AUGUST 22, 2011
Present: Linda Amrein, Don Stiff, David Brandt, Solveg Peterson, Sandy Snellman,
Scott Christensen, Councilmember Mike Polehna
Absent: Rob McGarry
Staff Present: Assistant Public Works Superintendent Tim Moore
Ms. Amrein called the meeting to order at 7:05 p.m.
Approval of Minutes: Ms. Amrein asked for clarification as to where the new DNR
ramp will be that is mentioned on page 2 under Aiple Park. Mr. Moore responded that
the ramp will be added at far end of the driveway to the lift station, just inside the
Sunnyside entrance, about 1,000 feet in. There was also a correction on page 1 under
Lowell Park. It should read "developing turf" and the words "for soccer, football and
baseball" should be taken out. Ms. Snellman, seconded by Mr. Stiff, moved to approve
the July 25, 2011 Parks and Recreation Commission minutes as amended, removing
the words after developing turf "for soccer, football and baseball." Motion passed
unanimously.
OPEN FORUM
Andrew Tomten, who lives by the courthouse on South 5 th Street, stated that he is from
Boy Scout Troop 114, and is planning his Eagle Scout service project. He would like to
build a canoe rack at Lily Lake, near the beach by the hockey rink for convenient
carrying distance, or by the north end of the boat launch. He is asking for approval and
support for his project. The rack will provide temporary storage for 6 -8 canoes. If
longer term storage is necessary, a locking system would be needed, but people could
provide their own locks. Mr. Polehna suggested having canoe racks on several lakes.
The project requires about 200 hours of service, including research on materials and
building style, along with the actual work.
As a possible alternative, Mr. Moore suggested the need for kiosks to hold information
and maps at various walking and biking trail heads. Mileage markers on posts would
also be helpful. Another suggestion was sign holders on posts, using something that
would be easy to change information as needed such as clear plexiglass in a frame.
There is also a need for fire pits in various parks. These would all be good projects to
involve other scouts in as well.
Ms. Amrein suggested the Commission give Andrew their support for whichever project
he decides on, and that he should work with staff on actual details, materials, and
location. Mr. Moore offered to be the contact staff person.

