JEFF ZOLLER, Chairman of the Planning Commission, reported that they heard ^" the case at their last meeting, but that they tabled the matter until they received a report from Mr. Schwab of the Washington County Planning Department. Also they want additional information from the developers as to environmental factors and also other information on surveys. A representative for the developer stated that he sent a set of the plans to Mr. Schwab and has been attempting to set -up z meeting but up to this time it has been impossible. (This was Mr. Stan Fischer the architect speaking). There are questions about the present water lines and the survey of the area as to dry and wet land. Parking and outside lighting were the two concerns at the Planning Commission meeting. COUNCILMAN POWELL requested that a set of the plans be left at City Hall so that people could come in and look them over and Mr. Fischer stated a set was left here. COUNCILMAN PETERSON asked Mr. Zoller how this property was presently zoned and he replied that it is zoned Multi - Family and would not require rezoning. The only permit required is the Special Use Permit that is required for any new Multi - Family dwelling - no variances of any kind. MAYOR JUNKER asked how much land there was here and MR. ZOLLER said the reii s is about seven acres in total but there is only 41 acres of dry land, and enough for this size building. COUNCILMAN PETERSON said that the people , that ts re he here this eveninguhadian hance th to inspect these plans at the Planning meeting and this time was whether or not the Council was going to continue the hearing for the balance of the information that the Planning Commission has requested. COUNCILMANhP�LLoaskedwhohow manylsstories ories andubow8hightand he was informed it On motion of Councilman Mahoney, seconded by Councilman ouncil meeting in the hearing was continued to the June 7, 17 order to have available all of the requested by the Planning Commission. - -This was the day and time for the public hearing on utilities for the Hooley Development north of Highway 212. Notice of the hearing was published in the Stillwater Evening and Gazette, i, the official benefitedyarea. copies The Mayor opened the hearing. DUANE ELLIOTT presented the feasibility study for this proposed improvement. He stated that the whole area between County Road No. 5 and Oasis Avenue would be considered at this me two have geen reviewed in the past. Th ifferent states drainzge Hooley petition included at this time, . but they geen could be statsfied by construction under Stage I. A lateral sewer would have to be constructed to service the Kern property. Cost of the sewer would be divided into two portions - one lateral benefit and a trunk benefit on Drainage for the area is a subject for a future hearing and not an immediate an acre basis need with respect to the Hooley Development. There will have to be 4.8 acres reserved as a retention area for storm water for this area and a portion of it would rain to the north to Lily Lake with additional storm sewers needed in that area. Polices for the assessments would have to be firmed up by the Council and some approaches were discussed at a previous meeting. The total cost of the sanitary sewers was $111,000 which would be $466.00 per acre plus ttrunkwbenefitbenefits of $8.80 per front accessible footage for the lateral benefits; would be $63,240.00 with front foot costs of $26.50 and the reason for the high cost was due to the piecemal development. If all of the area were to be developed the costs could be spread over the whole area. The street assessment would be $27.13 per front foot. Also there is within the area one parcel of land owned by Hague which is till in the Township and there are some green acres property on which the City Attorney would have to make a determination on the assessments. MAX BELL, who owns property just off the highway on County 5 questioned how far the improvement would go and whether he would be included in Stage II. He has 233 feet of frontage and he was told that he would not be affected by Stage I and that the second stage is a matter of Council decision. He has not been informed as to whether or not he is in the City of Stillwater. He felt the cost could be abut be the he he see benefit to May 10, 1977 227 . • • • "228 R • • • May 10, 1977 MR. ELLIOTT stated that watermains were not proposed to go in front of his property - it is only proposed for the first stage and no watermains were proposed for the second stage. The sewer has to go east as that is where the service is. The watermains would come in from the east or the west and when they are constructed with property on both sides the cost is greatly reduced and with the proposal discussed at this time the small portion of watermain that had been petitioned for to