"out" which would allow operation in Stillwater in 2020 if suitable facilities become
available. A provision for resolving disputes by the arbitration process is also included.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
1. Case No. SUPN/99-31. This is the day and time for the public hearing to consider a
request for appeal of the Planning Commission's decision from Michaela Mahady and John
Pietras for a special use permit to construct an accessory dwelling unit and a variance to the
home occupation regulations at 614 N. 4th Street in the RB, Two Family Residential District.
Notice of the hearing was published in the Stillwater Gazette on August 27,1999, and
notices mailed to affected property owners.
Community Development Director Russell stated the applicants would like to build a new
garage with an accessory dwelling unit on the second floor. This unit would be used for a
glass studio. The applicants stated they have no off the street trade, teach no classes, nor sell
products. The variance is needed because the home occupation ordinance states that no more
than 25 percent of the total floor space of the main building may be used for home
occupation use.
Planning Commission Chair Fontaine stated it was a 5-3 decision. The Commission felt it
was a good application except for the square footage. They were concerned with setting a
precedent. The Commission questioned at what size should a business be in the business
district rather than residential area.
The Mayor opened the public hearing.
Michaela Mahady and John Pietra, applicants, presented their request. The larger area is
needed because of required layout space for their studio use. They showed drawings of the
proposed structure and pictures of other commercial/public buildings on the same street.
They also noted their design was approved by the Heritage Preservation Commission.
Wayne Branum, 610 North 3"\ stated he was in favor of the project.
Rosalind Ratman, 604 N. 4th St., stated it would be a wonderful contribution to the
neighborhood.
Paul Randall, 218 W. Maple St., offered 100% support. The neighborhood considers the
applicants valued members of the community.

City Council Meeting 99-19
September 7, 1999
r
Tim Stefan, 809 N. 4th St., supported the request. The structure is in character with N. 4th
Street and in scale with the homes. He encouraged the home occupation use.
The Mayor closed the public hearing.
Motion by COWlcilrnember Thole, seconded by Councilrnember Bealka overturning the decision
of the Planning Commission and approving a special use permit to construct an accessory
dwelling unit and a variance to the home occupation regulations at 614 N. 4111 Street in the RB,
Two Family Residential District. All in favor.
2. Case No. SUP/DR/99-32. This is the day and time for the public hearing to consider a
request for appeal of the Planning Commission's decision Rita Graybill for a special use
permit modification to add a fifth guest room and to remodel the carriage house at The
Elephant Walk Bed and Breakfast at 801 W. Pine Street in the RB, Two Family Residential
District. Notice of the hearing was published in the Stillwater Gazette on August 27,1999,
and notices mailed to affected property owners.
Community Development Director Russell summarized the request. He stated the applicant
has asked to remove the request to remodel the carriage house. However, the carriage house
was part of the original Planning Commission decision and cannot be removed from the
discussion of the appeal.
r
Planning Commission Chair Fontaine stated the Planning Commission denied the request 5-
3. After neighborhood input, they felt the expansion of the bed and breakfast and increased
activity on the site was not consistent with the residential neighborhood character.
The Mayor opened the public hearing.
Rita Graybill, applicant, explained her request. She felt there were broad misconceptions by
the neighbors. She has dropped her request to remodel the carriage house. The addition is
for personal use only. She related her attempts to work with neighborhood concerns.
Duane Arndt, 811 W. Pine, expressed concerns with privacy, increased traffic, non-stop
construction, the placement oflighting on the property, and increased level of
commercialism.
Tom Tierney, 717 W. Pine, stated he championed the last application for three bedrooms;
now he is totally opposed to additional rooms. He expressed concerns about privacy, parking
issues, lighting, burning of wood from construction projects, and number of rooms rented.
He had a petition from neighbors in opposition to the expansion. No additional
commercialization is wanted.
r
John and Kathy Nelson, 828 W. Willard, stated they had no problem with the bed and
breakfast at the time John Graybill had three bedrooms. Now there is constant construction,
burning, outside construction material storage, and lack of privacy.

r
City Council Meeting 99-19
September 7,1999
Ford Runge, 901 W. Pine, stated his opposition. The ordinance regarding B & B's in homes
older than 100 years was to preserve and enhance older structures. Expansion threatens to
destroy the residential character of the neighborhoods.
Pam Thorson of Hastings, president ofthe Minnesota Bed & Breakfast Guild, presented
statements regarding the positive financial impact ofB &B's on the community. Innkeepers
are a valuable community asset. She stated greater traffic is generated by a family of four
than by a five bedroom B & B. Issues can be worked out by communication with neighbors.
Eleanor Jones, 818 W. Pine, stated she has been opposed from the beginning and was not in
favor of any addition or remodeling. She has lived there 47 years and wants it to remain a
neighborhood.
Jean Ulland, 903 W. Willard, supported the initial application but is opposed to this
application for an addition. There has been enough commercialization.
Bill Lamanna, 703 W. Pine, felt the crux of the problem is communication and apparent
disregard for neighborhood concerns.
Lorraine Ulrich, 821 Pine St., stated her opposition and presented a petition.
Kristi Mattson, 722 W. Pine, stated her support for the project. There is little on-street
parking now. The Elephant Walk is one of the quietest homes in the area. There is more
noise from neighborhood children, dogs, and traffic than from the B & B. She also
complimented the appearance of the home and landscaping.
Truett Lawson, representing the Stillwater Bed and Breakfast Association, expressed support
for the request. He stated all B & B's live with neighborhood concerns. The Elephant Walk
is one of the best and supports the goals of the B & B ordinance.
The Mayor closed the public hearing.
Councilrnember Thole stated he thought the request was reasonable until he heard all of the
neighborhood opposition.
Councilrnember Bealka reported he had visited the Elephant Walk and felt Ms. Graybill had
done a good job in making it more elegant. Regarding the privacy of neighbors, he felt it was
difficult to focus on the neighboring properties because of the plantings.
Councilmernber Zoller stated they initially upgraded the building as was the intent of the
ordinance. However, neighborhood concerns, especially regarding traffic, noise, light and
intensification of use, have to be paramount.
Councilmember Cummings stated Council cannot be responsible for solving neighborhood
problems.
Council determined that, based on neighborhood concerns and problems regarding parking,
light, noise, and degree of activity, that the Planning Commission decision should be upheld.

