8.1) Bids City Center Entrance Sign Project (5120)
Community Development Director Hurlburt reported on the City Attorney's recommendation to
reject the bids for the City Center entrance sign project. She stated this item was discussed at the
March 28 Council Meeting. The item was tabled at that meeting in order that staff could provide
additional detail on the costs for and possibility of awarding the contract for construction of one
sign — the sign adjacent to Ruby Tuesday. Staff contacted the bidder and learned that they could
construct the single sign for $94,021, and with a contingency of 25%, it would result in a total
project cost of approximately $117,500. However, the City Attorney advised staff that
constructing the single sign would require rebidding the project. Given noticing requirements,
the earliest staff could bring a new bid to the Council would be May 23, which would leave five

weeks of construction of the sign before the July 1 deadline for the easement.
Motion was made by Councilmember Hewitt, and seconded by Councilmember Black, to reject
the bids direct staff to request an extension to the easement, and review if there is a gap in
f indin .
Councilmember Stein asked if community improvement funds could be used to fund the signs.
City Manager Ahrens replied currently there is $6.9 million in that fund and looking at proposed
projects in the next five years, there would be approximately $5.5 million in that fund. She
stated historically, staff tries to keep $5 million in the fund in order that legal requirements and
practical intent would be met. This would be the Council's decision on whether this would be an
adequate use of City funds.
Councilmember Stein asked what would prevent the City from negotiating with the low bidder
prior to the contract being signed. City Attorney Knutson replied once you advertise and receive
the bids, the scope of the project can't change. He stated both signs were bid as a package, and
there were no listed alternates.
Councilmember Stein voiced his concern that if the bids are rejected, it might be difficult to
receive an extension on the easement.
A Substitute Motion was made by Councilmember Stein, and seconded by Councilmember
Black to use community improvement funds to provide the gap in fundingthehe sign project.
Councilmember Hewitt stated that she would support the motion as the costs over the past two
years have increased. She stated these signs would definitely identify the City Center area.
Councilmember Willis stated he wouldn't support the motion, as $300,000 for two signs seems
to be a very high price to identify this area.
Councilmember Slavik agreed with Councilmember Willis.
Councilmember Black stated acquiring more open space is a better value than purchasing signs.
However, she could support one sign at Vicksburg Lane and Highway 55.
The Council voted on the substitute motion and with Hewitt and Stein voting yes, and Willis,
Slavik, Stein, and Johnson voting no, the motion failed.
The Council voted on the main motion and with all members voting in favor, the motion carried.
8.2) Set Future Study Sessions
Motion was made by Councilmember Willis, and seconded by Councilmember Slavik, to switch
the agendas for the June 13 and June 27 Special Meetings. With all members voting in favor, the
motion carried.

2006 Board of Appeal and Equalization
April 11, 2006
The meeting of the Plymouth City Council sitting as the 2006 Board of Appeal and Equalization
was called to order by Mayor Johnson at 5:35 p.m. in the City Council Chambers, 3400
Plymouth Boulevard, on April 11, 2006.
COUNCIL PRESENT: Mayor Johnson, Councilmembers, Stein, Slavik, Willis, Hewitt, and
Black.
COUNCIL ABSENT: Councilmember Bildsoe.
STAFF PRESENT: City Manager Ahrens, City Assessor Bye, Senior Appraiser Olsson,
Commercial Appraiser Hebert, Appraisers Kingsbury, Bowman, and VanderLinden, Assessment
Technician Schulman, Public Works Director Cote, Community Development Director Hurlburt,
and City Clerk Paulson.
City Assessor Bye reported that the total market value of residential properties in the City
increased 8.65%, of which approximately $135,341,500 was attributed to new construction.
Total value of the. City was approximately $9,443,307,700. She noted that the average price of
existing homes in the City is $367,900.
