Date: September 13, 2016
TO: Mayor and Council
FROM: Doug Brady, Recreation Center Manager
SUBJECT: HVAC System at St. Croix Valley Recreation Center
BACKGROUND:
In December 2015 Council accepted the Mighty Ducks Grant from the Minnesota Amateur Sports
Commission in the amount of $58,606 that could be used for new statewide public ice facilities and
for renovation of existing ice arenas, including priority given to indoor air quality improvements
and projects that eliminate R-22 or the purchase of ice resurfacer. The City’s anticipated use of the
grant funds were to replace our HVAC system (Item 2) Makeup Air Handlers to improve air quality
in our center. The current system is 18+years old and the average life cycle is approximately 15
years for this type of equipment. Funding would come from the Mighty Ducks Grant along with the
City’s share in capital outlay.
In July 2016 plans and specifications were prepared and project was bid in three parts with a bid
alternate (listed below) to allow the City to complete more work, if feasible, with the grant and
capital improvement monies for the project.
Remove and Dispose of all used equipment as requested. Furnish, install two (2) desiccant
dehumidifier.
Remove and Dispose of all used equipment as requested. Furnish, install three (3) make-up
air units.
Remove and Dispose of all used equipment as requested. Furnish, install three (3) roof units.
Bid Alternate: Remove and Dispose of all used equipment as requested. Furnish, install two
(2) desiccant dehumidifier, and three (3) make-up air units, and install three (3) roof units,
if purchased and installed at the same time.
Bids from four vendors were received in August (see attached bid abstract).
RECOMMENDATION:
After review of bid costs and references, staff recommends that Council reject all bids for Items 1, 3
and the Alternate items and award the contract for Item 2 to Corvel Group the lowest responsible
bidder as they are the most familiar with understanding the HVAC needs of the recreation center
for their bid amount of $85,260.00.
ACTION REQUIRED:
If Council concurs with the staff recommendation, they should pass a motion to adopt the two
separate resolutions entitled “Resolution rejecting certain bid items on all bids for the HVAC System
at the St. Croix Recreation Center” and “Resolution accepting bid Item No. 2 on all bids for
the HVAC System at the St. Croix Recreation Center and Awarding Contract”.
RESOLUTION REJECTING CERTAIN BID ITEMS ON ALL BIDS FOR
THE HVAC SYSTEM AT THE ST. CROIX RECREATION CENTER
WHEREAS, In December 2015 Council accepted the Mighty Ducks Grant from the Minnesota
Amateur Sports Commission in the amount of $58,606 that could be used for new statewide public
ice facilities and for renovation of existing ice arenas; and
WHEREAS, In July 2016 plans and specifications were prepared and project was bid in three parts
with a bid alternate to allow the City to complete more work, if feasible, with the grant and capital
improvement monies for a budget; and
WHEREAS, bids submitted for Items 1, 3, and Bid Alternate were higher that the budget and grant
amounts allowed for the project.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Stillwater City Council that Bid Items 1, 3, and Bid
Alternate on all HVAC bids submitted are hereby rejected

OTHER BUSINESS
Presentation and review of design development proposals for Police Department Remodel and City
Hall Improvements - Wold Architects and Engineers
Community Development Director Turnblad led a review of the planned Police Department
remodel and City Hall improvements. He informed the Council that the estimated project costs
are $2.3 million for Phases I and II. Staff recommended adding the following deferred items back
into the project because they are considered critical to operations: an awning to City Hall; remodel
City Hall service counter on main level; re-cable City Hall; exterior surveillance cameras; panic
buttons at Council dais and service counters; and card access control to City Hall internal doors.
These critical items would add $215,100 to the project cost. This amount may be covered by a
premium the City received due to a good bond sales environment.
Joel Dunning, Wold Architects and Engineers, explained the floor plans, project budget, and
deferred items.
Mark Hovelson, Wenck, pointed out that the project could be bid later this week if the Council
approves, and construction could begin in mid-October and take 8 1/2 months for the two phases.
Finance Director Harrison reported that when the City issued bonds in early 2016, the bond market
was doing very well, so the City was issued a premium; meaning it has more money than expected.
Rather than reducing the amount of the bonds, staff opted to keep that premium and use it for this
project.
