As discussed, we are at risk of flooding within the current storm water designs of both Stillwater and Oak Park. Unfortunately, it will require months or years for a watershed district to form and address the problems. In the interim, Oak Park will likely initiate commercial construction that will only increase the cost of remedial actions that may be required by the watershed district. Please implement modifications to your storm water system now, to help reduce our risk. Stillwater is undertaking such changes, but all jurisdictions in the watershed must cooperate to reduce our risk. Thank you for considering our request.

It was a spectacular evening of entertainment from the very appropriate opening with Handel's'Water Music"to the cheering and fireworks of Sousa's"Stars and Stripes Forever" as the grand finale. Conductor Robert Boudreau had the audience chanting"One more time!" during the big band medley. And it appears there will be one more time relatively soon for this fantastic orchestra to perform here again. Their vessel, Point Counterpoint It,will winter here rather than returning at 8 mites per hour to their home port in Pittsburgh. It looks now like their 1995 concert season will open here next June. It is a credit to your fine community spirit that we were able to secure contributions from 30 businesses, organizations, foundations and cities, that's 90% of the people we asked for help. There was terrific response from the thousands who enjoyed the concert and on behalf of them, our committee and us, we say thank you for your support. Cordially.

Attending from the city of Stillwater were Mayor Charles Hooley and Council Members Ann Bodlovick, Rich Cummings and Gary Funke. Attending from the city of Oak Park Heights were Mayor Barb O'Neal and Council Members Jack Doerr, Dave Schaaf and Dick Seggelke. The meeting convened at 7:10 p.m. The first item of discussion was the possibility of Stillwater providing fire protection services to Oak Park Heights, perhaps through the formation of a fire district. Mayor Hooley noted there could be different forms of payment for fire protection -- an exchange of street maintenance in certain areas, gallonage from the southeast sewer system. Advantages to Oak Park Heights that were pointed out included: a faster response time than the city currently receives from Bayport; fire inspections of businesses; and being on-line with Stiliwater's new GIS system. Councilman Gary Funke expressed his concern that any potential arrangement with Oak Park Heights be equitable with the contracts for service that Stillwater has with the townships. It was noted that Bayport's cooperation would be needed for a fire district to be formed. Thus far, Bayport's fire chief has not been amenable to that kind of arrangement. It was decided that the fire chiefs and mayors of Bayport, Oak Park Heights and Stillwater should meet to di uss the issue. )40f/ ayor O'Neal brought up MnDOTs desire for the cities to improve the 11 GGtag-6 road system to alleviate Highway 36 traffic. Specifically, .ci rJ) g y she �.. if said MnDOT would like 61st Street to be completed from Greeley Street to t , 1,7)/ ' Osgood Avenue, and a portion of the project is in Oak Park Heights. She suggested that the two cities look ajoint funding for an engineering feasibility study when setting the 'g5 budgets. She said she raised the issue to "put it on the burner as a discussion item." There was a brief discussion of MnDOT's plans for the overpass at Washington County Highway 5 and Minnesota 36, as well as the proposal to implement some type of sales/tourist tax in the city of Stillwater. Council members Rich Cummings and Dick Seggelke talked about the possibility of constructing a new ice arena/community center in • conjunction with a new Stillwater National Guard Armory. Mayor Hooley noted the Armory is not a guaranteed go. There was agreement that if a new arena/community center is built, it should be a cooperative effort, including the townships and possibly the county. The meeting concluded at 9:30 p.m. It was agreed the session was productive and that similar sessions should be held in the future, with Bayport invited to participate as well.

CONCERNS REGARDING THE NEW RIVER BRIDGE The purpose of the Joint Meeting was to discuss the differences of viewpoint between the two cities regarding the proposed new river bridge and to try and adopt a unified position. The Stillwater City Council favors the proposed southern corridor and Oak Park Heights favors the proposed central corridor. Another issue brought out is the proposed Mn/DOT plan to lower Highway 36 in order to bring it up to freeway status. After much discussion, the Stillwater City Council stated they would recommend, at their May 19 Regular Meeting, to amend their previous resolution that any alignment of the proposed southern corridor is satisfactory; and also, that Highway 36 alignment be left as is. The Oak Park Heights Council stated they would recommend, as an alternative to the central corridor preference of the plan, the southern corridor with a central or southern alignment; and would also recommend that the alignment of Highway 36 be left as is.

