STILLWATER POLICE DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM
TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: CHIEF JOHN GANNAWAY
SUBJECT: PURCHASE OF RADIOS
DATE: JANUARY 8, 2019
CC: CITY ADMINISTRATOR J. THOMAS MCCARTY
The Police Department is requesting to purchase replacement 800 MHz radios for $78,800.
The existing radios are 12 years old and are no longer serviced/supported, as well as lacking needed
upgrades.
Portable radios are a critical need for Police Department operations. Officers utilize their
portable radios on a continual basis and are often used in emergency situations, so having a reliable,
updated portable radio is an essential need for Department operations and officer safety.
This an approved capital budget item. We have received a quote from ANCOM $78,720.75
for the purchase of seventeen (17) radios with accessories. This will equip the Patrol Division. We
will be requesting a lesser amount in 2020 to finish equipping the remainder of the Department.

Beth Wolf, City Clerk
experience for visitors to The Wall. We stand by ready to answer questions, work through challenges
and remain flexible and proactive throughout the process. Please feel free to contact me directly with
any questions.
As you look at locations this video may help you understand the setup for The Wall
https://www .youtu be .com/watch ?v =Qgzlq-D69WA
Setup Specifications:
The Wall
The Wall is a 3/4-scale replica of the memorial. It usually stands approximately 8' tall at the apex
(center) and each leg reaches out 187.5' from that center-point for a total of 375'. Ideally, we aim to
replicate the 125° angle of The Wall, but most sites rarely can accommodate these.
Depending on the angle the following rectangle is necessary. Please note, we will not place it less
than 90° or more than 170°
The Wall has the ability to make up for up to 18" in slope change across the entire length. A greater
change in elevation is neither aesthetically pleasing nor easy for handicapped access.
Soft Surface
The Wall must be setup on a soft surface. For all set-ups (grass and dirt) twelve-inch spikes are
used to affix the base plates in place along the entire length of the wall. Site hosts must make
certain if this will not damage irrigation or other buried utilities. In addition, near the center half of
the wall, seven (7) back stakes are placed (approximately 2' deep) to keep the wall from blowing
forward. Similar assurance needs to be made of no underground irrigation or utilities.
Power
In order to power the mobile Education Center, we need a 240 volt 50 AMP 4-wire source. This
source must be located within 200' of the front of the mobile education center/trailer. We have
adaptors/plugs for a 4-wire hard wire (pigtails) as well as the traditional twist lock and standard
outlet. If you have the power source, we have the cords that can plug into it.
For The Wall, we can either power that from the trailer (mobile Education Center) or from the
generator.
We prefer to run power for The Wall from another source. For that, we need two 20-amp 120V
circuits. We prefer they not be GFCI outlets, but under most circumstances can work from GFCI plugs.
We've used one circuit in the past, but I recently met with an electrician, and he has recommended we
change to two circuits.
Please keep in mind if you have a generator located in a high traffic area, we carry limited coverage for
cords. Usually, we will place the generator at the front of the truck/trailer and run the 240-volt cord
beneath the truck/trailer. However, keep in mind, the generator will be running the entire time The
Wall is open to visitors, it can detract from the ambiance of the area.
Mobile Education Center
The mobile Education Center is a 53' commercial trailer hauled by a traditional semi-truck
The mobile Education Center, it is a self-guided tour of the four primary aspects of The Education
Center at The Wall - a time li ne/map of the Vietnam War, a display of some of the photographs of
those inscribed on The Wall, a small portion of those items left behind at The Wall, and an
explanation of the legacy of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. When used without The Wall, it is not
necessary to power the display unless the host desires nighttime visitation . However, in all
circumstances, hosts must guarantee safe access to the display and visitors who may be standing
beside the trailer reading or viewing the displays.
When used in conjunction with The Wall, two Sl'x 15' awnings are affixed to the entire length of both
sides of the trailer, one of which contains a 15'x15' enclosure . This enclosure serves as the
information center for The Wall containing materials, handouts, and the books used to look up
locations of individual names on The Wall. The lights within the information center are powered from
plugs located within the tra i ler. When set up on a soft surface, the exterior corners of the enclosure
and each of the canopy legs are staked to the ground . When set up on a hard surface, the host must
provide fourteen (14) SO -gallon drums containing water or an equivalent amount of weight to secure
the awnings and enclosure in cases of wind.
This enclosure is not to be used for volunteer coordination, check-in or other services . It is intended as
a visitor center and must be maintained in a manner as to provide the best image and service to
visitors to the site
I look forward to hearing from you by Decemb er 21th or sooner. We are excited to have you as part of
our 2019 tour.
Sincerely,
Cynthia Brown Long

