call to order
Aimee called the meeting to order at 8:38 a.m. The Commission was waiting for
more members to arrive to have a quorum so the meeting started with informational
items.
loading zone behind 201 S
Main
Bill gave background information on the request to eliminate the loading dock space
reserved for the Water Street side of the building located at 201 S. Main St. The
space is located near the rear of the building and is reserved during weekday business
hours for loading and unloading. When City staff contacted the owner of that
business and surrounding businesses they found the space is regularly used buy
businesses in the general area. The Commission after hearing this information
decided to leave the loading space as is.
No action taken.
approval of agenda
At this time in the meeting the commission had a quorum. A motion was made and
seconded to approve the agenda as presented. The motion passed in a unanimous
voice vote.
approval of February 17,
2011 minutes
A motion was made and seconded to approve the February 17, 2011 meeting minutes.
The motion passed in a unanimous voice vote.
Aimee will forward approved minutes to
the Stillwater City Clerk.
handicapped parking request
at 208 S 3rd St
Bill presented a request from Jim Buege Alcoholics Anonymous (A.A.) for the City to
reserve two on -street handicapped parking spaces in front of their building. Jim in his
request said since five on -street spaces across the street had been designated a no
parking zone, it's been more difficult for handicapped A.A. clients to find accessible
parking. The Commission after reviewing the parking in the area along with other
business and residential use questioned why the building ownership doesn't add more
handicap spaces to their parking on the west side of the building. This agenda item
was tabled for now until Bill can speak to Jim Buege about adding spaces to the West
side of the building.
Bill will forward the Commission's
question to Jim Buege at A.A. and will
bring the information back to the
Commission.
lot 8 (railroad lot)
improvement plans
Bill presented the preliminary design for Lot 8 improvements from the City's Public
Works Department. If the Commission found the concept design satisfactory, staff
would bring cost, funding and schedule details to a future Commission meeting for
consideration. Commission members were in favor of the proposed lot improvement
and found the basic design satisfactory. However the Commission asked about the
possibility of moving the private business's trash receptacle from the parking lot to
the business's property. They were not in agreement that the park trail running
Bill will forward the Commission's
approval of the concept plan to the
City's Public Works Department. Bill
will bring pertinent information on the
Parking Enterprise Fund as to whether or
not there is enough money in this budget

through the parking lot would be funded through the parking enterprise fund as part of
this project. Commission asked Bill to have city staff precede with planning for lot 8
and then have Bill bring the plans back to the Commission at a future date. Updated
plans would include: cost, funding, and schedule details. The Commission also asked
for information on whether or not there is enough money in the Parking Enterprise
Fund to pay for the cost of the Lot 8 improvements.
24 hour parking at 4t' and
Churchill
Bill presented Lee Stylos' parking variance request for a new cafe and bike shop in an
existing commercial building at 826 4th St S. The applicant also spoke to his request.
The Planning Commission granted a variance contingent on approval of 2-hour
parking along the businesses at the intersection of Churchill and 4th Street. After
discussion a motion was made and seconded to approve the 2-hour parking variance
as proposed by the Planning Commission. The motion passed in a unanimous voice
vote.
Bill will forward the recommendation.
spring art fair
Bill informed the Commission this request is tabled until the Commissions next
meeting as a result of uncertainty from the events organizers as to where to locate the
event due to possible flooding of downtown.
Tabled till next meeting.
Crusin' on the Croix
Bill presented the request from the event organizer to reserve 142 parking lot spaces
for each of the 13 Wednesdays between June 1 and August 31 (not Lumberjack Days)
in lots 4, 5 and 7. The commission had a concern over the difficulty of securing the
small part of Lot 7 as requested by the event organizer. The Commission then
reviewed the reasonable application of the rate fee to the applicant's request as
suggested by city staff. After discussion a motion was made and seconded to approve
the request at a cost of $4,914, with the condition the event organizer use all of Lot 7
or move from Lot 7 to Lot 8. The motion passed in a unanimous voice vote.
Bill will forward the recommendation.
Farmer's Market
Bill presented a request from the Farmer's Market organizers requesting 45 spaces in
Lot 14 for each Saturday, 7:30 AM until noon, from June 11 to October 29th. The
Commission reviewed the reasonable application of the rate fee to the applicant's
request as suggested by city staff. After discussion a motion was made and seconded
to approve the request at a cost of $2,835. The motion passed in a unanimous voice
vote.
Bill will forward the recommendation.
update
John updated the Commission on flood preparation; the police department suspended
hourly parking in some of the parking lots as they were being used for sand bagging,
staging of material for flood protection, etc.
John also asked the Commission to consider hiring a manager for the parking ramp as
it continues to take a lot of city staff time to run and manage.
Discuss possible need for a parking ramp
manager at a future Commission
meeting.