serve the Hooley Development. It is not being assessed against Mr. Bell's property. MR. BELL asked about the mtion of serving the Kern Sod Farm and asked if that would include water and sewer and if it would affect the properties on the north side of Highway 212 and Mr. Elliott stated that the proposal mentioned earlier by Mr. Magnuson was for Press -On and could be served by Stage I, but anything south of the highway in Baytown Township would be serviced by Oak Park Heights. MR. MAGNUSON inquired about the assessments and felt the trunk capacity should be apread over the entire area. MR. ELLIOTT said that all watermains are twelve inches in size and somebody will have to pay as the City is not in a position to bankroll any of the costs. This property is very difficult to deal with because of the multiple ownership. The matter of how it is to be assessed is something that will have to be con- sidered by the Council before the improvement is ordered in. MR. BELL further questioned the proposed utilities and the area to be served and COUNCILMAN PETERSON stated that the request that MR. MAGNUSON made was that the City reserve some capacity somewhere along the line for Baytown Township and that Mr. Elliott had stated that this area would be served through the Oak Park Heights sewers and the sewer being considered here would be serviced through the Stillwater Sewer System. A CITIZEN questioned where the water would come and also he was informed that they do not have enough water on Oasis Avenue and MR. ELLIOTT stated that there is adequate water and that pressure has been a problem and this has been dis- cussed with the Water Board but it is his understanding that they have taken no action on the matter, but it is a part of his initial report. The net effect would be that there is ample supply for deomdstic supply, however, it would not be ample supply for fire protection, which will affect insurance rates for commercial developments. He has suggested to the Water Board that a well be constructed in a given area which could be activated at the time of a fire to give the necessary pressure which is needed for fire protection. This well was to be considered for construction at the time the population of the City would reach 15,000, but with these commercial developments this need has been accelerated at this time. LEONARD FEELY, 133995 North 65th Street, asked about the assessments to his property and MR. ELLIOTT clarified same in that he would be included in Stage I and the proposed assessments would be $466.00 per acre. MR. MAGNUSON felt that the watermains should be constructed in the proper manner to take care of all of the needs if the City is planning to do the improvement. There is not currently enough water pressure on Oasis Avenue to run a sprinkling system and they are in need of sprinkling systems especially for the Press -On building and also their other commercial buildings. MR. ELLIOTT cited the proposal that he sent to the Board of Water Commissioners on this water problem for this development. JACK HOOLEY had no objection to the Stage II proposal, but they really only asked for Stage I to get their proposed developments under construction, and COUNCIL- MAN MAHONEY stated that the additional cost to the property owners is very minimal. MR. ELLIOTT stated that if the City were to go ahead with State II there would be some lateral benefit to the Hooley Property. The Stage II cost would be $50,400 and there would be a $1,900 cost for the sharing of the cost of the Greeley Street pumping station. There would be an additional cost of $7,650 to the Hooley property for the construction of Stage II. The additional costs would be assessed against the 96 acres at $466.00 per acre to cover the cost. He further stated that he was not aware of the fact that one parcel of land, the house owned by Hauge, is still in the Township and this could be assessed as a connection charge. MRS. FEELY asked about the sewer line on their property and she was informed that this would be a trunk sewer. She voiced objection to the proposed assessment, but felt that she did not want to stop progress. She also asked Mr. Elliott about the location of the proposed streets for the development. r • • • • May 10, 1977 MR. ELLIOTT stated that the City accepted the proposed streets as outlined by Mr. Ripple and the one street would go the west of the Feely home and would be a normal setback. He further stated that in his estimates he did not include the cost of the easement going through the Feely property. JACK HOOLEY stated that his original request was for State I to take care of current development and they would be paying a lot of money for the property that has not been sold and that was his only objection. MR. ELLIOTT stated that in the whole project there is a saving that if the