Adopted by the City Council of the City of Stillwater this 4th day of June, 2019. Mike Polehna,Vice Mayor ATTEST: Beth Wolf, City Clerk From Stacey Kislenger, Director of Stillwater Residence June 3, 2019 I have been around Stillwater residence since my mom started in 1988. I was 11 years old, wide eyed and clueless to what was behind the doors to my mom's work. I remember having to go to mom's work because with 3 of us around the same age we couldn't be alone at the house and not fight, argue, and make repeated calls to my mom before 8am. So we'd sit in the living room with the residents. As they had breakfast we would eat ours. "These people" .. became my family over the years. Some would come, some would go, but the core group was the same. Very similar to now. The ages were an older crowd mostly but as the years went by the group changed to a new dimension of people. Not a bad change but a different change. Over the years I have worked at Stillwater from working in the kitchen to housekeeping to med room and now I am the director of Stillwater Residence. Over the years I have learned about things that I would have never learned about had I not worked there. I work with people that have lived in conditions that I only have seen in movies. That families never celebrated holidays because the parents were busy getting high or in jail. People that have made bad decisions and have to live with what they have done and still overcome odds against them. People that have come from poor families, rich families, no families. Mental illness is not contagious. It doesn't matter where you come from, who you are, where you've been. It doesn't discriminate. You can't "cure" it. It's something I would never wish on anyone. I wish people could take 10 min and live the life of one of the residents. Nobody understands the voices people hear that they can't get to go away. The torture of not being "normal". The anxiety attacks. The thoughts of not wanting to go on and ending their lives. For some Stillwater Residence is all they have. They finally have a place where THEY feel secure and safe. They aren't there to hurt anyone or cause problems. They are there to be a part of a recovery, a family, a stepping stone to make things right, just live and not be judged. For some to finally breathe. I've heard about the small spaces they have and how many people in one house, but has anyone stopped to ask them what they think ? Stillwater Residence is a choice.. it's not a punishment or someone being forced to be there. Their "60 square feet of space" (most are bigger) is better than the tent off the freeway, the park bench, the cold ground, the dirty sidewalk. Eating meals maybe every other day or out of a garbage can. Yes, this is what some have come from!! Instead they have a place to call home, meals, electric, running water, they have medications, doctor appointments, companionship, friends, supervision. They have people that truly care about them. This is not just a job for me. These residents are my family as well. I care about them. I feel pain when they are hurting. I work 24 hours a day 7 days a week and wouldn't change a thing. I will always take a call from a resident having a hard time and all they need is someone to talk to. I have residents that have left and come back to visit because they are grateful to have had Stillwater Residence to be at while they needed it. Some people really need to look at the bigger picture. Be thankful you or anyone in your family has not had issues with mental illness or chemical dependency. It is a long illness that nobody chooses. It was the hand they were dealt in life. I am thankful to have met each and every one of the residents that have been through the doors ... good or bad. Each has shown me that we need to have compassion for each other. We need to help each other. We need to reach out to others because we never know what others have been through in life or where they came from. Mental illness could happen to anyone .. our sons, daughters, parents, friends. Instead of shunning the unknown, embrace and learn. These are people with feelings and emotions. They are smart, intelligent, caring, funny and just need to belong like everyone else. I've had my child at the residence since she was 1 week old and have no fear that she would ever be in harm's way just as my mom thought 31 years ago about me and my brothers. We have made changes over the years as the times have changed. We will never be a "perfectly" run facility but we try everyday to make a difference for those with challenges placed in front of them. We try to go above and beyond what is expected of us as a facility. We want the best services we can provide for our residents. We encourage anyone that hasn't been by to come over, meet the residents, meet the staff. Get to know the unknown behind the walls of 220 West Olive Street. Get to know the wonderful people we have living there. Put aside what you've been told or what you think you know. They are an amazing group of people with hearts that are full of love for the people around them.

ADJOURN   Date: May 31, 2019 TO: Mayor and Council FROM: Kori Land, City Attorney SUBJECT: Nuisance Ordinance Options The Council has requested that Staff review the City’s nuisance ordinances to determine how they can be improved to address certain property issues. There are many ordinances that already attempt to address nuisances, such as administrative citations, problem properties, abandoned cars, weeds, noise and many others. While all these ordinances address a particular situation, there is no uniform mechanism for enforcement and the one area that is missing from the Code is how to address unsheltered storage. Attached is a presentation giving some options to use the ordinances that you have in the Code, with some adjustments, and adding or modifying the enforcement tools. While criminal citations are always an option, there are alternative enforcement tools such as: 1. Declaring certain violations of city code as Public Nuisances so that they can be abated and assessed efficiently; and 2. Improving the Administrative Citations process. The overall concept would involve a revision of the Nuisance ordinance to clarify which types of violations of the City Code are public nuisance activities (adding an ordinance for unsheltered storage). The enforcement section of the ordinance would have a process for City Staff to follow, utilizing the most appropriate enforcement tool, which could be abatement, administrative citation or criminal court, depending on the situation. We seek direction from the Council as to how you want us to proceed on developing these ordinances, specifically regarding the following: 1. Do you want us to prepare an unsheltered storage ordinance? 2. Do you want us to revise the Nuisance ordinance so that abatement/assessment is an option for all violations that are declared to be a Public Nuisance? 3. Do you want us to revise the Administrative Citation ordinance to make it more efficient and provide a clearer appeal process with an objective decision‐maker such as the Office of Administrative Hearings?

Administration TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Tom McCarty, City Administrator DATE: May 28, 2019 SUBJECT: State of Minnesota 2020 Capital Budget Request BACKGROUND The Minnesota Department of Management and Budget (MMB) has provided notice to local governments that any State 2020 capital funding requests must be submitted to MMB by June 14, 2019 in order to be considered in the next state legislative session (see attached MMB Memo). In general, state capital funding requests that have regional public impact and a 50% funding match stand a better likelihood of funding support through the State's bonding process. The capital funding request also requires submittal of any background studies and architectural/engineering analyses that have been completed for the proposed project. And the City Council must be in support of the project funding request. Staff has reviewed the City's 2019-2023 Capital Improvement Plan for projects that could be submitted State 2020 capital funding (See attached 2019-2023 CIP Summary). The Bergstein Buildings Restoration project is scheduled for 2020 at an estimated cost of $1,600,000. A preliminary architectural analysis including possible uses of the historic buildings was completed in 2015. The business plan for use of the Bergstein buildings is scheduled to be completed this year and there is the possibility of partnerships with other entities and additional funding sources to redevelop and reuse the historic Bergstein buildings along the St. Croix River and adjacent to the Loop Trail. Submittal of a 2020 Capital Budget request provides the potential to partner with the State for up 1h of the project cost and will present a legislative priority for the City in the next legislative session in 2020. There are also a number of future City projects that will have a regional public impact and may be appropriate for submittal for state funding in future years, though the background analyses have not yet been completed. These projects include: Aiple Property Park Development, Bridgeview Park Development, Municipal Boat Dock, and potentially future projects at the St. Croix Valley Recreation Center. ACTION Staff recommends that the City Council support the submittal of a State 2020 Capital Budget request through MMB for the Bergstein Buildings Restoration project scheduled to commence in 2020 . m, Memo MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET Date: May 2, 2019 To : Officials of Local Governments and Political Subdivisions From: Myron Frans, Commissioner h/ II RE: 2020 Capital Budget Instructions I am pleased to present the 2020capital budget instructions. Capital project requests are due to Minnesota Management and Budget through the Capital Budget System (CBS) by June 14. Prosperity and opportunity for all people in all parts of our state stems from the well-being of their community. While communities across Minnesota may look different, many share the same goals and face the same challenges. Governor Walz's capital budget will continue to focus critical projects and strategic investments across the state and give local leaders tools they need to succeed, with particular focus on projects that: • Address life and safety issues • Preserve existing infrastructure and repair existing facilities before starting new projects • Minimize construction tails and operating costs Key dates • June 14, 2019 -Complete preliminary requests are due to Minnesota Management and Budget through the Capital Budget System (CBS). • July 15, 2019 -MMB submits all local government requests to the Legislature (required by law). • Oct. 18, 2019 -Final bonding project requests are due in CBS for consideration by the Governor. • Jan. 15, 2020 -Governor Walz presents the capital budget to the Legislature.

OPEN FORUM John Oertel, 118 Fifth Street South, approached the Council about Stillwater Residence on Olive Street. He stated concerns have been brought up previously and the process seems to have stalled. Neither the City, nor County, nor State seem to be clearly in control. He reviewed the history of neighborhood reporting of concerns. In 2018 there were roughly 100 police calls for a variety of issues. The facility appears to be heavily or over populated, understaffed and operating without significant oversight. In April 2018, a female resident was sexually assaulted by a male resident who was a registered sex offender. Neighbors are not advocating any aggressive changeover or reduction, but ask to revisit the issues. Mayor Kozlowski replied that he does not think that anyone on City staff has let this slide. The City Attorney is aware of the issues and the Council is working on the nuisance property ordinance. City Administrator McCarty added that he has a meeting scheduled with the County Administrator tomorrow about the Stillwater residence. Councilmember Weidner asked what the County’s response has been; and Mr. Oertel answered that he has not been before the County Board but has talked to Commissioner Kriesel and was told the County does not have authority to determine who to place in the facility. They have addressed some of the problems, but cannot point to a set of regulations or who is in charge. Councilmember Weidner inquired what the neighbors expect the City to do; and City Attorney Land responded that this issue was brought to her attention when she was retained by the City. Group homes are not unique in Minnesota. If the City tries to regulate them through zoning or other activities, it would be considered discrimination. However, the public safety concerns may be addressed. Regulatory authority is complicated. The State regulates residential establishments that provide certain services. The County provides people with residential living options that might be suited for them. The City is monitoring the nuisance activity and, as the Police Department logs public nuisance activities that qualify under a particular statute, the City will use it against this property to attempt to abate the nuisance activities. If successful, authorities would be able to remove the nuisance occupants from the residence for a period of one year. Councilmember Weidner pointed out that the City has no control over the types of people placed in the facility. He urged the neighbors to attend the County Board meeting. Jeff Johnson, 309 South Fifth Street, stated the neighbors have met with the County administration twice, with members of the County Board and the State. The State has no jurisdiction over this property. It had been a State‐licensed care facility but is no longer. It is currently considered board and lodging. He read from the County’s license regulations. The County only wants to know about change of ownership, construction or alterations to the property. He wants to make sure it goes on public record that the reason the neighbors are here is that they have concern for the people within the facility who need help and who have fears and concerns about other residents who are threatening to them. The neighbors wish to circumvent a disaster, serious injury, fire, or another assault in the neighborhood. City Council Meeting May 21, 2019 Page 3 of 9 Jennifer Englund, 303 Olive St. West, stated the facility’s demographics are changing to include people with mental illness, substance abuse and sex off enses including with minors. Neighbors have seen multiple 911 calls on a weekly basis. They have brought up concerns in the past but nothing has changed. She fears that gun violenc e may happen next. She added that her daughter was approached by one of the male residents a couple years ago while playing in the yard. She asked that the Council help make the owner accountable to make changes. On a question by Councilmember Weidner about what tools the Council has to do that; and the City does not place people there. That is why the County needs to hear the concerns. Mayor Kozlowski stated he understands the frustration, but Councilmember Weidner is right, the City has no tool to mitigate the issue. It is very challenging. The neighbors must address the County because that is the licensing authority. Mr. Johnson suggested, since the facility has changed from a care facility to a board and lodging facility, the City look at regulating it similarly to regulations developed by the City for Air BnBs and Bed and Breakfasts. STAFF REPORTS Police Chief Gannaway reported that he and the City Engineer have met with FEMA representatives to request reimbursement for $500,000 flood control costs. He stated 200 people attended the Bike Rodeo. He thanked the community for attending the Law Enforcement Memorial Event. Councilmember Junker asked for more enforcement of speed limits on North Main Street. City Clerk Wolf indicated that the Gypsy Moth treatment will take place on May 23. Community Development Director Turnblad conveyed a request from the Water Street Inn to rent Parking Lot #5 from May 22‐31 to use as an assembly and staging area for the top of the tower. Staff recommends charging the standard parking space fee. Council consensus was to support the use of Parking Lot #5 for the assembly of the tower for the Water Street Inn with the standard fee to be charged. Mayor Kozlowski asked Public Works Director Sanders to check out a pothole on Stillwater Avenue between Third and Second Streets. City Administrator McCarty reported the State budget bill is pending with the Highway 36/Manning project still on the list. He reminded the Council of the League of Minnesota Cities Conference June 26‐28. A Strategic Planning meeting for the Council will be scheduled. An RFP has gone out for an operational review of Public Works. Library Director Troendle noted that Showtime at Your Library reading program starts June 1. He thanked the Ivy Club for beautification efforts.

All in favor. PUBLIC HEARINGS Case 2019‐11 to consider a request by Randall Benson, property owner representative and the Goodman Group, for the consideration of a Final PUD, Preliminary Plat and Final Plat, for phase II of The Lakes of Stillwater Property. Community Development Director Turnblad stated that in 2017 the City approved a four‐ phased Planned Unit Development for ILHC of Stillwater (known as the Goodman Group) to develop a Senior Living Campus near the north end of Long Lake. Known as the Lakes at Stillwater, Phase I is nearly complete. Birchwood Landing, LLC of ILHC of Stillwater, LLC represented by the Goodman Group, has submitted a request to develop two existing outlots into four parcels. The four parcels are proposed to contain 30 independent living units with one enclosed common area. The request includes: 1) Preliminary Plat for Birchwood Landing: 8 lots; 2) Final Plat for Birchwood Landing: 8 lots; and 3) Development Agreement Amendment. The trail to be constructed will connect the existing County Road 12 trail with 72nd Street. The Planning Commission recommends approval. Staff recommends approval of the Preliminary Plat, the Final Plat, and the Development Agreement Amendment with five conditions. Mayor Kozlowski opened the public hearing. Bill Howell, Lakes at Stillwater, offered to answer questions. Mayor Kozlowski closed the public hearing. Motion by Councilmember Polehna, seconded by Councilmember Weidner, to adopt Resolution 2019‐063, a resolution approving the First Amendment to the Development Agreement for ILHC of Stillwater, LLC; Resolution 2019‐064, a resolution approving the Preliminary Plat for The Lakes at Stillwater, No. 2; and Resolution 2019‐065, a resolution approving the Final Plat for The Lakes at Stillwater, No. 2, Case No. 2019‐11. All in favor. City Council Meeting May 21, 2019 Page 5 of 9 UNFINISHED BUSINESS CPC Case No. 2019‐05 to consider amending the Short Term Home Rental Ordinance. The purpose of the amendment is to clarify existing language and to make minor procedural changes. Community Development Director Turnblad reviewed that on May 7, 2019 the City Council approved the first reading of an ordinance amending the Short Term Home Rental (STHR) regulations and licensing program. The Council asked for more information on background checks, fees and fines to be brought back for the second reading. He provided suggested language for background checks. The current license fee is $200 and costs are almost $300 so staff recommends increasing the license fee to $300. Costs to administer the use permit are about $450 and staff recommends charging $500. Neither change requires an ordinance change. The amounts can be part of the fee schedule and left out of the ordinance. Costs for administering fines are being covered. For the first verified complaint, the fine is $250, second is $500, third is $750. If the Council wants fines to be punitive, they can be increased. Councilmember Weidner expressed that he feels fines should be punitive. For instance, the fine for the first violation could be $500, second one $1,000 and $2,000 after that. Councilmember Collins indicated that the Planning Commission consensus was to keep the first one at $250 but increase the fines for the second and third violations substantially. Motion by Councilmember Weidner, seconded by Councilmember Junker, to adopt Ordinance No. 1124, an Ordinance amending and renumbering Short Term Home Rental Regulations in the Stillwater City Code, Case No. 2019‐05. All in favor. Ordinance amending City Code Section 33‐5: Minimum Standards for Construction and Reconstruction of Driveways. Community Development Director Turnblad reported that the Council tabled the first reading of this ordinance on May 7. Widths of existing driveways vary considerably, depending upon the neighborhood. If the Council is looking for a single maximum driveway width that would apply to all residential neighborhoods, a reasonable maximum may be 20 feet. If the Council wishes to allow existing driveways to be reconstructed at their present width, a clause could be added stating, “or the existing width, whichever is greater.” Council consensus was to allow existing widths to remain when driveways are reconstructed. Motion by Councilmember Weidner, seconded by Councilmember Collins, to approve first reading of an Ordinance amending Section 33‐5 of the Stillwater City Code with the additional clause, “or the existing width, whichever is greater.” All in favor. Lowell Park Utility Box Mural Project City Administrator McCarty reminded the Council that in 2018 the Council approved a proposal by Fitzie Heimdahl to wrap or paint city‐owned utility boxes in the downtown area. Seven artist proposals were reviewed by an independent review panel. Staff recommends that the Council approve the submitted artwork for seven city‐owned utility boxes and authorize staff to release the $600 City contribution from the Community Beautification City Council Meeting May 21, 2019 Page 6 of 9 Fund. All artwork activity must be coordinated with the City Public Works Department. He will work with Mr. Heimdahl on how to protect the artwork from wear and damage. Motion by Councilmember Collins, seconded by Councilmember Junker, to approve the artwork for the Lowell Park Utility Box Mural Project and authorize staff to release $600. All in favor. Issuance of Conduit Revenue Bonds for Long Lake Villas City Administrator McCarty pointed out that Tim Nolde of Long Lake Villa II, LLLP and Long Lake Villa II, LLC, approached the City regarding the issuance of conduit revenue bonds by the City for a multifamily affordable housing project known as Long Lake Villas. The project consists of acquisition and renovation of an existing approximately 59‐unit multifamily affordable housing facility. The anticipated amount of the proposed revenue bond is $13 million. Staff recommends the Council approve the resolution calling for a public hearing on a proposal for a housing finance program and giving preliminary approval to the issuance of housing facility revenue bonds to finance a multifamily housing project pursuant to Minnesota law. Further staff also recommends that a one‐time issuer administration fee of 1⁄2 of 1% of the principal amount of the bonds actually issued be charged by the City, payable at closing of the bond sale. Councilmember Junker asked if there is any restriction on the proceeds; and John Nolde, representing Long Lake Villa II, replied that it is to be used for qualified residential projects, which means at least 20% of the units are affordable to people at 50% of area median income. Most bond costs will go to acquisition of the existing project and new hard construction costs around $20,000/unit additional rehab such as roofs and siding. Tax exempt bonds in MN are very competitive and there is a shortage, so there is no guarantee that this project will receive the allocation of tax exempt bonds. Motion by Councilmember Weidner, seconded by Councilmember Polehna, to adopt Resolution 2019‐066, a resolution calling for a Public Hearing on a proposal for a Housing Finance Program and giving preliminary approval to the issuance of Housing Facility Revenue Bonds to finance a Multifamily Housing Project pursuant to Minn esota Law, and authorizing the publication of a notice of the hearing. All in favor. NEW BUSINESS Brown’s Creek Riparian Shading Project License Agreement Public Works Director Sanders reported that the Brown’s Creek Watershed District (BCWD) is requesting approval of the Brown’s Creek Riparian Project. The project located on the City property at the intersection of Manning and Highway 96 entails planting trees, shrubs and native vegetation to create more shaded area over the creek in order to reduce the temperature of the water. The project would be fully funded by the BCWD. The license agreement would allow the BCWD to enter City property to perform the work upon notice. This agreement would be over a twenty five year period. Staff and the City Attorney recommend approval of the agreement. Motion by Councilmember Polehna, seconded by Councilmember Junker, to approve the License Agreement between the City of Stillwater and Brown’s Creek Watershed District for the Brown’s Creek Riparian Shading Project. All in favor. City Council Meeting May 21, 2019 Page 7 of 9 Winter Parking Restrictions on Union Alley Community Development Director Turnblad informed the Council that at the request of the Public Works Department, the Downtown Parking Commission recommended that the City Council prohibit parking on the east side of Union Alley between Chestnut Street and Myrtle Street from November 1‐March 31, to help with snow plowing. Motion by Councilmember Weidner, seconded by Councilmember Polehna, to adopt Resolution 2019‐067, a resolution approving parking restrictions on East Side of Union Alley during the winter. All in favor. Summer Tuesdays 2019 Event Corey Buettner explained that Summer Tuesdays is proposed to take place on seven Tuesdays from July 9‐August 20. The event will be charged for the use of the parking lot, electrical boxes, amphitheater, trash receptacles and a base fee according to the 2019 Fee Schedule. Summer Tuesdays is requesting the $3,500 base fee be waived as was done in 2018, because the event is free and operates on a very small budget. Motion by Councilmember Polehna, seconded by Councilmember Collins, to approve the 2019 Summer Tuesday Event Agreement and to waive the $3,500 base fee. All in favor. Authorize Feasibility Study for Neal Avenue Street Improvement Project Public Works Director Sanders stated that Neal Avenue was considered for street improvements in 2016, but the improvement was stalled due to a clause in the Orderly Annexation Agreement where annexed properties could not be assessed for five years once annexed into the City. The five year timeframe expires in 2020 and it is proposed to improve Neal Avenue from Boutwell Road to White Pine Way. The entire length of Neal Avenue is proposed to have a trail added on the west side. Staff recommen ds that the Council authorize a feasibility study for the Neal Avenue Street Improvement Project between Boutwell Road and White Pine Way. Motion by Councilmember Weidner, seconded by Councilmember Junker, to adopt Resolution 2019‐068, resolution ordering preparation of feasibility report for Neal Avenue improvements (Project 2019‐08). All in favor. Authorize Feasibility Study for 2020 County Road 5 Improvement Project Public Works Director Sanders reported that Washington County is planning road improvements on County Road 5 for Olive and Owens Street from Deer Path to Sycamore Street. The work proposed is a mill and overlay and street reconstruction. The County will pay for a majority of the project. A portion of the costs will charged to the City. It proposed that these costs be assessed to the affected property owners. Staff recommends that the Council authorize a feasibility study for the 2020 County Road 5 Improvement Project. Motion by Councilmember Polehna, seconded by Councilmember Collins, to adopt Resolution 2019‐069, resolution ordering preparation of Feasibility Report for 2020 County Road 5 Project (Project 2019‐07). All in favor. City Council Meeting May 21, 2019 Page 8 of 9 COUNCIL REQUEST ITEMS Lift & Loop Bridge Celebration Councilmember Polehna updated the Council that the Lift and Loop Celebration needs to be postponed until May 15‐16, 2020 because the lift bridge will not open until after Thanksgiving due to flooding.

