COUNCILMAN HARRY PETERSON asked if this piece of equipment has to be replaced
and MR. SHELTON stated that we have kept them for more than five years but after
that time there are some major maintenance items that have to be taken care of.

on the present loac.er and MR. SHELTON explained in detail what the problems

MAYOR JUNKER felt that we should advertise for bids for the sodding of the

7. PUBLIC HEARING FOR OAK GLEN DEVELOPMENT CO GOLF COURSE
COUNCILWOMAN BODLOVICK indicated that in setting this public hearing you are
more or less giving concept approval and that there has been no plan whatsoever
on this
COUNCILMAN ROGER PETERSON stated that you are approving the issuance of revenue
or n the location eof, you concerned. esentati -n
MR. MAGNUSON - first of all and perhaps the most important phase of this indus-
trial bond procedure is the preliminary approval - at first it doesn't seem
important - it would seem that final approval, but really this is the important
thing; secondly, in connection with this development we have to remember that
we have supported the development in annexation and now we would be issuing the
bonds and it is good to examine the real aspect of the development if you have
to say "no ".
COUNCILMAN ROGER PETERSON stated that his question was 'the request is that you
are approving the issuance of Industrial Revenue Bonds for the building of a
golf course - doesn't seem to him that they would be giving approval to the
various locations of the golf course or the streets whatever - aren't they just
approving the Industrial Revenue Bonds?
MR. MAGNUSON replied that morally, they know and they have been told, that the
developers plan is to use the golf course as an attraction to sell lots at a
profit and it seemed to him that has been revealed to the Council - it is not
that he is going to build a golf course there - it is an element of the overall
project and in order to make it pay for itself he ?s going to have to sell the
lots. Morally it is just another indication that the City favors it. It
would be hard to approve this and then next spring the City would not approve
the plan for the extension of the utilities.
COUNCILMAN HARRY PETERSON stated that this was the first that he was aware
that we were talking intially about a golf course - up to this time they have
been talking about a golf course in connection with the development of a large
number of homes and the improvemnents that go with them. We are here in the
month of October a couple of weeks away from the election and two new members
of this council will be selected, members of the Council that are going to have
to be involved in this project as it moves through its various stages over the
next several years and he felt that it would be completely wrong for the present
Council to take any action whatever and then have it overturned by the incoming
Counil. He have c taken over he suggested u that e action be postponed e and be acted upon when
Council
when
the new Council takes over.