This study was prepared for the West Stillwater Business Park Planning Committee by the Community Development Department. The first section of the report describes the existing conditions in the area in terms of land use, zoning, traffic, parking, utilities, design and appearance, employment, and development trends. These conditions form the basis for the recommendations contained in the second section of the report, which are designed to address current needs and anticipated problems. The West Stillwater Business Park has traditionally been defined as the area bounded by Highway 36 on the south, County Road 5 on the west, Greeley Street on the east, and Orleans Street on the north. For the purposes of the study we have also included Stillwater Township land to the west of County Road 5, the Benson Farm to the north of Orleans, and the commercial strip running east from Greeley along Highway 36 to the city limits. Reasons for the Plan: The West Stillwater Business Park was established to provide a large amount of vacant land for industrial development. As the population and median income of the surrounding area continued to grow, it came under increasing pressure to support large scale retail development. In 1986, a developer proposed a 42 million dollar retail mall/hotel/office project at the intersection of Highway 36 and County Road 5. The proposed mall, called Woodland Lakes, created a great deal of controversy. Residents argued that land intended for industrial use should not be used for a retail mall which would serve people well beyond the Stillwater area. Opponents replied that there was a bigger demand for retail in the area than for industrial development. Other people questioned the viability of the project itself, claiming that there was enough retail in the Stillwater area. If additional retail businesses were added to the market existing retailers would suffer, particularly those in downtown Stillwater. Despite this opposition, the mall was approved. In 1987, with site preparation already underway, the Woodland Lakes Mall collapsed due to financing problems, and the developer left the state one step ahead of many creditors. Because the controversy had caused many new questions about the land use in the industrial park, the Stillwater City Council decided that a thorough study of the area was needed. A citizen committee, made up of business owners, land owners, planning commissioners, realtors, and concerned citizens of the area, was established to oversee the planning of the area. I • a Property owners in the Business Park were also concerned about the visual impact of development in the area. Many of the new buildings in the park were attractive office buildings with an abundance of landscaping and buffered parking. Those property owners were concerned about new development that was not compatible with the existing buildings. They feared both for the general look of the area and for their property values. There was nothing in the zoning for the business park which would regulate design. Developers could put up a metal building if they wished. Because of this, an examination of existing building design was included in the research for the plan. • 2 ! BACKGROUND Stillwater is a beautiful city located in Washington County approximately 18 miles northeast of St. Paul and 25 miles east of Minneapolis. It borders the State of Wisconsin. Its distinctive downtown architecture gives the visual impression of the 19th century city. This, coupled with the scenic St. Croix River Valley, makes Stillwater an attractive and well known city with a sizeable tourist trade. Major transportation routes from the Twin Cities Metro Area which have direct access to Stillwater are State Highway 36 and County Road 5 which intersects Interstate Highways 694 and 494. These major transportation routes make Stillwater an attractive place to live for Twin Cities Metro Area commuters. Stillwater was established in 1843 from a small camp of lumbermen from Maine who saw the St. Croix River as a perfect place for the transportation of lumber. Stillwater is located at a point where the bluffs swing back from the river and provide a level space of land. Stillwater considers itself the birthplace of Minnesota because in February, 1851 the territorial legislature first meet there and designated St. Paul as the territorial capital. Stillwater received the second prize, the site of the territorial penitentary. •The lumber industry was Stillwater's main economic base until the early 1900's. After the turn of the century, the lumber industry left the St. Croix Valley, and Stillwater's population shrunk from 25, 000 to 10, 000. The population remained stable into the 1950's and 1960's. The areas around Stillwater began to grow at this time, reflecting the general growth of the Twin Cities metropolitan area. New commercial areas sprouted upon Highway 36 outside the city limits. Between 1970-1980, population increased 36. 8% in Washington County versus a 20. 6% increase in Stillwater. The reason that the county population is growing faster than the City of Stillwater is because of the accelerated growth of southern Washington County. This area, which includes the rapidly growing cities of Woodbury, Oakdale and Cottage Grove is both closer to the metropolitan area and has better access along Interstate 94. During the same period, Washington County was continuing to maintain its position as the county with the highest median income in Minnesota. During the period of 1980-86, County median income growth outpaced that of the rest of the Twin Cities metro area. These income and population growth rates, and the expectation of continued growth to come, have brought a lot of interest in major retail development to the Stillwater area. 3 # As the downtown businesses became more oriented to the tourist trade since the 1960's, the commercial area along Highway 36 became the main shopping place for Stillwater area residents. As commercial pressures have increased, people have have started to question the saving of vacant land in the Business Park area for industrial development. The Woodland Lakes development might have collapsed, but other developers are interested in a major retail development in the Business Park area. The site at the intersection of Highway 36 and County Road 5 has plenty of room, access, visibility, and proximity to market. It is probable that there will be many more major proposals put forth for the site. With the completion of the West Stillwater Business Park Plan, the City of Stillwater will be able to manage the growth in this area with planned annexations, planned utility placements and an overall organized growth policy plan for Commercial, Industrial and Residential districts. • 4 i EXISTING CONDITIONS Geographic Description: Long Lake and its drainage area form the western boundary of the study area. The Stillwater Township land in this area is gently rolling and slopes west to Long Lake. There are farms and some single family houses in this area, with no sewer/water lines. The only access to this area is along 62nd Street, a narrow, two lane road. Going east just across County Road 5 is the largest vacant parcel in the study area. This site is approximately 60 acres, graded, and slopes to the west toward Long Lake. It does not have sewer/water lines. Access to this area would have to come from Highway 5 or Orleans Street, or from the extension of Curve Crest Boulevard and/or Tower Drive. From east of this site to Washington Street is a series of smaller parcels. Most of the ones along Highway 36 have been developed while most of the ones further north have not. This land is accessible from Washington Street, West Orleans Street, Tower Drive, and Curve Crest Boulevard. Sewer/water lines run along the existing streets. East of Washington Street to Greeley Street is the original Stillwater Industrial Park, which has a variety of retail, commercial, and industrial development. Washington Street, Northwestern Avenue, Industrial Boulevard, and Greeley Street all provide access to this area from Highway 36. Tower Drive runs East-West between Washington and Northwestern, while Curve Crest Boulevard is the only East-West street serving the entire area. Sewer/water lines run along the existing streets. North of the Industrial Park is the Benson farm. The Benson farm is primarily flat land, and is currently used as a sod farm. Access to this area could come either from the extension of Orleans Street or Pine Tree Trail, or from Curve Crest Boulevard next to Courage Center, where a road easement exists. The farm has no sewer/water lines, and the nearest ones run along Curve Crest Boulevard. East of Greeley Street is the Brick Pond area. This area currently has residential and commercial development, a cemetary, a school, vacant land, and the Washington County Government Center. Some of this land is in Stillwater, and some is in Oak Park Heights. The land in this area slopes to the north. Greeley and Osgood Streets provide access to Highway 36. There is no East-West road which runs through this area. Sewer/water lines run along the existing streets. 5 • Zoning: With the exception of the Benson farm and the land west of County Road 5, the land in the study area is zoned Industrial. This varies from IP-I ( Industrial ) to IP-C (Commercial) to IP-C1 (Commercial One) . These zoning classifications have the same bulk, height, density, landscaping, and lot coverage requirements. They differ only in regard to the permitted and conditionally permitted land uses. The Benson farm and the land west of County Road 5 are Stillwater Township land. These area are zoned R4. This is a Washington County zoning designation. R4 is single family residential with a minimum lot size of 10, 400 square feet per dwelling unit. The Township land west of County Road 5 consists of single family residential, with some remaining agricultural land. The uses of both of these properties are consistent with their current zoning. This Stillwater Township land is not expected to be developed in the near future. This means that the proper zoning is in place for those areas most likely to be developed, and there are no areas in immediate need of rezoning. On the fringe of the Business park are some areas zoned RCM. This is Multi-Family Residential zoning. Multi-family must contain a minimum of three units. The minimum lot size is 12, 000 square feet with a minimum of 2, 800 square feet per unit. These districts are transition areas between the Business Park and sigle-family residential. districts. Land Use: The Stillwater West Business Park contains approximately 450 acres of land, with 111 businesses located within its boundaries. Over 2200 people are employed in 1, 000, 000 square feet of building space. The total value of property in the Business Park area is over 45 million dollars. Of the total acreage in the Business Park, 48% is vacant land, 19% is agricultural, 11% is office/service, 8% is industrial, 7. 5% is retail, 5% is residential, and 1. 5% is restaurant. Of the total property value of approximately $45 million dollars, 30% of the value is office/service, 24% is retail, 18. 5% is industrial, 14% is vacant land, 9. 5% is residential, 3% is restaurants, and 1% is agricultural land. Of the total employment of over 2200 people, 42% are employed in industrial businesses, 38. 5% in office/service, 10% in restaurants, and 9. 5 in retail. 6 • I For industrial businesses, 98% of their employees are full time. For office/service 73%, retail 52%, and restaurants 21%. Of the employees, 37. 5% live in Stillwater, 22. 5% live in Wisconsin, 20% live in Washington County outside of Stillwater, 18. 5% live in Minneapolis - St. Paul and its suburbs, and 1. 5% live elsewhere. In the restaurant and retail sectors, over 50% of the people employed are Stillwater residents. In the office/service sector, 40% of the employees are Stillwater residents, while in the Industrial sector 30% of them are. It is estimated that 4-5% of employees carpool to work. Land Use/tonin g Comparison: A comparison of existing Land Use and toning indicates that existing uses are generally consistent with zoning regulations. The three Industrial Park zoning classifications ( Industrial Park-Industrial, Industrial Park-Commercial, and Industrial Park-Commercial One) are very similar. they are exactly the same with regard to setbacks, landscaping, lot size requirements, maximum floor area and lot coverage, and ',other government regulation. They are different with regard to the permitted. and conditionally permitted uses. The most important difference in the permitted is that Industrial Park-Industrial, which comprises 80 percent of the Business Park area, does not allow retail. Most of the general retail in the Business Park has been established along the Highway 36 frontage road in the area designated for retail. These are the arelas zoned Industrial Park-Commercial, which is the area intended for retail. These areas comprise 15% of the Business Park. The exceptions to this are some retail establishments along Washington Avenue and Tower Drive in the area designated industrial. Office and service areas have been developed throughout the industrial park. This is consistent with the fact that there is not a zoning classification specifically for office/service use. In fact, it is permitted under all three 'industrial park zoning classifications. Most of these are one o two story buildings with one tenant. There has been some development of small multi-tenant office buildings. There have been only a few instances of speculative office buildings being built which are not totally leased. Most of the industrial development has been consistent with the Industrial Park-Industrial zoning classification. These developments are basically light industrial with offices adjoined. No heavy industrial is permitted in the Business Park. 7 111 III Multiple family housing has also been developed in the area zoned Industrial Park-Industrial. However, the location of these developments are on the fringe areas of the Industrial Park and are compatible uses with the surrounding areas outside of the park. Whether they are compatible with the surrounding industrial and commercial uses is an issue that some have raised. Some of the single-family neighborhoods ave requested that adjoining areas of the Business Park be ezoned RCM for multi-family housing. They want additio al bufferring between them and the Business Park. The Stillwater Township land is zoned R4. This is a Washington County zoning designation. R4 is single family residential with a minimum lot size of 10, 400 square feet per dwelling unit. The township land in the study area consists of the Benson farm and the land west of County Road 5. The Tow3ship land west of County Road consists of single family residenti 1, with some remaining agricultural land. The uses of both of hese properties are consistent with their current zoning. Utilities: Most of the study area has electric, gas water and sewer service. It is the City of Stillwater's� policy to build utility service on an "as needed" basis. Theref re the service lines were built as the roads were constructed and the roads were constructed only as the area developed. The only areas lacking utility service are those areas where roads have not yet been constructed. Service extensions into undeveloped areas would occur in conjunction with the extension of streets as required by new development. No problems are anticipated in providing services to new development. Electrical service is provided by Northern States Power Company (NSP) . Service lines are underground and were installed at the time streets were put into the area, and so they are considered to be in good condition. 8 i Natural gas is also provided by NSP in underground pipes. These pipes were also installed at the time streets were put into the area, and are considered to be in good condition. Sewer/water and Storm Water Sewer service are provided by the City of Stillwater. Sewer/water lines connect with the Lily Lake station just northeast of the Business Park. Sewer/water lines are considered adequate in size to handle new development. New development on the Woodland Lakes site at County Road 5 and Highway 36 would require a pumping station to provide enough pressure to reach the Lily Lake station. Storm Sewer lines outlet into natural drainage basins scattered around the business park area. The storm sewer lines and drainage basins are capable of handling storm water from the equivalent of a 100 year storm. The only major area in the Business Park that lacks utility services is the Woodland Lakes area along Highway 5. The nearest sewer/water and storm water service lines to this area are located along Washington Street. There are gas and electric lines located along County Road 5 and at Orleans Street. The bank located on the northeast intersection of Highway 36 and Highway 5 and the convience store located at County Road 5 and Orleans street both have on-site septic systems. They will be connected to sewer/water lines when they are brought into the area. Outside the current Business Park area, the Stillwater Township land west of County Road 5 and the Benson farm both lack sewer/water and storm sewer service. This is not a problem now. When and if these lands are annexed for development, service will need to be provided by extension from existing areas. Design Concerns: Of the building facades in the Business Park, 44. 5% are primarily of brick, 28% of cement or concrete, 17% of wood, 5. 5% of metal, and 5% other materials. Slightly over 50% of businesses indicate a concern with the design of new or existing buildings. When just the businesses between Greeley St and County Road 5 are considered, the percentage of those concerned rises to over 65%. When River Heights Plaza Mall businesses are also excluded, the percentage concerned about design rises to over 75%. The area between County Road 5 and Greeley St where the design concerns are concentrated is the also the area where the brick and wood buildings are concentrated. It is also the area where buildings have the most landscaping. 9 ® o Vacant Land: A survey of vacant land conducted by the Stillwater Community Development Department in early 1989 identified 181 acres of vacant land available in the Stillwater Business Park between County Road 5 and Greeley Street. This expanded study has identified 297 acres of land for development. Currently 97 acres have sewer/water service available, and 200 acres would require that service be extended to them. Development Trends : Based on the growth trends of 1980-1988, the Stillwater Community Development Department has projected that approximately 5 acres of land is needed annually to support commercial development in the Business Park area. Considering that growth trends have accelerated in 1987-1988, that figure may be low. A survey of the current businesses in the Business Park area found that over 80% of them have no plans for expansion in the next five years. Thirteen businesses plan to expand within two years, and nine more plan to expand within five years. They estimate that these expansions will add approximately 70, 000 square feet of space and 140-180 employees. Since there .are 297 acres of vacant land available for development, it is clear that Stillwater has enough land available for commercial growth for the foreseeable future. 10 WEST STILLWATER BUSINESS PARK SURVEY Summary of Business Park Survey A survey was conducted of all of the businesses in the Business Park. This survey, in combination with a walking survey of all businesses, was intended to obtain information and attitudes from the area businesses. Among the information obtained were employment levels - both full and part-time, home location of employees, carpooling, parking space counts, expansion plans, square footage of buildings, with a subsequent breakdown into office, production, and warehouse square footage, building facade materials, and design concerns. Methodology: The Business Park Survey was initially distributed on July 26, with follow-up distribution the next day to all businesses that were closed the first time. A week and a half later on August 4, the businesses were visited again and the surveys picked up. Subsequent trips were made to pick up surveys that were not filled out by August 4. Initially 111 surveys were distributed. During the month of August four businesses failed, leaving 107 possible responses. As of September 1, 1989, there were 101 responses out of a possible 107, a response rate of 94%. Employees: • There were a total number of employees of 2356. Of this 1641 were fulltime workers, and 715 were part time. Of these employees, 990 were living in Stillwater, 458 were living in Washington County outside of Stillwater, 488 lived in Wisconsin, 385 lived in Minneapolis-St. Paul or the suburbs outside of Washington County, and 35 lived elsewhere. There were an estimted 118 workers who carpooled, or 5% of the total employed in the Business Park.

