Page 5 F Corridor Investment Management Strategy Spring 2012 Stakeholder Meetings MnDOT has established a new approach to collaborative corridor planning called the Corridor Investment Management Strategy (CIMS). CIMS is beginning with a series of regional meetings in May and June. At the CIMS meetings, MnDOT will: 1. Share information about MnDOT's existing investment plans and the implications for the corridor MnDOT will present information about system condition, performance trends, funding outlook, and MnDOT's investment priorities at the state and district levels. MnDOT will also provide maps and other material that link system -level investment considerations to programmed projects, planned investments, and anticipated investment needs on each corridor over a 10 -year period. 2. Highlight a suite of lower cost, high benefit investment strategies Given the current condition of the transportation system and present funding reality, MnDOT is increasingly using a suite of lower cost, high benefit strategies to address safety and mobility concerns. MnDOT will present these strategies and begin a dialog about their potential to address specific corridor concerns. 3. Broaden the discussion beyond MnDOT investment MnDOT will solicit your participation in a broad discussion of corridor sustainability with the intent of identifying objectives relating to the economy, environment, and quality of life. MnDOT will also ask you to help set the corridor context by providing information about the planned investments of other state agencies and local units of government, your priorities for MnDOT improvements, and the additional needs, issues and opportunities you see on the corridor. 4. Initiate a conversation around opportunities for collaborative and sustainable investment Both at the meetings and through subsequent follow-up, MnDOT will ask you for input into how corridor level objectives could be advanced through partnership projects, improved coordination across investment programs, context sensitive project designs, and innovative applications of MnDOT's suite of lower cost, high benefit strategies. Next Steps Information exchanged through the CIMS process will be considered as MnDOT identifies and prioritizes potential projects through the development of the 20 -year State Highway Investment Plan 2013-2032. CIMS identified investment opportunities on state highways will also be eligible for a competitive statewide solicitation that will be launched in 2013. Corridor Investment Management Strategy Schedule Spring 2012 Stakeholder Meetings; Page 1 of 2 Visit www.mndot.gov/cims or contact Brian McLafferty at 651-366-3747 to RSVP for a CIMS meeting near you. At each CIMS meeting, you will have the opportunity to participate in a breakout discussion for at least one corridor. When providing your RSVP, we ask that you indicate which corridor you are most interested in discussing.

Under the plan, Dominium would remove the existing house and construct 33 affordable, rental townhouses. Hennepin County records indicate your property is located within 750 feet of the site of this proposal. You are hereby notified of, and cordially invited to attend a public meeting to be held by the Plymouth Planning Commission at 7:00 p.m., on Wednesday, May 2, 2012, in the Council Chambers at Plymouth City Hall, 3400 Plymouth Boulevard. The public will be invited to offer questions and comments concerning this application at that time, or feel free to call the city planning department at (763) 509-5450 for more information.

I understand that this letter is in response to the Council's request for support of legislative approval of regional transit capital (RTC) bonding authority. We at the Council have deep concerns over the tone and content of your letter. It includes significant inaccuracies in its representation of how RTC bond funds, federal NTD funds and regionally allocated MVST funds are distributed. Moreover, the letter places conditions for support of this proposal that rely upon this misinformation. My greatest concern is that your letter and a similar letter from Mayor Tabke of Shakopee have placed the region's request for RTC bonding authority at even greater risk. Without this authority there will be delays in projects and fleet replacement as well as increases to the administrative burdens of all regional providers. The placement of conditions on the support for regional transit bonding authority is a negotiation against the City of Prior Lake's self interest and all the other providers and transit services in the region. Rather, this should be approached as an urgent matter of shared interest. As such, we should immediately resolve the misunderstandings. I suggest we meet at your earliest convenience to review how RTC bonding authority, federal NTD earnings and MVST are applied across the region and to the benefit of all regional providers including Prior Lake.

As the Task Force works to create a model and process for CLEO Certification, your articulate presentation will help define the skills and traits necessary for chiefs and sheriffs to be successful in managing law enforcement agencies into the future.

