Brent,
Northern Bedrock Historic Preservation Corps
Building a Foundation for Life.
September 9, 2015
Thank you for taking time to visit with Rolf and I at the Boutwell House. There are
definitely a few good projects for Northern Bedrock Historic Preservation Corps (NBHPC)
crew to be involved in at/near the Boutwell site. As we discussed the crew would be
available to work on the following projects from 10/12/2015-10/15/2015 :
Boutwell House:
• Removal of the loose contents inside the house to be placed in dumpsters.
o The crew would need guidance from the WCHS with regards to what
should/shouldn't be removed and disposed of.
o WCHS would provide dumpsters.
• Granary-Possibly cleaning this out and some minor demolition of contents
deemed not original, i.e. wiring, flooring in garage and other items determined by
WCHS, etc.
• Miscellaneous clean-up at Boutwell site to be determined.
City of Stillwater's Boutwell Cemetery:
• NBHPC staff have received training from Jarrod Roll , Save Your Stones, in the
proper maintenance of cemetery monuments . The crew will receive this training a
couple weeks prior to our project and will have completed a similar project prior to
our arrival.
• I want to confirm that you will work with the City of Stillwater to receive approval for
NBHPC to complete this work, which will include:
o Cleaning (5) headstones and (3) footstones-using 02 (product information )
-This product is used by a variety of Federal, State, local, for-profit and
non-profit organizations across the country and is recommended by the
National Center for Preservation Technology and Training (NCPTT).
o Leveling and re -setting (5) headstones and (3) footstones, as needed.
o NBHPC will provide tools and 02 needed for this project. WCHS will provide
pea gravel (4-6 0.5 cu. ft. bags) and paving sand (4-6 cu. ft. bags) for re-
setting, as recommended by NCPTT.
• WCHS will contact med ia outlets, Rev . Cader Howard and other local officials
publicize the work being completed by the crew.
Hay Lake School and Erickson Log Home :
• As you mentioned the rear accessible ramp on the log home needs to be replaced
-see attached pic-and would be a good project for us to complete.
o WCHS to provide all necessary permitting , general design specifications
and materials .
5165 North Shore Drive I Duluth, MN 55804
218.343.94 39
• Other potential projects at this site:
o Replacing/building a screen for the basement ventilation window-see
attached pic.
• NBHPC would need materials provided.
o Repair/replacement of the picnic tables on the site. I don't have a picture of
this, but I'm sure you know they're in pretty rough shape.
• NBHPC would need materials provided .
NBHPC camping on-site
• Typically , the crew camps at the worksite or other space provided by the project
host. We feel camping at the Boutwell House would work, the only thing we'd be
missing would be a port-a-potty. Would this arrangement work for you or is there
another site would be better that doesn't have a cost associated with it?
We're interested to hear your thoughts about these potential projects. When we initially
spoke, we thought we'd have five days of work available, but as looked at our schedule
we would only have four days available. Our plan would be to work four 1 0-hour days to
compensate for the loss of this day.
As we mentioned , the true cost for a week of crew work is $5,000; you mentioned you
have $2,500 available now and would need to consult the WCHS Board of Directors.
Possibly the City of Stillwater would have some funding for the day of working on the
Boutwell Cemetery. Please let us know the result of any conversations you have or if you
need more information.
Let me know how this matches up with what you were planning and we can fine tune the
details.

with changes as discussed by Melissa Douglas, and approve Case No. 2015-14, Comprehensive
Plan Amendments.

City Council Meeting September 15, 2015
Page 3 of 10
Councilmember Junker asked what Commission would lead the implementation and oversight of
the plan; and Mr. Turnblad responded that there will be either a standing group or one that will
be created, to oversee implementation. Membership and staffing of the group has not been
determined.
Councilmember Polehna commended staff on the process and all the public meetings that were
held.
Mayor Kozlowski remarked when the process started, it seemed daunting. He expressed
appreciation for the output and effort that went into the plan; and opened the public hearing.
Rick Heidick, 3557 White Pine Way, stated it is a great plan that will enhance the attractiveness
of the community; and that there should be continued citizen involvement, especially toward
development of an atmosphere of co-existence with bicyclists.
Kathleen Vollmer, 1281 Amundson Circle, read a letter that supported the draft plan and
encouraged the formation of an advisory committee. She added that she uses the trails for
horseback riding, walking and running; and that she would like trail users to be involved.
Louise Watson, 927 Northland Avenue, voiced support for the plan and volunteered to be on the
advisory group; and that she has a list of others who are also very interested in the trails plan.
Hank Gray, 231 North Everett Street, a representative of the Stillwater Area High School
Mountain Bike Team and of Stillwater Area Scholastic Cycling Advocates (SASCA), expressed
support for the plan.
Mayor Kozlowski closed the public hearing.
Motion by Councilmember Menikheim, seconded by Councilmember Junker, to adopt Resolution
2015-163, adopting the City of Stillwater Master Trails Plan and approving an Update to the City of
Stillwater 2030 Comprehensive Plan (Case No. 2015-14).

