All in favor, 4-0. OPEN FORUM There were no public comments. CONSENT AGENDA There were no items on the Consent Agenda. PUBLIC HEARINGS Case No. 2017-40: Design Review Permit to construct a single family structure on the property located at XXX Linden Street in the RB District. Jessica Bostrom, property owner and Paul Bruggeman, applicant. City Planner Wittman reviewed the request. The applicant is requesting a permit to construct a two and a half story, two-family residence at XXX Linden Street West. The lot was recently split from the property to the west. The proposed house will measure approximately 22' wide by 48' deep and will contain a 6' deep front porch and an attached 20X28' garage. While a 12' deep deck is proposed for the rear of the property, the applicant was unable to secure a variance to the Rear Yard Setback for the construction of this improvement. A 6/12 gable will run parallel with the front lot line. It will contain a 10/12 pitch projection that will not rise to the primary gable. The front gable area will contain a 6' porch with a 4/12 pitch roof. LP lap siding, to extend to the grade level, and aluminum soffit and fascia is proposed on all four sides; LP board and batten will be located on the front of the home, above the porch, to add visual interest. Double hung windows are proposed for the front and sides of the home; the rear of the home will have slightly wider windows, stacked one over the other on all stories. All windows and trim boards will be 1X4" LP Smart Siding. Asphalt shingles are proposed. Staff finds Case No. 2017-40 is in substantial conformance with the Neighborhood Conservation District guidelines and recommends approval with nine conditions. Heritage Preservation Commission Meeting January 17, 2018 Paul Bruggeman, Bruggeman Builders, stated that the two windows shown on the second story will not be built. The bedrooms are small and they are trying to preserve wall space. Chairman Larson explained the purpose of the conservation district guidelines is to ensure that what is built is consistent with existing neighborhood character. He complimented the front elevation but noted that having no windows on the sides of the house is not consistent with the conservation district. Commissioners Mino and Hadrits agreed they would like to see more windows. Mr. Bruggeman said he has no problem adding windows but there is not a lot of wall space in this home due to the compact floor plan. He discussed with Chairman Larson where windows may be added that would not conflict with the interior floor plan. Chairman Larson suggested the application be tabled to request revised drawings, possibly to include rake board on the sides and corner trim to make the sides more consistent with the front. City Planner Wittman summarized that the Commission would like to see more windows with a more uniform design, and is favorable to smaller sets of windows above interior elements if they are fairly symmetrical, stacked when possible. Chairman Larson also requested that the new drawings show the proposed window trim. Chairman Larson noted that because there was only one other person in the audience, he did not open the public hearing. Motion by Chairman Larson, seconded by Commissioner Steinwall, to table Case No. 2017-40, Design Review Permit to construct a single family structure on the property located at XXX Linden Street in the RB District, to request revisions of exterior detailing, windows and trim as discussed to include where the tree will be planted. All in favor, 4-0. NEW BUSINESS Case No. 2017-36: Design Review Permit to operate a Segway tour business from 204 Main Street North in the CBD District. Steve Gnan, property owner and James Linden, applicant. City Planner Wittman explained that the Planning Commission conditionally approved a Special Use Permit for Stillwater Segway Tours to operate a season recreational business from 204 Main Street North. A condition of approval includes obtaining a Design Permit for certain temporary (April 1 - October 31) improvements at the associated property. The applicant is requesting a Design Permit for a temporary structure and associated signage. The applicant originally submitted a proposal for a 10X12, steel frame and polyester sided gazebo to be used as a sales kiosk but has since revised the plan to instead use a steel framed shed. The proposal includes: 1) a steel framed, steel sided "tuff shed"; and 2) a 38" by 20" sign located on the shed, along with a six square foot sidewalk sign. The applicant also is proposing to have a 9x12' aluminum trailer onsite. It will be stationary and parked in a location that is not visible from Main Street. The trailer will be used to store and recharge the segways when not in use. Staff finds that with certain conditions, the signage can conform to the standards for Design Permits and the Downtown Design Review District guidelines. Staff recommends approval with six conditions. James Linden, applicant, said the gazebo originally submitted was his first choice because it has served his business well for the past three years, but since meeting with the City Council and staff, he came up with the idea for the steel structure that is a bit more substantial. A third choice might be to use the steel structure as a frame and put a wood facade around it. The structure provides a space where customers can sit down and sign a form. The segways would be stored in the trailer in the back. There are seven segways. Page 2 of 4 Heritage Preservation Commission Meeting January 17, 2018 City Planner Wittman added that the kiosk structure and the trailer will be kept on site all season. The trailer will be located behind Let There Be Light building. Councilmember Junker commented that seven months is a long time for a temporary building. He likes the wooden structure better than the steel shed, which is not appropriate for Main Street. Commissioner Hadrits and Mino agreed. City Planner Wittman noted that if the public is allowed into the space it could trigger building code requirements, for instance head height. Chairman Larson acknowledged resistance to allowing tent -like structures around town. He suggested perhaps an open wood gazebo structure would be appropriate. Motion by Commissioner Hadrits, seconded by Commissioner Steinwall, to table Case No. 2017-36, Design Review Permit to operate a Segway tour business from 204 Main Street North in the CBD District, directing the applicant to explore more traditional designs for a temporary building that fits the downtown district including wood as a base. All in favor, 4-0. OTHER ITEMS OF DISCUSSION Development Application Timelines and HPC Review City Planner Wittman informed the Commission that an unintended consequence of the HPC meeting being the 3rd Wednesday of the month is that the HPC's review of an application now occurs after the Planning Commission (CPC) meeting. This has created a challenge when reviewing development proposals. While the CPC customarily gives approvals based on the HPC's actions, it often gives an applicant the perception that the design is acceptable. This is compounded when requests for variances are granted. One way to reduce this conflict is for the City to adopt a policy that development review must start with the HPC. However, this does not eliminate the fact that the HPC's monthly meeting is after the CPCs. One potential solution would be for the HPC to switch their monthly meeting date prior to the CPC's monthly meeting date. If this were acceptable to the HPC, the 1st Wednesdays and Thursdays of each month would not pose a conflict with the City's meeting schedule. Commissioner Steinwall commented that the current system appears to be too flexible - for instance, concept review stage should not last for years. Variances should not be approved prior to design review. Chairman Larson stated Commissioners should recognize that any comment they make in informally discussing a project concept may be understood to carry the same weight as final approval. Ms. Wittman summarized that concept review, requiring a vote and carrying some sort of weight, should take place prior to a project obtaining use permits or variances and that it should have some sort of expiration. She will work with the City Attorney, Community Development Director and Council and research what other cities are doing regarding concept approvals/reviews. STAFF UPDATES Water Street Inn Appeal City Planner Wittman stated that the HPC's recommendation was overturned by the City Council. Page 3 of 6 Heritage Preservation Commission Meeting January 17, 2018 Small Wireless Zoning Text Amendment Ms. Wittman stated she is working with the City of Excelsior on stock language that cities with historic districts could use to regulate small wireless zoning. 2040 Comprehensive Plan Historic Resources Chapter RFP City Planner Wittman stated that the request for proposals has gone out. Staff would like to have a small volunteer committee to help the HPC update the chapter. She was directed to put out a call for volunteers. MnDOT St. Croix River Crossing - Lift Bridge Book Ms. Wittman stated that the final copy of the book will be out in the next few months. Demolition Studies Pre -Approval List City Planner Wittman presented a new pre -approval list of firms interested in doing demolition studies. 2017 HPC Case Report Ms. Wittman provided the annual case report. ADJOURNMENT Motion by Chairman Larson, seconded by Commissioner Hadrits, to adjourn. All in favor, 4-0. The meeting was adjourned at 9:15 p.m. Respectfully Submitted, Julie Kink, Recording Secretary Page 4 of 4 fflwater !i F 6'.RTFV P14 T; E 91F MINNFSOITA HERITAGE PRESERVATION COMMISSION MEETING DATE: February 21, 2018 CASE NO.: 2018-01 APPLICANT: Jason Husveth representing CCES, Inc. REQUEST: Consideration of a Design Permit for new signage at 450 Main Street North, in the Downtown Design Review District. 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 to install a flat wall sign at 450 Main Street North. The sign will measure 91.5" in length and 18" tall. The unlit, aluminum sign board will have vinyl letters that will read "Critical Connections Ecological Services, Inc". The total square footage of the sign is approximately 16 square feet. While the longest length times the tallest height does account for approximately 23 square feet, the calculation of the area of company's logo/graphic and the business name has been a standard practice on this site. APPLICABLE BACKGROUND According to City Council September 7, 2004, meeting minutes, the original structure design and multi -tenant sign plan was approved in 1996. At the time the use of the structure was predominantly (if not exclusively) for office purposes. Therefore, the structure's multi -tenant sign plan was limited to an interior directory sign. When retail uses were proposed for the structure, a multi -tenant sign plan was developed and approved by the HPC as part of Case No. 2004-47. A copy of the sign plan is attached. Staff has not been able to determine if a multi -tenant plan has been reviewed and approved by the HPC since 2004. That said, this sign is proposed to be located in a place where there is not currently a sign. The property is permitted to have 101 square feet of wall signage. Currently there are four wall signs facing Main Street and one sign on the south facade, just above the primary entrance.

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 unless a multi -tenant sign plan has been developed and approved. Municipal Code Section 31-509, 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 section pertaining to "Sign and Graphics" is attached for Commission review. ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS This storefront sign uses simple, bold and simple type style lettering in colors that keep with the Victorian tradition. The sign has sufficient contrast between the lettering and the background to display the primary name of the business. While painted wood is 450 Main Street North Case No. HPC 2017-22 July 19, 2017 Page 2 of 3 encouraged, the aluminum panel is consistent on this structure and the North end of Main Street. However, the flat panel design with vinyl cut lettering is not in keeping with the guidelines. While a multi -tenant sign plan is in place for the structure, it appears the signs have historically congregated around the main entrance. However, this is not consistent with the guideline to "view the building as a whole and plan a unified design strategy to take advantage of all possible sign locations". Additionally, the existing signage does not "emphasize the whole width and geometry of [the]...building[s]". However, in 2017 the HPC determined the existing locations of the signs should prevail. ALTERNATIVES The HPC has alternatives related to this request. A. Approve. If the proposed application meets the Design Permit standards and the downtown design review district guidelines, the HPC should move to approve Case No. 2018-01. Staff recommends the following conditions for approval: a. The sign shall not be greater than 16 square feet. b. If the sign is to be located in the place of an existing sign, the installation shall utilize existing drill holes for mounting. Any existing drill holes not utilized will be patched. c. The sign shall obtain a Sign Permit prior to the installation of the sign. d. All modifications shall be reviewed and approved prior to be implemented. Major modifications shall be reviewed by the Heritage Preservation Commission; minor modifications shall be reviewed by staff. B. Approve in part. C. Deny. If the HPC finds that the proposal is not consistent with the Design Permit standards, and the design review district guidelines, then the Commission may deny the request. With a denial, the basis of action is required to be given. Furthermore, a denial with prejudice would prohibit the applicant from resubmittal of a similar application for one year. D. Table. If the HPC needs additional information to make a decision, the request may be tabled to the following hearing. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends conditional approval of HPC Case No. 2018-01 for the CCES storefront sign.

