All in favor. OPEN FORUM There were no public comments. UNFINISHED BUSINESS There was no unfinished business. NEW BUSINESS Northland Park New Playground Feedback and Public Forum Parks Superintendent Grode stated that the City solicited comments on the new play structure proposed for Northland Park. One response was received, asking for clarification on the plans. He shared his responses to the resident, explaining the location, drainage plans, and tree planting. The swings will remain and benches will be put added. Installation will probably take place right after July 4th. Motion by Chairman Brandt, seconded by Commissioner Christensen, to recommend that the City Council approve the Northland Park New Playground plan as proposed. All in favor. Summer Tuesdays Event Mr. Grode reviewed the application for Summer Tuesdays to be held on Tuesday evenings from June 29 to August 10 in N. Lowell Park. The set-up is the same as the 2019 event. Motion by Commissioner Snellman, seconded by Commissioner Souter, to recommend that the City Council approve the event application for Summer Tuesdays. All in favor. Bridge the Valley Bike Rally Event Parks and Recreation Commission Meeting April 26, 2021 Mr. Grode explained that the Bridge the Valley Bike Rally is proposed to be held on Sunday, August 15 in N. Lowell Park. Rick Heidick, Stillwater Sunrise Rotary, explained the rally is a charity fundraiser. Registration will be at the end of the lift bridge. There will be six different routes starting at that location with staggered times. Every route crosses the St. Croix River. He reviewed the routes. Commissioner Johnson said she hopes registration fees will be family -friendly. Mr. Heidick replied that registration for a single rider is $30 and there is a family discount. Sponsorships and donated registrations are being explored. Funds raised go to Stillwater Sunrise Rotary Club which uses the funds for various service projects. Councilmember Polehna said the bridge dinner is tentatively being planned for Friday night, the grand opening of the trail for Saturday, and this rally will end the weekend activities. Motion by Chairman Brandt, seconded by Commissioner Christensen, to recommend that the City Council approve the Bridge the Valley Bike Rally Event. All in favor. OTHER ITEMS OF DISCUSSION Public Works Superintendent Moore stated that a grant for downtown bike racks was received. The racks will be ordered and installed at Nelson/Main, Myrtle/Main, and the Lowell Park bathrooms. Staff has developed some bike routes and signs have been installed. Contracts are completed for the pickleball courts at Northland, for work to begin June 1 and take about one month; and also for the Laurel Street steps which will take about one month. Councilmember Polehna updated the Commission on various projects. Discover Stillwater and the Chamber calculated that the number of people using Brown's Creek Trail went up from 153,000 in 2019 to 260,000 in 2021, a 70% increase. Sustainable Stillwater has been working with the City to get a bicycle -friendly community designation for Stillwater. Due to no fireworks being shipped from China, there will be no fourth of July fireworks. He has been exploring other options. Fireworks may be available by the bridge opening celebration in August. The world snow sculpting competition will probably occur in Stillwater in January 2022, bringing 65,000 people to Stillwater over five days. Mr. Grode noted there was discussion of having certain smaller elements of Lumberjack Days this year, but not the entire event. No application has been received. Commissioner Christensen asked about the informational sign by the concrete pad near the Dock Cafe. Mr. Moore said the sign will be used for a trail map and other information. ADJOURNMENT Motion by Commissioner Snellman, seconded by Chairman Brandt, to adjourn. All in favor.

Eskierka, property owner REQUEST: Consideration of a fee -in -lieu of land for park and trail dedication associated with the subdivision of land located at 7959 Neal Avenue North PREPARED BY: Graham Tait, City Zoning Administrator BACKGROUND Susan Eskierka would like to split her lot at 7959 Neal Avenue North. This lot is a 2.33 acre lot containing the owner's residence. The property was developed prior to being annexed into the City of Stillwater from Stillwater Township. EVALUATION The Stillwater Comprehensive Plan does not identify this property as an area for future park development. It is additionally within a '/4 Mile Park Service Area. Upon review of the City's Trails and Sidewalks plan, a trail is proposed to be located along the eastern side of Neal Avenue North. This trail is being constructed as part of the 2021 Neal Avenue North street construction project. RECOMMENDATION City staff recommends a cash dedication of $2,5001 for the subdivision of 7959 Neal Avenue North park and trail obligations. These fees would be due prior to release of the deeds for filing with Washington County. Attachments: Site Location Map Certificate of Survey City Trails and Sidewalks Plan City Park Plan ' The amount of $2,500 is calculated as follows: $2,000 for park dedication and $500 for trail dedication.