UNFINISHED BUSINESS

Community Development Director Turnblad pointed out that at the last meeting, a conceptual
vote was taken to deny the plat, based largely on the length of the cul-de-sac; and that staff drafted
Findings of Fact for adoption.
Motion by Councilmember Weidner, seconded by Councilmember Junker, to adopt Resolution 2015-
164, adopting Findings of Fact, Conclusions and Order Related to a 19 Lot Residential Preliminary
Plat and Associated Variances, Zoned RB: Two Family Residential, all for Property Located at 1902

Possible adoption of Findings of Fact for: a) approval of Special Use Permit for MN Shooting Gallery;
and b) denial of variance for size of shooting lanes.
Community Development Director Turnblad provided Findings of Fact that supported approval
of the SUP and denial of the variance, in regard to the conceptual vote taken at the last meeting.
Councilmember Junker inquired how the denial of the variance impacts parking requirements;
and Mr. Turnblad replied that perhaps when calculated, there may not be any more parking
required due to the reduction in size of the shooting range.
Motion by Councilmember Menikheim, seconded by Councilmember Junker, to adopt Resolution
2015-165, adopting Findings of Fact, Conclusions and Order related to a Special Use Permit and
Variance Requests for an Indoor Gun Range to be Located at 2159 Curve Crest Boulevard (Case No.
2015-15).
Ayes: Councilmembers Menikheim, Junker, Mayor Kozlowski
Nays: Councilmember Polehna
Abstain: Councilmember Weidner
Final review of landscaping plan for Lowell Park.
Public Works Director Sanders reviewed the landscape and tree plan for North Lowell Park done
by a volunteer, and indicated that $10,000 is budgeted for the planting. He noted the spacing
between trees is 80-140 feet, and that viewing corridors will be left open. He emphasized this is
just a plan and there is some flexibility, and that there has been discussion of moving some of the
trees on the north end a little to the west. Within the last week, someone has come forward
interested in donating $745 toward this project.
On a question by Councilmember Junker about eventual tree height and width, Mr. Sanders
responded that the redbuds could be 25 feet high, the red maples in the circle could grow to 50
feet high, and the pin oaks and white oaks could grow to 50-60 feet high and the canopy 50-60
feet in diameter.
Councilmember Junker remarked that the second row of trees almost divides the space in half, so
it appears they are grouped in one line versus staggered. Considering the 50 feet of width and the
spacing, it appears in the next 20 years the views of the river could be really tight. He felt that it
might almost appear like one solid row of trees from the point up to the Gazebo.
Mayor Kozlowski acknowledged that it is not a public hearing, but opened discussion up to the
public.
Rob Dombrowsky, 924 South Seventh Street and an owner of a slip in the Marina, indicated that
the trees would completely cut off his view of the river to the south. He would like to have a few
of the trees on the point removed so the view from the Marina is not completely obstructed and it
will be a critical factor in the value of his slip in the future.
Marcy Forsberg, 1504 Pine Street, a professional landscape and garden designer and co-president
of Pollinator Friendly Alliance, explained that the addition of the trees will create more of a line
of sight. The trees can be trimmed as needed and will add form, structure and color to the park.
She continued that all proposed tree species are great for pollinators and will help filter off
sediment going off into the river. She felt that shade in the park is sorely lacking and is in favor
of the plan.
City Council Meeting September 15, 2015
Page 5 of 10
Jim Spiegelhalter, Lofts of Stillwater resident, opposed the tree planting because the trees will
block river views. He stated that open space along the St. Croix is rare and that the planting of
these trees will impact generations to come.
Frank Fabio, owner of Maple Island Brewing, 225 Main Street North, felt that the City should
have notified the abutting property owners about the tree plan. He felt that the proposed trees will
be detrimental to visitors’ views. He read an email from Chuck Dougherty of the Water Street Inn
who agreed with the concerns expressed. He also read a letter from Tom Wortman who owns the
co-op/bookseller building, that stated the view is one of the top reasons people are attracted to
downtown Stillwater and felt that the trees would take away the unobstructed river view. As a
business owner on the river he has several concerns, and would like more discussion before it is
approved. He also took over the Stillwater car show, Cruisin’ on the Croix, and would like to plan
more events in the park however, the proposed tree plan would eliminate the best location for
organizations to hold events, which in turn would limit customers of downtown businesses. He
would rather see cabanas for those who want shade.
Tom Anderson, a resident of the Lofts, inquired how the trees could be higher than 35 feet, which
is the height limit for buildings. He felt the issue is about value and taxes and that he paid for the
river view when he bought his condo. He urged the Council to consider what people come to
Stillwater for - the river view.
Brian Utecht, 2628 Greenmeadow Court, commented there are few places that have unobstructed
views like Lowell Park. At maturity each tree would block 50 feet of viewing area. He is opposed
to the tree planting.
Gil Gragert, 510 North Fifth Street, remembered before the Lofts were there, there was quite a
view. He informed the Council and audience that it is not just about the trees, buildings block the
river too. He was in favor of the plan because people would be able to sit under the trees and get
a good look at the river.
Councilmember Junker pointed out that the stretch of Lowell Park north of the bridge affords a
180-degree panoramic, priceless view of that portion of the river. He added that the City now
owns property from Sunnyside to Wolf Marina; that from Sunnyside to the Dock Cafe it is very
wooded; and past PD Pappy’s, the trail to Wolf Marina is also very wooded. He continued that in
the south end of Lowell Park there are two trees. He stated that he is not against trees, but feels
the tree plan should be reconsidered and brought back to the Council. He understood the trees
would be planted this Saturday, so the plan appeared to be on a fast track.
Councilmember Menikheim suggested that the Council step back and take another look at the
issue; and that planting does not need to be completed this year.
Councilmember Polehna noted that the Freight House did not come in and say cut down the trees;
and that the biggest tree is in front of their deck. He can look out from Rafters and see the river.
He would have no problem eliminating a couple trees planned near the stage, but the City has
been talking about the trees for years, and now someone has come forward to assist and felt it
needs to get done.
Public Works Director Sanders explained that the particular trees were picked because they are
native to the area and should withstand the compacted soils and flooding.
Mayor Kozlowski remarked he is all for the trees, but would be alright with postponing planting.
He has looked at the river views from the Lofts, from corner buildings, and from locations in
Lowell Park, and feels seven trees in the view shed will not block a huge percentage of the view.
City Council Meeting September 15, 2015

