Item:Pre-Application Sketch Review for redevelopment of the
Dundee Nursery site, 16800 Highway 55, with apartments,
parking ramp and medical office uses (2019110)
1. Action Requested:
Review the sketch and provide the developer with informal comments.
A pre-application sketch is neither approved nor denied, but rather, its purpose is to provide the
developer with an opportunity to solicit informal review comments from the City prior to submitting
a formal development application. Because detailed development plans are not required, a full
analysis of the site details is not conducted as part of a sketch review.
2. Background:
The developer is requesting review of a conceptual sketch that shows the following for the 15.45
acre site:
• Four-story, general-occupancy apartment building totaling 300 units;
• Three-level, 540 space parking ramp that would both serve as a park-and-ride facility (150-200)
and provide parking spaces required for the development;
• Three-story, medical office building with roughly 65,000 square feet and 320 parking spaces both
at grade and two levels of underground parking in the east portion of the site; and
• Open space along the northern border for public use that will act as a buffer for the existing
townhomes to the north.
Dundee Nursery currently occupies the site. Access to the site is via a right-in and right-out from
west bound Highway 55 and a full access from Dunkirk Court. To the north is the Holly Creek Village
Townhomes. To the west is a 4.11 acre parcel occupied by Tri State Drilling and to the east is a 6.74
acre parcel occupied by Plymouth Presbyterian Church. Although both east and west parcels could
redevelop in the future, no plans are currently proposed for these sites.
Planning Process:
The site is currently guided C, commercial and zoned FRD, future restricted development. The
proposed plan would require a comprehensive plan amendment to mixed use residential (MXD-R),
rezoning to PUD, and an environmental assessment worksheet (EAW). Minnesota Rules governing
the Minnesota Environmental Quality Board require preparation of an EAW for projects that include 2
both residential and commercial components when the project meets or exceeds a stipulated
threshold, which this project does exceed.
The residential density specified for areas guided MXD-R is a minimum of 12 dwelling units per acre
and a maximum of 25 dwelling units per acre, based on the total site area. As a result, this 15.45-acre
site must provide between 185 and 386 dwelling units. The sketch shows 300 dwelling units
(general-occupancy apartment units) for a density of 19.42 dwelling units per acre, which falls within
the density range specified by the comprehensive plan. Less than 50 percent of the project area
would be residential. Development within the MXD-R classification must include a residential
component and contain no more than 50 percent of project area as residential.
Access:
Proposed site access would include the existing right-in/right-out access onto westbound Highway
55 and will need to gain approval from the Minnesota Department of Transportation Mn/DOT. It is
Mn/DOT’s policy to review plans and restrict or eliminate access onto Highway 55 when
redevelopment occurs.
The developer is also proposing to modify Dunkirk Court by extending it south to a right-in/right out
access onto County Road 9 (Rockford Road). Hennepin County will need to review and approve this
proposed access. Proposed modifications to Dunkirk Court will require right-of-way from the
adjacent Plymouth Presbyterian church. The developer will be required to maintain access to the
property to the west.
Traffic:
The developer would need to provide a traffic study as part of the EAW to identify any potential
impacts, including recommendations for addressing those impacts.
Parking:
The developer would need to provide a parking plan that would ensure that adequate parking is
available for the residents living on the site and their guests as well as for the park-and-ride and
medical office uses.
The developer would need to do soil borings to verify the seasonal water table to verify that the
two levels of underground parking for the medical office building is viable.
Architecture and Signage:
Through the PUD, the City would expect a high level of materials and design for the development as
well a master sign plan.
Environmental:
The proposed extension of Dunkirk Court to Rockford Road would require filling an existing wetland
located on the southerly portion of the Plymouth Presbyterian Church property. This property is in
the Bassett Creek and Minnehaha Creek Watershed Districts. Therefore, both watershed districts
will need to review and approve the plan.
3
The site is part of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) voluntary investigation and
clean-up program for hazardous waste that may be present on the site.
Park Dedication:
Park Dedication would be required, in accordance with the dedication ordinance in effect at the
time of filing for the final plat.
Public Assistance:
To date, the developer has not requested any public assistance.

