May 1 2006 Present Howard Lieberman Chairman Phil Eastwood Jeff Johnson Council Representative Ken Harycki Brent Peterson Roger Tomten and Scott Zahren Others Community Development Director Bill Turnblad Absent Larry Nelson Mr Lieberman called the meeting to order at 7 p m Approval of minutes Mr Peterson seconded by Mr Eastwood moved approval of the minutes of April 3 2006 Motion passed unanimously Public Hearings Case No DEM/06-02 Consideration of a request for demolition of a residence at 7143 Manning Ave N Croix Capital Group applicant Mr Tomten recused himself from the Commission s discussion/action and represented Chris Aamodt Croix Capital Group Liberty West developers in this matter Mr Tomten stated that in the early design/planning stages of the Liberty West Development they looked at the reuse of the northerly existing structure However reuse would not work well in the replotting of the property He noted that preservation of trees and working with the topography were priorities in determining the layout of the development and location of interior roads Mr Tomten said they also looked at relocating the structure on site However the cost of moving the building and the potential loss of trees precluded that option Mr Tomten said they do not have an accurate age of the structure He said the applicant had gone through the required nine steps for a demolition permit Mr Aamodt explained that he had not advertised the building for sale as required because he had spoken with agents and movers who were not interested in purchasing the structure because of the difficulty/cost presented by the trees Mr Aamodt said he did intend to reuse whatever materials he could materials such as the beams Don Empson, 1206 N Second St said this situation reinforces his recommendation that a survey be conducted of the recently annexation areas because of the presence of historic homes in the annexation areas Although he said he had not looked at this particular structure Mr Peterson agreed that it would be good to do surveys in conjunction with annexations and suggested that is an issue the Council should look at There was discussion as to what constitutes heritage trees Mr Harycki noted the trees on this property are 100-150-year-old oaks Even several residents in the Liberty development offered to give up portions of their yards to preserve these trees he pointed out There also was discussion as to whether the changes/modifications to the structure in question affected its historical significance Mr Johnson pointed out that from the perspective of the National Park Service criteria for historic listings the continuity of this farmstead is already gone and its impact lost He noted the foundation and some framing dates back to the original farmstead but the rest is gone or modified Mr Zahren agreed that with the changes and modifications little of the home is of historical significance 1 a City of Stillwater Heritage Preservation Commission May 1 2006 Mr Lieberman said he was a bit troubled by the adequacy of the response to the demolition requirements No 5 and 9 saying that `word of mouth" is not adequate There was discussion as to whether to continue the request pending additional information on items 5 and 9 Mr Aamodt noted that he was dealing with the City mandate to save the trees Demolition is an integral part of the initiation of work on the project and is required due to the pressure to preserve the heritage trees he said Mr Lieberman moved to grant conditional approval of the demolition permit contingent on the applicant submitting to City staff additional information regarding items 5 and 9 if staff deems the information sufficient demolition can proceed according to the motion Mr Eastwood seconded the motion Motion passed 6-0 Mr Peterson asked if would be possible to determine the age of the structure before demolition takes place Mr Tomten said that would be possible and information could be incorporated into an historic plaque that will be featured in one of the development s open space areas Desiqn Reviews Case No DR/06-17 Design review of parking lot and 25 x50 deck at 101 Third St S (American Legion Post 48) in the CBD Central Business District David Swanson representing American Legion Post 48 Dave Swanson and Jeff Olsen contractor were present Mr Olsen explained the plan is to construct a wood frame deck and 36 retaining wall Lattice work and cedar will cover the exposed area Mr Johnson asked about the style of the lighting fixtures Mr Swanson stated there would be decorative lanterns on each side of the door he noted the door is not a public entrance and is 100 from the sidewalk Mr Johnson asked about the style/color of the masonry units Mr Olsen said the units will be red and black variegated color to match/blend with the rear of the main building The deck railing will be cedar Mr Johnson moved approval with the two conditions recommended by staff and the additional conditions that the applicant submit additional lantern fixture styles and colors/samples of the masonry units be to staff for approval Mr Peterson seconded the motion Mr Johnson noted the light fixtures should be shielded and more in keeping with the architecture of the main building Motion to approve as conditioned passed unanimously Case No DR/06-19 Design review of a planned unit development for a 45 000-square-foot mixed use retail office and residential use with underground parking in the Central Business District at 227 N Main St Mainstream Development Partnership LLC applicant Representing Mainstream Development were Vern and Tim Stefan Tim Stefan provided a model of the building and described proposed materials and provided color samples of brick and copper shingles The building would house retail use on the first floor office space on the second level and seven condominium units on the third level and loft area The main points of discussion centered on the height and potential requirement for a demolition permit As proposed the new structure would be 42 to the roof parapet Mr Eastwood asked about the newly -adopted height overlay district and whether the maximum allowable height is 3 stories or 35 Mr Turnblad said the intent of the ordinance is a maximum or 3 stories Mr Harycki asked about the infill height restriction limiting a new structure to a maximum of 10 percent higher than adjacent properties Mr Harycki said he would like clarification regarding 2 City of Stillwater Heritage Preservation Commission May 1 2006 the height restrictions and said he was unwilling to abandon the new ordinance on the first test case It was noted that the height issue and parking issues require variances and are issues the Planning Commission will have to deal with Regarding the requirement for a demolition permit Tim Stefan said he had been unable to determine the age of the structure Mr Johnson noted that Maple Island provided diary products during WW II and the structure likely dates back to that time Mr Peterson suggested that building permits and property abstracts would be helpful in determining the age of the structure and noted it was the applicants charge to determine that Mr Lieberman and Mr Johnson suggested it would be premature to consider the application until it is determined whether a demolition permit is required Mr Turnblad said it is the City Attorney s opinion that the demolition issue can be considered separate from the design review process It was agreed to provide design comments, with the understanding that the HPC does not approve or disapprove of the application until the demolition issue is resolved Mr Tomten said he thought the proposed setbacks enhance the streetscape He noted that is was not uncommon historically for buildings on corners to get precedence be larger and more prominent and said he thought the applicant had a good job in scaling the building in relation to the adjacent buildings He also spoke in favor of the use of glazing/fenestrations on the Main Street elevation that differentiate the office use from the residential use There was a question about roof penetrations Tim Stefan said the proposal is to have an active rooftop, with pool and deck Tim Stefan said the only rooftop mechanicals not screened would be two 3x3 air conditioning units which could be housed inside the building if preferred Mr Zahren asked if there would be any greenery on the roof Mr Stefan replied that there likely would be some planters Mr Johnson asked about the use of the towers on the corners Tim Stefan said the towers are used to signify entries Mr Johnson suggested the towers do not serve that purpose on the Water Street elevation Mr Stefan asked for input regarding the Water Street elevation and the proposed loading dock and access to the underground parking area Mr Johnson said he thought the loading dock works well as it carries through the industrial look of that elevation and picks up the details of the other buildings Mr Lieberman said he liked the differentiation in setbacks the idea of an active rooftop and said he was not uncomfortable with the direction of the design if the other hurdles are met Mr Eastwood said he thought the biggest issue was the massing of the building he also said building setbacks are not part of the downtown design guidelines Mr Lieberman moved to invite the applicant back to the June HPC meeting for a closer design review or to hold a public hearing on a demolition permit if that is needed and issued and then move to a more detailed design review In the interim Mr Lieberman said he hoped the Planning Commission and Council would deal with the non-HPC issues Mr Johnson seconded the motion clarifying this was conceptual consideration of the design only The applicant was advised to work with Mr Turnblad in an effort to determine whether a demolition permit is needed before the next HPC meeting Motion passed unanimously 3 City of Stillwater Heritage Preservation Commission May 1 2006 Case No DR/06-20 Design review of proposed construction of a free-standing grape arbor on second floor deck of Northern Vineyards Winery at 223 N Main St in the CBD Central Business District Robin Partch applicant The applicant was present There was a question about the height Mr Partch said the arbor will be a bit below the roofline Mr Johnson said he was surprised that the applicant would introduce the public to the rear of the buildings due to dumpsters and other items being located outside Mr Johnson said he thought the dumpster was supposed to be screened and suggested this was an opportunity to clean up the rear elevation and make it more customer - friendly Mr Johnson moved approval with the condition that the dumpster(s) be stored inside the building or located in a screened enclosure Mr Eastwood seconded the motion motion passed unanimously Case No DR/06-21 Design review of proposed signage for Stillwater Medical Clinic at 1500 Curve Crest Blvd in the BP -I Business Park Industrial District Dan Ginkel applicant Mr Ginkel explained the intent is to replace the existing freestanding sign The new sign will be somewhat larger but of similar construction to the existing signage the new sign will be constructed using the same materials as the main building It was noted that the proposed directional signs cannot include the name of the clinic There was a question about landscaping around the sign Mr Ginkel noted that landscaping is not part of the signage package a landscaping plan was submitted Mr Ginkel also noted there is no landscaping around the existing freestanding sign Mr Tomten moved approval with the condition that the name of the clinic be removed from the directional signs Mr Eastwood seconded the motion motion passed unanimously Other items Mills on Main discussion Representing the developers were Dave May and Scott England architect Mr Lieberman began the discussion by noting this was not a public hearing and was not noticed as such Mr May provided photos of the northwest corner of the site which showed where pipes had been painted and some had been cut down since the last discussion Four different colors were used in painting the pipes -- black two different shades of gray and a brown tone The heating and air conditioning vents have been lowed and all bathroom and dryer vents taken done to code 18 above the roof He said plumbing stacks can be lowered when testing is complete He said the horizontal pipes could be relocated and the one on the southeast corner may be shortened by about 4 Mr Harycki asked if there were any other alternatives Mr England said engineers have flatly denied any tent structure Utilizing screening walls would be just as unappealing, he said because so much screening would be required Members questioned whether the developers/architects knew there would be this much litter on the roof and suggested that it was the developers/architects responsibility to anticipate that one of the most prominent features of the building would be the rooftop Mr England responded that with a flat roof they knew penetrations would be needed but also knew they were not allowed to have rooftop equipment Mr England also noted that fireplace flues could be vented through the side walls but that was not allowed by the City Mr Johnson suggested that if the HPC knew there would 4 City of Stillwater Heritage Preservation Commission May 1 2006 be this amount of roof penetrations there would have been some give and take in the design review process Mr Johnson also pointed out that piping can be consolidated — not every plumbing fixture needs to be vented through the roof Mr England responded that they did take measures to consolidate the piping where possible and noted that a roof plan showing "hundreds of dots indicating pipe locations was submitted to the City Mr Johnson noted that one doesn t see roof penetrations at the old prison site development Mr Harycki said he was not ready to accept looking at pipes for 100 years Mr England said the developer had consolidated what venting it can and will cut the pipes to the lowest level allowable by code beyond that he said the only thing that can be done is to camouflage the pipes Mr Lieberman opened the discussion to public comments Del Blocher 308 N Second St referred to the City Attorneys opinion that any pipes are a violation of the developers agreement He said painting is not the solution but said a solution still needs to be practical Deborah Asch 320 N Second said she thought things could be done to landscape the building on Second Street and suggested that a professional landscaper be consulted for ideas Ms Asch said she would like to see the landscape plan at the next meeting Mr England said they did have a professional landscape architect and trees will be planted on Second and the boulevard in July or August Mr England also noted that the roof will be covered in snow half of the year Barb LeTounne suggested utilizing a sculpture garden using the rooftop as a canvas Don Empson 1206 N Second St suggested allocating $20 000-$30 000 for a design contest to mitigate the appearance and said he suspected a lot of creative solutions might be offered In the absence of any solution he suggested denying an occupancy permit Sonja Larson 2008 Hazel Court said she was sad about the view She said no amount of paint can hide the piping paint will just make it look like a mistake She called for doing something creative to mitigate the situation Gayle Roettger Main Street called on the developers to accept responsibility for their actions Mr Peterson asked if there was an overhead photo available to provide a better idea of what might be done Mr Harycki said he liked the idea of a design competition something more than painting Mr Zahren pointed out that the project has actually improved the view from Second Street — before the view consisted of buildings and scrub trees Mr Zahren also noted that when he went to look at the painting and cutting that had been done on a portion of the roof he only noticed three