He would offer two types of rides. One for private events such as birthday parties and weddings. The other would be public rides staged from the private parking lot owned by Mark Desch. REQUEST Mr. Rydeen is requesting the City Council to approve a license for the carriage rides to use public streets. DETAILS Public rides The proposed plan is to offer a one horse carriage for public rides on Saturdays, Sundays and occasional Fridays. Hours of operation would be no earlier than noon and no later than 9 PM. Mr. Rydeen owns and trains the horses and would also be the carriage driver. Proposed carriage Page 2 The horses are kept in Stillwater Township, where they would return each night. The carriage itself is stored at his parents’ home at 418 West Maple Street in Stillwater. A small horse trailer would be parked there when the horse is working. The route between 418 West Maple and downtown would be: Maple to 5th Street to Laurel Street to 3rd Street to Mulberry Street to Desch parking lot. The staging area, where the horse and carriage would stand waiting to give rides, would be in the Desch parking lot. Proposed downtown route The proposed downtown route is shown to the right. During high water when Sam Bloomer Way is closed, the alternate route (in red in the map) would be through Municipal Lots 2 and 3 back to Water Street. Rides will not occur on Main Street. Private events The private carriage ride service would be offered for weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, or other celebrations. As with the public rides, Mr. Rydeen would be bringing one of his trained horses from Stillwater Township to his parents’ home on Maple St. He would then drive the horse and carriage to the customer’s location (home, park or church). The rides would typically be given in residential neighborhoods on streets close to the customer’s location, avoiding busy streets as much as possible. There would also be the possibility of being requested to take a wedding party to a downtown reception venue or for pictures. COMMENTS 1. The Rydeen carriage rides generated no complaints or public safety concerns last summer. The staging area was kept clean and there were no traffic problems. 2. In addition to high water, the Water Street Inn construction project could necessitate use of the alternate route. ACTION REQUIRED The City Council should either approve, deny or table the request for the license. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the license with the conditions found in the attached resolution. Attachments: License Resolution RESOLUTION NO. 2019-____ RESOLUTION GRANTING LICENSE TO MATTHEW RYDEEN FOR THE OPERATION OF HORSE DRAWN CARRIAGE RIDES ON CITY STREETS WHEREAS, Matthew Rydeen has made a request for a license to operate a single-horse carriage on public roadways; and WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Stillwater reviewed the request at their regularly scheduled meeting on June 4, 2019 and found it acceptable. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Stillwater City Council hereby grants license to Matthew Rydeen to operate a single-horse carriage on public roadways subject to the following conditions: 1. Upon review and approval of the license request by the Police Department and the Public Works Department, the City Clerk is authorized to issue a license to Matthew Rydeen for his horse drawn carriage. 2. Matthew Rydeen may operate one single-horse carriage in Stillwater. 3. A license must be applied for annually from the Community Development Department. The license is valid through December 31 of the year issued. 4. No license will be issued or renewed without proof of general liability insurance in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 per occurrence. 5. Operating restrictions and conditions: a. The horse drawn carriage must not be operated upon a public trail or sidewalk. b. The horse drawn carriage will be subject to inspection by the City of Stillwater public safety officials. c. The carriage driver must have in his possession a valid driver's license while in control of the carriage, and shall operate the carriage in compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local traffic laws, and in a manner so as to assure the safety of persons and property. d. The carriage driver must obey and comply with any lawful order or direction of any police officer, traffic control agent, or regulatory services inspector. e. The approved route and alternate route for the carriage operation is as seen in Exhibit A. f. The City reserves the right to alter or limit carriage operations to specified routes and streets if required for public safety reasons. g. If Sam Bloomer Way or Water Street are inaccessible because of high water or other reasons, the carriage operator must receive approval the Stillwater Police Department for an alternate route. h. The horse and carriage may only stage from private parking lots in the downtown area. i. Animal waste must be cleaned up as soon as practical and disposed of properly. In no instance may it remain overnight on public streets or on private property downtown. j. Upon receipt of any serious substantiated complaints, as determined to be serious and substantiated by the City Administrator, the license will be placed on the next available City Council agenda for review. Adopted by the Stillwater City Council this 4th day of June, 2019. _____________________________ Mike Polehna, Vice Mayor ATTEST: __________________________ Beth Wolf, City Clerk EXHIBIT A Memorandum To: Mayor & City Council From: Beth Wolf, City Clerk Date: 5/31/2019 Re: Human Rights Commission Appointment Claire Sand’s term expired on May 1st, that left an opening on the Human Rights Commission.

The City retained WSB Engineering to develop design guidelines for uniform stormwater management throughout the City. The adoption of these guidelines, in addition to certain ordinance amendments, are required for the City to become compliant with the MPCA regulations. While the existing City Code Section 31-525, Stormwater Management Practices, a part of conservation regulations, will be transferred to City Code Section 35-26 with the same title, there are a few additions proposed to be incorporated:  The new ordinance will reference all applicable Minnesota Statutes and Rules  Acknowledges the MPCA is the permitting authority for Land Disturbing activities requiring a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit  Exempts minor land disturbing activities (landscaping, fence installation, etc.), utility construction and agricultural operations from stormwater management. It additionally CPC Case No. 2019-16 Page 3 indicates that, at the discretion of the City, exemption may be permitted if certain standards and requirements are met; one of the requirements is for infiltration practices of NPDES general construction permit work a wellhead Emergency Response Area (ERA) and within a Drinking Water Supply Management Area (DWSMA) with a moderate to high vulnerability.  Enhances inspection authority and maintenance requirements while adding provisions for the city, after giving due notice, to correct violations of design standards or maintenance needs, with costs assessed to the property owner. Also adds provisions for appeals,  Incorporates the design guidelines by reference, identifying application submittal requirements. On May 22nd the Planning Commission held a public hearing to review the attached Ordinance pertaining specifically to the Zoning Code and the Subdivision ordinance. SPECIFIC REQUEST a) a Zoning Text Amendment to conservation regulations, defining ‘Development’ and ‘Land Disturbing Activity or Activities’, clarifying provisions related to soil stripping and grading, and removal of City Code Section 31-525, Stormwater Management Practices; b) modification to Chapter 32, Subdivision Ordinance, identifying drainage plans shall conform to Engineering Design Guidelines; and c) modification to Chapter 35¸ Stormwater Drainage, to be compliant with the MPCA’s regulations, reference adopted Design Guidelines, outline the processes and procedures for plan review and approval, and designate the City’s Engineering Department as the responsible authority for administration; and d) adoption of the Engineering Design Guidelines for stormwater management. ANALYSIS Two sections of the City Code govern code changes: 1. Section 21-13 requires two readings of ordinances but sets no requirements for public hearings or standards for consideration 2. Municipal Code Section 31-205, Zoning Map and Zoning Text Amendment, indicates amendments may be made when: a. Public necessity, general community welfare and good zoning practice permit the amendment; and b. The proposed amendment is in general conformance with the principles, policies and land use designations set forth in the comprehensive plan. Although infiltration is required by the MPCA, and this amendment would bring the City into compliance with their requirements, the primary goal of this amendment is to clean up inconsistencies, clarifying processes and procedures, remove the stormwater management provisions from the Zoning Code, and adopt stormwater management design guidelines. The CPC Case No. 2019-16 Page 4 amendments to Chapter 32 and 35, and adoption of associated Engineering Design Guidelines, are a public necessity. The Comprehensive Plan incorporates the Local Surface Water Management Plan (LSWMP) by reference. Certain overall goals of the LSWMP are to:  Protect the City’s wetlands, lakes, streams and groundwater to preserve the functions and values of these resources for future generations.  Manage water resources and drainage systems on a citywide scale.  Manage land disturbance and increased impervious surfaces to prevent flooding and adverse impacts to water resources.  Control the rate of stormwater runoff from development to reduce downstream flooding and erosion.  Reduce pollutant loads and impacts to water bodies and encourage groundwater recharge, by reducing the volume of stormwater runoff from development and redevelopment.  Provide adequate storage and conveyance of runoff to protect the public safety and minimize property damage. This Zoning Text Amendment would further enable the City towards meeting these goals. Question could be raised over the City’s inclusion of additionally exempted projects, specifically for projects where work proposed in an ERA with a DWSMA with moderate to high vulnerability. The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) indicates infiltration is generally not appropriate in these areas due to potential for adverse effects to the aquifer used for drinking water supply. While the MDH and the MPCA indicate Local Government Units (LGUs) may initiate a higher level of engineering to determine infiltration will not have a negative impact on the drinking water system, Part III.1.j.vii of the Construction Stormwater General Permit prohibits infiltration for LGUs without a current MS4 permit. While the City was granted coverage under the State’s MS4 permitting system in 2007 and could, therefore, initiate a higher level of engineering review for potential infiltration in these areas, city staff believe prohibiting infiltration in these areas helps balance natural resource protection goals, including those specifically pertaining to drinking water protection. POSSIBLE ACTIONS The City Council has the following options available to them: A. If the City Council finds 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, the City Council may move to approve the requested ordinance amendments. B. Make findings that the public necessity, general community welfare and good zoning practice do not permit the amendment or that the proposed amendment is not in general conformance with the principles, policies and land use designations set forth in the comprehensive plan, the City Council may move to deny the requested ordinance amendments. CPC Case No. 2019-16 Page 5 C. Table consideration for more information. FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATION The general community welfare would be furthered if there are clear stormwater management practices that are consistency applied throughout the City. Additionally, the field of local government land planning permit the amendment. The proposed amendment is also in general conformance with the principles, policies and land use designations set forth in the comprehensive plan. Planning Commission The Planning Commission has made a favorable recommendation of approval of a Zoning Text Amendment addressing modifications to conservation regulations. City Staff Staff recommends the City Council move to approve the attached ordinances pertaining to conservation regulations and the management of stormwater within the City of Stillwater.

Applicants must also reimburse the city for actual engineering costs incurred by the city for review of the application. Subd. 7. Approval standards. Standards for approval of a stormwater management plan are as follows: (a) Failure to meet requirements. No stormwater management plan that fails to meet the standards in this Section 31- may be approved. (b) Site dewatering. Water pumped from the site shall be treated by temporary sedimentation basins, grit chambers, sand filters, upflow chambers, hydrocycones, swirl concentrators or other appropriate controls as appropriate. Water may not be discharged in a manner that causes erosion or flooding of the site or receiving channels or a wetland. 10 (c) Waste and material disposal. All waste and unused building materials (including garbage, debris, cleaning wastes, wastewater, toxic materials or hazardous materials) shall be properly disposed of off the site and not allowed to be carried by runoff into a receiving channel or storm sewer system. (d) Tracking. Graveled roads, access drives and parking areas must be of sufficient width and length or prevent sediment from being tracked onto public or private roadways. Any sediment reaching a public or private road shall be removed by street cleaning, (not flushing), before the end of each workday. (e) Drain inlet protection. All storm drain inlets must be protected during construction until control measures are in place with a straw bale, silt fence or equivalent barrier meeting accepted design criteria, standards and specifications contained in the MPCA publication "Protecting Water Quality in Urban Areas." (f) Site erosion control. (1) Projects meeting the requirements for a Minnesota Pollution Control Agency General Stormwater Permit for Construction must supply a copy of the permit and the Stormwater Pollution Prevision Plan prior to beginning construction. (2) The following provisions shall apply to projects which require a grading permit pursuant to the city Code, but do not require a Minnesota Pollution Control Agency General Stormwater Permit for Construction: i. No grading shall occur until downstream perimeter control is in place. Perimeter control may consist of sod strips, mulch berms, or silt fence. Catch-basin inlet protection shall be placed in downstream catch-basins prior to grading. ii. Silt fence must be dug in to prevent runoff from washing beneath the silt fence. Silt fence shall be cleaned out any time sediment reaches one-third of the height of the silt fence. iii. Prior to beginning grading, an approved method for preventing vehicles from tracking soil onto public streets (i.e., rock construction entrance) shall be installed. iv. Any soil washed or tracked off site shall be removed within 24 hours. Any costs the city incurs in cleaning off-site sediment in place longer than 24 hours will be charged against the grading escrow required for the project. v. Erosion protection shall be provided on disturbed ground left inactive for 14 days. vi. Any soil stockpiles shall be surrounded with silt fence or covered with plastic. vii. Any slopes greater than 3:1 shall be covered with sod, erosion control blanket, or an approved alternative. viii. The grading escrow will not be released until an inspection by the city demonstrates that there is no more potential for erosion, that restoration is completed, and that all temporary sediment and erosion control measures have been removed from the site. 11 (c) Stormwater management criteria for permanent facilities. Stormwater management criteria for permanent facilities are as follows: 1. An applicant must install or construct, on or for the proposed land- disturbing or development activity, all stormwater management facilities necessary to manage increased runoff so that the two-year, ten-year and 100-year storm peak discharge rates existing before the proposed development are not increased and accelerated channel erosion will not occur as a result of the proposed land- disturbing or development activity. An applicant may also make an in-kind or monetary contribution to the development and maintenance of community stormwater management facilities designed to serve multiple land-disturbing and development activities undertaken by one or more persons, including the applicant. 2. The applicant must give consideration to reducing the need for stormwater management facilities by incorporating the use of natural topography and land cover such as wetlands, ponds, natural swales and depressions as they exist before development to the degree that they can accommodate the additional flow of water without compromising the integrity or quality of the wetland or pond. 3. The following stormwater management practices must be investigated in developing a stormwater management plan in the following descending order of preference: i. Infiltration of runoff on the site, if suitable soil conditions are available for use; ii. Flow attenuation by use of open vegetated swales and natural depressions; iii. Stormwater retention facilities; and iv. Stormwater detention facilities. 4. A combination of successive practices may be used to achieve the applicable minimum control requirements specified in subsection (g)3.i. of this Section 31-525. Justification shall be provided by the applicant for the method selected. (h) Design standards. Stormwater detention facilities constructed in the city must be designed according to the National Urban Runoff Program (NURP), wet basin design criteria and the urban best management practices as reflected in the MPCA publication "Protecting Water Quality in Urban Areas," and must contain, at a minimum, the following design factors: (1) A permanent pond surface area equal to two percent of the impervious area draining to the pond or one percent of the entire area draining to the pond, whichever amount is greater; 12 (2) An average permanent pool depth of four to ten feet; (3) As an alternative to subsections (h)(1) and (h)(2) of this Section 31-525 that the volume of permanent pool be equal to or greater than the runoff from a two- inch rainfall for the fully developed site; (4) A permanent pool length-to-width ratio of three to one or greater; (5) A minimum protective shelf extending ten feet into the permanent pool with a slope of ten to one beyond which slopes should not exceed three to one; (6) A protective buffer strip of vegetation surrounding the permanent pool at a minimum width of one rod (16.5 feet); (7) All stormwater detention facilities must have a device to keep oil, grease and other floatable material from moving downstream as a result of normal operations; (8) Stormwater detention facilities for new development must be sufficient to limit peak flows in each sub watershed to those that existed before the development for the ten-year storm event; also, calculations and hydrologic models used in determining peak flows must be submitted along with stormwater management plan; and (9) All stormwater detention facilities must have a forebay to remove coarse- grained particles prior to discharge into a watercourse or storage basin. (i) Wetlands. Wetlands requirements are as follows: (1) Runoff must not be discharged directly into wetlands without presettlement of the runoff. (2) A protective buffer strip of natural vegetation at least one rod (16.5 feet) in width must surround all wetlands. (3) Wetlands must not be drained or filled, wholly or partially, unless replaced by restoring or creating wetland areas of at least equal public value. Replacement must be guided by the following principles in descending order of priority: i. Avoiding the direct or indirect impact of the activity that may destroy or diminish the wetland; ii. Minimizing the impact by limiting the degree or magnitude of the wetland activity and its implementation; iii. Rectifying the impact by repairing, rehabilitating or restoring the affected wetland environment; iv. Reducing or eliminating the impact over time by preservation and maintenance operations during the life of the activity; and v. Compensating for the impact by replacing or providing substitute wetland resources or environments. Compensation including the replacement ratio and 13 quality or replacement must be consistent with the requirements outlined in the rules adopted by the board of water and soil resources to implementing the Wetland Conservation Act of 1991. (j) Catchbasins. All newly installed and rehabilitated catchbasins must be provided with a sump area for the collection of coarse-grained material. The basins must be cleaned when they are half-filled with material. The requirements of this subsection may be waived by the public works department if the requirements are not feasible. (k) Drain leaders. All newly constructed and reconstructed buildings must route drain leaders to storm sewer facilities or pervious areas wherein the runoff can be allowed to infiltrate. The flow ratio of water from the leaders must be controlled so no erosion occurs in the pervious areas. (l) Inspections and maintenance. All stormwater management facilities must be designed to minimize the need of maintenance, to provide access for maintenance purposes and to be structurally sound. All stormwater management facilities must have a plan of operation and maintenance that ensures continued effective removal of pollutants carried in stormwater runoff. The director of public works, or designated representative, must inspect all stormwater management facilities during construction, during the first year of operation and at least once every five years thereafter. The inspection records will be kept on file at the public works department for a period of six years. It is the responsibility of the applicant to obtain any easements or property interests to allow needed access to the stormwater management facilities for inspection and maintenance purposes. (m) Models; methodologies; computations. Hydrologic models and design methodologies used for the determination of runoff and analysis of stormwater management structures must be approved by the director of public works. Plans, specifications and computations for stormwater management facilities submitted for review must be sealed and signed by a registered professional engineer. All computations must appear on the plans submitted for review, unless otherwise approved by the director of public works. (n) Watershed management plans; groundwater management plans. Stormwater management plans must be consistent with adopted watershed management plans and groundwater management plans prepared in accordance with Minn. Stat. §§ 103B.231 and 103B.255, respectively, and as approved by the state board of water and soil resources. (o) Easements. It is the responsibility of the applicant to obtain from adjacent property owners any necessary easements or other property interests concerning flowage of water. (p) Other controls. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this subdivision and other provisions of this chapter, the more restrictive standard prevails. 14 SECTION 5. Stillwater City Code Chapter 32-1 relating to the Subdivision Ordinance is hereby amended as follows: Sec. 32-1. – Subdivision ordinance. 32-1 Subd. 6 (6) regarding drainage requirements in subdivisions: (6) Drainage.

