1. Workshop - Discussion of Pavement Management Study.
Council held a workshop and discussion of pavement management presented by
Consulting Engineer Moore. He stated this is a management tool for the
City for repair and reconstruction of streets in a consistent manner. A
slide program was presented explaining more fully the need for a pavement
manager program and it was further stated that the Federal government has
mandated that each state develop a Pavement Management system, with the
states mandating the counties to have such a system. In the near future
it may also be mandated for the cities. A program such as this could save
money for the City.
Mr. Moore stated a program was developed for Stillwater in 1990, but has
not been completed as to the life cycle length. It was noted that
Stillwater has 76 miles of streets and 741 were in routine maintenance.
Discussion followed with Council and Staff. No action was taken at this
time.
2.
Replacement of Entrance Si~ns to City
Discussion followed regard ng the replacement of these signs by funds
donated from the Downtown Council, in the amount of $500.00, and the
Rotary Club. It was noted that the City may be asked to donate a few
hundred dollars if the cost of the signs override the donated funds.
Councilmember Bodlovick again suggested that the Business and Professional
Women be contacted since they originally donated the sign to the City.

1. This is the day and time for the Public Hearing to consider the making of

Notice of the hearing was published in The Gazette on May 10 & May 14,
1993 and mailed to affected property owners.
Mr. Moore explained the construction of the proposed sidewalks, stating it
was separated into two areas -- the Junior H.S. area and Pine St. area.
The Pine St. area has been dropped until next year when the street may
also be reconstructed, including sidewalks, with the possible use of MSA
funds. He stated the project was requested by residents for the safety of
their children and made recommendations which were incorporated into the
report. He then explained in further detail the construction of sidewalk
on W. Hancock St., So. Sixth St. W. Marsh St. and So. Holcombe St. The
cost of the project is estimated at $42,800.

Stillwater City Council Minutes
May 18, 1993
Regular Meeting
Michael Gearhart, 1001 So. Holcombe, stated that a number of the residents
on his street are retirees with just a few people able to taKe care of the
proposed sidewalk and only a few people will benefit from the project.
Also the sidewalks will be close to the houses.
Jo Ann Larson, 917 So. Holcombe St., stated her house is close to the
street and she does not want a sidewalk there.
Harold Hiles, 1303 So. Sixth St., stated he has a fence and sidewalk on
all except four ft. of his property. Also, the assessment roll lists his
name as "Hills" -- it should be "Hiles".
r
Del Peterson, 1303 So. Fourth St., said it does not appear the residents
want the sidewalk, but tf the safety of the students is the issue, the
school district should be assessed. He noted that the City was willing to
pay for the sidewalk by the Oak Park Elementary School. This sidewalk is
not for the benefit of the residents.
Steve Uban, So. Fourth & Hancock Streets, stated there is not a lot of
traffic on Hancock St. and there will be less when the senior high school
is moved. This sidewalk is not necessary.
Lisa Buchette, 319 W. Hancock St., stated she is concerned for a small
tree in her front yard. All children have been walking in the street and
now it is considered unsafe. She is opposed to the project.
A man living on the northwest corner of Fifth & Hancock Streets, stated
noboQy wants the sidewalKS and the streets are fine for walking. The only
threat of traffic has come from the high school students. There is no
need for sidewalKs.
Mike White, 1222 So. Fourth St., stated he disagrees with the need for
sidewalks.
A woman living at Sixth & Marsh Streets., stated she has a large banK and
a sidewalk would necessitate a retaining wall and would damage a tree.
Also, there is no way to keep them clean in the winter. The City should
keep the streets plowed so that bus traffic goes through.
Lorrie Klajda, 1405 So. Sixth St., stated she would like more
clarification. There is a hill behind her house where the students walk
down the middle of the road and she is concerned that students will be
hurt.
Ed Sievers, 1304 So. Fourth St., stated he has a six ft. sidewalk along
his property now and aSKed if the City would tear it up.