Shift Length: Most sites use three or four-hour time blocks for general volunteer shifts. We
suggest that you stager shifts so that not all volunteers are arriving and departing at once.
Overnight volunteer shifts can be any time in length, most hosts choose to do four, five or
eight-hour shifts. The site host develops the shifts and chooses the length .
Recruiting General Volunteers: Past hosts have found one of the free sites listed below useful
to recruit, track and schedule their general volunteers to host The Wall and staff the overnight
shifts
https://sign u p.com/
https :ljwww .sig n u pgen ius . com/
Recruiting Setup volunteers: Many sites have chosen to separately recruit the volunteer team
to set up and breakdown The Wall and not openly list these needs for general registration on
the volunteer recruiting site. Resources for setup and breakdown volunteers are Active duty
military, reserve or national guard members, Jr . ROTC, High school or college sports
team(men/woman), or member of a union group.
Volunteer training: The volunteer training session is held on Wednesday at 6:00 pm (usually
this time) as part of The Wall set up day. Conducted by the Site Manager, training takes place in

PUBLIC HEARINGS
Case No. 2018‐14. A public hearing to consider a Zoning Text Amendment (ZAT) and City Code
Amendment to regulate wireless facilities in Chapter 24: Streets Alleys and Public Property and
Sections 31‐315 and 31‐325: Allowable Uses in Residential and Non‐Residential Districts.
City Attorney Land informed the Council that small wireless facilities are intended to fill the
gaps in coverage of the other tall towers. She and City staff have revised the ordinance to
not only be in conformance with state and federal regulations, but also to allow for the
preservation of Stillwater’s community character. She explained the amendments to the
Zoning Code to clarify that, upon approval of a permit application, small wireless facilities
are outright permitted in the Right‐of‐Way (ROW) in any district, but they are not permitted
on private lands. The Zoning Text Amendment is proposed to add Small Wireless Facilities
to the allowable use tables. The Planning Commission held a public hearing and
recommended approval. Staff recommends the Council approve the first reading.
Mayor Kozlowski opened the public hearing.
Adam Guinee, 1205 Creekside Crossing, stated he believes that a llowing companies to install
cell towers anywhere can be disruptive, but he does not feel a company should be restricted
based on aesthetics. He urged the Council to consider the environmental impacts of
installing the small wireless facilities.
Mayor Kozlowski closed the public hearing.
Motion by Councilmember Weidner, seconded by Councilmember Polehna, to approve the first
reading of a Zoning Text Amendment (ZAT) and City Code Amendment to regulate wireless
facilities in Chapter 24: Streets Alleys and Public Property and Sections 31‐315 and 31‐325:
Allowable Uses in Residential and Non‐Residential Districts.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Possible adoption of resolutions for 2019 Budget & Tax Levy
City Administrator McCarty pointed out this is a continuation of the Truth in Taxation
meeting held two weeks ago. He reviewed the changes made at the direction of the Council.
Changes in health insurance for retirees resulted in a better plan, saving the City about
$112,000, representing a 1.2% decrease in the levy proposed two weeks ago.
Finance Director Harrison explained how the property tax rate is used to calculate property
taxes.
Mayor Kozlowski indicated that he is comfortable including $25,000 for lobbyist fees even
though there are no pending projects. Having a lobbyist ready for possible projects in the
next legislative session makes sense.
Councilmembers Polehna, Junker and Weidner agreed.
Motion by Councilmember Weidner, seconded by Councilmember Junker, to adopt Resolution
2018‐285, adopting the Final Budget and the commitment of certain revenue sources for the
Fiscal Year 2019.
Ayes: Councilmembers Junker, Weidner, Polehna and Mayor Kozlowski