The City of Stillwater’s Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) identifies the goals and policies that define the City’s stormwater management program, which are implemented via the City’s Stormwater Management Ordinance of the Zoning Code (Chapter 31), the City’s Local Surface Water Management Plan, and these Engineering Design Guidelines. Stillwater’s stormwater requirements were written to meet the City’s goals to preserve, protect, and manage its water resources as well as to meet federal, state, and watershed stormwater regulations, and to meet the following objectives: • Minimize increases in stormwater runoff rates from any development to reduce flooding, siltation, and erosion and to maintain the integrity of stream channels; • Minimize increases in nonpoint source pollution caused by stormwater runoff from development which would otherwise degrade local water quality; • Minimize the total annual volume of surface water runoff that flows from any specific site during and following development so as not to exceed the predevelopment hydrologic regime to the maximum extent practicable; • Ensure that management controls are properly maintained and pose no threat to public safety; and • Implement stormwater management controls to help meet current and future total maximum daily load (TMDL) goals, address the need to improve water quality, and meet objectives in the Local Surface Water Management Plan. 2 DEFINITIONS The following definitions describe the meaning of the terms used in this Design Manual: Applicant means a property owner or agent of a property owner who has filed an application for a Stormwater Management Permit. Applicability means any land disturbing activity requiring a City of Stillwater Stormwater Management Plan as defined in City Zone Ordinance, Section 31-525 Stormwater Management Practices. Channel means a natural or artificial watercourse with a definite bed and banks that conducts continuously or periodically flowing water. Impervious Area means those surfaces that cannot effectively infiltrate rainfall (e.g., building rooftops, pavement, sidewalks, gravel, driveways, swimming pools, etc.). Land Disturbance Activity means any activity that changes the volume or peak discharge rate of storm water runoff from the land surface. This may include the grading, digging, cutting, scraping, or excavating of soil, placement of fill materials, paving, construction, substantial removal of vegetation, or any activity that bares soil or rock or involves the diversion or piping of any natural or fabricated watercourse. Maintenance Agreement means document recorded against the property which provides for long- term maintenance of stormwater treatment practices.

Engineering Design Guidelines City of Stillwater, MN WSB Project No. 2092-560 Page 3 The general review process, from the submittal of the concept and final plans to the issuance of the Stormwater Management Plan approval, is summarized in the following seven steps: 1. Determine what stormwater management provisions apply (stormwater management, erosion control, wetland management, floodplain management). 2. Determine what permits or approvals are required for the project site and what waivers and/or exemptions are applicable (COE, DNR, MPCA, Watershed, WCA, etc.). 3. Determine if the project falls with the Browns Creek Watershed District (BCWD), Carnelian- Marine-St. Croix Watershed District (CMSCWD), and/or the Middle St. Croix Watershed Management Organization (MSCWMO). 4. Select the appropriate practices appropriate for the site. 5. Determine if the practices designed to meet the minimum performance criteria. 6. Determine if the Plan meets other resource protection requirements as specified in the City of Stillwater Code. 7.

This plan must indicate whether stormwater will be managed on-site or off-site and, if on-site, the general location and type of practices. The Stormwater Management Plan must be signed by a licensed professional engineer in the State of Minnesota, who will verify that the design of all stormwater management practices meet the submittal requirements outlined in the Submittal Checklist found in Appendix A. No building permit, grading permit, or subdivision approval shall be issued until a satisfactory final Stormwater Management Plan or a waiver thereof has undergone a review and been approved by the City after determining that the plan or waiver is consistent with the requirements of this manual. Projects within CMSCWD or BCWD must obtain watershed district permits as required. Projects within the jurisdiction of the MSCWMO must meet the requirements of the MSCWMO Watershed Management Plan. Projects within the MSCWMO meeting the full review requirements of the MSCWMO Plan will not be approved by the City until reviewed by the MSCWMO board. Stormwater Management Conceptual Plan Requirements (Optional) A stormwater management concept plan submittal is optional, but highly encouraged. A concept plan identifies basic site information, locations of proposed development features, and preliminary locations and sizing of STPs. The concept submittal has a greater chance of identifying major obstacles and can facilitate alternative stormwater management arrangements in a timely fashion and at the onset of project planning. If a concept plan is submitted for review, it should include sufficient information (e.g., maps, basic hydrologic, and water quality calculations) to evaluate the environmental characteristics of the project site. This information should show the potential impacts of all proposed development of the site, both present and future, on the water resources, and show the effectiveness and acceptability of the measures proposed for managing stormwater generated at the project site. The intent of this conceptual planning process is to determine the type of stormwater management of stormwater runoff form future development, and to identify major issues prior to completing final plans. The concept plan is less time consuming and more efficient to evaluate proposed development plans with this step of the review process. The final plan provides more detailed design information for the proposed STPs and includes much more detail in terms of hydrologic conditions and site features. Engineering Design Guidelines City of Stillwater, MN WSB Project No. 2092-560 Page 7 For redevelopment, an applicant should include within a concept plan measures for controlling existing stormwater runoff discharges and water quality from the site in accordance with the standards of this Manual. After the review of the concept plan and modifications are made to that plan as deemed necessary by the City, a final Stormwater Management Plan may be submitted for approval. Stormwater Management Plan Requirements (Required) Record drawings are required for all projects that impact wetlands and/or the floodplain, require water quality ponding, have significant grade changes, and/or have other unusual circumstances. Record drawings must be certified by a professional land surveyor or civil engineer. (Record drawings should not include temporary erosion control measures.) 1.

