Time: 7:00 p.m.
Members Present: Gerald Fontaine, Chairman
Angela Anderson, Glenna Bealka, Duane Elliott,
Rob Hamlin, Don Valsvik, and Darwin Wald

Absent: Gene Bealka and Gary Funke
APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Motion by Duane Elliott, seconded by Glenna Bealka to approve the
minutes of July 13, 1992, as submitted. All in favor.
PUBLIC HEARINGS
Case No. V/92-37 - A Variance to the sideyard setback
requirements on a corner lot (twenty feet minimum required,
approximately ten feet requested) and to rearyard setback
requirements (two feet, six inches requested, five feet required)
for the construction of a garage. The property is located at 126
North Harriet Street in the RB, Two Family Residential District.
John and Barbara Bjorkman, owners of the property, presented the
request. They noted that the correct length of the proposed
garage is 26 feet rather than 28, which would place the garage 12
feet from the side property line rather than iD feet. The garage
will be placed three feet from the rear property line because the
neighbor's garage is directly on the property line and the eaves
hang over ❑nto the Biorkman property.
There are three recommended conditions of approval. Duane
Elliott noted that Cond. No. 1 should specify the WEST wall as
the rear wall. Cond. No. 3 should read: All drainage from the
structure shall discharge onto Rice Street.
Motion by Duane Elliott to approve the Variance request with
three conditions as amended. Seconded by Darwin Wald. All in
favor.
Case No. V/92-.G - A Variance to the frontyard setback
requirements for an existsing carport (thirty feet required,
twenty four feet requested) at 1107 North Martha Street in the
RB, Two Family Residential District.
Helen Murtha, owner, presented the request. She stated that the
attached garage was converted into a family room. The two -car
1
Stillwater Planning Commission
August 10, 1992
garage at the rear of the property is used only for storage
because the length of the driveway makes the garage useless in
the winter. The applicant stated that the carport is 26 feet from
the curb, but she does not know where the property line is.
Mr. Elliott stated that it would be difficult to take any action
without knowing the proper measurements. The Commission agreed.
Motion by Rob Hamlin, seconded by Don Valsvik to continue Case
No. V/92-38 to the September meeting in order for the applicant
to verify where the front property line is. All in favor.
Case No.�V/92-39 - A Variance to the sideyard setback require-
ments (twenty feet required, ten feet requested) for a 390 square
foot addition to an existing structure at 102 North Third Street
in the PA, Public Administrative Office District.
Jim Christenson of the Postal Service real estate office,
presented the request. The plan, is to provide additional
restroom capacity. The existing hedge will be replaced and the
trash container will be enclosed.
There was discussion of vehicles exiting onto Myrtle Street from
the parking lot, and of the collection boxes on Myrtle Street.
Motion by Rob Hamlin, seconded by Glenna bealka to approve the
Variance request with two conditons. All in favor.
Case No. V/9'-4(-) - A Variance to the sideyard setback requirement
for a garage and family room addition for a corner lot (thirty
feet required, twenty feet proposed) at 2496 Hidden Valley Lane
in the RA, Single Family Residential District.
Larry and Sandra Krause, owners, presented the application. Mr.
Krause stated that the covenants for the neighborhood allow 20
foot setbacks. Steve Russell stated that City zoning regulations
still apply and are more restrictive. In the RA District, a 30
foot setback is required.
The Krauses stated that the corner lot is probably larger than
most lots in Croixwood and asked what damage would be done by
allowing the variance. Rob Hamlin stated that the City has
established rules, and that variances in Croixwood are more
difficult because of the consistency of the setbacks. Also, a
hardship has not been proven in this case.
Mrs. Krause stated that the addition to the home would result in
an increase in property value, and that would be prevented by a
lack of a variance. Mr. Krause stated that the addition is