NEW BUSINESS
Nuisance Abatement Hearing ‐ 421 Hanson Place
Community Development Director Turnblad reported that in August, the owners of 421
Hanson Place worked with a code enforcement officer to clean up their yard. The problem
reoccurred and on November 30, they were issued a nuisance citation to clean up their yard.
They are now appealing the citation. The Council has three options: sustain the appeal and
not order abatement; order abatement and the City would clean up the nuisance items and
bill the property owners; table the matter.
Community Service Officer Brittny Schmitz presented the evidence, including pictures taken
September 5, 2018 of the backyard after the property owners cleared seven trailer loads or
more of auto parts, tires, construction materials, and things intended to be used in working
on cars. She felt the owners did a substantial amount of work in three weeks. However on
November 29, the City received another complaint that the property had deteriorated and
junk had returned. She met with the complainant and took pictures. Two of the vehicles in
the backyard did not have front license plates, which falls under the abandoned vehicle
ordinance, there was material from a fish house, fencing material, and a red truck bed filled
with tires, in addition to some gutter material, scrap wood and other materials that were
not there on September 5. The owners were given until December 5 to clean up, however
they filed an appeal and everything was put on hold at that point. She did not go back there
City Council Meeting December 18, 2018
Page 5 of 7
until today. All vehicles at this point are properly licensed and appear operable. The foam
material, a trailer hooked to a vehicle, plastic bins with storage items, wood, pallets and
other materials remain. The truck bed and the tires that were in the truck bed are gone. The
property has drawn complaints from more than one neighbor.
Councilmember Weidner asked if a nuisance violation is the same as an exterior storage
violation. It clearly looks like a nuisance, but he would like to define the violation and the
ordinance on which the Council can base its decision.
Police Chief Gannaway noted the nuisance ordinance covers the depositing of any refuse,
rubbish, garbage or other discarded items.
Councilmember Weidner pointed out that the problem is that the property owners stated
they were going to use materials. It is not discarded or abandoned.
Community Service Officer Schmitz read the definition of refuse to include all waste
including paper, garbage material, food, vegetable, animal or plant waste, construction
debris, and detached vehicle parts.
City Attorney Land noted that she has not been involved in the case. She would like to review
actions taken to see if there are other definitions and other options that already exist in code
that would allow the Council to enforce this as an abatement action.
Motion by Councilmember Weidner, seconded by Councilmember Polehna, to continue the
hearing. All in favor.
Councilmember Polehna commented this is prime example of why a yard parking ordinance
is needed.
Mayor Kozlowski agreed the City needs to look at nuisances, outdoor storage, and yard
parking.
Councilmember Weidner stated he is in favor of looking at a yard parking ordinance again.
Councilmember Polehna suggested the Planning Commission look at it.
City Attorney Land stated either yard parking or exterior storage regulations could be done
by City code, it does not have to be a zoning ordinance so it would not have to go to the
Planning Commission.
Community Development Director Turnblad recommended the Council get the public
involved. The City currently does not have an exterior storage ordinance for residential
districts, unless they have a home occupation license.
City Attorney Land remarked there are many options and staff can gather some options to
present in a workshop.
Councilmember Weidner reiterated that he would like to look at developing an exterior
storage ordinance.

Resolution approving Stillwater application for Federal Hazard Mitigation Grant through the
Federal Emergency Management agency (FEMA) for retrofitting of Stillwater fire and police

mitigation plan which the City Council also approved. It makes the City eligible for grants to
mitigate future hazards. The window film is not bullet resistant, but provides resistance to
impact. The City’s share is of the cost $11,700.
Motion by Councilmember Polehna, seconded by Councilmember Junker, to adopt Resolution
2018‐287, resolution approving Stillwater application for Federal Hazard Mitigation Grant

CITY COUNCIL
MEETING DATE: January 8, 2019 CPC CASE NO.: 2018-14
December 18, 2018 (1st Reading)
REGARDING: Consideration of an Ordinance Amending Chapter 24 Regarding Streets,
Alleys and Public Property and an Ordinance Amending Chapter 31
Regarding Zoning
PREPARED BY: Abbi Jo Wittman, City Planner
BACKGROUND
In early 2018 staff worked with City Commissions and the Council to draft an ordinance
pertaining to Small Wireless Facilities. The ordinance was not passed as is, because upon review
by City Attorney Land, it was determined there were conflicting elements with state statute.
Given this, City Attorney Land has worked with City staff to revise the ordinance to not only be
in conformance with state and federal regulations but also to allow for the preservation of
Stillwater’s community character. As a result, most of the proposed regulations will be codified
as part City Code Chapter 24: Street, Alleys and Public Property; there are minimal elements of
the proposed ordinance that affect City Code Chapter 31, Zoning.
State law specifically allows these uses within the rights of way, so regardless of whether or not
cities adopt their own regulations, these types uses will be permitted. However, there are
opportunities for cities to be more restrictive than state law in order to protect residential zones,
as well as historic districts. Recently the FCC adopted regulations that slightly conflict with state
law, so this ordinance actually incorporates the more restrictive federal requirements and
language. Even if state law adjusts to the federal regulations, the city will not be out of
compliance with either state or federal law.
PUBLIC PURPOSE
The main purposes of the future Zoning Text Amendment (ZAT) is to provide for fair,
reasonable, and non-discriminatory access to City-owned infrastructure in the public ROW while
designating a streamlined permitting process.
ALTERNATIVES
Regarding the Ordinances, the City Council has the following options available to them:
1. Approve the ordinance amendment as presented
2. Modify the ordinance with specific direction
3. Table consideration for more information.
CPC Case No. 2018-14
January 8, 2019
FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATION
Staff finds find the public necessity, general community welfare and good zoning practice permit
the amendment and that the proposed amendment is in general conformance with the principles,
policies and land use designations set forth in the comprehensive plan.
Planning Commission
On December 12, 2018 the Planning Commission held a public hearing regarding the Zoning
Text Amendment. Planning Commission forwarded a favorable recommendation of approval to
the City Council.
Staff
Staff would recommend the City Council move to approve the second reading of Zoning Text
Amendment to City Code Section 31-315 and 31-325 and City Code Chapter 24 Regarding
Streets, Alleys and Public Property to provide for regulations of small wireless facilities in the
rights of way.

