APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Possible approval of September 14, 2015 meeting minutes
Motion by Commissioner Mino, seconded by Commissioner Krakowski, to approve the minutes of the September
14, 2015 meeting. All in favor, 5-0.
OPEN FORUM
There were no public comments.
CONSENT AGENDA
Case No. 2015-44 Design Permit for facade change and signage to be located at 120 Main Street South.
Mike Lynskey, owner and John Daly, applicant.
Case No. 2015-47 Design Permit for certain facade improvements to be located at 126 Main Street North.
Tim Michel, owner.
City Planner Wittman requested that Case No. 2015-47 be removed from the Consent Agenda to be
considered separately for discussion.
Motion by Commissioner Mino, seconded by Commissioner Welty, to adopt the Consent Agenda as amended.
All in favor, 5-0.
Case No. 2015-47, Design Permit for certain facade improvements to be located at 126 Main Street North. Tim
Michel, owner.
City Planner Wittman summarized that the applicant is requesting approval of a new storefront which would
involve the replacement of two approximately 6' side storefront windows on Main Street with four
approximately 3' wide windows. Additionally, the southern facade window would be replaced with two
windows of the same size as those on Main Street. Above the storefront windows, the property owner proposes
a series of five sets of three -over -three clear windows with internal muntins. They will be separated from five
dark bronze tinted transom windows by an infill aluminum panel. Below the storefront windows, the property
owner is proposing to cover the faux brick with a dark bronze anodized aluminum v-groove, vertical panel.
As the dark bronze panels are not a traditional storefront element, the property owner has indicated two other
Heritage Preservation Commission Meeting October 5, 2015
options would be to paint the faux brick or install painted tongue and groove wood. However, the preference
is to install the aluminum. Staff finds that the transom windows with cladding and replacement of storefront
panels are consistent with guidelines; however, internal muntins and dark bronze v-groove panel for the
kickplate are found to be inconsistent with the design guidelines. Staff recommends approval of windows as
proposed, eliminating the muntins.
Chairman Larson commented that a wood composite such as Azek would be preferable to aluminum and may
be more consistent with the guidelines. He asked about the glass to be used for the transoms.
Tim Michel, owner, replied the transoms will have a bronze tint to abate some of the heat. He would support
staff's suggestion to remove the muntins.
Commissioner Welty suggested using an awning to abate the sunlight rather than a different type of glass.
Chairman Larson expressed concern about the two tone glass and said he would prefer all windows be clear
glass to be more consistent with the guidelines.
Motion by Commissioner Welty, seconded by Commissioner Branjord, to approve Case No. 2015-47, Design
Permit for certain facade improvements to be located at 126 Main Street North, with the following conditions.
1. 1.The facade renovations are limited to the furthest north unit only.
2. Clear glass, with no muntins, shall be used for all new widnows.
3. Wood or wood composite shall be utilized for the kickplate and sign band area. Kickplate shall contain a
wood banding on all sides of the kickplate.
4. All major revisions to the approved plan shall be reviewed by the HPC. All in favor, 5-0.
PUBLIC HEARINGS
Case No. 2015-45 Demolition Permit for the demolition and reconstruction of front facing roof for 1002 Fifth
Street South. Denise Jones, owner.
City Planner Wittman explained the request. The applicant proposes to modify the existing 1877 constructed
1.5-story home into a full two-story residence. To achieve this, the applicant proposes removing the existing
approximately 12/5 pitched roof and replacing it with an approximately 12/10 pitched roof. A new two-story
addition will be added onto the rear of the home. The main level of the home will encompass a new side entry
door, a stairway to the second -story addition, a pantry, powder room, and eat -in kitchen area. The second -
story addition will encompass a laundry room, master bedroom and master bath while preserving two
bedrooms and a bathroom. Staff finds that the property is an historic resource but no feasible alternative to
the proposed demolition exists. Staff recommends approval of the demolition permit for the demolition and
reconstruction of the roof with conditions.
Denise Jones, owner, explained her plans for renovation. There are seepage and ice dam problems on the
existing west elevation which she hopes to correct with the renovation.
Chairman Larson opened the public hearing. There were no public comments. The public hearing was closed.
Chairman Larson asked for clarification about windows proposed for the north and south elevation, and siding
proposed. Beth, Anderson Building and Remodeling, replied that L-P composite is planned for the front and
vinyl for the sides and back.
