We have requested permission from the Parks Board to reserve the southern portion of Lowell Park for those evenings and they have given their approval to those dates. Music on the Waterfront Concert Proposal: Objective: By providing high quality entertainment for residents and visitors, the Downtown Council hopes to create a sense of an attractive and inviting downtown community. In the past two years, concerts were well received and attended with a substantial proportion of attendees being local residents. Dates: July 15, 22, 29 and August 5, 12, 19 with all music performed between 7 P.M. and 10P.M. Artists: The intent is to schedule different kinds of popular music including jazz, big band, light rock, reggae, country western, folk, and light classical depending on artist availability. Funding: We intend to fund the concerts with a mix of sponsorships, donations, and the sale of 3.2 beer, soda, ice cream, light refreshments, and T shirts. All proceeds from the sale of refreshments in the park will go for the support of the concert series. Insurance: Liability insurance will be provided through a rider on the Chamber of Commerce's policy. Dram shop insurance is not required for the sale of 3.2 beer. The Downtown Council Requests of the Stillwater City Council: 1. Their support of the concept of Music on the Waterfront 2. A license for the consumption of 3.2 beer in Lowell Park during the concerts 3. A permit for the sale of refreshments and T shirts in Lowell Park during the concerts 4. The closing of Levy Road to traffic during the concerts 5. Financial support for the concert series in the form of an in -kind donation of two police officers for security during the concerts • • • M E M O R A N D U M TO: Mayor and City Council FR: Diane Deblon, Finance Director DA: April 3, 1992 RE: CLOSING OF FUNDS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 1991 It is my recommendation that the City Council approve the following residual equity transfers as of December 31, 1991. The transfers to fund #512 will allow the City to call those bonds. The closing of the project funds to their related debt service fund is necessary now that those projects are complete. Est. Fund Balance From Fund # To Fund # on Dec. 31, 1991 Description 340 512 $26,139.55 Bonds paid off in 1991 506 512 7,306.95 Bonds paid off in 1991 421 391 (1,500.00) Purchase of land from R.R., close project to debt service. 561 502 (85,801.00) 1989 construction, close projects to debt service. • • • TO: Mayor and City Council FR: Diane Deblon, Finance Director DA: April 3, 1992 RE: CALLING TWO BOND ISSUES M E M O R A N D U M I have reviewed the debt service funds of the City and determined that there is sufficient cash to call two bond issues prior to their scheduled maturity. The first bond issue is the $400,000 G.O. Improvement Bonds of 1982. We would save $2,200 in interest by called this issue. The second bond issue is the $745,000 G.O. Improvement Bonds of 1983. We would save $24,825 in interest from calling these bonds. I have checked with Ron Langness and he has indicated there is not a problem with calling either of these bond issues. oc. • RESOLUTION 92- • • Whereas, the City Council of the City of Stillwater has "$400,000 G.O. Improvement Bonds of 1982 "; and Adopted by Council this 8th day of April 1992. Attest: city clerk previously issued previously issued Whereas, the City Council of the City of Stillwater has "$745,000 G.O.

Improvement Bonds of 1982" and the "$745,000 G.O. Improvement Bonds of 1983 ". Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved, by the City Council of the City of Stillwater that the $400,000 G.O. Improvement Bonds of 1982 and the $745,000 G.O. Improvement Bonds of 1983 shall be called at their next interest payment date which is August 1, 1992. Mayor • • • TO: Mayor and City Council FR: Diane Deblon, Finance Director DA: April 2, 1992 RE: TIF FUNDS AVAILABLE FOR UTILITY ASSISTANCE The following is a recap and analysis of TIF funds as of March 31, 1992. Balance on March 31, 1992 Less commitments and projects not completed: Lowell Park Study Maple Island Parking Lot L.I. 257 S.A. appeals and legal expense M E M O R A N D U M $307,000 (25,000) (20,000) (65,000) Balance $197,000 It is my recommendation that up to $150,000 of the above balance could be reserved and made available to properties for the TIF utility assistance program in conjunction with the Downtown Project, L.I. 257. Original estimates of the utility assistance program (based on survey responses) were between $100,000 and $200,000. In addition, it is my understanding that some properties sustained additional costs that were not reflected in the survey responses. Therefore, I would also make the following suggestions for . the utility assistance program. 1. Notice be given to all properties making them aware of the program. 2. Set a deadline for accepting application (giving ample time to respond). When the application deadline has passed, the City could review the applications to determine the actual total dollar cost of the program. (It may be necessary to revise the previously presented assistance schedule if applications exceed the funding available.) r s STAFF REQUEST ITEM • • DEPARTMENT Finance MEETING DATE 4 -8 -92 DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST (Briefly outline what the request is) Request Council approval to attend the "Advanced Governmental Accounting" seminar in Minneapolis.

BOTH PERSONNEL WOULD BE REPLACEMENT OFFICERS, NOT ADDITIONS TO THE FORCE. ONE WOULD REPLACE FORMER CHIEF MAWHORTER AND THE OTHER WOULD REPLACE FORMER PATROL OFFICER TIM PARKOS. • OFFICER PARKOS WOULD BE AT THE 2 YEAR PAY STEP WITH THE DEPARTMENT AT $2,794.50 PER MONTH.

