MINUTES OF MEETING HELD TUESDAY, MAY 29, 1990
Call to order by Mayor Sommerfeldt at 7:00 p.m. Present:
O'Neal, Kern, Seggelke, Eckberg and Wilson. Absent: Doerr.
Mayor Sommerfeldt introduced Michael Kaehler as the new building
inspector. He will commence his employment with the city on June
11, 1990.
Sharon Huggett from the Sunnyside Homeowner's Association
presented views on the bridge project.
Doerr arrived at 7:07 p.m.
O'Neal, seconded by Doerr, moved to adopt Resolution #90 -05 -18
formulating the recommendations as outlined in the City Planner's
letter dated May 24, 1990, recognizing the regional and local
need to improve the traffic, access, and mobility through the St.
Croix Valley. Given this recognition, the City has found that
the various no -build options are also not in its best interest.
The congestion, both existing and projected, along T.H. 36
presents adverse impacts that the City is already trying to
• address and mitigate. Resolution of these problems will not be
met through no -build alternatives.
Oak Park Heights therefore recommends the Central Corridor bridge
alternative as the preferred location for a new St. Croix River
bridge. This alternative would maintain the necessary traffic
and land use patterns needed to sustain successful businesses
along T.H. 36, while minimizing the acquisition and relocation
impacts of residents within the City. In addition, the various
environmental, social, economic, visual, and physical impacts of
the Central Corridor are least adverse in comparison to the other
build /no -build options when considering the benefits gained.
With this recommendation, however, the City of Oak Park Heights
asks MnDOT and WiDOT to explore all possible access locations to
T.H. 36 in its conversion to a limited access highway. Of
critical importance is access at Osgood Avenue. The final EIS
should provide alternative designs for public comment
establishing a highway access at Osgood Avenue in addition to
those preliminary access locations stated within the Draft EIS.
The North Corridor options of the Stillwater- Houlton Draft EIS
will severely affect the City's existing commercial businesses
and the City's capacity to attract new development and growth.
The City has recently undertaken significant expenditures to
maintain and foster the success of its T.H. 36 commercial
• district. A North Corridor selection will make these measures
useless as it will take away the basic lifeline of these
• Page two - Minutes 5/29/90
businesses. The failing of the City's commercial area will also
have a trickle -down effect on the City's residential structure
and tax base that would be detrimental to the community as a
whole.
The South Corridor options present great adverse impacts upon one
of the City's primary residential neighborhoods. The relocation
of approximately 50 homes would contribute to severe social
hardship for the relocated residents and those remaining in the
disrupted neighborhoods. In addition, there would be an adverse
fiscal impact on the City's tax base as well. While the impact
on the balance of the community would not be that great, the
impact upon lower Oak Park Heights outweighs other potential
benefits making this corridor unacceptable. Roll call vote taken
with 5 aye votes cast. Resolution adopted.
O'Neal, seconded by Doerr, moved to direct clerk to contact John
Low requesting a sign plan for Oak Park Plaza to be presented to
council at next meeting and allow Joe Francis to leave his
signage until vacancy is filled and another sign is requested. 5
aye votes. Carried.
Seggelke, seconded by O'Neal, moved to accept low quote from

directing administrator to order 700 at $6.14 each including logo
an freight. Color to be bright blue. 5 aye votes. Carried.

agreement in principle and authorize City Attorney to forward for

18, 1990.
Seggelke, seconded by O'Neal, moved to allow Park Committee to
hire a replacement summer park attendant. 5 aye votes. Carried.
O'Neal, seconded by Doerr, moved to adopt Resolution #90 -05 -19
stating the City's intent to continue to work with and support
SAEDC as the Star City Commission on matters relating to
industrial and commercial planning and land use. Roll call vote
taken with 5 aye votes cast. Resolution adopted.
