PUBLIC MEETING The City Council has called a public meeting for Tuesday, April 11, 1989 at 7 00 P M in the City Hall Council Chambers to review the first phase of Downtown improvements and to discuss a financing program for the improvements First phase improvements include primarily addressing existing problems with the utility systems Downtown water and sewer lines are over one hundred years old Some of the lines are leaking and in poor condition This is not a new problem The Metropolitan 40 Wastewater Control Commission has previously warned the City that the I & I (Inflow and infiltration) problem needs to be corrected By correcting the sewer problem and eliminating clean water flowing into the sewer line City sewer flows should decrease Other first phase improvements include constructing storm sewer mains for areas without them repairing streets and sidewalks and bringing City parking lots up to current development standards Most of the phase one improvements can be considered maintenance or replacement of existing utilities and facilities Second phase improvements will include plaza development waterfront improvements nver walkway improvements parking structure and purchase and improvement of Mulberry Point To finance the $6 000 000 First Phase improvements a financing program has been developed that includes several funding sources Tax Increment Bonds ($2 500 000) Sewer Revenue Bonds ($500 000) special sewer and parking service districts ($300 00) reserve funds and retained earnings ($300 00) el and special assessments ($2 000 000) Special assessment projects represent approximately 82% of the total project costs with 40% assessed to property owners The special assessments will increase property tax and /or rents for businesses in Main Street Stillwater June 1928 Photo by J Runk the Downtown However the improvements will result in a more attractive better serviced place to shop work live and do business Your thoughts on the phasing of improvements and financing are important to the Council so plan to attend the meeting on April 11 th Downtown Plan Adopted On October 24 1988 the Stillwater City Council unanimously approved the Downtown Plan The plan provides a guide for future City improvements and private development The plan includes sections on land use transportation and parking urban design and utility improvements It is estimated that more than 10 million dollars in improvements are needed in the Downtown to maintain existing utility systems in order to meet current standards and to improve the image of Downtown The plan sets the blueprint for Downtown development and related improvements The timing of improvements will depend on the availability of Federal State and Local revenues Courtesy Stillwater Public Library Spring Cleanup Scheduled for Saturday, May 6th The annual Downtown Spring Cleanup is scheduled for May 6th The event is sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce Downtown Business Association and City of Stillwater Property and business owners are asked to cleanup their building and property Volunteers and City crews will cleanup the streets parks parking lots and other public areas The event

Downtown Plan Steering Committee Completes Job Well Done The Downtown Plan Steering Committee completed its work on the Downtown Plan with the City adoption of the plan in October The Committee met over fifty times between June 1987 and October 1988 including several workshops four public hearings presentations to interested local groups field trips and numerous subcommittee meetings The committee members include Chairman George Parker Barrett Colombo Judy Curtis Bob De St Aubin Tom Farrell Meg Heaton Paul Keleher Wally Milbrandt Joe Nolde Roberta Opheim Maurice Stenerson Don Valsvik Bob Weiser and Steve Zinnel A hearty thanks goes to this group for putting in their time and effort to improve the future of the Downtown First Plans for Downtown Development Reviewed A five member Downtown Design Review Committee was recently appointed by the City Council to make sure new development retains or is complimentary to the historic character of Downtown Design guidelines contained in the Downtown Plan are used by the Committee to review new development projects If a project is consistent with the guidelines it is recommended for approval to the Planning Commission If it is not changes in the plans will be recommended The Design Review Committee recently reviewed the plans for a three story office building proposed to be constructed just north of the Maple Island plant The Committee felt the office project was consistent with the guidelines because of the building height (three stories) parking spaces provided building material (Stillwater Brick) provision for widening Mulberry Street site landscaping and space for pedestrian pathway connecting to the future river walkway The Committee also felt the new office building would be a fine addition to the North Main Street area Members of the Downtown Design Review Committee are Shawn Draper Mark Ehlenz Dick Hauer Maureen Lodge and Linda Smith DOWNTOWN FACTS Number of parking spaces in Downtown Number of Downtown

Downtown Commercial Zoning District was first described in the Downtown Plan The existing zoning of the Downtown was established in the 1960 s The current districts allow heavy and light industrial uses in parts of the Downtown The new district would eliminate heavy industrial uses but continue to allow light office type industrial uses with Special Use Permit review Other permitted uses would include retail office and service uses The new Central Business District (CBD) establishes height limits (fifty feet or four stories) setback and lot size requirements the Planning Commission reviewed the new Ordinance at their meeting of March 13 and recommended it for City Council approval with the addition of requiring all outside storage areas to be screened from public view Downtown Plan and