A primary catalyst for report development was to understand the conditions of the structure and site as local Rotary groups are interested in the adoption of the structure and its surroundings. The City received the final report in February of this year; it attached to this memo for Commission review. REPORT SUMMARY Overall, the 98-year old Pavilion is in relatively good condition though component conditions vary. Pages 14-59 detail assessment of the individual components. If temporary and permanent rehabilitation efforts are implemented, the total project cost would be (approximately) $350k; it is recommended to conduct this work in the next two years though a significant amount of work (and cost) is recommended to be conducted within the year. Outlined on pages 64-67, the consultant provided recommendations for future maintenance and upgrades. While the structure is in need of routine maintenance (i.e. scraping, sanding and painting) that could be done in partnership with the local Rotary groups, the structure's primary components (foundation and roof) are in poor condition. A few things worth noting: • As the structure has been withstanding annual flooding and freeze/thaw cycles, the foundation is in need of replacement. The replacement cost is estimated at $135k. • Though the structure is not in danger of collapse, temporary shoring of the foundation wall for stabilization and collapse prevention has been identified as Critical, requiring immediate action. The temporary shoring cost is estimated at $34k. • Other repairs, including roof replacement and wood and metal repairs are estimated at $167k. It should be noted that, if the City choses to stabilize the foundation, the $34k estimated cost is on top of the $135k replacement cost. In other words, if the City opts to stabilize at this time and wait to repair, the total cost for the foundation will be approximately $170k. COUNCIL DIRECTION At the May 4, 2021 City Council meeting, the Council directed staff to utilize an estimated $34K of lease revenues to temporarily stabilize the pavilion's foundation. The Council also directed staff to utilize $6,500 of 2021 budgeted funds to develop footing and foundation replacement plans. As the structure is listed as contributing to the Stillwater Commercial Historic District, the work is eligible for (competitive) funding from the Minnesota Historical Society; the next round of large -grant application submissions is September, 2021. Staff will work towards the submission of a September, 2021 Minnesota Historical Society grant application submission and explore private foundation options for a grant match.

CLEAN WATER LAND & LEGACY .NIFNI}SME NT MINNE$QTA IiISTQRIfAL & CULTURAL GRANTS FINAL REPORT Lowell Park Pavilion and Levee Wall Report 03 February 2021 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY CDG Project #19078.00 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Lowell Park Pavilion is part of the 1911 design of the waterfront in Stillwater, Minnesota. The Pavilion was one of the final pieces to the design, completed in 1923. The wooden structure with concrete base sits at the center of Lowell Park in downtown Stillwater. Of the 1923 structure, the footings, foundations, stairs to the river, steel substructure (clad in wood) and the rafter tails are original. Although not original, the roofs which were added in the 1930s are now part of the historic fabric of the building. The City of Stillwater has done on- going maintenance, including replacement of deteriorated wood cladding. The wooden members that form an open canopy at the fascia vary in condition, but in general are fair to good condition. Columns are structurally sound, showing some water staining and small amounts of deterioration at their bases. The open metal lattice work at the top of the columns, forming the upper perimeter of the structure is in a similar condition. It is at the lower and upper most portion of the building where there is water and age deterioration. At the fascia, soffit and rafter tails the condition good with limited areas of poor to inadequate condition. Because these areas are limited in scope, patching and repairing with consolidant or replacing with like materials will be possible. The structure sits on a concrete base that is open below. As the river yearly overtakes the banks, the concrete structure has born most of the damage. In the springtime, the water of the St. Croix often crests at the floor of the pavilion. The surge in river water has caused serious damage to the foundation. On the west side of the foundation, that holding up the soil on the downtown side, is in poor condition with a large crack that runs horizontally around the foundation at approximately grade height. Portions of this crack open to more than 5". Concrete beams and the front wall of the structure are in fair condition, having survived better than the walls. Concrete stairs lead from the east and west up to the pavilion. Additionally, there is a set of stairs that flank the structure but are not part of it. These flanking stairs are in inadequate to poor condition, having given way from their side walls and are no longer plumb. The stairs at the building are in poor to fair condition. The sidewalk and seawall on the river side of the pavilion are in good condition. These two items tie the pavilion to a river walk that runs the length of Lowell Park. Given their condition, location at the water's edge and their good condition work in these areas is not recommended. There are two roofing materials on the building. The main double -hipped is clad in wood shakes. This roof is in unsatisfactory condition. Shakes are missing and cracked, allowing water to penetrate the roof. This does not appear to have caused any structural damage yet. To each side of the main roof is a lower flat roof with membrane and pea -gravel ballast. The membrane appears to be in tack. However, water damage at the roof near the scuppers is evident and is causing damage at the fascia and rafter tails. There is an electrical panel that serves the pavilion. The panel is in inadequate condition, as is the wiring running to two overhead lights and several outlets at the soffit. The panel is not FINAL REPORT Lowell Park Pavilion and Levee Wall Report 03 February 2021 CDG Project #19078.00 secured and does not appear to be marine grade. Having the panel unsecured is an inadequate condition. Given the condition of the structure, it is possible to rehabilitate and stabilize it for future use. The biggest concern will be the rehabilitation of the concrete foundation and finding appropriate ways to protect it from future damage by flooding of the St. Croix River.

Located in Lowell Park along Stillwater's historic riverfront, the Pavilion is a popular destination for visitors and residents alike. Located adjacent and on top of the seawall fronting the St. Croix River through downtown, the structure is subject to periodic flooding. This is an open-air structure that has two faces one to downtown Stillwater and the other to the St. Croix River. The wooden structure is positioned on a poured concrete base. The base rises above Lowell Park by some 30 inches. Positioned as it is, the Pavilion is the center piece to Lowell Park, centered half -way between the north and south ends of the park. From this vantage point there are views of Wisconsin, the St. Croix river, the historic lift bridge, and historic downtown Stillwater.