Sheryl Tichy, 12270 24th Avenue North (26-118-22-21-0075 and 26-118-20-21-0074), stated she
has met with staff, but she is still concerned with the appraisal comparisons used. She explained
that she has a two bedroom home, and there was no compensation made for the vinyl siding or
the lack of bedrooms. She stated a two bedroom home really limits one on what they would sell
it for, and she believes that she would have to go with a lower sale price. She stated the
valuation of her property is $255,500, and she contacted a realtor, and they thought she could sell
the property for $245,000. She noted that she also owns an adjacent lot that is unbuildable which
the realtor felt she could sell for $5,000. She stated her home is located in a much older section
of the community, and there is a home located in front of her home. Due to the lack of upkeep
on that neighbor's property, there is really a negative effect on the value of her property.
David Reader, 16305 5th Avenue North (32-118-22-42-0007), stated he started a remodeling
project in 2004 but didn't finish it until 2005. He explained his assessed value of the home is
321,900, and of that amount, $69,600 is contributed to the improvements. He stated he applied
for a building permit with an improvement valued at $125,000, and the project cost was
approximately $100,000. For 2006, the value of his property has increased $48,200 ($117,800
increased value since he did the addition). He stated a home in his area sold in 2005 for
approximately $409,000, and prior to that it was sold at $315,000. He stated his concern is
justifying the value of his home. He could live with last year's valuation, but the proposed 15%
increase is a bit aggressive. Therefore, he requested reconsideration of his assessed value.

Page 2 of 3
Tao Zhang, 15645 40th Avenue North (16-118-22-23-0056), stated her house was constructed in
1984, and she purchased her home 18 years ago. She noted that she hasn't made any
improvements to her home. She stated her home's assessed value is higher than the market
value. She illustrated her home and explained that there are three units with the middle unit
being her home. She stated all three of these units have identical floor plans, but her assessed
value is much more than those units. She stated one of the unit's assessed value is $15,800, and
the other unit is.$18,300 less than hers. She noted that she has an 8' x 8' screened three season
porch versus the decks that the other two units have. She stated she contacted realtors, and they
indicated that her porch should be valued at $1,280, and if there was a good view, it could be
worth $4,000 to $5,000. Therefore, there should only be a $4,000 to $5,000 difference between
her unit and the other two units. She stated that the three units have different percentage
increases between 12.7% and 9.7%, with her property having the highest. She stated the average
townhome increase in the City is 5%. She stated last year, it was brought to her attention by the
homeowners association that portions of their development have been classified as a special
flood hazard area according to Federal Emergency Management Association (FEMA).
Therefore, that designation should lower the valuation of properties five to 10%. She requested
that the City reconsider the assessed value of her home so that it's comfortable and fair in
comparison to the adjacent units.
Leonid Zabezhinsky, 5295 Union Terrace Court (12-118-22-21-0039), stated the value of his
property has increased 15% without any improvements to the property. He noted the close
proximity of his home to the railroad, and homes that have been for sale in this area have been on
the market for a very long time due to that issue. He explained he wouldn't mind more of an
average increase in valuation versus the proposed 15% increase.
Mark and Susan Pedersen, 1825 Garland Lane North (29-118-22-31-0061), stated their valuation
has increased 15%, with the average neighborhood valuation increasing 7.85%. They stated this
is excessive as they haven't undertaken any major remodeling to the property in the last year or
two.
Jory Steinman, 4330 Polaris Lane North (16-118-22-21-0016), stated the valuation of his
property has increased 12%. He asked how this would affect his property taxes. He stated last
year the valuation of his property increased 9.9%, and his taxes increased over 10%. Mayor
Johnson explained how the property tax system works as well as other factors, such as removal
of market value credit aid, are figured in.