Page 2 of 4
Heritage Preservation Commission Meeting October 5, 2015
Chairman Larson expressed concern that changing from L-P siding to vinyl siding is inconsistent with the
four-sided design required in the Neighborhood Conservation District (NCD). He acknowledged that full
demolitions must follow the design guidelines, but this being a partial demolition, it is a bit of a gray area.
Beth with Anderson Building and Remodeling, representing the property owner, stated they have the option
of leaving the roof pitch at 5/12 without Commission approval, but that would result in a far less aesthetically
pleasing look. They stated they want to move forward before cool weather and are open to recommendations.
City Planner Wittman reviewed the demolition ordinance, stating that no review would be triggered if the
applicant were just constructing the addition or maintaining the same roof pitch. She said this is a very unique
circumstance.
Commissioner Mino reminded the Commission that first it should be decided whether the home is an historic
resource. Commissioners agreed that it is.
Chairman Larson reiterated that the front facade looks good; the north elevation is the one that is most
inconsistent with design guidelines.
Commissioner Welty suggested that the Commission deny the demolition permit on the basis there is a
feasible alternative.
Motion by Commissioner Branjord, seconded by Commissioner Mino, to grant the demolition permit based on
the finding that the structure is an historic resource and that there is no feasible alternative to demolition, with the
following conditions.
1. Plans shall be substantially similar to those on file with Case No. 2015-45.
2. All major revisions to the approved plans shall be reviewed by the HPC. Motion passed, 4-1, with
Commissioner Welty voting nay.
The Commission noted that, because the design does not fit well within the NCD, the property owner is
encouraged to look at consistency of four-sided design of materials and window trim.
OLD BUSINESS
Case No. 2015-42 Design Review of a future home to be located at 911 Abbott Street, a vacant property located
in the Neighborhood Conservation District (NCD). Dale Tennison and Sandi Millar, owners and Steve West,
applicant.
City Planner Wittman reviewed the case. At the last HPC meeting, the HPC found that the submitted design
did not substantially conform to the NCD guidelines and tabled the application, directing the applicant to
submit a new design which minimizes the the garage -forward nature of the design and the garage size,
dominance and impact to the street. A new design has been submitted placing the garage in the back corner.
Staff recommends approval with conditions.
Motion by Commissioner Branjord, seconded by Commissioner Mino to approve Case No. 2015-42, Design
Permit for a future home to be located at 911 Abbott Street, with the following conditions.
1. Plans shall be consistent with those submitted to the Community Development Department and reviewed
by the HPC on October 5, 2015.
2. 18 square feet of other impervious surface area shall be removed from the plans.
3. A building permit shall be obtained prior to the construction of the home.
4. A grading permit, with plans showing the replacement of the significant ash tree with at least one 2"
diameter deciduous tree, shall be obtained prior to the construction of the home.

Heritage Preservation Commission Meeting October 5, 2015
5. Exterior lighting shall be submitted for approval prior to the issuance of a building permit.
6. All minor modifications to the plans shall be approved in advance by the City Planner. All major
modifications shall be approved in advance by the HPC. All in favor, 5-0.
OTHER ITEMS OF DISCUSSION
Review of Case No. 2015-23 Cultural Landscape Field Guide
City Planner Wittman explained that as part of the mitigation for the St. Croix River Crossing, MnDOT was
charged with creating a field guide to the area. MnDOT has revised this guide based on comments from the
HPC. She provided the revised guide for review. MnDOT is asking for any final revisions needed. There were
no comments from the Commission.
Council Representative Menikheim emphasized the importance of outreach and community education efforts.
He explained the Medallion program and noted that the Chamber returned the $5,000 grant money to the
Stillwater Area Foundation. He would like to know if there is a way to re -grant that money to the City.
City Planner Wittman said she has considered the Stillwater Area Foundation as a possible source for grant
money for downtown projects. She will speak with City Administrator McCarty about this possibility.
Staff Updates - Statewide Preservation Conference Update
City Planner Wittman and Council Representative Menikheim gave their impressions on attending this
conference. City Planner Wittman mentioned that she has been considering creating postcards to send to
homeowners as an acknowledgement of thanks from the HPC for doing small historic preservation projects
such as painting their home or replacing vinyl siding with wood.
ADJOURNMENT
Motion by Commissioner Branjord, seconded by Chairman Larson, to adjourn. All in favor, 5-0. The meeting
was adjourned at 8:40 p.m.

