2a This was the day and time for a public hearing on the request of BOB HAGSTROM
for a special Use Permit to construct an office building on Lots 1 thru 9.
Block 12, webster's Third Addition ( South Fourth Street across from the
cemetery) .
The notice of the hearing was published in the Stillwater Evening Gazette,
the official newspaper of the city, on June 14. 1973 and a copy was mailed to
the Village of Oak Park Heights and all property owners within 300 feet. (The
planning Commission recommended approval).
The Mayor opened the hgaring.
ROBERT HAGSTROM presented the drawings of the proposed plan of the site and
building and small model of the building. There will be no traffic exit on
South Fourth st~eet _ the exit will be on 63rd Street with a 39 car parking
area. There will be three basic areas with common entry and foyer - two
stories _ wood and masonry - a good quality building. There are elevators in
the plan which would make it a more usuable unit.
The Mayor closed the hearing.
On motion of councilman Peterson. seconded by councilman Balfanz
a Special Use Permit was granted to Robert Hagstrom for an office
building on Lots 1-9. webster's Third Addition.
3. This was the day and time to continue the hearing on the request for the vacation
of West oak Street from south Fourth street to South Fifth street. This hearing
was continued from Hay 22. 1973.
The Mayor re-opened the hearing.
(A traffic survey was made of the area. copy of which is in the file).
GARY HANSON, 309 South Fifth street submitted to the council a petition against
the proposed vacation of the street and he felt there was not enough use made
of the street to have it remain open.
, ~.
IN
DAN STICE said that there is no urgency and felt that if there is valid opposition
that it should be heard before the planning Commission and thet should reconsider
it. There was no opposition at the planning commission meeting. He had heard
that the city had received a letter very recently from the church (st. Mary's)
where they unanimously approved the vacation of the street. He plans to convert
the old church building into apartments or townhouses. He felt that the only way
be could do this was to vacate the street. The present church building is almost
on the street. There is no other alternative but to vacatE,-the" street.
GARY HANSON questioned whether a street could be unvacated once it is vacated.
MAYOR POWELL stated that he thought. that it could not. Mr. Stice could agree to
give back his property but what about the other people would they be willing to
give theirs back.
\oJ
MR. MARSHALL stated that possibly they could get some kind of option from Mr.
Crimmins and St. Mary's Church to purchase the south side of the street.
The following letters of opposition to this vacation were read at this time by
Mr. Marshall:
Leo F. Jewell - 320 West Pine
Victor Prescott - Stillwate~ Taxi Co.
Letters favoring the proposed vacation--
Joan Kilty O'Brien
RiChard Kilty

(June 26. 1973 - continued)
GARY HANSON stated that if the street is vacated that this really doesn't rid
the neighborhood of the eyesore and questioned if the council had considered
what action they would take if this vacation was turned down - if the building
would be condemned as it was done earlier.
MR. ABRAHAMSON stated that it was ordered sealed up.
MR. HANSON said he couldn't see why the street should be vacated in order
to do something with the existing building - this should be Mr. Stice's
responsibility.
JOSEPH CRIMMINS, 404 south Fourth Street. said he lives right across the,street
from this church and he is one of the original petitioners and t~e problem is to
try to alleviate an eyesore in the neighborhood, and Mr. Stice's proposal is to
construct a three section townhouse which would become a sizable taxable item as
compared to what is there nowa Also that street which is subject to maintenance
would become Dan Stice's responsibility. If Mr. Stice's proposal could be accepted
and he would be given a certain amount of time in which to construct this, it would
be advantageous from a beautification standpoint and as a tax item.
The hearing was closed at 7:40 Pa Ma
COUNCILMAN BALFANZ felt that due to the traffic count which was sizable that if
this portion of West oak Street was vacated that the schools and the church
would suffer as well as the individuals in the areaa
On motion of Councilman Balfanz, seconded by Councilman Peterson
the request to vacate the portion of West Oak street between South
Fourth Street and South Fifth Street was denieda
COUNCILMAN THOMPSON stated that there has been some contradiction regarding the
improvement of this street - the street is an eyesore along with the building
which is not kept up too well because of the shape it is ina If it is vacated,
this would eliminate one of the gravel streets - personally he was in favor of
vacating the streeta
COUNCILMAN PETERSON didn't favor vacating a street to get rid of a building and
that we do have other gravel roads which are neighborhood streets which don't
carry a lot of traffic and which are two and three blocks long a
MAYOR POWELL added that eventually this street will get done - there was a sewer
problem in this area and that is why it was removed from the street programa
JOSEPH CRIMMINS stated that in connection with ~he traffic count he observed
kids that ran back ano forth over this councer and they jumped on it 20 or 25
times - the mechanism had been tripped a good many timesa
JEFF ZOLLER of the planning Commission stated that just because you take acount
of how many automobiles, does not mean that the street is necessarYa If it was
closed it would be a hazard or detrimental.
RICHARD ULRICH asked during what period of time was the traffic count taken and
MAYOR P01iELL replied June 20 to June 26 a
DAN STICE said that if this was a street that was really used he would not be
here asking for the vacation of samea He would like to take it back to the
Planning commission. Also that half of the street or road is in the ravine and
that to build the full road would be tremendously expensive and would be of
limited value. He realized the opposition had come forward. but nobody has talked
to him about it.
MAYOR POWELL said that the attitude of the Council toward the vacation of streets
in the past five or six years is that they have more or less not vacated streets
especially if the street were in and being useda They have denied requests where
the street is platted and not put ina It had been the policy of previous Councils
to vacate streets provided 51% of the property owners were in favor. He felt that
the attitude had changed and they hdve been denying more applicati'Jns than grant-
ing vacations and he thought the council feels that they should preserve what the
City does have. He said this Council could vacate and another Council could get
it back. He said it would be quite unusual to get it back.

