with the lender. They reported that a firm in Eden Prairie

A resident of the Cottages of Stillwater addressed the
Council regarding the erosion problem, and stated that
another erosion problem exists at the Cottages of Stillwater
project. Mr. Glenn Bell, resident to the east of the Woodland
Lakes site stated that he feels the dust from the site is a
major health problem. Mr. Bob Weiser stated that the

Engineer Moore outlined the original grading plan and stated
that the estimated cost of implementing the plan would be
$21,000, and if the development does not proceed, additional

adequate notice that the City will proceed with erosion
control and the charges will be assessed to his property.
Motion by Councilmember Opheim, seconded by Councilmember
Bodlovick to advertise immediately for bids for the erosion
control process, that those bids be opened in 10 days, that Scott
Steindorff be given 10 days to correct the erosion problem or the
City will proceed with the process and assess the costs to the
property, and that the cost of sprinkling the property during the
10 day period will also be assessed to the property. (All in

park fee of $28,350, plan check fee of approximately $41,700,
$30,000 as requested by the City Finance Director for additional
consultant fees, and reconfirmation with Herbergers and Radisson
for amended plans. (All in favor)
~
City Attorney Magnuson stated that the City will have to
study other cases to determine a reasonable time period in
order to set a final deadline. Bob Thompson asked if there
is any proof that Mr. Steindorff has actually spent any
money. Don Bromen stated that retailers are reluctant to
establish businesses or expand businesses because of the
