the meeting to order at 7 p m Approval of minutes Mr Johnson seconded by Mr Tomten moved approval of the minutes of May 1 2006 as submitted Motion passed unanimously Public Hearings Case No DEM/06-04 Consideration of a request from Mainstream Development Partnership LLC for the demolition of the Maple Island Hardware building at 225 N Main St in the CBD Central Business District Mainstream Development Partnership LLC applicant Representing the applicant were Vern Stefan and Tim Stefan Mr Lieberman noted the question is whether the structure in question qualifies as being of historically or potentially historical significance He noted that any building over 50 years old or on the National Register meets that definition The applicant had submitted affidavits from two former Maple Island plant managers and Sanborn maps from 1956 and 1961 in arguing that the building is less than 50 years old and would not require a demolition permit Tim Stefan said he had been unable to determine an exact date the structure which enclosed the three outside milk delivery lanes was completed Mr Stefan said the best piece of information relates to the date of the installation of the weigh station in 1961 Mr Johnson pointed out that the 1956 Sanborn map indicates the footprint of a structure that matches exactly what is there now Mr Johnson also suggested that the affidavits provided were not of much help as neither person provided information as to when the structure was built Mr Lieberman opened the public hearing Don Empson 1206 N Second St noted that the 1956 Sanborn map indicates the structure was built He said he had talked with Bob Thompson and Anita Buck both of whom remember that the building in question was in existence as early as 1952 He stated he had located a building permit for Maple Island Farm to construct an addition in 1944 which would be the building in question Mr Empson also produced a copy of an Oct 1 1944 newspaper article about Maple Island s plans to build a new receiving unit Richard Kilty 118 W Oak St questioned the historical significance of a former milk receiving drive-thru No other comments were received and the hearing was closed Mr Lieberman noted that if a structure is older than 50 years the Commission is obligated to follow the nine steps in the City s demolition permit process Mr Johnson said Mr Empson's material indicates that the structure is over 50 years old and thus needs to be looked at under the demolition permit process Tim Stefan agreed to stipulate that the exterior facade of the building is more than 50 years old, however he noted that the east and southern portions as well as the roof have been significantly altered from the original Mr Stefan asked for a clarification of the 9 steps required for a demolition permit It was suggested that data supporting the economic justification for the 1 I City of Stillwater Heritage Preservation Commission June 5 2006 demolition request the alternatives to demolition and the advertisements of the structure for sale/reuse were the steps most in need of additional information Mr Eastwood moved to table consideration of the demolition request until the applicant provides additional information regarding the economic justification alternatives to demolition and proof of advertisement for sale Mr Johnson seconded the motion Mr Harycki noted that in the past two demolition requests there has been difficulty establishing the age of a structure and asked whether the Commission should have a qualified historian to assist in the process Mr Tomten questioned going through all the steps in the process when in the end it requires a leap to find a milk receiving drive -though and truck garage as historically significant and incorporating the existing facade would look horrible Mr Johnson said the fact that the structure is over 50 years old obligates the Commission to look at the request according to the ordinance Mr Johnson agreed that it may not be desirable to incorporate the facade into the new development — when the Commission has that information it can make that decision he said Mr Lieberman agreed that the Commission needed to go through the steps to preserve the integrity of the process Mr Stefan asked if someone from the Commission would be willing to work with him so he can submit all the desired information Mr Johnson agreed to work with Mr Stefan Motion to table the request passed unanimously Design Reviews Case No DR/06-19 Design review of a planned unit development for a mixed use retail office and residential use with underground parking in the Central Business District located at 227 N Main St Mainstream Development Partnership LLC applicant Continued from the May 1 2006 meeting Present were Tim Stefan and Vern Stefan Tim Stefan said that in response to the discussion at the May meeting their proposal had been altered and one floor removed He provided various models of the building with various roof styles He also provided some samples of the proposed building materials The first floor of the building would house retail uses with a recessed entry from Main Street The second floor would house office use The second floor would feature 12 ceilings and clad windows The third floor would be utilized for four living units A gabled roof would allow mechanicals to be hidden unlike a flat roof where mechanicals would have to be on the roof Mr Stefan stated he preferred the gabled roof and Commission members agreed Mr Stefan also noted that they are requesting a variance to the 10 percent infill height regulation According to the infill regulations the height would be limited to 10 percent of the adjacent building or 32 3 they are proposing a building 37 3 in height Mr Johnson spoke to some of the revisions made by the applicant in response to the Commission s comments at the May meeting Mr Lieberman agreed that many of the issues raised at the previous meeting had been addressed and addressed well but he noted that given the need for a variance the Commission can t approve the plans until that issue is resolved Mr Lieberman moved to give concept approval to the revised plans and materials as being consistent with the Downtown Design Guidelines with final resolution pending the outcome of the demolition permit and height variance it also was stated that in giving concept approval the Commission offers no opinion as to whether a demolition permit will be issued or height variance granted Mr Eastwood seconded the motion motion passed unanimously 2 City of Stillwater Heritage Preservation Commission June 5 2006 Case No DR/06-22 Design review of proposed signage change at 1960 Market Drive in the BP- C Business Park Commercial District All -Bate Signs Kevin Gillette applicant The applicant was not present Mr Tomten seconded by Mr Eastwood moved approval as conditioned Mr Johnson clarified that the size of the signage has been reduced to 30 square feet to be in conformance with the Sign Ordinance Motion to approve as conditioned passed unanimously Case No DR/06-23 Design review of proposed signage at 1421 Stillwater Blvd in the BP-C Business Park Commercial Distnct Max Pittman Wilderness Wireless Inc applicant The applicant was present He stated the signage will not be illuminated Mr Johnson seconded by Mr Nelson moved approval as conditioned with the additional condition that the signage not be internally lighted Motion passed unanimously Case No DR/06-24 Design review of proposed fuel center for Cub Foods at 1801 Market Drive in the BP-C Business Park Commercial District Linda Fisher Larkin Hoffman Law Firm representing the applicant Present were Ms Fisher three representatives of SuperValu and staff from Westwood Professional Services Mr Lieberman expressed his concern that the applicant was represented by counsel and noted for the record that the Commission was not privy to representation by counsel Ms Fisher explained that her expertise is in land use planning not litigation It was agreed that Ms Fisher should do the presentation on behalf of the applicant Ms Fisher explained what when the fuel center plan was first presented in January there was a lack of coordination in design and building materials with the primary structure and the plans went back to the drawing board to address the concerns heard at that time She presented the revised design plans and new site plan The new plans reduce the number of fueling positions from six to five The plans include a new landscaped island to separate the fueling center from the parking lot which represents a 37 percent increase in parking lot green space The columns of the fuel center are now masonry and of the same dusty rose color as the primary structure No new monument or pylon signage is proposed she noted Ms Fisher also explained the lighting proposal The lighting under the canopy will be flat recessed lenses The signage on the canopy will be lighted with clam shell type fixtures the Cub Fuel Express canopy signs will be red yellow and white to coordinate with the Cub Foods signage there also will be two LED - pricing signs as proposed Ms Fisher said no additional lighting is proposed other than minor changes relocation of several parking lot light standards Mr Johnson and Mr Lieberman both complimented the applicant on changes made to address the Commission's previous concerns Mr Lieberman seconded by Mr Johnson moved approval as conditioned with the additional conditions that the canopy lighting be recessed flat lenses that the signage on the canopy be externally lighted and there be no additional signage Motion passed unanimously Mr Harycki asked if the City ordinances had any restrictions on additional signage such as product signage Mr Turnblad said he wasn t sure but said he would check 3 4 City of Stillwater Heritage Preservation Commission June 5 2006 Case No DR/06-25 Design review of an accessory dwelling unit at 420 W Linden St in the RB Two Family Residential Distnct Kurt and Nancie Sesemann-Klitzke applicants Mr Lieberman introduced new planner Mike Pogge who briefly reviewed the ordinance regulations related to design review of accessory dwelling units in the RB zoning distract Mr Johnson said he thought the proposed roof pitch of the new structure worked well with the existing home He verified that the siding on the accessory unit would match that of the house Mr Tomten asked if it would be possible to use double -hung sash rather than casement windows the applicants responded that would not be an issue Mr Johnson asked about plans for lighting the exterior of the accessory unit The applicants said if there is any lighting it would be one outside light under the eave Mr Johnson noted that from an engineering standpoint, the foundation will have to be designed as a retaining wall in the front Mr Johnson moved approval as conditioned with the additional condition that double -hung sash windows single or paired be utilized rather than casement windows and that there be no exterior lighting on the accessory unit Mr Tomten asked that the motion clarify that exposed rafter tails be utilized to match the primary residence Mr Johnson accepted that as an amendment to his motion Mr Tomten seconded the motion motion passed unanimously Other items Request for monument at Atwood Sawmill — Kimberly Anez and several other Anez family members were present Ms Anez asked that consideration be given to placing a plaque or historical marker at the Atwood Sawmill site and recognize the two