City Assessor Bye read into the record the following property owners who have contacted staff

CITY OF PLYMOUTH
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
DATE: April 12, 2006 for the City Council Meeting of April 25, 2006
TO: Laurie Aliens, City Manager through
Doran Cote, P.E., Director of Public Works
FROM: Bud Broekema, Sr. Engineering Technician
SUBJECT: ESTABLISHING AND REVOKING MUNICIPAL STATE AID STREETS
ACTION REQUESTED: Make a motion to adopt the attached two resolutions designating Vinewood
Lane, Medicine Ridge Road, 36th Avenue, Nathan Lane, 51st Avenue, Kilmer Lane, 56th Avenue,
Cheshire Lane and 18th Avenue as Municipal State Aid (MSA) Streets, and revoking part of 26th
Avenue, part of East Medicine Lake Boulevard and County Road 47 from our MSA street system.
BACKGROUND: The City receives fluids from the State of Minnesota each year for streets, which are
designated on the MSA system. The City is allowed to change street segments once each year in the
spring. The City is allowed to designate a maximum 20% of our street system as MSA streets. It is
advantageous to the City to designate as close to the 20% allowance as possible since part of the formula
for allocating MSA funds to the City is based on the length and age of the designated streets. In addition,
streets that have not yet been constructed or were constructed more than 20 years ago increase the
allocation more than newer streets. The designated streets must connect to either another MSA street or
pari of the state or county system and be identified as a collector or higher in the City's Transportation
Plan. Designating streets on the MSA system does not imply that they will be constructed or
reconstructed in any particular timefraine.
Currently, the City is 1.37 miles below the maximum allowable designation due to the addition of new
roads built, and mileage carry over from 2005. This year staff recommends removing CSAH 47 from
Vicksburg Lane east to CSAR 61 (N.W. Boulevard). Since this segment is not a city street, but a
Hennepin County roadway, it was not to the City's advantage to include it in our MSA system. Staff is
also recommending realigning the existing MSA segment, number 158, of East Medicine Lake Drive to
match changes to the City's Transportation Plan from a few years ago. This required removal of two
segments and then adding back the realigned segment using Medicine Ridge Road. The two removals
added back 2.66 miles to the City's system for a total of 4.03 miles available for designation.
The new streets recommended to be added to the City's MSA system total 3.94 smiles leaving a carry over
of 0.09 miles. They are all designated as either a minor or major collector in the City's Transportation
Plan. All proposed street segment additions have been reviewed for conformance with MSA
requirements by Minnesota Department of Transportation State Aid for Local Transportation Division.
As required by the State, a letter was submitted to the State Aid Engineer requesting the proposed
roadway additions and removals. A letter was received from Marshall Johnston, MSA Needs Manager,
approving all the requested segment revisions. A resolution of the City Council is required to facilitate
the changes.

Regarding: 3rd Revised proposed MSAS 2006 changes for the City of Plymouth
Mr. Gieseke,
This is a request for changes to our MSAS roadway segments. We are proposing to both add and
remove segments from our system. The following describes the requested changes. (Also, see
attached map). The East Medicine Lake Drive segments addresses a re -alignment of the minor
collector from East Medicine Lake Drive to Medicine Ridge Rd. It's addressed as a removal and an
addition in these tables.
Since the first proposal dated February 6th we have taken a look at up coming changes to the City's
Transportation Plan" and consulted with your staff. From this we have revised our proposal and now
submit these proposed segment revisions.

DATE: April 12, 2006
TO: Laurie Ahrens, City Manager
FROM: Doran Cote, P.E., Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: MUNICIPAL STATE AID (MSA) SYSTEM SUMMARY
BACKGROUND:
The 1957 Legislature, in response to a constitutional amendment passed during the November, 1956
election, authorized the establishment of the County State Aid Highway (CSAH) and MSA street
system. The MSA system is limited to cities with a population of 5,000 or more. The legislature
determined that the maximum mileage available for MSA designation is 20% of the total miles of city
streets and county roads within the jurisdiction of the City. Since a developing city's street mileage
typically increases annually, the amount of mileage eligible for MSA designation increases
accordingly. The only exception to the 20% rule is to accommodate trunk highways and county
highways that revert back to a city and become part of the MSA system. For example, a portion of
County Road 47 is currently designated as an MSA route. If ownership of County Road 47 is reverted
to the City with the MSA designation in place, the designated mileage counts against the City's 20%
maximum. If the MSA designation on County Road 47 is revoked before ownership is reverted to the
City, designating it as an MSA route after reversion will not count against the City 20% maximum.