Motion by Councilmember Polehna to approve the plan, eliminating two trees and moving others.
There was no second to the motion.
Councilmember Weidner pointed out that the Council already adopted the plan at the last meeting.
Public Works Director Sanders reiterated that he views it as a plan, and that if issues arise, the
engineering department or other staff can make a decision to change the plan. He continued that
the trees have not been ordered yet; and that Council has approved the expenditure from the capital
outlay budget for the purchase of the trees.
Councilmember Polehna rescinded his motion.
Motion by Councilmember Junker, seconded by Councilmember Menikheim, to rescind the plan that
was approved on August 18 and obtain more input to devise a new plan.
Ayes: Councilmembers Menikheim and Junker
Nays: Councilmembers Weidner, Polehna and Mayor Kozlowski voting nay.
Mayor Kozlowski stated he would like to leave the plan in place, but direct staff to be more
cautious about views, remove the trees planned near the amphitheater, and move two
southernmost trees further west from the river. He noted that it is a five-plus acre park and he does
not see how planting six to eight trees would destroy five acres of land.
Councilmember Junker argued that the river will be visible, but in a whole different light; and that
the nine trees will block views.
Mayor Kozlowski indicated that he appreciates the discussion, but trusts staff. He added that no
one is trying to block views or reduce property values; and that staff has been given direction.
Councilmember Weidner informed the audience that every plan for Lowell Park since the 1992
plan has included trees. He assumed prior to purchasing their condos, everyone viewed the plans
for Lowell Park, because it is public not private property.
Public Works Director Sanders confirmed that he will order the trees in the morning.
Councilmember Junker asked if someone from staff is going to be there to direct the planting; and
Mr. Sanders replied that staff will mark the locations for the trees so they do not conflict with
sewer, water and electrical lines.
Mayor Kozlowski suggested if proposed planting locations must be changed based on utilities, do
not plant the trees closer together but instead, plant fewer trees. He asked how hard it is to remove
the trees in future years; and Community Development Director Turnblad replied that there would
be an extra layer of regulation with the DNR, for tree removal. Mr. Turnblad added that this does
not mean they cannot be removed, but makes it more difficult, and a replanting plan would be
required.

