Along with nearly 1,900 residents, the Township is also home to the Washington County Fairgrounds and the Lake Elmo general aviation airport. TKDA provides Baytown Township planning and engineering services. As the Town Planner for the community, we review plans for development projects to ensure new construction, lot splits, and subdivisions meet local ordinances. Our team collaborates with building inspectors, watershed organizations, and other public agencies to uphold land use requirements. Other services include reviewing land use and zoning applications, preliminary and final plats, conditional and special use permits, and developing and updating codes and ordinances. TKDA facilitated the completion of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan to guide future decision-making for the community, while also meeting the requirements of the Metropolitan Land Planning Act. This process involved coordination with Washington County to complete a major update to the Township’s land use and zoning map in order to implement the Comprehensive Plan. TKDA • City of Scandia | On-call Planning Support Services 16 STILLWATER TOWNSHIP Reference: Barbara Riehle, Township Clerk 651.439.4120 A thirty minute drive east from TKDA’s Saint Paul office is Stillwater Township. Stillwater Township is nestled along the west shore of the St. Croix River, while the cities of Grant and Stillwater form the west and south borders of the Township. The Township is called home by nearly 2,500 residents. A blend of farm fields, lakes, and residential subdivisions make up a majority of the land uses. As an ‘urban’ township, they are able to exercise a number of municipal powers while retaining the township form of government. In 2016, Washington County transitioned most of its zoning authority to Stillwater Township. Due to its close proximity to the Twin Cities metro, the area has seen an increase in development over the last 20 years. Stillwater Township retains TKDA for general planning and zoning services. We help review and update zoning and subdivision ordinances, review plans for proposed development projects, and provide review of variance requests and Conditional Use permits. Recent ordinance updates include permitting of solar energy systems, livestock operations, and open space development subdivisions. TKDA has previously assisted in creating its comprehensive plans; the latest of which was adopted in 2018. The 2040 Comprehensive Plan addresses local needs and issues, while also meeting the requirements of the Metropolitan Council and the Metropolitan Land Planning Act. In 2012, TKDA collaborated with Township staff, two local Watershed Districts, the Town Board, and the Planning Commission to update the community’s Local Surface Water Management Plan. Staff worked closely with the community, attending and presenting at Planning Commission and Town Board meetings.

First developed in 1998 and reapproved in 2008, the County has authorized the creation of a new plan which sets forth the County’s vision regarding land use, parks and open space and protection of natural resources. Because of the large land area under consideration, virtual and in- person public engagement strategies are being utilized to optimize citizen participation.
