MEMORANDUM
TO:Dave Callister and Maria Solano
FROM: Chad Weinstein
DATE: March 8, 2023
RE:Strategic Workshop Follow-Up
This memorandum is respectfully submitted as an interim document to enable elected officials to
prepare for the upcoming March study session. It documents shared commitments among elected
officials and between council and staff, followed by discussion of the four strategic themes developed in
the retreat on January 21, 2023. It also reflects input from a subsequent staff working session.
Shared Commitments
Staff and the elected officials who were present separated into two conversations, each about the
shared commitments that would help each element of the city’s leadership (elected officials and staff)
work together and in concert with the other most effectively. Following are the shared principles
generated by elected officials, and a shared set of commitments to guide council-staff interaction that
was developed based on input from both groups.
Elected Officials
Trust among elected officials is critical for us to have good conversations about issues.
Listen fully to one another.
Demonstrate respect for one another, especially when we disagree.
Assume positive intent in our colleagues and in staff.
In council chambers, our goals include good discussion that is accessible to the public.
o Speakers will be recognized by the mayor.
o Seek recognition on topics, and all will be heard.
o Mayor will give council members an opportunity for final comments on a topic.
o Ask questions for understanding.
o Do not engage in “side conversations.” Bring those comments or questions to the main
conversation.
We place a high value on taking timely action, based on thoughtful deliberation.
As leaders, we build confidence over time. Everyone can and should participate in discussions.
We must also share information and learn with one another.
Be mindful of open meeting law at all times.
These principles will only be effective if all council members and the mayor agree to be guided by them,
and if they are willing to uphold these standards, including respectfully reminding colleagues of them
when necessary.

Interim Strategy Memorandum
March 8, 2023 Page 2
Council/Staff Interaction
We are committed to teamwork, mutual respect, and shared success.
o Council and staff are on the same team with the goal of shared success for the
community.
o Council will be respectful of staff and help staff to be successful.
o Staff will be respectful of council and help council to be successful.
o Whenever possible, council will advise staff in advance of questions to be asked in
meetings. Don’t assume that they are ready for a question.
o We must all be open to feedback to improve ideas and make good policy decisions.
o Praise in public; be mindful of public challenges or criticism of ideas. Do not criticize
people in public.
Council depends on staff for sound information and recommendations.
o Staff should provide as much background as reasonable to support sound decision-
making.
o Recommendations should be well-supported, and alternatives or other views should
also be represented.
o Council needs even-handed information along with any recommendations.
Council provides governance and sets policy; staff provides management and executes.
o Council recognizes that staff members are professionals and experts who work hard to
do thorough work.
o Staff recognizes that council represents the people of Plymouth and governs the city.
o Council is responsible for high-level oversight of operations.
o Staff seeks clear direction from council on values, priorities, and relevant parameters to
guide execution.
Council acts as a body.
o Staff can answer individual council members’ questions, and council members are asked
to be judicious in making time-consuming requests.
o Council members should not direct staff individually.
Council and staff work together to inform and serve the public.
o Council members can work directly with directors and copy the city manager.
o Make sure emails are addressed to the right groups.
o Council members are asked not to jump to conclusions based on public input. Stay calm,
get the facts from staff leaders.
Staff will make every effort to inform elected officials of events in the city that may lead to public
comments.

Strategic Themes
Staff and elected officials worked together in the afternoon of the retreat to identify and begin to
discuss strategic themes to guide work beyond day-to-day operations in the next one to two years, and
perhaps beyond. The process began with a review of input gathered from individual interviews with all
elected officials and a working session with senior staff. Participants then used storyboarding cards to
generate strategic actions and topics. From this collection, four themes emerged, each of which could
be considered a strategic direction.
The four themes are:
City Center 2.0
Redevelopment Vision
Environmental Stewardship
City of Choice
Each of these is described in more detail below.
City Center 2.0
This is more than a large development project. Reimagining a city center that contributes to the vitality
and quality of life in Plymouth is just a first step, to be followed by an extensive process of identifying
partners for the aspects of that vision and making the necessary investments and policies. The result will
be a transformation of key spaces in Plymouth into places that support commerce, art, recreation, and
inclusive community vitality. Following is a summary of guidance provided by the small group that
worked on this theme in the retreat.
Have a concept plan to review at a future study session.
Go through a visioning exercise– think big, consider what density means, how to incentivize
development, consider residential density on corner of city lots to fund project.
Need density for restaurants and activity, which requires more parking. Look at State bonding
bills for infrastructure.
Consider comprehensive plan amendment and code changes.
Redevelopment Vision
While the two are related, this theme is intended to be much broader than the City Center 2.0. One
objective of this theme is to consider how Plymouth can articulate its vision for long-range
redevelopment, and establish clear expectations for development partners. This vision can also
contribute to the city’s capacity to learn from projects to drive continuous improvement. Retreat
participants offered the following guidance. They also noted that the city must balance flexibility with
consistency of vision.
Consider potential impacts to other systems – transportation, parks, pedestrian, public safety,
etc.