PUBLIC PROPERTY OF THE STILLWATER CITY CODE
The City Council of Stillwater does ordain:
SECTION 1. Stillwater City Code Chapter 24 relating to Streets, Alleys and Public
Property is hereby amended as follows:
Chapter 24 - STREETS, ALLEYS AND PUBLIC PROPERTY
ARTICLE I. - IN GENERAL
Sec. 24-1. - Streets.
Subd. 1. Permit required. No person, except an authorized city employee or contractor
performing work under a contract with the city, shall make any excavation,
obstruction, alteration, or installation in a street, alley, sidewalk or public ground
without first having secured a permit therefor from the public works director.
Subd. 2. Application and regulations. The public works director shall prepare the necessary
application forms and permits required under subdivision 1 of this section. The
public works director shall also prepare regulations necessary to protect the public
from injury, prevent damage to public or private property and minimize
interference with the public use of streets, alleys, sidewalks and public grounds.
Any person making such an excavation shall comply with such regulations.
Subd. 3. Bond. Any permittee, except a public utility corporation or a bonded plumber, shall
file with the clerk a corporate surety bond, cash deposit or certified check in the
amount of $5,000.00, conditioned that the permittee will:
(1) Perform work in connection with the excavation in accordance with the
applicable ordinances and regulations;
(2) Indemnify the city and hold it harmless from all damages caused in the
execution of the work; and
(3) Pay all costs and damages suffered by the city by reason of the failure of the
permittee to observe the terms of applicable ordinances and regulations or
because of negligence in the execution of the work.
The bond shall be approved as to form and legality by the city attorney.
2
Subd. 4. Public liability insurance. Any permittee, except a public utility corporation, shall
furnish proof that the permittee has in existence an insurance policy protecting the
permittee from liability to the public, including the city, to an amount equal to the
maximum claim the city might be required to pay under Minn. Stat. ch. 466.
Subd. 5. Permit denial. Failure to comply with the conditions of this section shall be grounds
for denial of future permits.
Subd. 6. General regulations for excavations. Street openings shall be made in a manner
that will cause the least inconvenience to the public. Provision shall be made for
the passage of water along the gutters and at least one-half of the traveled portion
of the street shall be left open and in good condition for the safe passage of vehicles.
Open excavations shall be guarded with substantial barriers and marked with red

Subd. 7. Refilling excavations. Every street excavation shall be refilled as soon as possible
after the work is completed and paving, sidewalks and appurtenances shall be
replaced in at least as good condition as before the excavation to the satisfaction of
the city public works director. All dirt and debris shall be removed immediately.
Any person who fails to comply with these requirements within 24 hours after
notice from the city shall be liable to the city for the full cost incurred by the city
in remedying the defect and restoring the street, sidewalk, alley or public ground to
its proper condition. The cost shall be an obligation of the surety on the bond of the
permittee.
Subd. 8. Map of subsurface installations. The public works director shall maintain a map
showing the location of all utility and other installations made beneath the surface
of any public street, grounds or right-of-way. The information on the map shall be
sufficiently complete and accurate to permit anyone making an excavation in a
public place having any underground installation to avoid damage to any existing
underground installation and to properly locate them. Any new underground
facilities shall be recorded on the map as soon as practicable upon the issuance of
an excavation permit or the completion of a contract for the installation of city
underground installations.
Sec. 24-2. - Numbering for dwelling homes and buildings.
Subd. 1. Uniform numbering system. There is hereby created and established a uniform
system of numbering properties and principal buildings in the city, referred to in

entrance of such principal building shall bear a separate number. Numerals
indicating the official numbers for each principal building shall be reflectorized, a
minimum of three inches in height, shall be posted at least five feet from the
threshold on a building surface and placed in such a manner as to be visible from
the street on which the property is located. If there is a main entrance visible from
the street, the numbers shall be placed within two feet of that entrance.
Subd. 4. Administration. At the time of submitting a preliminary plat or plan or application
for building permits, the applicant shall submit a building numbering plan for
review by the planning commission of the city. The city building official shall keep
an up-to-date record of all numbers assigned under this section. The city building
official shall assign, to any property owner in the city upon request, a number for
each principal building or separate front entrance to such building. In doing so, he
shall assign only those numbers assigned under the provisions of this section;
provided, however, that he may assign additional numbers in accordance with
the uniform system adopted in this section whenever the property has been
subdivided, a new front entrance opened or undue hardship has been worked on
any property owner.
Subd. 5. Penalties for violation of section. Violations of this section shall be a petty
misdemeanor.
Sec. 24-3. - Planting and care of trees in public places.
Subd. 1. No person shall plant any trees within the limits of any street, public ground or