FINAL REPORT 1 Lowell Park Pavilion Historic Structures Report 03 February 2021 SITE AND BUILDING DESCRIPTION CDG Project #19078.00 Geographic Location The Lowell Park Pavilion is located in Washington County in the City of Stillwater, Minnesota. The City of Stillwater is located on the east side of the state of Minnesota, in Washington County, and is the county seat. Washington County borders the St. Croix River, which separates Minnesota and Wisconsin. Stillwater sits within the St. Croix floodplain with its back against the high bluffs to the west. Site Location Stillwater Minneapolis According to the National Register nomination, the area was greatly improved after an 1852 landslide which destroyed many of the early buildings and added around 10 feet of fill to a six -acre area in the heart of what is now downtown (6, 8 (see also ref. 7, since this is cited). Over time more area within the floodplain was infilled, which gave birth to the property that is Lowell Park today. Lowell Park Pavilion is in downtown Stillwater.

FINAL REPORT 3 Lowell Park Pavilion Historic Structures Report 03 February 2021 SITE AND BUILDING DESCRIPTION CDG Project #19078.00 Constructed in the craftsman style, the Lowell Park Pavilion is an open-air wood structure sitting on a poured concrete foundation. The massing of the structure is in three parts, a center square section flanked on either side by a rectangle shaped wing. The three sections of the structure are distinguished by their height, roof style and roofing material. At the center is a double -hipped roof clad with wooden shakes. The lower roofs drop down about 28" from the eaves of the center roof. These roofs are flat, membrane roofs with pea -gravel ballast. Accenting the flat roofs are decorative rafter tails. Below these is a two -foot lattice work band. The lattice work band and the rafter tails die into the columns supporting the center roof structure. At each of the corners of each roof section are three structural columns, those at the center roof being approximately 1.5 times as large as the columns at the lower roofs. All of the columns are simple and clean, only decorated at the head and base where there are single bands of wood trim. Between the columns are straight -spindled railings. The original wood railings have been replaced with painted metal railings for safety and durability. The new railings mimic the craftsman style and size. On the west side, the downtown side, the poured concrete base rises up approximately 30", on the river side the base rises up over five feet. The pavilion can be accessed from both sides via a pair of opposing poured in place concrete stairs. There are slight differences in the stairs, with the river side stair being flanked by concrete railing which gives it a monumental feeling. South elevation shows column symmetry. Simple square columns are accented by lattice work. Below the concrete floor of the pavilion is an open area that had been used for storage. This area is subject to flooding. Water from the St. Croix River is often up to the floor of the pavilion. The structure of the building is clearly visible. The slab of the pavilion floor consists of concrete beams with a poured in place concrete slab. This structure system makes it possible to have this area free of any structural columns. The west wall of the pavilion serves as both structural support of the pavilion above and as a retaining wall, holding back the soil of the COLLABORATIVE 1)esignGroup, .

Under the pavilion is a storage area with a concrete floor that extends from under the building to the edge of the water forming the walkway at the St. Croix River. To the north and south of the pavilion are stairs leading directly from the walkway in front of the pavilion down to the sidewalk at the water's edge. These stairs are part of the outer seawall that aligns with the back of the pavilion. At the monumental stairs, the sidewalk bows out into the river. Here and along the entire river walk, concrete obelisks support heavy chains that form a "railing" between the sidewalk and the river. Although the Pavilion remains true to its original construction and design, some of the building components have been replaced in -kind due to deterioration. The remaining original building components are the footings, foundations, the masonry stair leading to the water, the metal substructure columns (wrapped in wood) and some of the rafter tails. Most of the restoration/rejuvenation was done in the 1980s when the building was restored to its 1930s look. The most notable difference between the look of the original construction and the 1930s look is the replacement of the open-air rafter trellis with the roofs. COLLABORATIVE ❑esignGroup, ..

FINAL REPORT 6 Lowell Park Pavilion Historic Structures Report 03 February 2021 BUILDING HISTORY AND SIGNIFICANCE CDG Project #19078.00 BUILDING HISTORY AND SIGNIFICANCE Brief History of the Lowell Park Pavilion The founding of Lowell Park, and subsequently the erection of the Pavilion, directly coincides with Stillwater's transition away from the lumbering industry. Stillwater saw dramatic changes in the early 1900s when the lumber industry collapsed, affecting the economy as well as the appearance of the riverfront. Stillwater gradually embraced recreation and tourism as its new economic driver. The redesign of the riverfront into Lowell Park in 1911 marked the transition from an industrial focus for the city (2, -). At the height of Stillwater's lumbering success and as the industry later declined, the City Beautiful movement developed in cities across the country, including in Stillwater (1, 29). City Beautiful is a subset of the larger, progressive social reform movement from the turn of the century that promoted beauty not only for its own sake, but also to create moral and civic virtue among urban populations. Stillwater showed early moves toward this progressivism, including initiating streetcar service in 1889, establishing itself as a destination on the Minneapolis and St. Paul Suburban Railway and the building of a Carnegie Library in 1903 (3, 19). The establishment of Lowell Park in 1911 is seen as the direct result of the City COLLABORATIVE Lowell Par in 19181.1I.AI S). Stillwater levee construction, south end of Lowell Park.