planned for the only logical space. A detached structure would
take up garden space. He said that the neighborhood is maturing
and needs to change.
Stillwater Planning Commission
August 10, 1992
Mr. Elliott questioned why the garage could not be oriented to
Sunrise Avenue.
Motion by Duane Elliot to deny the Variance request. Seconded by
Angela Anderson. All in favor.
Case No. SUP/92-41 - A Special Use Permit to conduct special
events (small weddings, receptions, meetings, etc.) in a
residential structure presently used as a Bed and Breakfast
establishment. The home is located at 319 West Pine Street in
the RB, Two Family Residential District.
Bruce and Victoria Brillhart, owners, presented the.application.
They stated that the home is very large and can accomodate these
special events. They have agreements with St. Mary's Church to
provide parking and with the Rivertown Trolley to provide parking
and transportation for their patrons if necessary.
Jeff Peterson, 320 W. Pine, stated that he lives with his
grandmother, Mrs. Jewell, across from the Bed and Breakfast and
has some concerns regarding parking and traffic on Pine Street.
He is also concerned about distrupting activities and
commercialization in a residential area, about alcohol use at the
events, and about property values. He stated that the B&B use is
a minimal activity, but this request is for a commercial
activity. The Brillharts stated that they have always been
responsible t❑ the neighborhood and will continue to be.
There are 14 recommended conditions of approval. Mr. Brillhart
asked that condition No. 12 be amended to read Bruce OR Victoria
will be on site during all special events. Cond. No. 9 was also
changed to read: No amplified music or entertainment' shall be
allowed.
Motion by Glenna Bealka to approve the Special Use Permit with 14
conditions as amended. Seconded by Darwin Wald. Discussion:
Chairman Fontaine questioned the basis on which this request is
being approved, in order to avoid setting a precedent. Mr.
Russell stated that the site can accomodate the use, parking is
not a problem, and the use fits the situation. Also, the B&B
license is unique to its owners. The vote was taken: All in
favor.
Case No. SLR'/92-42 - A Special Use Permit to conduct a Beauty
Salon business in a residential structure at 643 Wildwood Lane in
the RA, Single Family Residential District.
Linda Reichow, owner, presented the application. She stated that
her business will be very small; probably one day per week to
start. Her business will grow by word of mouth only. She will
have no employees. She will have a state license and will abide
by state law requirements, including malpractice insurance.
Stillwater Planning Commission
August 10, 1992
There are three recommended conditions of approval. A fourth
conditions was suggested: A 12-month review of the permit.
Motion by Duane Elliott, seconded by Darwin Wald to approve the
Special Use Permit with four conditions. All in favor.
Case No. V/92-43 - A Variance t❑ the rearyard setback: require-
ments (five feet required, approx. one foot proposed) and to the
sideyard setback requirements (five feet required, approx. one
foot proposed) for the construction of a 576 square foot garage
on an existing foundation. The property is located at 719 South
Third Street in the Rb, Two Family Residential District.
Mr. and Mrs. William A. Bentzin, owners, presented the
application. They plan to use the existing foundation to build a
two -car garage in the same architectural style as the home. They
also plan on eventually adding a Victorian porch on the back of
the home. The neighbor to the immediate north approves of the
plan.
The Chairman questioned how the garage will be maintained when
it is so close to the property line. It was also questioned
whether a hardship was shown. Mr. Hamlin suggested the owners
prepare a scale drawing to show why the garage would fit in only
this location.
Motion by Duane Elliott to deny the variance request based upon
there being no hardship shown. Seconded by Glenna Bealka. Motion
failed 3-4.
Motion by Rob Hamlin to approve the variance request with two
conditions. Seconded by Don Valsvik. Motion carried 4-1 (A.
Anderson, D. Elliott, G. Fontaine opposed).

