Brown's Creek Nature Preserve Mountain Bike Track Update Commission Items/Topics CITY OF STILLWATER PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION December 16, 2013 Present: Chairman Linda Amrein, Commissioners Rob McGarry, David Brandt, Solveg Peterson, Council Liaison Mike Polehna Absent: Commissioners Scott Christensen, Don Stiff, Sandy Snellman Staff present: Public Works Superintendent Tim Moore Others present: Bruce Werre, Roger Ruetten Approval of Minutes - Motion by Brandt, seconded by Amrein, to approve the November 25, 2013 minutes. All in favor. OPEN FORUM - There were no public comments. ACTION ITEMS McKusick Lake Neighborhood Fishing Pier Moore stated that the City has been approached by Bruce Werre, representing lakeshore owners, with a proposal to install an 18 -foot octagon fishing pier on the north side of McKusick Lake. Bruce Werre clarified that he wants to get some of the groundwork done before going to the lakeshore owners for approval. He would want 100% lakeshore owner approval before going forward with the project. The Department of Natural Resources' Fishing in the Neighborhood (FIN) Program is interested in partnering with the McKusick Lake Association and the City on the project. The FIN Program would provide the materials for the dock and stock bluegill sunfish in the spring. Installation would be largely with donations and volunteer labor. The dock would have to be handicapped - accessible. He hopes the City would provide engineering resources, and if a trail ramp is required for ADA compliance, possibly provide the money for that. Cost of a bituminous ramp would be about $2,000. The dock would also be an observation platform for wildlife. After installation, the dock would be City- owned. Roger Ruetten noted that the project may qualify for a Sunrise Rotary Club grant and Rotary Foundation matching funding. Motion by Amrein, seconded by Peterson, that the Commission recommend the project in concept and direct staff to work with the McKusick Lake Association and other related organizations as needed to move the project along. All in favor. Park and Recreation Board Minutes December 16, 2013 Page 2 of 2 2014 Park Fees and Tents Moore explained that the Commission needs to review park fees for 2014 and also address the issue of whether tents should be allowed in Lowell Park. Staff recommends that no tents be allowed in Lowell Park except for special events open to the public, and the maximum tent size allowed in Pioneer Park be 20' by 20' or 400 square feet maximum. Staff also proposes that the rental fee for the amphitheater at Lowell Park be $100 damage deposit and a $125 fee, similar to the Pioneer Park Bandshell. Polehna suggested making all damage deposits $100 to make it easier. He feels there should be a higher fee for commercial use of the parks, for example a movie production company that wants to use Lowell Park for a day. McGarry said the City is not in the business of making a profit, so the Commission might consider eliminating fees for park use. Motion by McGarry, seconded by Brandt, to recommend approval of the staff recommendation for 2014 park fees and tent restrictions. All in favor. COMMISSION ITEMS /TOPICS Rinks and Trails Moore said the ice rinks are open. The trail groomer is working well. Motion by Amrein, seconded by McGarry, to adjourn. All in favor. The meeting was adjourned at 8:00 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Julie Kink Recording Secretary }� t �%�lr'�1✓9r�iLil9�i/ir. �irt.�fn Y /�£�1�1 /�' /6�P To: Parks and Recreation Commission / From: Tim Moore, Public Works Superintendent C y Date: January 23, 2014 Re: North Hill Community Garden As part of the 2013 agreement with the City of Stillwater and the North Hill Community Garden, an annual meeting is required to discuss policy and operations.