We achieve our mission through regulation, capital projects, education, cooperative endeavors, and other programs based on sound science, innovative thinking, an informed and engaged constituency, and the cost effective use of public 'funds, QUALITY OF WATER April 13, 2012 Ms. Laurie Ahrens City of Plymouth 3400 Plymouth Blvd Plymouth, MN 55447 Dear Laurie, WATERSHED DISTRICT QUALITY OF LIFE . VED APR 16 2W I'd like to take this opportunity to introduce myself as the new Director of the Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) Program with the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District. It is a bit of a change from my long career in city management, and it's great to remain in public service and in a field the environment — that has been an interest of mine for decades. It also feels good to be back in an office in the Lake Minnetonka area since my departure from Shorewood four years ago. AIS include many plants and animals we've known for several years: common carp, loosestrife, curly -leaf pondweed, and flowering rush. Recent additions that have greatly raised public awareness are Eurasian water milfoil and zebra mussels. And there are some on the horizon: spiny -back water flea and rusty crayfish, and ones that would have even larger impacts — hydrilla (worse than Eurasian water milfoil), and quagga mussels (worse than zebra mussels). Asian and silver carp will face a natural barrier Minnehaha Falls --- that should keep them out of the District, but all it takes are a few in dumped bait buckets or fiy in bilge water to move from the rivers to our lakes and streams. Once AIS appear, it's virtually impossible to eradicate them, responses are to control and manage their spread. Public education and awareness, combined with physical intervention if necessary, have the greatest promise to be effective in preventing the spread of new and potential invasive species. New AIS Plan: Last year, all of the cities and other organizations in the District were asked the District should take a broader role to address AIS. They expressed their strong support for the District as the local government to take the leading role in AIS. The Board of Managers then authorized this new function within the District and authorized two positions (both of which have been filled within the last six weeks). We will continue with the many activities and applied science pilot projects already underway. And, most important for at least my work, will be the broad- based development of a new AIS Management chapter for the District's Comprehensive Plan. This endeavor will be started within the next month or two. 18202 Minnetonka Boulevard, Deephaven, MN 55391 • Office: (952) 471-0590 * Fax: (952) 471-0682 • www mine l -ha �eek.org AIS Programs and Partnerships April 13, 2012 Page 2 Partnerships: Few of us have the resources or capacity alone to do AIS management. Collaboration and sharing resources will allow us to combine our areas of expertise, knowledge of our communities, and funds to undertake activities to manage the spread of AIS. AIS Inspections/Water Access Management: One initiative of the District this year is participation on inspections of watercraft at public accesses, and preventing those that have AIS on them from using those accesses. The MCWD is providing cost -share assistance to the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District (LMCD) and to Carver County for inspectors to be at accesses on Lake Minnetonka and Lake Minnewashta, respectively, The District is also contracting for inspectors at Christmas Lake, and is participating in the cost for these services to the City of Shorewood. If you have a public water access in your community and would like to participate in our cost -share program for AIS inspections, or wish to expand your existing inspection program. please contact us at 952.471.0590. District staff will also be doing outreach to lake associations and informing them what they can do to prevent the introduction of AIS. We will let them know how they may be trained by the DNR as "voluntary inspectors". If you know of lake associations that may be interested, please contact Eric Fieldseth at 952.471.7873 (direct), or efieldseth minnehahacreek.or Public Information and Education: The District has infonriation that it can send to your offices. Our staff can make presentations to your staff, councils, and residents. Please let us know if we can help you in any way with public education. Please contact Telly Mamayek at 952.641.5408 (direct), or tmamayekOrr�,,minnehahacreek.org, for further information. Other Activities and Ideas: If you have other ideas or suggestions of activities to consider, we want to hear from you. The MCWD is a resource for you and your community; and we want to use our knowledge and resources effectively with you. The mild winter and early ice -out this year, and the notoriety of zebra mussels over the past two years, has added urgency to the need for an aggressive response to control the spread of AIS. Please tape time to think of the opportunities in your community, and feel free to talk with us about them. I can be reached at 952.471.8306 (direct) and cdawson c minnehahacreek.ora.

