M. 7,30 P. M. 1. PUBLIC HEARINGS This was the day and time for the continuatibn of the hearing on Case No. 476 for Williams/O'Brien Associates for the Interlachen Hills Plat. MAYOR PETERSON informed the audience of the informational hearing/meeting that they had on this matter on Wednesday. March 27th. MR. MOORE briefly reported on the sewer availability for this plat and the possible emergency problems that could be caused by the cul-de-sacs in this plat which are strictly in house problems. MR. MOORE also reported on the maintenance problems such as snow plowing and stated that they could store the snow at the end of the cul-de-sacs since there will be no homes located there. but that they would need easements from the developer for the ingress and egress for such maintenance procedures. As far as the traffic there would possibly be an incr~ase of ten cars per day with the configuration indicated on the plat and th~y did not feel that this would be detrimental to the traffic for this area - they will still continue to go out to County Five to get to St. Paul rather than going out County Road No. 12. There was discussion about the Developer's Agreement which will include the easements for the utilities and for the snow maintenance - also the covenants that there will not be additional homes built on the southerly open space of this plat. There were a few questions posed by members of the audience which were answered by the Developer. The Mayor clos~d the hearing. On motion of Councilwoman Bodlovick, seconded by Councilman Kimble. the Council granted Concept Approval for the Interlachen Hills Plat as presented. (all in favor) 433 . .

This was the day and time for the continuation of the hearing on Case No. 475 for Donald Nolde for an Office Complext at Third and Olive Streets. The Mayor opened the hearing. MR. NOLDE stated that they purchased this property from Phil Easton and they plan to have an office building with ten parking stalls unde1 the building and then off. street parking stalls. The Planning Commdssion limited this building to 12 units - they have applied for eight and this was agreeable to the petitioner. No one appeared in favor or opposition to this request. The Mayor closed the hearing. On motion of Councilwoman Bodlivick. seconded by Councilwoman Avise. the Council approved the request for an Office Complex at Third and Olive with a limitation of twelve units as recommended by the Planning Commission. (all in favor) 3. This was the day and time for the public hearing on Case No. 477 for Nella Larson for a bed/breakfast facility at 210 East Laurel Street. Notice of the hearing was publIshed in the Stillwater Evening Gazette, the official newspaper of the City on March 24, 1983 and copies were mailed to all property owners within 300 feet. The Mayor opened the hearing. MRS. NELLA LARSON stated that they will have only three rooms available - should be only three cars at one time and there is off-street parking available and there will be no parking on the street. The Planning Commission received no objections and they recommended passage of same. CHRIS ALDAINY, owner of the property. stated that she has no objection to any limita- tions that maybe placed on this request. NEAL CASEY, 107 E. Laurel, stated that they are concerned as to what the policy is on such bed/breakfast operations - is there a limitation on the number of such facilities and they had car.erns since Mrs Larson i.s not the owner of this property and MAYOR PETERSON stated that there is no policy and this is only the second request that the Council has received to date. MR. MAGNSUON stated that any Commercial business in such a zone is permitted if it is in harmony with the neighborhood and that every often people ob~ain permits when they have an option to purchase property and that the permit goes to the land not the p~rson. DANIEL MAC DONALD. 118 E. Laurel, was concerned with granting a commercial license for this property and felt that this was a departure from the zoning for this area and was afraid what could happen in the future to this area. MR. MAGNUSON stated that this does not have the effect of a zoning change the Council doesn't give up anything by granting such a Special Use Permit and there is no legal precedent in his opinion. MR. MAC DONALD asked if they could put on limits for the future and Mrs. Larson ceases to operate this facility. MIKE O'BRIEN, 106 E. Laurel. asked if this would be restricted to this type of business and MAYOR PETERSON stated that this would depend upon the permit that is granted. MARY ROGERS felt that we have to keep in mind that there a)~e many other people in the area that enjoy the beautiful park area and the St. Croix Valley and she could not ,-. see any adverse affect for such an operation at this location. ~ NEAL CASEY was concerned that this will become a Commercial piece of property - that once it becomes a bed and breakfast for three then it could be four, five or six and that this could lead to the commercialization of the North Hill - they enjoy the view and they feel that it should be enjoyed from property that the people own. MRS. ALDAINY stated that they have no intention to down-grade the neighborhood _ they enjoy Stillwater and anything that they would do in Stillwater would be an asset to the City of Stillwater - they will have no financial gain in this matter. THE MAYOR CLOSED THE HEARING. On motion of Councilwoman Avise, seconded by Councilman MacDonald, the Council granted the Special Use Permit for a Bed/Breakfast Facility 3t 210 East Laurel Street with the following restrictions: 1. Maximum of three (3) bedrooms to be used for guests of the Inn 2. Maximum of six (6) guests per day 3. No liquor to he sold to or consumed by guests on the 4.

