WHEREAS, Tom and Karen Garley have made application for approval of the
preliminary plat for COTTONWOOD TRAIL ADDITION; and
WHEREAS, on April 8, 2013 the Stillwater City Planning Commission held a public
hearing and recommended approval of the preliminary plat; and
WHEREAS, on April 18, 2013 the Stillwater Township/City of Stillwater Joint Planning
Board held a public hearing and recommended approval of the preliminary plat; and

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of
Stillwater hereby approves the preliminary plat of COTTONWOOD TRAIL ADDITION with the
following conditions:
1. The site shall be developed in substantial conformance with the preliminary
plat dated 3/4/13 and development plans on file with the Community
Development Department and as approved by the City Engineer.

until after review and approval of the annexation request by the Minnesota
Municipal Board.
4. Easements and a maintenance agreement for the combined driveway must be
submitted to the City,approved by the City Attorney,and filed at
Washington County together with the final plat.
5. The developer will be responsible for extending the sewer and water from his
property line to the individual home sites. A plan for these extensions must
be approved by the City Engineer prior to release of the plat for recording at
Washington County.

7. The City Engineer must review the elevation of the lowest floor and floor
drains for the houses prior to issuance of building permits to provide
sufficient vertical separation above the highest elevation of the adjacent
wetland.
8. A landscaping and screening plan for providing as much privacy as
reasonably possible between the proposed house on Lot 2 and the existing
home to the east must be submitted to the City prior to City Council approval
of the Final Plat.

will be responsible for verifying with the City and consulting engineers that
the reduced space platted for roadway purposes is sufficient to accommodate
the road. If it is sufficient,then the amount to be paid by the City for the
reduced roadway property will be reduced commensurately.
10. The rezoning shall not become effective until the Final Plat for Cottonwood
Trail Addition is filed with Washington County for recording.