approval of the Forest Protection Ordinance. All in favor.

Stillwater Planning Commission
August 10, 1992
Duane Hubbs stated that there is an intensification of the B&B
use locally. He feels the function of the ordinance should be to
preserve and maintain historic homes. The numbers of rooms
should be based on the size of the home. Chuck Dougherty stated
that health permits, insurance, and fire inspections should be
part of the ordinance.
Mr. Russell suggested that the Historic Preservation Commission
be asked to look at the current ordinance to see how their
purposes can be achieved through the ordinance.
Duane Hubbs suggested that a group be established consisting of
people from the Planning Commission, HPC, and B&B owners to look
at the issues and make recommendations.
Motion by Rob Hamlin to form a study committee comprised of HPC,
B&B owners, Planning Commission, and City staff. Seconded by
Darwin Wald. All in favor.
Angela and Darwin from the Planning Commission, and Duane, Chuck,
and Bruce from the B&B owners, volunteered as committee members.
Motion by Rob Hamlin, seconded by Don Valsvik to adjourn the
meeting at 9:55 p.m. All in favor.

PLANNING APPLICATION REVIEW
CASE NO. V/92-38
Planning Commission Meeting: August 10, 1992
Project Location: 1107 North Martha Street
Comprehensive Plan District: Two Family
Zoning District: RB
Applicant's Name: Helen M. Murtha
Type of Application: Variance.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
A variance to the frontyard setback requirements for a carport (thirty feet
required, twenty four feet requested).
DISCUSSION:
The request is to secure a variance for a carport constructed without a
building permit. The carport as it now stands is approximately twenty four
feet from Martha Street. The location of the lot line has not been determined.
However, even with an easement area as part of the setback area, a variance
would still be needed.
The applicant does have a single car garage. The carport does not seem to be
necessary for security or weather protection. It has a plastic roof with
lattice work and wood supports. It does not match in color or architectural
features with the home.
RECOMMENDATIO_N_:
Denial.
FINDINGS:
The proposed variance is not necessary for the reasonable use of the property
and driveway.

PLANNING _APPLICATION REVIEW
CASE NO V192-44
Planning Commission Meeting: September 14, 1992
Project location: 1943 - 1953 Eastridge Court
Zoning District: RB, Two Family Residential
Applicant's Name: Glen Rose
Type of Application: Variance
Project Description:
A Variance to the sideyard setback requirement (8.32 ft. requested, 10 feet
required) and to the rearyard setback requirement (15.35 feet requested, 25
feet required) for the construction of a duplex.
nTgrllgSTnN
The request is to construct two single family dwellings with a zero sideyard
setback. This type of development was proposed for this area. The sideyard
setback on lot 17 is 8.32 feet. This is reasonable in order to develop both
units on the two lots.
The rearyard setback for both units is proposed to be 15.36 feet on lot 16 to
16 feet on lot 17. The setback for this district is 25 feet. The setback may
set a precedence for development on adjacent lots which decreases the open
space and creates rearyard which are not uniform. The development was also
platted as a PUD and the setbacks were determined based on the RB, Two Family
Residential Zoning District. The applicant has not given a specific hardship
for this variance to the rearyard.
RECOMMENDATION:
Denial for rearyard setback. Approval for sideyard setback.
FINDINGS:
The granting of this variance to the rearyard is not necessary for the
reasonable use of the land in this development according to the land use
designation and zoning. The granting of the variance to the sideyard is
necessary for the reasonable use of the land and buildings in this
development.

Planning Commission Meeting: September 14, 1992
Project Location: 402 South Main Street
Zoning District: Central Business District, CBD.
Applicant's Name: Sondra Gozzi
Type of Application: Variance and Design Review
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Design Review and Variance for the placement of three (3) signs for a business
in the rear of a structure at 402 South Main Street.
DISCUSSION:
Tile request is to place three (3) signs at the Vittorio's site for a business
in the rear of the structure. The total square footage of all three signs will
be 24.34 square feet. Two of the signs will face Main Street and one sign will
face Nelson Street as shown on the site plan. The business is in the rear of
the site so it may be difficult to find without the signage proposed.
The Heritage Preservation Commission reviewed the proposal at their meeting of
September 10, 1992. Another painted sign on a post was identified as an
additional sign. This is located at the top of the Main Street stairs. It was
asked to be removed as part of this proposal.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL:
1. The temporary Ice Cream Float Banner on Main Street shall be removed.
2. No additional signage is allowed.
3. The white painted sign shall be removed.

