RE: Stillwater School District - Application for Amendment
to Conditional Use, Permit and Variarnces for Stillwater
High School Stadium
Our File: 16981/1
Dear Kn' s:
As you are aware, the Stillwater School District h as alrea commenced the bidding
process for a portion of the Iiigh School Stadium Pro j ect. The hid opening for the bleacher
portion of the proj ect has already occurrcd and selection of the successful bidder is anticipated
to occur at the District's next school board meeting, which will be held tomorrow evening,,
Thursday, April 25, 200 Assuming a contract award 's thereafter made to the successful
bidder, we anticipate that commencement of construction will need to commence promptly in
order to m eet the current construction deadlines.
In light of the above, we now ask that the District receive a signed Conditional Use
Permit as soon as possible. It would be irnmeiasely helpf d for us to be in a. position to deliver the
permit to the District for signature in advance of the apcorning school board meeting. As I am
su you can appreciate, any actual award by the District of the present contract prior to
finalization of the peAM t places the District at financial risk. while I recognize that the
remaining issues concerning the permit language were resolved only yesterday evening, any
assistance that can b provided by the C i ty to accornrnodatc our timetables will be greatly
appreciated. Naturally we will be happy to provide auy courier or other assistance to facilitatc
implementation of this pro by the City.