men who were killed when a cyclone hit the sawmill site in July 1893 During the discussion Mr Peterson noted the site is historic not because of the cyclone but because of the sawmill operations Mr Peterson noted that there are many other sites that perhaps ought to have historical markers of some sort Mr Peterson suggested instituting an historic marker program and having the Park Board and Chamber of Commerce Historic District Committee review the proposal and make recommendations as to what sites should be included Ms Anez was advised to take her request to the City Council the following evenings Members agreed this request might be the impetus to start some type of historic marker program Mills on Main — Present were Dave May and architect Scott England Mr England asked for the Commission s direction on the stain colors for the large retaining wall along Second Street Three colors were given as options the Commission was unanimous in favoring the limestone color shown Regarding the rooftop penetrations, members agreed that painting the pipes the brown color has helped the situation some Mr Johnson also noted the parapet flashing helps divert attention from the pipes Mr England said landscaping along Second Street will likely be installed by mid -July He provided renditions of what the plantings will look like to five and 10 years Mr England reviewed a number of options looked at to mask the rooftop penetrations none of the options improved the situation — some it was felt drew more attention to the penetrations 4 9 City of Stillwater Heritage Preservation Commission June 5 2006 Mr Eastwood seconded by Mr Peterson moved to direct the developers to complete the treatment applied to a portion of the rooftop — cutting and painting the pipes the brown color Mr Johnson asked if the elevator penthouse would be painted that will be done Mr May and Mr England responded It was noted that the painting and installation of flashing distracts the eye from the rooftop openings While not the best solution it does improve the situation It also was noted that prior to the development those in the adjacent neighborhood had no view of the river Motion to direct the developer to complete the cutting and painting of the penetrations passed unanimously Mr Harycki noted there likely will be continued discussion of the issue at the Council level Demolition permit Mr Harycki raised the issue of the steps required to obtain a demolition permit noting that in the last two requests there has been difficulty in determining the age of a structure Mr Lieberman suggested preparing a list of approved historians to assist in that aspect of the process Mr Eastwood like he would like clarification of the requirements for providing financial information Mr Turnblad suggested that staff draft a policy for consideration by the Commission and Council Mr Johnson asked if the applicant for the demolition permit for the structure on Manning Avenue had submitted the requested additional information regarding steps 5 and 9 of the permit that information has not yet been received it was noted Preservation Alliance Award Mr Johnson suggested that the Commission nominate the Lift Bridge as a candidate for the Preservation Alliance s Minnesota Preservation Award Mr Johnson noted the bridge had been on the Alliances 10 most endangered structures for a number of years and it has been a joint effort to preserve the bridge Mr Johnson seconded by Mr Lieberman moved to submit a nomination for the lift bridge as a candidate for the Minnesota Preservation Award Motion passed unanimously Mr Tomten seconded by Mr Eastwood moved to adjourn at 10 p m Motion passed unanimously Respectfully submitted Sharon Baker Recording Secretary 5 Il E B I FI T H P I A 9 F MINNFSOIA DATE APPLICANT Mainstream Development Partnership, LLC REQUEST Demolition Permit LOCATION 225 North Main Street HPC PUBLIC HEARING DATE June 5, 2006 (continued to July 5, 2006) PREPARED BY Bill Turnblad, Community Development Director June 28, 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 fmal 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 parking lot and build in their place about a 39,000 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 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 [heritage preservation] commission for review Buildings or structures determined nonhistoric must be referred to the building official for issuance of a demolition permit " A "nonhistoric structure or building" is defined by Chapter 34, Section 34-2 as a structure or buzldzng less than 50 years old N v Mainstream Development Demo Permit Page 2 The original application materials came to the conclusion that the hardware store building at 225 North Main Street was less than 50 years old However, at the June 5 public hearing evidence was presented clearly showing that at least the west wall of the building is more than 50 years old Moreover, during the subsequent discussion the commissioners determined that three of the rune required demolition permit review criteria were not satisfactorily addressed Specifically, more details were needed to satisfy criteria 5, 8 and 9 of Ch 34-5, Subd 1 Consequently, the commission continued the demolition discussion to the July 5, 2006 meeting Criteria 5, 8 and 9 are (5) (8) (9) The reason for the proposed demolition and data supporting the reason, including, where applicable, data sufficient to establish any economic justification for demolition, A description of alternatives to the demolition, Evidence that the building or structure has been advertised for sale for restoration or reuse and that sale for restoration or reuse is not economically feasible Mainstream Development Partnership has provided documentation on each of the three criteria The conclusion of the attached document is that the aesthetic and historical benefits derived from saving the west facade of the building are not significant enough to justify the costs of saving it Those costs include lost revenue, the loss of valuable space in the CBD, as well as the monetary costs of preserving the facade itself Staff concurs with the applicant's conclusion cc Tim Stefan Vern Stefan attachments Applicant letter Demolition alternatives F le MAINSTREAM DEVELOPMENT, LLC PO Box 610 Stillwater, MN 55082 City of Stillwater Historic Preservation Commission 216 N Fourth Street Stillwater MN 55082 Re Demolition Permit Dear Commission members 27 June 2006 As a result of our June 5 meeting several items were left incomplete on our demolition permit application The items and response is as follows 5 The reason for the proposed demolition and data supporting the reason including where applicable data sufficient to establish any economic justification for demolition Response A Design In our opinion at the outset of designing the new building we felt the over all design (from the bookstore to the Winery) would be best served by providing a building mass complimentary to the creamery to the south as well as a larger mass building toward the Mulberry and Main to offset the mass of the neighboring structures at that intersection Another consideration in design decisions is the future of Northern Vineyards We do not own that property and its future is not in our hands We do not know the future plans the winery may have Saving the hardware store Main St elevation would make sense if the winery Main St facade was required to be saved In our opinion the hardware store aesthetically benefits from the winery elevation Conversely the winery elevation doesn t need the hardware store elevation The winery could exist on its own with 3 equal bays and 4 equal pilasters creating a symmetrical elevation The proposed floor plate (13 400 gsf) on the ground and second floor are a result of maximizing the site within parameters to provide prospective tenants area they require The 2nd floor tenant currently exists on 2 floors in 3 remote areas with a aggregate area of 8 500 gsf They require an additional 2 500 sf now and proposed growth of 2 500 sf in the next 5 yrs The ground floor tenant requires a 10 000 gsf The CBD has very little large floor plate buildings This structure creates more diversity in the ability to attract businesses requiring a larger floor area B Reuse Costs The facade is a one story masonry load bearing wall resting on a strip footing The facade was probably not designed to accept an additional floor To add an additional floor above the facade an additional steel structure supporting the second floor would be built The additional structure would require 75 of additional sheeting and piles driven adjacent to the facade requiring underpinning and isolation of the facade footings We have not determined the most efficient method of creating a reliable foundation until the design parameters are fully defined (to be determined by council and planning commission) All footing applications will require sheeting underpinning and bracing to save the facade Estimated cost to sheet underpin and brace the facade and a portion of the winery north wall 75 If (Estimated cost is above the cost to demolish and back fill the facade area ) - Engineering Fee $ 7 500 - Mobilization (prorated) $ 5 000 - Sheeting to 6 75 If ($150/If) $11 250 - Underpinning 75 If ($250/If $18 750 Bracing $10 000 - Steel structure (beyond typ const) $35 000 - Demolition sensitive removal $ 5,000 Total $92 500 C Loss of Area The loss of second floor area as portrayed in option B has a direct cost to MDP Net loss of revenue assuming a sale of that floor at today market pricing would be 18 x46 or 828 sf x $58/sf (net revenue) = $ 48 024 loss Limitations and reduction of area in the underground parking area would result in a net savings to the development (approx 18 If of foundation wall) but a parking loss of 8 stalls Total Estimated Cost for Reuse $ 140 524 8 Descnption of alternatives to the demolition and 2 options were studied option A looks at a strict interpretation of ordinance building codes and respect for the historic classification of the existing structure on both the north and Main St elevations Option B adds a 2 story structure to the north of the hardware store and a one story addition above the hardware store and recessed from Main St Drawings are attached 9 Evidence that the building or structure has been advertised for sale for restoration or reuse and that sale for restoration or reuse is not economically feasible MDP has listed the property with Caldwell Banker since Nov 2005 Several inquiries have been made but no offers tendered All inquiries questioned the ability to develop the site due to recent ordinance limitations including the height overlay district infill requirements parking requirements and demolition permits We can not single out demolition as the single limiting factor prohibiting sale or development of the property MDP LLC conclusion The estimated cost for saving the Main St facade and Toss of revenue due to area reduction is relatively small with in the total project budget It does represent an unanticipated cost that would strain the viability of completing the project as currently designed The structure is a drive through garage built after the end of the war with limiting architectural features that contribute to the historic district In our opinion it represents a limitation that does not improve the project aesthetics leaving those observing the building asking the question What were they thinking here?