FINAL REPORT 7 Lowell Park Pavilion Historic Structures Report 03 February 2021 BUILDING HISTORY AND SIGNIFICANCE CDG Project #19078.00 Beautiful movement taking hold in Stillwater (1, 29). Additionally, Lowell Park is considered the first step in reworking the city's gateway and accommodating automobile traffic (3, 19). A portion of the property of present-day Lowell Park was secured as parkland in 1910 with both a combination of public and private funds (1, 53). Designed originally by William A. Finklenburg, occupying the land between Myrtle and Chestnut, "Levee Park" was characterized by a 40'-0" wide boat landing and a stone levee. It was also known for its garden, manicured lawn, ornamental benches, and a concrete bench -wall overlooking the river (5, 5). The concrete seawall was built in 1913, 3'-0" west of the stone levee (2). Soon after, the park was expanded north and renamed Lowell Park, in honor of local hotelier Elmore Lowell, who made the largest private donation (1, 53). Stillwater contracted with the landscape firm of Morell & Nichols, who produced plans for the extension in 1917 and developed the "Plan of Stillwater" in 1918. The Pavilion, part of the Morell & Nichols design, was completed in 1923 (3, 19). The Morell & Nichols plan for Lowell Park embraced the City Beautiful movement, creating a formal and orderly approach to the paths, gardens and vista points. Architecturally, the style of the movement borrowed elements from Beaux-Arts and neoclassical architecture, emphasizing order, dignity, and harmony. The Sunken Garden, fountain and pool with water jets, decorative benches, walks, the drive paralleling the shoreline, and the pavilion all play a key role in forming this style. By 1930, the Morell & Nichols master plan for Lowell Park was, by and large, complete. By then, the Lift Bridge planning and site work was underway, which regraded the park and COLLABORATIVE Main Street prior to Lowell Park construction.

The roadway was also extended to Mulberry Point, where stood a bandstand, later relocated to a lot in the Staple May Addition (5, 7). The following is noted in "The Stillwater Cultural Landscape District: Stillwater, Minnesota" by the Minnesota Department of Transportation published in 2011. Closing of the St. Croix Boom Company in 1914 was a critical event in the city's economic history_ Riverfront mill and factory buildings were put to other uses, but the new businesses were often short-lived. Investment in diversified manufacturing such as agricultural implements, allowed the city to retain its workforce and position as a trade center. The city's population stood at 12,318 in 1900, but declined to 10,198 in 1910, 7,735 in 1920 and 7,013 in 1940. The Northwest Thresher, Twin City Forge and Foundry. Foote -Schultze, Smithson Paper Box, Stillwater Market Creamery, Minnesota Mercantile, and Stillwater Garment companies were among the city's important early twentieth-century employers on or near the riverfront_ The Stillwater Prison, located in Battle hollow since 1853, closed in 1914. During the next decades the riverfront area was slowly transformed by removal of industrial buildings, railroad tracks, and boathouses. The popular City Beautiful Movement. which emphasized urban planning built on a foundation of improved streets and neighborhood parks. was underway just as many people in Stillwater were beginning to understand the potential need for new uses for the riverfront, Evidence of the city's progressive planning included streetcar service inaugurated in 1889. opening of the Minneapolis and St. Paul Suburban Railway (which after 1899 offered half-hour service to St. Paul), and completion of the Carnegie Library in 1903.

Although the riverfront would continue to be dominated by industry for several more decades. the initial construction of Lowell Park (1911) represented the first step in reworking the city's gateway, creating a public use along the former levee. and accommodating new automobile traffic. William A. Finkienburg of Winona designed the first phase of Lowell Park. It extended two blocks south of Chestnut Street and featured a river wall with a lawn, plantings, and concrete benches. A north extension was completed in 1917 with plans by Minneapolis landscape architects Morel! & Nichols. A riverfront pavilion was completed in 1923. The firm also prepared the Plan ofStillwarer (1918). It was a blueprint for the modern city, proposing new ideas for parks. boulevards, housing, and riverfront land use. It called for a system of scenic drives linking views of the river valley, FINAL REPORT 9 Lowell Park Pavilion Historic Structures Report 03 February 2021 BUILDING HISTORY AND SIGNIFICANCE CDG Project #19078.00 History of Building and Use The Pavilion, designed by MorelI & Nichols, actually replaced an existing pavilion (ca. 1916) at that same location. No record is available about that pavilion, but is it assumed in the Lowell Park Renovation Plan from 1992 that "the pavilion, then though similar to the existing pavilion differed slightly in design". The 1923 pavilion was characterized by steps descending through the building's center, and the structure was unroofed with Lowell Park Pavilion, early photo horizontal trellises (5, 7). In 1931, the concrete seawall was rebuilt as a WPA project. It was initiated due to the Red Wing Dam downriver, whose construction had caused the river's water level to rise substantially. The Pavilion was rebuilt as part of the levee project. The Pavilion's trellises were replaced with a solid roof, the steps down to the water were moved to the outside of the structure's footprint, and a drinking fountain was added at the center of the pavilion. The Pavilion was largely left alone in the 1930s and 1940s until it was modernized in the mid-1950s. By 1957, the Pavilion had been enclosed and converted into a park restroom (5, 8). In the 1980s, both the park and the pavilion were showing their age and had generally deteriorated. At that time, the Pavilion was opened up and restored to its 1930s appearance (5, 11). The Lowell Park Renovation Plan of 1992 included design modifications for the Pavilion, including restoration of the grillwork in the foundation wall and a new door opening to accommodate racing shell boat storage in the lower level (89, 90).