colors — he didn t see the browns Mr Lieberman suggested tabling any action until the completion of the cutting and painting Mr Johnson moved to take no action until all the pipes are cut and painted whatever color the developer feels is best while at the same time encouraging the developer to look at other creative solutions Mr Peterson seconded the motion motion passed unanimously HPC members will meet at the site prior to the June meeting if the cutting/painting is complete by that time 5 City of Stillwater Heritage Preservation Commission May 1 2006 There was discussion of the color of the siding/trim and garage doors Mr England provided samples of the preferred colors and how the colors would appear when they abut Mr Johnson asked about the suggested use of sage green Mr England said there was a concern about the psychological effects of the use of green and said herring gray was the preferred color Mr Johnson asked how the colors relate to the masonry and said the colors should represent the architecture of the building rather than bringing in yellow/bright white which are more contemporary colors Mr Tomten asked if it would be possible to get photo renditions of the different colors Mr Tomten also asked if color variations had been considered to break up the back of the building Mr England pointed out that photo renditions are not entirely accurate Mr Tomten said it was understood that the color elevations would not be totally accurate Mr England said approval of the colors is critical at this point He asked if it would be possible to get approval within the week if he provided color elevations to members Mr Johnson moved to have Mr England circulate PDFs of color elevations to members with members to respond with their comments to Mr Turnblad within four days Mr Peterson seconded the motion motion passed unanimously Meeting was adjourned at 10 35 p m Respectfully submitted Sharon Baker Recording Secretary 6 THE OTO liwater HPLACE OF MINNESOTA DATE APPLICANT Mainstream Development Partnership, LLC REQUEST Demolition Permit LOCATION 225 North Main Street HPC PUBLIC HEARING DATE June 5, 2006 PREPARED BY Bill Turnblad, Community Development Director May 31, 2006 CASE NO 06-04 DEM BACKGROUND Mainstream Development Partnership, LLC is planning to develop a project referred to as 227 North Main Street This would represent the final phase of development on the former Maple Island Plant site This phase relates to the hardware store property at 225 North Main Street and the surface parking lot abutting it on the north side The proposed project is to demohsh the hardware store, remove the parkmg lot and build in their place about a 46,000 square foot mixed use building as follows • 13,000 gross square feet of below grade parking for 21 vehicles • 13,000 gross square feet of commercial space on the ground floor • 13,000 gross square feet of office space on the second floor • 7,000 square feet of residential on the third floor (4 uruts with 1,750 s f each) SPECIFIC REQUEST Mainstream Development Partnership is requesting a demolition permit for removal of the existing building at 225 North Main Street EVALUATION OF REQUEST Chapter 34, Section 34-4 of the City Code states that "if buildings or structures are determined by the community development director to be historic or potentially historic, the application must be sent to the [hentage preservation] commission for review Buildings or structures determined nonhistonc must be referred to the building official for issuance of a demolition pit „ A "nonhistonc structure or building" is defined by Chapter 34, Section 34-2 as a structure or building less than 50 years old Mainstream Development Demo Permit Page 2 An application booklet was submitted for the proposed demolition (see attachment) A substantial portion of the application included matenals establishing the age of the Maple Island buildmg that the hardware store now occupies From the evidence submitted, the building is less than 50 years old • Robert Claybough Preservation Architects consulted with Mainstream Development and suggested that the following affidavits and Sanborn maps be submitted to the City o Mainstream Development submitted Sanborn maps from 1956 and 1961 Neither map shows the building that the hardware store is now located in Presumably, the building did not exist by the time the 1961 map data was assembled o An affidavit from Ralph Green, the Maple Island Dairy plant manager from 1948 to 1957, states that the north end of the building [where the hardware store now is] was nothing more than three outside service lanes for the creamery Moreover the lanes were not enclosed with structure "until sometime after 1950" o An affidavit from Ron Zirbel, the plant manager from 1959 to 2002, states that when the three lanes were enclosed with a building, a truck scale was mstalled • The purpose of the truck scale was to calculate the weight of milk being delivered • The weigh scale installation sticker indicates that the scale was installed m June of 1961 • Since the subject building was constructed as a weigh station, it is reasonable to assume that it was built around the time the scale was installed in 1961 This is consistent with the 1961 Sanborn map that shows no building where the hardware store is now located It appears the building was constructed in the first half of 1961 This would make the building about 45 years old Since it appears that the building is less than 50 years old, it would be considered "nonhistonc" by definition Consequently, the demolition request does not need to be considered by the Heritage Preservation Commission cc Tim Stefan Vern

Mainstream Development Partnership, LLC REQUEST Design Review for Phase III of Maple Island Dairy Redevelopment May 31, 2006 LOCATION 225 North Main Street HERITAGE PRESERVATION COMMISSION REVIEW DATE June 5, 2006 CASE NO 06-19DR PREPARED BY Bill Turnblad, Community Development Directo BACKGROUND Mainstream Development Partnership, LLC is planning to develop a project referred to as 227 North Main Street This would represent the final phase of development on the former Maple Island Dairy site This phase relates to the hardware store and surface parking lot north of it The proposed project is to demolish the hardware store and build about a 46,000 square foot mixed use building as follows • 13,000 gross square feet of below grade parking for 21 vehicles • 13,000 gross square feet of commercial space on the ground floor • 13,000 gross square feet of office space on the second floor • 7,000 square feet of residential on the third floor (4 units with 1,750 s f each) The developer appeared before the Heritage Preservation Commission on May 1, 2006 Since it was unclear at the time whether a demolition permit would be necessary for the hardware store, the design review was tabled However, general comments were made about the proposed building design These comments can be seen in the attached minutes On May 8, 2006 the Planning Commission considered the variances and special use permits necessary to develop the project as proposed There were concerns about the magnitude of the parking variance as well as the requested height variance Consequently the commission denied the requests Details of the commission's considerations are found in the attached minutes Subsequently, Mainstream Development Partnership appealed the Planning Commission action to the City Council The appeal will be heard by the Council on June 20, 2006 In addition, the developer has substantially down -sized the proposed building The first version of the building 227 North Main Street Page 2 had approximately 62,000 square feet of space distributed amongst four stones (five levels with the basement garage) The massing of the revised building has been reduced to about 46,000 square feet distributed over only three stones (four levels with the basement garage) The largest reduction in space occurred in housing, which was reduced by about 13,000 square feet However, each of the other stones was reduced by about 1,000 square feet on the Water Street side of the building to accommodate a drive through for the first story commercial space SPECIFIC REQUEST In order to develop the property as proposed, Mainstream Development would need the following City approvals 1 Special Use Perrrut for a "private parking facility for more than five cars" in the Central Business District 2 Special Use Permit for residential units m the Central Business District 3 5 foot vanance from the maximum mfill height standard Maximum height for mfill buildings is 10% greater than the adjacent building The adjacent building is Northern Vmeyard Winery, which has a height of 29' 4" So, the maximum permitted height of 227 North Main would be 32' 3" The proposed height is 37' 3' (half the height of the top floor's arched roof) Consequently, a 5 foot height vanance is needed 4 93 stall variance from mu mum number of required parking spaces 5 Vacation of City's parking easement over parking lot north of hardware store 6 Demolition permit for removal of the hardware store 7 Design review permit Since the project is located in Stillwater's lustonc downtown district, the Hentage Preservation Commission is required to review and take action on the design review permit request EVALUATION OF REQUEST As just noted, the property is located within the City's historic downtown distnct Consequently, the design standards found in the Design Manual, Commercial Historic Distrnt apply to the project The applicable pages of the Design Manual are attached In addition to the Design Manual, the Downtown Plan also offers design and development standards for the property The Downtown Plan identifies the property as Special Site #6 The design guidelines for the special site are also attached City Staff offers the following comments 1 In general the level of detail that has been submitted is at a conceptual or preliminary stage 2 Full sized architectural and civil engineering drawmgs are required in order to do a thorough design review Only reduced size drawmgs were submitted for the revised building design 227 North Main Street Page 3 3 The massing of the revised building is much more compatible with the buildings already on the block 4 The black and white sketch of the proposed buildmg as seen m context with the buildings to the south is helpful However, to help visualize the impact of the building, a color rendering of the view should be submitted 5 Views of the new building from Mulberry Point on the St Croix River should be submitted 6 A view from the bluffline at Pioneer Park should be provided This view needs to include rooftop detailing 7 From drawing A8, it appears that rooftop mechanical equipment will be out in the open on the roof Is this acceptable to the Hentage Preservation Commission? 8 From drawing A8, it appears that there will be two chimneys that will hide four vents each In addition, there will be four visible vents on the arched roof over the condos The Heritage Preservation Commission should ask the developer if these are the only vents that will be visible on the roof Will there be any other venting, for example out the side of the building? 9 The building matenals and architectural elements of the revised building are much the same as the previous version of the buildmg Except for the excessive number of turrets on the previous building, the materials and elements seemed to be acceptable There is now only one turret proposed It would be located on the northwest corner of the building ALTERNATIVES The HPC has the following options 1 Approve the design review as submitted 2 Deny the design review if the level of detail submitted by the apphcant is not sufficient for the Commission to visualize the building design 3 Table the design review request for more details 4 Approve the design review conceptually with conditions RECOMMENDATION Since the current submittal package is at a conceptual or preliminary level of detail, staff would not recommend fmal approval However, staff does feel comfortable recommending prelununary/conceptual approval of the project with the following conditions 1 Prior to approval of a final design review permit, colored rendering perspectives of the exterior elevations must be submitted and approved by the HPC The perspective views should be from the Pioneer Park bluffline, from Mulberry Point on the St Croix River, and from Main Street 2 Pnor to approval of a fmal design review permit, detailed full scale building floor plans and elevations showing all extenor matenals and color choices shall be submitted to, reviewed by and approved by the HPC 227 North Main Street Page 4 3 Pnor to approval of a final design review permit, details of all roof penetrations must be submitted to, reviewed by and approved by the HPC This is required m order to visualize all roof venting, roof stacks, etc 4 No rooftop venting or other penetrations are allowed, unless specifically approved by the HPC and the City Council 5 No mechanical equipment shall be allowed outside on the rooftop 6 All utilities and mechanical equipment shall either be mternally located or completely screened from general pubhc views from Main Street, the St Croix River, and Pioneer Park This includes the mechanical equipment on the ground at the southeast corner of the building This does not include utility venting, wluch is the subject of other conditions of approval, nor does it include transformers that must provide access for Xcel Energy employees 7 A demohtion permit apphcation must be approved by the City's Building Official prior to demolition of the hardware store 8 Pnor to approval of a final design review permit, a signage plan must be submitted to, reviewed by and approved by the HPC In addition, a sign permit apphcation must be submitted to and approved by City staff prior to installation of any signs on the project site 9 Pnor to approval of a final design review permit, an exterior hghting plan must be submitted to, reviewed by and approved by the HPC 10 Pnor to approval of a final design review permit, a drainage plan must be submitted to, reviewed by and approved by the City Engineer 11 All gutters, downspouts, flashings, etc shall be of a color that matches the adjacent surface 12 The street address of the building shall be displayed in a location conspicuous from Main Street 13 All required landscaping shall be installed pnor to fmal project inspection 14 No trash enclosures are planned to be located outside Therefore, no trash enclosures or trash bins will be allowed without prior approval of the HPC 15 All construction activity shall conform to the City's noise ordinance Construction during dry periods shall