Empson Report Designating Historic Homes and Historic Districts Report to the Stillwater Heritage Preservation Commission by Donald Empson, Consultant July 2006 1 Empson Report ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF HISTORIC PRESERVATION FUND SUPPORT AND NONDISCRIMINATION POLICY This project has been financed in part with Federal funds from the National Park Service, Department of Interior, through the Minnesota Historical Society under provisions of the National Historic Preservation Act as amended However the contents and opinions do not necessarily reflect the views or policies of the Department of the Interior, nor does the mention of trade names or commercial products constitute endorsement or recommendation by the Department of the Interior Under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the U S Department of Interior prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, or handicap in its federally assisted program If you believe you have been discriminated against in any program activity, or facility as described above, or if you desire further information, please write to Office of Equal Opportunity, U S Department of the Interior, Washington, D C , 20240 2 Empson Report Services to be provided under this contract 1) Prepare a plan that be used to designate significant historic structures within Stillwater [web based list] 2) Describe a plan that would best preserve the historic structures, landscape and neighborhoods of Stillwater [Conservation district] 3) Recommend and document neighborhoods that might be eligible for national or local designation as historic districts In order to accomplish these services, it is expected that the consultant will A) Review Stillwater's Historic Context Document and other historic research conducted in Stillwater or this area B) Evaluate the properties inventoried in previous surveys C) Work with SHPO 3 Empson Report Designating Stillwater's Historic Houses and Districts The purpose of identifying Stillwater's historic homes and districts is A) To acknowledge and reward those owners who have preserved or restored the integrity of their old houses B) To serve as an educational tool that will inspire and encourage other owners to preserve or restore the integrity of their old houses C ) To preserve the historic neighborhoods —the defining characteristic of Stillwater —to ensure that Stillwater maintains its identity and appeal as a historic river city and tourist destination The three sections of this report deal with 1 ) Heirloom Houses 2) Landmark Houses and Sites 3 ) Historic Districts 4 Empson Report Heirloom Houses Because there is little staff or money available, administrative costs of any historic houses designations process have to be kept at a minimum, and any process must require a minimum of time Instead of the traditional method of identifying homes, using plaques and nominations —which require considerable and ongoing administrative support and H P C oversight —I would like to suggest the following method 1 ) Creating a list of homes a ) As the historical consultant, I have selected a list (attached) of homes in Stillwater that have a fair amount of their original design elements remaining The list represents a variety of house styles, large and small, that are representative of nineteenth century Stillwater The owners of these homes will have to be identified and sent a letter requesting their permission to use a photograph of their house along with the address of the house Information about the history of the house can be added to the photograph b ) Attached is a sample letter to the homeowners explaining the purpose in using their house, and further informing them that this is simply a way of promoting the preservation of the older houses in Stillwater that there are no financial rewards, no grants or tax reductions, nothing other than the prestige of owning and maintaining an historic home in Stillwater c) Once we have the permission of the owner, the H P C can work with Diane Ward to expand the city's Heritage Preservation Web Page to include the photographs, addresses, and histories under the name "Heirloom Houses of Stillwater " Because some of the owners of the selected houses may not respond, potential homeowners should continue to be contacted until we have an excellent selection on the web site 2) Preservation Program a ) The same web page should contain selected excerpts from the various educational pamphlets on preserving an historic house, and have them posted as a link on the web site Homeowners could then access information of preserving/restoring their old house b) Digital copies and an index to photographs of most of the old houses in Stillwater that were taken in 1976 as a River Town Restoration project are available Those could also be put on the web site so owners could see what their house looked like 30 years ago 5 Empson Report c) Other links to restoration sites, including resources at the local library, the magazine Old House Journal, for example, could be included Resources for restoration could be linked in The neighborhood histories I have written could be linked in d) If there were staff or volunteers to do it, once a year someone could drive around with a laptop computer and check to see if any of the houses had been altered in such a way they should be removed from the web page e) Homeowners would be invited to submit an alternate photo for their house if they wished, or if a house has been restored, the homeowner could submit a photograph for a first time inclusion If a homeowner wished to have his house included on the site, there would be a brief application form on the web site, and the H P C could make a determination to include it or not f) The design guidelines for infill in the Conservation District could be included as a link on the web page, and they in turn linked to the educational material on the web site g) The H P C could arrange a publicity bash announcing the web site, its address could be included in the city newsletter, realtors would be urged to use the information when selling one of these houses, tourists could be encouraged to use the web site before a visit, etc etc 6 Empson Report Sample Letter to Homeowners for Heirloom Homes Dear Mr and Mrs (name from the tax record) The Heritage Preservation Commission of Stillwater is in the process of selecting homes within the old part of Stillwater that best represent the various architectural styles of the nineteenth century when Stillwater was a booming lumber industry city Our main criteria are that the house retain many of its original characteristics siding windows, doors, porches etc so that it accurately represents the houses of that period a century ago We are interested in all the types of old houses in Stillwater not just the large houses or lumber baron mansions, but also the many workingman s houses and those houses built by the middle class of that period By selecting and identifying these "Heirloom Houses,' we hope to inform other homeowners on what constitutes an "historic' house and encourage others to preserve or restore the integrity of their home This, we beheve, will contribute to the enhancement and preservation of the old neighborhoods for which Stillwater is justly admired With this criteria in mind, we have selected your house at (address) as a typical example of a nineteenth century Stillwater house that still has much of its original integrity With your permission we would hke to take a digital photograph of the exterior of your house and put it along with the address and a short history of your house (when we have it) on our web page maintained by the city of Stillwater Your house along with the others, would be designated a Stillwater Heirloom House " Unfortunately at this time there are no financial advantages for you as the owner of an Heirloom House on our web page There are no tax breaks, no grant money available nothing more than the prestige and personal satisfaction that owning an authentic Stillwater historic house might bring If you have questions, please feel free to call or e mail (99 ) during the hours of If you do agree to have your house used on our web site please sign below and return this letter in the enclosed self addressed stamped envelope I hereby give permission to the Heritage Preservation Commission of Stillwater to post a photograph of my house on their city web page including the address and a history of the house I understand I can revoke this permission at any time, and the picture and information will be removed promptly (signed) 7 Empson Report Sample Application Letter for "Heirloom House" Designation (to be on the web site) I would like to have the Heritage Preservation Commission of Stillwater consider my house for designation on its web site as a Heirloom House of Stillwater I understand there is no financial compensation for this designation Name Address Do you know the history of your home? Why do you think your house should be included on the web site as a Heirloom House? Please submit this form to the Heritage Preservation Commission, (address,) etc Thank you for your interest in our program If you would like to be present at the discussion of your application, please check here and we will notify you If you have questions, please contact (9) at telephone/e mail 8 Empson Report Timeline for establishing the "Heirloom Home" program 1) H P C and staff, working with a consultant, agree on the terms of the proposal Consultant submits a list of houses that would qualify, [Done] 2) H P C presents the proposal to the city council and receives their permission to approach the homeowners, 3) Consultant works with city staff to outline, prepare web page, 4) H P C submits a news release in the local newspapers explaining the program, 5) With the help of the consultant, the first letters to homeowners are prepared and mailed out —along with a copy of the newspaper story When permissions are received, consultant will prepare photo, history, and submit to city staff for inclusion on the web page Photos may have to be taken by a professional photographer 6) After a month or two of sending out the first batch of letters, consultant will prepare another listing of potential houses —depending on how many responded to the first letter —and letters will be sent to those homeowners, 7) Consultant will gather additional materials and links for the web page, 8) Within a year, hopefully, the web page would be up and running, fairly complete 9 Empson Report List of Heirloom Homes These approximately 370 homes have been selected because I felt they had a strong sense of their original integrity —at least when viewed from one selected angle Some of them have been restored, others have suffered from neglect I felt it important that as many houses as possible be identified so their owners were rewarded for even the minimum restoration efforts they had made, as well as trying to include the owners in the overall preservation community Anyone could question any one of these selections, and indeed, I could probably question myself over any one of these selections But I believe most people would agree with most of my selections 10 Empson Report