Possible approval of Palmer Property purchase.
Community Development Director Turnblad explained that in 2013, Washington County and
Stillwater Township entered into an agreement to purchase the former Palmer property, and in

Township offered to assign rights in the purchase agreement to the City of Stillwater so the City
could be the sole purchaser. He added that the $116,000 land cost would be paid out of the Park
Dedication Fund. Since a portion of the land purchase price came from Washington County
Legacy Funds, he noted that there is a conservation easement on the property.

Possible approval of resolution in support of application for a temporary classification of body worn
camera data.
Police Chief Gannaway presented a resolution that was drafted by the Minnesota Chiefs of Police
Association. He explained that several agencies are requesting the Commissioner of the
Minnesota Department of Administration for a ‘temporary classification’ with regard to data
recorded by body-worn cameras (body cams); and that the resolution would re-classify data
retrieved from body cams. He noted that currently under state law, all data retrieved from body
cams would be considered public information; and officers routinely deal with members of the
community in awkward, revealing, and private moments. When the Department eventually starts

WHEREAS, the City of Stillwater is committed to ensuring the safety and security of all those
living in and visiting Stillwater; and
WHEREAS, fire is a serious public safety concern both locally and nationally, and homes are
the locations where people are at greatest risk from fire; and
WHEREAS, home fires killed 2,755 people in the United States in 2013, according to the
National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and fire departments in the United States
responded to 369,500 home fires; and
WHEREAS, working smoke alarms cut the risk of dying in reported home fires in half; and
WHEREAS, half of home fire deaths result from fires reported at night between 11 p.m. and
7 a.m. when most people are asleep; and
WHEREAS, Stillwater's residents should install smoke alarms in every sleeping room,
outside each separate sleeping area, and on every level of the home; and
WHEREAS, Stillwater's residents should install smoke alarms and alert devices that meet
the needs of people who are deaf or hard of hearing; and
WHEREAS, Stillwater residents who have planned and practiced a home fire escape plan are
more prepared and will therefore be more likely to survive a fire; and
WHEREAS, Stillwater's residents are responsive to public education measures and are able
to take personal steps to increase their safety from fire, especially in their homes; and
WHEREAS, the 2015 Fire Prevention Week theme, "Hear the Beep Where You Sleep. Every
Bedroom Needs a Working Smoke Alarm!" effectively serves to remind us that we need
working smoke alarms to give us the time to get out safely.
THEREFORE, I, Ted Kozlowski, Mayor of Stillwater do hereby proclaim October 4-10, 2015,
as Fire Prevention Week throughout this City, and I urge all the people of Stillwater to install
smoke alarms in every bedroom, outside each sleeping area, and on every level of the home,
including the basement and to support the many public safety activities and the efforts of the
Stillwater Fire Department during Fire Prevention Week 2015.