ARTICLE II. - RIGHT-OF-WAY MANAGEMENT
Sec. 24-25. - Findings, purpose, and intent.
The rights-of-way (ROW) serve to protect the public health, safety and welfare. The ROWs
provide access to public and properties for motorized and non-motorized vehicles and pedestrians
and provide space to facilitate the delivery of vital public and private utility services. In addition,
the ROWs in the city provide a critical part of the public realm that helps create the essential
character of the community. This is especially true in relationship to local, state, or nationally-
designated, or eligible heritage preservation sites, landmarks and districts. It is the intent of this
article to facilitate appropriate use of the ROWs for the purposes above while also protecting the
public welfare by preventing permanent obstruction, safety hazards, and other use of the ROW
that would diminish the historic character of the community.
This article shall be interpreted consistently with 1997 Session Laws, Chapter 123,
substantially codified in Minn. Stat. §§ 237.16, 237.162, 237.163, 237.79, 237.81, and 238.086
(the “Act”) and the other laws governing applicable rights of the city and users of the right-of-way.
This article shall also be interpreted consistent with Minnesota Rules 7819.0050—7819.9950
where possible. To the extent any provision of this article cannot be interpreted consistently with
the Minnesota Rules, that interpretation most consistent with the Act and other applicable statutory
and case law is intended. This article shall not be interpreted to limit the regulatory and police
powers of the city to adopt and enforce general ordinances necessary to protect the health, safety
and welfare of the public.
Sec. 24-26. - Election to manage the public rights-of-way.

(4) Small Wireless Facility Collocation Agreement. If a small wireless facility is
to be collocated on a small wireless support structure owned or controlled by
the city, or any other city-owned asset or infrastructure in the right-of-way, it
may only do so after the applicant has executed a standard small wireless
facility collocation agreement with the city. When an applicant proposes to
replace a city-owned wireless support structure, the city may impose
reasonable restocking, replacement, or relocation requirements on the
replacement of such structure. The standard collocation agreement may
require the following payments for each city-owned structure:
a. Up to $150 per year for rent;
b. $25 per year for maintenance;
c. A monthly fee for electrical service as follows:
1. $73 per radio node less than or equal to 100 maximum watts;
2. $182 per radio node over 100 maximum watts; or
3. The actual costs of electricity, if the actual cost exceed the
foregoing.
Such costs and payments shall be automatically adjusted pursuant to the amounts set forth in
Minn. Stat. §237.163 subd. 6(g), or as may be amended from time to time. The standard collocation
agreement shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, the required small wireless facility permit.
Sec. 24-36. -Exceptions to Permit Requirement.
No wireless facility permit is required to solely conduct:
(1) Installation of small wireless facilities for the exclusive use of a public utility
corporation who has entered into franchise agreement with the City provided
all wireless support equipment is installed by said corporation utility for its
sole use and benefit, complies with the conditions and design standards in
section 24-35 and is not for the use of an independent third party
telecommunications provider; and its representatives utilizing minimal
equipment design components, as identified by adopted design guidelines for
public utility companies;
(2) Routine maintenance of a small wireless facility;
(3) Replacement of a small wireless facility with a new facility that is
substantially similar or smaller in size, weight, height, wind or structural
loading, and conforms to and with all established design standards and
original approvals, than the small wireless facility that is being replaced.

fails to pay as required, the city may exercise its rights under the construction performance bond.
Sec. 24-39. - Other obligations.

the natural free and clear passage of water through the gutters or other waterways shall be
interfered with. Private vehicles of those doing work in the right-of-way may not be parked within
21
or next to a permit area, unless parked in conformance with city parking regulations. The loading
or unloading of trucks must be done solely within the defined permit area unless specifically
authorized by the permit.
Sec. 24-40. – Denial of permit.
The city may deny a permit for failure to meet the requirements and conditions of this article
or if the city determines that the denial is necessary to protect the health, safety, and welfare or
when necessary to protect the right-of-way and its current use and future uses. The city may deny
a permit if the utility has failed to comply with previous permit conditions. The city may withhold
issuance of a permit until the applicant is in compliance with the conditions of a previous permit.
The denial of a right-of-way permit and small wireless facility permit must be made in writing and
must document the basis for the denial. The city must notify the applicant or right-of-way user in
writing within three (3) business days of the decision to deny a permit. If an application is denied,

others as authorized by law for inspection at all reasonable times during the execution of and upon
completion of the work.
Subd. 3. Authority of director.