Special Site #6 The Maple Island site includes the Maple Island Plant, Water Street and existing railroad spur to the east. The full potential of the approximately two acre site is dependent on the vacation of Water Street and removal of railroad storage tracks. Without railroad tracks removed, visual as well as pedestrian access to the river is limited The site is cri- tical to the Downtown because it provides a link between the South Main Street existing historic retail/office area and the North Main Street activity area. The site could connect the river and Mulberry Point to Main Street and has the potential to create a central major focal point for Downtown. The site presents an opportunity to retain the zero setback Main Street edge while providing a more contem- porary site development design The design plan calls for a mixed use, office/retail/housing complex with market plaza and arcade opening up to the river The site also has potential for a hotel/mixed use project with its proximity 48-A to Downtown, the marina and river. Lands to the south, west or east of the site could be included in the project depending on the development concept. Preferred Land Use Mixed use, retail/office/residential or hotel/retail. Design Guidelines o The project design should take full advantage of the river by providing views and pedestrian access. o Main Street building setback shall be determined by building design, provision of pedestrian amenities, and sensitivity to Main Street. o A market plaza or similar public open space pedestrian amenity, connecting Main Street to the river, should be incorporated into the design of the site. o The project landscape plan and design shall complement the new streetscape plan for Mulberry Boulevard and North Main Street. o Adequate right-of-way shall be provided for Mulberry Boulevard improvements. o The project shall meet the Central Business District and Floodplain regulations and the Downtown Design Guidelines. South Riverfront Property, Site #7 This City -owned site runs from the parking lot just south of Brick Alley and the southern boundaries of Lowell Park to Sunnyside Marina to the south as shown on Figure 6. The site represents tremendous opportunity for addition to the City riverfront parks and open space system. The site is currently leased from the City for river barge operations. 49 Overview of Design Manual Design Principles for New Construction New mfill buildings should fit into the fabnc of existing buildings and the overall streetscape and not present a Jarring contrast with what is already there Therefore, design guidelines for existing storefronts also hold true for new construction The basic principle for new construction in historic Downtown Stillwater is to maintain the scale and character of present buildings Generally new structures should provide height, massing, setback, materials and rhythm compatibility to surrounding structures The reproduction of histonc design and details is expensive, artificial and is recommended only in some special cases of infill or small-scale construction Design Principles for Restoration and Rehabilitation Many buildings in Downtown Stillwater retain their original character, there are also many buildings that have been altered so drastically since they were first constructed that tittle remains of their original design Rear walls and upper floors of older buildings sometimes show their onginal character and from these areas one can imagine the onginal appearance of the fronts of these buildings Of course, old photos are also helpful, and an abundance of photographic evidence is available at the State Histonc Preservation Office, the Washington County Histoncal Society and the John Runk photo collection at the Stillwater Public Library To the extent possible, modification to storefronts and building facades should seek to remove inconsistent present layers of siding and signage to emphasize the design and materials of the onginal building New designs may be appropnate if the building has been altered to the point that the ongmal design has been destroyed Any new design should respect the proportions as well as the detailing of the onginal design and should use materials, which are consistent with those used m the onginal buildings New design elements such cloth awnings, flower boxes or signage which did not exist at previous times may be appropnate to give the building both color and character Care must be taken so design elements are not applied which attempt to make a building appear as if it is from a penod or style other than it really is General principals for restoration and rehabilitation are taken from the Secretary of Intenor's Standards for Rehabilitation • All work should be of a character and quality that mamtams the distinguishing features of the building and environment The removal of architectural features is not permitted • Deteriorated architectural features should be repaired rather than replaced whenever possible In the event of replacement, new matenals should match the onginal m composition, design color, texture and appearance Duplication of ongmal design based on physical or pictonal evidence is preferable to using conjectural of "penod" designs or using parts of other buildings • Distinctive stylistic features or examples of skilled craftsmanship charactenstic of structures of a penod should be treated sensitively Furthermore, if changes in use of a building are contemplated, they should be accomplished with minimum alteration to the structure and fabnc • In general, it is expected that buildings will be restored to their ongmal appearance However, alterations to buildings are sometimes sigmficant because they reflect the history of the building and the distnct This significance should be respected and restoration to an "ongmal" appearance may not always be desirable All buildmgs should be recognized as products of their own time (Example A building that was constructed in 1890 should resemble a building from 1890 ) DESIGN MANUAL, COMMERCIAL HISTORIC DISTRICT STILLWATER MINNESOTA 5 Overview of Design Manual Pedestrian -Oriented Design Background Throughout history there have been places in the city where people could go to see people, and be seen Downtown Mam Street Stillwater has played its traditional role as a place where people can meet, see others, and be seen themselves This is part of what makes it so special It is often the downtown main street that identifies an independent small town from genenc suburban environments Mamtainmg the pedestrian quality of the main street through the use of "pedestrian -oriented design" is cntical We know that this design works because it is this 'promenade' model of a traditional main street that has been copied m every regional shoppmg mall ever created Guidelines • The design of the building should help make the street enjoyable, visually interesting and comfortable Individual buildings should be integrated with the streetscape to bring activity m the building in direct contact with the people on the street • Avoid blank walls, closed curtains, and neglected storefronts These are all pedestrian turn-offs Put two or three in a row and you've killed the attraction to pedestnans It doesn't work in a mall and it doesn't work downtown • Natural light should be allowed to penetrate into the store interior • Displays should allow the customer a full view of the store intenor • Window displays should be attractive when viewed from both the sidewalk and the store mtenor • Light fixtures should be hidden from view • Window displays should allow people in the store to see out • Existmg umnterestmg street facades can be enhanced with detailing, artwork, landscaping or other visually mterestmg features DESIGN MANUAL COMMERCIAL HISTORIC DISTRICT, STILLWATER MINNESOTA l I Overview of Design Manual Trademark Building Design Background Trademark buildings have been designed m such a way as to make the services or goods sold immediately recognizable through the use of a specific architectural design, matenals and colors of the building These were first developed on or near high-speed freeways where taking the time to read a sign would be too dilficult Such designs are generally in conflict with the characteristics of pedestrian onented commercial storefronts Guideknes • Trademark buildings are prohibited w DESIGN MANUAL, COMMERCIAL HISTORIC DISTRICT STILLWATER MINNESOTA 7 Design Criteria Design Guidehnes The following guidelines, for the most part, deal with general rather than specific design elements in order to provide direction yet stimulate and encourage architectural innovation • Setback • Proportion • Height • Parking • Rear Entrances • Roofs • Utility Areas and Mechanical Equipment • Detailing • Facade Openings • Matenals • Color • Lighting • Awnings • Signs and Graphics • Architectural Signs • Storefront Signs • Window Signs • Projecting Signs • Painted Wall Signs and Murals • Landscaping DESIGN MANUAL COMMERCIAL HISTORIC DISTRICT STILLWATER, MINNESOTA 8 DESIGN MANUAL COMMERCIAL HISTORIC DISTRICT STILLWATER MINNESOTA 9 Setback Background Nothing does more to negatively change the social space of a small downtown street than the front building setback The recent emphasis onthe automobile and parking lots in front of commercial structures can effectively destroy a pedestnan expinence It is far better to build nght up to the sidewalk and facihtate the chances for browsing, social interaction and people watchmg On occasion creating pubhc space with a larger building setback can be successful if the emphasis remams on creating a space that complements and enhances the streetscape Guidelines • Infi11 buildings shall be built to the Main Street front property line, flush to adjacent buildings Exceptions may be granted if the setback is pedestrian oriented and contributes to the quality and character of Main Street • Arcades adjacent to Main Street sidewalks are encouraged to increase the effective width of the narrow sidewalks and provide a sheltered pedestrian path along store display windows • No side setbacks are allowed unless next to a public pedestnan way AVOID SETBACK FROM ADJACENT BUILDINGS BUILD IN LINE WITH ADJACENT BUILDINGS DESIGN MANUAL, COMMERCIAL HISTORIC DISTRICT STILLWATER MINNESOTA 10 Proportion Backround On Main Street, new building with wide disproportionate dimensions can easily disrupt the existing pattern of narrow lots and reletively high and narrow individual facades Also, wide, undifferentiated walls or windows can drastically impact the existing pattern of narrow, high facade openings such as windows and doorways Guidelines • The proportion of mfill buildings should be sympathetic to the proportion of their neighbors • Break up building masses into units of scale that relate to adjacent structures • Design facade details, wmdow openings and entries to conform to approximately the same proportional patterns of adjacent structures DESIGN MANUAL, COMMERCIAL HISTORIC DISTRICT STILLWATER MINNESOTA 11 Height Background This is one of the important elements to consider when designing new structures or additions to existing structures While vaned heights can mix with each other m visually interesting ways, a building, which is significantly taller than adjacent development, will seriously disrupt the existing scale of the downtown area Guidelines • The heights of new buildings shall conform to the average height of buildings on the block street face • The height of new buildings shall be four (4) stories and fifty -feet (50') maximum or two (2) stories minimum, and within ten percent (10%) of existing adjacent buildings • Proposals should strive to maintain compatibility with adjacent cornice lines, floor to floor heights where these are strongly expressed, sign bands, and any other elements which serve to unify the street elevation as a whole DESIGN MANUAL, COMMERCIAL HISTORIC DISTRICT, STILLWATER MINNESOTA 12 1 J Parking Background The proper placement of the of parking areas m a traditional downtown are important factors m ensuring commercial success and maintaining a unique pedestrian experience Guidelines • Every effort should be made to maximize the retail space directly on Main Street and locate parking areas behmd the buildings • Parking lots should be screened from the street and the sidewalk either by walls or plantings or both If walls are used, their matenal should be compatible with the walls of existing adjacent buildings Walls should be at least eighteen inches (18") high • Parking structures should take advantage of the topography of the site to conceal the structure to the extent possible from public view The same care should be taken in the design of the parking as with any other building regarding setbacks, height, proportions facade openings, detailing and matenals The structure should complement the streetscape through the accent landscaping or other pedestrian amenities • Parking structures shall be designed to minimize the use of blank facades directly on the street DESIGN MANUAL, COMMERCIAL HISTORIC DISTRICT STILLWATER MINNESOTA 13 Rear Entrances Background In the past, rear entrances served as service entrances only and were not intended for public use Today, with the emphasis on automobile parkmg taking place behind businesses, the rear entrance is an unportant pubhc access Guidehnes • The rear facade entrance should be clean and well maintained and present a welcome appearance A small sign, awnings, display DESIGN MANUAL COMMERCIAL HISTORIC DISTRICT STILLWATER MINNESOTA 14 1 I windows and planter boxes can improve the appearance DESIGN MANUAL COMMERCIAL HISTORIC DISTRICT STILLWATER, MINNESOTA 15 Roofs Background One of the major differences between residential and commercial buildings is the roof pitch form of sloping or pitched roof whereas commercial structures are known for their reletivly wall plane If this vertical extension is low, it is known as a parapet, if the extension beyond of the building, it is known as a false front Guidelines • The predominant roof shape in the commercial core is flat (slightly sloped to often embellished with brick detailing, are often stepped or sloped to achieve along the building facade • Infill building roofs shall be flat or gently pitched and hidden behind parapet • Roof edges should be related in size and proportion to adjacent buildings or rooflme Residemial structures usually have some flat roofs, often hidden by the extension of the from the roof plane is great, sometimes doubling the height drain), with articulated parapets These parapets, a visually mterestmg yet harmonious sequence walls that articulate the rhythm of the building DESIGN MANUAL COMMERCIAL HISTORIC DISTRICT, STILLWATER, MINNESOTA 16 1 J Utility Areas and Mechanical Equipment Background Histoncally, utility areas or service entrances were accomodated off of a service alley Today, many of those service alleys or streets are now utilized by pedestnans as entrances from off street parking areas Also, the amount of mechanical equipment has increased dramatically, therefore it is important to minimize the visual impact as much as possible Guidelines • Screen exterior trash and storage areas, service yards, loading areas, transformers and air conditioning units from view of nearby streets and adjacent structures in a manner that is compatible with the buildmg and site design All roof equipment shall be screened from public view • Use architectural elements to screen mechanical equipment In attempting TO create the most aesthetic pedestrian experience possible, it is important to conceal the visually intrusive material from view DESIGN MANUAL COMMERCIAL HISTORIC DISTRICT, STILLWATER, MINNESOT A 17 Detailing Background Downtown Stillwater has an assortment of masonry structures from the 1860's— 1940's m ltahanate, Queen Anne and Classical Revival styles, to name just a few The architectural ornamentation includes a vanety of decorative features characteristic of early commercial storefronts Articulated tm cornices, corbelled brickwork, pronounced window lintels and sills are examples of the ornamentation most often seen in Stillwater's Histonc Downtown District Guidelines • The charactenstic architectural features should never be removed or altered unless it is absolutely necessary • Building alterations should restore architectural details of cornices, lintels, bnck arches, chimneys and ironwork of the ongmal building as appropriate and feasable • Where detailing has already been removed, every effort should be made to replicate them The use of the extensive historic photographic records of Downtown Stillwater is highly recommended to discover missing detaihling • Infill architecture should reflect some of the detailing of surrounding buildings in window shape, cornice lines and bnck work DESIGN MANUAL COMMERCIAL HISTORIC DISTRICT STILLWATER MINNESOTA 18 1 Facade Openings Background It is important to recognize the difference between upper story openings and storefront, or street level openings There is a much greater transparent or glazed open area at storefront level, for pedestrians to have a better view of the merchandise displayed behind, there are wide windows and little or no spacing between openings Upper