ing whereby the School District would be given the opportunity to purchase the
dumpsite when the construction was about to be finalized or the plans - this is
one option - the school board in an informal approach to the matter suggest to
the Council that they be allowed to purchase the dumpsite and that the City would
be allowed to lease it back for as long a period as needel until the school is
constructed at a nominal consideration. He asked that the Council think about it
and they will present it in a written and formal fashion for further consideration.
No footings could be put on this proprty and it would be used as a playground.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
- -- -This was the day and time for the public hearing on Case No. 321, a garage variance
for Craig McKeever, 209 EAst Wilkins Street.
Notice of the hearing was published in the Stillwater Evening Gazette, the
official newspaper of the City on May 12, 1978 and copies were mailed to all
property owners within 300 feet.
The Mayor opened the hearing
Mrs. McKeever was in attendance.
RAY ZAWORSKI, 1024 North First Street, asked how large a garage is proposed and
he was informed it would be 24 x 26 feet. Will it be fronting on Wilkins or
Second Street - (it will front on Wilkins Street). He questionted if this would
simply be a garage or a garage for automotive work is done. He was told that
it would only be personal work. He added that Mr. McKeever seems to have a lot
of automobiles in the area.
MRS. ZAWORSKI, said there are many automobiles on his property including a bus
and many of these vehicles are without motors. She questioned whether this would
alleviate the problem or intensify the problem.
MR. MAGNUSON stated that Mr. McKeever may not carry on a business there which would
be a Commercial Use. if he is letting his friends work there for nothing the
ordinance could prohibit that. The only way would be if it creates a nuisance to the
neighbors then the ordinance would apply.
COUNCILMAN POWELL stated that we do have an ordinance where recreational vehicles
must be concealed and it must be screened or be inside the garage.
JEFF ZOLLER stated that the Planning Commission approved the variance with the