DESIGNATIONS, ADDITIONS, REVISIONS AND REVOCATIONS:
Any contemplated change to a City's MSA system must first be presented to the District State Aid
Engineer for review and comment, and then, if appropriate, submittal of the request is made to the
State Aid Division office for preliminary approval. Upon receipt of preliminary approval, a formal
resolution of the City Council detailing the proposed charges is submitted by the City to the State Aid
division office and the Commission of Transportation makes the formal designation by
Commissioner's Order. Streets contemplated for the MSA system must connect to either another MSA
route or part of the State or County highway system and generally must be identified as a collector or
higher order street in a city's Transportation Plan.

ALLOTMENTS/DISTRIBUTION/APPORTIONMENT:
Allocation of State Aid monies to the counties and urban municipalities (cities with a population 5,000
or more) is made on the basis of a complex legislative formula. Generally speaking, the Estimated
Distribution is determined from taking the Total Highway Users Income (motor fuel tax, motor vehicle
tax, 30% of motor vehicle sales tax and interest) and deducting transfers to other departments (Public
Safety, Revenue, Natural Resources, and Administration). 95% of this Estimated Distribution is then
made available for State Aid allotments as follows:
Trunk Highway Fund - 62%
County State Aid Highway Fund - 29%
Municipal State Aid Fund - 9%
Of the total apportionment available for distribution to urban municipalities, 50% is distributed based
on population, 50% based on money needs (see below).
Attached are schedules which outline how the State Aid funds were distributed for 2006. In 2006, the
City of Plymouth's population apportionment was $1,127,170, the needs apportionment was $952,942
for a total apportionment of $2,080,112. Plymouth is ranked 23`d in total apportionment state-wide.
MONEY NEEDS:
Money needs are defined as the estimated total annual costs of constructing and maintaining the MSA
system over a period of 25 years. In other words, money needs is the estimated cost to construct the
entire MSA system to MSA standards in addition to the cost to maintain the system. The more
deficient a city's MSA system, the greater the money needs of that community. For 2006, the City of
Plymouth has 17.65 miles of "adequate" MSA streets and 37.92 miles of "deficient" MSA streets and
our Adjusted Construction Needs is $57,505,407. This value is used to determine Plymouth's needs
based apportionment.

3. PLANNING COMMISSION HEARING:
On April 5, 2006, the Planning Commission conducted the public hearing on this matter and
subsequently voted unanimously to recommend approval of the request. The applicant was
present and spoke in support of the request. In addition to the applicant, one resident spoke in
support of the request and three residents raised questions on the matter as follows:
Views to Medicine Lake
Property owners north of the school's west parking lot stated that they do not want any trees
planted in locations that would obstruct their views to Medicine Lake. Staff added a condition to
the attached resolution that requires the applicant to relocate the proposed trees west of the
parking lot to locations that will not obstruct views to Medicine Lake from the single family
homes to the north.
A resident questioned the need for additional parking at the school since the school's enrollment
is down. The applicant responded that the western parking lot is used for faculty and service
vehicles and there has been a change in curriculum that now provides programs with more staff
per student. The applicant also stated that student enrollment is at one of its higher levels.
Parkin Lot. ot. Lighting
A resident stated concern about lighting in the western parking lot. Staff stated that the City's
lighting requirements are more restrictive and are designed to prevent obtrusive light to adjacent
properties. Staff added that the lighting for the western parking lot should improve from the
existing condition.
Pre -Event Music
A resident stated concern about loud music that is played in the spring before events on the
fields. The applicant responded that this music was occurring before baseball games. The
applicant stated that the school has addressed this issue and there shouldn't be any pre -event
music before baseball games in the future.