story openings are predominantly narrow with a vertical orientation that accompanies double -hung windows Guidelines • The size and proportion of windows and door openings of an infill building should be similar to those on the adjacent facades • Avoid infill panels when providing new windows in existing masonry openings • Storefront restoration should return the facade to its ongmal character appropnate • Avoid concealing the onginal facade The majonty of storefronts have very common elements that include (1) entnes, (2) kick plates, (3) display windows, (4) transom windows and a honzontal area for a canopy or sign Transom windows Display windows Entry Kick Plates al all iiNIMIllit i s DESIGN MANUAL, COMMERCIAL HISTORIC DISTRICT, STILLWATER, MINNESOTA 19 Facade Openings 1 TRANSOM WINDOWS Background Transom windows were smaller windows above the display windows that functioned as early energy savers They allowed daylight to enter deep into the intenor of the space When operable, they allowed excessive heat to escape Transoms also continued the transparent quality of the storefront up to the top "frame" of the front facade and are therefore an important element in the proportion of the building front Guidelines Often transom windows can still be found in downtown buildings underneath extenor cover-ups, and or above dropped ceilings They should be retained whenever possible If the ceiling inside the store has been lowered, the ceiling could slope up 2-3 feet back to meet the transom, or dark painted panels can be placed behind transom windows to help simulate transparency and depth 2 DISPLAY WINDOWS Background The display window is the link between the pedestrian environment outside and the business inside Guidelines • A minimum of sixty percent (60%) of the street level Main Street facade shall be transparent and thirty percent (30%) on side streets or rear facades • For remodeling, the onginal size, division and shape of display windows within the overall storefront frame should be preserved • For an infill building, window frames should be wood, or appropriately colored aluminum or vinyl clad • Reflective glass is prohibited • Mirrored or heavily tinted glass on the first floor or street level should not be used because it conveys a conflicting modern design feeling It also creates a blank wall effect, which may be offensive to the pedestrian DESIGN MANUAL COMMERCIAL HISTORIC DISTRICT STILLWATER MINNESOTA 20 1 J Facade Openings 3 ENTRIES Background Commercial storefront entnes were typically recessed from the front plane of the structure This provided a sheltered transition area to the intenor of the store, more area for display space and helped to emphasize the location of the entrance Guidelines • Recessed entnes should be retained m existing buildings and required m new storefront construction • Commercial entry doors use large, glass panels with vertical proportions to aid a sense of invitation and openness to the busmess • Solid or residential -type doors with small areas of glass should be avoided • Openings containing double entry doors should be retained • Painted wood doors and wood framing are preferred Aluminum doors and doorframes, aluminum windows and their accessones with a clear aluminum finish are not acceptable, although colored anodized aluminum is acceptable 4 KICK PLATES Background The kick plate, or bulkhead, functions to protect the display wmdow by raising the glass area to a safer and more easily viewed height Histoncally, matenals have mcluded wood panels, stone, bnck and ceramic tile Guidelines • The original kick plate materials should always be retained, maintained, or uncovered when possible DESIGN MANUAL, COMMERCIAL HISTORIC DISTRICT, STILLWATER, MINNESOTA 21 Materials Background Buildings within the commercial core were constructed with brick, stone or wood Many of the ongmal wood buildings have been lost to fire or decay, leaving the masonry buildings as the lone remnants Compatabihty with smular extenor construction matenals m the immediate area is recommended in order to maintain the distinct character and harmony of the area Guidehnes • An mfill buildmg and facade should be composed of matenals similar to ongmal adjacent facades (example local brick or stone) • New buildings should not stand out against the others but be compatable with the general area • The use of exposed or painted concrete masonry units is not acceptable • The use of materials that attempt to mimic traditional matenals is unacceptable An example would be fiberglass panels that are molded to look like real brick, or vinyl molded to look like wood horizontal lap siding AVOID INRODUCING DISSIMILAR MATERIALS DESIGN MANUAL COMMERCIAL HISTORIC DISTRICT STILLWATER MINNESOTA 22 1 Color Background The relationship of the colors and tones used on new or improved structures must be compatible with the color and tone patterns already established by adjacent buildmgs The tasteful use of color and accent can introduce vanety and charm, whereas the indiscnminate use of colors and color combinations can overload the senses and produce visual conflict and chaos Exercise caution in the use of colors and tone combinations and their patterns The goal is to achieve an area -wide complementary blend of background colors combined with selected and lmuted uses of primary and focal colors GuideLnes • The color of buildings should relate to the adjacent buildings colors to create a harmonious effect • Avoid colors which visually overpower or strongly contrast with adjacent building colors and established downtown color schemes as a whole • The color of beck or other natural building materials should dictate the color family choice • Painting new mfill buildmgs is prohibited DESIGN MANUAL, COMMERCIAL HISTORIC DISTRICT, STILLWATER, MINNESOTA 23 Lighting Background Lightmg can add special character to the nighttime appearance of the Downtown It can illuminate building entrances, pedestrian walkways, and advertising or floodlight special buildmgs However, if left without consideration of the entire downtown expenence, unchecked fighting can produce visual chaos, waste energy and create safety concerns Guidehnes • A coordinated hghtmg plan should be submitted for review with building plans Provide information on each individual fight fixture proposed, including fixture sections, lamp type and wattage • Lighting fixtures should be concealed or integrated into the overall design of the project The light source should be hidden from direct pedestrian or motonst view • Unshielded wall pack light fixtures are not appropnate DESIGN MANUAL COMMERCIAL HISTORIC DISTRICT STILLWATER MINNESOTA 24 1 Awnings Background Histoncally, awnings were a frequent feature of the commercial buildings downtown Photographic records show how the use of awnings softened an otherwise hard and ngid streetscape Their main function was to shade the building and the merchendise, however, they were retractable to allow more daylight in when needed Secondarily, the awnings provided protection for pedestrians and only on occasion did the awning get used for signage Lettenng on the awnings was seen only on the front valance so it was visiable when the awning was either in the lowered or raised position Guidelines • Retractable or operable awning are encouraged Fixed awnings should mimic the profile of operable units (one to one pitch) • The emphasis of the awning should remain one of shelter and protection, rather than signage In keeping with this, the awning should be loose and flowing, not stretched tight, subtle and subdued in color, not bnght, extending well out over the sidewalk, not a mere window dressing • The width of awnings should fit the geometry of the building facade They should not extend across multiple storefronts of different buildings, but should reflect the window or door openings below • The use of water-repellent or vinyl -coated canvas is in keeping with awnings of the time Plastic or aluminum awnings or canopies are not appropnate • Fixed, round -headed awnings will be considered only over arched windows or doors, and only if placed below or within the arched lintel • The awning valance, or skirt, shall be proportioned to the size of the awning But shall not exceed twelve (12) inches in height • Signing on awmngs is permitted (in place of other sign types) on the end panel or front valance only Use lettenng size proportional to the space available • Back lighting of the awnings is inappropnate, • Use plain or striped fabrics Large areas of bnght colors are inappropriate DESIGN MANUAL, COMMERCIAL HISTORIC DISTRICT STILLWATER MINNESOTA

Absent Larry Nelson Mr Lieberman called the meeting to order at 7 p m Approval of minutes Mr Peterson seconded by Mr Eastwood moved approval of the minutes of April 3, 2006 Motion passed unanimously Public Hearings Case No DEM/06-02 Consideration of a request for demolition of a residence at 7143 Manning Ave N Croix Capital Group applicant Mr Tomten recused himself from the Commission's discussion/action and represented Chris Aamodt, Croix Capital Group, Liberty West developers in this matter Mr Tomten stated that in the early design/planning stages of the Liberty West Development, they looked at the reuse of the northerly existing structure However reuse would not work well in the replotting of the property He noted that preservation of trees and working with the topography were priorities in determining the layout of the development and location of interior roads Mr Tomten said they also looked at relocating the structure on site However the cost of moving the building and the potential Toss of trees precluded that option Mr Tomten said they do not have an accurate age of the structure He said the applicant had gone through the required nine steps for a demolition permit Mr Aamodt explained that he had not advertised the building for sale as required because he had spoken with agents and movers who were not interested in purchasing the structure because of the difficulty/cost presented by the trees Mr Aamodt said he did intend to reuse whatever matenals he could materials such as the beams Don Empson 1206 N Second St , said this situation reinforces his recommendation that a survey be conducted of the recently annexation areas because of the presence of historic homes in the annexation areas Although, he said he had not looked at this particular structure Mr Peterson agreed that it would be good to do surveys in conjunction with annexations and suggested that is an issue the Council should look at There was discussion as to what constitutes heritage trees ' Mr Harycki noted the trees on this property are 100-150-year-old oaks Even several residents in the Liberty development offered to give up portions of their yards to preserve these trees, he pointed out There also was discussion as to whether the changes/modifications to the structure in question affected its historical significance Mr Johnson pointed out that from the perspective of the National Park Service criteria for historic listings the continuity of this farmstead is already gone and its impact lost He noted the foundation and some framing dates back to the onginal farmstead but the rest is gone or modified Mr Zahren agreed that with the changes and modifications little of the home is of historical significance i A City of Stillwater Heritage Preservation Commission May 1, 2006 Mr Lieberman said he was a bit troubled by the adequacy of the response to the demolition requirements No 5 and 9 saying that "word of mouth" is not adequate There was discussion as to whether to continue the request pending additional information on items 5 and 9 Mr Aamodt noted that he was dealing with the City mandate to save the trees Demolition is an integral part of the initiation of work on the project and is required due to the pressure to preserve the hentage trees he said Mr Lieberman moved to grant conditional approval of the demolition permit contingent on the applicant submitting to City staff additional information regarding items 5 and 9, if staff deems the information sufficient, demolition can proceed according to the motion Mr Eastwood seconded the motion Motion passed 6-0 Mr Peterson asked if would be possible to determine the age of the structure before demolition takes place Mr Tomten said that would be possible and information could be incorporated into an historic plaque that will be featured in one of the development s open space areas Design Reviews Case No DR/06-17 Design review of parking lot and 25'x50 deck at 101 Third St S (American Legion Post 48) in the CBD Central Business District David Swanson representing American Legion Post 48 Dave Swanson and Jeff Olsen contractor were present Mr Olsen explained the plan is to construct a wood frame deck and 36" retaining wall Lattice work and cedar will cover the exposed area Mr Johnson asked about the style of the lighting fixtures Mr Swanson stated there would be decorative lanterns on each side of the door he noted the door is not a public entrance and is 100' from the sidewalk Mr Johnson asked about the style/color of the masonry units Mr Olsen said the units will be red and black vanegated color to match/blend with the rear of the main building The deck railing will be cedar Mr Johnson moved approval with the two conditions recommended by staff and the additional conditions that the applicant submit additional lantern fixture styles and colors/samples of the masonry units be to staff for approval Mr Peterson seconded the motion Mr Johnson noted the light fixtures should be shielded and more in keeping with the architecture of the main building Motion to approve as conditioned passed unanimously Case No DR/06-19 Design review of a planned unit development for a 45 000-square-foot mixed use retail office and residential use with underground parking in the Central Business District at 227 N Main St Mainstream Development Partnership LLC, applicant Representing Mainstream Development were Vern and Tim Stefan Tim Stefan provided a model of the building and described proposed materials and provided color samples of brick and copper shingles The building would house retail use on the first floor office space on the second level and seven condominium units on the third level and loft area The main points of discussion centered on the height and potential requirement for a demolition permit As proposed the new structure would be 42' to the roof parapet Mr Eastwood asked about the newly -adopted height overlay district and whether the maximum allowable height is 3 stories or 35 Mr Turnblad said the intent of the ordinance is a maximum or 3 stories Mr Harycki asked about the mfill height restriction limiting a new structure to a maximum of 10 percent higher than adjacent properties Mr Harycki said he would like clarification regarding 2 I City of Stillwater Hentage Preservation Commission May 1 2006 the height restrictions and said he was unwilling to abandon the new ordinance on the first test case It was noted that the height issue and parking issues require variances and are issues the Planning Commission will have to deal with Regarding the requirement for a demolition permit, Tim Stefan said he had been unable to determine the age of the structure Mr Johnson noted that Maple Island provided diary products during WW II and the structure likely dates back to that time Mr Peterson suggested that building permits and property abstracts would be helpful in determining the age of the structure and noted it was the applicant s charge to determine that Mr Lieberman and Mr Johnson suggested it would be premature to consider the application until it is determined whether a demolition permit is required Mr Turnblad said it is the City Attorney s opinion that the demolition issue can be considered separate from the design review process It was agreed to provide design comments, with the understanding that the HPC does not approve or disapprove of the