Dear Bruce:
As a follow up to our meeting on Monday, I wanted to recap some of the items we
discussed and send you information that I had promised.
Please find attached a memo that will be sent to the Planning Commission and area
residents regarding moving the public hearing from 7 January 1999 to 21 January 1999.
Additionally, please find the neighborhood address listings for the meeting you plan to set
up. Lisa at City Hall can schedule the Council Chambers for you. George had asked for
Mollie Shodeen's (DNR) phone number at the meeting. It is 772 -7915.
In preparation for the meeting on 21 January, Kris Danielson and I feel that it is necessary
for your to address the issues that have been raised by neighborhood residents. This
should include the following:
1. The issue of when you will need a MPCA permit and a Stormwater Pollution
Preservation Plan will need to be resolved. It is my understanding from MPCA staff
that these are required before you occupy the site.
2. Mollie Shodeen of the DNR should be contacted and aerial photos from
Washington County sent to her. A copy of the grading, drainage and site plans
should also be sent when they are completed.
3. Washington County should be contacted and any hazardous waste permits that are
required should be obtained.

4. Any information regarding noise, emissions or other pollutions should be shared
with the neighborhood and City Staff.
5. Site plans including landscaping, lighting and grading /drainage. The issues of
paving and concentrating the use of the site near the buildings should be
considered by Ryder.
6. A traffic study should be done with an analysis of the vehicles to be added to
Stagecoach Trail and addressing the issue of traffic visibility for area residents.
7. Any information related to your current facility in Stillwater that supports the
neighborhood compatibility issue.
In order to review this request thoroughly, we would need all the required information at
City Hall on or before January 11, 1999. Additionally, it would be helpful to have another
staff meeting after your meeting with the neighborhood. Please contact either Kris
Danielson at 439 -4439 or me at 595 -9636 with any questions.
Sincerely,