File 2006002
Page 3
Hours of Events
A resident stated concern that some games do not end until 11:00 p.m. The applicant stated
games at the stadium start at 7:00 p.m. and end at 9:30 p.m. with lights off at 10:00 p.m. The
applicant stated that the school did not follow this time frame with one football game where there
was a double booking of officials. The applicant stated that this was hopefully a one-time
occurrence.
The Planning Commission also raised questions, as noted below.
Site Improvement Completion
The Planning Commission stated that they received a letter from a resident (attached) that states
that the school has not followed through with their plans in the past. The Planning Commission
asked what measures are in place to ensure completion of the project according to the plans. The
applicant stated that their contract documents require that their contractors complete the
improvements by a specific date and that work be done according to the plans, which includes
site restoration after construction. The applicant also stated that the school would take additional
measures, including flagging the specific trees identified for relocation and installation of tree
protection fencing for the trees to be preserved. Staff stated that the attached resolution requires
the applicant to complete a site improvement performance agreement with the City, which would
include a financial guarantee for all work to be completed on the site.
Stockpiles of Dirt
The Planning Commission asked if there would be any stockpiles of dirt on the site. The
applicant stated that if the contractor creates any stockpiles of dirt, the piles would need to be
located within the immediate area where grading is allowed.
Stadium Sound Study
The Planning Commission asked if someone would be present to monitor the sound levels during
events. The applicant stated that the sound levels would be pre-set to a low sound setting that is
designed for games.with fewer spectators, such as soccer and lacrosse.- The applicant added that
the sound could only be changed to the pre -established higher setting for football games.
School Complaint Process
The Planning Commission asked how the school currently responds to complaints. The applicant
stated that complaints are directed to the school office and that the school sends out information
to parents twice a year. The applicant indicated that the process in not as good as they would like
and that they are receptive to creating a better response system. The Planning Commission stated
that the communication between the school and the neighbors is very important. The Planning
Commission recommended that the school develop an action plan for the school to process
File 2006002
Page 4
neighborhood complaints during construction and games, and that the school present an action
plan to communicate their complaint process to the neighborhood.
On April 14, 2006 (after the public hearing), Armstrong High School submitted a letter
attached) outlining their plans for responding to public comments. The school has identified
various avenues for accepting public comments as follows:
1) Phone calls with comments or complaints may be made to the administration offices, to
Armstrong High School, or to the School Board. The calls will subsequently be directed to
the proper staff for response,
2) On May 1, 2006, the school will amend their voicemail system to direct any site comments
or complaints to the specific staff responsible and will provide options for after hour calls,
3) Prior to May 1, 2006, the school will make improvements to their website to clarify and
expedite comments through the school's "contact us" link,
4) Future public informational mailings to .parents and general property owners within the
district will include a message informing the reader how to provide the school with any
comments or complaints,
5) The school board will continue to offer a listening hour at their first meeting of each month to
receive comments or feedback.
Staff finds that if the school implements the changes listed in their April 14, 2006 letter, they will
have addressed the recommendations of the Planning Commission. Staff has added a condition
to the attached resolution requiring implementation of the plan, as recommended by the Planning
Commission.
Notice of Public Hearing at the Planning Commission was published in the City's official
newspaper and mailed to all property owners within 500 feet. The notification area map is
attached. Development signage remains on the site.

equipment. The application also included a variance to allow expansion of a legally non-
conforming loading area.
5. LEVEL.OF CITY DISCRETION IN DECISION-MAKING:
The City's discretion in approving or denying a site plan amendment is limited to whether or not
the proposed project meets the measurable standards outlined in the Zoning Ordinance. If it
meets these measurable standards, the City must then approve the site plan amendment.
The City's discretion in approving or denying a conditional use permit is limited to whether or
not the proposed project meets the standards listed in the Zoning Ordinance. If it meets the
specified standards, the City must then approve the permit. However, the level of discretion is
affected by the fact that some of these standards are open to interpretation.