application until the demolition issue is resolved Mr Tomten said he thought the proposed setbacks enhance the streetscape He noted that is was not uncommon histoncally for buildings on corners to get precedence, be larger and more prominent and said he thought the applicant had a good job in scaling the building in relation to the adjacent buildings He also spoke in favor of the use of glazing/fenestrations on the Main Street elevation that differentiate the office use from the residential use There was a question about roof penetrations Tim Stefan said the proposal is to have an active rooftop with pool and deck Tim Stefan said the only rooftop mechanicals not screened would be two 3x3 air conditioning units which could be housed inside the building if preferred Mr Zahren asked if there would be any greenery on the roof Mr Stefan replied that there likely would be some planters Mr Johnson asked about the use of the towers on the corners Tim Stefan said the towers are used to signify entries Mr Johnson suggested the towers do not serve that purpose on the Water Street elevation Mr Stefan asked for input regarding the Water Street elevation and the proposed loading dock and access to the underground parking area Mr Johnson said he thought the loading dock works well as it carries through the industrial look of that elevation and picks up the details of the other buildings Mr Lieberman said he liked the differentiation in setbacks the idea of an active rooftop and said he was not uncomfortable with the direction of the design if the other hurdles are met Mr Eastwood said he thought the biggest issue was the massing of the building he also said building setbacks are not part of the downtown design guidelines Mr Lieberman moved to invite the applicant back to the June HPC meeting for a closer design review or to hold a public hearing on a demolition permit if that is needed and issued and then move to a more detailed design review In the interim, Mr Lieberman said he hoped the Planning Commission and Council would deal with the non-HPC issues Mr Johnson seconded the motion, clarifying this was conceptual consideration of the design only The applicant was advised to work with Mr Turnblad in an effort to determine whether a demolition permit is needed before the next HPC meeting Motion passed unanimously 3 City of Stillwater Planning Commission May 8 2006 Present Robert Gag, chairperson Suzanne Block Gregg Carlsen, Mike Dahlquist David Junker Brad Meinke, Dave Middleton David Peroceschi and Paul Teske Others Community Development Director Bill Turnblad and Planner Bob Lockyear Mr Gag called the meeting to order at 7 p m Approval of minutes Mr Middleton, seconded by Mr Dahlquist moved approval of the minutes of ApnI10 2006 Ms Block noted a correction in the minutes related to Case No V/02-10 — the minutes should have indicated that neighbors were not noticed of the meeting Motion to accept the minutes as corrected passed unanimously Case No PUD/06-10 A concept planned unit development for a 10-lot development on 5+ acres (Brown s Creek Reserve) in the AP Agricultural Preservation District Tim Freeman Folz Freeman Enckson, Inc Mr Turnblad briefly reviewed the site The proposed development abuts the Millbrook development with trail and road connections between the two Lots for the Brown s Creek Reserve range from 10 000-12 000 square feet Until the road connections between Millbrook and this development are completed, there would be temporary access off Neal Avenue he said He also noted the Parks Board had recommended that the City accept cash in lieu of park dedication, the cash would be in addition to trails and sidewalks He said staff recommends concept approval with four conditions of approval Mr Freeman noted that the driving force for doing the development at this time is the need to get utilities through this site to serve the Millbrook development He noted that in an effort to preserve trees, houses have been moved forward to the street He also spoke of the effort to keep the development consistent with the surrounding neighborhoods He stated that with the ponding/infiltration as proposed there will be an improvement in the water quality going into Brown's Creek Mr Middleton asked about the changes from the last time the proposal came before the Planning Commission Mr Freeman said there were a lot of minor changes The major changes include the reduction in the number of Tots and the location of the permanent access off Neal Avenue Ms Block asked about the timing of this development in relation to the Millbrook development whether construction would coincide with Millbrook s phase 1 or phase 3 Mr Freeman responded the hope is to proceed in conjunction with Millbrook s phase 1 Mr Gag opened the hearing to public comment No comments were received, and the hearing was closed Mr Junker said he applauded the effort and changes that had gone into the proposal He said he agreed with the Park Board's recommendation for the acceptance of cash in lieu of parkland dedication in this instance and said he also would like to see the sidewalk along Neal Avenue extended to the property line t 1 ,+ City of Stillwater Planning Commission May 8 2006 Ms Block expressed a concern about the timing of construction citing concerns about noise truck traffic, dust and dirt from construction, and the safety of children in the adjacent neighborhoods She asked if sewer could be extended to serve the Mdibrook development without proceeding with construction of Brown s Creek Reserve until Millbrook's phase 3 Mr Tumblad said that had been a major discussion item and noted that the Joint Board feels the timing of this development as proposed is acceptable Mr Dahlquist questioned the rationale for the proposed 2 4 units per acre as compared to the Comprehensive Plan which indicates a density of 2 0 or fewer units per acre Mr Teske said he thought the proposal seemed to be a good match with the three surrounding neighborhoods Mr Carlsen expressed a concem about setting a precedent with the phasing of the Annexation Agreement Mr Teske pointed out that if the Millbrook developers had been able to purchase this site development would have proceeded at this time Mr Gag said he like the size of the lots and was comfortable with the proposal Mr Teske, seconded by Mr Middleton moved approval with the four conditions recommended by staff and the additional conditions that the sidewalk along Neal Avenue be extended north to the property line and south to McKusick Road and that the City accept cash in lieu of parkland dedication Motion passed 8-1 with Ms Block voting no Case No V/06-11 This case was withdrawn as a variance was not required Case No PUD/SUP/CUPN/SUB/06-12 A planned unit development special use permit, conditional use permit variance and lot combination for a 45 000-square foot mixed use retail office and residential use at 227 N Main St in the CBD Central Business District Mainstream Development Partnership LLC applicant Representing Mainstream Development were Tim Stefan and Vern Stefan Mr Turnblad reviewed the site and the plans for construction of a four -level 56,000-square foot building the final phase in the development of the former Maple Island site Mr Turnblad noted the proposal requires two variances — a variance to the infill height standards and a variance to the number of parking spaces provided Mr Turnblad explained that according to the infill height regulations the maximum allowable height would be 31 feet as compared to the proposed 48' Regarding parking the proposed uses would require the provision of 128 spaces while 31 spaces would be provided, he said Vern Stefan reviewed the timeline of the Maple Island development beginning in 1988 He spoke to the TIF agreement and parking and easement agreements between Mainstream Development and the City He said plans for this final phase of the development were presented in mid-2005, when they were given "tacit" approval to proceed with the design of phase 3 Tim Stefan reviewed the design plans and building materials The access off Water Street to the underground parking area will raise the building above the flood plain, he noted As proposed the first floor of the building would provide community retail space the second floor would house a single office tenant with condominium units on the third floor with loft space above Mr Stefan said without the loft the building would be back to a flat roof with the potential for the 2 City of Stillwater Planning Commission May 8 2006 same problems as being experienced with another downtown development He said plans are to have an active roof space The hearing was opened for public comment Mark Bender, whose law firm is a tenant in the phase 1 Maple Island building said his firm is interested in leasing the second floor space in the proposed phase 3 building He spoke of the "serious need" for additional commercial space in the downtown He also stated that eliminating the current construction traffic there seems to be adequate parking in the area After additional discussion regarding the agreements with the City regarding parking lot improvements and easement, discussion was returned to the Commission Mr Junker said he liked the design and proposed use of the building but suggested the requested 97 space parking variance was "pretty strong " He also said he would like to stay within the 31' height limit required by the infill height regulations Mr Middleton said he liked the concept, but was concerned about parking Mr Dahlquist noted while the Commission has given some variances related to retail space those variances didn t include office and residential uses and said he thought parking would be a real problem Mr Dahlquist also said he thought the proposed mass/height of the building was a little out of character Mr Gag said parking is always an issue in the downtown area and said he was most concerned about the proposed height While he said he thought a mixed use development was ideal for the location, Mr Teske said there is a reason for infill regulations and suggested that the proposed mass and scale of the structure dwarfs the building to the south Mr Carlsen and Mr Meinke agreed with the concerns regarding the mass/scale of the building In response to a procedural question, Mr Turnblad noted the denial of the required variances would result in the denial of the SUP, CUP and subdivision Mr Turnblad suggested that if denied the Commission deny the SUP without prejudice which would allow the proposal to come back within a year Mr Junker, seconded by Mr Meinke, moved to deny approval No 3, the infill height requirement Motion passed 8-1 with Mr Peroceschi opposed Mr Junker seconded by Mr Dahlquist moved to deny approval No 4 variance from the parking requirements Motion passed 8-1, with Mr Peroceschi opposed Mr Dahlquist, seconded by Mr Junker moved to deny approvals No 1 and 2 special use permit for a private parking facility and special use permit for residential units in the CBD without prejudice Motion passed unanimously Mr Junker, seconded by Mr Carlsen moved to deny approvals No 5 and 6 variances to allow building improvements, without prejudice Motion passed unanimously It was noted that items No 8 and 9 demolition permit and design review permit were Heritage Preservation Commission issues 3 1 1 1 1

2006 Page 2 HISTORY OF CUB FOODS STORE IN STILLWATER MARKETPLACE PUD The Project Site which includes the existing 89,244 square foot Cub Foods store and its associated parking lot is located within the Stillwater Marketplace planned unit development ("Stillwater Marketplace PUD") The Stillwater Marketplace PUD is a phased retail commercial development in the vicinity of Market Drive and Curve Crest Boulevard The first phase of Stillwater Marketplace PUD consisted of the Cub Foods store, the Target store and other smaller retail uses, the second phase of the Stillwater Marketplace PUD included development of additional commercial uses on 15 new lots east and west of Market Drive with a uniform design theme consistent with City and Stillwater Marketplace PUD design guidelines On June 7, 1993, the City Design Review Committee reviewed the Stillwater Marketplace PUD and recommended approval of the requested design permit with conditions, upon finding the Stillwater Marketplace PUD consistent with the West Stillwater Business Park Design Guidelines On July 20, 1993, the Stillwater City Council approved a planned unit development permit for the Stillwater Marketplace PUD, upon finding the development consistent with the Stillwater West Business Park Plan, an element of the Comprehensive Plan, and all applicable zoning requirements Also, on July 20, 1993, the City Council approved the subdivision of the Stillwater Marketplace PUD, upon finding it consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, the Zoning Ordinance, and the Subdivision Ordinance On September 20, 1993, the City Council approved the final plat for the Stillwater Marketplace PUD Finally, on December 6, 1994, the City Council approved the preliminary and final plat for a major subdivision of three outlots proposed for commercial development, collectively constituting the second phase of Stillwater Marketplace PUD The Stillwater Marketplace PUD approval record indicates that the overall development would have coordinated building design, materials, landscaping, signage and parking "to achieve maximum community benefit" (Stillwater Marketplace PUD Planning Department Staff Report, June 14, 1993) as required by the West Stillwater Business Park Plan The Applicant considered the Stillwater Marketplace PUD record in preparing Project plans and this Application WEST STILLWATER BUSINESS PARK PLAN AND ZONING REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO THE PROPOSED PROJECT ON THE PROJECT SITE West Stillwater Business Park Plan The West Stillwater Business Park Plan ("West Stillwater Plan") was adopted by the Stillwater City Council on February 6, 1990 as an amendment to the Stillwater Comprehensive Plan The West Stillwater Plan area is generally bounded by Long, Lake State Highway 36, South Greeley and West Orleans Streets The West Stillwater Plan designates the Project Site and a substantial portion of the Stillwater Marketplace PUD for retail commercial development The retail commercial land use designation was proposed to be implemented by adoption of new Business Park commercial zoning Bill Turnblad May 26, 2006 Page 3 The Project Site is part of Special Site 1, which includes the existing Cub Foods store and the Stillwater Marketplace PUD The West Stillwater Plan contemplates development of coordinated site design, landscaping, building materials, signage, and parking through a special use permit and design guidelines process The West Stillwater Plan also includes design guidelines to ensure consistent, high -quality development in the West Stillwater Plan area ("West Stillwater Design Guidelines") The West Stillwater Design Guidelines include architectural standards, landscape standards, signage standards, and site plan standards The Applicant paid considerable attention to the West Stillwater Design Guidelines in preparing Project plans and this Application In a subsequent section, this letter -memorandum includes a description of the Project's compliance with the West Stillwater Design Guidelines Existing Business Park Commercial (BP-C) District Zoning Regulations The Project Site is zoned BP-C Business Park Commercial District The purpose of the BP-C District is to provide a district for general community commercial and office uses (Zoning Ordinance, Section 31-1, subd 19(1)) The existing Cub Foods store on the Project Site is a permitted use in the BP-C District Based on the unique characteristics of the proposed Project as described in subsequent sections of this letter -memorandum, City staff advised the Applicant that the Project is an accessory use to the Cub Foods store and is of similar