any work which poses a serious threat to the life, health, safety or well being
of the public.
(2) The director may issue an order to the permittee for any work which does not
conform to the terms of the permit or other applicable standards, conditions,
or codes. The order shall state that failure to correct the violation will be cause
for revocation of the permit. Within ten (10) days after issuance of the order,
the permittee shall present proof to the director that the violation has been
22
corrected. If such proof has not been presented within the required time, the
director may revoke the permit pursuant to sec. 1.22.
Sec. 24-43. - Work done without a permit.
Subd. 1. Emergency situations. Each registrant shall immediately notify the director of any
event regarding its facilities, which it considers to be an emergency. The registrant may proceed
to take whatever actions are necessary to respond to the emergency. Within two (2) business days
after the occurrence of the emergency the registrant shall apply for the necessary permits, pay the
fees associated therewith and fulfill the rest of the requirements necessary to bring itself into
compliance with this section for the actions it took in response to the emergency.
Subd. 2. Non-emergency situations. Except in an emergency, any person who, without first
having obtained the necessary permit, obstructs or excavates a right-of-way must subsequently
obtain a permit, and as a penalty pay double the normal fee for said permit, pay double all the other
fees required by the city code, deposit with the city the fees necessary to correct any damage to
the right-of-way and comply with all of the requirements of this article.

information is known.
Sec. 24-45. - Revocation of permits.
Subd. 1. Substantial breach. The city reserves its right, as provided herein, to revoke any

of any statute, ordinance, rule or regulation, or any material condition of the permit. A substantial
breach by permittee shall include, but shall not be limited to, the following:
(1) The violation of any material provision of the right-of-way permit;
(2) An evasion or attempt to evade any material provision of the right-of-way
permit, or the perpetration or attempt to perpetrate any fraud or deceit upon
the city or its citizens;
(3) Any material misrepresentation of fact in the application for a right-of-way
permit;
(4) The failure to complete the work in a timely manner; unless a permit
extension is obtained or unless the failure to complete work is due to reasons
beyond the permittee’s control; or
(5) The failure to correct, in a timely manner, work that does not conform to a
condition indicated on an order issued pursuant to sec. 1.19.
23
Subd. 2. Written notice of breach. If the city determines that the permittee has committed a
substantial breach of a term or condition of any statute, ordinance, rule, regulation or any condition
of the permit the city shall make a written demand upon the permittee to remedy such violation.
The demand shall state that continued violations may be cause for revocation of the permit. A
substantial breach, as stated above, will allow the city, at his or her discretion, to place additional
or revised conditions on the permit to mitigate and remedy the breach.
Subd. 3. Response to notice of breach. Within twenty-four (24) hours of receiving
notification of the breach, permittee shall provide the city with a plan, acceptable to the city, that
will cure the breach. Permittee’s failure to so contact the city, or permittee’s failure to timely
submit an acceptable plan, or permittee’s failure to reasonably implement the approved plan, shall
be cause for immediate revocation of the permit. Further, permittee’s failure to so contact the city,
or permittee’s failure to submit an acceptable plan, or permittee’s failure to reasonably implement
the approved plan, shall automatically place the permittee on probation for one (1) full year.
Subd. 4. Cause for probation. From time to time, the city may establish a list of conditions
of the permit, which if breached will automatically place the permittee on probation for one full
year, such as, but not limited to, working out of the allotted time period or working on right-of-
way grossly outside of the permit authorization.
Subd. 5. Automatic revocation. If a permittee, while on probation, commits a breach as
outlined above, permittee’s permit will automatically be revoked and permittee will not be allowed
further permits for one full year, except for emergency repairs. Any revocation of a right-of-way
or small wireless facility permit must be made in writing and must document the basis for the
revocation. The city must notify the right-of-way user in writing within three (3) business days of
the decision to revoke the permit.

extent the rules do not limit authority otherwise available to cities.
Subd. 2. Corridors. The city may assign specific area within the right-of-way, or any
particular segment thereof as may be necessary, for each type of facilities that is or, pursuant to
current technology, the city expects will someday be located within the right-of-way. All
excavation, obstruction, or other permits issued by the city involving the installation or
replacement of facilities shall designate the proper corridor for the facilities at issue.
24
Any registrant who has facilities in the right-of-way in a position at variance with the corridors
established by the city shall, no later than at the time of the next reconstruction or excavation of
the area where the facilities are located, move the facilities to the assigned position within the
right-of-way, unless this requirement is waived by the city for good cause shown, upon
consideration of such factors as the remaining economic life of the facilities, public safety,
customer service needs and hardship to the registrant. Small wireless facilities in the right-of-way
shall be removed and relocated at the city’s request and at no cost to the city when the city
determines that removal and relocation is necessary to prevent interference with present or future
use of the right-of-way; the public health safety, or welfare; or the safety and convenience of travel
over the right-of-way.
Subd. 3. Nuisance. One year after the passage of this section, any facilities found in a right-
of-way that have not been registered shall be deemed to be a nuisance. The city may exercise any
remedies or rights it has at law or in equity, including, but not limited to, abating the nuisance or
taking possession of the facilities and restoring the right-of-way to a useable condition.
Sec. 24-48. - Damage to other facilities.
When the city does work in the right-of-way and finds it necessary to maintain, support, or
move a registrant’s facilities to protect it, the city shall notify the local representative as early as