October 8, 1980
On motion of Councilman Harry Peterson, seconded by Councilwoman
Bodlovick, that this matter be laid on the table until the new
Council has been inducted in Jaruary.
DISCUSSION:
There was discussion whether this would be private or public property and many
public golf courses are privately owned. There was discussion about getting
dedicated public land in this proposal - some of that land in that complete
proposal should be dedicated as public land to the City and the developer is
aware of that.
COUNCILMAN HARRY PETERSON stated that there is nothing to prevent him from going
to private investors without the City's issuance of Industrial Revenue Bonds -
we have some questions as to what the expectations as to the City's involvement
in streets, sewers and all of that - there are some issues to be clarified in
connection with the golf course - are we going to have to provide or should we
provide City sewer and water for the club house which, as he understood it, is
the intent is to have a curling rink in connection with it which would probably
make a year around facility and he was doubtful that this would go with on -site
sewer system - connection is going to be expected for sure.
COUNCILMAN ROGER PETERSON stated that any golf course that is being built would
not hook up to public water - they can't afford it - they are going to build
their own well - he would assume - they would almost have to.
DAVID JOHNSON stated that the concept of Industrial Revenue Bonds is not on the
books and this is part of a large "puzzle" that he has to fit the pieces altogether -
the Industrial Revenue finacing for the golf course is one part of the puzzle -
the request was only that the City Council would set a date for a public hearing
to see if they would be in favor of issuing Industrial Revenue Bonds for the
development of the golf course - this is not to say that he would use them if all
the other parts did not fit together - he is trying to start with one part of the
puzzle and this is an intregal part of the financial package - he understood that
there is no concept approval - there are a lot of other things that have to be
agreed upon and worked out - this is not to say that the funds will be used, but
they are on the books and there is some talk that the next legislature will change
the laws on Industrial Revenue Bonding and he would like to get it on the books now-
whether or not he would use them or not is something else - that would depend upon
the final approval on all of the other matters.
MR. KRIESEL asked David Johnson what would happen if the Council did not go along
with the concept, what would be done with the Industrial Revenue Bonds and DAVID
JOHNSON stated that he would turn the money back.
MR. KRIESEL stated that we would only be giving him approval for the golf course
and if the rest of the project does not go through, what would he require from the
City and he replied there would be no expectation from the City - this was only
approval of issuance of Industrial Revenue Bonds for the golf course and that is
only a small part of the whole package and he would like to get started on this and
get the rest of the proposal firmed up.
MR. KRIESEL reminded the Council he is waiting for Ron Langness of Sprintsteds to put
something together on the other aspect of the development and he would like to set
up a meeting sometime next week for this financing and asked Mr. Magnuson if we
could set up this hearing for November 5th and if this was done, if this would be
giving him preliminary approval.
MR. MAGNUSON stated that you anticipate by the first week in November you will
have the answers necessary to make an intelligent decision - if you think you
can, then you can set the hearing, but if you do not think it is possible by
that time, then you should not set the date. You may have enough information by
that time to make an intelligent decision and any information that can be gathered
within the next couple of weeks - if you don,t think in good faith that you can
learn that much in knowledge by that time, then you should not set the hearing
COUNCILMAN ROGER PETERSON stated that if they set the date for the hearing then
they would make a point to get all of the facts - if they don't set the date for
hearing, then it could be delayed for sometime - he could not frankly see the
problem in setting a public hearing for the issuance of Industrial Reve iue Bonds -
the Council had done it with a matter of fact with every request they have had and
many of which were large requests - the Greeley Street Clinic which was the first
one that they ever went through - it was new to everyone and he did not feel that
the Council was commited at that time to the building of that clinic in any shape,
manner or form other than that it complied to our building code. He felt that the
Greeley Clinic is a great addition to the Clty of Stillwater. This was for the
benefit of everyone.
COUNCILWOMAN BODLOVICK asked Mr. Johnson if he plans on coming in with a PUD for
the whole area and when does he plan on approaching the Planning Commission
with this request.