character to automotive -related services that are allowed by special use permit in the BP-C District Additionally, in non-residential PUDs, such as the Stillwater Marketplace PUD, uses allowed are those permitted by the underlying zoning district or approved by the Planning Commission by issuance of a special use permit Based on this direction from staff, this Application includes a request for approval of a special use permit for the proposed Project The BP-C District establishes maximum height, minimum lot area, setbacks, maximum impervious surface coverage, and minimum landscaped area requirements The Applicant considered BP-C general regulations to the extent applicable The BP-C District incorporates by reference the West Stillwater Design Guidelines As noted above, the Applicant carefully considered the West Stillwater Design Guidelines in preparation of Project plans The submitted Application includes a request for Heritage Preservation Commission ("HPC") approval of a design permit for the Project upon demonstration of consistency with the adopted West Stillwater Design Guidelines Other Applicable Zoning Regulations Subdivision 25 of the Zoning Ordinance (Section 31-1, subd 25(3)) establishes required off- street parking requirements for specified land uses As described in a subsequent section of this letter -memorandum, the Project does not include a convenience store or automobile service or repair, therefore, the general retail parking requirement applies, which requires one space for Bill Turnblad May 26, 2006 Page 4 each 200 feet of gross floor area As shown on the submitted Preliminary Site Plan, the Project Site currently includes 580 spaces dedicated to the Cub Foods store Construction of the proposed Project will remove 116 spaces, but will also add 26 additional spaces in other locations This results in a net parking loss of 90 spaces on the Project Site The net post -Project parking ratio on the Project Site is 5 5 spaces per 1,000 square feet, which exceeds the Zoning Ordinance requirement Subdivision 26 of the Zoning Ordinance (Section 31-1, subd 26) establishes general sign regulations for the community This section establishes requirements for building wall, free- standing, awning and marquee signage Automobile service stations with service bays are governed by special sign regulations that allow one wall sign and one free-standing ground sign None of these general signage requirements clearly applies to the proposed Project because of its unique characteristics The West Stillwater Design Guidelines also include provisions regulating signs in the West Stillwater area Most of these special standards do not apply because they relate to wall or free-standing building signage The general intent, however, of the West Stillwater Design Guidelines, as applied to the Stillwater Marketplace PUD and the Project Site is to achieve a coordinated signage theme with identification lettering and colors compatible with building design, building materials and colors The submitted Project signage plans conform to this general signage criteria as documented in a subsequent section of this letter -memorandum DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT ON THE PROJECT SITE Proposed Uses The Project will be a Cub Fuel Express fuel center (registered logo) developed by the Applicant to broaden and enhance the shopping experience of customers at its Stillwater Marketplace Cub Foods store No convenience food items or automotive equipment or products will be sold, and there will be no automotive repair A roving attendant will assist disabled customers and others needing assistance The Project is an expansion of the one -stop shopping concept that resulted in the addition of a floral department, banking, and, most recently, drive-thru pharmacy services to the Cub Foods store A key element of the proposed Project is Cub Foods' new merchandising and marketing initiative in the Stillwater area that ties grocery store sales to fuel purchases at the Cub Fuel Express on the Project Site The overall intent is to "reward" the Cub customer with a fuel discount based upon the size and frequency of each purchase or transaction, the more the Cub customer spends in the Cub Foods store, the greater the potential fuel discount In this manner, Cub will continue to deliver additional value to customers in the Stillwater community In addition, further consideration is underway to provide grocery store discounts to customers who are using the Cub Fuel Express on the Project Site for their normal fuel purchase As a result of this program, it is anticipated that about 80% of the fuel center customers will also visit the Cub Foods store Bill Turnblad May 26, 2006 Page 5 The proposed Project is an integral component of the Applicant's commitment to reinforcing its current position as the value leader in the Stillwater community The proposed addition of fuel services culminates a three-year, $4 2 million remodeling program at the Stillwater Marketplace Cub Foods store Among the improvements are exterior painting and new signage, all new interior store decor, upgrades to the frozen foods and self-service frozen delicatessen areas, relocation of the floral department, remodeling and upgrading of the liquor store, remodeling and upgrading of natural foods, dairy, meat and seafood cases, new pizza and sandwich cases, all new salad bar and cheese cases, and the addition of a drive-thru window for the pharmacy department The Applicant considers the Cub Fuel Express, in concert with its substantial improvements to the Cub Foods store, to be critical to providing its Stillwater customers the finest shopping experience December 2005 Application for Approval of Proposed Proiect on the Proiect Site On December 19, 2005, the Applicant applied to the City for approval of a special use permit for the proposed Cub Fuel Express and the drive-thru pharmacy ("Previous Application") As described below, the fuel center component of the Previous Application differed in several significant respects from the current Application First, it included six multiple petroleum dispensers providing twelve total fueling positions Secondly, it proposed a prototypical fuel center canopy and column design that did not incorporate the brick and masonry building materials and colors of the Stillwater Marketplace Cub Foods store Thirdly, it did no separate the fuel center area from the Cub parking lot Fourth, it did not include a detailed landscape plan Fifth, it did not include details concerning stormwater pollutant filtration Lastly, it did not include a traffic and parking analysis prepared by a consulting traffic engineer The Planning Department staff report on the Previous Application recommended approval of the drive-thru pharmacy, but denial of the fuel center component of the submittal The staff report did not specify the basis for its recommendation On January 4, 2006, the Heritage Preservation Commission ("HPC") met to consider design review of both components of the Previous Application The HPC approved the design of the drive-thru pharmacy as conditioned, but continued the fuel center request " pending revisions to be more consistent with the PUD " HPC members expressed concern that the proposed fuel center did not reflect the building design, materials or colors of the primary Cub Foods store, as required by the West Stillwater Design Guidelines and the Stillwater Marketplace PUD One HPC member suggested use of masonry material which would reinforce the connection between the proposed fuel center and the Cub Foods store Other members expressed concern about the canopy lighting and recommended that it be recessed or shielded to direct illumination downward On January 9, 2006, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the special use permit for both components of the Previous Application The Planning Commission's stated concerns regarding the submitted fuel center site plan and prototypical design were substantially similar to those of the HPC No comments were received from the public The Planning Commission approved the special use permit for the drive-thru pharmacy and, although the Planning Bill Turnblad May 26, 2006 Page 6 Commission minutes are not clear, denied the special use permit for the fuel center, citing concerns about " the aesthetics of the design and traffic pattems " The Applicant appealed HPC's denial of the design permit and the Planning Commission's denial of the special use permit for the Previous Application, respectively, to the City Council The Applicant appeared at the February 7, 2006 City Council meeting to request the City Council to deny the Previous Application without prejudice to submittal of a revised application within one year This request was made in order to address the Zoning Ordinance prohibition on resubmittal of denied or withdrawn applications that are not denied without prejudice (Zoning Ordinance, Section 31 1, subd 29(19)) On February 7, 2006, the City Council granted the Applicant's request and voted unanimously to deny the fuel center component of the Previous Application without prejudice The February 7 minutes indicate that Councilmember Junker thought the Planning Commission would be receptive to looking at a new proposal and that Mr Lieberman said the HPC was also similarly inclined We, as special counsel for the Applicant, agreed to waive the 60-day rule Subsequently, we and the City attorney agreed that the current Application constitutes a substantially revised proposal and, consequently, should be considered a new application for purposes of applying Minn Stat § 15 99, commonly referred to as the 60- day law The Current Application for the Proposed Project The current Cub Fuel Express Project proposed for the Project Site modifies substantially the Previous Application to address staff, HPC, Planning Commission and City Council comments and to achieve consistency with the West Stillwater Design Guidelines and the Stillwater Marketplace PUD The most significant modifications to the Previous Application are • Reduction in size of the fuel center (five petroleum dispensers are now proposed, as compared to six with the Previous Application) • Replacement of previous prototypical design with architectural design, materials and colors substantially similar to the building design, materials and colors of the Cub Foods store • Addition of landscape island to separate fuel center activity from the food store parking lot • Inclusion of filtration system in existing catch basins to treat stormwater runoff prior to discharge to the stormwater system • Provision of detailed landscape plan for new plantings complementary to Stillwater Marketplace landscape theme • Inclusion of recessed flat lens canopy lighting to direct lighting downward Bill Turnblad May 26, 2006 Page 7 • Inclusion of fuel center canopy Cub Fuel Express and pricing signage with design and colors complementary to the Cub Foods store • Traffic and parking analysis prepared by Westwood Professional Services, consulting traffic engineers, including analysis of site layout, trip generation and intersection capacity, parking impacts, and truck access and circulation Site and Landscape Plans The site layout for the proposed Project is designed to provide a functional and visual separation between the fuel center and the grocery store customer parking lot, to maintain vehicle and pedestrian safety and to provide safe and functional automobile and fuel tanker truck access and circulation As shown on Exhibit A Colored Landscape Plan, the Project is located at the west edge of the Cub parking lot, and a perpendicular landscape island is proposed to create a defined space for the fuel activity This design contains the general vehicle circulation within the main lot, thereby avoiding situations where a driver who traverses an entire row of parking might attempt to circulate through the fuel center before returning another row of parking The addition of the landscaped island results in a 37% net gain in green space as compared to the existing landscaped area A total of 3,277 square feet of landscape islands will be removed to construct the Project and a total of 4,485 square feet of landscape material will be incorporated into the new landscaped islands New plant materials installed in Project's landscaped islands will be the same materials as utilized throughout the Stillwater Marketplace PUD The Project layout results in a relatively small loss of parking spaces in the Cub parking lot As described in greater detail under the traffic and parking section below, the Project still exceeds zoning ordinance off-street parking requirements and adequately accommodates existing and projected customer parking needs The Applicant's consulting traffic engineer has also determined that the site layout adequately accommodates fuel tanker truck access and circulation, while insuring customer vehicle and pedestrian safety See the traffic and parking section below for further discussion Architectural Design, Building Materials and Colors In response to City concerns regarding the Previous Application's prototypical architecture and materials, the Applicant now proposes a new, customized project design complementary to the Stillwater Marketplace Cub Foods store and consistent with the West Stillwater Design Guidelines The fuel center columns are masonry to match the canopy columns at the Cub Foods store All four sides of the small mechanical building shown on the site plan are masonry to match the fuel center and Cub Foods store canopies The Cub Foods Dusty Rose color will be used, together with an accent gray color compatible with the Cub Foods store The fuel center canopy and fuel center canopy cornice are EIFS with colors to match the Cub Bill Turnblad May 26, 2006 Page 8 Foods store Prefinished metal roofing is also proposed See the submitted Preliminary Elevations for additional details The Applicant's consultants studied visual images of the proposed Project from vantage points along Market Drive and Curve Crest Boulevard The locations of the visual images are shown on Exhibit B, Image Key Exhibit C is a visual image from Curve Crest Boulevard and Exhibits D and E are two different visual images from Market Drive They illustrate the high quality of the new Project design and its compatibility with the visual environment of the Stillwater Marketplace PUD and the Cub Foods store Stormwater Plan Although the Project does not alter existing grades or add new impervious surface, stormwater treatment considerations were important factors in formulating the site layout and submitted utility plan The perpendicular landscaped island shown on Exhibit A prevents stormwater runoff, which flows from the east to the west, from draining across the fuel center surface The island diverts and directs stormwater to two concrete swales constructed in the island, opposite the ends of the canopy area, which allows water to then flow to the existing catch basins along the west parking lot curb line without draining near the fuel pumps To further protect the stormwater system from potential fuel contamination, the Applicant proposes to install HYDRO-KLEEN filters in each catch basin along the west curb line The filters, which fit within the existing catch basins without the need for reconstruction, include a diverter shield to divert flow to a sediment chamber prior to discharge into the stormwater system The filters are typically replaced every six months to ensure maximum treatment efficiency In addition, Project attendants are trained in spill containment, they are equipped with special kits to contain spilled oil on site pending proper disposal Lighting As recommended by staff in its review of the Previous Application, the fuel center canopy lighting will be a recessed flat lens to direct illumination downward and avoid spill over from the Project Site No additional parking lot lighting is proposed for the