Three land use alternatives and one blank map for your ideas is attached. Several land use patterns and road system are proposed. Land Use Alternative 1 shows Curve Crest Boulevard as a commercial corridor with a thirty acre industrial site located between the Frontage Road and an extended Curve Crest Boulevard. The Benson Farm is indicated primarily single family with some multi -family. This land use alternative extends Orleans Street to the east and connects back to Curve Crest. Curve Crest Boulevard is extended to County Road #5. Land Use Alternative 2 shows Industrial north of Curve Crest from Northwestern to Washington Avenue and north of future Orleans. Retail commercial is indicated in the area east of County Road 5 and south of Orleans. The hundred acre Benson Farm has a mixture of single family residential/multi-family residential and industrial uses. Industrial is shown west of County Road#5. Alternative 3 shows a mix of commercial and industrial lands along Curve Crest Boulevard . The lands bordering the Frontage Road are retail commercial continuing the land use pattern from the east. The lands west of County Road 5 are designated single family residential north of 62nd Street and north of Parkwood Lane and industrial along County Road #5. Access to the industrial site is provided off of 62nd Street north which intersects with Curve Crest Boulevard . In this alternative the Benson Farm is designated single family next to existing single family houses and Lily Lake . Then low density multi -family and medium density multi -family to the south. Pine Tree Trail would connect to Orleans as a residential street. The land between the Courage Center and Charter Oaks is designated residential . At last meeting, some Committee Members requested a map to draw in land uses. Land use Alternative Map 4 is a blank base map with existing land uses . Indicate a land uses pattern you feel is appropriate and present it to the Committee at Monday's meeting.

