City of Stillwater, Applicant. Steve Russell presented the background of the case along with a video of the land involved. Chairman Fontaine noted that two letters have been submitted in regard to the case. A letter was received from Dean M. Schubert, a relative of one of the property owners involved, expressing opposition to the annexation. The second letter was submitted by John W. Diers, Chairman of the Minnesota Transportation Museum, in support of the annexation. Mr. Fontaine read the letter as requested by Mr. Diers. Mr. Fontaine opened the hearing for comments by audience members. Richard Schubert, 8822 Stonebridge Trail North, owner of a farm which will be affected by the annexation, presented a petition from six residents within the proposed annexation who are opposed to the annexation. He presented a second petition with over 300 signatures of area residents who are opposed to the annexation and would like the area to remain in a natural state with no more development. He stated that he is the fourth generation on the family farm. His property is zoned agricultural and his taxes are green acres. He stated that he is angry because of this disruption to his m Stillwater Planning Commission March 9, 1992 family. He prefers the township government and believes that the township provides adequate conservation of the natural resources. Eric Rydeen, 14383 Dellwood Ave. N., stated he can see no benefit in being annexed to the City and is not in favor of the action. Robert Watson, 8710 Stonebridge, stated his opposition to the annexation. He has the type of government he prefers and wants the City to leave the township alone. Susan Sikorski, 9367 Ochipwe, read a letter from her husband, Gerry Sikorski, stating that annexation is costly and should only be undertaken for public policy reasons. Norton Cross, 14491 Dellwood Rd., stated that the annexation would result in increased taxes, is undesired, and would not be beneficial to the residents involved. Tim Sinclair, 14411 Dellwood Rd., owns 40 acres in Stillwater Township and is opposed to the annexation. He is concerned about increased costs and City restrictions. He stated that the action is intrusive. Dick Edstrom, 203 W. Hazel, on the south side of Brown's Creek, stated that the trains are leaving a residue on the tracks. Mr. Rydeen spoke again and stated that he does not want this to become an issue about the trains. He is not aggressively opposed to the trains, but is opposed to the annexation. Brian Sweeney, 8787 Stonebridge Trail, stated that he is a new resident. He is not opposed to the trains, but is opposed to the annexation, as he wishes to continue to live in Stillwater Township. David Johnson, Stillwater Township Board Supervisor, stated that he is concerned with protecting the Township residents' rights. He stated that the Township Board is disappointed with the City's lack of communication regarding this issue and the Board is united in opposition to the annexation. Barb Menninger, Richard Schubert's wife, stated that the area is not suburban in nature and showed photos of her family farm. Ann Thompson, a resident of the Township, stated that she believes the reason the City wishes to annex the land is for the benefit of the MTM train. The Planning Commission took a five-minute recess and then began discussion of the issue. 91 Stillwater Planning Commission March 9, 1992 Rob Hamlin stated that he sees both perspectives, but believes more time and consideration should be put into the proposal before a decision is made. Darwin Wald agreed that more time should be spent and that the City and the Township should try to come to an agreement. Chairman Fontaine stated that he would like to see the issue tabled and the two Planning Commissions talk it out. In response to a question from the Planning Commission, Township Board member Cathy Buck stated that there are a mixed number of minimum lot sizes. South of Highway 96 there is a 2 1/2 acre minimum, and one acre for on -site septic. Some areas have a 20 acre minimum because of the conservancy zone. Most existing homes pre -date the zoning laws. Brown's Creek requires a five acre minimum. Rob Hamlin made a motion to deny CPA/92-1. Seconded by Angela Anderson. Motion to deny carried 5-2. Gene Bealka and Gary Funke opposed. 2.

He also stated that an alternative would be to have the sign list all three tenants in the building. Mr. Russell stated that the limit on size for a multiple sign is 40 square feet; the Realty World sign predated the sign ordinance. The Commission determined that it should rule only on the sign request as presented. The applicant could resubmit a request for an alternative sign.