HERITAGE PRESERVATION COMMISSION
MEETING DATE: November 2, 2015
CASE NO.: 2015-48
APPLICANT: Frank Fabio, property and business owner
REQUEST: Consideration of approval of a Design Permit for a stationary food trailer
to be located at 225 Main Street North
ZONING: Central Business District COMP PLAN DISTRICT: DMU - Downtown Mixed Use
PREPARED BY: Abbi Jo Wittman, City Planner
REQUEST
The applicant is requesting
approval of a Design Permit
for a stationary food vendor
trailer to be located at 22 Main
Street North. The facility
proposed is a red utility trailer
that has been retrofitted for
the purposes of the lawful
preparation of products to be
consumed. It was formerly
used to produce and sell
smoothies.
The Planning Commission
granted conditional approval
of the trailer for use as a drive -
through coffee business in late
2013. The property owner had
not obtained this facility prior
to the approval by the
Commission.
BACKGROUND
IL
1
As this was the first seasonal food vending license granted for a permanent facility, the City
Council directed staff to work with the Heritage Preservation and Planning Commissions on an
ordinance amendment that would require a Design Permit for vendors proposed to remain on
their permitted site for greater than 20 hours. In the spring of 2014 the HPC developed the
standards set forth in the following section. These were codified in July of last year.
ANALYSIS
Guideline
Staff Analysis
The food vending cart or trailer shall
generally follow the adopted Commercial
While this facility is not a white utility trailer, it is
red. The business owner is not proposing any
exterior modifications aside from the hanging of
menu boards on the sides.
Generally following the guidelines, the color

Historic District Design Manual and not be
generic in design.
• White utility trailers are not
permitted without significant
exterior design improvements.
The exterior of the food vending cart or
trailer shall not contain neon
colored/fluorescent paint.
No neon paint is proposed.
The food vending cart or trailer shall not
contain neon lighting, display any moving
parts, be illuminated with any flashing or
intermittent lights, nor may it incorporate
any animation. No device may be
illuminated to obscure or mimic an official
traffic sign or signal. This includes indoor
lighting which is visible from public streets.
No exterior lighting is proposed. The applicant
has not indicated there will be lighting associated
with the outside of the vending unit.
The food vending cart or trailer shall not use
outside sound amplification, televisions or
other similar visual displays, nor may it use
This will be a condition of approval.
noisemakers such as bells, horns or whistles.
FINDINGS
Staff finds the utility trailer to be consistent with the
guidelines. However, although the guidelines indicate white
utility trailers are not permitted, this is a solid -colored utility
trailer. As the facility is located in a district where any
permanent structure is reviewed and held to a higher
standard of design than the rest of the City, this trailer could
detract from the character of the downtown district.
Additionally, as the trailer is proposed to be located onsite
permanently, staff has determined the guidelines for
requirement of significant exterior design improvements
should be applied to this trailer.
ALTERNATIVES AND RECOMMENDATION
225 Main Street North
HPC 2015-48 (11/2/2015)
Page 2 of 3
The Commission has the following options:
1) Approved the design permit with the following conditions:
a) As indicated in the Planning Commission approval, a sign plan shall be reviewed and
approved by City staff prior to the issuance of the permit.
b) All major revisions to the approved plan shall be reviewed by the Heritage Preservation
Commission.
2) Deny the request based on the fact findings cannot be made that any of the proposed
improvements conform to the guidelines for the Downtown Design Review District.
3) Continue the review until the December, 2015 meeting, requesting additional information
from the business owner.
Staff recommends the Commission discuss alternatives for exterior design improvements with
the property owner and continue consideration of approval of the Design Permit until such time
as exterior improvements have been developed and submitted for the Commission's
consideration.

Consideration of approval of a Design Permit of a wall sign to be located
126 Main Street North
ZONING: Central Business District COMP PLAN DISTRICT: DMU - Downtown Mixed Use
PREPARED BY: Abbi Jo Wittman, City Planner
.1111117111 Mar
REQUEST
The applicant is requesting approval of a Design Permit to install a new wall sign on the
structure located at 126 Main Street North. The 15 square foot matte black, lightweight
aluminum sign is proposed to run the length of the unit and read 'Modern Roots' with 'Natural
Soaps & Body Care' underneath it in cream vinyl lettering. The sign is proposed to be located
in the sign band area, consistent with other commercial spaces in this building.
APPLICABLE REGULATIONS AND GUIDELINES
Wall mounted signs are permitted by the sign ordinance at a ratio of one square foot per one
linear foot of business unit frontage.