paid within thirty (30) days from the date of billing. Each registrant shall be responsible for the
cost of repairing any facilities in the right-of-way which it or its facilities damages. Each registrant
shall be responsible for the cost of repairing any damage to the facilities of another registrant
caused during the city’s response to an emergency occasioned by that registrant’s facilities.
Sec. 24-49. - Right-of-way vacation.
Reservation of right. If the city vacates a right-of-way which contains the facilities of a
registrant, the registrant’s rights in the vacated right-of-way are governed by Minnesota Rules
7819.3200.
Sec. 24-50. - Indemnification and liability.
By registering with the city, or by accepting a permit under this article, a registrant or
permittee agrees to defend and indemnify the city in accordance with the provisions of Minnesota
Rule 7819.1250.
Sec. 24-51. - Abandoned and unusable facilities.
Subd. 1. Discontinued operations. A registrant who has determined to discontinue all or a
portion of its operations in the city must provide information satisfactory to the city that the
registrant’s obligations for its facilities in the right-of-way under this article have been lawfully
assumed by another registrant.
25
Subd. 2. Removal. Any registrant who has abandoned facilities in any right-of-way shall
remove it from that right-of-way if required in conjunction with other right-of-way repair,
excavation, or construction, unless this requirement is waived by the city.
Sec. 24-52. - Appeal.
A right-of-way user that: (1) has been denied registration; (2) has been denied a permit; (3) has
had permit revoked; or (4) believes that the fees imposed are invalid, may have the denial,
revocation, or fee imposition reviewed, upon written request, by the city council. The city council
shall act on a timely written request at its next regularly scheduled meeting. A decision by the city
council affirming the denial, revocation, or fee imposition will be in writing and supported by
written findings establishing the reasonableness of the decision.
Sec. 24-53. - Severability.
If any portion of this article is for any reason held invalid by any court of competent
jurisdiction, such portion shall be deemed a separate, distinct, and independent provision and such
holding shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions thereof. Nothing in this article
precludes the city from requiring a franchise agreement, or other type of agreement, with the
applicant, as allowed by law, in addition to requirements set forth herein.

CITY COUNCIL
MEETING DATE: January 8, 2019 CASE NO.: 2018-66
APPLICANT: Matt and Michelle Harty, property owners
REQUEST: Consideration of the vacation of a portion of the South Hill Outlet
Sewer easement located on properties legally described as Lots 8, 9
and 10 Churchill, Nelson and Slaughter’s Addition to Stillwater,
located at 808 6th Avenue South and the acceptance of a sewer
easement on the same property
ZONING: RB: Two Family COMP PLAN DISTRICT: LMDR: Low/Medium Density
PREPARED BY: Abbi Jo Wittman, City Planner
REQUEST
Matt and Michelle Harty, property owners of 808 6th Avenue South, have requested
consideration of a partial vacation of a sewer easement that encumbers most of their
property. In exchange for the vacation, the Harty’s would grant the City a new, 20’ wide
easement, 10’ on each side of the delineated sewer line. If approved, the Hartys would be
able to build a new home on the property in areas currently encumbered by easement.
APPLICABLE BACKGROUND
In November, 2016, the Hartys purchased the property at 808 6th Avenue South. Prior to
purchasing the property, staff inaccurately advised the future owners that the property
(including the undeveloped portions of certain lots) were developable. However, staff
advised there was a series of land transactions that complicated the situation and
conducting title work prior to the purchase of the property would explain the issues staff
was not easily able to identify. In April of 2017 they obtained a Design Permit from the
Heritage Preservation Commission for the new construction of a residence in the
Neighborhood Conservation District.
Shortly thereafter, it was determined the City was granted sewer easements by deed for
most of the property the Hartys had purchased. The easements in question are for the City
to maintain a circa 1915 sewer main, commonly referred to as the South Hill Outlet Sewer.
The easements restrict development on the property – regardless of location and proximity
to the sewer main. See the attached 808 6th Avenue South Easements, Setbacks, and Builable
Areas map.
Case No. 2018-66
CC: January 8, 2019
Page 2 of 2
One alternative for the property owner is to relocate the sewer main; however, relocation of
the sewer main is not feasible. Therefore, the Hartys have opted to survey the property,
delineating the sewer line, and requested an easement exchange. If approved, the Hartys
would be able to remove the existing residence and apply for a building permit for the
construction of the home that was granted HPC Design Permit approval in early 2017.
ALTERNATIVES
The Council has the following options:
1. Approve. If the Council is favorable to the easement swap, the Council should move
to approve the first reading of the Ordinance vacating the original easement and
accepting the newly delineated easement.
2. Deny. If the Council is not favorable to the easement swap, the Council may deny
the request.
3. Table. If the Council would like additional information, they may move to table
consideration, requesting additional information from staff or the property owner.
ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATION
While there is a current home on the property, the deeded easements restrict any
development on all of Lot 10 and the north 50’ (i.e. the platted 40’ of Lot 8 and the northern
10’ of Lot 9). Therefore, even if the Hartys would like to reconstruct the existing home, they
would not be permitted to. While a (approximately) 2,100 square foot area not encumbered
by easements remains, the sewer main does cross over the property in this location. This
means that, when combined with the front yard setback, less than 20% of the lot can
accommodate any improvements.
In order to protect the public facilities in this location while also to allowing the Hartys
reasonable redevelopment opportunity of their property, staff recommend the Council
authorize the vacation of that portion of the South Hill Outlet Sewer easement located on
properties legally described as Lots 8, 9 and 10 Churchill, Nelson and Slaughter’s Addition
to Stillwater, located at 808 6th Avenue South and the acceptance of a new, delineated 20’
sewer easement on the same property.