PLANNING APPLICATION REVIEW
CASE NO. V/92-47
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING: September 14, 1992
Project Location: At the end of North Fourth Street between Poplar and Hazel
Streets. (North of Stillwater Country Club)
Comprehensive Plan District: Residential
Zoning District: RA, Single Family Residential
Applicant's Name: George and Kathleen Middleton
Type of Application: Variance
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
A Variance to-frontyard setback requirements for construction of a single
family residence.
DISCUSSION:
The request before the Commission is to construct a single family residence on
a 1.3 acre site located north of Poplar off the end of North Fourth Street (to
find the site, go to the Northeast corner of Stillwater County Club - Poplar
and Second Streets, then turn west. Go to Fourth, turn north to right, go to
end of paved street). The site has irregular topography and is difficult to
access. The building site proposed by the owner is only two feet away from the
Fourth Street right-of-way but takes advantage of Fourth Street for road and
driveway access. The site plan shows a paved driveway area in the street
right-of-way in front of the garage. The driveway off of Fourth Street should
be paved to reduce the possibility of erosion and for ease of maintenance. The
site is unique because of its topography, shape and lack of improved access.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL:
1. A drainage plan shall be submitted with the building permit for
Community Development Director's review.
2. The driveway off of Fourth Street shall be paved and maintained by the
property owner.
3. A permit to use North Fourth Street for driveway access shall be
obtained from the City before a building permit is issued.
4. The City Council shall review and approve an on -site septic permit
before building permits are issued.

I am writing to request Planning Commission and City Council
approval on three issues necessary to clear the way for a
building permit for a single family dwelling on lots 5 and 6,
Block 46, Carli and Schulenburg's Addition to Stillwater. The
three issues are:
1.) Request for an on site septic system
2.) Permission to use a portion of vacant 4th Street right
of way for driveway.
3.) Request zero front lot set back.
Attached you will find copies of the Percolation Data Sheet, a
plan showing the proposed septic tank and drain field, and a
written analysis from Dale Eklin.
Our plan proposes ingress from 4th Street rather than the
Schulenburg Park access road. To accomplish this, we will need
city approval to use a portion of the vacant 4th Street right of
way for a drive. Attached is a plan that reflects the proposed
drive in relation to existing road bed and adjacent property
lines.
The site grade and elevations pose a difficult design challenge
in terms of site access. The elevation drops sharply from 4th
Street to the east.
The optimum building location puts the front edge of the garage
within two feet of the lot line. Asthetically this should not
pose a community or neighborhood problem, since the existing
bituminous road ends 42 feet from our proposed garage; the street
is a dead end, and the two existing homes on the west side of the
street encroach well within the 30 foot setback requirement.
As part of this request, I also ask that we be allowed to remove
an abandoned foundation that straddles my western property line,
lying half on my property, and half on the 4th Street right of
way (see attached plan).
Thank you for your consideration