The City's discretion in approving or denying a variance is limited to whether or not the
proposed project meets the standards in the Zoning Ordinance for a variance. The City has a
higher level of discretion with a variance because the burden of proof is on the applicant to show
that they meet the standards in the ordinance.
6. ANALYSIS OF PROPOSAL:
Site Plan Amendment
The applicant is requesting a site plan amendment to complete the following improvements:
1. New turf surface for the stadium field,
2. Expansion of the high jump area on the south side of the stadium field,
3. New grass surface for the junior varsity/physical education field,
4. Expansion of the junior varsity/physical education field 20 feet to the south and 12 feet to
the west with retaining walls (3 feet high or less) on the west, south and northeast sides of
the field,
5. Reconstruction of the tennis courts, including two new courts,
6. Reconstruction of the western parking lot, and a parking expansion 48 feet to the south
and 7 feet to the west to allow space for 24 new parking spaces,
7. Replacement of the stadium field scoreboard, and
8. Addition of various sidewalks north of the school building.
The Zoning Ordinance contains specific standards for approval of a site plan amendment. Staff
reviewed the application with these standards and determined that the proposed expansion would
comply with the standards in the ordinance for parking setbacks, and lighting. The applicant is
requesting variances for impervious surface area coverage and for surface area and height of a
scoreboard. The variances are addressed later in this report. Additional information and
ordinance requirements are provided in the following table:
File 2006002
Page 7
The specific standards that require additional explanation are as follows.
Landscaping/Screening
The Ordinance does not require landscaping for at grade improvements such as athletic fields or
tennis courts. However, the applicant is proposing to plant four coniferous trees south of the
junior varsity field. The applicant would also transplant nine of the twelve existing coniferous
trees located south of the field. The transplanted trees would be relocated roughly 10 to 15 feet
to the south to accommodate the 20 -foot expansion to the junior varsity field. The applicant has
also proposed landscape islands for the west parking lot and three trees on the west side of the
parking lot. The applicant would also replace five trees that would be removed as part of the
tennis court reconstruction.
Storm Water Runoff
The additional storm -water runoff from the stadium field, junior varsity field, and tennis courts
would be captured in drain -tile systems and directed to the existing water quality pond located
south of the school building. The applicant is proposing to expand the pond to the northeast to
provide the necessary storage and treatment for the above listed site improvements. To treat the
additional storm -water runoff from the west parking lot addition, the applicant would construct a
bioretention basin on the west side of the west parking lot. Staff has added conditions to the
attached resolution requiring compliance with the City's storm drainage requirements. Staff
notes that with the conditions in the approving resolution, the proposal would meet the City's
engineering requirements.
Grading/Excavation
To reconstruct both athletic fields, the tennis courts, west parking lot, and to expand the pond on
the south side of the school building, the applicant would excavate roughly 19,500 -cubic yards of
soil and would import roughly 19,500 -cubic yards of fill on the school property. The location of
site grading would be limited to the stadium field (inside the track), and the immediate area
around the junior varsity field, tennis courts, west parking lot, and the pond. Since the request
includes a significant amount of earthwork to complete the proposed improvements, staff

Storm Water Runoff
The additional storm -water runoff from the stadium field, junior varsity field, and tennis courts
would be captured in drain -tile systems and directed to the existing water quality pond located
south of the school building. The applicant is proposing to expand the pond to the northeast to
provide the necessary storage and treatment for the above listed site improvements. To treat the

the south side of the school building, the applicant would excavate roughly 19,500 -cubic yards of
soil and would import roughly 19,500 -cubic yards of fill on the school property. The location of
site grading would be limited to the stadium field (inside the track), and the immediate area
around the junior varsity field, tennis courts, west parking lot, and the pond. Since the request
includes a significant amount of earthwork to complete the proposed improvements, staff
File 2006002
Page 8
considered the following: 1) the content of fill material, 2) hours of operation, and 3) the duration
of grading work.