Exterior Signage Basis of Design Example Sign / Details Rect Sign is 88" L ang ( ncl. under circle INSIOr NEURAL TRAINING STUDIO Signs and Graphics Background During the peak of commercial activity in Stillwater, the signs in the historic commercial district had a distinct character that was a part of the overall streetscape. Many of the historic buildings were built to accommodate a storefront sign band in their original design. The efforts of the Design Manual are not meant to turn back the clock, but rather to preserve and enhance that distinct and historic character of Stillwater. All signage is subject to Stillwater building and zoning codes. 1. QUANTITIES, LOCATION AND SIZE Background In the past, streetscapes had a variety of sign types that not only identified the business, but also the name of the buildings, dates of construction, etc. The signs were simple, bold and well Crafted. Lettering was in clear, no-nonsense styles, maximizing the contrast between the background and the lettering. Varying sign types can be found in the historic streetscape including: (1) architectural signs, (2) storefront signs, (3) window signs, (4) awnings, (5) projecting signs, and (6) painted wall signs and murals. Every building should select the most appropriate sign type for its architecture and location. Guidelines • The maintenance and restoration of any existing historic signs is encouraged in lieu of replacement. • Signage for a business not located within the building is not acceptable. a- • Only one sign that contains the business name or graphic logo is permitted per street facing side. The exception is that a 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 of the building. A projecting sign with two faces is considered one sign. DESIGN MANUAL, COMMERCIAL HISTORIC DISTRICT, STILLWATER, MINNESOTA 26 Signs and Graphics a. ARCHITECTURAL SIGNS Backround Architectural signs are integrated into the building fabric and are constructed of permanent materials such as stone or metal. Names and the dates of construction were common signs included on the facade. They were typically located in the roof parapet detailing or in a cornerstone detail. These add a sense of history and place to the character and fabric of Stillwater. Guidelines • Preserve existing architectural signs. • Promote the use of the original building names in new signage. DESIGN MANUAL, COMMERCIAL HISTORIC DISTRICT, STILLWATER, MINNESOTA 27 Signs and Graphics b. STOREFRONT SIGNS Backround Storefront signs are those which are located on the horizontal band dividing the storefront windows from the upper facade of the building. Guidelines • 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. • Use simple, bold lettering with sufficient contrast between the lettering and the background. • "Trademark" or "Logo" signs may not be acceptable if the color and character of the sign is not in keeping with the historic character of the area. • The maximum area of the sign is regulated by the sign ordinance. • Graphics in the sign are included in the maximum allowable area. DESIGN MANUAL, COMMERCIAL HISTORIC DISTRICT, STILLWATER, MINNESOTA 28 Signs and Graphics c. WINDOW SIGNS Background Window signs are applied inside the glass of storefront windows, upper floor windows and doorways. Their main focus was on the approaching pedestrian; therefore the signs gave more detailed information about the business. Guidelines • It may often be desirable to keep the display space clear. In these cases, insert the sign at the base or the head of the window, or both. • Keep the lettering small remembering that the reader will be in close proximity to the sign. Use several lines where necessaiy and consider curving the top line at the head of the window. • Lettering formed with neon may be used in the inside of the window, provided the size, light intensity, color and style are consistent with the theme of the buildong. • Total sign area in the window should not exceed one-third of the window area. • Display street numbers on or directly above the door, and business hours on the inside of the door or in an adjacent window.

PROJECTING SIGNS Background Projecting signs are at right angles to the building face, either fixed to the wall or hanging from a bracket. Their major advantage over storefront or window signs is their ability to be seen by pedestrians and motorists from a distance down the street. If they get too large, however, they can obscure each other, so it is important to keep them small and simple. Guidelines • The maximum area of the sign and the minimum height above the sidewalk is regulated by the sign ordinance. • Use materials consistent with the period, such as wood signboards and metal brackets. 45 DEGREES DESIGN MANUAL, COMMERCIAL HISTORIC DISTRICT, STILLWATER, MINNESOTA 30 Signs and Graphics e. PAINTED WALL SIGNS & MURALS Background Painted wall signs occasionally appeared on the side of buildings at comer locations, or where a low adjacent roofline exposed an expanse of plain brick wall above. As these signs were high on the building, the message was simple and the lettering was large and bold. In the time period of the 1920's — 1950's, there were occasions of painted advertising in these areas. More recently, there have been murals created on walls of "non- contributing" buildings, or on the bac of "non-contributing" buildings, or on the back walls of "contributing" buildings. These have been addressed on a case -by -case basis. Guidelines • Where existing painted wall signs can still he found, leave them exposed, or restore them to their original colors. • No new wall signs or murals should he introduced on historic "contributing" buildings. • Murals on "non-contributing" buildings have been allowed with individual review, provided they have a historic theme, and do not advertise an existing business or company. DESIGN MANUAL, COMMERCIAL HISTORIC DISTRICT, STILLWATER, MINNESOTA 31 Signs and Graphics 2. COORDINATION OF SIGNS Backround At the time of the commercial boom in Stillwater (1870's — 1900's) most buildings were owned and occupied by single businesses. Merchants thought of their entire facade as potential sign space. For this reason, the signs were all well coordinated. Ownership and business use patterns have changed over the years, and many buildings now contain multiple businesses. It is important that tenants and owners cooperate to design a sign package, which will help to reunify the building facade. Guidelines • Multiple -tenant buildings should submit a Sign Package that includes building elevations (drawn to scale), sign types, locations and sizes. Do not put up signs piecemeal. View the building as a whole and plan a unified design strategy to take advantage of all possible sign locations. • Tenants and owners should use a common lettering style and color scheme on the building • Design the Sign Package to emphasize the whole width and geometry of storefronts and individual buildings. Avoid the use of unified signage across multiple buildings thai are obviously separate and of different and distinct scale or architecture. • Consider giving the entire building an identifiable name, i.e. "Stillwater Mercantile", with individual business signs near the entrances, or on a common directory.

MATERIALS Background Apart from architectual signs, the original exterior signs of Stillwater were constructed of wood and painted. Window signs were painted, etched or gilded. Today a great range of materials are available, including metals and plastics, and their unconditioned use can lead to a confusion of signage, which detracts from the unique character of Stillwater. Modern sign materials are acceptable provided their design is handled with an understanding of the Victorian spirit. An exception is made in the case of internally lit and back -lit signs, their nature is inherently foreign to the solid character of brick and wood Victorian architecture and they are bound to strike a false and distracting note in the streetscape. Guidelines • Use painted wood where practicable. It is the authentic material and will look appropriate against the weathered brick of Stillwater's commercial facades. Modern materials that simulate wood may be acceptable, and will be reviewed on a case -by - case basis. • Neon may be used as an interior window sign only. • Backlit and internally lit signs are not appropriate. • Supporting brackets for projecting signs should be metal, painted black. DESIGN MANUAL, COMMERCIAL HISTORIC DISTRICT, STILLWATER, MINNESOTA 33 Signs and Graphics 4. SHAPE OF SIGNS Background The signs of Stillwater were forthright and utilitarian. Simple, framed rectangular boards were constructed to fill the available spaces. A common type was the long narrow sign, which stretched across the top of the storefront windows. Guidelines • Design the sign shape to fit and fill the available space. Consider using long narrow signs spanning the full width of the facade. • If a projecting sign is used, keep it simple in shape, small in size and utilitarian in design. • Window signs should be symmetrical in layout and position. Top lines may be curved. 5. COLOR Background The commercial structures of this time period did not use a wide range of paint colors. The palette was particularly narrow; dark green, dark brown and black were common. Signs were painted for contrast rather than for color -black letters on a white background, gold letters on a black background. Complete ranges of paint colors are available today, ranging from the jarring to the pastel. If they are used indiscriminately, the unique historic character of Stillwater will be destroyed. Guidelines • Choose subdued colors and dark tones in keeping with the Victorian tradition. Properly selected combinations of dark brown and green, black, off-white and gold are all appropriate. • Choose tones with sufficient contrast to be clearly legible: dark on light or light on dark. • Support brackets of projecting signs should be black. 6. LETTERING Background Most of the original signs in Stillwater were strictly practical -the lettering had to be large enough to have an impact at the required viewing distance, and clear enough to be readily legible. Generally the style was a plain bold or classic uppercase arranged symmetrically, and one style was often repeated on various signs applied to one building. Guidelines • Choose a bold and simple type style and use it on all appropriate signs. DESIGN MANUAL, COMMERCIAL HISTORIC DISTRICT, STILLWATER, MINNESOTA 34 Signs and Graphics 7. LIGHTING Background In the nineteenth century, Stillwater would have been dimly lit. Today we expect our cities to be bright and lively at night. We must achieve an acceptable standard of lighting without compromising the essential character of the historic setting. Guidelines • Use incandescent indirect lighting and place spotlights discreetly, in such a way as to shield the source from pedestrians and vehicular traffic. • Neon lights are permitted in window signs only. Design them with respect for the historic ambiance of the area. • Do not use flashing, moving or intermittent lights. • Do not use internally or back -lit signs, either projecting, wall mounted, or hung inside the window. • Do not use changeable or movable letters or graphics. 8. INSTALLATION Background With the high turnover of businesses in many of the historic buildings, signage has become temporary in nature. Efforts must be made to make sure that damage to buildings is minimized when signage is installed. Guidelines • The installation of any signage or graphics must have a minimal impact on the building and must allow the building to return to its original condition upon signage removal. • Reuse of existing mounting brackets, studs or holes is desirable.

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 to install an unlit, flat wall sign at 124 Main Street North. The sign will measure 2' tall and 10' in length. The 20 square foot, painted aluminum sign board will will read "RM Realty". This sign will replace the previous "Cami Couture" sign. As noted, this sign will replace a previously approved sign. The Cami Couture sign was approved to be 1' tall by 12.458' wide; this was to ensure it would be located in the established storefront sign band area. 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. The tenant space is 18 feet in length so the proposed sign is two square feet too large. Municipal Code Section 31-509, 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 section pertaining to "Sign and Graphics" is attached for Commission review. FINDINGS This storefront sign uses simple, bold and simple type style lettering in colors that keep with the Victorian tradition. The sign has sufficient contrast between the lettering and the background. While painted wood is encouraged, painted aluminum signs have also been determined to be consistent with the Downtown Historic District. If approved, the applicant's proposal would be taller than the established sign band area. Therefore, unless certain modifications are made to the sign, it does not conform to the following guidelines: • Design the sign shape to fit and fill the available space. Consider using long narrow signs spanning the full width of the facade. • Signage should be located in such a way as to not obscure any architectural features of the building. ALTERNATIVES The HPC has alternatives related to this request. A. Approve.