March 25, 1991
Dear Norm,
At your request, on March 24, 1991, soil borings and percolation tests were
performed at the south z of Lot 2, Lots 4, 5 & 6, Carli and Schulenburgs
Addition, Stillwater, Minnesota.
Soil borings indicate that a three foot separation from the bottom of the
drainfield trench to water table is possible. There was a percolation
rate of 21 and 30 MPI.
Due to the steep slope and wooded site, I am recommending the gravel -less
leach bed pipe drainfield system. The 18" wide trenches will disturb less
area and keep the erosion down. Cover should be established over the
drainfield trenches as soon as possible. Erosion control must be installed
as soon as the system is completed. Erosion control netting could be used
over the disturbed areas. See suggested literature.
For a three bedroom home, a 1500 gallon septic tank will be needed. 1200
square feet of drainfield is recommended. The drainfield will consist of
eight runs, 18" wide, 24" to 30" deep and approximately 50 feet long. The
pipe diameter should be 10". See literature. If the home has more bedrooms,
add 250 square feet of drainfield for each additional bedroom. In cases
where homes are more than 3000 square feet, the drainfield and tank design
may have to be increased in size.
See the attached papers for suggested design and boring and percolation logs.
DURING CONSTRUCTION IT IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP ALL TRAFFIC OFF OF THE DRAIN -
FIELD AREA SO THE GROUND WILL NOT BECOME COMPACTED. YOU SHOULD FENCE OR
FLAG OFF THE TESTED AREA BEFORE ANY EXCAVATION IS DONE ON THE SITE.
Low flush toilets and restricted shower heads would cut your water usage
down. If a water softener is installed, it can drain directly to the
wetlands or a low spot on the lot as this contains no harmful chemicals
and it is legal. These recommendations are a very good practice to
follow on all septic systems, whether they be mounds or the conventional
trench systems. If hot tubs or over sized bath tubs are used, it would
be advisable to enlarge the drainfield.
continued .........
M.P.C.A. Certification #695 — Soil Tester — Site Evaluator — Inspector
It is important to maintain your septic system by pumping the septic tank
periodically. The size of the family will determine how often this has
to be done. If the septic tank is not pumped when needed, sludge can
build up and work over into the drainfield and cause the field to stop up.
Never hook basement footing drains to your septic system. Always try to
conserve on wdter use.
During winter months it is also very important to keep all traffic off of
the drainfield area; snowmobiles, skiing, sliding, etc. If snow becomes
compacted it could cause your drainfield to freeze up.
This report does not mean that you have a permit to install the job. Your
local inspector will have to first approve the suggested design and logs.
In some cases other agencies may require a permit. Your local authorities
should be able to inform you of this.
If I can be of any further assistance please feel free to call me.
Yours -truly,
Dale Eklin

CASE NO. SUP/92-49
Planning Commission Meeting: September 14, 1992
Project Location: 1709 South Greeley Street
Comprehensive Plan District: Business Park
Zoning District: Business Park Industrial, BP -I
Applicant's Name: Michael Dvorak
Type of Application: Special Use Permit
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Request to use existing 10,300 square foot building for gymnastics center.
DISCUSSION:
The request is to use an existing building for a gymnastic center. The
building is located on the east side of Greeley Street at the intersection of
Curve Crest Boulevard.
The gymnastic center use is not listed as a permitted or specially permitted
use so a use determination is necessary. The gymnastic use is a recreational
service use. Business, professional, and medical office service uses are
allowed in the Business Park Industrial District.
A site plan shows the parking lot location. Spaces for 35 cars are shown. 35
spaces equals one space per 300 square feet of building area. This amount of
parking should be adequate most of the time unless there are special events.
The Parking Ordinance requires that commercial parking facilities shall be
improved to certain standards; i.e. paved, drainage, landscape, curbing and
lighted. The applicant is requesting that the lots be maintained in a
temporary gravel condition for a period of 18 months (summer 1994). At that
time they would be improved to City standards.
Because of the parking location behind the building, lighting should be
installed at this time to make the lots safe for pedestrians.
No signs are requested by the applicant. A wall sign with a maximum of 60
square feet is permitted for the building.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL:
The following improvements shall be made before occupancy and use of
the building as a gymnastics center.
a. The weeds and volunteer vegetation around the building shall be
removed.
1
2.
b. The frontyard between the building and Greeley Street shall be
leveled and seeded or sodded.
c. The miscellaneous wood and metal container to the rear of the
building shall be removed.
d. A gully caused by excessive run-off shall be filled with large
fieldstone or limestone rocks 8 to 14 inches in diameter.
e. The temporary parking lot shall be graded to control drainage on
site and released to the Brick Pond wetland without erosion.
f. All soils that are disturbed shall be planted or covered with
gravel.
g. Lighting shall be provided in the parking areas and walkways to
the buildings.
h. The above improvements shall be reviewed and approved by the
Community Development Director before building use as a
gymnastic center.
A wall sign of 60 square feet maximum may be installed on the building.
By June 30, 1994, final site improvement shall be made to the site or
this permit is void. Plans for the improvements shall be reviewed and
approved by the Community Development Director before they are made.
Plans shall be submitted for review by May 1, 1994 with improvements
completed by June 30, 1994.
Final Improvements shall include:
- Paving of the driveway and parking area.
- Curbing to control drainage as needed.
- Final lighting of parking lot (maximum light standard height is
15 feet) and be directed away from residences to the rear.
- Two street trees shall be planted in front of the building along
- Greeley Street.
Evergreens shall be planted between the Poplars

