Mayor Kimble stated Scott Olson, Director of Operations for the Stillwater Yacht Club, was
present to request a license to install a fuel line and transition sump on Mulberry Point. The line
would be installed along the shoreline. The Club has requested the City start the proceedings for
the purchase of this land and would appreciate a license until a purchase could be made. If
approved, the line would be installed in one to two weeks.
r
City Attorney Magnuson reported the Yacht Club has complied with the City request to relocate
the gas tank to Yacht Club property. Although it has been suggested the line be placed under
water, the Yacht Club has requested placement along the shoreline to keep the fuel line out of
boat traffic areas to eliminate the potential for fuel rupture. Mr. Magnuson stated a license for
installation would be better than an easement because it does not involve a sale.
Motion by Councilmember Thole, seconded by Councilmember Bealka to adopt Resolution 99-91
granting a license to the Stillwater Yacht Club for installation of a fuel line and transition sump at
Mulberry Point.

City Council Meeting No. 99-7
April 6, 1999
City Engineer Eckles informed Council he is advertising for temporary summer workers for
r parks and public works and for lifeguards.
City Engineer Eckles reported a major failure had occurred at the Everett Street lift station. The
1999 budget includes funding for the repairs of several lift stations. However, the leak requires
immediate repair; he requested approval to work with Braun Pump and Controls to do
emergency repair at the Everett Street lift station.
Motion by Councilmember Thole, seconded by Councilmember Bealka approving a contract with Braun
Pump and Controls for emergency repair of the Everett Street Lift Station. All in favor.
Chief Dauffenbach reported Captain Bruce Klosowsky has requested to be reassigned from
Captain to Investigative Sergeant. The process to fill the Captain position is in progress.
Clerk Weldon reported the League of Minnesota Cities Annual Conference begins the evening of
June 15, 1999. In order for council members to attend, the regularly scheduled 7:00 p.m.
Council meeting could be rescheduled for 4:30 p.m. and continue until business is completed.
No meeting would be reconvened at 7:00 p.m.
Motion by Councilmember Thole, seconded by Councilmember Bealka to reschedule the time of the

Councilmember Zoller arrived at 5:00 p.m.
r Mayor Kimble left the meeting at 5:05 p.m.
City Coordinator Kriesel stated a request was received from Tom Schwietz, Director of the Graffiti
Teen Center, for funding assistance in the amount of $13,000 for the creation of a skateboard park
facility. On March 22,1999 the Parks Board recommended the City approve Graffiti's request for
$13,000 and suggested park dedication funds be used. He asked City Attorney Magnuson if this
would be an approved use of park dedication funds. Mr. Magnuson stated it was his opinion it
would not be an appropriate use and suggested finding other funding sources.
City Attorney Magnuson informed Council that a request had been made to have the cases against
all three defendants in the Oak Glen Guarantor litigation brought in Ramsey County. It is required
that the case against the Gerald Mogren Estate be brought in Ramsey County and it would save
time and expense if all three cases would be in front of the same judge.
Motion by Councilmember Bealka, seconded by Councilmember ZolIer to approve the consolidation of
three Oak Glen Guarantor cases in Ramsey County. All in favor.
OTHER BUSINESS
1. Workshop with Washington County Department of Transportation and Physical Development
to discuss County Rd 12/15 intersection improvements.
r
Sandra Cullen, Washington County Transportation Division, provided an update on the CSAH
12/CSAH 15 intersection project. She discussed historical and projected traffic volumes and the
proposed cost sharing participation.

City Council Meeting No. 99-7
April 6, 1999
City Engineer Eckles expressed concern with the city cost for medians and wetland mitigation. He
('- suggested negotiating the cost.
Ms. Cullen asked for input regarding the northeast quadrant. Councilmember Zoller stated the Joint
Board would be meeting April 14th to discuss the matter.
Community Development Director Russell noted the corridor landscape plan that had been
discussed did not appear in the plans. Ms. Cullen stated it is not included at this time. The County
is currently having to prove two lanes with a traffic light will operate efficiently and the life of a
two-lane system should be extended. It appears four lanes would not be needed for at least 10
years. Mr. RusselI stated a master corridor plan is needed now so developers can put it in place
during development.