Project, although a small number of existing parking lot light poles will either be removed or relocated to accommodate Project construction Bill Turnblad May 26, 2006 Page 9 Signage There are no freestanding signs proposed to identify the proposed Project Project signage includes two back lit Cub Fuel Express canopy signs with red, yellow and white colors to coordinate with the Cub Foods wall sign colors and two lit (LED) pricing signs This complies with the sign ordinance Traffic and Parking The Application included a Traffic and Parking Analysis, dated May 19, 2006 prepared by Westwood Professional Services ("Westwood Traffic Study") This letter -memorandum summarizes the Westwood Traffic Study findings They are • Based on peak period turning movement traffic counts and visual observations, the north site access onto Curve Crest Boulevard and the west site access onto Market Drive operate at acceptable levels of service during the Saturday afternoon peak hour, the busiest time of the day • The Project layout maintains vehicle and pedestrian safety in the parking area, allows two-way flow, and provides sufficient depth back to the landscape island for vehicles to circulate around a stopped vehicle that is fueling • At the Cub stores already opened with fuel centers, Cub tracking shows that about 80% of the fuel center patrons visit the food store before or after fueling These fuel purchases are not new trips on the external roadway system, but merely a linked trip within the store parking lot Based on this analysis, Westwood concludes that " only a small number of new trips will be added to the roadway network Given the location of the fuel center, the additional new trips will principally be oriented to the west access onto Market Drive, where the primary movement out of the site is a right turn The addition of a minimal amount of new fuel center traffic to the Market Drive or Curve Crest intersections will not degrade their performance " (Westwood Traffic Study, p 7) • Construction of the Project results in a net loss of 90 parking spaces The Cub store is 89,244 square feet Even with a reduction of 90 spaces, the parking count will be 5 5 spaces per 1,000 square feet, a ratio that exceeds the Zoning Ordinance requirement for a grocery use • The Project will be served by fuel tanker trucks for storage tank fueling The proposed circulation pattern calls for trucks to approach the site from Market Boulevard, enter through the main drive, and then circulate through the northwest portion of the lot to access the tanks Westwood used the AutoTurn program to check the turn radii This analysis shows that one internal site island needs to be altered to Bill Turnblad May 26, 2006 Page 10 allow smooth inbound movement of the trucks The AutoTurn program was also used to evaluate outbound truck movements Tanker trunks will exit out to Curve Crest Boulevard No internal site modifications are required to accommodate this movement (See Figure C, Westwood Traffic Study, Figures 4 and 5) COMPLIANCE WITH FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL OF SPECIAL USE PERMIT AND DESIGN PERMIT Special Use Permit Zoning Ordinance Section 31-1, subd 30(1)(d) enumerates the findings that the Planning Commission must make to approve a special use permit They are 1) The proposed structure or use conforms to the requirements and the intent of this chapter and of the comprehensive plan relevant area plans and other lawful regulations The Project is consistent with the retail commercial designation in the West Stillwater Plan Staff finds that the Project is an accessory commercial use to the existing Cub Foods store in the Stillwater Marketplace PUD and is allowed upon approval of a special use permit by the Planning Commission As described throughout this letter - memorandum and in the Application, generally, the Project complies with the Zoning Ordinance, the West Stillwater Design Guidelines, and all other applicable regulations 2) Any additional conditions necessary for the public interest have been imposed The City has authority under state law to impose conditions reasonably necessary to achieve conformance with applicable zoning requirements The Applicant will review conditions recommended by staff and the Planning Commission and will indicate at the Planning Commission public hearing if it has any questions, comments or concerns regarding any proposed permit conditions 3) The use or structure will not constitute a nuisance or be detrimental to the public welfare of the community The Project will not constitute a nuisance It is designed to conform to City land use, zoning and design guidelines and criteria It will provide an additional service for Cub customers and other visitors to the Stillwater Marketplace development, thereby enhancing the overall shopping experience and ensuring the long-term viability of the Applicant's significant capital investment in the community The Project will be built of high -quality masonry, EIFS, and metal accent materials to match and complement the building materials and colors of the existing Cub Foods store A landscaped island Bill Turnblad May 26, 2006 Page 11 separates the fuel center activity from vehicular and pedestrian activity in the food store parking lot New plantings will utilize the Stillwater Marketplace PUD landscape theme and will result in a 1,208 square foot net gain in green space Stormwater runoff will be directed to existing catch basins that will be equipped with a new filtration system to skim off pollutants pnor to discharge to the City's stormwater system The Project will add a relatively small number of net new trips to the roadway system and will not affect the existing acceptable levels of service at the two main access points to the public roadway system Fuel transport truck access and circulation meets acceptable engineering design standards as determined by the Applicant's consulting traffic engineer and will not create undue adverse impacts in the parking lot As shown on the submitted colored landscape plan and visual images, the Project will not detract from the high quality of the Stillwater Marketplace PUD and will provide an attractive visual image from vantage points along Market Drive and Curve Crest Boulevard Lighting will be recessed and directed downward No additional free-standing signs are proposed Design Permit The Project meets the special findings for issuance of a design permit in the West Stillwater Business Park Plan area They are • The action proposed is consistent with the goals of the West Business Park Plan The fuel center land use is compatible with existing commercial land uses in the Stillwater Marketplace PUD (see submitted plans, this letter -memorandum and the Westwood Traffic Study) It is expected that about 80% of the customers to the fuel center will also shop at the Cub Foods store This enhances the trend to one -stop shopping that has resulted in the addition of a floral department, a bank, and a dnve-thru pharmacy to the Cub Foods store The Project meets the area design goal of compatibility with the West Stillwater Design Guidelines (see below) The Project meets the prohibition on pole buildings, standard concrete block buildings, or buildings constructed of metal siding The Project does not affect the existing screening of Cub parking areas The fuel center node will be screened and buffered by a new perpendicular landscaped island that will result in a 37% net gain of green space in the Project area • The action proposed will not be detrimental to a structure or feature of significant aesthetic cultural architectural or engineering interest or value of a historical nature The Project does not affect a structure or feature of significant aesthetic, cultural, architectural or engineering interest or historical significance • Design of the project conforms to the design guidelines and streetscape and pedestrian pathway plans Bill Turnblad May 26, 2006 Page 12 The Project complies with the architectural standards, landscape standards, sign criteria and site plan criteria set forth on pages 20-21 of the West Stillwater Design Guidelines The following summarizes the Project's compatibility with the pertinent provisions • The previous prototypical Project design has been replaced by a new, customized design that utilizes masonry columns and EIFS canopy and cornice details to match the materials and colors of the existing Cub Foods store Metal is an accent material on the canopy and mechanical house roofing No prohibited exterior materials are utilized • The mechanical building is low profile It is finished on all four sides with the same masonry as the Cub Foods store and the proposed fuel center canopy columns • Architectural consistency with the Stillwater Marketplace PUD is achieved in terms of color, matenals, and details on all four sides of the fuel center canopy and mechanical house • Construction of the Project does not affect the Project Site's continuing compliance with landscape standards Moreover, the Project results in a net gain of green space and provides an attractive screened and buffered visual image from adjacent roadways No prohibited tree species will be installed New plantings will be substantially the same type, size and species as existing plantings on the Project Site • Project signage conforms to the sign ordinance No new free-standing signs are proposed • Canopy lighting will be a flat recessed lens to direct the light downward and shield it from adjacent properties and roadways Lighting will be contained on the Project Site • That any additional conditions stipulated as necessary in the public interest have been imposed As noted above, the Applicant will conform to reasonable conditions imposed by HPC on issuance of the design permit The Applicant will review any suggested design permit conditions and indicate its position regarding those conditions at the HPC public meeting • That such design shall not constitute a visual nuisance or be detrimental to the unique design qualities of the area See response to similar finding above required for issuance of special use permit Bill Turnblad May 26, 2006 Page 13 In conclusion, the current Application responds to staff, HPC, Planning Commission and City Council comments on the Previous Application, conforms to West Stillwater Plan land use goals and objectives, complies with the West Stillwater Design Guidelines and the Zoning Ordinance, and meets applicable findings for approval of the special use permit and design permit Sincerely, Linda H Fisher, for Larkin Hoffman Daly & Lindgren Ltd Direct Dial Direct Fax 952 896 3210 952 842 1724

31, 2006 CASE NO 06-24DR LOCATION 1801 Market Drive HPC REVIEW DATE June 5, 2006 REVIEWERS Interim Public Works Director, City Planner, Community Development Director PREPARED BY Bill Turnblad, Community Development Directo' BACKGROUND SuperValu is investing m its Stillwater Marketplace Cub Foods Store in order to create a more complete one -stop shopping experience for its Stillwater area customers Recently the Heritage Preservation Commission (HPC) reviewed a design for a drive -through pharmacy and a fuel station intended largely for Cub Food shoppers The drive - through pharmacy was approved, but the fuel station design review was continued since the HPC found the building design, materials and colors to be inconsistent with both the design manual for the West Stillwater Business Park and the architectural considerations of the Stillwater Marketplace PUD Subsequently, the Planning Commission denied the Special Use Permit for the accessory fuel station based upon concerns that mirrored those of the HPC The applicant appealed the denial to the City Council m order to have the denial revised to a "denial without prejudice" The City Council granted the "denial without prejudice" status, which allowed the applicant to revise the accessory fuel station plans and bring them back to the City prior to expiration of the mandatory one-year waiting period Cub Foods Fuel Station Page 2 SPECIFIC REQUEST In order to develop the accessory fuel station for the Cub Foods Store, SuperValu has requested the following City approvals 1 Special Use Permit for an Accessory Fuel Station, 2 Design Review Perrrut since the subject property lies within the West Stillwater Business Park, and 3 Sign Permit Review smce the West Stillwater Business Park Plan requires it The Heritage Preservation Commission is charged with reviewing both sign permit applications and building designs m the West Stillwater Business Park Therefore, the HPC should review and take action on Items #2 and #3 above The Planning Commission will review and take action on Item #1 EVALUATION OF REQUEST I Design Review As noted above, the property is located within the West Stillwater Business Park Consequently, the design standards found in the West Stillwater Business Park Plan apply to the project Moreover, since the project site lies within the Stillwater Marketplace PUD area, the conditions of approval for the PUD apply to the requested accessory fuel station City Staff offers the following comments 1 The revised site plan satisfactorily addresses the building material, site design and traffic concerns expressed by the HPC and Planning Commission 2 The applicable design review standards are fairly and comprehensively addressed in the applicant's attached letter Please refer to it for additional comments II Sign Review a Details SuperValu does not propose any new freestanding signs for the project The only signs being proposed would be located on the face of the canopy Each long face of the canopy would have two signs One would be a "Cub Fuel Express" sign It would measure Cub Foods Fuel Station Page 3 20 36 feet by 3 0 feet, for a total area of 61 1 square feet Its background color matches the color band on the grocery store The other would be a gas price sign It would measure 6 66 feet by 3 0 feet, for a total area of 30 square feet b Performance Standards i The West Business Park Design Guidelines state on Page 21, Paragraph 3 that retail signs are to be consistent with the City's Sign Ordinance ii The Sign Ordinance, codified as City Code Chapter 31-1, Subd 26 includes BP zoning district performance standards for canopy signs in Paragraph (9)c The Cub Foods store is located within a BP zonung district 1 The gross area of a canopy sign can not exceed 50% of the canopy surface area The long face of the canopy has an area of over 700 square feet The total proposed square feet of signage per long canopy face is less than 100 feet Therefore the 50% coverage standard is not exceeded by the proposed signage 2 A sign may be located upon any canopy 3 A canopy sign may not project higher than the top of the canopy, which the proposed signs would not do ALTERNATIVES The Heritage Preservation Commission has the following options 1 Approve both the design review and the sign review as submitted 2 Deny the design review and/or the sign review if the commission does not find the proposal satisfactory A denial needs to be accompanied by substantive findings of fact 3 Table the design review and/or the sign review for more details RECOMMENDATION Staff finds that both the sign review and the design review satisfy applicable standards found in the City Code, West Stillwater Busmess Park Plan, and the Stillwater Market PUD Therefore, staff recommends approval with the following conditions 1 The project construction and signage shall be in compliance with the plan set dated 5/18/06 and the May 26, 2006 letter from Larkin Hoffman Law Firm to Cub Foods Fuel Station Page 4 the City's Community Development Director, both of which are on file in the Community Development Department 2 All required landscaping shall be installed prior to final project inspection 3 All minor modifications to the design review permit shall be approved in advance by the Community Development Director All major modifications shall be approved m advance by