Filtration is warranted when site conditions do not allow for an effective infiltration facility. For flooding or rate control, detention systems are typically the preferred practice. Low Impact Design (LID) practices are encouraged when they can be functionally incorporated into the design. Alternative practices may be approved at the discretion of the City Engineer. For when infiltration is not feasible the STPs proposed shall meet the performance identified in the MIDS Flexible Treatment Options (FTO). Volume Control Systems: • Infiltration trench • Infiltration basin • Raingarden • Underground storage • Reuse • Green Roofs • Trees/Tree Planters Filtration Systems: • Surface sand filter • Underground sand filter • Perimeter sand filter • Organic filter • Bioretention system • Raingarden with underdrain • Pervious pavement with underdrain • Underground storage with underdrain • Tree trench Detention Systems: • Wet pond • Stormwater re-use systems • Multiple pond systems • Extended detention basin • Micro-pool extended detention basin • Dry detention ponds • Underground storage • Other, as approved by the City of Stillwater Wetlands: • Shallow wetland • Pond/wetland systems Open Channel Systems: • Dry swale • Wet swale • Grass swale • Natural channel or stream Engineering Design Guidelines City of Stillwater, MN WSB Project No. 2092-560 Page 10 6 CONSTRUCTION SITE STORMWATER RUNOFF CONTROL 6.1 Erosion Control 1. The City will enforce the Restrictive Soils requirements of the City’s Zoning Ordinance for new development on soils with potential for erosion and sedimentation. 2. The Permittee must plan for and implement appropriate construction phasing vegetative buffer strips, horizontal slope grading, and other construction practices to minimize erosion. All areas not to be disturbed shall be marked (e.g. with flags, stakes, signs, silt fence etc.) on the project site before any work begins. 3. All exposed soil areas must be stabilized as soon as possible to limit soil erosion but in no case later than 14 days after the construction activity in that portion of the site has temporarily or permanently ceased and no later than seven days after construction activity in that portion of the site has temporarily or permanently ceased when discharge points on the project is within one mile of a special or impaired water and flows to that special or impaired water. 4. Additional BMPs together with enhanced runoff controls are required for discharges to special waters and impaired waters. The BMPs identified for each special or impaired water are required for those areas of the project draining to a discharge point on the project that is within one mile of a special or im paired water and flows to that water. The additional BMPs are identified in Appendix A of the NPDES Construction General Permit. 5. The permittee must stabilize the normal wetted perimeter of any temporary or permanent drainage ditch or swale that drains water from any portion of the construction site, or diverts water around the site, within 200 lineal feet from the property edge or from the point of discharge into any surface water. Stabilization of the last 200 lineal feet must be completed within 24 hours after connecting to a surface water or property edge. 6. Pipe outlet must have temporary or permanent energy dissipation before connecting to surface water. 7. When possible, all slopes must be graded in such a fashion so that tracking marks made from heavy equipment are perpendicular to the slope. 8. All areas disturbed during construction must be restored as detailed in these requirements. The type of permanent restoration shall be clearly shown on the plans including but not limited to sod, seed, impervious cover and structures. A minimum of six inches of topsoil must be installed prior to permanent restoration. Areas in which the top soil has been placed and finish graded or areas that have been disturbed and other grading or site building construction operations are not actively underway must be temporary or permanently restored as set forth in the following requirements. a. Areas with slopes that area less than 3:1 must be seeded and mulched within 14 days of the area not being actively worked. b. Areas with slopes that area greater or equal to 3:1 must be seeded and erosion control blanket placed within 14 days of the area not being actively worked. c. All seeded area must be either mulched and disc anchored, hydro- mulched, or covered by erosion control blanket to reduced erosion and protects the seed. Temporary or permanent mulch must be disc anchored and applied at a uniform rate of two tons per acre and have 90% coverage. d. If the disturbed area will be re-disturbed within a six month period, temporary vegetative cover shall be required consisting of an approved seed mixture and application rate. Engineering Design Guidelines City of Stillwater, MN WSB Project No. 2092-560 Page 11 e. If the disturbed area will not be re-disturbed within a six month period, permanent vegetative cover shall be required consisting of an approved seed mixture and application rate. f. All areas that will not have maintenance done such as mowing as part of the final design shall be permanently restored using an approved seed mixture and application rate. g. Restoration of disturbed wetland areas shall be accomplished using an approved seed mixture and application rate. 9. All erosion control measures must be maintained for the duration of the project until final stabilization has been achieved. If construction operations or natural events damage or interfere with any erosion control measures, they shall be restored to serve their intended function. 10. Additional erosion control measures shall be added as necessary to effectively protect the natural resources of the City. The temporary and permanent erosion control plans shall be revised as needed based on current site conditions and to comply with all applicable requirements 6.2 Sediment Control Practices 1. Sediment control practices must be established on all down gradient perimeters before any upgradient land disturbing activities begin. These practices must remain in place until final stabilization has been achieved. 2. If down gradient treatment system is overloaded additional up gradient sediment control practices must be installed to eliminate overloading. The SWPPP must be amended to identify the additional practices. 3. All storm drain inlets must be protected by approved BMPs during construction until all potential sources for discharge have been stabilized. These devices must be maintained until final stabilization is achieved. Inlet protection may be removed if a specific safety concern (street flooding/freezing) has been identified. 4. Temporary stockpiles must have silt fence or other effective sediment controls on the down gradient side of the stockpile and shall not be placed at least 25 feet from any road, wetland, protected water, drainage channel, or stormwater inlets. Stockpile left for more than 14 days must be stabilized with mulch, vegetation, tarps or other approved means. 5. Vehicle tracking of sediment from project shall be minimized by approved BMPs. These shall be installed and maintained at the City approved entrances. Individual lots shall each be required to install and maintained entrances throughout the construction building until a paved driveway is install. 6. Sediment that has washed or tracked from site by motor vehicles or equipment shall be cleaned from paved surfaces throughout the duration of construction. 7. Silt fence or other approved sediment control devices must be installed in all areas as shown on the SWPPP. 8. Silt fence or other approved sediment control devices shall be required along the entire curb line, except for approved opening where construction entrance will be installed or drainage flows away from curb. This device must be maintained until final stabilization is achieved. Ditch checks shall be required in ditch bottoms. Spacing for the check must be as followed: [Height in feet (of the sediment device used)] X 100 / Slope Gradient 9. Dust control measures such as application of water must be performed periodically due to weather, construction activity, and/or as directed by the City. 10. Flows from diversion channels or pipes (temporary or permanent) must be routed to sedimentation basins or appropriate energy dissipaters to prevent the transport of sediment to outflow or lateral conveyors and to prevent erosion and sediment buildup when runoff flows into the conveyors. Engineering Design Guidelines City of Stillwater, MN WSB Project No. 2092-560 Page 12 11. A concrete washout shall be installed on projects that require the use of concrete. All liquid and solid waste generated by concrete washout operations must be contained in a leak-proof containment facility or impermeable liner. A sign must be installed adjacent to each washout facility to inform operators to utilize the proper facilities. 12. All sediment control measures shall be used and maintained for the duration of the project until final. If construction operations or natural events damage or interfere with any erosion control measures, they must be restored to serve their intended function. 13. Additional sediment control measures shall be added as necessary to effectively protect the natural resources of the City. The temporary and permanent erosion control plans shall be revised as needed based on current site conditions and to comply with all applicable requirements. 14. Restrict clearing and grading within 20 feet of an existing wetland boundary to provide for a protective buffer strip of natural vegetation. 6.3 Temporary Sediment Basins A temporary sediment basin (or permanent) shall be provided when ten or more acres of disturbed soil drain to a common location prior to the runoff leaving the site or entering surface waters. The Permittee is also encouraged, but not required, to install temporary sediment basins in areas with steep slope or highly erodible soils even if the area is less than ten acres and it drains to one common area. The basins shall be designed and constructed according to the following requirements: 1. The basins must provide storage below the outlet pipe for a calculated volume of runoff from a 2-year, 24-hour storm from each acre drained to the basin, except that in no case shall the basin provide less than 1,800 cubic feet of storage below the outlet pipe from each acre drained to the basin. 2. Where no such calculation has been performed, a temporary (or permanent) sediment basin providing 3,600 cubic feet of storage below the outlet pipe per acre drained to the basin shall be provided where attainable until final stabilization of the site. 3. Temporary basin outlets will be designed to prevent short-circuiting and the discharge of floating debris. The basin must be designed with the ability to allow complete basin drawdown (e.g., perforated riser pipe wrapped with filter fabric and covered with crushed gravel, pumps or other means) for maintenance activities and provide a stabilized emergency overflow to prevent failure of pond integrity. Energy dissipation must be provided for the basin outlet. 4. Temporary (or permanent) basins must be constructed and made operational concurrent with the start of soil disturbance that is up gradient of the area and contributes runoff to the pond. 5. Where the temporary sediment basin is not attainable due to site limitations, equivalent sediment controls such as smaller sediment basins and/or sediment traps, silt fences, vegetative buffer strips, or any appropriate combination of measures are required for all down slope boundaries of the construction area and for those side slope boundaries deemed appropriate as dictated by individual site conditions. In determining whether installing a sediment basin is attainable, the Permittee must consider public safety and may consider factors such as site soils, slope, and available area on site. This determination must be documented in the SWPPP. 6. The Permittee shall maintain the sedimentation basins and will remain functional until an acceptable vegetative cover is restored to the site, resulting in a pre-development level rate of erosion. The City will not issue building permits for lots containing sediment basins until they have been removed or relocated based on the projects restoration progress. 7. Basins designed to be used for permanent stormwater management shall be brought back to their original design contours prior to acceptance by the City. 6.4 Dewatering and Basin Draining Engineering Design Guidelines City of Stillwater, MN WSB Project No. 2092-560 Page 13 1. If water cannot be discharged into a sedimentation basin before entering a surface water it must be treated with the appropriate BMPs, so that the discharge does not adversely affect the receiving water or downstream landowners. The Permittee must make sure discharge points are appropriately protected from erosion and scour. The discharge must be dispersed over riprap, sand bags, plastic sheeting or other acceptable energy dissipation measures. Adequate sediment control measures are required for discharging water that contains suspended soils. 2. All water from dewatering or basin draining must discharge in a manner that does not cause nuisance conditions, erosion in receiving channels, on down slope properties, or inundation in wetlands causing significant adverse impact to wetlands. 6.5 Inspections and Maintenance 1. The Permittee shall be responsible for inspecting and maintenance of the BMPs 2. The Permittee must routinely inspect the construction project once every seven days during active construction and within 24-hours of a rainfall event of 0.5 inches or greater in 24-hours. 3. All inspections and maintenance conducted during construction must be recorded in writing and must be retained with the SWPPP. Records of each inspection and maintenance activity shall include: a. Date and time of inspection. b. Name of person(s) conducting the inspections. c. Findings of inspections, including recommendations for corrective actions. d. Corrective actions taken (including dates, times, and the party completing the maintenance activities). e. Date and amount of all rainfall events 0.5 inches or greater in 24-hours. f. Documentation of changes made to SWPPP. 4. Parts of the construction site that have achieved final stabilization, but work continues other parts of the site, inspections of the stabilized areas can be reduced to once a month. If work has been suspended due to frozen ground conditions, the required inspections and maintenance must take place as soon as runoff occurs or prior to resuming construction, which ever happens first. 5. All erosion and sediment BMPs shall be inspected to ensure integrity and effectiveness. All nonfunctional BMPs shall be repaired, replaced, or supplemented with a functional BMP. The Permittee shall investigate and comply with the following inspection and maintenance requirements. 6. All silt fences must be repaired, replaced, or supplemented when they become nonfunctional or the sediment reaches half of the height of the fence. These repairs shall be made within 24 hours of discovery, or as soon as field conditions allow access. 7. Temporary and permanent sedimentation basins must be drained and the sediment removed when the depth of sediment collected in the basin reaches half the storage volume. Drainage and removal must be completed within 72 hours of discovery, or as soon as field conditions allow access. 8. Surface waters, including drainage ditches and conveyance systems, must be inspected for evidence of sediment being deposited by erosion. The Permittee shall remove all deltas and sediment deposited in surface waters, including drainage ways, catch basins, and other drainage systems, and restabilize the areas where sediment removal results in exposed soil. The removal and stabilization shall take place within seven days of discovery unless precluded by legal, regulatory, or physical access constraints. The Permittee shall use all reasonable efforts to obtain access. If precluded, removal and stabilization shall take place within seven calendar days of obtaining access. The Permittee is responsible for contacting all local, regional, state, and federal authorities and receiving any applicable permits, prior to conducting any work. 9. Construction site vehicle exit locations shall be inspected for evidence of off-site sediment tracking onto paved surfaces. Tracked sediment shall be removed from all off- site paved surfaces, within 24 hours of discovery or, if applicable, within a shorter time. Engineering Design Guidelines City of Stillwater, MN WSB Project No. 2092-560 Page 14 10. The Permittee is responsible for the operation and maintenance of temporary and permanent water quality management BMPs, as well as all erosion prevention and sediment control BMPs, for the duration of the construction work at the site. The Permittee is responsible until another Permittee has assumed control over all areas of the site that have not been finally stabilized or the site has undergone final stabilization, and a Notice of Termination has been submitted to the MPCA. 11. If sediment escapes the construction site, off-site accumulations of sediment shall be removed in a manner and at a frequency sufficient to minimize off-site impacts (e.g., fugitive sediment in streets could be washed into storm sewers by the next rain and/or pose a safety hazard to users of public streets). 12. All infiltration areas shall be inspected to ensure that no sediment from ongoing construction activities is reaching the infiltration area and these areas are protected from compaction due to construction equipment driving across the infiltration area. 6.6 Pollution Management Measures/Construction Site Waste Control 1. The Permittee must implement the following pollution prevention management measures on the site. a. Solid Waste – Collected sediment, asphalt and concrete millings, floating debris, paper, plastic, fabric, construction and demolition debris, and other wastes must be disposed of properly and must comply with MPCA disposal requirements. b. Hazardous Materials such as oil, gasoline, paint, and any hazardous substances must be properly stored, including secondary containment, to prevent spills, leaks, or other discharge. Restricted access to storage areas shall be provided to prevent vandalism. Storage and disposal of hazardous waste shall follow MPCA regulations. c. External washing of trucks and other construction vehicles must be limited to a defined area of the site. Runoff shall be contained and waste properly disposed of. No engine degreasing is allowed on site. d. The City of Stillwater prohibits discharges of any material other than stormwater and discharges from dewatering or basin draining activities. Prohibited discharges include but are not limited to vehicle and equipment washing, maintenance spills, wash water, and discharges of oil and other hazardous substances. e. The Permittee must comply with all other pollution prevention/good housekeeping requirements of the MPCA NPDES Construction General Permit. 6.7 Final Stabilization 1. The Permittee must ensure final stabilization of the project. Final stabilization can be achieved in one of the following ways. 2. All soil disturbing activities at the site have been completed and all soils will be stabilized by a uniform perennial vegetative cover with a density of at least 70% over the entire pervious surface area, or other equivalent means necessary to prevent soil failure under erosive conditions and; a. All drainage ditches, constructed to drain water from the site after construction is complete, must be stabilized to preclude erosion; and b. All temporary synthetic and structural erosion prevention and sediment control BMPs (such as silt fence) must be removed as part of the site final stabilization; and c. The Permittee must clean out all sediment from conveyances and from temporary sedimentation basins that are to be used as permanent water quality management basins. Sediment must be stabilized to prevent it from washing back into the basin, conveyances or drainage ways discharging off-site or to surface waters. The cleanout of permanent basins must be sufficient to return the basin to design capacity. 3. For residential construction only, final stabilization has been achieved when: a. Temporary erosion protection and down gradient perimeter control for individual lots has been completed and the residence has been transferred to the homeowner. b. The Permittee must distribute the MPCA “homeowner factsheet” to the homeowner so the homeowner is informed for the need, and benefits, of final stabilization. Engineering Design Guidelines City of Stillwater, MN WSB Project No. 2092-560 Page 15 6.8 Training 1. The SWPPP must provide a chain of command showing who prepared the SWPPP, who is responsible for the management of the construction site and inspections. 2. The training shall consist of a course developed by a local, state or federal agency, professional organization, water management organization, or soil and water conservation district and must contain information that is related to erosion prevention, sediment control, or permanent stormwater management and must relate to the work that you are responsible for managing. Engineering Design Guidelines City of Stillwater, MN WSB Project No. 2092-560 Page 16 7 GUIDANCE ON STORMWATER TREATMENT PRACTICES (STPS) Designers are expected to follow the Minimal Impact Design Standards (MIDS) flowchart detailed in the Minnesota Stormwater Manual (Appendix C). Deviations from recommended guidance in the Minnesota Stormwater Manual will require detailed written explanation. Approval of any deviation from the Minnesota Stormwater Manual guidance will be at the discretion of the City. 8 BASIC SIZING CRITERIA Proposed Stormwater Management Plans must incorporate volume control, water quality control, and rate control as the basis for stormwater management in the proposed development plan. The City of Stillwater, as a permitted MS4, requires for new development projects to have a no net increase from pre-project conditions of total volume, TSS, and TP; in addition, for redevelopment projects within the City, it is required to have a net reduction from pre-project conditions of total volume, TSS, and TP. 8.1 Volume Control Requirements Volume control measures are required on projects to meet the water quality criteria of the BCWD, CMSCWD, and MSCWMO Stormwater Management Plan and to meet the requirements of the City of Stillwater’s MS4 Permit obligations. Volume control shall be required for proposed new impervious areas greater than one-half acre or redevelopment of impervious greater than one-half acre. If an applicant can demonstrate that the volume control standard has been met, then the water quality sizing criteria shall be considered satisfied. For projects in the BCWD: 1. The applicant must demonstrate that the proposed land altering activity will not increase stormwater flow volume from the site, as compared with the pre-settlement conditions, for a 24-hour precipitation event with a return frequency of two years, or five years within a landlocked basin or subwatershed draining to a landlocked basin. 2. If the proposed activity will disturb more than 50% of existing impervious surface, the criteria of subsection 2.4 of the Stormwater Management Rule will apply to all impervious surface on the project site. Otherwise, the criteria will apply only to net additional impervious surface. Notwithstanding, for road and other linear projects, only net additional surface will be considered. For projects in the CMSCWD: The applicant must demonstrate that the proposed land-altering activity: 1. Will not increase stormwater flow volume from the site, as compared with the stormwater flow volume calculated in accordance with sub-section 2.5.3 of CMSCWD’s Rule 2.0 Stormwater Management, for a 24-hour precipitation event with a return frequency of two years, or ten years within a landlocked basin or a subwatershed draining to a landlocked basin. 2. Will provide water quality Best Management Practices (BMPs) sized to infiltrate and/or retain the runoff volume generated on the site by the 2-year, 24-hour event under the developed condition for all points where discharges leave a site. For that portion of the 2- year, 24-hour event runoff volume that is not required to be infiltrated as described above, water quality BMPs or additional infiltration will be incorporated. The order of preference for water quality BMPs is biofiltration, filtration, wetland treatment system, extended detention, and wet detention in accordance with NURP standards. Engineering Design Guidelines City of Stillwater, MN WSB Project No. 2092-560 Page 17 3. Will not increase the bounce in water level or duration of inundation, for a 24-hour precipitation event with a return frequency of 2-, 10-, and 100-years in the subwatershed in which the site is located, for any downstream lake or wetland beyond the limit specified in Appendix 2.2 of the District’s Rules. An applicant for a residential project, including subdivision of less than four lots, that creates one acre or less of impervious surface may demonstrate alternative compliance with the management standards via completion of the District's Small Residential Project Stormwater Worksheet, available from the District office or on the District's website. For projects in the MSCWMO: 1. New, Nonlinear Developments: For new, nonlinear developments that create new impervious surfaces on sites without restrictions, stormwater runoff volumes will be controlled and the post-construction runoff volume shall be retained on site for 1.1 inches of runoff from impervious surfaces. 2. Reconstruction/Redevelopment Projects: Nonlinear redevelopment projects on site without restrictions that create or fully reconstruct impervious surfaces shall capture and retain on site 1.1 inches of runoff from the new and/or fully reconstructed impervious surfaces. 3. Linear Projects: Linear projects (roadways, sidewalks, and trails) that create or fully reconstruct impervious surface without restrictions and not part of another development shall capture and retain the larger of the following: (a) 0.55 inches of runoff from the new and/or fully reconstructed impervious surfaces (b) 1.1 inches of runoff from the net increase in impervious area 8.2 Volume Control Calculations Depending on applicability, a proposed development shall capture and retain on site 1.1 inches of runoff from the total impervious surface in post-construction conditions. For redevelopment projects, the performance goal is to capture and retain on site 1.1 inches of runoff from the new and/or fully redeveloped impervious surfaces over one acre. For projects less than one acre, the City encourages applicants to incorporate volume control or the water quality provisions to the extent feasible. For linear projects, the performance goal is to capture and retain onsite the larger of the following: • 0.55 inches of runoff from the new and fully reconstructed impervious surfaces • 1.1 inches of runoff from the net increase in impervious surfaces For projects where it is not feasible to meet the volume reductions requirements it will be required to meeting the water quality requirements of these engineering guidelines. Infiltration is infeasible when: • Where industrial facilities are not authorized to infiltrate industrial stormwater under and NPDES/SDS Industrial Stormwater Permit issued by the MPCA. • Where vehicle fueling and maintenance occur. • With less than three feet of separation distance from the bottom of the infiltration system to the elevation of the seasonally saturated soils or the top of the bedrock. • Where high levels of contaminant in soil or groundwater will be mobilized by the infiltrating stormwater. The use of infiltration techniques shall be restricted and subject to additional City review where the infiltration BMP will be constructed in any of the following areas: Engineering Design Guidelines City of Stillwater, MN WSB Project No. 2092-560 Page 18 • Soils are predominately Hydrologic Soil Group D (clay) soils. • Within 1,000 feet up-gradient, or 100 feet down-gradient of active karst features. • Drinking Water Supply Management Areas are present, as defined by Minn. R. 4720.51000, subp.13, unless precluded by a local unit of government with an MS4 permit. • Soil infiltration rates are more than 8.3 inches per hour unless soils are amended to slow the infiltration rate below 8.3 inches per hour. 8.3 Water Quality Control For new development, the water quality control standard shall be considered satisfied if the volume control standard has been satisfied. 8.3.1 For projects in the CMSCWD: 1. Flows to infiltration facilities must be pretreated for long-term removal of at least 50% of sediment loads. In the event an infiltration facility is constructed in the vicinity downstream of a potential Hot Spot, a skimmer shall be installed to facilitate clean-up. 8.3.2 For projects in the MSCWMO: 1. Surface flows to volume control facilities must be pretreated for long-term removal of at least 50% of sediment loads. In the event an infiltration facility is constructed in the vicinity downstream of a potential Hot Spot, a skimmer shall be installed to facilitate clean-up. 2. Direct discharge of stormwater to water bodies without water quality treatment is prohibited. If it is infeasible to meet the volume control standard due to contaminated soils, site constraints, etc., the proposed STP will need to maintain the TSS and TP loading and for redevelopment the goal is to reduce the TSS and TP loadings satisfy the water quality standards using the MIDS flexible treatment options as outlined below in addition to the MIDS Design Sequence Flowchart (Appendix C). MIDS Flexible Treatment Options Option 1: • Applicant attempts to comply with the following conditions: o Achieve at least an 0.55-inch volume reduction goal; and o Remove 75% of the annual total phosphorus load; and o Options considered and presented shall examine the merits of relocating project elements to address varying soil conditions and other constraints across the site. Option 2: • Applicant attempts to comply with the following conditions: o Achieve volume reduction to the maximum extent practicable (as determined by the Local Authority); and o Remove 60% of the annual total phosphorus load; and o Options considered and presented shall examine the merits of relocating project elements to address varying soil conditions and other constraints across the site. Option 3: Engineering Design Guidelines City of Stillwater, MN WSB Project No. 2092-560 Page 19 • Off-site mitigation (including banking or cash or treatment on another project, as determined by the local authority) equivalent to the volume reduction performance goal can be used in areas selected in the following order of preference: o Locations that yield benefits to the same receiving water that receives runoff from the original construction activity. o Locations within the same Department of Natural Resources (DNR) catchment area as the original construction activity. o Locations in the next adjacent DNR catchment area up-stream. o Locations anywhere within the local authority's jurisdiction. 8.4 Rate Control 1. At a minimum, detention basins should maintain existing flow rates for the 2-, 10-, and 100-year 24-hour rainfalls in accordance to the Atlas14 data as shown in the table below: Event Rainfall/Snowmelt Depth (inches) 2-year, 24-hour 2.81 10-year, 24-hour 4.17 100-year, 24-hour 7.18 100-year, 10-day snowmelt 9.82 2. Detention basins shall be designed with capacity for the critical 100-year event, which is defined as either the 100-year, 24-hour rainfall event or the 10-day snowmelt runoff event, whichever produces the highest water level. 3. The maximum duration for rainfall critical event analysis shall be 24-hours except in cases where basins are landlocked, where back to back 24-hour events and the 10-day snowmelt runoff event shall also be used. In all cases a hydrograph method of analysis should be used. For the 24-hour rainfall events, or back to back 24-hour rainfall events, an MSE 3 distribution should be used. For shorter duration critical events other distributions may be used with the approval of the City Engineer. 4. All drainage system analyses and designs shall be based on proposed full development land use patterns. 5. Development adjacent to a landlocked basin and the basin is not provided an outlet, freeboard should be determined based on one of three methods (whichever provides for the highest freeboard elevation): a. Two feet above the HWL determined by modeling back to back 100-year, 24- hour events; or b. Three feet above the highest known water level; or c. Five feet above the HWL determined by modeling a single 100-year, 24-hour event. 6. When modeling landlocked basins, the starting water surface elevation should be the basins Ordinary High Water elevation, which can be determined through hydrologic modeling or, in the case of a DNR regulated basin, from a DNR survey. 7. Adjacent to channels, creeks, and ravines two feet of freeboard with respect to the 100- year critical event elevation will also be required. 8. An MSE 3 24-hour rainfall distribution with average antecedent moisture conditions should be utilized for runoff calculations. 9. The recommended minimum outlet diameter is six inches due to plugging susceptibility and may supersede the rate control requirement for the 2-year event. 10. The City requires skimmers or other devices in the construction of new pond outlets and the addition of skimmers to existing systems whenever feasible and practical. The designs shall provide for skimmers that extend a minimum of four inches below the water surface and minimize the velocities of water passing under the skimmer to less than 0.5 feet per second for rainfall events having a 99% frequency. 11. City standard detail plates should be utilized for pond outlet structures. Engineering Design Guidelines City of Stillwater, MN WSB Project No. 2092-560 Page 20 12. Outlet structures should be designed in three phases with primary outlet structure and secondary overflow structure routed to the storm sewer and a defined emergency overflow as the tertiary outlet structure. 8.4.1 For projects in the BCWD 1. The applicant must demonstrate that the proposed land-altering activity will not increase peak stormwater flow from the site, as compared with the pre- settlement condition, for a 24-hour precipitation event with a return frequency of 2, 10, or 100-years for all points where discharges leave a site. 2. If the proposed activity will disturb more than 50% of existing impervious surface, the criteria of subsection 2.4 of the Stormwater Management Rule will apply to all impervious surface on the project site. Otherwise, the criteria will apply only to net additional impervious surface. Notwithstanding, for road and other linear projects, only net additional surface will be considered. 8.4.2 For projects in the CMSCWD The applicant must demonstrate that the proposed land-altering activity will not increase peak stormwater flow rate from the site, as compared with the peak stormwater flow rate calculated in accordance with sub-section 2.5.3 of the Stormwater Management Rule, for a 24-hour precipitation event with a return frequency of 2, 10, and 100 years for all points where discharges leave a site. 8.4.3 For projects in the MSCWMO 1. The peak rate of stormwater runoff from a newly developed or redeveloped shall not exceed the 2-, 10-, and 100-year 24-hour storms with respective 2.8, 4.2, and 7.3-inch rainfall depths with MSCWMO approved time distribution based on Atlas 14 for existing and proposed conditions. The runoff curve number for existing agriculture areas shall be less than or equal to the developed condition curve number. The newly developed or redeveloped peak rate shall not exceed the existing peak rate of runoff for all critical duration events, up to and including the 100-year return frequency storm event for all points where discharges leave a site during all phases of development. 2. In sub-areas of a landlocked watershed, development shall not increase the predevelopment volume or rate of discharge from the sub-area for the 10-year return period. 3. Applicants may be required to demonstrate that downgradient stormwater conveyance structures and features will be adequate to safely convey proposed increased peak flow or volume from the site. 8.5 Freeboard Elevation separations of buildings with respect to ponds, lakes, streams, and stormwater features shall be designed as follows: 1. The basement floor elevation of any new building shall be placed at least two feet above the elevation of any known historic high groundwater elevations for the area and at least two feet above the 100-year high surface water elevation in the area. 2. The low building opening elevation of any new building shall be at least three feet above the projected 100-year high water elevation for the area. If this standard is considered a hardship, the standard may be lowered to placing the low building opening elevation at least two feet above the projected 100-year high water elevation if the following can be demonstrated: Engineering Design Guidelines City of Stillwater, MN WSB Project No. 2092-560 Page 21 a. That within the two-foot freeboard area above the 100-year high water elevation, stormwater storage is at least 50% of the stormwater storage capacity below the 100- year high water elevation; and b. That a 25% obstruction of the basin outlet for a 100-year critical-duration rainfall event would not result in a high water elevation greater than one foot above the 100- year high water elevation; and c. An adequate overflow route from the basin will assure that water levels, even for extreme rainfall events, will be greater than one foot below the low building opening elevation. 3. An emergency spillway from ponding areas shall be installed a minimum of one foot below the lowest floor elevation and shall be designed to have a capacity to overflow water at an elevation below the lowest building opening at a rate not less than three times the 100-year peak discharge rate from the basin or the 100-year inflow rate to the basin, whichever is higher. 8.6 Floodplain Management The City prohibits filling activities within the 100-year floodplain the will cause an increase in the stage of the 100-year or regional flood or cause in increase in the flood damages in the reach affected unless compensatory storage is provided and/or channel improvement is provide that will not result in the flood stage. Filling within the floodway is prohibited unless the filling meets FEMA, DNR, and Watershed Commission and District requirements as well as City Zoning Code. Applications proposing to alter the floodplain shall submit the cut/fill diagrams along with calculations demonstrating that the filling or alteration of the floodplain is not resulting in a reduction in the flood stage/storage. For projects in the BCWD Floodplain filling must be accompanied by a replacement of flood volume between the ordinary water level and the 100-year flood elevation. The floodplain mitigation area must be calculated by a professional engineer registered in the State of Minnesota or by a qualified hydrologist. A Floodplain and Drainage Alteration permit application must be submitted to prove that the alteration will not have an unreasonable impact on an upstream or downstream landowner and will not adversely affect flood risk, basin, or channel stability, groundwater hydrology, stream base flow, water quality, or aquatic of riparian habitat. For projects in the CMSCWD Floodplain filling must be accompanied by a replacement of floodplain storage volume between the ordinary water level and the 100-year flood elevation except for bioengineering and riprap projects permitted under Rule 5.0. The floodplain mitigation area shall be calculated by a professional engineer registered in the State of Minnesota or by a qualified hydrologist. The District will issue a permit alter surface flows only on a finding that the alteration will not have an unreasonable impact on an upstream or downstream landowner and will not adversely affect flood risk, basin or channel stability, groundwater hydrology, stream baseflow, water quality, or aquatic or riparian habitat. For projects in the MSCWMO The MSCWMO has adopted the Washington County Floodplain Regulations. Upon receipt of an application for a permit or subdivision approval within the floodplain district, the Zoning Administrator shall require the applicant to furnish sufficient site development plans and a hydrologic/hydraulic analysis by a qualified engineer or hydrologist. These plans shall include: Engineering Design Guidelines City of Stillwater, MN WSB Project No. 2092-560 Page 22 1. The specifics on the nature of the development 2. Whether the proposed use in the floodway or outside the floodway 3. The Regulatory Flood Protection Elevation for the site. 8.7 Buffers Buffers are required adjacent to wetlands for projects requiring a stormwater management permit as defined in City Zoning Code (Chapter 31). The following standards shall guide the creation or restoration of buffers to achieve the goals and policies of the City of Stillwater, BCWD, CMSCWD, and MSCWMO. The Administrator may modify or waive standards depending on each project Site and goals for the wetland. The buffer zones are as follows: BCWD Management Class Buffer Width Stream\Tributaries: Streamside Zone 25 feet Stream\Tributaries: Middle Zone 50 feet from upland edge of streamside zone Stream: Outer zone Upland edge of middle zone to structure setback line under applicable shoreland ordinance Wetland: Preserve 100 feet Wetland: Manage 1 75 feet Wetland: Manage 2 50 feet Wetland: Manage 3 25 feet Lake 75 feet CMSCWD Management Class Buffer Width St. Croix River: Streamside Zone 25 feet from the Bluff Line or OHWL, whichever governs the Structure Setback set by the Lower Saint Croix National Scenic Riverway (LSCNSR) Management Rules St. Croix River: Middle Zone 50 feet from upland edge of streamside zone St. Croix River: Outer Zone Upland edge of middle zone to structure setback set by the LSCNSR Management Rules Stream, Creeks and Tributaries: Streamside Zone 25 feet Stream, Creeks and Tributaries: Middle Zone 50 feet from upland edge of streamside zone Stream, Creeks and Tributaries: Outer zone Upland edge of middle zone to structure setback line under applicable shoreland ordinance Wetland: Manage 1 100 feet Wetland: Manage 2 75 feet Wetland: Manage 3 50 feet Wetland: Manage 4 50 feet Lake: Natural Environment 75 feet Lake: Recreational Development 50 feet Engineering Design Guidelines City of Stillwater, MN WSB Project No. 2092-560 Page 23 MSCWMO A Preserve B Maintain C Manage ≥ 60 feet Require monument to mark edges. ≥ 30 feet No buffer. In addition, the City has established the following criteria for wetland buffers: 1. Wetland protective natural buffer zone means the area between a line delineating the wetland edge and a line parallel to and upland one-half the distance of the required setback (from Natural Environmental Lakes – 75 feet; Recreational – 37.5 feet; General Development Lakes, unclassified water bodies or wetlands – 25 feet). For Brown's Creek or tributaries of Brown's Creek, the buffer zone is 100 feet from the middle of the creek. If a wetland is associated with the tributary, the required buffer area is 100 feet from the centerline of the tributary or creek or 25 feet beyond the edge of the wetland, whichever is greater. 2. The buffer zone must be maintained in its existing condition, however invasive species as identified by the City must be removed under direction from the City. 3. Any buffer zone that is disturbed must be reestablished with natural planting approved by the City. 4. A silt fence must be installed and maintained protecting the buffer zone before construction begins and not removed until all land-disturbing activities are complete and disturbed areas reestablished. 5. All subdivision applications must have wetland delineated and buffer zones marked and required wetland building setbacks mapped. 6. All plats must show the wetland edge as approved by the City and the wetland protective natural buffer zone. 7. The owner or occupant of any property abutting any wetlands may not conduct or permit any of the following activities within the wetland buffer zone; a. Vegetation alteration, including moving or clear-cutting; b. Topographic alteration, including but not limited to grading, filing, excavation, and extractions; c. Construction, placement, or installation of any structure; d. Dumping or disposing of any material foreign to the natural state of the wetland. 8. Land-disturbing activity that is proposed outside of any established wetland buffer zone which may impact the buffer zone or wetland, requires approval by the City Engineer before the activity begins. 9. The buffer zone must be placed in a conservation or open space easement or dedicated for conservation purposes. 10. The wetland buffer zone must be identified by permanent markers, approved by the City; at each lot line, but in no case more than 300 feet apart. All markers must be correctly installed prior to final plat or subdivision approval. 8.8 Shoreland Management The City Code has established setbacks for placement of structures and impervious and requirements for shoreland alterations. The City also encourages the following for work occurring within the shoreland zone: 1. Use of natural vegetation or bioengineering techniques for the stabilization of shorelines. 2. Use materials such as granite or fieldstone for shoreline stabilization project where hard armoring is necessary. 3. Use of techniques that will minimize runoff and improve water quality associated with new development and redevelopment. When possible use existing natural drainage ways, wetlands, and vegetated soil surfaces to convey, store, filter, and retain stormwater runoff Engineering Design Guidelines City of Stillwater, MN WSB Project No. 2092-560 Page 24 before discharge to public waters. When development density, topographic features, and soil and vegetation conditions are not sufficient to adequately handle stormwater runoff using natural features and vegetation, various types of constructed facilities such as diversions, settling basins, skimming devices, dikes, waterways, and ponds may be used. Preference shall be given to designs using surface drainage, vegetated filter strips, bioretention areas, rainwater gardens, enhanced swales, off-line retention areas, and natural depressions for infiltration rather than buried pipes and human-made materials and facilities (MnDNR Alternative Shoreland Standards, 2005). For projects in the BCWD: The Lake, Stream, and Wetland Buffer Rule requirements apply to, and not in place of the City’s local shoreland ordinance. For projects in the CMSCWD: The Lake, River, Stream, and Wetland Buffer Rule requirements apply to, and not in place of the City’s local shoreland ordinance. For projects in the MSCWMO: The MSCWMO defers to the Washington County regulations on shoreland management. 8.9 Long Term Inspection and Maintenance of Stormwater Facilities 1. No private stormwater facilities m ay be approved unless a maintenance plan is provided that defines how access will be provided, who will conduct the maintenance, the type of maintenance and the maintenance intervals. At a minimum, all private stormwater facilities shall be inspected annually and maintained in proper condition consistent with the performance goals for which they were originally designed and as executed in the stormwater facilities maintenance agreement (Appendix B). 2. Access to all stormwater facilities must be inspected annually and maintained as necessary. The applicant shall obtain all necessary easement or other property interests to allow access to the facilities for inspection or maintenance for both the responsible party and the City of Stillwater. 3. All settled materials including settled solids, shall be removed from ponds, sumps, grit chambers, and other devices and disposed of properly. 4. All BMPs must be maintained to the level required by the MPCA as noted in the Minnesota Stormwater Manual. 9 STORMWATER TREATMENT PRACTICE DESIGN STANDARDS 9.1 Storm Sewers 1. Manhole spacing shall not exceed 400 feet. 2. Where more than one pipe enters a structure, a catch basin/manhole shall be used. 3. Storm sewer pipe should match top of pipe on top of pipe unless grade constraints prevent this. In that case, hydraulic calculations will be necessary to verify that excessive surcharging will not occur. 4. Stormwater pipes shall be designed utilizing the Rational Method. Channel design shall be hydrograph method only. All methods are subject to the City Engineer’s approval. 5. Lateral systems shall be designed for the 10-year rainfall using the Rational Method. State Aid roadway storm sewer shall be designed per the State Aid requirements. 6. The minimum full flow velocity within the storm sewer should be 3 feet per second (fps). The maximum velocity shall be 10 fps, except when entering a pond, where the maximum velocity shall be limited to 6fps. 7. Trunk storm sewer should be designed at a minimum to carry 100-year pond discharge in addition to the 10-year design flow for directly tributary areas. The following table shall be used for the calculation of peak rates using the Rational Method: Engineering Design Guidelines City of Stillwater, MN WSB Project No. 2092-560 Page 25 Cover Type 10-Year Runoff Coefficient Single-family Residential 0.4 Multi-family Residential 0.5 Commercial 0.7 Industrial 0.7 Parks, Open Space 0.2 Ponds, Wetlands 1.0 8. For storms greater than the 10-year event, and in the case of plugged inlets, transient street ponding will occur. For safety reasons, the maximum depth in streets should not exceed 1.5 feet at the deepest point. 9. To promote efficient hydraulics within manholes, manhole benching shall be provided to half the diameter of the largest pipe entering or leaving the manhole. 10. Vaned grate (3067V or 3067L) catch basin castings shall be used on all streets. 11. The maximum design flow at a catch basin for the 10-year storm event shall be 3 cubic feet per second (cfs), unless high capacity grates are provided. Catch basins at low points will be evaluated for higher flow with the approval of the City Engineer. 12. All structures located in the street are to be a minimum of three feet deep (rim to invert). Two-by-three catch basins are the minimum-sized catch basin required and they must be four feet deep. 13. Two-foot sump catch basins or manholes are required for all new or rehabilitated storm sewer just prior to discharge to a pond, wetland, lake, or stream. 9.2 Outlet and Inlet Pipes 1. Inlet pipes of stormwater ponds shall be extended to the pond normal water level whenever possible. 2. Outfalls with velocities greater than 4 fps into channels, where the angle of the outfall to the channel flow direction is greater than 30 degrees, requires energy dissipation or stilling basins. 3. Outfalls with velocities of less than 4 fps, that project flows downstream into a channel in direction 30 degrees or less from the channel flow direction, generally do not require energy dissipaters or stilling basins, but will require riprap protection. 4. In the case of discharge to channels, riprap shall be provided on all outlets to an adequate depth below the channel grade and to a height above the outfall or channel bottom. Riprap shall be placed over a suitably graded filter material and filter fabric to ensure that soil particles do not migrate though the riprap and reduce its stability. Riprap shall be placed to a thickness at least 2.5 times the mean rock diameter to ensure that it will not be undermined or rendered ineffective by displacement. If riprap is used as protection for overland drainage routes, grouting may be recommended. 5. Discharge velocity into a pond at the outlet elevation shall be 6 fps or less. Riprap protection is required at all inlet pipes into ponds from the normal water level to the pond bottom. 6. Where outlet velocities to ponds exceed 6 fps, the design should be based on the unique site conditions present. Submergence of the outlet or installation of a stilling basin approved by the City is required when excessive outlet velocities are experienced. 7. Submerged outlet pipes from ponds are not allowed. 9.3 Channels and Overland Drainage 1. Overland drainage routes where velocities exceed 4 fps should be reviewed by the City Engineer and approved only when suitable stabilization measures are proposed. 2. Open channels and swales are recommended where flows and small grade differences prohibit the economical construction of an underground conduit. Open channels and swales can provide infiltration and filtration benefits not provided by pipe. Engineering Design Guidelines City of Stillwater, MN WSB Project No. 2092-560 Page 26 3. The minimum grade in all unpaved areas shall be 2%. 4. Maximum length for drainage swales shall be 400 feet. 5. Channel side slopes should be a maximum of 4:1 (horizontal to vertical) with gentler slopes being desirable. 6. Riprap shall be provided at all points of juncture, particularly between two open channels and where storm sewer pipes discharge into a channel. 7. Open channels should be designed to handle the expected velocity from a 10-year design storm without erosion. Riprap may need to be provided. 8. Periodic cleaning of an open channel is required to ensure that the design capacity is maintained. Therefore, all channels shall be designed to allow easy access for equipment. 9.4 Ponds 1. Where on site water quality detention basins are required, copies of the calculations determining the design of the basins shall be required. The size and design considerations will be dependent on the receiving water body's water quality category, the imperviousness of the development and the degree to which on site infiltration of runoff is encouraged. Design of on-site detention basins, as described in the site's runoff water management plan, shall incorporate recommendations from the nationwide urban runoff program (NURP) and "Protecting Water Quality in Urban Areas", published by the MPCA, as adopted by the City, or the applicable publications, as adopted by the City. The following design considerations are required for on-site water quality detention basins based on the receiving water's water quality category. These designs include permanent detention for water quality treatment; extended detention designs may be substituted if they provide treatment equivalent to the requirements below: 1) A permanent pool (dead storage) volume below the normal outlet shall be greater than or equal to the runoff from a 2.5-inch 24-hour storm over the entire contributing drainage area assuming full development. 2) Maximum allowable pond slopes above the outlet elevation are 4:1. 3) All constructed ponds and wetland mitigation areas shall have an aquatic or safety bench around their entire perimeter. The aquatic bench is defined as follows: a. Cross-slope no steeper than 10:1. b. Minimum width 10 feet. c. Located from pond outlet elevation to one-foot below pond outlet elevation. 4) All constructed ponds shall be provided a maintenance access from an adjacent roadway. The maintenance access shall be provided in the form of an easement no narrower than 20 feet. The maintenance access shall have a longitudinal slope no steeper than 6:1 and minimal cross slope. Maintenance access routes, due to their extra width, also serve well as emergency overflow (EOF) routes. 5) All constructed ponds and wetland mitigation areas shall have a maintenance access bench around sufficient perimeter to provide access to all inlets and outlets. The maintenance bench shall be located within a designated outlot or within a permanent easement. The maintenance bench shall extend from the outlet elevation to one foot above the outlet elevation and its cross slope shall be no steeper than 10:1. The maintenance bench shall connect to the maintenance access. 6) Maximum pond wet volume depth is eight feet. 7) Mean depth for wet ponds shall be a minimum of four feet. If the pond is smaller than three acre-feet in volume, mean depths of three to four feet may be used. Mean depth is defined as the area at outlet elevation divided by the wet volume. 8) All ponds shall be graded to one foot below design bottom elevation. This “hold down” allows sediment storage until site restoration is complete. 9) The top berm elevation of ponds shall be a minimum of one foot above the 100-year pond HWL. Engineering Design Guidelines City of Stillwater, MN WSB Project No. 2092-560 Page 27 10) Grading shall not block or raise emergency overflows from adjoining properties unless some provision has been made for the runoff that may be blocked behind such an embankment. 11) All ponds shall have a protected EOF that is a minimum of one foot below the lowest floor elevation. 12) The City requires skimmers or other devices in the construction of new pond outlets and the addition of skimmers to existing systems whenever feasible and practical. The designs shall provide for skimmers that extend a minimum of four inches below the water surface and minimize the velocities of water passing under the skimmer to less than 0.5 feet per second for rainfall events having a 99% frequency. 9.5 Infiltration/Filtration Practices 1. Sizing of filtration/infiltration practices, or STPs, shall be in conformance with the volume control requirements of this manual and the Minnesota Stormwater Manual. 2. When designing an infiltration practice for volume control and water quality management, on-site testing and detailed analysis are strongly encouraged to determine the infiltration rates of the proposed infiltration facility. Documented site-specific infiltration or hydraulic conductivity measurements (double-ring infiltrometer) completed by a licensed soil scientist or engineer is required. In the absence of a detailed analysis, the saturated infiltration rates listed in the Infiltration Rates for Infiltration STPs table found on the Minnesota Stormwater Manual shall be used. A piezometer shall be installed in order to ascertain the level of the local groundwater table and demonstrate at least three feet of separation between the bottom of the proposed facility and the groundwater. The soil boring is required to go to a depth of at least five feet below the proposed bottom of the STP. The soils shall be classified using the Unified Soil Classification system. The least permeable soil horizon will dictate the infiltration rate. Infiltration practices shall be designed to infiltrate the required runoff volume within 48 hours. 3. Pretreatment in the form of ponds, forebays, filter strips, or other approved methods shall be provided for all infiltration areas. Pretreatment upstream of volume management practices is a key element in the long-term viability of infiltration areas. The level of pretreatment varies largely depending on the STP and drainage area of the watershed, City staff, and Minnesota Stormwater Manual recommendations shall be utilized for determining the appropriate level of pretreatment on a case-by-case basis. 4. The infiltration practice shall not be used within fifty feet of a municipal, community or private well, unless specifically allowed by an approved wellhead protection plan. 5. The infiltration practice shall not be used for runoff from fueling and vehicle maintenance areas and industrial areas with exposed materials prosing contamination risk, unless the infiltration practice is designed to allow for spill containment. 6. The infiltration practice shall not be used in Hydrologic Soil Group (HSG) D soils without soil corrections. 7. Vegetation of infiltration/filtration practices shall be as shown in the City of Stillwater Standard Details. A plan for management for vegetation shall be included in the SWPPP. 8. If soils are unsuitable for infiltration, then filtration may be used with drain tile, provided in accordance with the City of Stillwater’s Standard Details. However, filtration basins do not meet volume control requires and MIDS water quality requirements must be used. 9. Subgrade soils for infiltration/filtration practices shall be as presented in the City of Stillwater’s Standard Details. Assume a 40% void ratio for clean washed rock and 20% for construction sand for the purposes of volume calculations. 10. Rock storage beds shall be constructed using crushed angular granite that has been thoroughly washed to remove all fine particles that could result in clogging of the system. 11. For infiltration benches adjacent to ponds, benches shall have slopes no steeper than 5:1 over the proposed infiltration zone. A slope of 10:1 is preferred. The Minnesota Stormwater Manual cites concerns with locating infiltration features immediately adjacent Engineering Design Guidelines City of Stillwater, MN WSB Project No. 2092-560 Page 28 to ponds. To address this, benches shall be located to maintain hydraulic separation from the saturated zone of the pond to minimize the loss of infiltration potential over time. 9.6 Emergency Overflow Paths 1. Emergency Overflows (EOFs) shall be sized with a minimum bottom width of five feet and 4:1 side slopes. 2. The maximum flow depth in EOFs shall be less than equal to one foot as calculated for a 100-year back-to-back storm event. 10 DESIGN EXAMPLES The design process for each of the acceptable Stormwater Treatment Practices is detailed in the Minnesota Stormwater Manual. 11 STORMWATER TREATMENT PRACTICE DETAIL DRAWINGS Please refer to the City of Stillwater’s Engineering Details (Appendix D) for the following: • Bioretention • Media Filter System • Vegetative Filter System • Infiltration Trench • Infiltration Basin • Stormwater Pond/Wetland 12 CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATIONS Construction specifications and details are found in the Minnesota Stormwater Manual for each of the acceptable STPs, unless otherwise restricted by this manual. 13 CHECKLISTS Refer to Appendix A.