Landmark Sites Landmark Houses and Sites are the finest old houses and the most remarkable sites in Stillwater They have architectural integrity and they have a strong connection to the history of Stillwater These are sites I believe might be eligible (or are already on) the National Register of Historic Places under Criteria A, (significant happening), Criteria B (significant people), or Criteria C (significant architecture) In Stillwater the choice has been made to maintain a Stillwater (local) version of the National Register, rather than seeking National Register designation of our local sites These homes and sites designated as "Stillwater Landmark" sites, would be subject to review under Section 22 7, Subd 6 (1) of Stillwater's Heritage Preservation Ordinance Under the rules of the National Register, a site may not be designated without the permission of the owner I would suggest that same rule be applied to these "Stillwater Landmark" sites No doubt some owners may not wish their property designated a "Stillwater Landmark," because of the restrictions (real or imagined) and review that would be placed on these sites In those cases where the owner will not consent to the "Landmark" status, I would urge that these sites be added on the "Heirloom House" list This list is by no means inclusive The surveys of the South, West and North hill did not go into detail on individual houses, so further research should be done For information on these sixty one sites, I relied primarily on two sources 1 ) the previous Stillwater surveys I have done, 2) a survey done under the auspices of River Town Restoration in 1976 Stillwater's Lumber — Boom Architecture An Annotated Photographic Essay by Paul Clifford Larson Larson's survey can be found in the Stillwater Public Library This listing contains only a minimum of information on each "Stillwater Landmark," additional information can be found in the two sources just listed If the site is to be listed as a "Stillwater Landmark," and the owner has agreed, additional research may have to be done on some of these sites Most of Stillwater's grand "lumber baron" mansions were demolished in the 1900 1930 period The Hospes mansion on North First Street, the Sabin Mansion on North Third, the Marsh Mansion on South Broadway, the Staples Mansion on what is now Pioneer Park are only a few examples I have tried to include a representative sampling of those large impressive 21 Empson Report houses remaining, but I have also tried to include a few "working man's" houses, and the kind of homes ordinary people lived in To begin this program of Landmark Sites, the H P C must agree on a listing of potential sites a) I would recommend a pamphlet or brochure be prepared explaining the program Owners of the sites should be contacted in person to discuss the program and given a copy of the brochure Follow up calls should be made to answer any questions b) If the owner agrees in writing (there should be some kind of contract with the city, I believe), the exterior (and maybe interior) of the house should be photographed for future reference c) Like the Heirloom Houses, these Landmark Sites could be included on the H P C web page d) The building department should be notified so that any permits for these sites are first routed to the H P C Like the Heirloom Houses, information on the history of the Landmark Sites could be included on the web site along with links to the National Register and other pertinent sites e) These Landmark Sites could be the source of a brochure about historic Stillwater 1) 805 Abbott Street Janda House Generally known as the "Janda" house, this home was built in 1880 by Peter and Mary Jourdain, he was a wealthy lumberman In 1923, the Jourdain family sold the house to Louis and Mary Janda, owners of a department store in downtown Stillwater This commodious and fancy house in an Eastlake Stick style with its profusion of roof lines, and estate occupying six lots, remains nearly as original as it was over a century ago More information can be found in Empson Holcombe Additions Survey and Larson 2) 706 West Anderson Street Hanley House This wonderful stone house (the only one in Stillwater) was built about 1862 by Michael and Mary Hanley He was a local stonemason who helped in the building of St Michael's Church Like others in the neighborhood, it was 22 Empson Report the type of small home built by families around the time of the Civil War For more information, see Empson Holcombe Additions survey 3) 12588 Boutwell Road Boutwell House Rev William T Boutwell, and his wife, Hester Crooks (daughter of Ramsey Crooks) are figures of statewide significance Born in New Hampshire, Wilham came to the Northwest in 1831 as a Protestant missionary He was with Schoolcraft at the discovery of the source of the Mississippi River and supplied the name Itasca He later served as a missionary to the Ojibway moving to the Stillwater area in 1847 The present Boutwell house at this address appears to date from the 1870's 4) Across from 12588 Boutwell Road Boutwell Cemetery The Boutwell Cemetery, containing members of the Boutwell Family, is owned by the Washington County Historical Society 5) 1122 North Broadway Carli House This house was built by Christopher H Carli, Jr (the son of Stillwater pioneers Lydia and Christopher Carl].) in 1886 Christopher, along with his mother, operated the north hill quarry along the east side of North Broadway, a quarry which supplied much of the stone used in nineteenth century Stillwater The house has only had two owners, and remains in very original condition, it is an excellent example of a middle class home of the period More information can be found in Empson South Half of the Carli & Schulenburg Addition survey 6) 651 South Broadway Castle House Luke B Castle was one of the pioneers of Stillwater, who came to Stillwater in 1867 where he worked in a variety of occupations His house was built in 1879 upon land purchased from Fayette and Emma Marsh In the 1930's, after the house went into foreclosure, a large two story addition was removed from the back of the house Although not as elaborate as some of the neighboring homes, this house does have a sense of integrity Many people know Brad Castle, Luke's grandson 7) 435 South Broadway Webster House This early cube Itahanate house, said to be built in 1862, is capped by the only cupola left in the city The location offered the builder, Mortimer Webster, a stunning view of the riverscape This house is on the National Register of Historic Places More information can be found in Larson's book 8) 117 East Burlington Street Welshons House Gordon Welshons was the owner of St Croix Lumber Company in Bayport when this house was built in 1887 and remodeled in 1902 23 Empson Report Mahogany wainscoting hnes the dining room, seven rooms have parquet floors, and the walls were originally covered with hand painted papers and gold leaf There are still members of the Welshons family in Stillwater More information can be found in Larson's book 9) 618 East Burlington Street Brown House Built in 1874 by Edward Brown, partner in the Hersey, Bean & Brown Mill below the bluff, this stately house has both Greek Revival and Italianate characteristics More information can be found in Empson Hersey, Staples & Co Addition survey 10) 106 East Chestnut Street Cutler House This elaborate Itahanate house (which has a large modern addition as an ell) was built in 1868 1869 The Republican newspaper called it "a fine residence" and a "Minneapolis house " At the time it was built, it was on the western edge of downtown For more information, see Larson 11) 114 East Chestnut Street Brunswick House Some claim this is the oldest house in Stillwater, built by Carl Penny about 1849 when it served as the IOOF lodge However, Larson places the building as having been built in 1856, which would place it among the earlier houses of the city, but not the first For more information, see Larson 12) 208 West Chestnut Street Nichols House Built as a countrified Gothic Revival parsonage in 1857, this house with its steep gables, fanciful vergeboards, and picturesque profile is one of Stillwater's gems For more information, see Larson 13) 220 West Chestnut James S Anderson House This Greek Revival house perched on the edge of the cliff is surely one of the earliest houses in the city, but it requires more research It is mentioned in the South Hill survey 14) 622 West Churchill Street Mulvey House Built in 1878 by James and Miranda Mulvey, this impressive Itahanate house serves as a B & B today Mulvey was a lumberman, and the family hved in the house for three quarters of a century More information can be found in Empson Holcombe's Additions survey and Larson 15) 717 West Churchill Street Warner House This charming residence, built before Minnesota became a state, is one of the gems of the city With its broadside symmetrical front to the street, and its Greek Revival return eaves, it is representative of the small houses in which the majority of the population of Stillwater lived 145 years ago 706 24 Empson Report West Churchill and 310 West Churchill are other examples of small pre Civil War homes More information can be found in Empson Holcombe's Additions survey 16) 404 West Elm Street Berglund

significant history in Stillwater More information can be found in Larson 17) 625 North Fifth Street Sauntry Gym Inspired by William Sauntry's tour of the Alhambra in Granada, Spain, this "Moorish Palace" was the most fantastic of all Stillwater's lumberman's fantasies The building, now a residence, once contained a conservatory, bowling alley, and swimming pool 18) 407 South Fifth Street St Mary's parish house This neat brick house, associated with the church next door, looks to have been built about 1870-1880 While little is known about his residence, further research would, I am sure, justify its inclusion as a Stillwater Landmark 19) 416 South Fifth Street Seward House Built about 1886, Larson writes "In a city filled with architectural eccentricities, this is perhaps the most peculiar of all Built when cupolas and square towers were well past their zenith in house fashions, it pushes each form in directions that would have horrified the designers of 'correct' Italanate dwellings" Victor and Elizabeth Seward were publishers of a Stillwater newspaper For more information, see Larson 20) 504 South Fifth Street Jenks House Austin and Harriet Jenks had this brick home built in 1880 Its tall windows and corner tower recall the Itahanate villas of the 1860s Captain Jenks was active in the lumber trade On the National Register For more information, see Larson,

Brown House Built about 1856 in what was then a very unsettled portion of the city, this house retains much of its original integrity Elisha Brown was a carpenter who lived in the house for over 20 years For more information see Empson Greeley Residential Area survey 33) 118 West Oak Street Potts House This gingerbread house was built (or remodeled) about 1880 shortly after Philomena Potts

Larson 34) 306 West Olive Street O'Brien House The John O'Brien house is said to have been the first full fledged Queen Anne house in Stillwater O'Brien was active in both city and state affairs Today it is the Rivertown Inn, a B & B For more information, see Larson 35) 406 West Olive Ernest Hospes House The fortunes of the Hospes family are tied to the Schulenburg & Boeckler mill in Dutchtown This is a good example of a modest lumber baron's home For more information, see Larson 36) 713 West Olive Ole Olsen House 27 Empson Report Built in the 1890s, this Queen Anne house in brick is quite unusual for Stillwater, a lumberman's town Olsen was a building contractor For more information, see Larson 37) 518 North Owens Street Streetcar Station This industrial building was the beginning of the streetcar ride from Stillwater to St Paul through Wildwood Park in Mahtomedi More information is available 38) 101 East Pine Historic Courthouse Already on the National Register, it should be on Stillwater's Landmark House register as well 39) 223 West Pine Street Whiteside House This is one of the few Gothic houses in Stillwater, and the only one in brick Despite unfortunate alterations, it still commands attention It was built about 1876 by John Whiteside, a plasterer For more information, see Larson 40) 319 West Pine Street Hersey -Bean House Built in 1879 by Edward Hersey, one of the lumbermen of Stillwater Probably designed by George Orff, this eclectic styled house is distinctive in Stillwater For more information, see Larson 41) 320 West Pine Street Hersey -Atwood House Built in 1883 by Edward Hersey after he sold his house across the street to Jacob Bean Designed by the nationally famous architect, William H Wilcox, it is said to be the first house in the state in the avant garde Shingle Style Recently restored, this is a gem of a house For more information, see Larson 42) 2007 Schulenburg Alley Dutchtown House This small house with its hatch in the loft is the only remaining example of what I have called "The Dutchtown House" in my Dutchtown survey (p 25) Unfortunately the house sits on a double lot, and will probably be gone by the time it might be designated Or the owner will not allow its designation For more information, see Empson Dutchtown Residential Area survey (This house was recently purchased for destruction ) 43) 504 North Second Street McKusick House This is the most complete example of French Second Empire Style in Stillwater On the National Register (with the wrong date), the front part of the house was added to a small house in the rear in 1872 according to a 28 Empson Report newspaper article Stillwater Messenger, July 12, 1872 For more information, see Larson 44) 1905 North Second Street Mill Workers House This is