Vote. 7 Ayes. MOTION approved. 6. PUBLIC HEARINGS Page 21 Approved Planning Commission Minutes April 4, 2012 Page 2 7. NEW BUSINESS A. CARLSON REAL ESTATE (2012009) Commissioner Anderson stated that the variance would allow the side yard setback at about 25 feet rather than 75 feet and that's a big change. He asked to view the site plan to see if there would be berming with the trees and what the view would be like there. Senior Planner Drill presented the site plan. He stated there is existing berming along the north lot line. He said there is single-family development to the north and the north elevation is roughly six feet higher than the elevation of the parking lot. He said the garage would be built at the parking lot level, over current parking spaces. He said that in addition to the elevation change, there are a number of existing trees in that area for screening and the applicant would be planting four new conifers in that area to help screen that area off so that the garage would hardly be noticeable from the residential area to the north. Commissioner Nelson asked if staff had received any feedback from residents. Senior Planner Drill responded that staff had been contacted by some of the neighbors. He said after they reviewed the plans, they indicated they had no concerns. Chair Davis introduced Lan Cao, 14607 Gleason Lake Drive. Ms. Cao stated that last year, the applicant cleaned up some damaged trees very close to her backyard. She said that in that process, they removed lilacs her mother planted along the edge of the property. She said the manager in charge of landscaping for Carlson Company told her they would replace the lilacs, but they never came back. She said that for this application, she wants to make sure they do what they said they will do. Chair Davis stated that the applicant is committed to planting four new trees as part of this application. Commissioner Anderson asked how many lilacs were removed. Ms. Cao stated about six or seven. Commissioner Anderson asked the size of the lilacs. Ms. Cao stated that the lilacs were about one to two years old and that they have since been replaced by her mother. Senior Planner Drill confirmed for Chair Davis that the applicant will be required to plant the four new trees as shown on the site plan. Chair Davis stated that the Planning Commission would not be able to assist Ms. Cao with the lilacs but the Planning Commission can ensure that the site plan proposed at this time is followed. Senior Planner Drill added that there would be a site performance agreement with this application and the developer would have to post money for the trees prior to obtaining a building permit for the garage. He said that if the applicant does not install the four trees, the city would have the funds to make sure the work gets completed.

ADJOURNMENT MOTION by Chair Davis, with no objection, to adjourn the meeting at 7:16 p.m. Page 23 West Metro Lakes Alliance Meeting with Officials February 8 2012, 7:00 p.m. Meeting called to order at 7:10 Welcome and Introductions Lakes Represented: Cedar Island, Fish Lake, Eagle and Pike Lake, Gleason Lake, Lake Independence, Medicine Lake, Rice Lake, Lake Sarah, Mooney Lake Aquatic Invasive Species - A threat to the land of 10, 000 Lakes —Dave Haas Aquatic Invasive Species are a threat to soul of our state! We hear to much talk on Viking Stadium. We want to hear more about stopping the threat of Invasive Species, Goal tonight is to get more people talking about AIS. The goal of tonight's meeting is to layout a plan or proposal for: - More dramatic and faster movement to contain infested lakes — need to talk about that and leave here with the goal to talk to legislators about that and more funding - We need total shield against infected lakes, against zebra mussels! Uninspected watercraft cannot be allowed into our lakes. State and local reps must help — it makes senses, the economics will show it is a good idea! - We need to accomplish for the 2012 boating season. What is the Ecological impact of zebra mussels or Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS)? AIS are invaders to our lake, they come in take over dominate the natives and take over, damaging the food cycles, limiting biodiversity and the entire food chain. From top to bottom, Musky, Pike, Walleye all are affected! A report to state Legislation last year, estimate tourism and recreation industry will be impacted about 13 billion dollars. - Swimming, boating, fishing will all be impacted - Most of our water comes from ground water but many companies use surface - Reduction of property values is the elephant in the room! Study 2007 at the University of Wisconsin found that the invasion of Eurasian water milfoil caused property values to drop about 13 percent. - Impact on state and local government. ZEBRA MUSSELS will impact o maintenance on infrastructure, o maintenance at parks o Maintenance on docks. lifts, swim equipment, recreational beaches and parks will be impacted. Prior and Minnetonka report twice as much effort