A . FROM: Reabar Abdullah, Assistant City Engineer DATE: RE: May 3 l5t, 2019 2019 Street Improvement Project Project 2019-02 DISCUSSION The bid letting for the 2019 Street Improvement project was Thursday, May 16 , 2019 . The City received two bids with the lower bid in the amount of $2,330,553 .60 submitted by Miller Excavating Inc. of Baytown Minnesota . This was a little higher than estimated . Three major items were added to the project since the feasibility report ; the 2019 Sidewalk Rehabilitation Project, a large storm sewer crossing repair on 2nd Street, and at the request of the Water Board a replacement of 385 feet of water main on Oak Street. The addition of these three items added about $300,000 to the project. In analyzing the bids , unit prices between the engineers estimate and the contractors bid prices were comparable for the most part except for a few items , concrete and bituminous removals, granular materials, concrete sidewalk, concrete curb & gutter and drainage structures . In talking to the contractor, he explained that due to working in the downtown area and many different areas of the project, and multiple equipment relocations , were causes for the price difference . Costs for the 2019 Sidewalk Rehabilitation Project was a little lower than the feasibility estimate as a result of combining with the street project. After discussing price of water main work the Water Board they decided not to proceed with installation of the 3 85 feet of water main and just do smal I repairs as part of the project. Staff spent some time analyzing the project and the bids for areas where we can save some money and felt by negotiating lower unit prices on few item , and reducing some bid item quantities we could save about$ I 00 ,000 in project costs, also by tapping into the contingency used in the feasibility study the assessments are kept close to the feasibility study . RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City accept the bids submitted for the 2019 Street Improvement Project, Project 2019-02 , and award the contract, to Miller Excavating, Inc , ACTION REQUIRED If Council concurs with the recommendation, they should pass a motion adopting the Resolution 2019- ACCEPTING BID AND AW ARD ING THE CONTRACT FOR 2019 STREET IMPROVEMENT PROJECT (PROJECT 2019-02). ACCEPTING BID AND A WARDING CONTRACT FOR 2019 STREET IMPROVEMENT PROJECT 2019 Sidewalk Rehabilitation Project (Project 2019-02) WHEREAS, pursuant to an advertisement for bids for the 2019 Street Improvement Project, two bids were received, opened and tabulated according to law, and the following bids were received complying with the advertisement; BIDDER BID AMOUNT MILLER EXCAVATING, INC ., BAYTOWN, MN $2 ,330,553.60 OMG MIDWEST INC OBA MINNESOTA PA YING & MATERIALS , ROGERS , MN $3,075,285.53 ENGINEER'S ESTIMATE $1 ,912,721.84 and WHEREAS, it appears that Miller Excavating, Inc . of Baytown, MN is the lowest responsible bidder.