THE _._ABOVE FIGURES .. ARE ..__A:[.._ THE 1991 RATE! THERE ARE SEVERAL REASONS FOR THE REQUEST FOR THESE OFFICERS! A) THE DOWNTOWN AREA IS BUSY ALREADY AND THE SUMMER MONTHS ARE NOT HERE. BUSINESS PEOPLE ARE ASKING FOR THE RETURN OF THE DOWNTOWN FOOT PATROL OFFICER. THE DEPARTMENT IS GETTING SOMEWHAT FLOODED WITH CALLS IN THE DT AREA AND THE LEVEL OF THEFTS AND CAR PROWLS HAS GONE UP CONSIDERABLY IN THE PAST FEW WEEKS. THE FORMER "POPEYES" OPENED FOR BUSINESS THIS PAST FRIDAY (APRIL 3rd) AND BROUGHT INCREASED TRAFFIC, FOOT AND VEHICULAR TO THE DT AREA. B) THE DEPARTMENT IS AT A MINIMUM 1 OFFICER SHORT ON THE AFTERNOON SHIFT DUE TO OFFICER ULRICH STILL OFF ON LIGHT DUTY. THIS MEANS WE HAVE TO USE 1 PART -TIME OFFICER ALMOST EVERY DAY FOR THAT SHIFT AND WHEN A FULL -TIME OFFICER IS OFF -DUTY BE IT FOR VACATION, COMP TIME OFF OR SICK LEAVE THIS SHIFT HAS TO BE FILLED WITH A FULL -TIME OFFICER WORKING AT HIS /HER OVERTIME RATE. C) IF WE HIRE 1 REPLACEMENT OFFICER, THIS WOULD BE TO REPLACE THE PART -TIME OFFICERS THAT ARE USED TO FILL IN THE VACANT AFTERNOON SHIFTS AND FREE THEM FOR THE OCCASIONAL SHIFT REPLACEMENTS AND TO BOLSTER THE FULL -TIME OFFICERS ON THE WEEK -ENDS WHERE WE NEED THEM THE MOST MAINLY IN THE DT AREA. • D) IF WE ARE ABLE TO HIRE THE 2nd FULL -TIME OFFICER REPLACEMENT, WE CAN RETURN A FULL -TIME OFFICER TO THE DT BEAT THAT IS BADLY NEEDED AND WAS HIGHLY PRAISED BY THE DT MERCHANTS LAST YEAR. • • • N"•"N N*"1 0 NR Pe C) TO: MAYOR ABRAHAMSON AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: D.L.

DISCUSSION: The request is to place a 128 square foot, internally illuminated sign, 22 feet in height, at the K.C. Hall which is in a multiple use structure behind Olson Construction Company and next to the Teen Center. The sign proposed is to be located approximately 200 feet from Greeley Street. Olson Construction has a wall sign facing Greeley Street and the K.C. Hall and John Deere Insurance share a free - standing sign at the location of the proposed sign. • The Sign Ordinance regulations for this district limits signs for multiple use structures to allow one tenant wall sign per business and one free - standing master identification sign for the whole building. The free - standing building sign maximum is 40 square feet or 100 square feet for one tenant. 128 square feet is proposed. The permitted height is 20 feet or 25 feet (one tenant), 22 feet is proposed. This sign only identifies the K.C. Hall use and not John Deere Insurance. • • PLANNING APPLICATION REVIEW CASE NO.

Hall, Inc. currantly does not have any sign identification making it difficult for people to locate the Hall. -Due to the position of parking areas and other condiderations, a sign on Greeley St. is not possible. - This sign will be located approximately 200 feet to the West of Greeley St. on a landscape Island. - Why such a large sign? a. This sign was purchased from the sign company that removed it from the Firstar - Oakridge location. It is a high quality sign werwere able to purchase for a very reasonable price. b. We believe the size is necessary because it will be located 200 feet off from Greeley St. c. The Reality World Building immediately to the South of our location has a sign just as large and has already received a variance. - Our building owner - Richard Olsen - has already approved the sije and location.

City of Stillwater, Applicant. Steve Russell presented the background of the case along with a video of the land involved. Chairman Fontaine noted that two letters have been submitted in regard to the case. A letter was received from Dean M. Schubert, a relative of one of the property owners involved, expressing opposition to the annexation. The second letter was submitted by John W. Diers, Chairman of the Minnesota Transportation Museum, in support of the annexation. Mr. Fontaine read the letter as requested by Mr. Diers. Mr. Fontaine opened the hearing for comments by audience members. Richard Schubert, 8822 Stonebridge Trail North, owner of a farm which will be affected by the annexation, presented a petition from six residents within the proposed annexation who are opposed to the annexation. He presented a second petition with over 300 signatures of area residents who are opposed to the annexation and would like the area to remain in a natural state with no more development. He stated that he is the fourth generation on the family farm. His property is zoned agricultural and his taxes are green acres. He stated that he is angry because of this disruption to his Stillwater Planning Commission March 9, 1992 9 family. He prefers the township government and believes that the township provides adequate conservation of the natural resources. Eric Rydeen, 14383, Dellwood Ave. N., stated he can see no benefit in being annexed to the City and is not in favor of the action. Robert Watson, 8710 Stonebridge, stated his opposition to the annexation. He has the type of government he prefers and wants the City to leave the township alone. Susan Sikorski, 9367 Ochipwe, read a letter from her husband, Gerry Sikorski, stating that annexation is costly and should only be undertaken for public policy reasons. Norton Cross, 14491 Dellwood Rd., stated that the annexation would result in increased taxes, is undesired, and would not be beneficial to the residents involved. Tim Sinclair, 14411 Dellwood Rd., owns 40 acres in Stillwater Township and is opposed to the annexation. He is concerned about increased costs and City restrictions. He stated that the action is intrusive. Dick Edstrom, 203 W. Hazel, on the south side of Brown's Creek, stated that the trains are leaving a residue on the tracks. Mr. Rydeen spoke again and stated that he does not want this to become an issue about the trains. He is not aggressively opposed to the trains, butlis opposed to the annexation.

