Stillwater, MN 55082
Dear Mr. Brabender:
We are in receipt of the application materials for the amendment to the conditional use
permit for a stadium at the High School. While significant background information vVas
prodded with this submittal, there are additional items necessary to make this
application complete. The December 18, 2001 letter from Kris Danielson briefly listed
some of the necessary items. After reviewing your materials, we have provided below a
_- .mor -e. -- detailed.-- ..l- ist-of or-eq.u.i.red -by the c- it- to-- accept_y -ou.r a.p-plj'.catio.n_an.d- rein -e_w
the proposed stadium plan,
Parking Analysis
With an amendment to an existing conditional use, the City must determine if there are
issues that must be addressed before any major change is allowed to a site. The
current parking issues at the High School are well known to ail of us. Adding a stadium
to the site may only compound the problem, at least on certain event days. While the
Zoning Ordinance parking standards may be met with the existing lot, the practical
reality of parking on the site is critical. The city will require a study from a parking
consultant to address the current situation, projected enrollments and staffing, and the
impact of a stadium. As you are aware, there is currently no overflow parking allowed
on city streets surrounding the High School or at Oak Park Ponds, The School District,
as part of this analysis, may need to address provisions for off -site parking, an increase
to the existing parking supply on site, or other alternatives as warranted.
Traffic Study
The City will require a study by a consulting traffic engineer to address current traffic
counts on 58 Street and Neal Avenue and to analyze any issues with the addition of a
stadium at the High School. The primary concern may be an overlap between stadium
events and day to day school operations, especially if the stadium lights are not
installed as part of initial construction.

Noise Analysis
The City will require a study by a noise consultant to analyze the external effects of the
sound system and stadium on surrounding properties,
Site Plan
The city will require a site plan including the location of the stadium in relationship to
surrounding properties. The plan should include distances to the nearest residential
properties /homes in Baytown Township to the south and Autumn Ridge in oak Park
Heights.
Other Plans/Analysis
The plans that have been submitted to our office were faced on a 1/ x 11 sheets, upon
further review of a full scale set of plans, there may be other items required for
submittal.
The City recognizes the time schedule required to construct a new stadium for the 2002
event schedule. we will work with you to progress through the application and review
process as quickly -as possible, while taking into account the need to provide the
necessary information to policy makers and the surrounding property owners and
neighbors.
We are returning the application and fees and acknowledge that the required timeline
for review will not commence until all of the items as required by the City are submitted.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me or Kris Danielson.
Sincerely,
NORTHWEST ASSOCIATED CONSULTANTS, INC.