building located at 110 E. Pine St. (E. Jr. H.S. Bldg.) in the PA, Public
Admin. Office Dist., Case No. DR/93-27, CUB Foods, Applicant.
Notice of the hearing was published in The Gazette on May 13, 1993 and
mailed to affected property owners.
3. This is the day and time for the Public Hearing to consider a Design
Review Permit for a parking lot for 150-170 cars located at 100 W. Pine
St. in the PA, Public Admin. Dist., Case No. DR/93-28, City of Stillwater,
Applicant.
Notice of the hearing was published in The Gazette on May 13, 1993 and
mailed to affected property owners.
These two cases were considered together because they are related. Mr.
Russell stated they were reviewed by the Design Review Committee, Heritage
Preservation Commission and Planning Commission with 'a public hearing held
on the project to renovate the Junior High School building.
Tom Thueson, Director of Development for Cub Foods, stated this project
benefits Cub Foods and City and School District. He presented a
transparency regarding the refurbished office building, a new public
parking area, new property tax revenues, removal of liability for the
school district, Cub Foods scholarship fund, creation of the historic
Country Inn which will take over the present Cub Foods building, and will
create jobs and be a boost to the Downtown business district.
Jay Slater and Pete Smith, of BWBR Architects, presented plans for
renovation of the building. Glen Van Wormer, of SEH, explained the
parking lot. Mr. Russell also presented information on the design and
development of the parking lot., which included concerns from the

Stillwater City Council Minutes
May 18, 1993
Regular Meeting
Jim Rosamilia, Pine & Broadway, stated he is in favor of Cub taking over
the east wing of the Junior H.S. building, but has problems with the other
part of the project. His concerns were that the parking lot will not be
public, but will be used for Cub Foods, they will not have to pay for it
and should, people will not use the lot to go downtown, it will drain
funds from other projects, the west wing of the Junior H.S. has enormous
historic value and a parking lot would be a misuse of that property. He
would prefer that a ramp be built into the ravine because in five years
more parking will be needed. He would like to see the City negotiate
more.
r
Richard Kilty, 118 W. Oak St., questioned Mr. Thueson's statement
regarding $170,000 going on the tax rolls because the building will be in
a TIF District. None of these funds will go to the School District or
County; He questioned whether any of the neighborhood was included in the
planning of the parking lot. He asked whether Cub Foods could resell the
land after buying it from the School District. He also stated housing
should be put on the west 100 feet of the lot.
Mr. Russell responded to Mr. Kilty's comments, stating that neighborhood
residents were involved in the planning and explained the TIF process
whereby taxes will continue to go to the County, School District and City.
He explained that there is a condition of approval that the area north of
the east wing be kept natural and a final consideration is that HRA is
considering several locations for housing.
Marlene Workman DeBoef, representing the Historic Courthouse, stated she
was included in the parking lot design review and they were told to
consider a plan for demolition. She questioned whether this is the best
use and whether there might be a better use for the west wing of the
Junior H.S.
Barb Rosamilia, Pine & Broadway, stated the parking benefit is exaggerated
because not too many people will park on the bluff and go downtown and Cub
is getting an incredibly good deal. Some other concerns were truck
traffic and garbage.
Don Broman, speaking on behalf of his tenants in Stillwater, stated that
he manages proper~ in the Brick Alley and they are delighted that there
is parking on the hill and any additional parking spot in the City is
beneficial. Also, this development is a significant benefit to the City.
Neal Casey, speaking on behalf of SAEDC, stated we have a quality of life
that is unmatched and the biggest contributors are our local businesses.
We do not want to lose CUB Foods.

Regular Meeting
Todd Remington, 206 E. Locust St., stated CUB is a valuable asset and it
would be a shame to see them go. He also thinks UBC is a better place for
parking than in the neighborhood and asked if there is a reason why we
would tear down the building instead of considering something else first.
Mark Balay, 416 So. Fifth St., stated CUB should move into the east wing.
He asked about the cost of demolition of the west wing and construction of
the proposed parking lot and if the City is committed to spending that
money tonight. Mr. Russell stated this would be answered in the TIF
portion of the plan after the design is approved. Mr. Balay stated.
concerns regarding any changes to the plan after it is approved -- such as
deleting certain amenities.
Councilmember Funke closed the public hearing.
Discussion by Council followed. It was noted that many hours of study by
various groups were made on the reuse of the Junior H.S. and that the
building does not qualify for the historical register or grant money. It
would be very expensive to restore it. Also discussed was the
consideration of residential development on the west 100 ft. of the
property which could become Condition No.6.
r
Motion by Councilmember Cummings, seconded by Councilmember Kimble