Barb Menninger, Richard Schubert's wife, stated that the area is not suburban in nature and showed photos of her family farm. Ann Thompson, a resident of the Township, stated that she believes the reason the City wishes to annex the land is for the benefit of the MTM train. The Planning Commission took a five - minute recess and then began discussion of the 'ssue. • Stillwater Planning Commission March 9, 1992 Rob Hamlin stated that he sees both perspectives, but believes more time and consideration should be put into the proposal before a decision is made. Darwin Wald agreed that more time should be spent and that the City and the Township should try to come to an agreement. Chairman Fontaine stated that he would like to see the issue tabled and the two Planning Commissions talk it out. In response to a question from the Planning Commission, Township Board member Cathy Buck stated that there are a mixed number of minimum lot sizes. South of Highway 96 there is a 2 1/2 acre minimum, and one acre for on -site septic. Some areas have a 20 acre minimum because of the conservancy zone. Most existing homes pre -date the zoning laws. Brown's Creek requires a five acre minimum. Rob Hamlin made a motion to deny CPA /92 -1. Seconded by Angela Anderson. Motion to deny carried 5 -2. Gene Bealka and Gary Funke opposed. 2.

This was done in order to facilitate improvements along that section of Main Street. The City also pledged a maximum of $50 per front footage up to $10,000 to place the canopy /awning. Since October, staff has met with Mr. Lynskey to discuss the canopy /awning project. We also reviewed the existing conditions of his four building facades. They are presently in need of major repairs. Mr. Lynskey has decided that rehabilitation of the facades are the priority at this time and would like to use the funds in order to meet these objectives. The Heritage Preservation Commission will be reviewing his concept plan for all four buildings at their regular meeting of April 6, 1992. They will also be reviewing the specific plan for 112 South Main Street. At that meeting, as in all proposed facade restorations, the Commission will determine if this project meets the Secretary of Interior's Standards for rehabilitation and intent Downtown Guidelines. With comments from the Preservation Commission to be distributed at meeting time, allocate $2,500 of the awning replacement fund for restoration of the front of 108 -112 South Main Street. • • • March 23, 1992 Steve Russell Community Development Director City of Stillwater 216 North 4th Street Stillwater, MN 55082 LYNSKEY COMPANIES P.O. Box 421 118 S. Main St. Stillwater, MN 55082 (612) 439-1412 RE: City payment for awnings for 108 - 124 South Main Street Dear Mr. Russell, I am herewith requesting that the funds to be paid to me by the City for the replacement of the awnings on my buildings be used instead to upgrade the fronts of the above referenced buildings. I have retained the services of local architect Tim Stefan and have conferred with local contractors with regards to what could be done to my buildings over time. One thing that has become glaring clear is that to do things right, there should be some work done to the exterior before new awnings are installed. The work that I am proposing to do will cost me significantly more than replacing the awnings. I would prefer not to spend the additional funds but I am sure that these things should be done, thus my reason for requesting to use the "awning money" for exterior improvements. Mr. Stefan will be presenting our immediate and master plan for the buildings to the Historical Preservation Committee on April 6, 1992. We have also contacted the State Historical Society and are forwarding completed forms to them as well for their approval. It is my understanding that this request could be brought to the council on April 7, 1992 for consideration. Please contact me if you need additional information.

There are eight properties in the annexation area, five north of the railroad right -of -way of approximately 82.7 acres. The three remaining total approximately 75.3 acres. The Comprehensive Plan Amendment Staff report discusses existing conditions, the comprehensive plan consistency, urban service availability and the relationship of the annexation area with the existing City. The entire area is within the City of Stillwater Comprehensive Planning area that can be considered for annexation. At the Planning Commission meeting of March 9, 1992, a petition was submitted by six of the eight property owners indicating their opposition to the annexation. Of the two remaining affected owners, one (MTM) has indicated an interest in the annexation and the other has not taken a position. Dependent on the interest of the remaining property owner, the southern portion of the annexation area, most immediate the City, could be annexed and the northern portion dropped from annexation consideration. RECOMMENDATION: Continue decision on annexation until position of all property owners regarding the annexation is received.

This was discussed in the Staff report for consideration of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment. (Case No. CPA /92 -1) The City of Stillwater has grown faster than projected. Vacant land to provide for future development is in short supply. Before expanding to the northwest toward County Road 5, the City is infilling areas where urban services can be extended logically and economically. Other areas help define the urban City area. Parts of the area being considered for annexation is currently suburban in character, particularly the areas west of Stonebridge Trail. The golf courses are an active recreation area with manicured grass and selectively planted trees. Lands along Brown's Creek are mostly natural with some residential intrusion. RECOMMENDATION: Recommendation of annexation to the City Council as consistent with the Stillwater Comprehensive Plan and a logical extension of the City boundary.

