Discus_si�n A subdivision for this site was previously reviewed by the planning commission at its meeting of October 10, 1949. Since that meeting, additional information regarding the location of wetlands on the site have been provided by the Soil and Water Conservation Services ( see attached letter) and a meeting was held with the developer, his surveyor, engineer, the city engineer and planning staff to discuss subdivision design, grading and drainage on the site and in the area. The new subdivision proposal has one less residential lot. A lot that was located west of the cul de sac (Outlot A) has been eliminated and the cul de sac access road moved closer to Boutwell Road. The moving of the road does two things; increase the size and ease of development of Lots 8, 9, 10 and 11 and results in filling a portion of the designated wetland. New Lots 8, 9, 10 and 11 would have more flat area for development. The new houses would be located further away from the slopped area and the existing Wildwood Pines 4th Addition. As was discussed in the previous planning review of October 10, 1994, Lots 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 will be setback 50 feet from Boutwell Road rather than the regular 30 foot setback to provide a turn -around because of traffic condition on Boutwell and to fit the house location on the site without requiring large amounts of fill. The floor elevations of the house are indicated to coordinate with the construction depth of the new sanitary sewer line in Boutwell Road. Joint access to lots 4 and 5 and lots 2 and 3 are provided to minimize driveway opening to Boutwell. Wetland Impacts As shown on the subdivision map, a portion of an existing wetland will be filled and new wetland created. As described in the letter from Tim Fredbo, Water Resource Specialist, the City of Stillwater is the local government unit (LGU) responsible for administering the Wetland Conservation Act. In order to allow the filling, all other feasible options to filling should be considered. It may be possible to reduce the width of the cul de sac adjacent to the wetland and move the road further back to the east to minimize wetland impact. The city's wetland review would be coordinated with corp of engineers 404 review to make sure the fill and mitigation has been properly reviewed and meets all city, state and federal requirements. The developer will have to provide to the city a detailed wetlands mitigation plan that will be reviewed under the wetlands conservation act requirements. The plan would show how the mitigation area would be created and vegetation established. The subdivision was reviewed by the parks and recreation commission for park dedication and they recommend an in lieu park fee according to the city park dedication policy. This subdivision had been referred to public works and water department and consulting engineer. Their comments are attached and incorporated in the staff review. f A detailed drainage/grading/erosion control plan is being prepared by the developer's engineer and is included with the plans. The plan considers site drainage and drainage in the surrounding drainage area. The project will require review by the Corp of Engineers and notification to the Environmental Quality Board (EQB) because of the wetland impact. No final approval will be given until those related approvals are obtained. The project as modified meets the lot size and dimensional requirements of the RA zoning regulations. A variance to the setback requirement for road location is a response to topography site conditions and pond location. The design of the road may be able to be modified in the area of the wetland to further minimize wetland impact. Recommendation Approval Conditions ofAp-provaI Drainage easement shall be provided on the subdivision plat according to the drainage plan. 2. Fifty foot front yard setbacks are required for Lots 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. Lots 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 may be located below Boutwell Road grade as long as gravity sanitary sewer service is provided to the sites. 4. A detailed grading/drainage/erosion control plan shall be provided and general site grading completed before final plat approval. Each lot shall require design review by the Community Development Department before building permits are issued. 6. A storm water management plan shall be prepared showing how 2, 10 and 100 year storm peak discharge rates will be maintained at pre -development levels. An in lieu park fee of 7 percent of the land value before final plat approval shall be paid to the city before final plat recording. 8. Driveways to lots 2 and 3 and 3 and 4 shall be combined with shared driveway easement. A condition shall be recorded on'the lots providing for the joint maintenance of the shared driveways. 9. Soil boring results shall be reviewed by the city engineer and building official before final plat approval. 10. No more than 50 percent of the tree canopy on any lot shall be removed due to construction. Trees on the westerly (rear lot line) shall be maintained to the maximum extent. 11. The previous planning commission approval of this subdivision shall be rescinded with this approval (Case No. SUB/94-53). 12. The wetlands impact and wetlands mitigation plan shall receive all necessary local, state and federal approvals before the final plat is recorded. Attachments Application and plans.