BACKGROUND: The trolley use permit was issued in 1989 with a condition that the applicant prepare a written report each year. The attached letter gives a broad overview of the trolley use activity during the 1991 season. Mr. Raleigh states construction did hurt his business last summer but is enthusiastic about the upcoming season. The trolley booth will stay in the same location as in past years. A letter has been submitted by the Freight House giving permission to run the business on that property for the 1992 season. The tour routes will change slightly this year with the addition of a new route. The trolley booth has been an important location for the distribution of information on Stillwater and the St. Croix Valley. An expanded brochure rack will be installed this year in response to the number of requests for information.

The ticket booth shall be located on the Freight House property, setback five feet from the south and east property boundaries. 2.

However as the construction continued business slowed con- siderably and nearly halted. We are approaching the 1992 season with optimism, realizing construction will continue but not nearly hindering downtown activity as it did last year. Calls are coming in and we're booking groups daily. We have developed an additional tour to run along with our ever popular original tour and we're working on developing an expanded brochure rack so we can continue to be a good imformational source for the public. We look forward to a continuing good relationship with the city of Stillwater and a great season ahead. Thank you very much.

CROIX RIVER VIEW STUDY PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to analyze land within the City of Stillwater's jurisdiction outside of the official riverway land use district that has a significant impact on the riverway view corridor and study the efficacy of adopting zoning provisions which will preserve the appearance of the City's river face. EXISTING CONDITIONS The following is a visual inventory of the City of Stillwater as seen from the St. Croix River in August of 1991. The riverside areas are described from south to north based on their appearance from the river. South Stillwater Viewing Stillwater from its south boundary; looking west, you first notice the bluffs rising 200 feet above the river. Natural vegetation frames and envelopes steeply sloped rock out croppings. The vegetation consists of Aspen, Birch, Elm, Maple with some Pine. Scattered along the bluff overlooking the river, sit large residences built in the 1950s to 1960s. Most of these residences have flat or minimally pitched roofs and are white, brown, blue or gold in color. As you travel north and approach the downtown area of Stillwater, homes become older and roof lines steeper. These older homes, with one exception, were built during the Lumber Era of 1860 - 1910. The exception is a large grey with white trim, victorian style home built in 1989. Highway 95, a two lane highway, parallels the river below the bluffline. Cars traveling along this stretch of highway can be seen at various points partially screened by vegetation. The shoreline in this area is tree lined with trees and bushes overhanging the river. There are two distinct breaks in the natural shoreline. One is the Aiple Barge Offices, a boat located at rivers edge. The other is a fertilizer warehouse and loading dock. The Oasis restaurant and bait shop on the inland side of Highway 95 can be seen just south of the warehouse. Downtown Stillwater Traveling north from south Stillwater the Historic Stillwater Lift Bridge, connecting Minnesota with Wisconsin, dominates the view. To the west, Historic Downtown Stillwater rests in a pamaramic bowl framed by bluff top trees and houses. Church steeples, Victorian peeked roofed homes and a newer high-rise apartment building punctuate downtown views. The appearance of downtown has remained relatively unchanged for over 100 years. Historic Downtown Stillwater buildings provide a striking contrast to the natural beauty of the upper reaches of the lower St. Croix. The downtown buildings create a town or village image in contrast to the natural riverway of the St. Croix River above Stillwater. The contrast of shoreland development and riverway natural beauty complement each other and provide a unique setting. The Dock 1 �� � :.�_ _�.•-: �r :, -- ill r MINAS + EXIST1:NG S. �jjI 1 DENTIAL.