Sinclair Deborah K. Sinclair JlekeZ 14411 Dellwood Rd. N. • • • TO: CITY COUNCIL CITY OF STILLWATER My wife and I moved last month to Maplewood, after living eleven years in the city of Stillwater and another twelve years in Grant Township. We used to enjoy living in the Stillwater area. When first arriving in early 1969, the style of life was all you could want. The city residents were able to live the way they desired and the citizens in the townships enjoyed a less crowded and a protected rural setting. This has changed under the guise of "progress: Downtown caters to the tourist business. Where there use to be bakeries and hardware stores, there are now antique shops. I don't believe you'll find many citizens of the city who really like these changes. We hear now that the City is attempting to annex 158 acres of the Browns Creek area of Stillwater. This is being done even though all the residents and the township officials have made it clear they want to retain their rural setting. It seems plain they want the city government to stay out of their affairs. It is also very, very clear to everyone that the only reason this annexation is being sought is to allow the Minnesota Transportation Museum to operate more frequently on the tracks presently located in Stillwater Township. The city government and MT14 are in collusion to circumvent Washington County regulations limiting the number of trips that can be made each week. Please listen to your neighbors in the townships and to the majority of your own citizens, Thank you /J. kinder • • 1 • • water THE BIRTHPLACE OF MINNESOTA MEMORANDUM TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: STEVE RUSSELL, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR DATE: APRIL 3, 1992 SUBJECT: COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT FOR 158 ACRES BETWEEN NORTH CITY LIMITS AND HIGHWAY 96 IN CITY BOUNDARY. The Planning Commission reviewed the Comprehensive Plan Amendment at their meeting of March 9, 1992. (Staff report and minutes of the meeting are attached.) At the meeting a petition signed by 300 people disapproving the annexation was presented. (available at meeting time). Based on the Staff report and testimony, the Planning Commission recommended against the Comprehensive Plan Amendment. CITY HALL: 216 NORTH FOURTH STILLWATER, MINNESOTA 55082 PHONE: 612 - 439 -6121 • TO: PLANNING COMMISSION FROM: PLANNING DEPARTMENT DATE: MARCH 5, 1992 SUBJECT: INCLUSION OF 158 ACRES OF LAND BETWEEN City BOUNDARY AND HIGHWAY 96 IN THE CITY BOUNDARY (CASE NO. CPA /92 -1). Background: At the February 4th City Council meeting, the Planning Commission was directed to consider the possible Annexation and necessary Comprehensive Plan Amendment for the inclusion of 158 acres, shown on Map I, in the City boundary. The area is within the City planning area as described in the Stillwater Comprehensive Plan. The overall Stillwater planning area is bounded by Highway 96 on the north, County Road 15 on the west, Highway 36 on the south and the St. Croix River on the east. Other inholdings surrounded by more than 60% City land have previously been annexed by the City of Stillwater for planning purposes. Comprehensive Plan Amendment The Comprehensive Plan Amendment area is bounded on the west by Oak Glen Residential Development and Golf Course, on the east by the old Burlington Northern right -of -way to Stonebridge Trail,including one lot west of old Stonebridge Trail, then following Stonebridge Trail and west boundary of the Stillwater Country Club to approximately Owens Street. The study area line then proceeds north bisecting the Golf Course to the railroad right -of -way. Along the right -of -way boundary proceeds east to the City limits, then north to Highway 96. From that point the line follows Highway 96 to the west to Oak Glen. (See attached Map I). The City of Stillwater Comprehensive Plan described Highway 96 as the north boundary to the City planning area. All of the area under consideration is within that Comprehensive Plan designated planning area. Existing land use within and adjacent to the Amendment Area includes single family residential, a farm, two golf courses, a historic site, and vacant parcels. A township park lies just north at Stonebridge and Norell of the area. (See attached Map 2.) Access to the site is provided by State Highway 96 from the east or west and Stonebridge Trail, a county road from the north or south. The old Burlington Northern Railway right -of -way cuts the area just north of the golf course. The railroad tracks run from the Downtown out along Highway 95 before turning west and traveling west paralleling Highway 96 and Brown's Creek. A short stretch of tracks is in the Township with tracks to the east and west in the City of Stillwater. Brown's Creek, a protected wetland and trout habitat is located to the north of the railroad right -of -way. The land slopes steeply from Highway 96 and the railroad right -of -way down to Brown's Creek, east of Stonebridge Trail. Three residential structures are located on the north side of Brown's Creek and east of Stonebridge Trail in the plan amended area. Brown's Creek, • west of Stonebridge Trail, flattens out and has a wider flood plain and rolling terrain similar to Oak Glen. 1 Proposed Amendment The proposed amendment would bring a portion of the ultimate Stillwater Comprehensive Planning area into the City of Stillwater. The area is mostly surrounded by the City with over 60% of its boundary adjacent to City lands. The area is closely related to City physical conditions and City activities. Brown's Creek, a natural system, runs from the City of Stillwater to the west through the amendment area back into City land, then opens to to the St. Croix River. Urban service to the land west of Stonebridge Trail can logically be extended from the existing service lines. Currently one half of the Stillwater Country Club Gglf Course is located in Stillwater. As a result of the amendment, all lands would be under one planning and service authority. Highway 96 is the City boundary to the east and west of the amendment site. The annexation would continue 96 as the City boundary clearly delineating the service area and area of local government authority. The proposed land use for the area is shown on Map 4. The area east of Stonebridge Trail and north of the railroad right -of -way is designated parks, recreation and open space, PROS. This use would allow open space uses, conservation, parks and natural areas, and very low residential density to preserve the natural character and natural resources of the Brown's Creek corridor. Building setbaclis and vegetative removal or clearing would be strictly regulated to preserve and protect natural resources. This designation would provide protection to Brown's Creek, a DNR protected water, and significant natural resource. The remainder of the area is designated single family residential. This designation is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and adjacent lands (Oak Glen and Stillwater Country Club). These areas can be serviced by existing utility systems. Sanitary and water servic could be provided to portions of the Amendment Area by extending water and sewer service from Oak Glen Development. There is adequate service capacity to accommodate development at the proposed land use intensity. Based on sewer locations, land west of Stonebridge Trail could be serviced. The golf course could be serviced from Oak Glen or Sycamore Street but it would be difficult and costly to provide services to the lands along Brown's Creek north of th railroad right -of -way. This area is proposed for a green belt open space buffer as the north boundary of the planning area and services would not be necessary. Comprehensive Plan Policy The Stillwater Comprehensive Plan includes the Amendment area in the City plan area for future annexation. The plan designates the area golf course /housing development for the lands west of Stonebridge Trail and the Country Club for the existing golf course and Brown's Creek protection /open space. (See Map 3.) Other policy in the Comprehensive Plan calls for the gradual annexation, as needed, of areas outside the City in the planning area, the prevention of urban sprawl, the preservation of wetlands, scenic views, wooded areas, drainage ways, Brown's Creek and other natural features. Retention of Highway 96 as a scenic route, protection of open spaces natural resources, i.e. wetlands, woodlands and forests and preservation of historic and cultural resources. 2 • The old Stonebridge, a historic site, is on the National Register of Historic • Places. If the site was annexed and designated a locally significant historic place, further protection could be provided to the site. • • Amendment Finding The Amendment is consistent with the Stillwater Comprehensive Municipal Plan for the following reasons: The area is within the planning area as designated for annexation in the Comprehensive Plan. Urban services can be logically extended to the single family residential areas suitable for development. - The land use designation and City land use controls can protect scenic views, wetlands, wooded areas, drainage ways, Brown's Creek and other natural features. - The historic and cultural resources of the site can be protected through Stillwater Historic Preservation Policy and Regulations.