THE BIRTHPLACE OF MINNESOTA
MEMO
TO: PLANNING COMMISSION
FROM: ANN TERWEDO
DATE: SEPTEMBER 10, 1992
SUBJECT: BED AND BREAKFAST ORDINANCE REVISION
BACKGROUND:
In July, a letter of concern was sent to the City Council in regards to the
existing Bed and Breakfast Ordinance. Concerns dealt with preservation of our
large, historic homes, number of guest rooms allowed in Bed and Breakfasts
and the residential character of our neighborhoods. Other concerns included
types of licenses and present inspections of Bed and Breakfasts.
The City Council directed the Planning Commission to review the existing
Ordinance for possible revision. The Planning Commission discussed the issue
at their July 13, 1992 meeting. They felt that a subcommittee of Planning
Commissioners, Heritage Preservation Commission members and Bed and
Breakfast owners should go through the Ordinance in detail and come back with
some specific recommendations as to changes in the existing Ordinance.
DISCUSSION:
The group met two times to discuss the Ordinance. The Galena, Illinois
Ordinance was used as an example of possible changes which could be
incorporated into the present Ordinace. The attached report describes the
Ordinance changes and reason for the change.
Two factors were brought out during discussions at the meetings which have
also been the subject of special use permit public hearings on Bed and
Breakfasts. The first is the preservation of large residential structures and
appropriate adaptive reuse of such homes.
The second is input of Bed and Breakfasts on the residential character of our
neighborhoods. Since the Ordinance was drafted in 1988, seven Bed and
Breakfasts permits have been issued. If this rate continues, the residential
areas may eventually be impacted. The present Ordinance allows Bed and
Breakfasts to be located in residential structures over 100 years old that is
three blocks from another. This allowance is very broad and is not specific on
types of structures.
It has been determined that, by establishing a criteria for the size allowable
for a Bed and Breakfast, it limits the structures to the larger homes either
in need of restoration or are too large to typically maintain as a single
family residence. Smaller homes should remain as single family dwellings. This
will probably limit the number of Bed and Breakfasts which could be
established and limits new Bed and Breakfasts to larger homes.
Please review the attached proposed amendments to the Ordinance. I have
included the existing Ordinance for your review.
CITY HALL: 216 NORTH FOURTH STILLWATER, MINNESOTA 55082 PHONE: 612-439-6121
AMENDMENTS TO BED AND BREAKFAST ORDINANCE
DEFINITION: Bed and Breakfasts.
A owner occupied locally designated historic residential structure used as a
lodging establishment where a guest roaim or rooms are ren'Leif on a nightly
basis and in which a guest room, or rooms, are rented on a nightly basis and
which only breakfast is included as part of the basic compensation.
*CHANGE: Manager was deleted from definition. This will allow only owners of
the property to conduct Bed and Breakfasts.
PURPOSE: The City of Stillwater recognizes that Bed and Breakfasts are an
asset to the community for the preservation of our large, historic homes. It
is the intention of the City to limit to those larger homes whereby a special
use would benefit the City and surrounding area by allowing a appropriate
adaptive reuse for such dwellings. This is in recognition that the expense of
owning and maintaining larger historic homes has made them less suitable for
single-family dwellings.
It is the intention of the City of Stillwater to limit the number of Bed and
Breakfasts in order to maintain the residential character of historic
neighborhoods.
ADDITION: A purpose is added to the ordinance. It defines the intent of the
ordinance to preserving the larger, older homes while maintaining the
residential areas of the community. The ordinance supports this purpose.
CHANGES TO EXISTING ORDINANCE
3. Bed and Breakfast uses in residential areas shall be located at least nine
hundred (900) feet apart (approximately three blocks).
CHANGE: This defines the three block limit.
4. No liquor is to be sold on premises. If wine is proposed to be served, a
wine license must be obtained.
CHANGE: This requires that a wine license be issued. It is a State law for the
service of wine.
7. A historic Bed and Breakfast structure will be at least fifty (50) years
old and be locally significant. This shall be determined by the Heritage
Preservation Commission.
CHANGE: The National Register criteria for the designation of historic
structures is fifty (50) years. This is based on the historic context
identified by the State or City if historic contexts have been identified at
the local level. Although most larger homes in Stillwater were constructed
before 1900, with the significant context identified as residential
development based on lumbering, some newer structures may be architecturally
significant or may have historic merit.
EXAMPLE: A large Prairie style home constructed in the 1920's may merit
architectural significance for that period and meet all other stipulations in
the ordinance.
8. The maximum of five (5) Bed and Breakfast guest rooms may be established
in a structure. The following criteria guides the determination for the
number of guest rooms permissive in a Bed and Breakfast.