Residential Area survey 45) 437 South Second Edward Durant House This was the site of Edward Durant's Itahanate house that appears in the Andreas Atlas The house was apparently extensively remodeled around 1910 It has a commanding site It is mentioned in the South Hill survey 46) 310 South Sixth Street John Booren House According to Larson, this house is typical of the carpenter designed homes of the period Because Booren was a member of the Stillwater Hardware Company, there is some unique hardware in the house For more information, see Larson 47) 522 South Sixth Street John Proctor House This is the second John Proctor house in Stillwater According to a newspaper listing of new construction, it was built in 1870, making it one of the first Itahanate houses in the city It is on a commanding lot as well There is a mention of it in the South Hill survey 48) 204 North Third Street Water Department Building Nicely maintained with much of its original integrity, this building should be on any local register 49) 401 North Third Street Register House Larson calls this the most complete example of the Greek Revival in Stillwater Built in the 1850s, this home is well maintained and preserved For more information, see Larson 50) 510 North Third Street Roney House Apparently built is different pieces beginning in 1867, this striking Itahanate house on its large lot is a commanding piece of Stillwater history For more information, see Larson 51) 611 South Third Street St Michael's Church There are several fine churches in Stillwater, this is highly visible and one of the best Well documented in a recent history 29 Empson Report 52) 703 South Third Street O'Shaughnessy House Built in 1870 in what was then noted as a "suburb," this house is a testament to the O'Shaughnessy family who lived in Stillwater for close to a century The 13th child of this family was Ignatius O'Shaughnessy, a leading philanthropist of Minnesota For more information, see Empson Churchill, Nelson & Slaughter survey 53) 704 South Third Street Tozer House Although modified over the years, this house retains the character of its 1874 origins David Tozer was a prominent Stillwater lumberman For more information, see Empson Churchill, Nelson & Slaughter survey 54) 719 South Third Street Glaspie House John Glaspie was a businessman and developer in 1888 when he had contractor Thomas Sutherland build this Queen Anne house with the most monumental house tower in Stillwater For more information, see Empson Churchill, Nelson & Slaughter survey, and Larson 55) 821 South Third Street Chalmers House William Chalmers, president of the St Croix Lumber Company had local contractors Adolph Sprich and Eugene Schmidt built this substantial home designed by architect William Kingsley of St Paul in 1895 For more information, see Empson Churchill, Nelson & Slaughter survey, and Larson 56) 904 South Third Street Joy House Built by David Tozer in 1874, and quickly leased to Frank Joy, this pristine house with its old storm windows and other period details, situated on a prominent corner of the city deserves greater recognition For more information, see Empson Churchill, Nelson & Slaughter survey, and Larson 57) 1306 South Third Avenue Lammers House On the National Register, this most extravagant Queen Anne home was built by another lumber baron in 1893 It is said to have been constructed by Norwegian carpenters For more information, see Larson 58) 1204 Third Avenue South Dudley Hersey House This relatively modest Italianate house has suffered some unfortunate alterations over the years, but I believe there are enough details —including some inside the house —to merit its inclusion on this list It was one of the three lumberman's houses to be built on this block in 1874, making these among the first (remaining) lumber barons houses in Stillwater, and giving identity to this part of Stillwater For more information see Empson Hersey, Staples & Co Addition survey 30 Empson Report 59) 205 East Walnut Street Spencer House Built about 1870, this is one of the few Gothic Revival houses in Stillwater and it happens to be set in a particularly romantic location For more information, see Larson 60) 907 West Willard Street Kern House There are five of these cute 1890's small Queen Anne houses in Stillwater, all of them nearly identical Three of them have been "restored," but this is the most recent restoration and best example Each of them, however, is a treasure 61) Rutherford Cemetery Manning Avenue north of Co Rd #12 This cemetery, established in the 1850s, served the "Rutherford Neighborhood" on both sides of Manning Avenue 31 Empson Report Historic Districts With a view to determining the potential historic districts in Stillwater, I viewed every house in the old part of Stillwater (Conservation District) and indicated whether it was 1) a house built since 1920, 2) a pre 1920 house that no longer had a significant portion of its original integrity, 3) a pre 1920 house that did have a significant portion of its original integrity, 4 ) potentially a Landmark House The accompanying map shows the results With this map, the members of the H P C have pretty much the same basis I do in determining an Historic District, so my recommendations are pretty much Just my opinion Besides the concentration of houses shown in my map, there are other administrative and political considerations that the H P C and city staff must reckon as well Based on the accompanying map, and my knowledge, I would recommend establishing the following three historic districts 1 ) Beginning at S Fourth Street and W Willard Street, south along S Fourth Street to W Orleans Street, east on Orleans Street to S First Street, north along S First Street to E Willard Street, west on Willard Street to S Fourth Street 2) Beginning at S Broadway and E Willard Street, northwest on Willard Street to E Pine Street, southwest on Pine Street to S Third Street, northwest on S Third Street to E Mulberry Street, west on Mulberry Street to N Everett Street, south on N Everett Street to W Myrtle Street, east on Myrtle Street to N Harriet Street, south on a line with N Harriet Street to W Oak Street, east on W Oak Street to S Holcombe Street, south on S Holcombe Street to W Willard Street, east on Willard Street to S Broadway 3) Beginning at N Fifth Street and W Mulberry Street, northwest on N Fifth Street to W Laurel Street, northeast on W Laurel Street to N Second Street, southeast on N Second Street to E Mulberry Street, southwest on a line with Mulberry Street to N Fifth Street 4) In 1881, the Stillwater City Council voted to give the Seymour Sabin & Co Company $100,000 to be financed by city bonds In return, the company agreed to build 100 houses within the city A series of these houses, ranging 32 Empson Report in value between $400 and $650 were built in Block 2 of Sabin's Addition, on Lots 1 7, and Lots 12 22 Today these houses have the addresses 501 to 717 on the south side of West Maple Street Within three years, most of the homes had been sold to private owners, but it is conceivable that these two blocks of nearly identical houses could be considered as a "mill workers historic district " There are serious issues of integrity, and the fact most of the houses remain fairly small bodes badly for their continued integrity More research should be done, and the home owners contacted to see what their sentiment might be In order to implement these historic districts it will be necessary, I believe, to spend a good deal of time in the neighborhoods talking to people, being available to answer questions, having neighborhood meetings A brochure or pamphlet could be created to distribute within the limits of the potential district Recommendations All three of these programs (Heirloom Houses, Landmark Sites, Historic Districts) will take a good deal of "face time" with residents To try and do it without ample discussion and agreement among the residents will be, I believe, to doom the projects for years to come Other recommendations I would make are 1) Survey the new additions to the city There are at least two old cemeteries and two old houses in the annexed area of the city 2) Do more thorough research on the sites of the North, South, and West hills These are the oldest parts of the city, and there are undoubtedly some very significant historic sites which have not yet been uncovered 3) Establish a program of private Facade Easements within the city This would insulate historic sites from a change in government that could undo all the protections 4) Change the name of Olive Street, west of the original city plat (Fifth Street) back to St Paul Road, commemorating one of the very few roads preceding Minnesota as a Territory 5) Go through all the previous surveys and consider the recommendations 33 Empson Report 6) Create a vacated streets policy in the comprehensive plan Ravines should also be included 7) Walking tours of downtown and neighborhoods should be researched, written, and available to the public 8) Consider a City Preservation Officer For what is being spent on contracts, it might even be cost effective It would also have the considerable advantage of having a history person on the city staff, working on a daily basis with the city staff 9) Of all the remnants of the 19th Century, there is none rarer than the outbuildings (barns, wagon sheds, chicken coops, etc) that used to be present throughout the city Perhaps a survey just of the remaining outbuildings should be done There could also be a separate "Outbuildings Register" with photos on the web, etc 10) When major excavations are made in the city (e g the Library), there is no monitoring of any objects that might happen to be found in the digging The city should appoint a staff member to be the historical liaison with the contractor, so that any objects brought to the surface are reported to that city staff member There should also be a clause in any contract with a contractor that any found items should be turned over to the city 11) Several old houses have been sacrificed because of what is termed "demolition by neglect" in the preservation literature There should be stricter enforcement of building codes on old houses that are being sorely neglected In St Paul, any building vacant for a year goes on a list If the building inspector condemns the house, then orders are issued for work on the house which goes against the title 12) It would be relatively easy to set up a "heritage tree" program with the city forester Just have people tell her of their old trees She could check them out, and with a boring, ascertain the trees age She could then keep a register of the type of tree, location, and age 13) Require demolitions to be researched by a real historian including the significance of the building as well as its history 34 919 11 A L 01 r11 N N F 101 A DATE APPLICANT Jesse Hamer of Tushie Montgomery PROPERTY Valley Ridge Shopping Center REQUEST Design Review for an Addition LOCATION 1250 Frontage Road West HPC REVIEW DATE July 5, 2006 REVIEWERS Interim Public Works Director, City Planner PREPARED BY Bill Turnblad, Community Development Director 4 r June 29, 2006 CASE NO 06-26DR BACKGROUND The owners of the Valley Ridge Shopping Center would like to construct a 9,100 square foot addition onto the west end of their facility About half of the space will likely be used for general retail tenants and the other half for restaurant space Since the subject property lies within the West Stillwater Business Park, a Design Review Permit is required prior to issuing a building permit The Heritage Preservation Comrrussion is charged with the responsibility of reviewing and approving or denying the Design Review Permit EVALUATION OF REQUEST 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 The site design standards found in the City Code for properties in the BP-C, Zoning District also apply Valley Ridge Shopping Center June 29 2006 Page 2 of 5 I West Business Park Plan A Architectural Standards a Page 20, Paragraph 1 specifies permitted exterior building materials i The proposed materials are permitted b Page 20, Paragraph 2 states that roof or ground mounted mechanical equipment as well as trash storage areas must be completely enclosed with building materials compatible with the principal structure Low profile self