Additionally, the lattice work and projecting, sculptured rafter tails form a distinct Arts and Crafts -type aesthetic. Its location in the midst of the seawall, with steps to the lower -level esplanade, is another important element of its aspect. It should be noted that the rafter tails tie the original open-air pavilion to the current look of the Pavilion. The rafter tails originally formed the ends of the trellis rafters that tied the sides of the Pavilion together structurally. At the time of the original construction there were no roofs. Then in the 1930s when the roofs were added, they were built over the top of the trellis rafters and the rafter tails remained exposed. They are a decorative element that adds aesthetic appeal to the building. Significance of Building In 1992, the historical significance of Stillwater was recognized when the "Stillwater Commercial Historic District" was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (Registration #92000288). The Register recognizes the District in two areas, Commerce and Architecture. The historic district has four "Periods of Significance", beginning in 1850 and ending in 1949, and the primary architectural styles are identified as Italianate, Queen Anne, Richardsonian, Classical Revival and early 20'h century commercial. The district contains 57 buildings, several of which have been individually listed); two contributing structures/sites (Lowell Park and the Sunken Garden); three contributing structures (including the Lowell Park Pavilion and the Lowell Park Levee); one contributing object (the fountain in the sunken garden) which is believed to be in storage with the City of Stillwater; and fourteen noncontributing buildings (6, 7). _.