Municipal Code Section 31-209, Design permit states:
• The Standards for Review , Sec. 31-509(f) indicates the HPC shall utilize the following
standards:
o Outdoor advertising: The number, location, color, size, height, lighting and
landscaping of outdoor advertising signs and structures in relation to the creation of
traffic hazards and the appearance and harmony with adjacent development.
o Special design guidelines for areas or districts of the city officially adopted by the city
council.
The Downtown Design Manual indicates the following (abbreviated) guidelines:
■ Only one sign that contains the business name or graphic logo ... window sign may be used
in addition to other sign types.
■ Signage should be located in such a way as to not obscure any architectural features.
■ Use painted wood where practicable.
■ Choose tones with sufficient contrast to be clearly legible: dark on light or light on dark.
■ The storefront sign should be used to display the primarily name of the business only. Use
only one line of lettering if possible, leaving out secondary information.
ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS
With the exception of the secondary information, the application demonstrates the appearance
of the sign will be consistent with the Downtown Design Review Manual guidelines and in
harmony with the Stillwater Commercial Historic District. However, it has been a practice of
the Commission to approve secondary information on business walls signs.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of HPC Case No. 2015-49 with the following conditions:
1. The sign shall obtain a sign permit prior to the installation.
2. The background of the sign shall be matte black.
3. Disturbance to the exterior wall face shall be done in a fashion as to prevent excess damage
and future water intrusion. Utilization of existing openings shall be encourage. Patching of
holes shall be done in a fashion as to prevent future water intrusion.
4. All major revisions to the approved plan shall be reviewed by the Heritage Preservation
Commission.

HERITAGE PRESERVATION COMMISSION
MEETING DATE: November 2, 2015 CASE NO.: 2015-50
APPLICANT: Matt Frisbie, Ayres Associates, representing Grady Erickson, applicant
REQUEST: Consideration of a modification to Case 2014-42 for the exterior facade
renovation of, and a multi -tenant sign plan for, the structure located at 275 3rd
Street South
ZONING: CBD-Central Business COMP PLAN DISTRICT: DMU-Downtown Mixed Use
PREPARED BY: Abbi Jo Wittman, City Planner
BACKGROUND
In December 2014, the HPC gave approval
of a design permit for exterior facade
renovations for the structure located at 275
3rd Street South. The original approval
called for shiplap cedar siding, hardi-panel
vertical siding and anodized aluminum
awnings on all four sides.
REQUEST
The applicant is proposing changes to the
approved Design Permit and staff has determined some changes to be substantial.
the property owner is proposing the use of fiber cement siding with a wood grain appearance
instead of the originally permitted cedar shiplap, as well as smaller than originally approved
fiber cement panels. Although there are some other facade changes which include the removal
of awnings, window bump -outs at the front of the building and a redesigned entryway, these
were not determined by staff to be substantial changes as the structure will have a similar
appearance as the originally -approved plan.
Specifically,
Additionally, the property owner is proposing to install new, 32 square foot tenant signage in
the front of the building that will have a similar look and feel as the newly redesigned structure.
This will be the only signage permitted at this office building.
APPLICABLE REGULATIONS AND GUIDELINES
Municipal Code Section 31-209, Design permit states:
• The Standards for Review , Sec. 31-509(f) indicates the HPC shall utilize the following
standards:
o Architectural character:
• The suitability of the building for the intended purpose.
• The consistency of the applications design with approved design guidelines.
• The compatibility of the character of the design with adjacent development.
o Outdoor advertising: The number, location, color, size, height, lighting and landscaping of
outdoor advertising signs and structures in relation to the creation of traffic hazards and
the appearance and harmony with adjacent development.
o Historical structures, vistas, sites and the impact of development on these resources.
o Special design guidelines for areas or districts of the city officially adopted by the city council.
The Downtown Design Review manual indicates the following guidelines in relationship to
materials:
Materials
• An infill building and facade should be
composed of materials similar to original
adjacent facades (example: local brick or stone).
• New buildings should not stand out against
the others but be compatible with the general
area.
• The use of exposed or painted concrete
masonry units is not acceptable.
• The use of materials that attempt to mimic
traditional materials is unacceptable. An
example would be fiberglass panels that are
molded to look like real brick, or vinyl molded
to look like wood horizontal lap siding.
This office building, constructed in the mid-
80s, was built prior to the City's development
of the Downtown Design Review District.
Consequently, the vinyl -siding and painted
concrete blocks are present. While the painted
concrete blocks are proposed to continue to
exist, the vinyl is proposed to be removed.