That-the Metropolitan Council inform the city of Stillwater this plan amendment is approved and that no plan modification is required. 3. That the Metropolitan Council commend the city of Stillwater for addressing its infiltration/inflow (I/I) problem and encourage the city to continue with their efforts. 4. That the city of 'Stillwater revise its comprehensive sewer plan base map to show the area proposed for sanitary sewer service. Respectfully submitted, Joan Campbell , Chair • S Metropolitan Council of the Twin Cities Area Mears Park Centre, 230 E. 5th St. St. Paul, Minnesota 55101 Tel. 612 291-6359/TDD 291-0904 DATE: May 30, 1989 TO: Metropolitan and Community Development Committee FROM: Steven Schwanke, Comprehensive Planning SUBJECT: City of Stillwater Comprehensive Plan Amendment CPA/89-3 (Washington County Facilities) Metropolitan Council District 7 Metropolitan Council Referral No. 14835-4 INTRODUCTION The city of Stillwaterfhaasubmitted a leanprehensiyi°plea ameadmet ,ror 114 aerea. eget of Panama Avenue and south of 62nd street in the city of Stillwater. The amendment proposes to change land uses from residential/open space to Washington County offices (public facility), parking, and open space. The proposed amendment is to accommodate Washington County facilities and provides an open space area to buffer adjacent residential areas. The city of Stillwater annexed the subject parcel on October 31, 1988 from the city of Oak Park Heights. Stillwater is a freestanding growth center and the subject parcel is situated within the city's MUSA boundaries. County facilities will be required to connect with municipal sewer. AUTHORITY TO REVIEW The Metropolitan Land Planning Act of 1976 requires that amendments to local comprehensive plans be prepared and submitted to the Metropolitan Council for review and adopted in the same manner as the original plan. (Minnesota Statutes 473.864, Subd. 2, 1978). Guidelines adopted pursuant to Minnesota Statutes 473.864 for reviewing proposed amendments provide for a 90-day review period for amendments potentially affecting one or more of the metropolitan systems, and a 60-day review period for amendments that do not have a potential impact on metropolitan systems. The city of Stillwater submitted the proposed amendment to the Metropolitan Council on April 26, 1989. On May 8, 1989, the chair determined that the proposal constituted a minor amendment and that it had no potential impact on metropolitan systems. A 60-day review was taken, however, to make comment on sewer issues. SEWERS (Jack Frost) The proposed development will have no adverse impact on the Metropolitan Disposal System. Projected year 2000 wastewater flows for the city shown in the plan amendment are within regional flow forecasts. The city of Stillwater, however, should revise its comprehensive sewer plan base map to show the area proposed for sanitary sewer service. • 2 • The city of Stillwater has a tremendous infiltration/inflow (I/I) problem in its local sewer system. The average annual flow ranges from about 120,000 gallons per house per year during dry years to over 145,000 gallons per house per year during wet years. Even during dry years the city has I/I flows higher than the average city in the metropolitan area. The Stillwater Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) secondary filter units are sometimes bypassed as a result of the severe I/I problem. This has resulted in the plant violating its secondary treatment standards. The MWCC is currently preparing plans and specifications for the expansion of the Stillwater WWTP with the design flow for the plant at 4.5 million gallons per day (MGD). The design does not allow for the peak amount of I/I that is currently being experienced by the ci'iy of Stillwater. The city of Stillwater is commended on taking steps toward addressing the problem of I/I (see the downtown Stillwater plan amendment referral file no. 14835-1). The city is encouraged to do as much as possible to remove clearwater connections from both public as well as private sources, to the sanitary system. By solving its I/I problem Stillwater will be saving money in reduced sewer bills and improving the quality of the St. Croix River. FINDINGS 1. The city of Stillwater has submitted a plan amendment for an 11 acre land use change from residential/open space to Washington County facilities, parking, and open space. This parcel was annexed by the city of Stillwater October 31, 1988. 2. The city of Stillwater has a severe Infiltration/Inflow (I/I) problem in its local sewer system. Even during very dry years the city has I/I flows higher than the average city in the metropolitan area. The city has taken steps to ocrrect the I/I problem. RECOMMENDATIONS 1. That the Metropolitan Council accept the above findings and the staff report as part of these recommendations. 2. That the Metropolitan Council inform the city of Stillwater that this plan amendment is approved and that no plan modification is required. 3. That the Metropolitan Council commend the city of Stillwater for addressing its infiltration/inflow (I/I) problem and encourage the city to continue with their efforts. 4. That the city of Stillwater revise its comprehensive sewer plan base map to show the area proposed for sanitary sewer service.