City Administrator McCarty suggested that the remainder of the deferred work items could be
included in the Capital Improvement Plan for 2018.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
A public hearing to consider whether the Special Use Permit (SUP/04-02) for the operation of an
Auto Repair Facility located at 804 Laurel Street West, as well as a Special Use Permit for the
operation of a paint booth issued on September 6, 1997 be revoked
Community Development Director Turnblad explained that Stillwater Collision has been given
notice that the Council will consider revocation of the Special Use Permits issued for their
business. The reason for the consideration is numerous complaints about the business violating
terms of the two Special Use Permits. He reviewed the permits issued in 1977 for a spray booth
and storage building, and in 2004 for auto repair use next to a residential zone district.
City Attorney Magnuson informed the Council that the first filling station was built there in the
1940s when Laurel Street was Highway 96. In the middle 1950s, Highway 96 was rerouted, so
traffic lessened. A brick building was added to do repairs. The business became what neighbors
felt was a nuisance, so in 1999, City staff determined the only way to make it legitimate would be
to enact an ordinance permitting auto uses next to residential districts. The City gave the owners
six months to apply for a Special Use Permit. The owners failed to apply for a permit, so the City
brought a lawsuit claiming the business was existing without a SUP and was a nuisance in the
City Council Meeting September 20, 2016
Page 4 of 10
neighborhood. A mediation settlement was reached requiring the business to apply for a SUP with
a number of conditions. The suit was settled in 2002, but the SUP was not issued until 2004.
Tony Grove, owner of Stillwater Collision, reported that he took over the business in 2004 and
was unaware of the conditions of the 2004 SUP, which were the responsibility of his business
partner at the time.
Community Development Director Turnblad explained the seven conditions in the 2004 SUP.
Mayor Kozlowski opened the public hearing
Jeff Anderson, 119 West Chestnut Street, spoke in support of Mr. Grove and his reputation in the
community. He expressed confidence that Mr. Grove can bring the business into compliance with
the conditions of the SUP.
Cheryl Kane, 618 North Owens Street, stated that Mr. Grove is a good person, but since 2004 she
has lived with paint fumes coming into her windows every time they are open. She does not want
this to continue.
Amelia Smith, told the Council that the paint fumes prevent her from playing in her yard, and that
during the summer, the fumes drove her and her babysitter inside four to 10 times. She stated the
paint fumes give her dad headaches, hurt his stomach and make him cough.
Ryan Smith, 815 Maple Street, stated that Stillwater Collision creates a hazardous environment
for the neighbors, that passersby have to hold their breath to pass the business and it is unsafe for
kids to be exposed to the air in the street. He could actually see the fume cloud covering his house,
his neighbor’s house, and the street in front. He feels that the paint booth has become a health
hazard and nuisance and should not be allowed in a residential neighborhood anymore.
Maria Bjorkman, 814 Maple Street West, stated that she would hate to see a small business be
forced to close, but her family’s health is a major issue.
Ruth Rustad, 11960 Partridge Road Court North, told the Council that Stillwater Collision is a
trusted business in the community, which has been operating for almost 20 years without
problems with the SUP. She would like the Council to work with Mr. Grove to bring the business
into compliance rather than revoke the permit.
Allan Lavalier, 707 West Maple Street, agreed that revoking the permit may not be the best action.
He urged the Council to work with the business owner, and to consider the larger issue of air
quality in Stillwater.
Jane Taves, 916 Laurel Street West, remarked that Stillwater Collision is an asset to the
community. She would like the neighbors to find a way to solve the problem rather than just
shutting the business down.
Ray Davis, 912 Laurel Street West, stated that Mr. Smith and Mr. Grove both are of good
character. He does not doubt that there is a paint smell somewhere, but he has not smelled it. He
feels that revocation should not take place, but the issue deserves further study.
Dennis Doerr, 901 Maple Street and property owner at 822 Laurel Street, stated that he has never
smelled paint at his properties, but he does not doubt what Mr. Smith says. He encouraged the
Council to seek expertise on the issue.
Rob Roffers, 2667 Interlachen Court, stated that Mr. Grove is honest and upstanding in his
experience as a customer. He feels some of the issues may be embellished in terms of the amount
City Council Meeting September 20, 2016
Page 5 of 10
of fumes and spray. A scientific study would be needed to measure the fumes and toxins that are
actually present.
OJ Rustad, 11960 Partridge Road Court North, stated that he has multiple allergies and slight
asthma and has never noticed a problem while there.
Drew Anderson, 119 West Chestnut Street, told the Council that Mr. Grove is a staple in the
community.