Dundee Nursery Redevelopment – Project Narrative
Project Overview
Located at the northwest corner of Hwy 55 and Rockford Road, the Dundee Nursery project is a
redevelopment of the existing Dundee Nursery; the parcel is comprised of 15.45-acres. CIP’s vision for
the site is to create a vibrant and inspiring transit-oriented community where people can live, work and
play.
Similar to the multifamily developments that CIP has completed and has under construction in the Twin
Cities, the site will have a strong emphasis on natural elements highlighted in the landscaping and site
improvements. There will be an abundant amount of greenspace incorporated into the development
that will include a public park. The project is slated to include market-rate apartments, a medical office
building, retail and an integrated Park & Ride facility.
The 3-mile radius surrounding the site has a population that is projected to grow by 6.8% over the next
five years. Additionally, the renter occupied units within the City of Plymouth will be 25.72% in 2024.
These factors are creating demand for housing and transportation on this site in Plymouth.
The proposed housing and office uses will be complimentary to nearby properties and will positively
impact neighboring property values. This development will allow for a zoning use buffer between the
Hwy 55/ Rockford Road corridor and adjacent single-family homes. There will be a transition from
office/retail along Hwy 55 to residential uses and properly scaling the massing to transition to the
neighborhood.
Not only will the project include connections to the existing pedestrian network and other circulation
nodes, but the project will be a transit-oriented development (TOD) that will serve the Plymouth
Metrolink express route 774, among other future routes. The overall quality and convenience of the
mixed-use development and site improvements will be a major benefit to area residents and will create
an element of beautification at a prominent intersection with the City of Plymouth.
For the redevelopment of the Dundee Nursery site to be a success, CIP would like to utilize a public-
private partnership to ensure that the project is feasible for the developer and an asset to the City’s tax
base and growth trends.
Site Design
The project includes a 300-unit residential apartment building that wraps a shared parking facility with
540 stalls. Near the intersection of Rockford Road and Hwy 55 is a 3-story medical office building with
about 65,000 sq ft. The intent of the shared parking facility is to provide parking for the residential and
office tenants while also including stalls for a park-n-ride facility.
Along the northern border, a large park will be available for public use and will act as a nice buffer from
the existing homes to the north. The park could hold rest locations, creative stormwater management
technologies, play areas, outdoor dining and public art. These gathering spaces will provide
opportunities for residents, office workers and the nearby public to actively use the outdoor
environment.
Adding resident dwelling units at this location naturally creates a safer location, as more people will be
on-site 24 hours with eyes on the street to create an energetic, safe and people-friendly hub, in place of
the existing conditions today. Public seating and bike racks will be located throughout the site to 7
encourage walking and biking. The variety of walking spaces throughout the development will be
welcoming to provide recreational opportunities for residential and office tenants as well as the general
public. The use of landscaping throughout the site will minimize the “Urban Heat Island” effect and help
regulate the temperature of the space for onsite and offsite advantages. The project will incorporate
attractive, high-quality native landscaping, lighting and exterior signage. Exterior lighting fixtures will be
pedestrian scale and decorative.
Building Design and Character
The architectural design and massing of the proposed development carefully nestles a mixed-use
development within the existing site and is respectful to its residential neighbors in terms of height,
massing, public realm design and landscaping. As a mixed-use project, the development has a
responsibility to enhance the activity on this site, while creating a livable and engaged community
serving both residents on site and from nearby neighborhoods in the city of Plymouth.
It is important that the proposed buildings relate to one another in a cohesive manner. The building
materials, scale and articulation of elements will be contemporary in nature but work to reinforce a
sense of place. Natural materials and colors are proposed for the building exteriors, giving them a
timeless quality that is also warm and thoughtful. The architectural aesthetic will be compatible with
surrounding properties and exterior materials will meet the city of Plymouth’s zoning guidelines for this
district. The buildings will have handsome exteriors and site design that will relate to the pedestrian and
provide a warm and welcoming experience for users. Whenever possible, pedestrian-scaled features
such as canopies, trellises and outdoor seating will be incorporated into the project.