Adopted by the City Council this 4th day of June 2019 . Michael Polehna, Vice Mayor ATTE ST: -------------- Beth Wolf, City Clerk MEMORANDUM To: Mayor and City Council~ From: Shawn Sanders , Director of Public Works Date : May 30 , 2019 Subject: Approval of Engineering Services for Downtown Lighting Study BACKGROUND The taller highway lights in the downtown area are a little less than 30 years old . 135 of these lights were installed as part of the downtown project in 1991 and at the time were operated and maintained by the City. In 1999 , the pedestrian lights , totaling 55 were installed by Xcel Energy and an agreement was made that Xcel would take over responsibility of maintenance and operation of all the lights (16 years for the taller lights and 25 years for the pedestrian lights.). This past year condition of the taller lights were inspected by Xcel Energy and resulted in several lights being removed because the bases were rusted out, potentially becoming a fall hazard and 29 lights were eventually removed and 8 were replaced. It appears that these taller lights are at the end of the life and replacement is necessary in the near future. Although the maintenance agreement has expired with Xcel on the taller lights , the y have indicated they will continue with replacement of bulbs and ballasts when necessary . (It is also worth noting that the life of the pedestrian lights are approaching 25 years and the agreement with Xcel expires in 2024 . These lights too may be in need of replacement. DISCUSSION Staff is proposing a lighting study for the downtown area that would look at several options including: a new layout for lights that would include only pedestrian lighting , tall performance based lighting or a combination of both. Explore the feasibility of a city construction of new lights vs Xcel construction cost and a city owned system vs Xcel owned system. Conduct meeting with staff, council and the downtown business group. Staff received two quotes to do the study with SEH submitting a quote not to exceed $17 ,750 .00 . (The quote is attached to the memo). There was no monies budgeted for this work , but the Finance Director has indicated we could find available funds in the Permanent Improvement Fund. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that a study of the Downtown Lighting Study proceed and that SEH be approved to do the study in the amount not to exceed $17 ,750 .00 . ACTION REQUIRED If Council concurs with the recommendation, the y should pass a motion adopting Resolution No. 2019-_, ACCEPTING PROPOSAL AND A WARDING CONTRACT FOR ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR DOWNTOWN LIGHTING STUDY (Project 2019- 10). ACCEPTING PROPOSAL AND A WARDING CONTRACT FOR ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR THE DOWNTOWN LIGHTING STUDY PROJECT 2019-10 WHEREAS, the City solicited quotes to provide engineering services for the Downtown Lighting Study and two have been received . WHEREAS, the proposal from SEH being the best fit for the project based upon the scope of serv ices requested by the City; and NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF STILLWATER, MINNESOTA: The Mayor and Clerk are hereby authorized and directed to enter into a contract with SEH , in the name of the City of Stillwater for engineering services for the Downtown Lighting Study.

Therefore, at this time, we do not yet have the funds needed to cover the city deposits and charges listed below. We ask that the city might consider waiving the fees below (and any other items for consideration as well) as we hope that these items are flexible if the city is as excited to have this event as we observed through the approval process? We would also like to take this opportunity to ask if there are any city appropriations available to support this event for the community? App Fee - $100 Event Fee & Deposit - $500 + $1,000 Lowell Park Rental Fee - $100 Park Open Space Fee - $50 Parking Lot #5 Day Fee - $21 Electrical Use Fee - $20 Barricade Fees - $12 Portable Toilette Fees - $180 Please let us know as soon as you get the chance to review this request as we will need to know how to adjust our budget and plan for the ever-evolving details of this event. Thank you and we look forward to hearing your decision on this matter.

The HPC denied the demolition permit on the basis there was a feasible alternative to demolition of this historic resource. On April 16, 2019 the City Council upheld the HPC’s decision and ordered the preparation of a Demolition Designation Study. The Demolition Designation Study was prepared by the 106 Group, and submitted to the City on May 24, 2019; the Study is attached for the City Council’s review. 615 Broadway St. South, Photo Credit: Google Images (August, 2018) HPC Case no. 2019-03 Page 2 SPECIFIC REQUEST Consideration of the acceptance of a Demolition Designation Study (Study) for the Nels Hanson House, located at 615 Broadway Street South. ANALYSIS The Study notes the Nels Hanson House was constructed during the Development of Residential Neighborhoods Historic Context period but that the property is not eligible to be listed under any of the City’s applicable historic criteria. The 106 Group’s recommendation indicates “Because the Nels Hanson House does not meet any of the local Heritage Preservation Site criteria as an individual property, it is not recommended for individual designation as a heritage preservation site”. POSSIBLE ACTIONS City Code Section 34-4, Subd. 2(2)(b)(iii)(1).“if the city council denies implementation of the designation after completion of the designation study, then the building official shall issue the demolition permit”. The City Council has the following options: A. Accept the Study. If the Council accepts (approves) the Study, it acknowledges the structure is not a historic resource. If the Council approves the Study, this would mean the Council may: 1. Move to authorize the demolition of the structure; or 2. Move to table consideration of the demolition of the structure for determination to be made no later than October 13, 2019. B. Reject the Study. If the Council rejects (denies) the Study, then it does not accept the Study findings and will continue to pursue individual listing of the structure. If the Council rejects the study, this would mean the Council must begin designation implementation. Under this scenario, the HPC would need to hold a public hearing (with 30 days advanced legal notice), consult with the State Historic Preservation Office, and solicit input from the Planning Commission prior to making a recommendation for designation to the City Council. The City Council, too, would need to hold a public hearing prior to their consideration. If the City Council denies the implementation of the designation (i.e. elects to not locally designate the structure), then the demolition permit may be issued. FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATION The City’s Demolition Designation Study pre-approval process requires consulting firms and all agencies meet the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualifications Standards (as published in the Federal Register of September 29, 1983). Erin Que, 106 Group Architectural Historian, meets these qualifications; her independent and impartial analysis has determined the site to not be eligible for local listing. Therefore, staff would recommend the City Council move to accept (approve) the Demolition Designation Study for the Nels Hanson House, located at 615 Broadway Street South, and authorize the demolition of the structure.

The block on which this house is located is sited on top of a steep bluff that runs parallel to the St. Croix River to the northeast. A limestone retaining wall borders the front yard and features two concrete steps in the center to access the concrete sidewalk that runs to the front door (Figures 1 and 2). A concrete driveway is located along the northwest elevation of the house and slopes downward to the rear of the lot. The rear of the property was not accessible during field survey in May 2019; however, recent photos of the rear elevation were provided by the City of Stillwater (Heritage Preservation Commission [HPC] Staff Report: Case No. 2019-03, Prepared by Abbi Jo Wittman, City Planner, City of Stillwater, March 20, 2019). The house rests on a limestone foundation, is clad in vinyl siding, and has a front gable roof that is covered with asphalt shingles. It is oriented southwest-northeast, due to the orientation of Broadway Street South. The house was built in 1880 and originally was rectangular in plan. It exhibits characteristics of the nineteenth century vernacular architectural style found in Stillwater (Stillwater HPC 2013:12; Washington County 2019). Buildings of this era were typically clad in wood (Stillwater HPC 2013:4). On the southwest-facing façade, there is a one-story, full-width, enclosed porch that exhibits some characteristics of the Colonial Revival style (Figure 3). The porch features painted, square, wood columns; is clad in painted wood paneling beneath the windows; and has dentils beneath the eaves. The porch has a hipped roof that is covered with asphalt shingles. The primary entranceway is located at the southeast end of the porch. The windows on the second story of the house feature inoperable wood shutters. A third-story, square-shaped tower is centrally located on the northwest roof slope. Towers are not considered a character-defining feature of the nineteenth century vernacular architectural style in Stillwater. Towers were commonly built on high-style Stillwater homes (i.e. Queen Anne, Second Empire) during this time period, especially on homes with views over the St. Croix River Valley (Stillwater HPC 2013). The house has undergone several additions since it was constructed in 1880 (Washington County 2019). A one-story, full-width addition was built on the rear (northeast) elevation of the house in 1987 (City of Stillwater 1987). A one-story, bay window addition was built on the southeast elevation in 1996 (City of Stillwater 1996). A one-story, partial-width addition was built on the northeast elevation of the 1987 addition in 2010 (City of Stillwater 2010). The southeast elevation of the house has a partially exposed basement and multiple additions (Figures 4 and 5). The first story features a 1996 one-story, bay window addition in the southwest half (City of Stillwater 1996). This addition rests on a poured concrete foundation, is clad in vinyl siding, and has a hipped roof that is covered with asphalt shingles. To the northeast of the bay window addition, there is an attached pergola that is comprised of wood posts with wood latticework affixed to the top of the posts, and a gable roof that is covered with asphalt shingles. The construction date of the pergola is not known and could not be discerned from aerial photographs. A secondary entranceway beneath the pergola provides access to an above-ground hot tub. A tall, one-story, gable roof addition is located on the rear (northeast) of the house and projects beyond the original footprint of the house; it was built in 1987 (City of Stillwater 1987). This 1987 addition is clad in vinyl siding and has a front gable roof that is covered Nels Hanson House Historic Site Designation Form Continuation Sheet 106 Group | 2 with asphalt shingles. An exterior, concrete block chimney is located near the south corner of the original house, and is attached to the southwest wall of the rear addition; it was built between 2013-2015 (Google 2013; Microsoft 2015). A wood deck wraps around the southwest and southeast elevations of the addition and connects to a larger deck on the rear of the house. The construction date of the deck is not known, but may have been built in conjunction with the 1987 addition. Multiple additions are also located on the northeast elevation (Figure 6). The 1987 addition spans the full width of the northeast elevation. The wood deck is attached to the southeast half of the 1987 addition and is accessed by wood steps. A half-width addition was constructed in 2010 on the northwest half of the 1987 addition (City of Stillwater 2010). It is comprised of a fully exposed basement that contains a garage stall, and a tall, one-story screened porch above. The basement level is clad in vinyl siding. The screened porch has a wood frame with wood trusses that extend across the full width of the northeast elevation, creating a pergola over the wood deck. The porch walls are comprised of two-part aluminum screens. The openings in the outward-facing trusses are filled with glass. The porch has a shed roof that is covered with asphalt shingles. On the northwest elevation, the basement is partially exposed in the southwest half and fully exposed in the northeast half (Figure 7). Multiple additions are located on the northwest elevation, which is comprised of, from southwest to northeast, the two-story original house with a third-story tower projection at the northeast end, the 1987 rear addition, and the 2010 rear addition. The roofline on the original house was slightly altered in the 1990s to accommodate a second-story window, near the center (Presentation by Reid and Julie Miller, owners, to the Stillwater City Council, April 16, 2019). The first- and second-story windows have inoperable wood shutters. The tower features a pyramid roof that is covered with asphalt shingles. According to City records, part of the siding on the tower is damaged and has been covered with plywood with decorative metal filigree and glass (HPC Staff Report: Case No. 2019-03, Prepared by Abbi Jo Wittman, City Planner, City of Stillwater, March 20, 2019). The northwest elevation of the 1987 addition consists of a fully exposed basement that contains a two-stall garage, and a first story addition to the house with a bay window and screened porch. The 2010 addition consists of a third garage stall on the basement level and an addition to the screened porch on the first story. The northwest elevation of the porch features a wood frame with two-part aluminum screens and a wood railing. Fenestration on the southwest-facing façade of the front porch, from northwest to southeast, consists of four one-over-one, double-hung, aluminum windows with fixed, one-over-one, screen windows; and a single-leaf metal storm door at the southeast end that is flanked by narrow, one-over-one, double-hung, aluminum windows with fixed, one-over-one, screen windows. Fenestration on the first story of the southwest-facing façade of the house, from northwest to southeast, consists of a six-over-six, double-hung wood window and a single-leaf wood door with four lights. Fenestration on the second story of the southwest-facing façade consists of two replacement, one-over-one, double-hung, wood windows that are slightly smaller than the original windows (Presentation by Reid and Julie Miller, owners, to the Stillwater City Council, April 16, 2019). Nels Hanson House Historic Site Designation Form Continuation Sheet 106 Group | 3 Fenestration on the southeast elevation of the front porch consists of three one-over-one, double-hung, aluminum windows with fixed, one-over -one, screen windows. Fenestration on the basement level of the house consists of a sliding vinyl window. Fenestration on the first story of the southeast elevation, from southwest to northeast, consists of a fixed, vinyl, octagonal window with faux wood dividers; a single- leaf door of an unknown material; and a vinyl picture window. Fenestration on the 1996 bay window addition consists of two one-over-one, double-hung, vinyl windows with faux dividers; paired wide one- over-one, double-hung, vinyl windows with faux dividers; and two one-over-one, double-hung, vinyl windows with faux dividers. Fenestration on the first story of the southwest elevation of the 1987 rear addition consists of a fixed, vinyl window with faux dividers. Fenestration on the first story of the southeast elevation of the rear addition consists of two vinyl picture windows. Fenestration on the second story of the southeast elevation consists of a fixed, vinyl, octagonal window; and two vinyl casement windows with faux dividers. Fenestration on the basement level of the northeast elevation consists of a vinyl window with faux dividers. The type of window operation could not be determined in the field. Fenestration on the first story of the northeast elevation, from southeast to northeast, consists of a tall, fixed, vinyl window with faux dividers; a large, sliding vinyl window; a porch access door of an unknown operation and material; and a tall, fixed, vinyl window with faux dividers. There is no visible fenestration on the second story of the northeast elevation. Fenestration on the basement level of the northwest elevation of the original house consists of three vinyl sliding windows. Fenestration on the basement level of the northwest elevation of the 1987 addition consists of two single-stall, steel, overhead garage doors. Fenestration on the basement level of the northwest elevation of the 2010 addition consists of a single-stall, steel, overhead garage door. Fenestration on the northwest elevation of the front porch consists of three one-over-one, double-hung, aluminum windows with fixed, one-over-one, screen windows. Fenestration on the first story of the original house, from southwest to northeast, consists of three one-over-one, double-hung, vinyl windows with faux dividers; and one vinyl casement window with faux dividers. Fenestration on the first story of the 1987 addition consists of three vinyl casement windows with faux dividers. There is no fenestration on the 2010 addition. Fenestration on the second story of the original house consists of a one-over-one, double-hung, vinyl window with faux dividers; and two vinyl casement windows with faux dividers. Fenestration on the third story of the tower projection consists of one vinyl casement window with faux dividers. The third story of the tower on the northwest elevation features a vinyl casement window with faux dividers on the southwest elevation; a vinyl awning window with faux dividers on the southeast elevation; two vinyl casement windows with faux dividers on the northeast elevation, and a vinyl casement window with faux dividers on the northwest elevation. Integrity The house retains excellent integrity of location as it remains in its original location in the South Hill neighborhood. The house also retains excellent integrity of setting as it remains surrounded by the Nels Hanson House Historic Site Designation Form Continuation Sheet 106 Group | 4 original houses that predate its construction, and is sited overlooking the St. Croix River valley (Washington County 2019). The integrity of design, materials, and workmanship have been compromised by several alterations and additions over time, including replacement siding in 1987 that is not in-kind; alterations to slightly reduce the size of the front, second-story windows in the 1990s; replacement windows throughout and new octagonal windows on the southeast elevation in the 1990s; the enclosure of the front porch in the 1990s; the bay window addition on the southeast elevation in 1996; the rear additions in 1987 and 2010; and the replacement and relocation of the original chimney in 2013-2015 (City of Stillwater 1987a; City of Stillwater 1987b; City of Stillwater 1996; City of Stillwater 1910; Google 2013; Microsoft 2015; Presentation by Reid and Julie Miller, owners, to the Stillwater City Council, April 16, 2019). The house retains fair integrity of feeling and association as many of its nineteenth century characteristics have been obscured by alterations. Overall, the house retains poor integrity due to the significant alterations. Narrative Statement of Significance History South Hill Neighborhood This property was platted in 1848 as part of the Original Town of Stillwater, although the neighborhood was not settled immediately. The South Hill neighborhood is bounded by Myrtle Street to the north, Main Street to the east, Willard Street to the south, and Sixth Street South to the west. The oldest houses in the neighborhood are located in the north end (Roberts 1996:1, 25). Broadway Street South was not included on the 1884 Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps; however, numerous houses were already built by this time in the South Hill neighborhood. In fact, 26 properties in this neighborhood were built by 1870, an additional 27 were built by 1875, and 11 were built by 1879 (Roberts 1996:23). The landscape and architectural design of the South Hill neighborhood reflects the picturesque aesthetic that became popular in the 1870s and 1880s (Roberts 1996:30). This area was generally settled by businessmen who worked at the south end of Stillwater as well as professionals, government employees, elected officials, and local tradesmen (Roberts 1996:30-33). Residences in the South Hill neighborhood exhibit a variety of popular styles from the 1880s, including Italianate, French Second Empire, and Queen Anne (Roberts 1996:40). This property is an example of the nineteenth century vernacular architecture of Stillwater. Vernacular houses built from 1845-1910 featured the following characteristics: one-and-a-half-story height; gabled roofs with wood shingles; rectangular plans with porches are later additions to increase living space; minimal ornament, two-over-two, double- hung windows, vertically proportioned; and a central chimney (Stillwater HPC 2013:7, 12). Some houses in the South Hill neighborhood also features limestone retaining walls and limestone foundations, as in this house at 615 Broadway Street South (Roberts 1996:40). After 1910, concrete block became more commonly used for foundations and retaining walls. Most of the early homes in this area were built with wood frames and siding. Wood shingles were also commonly used on roofs prior to 1900, before transitioning to asphalt or asbestos shingles (Stillwater HPC 2013:4). Nels Hanson House Historic Site Designation Form Continuation Sheet 106 Group | 5 Property History No original building permits for this property were on file at the City of Stillwater. Tract records on file at the Washington County Courthouse indicate that the land on which this house is sited was deeded to Nels Hanson in 1879 (Washington County Courthouse n.d.). According to Washington County records, the house was built in 1880 (Washington County 2019). The original architect or builder is not known. The property is first depicted on a Sanborn Fire Insurance Map in 1898. It included a two-story, wood frame dwelling with a shingle roof, an open one-story porch on the southwest-facing façade, and a one-story, rectangular wing at the rear that extended slightly beyond the two-story portion of the house. A one-and- a-half-story carriage house was located to the northeast of the house (Sanborn Map Company 1898). By 1910, the rear one-story wing was replaced with a square-shaped addition, slightly shorter than the width of the two-story portion, and it had an open one-story porch on the southeast elevation of the wing. Additionally, a one-story outbuilding was built to the southeast of the house (Sanborn Map Company 1910). In 1920, a building permit was issued for new shingles and general repairs (City of Stillwater 1920). The one-story outbuilding was removed by 1924 (Sanborn Map Company 1924). The carriage house was removed between 1949 and 1966 (NETR 1949; NETR 1966). The porch and part of the house were re-roofed in 1972 (City of Stillwater 1972). In 1981, a 12-foot by 21-foot deck was constructed on the rear of the house (City of Stillwater 1981). This deck is likely no longer extant due to later changes to the rear of the house. In 1987, a 24-foot by 24-foot garage and a second-story addition were constructed; this likely refers to the rear addition that is comprised of a basement-level garage and first-story addition (City of Stillwater 1987a). It may also include the construction of the tower projection, but this element is not described on available building permits. The previous square-shaped addition at the rear of the house was likely removed prior to the construction of the 1987 addition as the footprints do not match. Also in 1987, the house was re-sided with vinyl siding (City of Stillwater 1987b). According to the property owner, there were several changes to the house in the 1990s. On the southwest-facing façade, the porch was fully enclosed, the porch roof was altered, and the second-story windows were replaced and resized from the original fenestration. The roofline on the northwest elevation was altered to accommodate a second-story window in the southwest half. The octagonal windows on the southeast elevation were also installed during this period (Presentation by Reid and Julie Miller, owners, to the Stillwater City Council, April 16, 2019). The one-story, bay window addition on the southeast elevation was built in 1996, possibly in conjunction with the other changes in the 1990s (City of Stillwater 1996). In 2010, an 8-foot by 12-foot garage addition with a screened porch above was constructed on the rear of the house, as an addition to the 1987 addition. This 2010 addition included a third garage stall and extension of the existing screened porch above the second garage stall, built in 1987 (City of Stillwater 2010). As of 2013, the house’s chimney was brick and located on the ridgeline; this was likely the original chimney. It was replaced by a concrete block chimney located near the south corner of the original house between 2013-2015 (Google 2013; Microsoft 2015). In 2015, the roof shingles were replaced (City of Stillwater 2015). Due to dense tree cover, historical aerial photographs do not provide additional detail about the construction date of the tower on the northwest elevation or the pergola on the southeast elevation. Nels Hanson House Historic Site Designation Form Continuation Sheet 106 Group | 6 Occupant History Nels Hanson lived on Broadway Street South since at least 1880 along with his wife, (Eva) Christeen, and their children, Louis (Edward), Mary, Ida, and Albert (U.S. Census Bureau 1880). Hanson was first listed at 615 Broadway Street South in the 1887 city directory (Barrett 1887:129). Hanson owned a meat market (Hanson & Co., later Hanson Meat Co.) at 234 Main Street South and later 306 Main Street South and 210 Main Street South, all of which appear to remain extant (Barrett 1887:129; Davison and Moore 1882:203; R.L. Polk & Co. 1904:124). The house was presumably built for Hanson, based on tract records at the Washington County Courthouse; however, original building permits are not on file at the City of Stillwater. Hanson moved to Stillwater in 1865 and opened his meat market in 1875. As of 1882, four individuals are listed in the city directory as employees of Hanson & Co. Hanson Meat Co. was one of five meat markets in Stillwater as of 1882, along with Kirchof & Weisel (later Fulton Meat Market), O’Neal Bros., Severance & Stone, and Isaac Staples (Davison and Moore 1882:203). Both Hanson and Staples independently owned several commercial blocks in Downtown Stillwater. Staples had arrived in the St. Croix River Valley in 1853 and organized a lumber company the following year, which became very successful. Staples’ meat market was open in Stillwater by 1871. The oldest butcher in Stillwater was John Illingworth, who began his career in 1855 (Neill 1881:579; The Saint Paul Globe, 28 June 1898:3; The Saint Paul Globe, 14 October 1898:8). By 1890, Hanson lived next door at 609 Broadway Street South. Martin M. Eldred, Benjamin S. Miller, and Elizabeth Miller (a dressmaker) were listed as residents at 615 Broadway Street South, which suggests that the property was occupied by boarders (R.L. Polk & Co. 1890:107, 131, 191). In 1892, John B. Hardy, a collector for F.J.R. Aiple resided at this address (R.L. Polk & Co. 1892:142). In 1894, Christian C. Behrens, a bookkeeper for F.J.R. Aiple resided at this address (R.L. Polk & Co. 1894:53). In 1896, Albert Bussiere, a bookkeeper for J.J. Eichten resided at this address, and Alma Ponath was a domestic servant for this address (R.L. Polk & Co. 1896:69, 211). According to the 1898 and 1900 city directories, Oscar A. Darbush (or A. Oscar Garbucsh), a clerk at Stillwater Hardware Co., resided at this address (R.L. Polk & Co. 1898:97; R.L. Polk & Co. 1900:113). However, the 1900 census indicates that John Corrigan, a foreman in a shoe shop, lived at the address with his wife, Sarah, their son, Charles, and Mary Luken, a domestic servant (U.S. Census Bureau 1900). By 1902, Louis E. Hanson (son of Nels Hanson) resided at this address and was a cutter at his father’s meat market (R.L. Polk & Co. 1902:125). By 1910, Louis was associated with his parents’ house at 609 Broadway Street South and Elmer, Mary, and Dorothy Reese rented 615 Broadway Street South (R.L. Polk & Co. 1910:112; U.S. Census Bureau 1910). In 1912, Frank F. Johnson, a travel agent, resided at this address (R.L. Polk & Co. 1912:110). Johnson rented this house until at least 1920, along with his wife, Mary, and their daughters, Mary and Jeanette (U.S. Census Bureau 1920). Louis (Edward) Hanson was the owner at the time, according to a historical building permit (City of Stillwater 1920). By 1927, Louis’ son, Howard, resided at the address and worked as a bookkeeper for Hanson Meat Co. (R.L. Polk & Co. 1927:65). Howard lived there with his wife, Margaret, and their children, Howard and Mary (U.S. Census Bureau 1930). Howard remained at 615 Broadway Street South into the 1940s, but by 1945, he was associated with 609 Broadway Street South. Earl Jones, an optometrist, resided at 615 Broadway Street South with his wife, Helen (R.L. Polk & Co. 1945:52, 62, 146). In 1948, George A. Sorenson lived at this address with his wife, Clara; George was employed at Grand Café and later the state prison in Bayport (R.L. Polk & Co. 1948:110, 147; R.L. Nels Hanson House Historic Site Designation Form Continuation Sheet 106 Group | 7 Polk & Co. 1951:112; R.L. Polk & Co. 1954:108). Sorenson remained at this address through 1977 (City of Stillwater 1972; R.L. Polk & Co. 1977:38). In 1978, Terrence (Terry) and Sally Zoller resided at this address (R.L. Polk & Co. 1978:285). Sally worked as an appraiser for the County Assessor and Terry worked for the Minnesota Department of Transportation (R.L. Polk & Co. 1980:311; R.L. Polk & Co. 1985:325). The Zollers remained the owners until December 2018 when the home was purchased by Julie and Reid Miller (Edina Realty Title Inc. 2018). A “Stillwater Historic Homes Tour” brochure suggests that this house was built in 1870 and that Bing Crosby’s mother was born here; however, a biography about Bing Crosby indicates that his mother, Catherine Harrigan, was born in a boarding room above an old creamery, and lived in a large boardinghouse on Main Street in Stillwater and a house on Second Street before leaving the area (Giddins 2001; Rivertown Restoration 1984). Therefore, it appears that any association with Catherine Harrigan is incorrect. Significance This property was previously surveyed as part of an intensive National Register survey of the South Hill Stillwater Residential Area, which recommended a potential historic district in the west side of the South Hill neighborhood. Due to this property’s location in the east side of the South Hill neighborhood, it was not identified as potentially contributing to this potential historic district (Roberts 1996). Additionally, during this intensive National Register survey, this house was recommended not preliminarily eligible for listing in the NRHP (Zahn and Roberts 1996). This property was evaluated for local significance within the following historic context: “Development of Residential Neighborhoods in Stillwater, 1850-1940; Historical Context of the South Hill, 1850s-1940s” (Roberts 1996). According to Stillwater City Code, Section 22-7, Subd. 4, this property was evaluated for local significance under the following Heritage Preservation Site criteria: 1. Its character, interest or value as part of the development, heritage, or cultural characteristics of the City of Stillwater, State of Minnesota, or the United States. This property does not stand out within the history or development of Stillwater, the South Hill neighborhood, Minnesota, or the United States. Residential development began in Stillwater in the 1850s and approximately 50 residences were built in the South Hill neighborhood prior to the construction of this property in 1880. The house directly southeast at 623 Broadway Street South was built in 1875, the house directly northwest at 609 Broadway Street South was built in 1876, a house across the street and to the southwest at 604 Broadway Street South was built in 1875, and two other properties on this block of Broadway Street South between Locust Street East and Walnut Street East were built in 1870 at 603 and 620 Broadway Street South (Washington County 2019). It is also not a distinctive example of architecture within the South Hill neighborhood, which is known to exhibit a variety of popular architectural styles from the 1880s including Italianate, French Second Empire, and Queen Anne. Therefore, this property is not eligible under Criterion #1. Nels Hanson House Historic Site Designation Form Continuation Sheet 106 Group | 8 2. Its location as a site of a significant historic event. According to local histories, this property is not known to have been the site of a significant historic event. Therefore, this property is not eligible under Criterion #2. 3. Its identification with a person or persons who significantly contributed to the culture and development of the City of Stillwater. The earliest known owner was Nels Hanson, a butcher and owner of Hanson Meat Co., who resided at this house in 1880 and remained for about 10 years before moving into the property next door at 609 Broadway Street South. Hanson was one of several meat market proprietors and commercial block owners in Stillwater in the 1880s and 1890s. However, his contributions within the commercial history and development of Stillwater do not appear to have gone above and beyond the contributions of other similar businessmen in Stillwater at the same time. The house was a rental property from 1890 to 1902, at which point Hanson’s son Louis resided here, who also worked at Hanson Meat Co. By 1910, Louis moved to the property next door at 609 Broadway Street South. It was again a rental property 1927 when Louis’ son Howard resided here. By 1945, Howard moved to the property next door at 609 Broadway Street South. George A. Sorenson resided here from 1948-1977, followed by Terence and Sally Zoller from 1978-2018, and Julie and Reid Miller starting in 2018. Although some of the occupants had significant tenures at this property, none of these individuals are known to be significant within the history, culture, or development of the City of Stillwater. Therefore, this property is not eligible under Criterion #3. 4. Its embodiment of distinguishing characteristics of an architectural style, period, form or treatment. This property retains some characteristics of the nineteenth century vernacular house style in Stillwater including its one-and-a-half-story height, gabled roof, minimal ornament, and vertically proportioned windows. However, the property has lost several characteristics of this architectural style due to later additions and alterations, including the enclosure of the porch; replacement of the original wood siding and wood shingles not-in kind; the replacement of original windows not in-kind; obstruction of the rectangular plan due to additions to the rear and southeast elevations; and removal of the central chimney. Therefore, this property does not retain sufficient distinguishing characteristics of nineteenth century vernacular houses to be exemplary of the style. Although the porch exhibits some characteristics of the Colonial Revival style, the rest of the house does not and there is no physical or historical evidence to indicate that the house was originally designed in the Colonial Revival style. Therefore, this property is not eligible under Criterion #4. 5. Its identification as work of an architectural or master builder whose individual work has influenced the development of the City of Stillwater. The architect and builder of this property are not known. Therefore, this property is not an example of the work of a master and accordingly, this property is not eligible under Criterion #5. 6. Its embodiment of elements of architectural design, detail, materials, or craftsmanship which represent a significant architectural innovation. This property’s vernacular form by its nature does not exhibit significant elements of architectural design or detail, and therefore, it does not represent a significant architectural innovation. In addition, most of its Nels Hanson House Historic Site Designation Form Continuation Sheet 106 Group | 9 exterior materials have been replaced over time. The primary original materials that remain are the limestone foundation and the wood framing of the front porch. Therefore, this property does not represent significant use of materials or craftsmanship. Therefore, this property is not eligible under Criterion #6. 7. Its unique location, scale or other physical characteristic representing an established and familiar visual feature of a neighborhood, a district, the community, or the City of Stillwater. The scale of this property and its general physical characteristics do not stand out within the scale and physical characteristics of the South Hill neighborhood. However, this property does retain its original limestone foundation and features a limestone retaining wall parallel to the sidewalk and the driveway. These elements are indicative of older building stock and building element found in the South Hill neighborhood. Only this property and the property to the southeast at 623 Broadway Street South feature these walls. It is not known if the walls were removed elsewhere on the block; however, the existing topography suggests that such walls were not necessary in other nearby properties. There are other examples of limestone foundations and retaining walls in the South Hill neighborhood and they are considered more prominent attributes in the North Hill neighborhood, by comparison (Roberts 1995:46); Roberts 1996:40). As such, the limestone walls and foundation of this property do not represent a distinctive visual feature among the properties in the South Hill neighborhood or the City of Stillwater. Therefore, this property is not eligible under Criterion #7. Recommendation Because the Nels Hanson House does not meet any of the local Heritage Preservation Site criteria as an individual property, it is not recommended for individual designation as a heritage preservation site.

