DARRELL KNUTSON, 622 West Olive Street, appeared before the City Council petition- ing that the Council reconsider their request for a three -way stop sign at the corner of Martha and Olive. CHIEF ABRAHAMSON had recommended this signing at the time of the original petition.

AYES -- Councilmen Peterson, Thompson and President Junker NAYS -- Councilwoman Bodlovick, Councilman Mahoney (see resolutions) 2. MARY JIRIK, 2107 Dundee Place, appeared before the City Council regarding the sidewalk to be installed on County Road 5 between Oakridge Road and Dundee Place for the safety of the children walking to the Lily Lake School. She asked about the cost of this sidewalk and MR. SHELTON estimated that it would cost about $1,400. She complained about the high drifts that are located in this area after the plows have finished. She further stated that there are 599 students in the Lily Lake School and of that number about 109 come from the west of County Road No. 5 and she did not feel that cost to the taxpayers would justify such an expenditure. She has lived there for eleven years and there has never been an accident in this area. She commended the children for this and further felt that the sidewalks should be cleared during the winter months prior to 8 o'clock in the morning, at 11:00 A. M. and 2:30 P. M.when the children return from school. She has never discouraged the children from walking on her property. COUNCILMAN MAHONEY stated that he had many, many calls as it has been a subject of discussion for sometime and something is needed in that area. He did not feel that there should be kids walking on County Road 5 due to heavy traffic in this area. COUNCILMAN PETERSON asked about the original request and he was informed it came from Mrs. Newman and the Council did order the improvement but the con- tractor had already left town for the season last fall. COUNCILMAN MAHONEY stated that part of the problem are the trees on the property which are in the right -of -way. CHIEF ABRAHAMSON said that the squads are getting the kids across the street at 8 o'clock in the morning - when the kids congregate to get across the street they are playing around and running into the street, but they have been getting them to school early to avoid any possible accidents. • • ■ 1 • • 628 • Orrober 26, 1974 MRS. JIRIK suggested that the school officials and someone from the Police Department get together and possibly come in with some different ideas and she could not see where it would be that effective unless the sidewalks were plowed at the proper times.

Notice of the hearing was published in the 8 and 15, 1976 and h Stillwater Evening Gazette, the official newspaper of the City on September 25, October copies were mailed to all property owners within 300 feet. The Mayor opened the hearing. COUNCILMAN PETERSON asked Mr. Kimmel if this would put the utilities in the proper places and MR. ELLIOTT stated that the City would get signed easesments for the utilities. MR. KIMMEL commented further that there is now a house located in the one area in question. MR. KALINOFF appeared and made a few brief statements. • • • ■ • • 1 p • October 26, 1976 n6.\\. THE MAYOR CLOSED THE HEARING. On motion of Councilman Peterson, seconded by Councilman Thompson, a resolution was introduced "VACATING A PORTION OF LOOKOUT STREET" subject to necessary easements for the utilities, as recommended by the City attorney. AYES -- Councilwoman Bodlovick, Councilmen Mahoney, Peterson, Thompson and President Junker NAYS - -None (see resolutions) THE MAYOR DECLARED A RECESS FROM 8:35 to 8:45 P. M. 2. This was the day and tine for the public hearing on Case No. 254 for a Special Use Permit for Michael J. Marzolf, 110 South Greeley Street. The notice of the hearing was published in the Stillwater Gazette, the official newspaper of the City on October 15, 1976 and copies were mailed to all property owners within 300 feet. The Mayor opened the hearing MR. MARZOLF stated that this will be storage for snowmobiles, boates and there would be no daily in and out activities - it is his intention to improve the looks of the building. On the north side he will plant trees and there will be a fence on the south side and he will have an office in the building. JOHN LENTSCH, who owns the duplex at 104 South Greeley questioned if someone else took over if they would have to get a new permit or would they just take over this permit and he was informed that if it continued for the same use it could be transferred, but for another use it would require a new permit. COUNCILWOMAN BODLOVICK stated that the permit will be reviewed by the Planning Commission in one year, and also that five stipulations were placed on the permit. EDWARD MONTBRIAND, 122 South Greeley Street, stated that he was in favor if every- thing Mr. Marzolf has listed will be done. The building now is run down, but it all the improvements are made it will be fine. ROY RYDEEN, 917 West Myrtle Street, said it all sounds real good and it should increase the value of his property, but hopefully not his taxes. COUNCILMAN PETERSON questioned whethere there will continue to be trucks parked on the street and other heavy equipment - some of the neighbors are concerned about this and Mr. Marzolf felt that possibly there would be such vehicles from his operation. The Mayor closed the hearing. On motion of Councilman Mahoney, seconded by Councilwoman Bodlovick a resolution was introduced "GRANTING A SPECIAL USE PERMIT TO MICHAEL MARZOLF FOR A STORAGE BUILDING AT 110 SOUTH GREELEY STREET ", subject to the recommendations of the Planning Commission.