The efforts of the Design Manual are not meant to turn back the clock, but rather to preserve and enhance that distinct and historic character of Stillwater. All signage is subject to Stillwater building and zoning codes. 1. QUANTITIES, LOCATION AND SIZE Background In the past, streetscapes had a variety of sign types that not only identified the business, but also the name of the buildings, dates of construction, etc. The signs were simple, bold and well Crafted. Lettering was in clear, no-nonsense styles, maximizing the contrast between the background and the lettering. Varying sign types can be found in the historic streetscape including: (1) architectural signs, (2) storefront signs, (3) window signs, (4) awnings, (5) projecting signs, and (6) painted wall signs and murals. Every building should select the most appropriate sign type for its architecture and location. Guidelines • The maintenance and restoration of any existing historic signs is encouraged in lieu of replacement. • Signage for a business not located within the building is not acceptable. a- • Only one sign that contains the business name or graphic logo is permitted per street facing side. The exception is that a 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 of the building. A projecting sign with two faces is considered one sign. DESIGN MANUAL, COMMERCIAL HISTORIC DISTRICT, STILLWATER, MINNESOTA 26 Signs and Graphics a. ARCHITECTURAL SIGNS Backround Architectural signs are integrated into the building fabric and are constructed of permanent materials such as stone or metal. Names and the dates of construction were common signs included on the facade. They were typically located in the roof parapet detailing or in a cornerstone detail. These add a sense of history and place to the character and fabric of Stillwater. Guidelines • Preserve existing architectural signs. • Promote the use of the original building names in new signage. DESIGN MANUAL, COMMERCIAL HISTORIC DISTRICT, STILLWATER, MINNESOTA 27 Signs and Graphics b. STOREFRONT SIGNS Backround Storefront signs are those which are located on the horizontal band dividing the storefront windows from the upper facade of the building. Guidelines • 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. • Use simple, bold lettering with sufficient contrast between the lettering and the background. • "Trademark" or "Logo" signs may not be acceptable if the color and character of the sign is not in keeping with the historic character of the area. • The maximum area of the sign is regulated by the sign ordinance. • Graphics in the sign are included in the maximum allowable area. DESIGN MANUAL, COMMERCIAL HISTORIC DISTRICT, STILLWATER, MINNESOTA 28 Signs and Graphics c. WINDOW SIGNS Background Window signs are applied inside the glass of storefront windows, upper floor windows and doorways. Their main focus was on the approaching pedestrian; therefore the signs gave more detailed information about the business. Guidelines • It may often be desirable to keep the display space clear. In these cases, insert the sign at the base or the head of the window, or both. • Keep the lettering small remembering that the reader will be in close proximity to the sign. Use several lines where necessaiy and consider curving the top line at the head of the window. • Lettering formed with neon may be used in the inside of the window, provided the size, light intensity, color and style are consistent with the theme of the buildong. • Total sign area in the window should not exceed one-third of the window area. • Display street numbers on or directly above the door, and business hours on the inside of the door or in an adjacent window.

PROJECTING SIGNS Background Projecting signs are at right angles to the building face, either fixed to the wall or hanging from a bracket. Their major advantage over storefront or window signs is their ability to be seen by pedestrians and motorists from a distance down the street. If they get too large, however, they can obscure each other, so it is important to keep them small and simple. Guidelines • The maximum area of the sign and the minimum height above the sidewalk is regulated by the sign ordinance. • Use materials consistent with the period, such as wood signboards and metal brackets. 45 DEGREES DESIGN MANUAL, COMMERCIAL HISTORIC DISTRICT, STILLWATER, MINNESOTA 30 Signs and Graphics e. PAINTED WALL SIGNS & MURALS Background Painted wall signs occasionally appeared on the side of buildings at comer locations, or where a low adjacent roofline exposed an expanse of plain brick wall above. As these signs were high on the building, the message was simple and the lettering was large and bold. In the time period of the 1920's — 1950's, there were occasions of painted advertising in these areas. More recently, there have been murals created on walls of "non- contributing" buildings, or on the bac of "non-contributing" buildings, or on the back walls of "contributing" buildings. These have been addressed on a case -by -case basis. Guidelines • Where existing painted wall signs can still he found, leave them exposed, or restore them to their original colors. • No new wall signs or murals should he introduced on historic "contributing" buildings. • Murals on "non-contributing" buildings have been allowed with individual review, provided they have a historic theme, and do not advertise an existing business or company. DESIGN MANUAL, COMMERCIAL HISTORIC DISTRICT, STILLWATER, MINNESOTA 31 Signs and Graphics 2. COORDINATION OF SIGNS Backround At the time of the commercial boom in Stillwater (1870's — 1900's) most buildings were owned and occupied by single businesses. Merchants thought of their entire facade as potential sign space. For this reason, the signs were all well coordinated. Ownership and business use patterns have changed over the years, and many buildings now contain multiple businesses. It is important that tenants and owners cooperate to design a sign package, which will help to reunify the building facade. Guidelines • Multiple -tenant buildings should submit a Sign Package that includes building elevations (drawn to scale), sign types, locations and sizes. Do not put up signs piecemeal. View the building as a whole and plan a unified design strategy to take advantage of all possible sign locations. • Tenants and owners should use a common lettering style and color scheme on the building • Design the Sign Package to emphasize the whole width and geometry of storefronts and individual buildings. Avoid the use of unified signage across multiple buildings thai are obviously separate and of different and distinct scale or architecture. • Consider giving the entire building an identifiable name, i.e. "Stillwater Mercantile", with individual business signs near the entrances, or on a common directory.

MATERIALS Background Apart from architectual signs, the original exterior signs of Stillwater were constructed of wood and painted. Window signs were painted, etched or gilded. Today a great range of materials are available, including metals and plastics, and their unconditioned use can lead to a confusion of signage, which detracts from the unique character of Stillwater. Modern sign materials are acceptable provided their design is handled with an understanding of the Victorian spirit. An exception is made in the case of internally lit and back -lit signs, their nature is inherently foreign to the solid character of brick and wood Victorian architecture and they are bound to strike a false and distracting note in the streetscape. Guidelines • Use painted wood where practicable. It is the authentic material and will look appropriate against the weathered brick of Stillwater's commercial facades. Modern materials that simulate wood may be acceptable, and will be reviewed on a case -by - case basis. • Neon may be used as an interior window sign only. • Backlit and internally lit signs are not appropriate. • Supporting brackets for projecting signs should be metal, painted black. DESIGN MANUAL, COMMERCIAL HISTORIC DISTRICT, STILLWATER, MINNESOTA 33 Signs and Graphics 4. SHAPE OF SIGNS Background The signs of Stillwater were forthright and utilitarian. Simple, framed rectangular boards were constructed to fill the available spaces. A common type was the long narrow sign, which stretched across the top of the storefront windows. Guidelines • Design the sign shape to fit and fill the available space. Consider using long narrow signs spanning the full width of the facade. • If a projecting sign is used, keep it simple in shape, small in size and utilitarian in design. • Window signs should be symmetrical in layout and position. Top lines may be curved. 5. COLOR Background The commercial structures of this time period did not use a wide range of paint colors. The palette was particularly narrow; dark green, dark brown and black were common. Signs were painted for contrast rather than for color -black letters on a white background, gold letters on a black background. Complete ranges of paint colors are available today, ranging from the jarring to the pastel. If they are used indiscriminately, the unique historic character of Stillwater will be destroyed. Guidelines • Choose subdued colors and dark tones in keeping with the Victorian tradition. Properly selected combinations of dark brown and green, black, off-white and gold are all appropriate. • Choose tones with sufficient contrast to be clearly legible: dark on light or light on dark. • Support brackets of projecting signs should be black. 6. LETTERING Background Most of the original signs in Stillwater were strictly practical -the lettering had to be large enough to have an impact at the required viewing distance, and clear enough to be readily legible. Generally the style was a plain bold or classic uppercase arranged symmetrically, and one style was often repeated on various signs applied to one building. Guidelines • Choose a bold and simple type style and use it on all appropriate signs. DESIGN MANUAL, COMMERCIAL HISTORIC DISTRICT, STILLWATER, MINNESOTA 34 Signs and Graphics 7. LIGHTING Background In the nineteenth century, Stillwater would have been dimly lit. Today we expect our cities to be bright and lively at night. We must achieve an acceptable standard of lighting without compromising the essential character of the historic setting. Guidelines • Use incandescent indirect lighting and place spotlights discreetly, in such a way as to shield the source from pedestrians and vehicular traffic. • Neon lights are permitted in window signs only. Design them with respect for the historic ambiance of the area. • Do not use flashing, moving or intermittent lights. • Do not use internally or back -lit signs, either projecting, wall mounted, or hung inside the window. • Do not use changeable or movable letters or graphics. 8. INSTALLATION Background With the high turnover of businesses in many of the historic buildings, signage has become temporary in nature. Efforts must be made to make sure that damage to buildings is minimized when signage is installed. Guidelines • The installation of any signage or graphics must have a minimal impact on the building and must allow the building to return to its original condition upon signage removal. • Reuse of existing mounting brackets, studs or holes is desirable.

At that time the Commission determined the proposed strucuture was not in keeping with the intention of the guidelines to have durable, long lasting facilities in the Downtown Core and that the proposed structure did not complement the architectural character of the neighborhood. The Commission directed the applicant to explore wooden structures. UPDATED REQUEST The applicant has updated his request and submitted for Commission review. The new proposal includes: 1. Use of a 56 square foot (7X8'), wood framed structure. The structure is proposed to be sided with 4" OC Pine painted plywood. The structure is proposed to have a 7/12 pitched, Ondura corrugated asphalt roof. There will be a dutch door facing Main Street. HPC 2017-39 January 17, 2018 Page 2 of 4 The applicant has identified a range of earthtone colors for the siding and trim. The roofing material also comes in a variety of colors but, as indicated by the applicant, the preference would be for brown or black roofing. 2. Two signs: a) One, five square foot aluminum sign proposed to be affixed to the temporary structure. The sign is shown as black with white and yellow painted or vinyl lettering. One, six square foot sidewalk sign. Neither sign has been constructed. While the applicant is proposing to have a 9x12' aluminum trailer onsite, it will be stationary and parked in a location that is not visible from Main Street. The trailer will be used to store and recharge the Segways when not in use. The applicant has indicated he may be able to accommodate the entire business in the wooden structure and, if that is the case, the trailer will not be located on the premises. APPLICABLE REGULATIONS AND GUIDELINES Municipal Code Section Sec. 31-509(f), Standards for Review, indicates the HPC shall utilize the following standards: • Site layout: The orientation and location of buildings and open spaces in relation to the physical characteristics of the site, the character of the neighborhood and the appearance and harmony of the buildings with adjacent development. • Architectural character: o The suitability of the building for the intended purpose. o The consistency of the applications design with approved design guidelines. o The compatibility of the character of the design with adjacent development. ■ 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. • Historical structures, vistas, sites and the impact of development on these resources. ■ 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: • Materials: Buildings within the commercial core were constructed with brick, stone or wood. Compatibility with similar exterior construction materials in the immediate area is recommended in order to maintain the distinct character and harmony of the area. o An infill building and facade should be composed of materials similar to original adjacent facades (example: local brick or stone). o New buildings should not stand out against the others but be compatible with the general area. o The use of exposed or painted concrete masonry units is not acceptable. HPC 2017-39 January 17, 2018 Page 3 of 4 o 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. ■ Signs and Graphics: o Materials: ■ Use painted wood where practicable. It is the authentic material and will look appropriate against the weathered brick of Stillwater's commercial facades. Modern materials that simulate wood may be acceptable, and will be reviewed on a case -by -case basis. o Color: ■ Choose subdued colors and dark tones in keeping with the Victorian tradition. Property selected combinations of dark brown and green, black, off-white and gold are appropriate. • Choose tones with sufficient contrast to be clearly legible: dark on light or light on dark. o Lettering: • Chose a bold and simple type style and use it on all appropriate signs. ANALYSIS Temporary Structure The small wood framed structure is similar to the HPC-approved Papa Wheelies structure formerly located on this site. The 4" OC plywood siding will have a look that is similar to tongue and groove. While the applicant is proposing the panels to be placed vertical, they can be installed in a horizontal fashion to have a look that is similar to the look of traditional lap siding. The Ondura roofing is similar to a traditional corrugated metal. This structure is proposed to be constructed onsite and removed at the end of each season. Signage As previously noted, the structure is proposed to be seven feet in width. The applicant is proposing five square feet. While the unlit wall sign generally conforms to the Zoning Code, wall signs are to be used for general identification purposes. Secondary information, including contact information, is not encouraged. The A -frame, sidewalk generally sign conforms to the City's sidewalk sign policy. However, it is constructed of plastic and vinyl which are not materials that are encouraged for signage in the Downtown Core. That said, the City's Sidewalk Sign Policy does not prohibit sidewalk signs made of these materials. HPC 2017-39 January 17, 2018 Page 4 of 4 ALTERNATIVES A. Approval If the Heritage Preservation Commission finds the proposal to be consistent with the Design Permit regulations, including the application of the Downtown Design Review District guidelines, the Commission could approve the Design Permit with or without the conditions. If the Commission finds the proposal is consistent the applicable regulations and guidelines, staff would recommend the following conditions of approval: B. Table C. Denial 1. Only one wall sign shall be permitted. The wall sign shall contain the name of the business with no secondary information, including contact information. The sign colors shall be complimentary to the building colors. 2. Only one sidewalk sign shall be permitted. The sidewalk sign shall conform to the City's Sidewalk Sign policy and should be designed in colors consistent with the building signage. 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. If the Heritage Preservation Commission finds that the application is not complete enough to make a decision, it could continue the review for additional information. If the Heritage Preservation Commission finds the proposal is not consistent with the Design Permit regulations and the Downtown Design Review District guidelines, the Commission could deny the application. The Commission should indicate a reason for the denial and state whether or not the denial is with prejudice. FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATION The proposed design and colors of the structure generally conforms to the intent of the Downtown Design Review District guidelines. With certain conditions, the signage can conform to the standards for Design Permits and the Downtown Design Review District guidelines. Therefore, staff would recommend conditional approval of HPC Case No. 2017-39 for a Design Permit for Stillwater Segways.