DIERS, Chairman • 2500 W. 54th Street • Minneapolis, MN 55410 • March 3, 1992 Mayor Wally Abrahamson, City of Stillwater, 216 North 4th St. Stillwater, Minnesota, 55082 Dear Mayor Abrahamson: 1 3 ,1 - 6 1 - L The Minnesota Transportation Museum was recently notified of the City of Stillwater's intention to annex a portion of its railroad right of way within Stillwater Township. It is our understanding that this . annexation fulfills a long term plan which was approved by the • Metropolitan Council in 1981. The Museum supports the proposed annexation, and agrees that the proposed action is in the long term interest of the property owners, including the Museum. It, also, recognizes that the annexation may be controversial and that part of the controversy is suggested by the position the Museum has taken with respect to a Washington County Ordinance regulating its railroad operations. That is unfortunate. Annexation should be seen as a question of overall benfit to the community. It should not be viewed as a special interest of those who either support or oppose the operation of the trains. For that reason, the Museum will not have an official representative at the public hearing on Monday The issue is annexation, not the Minnesota Transportation Museum. The Washington County Ordinance is a separate issue. It is an issue because it deprives the community of an important part of its history and heritage, but it is also the law, and the Minnesota Transportation Museum respects the law. For that reason, our Board determined that it will not operate a regular schedule of trains during the summer of 1992, and that any special operation for Stillwater's Lumberjack Days will be confined to the city limits of • Stillwater. • • I have asked that this letter be read at the public hearing and be made a part of the record Sincerely, • Wally Abrahamson, Mayor Stillwater City Council 1301 Cottage Drive Stillwater, MN 55082 March 25, 1992 Dear Wally Abrahamson, Mayor: I am writing to request that you discontinue action toward the annexation of Stillwater township as described in the City of Stillwater proposals Case No. Ann /92 -1 and Case No. CPA /92 -1. As was recently determined by your planning committee, there is no merit in the annexation of that part of Stillwater Township. There are many other areas near Stillwater which are much more appropriate candidates for annexation than this one. The studies done by your engineering consultants conclude that it is not reasonable to provide city services to the area under consideration. It would be nearly impossible to provide services to most of the residents, and difficult and expensive to provide them for two residents, neither of which need nor want them. There is no open space about to develop, nor is there any space in the area under consideration ever likely to develop. Most of the space is undevelopable due to terrain and other factors. The natural conditions of the Browns creek valley have been protected by the residents, the Township, and the County for many years. Annexation would lead to deterioration of the area. All of the residents contained in the area you are considering to annex are united in opposition of any plan to annex them into the city of Stillwater. It is inappropriate for a government to force its neighbors to come under its rule. Tactics such as this have been correctly defined as aggressive invasions, and have rightfully led to wars. Please reconsider your attempts to take away our choice of govern t from us. ert D.

Subject: Annexation of Browns Creek Valley Our organization strongly supports the residents of Stillwater Township who are unanimously opposed to annexation of their property by the City of Stillwater. Your proposed annexation is a blatant attempt to circumvent the new railroad ordinance that was deemed necessary by Washington County to protect the township residents. At the March 9 Stillwater City Planning Commission meeting, many people voiced their opposition to the proposed annexation. The Commission listened, They recommended not to annex the Browns Creek Valley because of a lack of planning and the negative impact development might have on this environmentally sensitive area. We urge you to listen to the Planning Commission's recommendation and not annex the Browns Creek Valley. These families do not want to be a part of the City - they want to stay in a rural community! And they do not want to be abused, as they have been in the past, by unregulated excursion train activity. Our organization has worked diligently through the democratic process to try and regain some of the peace and privacy that we had before the excursion trains got out of hand. We will not let the families who live along the MTM tracks be subjected to unregulated train activities. Please be good neighbors and leave these people alone. cc: Pat Bantli Stillwater Township Sheila Davis Town of Grant • I Try .o w. ∎Itj't 1 tic , . Nic ^J Q `ry i'O us E r L ' b:Q9� .