Interim Strategy Memorandum
March 8, 2023 Page 4
City incentives – TIF, other tools, determine comfort level of council on incentives.
City role in development (example of expense of purchasing Four Seasons Mall).
How do we get out in front of future projects? Using Prudential as example; lessons learned
from that process to apply going forward.
Think about public spaces as we review projects, including green space.
City fees – park dedication fee is one of the highest.
Transit drives redevelopment.
Environment
The city’s environmental impact and commitment to stewardship are very broad topics that merit
further definition. The small group working on this theme considered that documenting the work that is
already completed and underway will be an important first step, along with defining the appropriate
role(s) of the city in practicing and promoting environmental stewardship.
1. A future study session should provide background on what we are already doing.
2. The inventory of what we are doing should be the start of benchmarking.
3. Council alignment discussions will be necessary to address the directions, actions, and costs.
4. Identify code/policy provisions which restrict sustainability.
5. Propose policies that proactively support sound environmental stewardship.
6. Environmental impact must feed into communication, cost, planning, priority, etc.
City of Choice
Plymouth must build on its strengths through strategic investments and a sustained commitment to
equity and inclusion in order to be an employer of choice as well as a city of choice for residents,
businesses, organizations, and events. All stakeholders will be served by the city’s ability to recruit and
retain the best staff and by other measures that will assure that all are welcome, supported, and
engaged in Plymouth’s continued success.
Ensure equitable and competitive pay and benefits.
Develop culture of inclusion and belonging, valuing all individuals for their unique contributions
and backgrounds.
Survey and engage staff.
Support career development opportunities.
Prioritize holistic wellbeing of staff.
Inventory community outreach/engagement efforts and evaluate and make changes to meet
council expectations.
Staff should consider and communicate equity impact of city policies.
Consider a wide variety of external voices when making decisions.
Develop capacity of staff at all levels to deliver inclusive and equitable service to customers.

Conclusion: Next Steps
Ethical Leaders in Action will invite council members to review this document with me in a Zoom or
telephone conversation prior to the upcoming council study session.
Our goals for the study session will be for council to adopt the two sets of shared commitments, and to
agree to the strategicthemes, with any additional input they may have. This will allow staff to propose
effective plans for pursuing each of these themes.

Number:2.2
To:Dave Callister, City Manager
Prepared by:Chloe McGuire, Planning and Development Manager
Reviewed by:Grant Fernelius, Community and Economic Development
Director
Item:Receive update on Prudential project at 13001 Bass Lake Road
(Co Rd 10)
1. Action Requested:
Provide the Applicant feedback on the revised plans. The Applicant is seeking feedback on:
- Overall uses and the general site layout
- Specific uses onsite (e.g. drive-thrus)
- Any high-level changes that the Council would like to see before developing preliminary plat plans
- If the Applicant should move forward with preliminary plat, PUD, and reguiding, and associated
applications
Based on the feedback provided at this meeting, the Applicant may move into Preliminary Plat plan
development, which is costly and ties the Applicant to a specific site plan.
2. Background:
Purpose of this Meeting:
The Applicant has brought forward a revised concept plan based on the feedback from City Council,
staff, and the Confluence plan. The Applicant would like direction on moving forward with this plan
into the preliminary plat stage of development. The next stage of development is costly and
involves significant engineering and surveying work.
Attached is a revised plan and narrative from the Applicant (Applicant Materials), renderings of the
site from key perspectives (Site Renderings) and the presentation for the Council meeting. Since the
City Council has limited time to provide feedback at this meeting, staff and the Applicant have
attempted to provide all background information up front. Any clarifying or background questions
can be sent to staff in advance of the meeting.
History to Date:
Roers and Scannell purchased the property located at 13001 Bass Lake Rd and have been working
with the city on finalizing a sketch plan/concept for the almost 80-acre parcel since May 2022.
On May 10, 2022, the City Council and Planning Commission saw a conceptual sketch plan for the
former Prudential site, 13001 County Road 10. The site is highly visible, contains 75 acres, and abuts
Bass Lake Road, I-494, Northwest Boulevard, and Chankahda Trail. The Council and Commission
directed the developer to work toward a high-quality mixed-use development that includes
multi-family residential, commercial, office space and open space. It was also noted that the
8
pond/wetland complex central to the site should be a priority through site design, and the Council
expressed interest in a pedestrian-friendly site. The 2040 Comprehensive Plan shows this site as
Park Service Area 2, which presently does not contain any parks. With reguiding and redevelopment
of the site, a park should be provided to serve residents in the area.
On September 27, 2022, the City Council and Planning Commission reviewed a revised concept plan
that removed the warehousing use from the site. The Council and Commission concurred that
warehousing or industrial-space was not a good fit for the site. The Council and Commission
directed the developer to continue working with staff. Since that meeting, the developer and staff
have met on a weekly or bi-weekly basis to discuss site planning and required environmental
reviews. Staff has been working with the developer on solidifying a concept that meets the needs of
the city.
To better understand the topography and opportunities of the public spaces on the site, the city
hired Confluence (https://www.thinkconfluence.com/) to help develop additional site plan
concepts. The goal of this process is to partner with the developer and provide clear direction
regarding the park size, location, layout and pedestrian realm. The Applicant and city staff have
been working on revisions to the sketch plan to better align with the City Council and Confluence
feedback.
Level of Discretion:
If this project moves forward, it will require a rezoning, reguiding in the comprehensive plan
(amendment to the comprehensive plan), and an associated plat, planned unit development (PUD),
and associated applications. The City Council has the highest level of discretion for applications
regarding comprehensive plan amendments and rezonings. The City Council can choose whether to
approve or deny these applications based on the site context, project, and needs of the city. The
Council should provide any specific feedback or concerns on those applications during this meeting,
if possible.
The current application (sketch plan application) does not indicate formal approval or denial of a
project, but instead provides the city the opportunity to weigh in on a project before significant
investment from a developer.