1) Content of Fill Material
The ordinance specifies that fill material not consist of garbage, animal or vegetable refuse,
poisons, contaminants, chemicals, decayed material, filth, sewage or similar septic or biologically
dangerous material. The site improvements would include class five fill under.the tennis courts
and western parking lot, a mixture of sand and organic matter under the junior varsity field,
crushed granite under the turf field and top soil in various locations. Therefore, the proposal
complies with this condition. The attached resolution addresses content of fill material.
2) Hours of Operation
The ordinance specifies that the allowable hours for filling operations and any related grading are
limited to between 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM on Mondays through Fridays, and between 8:00 AM
and 6:00 PM on Saturdays. The applicant stated that the grading operation on site would comply
with the hours of operation specified in the Ordinance. The applicant further stated that trucks
hauling fill on or off the site would only operate Monday through Friday between 8:30 AM and
3:30 PM. The attached resolution conditions the hours of operation as proposed by the applicant.
3) Duration of Grading Work
Section 21185.08 of the Zoning Ordinance states that filling/grading operations must be
completed within six months from the date the Council approves the site plan amendment. The
applicant stated that grading operations for the stadium field, junior varsity field, tennis courts,
and west parking lot would be completed by August 23, 2006. The grading/excavation for the
stormwater improvements would be completed by September 1, 2006. Staff finds that this
schedule complies with the Zoning Ordinance. The attached resolution addresses this matter.
Conditional Use Permit Amendment
The applicant is proposing to modify existing conditions of approval found in Resolution 94-511,
which approved a site plan amendment, conditional use permit, and variance for the
athletic/physical education complex at Armstrong High School. The changes include adding
language to allow one additional football game, 16 lacrosse games and eight additional soccer
games. Staff notes that the amendment to allow eight additional soccer games is a correction.
The school's original intent in 1994 was to allow eight boys' soccer games and eight girls' soccer
games. The school has used the stadium for 16 total soccer games since their original approval
in 1994. The amendment would formally permit a use that has been occurring on the site since
their original conditional use permit approval. With the conditional use permit amendment, the
applicant is also proposing to clarify which activities would include the use of the public address
system.
The applicant submitted an acoustical study for the stadium public address system. The goal of
the study was to provide an evaluation of the existing public address system and provide
File 2006002
Page 9
recommendations that would reduce or minimize acoustical impact to the neighboring properties.
The study states that with re -orientation of the public address speakers, and adjustment of the
sound level based on the amount of spectators, the decibel levels at the residential property line
could be significantly reduced from the present levels. The study also indicates that the new
public address system would be designed to meet the sound level requirements of the City Code.
Staff notes the conditional use permit amendment would maintain a condition stating that the
City will require modifications to the public address system if the City finds that there is a
negative noise impact on the surrounding property. To date, the City has not received any
complaints related to noise from stadium games or events.
To address the impact of the additional use at the stadium, the applicant provided a schedule
attached) defining the existing and proposed usage. The schedule shows that the amount of fall
games using the public address system would increase by one football game from what exists
today. Staff notes that the additional football game is a required increase from the Minnesota
State High School League. The schedule also shows that the amount of spring games would
increase to accommodate 16 total lacrosse games. Lacrosse games would have roughly 30 to 150
spectators. Varsity football games draw 1,500 to 2,500 spectators. Therefore, staff finds that the
addition of 16 lacrosse games to the spring schedule would have a lower impact to the site and
surrounding properties than the current fall schedule.
Proposed Resolution Amendments:
Staff notes that except as amended below, all other conditions found in resolution 94-511 shall
remain. The amendments would include the following:
Spectator events utilizing the stadium public address system shall be limited to:
a. €euffive scheduled football games exclusive of post -season competition
b. eisixteen home soccer dates exclusive of post -season competition
c. spring graduation
d. track meets as scheduled in previous years
e. all events shall end by 9:30 p.m. with site lighting to be turned off within one-half
hour after the competition of an event
f. sixteen lacrosse games exclusive of post season competition
The school district will adjust the operational parameters of the stadium public address
system to reduce the acoustic impact of the public address system on the surrounding
property during the games and events with limited spectators such as for varsity lacrosse,
soccer, and track. The School District shall provide the City data regarding the decibel
levels monitored during the first home football game and soccer game. The City will require
modifications to the public address system if the City finds that there is a negative noise
impact on the surrounding property.