Attached is the estimate for the interior painting. Please review and if you have any questions feel free to give
me a call or shoot me an email.
As I mentioned, and with very few exceptions, we use a two coat application for our painting/coating projects.
This assures us and our client that we will receive a high quality finish product.
You asked for a separate bid for the front stairwell.
1 believe the wallpaper, including adhesive, would come off with minimal drywall repair .
Estimate to remove wallpaper, prep walls for paint and 2 coat walls would be 4k.
Occasionally .. Although it may appear the wallpaper is coming off with little damage to the drywall that is not always the
case.
Should we run into extensive repairs/patch work, I think unlikely, there would be an additional cost.
I am a reasonable contractor, usually working for reasonable people any additional costs wiould be above fair.
Again I think the walls will be fine. However over the past 27 years we have been dealt a few surprises in the wallpaper
removal department:)
Regarding the paint selection. Behr Premium Plus Ultra is a very high end interior latex paint. Remember that when you
paint in your house ..
Continuously rating #1 in Consumer Reports magazine. Better than that is we have been using this product for many
years and have had amazing results.
Wash ability is superb and touch up is excellent as well.
Although we do on occasion use a more industrial/commercial coatings I do not believe that would be necessary for this
application and
the ventilation is to poor as well. If used I am sure a few of the "guys" would need to go home with headaches:)
As I mentioned Rose. If it works for you this would be a good project for December. I will be booking this 3 week slot on
a first come basis.
Should you decide you would like us to do the work I would offer a 20% discount if scheduled for December 2015
providing
that time is still available.
We are currently scheduling for the end of September.
Also we would need to work in the evening and or on weekends. This would be at no additional cost to the City of
Stillwater.
Thanks for having us out Rose. It was a pleasure meeting you and again if you should have any question
1 am usually available by cell, listed below, or email.
Best regards,

Construction on this year's street improvement project is still ongoing with the paving of
the streets and sidewalk installation remaining. The streets in the improvement area
included Market Drive/ North Frontage Road from Curve Crest Boulevard to Washington

Final project costs is estimated at $579,151.84 right around the feasibility estimate. The
City would assess the project according to our assessment policy which has the properties
in the Industrial Park (Market Drive and the North Frontage Rad) being assessed at
1 00% and the remaining properties being assessed at 80%. There are a few separate
assessment rates proposed and these have been adjusted slightly from the feasibility study
to reflect the estimated cost of the project for each particular area. The rates are as
follows:
Street Segment
Market Drive/ North Frontage Road
North Second and Fourth
Commercial Properties
Residential Properties

$43.64
$45.20

Final Assess rate
$42.55/LF
$46.26/LF

These rates include two credits; a street life credit for the properties in the Industrial Park,
since the road was improved before its estimated 25 year life of a new road (21 years),
and a credit was given to the residential properties on Second and Fourth Streets for
being a State Aid road.
The assessment period would be 10 years at an interest rate of 4.5%. A copy of the
assessment roll is included.
Summary of the project cost breakdown after computing the final assessment amounts is
as follows:

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: David T. Magnuson
DATE: October 2, 2015
RE: The Terra Springs Maintenance Fund
The possible agreement regarding the Terra Springs Maintenance Fund remains on hold
with the staff and the HOA Board looking for a way forward. However, at this time, no progress
has been made toward an overall and comprehensive agreement , and the Funds remain on
deposit with the City with the obligation in the Development Agreement that the funds be held
and administered for "extraordinary maintenance and repair or capital improvements to the Trail
and the Interpretation System, and not for ongoing and ordinary maintenance ." The HOA for
Building One has nearly completed a rebuilding of the wall and entrance to the Trail on the Main
Street elevation. The configuration now includes a handicapped entrance to the Trail as part of
this improvement. Staff believes that the project meets the conditions set forth for the use of
these funds, and therefore supports the request made by the Building One Board, that $25,000 be
released to the Board for partial payment of the costs associated with the Trail entrance
improvements. The current balance ofthe Maintenance Fund is now almost $150,000. Staff is
prepared to answer questions.
Respectfully Submitted,
David T. Magn so