Park & Ride Facility
Within the multifamily portion of the proposed development, there will be an integrated Park & Ride
facility that will serve the Plymouth Metrolink route 774, which operates eight express trips to
Downtown Minneapolis and the University of Minnesota in the AM, as well as nine afternoon/evening
trips terminating at the Dunkirk Lane Park & Ride location. Annual ridership for this route increased
from 66,163 in 2017 to 86,513 in 2018. It is anticipated with future population growth and the lifestyle
of people becoming less dependent on cars, ridership will continue to increase. Currently, about 150 to
200 stalls are being proposed for Park & Ride use.
Project Timeline
Upon approval of the PUD, CIP is prepared to commence construction of the buildings, once
construction documents are complete and building permits are issued. It is anticipated that
construction of the site improvements will start in Spring of 2020 and be completed in 24 months during
the spring of 2023.
Site Access
Site access for both schemes will include the existing right-in/right-out access onto westbound State
Highway No. 55. There is a recorded Driveway Easement Agreement (Doc. No. 3065346) that grants the
Dundee Nursery property and the adjacent Tri-State Drilling property with shared driveway access
rights. The Tri-State Drilling property has full access at the northwest corner of their site. The project
proposes to continue to use this right-in/right-out access and will seek approval from the Minnesota
Department of Transportation.
In both schemes, access is proposed on Dunkirk Court North. These curb cuts would include internal
access roadways, as well as parking lots and underground parking ramps. The project proposes to
modify Dunkirk Court North by extending it south to a right-in/right out access onto Hennepin County 8
Road No. 9 (Rockford Road). The location of this access would be midpoint on Rockford Road, between
the intersections with State Highway No. 55 and 36th Avenue North and would not change the median or
turn lanes. There is approximately 1200 feet between these full intersections, generally meeting the
Hennepin County Access Spacing guidelines for ¼ mile spacing. Partial access will be sought from
Hennepin County for this new access that approximates 1/8 mile spacing. The Dunkirk Court North
extension will require cooperation and right-of-way from the adjacent Plymouth Presbyterian
Church. Existing wetlands on the Plymouth Presbyterian Church will be impacted and either be
mitigated on-site or mitigated elsewhere. See section of Wetlands.
Both schemes include a park-and-ride facility for Plymouth Metrolink. This would replace the current
Dunkirk Lane Park-and-Ride facility. The park-and-ride facility would provide transit parking for
Plymouth Metrolink’s Route 774, which is an express service to and from Downtown Minneapolis and
the University of Minnesota. The park-and-ride facility might also replace the County Road 9 and
Dunkirk Lane bus stop for the Plymouth Metrolink’s Route 776 express service to and from Downtown
Minneapolis. Access to the park-and-ride would circulate clockwise through the site, entering from
westbound State Highway No. 55 and exiting via Dunkirk Court North and Rockford Road back to
eastbound State Highway No. 55.
Wetlands
The proposed extension of Dunkirk Court North to Rockford Road would require filling an existing
wetland located on the southerly portion of the Plymouth Presbyterian Church property. The National
Wetlands Inventory mapping identifies this wetland as a palustrine emergent persistent wetland that is
seasonally flooded (PEM1C). Initial review of the wetland permitting process indicates it would require
a Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) approval with the City of Plymouth as the LGU, and an
Army Corps of Engineers permit. Mitigation could occur on the adjacent church property, could be
mitigated elsewhere, or could use wetland bank credits.
Stormwater Management
The site is served with a 24” storm sewer on the west side of the site that flows north to the backyards
of Holly Creek Village townhomes and west into Holly Creek Village Pond No. 4. The site is also served
with a 27” storm sewer at northeast corner of the site flows north and then east into Holly Creek Village
Pond No. 1. Research will have to be done to verify what treatment is being provided by the Holly
Creek Village stormwater management plan. There is also 12” storm sewer at southwest corner of the
site that drains the public ROW and drains into a pond and wetland at the NE quadrant of Rockford Road
and State Highway No. 55.