I'm strongly opposed to this proposal. My relatives have been a part of this county for over 150 years. Their lifestyle has always been rural, most making a living in farming. It's distressing to see this changing. It's hard to watch Stillwater and the farmlands around it being chopped into 1 and 2 acre plots. It's fast losing the character we love and that small town, rural character that draws people here, if only for a weekend. The area along Brown's Creek needs to remain as it is, rural classification, in the township. The people living along this creek respect it's natural state and protect that. I don't believe the City has that intention. This is obvious from it's usage with the trains, it's proposed usage, and observing the area along Brown's Creek adjacent to the Oak Glen Development. The natural habitat there has been destroyed, debris dumped in the creekbed, and attempts made to trap the local critters considered to be nuisances to Oak Glen. I find it necessary that we maintain open space in and around the City of Stillwater. With open space being encroached upon, woodlands being cut, and wetlands being drained, we must put some limitations on expansion. We have to stop thinking only of economic expansions and look at maintaining natural resources. Open space, in my view, is a natural resource. Brown's Creek is a natural resource. You must pay heed to the wishes of the residents of Stillwater Township, we want our farms and farmland, our rural character. Please do not take this away from us, once it's gone it will not return! Si cerely, • - 6 Denise G. Remick • • • To: Stillwater City Council Members April 8, 1992 Regarding: Proposed annexation to Stillwater I want to go on record as opposing the annexation being considered tonight. The politics and the power plays surrounding this whole issue is beginning to just plain smell: The maneuverings and shenanigans to accomodate "THE TRAIN" are so blatantly obvious that it's beginning to reflect on the ethics and better judgemnt of the Council. How could you put yourselves in such a questionable position? We need to "square off the boundaries " ? ? ?? NOW ? ? ?? We need to force this annexation NOW because we need this land with a DNR protected creek running through for future development in the city ? ? ?. Come on, guys Is this logical? It seems to me like little kids and a game - -if you don't like the rule, just break it. If that doesn't work, try to get the rule changed. If even that doesn't work, try to find somebody else who will play a different game and make up rules you like - -and that somebody elso is you, council... There are a lot of people who are opposed to this on principle. It's a question of morality and fairness. I am one of them. Thank you, 6 Zy/-z Mickey Thurmes April 8, 1992 The Honorable Wally Abrahamson 216 North 4th Street Stillwater City Hall Stillwater, MN 55082 Mayor Abrahamson and City Council Members: I would like to take this opportunity to reiterate the importance of annexing the property proposed for incorporation into the City of Stillwater. The Minnesota Zephyr has a substantial vested interest over the past five (5) years and at the current time planning a $1.1 million investment in a depot museum and 58,000 square feet of property. With the current Washington County restrictions on the Minnesota Zephyr operations we cannot generate enough trips to operate profitably. Consider the Minnesota Zephyr's economic impact to not only the city, but to the entire area including the county. Please vote to annex this property in order to exempt us from these county ordinances and to secure continuing progress in development and economic growth. Since avid L.

Main St. Stillwater, MN. 55082 I had previously filled out a form last fall regarding an estimate of work for sewer and electrical hookup connections and returned it to the City of Stillwater. To the best I can remember, it represent approximate estimates that were relayed to us in the realm of $8,000. We indicated that we would definitely need assistance for the work. Our contractors, Simonet Plumbing and Sipma Electric both indicated that costs could go extremely higher due to the complexity of the job and unknowns which they could encounter, and it was nearly impossibly to do an accurate estimate and to even trace the plumbing and electrical routes without a great time evolvement initially. The loss of revenue and tenants for the past 6 -8 months due to the street construction makes it very important for the need for financial assistance at this time for the operation of the property, and has placed us in a situation of financial duress for payments and upkeep of the property at this time. We have applied at local banks for loans without a positive response. We must at this time rely on City aid to continue our operations of the property.

Due to the circumstances involving street work in the City of Stillwater, we believe that the 1991/1992 market values you have placed on the property are greatly overstated at this time. We were unaware of the results and devaluation to the property, do to greatly decreased retail incomes, that the untimely and disorganized street construction would create, until late i August, 1991. We then started to see the results and immediatel notified the City of Stillwater. Within the last half of 1991, we experienced no streets, sidewalks, mud, and a greatly reduced traffic count throughout the City. Being that Downtown Stillwater is greatly reliant on the Summer tourist traffic, which became non - existent, we experienced 2 Bankruptcies of major tenants and moveouts of 4 other businesses along with much added costs and damages to the property. With all this occurring, rumors of course spread that the property was folding or closing itself. Our efforts to release space have been feudal until some recent interest, although all proposals we are receiving are at far below market rents. All prospective tenants use the condition of Stillwater Streets and economics of the City as their basis. I am sending copies of some of the correspondences and damages occurred through the end of 1991, and an estimate of losses for the 1st quarter of 1992. With the considerations, I have outlined above, I will at this ask for a reduction in market values for the years of 1991, 1992, and a resulting property tax reduction for these years due to the above ementioned problems which now causing the Grand Garage financial duress. cc: Buegen & Iverson, Ltd.

ASK YOUR SENATOR TO OPPOSE THE SENATE TAX BILL UNLESS AN • AMENDMENT IS ADDED TO PROVIDE LGA INCREASES OF 4% IN 1993 AND 4% IN 1994. Please call your Senator the same day you get this letter, since the bill is expected to be considered on the Senate floor later this week. The current Senate bill hits local governments with the sales tax on local government purchases, about $72 million per year. Yet it provides only a 2% LGA increase in 1993 and 3% in 1994. This does not meet the minimum criteria established by the League. The amendment for 4% annual increases includes one -year delays in the commercial- industrial class rate reductions scheduled for 1993 and 1994, in order to provide the money for the 4% LGA increases. The House tax bill already includes the 4% annual LGA increases, so it is not necessary to call your State Representative at this time. • • • Aje, Y,// Mr. David Junker Public Works Dept.

Street Stillwater, Mn. 55082 March 30, 1992 On the corner of Myrtle & Third Streets, there is a potentially dangerous traffic situation. There used to be a. NO PARKING TO CORNER ANYTIME sign Myrtle, on the north side of the American Legion building. With the street improvements, this sign has been removed. Now the only one is a 2 Hr. 8 A.M. -6 P.M. M -S. It is impossible to see traffic coming up Myrtle Street, which has the right of way, when a vehicle is parked on that corner. I have seen several near accidents because of this situation. I think a NO PARKING ANYTIME sign needs to be installed again, & that space checked frequently, because even when that sign was up, there were many violations. cc: Wally Abrahamson, Mayor, Stillwater Sincerely, Judith A.