The concrete levee wall and gazebo define the rivers edge and separates Lowell Park and the background buildings from the river. There are many colors in the bowl of Downtown Stillwater. The Historic buildings are brick red. The newer buildings range in color from white, cream and gold to dark brown and green. Interspersed trees frame and block views of the town. North Stillwater Traveling north from Downtown Stillwater the shoreline returns to a narrow strip of land. This steep bluffline covered with vegetation creates a natural wall appearance. Vegetation in this area consists of Aspen, Spruce, Pine and Walnut. There are large homes along the north end of the bluffline. These homes are painted light colors, white and grey. As one enters the Brown Creek Ravine area, another vista opens up. This one smaller then the Downtown, has steeper side hills. Residential structures peeking out from the trees and sidehill. The feeling in this area is not town or village like downtown Stillwater nor natural/wild like the lower St. Croix north of Stillwater but more riverside rural. North from the Stillwater Yacht Club, the view from the river turns natural, similar to south Stillwater. One break in this area is a single large residence located at rivers edge. A boat and dock front the residence. North of the single residence the Lakeside residential subdivision projects an urban appearance. Most of the homes hover on the bluffline overlooking the river approximately 30 feet below. These homes were built the late 1950s tc mid 1960s with minimal bluffline setbacks. The homes vary in height and color. Lakeside residences have there own marina and docks at the base of the bluff. Two marinas mark the north City limits. These marinas have scattered dockage leading from an irregular shoreline. There are some residences located above the marinas on the inland side of Highway 95. The view of downtown Stillwater from the north channel is breathtaking. The church steeples rise over the river, vegetation and blufflines. The building outline remind one of a quaint New England town or a village along the Rhine. PAST DEVELOPMENT Since the 1970s the views from the river have not changed much in the south Stillwater area. Activity at the barge operation has decreased while warehouse operation continues to be seasonal with most activity in the spring. The residential area on top of the bluffs overlooking the St. Croix has also not changed much. Three houses that can be partially seen from the river have been constructed and one site redeveloped with a new large Victorian style house. The vegetation cover has remained about the same with some tree trimming for view and maintenance along the railroad right-of-way and highway. Most of the trees 2 on the bank and sidehill slopes are volunteer native growth. Downtown Stillwater has seen some growth in the past 20 years. A pair of light colored similar in design three-story buildings were constructed at the corner of Olive and Third Streets. More recently the Dock Cafe, a 200-seat restaurant, at the foot of Nelson Street and further to the north across from Staples Mill on Main Street the 15,000 square foot Desch Office Building was constructed. A wood sided 35-foot tall dry boat storage building was constructed just north of Laurel Street on the Stillwater Yacht Club grounds. During the '70s a 7- story, 100-unit Section 8 Senior Housing building, Rivertown Commons, was constructed just west of Second Street at Mulberry. Other structural changes have occurred. A transit boat dock and docking for the Andiamo charter excursion boats was constructed in the early '80s. The Stillwater Yacht Club, formerly Muller Boat Works, was expanded with additional slips and a restaurant with outside eating and awning. Much of the riverside land north of Downtown Stillwater is in single ownership or developed. The land directly north of the Stillwater Yacht Club is owned by the owner of the large, single family residence. This site probably has the greatest chance of river side development and river visual impact. In 1991, a single family residence was constructed on the bluff overlooking the old territorial prison site and river. Most of the remaining bluff top parcels are developed or difficult to develop because of site condition; steep slopes, lack of sewer service or road access. The Lakeside drive subdivision was constructed before 1970. Some decks and patios have been added since that time with one house increasing its height. Other houses have redeveloped to expand living space and capture views. The Penthouse Acres area just north of Highway 95-96 intersections has developed since 