The amendment . proposes to annex 11 acres of land east of Panama Avenue and south of 62nd Street presently located in the City of Oak Park Heights. The area proposed for annexation is within the City of Oak Park Heights urban service area. The amendment proposes to change the land use from residential/open to County offices parking and open space. The change in land use will have no adverse impact on planned flows to the Stillwater Wastewater Treatment Plant. The Commission, therefore, has no objection to the amendment as submitted.

MINNESOTA MUNICIPAL BOARD 165 Metro Square Building St. Pau inner to 55101 / / f ftTerrence A. Merritt Executive Director • • D-240 Oak Park Heights/ A-4466 Stillwater MEMORANDUM The Municipal Board, in ordering the concurrent detachment and annexation, notes that the City of Oak Park Heights and the City of Stillwater were unable to resolve their disagreement over the placement of the expansion to the county courthouse. in the board's eyes, the county shares the blame for this disagreement, too. While the petitioner has met its burden of proof for the concurrent detachment and annexation of its property, the board takes this opportunity to advise these three local units of government that they should work together more closely. They should avoid spending the taxpayers money needlessly over disagreements that can be ironed out at the local level . The board reminds Washington County and the City of>-Stiii'water.: of the extensive testimony about the proper berming and screening that will be used around the courthouse addition to mitigate its impact on the neighborhood. The board is confident that the appropriate mitigation methods area employed. The ravine in Parcel C should assist in the lessening of an impact on the neighborhood. The board would hope that the Cities of Stillwater and Oak Park Heights will resolve any differences so that the courthouse expansion can be served in the most economical fashion possible.° 714 !Q_ 3_g 5.