on an annual basis. From 2004-2011, Plymouth has already spent a half million on actions to control Curly Leaf Pond Weed! Page 24 - Individual families, homeowners can expect another $400 to $1,000 in expenses per year. Every boat will require additional costs for cleaning to be sure engines are free from zebra mussels. The State has the responsibility to protect our national resources, lakes from AIS. Legislators must pass laws for bigger penalties for enforcements and litigation. Legislators depend on DNR but the DNR does not have the budget for 10,000 lakes. DNR must find way to be efficient and effective Local government must takes responsibility for doing things to handle issues for state government. The need to pass laws, raise funding through taxes, resources are not available in other places. This issue belongs to all of us and we must be involved for resolutions. Citizen and communities, lake associations, alliance, fishing club, all are lobbying and raising funds and we all want better lakes. We must get together and work together. Citizens must be 1. Knowledgeable and understand issues 2. Take action to do the right thing 3. Must talk to their leaders about what is important to you! Are you interested in building a stadium or saving our lakes? Different perspectives for solutions 1. Strategic look out 5-20 years — strategy for AQUATIC INVASIVE SPECIES as a whole 2. More urgent look — what will we do this year to stop AQUATIC INVASIVE SPECIES Approaches 1. Containment — cage lakes infected so not to infest other lakes — need it around 60 to protect the 10,000. 2. All watercraft and all ramps inspected in and out. 3. Road stops on boats in transit. Dave stated he has no confidence in plan from state and resources given to DNR to accomplish containment. They have funded 20 mobile decontamination units for 60 lakes with multiple access points. The numbers do not work. Shielding— 1-10,000 All of us lake owners want to protect their lakes and need to gather resources to help protect our lakes. This is what the West Alliance is all about! We need protected access! One boat, onetime, can infest and entire lake. Ramps protected 12 hours are not protected the other 12 hours. Not good enough! Need gates —boats cannot go on lakes without inspection. People on lakes are highly motivated. Page 25 Dave illustrated the use of a lake access control gate. To implement: - Requires gate - gate maintenance - personnel for inspection — 12 hours per day form 04 — 11115 @ $12 per hour - COST $33,000 per gate, per lake. Dave acknowledged the DNR, City of Plymouth, Three Rivers and the Watershed District are trying to help but don't have resources. Tax revenue losses due to infestation is a real threat to local area. Need gates while containment is determined. Let's keep the land of 10, 000 lakes to pass them on to the next generation. Terrie Christian opened meeting for discussion: Terrie commented that in the past Three Rivers covered 80 percent of time and asked for volunteers. - Medicine did not provide a volunteer program as it does not work o Volunteers do not have the authority to act on non-compliance situations o Volunteers are often unreliable - Often Lake home owners are asked to step up o `It's like — you live on 169 and it's snowing and you are expected to volunteer to go out and shovel the road so the public can use the road! 0 Is not effective and does not work! John Barton of Three Rivers began by stating that the Three Rivers Park Board is committed to limit Aquatic Invasive Species. They do inspect where gates are existing. Cost benefit — there is a gate at most — open 17 hours per day. - There are about 25,000 hours from fishing open to end Sept. - After 9 pm over 5 year show no one is launching. - If you exclude that hour (without inspectors) we have about 24,000 with open launches and are inspecting about 18,000. - Short 600 hours. - In a volunteer situation that would be approximately 200 houses on that equals 3 hours per household for 100 percent coverage. This is the direction they are going. Fish lake numbers are higher. Three Rivers thinks this is doable. Ninety-two percent inspected 30 percent increase in cost. Page 26 Tom Gallagher recommended shorten hours —Parks open from 5-10. It is the one boat without an inspector is the concern. Anglers frequently coming early during the dark. We must stop any access at any time. It is a question of priority, Lake Minnewashta has 100 percent boat inspection. They hire someone to cover other hours. A doctor at the meeting stated that to stop infection in surgical suite access is limited. . We have to shut down and limit access and gates need to be manned every time a boat is inspected. We believe in paid staff — no surgical suite would have volunteers! We need a plan with people having DNR training with authority. If boaters do not agree they cannot launch. Need people who have decided to do that kind of work and can enforce it. John guesses that last year for 26,000 boat inspected about 190 boats were able to enter