Harvest Fest Add-on Request
The City has received an add-on request for the 2016 Harvest Fest to incorporate helicopter rides
at Mulberry Point. This would require an amendment to the contract and Council approval. Flight
operations are extremely risky activities. Therefore, planning for this additional request two
weeks before the event causes concerns for Staff and recommends denial of the request based on
the following:
1. Repeated take off and landings would have an impact on the trees that were just planted
a nd damage the turf in Lowell Park
2. Take offs and landings increase risk to residents and Harvest Fest Attendees.
a. Numerous obstacles are located in and near the park, new trees, powerlines, marina
gas dock, severa l mid -rise buildings (all less than 800' from the potential landing
zone), Lofts, Stillwater Inn, Valley Bookseller, Maple Island Brewing, the Mills, etc.
b. Rotor wash from Helicopters is very dangerous and kicks up dust, and debris during
every take-off and landing.
i. This has the potential to cause injury to anyone close by and the chopper
could potential suck debris into the rotors.
ii. Cars in and near the parking lots may be damaged by debris during take offs
and landings which could result in damage claims to the event and the City.
c. Noise from the helicopter will be constant throughout the day and will echo in the
downtown area bouncing off the buildings.
3. The potential landing area would need constant security and the sidewalk around the
Mulberry Point would need to be secured (closed) preventing pedestrians from using it.
4. Depending on wind direction the take off and landings may occur over the crowd and/ or
over the buildings downtown increasing the hazard to attendees and residents.
5. Variances may be needed from the FAA due to the location (near Lake Elmo Airport) and
flying over a National Scenic Riverway. (Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) would
need to be contacted by the Organizer to determine what these requirements are).
6. A much more detailed Emergency Plan will need to be developed by the Harvest Fest
promoters and will need to be approved by Public Safety. The Plan will need to include
how the area will be secured, provide standby apparatus during the event, standby EMS,
ingress and egress to the site, etc.
7. This occurs at the same time as the Fire Department's Grand Opening Ceremony and
annual Fire Prevention Week Open House. Any standby emergency resources will need to
come from a neighboring department and the cost would need to be covered by the
Organizer.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends denial of the request.
ACTION REQUIRED:
Review the request. If Council concurs with the staff recommendation, they should pass a motion
denying the request.

from the lower price. Some people choose to go up just as a couple/pair.
Also, the ability to do air rides is a lways weather dependent. The pilot would
make a determination the day of the scheduled air rides to make sure it is safe

Fest 2015
REPORT DATE: September 25, 2015 CASE NO.: 2014-26
MEETING DATE: October 6, 2015
APPLICANT: Chris Aamodt, Settler’s Pines, LLC
REQUEST: 1. Approval of Development Agreement for Phase I of
Rutherford Station
2. Approval of Final Plat for Phase I of Rutherford Station
LOCATION: 8335, 8355, 8401 & 8455 Manning Avenue
REVIEWERS: Shawn Sanders, Public Works Director
Dave Magnuson, City Attorney
PREPARED BY: Bill Turnblad, Community Development Director
BACKGROUND
Chris Aamodt, Settler’s Pines, LLC, plans to develop 17.5 acres of land in the southeast
quadrant of the intersection of McKusick Road and Manning Avenue1. Currently the
land exists as four parcels with a home on each. 55 lots are proposed as part of this plat,
to be known as Rutherford Station, and all will gain access to Marylane Avenue via local
streets to be constructed by the developer.
On August 19, 2014 the City Council approved the final plat and Development
Agreement for this project. However, construction was delayed for a number of reasons.
The developer is now ready to begin, but would like to proceed in three phases.
Phase 1 would include the 17 southernmost lots. Work on it would begin this year.
Phase 2 would include the next 23 lots northward and be platted as Rutherford Station
2nd Addition. Phase 3 would include the final 15 lots and be platted as Rutherford
Station 3rd Addition.
1 The total site encompasses 19.98 acres. 17.5 will be developed while 2.48 have already been purchased by
Washington County for additional right-of-way along CSAH 15 (Manning Avenue).

SPECIFIC REQUEST
Chris Aamodt is requesting the City Council to approve: 1) the Development Agreement
as revised for Phase I of Rutherford Station; and 2) the revised final plat of Rutherford
Station (which now will only be the 17 lots in Phase I).
EVALUATION OF REQUEST
Chris Aamodt still plans to develop the property in the same configuration as was
approved in 2014. Construction scheduling would be the only change of substance. The
construction phasing of streets and utilities will make this a bit more challenging than the
original proposal. But, the City’s Public Works Director has reviewed the phasing and
finds it acceptable.
The phasing will prolong the construction inconvenience for neighbors to the east on
Marylane Avenue. To minimize this inconvenience, the entire length of Marylane
Avenue will be upgraded to bituminous during Phase 1.
The internal streets will be constructed with temporary turnarounds. These turnarounds
will be on outlot land owned by the developer, so temporary easements will not be
necessary.
The zoning classification of the property needs a note of explanation. The current zoning
map shows the property as AP, Agricultural Preservation. When the plat was approved
in 2014 a rezoning to RB, Two-Family Residential was also approved. But, a condition of
the rezoning was that it would not become effective until annexation was completed.
Since development was delayed, so too was annexation. When the City annexed the
property in January of 2015, the rezoning also took effect according to the condition of
the rezoning ordinance. The zoning map will need to be changed to reflect this.
RECOMMENDATION
City staff recommends adopting both the Resolution approving the revised plat for
Rutherford Station and the Resolution approving the revised Development Agreement
for Phase I, with the following conditions:
1. The final plat for Phase 1 is not formally approved and will not be released for filing
with Washington County until the revised Development Agreement between the
developer and the City is fully executed by both parties.
2. Revised civil engineering plans must be found satisfactory by the City Engineer
prior to commencement of any site work.