In the Commissions previous approval a
fiber -cement composite was proposed. These
large panels were complimentary to the
primary material of cedar shiplap. The new
proposal includes fiber cement siding that has
a wood -grain look to it.
The Downtown Design Manual indicates the following (abbreviated) guidelines:
• Only one sign that contains the business name or graphic logo.
• Signage should be located in such a way as to not obscure any architectural features.
• Use painted wood where practicable.
• Choose tones with sufficient contrast to be clearly legible: dark on light or light on dark.
ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS
The new design of the structure is similar to the previously approved Case No. 2014-42, which
the Commission found to be consistent with the District Guidelines. However, with that design
a significant amount of the materials proposed were consistent with the District guidelines of
using traditional materials though some non-traditional materials were proposed. As the
property owner is proposing a significant renovation to this non -historic structure, which is not
located in the historic district, and the materials will become more conforming with the
guidelines as well as the look and feel of the community, staff finds the application to be
sufficiently consistent with the guidelines.
275 3rd Street South
Case No. 2015-50 (HPC: 11/2/15)
Page 2 of 3
ALTERNATIVES AND RECOMMENDATION
The HPC has several alternatives related to these request:
A. Approve. If the proposed design review request is found acceptable to the HPC, the
HPC should move to approve Case 2015-50. Staff recommends the following conditions
of approval:
1. All exterior signage, with the exception of the building address sign, shall receive a
sign permit prior to the installation.
2. The sign shall be reduced in height by 6" to conform with the zoning regulations.
3. All minor modifications to the plans shall be approved in advance by the City
Planner. All major modifications shall be approved in advance by the HPC.
Determination of the distinction between "major" and "minor" is defined in the
Zoning Ordinance.
B. Approve in part.
C. Deny. If the HPC finds that the proposal is not consistent with the approved Downtown
Design Review District guidelines, then the Commission could deny the request. With a
denial, the basis of the action is required to be given. Furthermore, the denial would
prohibit the applicant from resubmittal of a substantially similar application within one
year.
D. Table. If the HPC needs additional information to make a decision, the requests could be
tabled until December, 2015 meeting.
Staff recommends approval of Case 2015-50 with the aforementioned conditions.

RoughSawn adds rustic sophistication to any contemporary project. Both products pair perfectly with glass, metal and
block panels, adding a touch of warmth to the coolness of these materials.
VintageWood and RoughSawn are as versatile as they are durable. Our Wood Series panels can install both vertically and
horizontally and can be used in interior and exterior settings. Hidden fasteners provide a clean and beautiful look.

Making modern passible with the power of fiber cement
The clean, modular look of Nichiha ArchitecturalBlock is a versatile choice for commercial and residential projects alike. Its cool
modern tones and subtle seams are the perfect partner for gleaming glass, stainless steel or even paired with the warmth of wood.
ArchitecturalBlock is a handsome, durable and cost-effective solution. The ease of installation and wide variety of corner options
make it as popular with contractors as it is with clients.
TuffBlock offers many of the same features as ArchitecturalBlock, but takes modern to the next level with its tough, textured finish.
TuffBlock remains true to its name with a strong construction that is backed by the power of fiber cement. This product means
business and is built to last. TuffBlock is perfect for use in heavy foot traffic areas as it remains looking pristine through whatever
pedestrians throw its way.

ASTM E 84 / UL 723 Standard test method for surface burning characteristics of building materials, sometimes
referred to as the Steiner Tunnel test.
Nichiha Brick, Stone & Block Fiber Cement Panels
Thickness: 18mm (nominal 3/4").
Width: 455mm (nominal 18").
Length: 610mm (nominal 2').
The panels were physically self-supporting and required no additional sample preparation. A total of 16 panels,
each measuring 18 inches in width and 2 feet in length were placed end -to -end on the ledges of the tunnel fur-
nace to mark up the 24 foot test sample. Testing was performed in accordance with ASTM.
Flame Spread Index
• The maximum distance the flame spreads along the length of the sample from the end of the igniting flame is
determined by observation.
• The Flame Spread Index (FSI) of the material is determined by rounding by Calculated Fame Spread (CFS) as
described in UL 723. The CFS is derived by calculating the area under the flame spread distance (ft.) versus
time (min.) curve, ignoring any flame front recession, and using one of the calculation methods as described
below.
• If the total area (At) is less than or equal than 97.5 min.-ft., the CFS shall be 0.515 times the total area.
(FSI=0.515 AT).