the lake without inspection. Group comment .... It Only takes one. Luke Skinner, AIS Specialist for DNR stated that the Sate of Minnesota has some of the strongest laws for protection with the Bilge drain open and invasive transport requirements. We need compliance through education, to ramp up for greater compliance. Luke inferred the cost of gating is prohibitive. For example, Lake Mille Lac has 48 access sites of which 12 are public. — Controlled access would cost millions of dollars. We have proposed legislation to have stations in place. Challenge is freedoms of actions — but there is a social challenge and at what cost. We support control but cost is tremendous - even at a local level. DNR wants to find a solution and work with us but need to determine next steps. No cheap way to do it. Kevin Christian challenged these costs to the potential billion + value the lakes bring to the state. . Legislators' proposals — did you use loss vs. cost? Need economic impact studies. What is the likelihood without Boat inspection process? Is that the most likely scenario? Zebra mussels are primarily spread by recreational boaters and recreational equipment. Water inside boats outside boats/equipment or on vegetation. People are the main culprits. Some recommendations are not 100 percent. For example, the draining of bilge allows water to retain some residue in the boat. Is this something to introduce copper sulfate in the bilge? Live wells do not drain completely. Looking for different solutions. HOT water will kill them. Luke continued -The Zebra Mussel cycle was explained. At 58 degrees they can reproduce. The risk for spread is low in April and May and then again starting in September. Adults can be a risk. Winter zm risk is zero. Page 27 Everyone seems to agree that education is very important — we have a mass media campaign — schools, bill boards, switching to social media. AQUATIC INVASIVE SPECIES documentary. Legacy $ will AQUATIC INVASIVE SPECIES get any — legislator do this. Need to hear from the public talking to legislator. DNR needs long term funding. Legacy Funding may be available to assist with these efforts if it is recognized that Zebra Mussels/AIS impact water quality. Dave Haas — one goal here is to set in motion some discussions with the entire audience with big stakes in the game. How do you see cities fitting into these overall solutions? Other governments will be strongly effected — what are the cities willing and capable of doing to resolve. Is it worth the money spent to shield a lake? Mark Lindman, Engineering Dept — Maple Grove Fish Lake sometimes get back flow from Rice Lake — can control but beyond that what else can city do. Cannot answer questions. Ginny Black — Plymouth City Council — discussed issues with Terrie for many years. We have a surface water mgmt fee established for water quality purposes. Anything else is property tax. Raising revenue there is very sensitive. Bottom line is funding. Cannot always go there for funding. Tough budget for the next several years. Now that water quality and zebra mussels impact are being evaluated what about the City Council? The City of Plymouth will rely on the input of their trusted sources and the science involved. Who will be responsible to pay for zebra mussel cleanup? Million dollar question! Luke (DNR) impact to economy and recreation? Impact can vary — resorts are concerned economy and recreation. The question was asked, what is the statue or law regarding public access to lakes? Everyone has access to lakes and 97A141 2011 Sarah Anderson agrees with Ginny — problem with funding — raising property taxes — people are losing property — tax revenues are down. Other Notes of Interest: - Dock Service Providers are being trained all over the state about the proper procedure when they move from lake to lake installing docks and lifts. There are many non registered dock service providers and we need to help identify them and require they are trained before we hire them to work at our properties. - Medicine Lake distributed flyers to inform home owners that the dock movement is the second largest problem to zebra mussels. Need to query and ask about training. It is the law now they must be trained and certified. - What is the same disposal of zebra mussels scraped from boats and docks? Page 28 Diane Hulke reported that in Wisconsin the state has a program to license docks and lifts. This is a way of raising funds as well as require accountability for transfer of AIS. In conclusion — Dave is goal oriented and wants to finish but we all need to, as lake associations, are involved in these decisions. Need to get out to bring together those unit. Whoever control launch seems to control / be responsible for what happens. Cost will be to everyone. Terrie Christian closed by thanking all for coming we all want to get to the same place and have different perspectives. We need to continue this discussion — concern for all lakes. These actions will help prevent the AIS of the future. Meeting concluded at 9:00 pm. Page 29