In April 1993, the Museum will open to the public and take its place, alongside other monuments, memorials and museums on the Mall, as a major national institution and educational facility. Designed specifically for a diverse general public, the Museum will educate Americans about this watershed event in human history as well as its implications for our lives in a pluralistic democracy. _ The Council was also mandated to lead the Nation in annual commemorations of the victims of the Holocaust, known as Days of Remembrance. Millions of American citizens, both at home and abroad (U.S. diplomatic and military installations), will observe the Days of Remembrance in 1992 from Sunday, April 26 through • Sunday, May 3. The suggested theme is "Fifty Years Ago: In the Depths of Darkness." Your personal leadership in this national commitment to Remembrance is essential. Your words and deeds set an example for the people of your community. Thus, we respectfully request that you issue a Days of Remembrance Proclamation (sample enclosed) and forward it or a copy to the United States Holocaust Memorial Council for your permanent Days of Remembrance archives and plan and /or participate in an observance. To facilitate your planning, we encourage you to appoint a member of your staff to serve as your liaison with the United States Holocaust Memorial Council's Days of Remembrance program (form enclosed). The 1992 Program Planning Guide and poster will be available in mid - February. The Days of Remembrance provide Americans each year with an opportunity to reflect upon the events of 1933 -1945 and to rededicate themselves to the basic principles upon which this great nation was established: individual freedom conjoined with social responsibility. We are deeply grateful for your strong support of this historic mission to honor and protect future generations through Remembrance of the Holocaust.

The company has determined that existing equipment is obsolete and they are in the process of researching bids for new equipment. The company has temporarily provided the Commission Office with the only working keyboard. Please feel free to send any messages you may wish installed on the channel 12 government access calendar to the Commission Office until such time that we are provided with new units. According to Commission records 50 pages were previously allocated for each city. The company has posed the question to the Commission if it is necessary to provide a system with as many pages as the existing one, which has a total of 500 pages. Before we agree to a system with lesser capacity, we would like your input as to how many pages you feel would adequately serve your needs now and in the future.

BOX 439 STILLWATER, MN. 55082 March 16, 1992 Mr. Steve Russell City of Stillwater 216 North Main Street Stillwater, MN 55082 Dear Steve: Attached is the total bill for Maple Island to hook up the underground electrical service. In addition to the charges of $43,416, it was necessary to close the production area down for almost five days. We were able to schedule around this due to a slow down in our business otherwise we would have had more costs to contend with. As I understand it there are no funds to help businesses with this so it is just another expense for Maple Island without a benefit. We do have a proposal for the city to consider. At the North end of our building is our employees parking lot. During construction this lot was used by the city construction crews and was left in generally poor shape. We have always allowed people to park in this lot', after working hours and on week ends. There also is one row of about ten cars that is open to parking at all times. Our proposal would be for the city to pay for the black topping of this lot, when the crews are in town to finish the streets. The city then could publish that this is an open parking lot after 5 p.m. and on weekends and holidays. As more commercial /retail businesses develop on the north end this parking lot should be an asset to the city if it has black top and looked better. Let me hear from you and we can discuss this further.

Box 438 Mayor and City Council Nile Kriesel, Coordinator Steve Russell, Community Development Director City of Stillwater 216 N. 4th Street Stillwater, MN 55082 RE: Mulberry Point Access Issues ROAD BY USER April 8, 1992 ATTORNEY WORK- PRODUCT /ATTORNEY /CLIENT PRIVILEGE Just a brief note to brief all of you on the legal issues that the City will face if road access to the marina is changed when the Lowell Park plans are implemented. These issues are separate and in addition to any promises that the City might be obligated to fulfil under the 1985 resolution. I've already done a brief to you on that and have nothing further on that at this time. Minnesota Statutes §160.05 provides that when a road or portion of road has been used and kept in repair and worked for at least six years continuously as a public highway, it shall be deemed dedicated to the public until lawfully vacated. The dedication has two elements. First, the road must have been used by the public. The recent cased entitled Town of Belle Prairie vs. Kliber, App.1989, 448 N.W.2d 375 established that public use could be shown when "a comparatively small number of persons use the road for six years continuously." Second, the road must have been worked by the public. It is not necessary to show that every part of the road was worked at government expense or that any particular part received attention every year of the six -year period. In one case, road by user was established by testimony that one or two times a year a township dragged a the road and leveled it off. • • • Also, roads dedicated by use are not limited to the portion of the road actually traveled and includes shoulders and ditches that are needed and have been used to support and maintain the traveled portion, Barfnecht vs. Town Bd. of Hollywood Tp., Carver County, 1975, 304 Minn. 505, 232 N.W.2d 420. DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF ACCESS If Road by User is established, then it remains public until vacated. Is the City liable for damages for the vacating of a street? The issue was decided in Minnesota in the landmark case of In Re Hull, 204 N.W.2d 534 (1925). The Court held that to recover damages for the vacation of the highway, it was not essential that access to the property be entirely cut off. The most important factor is that the owner suffer an injury not common to the public. I enclose a map of a leading Minnesota case in which an owner was entitled to damages, Exhibit "A ". LOSS OF PARKING Minnesota Courts have routinely held that if a regulation or restriction falls within the State's "police power" no compensable loss has occurred. Included in this category of regulations are the establishment of one -way streets and lanes of traffic; median strips prohibiting or limiting crossovers from one lane of traffic to another; restrictions on U- turns, left and right hand turns, and the loss of parking spots along a street. At least up to this point, parking along a street is not a loss that is compensable. Hopefully our unique circumstances would not provide grounds to change the law. I am writing this memo so that all of you will be mindful of the significant legal rights of people to have reasonable, suitable and convenient access to their property including the right to have the premises accessible to patrons, clients and customers. It is not my intention to pre -empt the planning and design process, only to warn everyone that a significant number of people must be accommodated. Large sums of money are involved if they are not.