• If the total area (At) is greater than 97.5 min.-ft., the CFS is to be 4900 divided by 195 minutes the total
area. (FSI=4900/(195-At)).

Smoke Developed Index
• The Smoke Developed Index is determined by rounding the Calculated Smoke Developed (CSD) as described
in UL 723. The CSD is determined by the output of a photoelectric circuit operating across the furnace flue pipe.
A curve is developed by plotting values of light absorption (decreased in cell output) against time. The CSD is
derived by expressing the net area under the curve for this material as a percentage of the net area under the
curve for untreated red oak.
• The CSD is expressed as: CSD = (Am/Aros) x 100.
• Am: The area under the curve for the test material.
• Aros: The area under the curve for untreated red oak.

Other: 1/4" inch bead of hot melt caulk (identified as Type H-67564BB) provided as sealant between panels.
Base Wall: Standard gypsum base wall assembly, comprising of 2x4 stud at 16" spacing. One
layer of 5/8", Type X gypsum was attached to the interior side using 1-3/4" gypsum wallboard nails at 7" o.c. A
single layer of 5/8", Type X gypsum, 15 Ib. felt paper was attached to the exterior side.
Nichiha Panel: The panels were assembled to the base wall with fasteners and clips provided by Nichiha.
The test panel was secured to the test fixture in accordance with the requirements of ASTM. The test exposes a
wall assembly to a standard fire exposure controlled to achieve specified temperatures throughout a specified
time period. The fire exposure may be followed by a standard hose steam test, which subjects the specimen to
impact, erosion, and cooling effects of the water stream.
The wall was evaluated with the exterior (Nichiha face) exposure. The walls successfully endured a 60 minute
fire exposure without developing excessive unexposed surface temperatures or allowing flaming on the unex-
posed side of the assembly. The data is shown below. At the conclusion of the 60 minute fire exposure, the
maximum unexposed surface temperature was 163°F, and the maximum average surface temperature was
156°F. The wall met the requirements for a 1 hour fire resistance rating under load bearing conditions of 300 Ib./

Consideration of comments to St. Croix River Crossing MOA
modifications for the Stillwater Lift Bridge conversion
ZONING: Central Business District COMP PLAN DISTRICT: DMU - Downtown Mixed Use
PREPARED BY: Abbi Jo Wittman, City Planner
BACKGROUND
As part of the St. Croix River Crossing project, the Stillwater Lift Bridge Advisory Council
developed a Lift Bridge Management Plan for the future use of the historic bridge as a
pedestrian and bicycle pathway in 2019 and beyond. Included in the plan, which was
developed in 2009, certain improvements were proposed for the bridge. Since the development
of the plan, certain activities have occurred which necessitated the updating of the original plan.
MNDOT is asking for comment for the changes to the plans. A full version of the plans in
electronic format is available for viewing at City Hall.
REQUEST
While most of the plan changes focus on the Structural, Civil, Mechanical and Signing and
Striping Plans, changes to the Electrical Plans may be of interest to the HPC. In addition to
striking a provision for the relocation of conduit (as flooding would put the proposed conduit
location at risk), the light fixtures in the concourse, on the bridge and those proposed to be
installed overhead in the spans, are proposed to be LED. Currently recommended for the LED
bulbs in all bridge and concourse lighting would be 4000K bulbs which has become the industry
standard for the MNDOT and can be viewed on HWY 36, from HWY 5 to the St. Croix River.
ANALYSIS
As the bridge and concourse are partially located in the Downtown Design Review District,
adjacent to the Commercial Historic District and within the City's jurisdiction, the District
Guidelines should be reviewed. However, as the Commission is aware, the guidelines for
external lighting are limited. In recent discussions the Commission has struggled with the
concept of lighting downtown.
Staff has included the enclosed
Kelvin measurement chart for
guidance on review and
comment. As the types of
fixtures and location were
commented upon and agreed to
in 2009, any comment the HPC
should provide is whether or not
the Kelvin unit is appropriate
for the concourse and the bridge.
In discussions with Ken TailIon
with S.E.H., it has been
determined the balance with
lighting in an adjacent to historic

districts is often between ambiance and feel and safety and security. While historic lighting
hues would have been traditionally more yellow and orange, the newer LED bulbs generally
have a more (cooler) blue hue. However, newer bulbs are developed with a coating to help
produce a warmer tone; the warmer the bulb, however, the more washed out the area becomes,
leading to decreased visibility and an increase in the `graying' of everything, leading to a place
that has a feel of being less secure.