1970. Bluff top residences can be seen from the river. Overall, the Stillwater viewshed area has experienced some growth and change of views but the overall character of the area has remained that of a river town. FUTURE VIEW AREA DEVELOPMENT As previously discussed, most of the land in the City of Stillwater that can be seen from the river is developed or owned by the City of Stillwater. The City of Stillwater owns over 4,000 feet of shoreline from the south City boundary to just south of the Dock Cafe. The barge company and fertilizer transport business currently leases the property from the City. This lease is in effect until 1998. At that time, the City of Stillwater will retain possession of the property for its own use. The Downtown Plan calls for a specific plan for the site to be prepared when the City's possession is closer. The Downtown area appears developed from the river. Although all of the immediate shoreline from the Dock Cafe to Stillwater Yacht Club is owned by the City, land north of Chestnut Street between Water Street and the railroad has recently been purchased by the City from the railroad for future development. The development of this area would change the town view from the river. One other site north of the Desch office building will probably redevelop in time. 3 The north Stillwater area contains the largest riparian vacant site that could impact river views. The site is located directly north of the Stillwater Yacht Club and runs for about 3,000 feet to the Lakeside residential subdivision area. The site is long and narrow between 150 and 250 feet in depth. The west side of the site is bounded by the Minnesota Transportation Museum railroad right of way and Highway 95 and on the east bounded by the river. The bluffland is developed in large single family lots. There remain one or two bluff top lots that could develop. All the lots in the Lakeside Drive area are developed as are the lots in the Penthouse Acres area that can be viewed from the river. The color of homes will continue to change over time and accessory structures, decks, patios or additions will probably continue to be added to existing residencies to capture view of the river or add living space. VIEWSHED DEVELOPMENT REGULATION The river viewshed is partially in the riverway bluffland/shoreland zoning district area although most of the viewshed is outside the district (refer to Map 2). The bluffland/shoreland district area includes the land area between the railroad right of way and river. The district is 100 to 300 feet wide and 2.5 miles long to the intersection of Highway 95 and 96, at that point the boundary widens to include the City of Stillwater territory north and west of the intersection although much of the area can not be seen from the river. The broader viewshed varies in width dependent on topography. For the south Stillwater area the viewshed generally includes the residential development on the west side of the first public street west of the bluff. For the downtown the viewshed widens to a one-half mile in depth due to topography. The north Stillwater area with its characteristic steep bluff and bluff top residences is similar to the south Stillwater area. For the bluffland/shoreland area special development requirements are in effect due to the Wild and Scenic designation of the river. The table below lists the special riverway regulations. For a detailed description of the regulations the ordinance should be referred to. Bluffland/Shoreland Area Urban District Without UrbanDistrict Sewer & with Public Water Sewer & Water 1. Minimum lot size above ordinary high watermark 1 acre 20,000 sq. ft. 2. Lot width at building setback line 150 ft. 100 ft. 3. Lot width at water line 150 ft_ 100 ft. 4.

For the viewshed area outside of the bluffland/shoreland area, regulations are different. The lot size requirements are smaller (7,500 square feet or 10,000 square feet for single family residence with utilities versus 20,000 square feet) and taller buildings are allowed. Tree cutting is not regulated, bluffline setbacks are not required and house color not controlled (with the exception of the Downtown Historic District). The City's subdivision ordinance for all areas of the City require minimum lot area to be with lands of slopes 30 percent or less. Where urban sewer service are not available, a 20,000 square foot lot size is required. The table below lists the residential duplex (RB) development regulations. Viewshed Outside of Bluffland/Shoreland Area Area, Setbacks and Height Regulations: 1. Maximum Building Height: Main Building Accessory Building 2. Minimum Lot Area 3. Minimum Lot Width 4.