Re: Easement confinement
Matt & Michelle Harty
808 6th Ave S, Stillwater MN 55082
I am writing to request that the City of Stillwater allow confinement of the easements on my property
located at 808 6th Ave S , Stillwater MN. The location address consists of 3 separate lots. The lots are
Churchill, Nelson and Slaughter’s addition lots 8,9,10 (see attached map lots and lines).
I would like to request permission from the City of Stillwater to confine the current “blanket” easements
to 10 ft on each side of the city sewer line running across the 3 lots. The 20 ft easements (10 ft on each
side of sewer line) is the required distance stated by the City of Stillwater engineering departments.
Per request I am attaching a certified survey showing the Legal Description with language describing the
proposed easement confinement.
Please let me know if you have any question or need additional material.
Thanks,
Matt Harty

DATE: January 4, 2019
TO: Mayor and Council Members
SUBJECT: Planning division work plan
FROM: Bill Turnblad, Community Development Director
INTRODUCTION
The planning division of the community development department will be involved in a
wide spectrum of projects in the next several years. The public works department will
take lead on some of the projects, and the planning division will take lead on others. The
project list includes some that are approved and funded, some that are in the Capital
Improvement Plan but not funded, some that are mandated by the state, some that have
been requested by the City Council, some from the 2008 Comprehensive Plan, some that
would require additional staff if implemented, some from approved park plans, some that
have been identified by the Planning Division.
To manage resources necessary to accomplish the list of projects, a four year work plan has
been developed. The timeline for a few of the projects is set by the state, other entities, or
funding sources. For these projects there is not much flexibility in the schedule. However,
for most of the projects, timing is flexible. Therefore, it is expected that the attached draft
work plan will be revised over time.
COMMENTS
The Council has already considered the first draft of this work plan and made suggestions
for additions and revisions. Those suggestions are included in this revised work plan.
Like the City’s Capital Improvement Plan, a number of the projects in this work plan are
not yet funded. So, like the CIP, this work plan serves in part like a guide. While it would
be great to complete each project in the year that it is listed, that probably will not happen.
But, simply by being on the work list, the projects will not be forgotten.
Project scopes have not been established yet, so the time resources shown in the work plan
are only estimates. As each project is considered for approval in a particular year’s
operating or capital budget, the scope will be defined and the actual cost in time will
become clearer.
Planning Division work plan
December 29, 2018
Page 2
Since the 2040 Comprehensive Plan is still in the process of being reviewed, its projects are
not included in the work plan yet. Only the state mandated zoning code update is
included. And the Chestnut Street Plaza is included because $2 million in State funding is
available for the project.
A summary of the higher profile projects by year:
2019 – Miscellaneous ordinance amendments including signage, diseased trees, outside
storage and perhaps residential parking; adoption of 2040 Comp Plan; develop
GreenStep Cities work plan; create new development ordinance(s) for the Minar
Neighborhood; design the riverwalk and shoreline restoration south of Nelson
Street; create a street lighting plan for downtown, develop a master park plan for
the Aiple property; construct park improvements for the former Palmer property
(2019-20); and pursue creation of the City’s first local historic district.
2020 – Design Chestnut Street Plaza; construct riverwalk and shoreline restoration;
construct park improvements for former Aiple property; create remodeling plans
for Bergstein buildings; consider creation of housing maintenance and rental
property ordinances
2021 – Construct Chestnut Street Plaza; design improvements in Bridgeview Park; design
pedestrian improvements for Commercial Street between 2nd Street and Main Street
