Existing city crews will plow the new areas of the annexation area. However, because the recreation center is used as a park and ride lot, it has a high priority for snow removal. Because it will be very difficult for City crews to plow this parking lot in a timely fashion, he recommended consideration of using contractual services at an approximate cost of $1 0,000 to plow the lot for the 1998-99 season. Staff will be soliciting quotes and developing a contract for presentation at the December 151 meeting. City Coordinator Kriesel introduced Chantell Kadin, Administrative Assistant, to Council. Her first day of employment with the City was November 9tb. Her appointment as Y2K Coordinator is on the consent agenda.

The request is for police assistance during the Twinkle Parade from 7-8 p.m. on Dec. II tb and public works/parks assistance with the downtown skating rink. Staff will be providing the assistance. Mr. Kriesel also reported the Parks Board had reviewed a request to change the fee structure for open walk at the recreation center by reducing the rate for seniors. They recommended the fee for seniors be reduced and be the same as the youth rate listed on the previous fee schedule. Doug Brady, manager of the recreation center, asked if the reduced fee should also include open skating. Motion by Councilmember Thole, seconded by Councilmember Cummings to amend the fee schedule for open walking and skating by establishing a youth/senior rate.

Notice of the hearing was published in the Stillwater Gazette on October 30, 1998, and notices mailed to affected property owners. Community Development Director Russell explained the subdivision of the remaining Maple Island plant site into three lots would result in partitioning of the existing building into three potentially different ownerships.

Notice of the hearing was published in the Stillwater Gazette on October 30, 1998, and notices mailed to affected property owners.

The Planning Commission recommended approval with the following conditions: landscaping shall be installed per applicant; and 2) DNR certification shall be received before building permits are issued. r The Mayor opened the public hearing. Jon and Deanne Stratte exlained their request to expand in order to build a main floor laundry was for medical reasons, not recreational. Motion by Councilmember Thole, seconded by Councilmember Bealka to approve a variance to a bluff setback (40 ft. required, 23' 4" requested) for the construction of an addition to a garage at 114 Lakeside Drive, in the RB, Two Family Residential and Blufl1and Shoreland District, as conditioned.

This is the day and time for the public to consider an appeal from the Planning Commission for a request from Margaret Mitchell, D.C., for a Special Use Permit request for a chiropractic practice-healing practice out a residence at 1055 West St. Croix Avenue in the RA, Single Family Residential District. Notice of the hearing was published in the Stillwater Gazette on October 30, 1998, and notices mailed to affected property owners. r Community Development Director Russell reported the Planning Commission approved the home occupation permit request at their meeting October 12,1998. The request was different from the previous application. The Council had previously authorized a temporary permit, with no option for renewal. The previous request included one employee and temporary use. This request has no outside employees and the use is permanent. Since the previous application, the home occupation use permit regulations have been revised. This request would be TYPE II Home Occupation which requires a Special Use Permit. A letter of appeal was submitted by five residents in the area. The Mayor opened the public hearing. 6 City Council Meeting 98-27 November 10,1998 Gayle Parizino, 148 Myrtlewood Court, felt it a travesty to be doing this to Ms. Mitchel1. She moved away from a filthy neighbor and would have loved a quiet neat neighbor. r Dennis Nelson, 1201 Amundson Drive, felt it set a precedent by renewing a permit that was "non- renewable". Rick Kuula, 1241 Amundson Circle, stated his property abuts the driveway. The drives are unique and a difficult access and small area for turning. Ann Cwnmings, 1060 Amundson Drive, stated Ms. Mitchell's supporters were patients whose views may not be the same as neighbors. She stated it is not a personal situation; the problem is a business in a rental property. Chris Torma, 1814 W. Pine, stated she is a patient and Ms. Mitchell is a value to the community. The practice follows Type II permit requirements. Kristen Hands, 1135 Amundson Drive, expressed opposition to the permit. Bonnie Roemhildt 1001 E. St. Croix Ave., stated a foster home previously in the area created more traffic. Also, an attorney operates out of a nearby home on Amundson. Meg Carlson, a friend of Dr. Mitchell, stated her children play in the yard when she visits. She was offended that neighbors assume children in the yard are those of clients. r Mark Odegard, a patient, doesn't understand the problem when it is acceptable to have hundreds of people passing by on the golf course just 200 yards away. Margaret Mitchell, applicant, in response to neighborhood concerns that the business was in a rental property, stated she has attempted to purchase the house, but the landlord would not sell. Her use fits under the ordinance passed by the City. Why should others be granted a permit and hers denied? Paula Nelson, 1201 Amundson, stated commercial use should not be in a neighborhood. The Mayor closed the public hearing. Councilmember Thole stated the approval was not barred by the previous decision because this is a different application, there are no employees, and the ordinance has been revised. Council determined the specific standards of the ordinance are met. There is a presumption of validity and it is the obligation of the city to approve the permit. If complaints are received, a public hearing must be scheduled. Cwnmings suggested amending the ordinance to approve permits only for resident owners. The City Attorney explained the equal protection clause would prohibit that based on being discrimination against renters. r Council determined the approval would be subject to the Planning Commission conditions of approval: 1) no exterior signage, 2) all parking on-site with maximum two non-resident cars at one 7 City Council Meeting 98-27 November 10, 1998 time, 3) SUP shall be reviewed by Commission upon complaint; 4) SUP is issued to Margaret Mitchell and non-transferable, and 5) no employees other than applicant.

Receiving City Hall area parking study Community Development Director Russell reported the parking study approved by Council in July of 1998 has been completed. Meetings were held with area property owners and organizations on September 2nd and October 1 st. He recommended Council implement the recommendations as resources are available. Glenn Van Wormer, SEH, presented the report and presented an overview of the study data, analysis, and recommendations for improvement. He recommended improvement of the City Hall lot which would allow greater utilization for non-City Hall business, thus alleviating street parking issues.