There was discussion about the damage and the installation of a new sump -pump
to take care of the drainage by her home. There was a question as to whether
or not this was the City's responsibility. There was discussion about sharing it.
The question was raised that if we pay this and the pump fails after a heavy
rain and the parking lot floods and goes into her house what happens then - by
paying it are we saying "yes it is our fault" and we sill accept any claims
in the future for damage from that.
MR. MAGNUSON stated that it could be our fault - it is basically if we knew of
the hazard and were negiligent in doing nothing about it - if we have notice of
the bad condition and don't do anything then we are not negilent - in order to
be liable we have to fail to exercise reasonable things to take care of the
hazard.
COUNCILMAN HARRY PETERSON asked if the City could get a statement from her that
payment of this will will completely absolve the City from future damages. MR.
MAGNUSON will check into this since if the City got a release from her it would
prevent her from bringing ..n action, but it might not cover future owners.
COMMITTEE REPORTS
PUBLIC SAFETY
1. MR. ABRAHAMSON brought to the Council's attention an action brought against
Valley TAxi by the St. Croix Cab Co. and there are cabs around the City with
Stillwater Taxi on them and they are licensed to a party who does not own them.
The Council did not feel that this should have any bearing on the issuance of
the additional license to Mr. Ritzer even though the license was transferred
from the Stillwater Taxi Co. to the Valley Taxi Co.
MR. MAGNUSON felt that what the order days is that all of the properties that
the Ritzers sold to Mr. Cropp has to be returned including the licenses and
process the transfers when they are received.
On motion of Councilman Roger Peterson, seconded by Councilwoman
Bodlovick, the City Attorney was directed to comply with whatever
is necessary in this court order. (all in favor)
CONSULTING ENGINEERS
1. MR. ELLIOTT reported that Orvedahl Construction will start work on the pipe work
for the pumping of Lily Lake on Monday, October 13th.
He informed the Council that he was in error in the use of the forcemain
on a temporary basis - the DNA would not permit that without the outlet to McKusick
Lake being constructed to serve the overflow and the current overflow would go into
Brown's Creek and they would not permit that. The pumping of the lake was the
most expeditious way to do this and we will be pumping for about a month.
2. MR. MAGNUSON at this time brought up the problem with the easement on the Duane
Nelson property on Lake Drive.
The City could bring action in District Court asking for a Declaratory
Judgment and have the judge tell us what our various rights are on that ease-
ment and the alternative could find that we do not have proper rights to eminent
domain and set that whole procedure in motion - that would take about six weeks
which is a long time. As far as he could see is the only alternative is to go
in there and work and if they feel they have an action against the City, they can
sue the City. The damages would be minimal even though we do not have the rights
that we claim. The fifty feet already have two big pipes in it - one is huge
and the new pipe going in will be buried and covered up and there will be exten-
sion above the ground. He did not feel that this would be damaged to any greater
extent by a new pipe and that we should proceed and start digging.
MAYOR JUNKER requested that his fence not be damaged, he doesn't want anybody
on his property.
MR. ELLIOTT asked if the property owner could get an injunction and MR. MAGNUSON
stated that he could but that it would take a long time to get it.
MR. ELLIOTT stated that he will review the contract and possibly they could finish
that work as soon as possible. The project is such a benefit to the property
around that lake and it is not going to be assessed and there ought to be some
reasonable way to discuss a matter like this. The work will start on Myrtle Street
at the outlet end.
MAYOR JUNKER will set up a meeting with Dr. Nelson, the City Attorney and himself
on this matter, and also Dr. Nelson's lawyer if he wishes that.

3. MR. ELLIOTT informed the Council that letters and maps were mailed out to
the people on the route of this construction work for the permanent pumping
of Lily Lake.
4. MR. ELLIOTT informed the Council that he went out to the Edgewood Ditch last
evening and talked to the abutting property owners and he was told that Thomp-
sons' people had been out there and they are working on it and he will take
periodic looks at it.
5. MR. ELLIOTT stated that he has been asked by properties within the Racquetball
Club area to do some site review plans - - Short - Elliott - Hendrickson is not
seeking the work, but the parties have come to them - there is a 39 unit motel
going in west of the bank and they have contacted him to set some site elevations
and dainage and the Council had no opposition to this
COUNCIL REOUEST ITEMS
1. COUNCILMAN HARRY PETERSON brought up the matter of rezoning in the Joint Powers
� area - there is now before the Joint Powers Commission, at least a proposal, to
do some rezoning to permit some additional limited retail sales operations in
the Joint Powers area for one, Del Wheeler, wants to open a shop out there and
all they are asking for at this time is the instruction of the Council that they
may bring this matter before the Joint Powers again.
He made a motion that the Council approve and by bringing this matter before
the Joint Powers Commission and saying Stillwater, the City, is asking that the
OM matter be considered - you are approving nothing other than that they can again
discuss it at Joint Powers.

