his steep driveway and get hurt.
Now that a new plat has been filed, we will be able to complete
our land transfer from Rose to the City so that the City will own
the land north of 61st Street and south of the Borovsky and
Tomasak property. I would suggest that you, the council and the
rec commissions, study this problem in order that we might avoid
liability for injuries resulting to these pedestrians.
Please call if you have any questions.
Yours very truly,
ti

RE: DOWNTOWN IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
Dear Council:
As you know, our firm has been retained by a number of the
merchants in Stillwater to advise and represent them regarding
the completion of the Downtown Improvement Project. Ms. Sandra
R. Boehm of our office appeared on their behalf at the City
Council Meeting on Tuesday, September 3, 1991. I represented
them at the Construction Meeting on September 5, 1991.
Our first concern is that temporary lighting is installed by the
end of this week. We are also concerned that the cost of the
lighting be assumed by the contractor, Johnson Brothers, Inc.
We sincerely hope it will not be necessary, but if the temporary
lighting is not installed by September 15, 1991, we will have no
choice but to initiate legal action to see that it is installed
as soon as possible.
Second, we are concerned that parking reserved during the work
week because of the construction be made available to the public
on weekends and holidays. It is my understanding that steps have
been initiated to make as much parking available as possible by
this weekend.
In general, our goals are to see that interim construction dates
are met, that the project is substantially completed by November
15, 1991, and that Johnson Bros. be held responsible for all
costs arising from the delays in completion.
Sincerely,
SANDRA R. BOEHM AND ASSOCIATES, LTD

Dear Mr. Diers:
CERTIFIED MAIL
As you are aware, the Washington County Board of Commissioners
took action to regulate railroad operations within the
unincorportated portions of the County on August 27, 1991. This
action was in the form of amendments to the Washington County
Zoning Ordinance and Zoning Map. Ordinance No. 88 creates a
railroad overlay zone district and performance standards for
regulated activities within that district. Ordinance No. 89,
zones the property owned by the Minnesota Transportation Museum
in Stillwater and Grant Townships to the Railroad Overlay zone
district. These ordinances, along with the Board resolutions
adopting them are included with this letter.
Section 749.03 of the Zoning Ordinance allows railroad operations
only under the provisions of a conditional use permit. This
letter will serve as official notice that you are required to
submit an application for a conditional use permit for the
railroad operations sponsored by the Minnesota Transportation
Museum, Inc. which operate over this section of track by November
1, 1991. The application must by submitted to Dennis O'Donnell,
Zoning Administrator, and must contain relevant information as
outlined in the Zoning Ordinance.
In complying with this requirement, Dennis O'Donnell or myself
are available to answer any question you may have about the
materials needed for submittal. After the application has been
received, and determined to be complete, a hearing will be
scheduled before the Washington County Planning Advisory
Commission.

September 12. 1991
Letter to the Editor,
The reconstruction of downtown Stillwater is the biggest joke I have ever
seen in my 30 plus years as a resident of this city.
i am frustrated. angry and completely dishearten by the GIANT mess that
my beautiful city is in! I feel that the responsibility of the appropriate
officials needs to be reviewed by the voting public of this city.
The reason for this outpouring of my frustration is the incident that
happened on Thursday, September 12, 1991. At approximately 5:15 PM. I
was enroute to night school in New Richmond, WI and had to use the
Stillwater Bridge as my shortest means of crossing the St. Croix. Upon
leaving my home on the West hill, I travelled down Myrtle St. towards
downtown. On Myrtle St. at. 3rd St. I was stopped by the continuous line of
traffic ahead of me. While awaiting for the traffic to proceed I observe a one
of our police cars located three cars behind me, had his arm out the window
and motioning the traffic to move. He was not happy either. For this point it
tool: me 25 minutes to reach the bridge.
t ast; you when is this mess going to be rectified! It appears the deadline
dates are not being met. What is it going to take?
The length of time for this project seems to be way out of proportion in
relationship to the Myrtle St. project and Owen St. project. Both of these also
required sewer separation, sidewalks, natural gas lines, and water lines.
All l have to say is "shame, shame, shame ". It appears someone should be
taken to task tor such a poor 1oh!1!
Ppy resident