3.2 beer license was granted to the American Legion club at Lily Lake Park
for July 21 and 22. 1973.

On motion of Councilman Balfanz, seconded by Councilman Peterson a resolution
was introduced "INCREASING THE COMPENSATION FOR THE VOLUNTEER FIREFIGIf1'ERS

6.
On motion of Councilman Thompson, seconded by Councilman Wohlers a resolution
was introduced "INCREASING THE COMPENSM.'ION FOR THE POLICE RESERVE FROM $3.00
to $3.50 AFTER TImEE YEARS OF SERVICE EFFECTIVE JULY 1,1973".
(see resolutions).
7.
A request from the owners of Jubilee II for the permanent mooring facilities
at Lowell Park.
MR. HOLSTEN stated that legally you can't reserve public property.
Questions were raised about the sidewalks at Hooleys and Mr. Holsten felt
this was different situation. This could eventually mean that no individual
could use this launching point if it was reserved. It would be taking up a
certain piece of City property for exclusive use - it was difficult for him
to see how this could be done.
MAYOR POWELL said that we would not be reserving the levee as such but
reserving the area out in the river. On the Hooley matter we actually took
over the sidewalk. No charge - but not solely theirs to load and unload. If
they can hook into 220 they have to be somewhere near it, rather than get it
from NSP.

COUNCILMAN PF~ERSON asked what would prevent him from preventing anyone else
frora rroorinr. boats there - couldn't be more than three boats there at one time.

the park that there would be wires running across the roadway which would he a

INDIv:tDUALS AND DELEGATIONS (OUT OF ORDER)
5. MrS. W. F. and Lillian Niederer appeared before the council regarding the
possibility of making a road all the way around McKusick Lake similar to what
they have at phalen park in St. paul.
MAYOR POWELL responded with the fact that on the South side there is private
property and that on the North end there is the dam which keeps the level of the
lake up and the fill has forced the muck to come up and if the dam were to be
widened it would bring roore silk up.
cOUNCILMAN PETERSON said that there has been some thought given to move the water.
and this could be a part of that proposal - they would have to abandon the
extension of Laurel Street.
JACK SHE~N.said the Department of Natural Resources has received our permit-
request for putting something in this lake to clear the surface waters.
6. On motion of councilman Peterson. seconded by councilman wohlers the softball
Slow pitch TOurnament was granted a 3.2 on sale Beer License for July 27. 28.
and 29, 1973 at Lily Lake park.
7.
MR. BILL SHAW. 502 Quarry Lane appeared before the council in reference to the
drainage in his area North of Fourth Avenue south. Due to the improvement of the
streets in this area the water gets to his property faster and is resulting in
some standing water. He felt that there should be two conduits - one under his
driveway and another over the ridge down into the ditch along Highway No. 95.
He had discussed his problem with Mr. Shelton and councilman Peterson.
MR. SHELTON did agree that the water gets there faster. He said at the present
time, due to the foilage on the trees. it is impossible to make elevation deter-
minations and that it would possibly :-allute someone else by running it down over
the hill. The water sets on peaslee's property.
On motion of councilman peterson. seconded by councilman
Balfanz this dranage problem was referred to Duane Elliott
and Jack shelton and they will contact Mr. peaslee as we
would be trespassing on his property. and report back as soon
as possible.