The owners of Stillwater Segway Tours have successfully operated guided Segway tours for the past four years in the communities of Sheridan Wyoming and Grand Marais, Minnesota. We take great pride in providing hands on training to ensure the safety of our riders and fellow residents of the community. Our tour business , training and guided tours are performed by my wife and myself and may incorporate another family member this upcoming season. The business will only provide guided Segway tours there will be no unguided rentals of Segway's. The business currently has seven (7) Segway Personal Transports (PT's). This allows one (1) Segway for the guide and up to six (6) guests. There isn't any plan to expand the number of Segway's and our experience indicates that most tours have four (4) guests. We find that one to six guests is very manageable and poses very little congestion, as guests are required to travel single file. Our tours will occupy pathways, sidewalks and street crossings. Attached are the tour routes that we propose to use. There will be little, if any Segway traffic on the main business sidewalks as shown. Tours will feature a tour to and over the St. Croix Crossing Bridge, a tour of the historic Stillwater B&B's and possibly a tour on the Brown's Creek Pathway. Stillwater Segway Tours will initially offer tours Thursday through Sunday, although services may be expanded to daily. Stillwater Segway Tours will have a Web Page and for the convenience of our guest this on line site will have a tour reservation mechanism. We will also welcome walk up business, capacity permitting. Stillwater Segway Tours will be a seasonal business operating from approximately April 1, 2018 to October 30, 2018. Tour times are tentatively scheduled at 10AM, 12:30PM and 3PM. The seasonal business may also offer for sale tour tee shirts, sweatshirts, Stillwater related throws and other business related items. I thought it might be helpful to state an excerpt from Minnesota State Law.: 169.212 Operation of Electrical Personal Assistive Mobility Devices Subdivision 1. Rights and Responsibilities of Pedestrians Except as otherwise provided by law, a person operating an electrical personal assistive devise has the rights and responsibilities of a pedestrian. Subdivision 2. Operation (a) An electrical personal assistive mobility devise may be operated on a bicycle path. Minnesota State Law has also defined the Segway as a personal assistive mobility devise and further classifies the Segway as a non -motorized vehicle. Our base of operation would be operated from a gazebo that we currently own. The Gazebo is manufactured by Allen and Roth and is in the photos and drawing (Attachment B). The pictured gazebo would be utilized to accommodate our tour guests for tour transactions and related paperwork. The gazebo would also offer shelter from the weather, when needed. The gazebo has a steel frame that supports a polyester roof and side curtains. The frame would be anchored by weights at each of the four steel legs. The gazebo dimensions are 10' X 12' and the roof enter is 11'6" high. Also pictured is the option of closing or partially closing the curtains as necessary. The gazebo would be placed so that it would not impede any pedestrian or vehicle movement. Nothing would be stored in the gazebo outside of business hours. In addition to the gazebo we request a site for our cargo trailer , the cargo trailer is used for Segway storage and recharging purposes (see attachment C). As indicated in the drawing on attachment A, the trailer location would allow for easy access to electricity. The electric box, circuit breaker and connecting electric cord in the trailer have been inspected and approved by the Minnesota Cook County electrical inspector. The trailer is wood framed with a silver aluminum exterior. The trailer dimensions are 6' X 12'. When needed the trailers rear door drops down for easy on and off loading. The trailer would not be visible from Main St. if the back panel of the gazebo were closed. The placement of the trailer would not block sidewalk access or any entrance or exit of the building and would not impede pedestrian or vehicle movement. This seasonal business would not require any water or trash containment. Attachment A DiA5rPyvi 12: gAzzez Attachment A STILLWATER SEGWAY TOURS Universa!

ZONING: RB-Two Family COMP PLAN DISTRICT: LMDR-Low/Medium Density PREPARED BY: Abbi Jo Wittman, City Planner BACKGROUND At the Commission's last regularly scheduled meeting, the Commission considered a Design Permit request from Bruggeman Builders for the future construction of a new home to be located at XXX Linden Street West, in the Neighborhood Conservation District. At the meeting the Commission determined the proposed design was not consistent with the NCD guideline #15: Design and detail new construction as four-sided architecture. The Commission directed the applicant to modify the plans to not only address updated trim detail on all four sides but also adding windows on the side elevations. The Commission also made recommendations for incorporation that included the adding of a water table band and trim to run between the windows. UPDATED PLANS The applicant has submitted updated plans which include the addition of soffit and corner trim boards on all four sides of the home. The plans also include the addition of a second XXX Linden Street West February 20, 2018 HPC HPC Case No. 2017-40 Page 2 of 3 story window on each of the east and west facades. The east facade window is located in a bathroom where the west facade window is located in the master bedroom. The window shape and size differ from one another and those found on the front and rear of the home. PUBLIC COMMENT As of the date of memo development, the City had not received any public comments. ALTERNATIVES A. Approval If the Heritage Preservation Commission finds the proposed application meets standards set forth in the Neighborhood Conservation District, the HPC should move to approve Case No. 2017-40 with or without the following conditions. 1. Plans shall be consistent with those submitted to the Community Development Department and found on file with HPC Case No. 2017-40, except as modified by conditions. 2. The applicant shall side the residence on all four sides with the same material and not show exposed foundation above what is customary for building code. 3. Lap siding shall contain a 5" gap or less. 4. Corner boards shall be required on all four sides. 5. All lighting shall be downlit or shielded as to have zero lumens at the lot lines. 6. A building permit shall be obtained prior to the construction of the home. 7. A landscaping plan, to include tree replacement, shall be submitted at the time of the building permit. All significant trees removed shall be replaced 1:1. 8. The driveway shall be improved with concrete or asphalt, in conformance with City Code Section 33-5. 9. 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. Table If the Heritage Preservation finds that the application is not complete enough to make a decision, it could continue the review for additional information. C. Denial FINDINGS If the Heritage Preservation finds the proposal is not consistent with the, the Commission could deny the application. The Commission should indicate a reason for the denial and state whether or not the denial is with prejudice. The updated plans further represent the applicant's narrative to carry trim detail on all four sides of the home. The windows, while not consistent in shape and size, do help contribute to more four sided design as these areas were previously proposed to be blank. RECOMMENDATION XXX Linden Street West February 20, 2018 HPC HPC Case No. 2017-40 Page 3 of 3 Staff finds HPC Case No. 2017-40 is in substantial conformance with the guidelines set forth for the Neighborhood Conservation District.

Regular Planning Department Development Application Form Stillwater Conservation District Design Guidelines (p2of2) NJC Holdings LLC December 14, 2017 To City of Stillwater: XXX West Linden Street Stillwater, MN 55082 We are proposing to build a modest sized 2-story home with 3 bedrooms and an attached 2 car garage on the lot that is currently zoned for a single-family home. The existing lot which is approximately 56 feet by 100 feet or lot size of 5,600 square feet allows us to build a 1400 square foot home. Our proposed plan includes 1616 square feet of structural coverage and 850 square feet of impervious surface, equaling a total coverage of 2466 square feet. Our goal is to build an architecturally pleasing home that fits into the style and flavor of the neighborhood. This area of Stillwater is a little unique in that one of the homes along side of this lot was built in the 1960s while the home on the other side was built in the early 1900s and across the street is an old school. We broadened our neighborhood search and came up with this plan that we feel fits into the flare and feel of several blocks around this lot. We believe this is a functional home that works well with the lot. If this variance is granted the proposed house plan will not alter nor detract from the current essential character of the neighborhood, but rather it will an extremely compatible addition enhancing the current architectural character and flare of the neighborhood.