Overall house size is determined by using the total square footage of
habitable living space within the structure.
The number of original bedrooms in the structure will dictate how many guest
rooms will be allowed. This shall be reviewed and determined by the Heritage
Preservation Commission. In the case of a family with children, their bedroom
use will be defined before the number of guest rooms permitted is determined.
CHANGE: This section will limit the number of homes in the community which
will qualify to become a Bed and Breakfast. It takes into consideration the
size of structure and lot size for determination of the number of rooms
allowed. Also, the original number of bedrooms in the home will dictate how
many guest rooms will be allowed. This is intended to preserve the original
floor plan of the home so homes are not altered or stripped of their historic
integrity. The Heritage Preservation Commission will review the floor plan of
the home and restoration program.
11. A Bed and Breakfast establishment shall show proof of City building, fire
and planning inspections, proof of operating licenses by Washington County
and show shall submit the State sales and use tax number for their
business.
CHANGE: Added to this section is planning inspections and submission of a
State sales and use tax number. This will tighten inspections on how the home
is being used and/or restored as a Bed and Breakfast. It also makes sure that
it is a legitimate business which pays taxes.
12. Restoration and/or additions to a Bed and Breakfast shall meet the
Secretary of Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation. This shall be

MEMORANDUM
MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
STEVE RUSSELL, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
AUGUST 18, 1992
SUBJECT: CITY PLANNING REVIEW OF DOWNTOWN PROJECTS.
There are several Downtown, or Downtown related, projects that are in various
stages of planning or project review and development; i.e. CUB office, hotel,
grocery store, parking structures, housing, and Lowell Park. Some of these
projects are related.
The City of Stillwater has several committees that will review aspects of the
various projects. The committees, or commissions, include the Planning
Commission, Historic Preservation Commission, Parking Task Force, Downtown
Implementation Committee and ultimately the City Council. Because of the
extensive nature of Downtown activity and the need for input, it is suggested
that a special Downtown Project Review Task Force be formed to work with Staff
and the various developers regarding their projects. By establishing the Task
Force with representatives from the City committees, it will be easier to get
timely yet comprehensive input representing the various interests of the
Downtown area and the broader community.
The development projects would still have to go through the normal channels of
planning and design review and approval, but with the task force input
provided early in the project development process so that when the projects
are ready for review by the respective committees they will have addressed the
critical committee concerns.
It is suggested that the Downtown Project Review Task Force have
representation as follows: Planning Commission (2), Heritage Preservation
Commission (2), Parking Task Force (2), Downtown Action Committee (2), City
Council (2). This ten member committee would meet on an "as needed" basis to
provide input to Staff and the developers regarding the various downtown
related projects. The Committee would provide input and guidance but would
not make the final decisions.
RECOMMENDATION:
Consider establishing Downtown Project Review Task Force.