ACTION ITEMS
Continued Discussion on the 5 -Year CIP Proposal /Work Plan
As part of this 5 -year CIP, Commissioners were asked to review the list and prioritize
projects or add any items. Mr. Moore explained that, for instance, $45,000 is budgeted
for construction and maintenance of tennis and basketball courts at various parks,
wherever it is needed the most. The funding source of "GO Debt" indicates General
Obligation bonds. All CIP purchases are GO Debt. Not all of the items listed will need to
be a part of CIP since smaller projects can be done with city manpower, and won't
generate extra cost other than materials and equipment.
Mr. Brandt felt that bike facilities for downtown and Browns Creek Park should be a high
priority. There could be 50,000 bikers coming through Stillwater per year using the new
Gateway trail created by the State, so the need for bike racks is great. Improving
connections and road overpasses for trails is also high priority, as is the addition of
bathrooms. All of this will bring more visitors and more business to Stillwater. $192,000
has been requested for trail improvements over the next 5 years. Trails needing
attention are Long Lake Trail, Cty Rd 12 trail which is a county trail but maintained by
City and Cty Rd 5 Trail by the golf course and between Orleans & Curve Crest. General
consensus was that Stillwater needs to add more bike racks, benches and possibly bike
lockers based on predicted usage of the Gateway Trail and other park trails. Benches
and bike racks could be sponsored by individuals and groups to save some cost.
Ms. Arnrein asked about plans for Bergman Park in Legends. This park has a ball field
and two soccer fields, but possibly be a priority for playground equipment. She
suggested starting some neighborhood meetings about what should be added here.
Another question was asked about developing a trail system by the 4 th Street ravine at
Hickory, starting at 4 th and going northeast behind the old prison. This would be a nice
connection with downtown, but there are easement issues, as the City does not own all
the property along the ravine. Some draining improvements have already been done.
Liberty Square neighborhood has requested playground equipment, but that area
seems more like a commercial area, so may not be a top priority. Residents could use
Settlers Park.
The following list was suggested for prioritizing projects for 5 -year CIP.
High Priority
Preparing for Browns Creek Trail
Legends Park wooden structure needs replacing
Lily Lake Park needs conduits for lighting, improve tennis courts and beach
Bike Racks
Trail Improvements
Millbrook Park Development
Pioneer Park — band shell improvement, electrical upgrades
Railings that present a safety concern
Parks and Recreation Commission
August 22, 2011
Page 3 of 4
Northland Park needs maintenance, drainage improvement and playground equipment
Lowell Park Improvements (some for safety concerns).
Recreation Center — Message Board repaired
Lower Priority
Long Lake Open Space — picnic shelter, trails
Aiple Park Development - contingent on the bridge
Staples Field
Boutwell Cemetery
Public Works Field — bleachers
Bergman Park — playground with neighborhood input
Other ideas discussed were winter usage of parks for skiing, skating, etc. at Browns
Creek and Northland. Maybe install boardwalks for skiing or possibility a warming
house in Browns Creek. There is a group that grooms the area and there is some
snowmobile usage. It was suggested that it would be nice to have small fishing piers for
kids to use, and that this could be an idea for an Eagle Scout project. Parking would
have to be considered. Mr. Moore stated that he has been approached by a few people
about an aquatic facility, but the $8 -10 million it would cost to build such a facility in
addition to high annual maintenance costs are prohibitive.
Fall Colors Fine Art & Jazz Festival
The agreement is similar to last year's and will be reviewed by Council on September 6.
Mr. Moore explained that according to the new special events policy, organizations
involved will be invoiced for certain services that the City provides. In the past, the City
provided four port -a- potties in lieu of closing Lowell Park restrooms and the applicant
provided four additional port-a- potties. This year the Lowell Park restrooms will remain
open because the event is being held entirely north of Chestnut Street. Therefore it is
proposed to charge for the park fee, use of barricades and electricity, and require eight
port-a- potties to be paid for by the applicant. Ms. Amrein, seconded by Ms. Snellman,
moved to approve the Fall Colors Fine Art & Jazz Festival agreement as presented,
including a park fee of $500 and charging the applicant for the use of barricades,
electricity and eight port-a- potties. Motion passed unanimously. Ms. Snellman said that
she had read that there may be a crew on hand filming a movie. Mr. Moore explained
that this would be a separate issue, requiring a movie permit from the City.
Millbrook Development Park
This year staff began improving the turf and installing an irrigation system. Mr. Moore
stated that he has been approached by the St. Croix Valley Baseball Association to
partner on the development of a youth baseball field. There has been in increase in
requests for more fields. Mr. Moore proposed moving the gazebo taken out of Legends
Park to Millbrook Park. A neighborhood meeting to allow input from the surrounding
residents about the park development was set for September 26 at 7 p.m. as part of
the regular Parks Commission meeting. Notices will be mailed out shortly.

INFORMATIONAL ITEMS
No informational items presented.
COMMISSION ITEMS /TOPICS
Ms. Amrein received a call in early August from Alison McGinnis, whose group would
like to give a Power Point presentation to the Council and /or the Con irnission about the
proposed dog park. It was suggested that the group attend an upcoming Parks meeting
and make their presentation, including a list of prioritized location options.
Mr. Polehna informed the Commission that a resident complained to him that Pioneer
Park is so overgrown that he can't see the river any more. Mr. Moore responded that
they have done some trimming and are getting quotes on the locust trees and brush
that need to be removed.
Prairie restoration will be done in the little area in Northland Park between the sidewalk
and the woods, not around the horseshoe area and may be done next year.
Meeting adjourned at 8:50 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Carol Danielson

