CITY HALL: 216 NORTH FOURTH STILLWATER, MINNESOTA 55082 PHONE: 612-439-6121 ilk ! MAYOR:• CITY COORDINATOR: Harry D. Peterson Nater Nile L. Kriesel COUNCILMEMBERS: CITY CLERK: Ann Marie Bodlovick — Mary Lou Johnson David C. Junker THE BIRTHPLACE OF MINNESOTA FINANCE DIRECTOR: Jay Kimble Betty J. Caruso Brad MacDonald CITY ATTORNEY: David T. Magnuson July -9, 1985 Memo to: Mayor and City Council From: Allen Zepper As I mentioned at the last Council Meeting, I will not attend the meeting on July 16th. Following are my concerns and opinions on the Public Hearings: CASE NO. 593 John A. Fox, 437 South Second St. - Request Special Use Permit for a Bed and Breakfast facility. (See attached list of comments from Mr. Fox.) I have a concern over a couple of items Mr. Fox mentioned. He said Stillwater needs "transient" housing. He also made the statement that the living room was so large, and he would have audio/visual equipment avqilable. This indicates to me that an Amway or Shaklee (or whatever) person could rent a room and use the larger room for their meeting. I think this could be a definite parking and traffic problem. Mr. Fox was also told that if he went over five sleeping rooms, he would have to come in for a hotel permit and very extensive remodeling would have to be done to meet Fire, Life Safety and Building Codes. It was told to him very explicitly so there was no doubt of his understanding it. If you get over five sleeping rooms, the Codes classify it as a hotel. I would also recommend the Fire Department make yearly inspections on all of the Bread and Breakfast establishments to insure continued compliance. Some of the hotel requirements are: 1. Escape window in each room. 2. Each sex toilet for each ten (10) people or part of ten. 3. One handicapped accessable unit. 4. Sound ratings. 5. Kitchen help facilities (ie restroom) 6. Two exits off third floor. 7. Rated corridors. 8. One hour separation from basement. 9. One hour resistive thru out. These are the major items, but not all of the requirements. CITY HALL: 216 NORTH FOURTH STILLWATER, MINNESOTA 55082 PHONE: 612-439-6121 CASE N0. 594 Mike Collins, 309 W. St. Croix Avenue - Request for 10 ft. front yard setback.variance for construction of a shed. No problems either way. Lady to the West was concerned that her vision from her window would be impaired. She has lived there forty some years. CASE NO. 595 Grant D. Ranum, 522 W. Hickory St. - Request reduction of required building separation variance (7 ft.). No problems either way, except if the garage was slid eight more feet to the West there would be a useless junk collecting corner behind the garage. Mr. Ranum knows he will have to firewall the garage if approval is given. CASE NO. 596 Lawrence Rose, 1321 South Fifth Street - Request Special Use Permit for construction of a commercial building. My concern is for the safety for workers and/or customers in this building which will have a plastic covering. Plastic is flamable and gives off toxic fumes. We should be sure this building is not open to the public if approved. CASE NO. 597 George and Louise Speers, 1229 Third Avenue South - Five ft. sideyard setback variance to construct a three season porch. No problems either way. They have an enormous rear yard and John Ogren is the only one really effected. He has no objections to the project. I r Lr, _ -C (COMMENTS - MR.

Vice Chairman, Jerry Fontaine, chaired the meeting for Dean Miller. Jerry called the meeting to order at 7:23 p.m. Motion by Jay Kimble, seconded by Jean Jacobson to approve the minutes from the meeting of July 8, 1985. Carried unanimously. Jerry Fontaine reviewed Council action on last month's cases. CASE NO. 599 Variance Doyle Hubbell, 714 W. Maple, for variance to change one family home to duplex. Mr. Hubbell explained that he has made an offer to purchase the house contingent on this variance. He stated he has had previous experience in property management. There is room for off-street parking. The house was previously used as a duplex (until 1979) and no remodeling is necessary. The present owners only re?oved the appliances. Mr. Hubbell presented a list of neighbors who are in favor of the proposed plan. A neighbor living at 715 Hickory expressed her concern of the lot being too small and that the house has only been on the market for a short time and there would be a possibility of a single family buying it. She is concerned about the growing number of duplexes in the area. Motion by Nancy Putz, seconded by Jean Jacobson to approve 161-,' front yard variance and a 1438 sq. foot yard variance. Motion carried. (4 yes, 1 abstained, Seitz). There was some discussion regarding bed and breakfast facilities. John Fox was present and explained some of his feelings on several things that were denied in his request for a bed and breakfast facility. He stated that there is to be no liquor and that he is not able to control his guests if they bring in liquor. He would very much like consideration of new definitions of codes. Mr. Zepper stated that the building inspectors are working on bed and breakfast facility codes and regulations. Motion by Allen Zepper, seconded by Jean Jacobson to adjourn at 8:15 p.m. Carried unanimously. Respectfully submitted, Gwen Monty, Secretary