project is timed correctly there would be no restoration costs on Oasis Avenue if they can tie the project in with the County's improvement of County 66 or Oasis Avenue and this will result in considerable savings. MR. ELLIOTT further clarified the costs of the two projects to Mr. Hooley - State I would cost $111,000 with an additional $52,000 for Stage II and that the additional cost of State II to the Hooley Development for the second stage s` would be about $7,000. JEFF ZOLLER asked what effect this would have on the Joint Powers Agreement and also the street locations within the development and MR. KIMMEL stated that they are concerned primarily with zoning and planning and before he builds it will have to be approved by the Joint Planning Commission. Questions were asked about the necessary easements and street locations and Pe' widths and Mr. Elliott stated these easements could be either temporary or permanent and that the City requires an eighty foot right -of -way for a commercial or industrial development. The Mayor closed the hearing. On motion of Councilman Mahoney, seconded by Councilman Peterson, a resolution was introduced "ORDERING THE IMPROVEMENT OF STAGE I AND STAGE II INCLUDING WATER AND STREETS TO SERVICE THE HOOLEY PROPERTY AND ADJOINING PROPERTIES" AYES -- Councilwoman Bodlovick, Councilmen Mahoney, Peterson, Powell and Mayor Junker NAYS - -None (see resolutions) UNFINISHED BUSINESS 1.

(all in favor) 5. Rivertown Restoration submitted to the City Council a proposal to form a Nelson School Condominium Association to serve as agent for the City of Stillwater to deve -op the Nelson School Property into a four -unit con - dominium.' MR. KIMMEL stated that he was not clear about the record on this thing, what they are concerned about is that they approved or disapprove the proposal they have made before they make more specific plans for the property. They would like to have the city's feeling and then they will go ahead to find someone who would develop same in this manner. 229 j. • • • • (230 • t The Mayor asked Jeff Zoller if this was zoned for a condominium and he replied "no" and that is one of the problems. On motion of Councilnan Mahoney, seconded by Councilman Peterson, the Council directed that the City Attorney meet with the attorney for RTR to draw up some agreement and come back to the Council for their approval. (all in favor) COUNCILMAN POWELL stated that we will have problems with the people in the area as soon as this is known, but RTR replied that they have the approval of one neighbor and the other neighbors are willing to work with them. They are interested in preserving the building. NEW BUSINESS ► 1. Discussion was held regarding the patroling of the City Park on the north side of the bridge due to a complaint received from residents on the top of the hill following a fire in the area. The Council agreed that this area should be left open and only as a last resat should it be closed off to the public. Chief Abrahamson indicated that actually the fire had nothing to do with kids - it was a businessman who went over there without a permit to do some burning.and had no business being there and the fire was just an unfortunate situation. Mayor Junker will attend their meeting on Thursday on this matter. 2. On motion of Councilman Peterson, seconded by Councilman Powell, Council- woman Bodlovick was designated to attend the A -95 Process for Grants meeting to be held in St. Paul on May 20, 1977.

(all in favor) 1 • May 10, 1977 There was disagreement as to what conditions the property was accepted from the School District and it was concluded that the property was given to the City of Stillwater with no strings attached. It was agreed that the Mayor had contacted the Margaret Rivers Foundation and they agreed to give the City $25,000 for tennis courts at this site and due to the fact that only two courts could be placed on this site it was abandoned and the Mayor was to look into putting three courts at the old athletic field site but the School District would not agree to the location of same. The Mayor felt that the City should go back to the School District and Mr. Kimmel felt there was no need to go back to them and that the City could dispose of the building or have something done which would be beneficial to the City of Stillwater. MR. HAGSTROM said they will proceed as agents representing the City and get some dollars out of it and they could put a value on it and assess it to the four people and put the property back on the tax rolls. They want an agreement so tht they can talk with the people and come up with some concrete plans and move forward. They would like their attorney to meet with the City Attorney to see what can be worked out. • c • • • COUNCIL CHAMBER Stillwater, Minnesota t ./ • v May 10, 1977 7:30 P. M.