It is tied to the long history of logging in the state as well as the people who took Stillwater from small outcropping to booming logging town and then into the twenty-first century. Given its history, connection to the development of Stillwater and its present condition, this project will be a rehabilitation of the structure, following the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation of Historic Properties. This approach will allow the retention of features, such as the roofs, that were not part of the original 1923 design, but having been on the Pavilion since the 1930s have gained their own historic prominence. Roof There are two roofing types on the pavilion, two flanking lower flat roofs with membrane with pea -gravel ballast and the center pyramid hip roof with a wooden shake (photos 1 and 2). The roofing at the flanking roofs (photo 86) is in fair condition. There are areas of poor to inadequate condition at/near the scuppers (photo 87). Patching at the flat roofs is not recommended. The membrane and ballast at the flat roofs should be replaced in -kind. The main pyramid hip roof is in inadequate condition. Here the non -original wood shakes are no longer structurally stable. This roof is a fire hazard, as an example in 2020 the Fourth of July fireworks set the very dry and brittle roof on fire (Photo 84). Although a section of shakes is now missing, the fire did not reach the rafters below. With missing shingles, deteriorated shakes and loose shakes there may be damage to the sheathing and the roof structure below (photo 85). The shakes and roof felt should be removed so that a full examination of the sheathing and roof structure can occur. If the sheathing is failing it should be removed and replaced. New roofing felt/membrane should be installed. For fire safety, it may be desirable to use synthetic shakes that match the historic look of the pavilion. MNHS should review roofing materials prior to construction. Due to the configuration of the roofs, it would be advantageous to complete the work at both the shingled and flat roofs at the same time. Pavilion Wooden Structure, with Metal Lattice The pavilion is comprised wood soffits, fascia, ceiling and columns accent by metal lattice and railing work. The wood is in fair to good condition with a few exceptions as noted below. At the roofs fascia the wood is in good condition with small areas of deterioration (photos 59, 61 and 62). _. COLLABORATIVE FINAL REPORT 60 Lowell Park Pavilion Historic Structures Report 03 February 2021 DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS OF BUILDING CONDITIONS CDG Project #19078.00 The soffit is made up of individual panels laid between the decorative rafter tails. Near the scuppers there are three or four soffit panels that have suffered water damage (photo 62), presumably from the roof leaking into the soffit. It is presumed that these few panels will need to be replaced in -kind. At these same locations, the rafter tails have similar indication of water damage. It is presumed that a few of the rafter tails will need to replaced in -kind. The remaining soffit and rafter tails can be repaired with consolidant and other restoration methods. The ceilings are covered with tongue and groove beadboard. They are in good condition with little or no deterioration (photo 34). In order to prevent pest infestation, the small quarter size holes should be filled with consolidant and then painted. There are two column sizes supporting the roofs, 1 1 " square columns support the lower flanking roofs and larger 15" square columns support the center roof. Ceiling height at the flanking spaces is approximately 9'-8" and 12'-8" at the center space. Columns are often under water during the spring rise in the St. Croix River water level. Even with this, the columns are in fair to good condition. Areas of deterioration, located mostly at the base of the columns, should have the structurally unstable material removed and then filled with consolidant. The face of the columns has become rough from scraping and repainting (photos 28, 29, 39 and 46) without fully sanding the surface to a smooth finish. This condition allows for dirt to accumulate on the surface. Although this is mostly an aesthetic issue, if allowed to continue the accumulation of dirt may lead to additional deterioration. When repainting the columns should be scraped, then sanded to a smooth finish before repainting to prevent any further deterioration from dirt and pollution. The metal lattice work and metal railings are in good condition with a few areas of rust beginning to come through the paint (photos 25 and 32). Currently these areas are small and limited. The areas of rust should be sanded down to bare metal and then painted. This should help arrest the continuing growth of the rust. Electrical Currently the electrical panel and wiring are substandard. The panel is not vandal resistant and appears to be rated for interior use (photos 45 and 45). The wiring is of the same vintage as the panel. Due to the age and condition of both the wiring and the panel, this system should be fully replaced. Outlets are no longer used; wiring appears to have been pulled back to the panel (photo 31) and the j-boxes have blank -off covers. Additionally, seasonal lighting is strung at the eaves of the structure (photo 47). This type of lighting is not vandal resistant. Wiring and panel should be upgraded for both fire safety and owner liability. Current lighting fixtures (photos 3 and 4) should be replaced with recessed fixtures that are vandal resistant and that light the interior of the pavilion for safety and security. Lighting on the exterior of the pavilion, for both security and to help tie the pavilion to the city proper and all its seasonal _. COLLABORATIVE FINAL REPORT 61 Lowell Park Pavilion Historic Structures Report 03 February 2021 DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS OF BUILDING CONDITIONS CDG Project #19078.00 activities should be added. This will include running concealed conduit and LED strip lighting at the fascia. Pavilion Foundation, Seawall and Walk The top surface of concrete floor slab of the pavilion is generally in fair condition, but same areas that have cracked are in poor condition. Refer to photos 55 and 56 for examples of cracking within the slab and photo 58 for signs of spalling. Cracking is a regular occurrence with concrete, and this concrete slab appears to be in relatively good condition considering its age. However, cracks such as these should be addressed regularly to maintain the longevity of the structure. Cracks are susceptible to the freeze/thaw cycle in that a crack widens when water freezes and can stay widened once the water thaws and the slab dries. Without regular mitigation, cracks can widen each seasonal cycle to eventually cause other damage, such as spalling of concrete or rusting of the steel reinforcement. Visible cracks on the top surface of the concrete slab should be sealed and the spalled areas of the concrete should be repaired. The underside of the concrete floor slab shows signs of furthered deterioration and is in poor condition. In areas that coincide with cracks on the top surface of the concrete, both rusted steel reinforcement and spalled concrete is visible. Please reference photos 81 through 83 for deterioration on the underside of the slab. As with the cracking on the top of the slab, widened cracks can cause further air and water infiltration, leading to rusting of the embedded steel reinforcement. As the rusted steel expands, pressures on the surface of the concrete increase until spalling occurs. Reference photo 81 shows that one of the deteriorated areas was previously repaired, however further rusting and spalling continues to occur beyond the edges of the repair. This indicates the deterioration of the concrete floor slab is currently ongoing and further repair/mitigation is necessary. The foundation wall supporting both the concrete floor slab and the wooden pavilion shade structure above shows severe signs of deterioration and is in an inadequate condition. A horizontal crack is visible approximately 4'-6" above the lower -level slab and occurs on both the East side (reference photos 69 through 74) and the West side (reference photos 75 through 79) foundation walls. The horizontal crack in the West foundation wall is in a very severe state of deterioration, which includes spalling and movement of the wall towards the interior of the lower -level space. Over time, foundation walls are susceptible cracking as the soil on the exterior side of the wall pushes against the wall initially causing minute horizontal cracking on the interior surface. The freeze/thaw cycle can promote further deterioration, not only by widening the crack as described above, but also by causing the freezing soil on the exterior side to expand and pushing the wall inward. A plumb bob was used to determine that the west foundation wall leans into the lower level by 3/4" to 1-1/2". Generally, thawing of the soil each season does not lessen this deflection, leading to additional movement each year. Note that no steel reinforcement is visible embedded within the concrete wall at the severely cracked locations, which may have led to the initial cracking and propagation experienced by this COLLABORATIVE FINAL REPORT 62 Lowell Park Pavilion Historic Structures Report 03 February 2021 DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS OF BUILDING CONDITIONS CDG Project #19078.00 foundation wall. Also note that the horizontal cracking has extended to the North and South foundation walls, which also both show similar signs of damage. Immediate temporary stabilization of the foundation wall, followed by a scheme to permanently support the pavilion above, is necessary. On the East side of the foundation wall, the horizontal crack has also propagated fully through the concrete walls supporting the wooden pavilion and floor slab. In this case however, the wall above the crack is aligned with the wall below the crack, so it appears no detrimental movement of either element has occurred. This crack is susceptible to the freeze/thaw cycle and a permanent repair of the crack is necessary to prevent further deterioration. f COLLABORATIVE ❑esignGroup, ..