This was the day and time for the public hearing on Case No. 460 for Ernest and Colette Pr2imesberger for variances for a new home on the corner of Abbott and Everett Streets. Notice of the hearing was published in the Stillwater Evening Gazette, the official newspaper of the City, on March 24, 1983 and copies were mailed to all property owners within 300 feet. The Mayor opened the hearing. MRS. PREIMESBERGER explained the variance that they are requesting for the ten foot on Everett Street and a variance for a prlVacy fence on the EVe~ett Street side of the property - due to the contour of the property they will have a walk- out basement with a chain link fence on the east and south sides behind the house and a privacy fence along Everett Street. The Planning Commission had a split vote on this matter as reported by Josephine Vania. She was the descending vote - she felt that the entire lot was buildable and did not see the need for a variance - she was also concerned about the other two lots and their setbacks when they come to build. ELMER FOSTER. 805 West Abbott. (present owner of the old Janda Home) felt that the house should conform to the lot and he was opposed to giving variances and special permits and it appears to him that they are too easy to get - he was concerned about the house that will be going in to the south of this lot. He was opposed to the City Attorney recommending variances, unless it is in the best interests of the other residents in the area. i~ t1" MR. MAGNUSON stated that he does not ~ecommend variances - it is a legislative decision made by the Council and the ordinance does provide for them in cases of hardship. and the kind of hardship that he felt that the ordinance covers is irregular shaped lots (not an economic hardship - but hardships particular to the site) - it is within the Council's discretion - the proponents must show the Council there are proper circumstances to grant the variance - the question is the setback and the ordinance provides a minimum 0:': thirty feet or matching the existing setback - if they place the building at twenty feet, then there is the establishment of a setback for the other lots and they would be required to lineup with this one if they built - they could go behind the twenty feet. MRS. PRElMESBERGER showed the house plans to Mr. Foster and the Council for their review and they will be 60 to 70 feet away from the Foster home - they will have 1,100 squa~e feet on the first floor,900 square feet on the second floor and a full basement with a walkout. ~ There was considerable discussion about the placement of this home on the property and the matter of height if they do not have the welkout basement feature, and the Building Official explained all of these details to the Council and appli- cants and others interested in the ~atter. MAYOR PETERSON was r.oncerned about establishing a twenty foot setback for those who build on Everett Street. ."k THE MAYOR CLOSED THE HEARING. COUNCILMAN KIMBLE felt that the public hearing has brought to light some questions that he had not considered prior and he moved that the Council table their vote on this matter until the next regular meeting on Apr~.l 19th so that the Council may view the request in its entirety as well as this site specifically and the proposal. COUNCILWOMAN AVISE seconded the motion. (all in favor) 5. This was the day and time for the public 1 earing on Case No. 48L for Dennis McKean, 905 West Hickory Street for a garage varianc~. Notice of the hearing was publsihed in the Stillwater Evening Gazette, the official newspaper of the City on March 24, 1983 and copies were mailed to all property owners within 300 feet. ~HE MAYOR OPENED THE HEARING. - MR. Me KEAN explained the drawing that he submitted with his request and answered the questions prese~ted to him. Hi$ immediate neighbor is not opposed to this request- he will he onE! foot -r'Jm her property - he plans to remove the single car garage which currently exists and he will be shortening his driveway about 24 feet. . . v . 436 Apdl 5. 1983 No one appeared regarding this request.

BARRY STACK presented the Linson Plat{David Linquist and Leighton Johnson) on South Greeley Street which has preliminary and final approval from the Joint Powers subject to some plan changes. The County Surveyor has approved this plat. GARY SWAGER who will be developing the property was in attendance also and they were uncertain as to the procedures to fina112e the plat. MR. MAGNUSON stated that the Council is just advisory to the Joint Powers - the jurisdiction over a subdivision regulations is vested in the Committee and most of the plats in this area have asked for the approval of the City for what it. is r worth. He did not feel that it is necessary but they ask for it anyway. If the Council is to entertain final approval. he felt that they should find out how the utilities are going to be handled there - to his knowledge this has not. been presented or filed with the Council and this was confirmed that it has not been done. There was discussion about this matter and MR. SWAGER stated that they would like to petition the City to get the improvements in and levy the assessments - there is also a question about the park dedication amount of $10,940 required before this plat can be signed and recorded. MR. MAGNUSON stated that the City usually does not proceed with the improvements until the Joint Powers approves the plat since the City has no authority to approve it - COUNCILWOMAN BDDLOVICK referred to the Joint Powers minutes re8irding this plat and one of the conditions of the permit was that they petition the City for sewer and water -- Tbe Counci.l delayed action on this matter until this petition is received but did indicate that they could hold the improvement hearing on May 3, 1983 at 7: 30 P. M. MR. MAGNUSON read at this time the six conditions that would have to be met on this plat as stated bY'the Joint Powers Commission. and MR.

JIM NASH, Sweeney Bros. and ED EATON, Borchert-Ingersoll, Inc. appeared before the Council to raise some objections to the bid specifications for the Grader and Loader. GEORGE EIDE. ZIEGLER. INC. stated that he felt that the bid specifications were completely proper and that any company could have submitted a bid if they chose to do so and that no one was eliminated by the bid specifications that the City had prepared. MR. MAGNUSON stated that there was nothing intentional in the bid specs that would limit anyone from bidding and that the procedure was legitimate - the Council could re-advertise. but what they have done up to this point is legal. There was discussion about including the buy/back feature as to not including this as part of the bid specs. A motion was made to reject all of the bids for the grader and loader and re- advertise and the Council would have a workshop with Jack and George t~ check out the specs which were withdrawn.

MAGNUSON did not feel that they would have to give him a chance to clarify his bid _ when you do that you are st.arting to negotiate with each one and there is some danger when you do that. MR.