Priscilla Shannon, 815 Maple Street West, stated that she has called the City on multiple occasions
when her entire backyard has been filled with paint fumes, making it unsafe for her family to be
outside. She has never had a problem with the auto body store, but has a problem with the paint
shop. Last Friday she saw the filter door was open and the filter was lying on the ground, and
today it is propped up with a stick.
Greg Schmidt, attorney for Stillwater Collision and Tony Grove, reminded the Council that no
conditions were attached to the 1977 SUP for the paint booth. He stated the business has a letter
from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency describing the business as being legally in
compliance with all air quality standards. Nonetheless, Mr. Grove is looking at installing a venting
system that, instead of emitting to the back of the building, will emit to the top of the building and
more distantly. A fence permit has been issued and the contractor is ready to install the fence. He
requested that the Council table the issue for further updates as the conditions are satisfied.
Vicky Jensen, 1132 Parkwood Lane, who assists Mr. Grove with the management of the business,
stated that since purchasing it in 2004, Mr. Grove has invested over $200,000 into the facility. He
was unaware of the SUP because he had a partner who handled the office matters. In September
2015, Ms. Jensen met with City Planner Wittman on site to review the SUP and items that needed
to be addressed. The next day, Ms. Jensen stated she had the property re-staked, scheduled fence
quotes, and subsequently met with the MPCA and other agencies that found the paint booth is in
compliance. They offered suggestions on how to cool off the air compressor and discussed re-
venting the paint booth. She will be applying for a building permit for the re-venting project
tomorrow. Around November 2015, the City put curb cuts in front of the building and she was
prevented from installing a fence due to weather. There were a number of delays but the fence is
scheduled to be installed September 22. She provided the signed contract for the new venting
system.
Levi Jensen, 2525 Cornelia Trail, Woodbury, stated that he is a biochemist and engineer at a
medical device company. He explained that in chemistry, the word volatile means easily
evaporates. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are everywhere; any solid or liquid that gives
off an aroma is a VOC. He presented information from the Environmental Protection Agency
regarding VOCs. He provided information on the type of paint that Mr. Grove uses, which he
stated is regulated and in compliance. The filter system is a 98% efficient system involving three
separate filters (two are required). He added that even though a cloud of smoke is visible, it does
not mean that there are VOCs. Concentration and exposure time are major factors in whether there
is a health issue. The EPA has determined there is not enough information on organics to tell
whether it will cause cancer or dizziness.
Tony Grove, 1132 Parkwood Lane, business owner, pointed out that the previous owners had left
a lot of problems and that he is a first time business owner. He stated the ties to the back gate have
been cut numerous times and the board has been kicked over with the filter lying on the ground.
City Council Meeting September 20, 2016
Page 6 of 10
He is planning to have a blaster installed on top of the building which will vent the paint straight
up into the atmosphere rather than out the back.
Councilmember Junker asked Mr. Grove to confirm that he did not know anything about the seven
conditions of the 2004 SUP. Mr. Grove stated that he did not know about the conditions and he
never thought that anybody was complaining because he got so many compliments about cleaning
up the site. He added that the previous partnership left him $70,000 in debt in taxes.
Councilmember Menikheim questioned how the issue has gone on for 10-12 years. He told Mr.
Grove he is responsible and accountable for what has been going on and the issue needs to be
resolved.
Councilmember Weidner questioned why Mr. Grove had let so much time pass, letting it reach
the point of possible revocation, before attempting to remedy the problem. He acknowledged that
Mr. Grove does great work but his inaction is irresponsible and not neighborly.
Councilmember Polehna commented that he does not want to shut down the business, but he
learned from the manager of Pollution Control that the record keeping was lacking, there were no
filters inside the buildings and there were violations in the labeling of chemicals. The technology
of the spray booth is old technology that should be updated. He also noted complaints about
parking cars in the lot across the street. He would like the site to be cleaned up.
Mayor Kozlowski closed the public hearing.
Motion by Councilmember Junker, seconded by Councilmember Weidner, to require that all seven
conditions of the May 10, 2004 SUP be brought into compliance by October 3, 2016.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Possible approval of findings of fact relating to Cecilia Loome and Jonathan Moler of the Old Swedish
Church, for consideration of an appeal to the Planning Commission’s decision regarding a request for
consideration of a Special Use Permit for a Type III Home Occupation, and associated variances, for
the structure located at 320 4th Street South in the RB – Two Family Residential District. PID:
28.030.20.13.0116. Case No. 2016-27
Community Development Director Turnblad reminded the Council that at the last meeting, they
conceptually denied the appeal by a straw vote. The proposed resolution memorializes the
findings.