AYES -- Councilwoman Bodlovick, Councilmen Mahoney, Peterson, Thompson and President Junker NAYS - -None (see resolutions) UNFINISHED BUSINESS October 26, 1977 HOOLEY-FEELY-CROIXGATE DEVELOPMENTS CHARLES HOOLEY stated that the County has accepted the proposed site for the nursing home on the Croixgate property but they have had no official action by the board. He also stated that he had talked with three people and they have agreed that the best site would be the one off Greeley Street. He and the Feelys are oppcsed to the sewer improvements proposed for this area and they own 78% of the total property in the area. DAVID MAGNUSON, speaking in behalf of Bud Kern, for Press -On and the new proposed building where they presently employ over 50 people and the new addition will possibly have 20 more and neither of these facilities ha.e sanitary sewer and water and they have a need for it. They have also purchased the Consolidated property at the northeast corner of Highways 212 and 36 and will have a need for it there and they also own 300 acres across from the intersection which is under sod at tLe present time, which is zoned retail business and asked if the lateral would be large enough to serve that area. DUANE ELLIOTT said he had talked to Carl Brandt of the Metro Council since the last meeting and the interceptor which would serve 1,000 acres outside of the City possibly would not be taken over by them - he did not get a definite answer to this question. As explained at the last meeting part could go into Stillwater and part into Oak Park Heights with the twelve inch pipe to go under the highway. He felt that the Stillwater system should be used to the extent that it can be used and any present capacity in the Oak Park Heights system could be reserved for further developments for the property south of Highway 212 and parts of Baytown. MR. HOOLEY stated that the agreement at the time that Mr. Rippel presented the plans to the City Council that the development would be from east to west in an orderly fashion and he felt that extending these utilities to serve the most westerly portion hardship to the properties on the east that not ready to be fully developed. COUNCILMAN PETERSON stated that the Joint Powers Planning Commission last evening voted four to one as being opposed to the PUD presented by Croixgate and that this has some bearing on the installation of these utilities as well as the location of the nursing home and questioned what steps the Council should follow. MR. CHAMBERLAIN commented that they did not deny it - they did not approve it. COUNCILWOMAN BODLOVICK, said that this was zoned industrial and the present PUD would be for mixed uses and this PUD concept was not approved by the Joint Powers Planning Commission. The County Planner recommended approval of this last PUD plan for Croixgate. MR. CHAMBERLAIN stated that they have permits from the County for a 30,000 square foot warehouse on file with the County since May of 1976. MAYOR JUNKER could not see any reason for not running the sewer up there to put in those buildings. r • • • • • a • • ^ COUNCILMAN PETERSON said that we are giving 787 of the property owners the shaft in doing this. HAROLD KI[M1EL stated that we could make a finding that the Feelys are not benefited and allocate some portion of the cost, but this wouldn't help them that much. Possibly by next year they might be willing to pay the assessments - find that they are not presently benefited. In the meantime the City would have to levy General Taxes to pay their portion of the assessments. MR. HOOLEY requested that this matter be postponed until the next Council meeting so that they can get together with Mr. Kern. DUANE ELLIOTT said that piece -meal projects are difficult - the Council could defer the assessments to Feely and Hooley and then use it as a connection charge in lieu of assessments for that first portion. MR. KIMMEL said this would be a finance problem as far as the City is concerned as they would have to levy general taxes to make the bond payments. COUNCILMAN PETERSON said that the general consensus of opinion was that the development