To honor Minnesota's estimated two million volunteers, April 26 - May 2, 1992 has oeen proclaimed by Governor Arne Carlson as Minnesota Volunteer Recognition Week. This week, which will coincide with National Volunteer Week, has been set aside to acknowledge and thank volunteers nationwide. The theme, Standing Ovation! For Minnesota Volunteers, will salute volunteers throughout the state. According to Kathy Miron, Executive Director of Community Voiunteer Service, over 78,000 people volunteer their time to nonprofit agencies of their choice every year in Washington County. They address issues like family violence, illiteracy, hunger, loneliness, including people with disabilities into our communities and working with the elderly. The message that is important to get out into our communities is that we applaud and value grassroots volunteerism which helps make positive changes in people lives and our communities. To mark National Volunteer Week in Washington County, DOVlA (Directors of Volunteers in Agencies) and Community Volunteer Service will sponsor the Annual Volunteer Recognition Brunch Sunday, May 3, 11:30-1:00 p.m. at the Washington County Historic Courthouse, 101 W Pine St., Stillwater MN.

Provisions in the Omnibus Tax Bill (HF 2940 and SF 2755) would eliminate the sales tax - exempt status for political subdivisions, including the MWCC. If the bill becomes law, the Commission's annual operating budget will increase by about $2.3 million, and the Commission's annual capital development budget will increase by about $1.2 million -- a total of about $3.5 million per year. • The Commission is a fee- for - service agency; therefore, any increase in our expenses would necessarily be assessed to our ratepayers. Both HF 2940 and SF 2755 were considered and passed out of committees last week and will now be debated by the House and Senate within the next few days.

They have a walk -out with the backyard abutting a drainage pond and the southerly side abutting a wooded area. A second pond exists just to the north of the pond that the Baileys abut. They have indicated that when they first moved into the house, the sump pump never•came on. In recent years; the pond elevation has apparently risen and water gets trapped in the wooded area. With the high pond and trapped water, the•groundwater elevation rises to the point that the sump pump runs•almost continually. The pump runs until the groundwater goes down which can take days. The city crews have been called on various occasions and have pumped the pond down. I had a survey crew take a few shots in the yard and the pond elevations. I also looked at the storm sewer base maps to see where the nearest storm sewer system was located and talked with city crews. The pond elevation of the southerly of the two ponds (the pond which abuts their property) is approximately the same elevation as Eagle Ridge Trail. The northerly of the ponds is 2 feet lower. The wooded area to the south of the house is slightly higher then the pond, but the elevation of the back yard restricts drainage. The yard rises as you head toward Eagle Ridge Trail and the area outside of the city limits to the southwest also continues to rise. Old contour maps of the area show the natural outlet to the southeast to an existing pond east of Wildwood Lane. The construction of Oak Glen and Wildwood Ponds Additions appears to have cut off this natural outlet. The sizing of the ponds was accomplished by others during the development of these two plats. Storm sewers exist on Eagle Ridge Trail approximately 620 feet to the north and 680 feet to the southeast.

To provide a more detailed cost estimate, the pond would need to be analyzed to determine the elevation required for the outlet and more detailed surveys of the pond, Eagle Ridge Trail and the storm sewer systems would be required. There is a ground water problem and the city crews such continue to :.work with the Bailey's by pumping as required. This is only a temporary solution. If the Council so directs, we can investigate the problem in greater detail and recommend a permanent solution. Attached is a copy of the storm sewer base map in the area showing the problem area. • To provide an overflow outlet for this isolated drainage district, one of the two storm sewer systems would need to be extended. Both of the systems appear to have the depth required to serve the area. The storm sewer could be installed behind the curb to save street repair costs. A rough estimate of construction costs would be: 12" RCP Storm Sewer 800 LF 19.00 /LF $15,200 Manhole Structures 7 EA 800.00 /EA 5,600 Connect to Ex.CB 1 EA 300.00 /EA 300 Restoration (sod) 650 SY 2.00 /SY 1,300 Attachments BCP /bcp Sincerely: 21% Barry C.

PAUL, MINNESOTA 55110 612 490 -2000 ST PAUL, MINNESOTA RE: Stillwater, Minnesota City Engineer SEH File No: 92280 Dear Mayor and Council: This letter is a review of the T.H. 96 Mn /DOT plans as requested by Mn /DOT. ID This project consists of milling and overlaying T.H. 96 with minor drainage improve- ments. The portion of the project which affects the City of Stillwater lies between County Road 5 and County Road 15. T.H. 96 will be detoured on County Road 12 and Myrtle Street. T.H. 96 will be closed in segments and detours changed from time to time as each segment is completed. The detour will be similar to the detour affected by Mn /DOT for the T.H. 95 reconstruction in 1991. The two segments affecting Stillwater are between County Road 15 and 5 and between County Road 5 and T.H. 95. The total project from T.H. 61 in White Bear lake to T.H. 95 in Stillwater is scheduled to be completed in 30 working days. A culvert replacement in the segments between County Road 15 and 5 will take seven days. The letting date is May 22 with a tentative beginning of construction on July 13. We recommend approval of this project and also that staff be instructed to work with Mn/ DOT for the proposed detours such that it will have minimal affect on the City of Stillwa- ter.

We suggest that Tim Thomsen and Bob Bielenberg work together on the mechanics of the new policy, requiring three equal payments: one -third at the beginning of the season, one -third at the half -way point, and one -third at the end. We appreciate being informed of this situation.

It was noted that at last year's Fourth of July event in Lowell Park, several peddlers were selling glow necklaces; only one of the peddlers had the proper permit. We would therefore like to emphasize that no commercial activity is to take place in the parks unless proper steps have been taken, including the appropriate permits. We also request that the Police Department be directed to strictly enforce this policy.