Mayor Kozlowski suggested if the findings of fact are adopted without prejudice, that would allow
the applicants to work with staff to devise a new plan that would not require the variance. He
would like to allow them the opportunity to find another, substantially different way to use this
unique building.
City Attorney Magnuson stated that it would have to be a substantiall y new and different plan.

NEW BUSINESS
Possible adoption of resolutions declaring costs to be assessed and ordering preparation of assessment
roll and calling for hearing for 2016 Street Improvement Project (Project 2016-02).
Public Works Director Sanders stated that the contractor is progressing on the 2016 Street
Improvement Project. The estimated total cost of the City's improvements is lower than the
feasibility study, which will result in lower assessed cost than proposed. Staff recommends that
the Council declare costs, authorize preparation of the assessment rolls, and call for a hearing
October 18, 2016.

Request for a demolition permit for 209 Wilkins Street East
Community Development Director Turnblad reviewed the request. The applicant is requesting
approval of the demolition of the residential structure located at 209 Wilkins Street East. The
request comes before the City after City staff initiated a stop-work order on the property. Though
a building permit was issued for a single-story bedroom addition and interior remodel, the
property owner’s construction contractor worked outside the scope of the approved building
permit plans. Essentially, he demolished the home instead of building according to the issued
permit. Therefore, the request is to approve the demolition permit after-the-fact. The HPC has
determined this structure was a Historic Resource with feasible alternatives to demolition. Staff
City Council Meeting September 20, 2016
Page 8 of 10
recommends the Council conceptually deny the demolition permit. Staff would bring back a
resolution formalizing the denial in late October. This action leaves the property owner with two
alternatives: 1) Construct according to the originally approved building permit and plans, which
required no setback variance; or 2) Submit a complete Neighborhood Conservation District
(NCD) infill application and building plans to the HPC for a new design.
Motion by Councilmember Junker, seconded by Councilmember Weidner, to deny the request for a
demolition permit for 209 Wilkins Street East.
Councilmember Weidner suggested that the City put some teeth in the ordinance by requiring the
current structure be torn down.
Councilmember Junker pointed out that if the City denies the demolition permit, the property
owner would be required to go back to the original approval process, and everything done thus
far would be a waste.
Councilmember Polehna stated that other homeowners are required to go through the proper
process, but here is someone who just tore something down and now they want forgiveness.
Mayor Kozlowski agreed that there should be some teeth behind the ordinance.
Councilmember Menikheim commented that there should be a penalty of some kind.
City Attorney Magnuson noted that if someone were monitoring the construction and noticed they
were starting to tear down a building without a demolition permit, then the City would have had
to get a temporary restraining order to stop it, but now that demolition has already occurred, it is
almost unmanageable from a legal point of view.
Councilmember Weidner argued that because the owner is currently building outside their permit,
the entire structure could be ordered torn down.
City Attorney Magnuson responded that in order for the City to be able to tear it down, there
would have to be some legal proceeding. Now that demolition has already occurred, the City
should do all it can to ensure that the project follows the HPC-approved design.
Councilmember Weidner stated that it appears the City has unenforceable rules and permit
processes.
Councilmember Menikheim asked if a fine could be assessed to the property owner.
Councilmember Polehna remarked that the City would have to prosecute the misdemeanor.
City Attorney Magnuson stated that there is a value in the structure as it stands currently. To tear
it down would require a legal proceeding which would be expensive and could take nine months
to a year.
Councilmember Weidner responded that the feasibility is that they overbuilt their permit.
Councilmember Polehna recalled that a house on Churchill Street was torn down, unbeknownst
to the City. He does not want that to happen again.
Mayor Kozlowski stated that he hopes the new house looks better than what was there in the past.
He suggested that the Council revisit its ordinances and the HPC’s role in such cases.

COUNCIL REQUEST ITEMS
Beyond the Yellow Ribbon Update
Councilmember Polehna reported that the Pheasant Hunt for the Troops is in three weeks and the
Golf Tournament for Disabled Veterans will be at Oak Glen Golf Course September 28.