3. Phase 1 construction shall include all of the Marylane Avenue street improvements,
including any utilities within the right-of-way.
4. Outlot B in Phase 3 needs to be deleted and instead the property is to be
encumbered by a utility easement to the City for storm sewer purposes.
5. Any conditions of the Brown’s Creek Watershed District grading permit that the
City Engineer finds necessary shall be included in the final construction documents.
6. The developer will be responsible for paying $2,500 per lot to the City for park and
trail dedication fees. These fees may be reduced by crediting trail construction costs
as outlined in the Development Agreement for this project. All park and trail fees
due the City for each phase of development shall be paid (or credited toward
approved construction costs) by the developer prior to release of the phase’s final
plat from the City for recording with Washington County.
7. All electrical and communications utility lines shall be buried.
8. For this phase, the developer will be responsible for paying a Trout Stream
Mitigation Fee (aka AUAR fee) of $27,523.00 (4.85 acres at $5,675 per acre); a
Transportation Adequacy Fee of $37,303.52 (4.85 acres at $7,794.54 per acre); and the
trunk sewer and water fees of $49,390.46 (4.85 acres at $10,183.60 per acre). The
Transportation Adequacy/Mitigation fee may be reduced by crediting Marylane
Avenue improvement construction costs as detailed in the Development Agreement
for this project. All of the fees due for the specific phase shall be paid by the
developer prior to release of that phase’s final plat from the City for recording with
Washington County.
9. Home Owners’ Association documents, including stormwater facilities maintenance
and trail maintenance, must be submitted to the City and found acceptable to the
City Attorney and City Engineer prior to release of the Phase 1 final plat for filing
with Washington County. If the submitted Home Owners’ Association documents
are not consistent with the approval conditions for the preliminary plat, final plat,
and Development Agreement, then the City Council will need to review them and
approve them prior to release of the final plat for filing with the County. The
approved Home Owners’ Association documents must be filed at the county
together with final plat.
10. The developer shall submit right-of-way permit application(s) to Washington
County for any work within County right-of-ways, including connection(s) to
County trails.

Evening DRC Member!
For the past some years, the DRC has stood for Downtown Revitalization Committee, but after this
past Monday morning, we can add to that acronym! For those of you who do not know, The DRC
organized a sidewalk POWERWASH cleaning this past Monday Morning for downtown
Stillwater. With the TREMENDOUS help from numerous individuals, business & City Staff, I am
compelled to say along with the acronym definition for DRC as Downtown Revitalization Committee,
we can include DOWNTOWN REALLY CARES! The passion pouring out of all entities included was
exhilarating!
With much pride, i am happy to announce the DRC was able to get the vast majority of the sidewalks
completely clean of dirt, grim & black spots (YES!) from Nelson Street to Just past Commercial
Street! There are a few holes we missed, but we’ll be back at it tomorrow morning at 6am finishing
up! Meet up at Candyland, see you there!
For all of those who made this possible & hopefully an annual event, a HUGE heartfelt thank you!
Shout out to all of those who dedicated their time and effort to come downtown and volunteer, huge
THANKS goes out to:
Dave Junker (City Council)
Jim Herbert (MidCountry Mortgage)
Ryan Lettner (QuickFire Pizza)

have the passion to add value to our small gem, Stillwater Main Street! (Which is already really, really
Awesome!)

Washers! Yes, heated! its the ticket to keeping the sidewalks clean! for equipment dedication,
THANKS goes out to:
Andy Malon with Stillwater Boat club and rentals!
Sam & Jose(Val) Leon for dedicating not only equipment, but also two dedicated volunteers to help!

A special Thanks & Shout out to Mike Lynskey! Lynskey immediately noticed the hard work put forth
& picked up the check for breakfast at the Main Cafe! The boys were hungry! to say the least! So
thank you!
Last thanks goes to Tim Moore & the City of Stillwater for helping out! Not too sure who sent the
Street Sweeper down (Off Schedule) but that was fantastic!