Minutes respectfully submitted, Peg Malanaphy, Secretary January 18, 2014 ,-jillwater µrrrrr,p, r-i 0ti na NNk lltd�r WWWI REPORT DATE: January 23, 2014 REGUARDING: Master Plan for Barge Terminal Property PREPARED BY: Bill Turnblad, Community Development Director In 1998 the Park Commission was involved in working with SRF Consulting Group to develop a Master Plan for what was then referred to as the "Aiple Property". That plan was approved by the City Council. Not much of the plan has been implemented yet. However, it is poised for development in the very near future. Within the past year the two historic Bergstein buildings were moved from Oak Park Heights to the north end of the property in preparation for earthwork associated with the new St. Croix River crossing. And over the next few years at least two other improvements will be completed. The first improvement will be the construction of a loop trail by MnDOT on both sides of the St. Croix River Valley between the current lift bridge and the new bridge. The loop trail will traverse the City's "barge terminal" property with two segments: a bike segment and a pedestrian segment. The second improvement already planned and funded is the construction of a DNR public landing on the south end of the park. In addition to the two planned and funded improvements, the Chamber of Commerce's downtown revitalization committee has advocated for a municipal dock on the park property. The City Council heard the request and has directed city staff to study the possibility. Consequently, with the pending improvements to the property, the City Council has asked staff and the Park Commission to solicit bids from park planning consultants to update the Master Plan for this park. Specific Request Prior to requesting bids, the scope of the plan update needs to be determined. So, staff is requesting the Park Board to discuss what elements of the plan need to be updated, as well as a timetrame for completion of the plan update. Barge Terminal park plan January 23. 2014 Page 2 .,. •i•�ifl�.i The 1998 Master Plan (a copy of which is attached) was developed for both the "Aiple Property" and Kolliner Park on the Wisconsin side of the river. The plan addresses the physical conditions of the two properties, as well as a myriad of potential improvements. Several concept alternatives are included for final build out. Also included in the plan is an exhaustive list of agencies with review (and sometimes approval) authority over the various plan elements. To date, the City has not decided upon a preferred alternative among the concepts. The identified alternatives include: A: No Use of Railroad Line Demolish Terra Building (completed) Most Open Park Area Minimal Park B: Boat Launch at South End (plans and funding source developed) Re -use Terra Building, as, Picnic Shelter Convert Railroad Tracks to Trail (to be completed by MnDOT) C: Convert Railroad Tracks to Trail Relocate Andiamo .Docks (completed) Re -use Terra Building as Picnic Shelter Maximum Parking Spaces D: Convert Railroad Tracks to Trail (to be completed by MnDOT) Re -use Terra Building as Visitors Center Some Parking at South End (land to be provided by MnDOT, city to construct) With the changes that have occurred or are about to occur on the property, there are a certain number of elements that will have to be updated at a minimum. Those elements include: ® MnDOT loop trail segments and their associated stornwater pond Bergstein Shoddy Mill and Warehouse, historically designated structures DNR Boat Landing and Parking Lot Southern trailhead parking lot ® Community- initiated public boat docking Plan for both trail and St. Croix Boat & Packet uses near the north end of park In addition to updating the Master Plan for the park, the Commission should identify a process for naming the park. If the park's name is to have a historical connection (which of course is not Barge Terminal park plan January 23, 2014 Page 3 required), then it would be good to research the story of the property. Generally speaking, the property's first prominent use after European settlement was for the Hersey Bean Sawmill. Thereafter it was owned by the East Side Lumber Company (which also owned the saw mill and property on the Wisconsin side of the river). Sometime in the first half of the 20th Century the East Side Lumber Company donated the former Hersey Bean land to the City. Not long after that, the City was looking for economic development opportunities to replace the lost lumbering industry. So, the city created a barge terminal on the site and eventually leased it to the Aiple Barge Company. Recommendation Staff believes the most efficient approach to defining the scope of work would be for the Park Commission to: 1. Review the list of elements identified above as required. 2. Add any elements it finds appropriate. Discuss a process for naming the park. This will be done by the Park Commission. It will be outside of the scope of work for the park planning consultant.

STILLWATER HAS A UNIQUE AMBIANCE AMONG CITIES in the Twin Cities area — it is a community rich in both location and historical architecture. Situated along the St. Croix River (a National Scenic Waterway), Stillwater attracts people pursuing everything from downtown strolls and homemade fudge to campfires and canoes. The addition of a new waterfront park on the 20 -acre Aiple Property and rehabilitation of the 26 -acre Kolliner Park will represent a significant contribution to the City's existing amenities. The Aiple Property is bounded by the St. Croix River on the east, Sunnyside Marina on the south, Highway 95 on the west and Andiamo docking facilities to the north. A commercial lease is due to expire this year, and the property offers a tremendous opportunity for the City to add to its riverfront parks and open space system. Kolliner Park is located across the St. Croix River (in Wisconsin) from downtown Stillwater. The site was donated to the City 81 years ago with the condition that the river bluffs be preserved from the "devastation of commercial usage." Through the years the citizens of Stillwater have worked hard to capitalize on the City's unique character while being careful to protect it. This park planning effort will continue that policy by identifying improvements that respect Stillwater's culture and environment and provide new recreation opportunities. • Aiple Property & Kolliner Park Master Plan CONSULTING GROUP, INC.

The Northwestern Mills complex occupied nearly one mile of riverfront and included a general merchandise store. The mill's fortune declined with the century. Rising production costs, diminishing supplies of timber and increased distances to markets contributed to the Mill's closure in 1904. By 1910, nearly all of the structures associated with the operation had been dismantled, however a few stone and brick foundations — as well as the bark and sawdust of 44 years of mill operation — can still be found on the Aiple Property.