At their May 15, 2019 meeting, the Stillwater Heritage Preservation Commission denied the demolition of the accessory structure on the property located at 114 Harriet Street North, historically known as the David Swain house. The HPC’s denial is on the basis the structure is a historic resource and there are feasible alternatives to demolition. SPECIFIC REQUEST The Heritage Preservation Commission is requesting the Council’s authorization of a Demolition Designation Study for the accessory structure located on the property at 116 Harriet Street North. Street View (Google Images – August, 2013) HPC Case no. 2019-09 Page 2 ANALYSIS The residence at 116 Harriet Street North was built by David Swain in 1877. Swain was a prominent steamboat builder and captain, owner of the local Marine Engine Works, where he manufactured marine engines and parts, and builder of the steam engine used to swing the pontoon open on the first (1876) bridge across the St. Croix River at Stillwater. As noted in the HPC staff report, the Greeley Addition Historic Preservation Planning Area Report (Report) indicates Swain was probably the wealthiest individual to live in this neighborhood. The residence was also home of the Hooley family, prominent Stillwater grocers. This structure is not proposed for demolition. The circa 1918 outbuilding, now used as a private garage, was constructed by David Swain during the Development of Residential Neighborhoods (1850s – 1940s) Historic Context period. While the HPC report indicates “it can be assumed Swain constructed steam engines in this structure,” historical narratives indicate Swain built the “storehouse and workshop” “to house his steamboat patterns and parts” but, within the month after building permit issuance, David Swain died. The property owners have indicated the garage’s second story contains steamboat parts. The Report includes a Bird’s Eye View of the west north hill in 1879; a large outbuilding appears to be shown on the rendering in the location of the existing structure. Furthermore, the (approximately) 900 square foot garage appears to be in the same configuration as a similar structure was is shown on the 1904 Sanborn Fire Insurance Map. However, neither of those structures were this specific building. Although the interior lumber is dimensional, several boards are stamped with “Gould LBR CO. Seattle, Wash”. There is a sag in the loft floor, a sistered cross beam, and the support poles are starting to rot. The exterior paint, determined to be lead, is peeling from the structure. Applicable Regulations City Code Section 34-4, Subd. 2(b)(iii) indicates when the Heritage Preservation Commission has made a positive finding that the structure is a historic resource and that there is a feasible alternative to demolition, then the HPC shall direct the Community Development Director to prepare a demolition designation study. The purpose of the designation study (a $5,000 cost that the City must pay) is for a historian to investigate whether there is sufficient historical value in a structure to merit designating the property as a local heritage preservation site. The City Code further indicates “If the city council does not approve the preparation of the designation study within 30 days of the commission determination…then the building official shall issue the demolition permit”. Public Comment The City has received no public comment regarding this demolition request. POSSIBLE ACTIONS The City Council has the following options: A. Approve the preparation of the Demolition Designation Study. HPC Case no. 2019-09 Page 3 B. Deny the preparation of the Demolition Designation Study and authorize the demolition of the accessory structure. FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Council take action on the request.