For the Downtown area special design review guidelines are in effect to retain and preserve the historic character of Downtown Stillwater Commercial Historic District. A nine block area in the downtown including the 60 year old Historic Lift Bridge and Lowell Park are on the National Register of Historic Places. (Refer to design review guidelines for specific guidelines.) PERCEPTION OF RIVER VIEWSHED ISSUES In the fall of 1991, a questionnaire was administered to the Stillwater City Planning Commission to get there input on views from the St. Croix River and development impact. Four open-ended questions were asked: 1. What are the most important scenic qualities of Stillwater as viewed from the St. Croix River? 2. What is the most important natural beauty or views of historic buildings? 3. Is the Rousseau House more visually conspicuous from the river than the homes that surround it? 4. What should be done to protect the scenic bluffline of Stillwater? A video tape of the summer shoreline as viewed from the river channel was presented and the questions discussed. Commission members felt that views of the Stillwater area were special because of the way the natural features, topography, cliffs, vegetation is interspersed with the "core" of downtown buildings. One commissioner said it appears as though Stillwater is enclosed and protected by the natural elements. Another person thought the south and north Stillwater bluff top houses trimmed the bluff line and provided a gradual transition and visual introduction to Downtown. Question 2 responses ranged from calling out the historic and natural resources as equally important to those who felt that what appears to be a natural bluffing now is not natural at all but created when highway 95 was cut into the side of the sandstone hills. Another person felt that nature and wilderness areas (such as the Wild and Scenic St. Croix) has preference over structures. The Commission felt that the changes made to the Rousseau House did not make it more visually conspicuous as viewed from the river. They felt it was in character with the surrounding residential district. C. Ways that were suggested by the Planning Commission to better protect the scenic bluffline and river views included: 1. Limit tree cutting and foliage removal. 2. Limit height of buildings. 3. Establish a tree planting requirement for new residences that can be seen from the river. 4. Purchase key sites that are owned by private land owners where views are critical. 5. Hillside development regulations (setbacks from bluff). 6. Increase City lot area requirements where no urban sewer service available. METHODS TO PROTECT RIVER VIEWS For purpose of this study, it is assumed that the bluff land/shoreland regulations are adequate to protect those areas. This review will consider the upland viewshed area that is not regulated by the riverway ordinance. Action that could adversely effect river view include vegetation removal on private property and infill development in the remaining vacant lots. Current City zoning regulations allow building 35 feet in height. There is no bluffline setback requirement and trees can be cut or trimmed at the property owners discretion. The residential zoning of the area does not appear to be an issue. But where City water and sewer services are not available existing City requirements allow a 20,000 square foot lot area while the bluffland regulations require a one -acre site for new subdivision. (Smaller lot sizes can be developed if the lot is of record.) The Downtown area is almost completely developed except for parking lots and vacant lands recently purchased by the City for redevelopment. The views from the river of Downtown are of a built-up village or town. It does not seem appropriate to try to change the Downtown into a natural area but to recognize it as a historic town and allow it to continue and change as a built-up settlement area. The Lower St. Croix Master Plan calls for the preservation of the historic and cultural resources as well as the natural resources. Methods to reduce the visual impact of development as viewed from the river are described below. The methods seem most appropriate for the south and north Stillwater areas. - Land Purchase - using federal, state or local funds to purchase key sites to preserve views from the river. Similar to outright purchase view easements could be purchased for critical areas. This method has been used north of Stillwater on the Lower St. Croix. 7 - Extend_ Riverway District - the riverway district could be extended to more adequately include the viewshed. For example, the boundary could be moved to the east side of the first public road above the south (City limits to Main Street stairs) and north blufflines (Elm Street to Highway 96). This approach would apply more stringent tree cutting height, lot size and setback regulations to the entire river viewshed except for Downtown. - Zoning Amendments - selective sections in the existing zoning ordinance could be amended that would result in reduced view impact. Possible zoning ordinance changes include: Bluffline Setback. (Currently 40 feet setback required in the riverway district none in other viewshed areas). Height Limit. Reduce height limit by redefining height. Currently residences 45 feet in height can be constructed in the south Stillwater and north Stillwater areas. Building Painting. Require all new houses to be painted earth tones (green or brown). Unsewered Areas. Require larger lot sizes for unsewered areas. This would reduce the number of building sites and reduce potential for ground water contamination and visual impact. Transfer of Development Rights. Allow the transfer of development rights from the viewshed to other areas in the City that can better accommodate higher density development. (This concept has been used for other purposes.) - Tree Planting. Establish a tree planting program on public lands and along highways and railroad right of ways in the viewshed. Some of the ways listed above can be implemented by a change in City zoning regulations. Others require actions by other agencies.