should proceed from the east to the west in an orderly fashion and to develop the utilities in the same way. MR. CHAMBERLAIN stated that one of the stipulations of the Orderly Annexation Agreement was signed August, 1975 that the City will provide utilities within a two year period following annexation. MR. KIMMEL said that property can be annexed when it is about to be developed or in the process of being developed and municipal services are within a reason- able distance to it, it will be provided to it within two years. MR. ELLIOTT said that the sewer is the critical problem and without a 16 inch line for the water there would be insurance protection problems and the rates would be higher, and it is all dependent upon what kind of construction that will be put on these properties. MR. CHAMBERLAIN commented that a bank or any store of any size would require a sprinkler system MR. HOOLEY stated that he was informed that an eight inch main is adequate for this purpose. COUNCILMAN MAHONEY said that he felt that this Council accepted the annexation requrest for the property in the area of Croixgate and Bud Kern's property and he thought Mr. Kimmel in his statement of what was to be annexed stated it was property that was about to be developed and if they are not going to allow development, they should not have accepted the annexation petition. MAYOR JUNKER asked Mr. Chamberlain if the City were to run these utilities west to County Road No. 5 and provide the looped water line, if they would be willing to pay 100% of this cost before they develop their property - that is pay the I.4 full share now as opposed to assessments over a ten or fifteen year period. (The total estimated cost of these items would be about $404,000 for this develop- ment). MR. CHAMBERLAIN said that he would have to ask his Board of Directors about this. COUNCILMAN THOMPSON said that at the present time Hooley only needs water and sewer from the east which would be an eight inch line. HAROLD FOSTER said thqt from his experience an eight inch line is not adequate. Kroy Industries have never had any problems, but when the line is looped it makes all the difference in the world. RICHARD ULRICH questioned the various developments in this area. MAYOR JUNKER stated that this was not clearly spelled out to Croixgate and they possibly would not have purchased this property and Feely and Hooleys don't want all of these utilities. The County would accept anything for the Nursing Home location and Kern's are for it. CHARLES HOOLEY felt that the City was responsible for orderly development from east to west and that is the way it should go - we don't need two shopping centers or three shopping centers. DAVID MAGNUSON made mention that the used car lot in this area does not have any type of utilities available to their site. He also made mention that the Emerson property was annexed in 1971 along with Mr. Thompson and he has developed it. P" October 26, 1976 • • 1 1 • • (132 HAROLD KIMMEL stated that the Emerson property is zoned by the County as this was in the Township and was added on to the Thompson annexation.

On motion of Councilman Peterson, seconded by Councilman Thompson, the City's representatives on the Joint Planning Commission were instructed to oppose the Croixgate PUD as presented. AYES -- Councilman Peterson,Councilman Thompson and Mayor Junker NAYS -- Councilwoman Bodlovick, Councilman Mahoney (motion carried) Comments were made following the motion by Mr. Chamberlain that the Council should consider the recommendation of the County Planner and the Comprehensive Plan which was prepared by Carl Dale which recommended the land be developed or designated for mixed uses. MR. HOOLEY said there is o much commercial land now and we don't need any more designated as commercial. COUNCILMAN MAHONEY stated that the two members of the Stillwater Township Board with their Joint there is strong without votemay consultation be overturned. 3. This was the day and time for the bid opening for Police Cars. The advertisement for bids was published in the Stillwater Gazette, the official newspaper of the City on October 15, 1976.