As the new bridge will be exclusively for pedestrian use, the safety and security (or sense of
safety and security) should be a priority for the City. As the industry standard is 4000 Kelvin, it
seems this lighting unit proposed for the new LED is consistent with what Stillwater will see for
all Xcel Energy poles as those lights, too, become replaced.
COMMISSION DISCUSSION AND ACTION
The Commission should discuss the proposed changes for determination of whether or not the
HPC would like to comment on the proposed changes. If no comments are desired, staff will
send a letter to that effect. However, if comments are desired, the Commission should direct
staff to draft a letter of comment to MNDOT and authorize Chairman Larson to sign it.

Subject: S.P. 8217-4654D TH 36 (Stillwater Lift Bridge [Bridge 4654] Conversion Project)
Updated Conversion Plan Review
Dear Ms. Beimers and Ms. Cook:
We have reviewed the above -referenced undertaking pursuant to our Federal Highway Administration
(FHWA)-delegated responsibilities for compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, as
amended (36 CFR 800), and as per the terms of the Programmatic Agreement (PA) between the FHWA and
the Minnesota State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) (June 2005), the project MOA (May 5, 2006) and the
Historic Bridge PA between the FHWA and SHPO (February 2008). The Section 106 review fulfills MnDOT's
responsibilities under the Minnesota Historic Sites Act (MS 138.665-.666), the Field Archaeology Act of
Minnesota (MS 138.40); and the Private Cemeteries Act (MS 307.08, Subd. 9 and 10). 5/15/06
The mitigation for the adverse effects to the Stillwater Lift Bridge caused by the new St. Croix River Crossing
undertaking consisted of the completion of the Stillwater Lift Bridge Management Plan (Management Plan,
March 2009); the completion of rehabilitation/conversion engineering plans to convert the historic Stillwater
Lift Bridge (Bridge) (2009 and current); and the construction project to implement the conversion (2019). Our
office, the Bridge Office, and the Metro District completed the Management Plan and engineering plans in
2009 after approximately two years of development in collaboration with the Stillwater Lift Bridge Advisory
Council (SLBAC), of which both your offices and the Stillwater Heritage Preservation Commission (HPC) were
members. The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) submitted a final copy of the completed
Management Plan and the engineering plan sets to your offices and the HPC in 2009, and received your
offices' concurrence that the proposed work meets the Secretary of the Interior's Standards and would have
no adverse effect to the bridge or other historic properties. MnDOT is currently constructing the new St. Croix
River Bridge, and upon the opening of the new bridge, work will commence on converting the Bridge to a
bicycle/pedestrian facility.
Since the completion of the Management Plan and engineering plans in 2009, some repairs have occurred
and some new items have been identified. In 2012, the Stillwater Lift Bridge Stabilization Project completed
some repairs identified in the 2009 plans. Also, regular maintenance and inspection of the bridge has resulted
in the completion of some repairs identified in 2009, and has identified new repair items.
The 2009 plans went through a 30, 60, 95 percent review by both of our offices, and our office found No
Adverse Effect and your offices' concurred. Any new repair items identified in regular inspections have been
added to the plans. Any items repaired in 2012 and in periodic maintenance efforts have been removed
from the plans. The net result is the updated plan set, enclosed here.
Structural Plans
Rivet/Bolt Connection Matrix (Sheet S5). The Rivet/Bolt Connection Matrix is retained from the 2009 plans with
no changes from the previous review. The matrix includes six categories of rivet usage. However, for the
conversion plans only the last or sixth category will be used. This is the category of "sidewalk cantilever
brackets" and provides the guidance for the brackets shown in Sheet 33 (see Sidewalk Ramps for Americans
with Disabilities Act Access below).
Repairs to Concourse and Spans 1 and 2 (Sheet S9) - See Civil/Grading Plans below.
Concrete Repairs to East Abutment (Sheet S18). Several small repairs to the concrete of the east abutment
are retained from the 2009 plans.
Historic Concrete Repairs (Sheet S19). This section originally referred to repairs on historic concrete that were
completed in 2012 and therefore removed from the current updated plans. This sheet now contains joint
repair only, despite the sheet name.
Steel Repairs on Truss Spans (Sheets S20-S30). The repairs to deteriorated areas of the steel trusses constitute
the largest remaining number of repairs to the bridge. The structural repair items that affect the steel fabric
are located in the truss bottom chords and in the truss end posts or end diagonals. The 2009 plans
documented lower chord repairs, but not end post repairs. The 2012 project repaired some of the lower
chord locations. The typical lower chord repair involves plating of the lower chord at a gusset plate location.