contained mechanical units which blend in with the building design can be located to the rear or side of the building i The addition is not shown to have outside garbage storage It is assumed that the tenants of the nezv space would use the existing dumpster area on the north side of the shopping center If this assumption is not correct, any proposed outside garbage storage would have to be enclosed The location and materials of the enclosure could be approved by the Community Development Director prior to issuance of a building permit Or if the HPC desires, it could be brought back for review and approval It The applicant has not specified where the addition's mechanical units will be located or how they will be screened This information will need to be submitted prior to issuance of a building permit If it is acceptable to the HPC, the location and screening of the equipment could be approved by the Community Development Director Or if the commission desires, it could be brought back for review and approval c Page 20, Paragraph 3 specifies that "architectural consistency on all sides of the building is required in terms colors, materials and details " i Valley Ridge Shopping Center is an eclectic mix of building materials, colors and architectural elements There are however a fezv commonalities throughout, which should probably be carried through to the proposed addition as well 1 The bell-tower-Itke vertical articulation found across the facade of the shopping center should probably be included in the proposed addition The best locations would be at the southwest and northwest corners of the building These bell - towers should be corner towers similar to the ones found on the bakery and Acapulco Restaurant (see attached photo) 2 The extra parapet height is inconsistent with the rest of the building However, this may be acceptable given the eclectic feel of the building as a whole Also, it would not exceed the height of the main entrance gable it The north elevation does not carry the architectural detailing of the rest of the addition This is required Though it is true that the north Valley Ridge Shopping Center June 29 2006 Page 3 of 5 elevation of the existing building does not have the required consistency of detail either, it pre -dates the requirement to have it Moreover, the addition will project beyond the setback of the existing buildings to the north which the existing building does not do Consequently, driving southbound on Northwestern Avenue will give a good view of the addition's north elevation Therefore, fenestration and building details found on the south and west elevations will need to be incorporated into the design for the addition B Landscaping Standards a This section of the business park plan relates to landscaping requirements Paragraph 1 clearly refers to "new development" Since the project is only an addition, the paragraph does not apply b It is arguable that the entire landscaping standards section is intended for "new development" and should not apply to the proposed project However, some augmentation of the property's existing landscaping is recommended There are well established trees along the north property line and a few along Northwestern Avenue There are also perenrual flower beds in some of the setback areas But the landscape plan could be improved with additional plantings II BP-C Zoning District Standards A Massing and Dimensional Standards a The proposed building height is less than the maximum allowed 40 feet b The setback from both the frontage road and Northwestern Avenue has to be 40 feet It appears that the setback from Northwestern Avenue may only be 30 feet c Only 60% of the property is allowed to be impervious surface The current site improvements exceed 60%, though the project is grandfathered The proposed improvements will not increase the amount of impervious surface d Front and side yard setback areas must be landscaped Since the property is already developed, the building addition would not necessarily trigger the need to relandscape all of the yard areas However, it would be nice to augment the landscaping B Miscellaneous a, Parking - The center together with the proposed new space will need 538 parking spaces The number of spaces available, including a new 21 space indoor garage, zinll meet the 538 space requirement b Lighting - An exterior lighting plan for the addition has not been submitted If it is acceptable to the HPC, the location and fixture details could be approved by the Community Development Director prior to issuance of a building permit Or if the commission desires, it could be brought back for review and approval Valley Ridge Shopping Center June

At the time of the commercial boom in Stillwater (1870's- 1900's) most buildings were owned and occupied by single businesses Merchants thought of their entire facade as potential sign space For this reason, the signs were all well coordinated In order to maintain this pattern it is important that tenants and owners cooperate to design a sign package, which will help to reunify the building facade similar to what was seen in era of Stillwater's commercial boom The proposed sign fails to coordinate with other signs on the building Materials - Apart from architectural signs, the original exterior signs of Stillwater were constructed of wood and painted Window signs were painted, etched or gilded This sign introduced materials, including metals, plastics, and neon that could lead to a confusion of signage, which detracts from the unique character of Stillwater Modern 1 216 Main St S Page 3 sign materials are acceptable provided their design is handled with an understanding of the Victorian spirit This sign, as an art deco style sign, fails to follow this guideline Additionally the guideline also states that internally lit and back -lit signs be avoided since their nature is inherently foreign to the solid character of brick and wood Victorian architecture and they are bound to strike a false and distracting note in the streetscape Shape - The signs of Stillwater were forthright and utilitarian Simple, framed rectangular boards were constructed to fill the available spaces A common type was the long narrow sign, which stretched across the top of the storefront windows The proposed sign fails to follow this guideline Color - The commercial structures of this time period did not use a wide range of paint colors The palette was particularly narrow, dark green, dark brown and black were common Signs were painted for contrast rather than for color -black letters on a white background, gold letters on a black background This sign with it proposed bright and jarring colors fails to follow this guideline Lighting - In the nineteenth century, Stillwater would have been dimly lit Today we expect our cities to be bright and lively at night We must achieve an acceptable standard of lighting without compromising the essential character of the historic setting Neon lights are permitted in window signs only and not part of any wall or projecting sign Additionally, internally or back -lit signs, either projecting, wall mounted, or hung inside the window are not to be used Staff acknowledges that the sign the applicant is replacing is an existing internally lit sign, however, this does not guarantee that the applicant have the right replace with another internally lit sign Other design considerations - In the applicant's letter he expressed the design of the sign is part of their branding effort that is vital to trademark their logos and graphic design It is true branding is important to many businesses in today's market place sensitivity to place, in this case Historic Downtown Stillwater, is equally important Take Starbucks for example, which is also located in the Grand Garage When you visit most Starbucks locations you will find the familiar internally lit green, white and black sign with the "Starbucks" mermaid hanging prominently in the front window In downtown Stillwater this sign is there, however, is a solid opaque sign with only the colors black and white Sensitivity to the design and character of Downtown Stillwater can be achieved at the same time allowing branding of a business with just a little creative effort on part of the design team RECOMMENDATION Since an affirmative finding could not be made for the review criteria, staff recommends denial of the requested design review permit 216 Main St S Page 4 FINDINGS 1 The proposal fails to meet the following chapters of the Stillwater City Code • 31-1 26(2), incomplete submittal • 31-1 26(8)f, failure to meet area, height, and lighting requirements • 31-1 26(8)a 1, business has no frontage along Main Street and is thus not allowed to have a sign along Main Street 2 The proposal fails to meet the guidelines of the Commercial Historic District Design Manual attachments Applicant's Form Applicant's Letter Elevation showing sign Picture of proposed sign DESIGN REVIEW APPLICATION FORM COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT CITY OF STILLWATER 216 NORTH FOURTH STREET STILLWATER, MN 55082 Case No Date Filed Receipt No Fee: $25.00 The applicant is responsible for the completeness and accuracy of all forms and supporting material submitted in connection with any application All supporting material (i e photos, sketches, etc ) submitted with application becomes the property of the City of Stillwater Photos, sketches and a letter of intent is required Fourteen (14) copies of all supporting materials are required All following information is required PROPERTY IDENTIFICATION Address of Project 3Z �� ��9cr, �� 0Z o S i- Assessors Parcel No i i (Required) Zoning District Description of Project in detail /l�,iw S, y,,e e., --1 S td glckl- Uli u 1- tr, a -

Redevelopment LOCATION 225 North Main Street HPC REVIEW DATE June 5, 2006 PREPARED BY Bill Turnblad, Community Development Director SV June 28, 2006 CASE NO DR/06-19 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 39,000 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 On May 8, 2006 the Planning Commission considered the variances and special use permits necessary to develop the project as originally proposed The Planning Comrrussion had concerns about the requested parking and height variances Consequently the commission demed the requests Subsequently, Mainstream Development Partnership filed an appeal of the Planning Commission action In addition, the developer substantially down -sized the proposed building The first version of the building had approximately 62,000 square feet of space distributed amongst four stories (five levels with the basement garage) The size of the revised building as presented to the City Council on June 20, 2006 was reduced to about 46,000 square feet distributed amongst only three stones (four levels with the basement garage) The City Council discussed the revised plans and was generally satisfied with the building and its proposed uses, but was uncomfortable with the height variance that was necessary The Council also acknowledged that parking needed additional consideration As a result of Council comments, the developer has submitted a third version of the building The size of this version is 39,000 square feet distributed over two stories (three levels with the basement garage) In this version, 227 North Main Street June 28, 2006 Page 2 of 4 another story has been removed, which means now there are no residential units but there is also no need for a height variance The developer appeared before the Heritage Preservation Commission on May 1 and June 5, 2006 The commission approved the design review permit for the previous version of the building The architectural details of this version of the building are the same as all previous versions, except of course that there are fewer stories now However, with the loss of the residential units, the roof will no longer be active and more venting will be potentially visible SPECIFIC REQUEST In order to develop the property as proposed, Mainstream Development would need the following City approvals 1 Special Use Permit for a private parking facility for more than five cars m the Central Business District 2 86 stall variance from minimum number of required parking spaces 3 Vacation of City s parking easement over parking lot north of hardware store 4 Demolition permit for removal of the hardware store 5 Design review permit Since the project is located in Stillwater's historic downtown district, the Heritage Preservation Comrrussion is required to review and take action on the design review permit portion of the request In addition, as a separate agenda item of the July 5 commission meeting, the Heritage Preservation Commission will need to consider the requested demolition permit EVALUATION OF REQUEST As just noted, the property is located withm the City's historic downtown district Consequently, the design standards found in the Design Manual, Commercial Historic Dastrit 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 prehmunary stage 2 Full sized architectural and civil engineering drawings are required in order to do a thorough design review Only reduced size drawings were submitted for the revised building design 227 North Main Street June 28, 2006 Page 3 of 4 3 The massing of the revised building is compatible with the buildings already on the block 4 A color rendered view of the building from Mulberry Point on the St Croix River should be submitted 5 A view from the blufflme at Pioneer Park should be provided This view needs to include rooftop detailing 6 It appears that without the residential floor, rooftop mechanical equipment will be out in the open on the roof Is this acceptable to the Heritage Preservation Commission? 