This is the day and time for the Public Hearing to consider the making of sidewalk construction improvements in the Junior H.S. Area, L.I. 294. 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. Jeanette Nelson, 822 So. Second St., who owns a duplex at 1325-27 So. 6th St., presented a petition asking that the improvement be assessed to all taxpayers of the school district. 3 r 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. r 4 r r r Stillwater City Council Minutes May 18, 1993 Regular Meeting Council Vice President Funke closed the public hearing.

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 neighborhood. Rob Williams presented plans for construction of the parking lot which would have a garden-like atmosphere. 5 r 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. r 6 n Stillwater City Council Minutes May 18, 1993 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 directing Staff to draft a resolution approving a Design Review Permit for the renovation of an existing school into an office building located at 110 E.