On motion of Councilman Peterson, seconded by Councilman Powell, the
Council granted the 33 foot variance for a garage for Mr. Kimble at 1212
North Owens Street as recommended by the Planning Commission to build
a 20 x 26 foot attached garage with the restriction that there be no
construction over the sewer easement that is located on the property.
(All in favor)
- -- -This was the day and time for the public hearing on Case No. 319, garage
variance for Dave Madsen, 1312 North Broadway.
Notice of the hearing was published in the Stillwater Gazette, the
official newspaper of the City on May 12, 1978 and copies were mailed to all
property owners within 300 feet.
The Mayor opened the hearing.
DAVE MADSEN asked why he needed a variance and the City Attorney explained the
ordinance in detail on this matter to clarify same.
ED RAUEN, 1220 North Broadway, stated that he lives directly across from where
there is already a 20 x 20 foot building on this lot and this would be another
24 x 24 building on the same lot. He also presented a petition to the City
Council signed by 16 of the meighbors that are in opposition to the proposed
garage.
COUNCILMAN PETERSON asked Mr. Madsen what his plans are for the building that
is currently there and Mr. Madsen stated that because of the underground con-
crete construction it is impossible to remove it and it will be used for storage.
BRUCE KNOWLTON, 1204 North Broadway, questioned why Mr. Madsen needed to build
another garage as other people have come up and down Broadway for years and he
did not feel that they needed another eyesore in the neighborhood.
COUNCILMAN PETERSON stated that the garage was there before we had the zoning
ordinance and it was grandfathered in and questions were raised about the size
of this lot and whether or not it would be buildable today. They can build on
7,500 square feet, but that there are 5,000 square foot lots that were turned
down. It is a separate lot - if there are 16 neighbors that are directly affected
and they are all opposed to it. He questioned why we had public hearings.
JEFF ZOLLER stated that the Planning Commission felt it would not impose a major
problem on the neighborhood and that the restrictions that they placed on it
would satisfy Mr. Madsen and the neighbors. They also felt that a 4,000 square
foot lot is unbuildable and since it abuts his property there was no reason to
deny it - it was unanimous vote.
TOM EWING, 1305 North First Street, stated that Mr. Madsen is a terrible house-
keeper with cement blocks lying around the property for two years and he started
some repairs on his house which have not been completed.
COUNCILMAN PETERSON asked how many of the Planning Commission went up and looked
_ at the site and MR. ZOLLER did not ask them - COUNCILWOMAN BODLOVICK stated that
she had viewed the site and she stated that it does look that he would have a
terrible time to remove the old cement garage that is currently there - he did
say that he will remove the shed - the neighbors were more concerned about him
operating a repair service and since he agreed not to do this that certainly
the construction of a new garage would enhance this property.
COUNCILMAN POWELL stated that you have to drive in a long driveway for the
current building and then go around the house to get into the driveway.
The Mayor closed the hearing.
Councilman Peterson moved to deny the request for the variance
for the garage at 1312 North Broadway. ;The motion died for the lack of
a second).
On motion of Councilman Powell, seconded by Councilwoman Bodlovick,
the Council granted a variance to Mr. Dave Madsen, 1312 North Broadway
to construct a garage on a 40 x 100 foot parcel with the provision that
the applicant keep the property in such condition as to be pleasant to
the neighbors and that the building be constructed in accordance with
the following five conditions as recommended by the Planning Commission:
1. Proposed garage will be completed within ninety lays from the date
the variance is issued.
2. The old shed will be torn down 45 days after completion of the new
3. The property will be maintained up to proper standards of the neighborhood.
garage.
4. The new garage will be constructed with all new materials.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS (out of order)
RELIANCE DEVELOPMENT PROPOSED PLAT
MR. WINDEN briefly explained the original and the alternate plans for this
development. The alternate to the original proposal which was brouglt to the
Planning Commission takes out Darrell Court and extends it to an outlet to come
off of County 12 and created 9 additional lots and which resulted in the loss
of the majority of the open space. This would require massive grading in the
central portion of the plat and this would be a very inefficient plat - no lots
fronting on the easterly portion of the new street.
MR. ELLIOTT asked about the grades of the streets coming off of Darrell Court
and he said they were within the 8 to 10 percent grades.
JEFF ZOLLER stated that the Planning Commission viewed the original proposal
shown tonite and the alternate and discussed them at three meetings and it was
their recommendation to approve the original proposal because they felt that
the amount of open space that the City would receive was more valuable than
the road. —
TOM FARRELL, 205 Crestwood Terrace, asked relative to what was presented earlier
this evening regarding the dumpsite that the school board wants to buy, if we
looked three to five years - if the school does build a facility down there -
if Reliance builds on the south side of County 12 and also on the North side
there they have plats, if it not reasonable to assume that the County might
remove their restrictions on that road in terms of speed anyway and, therefore,
they could put in another entry onto to 12.
COUNCILMAN POWELL stated that he had asked the County Engineer at the beginning
of the meeting and he told him any access to 12 farther west than the one that
they saw tonite could easily involve an accident because of the short span that
you have of vision from over the hill.
MAYOR JUNKER stated that the County Engineer is definitely opposed to changing the a
exits on County 12 any farther west than it is now - he is really death against that.
COUNCILMAN POWELL felt that we reed that access onto County 12 whether it comes off
the cul -de -sac at Bayberry or where it comes, he felt it is important to the quality
of the area - the safety of the area and felt it would have to go in. It is going
to relieve a tremendous amount of congestion. Mr. Shelton has tried to take a
count on Maryknoll Drive but the kids have been bouncing on it and they are unable
to get a count. The City could get one of the volunteer helpers from the County up
there to keep the kids off the counter as it is important to know what the traffic
count is on Maryknoll as there is no question that the traffic has doubled on that
street since the County Road was completed. A variation of this plan should be
made so that there can be some access down there and it would also take it off
Crestwood Terrace.
COUNCILMAN MAHONEY stated that the only people this would affect are the people
on Bayberry as people going any other direction would not be using it, as they
would use Maryknoll or Crestwood. He was weighing his decision as to what would be
lost in open space and what additional cost with no real benefit.
COUNCILWOMAN BODLOVICK asked how it would reduce the open land and the response
was over one -half.
COUNCILMAN POWELL stated that the beauty of that area is the pond and the wild-
life in the area and whether or not there were a lot of trees there or not would
still have the "slueth" in that area.
COUNCILMAN MAHONEY stated that the kids play there all of the time now and it is
a good hill for sliding and it is probably one of the best used areas in the City
of Stillwater.
MAYOR JUNKER felt that if you took away the wild portion of the area with this road
and it would be really nice to keep that.
COUNCILMAN MAHONEY agreed that County 12 off of Bayberry - just that little corner
and get out onto 12 would be nice to have but weighing that against the cost of
doing it and what you are losing by it he did not see that much advantage to it.
There is an awful lot of additional cost that is not going to be absorbed other
than adding it to the cost of the people who are buying the property - the dev-
eloper is not going to pay the cost - the costs that are incurred are going back
to the people who buy the lots.