This project will include more than one acre of new or fully reconstructed impervious surface so the
Bassett Creek Watershed Management Commission (BCWMC) requirements for rate control, water
quality, and erosion and sediment control. The project must manage stormwater runoff such that peak
flow rates leaving the site are equal to or less than the existing rate leaving the site for the 2-, 10-, and
100-year events based on Atlas 14 precipitation amounts and using a nested 24-hour rainfall
distribution. The BCWMC requires all stormwater to be treated in accordance with the BCWMC
performance goals for new development and redevelopment. A performance goal specifies what level of
stormwater treatment must be achieved on a site. If the performance goal is not feasible and/or is not
allowed for a proposed project, then the project proposer must implement the BCWMC flexible
treatment options. It is assumed that the MIDS water quality treatment standards will be required.
Sanitary Sewer and Water Main 9
The site is served by an 8” sanitary sewer on west side of site that flows north through Holly Creek
Village townhomes to 39th Avenue North. The pipe slope is 0.43%. The capacity of this sewer system
should be verified for capacity and depth.
The site is served by an 8” water main on west side of the site that ties into water main north of the site
in the Holly Creek Village townhomes and 39th Avenue North. There is also a 12” water main on east
side of site that ties into Dunkirk Lane. One or more loops cab be constructed through the development
to provide water services and fire hydrants to meet the City of Plymouth’s coverage requirements.

Looking to expand into the Twin Cities market with an amenity-rich multi family residence
projecting a sleek yet warm, upscale yet family-friendly design, CIP in Lincoln, Nebraska,
turned to ESG. Maximizing the design possibilities on an empty lot near several lakes and
parks, ESG created The Preserve at Normandale Lake, a 179-unit apartment community
that supports an array of lifestyles with singular panache.
The striking design begins at the dramatic entrance. A cantil vered box clad in metal
panels and framed in aluminum flo ts above the front entry, while housing the residence’s
spectacular two-level penthouse units. The compressed entrance opens up inside to an airy
two-story volume with a clean, subtle materials paleĀe. A decorati e screen of white oak
demarcates one of the common room’s cozy sittin areas, which is adjacent to a stair of
white oak treads with stainless steel and glass rails along a stone veneer wall.
The stair leads to the mezzanine or second-level common space, warmed by a ceiling of
walnut veneer. A fi eplace lounge and several community amenities are located here. The
mezzanine also looks out over the project’s north terrace, which includes a pool with deck
chairs, and a grill station with eating area protected by an aluminum-framed and fabric
trellis. Further on is a quiet outdoor space with a fountain and views to the existing pond
beyond.
The Preserve’s south-facing terrace was inspired by a Zen garden concept. It includes three
seating areas sheltered by square steel-and-epay frames at once sculptural and sheltering.
The garden has stepped reflectin pools with running water reached by wide, timbe ed
steps; natural turf; and crushed granite walkways and pavers. All of the upper-level units,
whether facing the garden or other views of the site, have cantil vered balconies. First floor
apartments have private walkout entrances and patios.
The open-plan apartments feature hardwood-style floo s, quartz countertops, stainless-
steel appliances, designer backsplashes and 42-inch upper cabinets. Select units have
moveable kitchen islands. In addition to multiple gathering spaces, many with fi eplaces,
and the outdoor areas, The Preserve has a pet spa and private pet park, yoga studio, bicycle
maintenance stationand lockable bike storage, glass-walled resident conference room, and
state-of-the-art fitness ce ter

PROJECT NARRATIVE
Project Overview
Located at the northwest corner of Hwy 55 and Rockford Road, the Dundee Nursery project is a redevelopment
of the existing Dundee Nursery; the parcel is comprised of 15.45-acres. CIP’s vision for the site is to create a
vibrant and inspiring transit-oriented community where people can live, work and play.
Similar to the multi amily developments that CIP has completed and has under construction in the Twin Cities,
the site will have a strong emphasis on natural elements highlighted in the landscaping and site improvements.
There will be an abundant amount of greenspace incorporated into the development that will include a public
park. The project is slated to include market-rate apartments, a medical offic building, retail and an integrated
Park & Ride facility.
The 3-mile radius surrounding the site has a population that is projected to grow by 6.8% over the next fi e
years. Additi nally, the renter occupied units within the City of Plymouth will be 25.72% in 2024. These factors
are creating demand or housing and transportation on this si e in Plymouth.