7 The building materials and architectural elements of the revised building are much the same as the previous version of the building Since the previous version was generally acceptable to the Heritage Preservation Commission and to City staff, this version is also acceptable ALTERNATIVES The Heritage Preservation Commission has the following options 1 Approve the design review as submmtted 2 Deny the design review if the level of detail subrrutted by the apphcant is not sufficient for the Commission to visualwe 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 preluiunary level of detail, staff would not recommend final approval However, staff does feel comfortable recommending prehmmary approval of the project, with the followmg conditions 1 Prior to approval of a final design review permit, colored rendering perspectives of the exterior elevations from the Pioneer Park bluff -line and from Mulberry Point on the St Croix River must be submitted and approved by the HPC 2 Prior to approval of a final design review permit, detailed full scale building floor plans and elevations showing all exterior materials and color choices shall be submitted to, reviewed by and approved by the HPC 3 Prior 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 ventmg, roof stacks, etc 4 No rooftop venting or other penetrations are allowed except those specifically approved by the HPC and the City Council 5 No mechanical equipment shall be allowed on the rooftop 227 North Main Street June 28, 2006 Page 4 of 4 6 All utilities and mechanical equipment shall either be mternally located or completely screened from general pubhc views This includes the mechanical equipment on the ground at the southeast corner of the building This does not include utility venting, which 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 application must be approved by the HPC and City's Building Official prior to demolition of the hardware store 8 Prior 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 application must be submitted to and approved by City staff prior to installation of any signs on the project site 9 Prior to approval of a final design review permit, an exterior lighting plan must be submitted to, reviewed by and approved by the HPC 10 Prior to approval of a final design review permit, a drainage plan must be submitted to, reviewed by and approved by

V Win Design Guidelines o Dependent on building design, no setback may be required along Main Street o Required parking shall be provided on site o Access to parking areas shall be limited to Mulberry and Main Street for commercial uses o The project design and landscape plan should complement the new streetscape design for the North Main Street area o A landscaped buffer or residential use shall be located along Second Street. o The Central Business District and Downtown Design Guidelines shall be met. ,;i 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 infill buildings should fit into the fabric 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 pnnciple for new construction in histonc Downtown Stillwater is to maintain the scale and character of present buildings Generally new structures should provide height, massing, setback, matenals 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 mfill or small-scale construction Design Principles for Restoration and Rehabilitation Many buildings in Downtown Stillwater retain their onginal character, there are also many buildings that have been altered so drastically since they were first constructed that little remains of their onginal design Rear walls and upper floors of older buildings sometimes show their ongmal character and from these areas one can imagine the ongmal 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 Historic Preservation Office, the Washington County Historical 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 ongmal building New designs may be appropriate if the building has been altered to the point that the original design has been destroyed Any new design should respect the proportions as well as the detailing of the ongmal design and should use materials, which are consistent with those used in the ongmal 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 period 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 quahty that maintains 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 ongmal m composition, design color, texture and appearance Duplication of ongmal design based on physical or pictonal evidence is preferable to usmg conjectural of "period" 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 significant 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 buildings 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 m the city where people could go to see people, and be seen Downtown Main 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 Maintaining 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 shopping mall ever created Guidehnes • The design of the building should help make the street enjoyable, visually interesting and comfortable Individual buildings should be integrated with the streetscape to bung activity in 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 m a row and you've killed the attraction to pedestnans It doesn't work in a mall and it doesn't work downtown • Natural fight should be allowed to penetrate into the store mtenor • Displays should allow the customer a full view of the store mtenor • 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 • Existing uninterestmg street facades can be enhanced with detailing, artwork, landscaping or other visually mterestmg features DESIGN MANUAL, COMMERCIAL HISTORIC DISTRICT, STILLWATER, MINNESOTA 1 _) 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, materials 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 wilh the charactenstics of pedestrian onented commercial storefronts Guidelines • Trademark buildings are prohibited 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 m 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 • Matenais • 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 1 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 pedestrian expinence It is far better to build nght up to the sidewalk and facilitate 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 remains on creating a space that complements and enhances the streetscape Guidehnes • Infil1 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 contnbutes to the quality and character of Maui 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 pedestrian way AVOID SETBACK FROM ADJACENT BUILDINGS BUILD IN LINE WITH ADJACENT BUILDINGS DESIGN MANUAL, COMMERCIAL HISTORIC DISTRICT STILLWATER MINNESOTA 10 3 DESIGN MANUAL, COMMERCIAL HISTORIC DISTRICT STILLWATER MINNESOTA 9 1 Proportion Backround On Main Street, new buildmg 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 wmdows can drastically impact the existing pattern of narrow, high facade openings such as wmdows 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, window 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 buildmgs 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 m,mmum, and within ten percent (10%) of existing adjacent buildmgs • Proposals should stnve to mamtam 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 l �1 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 expenence Guidelines • Every effort should be made to maximize the retail space directly on Main Street and locate parking areas behind 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 material 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 parking taking place behind businesses, the rear entrance is an important public access Guidelines • 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 1 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 bnck 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 roofhne Residemial structures usually have some flat roofs, often hidden by the extension of the from the roof plane is great, sometimes doubling the height dram), with articulated parapets These parapets, a visually interesting 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 pedestrians 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 building 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 expenence 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 in 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 tin conuces, corbelled bnckwork, pronounced window lintels and sills are examples of the ornamentation most often seen in Stillwater's Histonc Downtown District Guidehnes • The characteristic architectural features should never be removed or altered unless it is absolutely necessary • Building alterations should restore architectural details of conuces, lintels, bnck arches, chimneys and ironwork of the ongmal building as appropnate 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 detaililing • Infi11 architecture should reflect some of the detailmg of surrounding buildings in window shape, cornice lines and brick work DESIGN MANUAL COMMERCIAL HISTORIC DISTRICT STILLWATER MINNESOTA 1 j 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 wmdows and httle or no spacing between openings Upper story openings are predominantly narrow with a vertical onentation that accompanies double -hung windows Guidelines • The size and proportion of windows and door openings of an mfill 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 original character appropriate • Avoid concealing the ongmal facade The majonty of storefronts have very common elements that include (1) entries, (2) kick plates, (3) display windows, (4) transom windows and a horizontal area for a canopy or sign Transom windows Display windows Entry Kick Plates 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 dayhght to enter deep into the intenor of the space When operable, they allowed excessive heat to escape Transoms also continued the transparent quahty 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 ceihngs 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 m,n,mum 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 mfill building, window frames should be wood, or appropnately 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 conflictmg 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 _I J Facade Openings 3 ENTRIES Background Commercial storefront entries were typically recessed from the front plane of the structure This provided a sheltered transition area to the mtenor of the store, more area for display space, and helped to emphasize the location of the entrance Guidelines • Recessed entnes should be retained m existmg buildings and required in new storefront construction • Commercial entry doors use large, glass panels with vertical proportions to aid a sense of invitation and openness to the business • 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 accessories 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 window by raising the glass area to a safer and more easily viewed height Histoncally matenals have included wood panels, stone, bnck and ceramic tile Guidelines • The ongmal 