AND WATER CONSERVATION OISTRIGTS October 26, 1994 Mr. Bill Lecuyer 746 Wildwood Lane Stillwater, MN 55082 WASHINGTON SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT Re: Wetland Delineation, Wildwood Pines Sth Addition City of Stillwater D8ar Mr. Lecuyer; 1825 CUrv9 crest Blvd.. Rcom 101 SlilFwafer, MN W82 (612) 439.6361 As requested, I have completed my wetland delineation for the above referenced property for your use in obtaining project approvals. WETLAND DELINEATION Methodology Wetlands on this site were delineated in the field on October 18,1994 using the 1589 Federal Manual For Identifying And belineating Jurisdictional Wetlands. Wetland basins were also classified in the field in accordance with Wetlands of the United States (USFWS Circular 39). Wetland boundaries were physically flagged in the field. Delineation Results The subject property encompasses two wetland basins, they are indicated in red on the enclosed photo. Basin 1 is located along the north boundary of this site. This wetland is classified as a Type 2/3 wet meadow/shallow marsh area by the USFWS Circular 39, It is predominantly open water in the center, with a reed canarygraes and willow vegetated fringe. Basin 2 is located in the northwest quadrant of the intersection created by the existing driveway and Boutwell Road. This wetland is classified as a Type2/6 wet meadow/shrub swamp area. The main body of t:-_e wetland is dominated by reed canarygrass, while the pc_.rtion of the AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER wetland that extends to the west is dominated by woody wetland species such as boxelder, willow, and dogwood. RtGULATORY ANALYSIS Minnesota DNR Protected waters Jurisdiction Neither basin is classified as a DNR Protected Waters wetland, so no permits or DNR review will be required for this proposal. Corps of Engineers Section 404 Jurisdiction Both wetland basins fall within the jurisdiction of the u.s. Army Corps of Engineers under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. Any future impacts to these wetlands would require Corps of Engineers approval. It appears from the current subdivision plan, dated Sept. 1, 1994, that no wetland filling will occur_ on this plat. LGU Certification under the Wetland Conservation Act of 1991 The Wetland Conservation Act of 1991 (WCA) regulates the filling or draining of all wetlands in the state, except to the extent such activities are covered by one of the statutory exemptions in WCA. The -City of Stillwater is the designated Vocal Governmental Unit (LOU) in the area of this project, responsible for administering WCA, 7 hope that tl�i.s delineation report is of assistance in your planning and permitting activities fox the proposed project. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Sincerely, Tim Vredbo Water Resource Specialist Enclosure CC., 8ruCe Folz, Folz and Assoc.

As the Local Governmental Unit responsible for administering the Wetland Conservation Act, we need a mitigation plan for the wetland proposed to be impacted. Tim Fredbo of the Washington County Soil and Water Conservation District will be reviewing the mitigation plan along with our City Engineer. Please review the attached information which is the Wetland Conservation Act Rules, Chapter 8410. It describes the information which needs to be provided to the City along with the standards and procedures for evaluating wetland replacement plans. Also note page 48 of the manual which describes the minimum replacement ratio of 2:1 requiring two times the impacted area to be replaced. I have copied these areas for you and highlighted issues which may affect the subdivision. Once the City receives the mitigation plan, then we must proceed with. public notification to cities in the watershed and publication in the Environmental Quality Board Monitor. This process will take at least 60 days. If you have any questions, please contact Tim Fredbo at 439-6361. Thank you.