The proposed housing and offic uses will be complimentary to nearby properties and will positi ely impact
neighboring property values. This development will allow for a zoning use buĀer between the Hwy 55/ Rockford
Road corridor and adjacent single-family homes. There will be a transition from office etail along Hwy 55 to
residential uses and p operly scaling the massing to transition o the neighborhood.
Not only will the project include connections to the existing pedestrian network and other circulation nodes,
but the project will be a transit-oriented development (TOD) that will serve the Plymouth Metrolink express
route 774, among other future routes. The overall quality and convenience of the mixed-use development and
site improvements will be a major benefit to area residents and will create an element of beautiĀ atio at a
prominent intersection with the City of Plymouth.
For the redevelopment of the Dundee Nursery site to be a success, CIP would like to utili e a public-private
partnership to ensure that the project is feasible for the developer and an asset to the City’s tax base and growth
trends.
Site Design
The project includes a 300-unit residential apartment building that wraps a shared parking facility with 540
stalls. Near the intersection of Rockford Road and Hwy 55 is a 3-story medical offic building with about 65,000
sq ft. The intent of the shared parking facility is to provide parking for the residential and offic tenants while
also including stalls for a park-n-ride facility.
Along the northern border, a large park will be available for public use and will act as a nice buĀer from the
existinghomes to the north. The park could hold rest locations,creati e stormwater management technologies,
play areas, outdoor dining and public art. These gathering spaces will provide opportunities for residents, offic
workers and the nearby public to acti ely use the outdoor environment.
Adding resident dwelling units at this location naturally creates a safer location, as more people will be on-site
24 hours with eyes on the street to create an energetic, safe and people-friendly hub, in place of the existing
conditions today. Public seating and bike racks will be located throughout the site to encourage walking and
biking. The variety of walking spaces throughout the development will be welcoming to provide recreational
opportunities for residential and offic tenants as well as the general public. The use of landscaping throughout
the site will minimize the “Urban Heat Island” eĀect and help regulate the temperature of the space for onsite
and oĀsite advantages. The project will incorporate att acti e, high-quality nati e landscaping, lighting and
exterior signage. Exterior lighting Ā tures will be pedestrian scale and decorati e.
Building Design and Character
The architectural design and massing of the proposed development carefully nestles a mixed-use development
within the existing site and is respectful to its residential neighbors in terms of height, massing, public realm
design and landscaping. As a mixed-use project, the development has a responsibility to enhance the activity
on this site, while creating a livable and engaged community serving both residents on site and from nearby
neighborhoods in the city of Plymouth.
It is important that the proposed buildings relate to one another in a cohesive manner. The building materials,
scale and articul tionof elements will be contemporary in nature but work to reinforce a sense of place. Natural
materials and colors are proposed for the building exteriors, giving them a timelessquality that is also warm and
thoughtful. The architectural aestheticwill be compatiblewith surrounding propertiesand exterior materials will
meet the city of Plymouth’s zoning guidelines for this district. The buildings will have handsome exteriors and
site design that will relate to the pedestrian and provide a warm and welcoming experience for users. Whenever
possible, pedestrian-scaled features such as canopies, trellises and outdoor seatingwill be incorporated into the
project.
Park & Ride Facility
Within the multi amily portion of the proposed development, there will be an integrated Park & Ride facility
that will serve the Plymouth Metrolink route 774, which operates eight express trips to Downtown Minneapolis
and the University of Minnesota in the AM, as well as nine aĀernoon/evening trips terminating at the Dunkirk
Lane Park & Ride location. Annual ridership for this route increased from 66,163 in 2017 to 86,513 in 2018. It is
anticip ted with future populationgrowth and the lifestyle of people becoming less dependent on cars, ridership
will continue o increase. Currently, about 150 to 200 stalls are being proposed for Park & Ride use.
Project Timeline
Upon approval of the PUD, CIP is prepared to commence construction of the buildings, once construction
documents are complete and building permits are issued. It is anticip ted that construction of the site
improvements will start in Spring of 2020 and be completed in 24 months during the spring of 2023.