THE BIRTHPLACE OF MINNESOTA
TO: Downtown Parking Commission
FROM: Bill Turnblad, Community Development Director
DATE: April 13, 2011
RE: Request by Rivertown Commons Resident for 24/7 pass in Ramp
BACKGROUND
Mr. Allen Okerman was granted an off-season residential parking permit for the municipal
ramp this past winter. The off-season pass expires on April 30, 2011. Since Rivertown
Commons is short three parking spaces in their lot, he will have to park on the street after
April 30`h and move his vehicle every 3 hours. Therefore, Mr. Okerman has requested a
residential pass for the ramp during the peak season.
COMMENTS
Attached is the memo from January 12, 2011 detailing the policy and justification for not
permitting residential passes in the municipal parking ramp.
Staff understands the plight of Mr. Okerman, but believes that the ownership of Rivertown
Commons should rearrange its parking lot to provide the three needed spaces, rather than rely
upon the City to resolve its deficit parking situation.
REQUEST
Consider Mr. Okerman's request and make a recommendation to the City Council on whether to
approve the request or not.
bt
attachments: Okerman letter
Okerman memo of Jan 12, 2011
April 14, 2011
To Bill Turnblad and Stillwater Parking Commission,
Last fall I was granted permission to park in the ramp next to Rivertown
Commons Apartments and am very appreciative of that privilege. As of May 1,
2011 this will expire and since Rivertown Commons is still three parking spaces
short for the number of residents I will be needing to park out on the street and
move my vehicle every three hours again. The ramp continues to have a high
volume of empty parking spaces on a daily basis and as long as that continues I
would appreciate being able to continue leasing one of these spaces. I
understand that in the summer especially parking in downtown Stillwater can be
busy, and I am willing to be flexible as to help accommodate our towns' visitors.
As a 91 year old Stillwater resident who still feels competent driving, I have been
greatly appreciative of the Commission's willingness to help solve the parking
problem at Rivertown Commons for me, and hope this arrangement can continue
as successfully.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
4:14//91P144/4

THE BIRTHPLACE OF M I N N E S O T A
TO: Downtown Parking Commission
FROM: Bill Turnblad, Community Development Director
DATE: January 12, 2011
RE: Request by Rivertown Commons Resident for 24/7 pass in Ramp
BACKGROUND
Mr. Allen Okerman requested a residential parking permit for the municipal ramp this
winter. Though the Council agrees with the Parking Commission's recommendation not to
allow residential permits in the ramp, they found that during the winter it made sense to
allow handicapped residents to buy parking ramp permits this year on a trial basis.
The Parking Commission's policy, agreed to by the Council, is that the City will not sell
residential permits for the ramp. There are four reasons for this policy:
1 Economic Development Project - The parking ramp was constructed with
Tax Increment Financing (TIF) funds to encourage economic development and to
support downtown businesses. It is not a residential parking facility and the more
residential parking that is permitted in the ramp, the less it can fulfill its primary
purpose as an economic development tool.
2. TIF Funding - Since TIF funds were used for this public project, only 10% of
the facility can be used for private purposes such as residential parking.
3. Development Agreement - As assembly of the land for the parking ramp
was negotiated, Trinity Lutheran Church agreed to give land to the City in return for
free parking on Sunday mornings. The intent of this was to create more parking
spaces for the churches in the area. Each space that is permanently occupied by a
residential vehicle reduces the number of spaces available on Sunday mornings.
4. Event Parking Revenue - Each space that is permanently occupied by a
residential vehicle eliminates event parking revenue for that space. Event parking
revenue is critical to generating operational and maintenance funds for the facility.
Given the concerns of the Parking Commission, the City Council has adopted a policy that
the process for receiving such a residential permit should be demanding. Therefore,
neither City Staff nor the Parking Commission issues these permits. It is something that
only the City Council can do.