TA condition of approval was that the applicant would bring back a sign plan, a lighting plan and a patio/outdoor dining plan for HPC review and approval prior to the issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy. REQUEST The applicant is requesting approval of a Design Permit for a sign plan, lighting plan and patio/outdoor dining plan for the Joseph Wolf block of parcels and buildings located at 402 North Main Street. The applicant is proposing the following for Heritage Preservation Commission consideration: 1. A comprehensive sign plan for the property. The sign plan includes: a. One wall sign. The single, 42 square foot wall sign will be located on the backside of the elevated patio area. The 3.5' tall by 12' long sign will be constructed from reclaimed wood and will have 24" gold, pin mounted letters to read "Lora", the name of the hotel. The sign will have a gold casement. The sign is proposed to be lit. No lighting fixtures have been proposed. b. Three projecting signs (listed from North to South). i. A 2' tall by 3' wide lit projecting sign. The engraved and painted wood sign will read "The Long Goodbye" with "Libations and Salutations" and "Stillwater, MN" underneath. The sign will have a weathered brass casement. The sign will project approximately 4.5' from the building. No lighting fixtures have been proposed. ii. A 2X2' square lit projecting sign. The burnt wood sign, with knockouts will read "Feller" in Gold. The sign will have a weathered core -ten casement. The sign will project approximately 3.5' from the building. No lighting fixtures have been proposed. iii. A 2' diameter, lit circle projecting sign. The sign will be laser cut black metal and white washed wood and will read "Made Coffee". The sign will project approximately 3.5' from the building. No lighting fixtures have been proposed. c. Window signage. Window signage, so long as it does not exceed 1/3 of each window's area, does not require review and approval by the HPC. However, details of proposed window signage has been included. 2. An exterior lighting plan which includes the installation of three, first floor outdoor sconces that will be (approximately) 12" tall. They will contain an aluminum plate with a clear, incandescent bubble bulb. There will also be three, third floor outdoor sconces in a similar design but will be (approximately) 9" tall. 3. The applicant is proposing several different types of tables and chairs to provide for outdoor dining and relaxing. These accommodations will be enclosed by black planters, the Lora sign and railings. The middle, nonhistoric infill portion of the site is proposed to have crawling vines. APPLICABLE REGULATIONS AND STANDARDS Any remodeling, repair or alteration (including paint color) that will change the exterior appearance of a heritage preservation site necessitates a Site Alteration Permits. The permit review standards for a Site Alteration Permit are found in City Code Sec 22-7, Subd 6(3), which is attached for Commission review. The following guideline is most applicable to these site changes: Contemporary design for alterations and additions shall not be discouraged when such alterations and additions do not destroy significant historical, architectural or cultural material and such design is compatible with the size, scale, color, material and character of the property, neighborhood or environment. FINDINGS City Code Sec 22-7, Subd 7 identifies three findings that need to be made in order to approve a Site Alteration Permit. They are reproduced and analyzed below. Alterations or additions to an existing building must not materially impair the architectural or historic value of the building. These findings should consider the existing The proposed signage is not only consistent with the Zoning Code but also conforms to the Downtown Design Review District (District) guidelines which encourage signage ' A Site Alteration Permit is a sub -type of the Design Permit (Sec 31-209 (c)(1)). But, the Site Alteration Permit has more exacting review standards (Sec. 22-7, Subd 6(3)) than a routine Design Permit. 402 North Main HPC Case 2018-04 February 21, 2018 HPC Page 2 structures and exterior appearances, building height, building width, depth or other dimensions, roof style, type of building materials, ornamentation and paving setback. that naturally fits to the site. All four signs are made of materials consistent with traditional materials in the downtown core. The lighting proposed is minimal. The metal sconce and bubble bulb are reminiscent of historic lighting fixtures. The outdoor patio materials will not impair the architecture integrity of the site. When compared to the District guidelines, the overall patio plan achieves the goals to "define space and direct views" as well as to "provide visual screening". While the applicant is proposing to utilize crawling vines on the structure, it is to cover the nonhistoric site elements. ALTERNATIVES The HPC has several alternatives related to this request. A. Approve. If the proposed application meets the Site Alteration Permit standards, the HPC should move to approve Case No. 2018-04. Staff would recommend the following minimum condition for approval. a. No signs shall be installed prior to the issuance of a Sign Permit for each sign. b. 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 Site Alteration Permit standards, and the 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, a denial with prejudice 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 the March, 2018 meeting. RECOMMENDATION Staff finds the application is consistent with the Site Alteration Permit standards and recommends conditional approval of HPC Case No. 2018-04 for a Design Permit for signage, lighting and outdoor patio/ dining at 402 Main Street North. 402 North Main HPC Case 2018-04 February 21, 2018 HPC Page 3 ATTACHMENTS Signage Plans (13 pages) Elevations (2 pages) Lighting Patio Plan City Code Section 22-7, Sub. 6(3): Site Alteration Permits 402 North Main HPC Case 2018-04 February 21, 2018 HPC Page 4 7his.

PURPOSE OF REQUEST The City of Stillwater (Stillwater), in coordination with its Heritage Preservation Commission (HPC), is seeking proposals from consultants to update the City of Stillwater's 2040 Comprehensive Plan Historic Resources chapter. B. OBJECTIVE OF THIS RFP The objective of this Request for Proposals (RFP) is to obtain proposals from, and enter into contract with, a qualified Responder(s) to perform the tasks and services set forth in this RFP. The term of any resulting contract is anticipated to run from February 15 through July 31, 2018. C. BACKGROUND Stillwater Comprehensive Planning Comprehensive Plans are the guiding document for the future growth and development of a community. Minnesota communities are required to plan for twenty years, while revisiting their adopted plans every decade. Adopted in 2010, the City of Stillwater's (City) Comprehensive Plan (CP) is a multifaceted document aimed at guiding the growth and development of the community through the year 2030. In addition to focusing on Metropolitan Council required chapters such as land use, transportation, housing and natural resources, the City's CP includes a chapter exclusively dedicated to historic resources. Stillwater's CP Historic Resources (HR) chapter is unique as it is not common for Minnesota communities to have included such focus in their comprehensive or master plans. While the update to the CP is required by the Metropolitan Council, the HR chapter is not required to be updated. However, the local government understands and values its role in protecting community heritage for future generations. As it has been 25 years since the City has formally developed and adopted a preservation plan, the City has allocated funding for and accounted personnel time to the CP HR chapter update to be conducted in conjunction and coordination with the full CP update. The Metropolitan Council often cites the City's CP HR chapter as a model for other communities. However, much of the CP HR chapter is a status and summary report, rarely referenced by the Stillwater Heritage Preservation Commission (HPC), other appointed and elected officials, or community members and organizations. As a result, the Stillwater HPC is distant from the current plan and preservation policies are not included in all public and private planning and development projects. With this in mind, it is the intent of the HPC to overhaul the 2040 CP HR chapter to better serve as the community's preservation plan. RFP: Stillwater 2040 CP Historic Resources Chapter Update, Page 3 Stillwater Preservation Planning Historic preservation policies, goals and objectives have been included in Stillwater's comprehensive plan since 1961 when "numerous stately residences, many of historical significance" were identified as a strength of the community. That plan called for an increase preservation and restoration efforts, noting the challenge of a clear understanding of how this could be accomplished within the community. The 1979 Plan update echoed the earlier plans sentiments indicating over 90% of people surveyed indicating "historical quaintness is desired," and that the community "clearly indicate[d] a very strong interest in historical preservation and restoration." However, the plan noted "...there is no overall, coordinated and directed historic preservation plan or implementation program." Stillwater's ambiguity of how to best plan for preservation led to the development of the Comprehensive Planning Approach to Historic Preservation in 1993. Calling for the development of 16 Historic Preservation Planning Areas (HPPA), the HPC began the process of conducting reconnaissance level surveys of these HPPAs for preliminary determination of architectural integrity and historical significance in relationship to ten identified periods of significance. Stillwater's 1995 Comprehensive Plan noted "[i]n Stillwater historic preservation is at the heart of community character and its importance is reflected in past City efforts." This plan was written and adopted shortly after the formation of the Stillwater Heritage Preservation Commission, designation as a Certified Local Government in 1988, the National Register listing of the Stillwater Commercial Historic District (#920000288), and the development of the city's first preservation plan. These were high profile projects in the community. Although much of these most significant efforts were conducted in partnership with other community and civic organizations, it has been the local government that has remained consistent throughout all endeavors. Between 1996 and 2006 the HPC conducted ten reconnaissance level surveys which directly led to the creation of the Stillwater Heirloom Homes and Landmark Sites program, a National Alliance of Preservation Commission awarded program designed to recognize historic properties in the community. The research conducted in these surveys and within the program directly led to three HPC created audio-visual walking tour programs. From actively participating in the designation of the Stillwater Commercial Historic District and one dozen National Register listed structures to the development of a Neighborhood Conservation District and implementation of a comprehensive demolition ordinance, the Stillwater HPC has continuously progressed as a leader in local government preservation in Minnesota. Whether residents and the general public are conscious of it or not, it is with some of these past preservation efforts that have preserved Stillwater's community character through the turn of the last century. The Current Community Climate While older residents are more knowledgeable of the historical work of the HPC and the efforts of other local preservation organizations, such as Rivertown Restoration, the RFP: Stillwater 2040 CP Historic Resources Chapter Update, Page 4 City's newer residents, as well as appointed and elected officials, lack understanding of preservation related issues and concerns. As Stillwater's population has shifted, there are clear misconception of what community preservation means and how Stillwater has retained the community character that is such a predominant attractant to, and contributor of, Stillwater's quality of life. Community growth and commodity housing, the desire to live in Stillwater (but not in an old home), as well as lack of financing assistance has proven to be threats to Stillwater's historic and cultural resources. It is anticipated that this proactive planning process will bring new light the HPC, educating its members, elected officials, and the general community of the HPC's history and past activities. While residents and visitors have looked to the City and its HPC to help protect and preserve Stillwater's community character, the HPC also aims to incorporate newer community members into this planning process with the purpose of increasing local education efforts. As the HPC and its consultant work to update the CP HR chapter, a volunteer committee will be formed to actively participate in the update process and help engage the general public. The volunteer committee will be composed of members of the 2040 CP committee, residential and commercial property owners, downtown business owners, members of the local historical society and preservation organizations, as well as individuals having an interest in local history and historic preservation. It is the aim of the HPC to include a diversity of individuals who may not actively be involved in the preservation community with the hope that new preservation leaders will emerge as part of this planning process. The expected effect will be a community conversation as to how future preservation efforts are balanced with the rights and responsibilities of individual property owners, an increase in general awareness of government's role in community preservation, and identification of the HPC's role in the community's responsibility to implement long- range efforts to address local preservation issues. With increased education on the value and importance of preservation, community partners that will be able to aid the HPC, and a clear plan for preservation in the future, a goal of this update is that preservation efforts will be at the forefront of Stillwater's future growth and a systematic approach to long-range preservation efforts will guide the community as a whole. Summary Nicknamed the "Birthplace of Minnesota", Stillwater has taken pride in its ability to carry out (sometimes nontraditional) preservation efforts successfully. Developed in 1918 by Morell & Nichols, Stillwater's first community plan indicated the authors "...have kept in mind not the Stillwater of today but the Stillwater of the future" and that plan implementation would "make Stillwater what is was destined to be." The Stillwater HPC has a history of deliberate preservation planning and implementing planning objectives in a thoughtful and pragmatic manner. With (nearly) a century of comprehensive planning efforts past, the new HR chapter of the 2040 CP will guide community preservation strategies, goals and objectives for the next two decades. It RFP: Stillwater 2040 CP Historic Resources Chapter Update, Page 5 will not only be a reflection of the past and a foundation for today and serve, but it will help ensure the preservation of community historical and cultural resources is at the forefront of the Stillwater of tomorrow.

Heritage Preservation Commission Training Program RFP, Page 12 lUwater The Birthplace of Minnesota CITY OF STILLWATER 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN HISTORIC RESOURCES CHAPTER REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS ADDENDA January 29, 2018 INQUIRY RESPONSE Volunteer Committee What is the status of the Volunteer Committee? Has it been formed or is it still being formed? How will it interact with the CP 2040 Committee? The volunteer committee is still in formation. Heritage Preservation Commission and City staff have determined a group of individuals that may desire serving on the committee. City staff will be inquiring of their interest this week. Additionally, a call for volunteers will be made over social media platforms this week. City staff anticipates having a list of volunteers for the HPC review on February 21st. The recommended committee members will be approved by the City Council on March 6, 2018. It is not anticipated the volunteer committee will interact with the CP 2040 Committee. City staff will serve as a liaison between the two committees. However, during periods of public engagement activities, committee members from both groups may be asked to participate. Site Visits Is there a minimum or maximum required number of site visits? There are no minimum or maximum number of site visits required. However, site visits will be necessary to ensure the consultant is working with the Stillwater HPC and its volunteer committee. CP 2040 Consultant Can you further clarify the role of Hoisington Koegler Group in the process? Is it primarily for public engagement opportunities in regard to the Historic Resources Chapter? Hoisington Koegler has been retained to update the City's Comprehensive Plan, less certain chapters (including the historic resources chapter). Staff anticipates the 2040 CP HR chapter update consultant will communicate with Hoisington Koegler and coordinate activities where appropriate and applicable. While Hoisington Koegler will conduct public engagement activities for the 2040 Comp Plan, it will be up to the 2040 CP HR chapter update consultant and City staff to determine and develop appropriate preservation -related content and materials for engagement activities.