Site Access
Site access will include the existing right-in/right-out access onto westbound State Highway No. 55. There is
a recorded Driveway Easement Agreement (Doc. No. 3065346) that grants the Dundee Nursery property and
the adjacent Tri-State Drilling property with shared driveway access rights. The Tri-State Drilling property has
full access at the northwest corner of their site. The project proposes to continue to use this right-in/right-out
access and will seek approval from the Minnesota Department of Transportation
Access is proposed on Dunkirk Court North. These curb cuts would include internal access roadways, as well as
parking lots and underground parking ramps. The project proposes to modify Dunkirk Court North by extending
it south to a right-in/right out access onto Hennepin County Road No. 9 (Rockford Road). The location of this
access would be midpoint on Rockford Road, between the intersections with State Highway No. 55 and 36th
Avenue North and would not change the median or turn lanes. There is approximately 1200 feet between
these full intersections, generally meeting the Hennepin County Access Spacing guidelines for ¼ mile spacing.
Partial access will be sought from Hennepin County for this new access that approximates 1/8 mile spacing.
The Dunkirk Court North extension will require cooperation and right-of-way from the adjacent Plymouth
Presbyterian Church. Existing wetlands on the Plymouth Presbyterian Church will be impacted and either be
miti ated on-site or miti ated elsewhere. See section on etlands.

Dundee Nursery Redevelopment
November 25, 2019 8
PROJECT NARRATIVE
The project includes a park-and-ride facility for Plymouth Metrolink. This would replace the current Dunkirk
Lane Park-and-Ride facility. The park-and-ride facility would provide transit parking for Plymouth Metrolink’s
Route 774, which is an express service to and from Downtown Minneapolis and the University of Minnesota.
The park-and-ride facility might also replace the County Road 9 and Dunkirk Lane bus stop for the Plymouth
Metrolink’s Route 776 express service to and from Downtown Minneapolis. Access to the park-and-ride would
circulate clockwise through the site, entering from westbound State Highway No. 55 and exiting via Dunkirk
Court North and Rockford Road back to eastbound State Highway No. 55.
Wetlands
The proposed extension of Dunkirk Court North to Rockford Road would require fillingan existingwetland located
on the southerly portion of the Plymouth Presbyterian Church property. The National Wetlands Inventory
mapping identifie this wetland as a palustrine emergent persistent wetland that is seasonally flooded (PEM1C).
Initial review of the wetland permittin process indicates it would require a Minnesota Wetland Conservation
Act (WCA) approval with the City of Plymouth as the LGU, and an Army Corps of Engineers permit. Miti ation
could occur on the adjacent church property, could be miti ated elsewhere, or could use wetland bank credits.
Stormwater Management
The site is served with a 24” storm sewer on the west side of the site that fl ws north to the backyards of Holly
Creek Village townhomes and west into Holly Creek Village Pond No. 4. The site is also served with a 27” storm
sewer at northeast corner of the site fl ws north and then east into Holly Creek Village Pond No. 1. Research will
have to be done to verify what treatment is being provided by the Holly Creek Village stormwater management
plan. There is also 12” storm sewer at southwest corner of the site that drains the public ROW and drains into a
pond and wetland at the NE quadrant of Rockford Road and State Highway No. 55.
This project will include more than one acre of new or fully reconstructed impervious surface so the BasseĀ
Creek Watershed Management Commission (BCWMC) requirements for rate control, water quality, and erosion
and sediment control. The project must manage stormwater runoff such that peak fl w rates leaving the site
are equal to or less than the existing rate leaving the site for the 2-, 10-, and 100-year events based on Atlas
14 precipitation amounts and using a nested 24-hour rainfall distribution. The BCWMC requires all stormwater
to be treated in accordance with the BCWMC performance goals for new development and redevelopment. A
performance goal specifies what level of stormwater treatment must be achieved on a site. If the performance
goal is not feasible and/or is not allowed for a proposed project, then the project proposer must implement
the BCWMC fl xible treatment options. It is assumed that the MIDS water quality treatment standards will be
required.
Sanitary Sewer and Water Main
The site is served by an 8” sanitary sewer on west side of site that fl ws north through Holly Creek Village
townhomes to 39th Avenue North. The pipe slope is 0.43%. The capacity of this sewer system should be verified
for capacity and depth.
