PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Project Narrative from Kirk Velett, found as Exhibit 1. descrthes the project. The
narrative Is as follows:
The Boutwells Landing Village Green will serve as a visual icon and as an attractive,
functional space to be used in a variety of ways that complement the wenn, small-town,
values-based symbolism it represents.
A Historic Symbol of Goodness and Values
Boutwells Landing has been butt with a design that intenionaily honors the historical
significance of the area. Photos, design elements, and various displays throughout the
campus help tel the story of the birthplace of Minnesota and the decades that followed.
A natural extension of the historical theme of Boutwets Landing was the history of smell
towns in the Midwest where so many Boutwets residents were raised. Just the sight of
a town square -comprised of a one-room schoolhouse, a gazebo, and a smell church -
could evoke in the minds of residents and guests a wwm remembrance of their
childhood and the values with which they were raised: honesty, integrity, doing one's
best goodness, kindness, and the golden rule. This gave rise to the Village Green
concept of Boutwells Landing that blended the tow square concept with local historical
landmarks: the one-room McKean Schoolhouse (butt in 1860) and the First
Presbyterian Church of SRwoter(bud in 1857).
One-MOM Schoolhouse
The Mclean School was restored in large pert by Boutwells Landing residents who
volunteered to repair, restore, and furnish the school to the way it looked in the early
1900's. Shortly after its re-dedication in 2008 the schoolhouse was used for a unique,
lively, week-long summer camp for 6-12 year-olds who wanted to experience what it
was Nice attending a one morn schoolhouse. Open house tours, field trips for local
schools, and experiential teaming collaborations with local schools are at activities that
are expected to develop and grow once tearooms become available m the neighboring
historic church.
Historic Flit Presbyterian Church
Lacking a local historic church to move to Boutwells Landing, the deal solution for the
Village Green was to use pictures of the historic First Presbyterian Church of Stillwater
to create an architectural replica. Reverend William Boutwei►, after whom Boutwells
Landing is named, was instrumental in starting and leading the congregation In Its early
days. ft was a natural choice for a replica addition to the Village Green. The interior
design will be open and flexible. Staddng chairs and folding tables will be used to
accommodate various types of meetings and events, creating a multi-functional space.
Resident meetings and various Boutwells presentations and events will be the most
prevalent use of the church's indoor space. As with other spaces at Boutwells, people
or groups from the community at-large will be welcome to use the space for a modest
fee. The church is expected to be used by residents for religious purposes, though not
as a congregation ora place used exclusively for worship. Semi-regular use is expected
by residents for prayer groups, bible study, and spiritual His activities. An occasional
2
Page 91 of 272
wedding of a couple who are residents or a resident's family member is possible.
likewise, a memorial service for a resident may take place, though most of them we
expected to be held in the existing chapel.
Gazebo
The thin structure for the Village Green wit complete the town square appearance.
While acting as a visual anchor to create the town square image, an occasional
performance by a small ensemble may wow. Another use may be as a stage for a
speaker at an occasional outdoor event held at Boutwells Landing. An employee picnic,
a Boutwells neighborhood social, or a presentation to residents we examples of events
where a speaker may step up to the gazebo to be seen or heard
ISSUES ANALYSIS
Comprehensive Plan. The property is designated as High Density on the Proposed
Land Use Map of the Comprehensive Plan. The historic Village Green, as planned. is
part of the overall Boutwells Landing development and consistent with the land use
Pte.
Zoning. The site is zoned PUD, Residential PUD District In which the historic Village
Green is a permitted use with PUD approvals. In that the principal use Is a mixture of
residential and business use, the underlying zoning has been designated as R-B
Residential Business Transitional District. The overall historic Village Green has
received Concept Plan approval, and the School has received General Plan approval.
The current application is for General Plan approval for the church, gazebo, parking lot
expansion and final landscaping.
Setbacks. The Zoning Ordinance under the R B District requires 30 foot front and rear
yards and 10 foot side yard setbacks. The school, chapel and gazebo are all setback at
least 30 feet from the Norwich Parkway right-of-way and the chapel will be 10 feet from
the east property line.
Parking. The Boutwells Landing Campus has been constructed with 483 parking stalls,
which includes the parking lot north of 58th Street. The campus requires 377 parking
The school building would accommodate 30 persons. and the chapel 49 persons. At
three persons per parking stall. the school would require 10 parking spaces and 18
spaces for the chapel. The parking lot to the east of the historic Village Green will be
expanded by 12 parking spaces. The Boutwells Landing Campus has adequate stalls
to meet the parking requirements. With the significant on-sheet parking adjacent to the
site and the parking lot to the east that will have 28 spaces(after the addition of the 12),
there is adequate parking close to the historic Village Green. The parking lot is
connected to the historic Village Green by the sidewalk on the south side of Norwich
Parkway.
3
Page 92 of 272
Restrooms. In order to accommodate the restroom requirements for the two buildings,
the chapel will be constructed with male and female disability facilities. The design of
the building allows for a separate entrance to the restrooms, even If the chapel Is not
being used.
Curb Cuts/Disability Parking. The plans indicate a drop off curb realignment In front
of the historic Village Green. The drop off win be subject to review of the City Engineer.
To facilitate access, City Staff suggests that one disability space be signed on Norwich
Parkway adjacent to the drop off area.
Landscaping. The landscape plans indicate the trees that will be removed to
accommodate the chapel structure and gazebo. Additional landscaping will be added to
the site. The submitted landscape plan Is subject to City Arborist review and approval.
Lighting. The Project Architect has indicated that there are no exterior lights, poles or
bollards proposed as part of the application. If any new fixtures are to be added, they
shall comply with the Zoning Ordinance requirements.
Mechanical Screening. If any mechanical equipment is ground or roof mounted it
shall be consistent with Section 401.15.E.10.e. of the Zoning Ordinance as it relates to
screening.
Grading, Drainage, Erosion Control and Utilities. Grading, drainage, erosion
control, and utility plans are subject to review and approval by the City Engineer.
Signage. No signage has been proposed. If any additional signage Is proposed, it
shall comply with Section 401.15.G.
Design Guidelines. The buildings are subject to Design Guideline review. The chapel
building will be wood construction with Hardi-Plank lap siding with an asphalt shingle.
The gazebo will be also constructed of wood. Both structures will be white to match the
existing school. The Planning Commission and City Council will need to discuss this
deviation from the Design Guidelines which specify that sbuctures are not to be clad
totally in lap siding. Due to the historical character of the structures, and the fact they
were originally constructed with lap siding, a deviation seems justified. A material
sample board will be provided for review at the Planning Commission meeting
CONCLUSION/RECOMMENDATION
Upon review of the application for a Planned Unit Development, General Plan approval
for improvements to the Boutwells Landing Village Green at 5600 Norwich Parkway,
City Staff would recommend the project with the conditions as follows:
1. The drop off curb realignment in front of the historic village green will be
subject to review of the City Engineer.
4