RE: Parking Fee for Stillwater Harvest Fest
BACKGROUND
Summer Tuesdays Inc and the Stillwater Convention and Visitor's Bureau are sponsoring the
2011 Stillwater Harvest Fest. It is being expanded this year from one to two days to allow the
addition of new activities. On Friday evening there will be a Street Dance with alcohol sales (a
Temporary Liquor License will be needed for this) and on Saturday evening there will be a free
beer and wine tasting (a permit to consume will be needed for this).
The event will be located in North Lowell Park and the adjacent City parking lots.
WAIVER OF 10 PM LIMIT FOR AMPLIFIED MUSIC
Music for the Street Dance will be played from 4 to 11 PM. The nuisance ordinance requires
outdoor music to end at 10 PM usually. However, the Council has the option of waiving the
time limit for events. And, in the downtown area, the Council's consideration of the waiver
request does not need to be proceeded by public notice.
CONTRACT
This special event will be by contract. This allows the parking fees to be negotiated at a lower
rate than established in the city's annual fee resolution. It also allows for responsibility
clarification for the many elements of the event. If the Council is comfortable with the contract
(see exhibit), it could be approved by adopting the attached resolution of approval.
PARKING FEE
All 46 parking spots in Lot #4 and 50' spots in Lot #5 will be reserved all day Friday and
Saturday. The lots will be posted for the event on Thursday evening.
Attached is an air photo showing the festival layout.
There are 32 paved and well striped spots. The remainder of the lot is gravel. Since the gravel is not striped, the number of
parking spots is hard to detennine. Though the number of potential spots in the gravel area is over 30, people park where
they will. So, if the entire lot is being reserved, we have by policy decided that we would consider that to be 50 parking
spaces.
Page 2 of 2
The parking fee as established by Resolution 2010 -204 and applied to this event is presented in
the table below. A second table shows a modified fee as recommended by City planning staff.
The difference in the two fees is accounted for by the reduced daily rate. The standard fee
assumes a triple turnover of each spot and therefore charges three - times the normal parking
rate. But, since the two lots to be reserved are not pay lots, staff suggests charging just the $3
base fee for each reserved space. This base fee has been approved for most events that use
non -pay lots, so it would be consistent to apply the same policy to this event.

2011 STILLWATER HARVEST FEST
This Agreement between the City of Stillwater, Washington County, Minnesota ( "City "), in
conjunction with the Stillwater Harvest Fest of 2011, part of a community wide celebration of
the City (the "Event "); and Summer Tuesday Inc, and the Stillwater Convention Visitors Bureau
a Minnesota non- profit corporation ( "Organization ").

a. The Area. The area where dispensing of Liquor will be permitted is in the public
parking lot 5 and also in Lowell Park north of Myrtle St.
b. Fencing. The Area must be securely fenced by the Organization. The fencing must be
adequate to insure that alcohol sales and consumption remain inside the fence. A

area. The adequacy of exiting in the fence must comply with the Minnesota Code as
administered by the City Fire Chief.
c. Security. For the purpose of this plan, all Entry /Exit gates to the Area must be
controlled by security personnel while alcohol is being served. At each of these

bringing their own Liquor into the Area and the requirement for identification bracelets
must be worn to consume alcohol.
f. Identification. The Organization will provide at no charge liquor identification
bracelets. The Organization will permit no one to consume Liquor unless they are

issuance of bracelets and that the bracelets are given only to those who are legally
entitled to consume Liquor.
g. Compliance. The Organization shall obtain a temporary liquor license for the selling of
alcohol on Friday, October 7, 2011 and also obtain an alcohol consumption permit for
Saturday, October 8, 2011 with respective fees paid to the City. Prior to opening date

program regarding all aspects of alcohol compliance, including the problem of under-
age consumer, sales after hours, over - serving and the recognition of false identification.
The City Police Chief must approve the policy before implementation. The
Organization must train all alcohol servers with regard to the policy, including
instruction by a professional recognized in the area of alcohol awareness before the

h. Inspection. The Organization acknowledges that as a liquor license holder for the
Celebration, it is subject to Stillwater City Code §43 -8, which authorizes that all
premises from which intoxicating Liquor is offered at on -sale, are subject to inspection
for alcohol compliance by any police officer, health officer, or other designated officer
or employee of the City during all hours the Area is open for the serving of alcohol.
3. Noise Control The Event is responsible to control the noise emanating from the Area at a
level that will not interfere with the peace and repose of the residential area on the bluffs on
the north, west and south edges of the downtown.
4. Hours of Operation Operations are limited to 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. Friday, October 7, 2011