The site is served by an 8” water main on west side of the site that ties into water main north of the site in the
Holly Creek Village townhomes and 39th Avenue North. There is also a 12” water main on east side of site
that ties into Dunkirk Lane. One or more loops cab be constructed through the development to provide water
services and fi e hydrants to meet the City of Plymouth’s coverage requirements.

Item:2020 Legislative Priorities
1. Action Requested:
Discuss 2020 Legislative Priorities for the City.
2. Background:
Each year, the Council adopts Legislative Priorities. This provides the framework as staff works
towards implementation of Council established priorities.
This is the second year that the legislative priorities include securing $15 million in State of MN
bonding funds for the Plymouth Creek Center. In anticipation of receiving funds, the project is being
designed to meet B3 standards. The B3 Guidelines are required on all projects that receive general
obligation bond funding from the State of Minnesota. While the incorporation of B3 guidelines will
result in operating efficiencies, it also increases design and construction costs. Council should
confirm that pursuing bonding funds remains a priority.
In addition, the City participates in a number of advocacy efforts in partnership with others, such as
the League of Minnesota Cities, Municipal Legislative Commission (MLC), Metro Cities, and others.
Generally, these organizations promote policies that strengthen the community and are consistent
with the Council’s priorities.
Following adoption of the legislative priorities, the City will also enter into a contract with Lockridge
Grindal Nauen for 2020 representation and advocacy. This will be the second year the City has
engaged the firm for assistance with lobbying efforts. The relationship helps to increase City's
presence at the Capitol and allows City staff to spend fewer hours at the Capitol during the session.
3. Budget Impact:
The contract with Lockridge Grindal Nauen is $38,000 for 2020 representation which is the same
amount as in 2019. This item is included in the 2020 budget.

Draft 2020 Legislative Priorities

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Plymouth functions in a multijurisdictional environment and is often subject to mandates
from the State of Minnesota, Hennepin County, the Metropolitan Council, and various watershed
districts. The city participates in the Municipal Legislative Commission, League of Minnesota Cities,
Metro Cities and Minnesota Chiefs of Police Association and generally supports their legislative
platforms. This legislative agenda is intended to advocate specifically for the community’s residents and
businesses, avoid duplication of services, and enable the city to govern itself.
I. TRANSPORTATION
To efficiently transport commuters and promote business growth, the city encourages the legislature
and Hennepin County to identify long-term funding sources with growth potential to allow for
construction and maintenance of efficient transit and highway systems. Specifically, Plymouth supports
the following:
County Road 47 Turn Back.The city supports the turn back of County Road 47, with the understanding
that the county adequately funds improvements needed to bring the road to an appropriate standard.
(Hennepin County)
County Road 9 (Rockford Road)/I-494 Interchange Project. The city supports working with MnDOT and
Hennepin County to finalize sources of funding for 2019 construction of the improvements. (Hennepin
County, State of Minnesota)
Suburban Transit.The city supports preserving suburban transit, expanding the transit taxing district,
and maintaining full MVST funding for suburban transit providers. (Metropolitan Council, State of
Minnesota)
Highway 169.The city supports improvements to Highway 169 in Plymouth. (Metropolitan Council,
State of Minnesota)
Motor Vehicle Lease Sales Tax Allocation to Hennepin County. The city advocates for eliminating the
exemption that prevents Hennepin and Ramsey counties from receiving their portion of the sales tax on
leased vehicles through the county state aid formula. This change would provide an estimated $12
million in additional funding to Hennepin County to be used on roads and bridges. (State of Minnesota,
Hennepin County, Ramsey County, Hennepin County cities, Ramsey County cities)
Hwy 55 Bus Rapid Transit.The city supports efforts to complete a Hwy 55 Mobility Study to consider
and advance bus rapid transit on Hwy 55. (Hennepin County, State of Minnesota, and the Metropolitan
Council)
II. GENERAL GOVERNMENT
Local Control.The city opposes legislation that erodes local decision making and control. The city
believes that decision making happens best at the local level. (Metropolitan Council, State of Minnesota)
Improving Public Access to Information.The city supports legislation that would enable it to meet its
official notice publication requirements on its website, rather than a designated newspaper. (State of
Minnesota)
Water Management.The city must meet water quality standards from the Minnesota Department of
Natural Resources, Board of Soil and Water Resources, Elm Creek Watershed District, Minnehaha Creek
Watershed District, Shingle Creek Watershed District, Bassett Creek Watershed District, Metropolitan
29
Draft 2020 Legislative Priorities

Council, United States Environmental Pollution Agency, Army Corps of Engineers, Minnesota
Department of Health, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, and Hennepin County. The City of Plymouth
supports process improvements aimed at streamlining applications and standards.