BOUTWELLS LANDING VILLAGE GREEN
Description and Uses EXHIBIT 1
The Boutwells Landing Village Green will serve as a visual icon and as an attractive,functional
space to be used in a variety of ways that complement the warm,small-town,values-based
symbolism it represents.
A Historic Symbol of Goodness and Values
Boutwells Landing has been built with a design that intentionally honors the historical
significance of the area. Photos,design elements,and various displays throughout the campus
help tell the story of the birthplace of Minnesota and the decades that followed.
A natural extension of the historical theme of Boutwells Landing was the history of small towns
in the Midwest where so many Boutwells residents were raised. Just the sight of a town square-
comprised of a one-room schoolhouse,a gazebo,and a small church- could evoke in the minds

gave rise to the Village Green concept of Boutwells Landing that blended the town square
concept with local historical landmarks:the one-room McKean Schoolhouse(built in 1860)and
the First Presbyterian Church of Stillwater(built in 1857).
One-room Schoolhouse
The McKean School was restored in large part by Boutwells Landing residents who volunteered
to repair,restore,and furnish the school to the way it looked in the early 1900's. Shortly after its
re-dedication in 2008 the schoolhouse was used for a unique,lively,week-long summer camp for
6-12 year-olds who wanted to experience what it was like attending a one-room schoolhouse.
Open house tours,field trips for local schools,and experiential learning collaborations with local
schools are all activities that are expected to develop and grow once restrooms become available
in the neighboring historic church.
Historic First Presbyterian Church
Lacking a local historic church to move to Boutwells Landing,the ideal solution for the Village
Green was to use pictures of the historic First Presbyterian Church of Stillwater to create an
architectural replica.Reverend William Boutwell,after whom Boutwells Landing is named,was
instrumental in starting and leading the congregation in its early days. It was a natural choice for

for prayer groups,bible study,and spiritual life activities. An occasional wedding of a couple
who are residents,or a resident's family member is possible. Likewise,a memorial service for a
resident may take place,though most of them are expected to be held in the existing chapel.
Gazebo
The third structure for the Village Green will complete the town square appearance.While acting
as a visual anchor to create the town square image,an occasional performance by a small
ensemble may occur. Another use may be as a stage for a speaker at an occasional outdoor event
held at Boutwells Landing. An employee picnic,a Boutwells neighborhood social,or a
presentation to residents are examples of events where a speaker may step up to the gazebo to be
seen or heard.