The East Side Lumber Company donated the land to the City of Stillwater in 1917 with a definite f/ purpose: "In eivinp, this to the City, it is with the feeling and desire that the bluffs will be preserve from devastation of commercial usage and the beauty of them kept for all our people and to this end we hope you will see fit to put the property under the jurisdiction of your Park Board," wrote company president David Bronson on March 12, 1917. "We hope that in the years to come that the shore rights will also prove of additional value to the City." The Bronson family meant it. In 1926, J.D. Bronson wrote a stern letter to the City Council expressing displeasure with the City's use of the property for its sand supply. Since being bequeathed to the City — and the resolution of the sand issue — Kolliner Park has remained true to the cause of recreation. A Tourist Camp was built on the site in 1924 and in 1931 the American Legion received permission to construct a swimming beach south of the Highway 64 Bridge. Vandalism forced the closure of the swimming beach and park in 1979. Koffiner Park w f® T4; V +nor Aiple Property & Kolliner Park Master Plan CONSULTING GROUP, INC.

These two sites offer differing opportunities; however, each will have a significant impact on the future of downtown Stillwater by preserving and enhancing its unique historical, natural and recreational environment. The selection of park amenities will be a cooperative effort between the City of Stillwater, its residents and the numerous agencies whose interest is to protect and preserve the natural asset that is the St. Croix River. The use opportunities shown here are drawn from the Downtown plan, and other sources, and are preliminary in nature. Aiple Property & Kolliner Park Master Plan G— UP,INC.

This matrix lists the agencies that may be required to review the City of Stillwater's plans for the two sites and the issues each agency would address.

Reou *-% jkVW T , Aiple Property & Kolliner Park Master Plan CONSULTING GROUP,INC. May 7, 1998 is BASIC LAND USE and site development is regulated by the City of Stillwater Zoning Ordinance on the Aiple Property and by the St. Croix County, Wisconsin, Zoning Ordinance on the Kolliner Park site. Substantial portions of each site fall within the floodway, shoreland and bluff land overlay districts of the respective zoning ordinances. Among other agencies with approval or permitting authority, the Lower St. Croix Management Commission ( LSCMC) (representing the Minnesota/Wisconsin Boundary Area Commission, the Minnesota and Wisconsin DNRs and the National Park Service) and the Corps of Engineers are key. In discussions with staff and commissioners of these organizations, several important issues were identified: i. Park development should seek to improve the natural environment along the river, not merely maintain status quo. 2. Addition of new river moorings is limited by LSCMC policy. 3. There is interest among the agencies in the St. Croix Visitors' Center concept, however, there are no funding or management resources available. 4. The reuse of the Terra building represents the best opportunity for a new Visitor Center. 5. A precedent exists in Hudson for bath house reconstruction on the river. 6. The City's status as a private landowner in Wisconsin may limit potential development of the Kolliner site. Aiple Property & Kolliner Park Master Plan CONSULTING GROUP, INC. TwoPUBLIC SURVEY forms were prepared and distributed with in the local community. The first form was distributed through local newspapers, at City Hall and at the first open house. This form asked general questions about potential park uses and perceived areas of concern. A total of approximately 50 responses were collected. The highest positive response for park uses were: Aiple Property Preferred Uses Walking connection to Downtown Hiking trails Native plantings /wildflowers Picnic shelter Biking trails Kolliner Park Preferred Uses Swimming beach Picnic shelter Hiking trails Native plantings /wildflowers Reconstructed bath house Fishing pier Frequently Mentioned Issues and Concerns were: Preservation of views/landscape Environmental issues Preservation of heritage It was concluded that these are uses and issues on which there is a consensus in the community and which must be accommodated in any Master Plan scheme. Aiple Property & Kolliner Park Master Plan CONSULTING GROUP, INC. IN The second survey form was distributed at the second public open house and was mailed to interested parties. This form asked for comments on key aspects of the concept alternatives, particularly uses that received a medium level of positive response on the first form. An overall preference among the four Aiple Property schemes and the two Kolliner Park schemes was also requested. A total of eight meetings or presentations were held during the park planning process during which the public was invited to comment. In addition, the park plans were presented on two occasions at public meetings of the Lower St. Croix Management Commission. Aiple Property & Kolliner Park Master Plan CONSULTING GROUP, INC. THE FOLLOWING PLANS were presented at a public open house held at City Hall on June 18, 1998. The plans outline various concept alternatives; four alternatives for the Aiple property and two alternatives for Kolliner Park. The alternatives show the optimal location and size for different park facilities which were suggested in previous public meetings. Certain uses are consistent in all plans because they received wide support in previous meetings and public surveys. These uses include: walking connection to downtown, hiking and biking trails, picnic shelter and native planting areas for the Aiple property Beach renovation, picnick- ing and native planting areas are consistent on both schemes for Kolliner Park. At both sites, Alternative A suggests the lowest level of use. The key components of each alternative are as follows: Aiple Alternative A Key Features: No Use of Railroad Line Demolish Terra Building(fertilizer plant) Most Open Park Area Minimal Parking Aiple Alternative B Key Features: Boat Launch at South End Re -use Terra Building as Picnic Shelter Convert Railroad Tracks to Trail M— — — Aiple Property & Kolliner Park Master Plan CONSULTING GROUP, INC.