Many of the elements of the park have been lost over time, which is all the more reason to protect and preserve this structure. Preservation and restoration of the Park elements along with the addition of modern amenities has been an on -going goal of the City of Stillwater. Several studies have been done that both tied Lowell Park to the downtown and talked at length about the revitalization of the whole park. There are three studies of note; "The Renovation of Lowell Park" Sanders Wacker Wehrman Bergly Inc., 1992, "City of Stillwater North Main Street / Lowell Park Plan Update" Short Elliot Hendrickson Inc., 2004 and "North Lowell Park Master Plan" Sanders Wacker Wehrman Bergly Inc., 2012. The reports have several themes in common; restore missing historic elements, add new elements that provide modern amenities and finally tie the length of the park together and to the historic downtown. Historic assessments, like this one, are not intended to be used for planning purposes that are not directly related to the preservation or restoration of a structure. Doing so would be stepping outside MNHS standards and outside MNHS's funding parameters. This section is included for reference only, as a way to allow for integration of the Pavilion restoration into the overall Park revitalization. In the 1992 study, there was discussion of how the involve the community in park restorations by developing a strong volunteer program. Items listed below, in conjunction with layouts developed by a Landscape Architect, are areas where fund raising, and community volunteers could make the revitalization a reality. Pavers and Walkways The studies mentioned above layout varying designs for pavers and sidewalks that tie park elements together. Given the flooding that occurs along the St. Croix River every spring, it would not be recommended to make changes to the river walk or to Sam Bloomer Way. The river walk is historic and in good condition. Work in this area could compromise the Pavilion foundation and the seawall. COLLABORATIVE Design(;rottp,,,,,.

Placement of the signage should be located at such a distance that the downtown Pavilion elevation could be fully seen. This signage could also, delineate building elements that are part of design and construction of the 1900s. Path Lighting Over the years the Pavilion has come to be a representation of the seasonal activities in Stillwater. As part of this assessment, lighting in and on the Pavilion was evaluated. The path/directional lighting to the pavilion was not addressed as part of the assessment.

FINAL REPORT 75 Lowell Park Pavilion Historic Structures Report 03 February 2021 PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE (NOT IN SCOPE) CDG Project #19078.00 PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE (NOT IN SCOPE) Planning - Connecting the Pavilion to the Park Although not part of the building assessment, it is important to remember that the Pavilion is but one element in the Lowell Park. Many of the elements of the park have been lost over time, which is all the more reason to protect and preserve this structure. Preservation and restoration of the Park elements along with the addition of modern amenities has been an on -going goal of the City of Stillwater. Several studies have been done that both tied Lowell Park to the downtown and talked at length about the revitalization of the whole park. There are three studies of note; "The Renovation of Lowell Park" Sanders Wacker Wehrman Bergly Inc., 1992, "City of Stillwater North Main Street / Lowell Park Plan Update" Short Elliot Hendrickson Inc., 2004 and "North Lowell Park Master Plan" Sanders Wacker Wehrman Bergly Inc., 2012. The reports have several themes in common; restore missing historic elements, add new elements that provide modern amenities and finally tie the length of the park together and to the historic downtown. Historic assessments, like this one, are not intended to be used for planning purposes that are not directly related to the preservation or restoration of a structure. Doing so would be stepping outside MNHS standards and outside MNHS's funding parameters. This section is included for reference only, as a way to allow for integration of the Pavilion restoration into the overall Park revitalization. In the 1992 study, there was discussion of how the involve the community in park restorations by developing a strong volunteer program. Items listed below, in conjunction with layouts developed by a Landscape Architect, are areas where fund raising, and community volunteers could make the revitalization a reality. Pavers and Walkways The studies mentioned above layout varying designs for pavers and sidewalks that tie park elements together. Given the flooding that occurs along the St. Croix River every spring, it would not be recommended to make changes to the river walk or to Sam Bloomer Way. The river walk is historic and in good condition. Work in this area could compromise the Pavilion foundation and the seawall.

This is a simple mock-up of the type of signage that could be used to help visitors navigate the full length of Lowell Park. It could show both existing elements and locations of elements that are long gone. Signage such as this could be place in several locations down the length of the park. rem nm inw, lmmGIHwPw.r LOWELL PARK F • ry K.. The historic signage could tell the history of the Pavilion, show historic images of the Pavilion from its inception to the present. Placement of the signage should be located at such a distance that the downtown Pavilion elevation could be fully seen. This signage could also, delineate building elements that are part of design and construction of the 1900s. Path Lighting Over the years the Pavilion has come to be a representation of the seasonal activities in Stillwater. As part of this assessment, lighting in and on the Pavilion was evaluated. The path/directional lighting to the pavilion was not addressed as part of the assessment. Future work such as pathways leading to the pavilion will need to address path/directional lighting leading to the pavilion from historic downtown Stillwater. This type of lighting along new pathways will make the Pavilion a destination for all seasons. Pathway lighting will also create a safer environment.