Library Events
Councilmember Menikheim reflected that the City denied the request to hold events at the Old
Swedish Church, yet the Library has been running events for 10 years. Because of the angst in the
neighborhood, it would be worthwhile to look at whether there actually is a SUP or just a directive
taken from the minutes. He feels it is a City problem, not a Library problem.
City Clerk Ward responded that there is no SUP for the Library to hold events. Rather, the minutes
state that it was directed by a previous Council that the facility consider hosting events there as a
source of revenue.
Councilmember Polehna added that he was on the Council when it was suggested to run events
at the Library as a revenue source, similar to what was done at the Washi ngton County Historic
Courthouse.
City Attorney Magnuson stated that the Library is a permitted use in the zoning district, so the
question is whether the events are considered to be normally associated with library activity. The
City Council acknowledged the plans and asked the Library to raise revenue, via a motion by
Councilman Milbrandt to approve that type of events there. However, there is not any permit and
therefore no conditions.
Councilmember Menikheim questioned whether the amount of time and neighborhood angst
generated by the events is worth the amount of money that is generated.
Mayor Kozlowski commented that he would love to have a conversation with the Library to
discuss ways to reduce neighborhood angst.
Councilmember Menikheim asked if the Council could adopt a resolution now, since there was
not a resolution ten years ago, requesting the Library board run events as necessary to supplement
their budget.
Councilmember Polehna pointed out that the hosting of events has already been approved by the
Council at the time of the building renovation.
City Clerk Ward stated that she would review the minutes to determine that there was actually
such a vote.

Planning Commission
DATE: September 30, 2016
APPLICANT: Dan Mishek, Managing Director, VistaTek
LOCATION: 1850 Greeley Street
REQUEST: Amendment to TIF Loan Agreement
AUTHOR: Bill Turnblad, Stillwater Community Development Director
BACKGROUND
VistaTek is a successful manufacturing company that relocated to Stillwater from
Vadnais Heights. The relocation was supported in part by a forgivable TIF loan. With
the expansion made possible by relocation, a new line of products has been developed
to augment the company’s existing offerings.
The company is now ready to switch from development of the new line to production
of it. In order to accomplish that goal, VistaTek would like to sell the building to a
holding company and lease it back for 15 years.
Since the City has a mortgage against the property, and ownership of the property
would change, an amendment to the loan agreement would have to be made.
COMMENTS
In the spring of 2013 the City advanced $250,000 to VistaTek (Mavack) to assist in their
acquisition and build out of two buildings on Greeley Street, Parcel A, at 1850 Greeley
and Parcel B at 1792 Greeley. Since the funds were granted to VistaTek as a forgivable
loan, the City took a Mortgage against both parcels with the right to call the entire
amount of indebtedness due and foreclose if VistaTek defaulted on their Loan
Agreement. Since the original advance of funds, VistaTek has met two yearly job
creation levels and satisfied the conditions needed for a forgiveness of $50,000 plus
accrued interest in each 2014 and 2015. The third year of the five year forgiveness
schedule is 2016.
September 30, 2016
Page 2
Since the grant of the original mortgage, the City has agreed to subordinate the City
mortgagee to allow VistaTek to refinance, and in the next year, agreed to a partial
release of the mortgage to allow a sell off on Parcel B to allow VistaTek to fund a
growth plan.
ALTERNATIVES
A. Approval. If the City Council finds the request to be satisfactory, it could
approval the TIF Loan Agreement amendment by adopting the attached Resolution.
B. Table. If the City Council requires additional information, it could table action.
C. Denial. If the City Council finds the request to be unsatisfactory, it could deny it.
Attachment: Resolution
Amended agreement
RESOLUTION NO. 2016 –
A RESOLUTION AMENDING A
LOAN AGREEMENT WITH
MAVACK, LLC (dba VistaTek)
WHEREAS, the City of Stillwater and MAVACK, LLC (dba VistaTek) have entered
into a Loan Agreement dated February 19, 2013 to provide financial assistance to relocate
VistaTek to the industrial property at 1850 Greeley Street, and
WHEREAS, MAVACK, LLC desires to sell the real estate to a third party and lease it
back for fifteen years in order to raise capital to fund production of a new product line, and
WHEREAS, the Loan Agreement must therefore be amended to reflect the change in
real estate ownership.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IS RESOLVED, that the Mayor and City Administrator are
hereby authorized to execute the Amended Loan Agreement in the form attached to this
Resolution as Exhibit A.