PROPOSAL CONTENTS Project Experience Understanding historic buildings is not new to us; Collaborative Design Group has built a reputation for our expertise in this context. We are recognized for our work in historic preservation, existing building assessment, adaptive reuse, and architectural, structural, interior, and roofing design. Our expertise in these areas has compelled clients throughout the region to seek out CDG. We have learned through our experience that it is vital to understand the building, its construction and its human history to be able to effectively breathe new life into it. This includes a thoughtful assessment of the building function, performance, past failures, how the building was used in the past, and how the building will be used in the future. In addition to Architecture and Interior Design, Collaborative Design Group pro- vides in-house forensic building analysis, structural engineering, and historic preservation. Our Building Sci- ence Group can help identify issues to allow our clients to cost effectively manage their projects. These structures are a tremendous resource from the stand point of sustainable design and are integral to our sense of place. CDG has a deep understanding of the impact of using historic buildings to reenergize streets, neighborhoods, and cities. The following project examples illustrate CDG's experience providing historic preservation, restoration engi- neering, and architectural and interior design services to historic structures.

The downtown area features well-preserved Itali- anate storefronts of local brick and limestone with impressive architectural details. In an era when malls and highways were unknown, Faribault's downtown welcomed both commerce and celebration. Collaborative Design Group authored the Downtown Historic Development Guidelines as a handbook for owners of property located within the Downtown Historic District. The guidelines answer questions about proper improvements or repairs to their buildings, including treatments for windows and doors, awnings, signs, and painted or deteriorat- ing masonry. Visual examples are provided through illustrations. This guide is part of a continuing effort to encourage downtown building improvements. Thirty conceptual design images were developed for existing downtown historic buildings. CITY OF STILLWATER Development of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan Historic Resources Chapter Proposal MUSEUM ISTORIC SITES UNIVERSAL DESIGN STUDY inciples of I Design JAMES J. KUU HOUSE Minnesota Historical Society Universal Design Guidelines Various Locations Minnesota Historical Society com- missioned Collaborative Design Group to complete a Universal Design Study for the purpose of fully understanding and promot- ing accessibility at their museums and historic sites. The compre- hensive survey is meant to be translated to all of the Society's sites. Five case study sites were selected for the Study: Fort Snel- ling, James J. Hill House, Minne- sota History Center, Oliver Kelley Farm, and Split Rock Lighthouse. The assessment of each property began with a study of the site's location and how it relates to its built and geographic surround- ings. First, the property's context was researched, then the plans of the buildings, outbuildings, and those portions of the sites accessi- ble to visitors were reviewed. The review team also spent time on each site during representative events and seasons, with par- ticular attention to observations during times when the patron mix skewed to elderly and family visitors. These visits allowed the team to watch how the buildings, exhibits, gathering spaces, and outdoor areas were used by a wide range of patron types. Throughout the assessment pro- cess, care was given to keeping Historic Fort ADA Parking for Historic Fort Building 18 - currently not in use Building 17 - currently not in use Visitor Center ADA Parking for Visitor Center Main parking lot Key • • • Site Perimeter Entry Points Highway Access the historic fabric of the proper- ties intact. The evaluation of a proposed change to a site is based on a balance between the benefits to patrons and staff versus the potential disruption to historic integrity. Once an as- sessment was completed for the five sites, the information was reviewed for typical and site specific universal design issues. By using Universal Design criteria, recommendations were devel- oped for both typical and site specific issues. For the purposes of planning, the recommenda- tions were assigned budgeting figures.

PROPOSAL CONTENTS Project Experience Madison Downtown Historic Survey Madison, South Dakota South Dakota Department of Edu- cation's Division of History retained Collaborative Design Group to complete a reconnaissance -level architectural survey of downtown Madison, South Dakota. The goal was to provide an analysis of each building within the down- town historic district to determine which structures may be eligible for historic documentation. CDG surveyed every building from the public right-of-ways and has provided community en- gagement to educate the public about the project and has ana- lyzed the downtown buildings. Ongoing work includes providing historical and current conditions data for the State's inventory. The resulting survey will help iden- tify properties that are eligible for the National Register of Historic Places and will serve as a plan- ning tool by the State and City of Madison. New survey forms are being completed and existing forms are being updated. These survey forms will be submitted to the State Historic Preservation Offce (SHPO) online database. Pi CITY OF STILLWATER 1 Development of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan Historic Resources Chapter Proposal Carleton College Campus Assessments & Restoration Plan Northfield, Minnesota Each year, Collaborative Design Group reviews the condition of the envelopes of all of the major buildings on the Carleton Col- lege campus and compiles a report that encompasses 35 of the institution's buildings, many of which are historic. The report summarizes the estimated costs and recommendations for re- pairs to masonry, roofing, gut- ters, windows, doors, steps, and waterproofing of the campus's buildings, and also includes ob- servations, photos, discussion of current conditions, and summary list of the top 10 buildings with highest priorities CDG works closely with the College to understand their annual budget, schedule, and unique priorities. We take this information and utilize the re- sults gathered from the Campus assessment report to develop a maintenance plan that ad- dresses which restorations should be undertaken during the follow- ing summer's construction season and which projects should be projected out to the future. This plan is crucial to Carleton's plan- ning efforts as it not only helps them understand their needs and priorities, but tells them how to al- locate their available funds. Following the completion of the report and plan, CDG then completes restoration drawings and provides construction ad- ministration for the projects. CDG has helped restore or renovate nearly every historic building on campus, work that has included improvements to the building envelope, roofs, and interiors. Ch.

PROPOSAL CONTENTS Project Experience Fort Snelling Master Plan, Assessment, and Restoration Projects St. Paul, Minnesota CDG has been involved with nearly every building on the Fort Snelling campus within the past decade, preparing Condition Survey Reports for all of the historic buildings and the Visitors Center (16 buildings total), a predesign study for the reusing the former Calvary Barracks into the Fort Snel- ling Museum, a site master plan, and schematic design for the reuse of the multiple Upper Post buildings for a charter school. Master Plan CDG assembled teams that stud- ied the facilities and visitor experi- ence at the Fort. The Facilities Planning team studied the struc- tures and the site itself, while the Visitor Planning team researched the market and amenities that will draw and benefit visitors. Both teams worked in conjunction with the Historical Society's Program- ming Team to create a renewed facility that answers visitor needs at the Fort and enhances their historic experience. Upper Mississippi Academy CDG provided planning and schematic design concepts for the restoration and reuse of 9 buildings at Fort Snelling's Upper Post for a new K-12 charter school. Buildings 17 and 18 CDG assessed the exterior condi- tion of Buildings 17 and 18, outlin- ing the scope and costs associat- ed with the work recommended.

Chris Faust, photographer DEVELOPMENT OF THE HISTORIC RESOURCES CHAPTER 2040 STILLWATER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Submitted to the City of Stillwater by Landscape Research LLC 765 Hampden Avenue #315 Saint Paul, Minnesota 55114 Contact: Carole Zellie czellie@landscaperesearch.net (612) 616-5353 February 2, 2018 L R LANDSCAPE RESEARCH Cultural Resource Managemen February 1, 2018 TO: Abbi Jo Wittman, City Planner Stillwater City Hall Stillwater, MN 55082 FROM: Carole Zellie, Principal Landscape Research LLC Landscape Research is pleased to submit this proposal for development of the updated Historic Resources Chapter of the Stillwater 2040 Comprehensive Plan. Stillwater commands a unique and important Saint Croix River setting and excellent studies have documented its historic and cultural resources as well as the community's successful efforts to preserve them. This project will provide the City, the Heritage Preservation Commission (HPC), and the community with a solid foundation and re -energized vision for the integration of preservation planning with land use planning and future growth. After analyzing current preservation approaches, we will draft goals, priorities, and strategies with the engagement of City staff, the HPC, the Volunteer Committee, the Comprehensive Plan consultant, and the wider community. Following approval of the goals and priorities, the development of the Historic Resources Chapter will ensure that efforts to preserve the city's unique setting and historic resources are integrated with economic development and sustainability as well as ongoing education and outreach. We understand that Stillwater hopes to develop new preservation leaders as part of this effort. Our project team, led by firm Principals Carole Zellie and Amy Lucas, has decades of successful experience with preservation planning projects in Minnesota communities. In the 1990s Landscape Research completed preservation plans in cities such as St. Paul, Hastings, and Northfield, and have since updated them with surveys and other studies. Ordinance and design guidelines preparation, community education programs and commission training have been part of this work. The principals' previous experience as planning staff in Saint Paul (PED) and Minneapolis (CPED) has been useful in these efforts. Our firm often partners with planning and design teams, including those for the Minnehaha-Hiawatha Corridor (Hennepin County and HKgi), the Saint Paul Grand Round (SEH), and the Fort Snelling Upper Post (Stonebrooke). As noted in this proposal, our knowledge of Stillwater's historic resources includes past projects such as the Stillwater Cultural Landscape District (2011). We have had the opportunity to conduct historical research, review many past studies conducted for the City and Washington County, and observe current preservation planning issues. We look forward to discussing our approach and ideas for the Historic Resources Chapter in more detail. 765 Hampden Avenue #315 St. Paul, MN 55114 (651) 641-1230 1 (612) 616-5353 cell www.landscaperesearch.net A. CONSULTANT QUALIFICATIONS 1. Firm Organization and Experience Landscape Research LLC provides cultural resource consulting services to communities, planning agencies, architecture and engineering firms, and other private and institutional clients. Founded in 1976, our primary focus is Minnesota. We also have project experience throughout the Upper Midwest and New England. We collaborate with city staff, heritage preservation commissions, volunteer boards, state and federal agencies, and other consultants in the successful completion of our projects. Planning for many types of nineteenth- and twentieth-century historic landscapes and buildings is at the core of our diverse experience. This experience includes historic district evaluations and preservation plans and design guidelines. Local designation and National Register nomination studies, environmental impact and Section 106 compliance studies, federal and state historic tax credit applications, historic structure and landscape reports, and educational and interpretive planning are also part of our services. Our work follows the Secretary of the Interior's Guidelines for Preservation Planning and state and local planning frameworks. Project Team Our project team, led by principals Carole Zellie and Amy Lucas, has successful experience working with Minnesota communities with many aspects of preservation planning. We have completed or contributed to preservation plans for cities such as Saint Paul, Minneapolis, Hastings, and Northfield, and have continued to update them with surveys and other studies. Ordinance and design guidelines preparation, public education programs and commission training have been part of continuing relationships. The principals' previous experience as staff in the Saint Paul PED and Minneapolis CPED has provided a foundation for our current work. As a Preservation Planner in Minneapolis, Amy wrote the preservation chapter for The Minneapolis Plan (2000), as well as technical review of the Downtown East -North Loop Master Plan (2003). Our team often partners with planning and design firms on transportation projects, including transportation projects for Hiawatha Avenue (Hennepin County and HKGi) and the North Loop of the Saint Paul Grand Round (SEH), and the Blue Line (HDR). Our in-depth knowledge of Stillwater includes historic context development for Washington County (2000), and Minnesota Department of Transportation studies including the National Register nomination for the Bergstein Shoddy Mill and Warehouse (2007), and the Documentation of the Stillwater Cultural Landscape District (2011). In 2017, Amy Lucas provided short-term staff support for the Heritage Preservation Commission's permit review process. 2.