THEAiPLEPROPERTY The Master Plan for the Aiple Property is designed to maximize pedestrian access to the 20 -acre riverfront property, while respecting its unique location and natural river floodplain character. Access is provided from four points: a multipurpose path extends north into downtown adjacent to the existing railroad line; an improved sidewalk connection to an existing public parking lot and to downtown via Main Street; pedestrian and automobile access to trails and parking at the main entry opposite the Oasis service station; and vehicular access to parking from the Sunnyside Marina road. In all cases, access requires crossing property that is currently private. A io- foot -wide multipurpose trail runs the length of the Aiple Property, connect- ing the park's features. The trail loops back on itself at the south end, creating a continuous L5 -mile hike from downtown and back. The io -foot width of the trail allows for security patrols by police squad cars. Safety lighting mounted on low poles is discreetly placed along the path. The park includes two new floating docks on the water: a public fishing pier at the south end of the site and a permanent mooring for the Cayuga barge, which would become a viewing deck and interpretive exhibit. The Cayuga, which was donated to the City, would be moved from its current loca- tion at the south end to a new location opposite the main entry. Along with the barge would be four slips for visitor boats or a water taxi. Near the barge, the centerpiece of the park is a large lawn area for picnicking and informal recreation. The lawn area is served by two picnic shelters, a restroom and Aiple Property & Kolliner Park Master Plan CONSULTING GROUP, INC. a small parking lot. At the center of the lawn area, an old section of limestone foundation wall could be cleaned up to serve as a backdrop for programmed events such as small concerts, weddings and group meetings. Just south of the picnic area is a woodland garden bisected by wood chip trails that includes a special planting area to attract butterflies. In addition to a fishing pier, the south end of the park will include a new structure that will house equipment for the St. Croix Rowing Club, a public restroom and park maintenance room. An open seating area set within a shrub and flower bed will provide a location for informal picnicking and wildlife watching. After removing a large industrial pier, the natural beach shoreline will be cleaned up and improved to provide the City's only direct access to the water's edge south of Mulberry Point. All along the trail system, points of natural or historical interest are called out with interpretive markers and benches so that school children, residents and visitors alike gain a full appreciation of the natural and historical significance of the park.

Thorbeck Architects, Ltd. _ Aiple Property & Kolliner Park Master Plan CONSULTING GRnur, INC. September I0, I998 KOLLINER PARK The Master Plan for Kolliner Park seeks to return it to its former splendor as a swimming beach with a historic limestone bathhouse. The bathhouse would be located and detailed as close as possible to the original facility (constructed in 1930, while conforming to current design standards. It would include changing rooms, portable toilets, and space for lifeguards. The existing beach, adjacent to the bathhouse, with minimal improvements, would provide safe access to the water for swimmers. A narrow lawn area extends south along the water, providing space for picnicking and informal recreation. At the south end of the lawn is a public fishing pier, connected to the bathhouse area by a paved path. Access to the swimming beach is provided for cars by upgrading an existing entrance road and parking lot for 20 cars. The plan also suggests the possibility of a commercial water taxi mooring, which would provide an exciting means of visit- ing the beach from downtown Stillwater or from the park at the Aiple property, while minimizing the impact of cars on the site. North of Highway 64 and the historic lift bridge, the site remains largely unchanged from its current natural state. Although the north end of Kolliner Park was once home to rustic campgrounds, its most valuable use today is as a natural backdrop to the river, as seen from downtown Stillwater. The existing service road is retained. Additional planting along the water's edge is contemplated as a means to enhance the value of the shoreline to birds and to other wildlife.

AL $761,336.00 RESOLUTION 2005 -104 BE IT RESOLVED, by the Stillwater City Council, that the naming of city -owned Parks and Trails Policy as stated below is hereby adopted: 1. Names of parks /trails should reflect a unique or indigenous aspect of the city or the St. Croix Valley, either past or present. 2. Parks /trails may be named for physical structures (e.g. streets, buildings); established acreage (e.g. neighborhoods, property designations); natural features (e.g. bodies of water, flora, fauna, geography); or present or historical items (e.g. events, people who have made significant contribution /service to the City, places, businesses). 3. Names should be chosen carefully with appropriate input from those persons likely to be most affected by the park/trail. Names should not offend a person or a group of persons, nor potentially cause community conflict. 4. There shall be a permanent intent to the name and a name should not be changed without a good cause. 5. Existing parks /trails names are grand fathered and not subject to this policy. 6. The Parks and Recreation Commission will review and recommend a name to City Council. City Council has final authority for naming all parks and trails. 'Affl Mi Gam' ATTEST: Diane F. F.