MWCC staff told Association members that odor control will be a major component of the plant expansion scheduled for 1990-91. In_ fact, of the $12 . 5 million estimated for plant construction costs, $2 million will be spent on odor control. However, recognizing that it will be 1992 before residents benefit from the expansion's odor control measures, MWCC staff also said they would ask the Commission for the authority to implement interim odor control measures. That request was granted. Three primary odor sources were identified: the load-out area (where sludge is transferred to trucks to be hauled away) , the sludge digesters, and the air lift pumps. By spring, action will have been taken to reduce odors from all three of these sources. Already, the load-out area has been moved to the south side of the plant, further from the condominiums. A new building to enclose the load-out area has been erected, and scrubbing devices to remove odors released during load-out will be installed by spring. More than $25, 000 has been spent on this project. Repairs have been made to the sludge digesters to reduce odors. MWCC staff are also working to make the digesters more completely burn off the odorous hydrogen sulfide gas they produce. A new burner is on order and should be installed by spring, along with new submersible pumps. The new pumps will replace the existing air lift pumps and should significantly reduce odors. One other item I should note: The MWCC has agreed to provide lighting and clear brush at the railroad crossing at the plant. This will also be accomplished this spring. The MWCC currently intends to hold a meeting with Sunnyside Condominiums residents during April, to further explain the work that has been going on at the plant. MWCC staff will work with Association president Ron Perlt to arrange a convenient time and place. EQUAL OPPORTUNITY/AFFIRMATIVE ACTION EMPLOYER • • I am enclosing a copy of a story from the most recent issue of the MWCC "Link," the Commission's newsletter, which may be of interest to you. It tells about the efforts the MWCC is making to control odors system wide. If you have any questions or comments, please call me at 229-2100. Si erely; eA- David W.

The Jaycees have done a tremendous job in providing the Stillwater area with a complex that will help meet the great demand for athletic activities this area seems to produce. Of course there is a cost associated with the complex and the Jaycees still need to raise approximately $36,000 to complete the complex. The City of Stillwater has already contributed approximately $5,000 for in-kind services to the project. The City is also prepared to contribute $8,000 in cash toward the project. However, the City feels the additional contribution should be made only if some of the surrounding communities contribute. This position has been taken for two reasons: 1. For budgeting reasons; and 2. Over 50% of the people who use the complex reside outside of the City. Someone from the Jaycees organization should be contacting you in the near future to ask for your contribution. I hope your community will honor their request. If you have already been contacted by the Jaycees and have decided to not contribute I hope you will reconsider.

Benson also said that Brekke Park was flooded by someone other than a Public Works employee without sweeping the ice, and that is why the ice became bumpy. He requested that Public Works be the only ones to flood the rinks in order to prevent this from happening in the future . c . Benson said that the trails have been cleared, although the trail on 58th Street is accumulating a lot of snow. Councilmember Turnquist requested that the Council continue to discuss the establishment of a Planning Commission and suggested doing so in a workshop. Turnquist also asked if the City needs an ordinance dealing with individual sanitary sewer systems . City Attorney Vierling said that the City is covered under the County' s plan, but that he would draft an ordinance for Oak Park Heights. Turnquist requested an update on the status of the County purchasing election equipment for municipal use. II. NSP Utility Permit - John Wertish Mayor Schaaf pulled this item off the workshop agenda. Councilmember Beaudet said the comment period for the permit has been extended and public comment is encouraged. Mayor Schaaf said that NSP has been very cooperative to work with on this issue. III . Valley View Estates - Jack Krongard Mr. Krongard was unable to attend - Mayor Schaaf pulled this item off the workshop agenda. Interim Administrator Holst said that she has spoken with Mr. Krongard and that he feels that he has done his part with this development and any problems with the beehives are the City' s responsibility. City Engineer Anderlik said that Mr. Krongard' s conclusion is based on a false assumption that his development did not increase any of the drainage volume to the storm sewers. Anderlik was directed to write a letter to Krongard reiterating this point. City Attorney Vierling was also directed to review Krongard' s Development Agreement. IV. D . - •s • _W.. - Membership Mayor Schaaf said that he has learned that the Chamber does not give any money to the Bridge Alliance, a pro-bridge organization.

Councilmember Turnquist agreed and staff was directed to add the item to the Consent Agenda. V. Discussion of 1998 Council Appointments . Councilmember Robert said that Margaret Schwartzbauer will occupy one of the open seats on the Parks Commission. The appointment of a Cable Commission Citizen Representative was postponed until the January 27 Council meeting. Council also agreed that all appointments are to be for one-year terms unless otherwise noted. Staff was directed to contact Abrahamson Nurseries to see if they would be interested in becoming the City' s Arborist . City Attorney Vierling said that having Abrahamson as the arborist may not work; the company also bids to plant trees in the City. Councilmember Robert requested that the Tree Board responsibilities be transferred to the Parks Commission and the item be added to the January 27 agenda. VI . Closed Session. City Attorney Vierling said that not all personnel issues are allowed in closed session, and that the current request for closed session does not fit into the allowable reasons. Mike Thomas - NSP Ash Management Mr. Thomas was present to inform the Council that there will be some work done on the cap structure of the ash pit . Thomas said that there is an agreement between NSP, MN/DOT, and the MPCA to do this work. While Thomas emphasized that there are no ecological or human contamination, he stated that there have been influences on the groundwater detected which NSP would like to immediately address. Council requested that Thomas return before the project begins to make a more in-depth presentation to the Council . Council also requested that the trucks hauling for this project use state roads while working. Thomas agreed to return and explain the project more in depth to the Council later this winter or early spring.

