NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of
Stillwater hereby approves the preliminary plat of BROWNS CREEK PRESERVE with the

application package.
3. A total of $37,500 shall be paid to the City for park and trail dedication fees
($2,000 park dedication fee for each lot and a $500 trail fee for each lot).

6. The street widths are shown as 28' back of curb to back of curb and must be
increased to a minimum of 28' face to face.
7. The storm pond on the southeast corner of the site shall have an access road
for maintenance vehicles. The outlet form the pond shall be a manhole with
outlet and not a weir structure as proposed. Settlers Glen 9th has a back yard
drainage pipe draining to their abutting wetland. This drainage pipe in
Settler's Glen should drain into the Brown's Creek Preserve pond so that
there is one outlet instead of two. (Other alternate designs are possible, but
must be approved by the City Engineer.)
8. Drainage from Monterey Court shall not be directed into Macey Way.
9. Backyard drainage from lots 1 to 10 is a concern, since proposed grades are
minimal. A revised drainage system must be proposed and approved by the
City Engineer.
10. This development will be responsible for paying the Trout Stream Mitigation
Fee of $10,021 per acre; the Transportation Mitigation Fee of $17,160 per acre;
and trunk sewer and water fees as yet to be determined by City Engineer.
These fees will be due prior to release of the final plat for recording with
Washington County.
11. The annexation petition shall not be filed with the Minnesota Municipal
Board until utilities have been extended to Browns Creek Preserve property
lines.
12. Prior to releasing the final plat for filing with Washington County, the
landscape plan shall be revised to show 45 trees to be planted on the lots, at a
rate of three trees per lot.
13. The tree protection fencing must be installed per the Landscape Notes on the
tree inventory page L1.1, prior to grading activities. Trees and treed areas to
be removed should be clearly marked so they can be distinguished from trees
to be preserved and vice versa.
14. The landscaping plan must be revised prior to release of the final plat for
filing with Washington County. The revisions must include better tree
species diversity. Specifically, tree species diversity is to be increased by
adding native, or near -native species such as: oak species (N. red, N. pin, bur,
bicolor), hackberry, American linden ('Redmond' is one variety), red maple,
river birch, paper birch, thornless honey locust and sugar maple.
15. The existing driveway easement over Brown's Creek Trail to McKusick Road
should be vacated prior to filing the final plat with Washington County.
Enacted by the City Council of the City of Stillwater, Minnesota this 18'` day of June, 2013,