CONTEXT
• The site is located along the northern boundary
between the City of Plymouth and Maple Grove. It
sits between two large nearby commercial centers,
Arbor Lakes area to the north and the Hwy 55
corridor to the south. These two areas draw a
large amount of retail activity in the northwest
metro area.

CONTEXT
• Located at the southeast intersection of I-494 and
Bass Lake Rd, the site represents a significant
area of developable land relative to the other
three corners of the intersection. Small strip retail
centers are found on the north side of Bass Lake
Rd, while two gas stations stand opposite of I-494
on the Plymouth side of the boundary.
• The general established pattern here shows retail
concentrated along Bass Lake Rd, commercial
and light industrial along the 494 corridor, and
multifamily housing transitioning these areas to
lower density single family homes.

located at the center of the site, but
currently are largely unnoticed and
unaccessable to the community.
SITE ACCESS
the site benefits from good overall

DIAGRAMS CONCEPT
one of the development’s primary
goals is to preserve the extensive
natural amenities on site to the
extent possible by building around
these features, and to invite the
community to visit and interact here
in a way they have previously not
been able to do at this location.
RESIDENTIAL
two residential areas are positioned
around the central waterfront area
on site, with each individual building
having a direct physical and visual
connection to the green area.

UPDATES
1) Elimination of the warehouse use along the
west side of the site, along with the large truck
doc requirements that ran along nearly the entire
western edge of the site previously
2) In its place, a business park district that
contains an office or medical office building
and a business campus type building that
could accommodate medtech, laboratory, light
manufacturing/production, and office as primary
uses. These uses will elevate the face of the site and
greatly reduce truck traffic into the site
3) Realignment of the north / south roadway to
improve circulation through the site. The path now
better responds to the topography of the site and
follows a more simplified and clearer connection
from Chankahda Trail up to Bass Lake Rd.
4) The proposed public park has been further
developed to includer greater connectivity to the
surrounding users, as well as opening up to more
easily accommodate visitor to come and use the
newly accessible greenspace

SITE PLAN
• the site preserves the extensive green space
located throughout the site, and allows the
community to visit and interact here with the
various mix of uses
• tremendous value is created by offering this
connection to nature to serve the users, visitors,
and residents of the development
• to capitalize on this unique asset, green corridors
are established to increase access into the heart
of the site, while giving nature the ability to reach
outward and interact with the various program
elements throughout
• commercial buildings overlook the pastoral ponds,
residential units look outward onto quiet natural
spaces, and the existing walking path network
extends out to link buildings with users, giving a
high degree of connectivity to all the various users
on site
• a public roadway winds its way through the site
from the north and south, connecting Bass Lake
Rd to Chankahda and providing new access to the
site for the community

CENTRAL GREEN
Located in the center of the site, a large pond
surrounded by trees and walking path can be found.
However, this natural area has been off limits to
the public as it was privately held by the previous
owner of the site. One of the driving goals of this
development is to open up access to this green space
and allow the community to enjoy this previously
undiscovered garden.
Existing walking paths will be enhanced and
expanded in order to connect all the adjacent
buildings and surrounding community. Small park
structure and recreational areas can be added and
scattered throughout the grounds. A public parking
area could be added off the proposed north-south
road to provide visitors an easily accessible point of
entry into this nearly 10 acre area.

BUSINESS PARK
The business park is placed along the western edge
to avoid and preserve the difficult topography and
natural wetlands to the east, while taking advanatge
of the flat topography along the west. This
arrangement allows for the office component to face
outward, with good views from Chankahda Trail and
494.
Site access is off of Chankahda Trail, but also had a
secondary connection through the retail to the north.