March 16, 1999, Regular Meeting and Executive Session. All in favor.
PETITIONS. INDIVIDUALS. DELEGATIONS & COMMENDATIONS
r
1. Commendation of Don Valsvik for service on the Charter Commission and Planning
Commission.

City Council Meeting No. 99-7
April 6, 1999
('
Mayor Kimble presented a plaque to Don Valsvik in appreciation of his over seven (7) years of
service as a member of the Stillwater Charter Commission and over thirteen (13 ) years as a member
of the Stillwater Planning Commission.
2. Doug Johnson, Washington County Attorney - overview of County Attorney's Office.
Mr. Johnson provided a brief overview of the services provided by the Office of the County
Attorney.
3. Edith Gruber - pathway from Gilbert Court to Lily Lake Elementary School.
Edith Gruber expressed concern with the flooding of the path leading to Lily Lake Elementary
School from Gilbert Court. She and her husband have installed a drainage pipe through their
property at their own expense to allow the water to drain away from the path. However, in the
winter the pipe freezes up and the path floods. She requested the City move the bike path and repair
the flooding problem. She provided pictures of the flooded area.
Tammy Kinkaid, neighboring property owner, stated the drainage problem was ongoing before the
Grubers moved in.
r
City Engineer Eckles submitted copies of notices sent to the Grubers two years ago stating the
flooding problem is a direct result of actions taken by the Grubers themselves. In response, the
Grubers placed a small plastic pipe through the berm they had created to drain the water out.
However, it appears the system is not properly designed and is subject to plugging and freezing in
the spring.
Prior to the Grubers landscaping their property, the trail area and neighboring property all drained
across the back of the Gruber's property and out to the north. There was no flooding on the trail.
The trail was in place before construction of the Gruber home. A trailway easement was in place.
The builder had graded the lot correctly and according to the approved grading plan, which included
a drainage swale that would drain this area out to the north. Sometime after the builder had
completed and left the project, the homeowners completed some landscaping and altered the back
yard.
City Engineer Eckles stated the solution would be to regrade the lot to its original shape and allow
this entire area to drain as intended. Because the grading took place on private property owned by
the Grubers it is recommended that the Grubers be directed to correct the situation.
Council determined the engineering staff would be able to provide design assistance, but the City
would not provide construction assistance.
Motion by Councilmember Thole, seconded by Councilmember Bealka directing staff to work with
property owners at 1034 Gilbert Court to develop a design plan to correct the flooding problem on the
bike trail at that location and return to Council. All in favor.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
I. Case No. SUB/99-6. Now is the time for the public hearing to consider a request from Kenneth
Gervais, K & T No. St. Paul Investments, LLC, for a minor subdivision of Lots 9 & 10, Blk 17,
Holcombe's 2nd Addition, subdividing one 15,000 square foot lot into two single family lots (50'
x 150' or 7,500 square feet) at 711 South Greeley Street in the RB, Two Family Residential
District. Notice of the hearing was published in the Stillwater Gazette on March 26,1999, and
notices mailed to affected property owners.
Community Development Director Russell reported the request was reviewed by the Planning
Commission on March 8, 1999, and unanimously recommended approval. The lot size and
dimensions meet the requirements for single family lots in the Duplex Residential District.