TIM COWEN, 202 Crestwood Terrace, (now at 406 West Olive), -one of the beauties
of Stillwater are the hills - heard a lot of talk about grades - the one off
Bayberry would be 107, which might be steep - we live on Olive Street which is
steep and also Myrtle is steep and with the excellent maintenance in the City
of Stillwater and if it can be done without destroying the hills. He felt that
we need some type of impact statement as to the impact of traffic on the area,
what would be the impact on safety, what would the impact be on the hills -
what would it look like.
TOM CHAFFIN, 2002 FAIRMEADOWS ROAD, did not feel that the alternate proposal was
a serious proposal - it was submitted under protest by the developer - they were
asked to come back with a proposal that used County 12 more effectively. He
felt that this was merely an addition and did not seriously make use of County 12
for traffic. He understood the County Engineer's objections, but they built that
road and it is their interest to make some use of that road as citizens of this
County and has no good unless it has some access. He felt that the City should
go back and have another talk with them. He felt that there is also traffic
" problems on County 5 with the extra traffic that is coming down Crestwood, Mary -
knoll Drive entering on County 5 that is already congested. What they are talking
about here is trading one problem for another - if the land is developable, they
should develop it to make sure of the very expensive roads that we as City and
County residents have paid for.
MR. WINDEN stated that he feels quite strongly about steep grades and the City
of Stillwater was developed over 100 years ago when they didn't have cars -
there was the horse and people on foot. He felt that if Stillwater were redesigned
today they would not have the steep grades and hills. Alternate proposals were
tried through the County Planning Department and the County Engineer, the City
Planning Department and over the past ten years he has seen at least four differ-
ent plans prepared for this site. He indicated that they are trying to get the
traffic out of this area onto to County 12.
SIGNE COWEN, 202 Crestwood Terrace (now 406 West Olive Street), stated that the
residents of the area would like to see some access to County 12 and they did
not feel the alternate presented to the Planning Commission is adequate and felt
that there has to be some other proposal that they can draw up. The easiest and
least expensive but not most desirable would be to extend Bayberry to County 12
which has a 10 to 11 percent grade for 300 feet. That would go right onto to
12 and people going downtown would use it and it would not disturb the rest of
the plat - would not disturb an area below the hill or the swamp and would not
add additional houses - it would provide a direct access to 12 that would be used.
(This item will appear on the agenda for June 6, 1978 for
Council action).

top at the request of the neighbors. The kids are playing in the open area

this area being used as a skating rink or a playground.

2. Mr. Magnuson informed the City Council that he had prepared a deed and
sent it over to Dominium and we are now waiting for the money on that real
estate transaction.
COUNCILMAN PETERSON reminded the City Attorney that it should be in the
purchase agreement that they have to close that well off on that property
and it has to be done to State specifications and they were several years
ago that part of their cost was to cap that well in the proper manner.
3. Mr. Magnuson reviewed the application which,was made by Mr. Schwab and the
City for grant monies for the Comprehensive Plan for the City.
He indicated to the Council that there are legal fees in the amount
of $2,700 which could be taken from the $21,700 total which was calculated
and also $3,000 to $4,000 for engineering fees which could be taken out.
He informed the Council that there is another source of funds - the
State Planning Agencies and if we apply before June 1st of this year the
maximum we could get would be two - thirds of our entire budget costs.
He was also informed by one of the agencies that we might be required
to submit an environmental impact statement along with the Comprehensive
Plan. If the plan is not done in the proper manner, they are going to plan
transportation, streets, sewer and all these things and felt it was extremely
important to the City.
Mr. Magnuson reminded the Council that the County is paying Carl Dale
for the planning of the Joint Powers area - they have just paid Carl Dale
$2,000 to do a zoning map of that area that they are going to use - there is
a lot of planning to do.
COUNCILMAN PETERSON felt that there hasn't been a plan in the past that has
been good for more than five years and this one will also be obsolete.

time for the swamplands in the area and the flood plain areas.