COUNCIL ACTION
The Council approved the sale of seasonal residential passes in the ramp on a trial basis with the
following conditions:
1. A total of 17 seasonal residential passes may be sold by the City this winter season. Sale of
the 17 seasonal passes will be on a first come, first served basis. Together with the 8
reserved spaces for Rivertown Commons residents, the total number of residential passes
would be 10% of the parking spaces in the ramp.
2. A seasonal residential pass may be sold by the City only if the vehicle has been issued a
handicapped parking permit by the State of Minnesota.
3. The seasonal permit will only be valid between October 15t and April 30th.
4. Prior to offering seasonal residential passes next winter season, the program will be re-
evaluated by the Parking Commission and City Council.
5. The permit is not transferable.
6. The cost of manufacturing and installing a reserved parking sign shall be borne by the
permit holder.
REQUEST
The City Council has requested the Parking Commission to recommend a fee amount for the
seasonal residential pass.
FEE CONSIDERATIONS
1. The cost of the seasonal permit should not be less than the pro -rated cost of the $300 per
year paid by Rivertown Commons for each of their 8 reserved spaces. That would be a pro-
rated cost of $25 per month. This amount covers ramp operational costs.
2. The 8 parking spaces for Rivertown Commons exist because of the 8 surface spaces they
had prior to constructing the ramp. Consequently, the cost of the 8 spaces was subsidized
by the City. They were not charged for facility construction costs, only operation costs.
3. It would be reasonable to consider charging more for the additional 17 seasonal residential
permits, because it is hard to justify subsidizing those spaces.
4. At a construction cost of $22,000 a space, with an expected life of 50 years, the annualized
construction cost of a space would be $440. This is about $37 a month.
5. Since the parking space would likely sit vacant throughout the entire winter, it may not be
justifiable to charge $62 per month for the permit ($25 operation cost + $37 construction
cost). Perhaps it could be discounted by one third to $40 per month.

Item 5
THE BIRTHPLACE OF MINNESOTA
TO: Downtown Parking Commission
FROM: Bill Turnblad, Community Development Director
DATE: March 21, 2011
RE: Special Events
Special Event Permit Applications
Two event organizers submitted event permit applications that the Parking Commission needs to
review this month. However, neither application was submitted in a completed format.
Fire Muster
The Minnesota Fire Engine Club has submitted an event permit application for an event known as
the Stillwater Fire Muster. The event is scheduled to be held on Sunday, June 26`h from noon to 5
PM. It features vintage fire trucks and would include a parade, static display of parked engines,
and a water canon display.
The application materials are not clear, but is appears that the organizer would like to reserve 169
parking spaces in two adjacent municipal parking lots north of Myrtle Street. The requested spaces
are shown in the attached air photo. Since 50 of these spaces are reserved for River Market
customers, written permission must be received from River Market and forwarded to the City prior
to City Council approval of the event.
At the standard fee of $9 each, the 169 spaces would cost a total of $1,521.
The Parking Commission should consider the situation and recommend a fee to the City Council.
Spring Art Fair
The Spring Art Fair is scheduled for the weekend of May 21-22 with setup occurring on Friday May
20`h. Though details have not yet been submitted by the Chamber of Commerce, it is their hope to
have the event in Lowell Park and one of the adjacent parking lots. If that venue is unavailable
because the park has not yet dried out from flood waters, it will be located in the City parking lot
just north of The Lofts. If details are submitted by the Chamber of Commerce prior to the April 21
Commission meeting, staff will review the information and prepare a recommendation on parking
fees.

THE BIRTHPLACE OF MINNESOTA
TO: Downtown Parking Commission
FROM: Bill Turnblad, Community Development Director
DATE: April 13, 2011
RE: Request for handicapped parking spaces in front of 208 S 3rd St
BACKGROUND
Jim Buege of Alcoholics Anonymous (A.A.) has requested that the City reserve two on -street
handicapped parking spaces in front of their building at 208 S. 3`d Street. Ever since the City
designated as a no parking zone the five on -street spaces across from them next to the Armory (see
attached photo), it has been difficult for handicapped A.A. clients to find accessible parking.
This request was seen by the Parking Commission at the March meeting, but was tabled for
additional information. Mr. Buege will be at the Commission meeting on April 215t to answer
questions.
COMMENTS
Since the south entrance of the AA building is at grade, their handicapped clients use that door.
So, the two on -street spaces closest to that door are being requested.
The facility currently has one handicapped parking space in the parking lot west of the building.
The two signs and sign posts, together with their installation by the City's public works department
would have to be paid for by A.A.

Mr. Turnblad,
As per our conversation I would like to request that the city place two handicapped parking spots in front of 208
s 3`d St ,Stillwater due to the parking situation that has occurred and made it difficult for the handicapped
recovering individuals to attend A.A. meetings. They should be placed to the south toward the south entrance to
the building. It would be very much appreciated for parking has diminished because the city has yellow lined
parking across the street and lot parking is not being allowed by owners that used to allow it.
Any questions please call me at 612-747-0497