Metropolitan Council.The city supports reform of the Metropolitan Council’s make-up and municipal
input in this process. A majority of members should be elected officials, appointed from cities and
counties in the region. Terms of Metropolitan Council members appointed by the governor should be
staggered and not coterminous with the governor. The Metropolitan Council should represent the entire
region and voting should be structured on population and incorporate a system of checks and balances.
(Metropolitan Council, State of Minnesota)
Statutory Authority.The city supports legislation confining the Metropolitan Council to its statutory
authority. (Metropolitan Council, State of Minnesota)
Transportation Advisory Board.The city supports re-examination of the Transportation Advisory
Board’s make-up and supports municipal input in this process. (Metropolitan Council)
Raising the Minimum Age to Purchase Tobacco Products to 21.The city supports statewide legislation
to raise the minimum legal age to purchase tobacco products to 21. (State of Minnesota)
Economic Development Tools.The City supports funding of the State JCF (Job Creation Fund) and MIF
(Minnesota Investment Fund) to allow opportunities for business development, job creation and further
encourage economic development. (State of Minnesota)
Fire State Aid. The city supports statewide legislation allowing municipalities and fire relief associations
to mutually agree to an allocation of fire state aid to offset PERA contributions for full-time fire
personnel in combination departments. The city and the Plymouth Firefighters Relief Association have
such an agreement in place, pending enabling legislation. (State of Minnesota)
Presidential Primary Election in 2020.The City supports positions adopted by the League of Minnesota
Cities, with emphasis on support for allowing the presidential primary to be conducted via mail balloting
in order to reduce burden on city resources. (State of Minnesota)
III. FISCAL REFORM
The city supports fiscal reforms that foster local independence from the state.
No Expansion of Local Government Aid.The city does not support the expansion of Local Government
Aid. Any city not receiving LGA should be exempt from levy limits or restrictions on local finance. (State
of Minnesota)
Property Tax Reforms.The city supports direct individual property tax relief for all income-eligible
taxpayers in all cities through the circuit breaker program, rather than through the Local Government
Aid program. (State of Minnesota)
No Expansion of Fiscal Disparities.The City of Plymouth contributes 6.5% of its tax base to fiscal
disparities and does not support the expansion of the program as a tool to balance the region’s tax
base. The city opposes any legislation that would redirect fiscal disparity contributions to special
projects. (State of Minnesota)
Building Permit Fees. The City of Plymouth supports fees and regulations necessary for new
development to pay for itself. The City of Plymouth disagrees with the recent Housing First (BATC)
publications that state that city building fees cause housing in Plymouth to not be affordable. Based on 30
Draft 2020 Legislative Priorities
3
the City calculations, the fees charged for a new home in Plymouth, including all development and
building fees, are less than 5% of the total cost of the average new home in Plymouth.
IV. SUPPORT FOR REGIONAL ASSETS
Lodging Tax. The city supports greater flexibility in the use and application of local lodging tax authority.
Specifically, the city requests authorization to utilize a three percent lodging tax to support marketing
and promotion of the community, economic development activities and improvements to public
recreational facilities – all which benefit local hotels. In order to further retain local authority, the funds
would be administered by the City Council or Economic Development Authority. (State of Minnesota)
Plymouth Creek Center. The city supports a capital appropriation of $15 million for the Plymouth Creek
Center renovation and expansion. Combined with matching funds from the city, this appropriation will
provide a regional destination for recreational activities, special events, interactive play, and social
gatherings. The funding will meet long-term demands for local and regional opportunities while
protecting the investment and providing a greater quality of life and healthy lifestyles in years to come.