Related Projects and References Minneapolis Minnehaha-Hiawatha Corridor (2009) In 2007-2009 Landscape Research provided evaluation of the Minnehaha-Hiawatha corridor as part of a land use and urban design study conducted by HKgi for Hennepin County Housing, Community Works and Transit. In addition to conducting a Phase I inventory of the corridor and intensive context development, Landscape Research introduced the project at several community workshops and meetings with business owners. Carol Anderson Project Manager Hennepin County Housing, Community Works and Transit carol.anderson@hennepin.us St. Anthony Parkway Bridge (2014) In 2014, as consultant to the Public Works Department and coordinating with SEH, Landscape Research led the cultural resource component of the St. Anthony Parkway Bridge Planning project. The multi - component plan for replacement of the historic bridge and design of an interpretive plaza included a one-year neighborhood planning process led by SEH. (See http://www.stapbridge.com/) Ole Mersinger, PE Bridge Engineer City of Minneapolis Public Works Department Ole.Mersinger@minneapolismn.gov Northfield Preservation Plan (1994) and Downtown Historic District Study (2016) Northfield created its Downtown Historic District in the late 1970s and the Heritage Preservation Commission has since guided design review more than one hundred buildings. In 1990-4 Landscape Research conducted a city-wide inventory, and produced the Northfield Preservation Plan. More than twenty years later, the new Downtown Historic District Study (2016) involved revisiting the National Register and local documentation for the district and creating a new database and inventory forms. The final report recommended revisions to district boundaries and property classifications. Meetings with City staff, the HPC, and the community updated project progress and launched the next phase of the city's preservation plan.

Marvin Planning Consultants received our RFP via Mr. Larry Sommer which was on the City's list. Mr. Sommer felt that this proposal would be best led by a firm as opposed to an individual consultant. However, our team has brought Larry on board as one of our critical team members. The team put together for this submittal has a great deal of experience in planning, historic preservation, the Secretary of the Interiors Guidelines, and real - life preservation techniques and procedures. Besides our individual experience, our team members have worked and are currently working together on preservation related projects.

Marvin Planning Consultants is a community planning firm organized for the purpose of providing cost-effective, common sense, yet Innovative planning solutions to communities and counties. The firm is located in David City, NE, a community of nearly 3,000 people and within 30-minutes of several major transportation routes within the Midwest. Keith and MPC will be joined by Mr. Larry Sommer during this project. Mr. Sommer has been directly involved in historic preservation his entire professional career.

Hull shortly thereafter retired and Berggren was left to carry on the firm. The first project successfully captured by this the new firm was the restoration of the Post Granary Building at the site of historic Fort Robinson in western Nebraska. This milestone is the foundation of a long-term relationship with the Nebraska State Historical Society and its State Historic Preservation Office. The "1983 Jobs Bill" was the milestone which introduced the firm to its most significant building type, the Historic County Courthouse. A project to improve the thermal efficiency of the windows at the Johnson County Courthouse in Tecumseh also initiated concern for energy conservation and an ongoing commitment to sustainable design. Also in 1986 Charles "Chuck" Woll and Berggren came together to create Berggren & Woll Architects. While growth and expansion of the firm was the plan, that was not to be due to Mr. Woll's untimely death from cancer in 1991. Recovery from the loss of Berggen's friend and partner was slow but methodical. We continued to serve Nebraska's county clients and in 2002 our project to restore the Fillmore County Courthouse was the Recipient of an Honors Award from the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Berggren Architects have provided historic preservation consulting for several other architectural firms both in and out of state. That demand has led to opening our first branch office in 2016 in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Today, the firm has expanded and employs professionals with expertise in historic preservation, architecture, interior design, sustainability, master planning and more. The future will undoubtedly hold more unexpected opportunities and challenges. We look forward to each of those and you are invited to contact us regarding the architectural challenges you face. 2040 Comprehensive Plan - Historic Resources Chapter - 2018 3 Berggren Architects Firm Profile BERGGREN ARCHITECTS Experience and qualifications of the Firm specifically for historic preservation Berggren Architects will play a supporting role for our team proposing to develop your Historic Preservation Handbook. We have worked with Marvin Planning Consultants many times in the past, throughout Nebraska and its neighboring states. The qualifications we bring to the team are that of an experienced preservation architect (as defined by the National Park Service), Jerry Berggren, AIA, and an experienced architectural historian/preservation historian, Janet Jeffries. Please review their attached resumes for a detailed account of their qualifications and experience. Of particular interest, with regards to this project, is Jerry's more than 40 years of experience preserving and restoring structures across Nebraska, following the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation. A review of the Berggren Architects' website, http://www.berggrenarchitects.com/ will illustrate his experience with all forms of structures including municipal and privately -owned buildings, residential, commercial, institutional and agricultural structures. Virtually all of his clients' structures are eligible for listing, or are on the National Register of Historic Places. In addition to working with the Standards and the review process administered by the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), he also served as a Commissioner on the Lincoln/Lancaster County Historic Preservation Commission for nearly 20 years. Jerry is currently serving as the preservation consultant for the master planning project for the area immediately surrounding the Nebraska State Capitol. For more than 25 years he has been serving as an historic building assessor for Heritage Preservation of Washington D.C. Last year, Heritage Preservation's responsibilities were transferred to the Foundation of the American Institute for Conservation (FAIC), where Jerry continues to provide his expertise. Janet's unique qualifications with regards to your project include serving as an architectural historian in the SHPO's office for 13 years as well as serving on the Nebraska State Historic Preservation Board for six years, the last two as its Vice Chair. Janet has been the on -staff architectural historian/preservation historian for Berggren Architects since 1994. While employed by the SHPO and by Berggren Architects, Janet has successfully submitted more than 60 National Register Nominations.

At Berggren Architects, Janet is responsible for creating the Parts 1, 2 & 3 for the State and Federal income tax credits available for our clients who choose to rehabilitate their historic structures. She also prepares all necessary documentation for Nebraska's Value Incentive Program (VIP) for our eligible clients. Both Janet and Jerry are members of the Nebraska State Historical Society and the National Trust for Historic Preservation, along with numerous other preservation related organizations. The responsibilities assigned to Berggren Architects for your project includes many things for which we are well qualified. Among the responsibilities: • Review of the language of the Chapter to ensure it will be "user friendly," • Provide "best practices" examples from our experiences, • Provide examples of cost efficient methods of preservation, restoration and adaptive reuse projects which comply with the Rehabilitation Standards, and • Provide illustrations which help to clearly define the intent of each Rehabilitation Standard. Our experience with projects which have had to follow the Secretary of the Interiors Rehabilitation Standards provide us with unique insight with regard to the Standards' intent and expectations. Our many years of service interpreting and enforcing those Standards while serving on the Boards and Commission provide us with the community's expectations as well. In addition to the expertise provided by Janet and Jerry, Berggren Architects have a staff of talented researchers and illustrators to assist as needed. 4 2040 Comprehensive Plan - Historic Resources Chapter - 2018 MARVIN PLANNING CONSULTANTS Project Management t11watt HE B R T H v L 4 C E OF M i N N E S Q T A Larry Sommer Preservationist Preservation Planner • • Keith Marvin, AICP President Community Planner Project Manager Rian Harkins AICP Community Planner Kyle Smith AICP Community Planner Jerry Berggren AIA Registered Architect Preservation Architect • Janet Jefferies Historian/Preservationist 2040 Comprehensive Plan - Historic Resources Chapter - 2018 5 Project Team MARVIN PLANNING CONSULTANTS .5µxmlr.inp In Munul�rrYCanary alb( .N.,kli,firrwlPlignrrlut Project Manager and Lead Planner Keith will act as the Project Manager and Lead Planner for the City of Stillwater 2040 Comprehensive Plan Historic Resources Chapter.

In 1973, he returned to his native Nebraska and joined a Lincoln based architectural firm. In 1977 he began private practice under his own name.

He has participated in preserving numerous structures around Nebraska and often consults on historic projects in other states. Since the mid 1980t he has participated in the American Institute of Architectt (AIA) Historic Resources Committee and served as its Chair in 1996. His support of historic preservation has included serving on the Lincoln - Lancaster Countyt Historic Preservation Commission for nearly 20 years. Berggrent experience with numerous active historic courthouses in Nebraska was recognized by the Administrative Office of the Nebraska Supreme Court and they recruited him to serve on the committee to update the Nebraska Courts Facility Planning Guidelines and Standards.

The work of the Council was organized and managed by the Nebraska Energy Office with whom he has maintained a lifelong relationship. He served with representatives of the Energy Office and the Nebraska State Historical Society to create the 2001 publication: "Energy Efficiency and Historic Preservation, A Planning Guide for Buildings."

The team will be working with City staff and the Preservation Commission to develop an ordinance meeting the needs of the community. Once the ordinance is developed, the team will then develop a graphic document following the Secretary of the Interior's Guidelines that may be used in directing developers and building owners, as well as the Preservation Commission in the future. The downtown area in the late 1960's, early 1970's, working with the Urban Renewal Program added solid canopies along the front facades of the buildings along Dewey Street. The City is in the process of reversing this physical element. The ordinance, once completed, will be incorporated into the overall zoning ordinance currently being developed by MPC for the City. The entire team is providing key input on all parts of this project.

Ultimately, the project was to develop a set of Architectural Standards for the area in order to entice preservation via the "carrot and stick" approach; the goal was to make it attractive enough for developers and property owners to "want to" comply as opposed to mandating the standards. Partners on the project were the Wichita Downtown Development Corporation and the Kansas State Historic Preservation Office. Issues: • Need for continued historic preservation in the Historic Downtown Environs of Wichita. • Property rights and mandating architectural standards on the current or future property owners.