This proposed 11 lot plat is located on Boutwell Road, north of Myrtle Street. It is the last plat of the Wildwood Additions. The original concept plan for the drainage for the Wildwood Additions was prepared in 1983. The drainage report for the total development included several ponds with interconnecting pipes and overflow ,swates. The largest of the ponds, just north of Wildwood Court, was sized to handle the majority of the area included in this 5th Addition. This pond has an outlet into a storm sewer system constructed on Wildwood Court under the Wildwood Pines 3rd Addition. The 1983 study, however, did not include runoff from the northeast corner of the 5th Addition, the low area in the proposed Outlot A. The proposed drainage for the Wildwood Pines 5th Addition is shown on the Preliminary Grading Plan submitted by Bruce Folz and Associates. The grading plan proposes to have the houses fronting on Boutwell Road (Lots 1 through 6), lower then Boutwell, and provides for swales around the houses to direct the water to the large pond in the back yards. The front yards on the remaining lots (7 through 11) fzonting on the proposed street off Boutwell Road, drain to the street, then along the street to catch basins. The catch basins are then proposed to outlet into a pond located in Outlot A of the plat. The back half of Lots 7 through 11 drains easterly to a drainage swale between the 4th Addition and the proposed 5th Addition. The pond in Outlot A is proposed to outlet through a storm sewer system into the large pond north of Wildwood Court. The proposed pond in Outlot A is to be constructed as a mitigation to filling part of the existing wetland. The partial filling of this wetland is required to construct the road and proper roadway slopes- The proposed pond will need to be sized to restrict runoff from the development to pre - development rates, as well as to meet the current Nationwide Urban Runoff Program (NURP) requirements. The NURP regulations require a pond to control construction sediment, provide for water duality treatment and control pust development sediment such a6 street sandin6. SHoar ELL1077 HENDRICKSON INC.

Sincerely, Tracey A. owitz TAG:vg Enclosure CC: Mr. and Mrs. Peterson PLANNING APPLICATION REVIEW Case No. SUP/94-61 Design Review: November 7, 1994 Project Location: South side of Curve Crest Blvd west of Washington Street Zoning District: Business Park Applicant's Name: Kellison Company Type of Application: Special Use, Variance, Design Review Protect Description The project is a 6,050 square foot retail use (liquor Store) on a 45,552 square foot site. The site covers one full lot and most of a second lot leaving 19' x 220' 4,180 square foot area of the second lot, outside of the site plan. Either the entire two lots must be included in the development site and combined together as a recording condition of approval or a minor land division will have to be approved removing the middle property line. The site plan shows the one story building on the center of the site with parking located on the north (street) and east side of the building. Thirty-five parking spaces are provided, 30 spaces are required according to the parking regulations. Besides the immediate project an area along the east side of the site. A future parking lot and an area on the west side of the building is shown as a building expansion area. Neither of these areas are covered by this review. The future parking area is not consistent with the design requirements regarding landscaping. As a condition of this review, a 10-foot side yard area (where the future parking is shown) would have to be landscaped with street trees (marshall seedless ash). The front 20-foot setback area is bermed and landscaped to screen the parking area from the street and present a pleasing view of the site. The landscape plan indicates a variety of deciduous and ornament trees and bushes. The ground cover is grass. At a minimum, sod should be used in the front setback area. A field row of mature oak trees are located on the western edge of the site. Precautions during site grading should be taken to protect the roots zone in the drip line of the oak trees. Landscaping along the most apparent north and east elevation of the building will provide a base for the building and accent the entryway. The building is one-story structure with pitched roof. A utility area is hidden columns behind the roof pitch. The building material is primarily brick with block foundation and aluminum windows. The building entryway is oriented to the northeast or drive entrance with parking to the left and right. A trash area is shown on the site plan without detail. The materials for the enclosure should match building materials. Two signs area proposed. A 6' tall, Tx 3' freestanding sign and a sign in the entryway gable. The signs are low profile in line with the design of the structure although only one sign is allowed by the sign ordinance. The rear loading area appears to run along the rear property line. A 5 foot landscaped area should separate the drive from the rear property boundary. No lighting, grading, drainage, erosion control plans were submitted with the application.. The site is relatively flat requiring minimum regrading. Recommendation Design Review: A 5 foot landscaped area shall be planted along the rear property boundary. 1. The front setback ground cover area shall be sodded. A lighting plan according to the design guidelines shall be submitted and approved before building permits are issued. 4. A 10-foot east sideyard landscaped area shall be provided planted with sod and Ash trees. Construction material shall be provided for trash enclosure consistent with building materials. 6. The color of the concrete block face and soffits on the west and rear facade shall be consistent with the whole building. Other Conditions: 7. A drainage, grading, erosion control plan shall be prepared and approved before building permits area issued. 8. The drip line of the Oak trees on the west side of the site shall be protected from disruption during grading and construction. 9.