Visitor Comments: Jim Kellison - Stillwater Area Economic Development Committee (SAEDC) - Kellison, representing SAEDC, discussed the possible establishment of an industrial park on land south of the Highway 36 frontage road. The land in question is currently zoned either Commercial or Open Space . Darryl Haase, owner of some of the land in question, was present . Kellison described a possible alignment of streets and lots for the land, and noted that to purchase the land and install streets and utilities would cost approximately three million dollars . Kellison noted that he was aware of several industrial companies that would like to locate in the area but there was no place for them to locate . Kellison indicated that he knew of no one who had the money to step forward to start the industrial park and he thought that only the City was capable of taking such a step. Councilmembers Kern, Swenson, and Robert expressed concerns and said they were unwilling to risk the City taxpayers money. Councilmember Swenson said that he was willing to zone the land for industrial uses . Councilmember Robert noted that most major retail developments have a tenant or two signed up in advance before they start building and said she would like to have a similar arrangement before discussing any City supported development . Mayor Schaaf thanked Kellison and noted that he had invited him to speak to raise the issue of establishing an industrial park and he asked the public to comment to him and the council with their feelings on the matter. Junker Sanitation/United Waste Proposal - Vince Vanella was present representing Junker Sanitation to discuss a proposal regarding the disposal of yard waste . Vanella noted that Junker was having problems disposing of the compost it was currently making from yard waste because the plastic garbage bags it was disposed in made the compost unusable. His proposal was that yard waste be disposed in a paper bag which would be biodegradable, thereby improving the environment and making the compost marketable . • • SSAE a :11.' i e ........ ■■■AN ■p. ■■■ C ■'.■■■■ ',M■■■■ STILLWATER AREA ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT NEWSLETTER MAY 1994 CORPORATION (612) 439-4544 WELCOME TO SAEDC NEWS SAEDC COMMITTEE UPDATES The Marketing Committee of the Stillwater Area Marketing Committee Economic Development Corporation(SAEDC) The Marketing Committee had as its major would like to welcome you to the first of what responsibility this year to provide information to will be a quarterly newsletter produced by the local residents and elected officials on the impact organisation.

In the first survey, nine of 33 respondents indicated they planned to relocate within three years. The Business Retention Committee responded to those companies directly with calls and visits. To provide an update on those businesses we can report that two businesses relocated within the SAEDC area,two businesses relocated out-of-state, and five have remained in their Stillwater Area locations. Two of the businesses interviewed in 1988 have gone out of business. The 1990 survey identified no businesses ri intendissues areto rtaxes labor and land and facility te in the near future. However,the businesses indicate p space availability. The positive attitude about the Stillwater Area and the business outlook provide a sound basis for planning for the future. There are limitations on what action SAEDC can take to foster a climate within which businesses can thrive. Realizing these limitations, our efforts are geared to communication- -between public and private entities—both within the community and outside the community. The 1988 survey identified state and local taxes as the most discouraging factor for businesses expanding or remaining in the area. Following up on that finding, a delegation of the Business Retention Committee and SAEDC members made a presentation to state legislators to assure that they were made aware of the dissatisfactions registered by businesses in the survey process. We are committed to the continued effort to retain and assist in the expansion of business in the StilwaterArea. The findings of this report will be the subject of review by the public and private sector representation within the Stillwater Area Economic Development Corporation. This report is made possible by the cooperation of the local businesses and the volunteer efforts of many concerned citizens. �_../ Martin Kellogg,Chairman / James W.Torseth, President �/ / Stillwater Area Economic Business Retention Commi a Development Corporation P.O.

Executive Summary The objectives of the Business Retention and Expansion Study are: * To establish baseline information about the manufacturing industry and major employers in the Stillwater area. *To identify the perceptions of the local economy by manufacturers and major employers. *To identify expansion and relocation plans. *To identify incentives and impediments related to business expansion. Communication is a key to success in any endeavor which involves many players. The 1990 survey provided businesses the opportunity to voice their concerns—both through the survey instrument itself and through the contact made by the volunteer interviewer. In and of itself, the survey doesn't promise results—but it opens the door for business to talk— and for others to listen. This report is one mechanism to facilitate listening—by state and local governmental bodies,business associations like the Chamber of Commerce and SAEDC, legislators, other businesses and the public-at-large—to name a few. All are stakeholders in the local economy. Baseline Information The survey process allows SAEDC to identify businesses in the community and track trends of growth and decline. Although no new major employers have been identified in this process the businesses surveyed indicated their employment was up an average of 3.5 percent from last year. Perceptions of the Local Economy Of the businesses interviewed in this process,none indicated they were intending to relocate. (In 1988, nine firms indicated they intended to relocate—two of those moved out of state and two moved within the Stillwater Area). The attitude about the future appears positive and investment oriented,as evidenced by the identified plans for changes: *40 percent intend to expand their facilities *52 percent intend to add product lines *None intend to reduce employment *52 percent intend to add employees *60 percent intend to modernize production capacity 1 Incentives and impediments related to taxes in 1988 were reiterated this year o major rsin businessh The concerns property er decisions regarding expanding and relocating.Taxes (state, imposed costs) and labor availability remain concerns. perceive that facility space A significant segment(more than 25 percent) of the respondentsof the bili and land availability are inadequate.On the other hand, a majority availa ty respondents did not see this as a problem. lice prevalentpositive attitude about local services,includingair and ail utilities,roadservics, police andis a en medical services, and fire protection,school system,emergency This positive attitude is also reflected in the business community's rating of the area's assets.

General Findings The Stillwater Area Business Retention and Expansion Study focused on population of 25 manufacturers and other major employers in the Stillwater a.othr Te study was designed to contact all manufacturing concerns, regardless of size, and rs" which are believed to employ 100 or inore cluded inle. It should be noted that more the 1990 survey, categorized as major nonmanufacturing participants were m employers. The threshold size for the nonmanufacturing category was increased from 20 in the 1988 study and the survey includes a number of nonmanufacturing companies of ess than 100 employees.