Jeff Anderson, property owner and Kelli Kaufer, applicant. Motion by Commissioner Krakowski, seconded by Commissioner Walls, to adopt the Consent Agenda. All in favor, 6-0. PUBLIC HEARING Case No. 2019-09: Consideration of a Demolition Permit for the garage located at 116 Harriet Street North in the Neighborhood Conservation District. Daniel and Allison Boblit, property owners and Jim Barton, applicant. City Planner Wittman explained the case. The applicant is requesting a demolition permit for the garage located at 116 Harriet Street North in order to build a three-car garage. Due to the location, the future garage will require a variance from the Planning Commission. The approximately 900 square foot garage appears to be in the same configuration as the 1904 Sanborn Fire Insurance Map. Although the interior lumber is dimensional, several boards are stamped with “Gould LBR CO. Seattle, Wash.” There is a sag in the loft floor, a sistered cross beam, and the support poles are starting to rot. The exterior paint, determined to be lead, is peeling. On a March 18 site inspection by Building Official Cindy Shilts and Ms. Wittman, the Heritage Preservation Commission Meeting May 15, 2019 Page 2 of 3 structure was determined to be in fair to good condition. The existing structure could be repaired. Based on the review of the property and associated records, staff made a determination that the property could potentially be locally designated because of one of the following: a) The character, interest or value as part of the development heritage or cultural characteristics of the city, state or county. b) The location as a site of a significant historic event. c) The identification with a person or persons who significantly contributed to the city's culture and development. d) The embodiment of distinguishing characteristics of an architectural style, period, form or treatment. e) The identification as work of an architect or master builder whose individual work influenced the city's development. f) The embodiment of elements of architectural design, detail, materials or craftsmanship that represent a significant architectural innovation. g) The unique location or singular physical characteristic representing an established and familiar visual feature of a neighborhood, community or the city. Thus, as required by the demolition ordinance, the application is before the HPC for review and consideration. The Commission must first determine if the structure is a historic resource and, if so, if it is worthy of designation. Allison Boblit, applicant, pointed out the work they have done on the house since 2014 shows their dedication to maintaining the historic look of the home. The garage is presently more of an eyesore than an architectural feature. They would like to build a more beautiful and functional garage. Dan Boblit, applicant, added that they want to add a third stall to get their car off the street. Chair Mino opened the public hearing. There were no public comments. The public hearing was closed. Commissioner Finwall asked the applicants if they considered adding onto the existing garage. Mr. Boblit replied there are many things that would need to be replaced from siding to trusses sagging to garage doors and a cracked floor. Mrs. Boblit added it would cost as much or more to repair everything. They would like to get a third stall. Commissioner Larson explained that in the Conservation District a property owner may add onto or alter a structure without coming to the HPC, but demolitions do come to the HPC and restrictions are tight. Whether a structure has spectacular architecture does not matter, only whether it has historic significance. It may be preferable to have a new structure, but it seems that it is feasible to repair it. Chair Mino asked, what was the structure originally? City Planner Wittman replied it is assumed, but not known for sure, that it was Mr. Swain’s workshop. The garage doors have been altered slightly. At one time there was supposedly a pulley lift system in the floor that would lift things into the attic but it is unclear whether that was part of this structure. Commissioner Larson questioned, if it was built at the peak of the local lumber industry, why was the lumber was imported from Seattle? This makes him question whether this was the original building. Commissioner Finwall acknowledged that its historic significance could be its construction by a person contributing to the history of Stillwater. An addition appears to be feasible. Mrs. Boblit replied she doesn’t think they could do an addition and stay under the square footage restriction. City Planner Wittman explained the existing garage is 916 square feet and the proposed new garage would be 994 square feet. A challenge is how to add a third stall and still maintain the integrity of structure. The depth of the structure is almost 30 feet and a stall is about 10 feet wide, so they could not add another stall and still be under the maximum square footage according to zoning code. Motion by Commissioner Larson, seconded by Commissioner Steinwall, to deny a demolition permit for the garage located at 116 Harriet Street North, Case No. 2019-09, and to forward to the City Council a determination that the the structure is a historic resource and there is a feasible alternative to demolition. All in favor, 6-0. Case No. 2019-11: Consideration of a new infill residence for the property located on XXX William Street North in the RB district. Mulcahy Holdings, property owner and Paul Bruggeman, applicant. Heritage Preservation Commission Meeting May 15, 2019 Page 3 of 3 City Planner Wittman stated that the applicant is requesting a permit to construct a two and a half story, one- family residence at XXX William Street North, a lot in the Neighborhood Conservation District. The proposed house will measure approximately 22’ wide by 48’ deep and will contain a 6’ deep front porch and an attached 24X32’ garage. A 12/6 gable will run parallel with the front lot line. It will contain a 10/12 pitch projection that will not rise to the primary gable. The front gable area will contain a 6’ porch with a 4/12 pitch roof. LP lap siding, to extend to the grade level, and aluminum soffit and fascia is proposed on all four sides; LP board and batten will be located on the front of the home, above the porch and on the garage, to add visual interest. Double hung windows are proposed for the front and sides of the home; the rear will have slightly wider windows. All windows and trim boards will be 1X4” LP Smart Siding. Asphalt shingles are proposed. Staff recommends approval with ten conditions. Paul Bruggeman offered to answer questions. Chair Mino opened the public hearing. Jean Heinrichs (no address given), who lives south of the vacant lot, expressed concerns about disruption that will be caused by construction and the amount of rotten and dead wood at the back of the lot drawing carpenter ants. Chair Mino closed the public hearing. Mr. Bruggeman stated the trees at the back of the lot are not desirable trees and they will be removed. Commissioner Finwall suggested adding a condition requiring removal of the dead trees along the lot line. Commissioner Larson suggested that the contractor ensure that the swale directs runoff as shown toward the street as opposed to the property to the south which sometimes is a concern with new construction. Commissioner Finwall said she likes the look of the structure, but the three car garage wider than the house is off-putting. She asked if the applicant considered stepping it back. Mr. Bruggeman replied he could step the garage back. Another idea is to jog the driveway back or put a window in the garage roof to break up the massing. Commissioner Larson remarked a window dormer centered over the double garage door would help. Commissioner Steinwall asked if the applicant considered side-loading the garage. Mr. Bruggeman responded side-loading the garage was considered but it would be too tight. Commissioner Larson stated the pattern of vertical versus horizontal does not follow all the way around the structure. He suggested the use of vertical board and batten on the garage to achieve four-sided design. Mr. Bruggeman said he could run the board and batten around the other two sides of the garage. Commissioner Finwall suggested adding a condition that the color of the house be consistent with the surrounding neighborhood. Motion by Commissioner Larson, seconded by Commissioner Walls, to approve Case No. 2019-11, a new infill residence for the property located on XXX Williams Street North, with the ten conditions recommended by staff, adding Condition #11 stating “The vertical board and batten shall be extended around all three sides of the garage” and Condition #12, “The vertical board and batten shall be added to the north and south façade gable above the window line” and Condition #13, “A proportional shed dormer shall be added onto the garage” and Condition #14, “The color of the home shall follow the spirit and intent of the Neighborhood Conservation District Design Guidelines.” All in favor, 6-0. NEW BUSINESS Case No. 2019-06: Consideration of a Site Alteration Permit for a master sign plan and exterior modifications for the property located at 123 2nd Street North in the Downtown Design Review district. Judd Sather, property owner and Sara Jespersen, applicant. Heritage Preservation Commission Meeting May 15, 2019 Page 4 of 3 Ms. Wittman stated the applicant is requesting approval of façade improvements and signage at 123 Second Street North, a contributing building in the Stillwater Commercial Historic District. The request includes: removal of the existing wooden bi-fold doors and replacement with a painted black wood and glass entry door system with gold accents; removal of the arches iron over the entrance and installation of it below the existing awning; installation of iron grates on the first floor windows on the north façade; installation of a 30’ diameter wooden sign above the new storefront entry. The sign will read “The Lumberjack Axe Throwing Bar” in burnt circle with corresponding sign plan; installation of a gas fireplace on the interior of the building, requiring an exterior vent on the east side facade; and installation of new mechanical equipment on the south side of the building in the existing patio area, screened to the west with a 10’ rockface wall and an 8’ chainlink fence. Staff finds the most of the proposed alterations are consistent with the guidelines and recommends approval of the wooden storefront, signage, decorative arched ironwork, awning repairs and painting, as well as all mechanical installations, with seven conditions. However, staff recommends denial of the installation of iron grates on a portion of the building’s windows. Councilmember Junker asked what is the purpose of the iron grates on the lower level. Reagan Nix, Blue Pencil Collective, replied the purpose is building security and protection of the windows. Commissioner Larson asked about the mechanical area, what is there now and what will be new. Judd Sather, applicant, replied the transformer is existing. The the generator will be removed from the interior of the building to the outside, in an enclosure. Councilmember Junker remarked that the alley looks bad. Restaurants on the east side of the alley need to cooperate as Mr. Sather does. There are plans to repave the alley but the City needs cooperation from business owners. Mr. Sather said he is looking at solutions to make the alley a little more walkable. Commissioner Finwall asked if there is an alternative to the grates on the windows for security. Mr. Sather said he is open to suggestions. The windows don’t currently have storm windows and it would be easy to break into the building. Commissioner Larson said adding storm windows would be one alternative. Motion by Commissioner Steinwall, seconded by Commissioner Larson, to approve Case No. 2019-06, site Alteration Permit for a master sign plan and exterior modifications for the property located at 123 2nd Street North, with the seven conditions recommended by staff. All in favor, 6-0. Case No. 2019-07: Consideration of a Site Alteration Permit for new siding and railings for the property located at 126 Main Street North in the Downtown Design Review District. Murray and Heidi McAllister, property owners. Ms. Wittman stated the applicants are requesting approval of façade improvements at 126 Main Street North, a contributing building in the Stillwater Commercial Historic District. The request includes: replace all north elevation doors with a two-paneled solid door painted dark bronze; back addition modifications to include repair and painting of stucco or replacement with bronze board and batten steel; construction of a new rooftop access, sided in bronze colored board and batten steel with French doors; installation of a black metal and steel cable roof railing system; and installation of glass block on a rear window. Staff finds the proposed alterations are consistent with the guidelines and recommends approval with three conditions. Heidi McAllister, applicant, stated there used to be three apartments in the building, now there will be two. Access doors on the north side have original transom windows in the arches which will be retained but the combination screen/storm doors that are all different will be replaced with a consistent style door. She requested feedback on how to improve the overall look of the building. The stucco is in relatively good shape but the paint is inconsistent in places. They may paint it a color more in keeping with the brick. Heritage Preservation Commission Meeting May 15, 2019 Page 5 of 3 Motion by Commissioner Steinwall, seconded by Commissioner Krakowski, to approve Case No. 2019-07, Site Alteration Permit for new siding and railings for the property located at 126 Main Street North, with the three conditions recommended by staff. All in favor, 6-0. Case No. 2019-10: Consideration of a Design Permit for store front remodel for the property located at 225 2nd Street North in the Downtown Design Review District. Ann Engstrum, property owner. Ms. Wittman stated the applicant is requesting approval of the storefront alteration of the structure located at 225 2nd Street North. The request includes: siding below each window with LP Smartside in mahogany lap; siding the columns on each side of the door, as well as above all windows and doors, with vertical LP Smartside in onyx; siding the corners with Versetta stone with the Mission Point color; restaining the building canopy and door to match the mahogany lap; replacement of flush-mounted under-canopy lights; and updating the existing signage. Staff recommends approval with two conditions. Ann Engstrum, applicant, said the new signage will be in the same location and the same size but a different look. This is a one-sided facelift because the building is surrounded by the Crosby hotel, parking ramp, and another building. They are doing the facelift because they have lost a lot of tenants and need curb appeal. She provided samples of the materials to be used. Councilmember Junker agreed the building needs a facelift. However the proposal looks very different from the other brick buildings. The wood siding gives it the feel of a rambler home. Ms. Engstrum said they are avoiding brick because they don’t want the building to look like it is part of the Crosby Hotel complex. Commissioner Larson remarked he appreciates the need to update the look of the building. The Design Guidelines point in the direction of relating to the context of other buildings, not doing something completely different. He finds this a struggle because this is a contemporary building. Everything else on the street is brick and stone except for the Rivertown Commons building. The wood siding feels out of place. Ms. Engstrum asked if the HPC would prefer board and batten like the building on Third Street which is the building she modeled this after. Commissioner Larson replied that the nichiha siding on the building on Third Street is not lapped and looks less residential. He suggested using a thin brick that adheres right to the wall with some stone accents. Commissioner Steinwall disagreed that the guidelines push a modern building to look old. She doesn’t feel the HPC is compelled to suggest this building be resided in thin brick. The guidelines advise that buildings should be recognized as products of their own time. Commissioner Larson agreed it should not be made to look old but brick is compatible with existing buildings. There are other materials that could make it compatible. Ms. Engstrum said she is opposed to all brick. She really wants a modern look to match the building style. Chair Mino recognized there is already a lot of brick on the street and this is a modern building. She likes the way it looks as proposed. Commissioner Finwall said she appreciates the applicant trying to dress it up, but a lot more could be done to celebrate the modern feel of the building, for instance making the door and windows more appealing. She suggested looking at metal siding. Ms. Engstrum replied she considered metal siding for where the vertical siding was going to go, but there was a problem with sizing because it was going to go above the windows. Commissioner Larson said vertical black under the windows would be better. He is concerned with how the materials turn corners. The edge should be finished at the corner rather than a sawed raw edge. He suggested using board and batten in a dark color, with the stone on the corners as proposed. Heritage Preservation Commission Meeting May 15, 2019 Page 6 of 3 Ms. Engstrum said she would be open to that. They originally wanted to use board and batten. The wood front fascia board needs to be repainted. The window trim on the north side would be painted onyx. The rest of the building needs to be repainted but they have not decided on a color. Motion by Commissioner Finwall, seconded by Commissioner Steinwall, to approve Case No. 2019-10, Design Permit for store front remodel for the property located at 225 2nd Street North, adding Condition #3, “All vertical mahogany LP siding shall be replaced with LP board and batten style siding in onyx” and Condition #4, “Fine design elements of the stone siding and siding trim shall be reviewed by staff” and Condition #5, “The sign plan shall be reviewed by staff.” All in favor, 6-0. OTHER DISCUSSION ITEMS HPC Ordinances and Design Guidelines In response to a previous question from Commissioner Larson, City Planner Wittman said if there is not a condition of approval specifically tied to an item, for instance color, then it is not enforceable. There was a question about lighting downtown. City Attorney Land said there are no specific lighting ordinances, only guidelines. A business had an awning that was approved by the Commission but the awning did not include lighting so Ms. Wittman advised the property owner they would have to either amend their permit or remove the lighting. The City has standards and guidelines. Guidelines “should” and standards “shall” be followed. FYI Annual Training Program Ms. Wittman requested the Commissioners attend a new training program for all Boards and Commissions members on Thursday, June 6, 2019, 6 p.m. in the Council Chambers presented by City Attorney Land. Washington County Historical Society Commission Representative Ms. Wittman stated the Washington County Historical Society (WCHS) named Matt Thueson as the WCHS representative to the HPC. He will join the Commission after he is appointed by the City Council. National Preservation Month Ms. Wittman reminded the Commission that Tuesday May 21, the Preservation Awards will be given at the City Council meeting. ADJOURNMENT Motion by Commissioner Steinwall, seconded by Commissioner Krakowski to adjourn. All in favor, 6-0. The meeting was adjourned at 10:03 p.m. Respectfully Submitted, Julie Kink, Recording Secretary HERITAGE PRESERVATION COMMISSION MEETING DATE: May 15, 2019 CASE NO.: 2019-09 APPLICANT: Jim Barton of Barton Construction Services representing Dan and Alison Boblit, property owners REQUEST: Demolition request for a pre-1945 garage located at 116 Harriet Street North ZONING: RB-Two Family COMP PLAN DISTRICT: Low/Medium Density Residential PREPARED BY: Abbi Jo Wittman, City Planner REQUEST AND STRUCTURAL CONDITIONS The applicant is requesting a demolition permit for the garage located at 116 Harriet Street North in order to have a modern three-car garage. Do to the location, the future garage will require a variance from the City’s Planning Commission. The (approximately) 900 square foot garage appears to be in the same configuration as the 1904 Sanborn Fire Insurance Map. Although the interior lumber is dimensional, several boards are stamped with “Gould LBR CO. Seattle, Wash”. There is a sag in the loft floor, a sistered cross beam, and the support poles are starting to rot. The exterior paint, determined to be lead, is peeling from the structure. PROPERTY HISTORY According to the Greeley Addition Historic Preservation Planning Area Report, the property was developed by David Swain, a machinist and builder of stream engines. The report indicates “Swai was one of the most affluent residents of the area. It 1884 his personal property was listed at $4,375.” The study included a Bird’s Eye View of the west north hill in 1879. Swain’s garage appears to be shown on the rendering. Street View (Google Images – August, 2013) 116 Harriet Street North HPC Case No. 2019-06 Page 2 The report further accounts Swain “built stream engines, many of which were used in the steamboats plying the river trade. Swain also constructed the steam engine used to swing the pontoon open on the first (1876) bridge across the St. Croix River at Stillwater”. It can be assumed Swain constructed steam engines in this structure. STAFF REVIEW On a March 18 site inspection by Building Official Cindy Shilts and I, the structure was determined to be in fair to good condition. The existing structure could be repaired. Based on the review of the property and associated records, staff made a determination that the property could potentially be locally designated because of one of the following: a) The character, interest or value as part of the development heritage or cultural characteristics of the city, state or county. b) The location as a site of a significant historic event. c) The identification with a person or persons who significantly contributed to the city's culture and development. d) The embodiment of distinguishing characteristics of an architectural style, period, form or treatment. e) The identification as work of an architect or master builder whose individual work has influenced the city's development. 116 Harriet Street North HPC Case No. 2019-06 Page 3 f) The embodiment of elements of architectural design, detail, materials or craftsmanship that represent a significant architectural innovation. g) The unique location or singular physical characteristic representing an established and familiar visual feature of a neighborhood, community or the city. Thus, as required by the demolition ordinance, the application is being forwarded to the HPC for review and consideration. APPLICABLE STANDARDS AND REGULATIONS Chapter 34, Building Demolition¸ of the municipal code outlines the community development director shall review the permit, conduct an on-site visit of the property with the applicant, make … determinations, and take the associated action. For a historic resource, the Commission must decide on one of the following: (i) Negative finding. If the commission finds that the property is not a historic resource, then the commission shall notify the building official that a demolition permit may be issued. (ii) Positive finding with no feasible alternative to demolition. If the commission finds that the property is historically significant or a historic resource, but that there is no feasible alternative to demolition, then the commission shall notify the building official that a demolition permit shall be issued. (iii) Positive finding with feasible alternative to demolition. If the commission finds that the property is historically significant or a historic resource, and that there is a feasible alternative to demolition, then the commission shall deny the demolition permit and direct the community development director to prepare a designation study of the property. Before approving the demolition of a building, the commission shall make findings that the demolition is necessary to correct an unsafe or dangerous condition on the property, or that there are no reasonable alternatives to the demolition. In determining whether reasonable alternatives exist, the commission shall consider, but not be limited to, the significance of the property, the integrity of the property and the economic value or usefulness of the existing structure, including its current use, costs of renovation and feasible alternative uses. The commission may require a mitigation plan as a condition of any approval for demolition of a building. Such plan may include the documentation of the property by measured drawings, photographic recording, historical research or other means appropriate to the significance of the property. With the approval of the city council, the commission may stay the release of the building, wrecking or demolition permit for up to 180 days as a condition of approval for a demolition of a building that has been found to contribute to a potential historic district to allow parties interested in preserving the historic resource a reasonable opportunity to act to protect it.

A April 23, 2019 design permit for partial demolition was issued for this property in 2015. After two long years, the full restoration of the house was completed. Throughout the project our design team demonstrated attention to acetic detail and devotion to preservation. This is best seen in the attached photos of before and after the renovat ion project. Now we'd like to extend that spirit to creating a garage that matches the modern function and historic beauty of the home. The existing garage has never matched the architectural integrity of the home; it is covered in failing lead paint and has degraded. The garage doors are mismatched, support beams are compromised, siding is beginning to rot, and joists are sagg i ng. We'd li ke to re-build and slightly expand the garage in a similar location and incorporate some of the architectural details of the home. There would be no encroachment on the existing set-backs; in fact, the proposed garage would be several feet farther from Rice Street than the existing structure. As shown in the design plan, the new garage matches the character and construction of the renovated home. Furthermore, the size proposed is consistent with a home of this scale and falls within the city's size limit of 1,000 square feet. The existing garage is 916 square feet and the proposed garage would be 994 square feet. The footprint would be less than that of the house and occupy less than 10% of the buildable lot. There are also circumstances unique to th is property wh ich warrant a variance request . The house is located on a corner lot. The current garage is situated on the corner of Harriet Street North and Rice Street West, with the house situated on the east side of the lot. The typical side-yard set-back of 3 feet becomes 30 feet due to the corner lot and house/garage locations. Neighborhoods of this era were not designed with current set-backs and we feel that maintaining existing set-backs will have no hindrance on traffic or sight-lines. The proposed garage set-backs are consistent, if not greater, than the surrounding neighbors. Though the address of our home i s Harriet Street North, the driveway ente rs onto Ri ce Street West. All the neighbors' garages on Rice Street have similar or smaller setbacks. There are no neighbors to the east, as the home is located on a dead-end and is the only home on the south side of Rice Street. There are 3 homes on the north side. Both the nearest neighbor to the north and to the south have three car garages, so the proposed structure is in line with the neighborhood and will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood. Building the garage as proposed will eliminate the need for on-street overnight parking as well as another accessory building on the property. Over the past several years we have invested time, effort, and money into our property, neighborhood, and community while preserving the h istorical detail and essence. With your permission we would like to complete this process by finishing the garage in a style that is worthy of the home and ne ighborhood. Sincerely, Property Owners 116 Harriet St N.

First, how many housing units did the community have? • We start with housing units measured by the 2010 Census, then add units built between 2010 and 2017, based on permits reported to us by communities. Permit data is available on our website (https://stats.metc.state.mn.us/data_download/DD_start.aspx ) o We assume that 95% of single-family detached units and 90% of townhome/duplex/triplex/quadplex units permitted in 2017 were completed and occupiable by April 1. 2018; the remainder are assumed to have been completed after that date and will count toward next year's estimates (for April 1, 2019). o Multifamily units permitted between 2010 and 2017 are assumed to be completed if they received a certificate of occupancy by April 1, 2018 The remaining units will count toward next year's estimates if they received a certificate of occupancy by April 1. 2019. According to our records, Stillwater permitted O multifamily units before 2017 that were not open by April 1. 2018, and permitted O units in 2017 that were not open by April 1, 2018. o Manufactured home data comes from our annual surveys of manufactured home park operators and local governments o Data on other housing (boats, RVs, etc. used as housing) comes from the most recent American Community Survey data: this· housing is included in the estimates only if occupied. • We also examine other housing stock changes reported by communities These include demolitions, building conversions (units added or lost), boundary changes (units annexed in or out), and other changes reported by city and township staff Housing stock Permitted and Other changes Housing stock April 1, 2010 built since 2010 since 2010 April 1, 2018 Single-family detached 5,086 252. 148 5,486 Townhome (Single-family attached) 915 51 0 966 Duplexltriplexlquadplex 571 0 0 571 Multifamily (5 or more units) 1,005 0 0 1,005 Accessory dwelling units (ADU) 0 0 0 0 ' Manufactured homes 0 0 Other units 0 0 Total 7,577 8,028 Second, how many of these housing units were occupied by households? • Each housing type has an estimated occupancy rate These data come from the most recent American Community Survey estimates for housing units and households, decennial census data from the US . Census Bureau, and the U.S Postal Service To estimate multifamily occupancy rates, we also use Costar, a proprietary data source covering the apartment market • Multiplying the number of housing units of each type by the occupancy rate yields the number of households (occupied housing units) Third, how many people lived in these occupied housing units? • Each housing type has an estimated average household size These data come from the most recent American Community Survey estimates of households and population in households as well as decennial census data from the U S. Census Bureau. • Multiplying the number of households in each housing type by the average household size yields the population in households Households Housing stock Occupancy (Occupied Persons per Population April 1, 2018 rate housing units) household in households Single-family detached 5,486 96.01% 5,267 2.724 14,349 Townhome (Single-family 966 96.10% 928 2.724 2,528 attached) Duplexltriplexlquadplex 571 92.45% 528 2.254 1,190 Multifamily (5 or more units) 1,005 94.62% 951 1.504 1,430 Accessory dwelling units (ADU) 0 94.62% 0 1.504 0 Manufactured homes 0 95.29% 0 1.000 0 Other units 0 N/A 0 2.009 0 Total 8,028 95.59% 7,674 2.541 19,497 To obtain the total population, we also add the number of residents in group quarters facilities. Thes_e are residences that are not part of the standard housing market, such as college dormitories. nursing homes, prisons and Jails, and group homes.