DISCUSSION: The request is to add an outside storage area and place a new facade on an existing structure in the Industrial Park. Presently, the building is concrete block and is in need of major repairs. The outside storage area fence will be of a metal material with a type of mesh material to make the fence opaque. It will be six feet in height with a 2 ft. barbed wire top. This is appropriate fencing for industrial areas. The facade of the building will be faced in brick with stone edging. A gabled roof will be added. The applicant has not indicated if the sides of the building will also be a brick material. The signage in the proposal includes a wall sign. The existing pylon sign will have to be removed because only one sign is allowed. The parking lot needs to be resurfaced and curbing around the perimeter of the site should be constructed to replace the temporary curb stops which are in disrepair. CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL: 1. No additional signage is allowed. 2. Curbing shall be put in around the perimeter of the site which meets City standards. 3. The east side of the building shall have a brick facade. The rear and the west side shall be of a brick color. 4. Lighting on the site will consist of uplighting the building. A lighting plan shall be submitted for staff review. 5.

To fully evaluate the project additional information should be submitted by the applicant. • The plan shows a lot of hard surface that will result in runoff that will impact the pond. • Need more information to evaluate the effect of piping Lily Lake School drainage to pond as well as development runoff. • 'lhe road could be moved fi.uther away from the wetland at the north end to save trees and buffer wetlands. This would result in loss of one lot. • Should use standard 42.5 foot cul de sac (this would result in probable loss of one lot at south end). • A runoff settling basin should be provided to catch sediment before it enters the pond. • A 24 toot roadway surface may be appropriate.. • The sidewalk from Lily Lake School and school drainage improvements should be coordinated with the school district. • Width of driveways may be able to be reduced to reduce hard surface and runoff impact_ In conclusion, a stormwater drainage plan and revision to the road design should be considered further before preliminary' subdivision approval.

A Washington County Utility Permit must be obtained for all work within County right of way. 3. Road plans, including cross sections, must be submitted to the County for approval. i 4. The connection of the access to CSAH 5 must be at a 90 degree angle. 5. The developer must construct a right turn lane to serve the development. This must be constructed according to the specifications of the Minnesota Department of Transportation and as follows: The turn lane shall be 150 feet long by 14 feet wide with a 15:1 taper at the south end: The length of the turn lane may be adjusted by the County based on the internal street design and traffic factors. It shall be constructed with a 6" thick Class 5 aggregate base, a 2" Type 31 Bituminous base course, a 2" thick Type 31 Bituminous binder course, and a 2" thick Type 41 Bituminous wearing course. Where necessary, the existing curb and gutter must be removed and new B-624lcurb and gutter installed to match the existing curb. 6. In conjunction with turn lane construction, the developer must modify the storm sewer system to accommodate the width added to the roadway by the turn lane and the stormwater added to the system by this development. Any changes to the wetland must be approved by the City of Stillwater. Computations showing the Printed on Recycled Paper EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY I AFFIRMATIVE ACTION Page two Letter to Steve Russell November 8, 1994 runoff volumes must be submitted to Washington County and the Stillwater City Engineer for approval prior to permit approval. 7. All modifications to CSAH 5 must be completed prior to final paving of S.A.P. 82-605-10, the current construction project on CSAH 5. This work is scheduled for late May, 1995, Washington County can construct the turn lane and storm sewer revisions as a supplement to the contract for S.A.P. 82-605,-10, if it is acceptable to the contractor on the job.