I. Annexation petition for Phase IV city expansion area site.
Community Development Director Russell reported the City has received a request to annex
two parcels ofland in the Phase IV expansion area. Both owners, the Thron's and
McKenzie's, are petitioning. As a courtesy, the Council has referred such requests to the
Joint Stillwater/Township Planning Board. The annexation request can accompany the
rezoning and subdivision request when they come back to Council from the Planning
Commission.
Motion by Councilrnember Thole, seconded by Councilrnember Cummings referring the
annexation petition for two parcels in the Phase IV expansion area to Joint Planning Board and
Planning Commission. All in favor.

property long-term.
r
Community Development Director Russell updated Council on possible terms for agreement
to exchange repair and maintenance services for the Cayuga for temporary rental of a portion
of the City-owned Aiple property. The arrangement may need Corp of Engineers and
possibly DNR approval. Also, City Charter provisions that pertain to the sale of City-owned
land must be met. Further proposals are listed in a letter from Max Todo, included in the

parking on Thursday nights for a special downtown promotion. The Parking Commission
has approved the request.
Motion by Councilrnember Thole, seconded by Councilrnember Bealka approving the request by
the City of Stillwater Chamber of Commerce for two Thursday nights of free parking for a
downtown special promotion. All in favor.
4. Ordering retaining wall stability analysis at territorial prison site.
Community Development Director Russell reported an engineering study of the prison wall
will examine methods to carry stormwater through the city-owned prison site and how the
historically significant prison wall can be repaired. The study is necessary to provide a
design solution for drainage and wall failure that impacts the development of the site, The
cost of improvements is critical to negotiating a purchase price with potential developers.
There is no current active developer interest in the site.
r
In a memo from City Engineer Eckles, it was stated a letter was received from Steve Klein of
Barr Engineering outlining a proposed study. The estimated cost is estimated at $15,500 with
an anticipated completion date of November 1. This quick turnaround would be very
beneficial in providing information needed for fund raising and discussions regarding
development.
Motion by Councilrnember Bealka, seconded by Councilrnember Thole to adopt Resolution 99-
248 accepting proposal from Barr Engineering for the completion of an analysis of storm water
system and retaining wall problems associated with the territorial prison site.
Ayes: Councilrnembers Bealka, Cummings, Thole, Zoller and Mayor Kimble
Nays: None.
5. Contract with SRF Consulting Group, Inc., to update Aiple Property Park Plan and
Kolliner Park Plan
Community Development Director Russell reported the new location for the Highway 36
bridge over the Aiple Property will have an impact on the recently approved park master
plan. SRF assisted with the original plan. He presented a proposal from SRF for a revised
plan at a cost not to exceed $15,000. The information will be critical in commenting on the
bridge design plan being prepared by MnDOT, defIning the areas of bridge impact, and the
extent of park improvement as bridge mitigation.
C"
Motion by Councilrnember Bealka, seconded by Councilrnember Thole to adopt Resolution 99-

6. Offer to purchase Union Pacific Land south of downtown.
Community Development Director Russell reported, based on Council direction, staff has
been in discussion with the Union Pacific railroad for the purchase of railroad land south of
Nelson to the city limits near Sunnyside. The purchase would be for the land under the track
and adjacent right-of-way but not the track itself. The current asking price is $195,000. An
appraisal by RW Kirchner estimated the value to be $87,300. In discussions with Ron
Peterson of the Union Pacific, it appears the railroad would consider a price of$150,000. He
presented a memo from the railroad containing terms of purchase.
Motion by Councilmember Thole, seconded by Councilrnember Cummings directing the
Community Development Director to proceed with negotiations with the Union Pacific Railroad
for purchase of railroad land south of Nelson St. to City limits near Sunnyside. All in favor.
7. Setting fees for pawnbrokers license.
r
Police Chief Dauffenbach presented a schedule of fees charged by other cities. The nature of
the pawnbroker business requires close supervision. The fees for enforcement of regulations
should be passed on to the business itself in the form of license fees. The easiest way to
regulate the business is through computer access to records; this requires a significant up-
front cost to the city for access. There are also police costs related to background checks,
record retention, and other duties. It also requires monthly fees for continued access. He
found a $5000 fee is comparable to other cities. He further recommended a $200 per month
fee for computer access to the business.
Motion by Councilmember Thole, seconded by Councilrnember Bealka to adopt Resolution 99-
250 setting fee for pawnbrokers license at $5,000 plus monthly fee of $200 for computer access
charges.
Ayes: Councilrnembers Bealka, Cummings, Thole, Zoller and Mayor Kimble
Nays: None.
8. Response from NSP regarding modification of existing street lighting on Main Street.
Civil Engineer Sanders presented a memo from City Engineer Eckles which summarized a
response from NSP regarding modification of existing street lighting on Main Street. The
response for modification is in response to Council's request for options for the existing
lighting. NSP would propose to cut off the top five feet of existing poles and replace with a
Vernon style fixture on a mast arm. It is the same fixture being used for the decorative lights.
The estimated cost would be $250,000.
r Council determined this could be considered in the future. No action was taken.