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 bnck, stone or wood Many of the original wood buildings have been lost to fire or decay leaving the masonry buildings as the lone remnants Compatability with similar exterior construction materials m the immediate area is recommended m order to maintain the distinct character and harmony of the area Guidelines • An infill building and facade should be composed of matenals similar to ongmal adjacent facades (example local bnck or stone) • New buildings should not stand out agamst the others but be compatable with the general area • The use of exposed or pamted concrete masonry units is not acceptable • The use of materials that attempt to mimic traditional materials is unacceptable An example would be fiberglass panels that are molded to look like real bnck, or vmyl molded to look like wood honzontal lap siding 11 AVOID INRODUCING DISSIMILAR MATERIALS DESIGN MANUAL, COMMERCIAL HISTORIC DISTRICT, STILLWATER, MINNESOTA 22 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 estabhshed by adjacent buildmgs The tasteful use of color and accent can introduce vanety and charm, whereas the mdiscnmmate use of colors and color combmations can overload the senses and produce visual conflict and chaos Exercise caution m the use of colors and tone combmations and their patterns The goal is to achieve an area -wide complementary blend of background colors combined with selected and limited uses of pnmary and focal colors Guidelines • 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 back or other natural building materials should dictate the color family choice • Painting new mfill buildings is prohibited DESIGN MANUAL, COMMERCIAL HISTORIC DISTRICT STILLWATER MINNESOTA 23 Lighting Background Lighting can add special character to the nighttime appearance of the Downtown It can illununate building entrances, pedestrian walkways, and advertismg or floodhght special buildings However, if left without consideration of the entire downtown expenence unchecked lighting can produce visual chaos, waste energy and create safety concerns Guidelines • A coordinated hghtmg plan should be submitted for review with building plans Provide information on each individual light 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 fight fixtures are not appropriate DESIGN MANUAL, COMMERCIAL HISTORIC DISTRICT STILLWATER MINNESOTA 24 1 J 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 dayhght in when needed Secondanly the awnings provided protection for pedestrians and only on occasion did the awning get used for signage Lettering 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 appropriate • 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) niches in height • Signing on awnings is permitted (in place of other sign types) on the end panel or front valance only Use lettering size proportional to the space available • Back lighting of the awnings is inappropriate, • Use plain or striped fabrics Large areas of bnght colors are mappropnate DESIGN MANUAL, COMMERCIAL HISTORIC DISTRICT STILLWATER MINNESOTA 25 co) fRlirm 227

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 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 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 City of Stillwater Heritage Preservation Commission June 5 2006 Case No DR/06-19 Design review of a planned unit development for a mixed use retail office and residential use with underground parking in the Central Business District located at 227 N Main St Mainstream Development Partnership LLC applicant Continued from the May 1 2006 meeting Present were Tim Stefan and Vern Stefan Tim Stefan said that in response to the discussion at the May meeting their proposal had been altered and one floor removed He provided various models of the building with various roof styles He also provided some samples of the proposed building materials The first floor of the building would house retail uses with a recessed entry from Main Street The second floor would house office use The second floor would feature 12' ceilings and clad windows The third floor would be utilized for four living units A gabled roof would allow mechanicals to be hidden unlike a flat roof where mechanicals would have to be on the roof Mr Stefan stated he preferred the gabled roof and Commission members agreed Mr Stefan also noted that they are requesting a variance to the 10 percent infill height regulation According to the infill regulations the height would be limited to 10 percent of the adjacent building or 32 3' , they are proposing a building 37 3 in height Mr Johnson spoke to some of the revisions made by the applicant in response to the Commission's comments at the May meeting Mr Lieberman agreed that many of the issues raised at the previous meeting had been addressed and addressed well but he noted that given the need for a variance, the Commission can t approve the plans until that issue is resolved Mr Lieberman moved to give concept approval to the revised plans and materials as being consistent with the Downtown Design Guidelines with final resolution pending the outcome of the demolition permit and height variance, it also was stated that in giving concept approval the Commission offers no opinion as to whether a demolition permit will be issued or height variance granted Mr Eastwood seconded the motion, motion passed unanimously I F OIRTHP A F OF MINNESOIA DATE APPLICANT Robin Partch, Northern Vineyards REQUEST Reconsideration of Design Review Conditions LOCATION 223 North Main HPC REVIEW DATE July 5, 2006 PREPARED BY Bill Turnblad, Community Development Director June 29, 2006 CASE NO DR/06-20 1, BACKGROUND On May 1, 2006 the Heritage Preservation Commission approved the design review for an arbor on the second floor deck at Northern Vineyards Winery The approval was given with the condition that the rear of the building be cleaned up by enclosing the dumpsters and removing all items that are stored outside The rear of the building has been cleaned up now The large fermentation tanks have been stored off -site and all of the various smaller items have been removed as well What remains outside against the building are two pieces of stainless steel equipment that are used during harvest season for destemming, crushing and pressing grapes Enclosing the dumpsters has not been done yet As Mr Partch and city staff began to address the dumpster issue it became clear that enclosing the two Northern Vineyards dumpsters would not have an appreciable aesthetic impact River Market and Northern Vineyards have dumpster areas located side by side behind their businesses Enclosing the two Northern Vineyards dumpsters will do nothing to remedy the dumpster unsightliness, since the River Market dumpsters dwarf the Northern Vineyard dumpsters both in terms of number and size SPECIFIC REQUEST Amend the condition of approval by 1) Allowing the two pieces of stainless steel equipment to be stored outside, and 2) Requiring enclosure of the Northern Vineyard dumpsters only when the River Market dumpsters are enclosed Northern Vineyards Page 2 EVALUATION OF REQUEST The winery layout and flow of operations during the harvest season does not allow the two pieces of stainless steel equipment to be used inside They have to be used outside where the grapes are delivered Moreover, the equipment is heavy and is not designed or built to be moved around during the non -harvest portion of the year Therefore, the request to leave the equipment outside is reasonable With regard to the dumpsters, requiring Northern Vineyards to enclose their dumpsters without addressing the much larger issue of dumpsters on the immediately abutting River Market property is ineffective The grocery store has many more dumpsters than Northern Vineyards and they are larger as well Any real solution to the unsightliness must also include the grocery store dumpsters ALTERNATIVES The Heritage Preservation Commission has several options, including 1 Leave the condition of approval as it is This action would have the effect of requiring Northern Vineyards to relocate their two pieces of stainless steel equipment indoors and to enclose their two dumpsters 2 Amend the condition of approval to a) require enclosure of the Northern Vineyard dumpsters when the River Market dumpsters are enclosed, and/or b) allow the two pieces of stainless steel equipment to remain outside 3 Table the request for more details RECOMMENDATION Staff finds both Northern Vineyard requests to be reasonable Moreover, the rear of the building looks dramatically better now than it did before the Heritage Preservation Commission asked Mr Partch to clean up the area Therefore, staff recommends Alternative 2 approval of the requested amendment cc Robin Partch attachments Applicant s letter HPC Minutes Northern

Preservation Commission, Mmnesota Winegrowers Cooperative dba Northern Vineyards Winery, 223 North Main Street asked for and received permission to construct a grape arbor on our second -floor deck facing Water Street and the river The Commission made it a condition of approval that the equipment stored in the rear of the building be stored inside I have moved offsite all of the polyethylene tanks that we use for fermentation Other items have been removed as waste That leaves two pieces of stainless steel equipment used for destemming, crushing, and pressing the grapes we receive during harvest season, August through October This equipment and the surroundings are cleaned on a daily basis when we are processing grapes, and are stored in a clean condition during the offseason I would ask that those pieces be allowed to stay in the area underneath the deck They are quite heavy and not really built to be moved around Thank you for your consideration Sincerely, Robin Partcn, General

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'bther 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

Stillwater, MN 55082 Gentlemen Attached is a Demolition Request for the property at 1010 Third Avenue South The following information is attached in compliance with Ordinance No 814 dated December 5, 1995 Based on the definitions in Subd 2, the house for wluch a demolition permit is being sought is of Potential Histonc Significance since it is more than 50 years old It is not Histoncally Significant since it is not "any building or structure or portion of a building or structure on the National Histonc Register, a designated local landmark or a contnbuting structure or building in a designated national register histonc district " Since the structure is of Potential Histonc Significance the procedure of Subd 5 is being followed The following information is attached (1) A survey (in lieu of a map)which shows the location of the structure to be demolished on its property and with reference to the surrounding properties Please note that Lots 15, 17, and 18 to the west and lots 3, 4, and 5 to the north have houses on them (Lot 16 to the west is vacant) To the east, there are two houses across from the property, one of which was built about 10 years ago (2) The legal description is at the top of the attached survey (3) Photographs are attached (4) Mr Vernon Rylander prepared an inspection report on September 10, 1997 The report contains a description of the building which is shown as the house on lot 3 of the survey A copy of that report is attached (5) The structure cannot be economically restored Mr R P Gunderson, an engineer and a officer of McGough Construction Co , Inc concluded in his evaluation that restoring the house would cost $165,400 +/_, about 25% more than the cost of building a new house with modern conveniences A copy of his evaluation is attached (6) Detailed plans for the reuse of the property have not been completed At this tune, it is anticipated that the property will be developed with one or two houses appropriate to the area This will be easily accommodated within the existing zoning (RB) Plans will be developed beginnung next summer, after the house is removed and sight lines can be firmly established (7) The plan contemplated will be in compliance within existing zoning and within the guidelines of the comprehensive plan (8) Given the condition of the structure and the cost of renovation, there is no alternative to demolition (9) Attached is a copy of an ad and a receipt for the ad in the Gazette which ran on Monday, November 10, 1997 No response has been received to date other than one query