The Unified Development Code was designed to combine a number of different zoning and development codes into one document. The planning team was led by Keith Marvin AICP during his time with JEO Consulting Group. In addition, the team included Mr. Larry Sommer, Preservationist. Larry's role was strictly to work on the rewrite of the Preservation Ordinance which he had originally draft in the late 1960's; while a planner for the community. There were a number of major issues that needed to be addressed in the new UDC including: • Protection of bluffline along Mississippi River • Historic preservation including updating the Preservation Ordinance • Updating existing Euclidean zoning districts • Signs • Big box developments • Parking standards • Adult entertainment • Subdivision Regulations • Incorporation of sustainability concepts Web Site Location of UDC http://www.cityofdubuque.org/ DocumentView.aspx?DID=1828 Iowa Chapter Of American Planning Association Chapter Award Winner 2010 Excellence Award for Best Practices 2011 winner of the Iowa League of Cities All -Star Community Award for their Unified Development Code Special recognition for Sustainability Client Contact Person: Laura Carstens Planning Director City of Dubuque 563.589.4210 Lcarstens@cityofdubuque.org Project Completed: 2009 * Keith was Lead Planner and Project Manager while with JEO Consulting Group. 20 2040 Comprehensive Plan - Historic Resources Chapter - 2018 11)4 MARVIN PLANNING CONSULTANTS North Platte, Nebraska Downtown Master Plan* North Platte, in 2002, as part of ongoing community redevelopment efforts, began the process of creating a "Vision Plan" for the downtown core. This was the first major focus on the Downtown since the late 1960's and early 1970's during the Urban Renewal Era. The project included a visual survey process asking the public their thoughts on different design issues and opportunities. These were compiled and presented to the committee. Along with this came the discussion of the canopies constructed in the 1960's; should they stay or should they be dismantled and the facades restored. The lead planner on this project was Keith Marvin AICP while he was with JEO Consulting Group. In addition, the team included Berggren Architects. Issues: • Economic development effort focused on downtown area. • Infrastructure analysis. • Streetscape and facade concepts. • A "Vision" for achieving economic development and physical changes in the downtown. • Creating a "Sense of Place" within the downtown area. • Several buildings had their mechanical systems located on the canopies which is the public right- of-way. • Identify and protect potential historic structures. • Incorporate the Main Street concept into the downtown area.

The property has been maintained in excellent condition. In 2016, the present owners retained Berggren Architects' architectural historian Janet Jeffries to research and submit the nomination for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. Janet's research led to many interesting discoveries as well as a wealth of artifacts still present in the structure and/or in storage. The nomination was submitted to the fall review meeting of the State Historical Society's Board of Directors who unanimously approved it for submission to the National Park Service. Early in 2017, the word came back from Washington D.C. that the nomination had been approved and this fine structure is now listed in the Register. Sky Park Manor, currently operating as Sky Park Apartments is the first International Style structure in Nebraska to be listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

Summit Envirosolutions, Inc. 2 2040 Comprehensive Plan Historic Resources Chapter City of Stillwater Section 2 Project Understanding The City of Stillwater, which calls itself the birthplace of Minnesota, is one of the oldest surviving communities in the state. It owes its presence and its longevity to its location on the St. Croix River and the businesses and industries that the river enabled. Due to the prosperity generated by the lumber industry and related businesses, the city developed a notable architectural character in an exceptional scenic setting at the head of Lake St. Croix. As the lumber industry declined in the early twentieth century, other river -based activities, such as recreation and tourism, began to take its place. The expansion of the state highway system with improved roads and the construction of the lift bridge in 1931 helped to bring day trippers and tourists to the community. These trends increased in the years after World War II when the expansion of State Highway 36 made St. Paul and Minneapolis more accessible to those who wanted to live in Stillwater and work in the cities. With decline of the lumber industry in the early twentieth century, the city became increasingly conscious of its historic resources as it began to redevelop its riverfront with Lowell Park. In 1918 the noted Minnesota landscape and planning firm of Morell and Nichols authored "The Plan of Stillwater." When the Metropolitan Council was established in 1968, localities within the five (and later seven) county boundaries were charged with preparing comprehensive plans at 10 to 15 year intervals to guide future planning An earlier comprehensive plan, developed in 1961, was the first to recognize the significance of historic residences and other historic properties in Stillwater. That emphasis on historic resources continued in plans of 1979, 1993, 1995 (for the 2020 Comprehensive Plan), and 2008 (for the 2030 Comprehensive Plan). In the 1970s, the old Washington County Courthouse was saved from demolition and other historic buildings were converted to new uses. The Lower St. Croix National Scenic Riverway was designated in 1972 and expanded south of Stillwater in 1976. The Stillwater Heritage Preservation Commission (HPC) was established in 1980. The Stillwater Commercial Historic District was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1992, and the city adopted its first preservation plan. As the result of preservation priorities identified in previous comprehensive plans, the city has continued to undertake a variety of programs and strategies to recognize and preserve historic properties. These programs have been successful but new approaches are needed as the population of Stillwater has increased and the demographics have shifted. The opening of the St. Croix River Crossing to the south of downtown Stillwater and the incorporation of the historic Lift Bridge into a new recreational trail system is bringing new challenges and opportunities to the city. The goal of this project to evaluate current programs and strategies for their effectiveness and to develop new priorities and strategies for preservation in the context of ongoing planning and development. To be successful, the project will engage newer community members, promote awareness of the HPC and the important role it has played in Summit Envirosolutions, Inc. 3 2040 Comprehensive Plan Historic Resources Chapter City of Stillwater Stillwater, and create opportunities for ongoing education of HPC members, elected officials, and the general community Summit has extensive experience in working with a wide variety of local government entities, including Heritage Preservation Commissions and Landmark Commissions, to undertake survey work, to develop historic contexts and designation studies, and to place local preservation efforts in the context of long-range planning efforts. Summit Envirosolutions, Inc. 4 2040 Comprehensive Plan Historic Resources Chapter City of Stillwater Section 3 Project Work Plan and Schedule Project Approach Summit understands that the 2040 Comprehensive Plan Historic Resources Chapter Project will consist of several components as described in the tasks below. To stay within the project budget and to maintain the requested schedule, Summit will utilize proven research and reporting methods to complete the project efficiently. The Summit team consists of experienced architectural historians who work efficiently and effectively. Communication is an important aspect of this project, and the Summit Project Manager will establish a protocol for regular communication with City staff and the Advisory Committee. In addition to regular telephone and e-mail correspondence, it is anticipated that the Project Manager will submit monthly progress reports, and will attend and facilitate meetings with the project Advisory Committee and public meetings. Work Plan Task 1. Review and research for Historic Resources (HR) Chapter of Comprehensive Plan (CP) 2040 (Inventory) Summit, in consultation with Stillwater HPC and the Advisory Committee, will review Stillwater's preservation history, the inventory of local historic properties (both public and private), HR chapters from previous Comprehensive Plans, and other community plans and policies including HR plans from other municipalities. Summit will coordinate with Hoisington Koegler, the CP 2040 consultant on public participation strategies. This review will inform the work of Task 2 and will form the basis of Proposed Sections 1 through 3: Introduction, Context and Analysis of Current Tools and Conditions, of the 2040 CP HR chapter, to be written in Task 4. It is anticipated that Task 1 may include up to 3 site visits. At least one field trip will be made with HPC representatives and Advisory Committee participants to review local historic properties, both identified and potential. The itinerary will be determined in advance. A site visit for an information gathering session will be held in conjunction with the monthly HPC meeting, either at City Hall or the Stillwater Public Library. Task 2. Draft priorities and strategies for Stillwater preservation efforts. Summit, in consultation with Stillwater HPC and the Advisory Committee, will present the information it has gathered in Task 1 to provide a base line for drafting priorities and strategies for future preservation efforts. We will initially focus on what has worked and is working both in Stillwater and in other localities. We will then turn to what have been identified as preservation priorities in Task 1 and discuss strategies to address future preservation efforts. These may include future historic context development, local Summit Envirosolutions, Inc. 5 2040 Comprehensive Plan Historic Resources Chapter City of Stillwater designations and National Register listings, and identification of previously neglected historic resources such as archeology and properties associated with ethnic and cultural entities. We will also discuss current and proposed educational programs. The work in Task 2 will inform the work of Task 3 and will form the basis of Proposed Section 4: Preservation Priorities and Strategies, of the 2040 CP HR chapter. It is anticipated that Task 2 may include up to 3 site visits. One site visit may include additional field work as necessary to review historic resources. A site visit for a community participation meeting will be held either at City Hall or the Stillwater Public Library. A site visit for a strategy session with HPC representatives and the Advisory Committee will be held either at City Hall or the Stillwater Public Library. Task 3. Prepare draft strategy goals and objectives Work on this task will begin in conjunction with Task 2. Based on information gathered in Tasks 1 and 2, Summit will prepare a draft of strategy goals and objectives for inclusion in the 2040 CP HR chapter. Following initial review by Stillwater HPC and the Advisory Committee, the draft will be presented to the Planning Commission and the City Council for review. It is anticipated that Task 3 may include up to 2 site visits. One site visit will include a presentation and discussion with HPC and Advisory Committee, held in conjunction with the monthly HPC meeting at City Hall. The second site visit will include a presentation and discussion with the Stillwater Planning Commission and City Council at City Hall, if requested. Task 4: Prepare draft and final 2040 CP HR chapter The work undertaken in Tasks 1 through 3 will form the basis of the 2040 CP HR chapter. The initial drafting of Proposed Sections 1 through 3 will begin while work on Task 1 is underway. These sections will be further developed as work proceeds on the 2040 CP HR chapter. The proposed Section 4 will be further developed based on the presentations, discussions, and reviews of the work in Task 3. The completed draft 2040 CP HR chapter (all sections) will be compiled and presented to the Stillwater HPC, Advisory Committee, Planning Commission, and City Council. Following review, the 2040 CP HR chapter will be finalized for submission to HPC and the City of Stillwater. The chapter will include maps, photographs, and graphics and follow the format prescribed by the City. It is anticipated that Task 4 may include up to 2 site visits. One site visit will include a presentation and discussion with HPC and Advisory Committee, held in conjunction with the monthly HPC meeting at City Hall. The second site visit will include a presentation and discussion with the Stillwater Planning Commission and City Council at City Hall, if requested. Summit Envirosolutions, Inc. 6 2040 Comprehensive Plan Historic Resources Chapter City of Stillwater Project Schedule The project will be completed according to the following schedule which assumes an executed contract by February 20, 2018. • Task 1, including up to 3 site visits, between February 20, 2018, and March 14, 2018 • Task 2, including up to 3 site visits, between March 1, 2018, and March 30, 2018 • Task 3, including up to 2 site visits, between March 1, 2018, and April 11, 2018 • Task 4, including up to 2 visits, between April 20, 2018, and July 31, 2018 Project Deliverables Summit will provide 5 printed copies of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan Historic Resources Chapter as described in Task 4. Two additional copies will be submitted in electronic format, one in pdf format and one in an Adobe compatible editable format, such as InDesign. Opportunities for engagement with the City Opportunities for engagement fall into two phases: the first is while this project is underway over the course of 4 to 5 months; the second will extend over a longer period of time to ensure ongoing implementation into the planning processes of the city. In both phases, social media can be helpful for posting notices and soliciting information on the City's website and Facebook page. Will there be a dedicated website or Facebook page for 2040 CP? If so, the HR chapter could be incorporated into that program. Does Stillwater have a NextDoor Neighbor group for sharing relevant information? The City of Stillwater has partnered with the City of Eden Prairie and the City of Mankato to develop a training program and materials for HPC members. The City might share some of that material more broadly with the general public. In particular, the introduction to the training manual has excellent statements on preservation. The City could explore partnership and presentation opportunities with other organizations that have preservation goals such as the Stillwater Public Library, Washington County Historical Society, and the Washington County Historic Courthouse. The Stillwater community is known throughout the metropolitan area for its public events and festivals. These can provide an opportunity for community engagement and education.

That said, the HPC should discuss those who have expressed their interest and determine which community members should be recommend to the City Council for committee inclusion.