primary residence or be set back from the front of the lot beyond the midpoint of the primary residence The existing primary residence is setback 40 feet in the front The front of the accessory dwelling unit is proposed to be located at the same front setback as the existing primary residence The applicant has made application to the Planning Commission requesting a variance to the zoning regulations to allow the accessory dwelling unit to be placed at the same front yard setback as the primary residence This request is being made in part due to steep slopes toward the rear and north of the subject property and due to the increased front yard setback of the primary residence compared to the setbacks of the existing homes to the north and south If the accessory dwelling unit is required to be setback at the midpoint of the existing primary residence it would encroach into the setback from the steep slopes and be impossible to construct the proposed accessory dwelling unit without encroaching into the required rear yard setback e Off-street parking requirements for an apartment and single-family residence (four spaces) must be provided The proposed accessory dwelling unit will provide the required four off-street parking spaces with two spaces in the garage and a minimum of two in the driveway f Maximum size of the accessory dwelling unit is 800 square feet The

2006 To Stillwater City Planning Commission From Kurt and Nancie Klitzke 420 Linden St W Stillwater 651-351-0510 We are asking for a Use Permit at 420 Linden St W in Stillwater to build a new structure (an auxiliary dwelling, with a garage ) There is one single dwelling home on this property currently with no garage The Use Permit is for auxiliary living space above the garage This will give us approximately 500 square feet of finished space We are asking for this additional space to be built because the house on the property is only 881 square feet We are also asking for a Variance for the setback and location of the auxiliary dwelling Since the house is setback 40', we would like to put the new structure even with the house or we can go up to 10' back The builder, Jesperson Homes, will meet all regulations, requirements, or special conditions We believe there is nothing detrimental to the public in our plan, and that it will only enhance the property value The new

REQUIREMENTS U 4..1 Vetti I THE BIRTHPLACE OF PAINNESOIA DATE May 31, 2006 APPLICANT David May REGARDING Rooftop Venting, Mills on Main LOCATION 350 Main Street North HPC DATE June 5, 2006 PREPARED BY Bill Turnblad, Community Development Directof BACKGROUND Mr Dave May, developer of Stillwater Mills on Main, attended the April and May Heritage Preservation Commission (HPC) meetings to discuss rooftop venting and various other issues for his project The meetmg concluded with the following motion, which was approved unanimously Take no action until all the pipes are cut and painted whatever color the developer feels is best, while at the same time encouraging the developer to look at other creative solutions HPC members will meet at the site prior to the June meeting if the cutting/painting is complete by that time The developer narrowed the choice of colors down to beige and light brown, since the two colors most effectively blended in with the rooftop The beige would look less obvious when the roof is covered with snow, but seems more obvious than light brown agamst the color of the river rock covering the roof Since there will be no snow on the roof most of the year, several HPC members and the community development director felt that the light brown would be the better choice The specialized paint necessary for the various venting materials was ordered weeks ago but was not delivered until Wednesday, May 31, 2006 Painting and vent down- sizmg is scheduled to begin on the north wing on Thursday the first of June and be finished by the HPC meeting on Monday, June 5, 2006 By Saturday the third of June, enough of the north wing will be completed to offer a good view of the ventmg mitigation There will not be enough time to complete the south wing before the June 5th meeting 1 Mainstream Development Demo Permit Page 2 COURSE OF ACTION 1 Sometime before the June 5, 2006 HPC meeting, Commissioners are asked to individually visit the Mills on Main project to view and consider venting mitigation Compare the venting height and color on the north wing (the west half will be done Saturday, the entire wing will be done by Monday afternoon) with the unaltered venting of the south wing 2 At the June 5 HPC meeting, the commission should formulate a recommendation to the City Council on the rooftop venting situation This could take any number of forms, but several options would be a Recommend that cutting the venting pipes and painting them as has been done on the north wing is a reasonable mitigation action b Recommend that in addition to cutting the venting pipes and painting them as has been done on the north wing, the developer should investigate other creative solutions Any advice or suggestions on other solutions would be helpful

Community Development Director BACKGROUND Mrs Kimberly Anez is interested in memorializing the site of the "Stillwater Cyclone" of July 14,1893 The tornado damaged the Atwood Sawmill just south of where the Terra Terminal stands today along Highway 95 It also killed two employees of the mill, one of which was the great-grandfather of Mrs Anez's husband SPECIFIC REQUEST Mrs Anez is requesting that a pile of boulders lust south of the Terra Terminal, which once were a chimney for the Atwood Sawmill, be stabilized and a monument plaque or sign be erected at the site She would like to see the plaque describe a bit about the "Stillwater Cyclone" and mention the men who were killed by it The reason Mrs Anez is asking for City discussion of the project is that the site of the chimney remnants and proposed monument location is on City property Also, the use of public resources may be requested RECOMMENDATION Discuss with Mrs Anez whether the event and site has sufficient historical merit to pursue public participation in her proposal cc Kimberly Anez attachments Letter from Kimberly Anez Gazette articles on the Stillwater Cyclone Kimberly Ann Anez 2007-60` Street North Somerset Wisconsin 54025 (651) 675-8880 May 17, 2006 Mayor and Council, City of Stillwater, Minnesota Dear Mayor Kimble and Councilmembers Junker, Harycki, Milbrandt, and Polehna I am writing to ask for a Resolution of Support for preservation of an interesting piece of Stillwater's history, and I offer some histoncal information with regard to the area along the river where your beautification project has begun Just south of the building that is slated for demolition beside the St Croix River along State Highway 95 (and 36) in Stillwater, is a pile of sand -colored rocks and boulders They he immediately adjacent to the guardrail for 95, only recently revealed to passersby because of the beautification work your City has undertaken If you stand at those rocks and look up to the bluff above, you will see the remnant of a large sandstone -colored chimney That chimney, including the portion below the road, was once attached to the Atwood Sawmill I have an etching of the Atwood Sawmill that depicts that chimney The Atwood Sawmill was damaged by the "Stillwater Cyclone" of July 14, 1893 The cyclone (tornado) formed around Lily Lake and proceeded toward the river When it reached the bluff it descended to the ground, landing atop the brickyard and mill Two people were killed by the cyclone, they were Windham Anez (my husband, Joel's great-grandfather) and Sam Simonson - both employees of the sawmill I enclose for your reading pleasure, a reproduction of the "Extra" sold by the Stillwater Gazette detailing events of that fateful day I am requesting that the pile of rock be stabilized or only the largest boulders remain in place, and a plaque mounted or a sign posted with some of the details of Stillwater's one and only "cyclone" and its victims Perhaps the new park could be named "Cyclone Park " Should you have any questions in this regard, I am at your service Should you require funding for a plaque, sign, or memonal monument, I am confident I can generate the necessary financial support Thank you for your kind attention and consideration of this request Please, let me know what I may do to move this proposal forward Respectfully submitted, Kimberly Ane Enclosures 2

The brick basement un deineath the barn is bulged out and cracked by the force of the wind, and the big door on the west of the building was torn off its hinges and thrown cleat across the barn The bons told me that as the wind blew across the pasture it picked a mule oft his feet and carried him a rod or so, and then dropped him un injured Thole was no live stock in the barn so -we lost no

Minn , July 15 -Beyond the killing of the two men, William (sp) Anez and Sam Simonson, and the injury of five others, the cyclone which passed over this city did tittle damage, most of it being at the bnckyards and the Atwater sawmill A fair estimate of the total loss is $18,000 Crops were damaged east of here, but the damage is not great, inasmuch as the storm did not stnke any of the farming communities The debris at the Atwood mill has been cleared away and work resumed Page 3, -Residents of Stillwater have often noticed threatening clouds and have jumped to the conclusion that they were in imminent danger from cyclones, but not until Fnday of last week did a cyclone in all its fury visit the city The heat for days had been oppressive and many predicted that something would happen before the atmosphere became cooler The storm flag over the Bazar had swayed to and fro for several days, but there was no indication of an approaching storm until Fnday afternoon At about two o'clock angry clouds were noticed in the west, and a httle later other clouds were noticed approachmg from the south They united at a point about one mile west of the Lily lake race track, and then began one of the most beautiful sights ever witnessed The clouds rolled and tumbled but the current of air from the west was apparently the strongest, and m a few moments a large cloud formed which came thundering toward the city The cloud resembled a huge baloon (sp), and from the lower end protruded a small tail which to some extent resembled an elephant's trunk Many forgot the lurkmg danger, and stood on the streets and at their homes viewing the magnificent phenomena as it bore down upon them The tail of the cyclonic cloud moved upward and downward, but at first it appeared too high to cause any uneasiness When at the Lily lake diving park it took a sudden shoot downward, and lifted a part of the fence Boards were carned high into the air, and not until the back yard was reached did the twister strike again Here the lowerpart of the cloud seemed to stnke m all its fury, and the large drying kilns were crumbled beneath its pressure The heavy barn was moved from its foundation, and the bnck foundation was cracked, and mclmed to the east Louis Stoltz, one of the employes (sp) was struck by flying boards, and was slightly injured From the bnck yard the funnel shaped monster took a direct easterly course, and as it swept the earth its deafening roar could be heard m all parts of the city The air was filled with shingles, boards and flying debris, and to those who witnessed the sight from the business portion of the city it seemed that everything was doomed on the South hill The smallest part of the cloud however, struck that part of the city, but its force was sufficient to lift out large trees by the roots, and to break off sturdy oaks like so many toothpicks Barns were thrown in every direction, and large boards skimmed through the air When the cyclone struck the bluff everybody supposed that it would leap into the lake but in an mstant it took a downward course and hfted the rafting sheds at the Atwood mill into the air, scattering death and destruction in its path Large timbers were carried into the lake, others were deposited upon the lumber carrier As soon as the storm had passed over willing hands began looking after the unfortunates who lay bleeding and torn under the debns The lifeless bodies of Wm A Anez and Sam Simonson were lying on the floor of the rafting shed and they were carried to the office about 200 feet distant Those injured at the were Frank Erickson, Aug Nelson, Ole Westing, Sol Stone and M Dupois, the latter a lumberman residing at Savannah, Ill , for whom Mr Atwood was sawing Ernest and Gus Drage, and August Dohmke were fishing near the mill when the cyclone struck and they too were more or less injured The youngest Drage boy was thrown into the lake, but managed to hang on to some logs until he was rescued from his perilous position None of the injured was badly hurt, and nearly all of them have returned to work At the time the cyclone struck the mill it was running m full blast, and the heavy wind drove the flames from the "hell" back into the mill setting fire to the structure The fire department was summoned, but before a line of hose could be laid the flames had been extmguished by the mill department Had the track of the cyclone been fifty feet further to the north the damage done would have been far greater and the loss of hfe would certamly have been appalling Upward of 300 people were employed m the mill and they give thanks that the storm was no worse As the cyclone crossed the lake it plowed a deep furrow m the water, and water was thrown 20 feet in the air Just before reaching the bluff on the Wisconsm side of the St Croix it took another upward start and did not strike again until it reached the home of Mr McPheters, east of Houlton (Wis) where it carved away a barn and machine shed Harvestmg machinery was scattered m every direction, and at the last account a bull wheel belonging to his bmder had not been found Other farmers in that vicinity suffered considerable damage Stillwater people watched the cyclone as it dissappeared (sp) in the distance The wind played many cunous pranks, and a tour of its path will reveal some of the strangest sights ever seen Three blocks this side of the bnck yard two large poplar trees were broken off near the ground, and their tops were carried a distance of fully 300 feet Thomas McCallan's barn was tumed and twisted m every direction and was thrown against the house and a neighbor's barn was deposited on top of the debns A flying board was camed mto the air and deposited underneath the eaves of Frank Joy's ' (sp) residence On South Second street a large oak tree had been twisted off immediately in front of a house, but the house was not damaged m the least Parts of buildings were twisted out of shape, while the other parts remained intact One of the doors of the large "hell" at the Atwood mill was blown off and can not be found A splinter of wood about a foot long and inch m diameter was blown through the sheet iron roof on the blacksmith shop at the mill, and several wagons standing near were carried from 20 to 100 feet Many other incidents of the fury of the storm could be mentioned On Saturday a large number of people from St Paul, Minneapolis and other cities came over to view the ruins and after seemg the path and their course taken they expressed their surpnse at the wonderfully small damage done for a cyclone of its velocity The funerals of Anez and Simonson occurred Sunday afternoon, the former from the family residence in Oak Park, and the latter from the Swedish Mission church on the North hill Many fnends accompanied the remains to their last resting place Anez leaves a large family in poor circumstances and an effort is being made to raise a subscription for them Simonson was a single man, and had resided at the home of John Peterson on Laurel street for a number of years 4 Executive Director Bonnie C McDonald Board of Directors Chair Roger D Randall — Plymouth Vice