The typical end post repair involves plating the web of the end post member either on the interior or exterior.
New locations of deterioration were discovered by ultrasonic testing performed during the 2011, 2013, and
2014 inspections. Several emergency repairs were completed on the end posts in 2014 as a result of these
inspections. The maintenance of the bridge will be significantly different after the conversion project,
because all vehicular traffic will be removed and the bridge will be limited to pedestrian and bicycle traffic.
The deterioration to the lower chord and end post locations is attributed to the application of salt to the
roadway in winter and complicated by drainage and spray of saltwater. With the removal of vehicular traffic,
the use of winter road salt will be largely, if not entirely, eliminated and future steel repairs are expected to be
reduced.
The following is a summary presentation of the steel repair areas identified and repaired since 2009 and those
remaining to be repaired and included in the current updated plans.

Sidewalk Ramps for Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Access (Sheets S31-S35). Alterations to sidewalks
and sidewalk supporting members are retained from the 2009 plans and have not changed since the original
review. These alterations are required to provide ADA-required ramps at locations along the sidewalks on the
truss spans. In particular, note Sheet S33 (Section A -A) as the sidewalk bracket to be replicated with shop
riveting, corresponding to the Rivet/Bolt Matrix. These brackets will be replaced because of the change in
sidewalk elevation to create ADA ramp down to deck roadway elevation.
Traffic Gate Removal & Rub Rail Replacement (Sheet S36-S38). These items are retained from 2009 plans and
have not changed since the original review. Because the bridge will be taken out of vehicular service, the
traffic gate and platform will be removed and rub rail will be installed to match adjacent existing rub rail. A
new pedestrian crossing gate will be installed (see below).
Cable Addition to Railing (Sheets S39-S40). These items are retained from 2009 plans and have not changed
since the original review. For the updated conversion plans, however, engineers reviewed the cable
attachment details to reduce the need to drill new holes in historic fabric. As a result, Sheet S39 shows a one-
third reduction in drilled holes, from three to two at each angle connection point (see "intermediate tension
post" detail) compared to 2009 Sheet S37.
Sidewalk Bracket Repair (Sheets S41-S44). These items are retained from 2009 plans, although more extensive
repair and replacement of some sidewalk support brackets has been completed and removed from
conversion plans.
The following are all retained from 2009 Plans: Misc. Bridge Details (Sheets S45-S49), Operating Cable Guide
(Sheet S52), Junction Box (Sheet S53), Pedestrian Gate Support (Sheets S54-S56), Bridge Approach Panel
(Sheet S57), and Ornamental Railing Repair (Sheet S-58).
Civil/Grading Plans
This plan set is retained from 2009 plans and have not changed since the original review. The civil/grading
plan set (Sheets C1-C20) is focused on the replacement and reconstruction of the original paving plan of the
concrete surface and sidewalks of the historic concourse (up to Span 1) and approach roadways. Note that
the original ornamental concrete balustrade, which was repaired in the 2012 project, will be carefully
protected and preserved during this repaving project.
Mechanical Plans
The mechanical plan set (Sheets Ml-M8) is retained from 2009 plans. It includes the design and installation of
a pedestrian traffic gate that is modeled on the original traffic gate, no longer extant, as shown in original
plans and historic photographs.
Signing and Striping Plans
The signing and striping plan set (Sheets Tl-T19) is retained from 2009 plans.
Electrical Plans
The electrical plan set (Sheets El-E67) is retained from 2009 plans with the exceptions identified below.
Conduit Attached to South Truss, Span 3. The Management Plan recommended that the conduit along the
exterior of the span 3 south truss (installed in 1980 and updated in 2005) be relocated below the sidewalk as
much as possible (Section 6, page 73; and 2009 plans on Sheets El and E4). In recent investigations and
evaluations performed for the current update to the plans, project engineers determined that relocating the
conduit below the sidewalk would cause a safety and maintenance hazard because of periodic flooding,
causing the conduit to fill with water. The flooding issue was not raised during the preparation of the 2009
plans and the development of the Management Plan. Because of the potential problems resulting from
flooding, engineers have determined that the existing conduit will remain in place and not be altered.
References to relocating the conduit have been removed from the conversion plans.
Ornamental Lighting (Sheets El 9-E21). These items are retained from the 2009 plans with the exception of
upgrading the LED fixtures to current technology.