COMMITTE REPORTS - continued
PUBLIC WORKS
1. MR. SHELTON reported to the Council that the condition of the roofs on the
Nelson and South Lift Stations are in need of repair and replacement since they
are leaking. He has contacted Harlan Bruette and he will remove the existing
roof and replace it with a five year guarantee and he will do both roofs for
the sum of $2,100 plus some insulation and flashing.
On motion of Councilman Roger Peterson, seconded by Councilwoman
Bodlovick, the Council authorized the installation of new roofs
on the pumping stations, Nelson and South, at a cost not to
exceed $2,100 plus the cost of insulation and fleshings. (all in favor)
2. MR. SHELTON requested that the broken blacktopping be removed from St. Croix
Avenue between North First and North Broadway and replace it with gravel. All
of the property owners are in favor of this being done.
On motion of Councilman Roger Peterson, seconded by Councilman
Harry Peterson, the Council authorized the removal of the black-
topping on St. Croix Avenue between North First Street and North
Broadway as recommended by the Superintendent of Public Works.
(all in favor)
3. MR. SHELTON stated that they started to pump Lily Lake on the 6th and they will
take care of the problem spots as fast as they can and they may have to shut it
down tomorrow to take care of the provlem in O'Brien Park and by Heimerman's
where there are leaks. He feels that all the people who were inconvenienced
should be thanks for cooperating.
1. MR. BLEKUM reported on the sodding by the new parking lot and there is a strip
that is not finished which will be done by the highway department when their
construction work is completed.
COUNCILMAN ROGER PETERSON asked Mr. Moore to check out the blacktopping on the
northeast corner of the parking lot by the Brick Alley which is breaking off.
MR. MOORE will contact the contractor to take care of this problem and have
him replace this.

QUESTIONS FROM THE PRESS

ORDINANCES
October 8, 1980
CITY ATTORNEY'S REPORT
1. MR. MAGNUSON informed the Council that the Township has appealed in District
Court the decision of the Municipal Board in the Johnson Annexation.
Today he was served with a Notice of Motion in District Court which they
enjoin us from extending utilites into that area until such a time as the
appeal is determined in the courts and the courts have set a hearing fir that
on the 22nd of October and he felt that we should resist this injunction. The
statute provides that an appeal on a Municipal order shall not stay the effective-
ness of the order which means that there is no automatic stay- that means that we
can go ahead - he is askhg with this order that we require them to put up a
substantial deposit and he was sure that Mr. Johnson and his lawyers will be
arguging this - the deposit of the bond should be enough to prevent Johnson from
sustaining a lot of financial loss. It is a part of the City and is being
patrolled.
2. MR. MAGNUSON reported to the Council that a party called him who is buying a
parcel of land in Stillwater and wants to turn it into condominiums and there
are a number of buildings around town that are being advertised for sale as
condominiums. The new condominiums provide that each unit of the condominium
be a separate parcel for purpose of ownership and the sub - division ordinance
says it is the division of one parcel of land into two or more for the purpose
of transferring ownership of the development - so the creation of a condominium
is actually is a sub - division for which we should see either plat or floor plan
of this and their covenants. We have never done this and he felt that the Council
should decide how this should be treated - just let "sleeping dogs lie" and let
the condominiums develop or should we strict about the enforcement of the
ordinance.
COUNCILMAN ROGER PETERSON asked what this would do in a single or two family area
and he said they would need a Special Use Permit as this would be considered
multi - family. This is converting existing units into condominiums.
COUNCILMAN ROGER PETERSON felt that they should be submitting plans to the City
and MR. MAGNUSON felt that it would be a good idea - we can't prevent it unless
we make finding that there is a real shortage of rental property in the City.
MR. MAGNUSON was directed to look into this and send letters to these
parties that are proposing to do this and let them know of the requirements
that they must comply with under the sub - division ordinance.
3. MAYOR JUNKER inquired about the moving in of houses into the City and MR.
MAGNUSON stated that we do not have an ordinance on this and he was directed
to draft such an ordinance for the Council to look at.
4. On motion of Councilman Harry Peterson, seconded by Councilwoman Bodlovick, the
Council authorized the tiring of an appraiser for the appeals to the various
assessments. (all in favor)
(Mr. Magnuson stated that all of the costs in connection with an
appeal is accessible back to the project)