MEMORANDUM TO: Planning Commission FR: Steve Russell, Community Development Director DA: November 9, 1994 V� RE: COMP PLAN INFO The attached is the results from the Stillwater City/ Stillwater Township joint task force meeting over the past 6 months. This information will be used to develop the final city comprehensive plan along with information from the ward network. Work Continues on Comprehensive Plan Update Since the June 6 public meeting on the alternative comprehensive plans, three neighborhood meetings and six ward meetings have been held to get community input on the plan alternatives and key issues facing the neighborhoods and city in the future. Through the neighborhood and ward meetings, over 200 community residents have had the opportunity to learn about the comprehensive plan and comment on the most important issues facing the city in the future. A community -wide ward meeting was held Saturday, October 29, 1994, at the Stillwater Senior High, 8:30 am - noon to review plan alternatives and provide additional comments and recommendations regarding the comprehensive plan. The results of that meeting will be presented to the council at their regular meeting of November 15, 1994. Since April, a joint task force made up of Stillwater township board and planning commission members and Stillwater city council and planning commission members have been meeting to identify areas of common planning concern and develop a joint plan for vacant lands that could accommodate city growth in the Stillwater township area that is supported by the join task force. The results of the joint task force meetings will be presented to the city in November along with the ward input. During November, the planning commission will consider the recommendations from the ward meetings and make a recommendation to the city council regarding the preferred comprehensive plan. The city council will consider the planning commission recommendations and direct the preparation of the final comprehensive plan. After the final plan is prepared, public hearings will be held by the planning commission and city council.

RESULTS FROM STILLWATER/STILLWATER TOWNSHIP JOINT TASK FORCE -MEETINGS Guideposts for Joint Planning The following policies and principles were discussed and considered by the joint task force as planning guideposts for cooperation between the city and township. The guideposts are the result of six -months of meetings and discussion and reflects a consensus of direction, although neither the City of Stillwater nor Stillwater Township have officially endorse the statements. Overall Planning Determine the desired growth rate and phasing of urban services to accommodate planned for growth as needed for the urban -rural transition planning area (URTPA) for the 25-year planning period 1995 - 2020. NOTE: The urban -rural transition planning area (URTPA) is the area west of Stillwater currently in Stillwater Township bordered by Dellwood Road (TH 96), on the north, Manning Avenue (CR 15) on the west and Highway 36 on the south. This area represents the ultimate future planning area for the City of Stillwater. New Growth Create new neighborhoods in city growth areas that retain Stillwater's small town identity, appearance and character. New residential development areas should include desirable design elements from existing city neighborhoods including a mix of housing types, landscaped streets, accessible neighborhood parks and open space areas and a unique neighborhood images. Preserve historic resources and unique land forms in growth area to maintain elements of the areas past and provide and identity to new development. New development shall protect and preserve natural areas as public resources. Natural areas include wetlands, woodlands, windbreaks and sloped areas. Natural drainage systems shall be used in new development areas to promote the recharge of water tables, reduce the speed and amount of run off and create natural areas of visual relief that may be used for trail locations. Develop an overall trail system for the URTPA areas that connects new residential development areas to existing and proposed trials on McKusick Road, Myrtle street and County Road 5 and connects all residential areas in the URTPA from Dellwood Road to 62nd Street. Views from public roads of new development in the URTPA shall be screened by existing vegetation and land form, new landscaping, wetlands and greenways. Public roads include Dellwood Road, Manning Avenue, McKusick Road and Boutwell Avenue. Use new development concepts, where appropriate, such as mixed use development and cluster housing, to provide life cycle housing opportunities, minimize the need for and use of the automobile and maintain open space. ` Require new development to provide 10 percent of the development residential land area or its equivalent for neighborhood (7 percent) and community parks (3 percent). Try to locate within the planning area an elementary school site, 10 acres, and community- park, 25 acres. Any new nonresidential development shall be buffered from all adjacent residential uses, connected by trails to residential areas and appear visually subdued in a landscaped setting as viewed from public roads. Design new subdivisions to minimize through traffic and when necessary design neighborhood collector streets with special setbacks, landscaping and pedestrian and bike trails. Rural Growth Use ghost platting and cluster development to allow some initial growth with the opportunity for urban density development in the futurc whcn dcsired and planned. Establish lot size and other development standards for the URTPA areas in the township that accommodate