SAEDC's emphasis is on the expansion of the manufacturing sector of the economy as it has the largest single impact on other areas of the economy, including: * Spawning support for retail business and nonmanufacturing jobs * Creating need for new homes and other construction related investment * Creating jobs in the area, independent of local business conditions Recommendations for using the findings of this report include: * Inform state and local officials of the findings of th o a thee cconcern regardingvey and increase efforts taxes to make legislators and other policy makers aware * Distribute the information to businesses interested in moving to the Stillwater Area as a testimonial of the positive Stillwater Area business conditions. * Continue to communicate to the public the benefits of industrial development and job creation. * Encourage the Chamber of Commerce and other agencies to review the survey findings and offer programs to address issues of interest. * Continue efforts to have an open forum with manufacturers and major employers to identify trends and issues related to economic development. 10 Appendix A-1 DTED Business Retention and Expansion Survey Report SMS um e ..... il d ....M. 11UUUU/ STILLWATER AREA C CORPORATION DEVELOPMENT f BRE SURVEY REPORT 1989 STILLWATER • INTRODUCTION This document reports thedata o cllecedinthe 1989 Business Retention and Expansion survey Stillwater. hic The report is divided into a Summary Report -- including graphic presentation of the highlights -- and the Aggregated Data Report, which shows the aggregated responses of all participantsin thea survey in the same format as the questionnaire.

AGGREGATED DATA REPORT. . . . . . . . • • • • • • Stillwater - 1 LOCATIONAL FACTORS SECTION This set of questions explores respondents' perceptions of the • quality of their current business location. Respondents were asked to list the outstanding features of their location, such as labor supply, land availability and business services, which make this location advantageous for their business. Respondents were also asked to name the factors that make their current location a disadvantage for doing business. Finally, respon- dents were asked to rate a list of factors as being either very important, important, somewhat important or not important as location factors for business expansion or relocation. This combination of questions will give economic development decision makers information regarding community assets and con- straints for different types of businesses. Assets can be used to develop a targeted marketing program to attract the types of businesses that benefit from those assets. Constraints should be examined to determine if action could be taken to eliminate or mitigate the perceived problem. By examining the importance rating of the factors, a level of priority can be established. This priority will help determine the allocation of resources directed toward solving the problem or the amount of attention an asset should receive in a marketing effort.

These factors discourage the business from expanding their business locally and/or in the state. Some of these factors can be controlled; some cannot. The level of local impact also varies. The control - lable factors and the factors that can be significantly impacted by local action should be a high priority for action. These fac- tors include local roads, schools, public services, and possibly utilities and quality of life. Other factors such as higher edu- cation, state or federal roads and state taxes may require inter- action with these higher levels of government. Factors such as business services, market and supply access, and possibly finance are generally out of local government's control . As shown above, a comparison of local and statewide discouraging factors for manufacturing firms shows them to be similar. The following factor appears to be somewhat more discouranging to businesses in this community as it is ranked in the top six locally but does not appear in the top 10 on a statewide basis. The factor is Permit Processes. Conversely, the following factors are more discouraging at the state level than at the local level for manufacturing firms: Labor Availability and Market Access. And for service/retail businesses: State Taxes and Market Access. In the presentations above, and in what follows, the 'Other' category has been suppressed because it lacks specificity. If the 'Other' category is high in the following table, indivi - dual questionnaires can be examined to determine the meaning given to this category by respondents.

Q CowwunitV ® Slate Stillwater - 1 The chart above can provide a community with insight as to what factors its own business community considers to be important. These perceptions can probably be generalized to businesses outside of the community as well . If the local perceptions vary considerably from statewide responses, this may point to some unique circumstances or industry mix. The table below contrasts the respondents' perceptions of a community's top rated assets with how important that factor is in local and Minnesota location decisions; 100 represents the highest importance.

Their experience, and resulting level of satisfaction with these services, can influ- ence their company's profitability and their consideration of their current location as a site for future investment. Lack of services can cost a business through increased insurance costs and can actually prevent a business from expanding in its current location. The chart below illustrates the level of business dissatisfaction with current services and facilities at the local and statewide levels for both manufacturing and service/retail sectors. While some of these services are not directly provided by local units of government, gaps in services and facilities should be resolved if at all possible. Rail and air service are obviously the most difficult service to provide if the service does not currently exist. The other factors on the chart are generally within local control and can be improved if they are inadequate and hindering economic growth. Stillwater - 8 In the following two charts, the open bar represents the community and the striped bar the state. The first chart shows the response of manufacturing firms, the second the response of service/retail companies.

The charts display how many businesses contacted government officials regarding problems, how many businesses were satis- fied with the level of effort and concern that went into solving the business' s problems and, finally, how many of these problems were actually resolved. These questions can also be used to gauge how approachable the local government is, as well . If there are many concerns identified in the table above, but few businesses have contacted the city regarding them, this indi - cates one of three things: the problem is not considered serious, businessmen do not feel that they can approach the city, or they think that such an approach would be fruitless .

Stillwater - 14 EMPLOYMENT AND WAGES The charts on the next page display the number of employees by job category for the manufacturing and service/retail sectors in the community. The following data may provide valuable information about a community's competitive position in the labor market. Lower than average wages would indicate a locational advantage over companies located in other areas. Substantially higher than average wages could be an early warning that firms may be considering a move. A community needs to examine its own industrial profile to determine if this is the case. The following two pages display average wages in dollars/year. Again, manufacturing wages are first, followed by service/retail wages, by job category. In these charts, the first bar (open) represents community data; the second (striped) bar shows state data; and the third bar (dots) shows data for the region. When a bar is missing for an employ category, it temeans that the respondents no data were reported by Stillwater - 15 EMPLOYMENT - MANUFACTURING Number of Employees Reported 0 ° I Oroi.aional 1::::: i • Managerial Coos.