The Mayor opened the public hearing. There were no requests to be heard. The Mayor closed the
(' public hearing.
Motion by Councilmember Thole, seconded by Councilmember Cummings to adopt Resolution 99-92
approving the minor subdivision of Lots 9 & 10, Blk 17, Holcombe's 2nd Addition, at 711 South
Greeley Street.
Ayes: Councilmembers Bealka, Cummings, Thole, Zoller and Mayor Kimble.
Nays: None.
2. Case No. SV/99-10. Now is the time for the public hearing to consider a request from John M.
Schoenecker for a street vacation for the east 30' x 150' of North First Street from Willow to
Poplar Street. Notice of the hearing was published in the Stillwater Gazette on March 26,1999,
and notices mailed to affected property owners.
Community Development Director Russell reviewed the request. The Planning Commission
reviewed the request and recommended denial. Concerns are that it would make it difficult to
access existing lots south of the vacation along North First Street. Access to other lots could be
cut off. The City Engineer opposed the vacation because the right-of-way may be needed for
public works. Several neighbors attended the Planning Commission meeting and spoke in
opposition to the vacation.
The Mayor opened the public hearing.
('
John Schoenecker, applicant, presented his request to have part of the road vacated to allow for the
construction of a garage.
Joe Rudenz, 1818 No. 1st Street, stated the top of the hilI keeps shifting down each time Mr.
Schoenecker does any digging. The street is okay as is.
The Mayor closed the public hearing.
Councilmember Thole stated access cannot be denied to the east properties. He questioned if it
would be possible to vacate a few feet and leave the street. Staff stated that without a plan from Mr.
Schoenecker, it would be difficult to make a determination.
Council directed staff get further information from Mr. Schoenecker and return with a report.
Motion by Councilmember Zoller, seconded by Councilmember Bealka to table the request from John
M. Schoenecker for a street vacation for the east 30' x 150' of North First Street from Willow to Poplar
Street.
Ayes: Councilmembers Bealka, Cummings, Thole, Zoller and Mayor Kimble.
Nays: None.

3. Case No. ZAT/99-1. Now is the time for the public hearing to consider a zoning ordinance text
amendment establishing tree protection regulations requiring licensing of commercial tree
trimmers, protecting significant and heritage trees, establishing tree replacement or payment for
6
City Council Meeting No. 99-7
April 6, 1999
removal of trees. City of Stillwater, applicant. Notice of the hearing was published in the
r Stillwater Gazette on March 26, 1999.
Community Development Director Russell summarized the history of the development of the draft
tree ordinance. At Council direction, Kathy Widen was hired as a forestry consultant to assist in the
City's efforts to protect the natural resources of the City. During the past six months, a tree task
force comprised of six city residents, the Community Development Director and the City
Coordinator, have been working with the forester to develop the ordinance. The Planning
Commission studied the ordinance and had general concerns regarding the amount of City
involvement of tree cutting. Therefore, the application of the ordinance was reduced to sites with
ravines, bluffs or one acre or greater. Mr. Russell noted a checklist showing how the ordinance
varies from the existing tree ordinance is in the Council packet. The proposed ordinance is much
more comprehensive and specific. The Planning Commission recommends approval of the
ordinance.
Kathy Widen, forestry consultant, presented the draft ordinance. She discussed licenses required for
commercial tree work, tree protection, tree removal and replacement, and appeal procedure.
The Mayor opened the public hearing.
Jim Johnston, Contractor Property Developers Company, as developer of Liberty on the Lake,
requested clarification of the definitions of ravine and bluff. Councilmember Thole requested
definitions be included in the ordinance.
('
Don McKenzie, 12620 nnd Street N., stated the current ordinance takes care of planning needs.
He expressed concerns that the proposed ordinance would penalize owners of small parcels (10-
25 acres) because of the costs and penalties. The ordinance would require him to receive a
permit for his weekly mowing of a sloped area of his yard that is over 24% slope. The ordinance
is a disincentive for development and limits options for home location and streets. It is
extremely complex. He would be concerned with planting more trees on his property because of
the penalty for removing them should he want to cut some down to build a structure. He
recommended Council vote against the ordinance.
Paula Kroening, 12480 N. nnd Street, stated it is a backlash to an owner that has planted trees
and later the trees become a detriment should some need to be removed. They are being told the
trees do not belong to them. The ordinance will discourage owners from planting trees to
beautify their property.
Robert Kroening, 12480 N. nod Street, stated it is an injustice to penalize the lots in the
township. Almost all lots wilI fall under the ordinance, while very few in the developed portion
of the City are included in the ordinance because they are under one acre.
r
Leah Peterson, 7160 Mid Oaks Lane and member of the task force, stated this is a transition in
thinking of trees as a community resource, not privately owned. This should not be an economic
hardship. It will force developers to take a look at where homes are situated. Tree protection
will preserve what is beautiful about Stillwater.
7
City Council Meeting No. 99-7
April 6, 1999
("
Nancy Brown, 518 North Owens and member of the task force, stated if trees are removed, it
affects all of the city. This would be similar to how the quality of water in Lily Lake, a
community resource, affects all of the City.
Jerry Fontaine, Planning Commission Chair, stated the Commission had some concerns with the
ordinance but wanted to move it to Council level. He also noted there is an appeal process
included.
The mayor closed the public hearing.
Councilmember Thole questioned if the fee charged for removal could be considered an illegal
taking and could open the City up for a lawsuit. He requested staff investigate if other cities with
similar ordinances have been involved in lawsuits.
Motion by Councilmember Thole, seconded by Councilmember ZolIer directing staff to further refine
the proposed tree ordinance and return to Council. All in favor.
4. Case No. ZA T/99-3. Now is the time for the public hearing to consider a zoning text amendment
requiring special building setbacks for arterial, collectors and railroad tracks. City of StilIwater,
applicant. Notice of the hearing was published in the Stillwater Gazette on March 26, 1999.
('
Community Development Director Russell reported this amendment establishes special setback for
major state highways, county roads and railroad right of ways in the expansion area. The setback for
state highways and county roads is 100 feet and is set at 75 feet for railroad right of way. The
requirement is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan GreenwaylBuffer Policy for the urban/rural
boundary and provides space for buffering between major roads in residential areas. The Planning
Commission recommends approval, and it will be going to the Joint Board for approval.
Motion by Councilmember Thole, seconded by Councilmember Bealka to have a first reading of an
ordinance relating to a zoning text amendment requiring special building setbacks for arterial, collectors
and railroad tracks.
Ayes: Councilmembers Bealka, Cummings, Thole, Zoller and Mayor Kimble.
Nays: None.