future urban development according to the Stillwater comprehensive plan. Implementation Develop special design guidelines and performance standards using the planned unit development process to implement visual screening, park, open space and trailway and natural resource policies. Require a detailed environmental assessment of physical site conditions including plant and animal communities, topography, soil, drainage and wetlands before land development planning begins. Coordination and Cooperation 2 .. I Coordinate planning between the City of Stillwater and -Stillwater Township so both city and township plans for the URTPA are consistent. Use orderly annexation agreements and municipal urban service area extension agreements to coordinate and implement comprehensive plan growth phasing policy. Key Planning Concepts for URTPA The following key planning concepts provide direction for the preparation of the comprehensive plan. The concepts will be a part of the comprehensive plan for the city and township and shall ;. be used to guide special area planning. Greenways Greenways shall be established along Manning Ave, Dellwood Blvd, Myrtle Street, McKusick Road and Boutwell Drive. The greenways shall be 100 - 200 feet in width depending on the location and site conditions. The purpose of the greenway is primarily to preserve the natural semi -rural character of the transition area by screening new development from major public roads. The greenway shall appear informal and natural using native indigenous plant material adapted to existing topographic conditions. Enhancement of existing topographic or vegetative conditions is encouraged to the extent the enhancement appears natural. Wetland mitigation sites may be used as part of the greenway. Pathways may be located along side or in the greenway but not appear as a primary design element of the greenway. The green way will provide a landscape separation between newly developing residential areas and high volume traffic corridors. Trailways, Parks and Open Space Areas Trailways, neighborhood and community park and open space areas will be provided throughout the URTPA. The extensive Brown's Creek Wetland systems shall provide the framework for park and open space resources preservation in the north portion of the transition area. Long Lake and existing woodlands and windbreaks shall be used in the southern portion of the site for trail locations. An overall system of trails connecting new neighborhoods from Dellwood Blvd to 62nd Streets shall be planned along wetlands, new natural drainage ways and wooded areas. Within neighborhoods pathways shall conveniently connect residents to neighborhood park and open space areas separated from auto traffic. Any active community park, convenience commercial use or school site shall be clearly connected to surrounding residential areas by walkways and bike paths. Development Pattern and Density The overall character of the transition areas shall be single family with selected locations of compact clustered attached housing. The existing semi -rural character of the areas north of McKusick Road (Random Creek) and south of Boutwell (Spring Creek) shall remain with some 3 in fill at rural densities - Newly Newl developcd areas shall be large lot ( 1 to 1.5 dwelling units per acres DU/Acre), small lot (2 to 3 DUTAcrc) or higher density attached housing at 4 6 DU/Acre Lar e lot in le famil areas are located in areas of of site disnsitive ruption #ion icause of s limited.

They suggested that a moratorium be placed on development in ravines but that the idea be referred to the planning commission for comment. I have attached the memo to council and the ordinance regulating development adjacent to ravines previously considered by the commission. A comprehensive ravine study will be completed over the next year. MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Council FR: Planning Commission DA: October 28, 1994 RE: CONDITION OF CITY RAVINES The Stillwater Planning Commission recently reviewed a request to fill a portion of a ravine. At the meeting, concerns expressed by the applicant and surrounding neighbors is the condition of the ravine and where a storm sewer line outlet is located a responsibility of the city and should the city be inventorying the condition of ravines and establishing a policy regarding their care and management. The Planning Commission continued indefinitely the applicants request to fill the ravine and directed staff to prepare a memo requesting that the council seriously consider the ravine issue and staff review the condition of all ravines in Stillwater and prepare a Comprehensive Ravine Management Program. r water THE jBIRTH�PLACE OF M I N N E S 0 T A MEMORANDUM TO: CHAIRMAN AND PLANNING COMMISSION FROM: STEVE RUSSELL, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR DATE: MAY 7, 1993 SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF POSSIBLE REGULATIONS LIMITING AND REQUIREMENT SETBACK FOR STEEPLY SLOPED AREAS. Background: Lass year the Community Development Department prepared a Stillwater St. Croix River View Study in conjunction with the Department of Natural Resources. The study identified issues and actions the City could take to minimize view and environmental impacts. Later last year, community residents approached the City regarding the protection of ravines.�(See attached memo.) The Planning Colzimission reviewed the View Study and discussed the ravine issues, and changes to City requirements to protect views and ravines. The Draft Conservation Regulation would protect slopes of greater than 30% 1:3 foot slope by eliminating development on them and requiring a 20 foot setback.