This was required of the City as part of the agreement for the purchase of the land. Great River Greening (GRG), a nonprofit organization who inspires, engages and leads local communities in conserving and caring for the land and water, has expressed interest in assisting the City in vegetation management for the first six years. The City has worked with GRG in the past and they come highly recommended by the City's Natural Resources Technician Taylor Stockert and local government and nonprofit partners. A primary reason for their reputation is GRG's business model. Working in partnership with a large variety of conservation partners throughout Minnesota, GRG's not only provides ecological expertise and project/volunteer management for their restoration efforts, they also provide funding assistance. PROPOSAL DETAILS GRG will conduct all Year 1 action items which includes inventorying all management unit flora and groundwater seeps, assessing riverbank stability, and preparing species removal and site restoration plans. In addition to conducting the Year 1 work, GRG will (on behalf of the City) apply for a Minnesota Legacy Outdoor Heritage Fund (OHF) grant to implement the Year 1 plans in Years 2-6. If awarded, GRG would require a local cash match to conduct project management and grant reporting for the City. GRG's proposal costs (noted below) are consistent with the Vegetation Management plan. Year 1 Years 2-6 Total Cost Percentage City of Stillwater Cost $13,500 $19,000 ($3,800/year) $32,500 26.7% Great River Greening Cost $88,900 $88,900 73.2% Total $121,400 GRG's proposal outlines the Plan's 5-year action items eligible through the OHF's program. Funding project that focus on habitat development, general landscaping as well as restoration efforts that may be disturbed in the future due to other site construction activities (i.e. turf conversion) are not eligible project expenses. Though the Other Funding category addresses items the Plan recommends conducting in Years 1-5, most of these actions (with the exception of wetland delineation) must wait until after parkland development and construction occurs. GRG has indicated that, if there are areas where future disturbance will not occur in the future, there may be opportunities to revisit the scope of work and include additional restoration efforts in Years 2-6. GRG's proposal is consistent with the estimated costs outlined in the Plan. While GRG is proposing the City enter into contract for Year 1 services in exchange for the preparation and submittal of the OHF grant application for the City, there is no guarantee for Year 2-6 funding. That said, GRG and its partners have a long-standing history of grant funding through the OHF program. Additionally, whether Year 2-6 funding is in place or not, Year 1 efforts must be conducted regardless of future funding. COUNCIL DIRECTION The City has funding in the Capital Outlay to cover the $13,500 expenses to be incurred in 2021. At the May 4, 2021 City Council meeting, the Council directed staff to enter into contract for services with GRG. Attached: GRG Proposal Vegetation Management Plan Phasing & Cost Estimate Page 2 of 2 VEGETATION MANAGEMENT PHASING & COST ESTIMATE Total management costs were based on 10-year management plans. Total 10 years costs for all vegetation management are $165,516. Cost estimation is based on: a) 2020 dollars, b) subcontracting all implementation and necessary oversight, and c) assumption that all Management Units are implemented concurrently. Management units have varying amounts of invasive species cover and therefore varying management inputs/ costs, but for simplicity costs are averaged across Units.

PARK MASTER PLAN i11water THE RiFITHPLACE OF MINNESOIA Memo To: Parks and Recreation Commission From: Jason Grode, Parks Superintendent Meeting Date: May 24, 2021 Re: Zephyr Theatre's Broadway by the Bridge: Mamma Mia! Event BACKGROUND: The Zephyr Theatre has recently completed an event application to produce a professional Broadway -style musical of "Mamma Mia!" in Lowell Park. This event will use professional musicians and actors. Performances will take place Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, July 22-25, 2021, at 7:00pm and ending before 10:00pm. In an effort to work with Summer Tuesdays and the Cruisin' on the Croix Car Show, setup would occur on Monday, July 19th, only in locations that do not interfere with these events. Dress rehearsals will take place 10am-5pm on Tuesday, July 20th; 10am-3:00pm and 8:00pm - 10:00pm on Wednesday, July 215t; and 10am-3:00 pm on Thursday, July 22nd They expect to market this as a regional event and will have seating for up to 1,000 people at each performance. While the event area will be delineated by lightweight fence (open during the day), it will not deter anyone from watching the show outside of the event space or create any site barrier to the beauty of the park. The stage will be covered and the event will occur rain or shine unless there is severe weather - in this case, the cancelled performance will be rescheduled for Monday, July 26th at 7:00pm. ACTION REQUIRED: Attached is the event application and site plan. The next step is for the Parks and Recreation Commission to approve the request for use of Lowell Park from Monday, July 19th through Monday July 26th (or Tuesday July 27th, if there's a weather cancellation) and recommend that the City Council approves it.

People can purchase a Memorial Bench with a plaque and the city will install at a location in a city park or along a trail (see attached form). With the availability of the current benches and the ever increasing time line to receive a completed bench, staff has researched alternative manufacturers. The Pilot Rock -Oak Knoll Bench (see attached) most closely resembles the current bench design and offers the best turnaround time after ordering of about 30 days. Both benches are about the same price with the Pilot Rock Bench being about 6" longer. Sti liwater.