maintaining diverse biotic community in the wetland; and 4) assuring flows discharging from the
lake can be carried safely through the City to the St. Croix River.
The task force adopted recommendations related to water elevation, strategy to modify the
downstream channel, construction of wet detention basins, the improvement of recreational
suitability, the improvement of shoreline management, and the non-structural methods of protecting
water quality.
Council direction was requested. Council determined further discussion should be continued at a
later meeting. No action was taken at this time.
2. Second reading of Ordinance No. 874 implementing the conflict of interest and financial
disclosure provisions of the Stillwater City Charter (first reading February 2, 1999).

2. Proposal for McKusick Lake Downstream Conveyance System Study.
City Engineer Eckles requested approval of a proposal from Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik &
Associates for the completion of a study of the conveyance system. The system is a ravine and pipe
system that takes water from McKusick Lake to the river. The current system has a number of
substandard design features. To avoid serious problems downstream, this system needs to be
upgraded before the flow is increased by the Brown's Creek mitigation plan.
r
The study includes topographic mapping of the entire area, analysis of the existing system,
evaluation of system improvement alternatives, cost estimate, and final report. The cost is estimated
at $37,900 to be completed approximately November 30, 1999.

4. Market Place Surface Water Management Study.
City Engineer Eckles summarized the study of the 62nd Street area, prepared by Bonestroo, Rosene,
Anderlik & Associates. It identified a need for a large storm water holding pond and also a storm
water pipe from the pond to Long Lake. The study suggested there may be a significant cost savings
and water quality benefits if improvements were done upstream in the industrial park.
City Engineer Eckles stated there are four major improvements, as welI as some minor ones. The
major improvements were: 1) 62nd Street Pond and Pipe System, 2) Tower Drive and Market Drive
ponds, 3) Washington Avenue/Highway 36 pond, and Highlands Diversion. There is currently no
funding sources for these improvements. He recommended all but the Highlands Diversion be done
at this time. He will be discussing cost sharing options with Oak Park Heights and the watershed
district.

('
r
City Council Meeting No. 99-7

proposed realignment is similar to that included in the City's plan for trout stream mitigation.
Whatever work the DNR completes is work the City will not have to complete for the mitigation.
The cost estimate is approximately $400,000. The DNR has $300,000 alIotted and will not be able
to complete the project unless the City makes a financial commitment for all costs over the $300,000
grant. The City should be receiving several contributions to the Trout Stream Mitigation Project
through developer contributions.
He recommended Council support the DNR stream realignment project technically and financially
and that the issue be given to the City Attorney for review and development of any necessary
agreement.