Only stadium events listed in this resolution shall utilize the stadium public address system.
Other stadium usage activities for physical education, practices, scrimmages and lower level
games will occur in the _stadium but will not include the use of the stadium public address
s tem.
File 2006002
Page 10
The City Council must review the requested conditional use permit with the seven conditional
use permit standards listed in the Zoning Ordinance. A copy of the standards is attached. Staff
used these standards to review the application and finds that the request meets the applicable
standards as follows:
Comprehensive Plan: The City's Land Use Plan envisions institutional uses such as the
Armstrong High School and a variety of public and private recreational and athletic facilities
within the P -I (Public/Semi-Public/Institutional) land use designation. Therefore, the stadium
activities would be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
Public Welfare: The proposed use would not be detrimental to the general public health,
welfare, morals, or comfort. The intent of the project is to provide a facility for youth athletic
activities.
Impact on Surrounding Property: The proposed use would not be injurious to the
immediately surrounding properties or to the City as a whole. The existing stadium is screened
from residential properties with existing trees and changes in grade. The applicant is not
proposing above grade changes to the stadium. The increased use at the stadium with a public
address system would be one football game in the fall and 16 lacrosse games in the spring. The
applicant has proposed to modify the public address system based on a sound study to reduce
noise levels to neighboring properties.
Orderly Development: The surrounding properties are fully developed and the proposed
stadium use would not impede improvement of the surrounding properties.
Public Facilities: The subject site is adequately served by public facilities. Staff has evaluated
the traffic demand for the increased use. Staff notes that traffic is currently not an issue for the
four regularly scheduled varsity football games. Staff finds that the increase of one varsity
football game could be accommodated.
District Regulations: The proposed use would comply with the regulations of the P -I zoning
district.
Performance Standards: The proposed use is consistent with all the performance standards
outlined in the Zoning Ordinance subject to the conditions in the attached resolution.
Variances
The applicant is requesting three variances to allow: 1) 28.3 -percent impervious surface area
coverage where the Zoning Ordinance specifies a maximum of 25 percent, 2) a 312.5 -square
foot, 20.5 -high scoreboard, where the Zoning Ordinance specifies a maximum surface area of
150 -square feet, and a maximum height of 16 feet, and 3) a 26 -square foot electronic message
board with 14 -inch letters, where the Zoning Ordinance specifies a maximum surface area of six
square feet, and a maximum height letter height of 4 -inches.
File 2006002
Page 11
Impervious Surface Area Coverage Variance:
The subject property is located in a shoreland overlay district. Section 21665.04, Subd. 4 of the
Zoning Ordinance permits a maximum impervious surface area coverage of 25 percent.
Impervious surface is defined as any surface that is highly resistant to infiltration by water. It
includes surfaces such as compacted sand or clay as well as most conventionally surfaced streets,
driveways, roofs, sidewalks, stoops, tennis courts, swimming pools, parking lots, and other
similar structures. The applicant is requesting approval of a shoreland variance to allow 28.3 -
percent impervious surface area coverage in the Medicine Lake Shoreland Management Overlay
District.
The westerly 9.7 acres of the school property is located in the Shoreland Management Overlay
District. The impervious surface area coverage requirement is based on the 9.7 acres of the
property that is located in the overlay district. Staff notes that this portion of the site currently
exceeds the allowed impervious surface area coverage. The site currently includes 26.6 percent
impervious coverage, which is an overage of 7,700 square feet or 1.6 percent. The applicant is
proposing to add 7,300 square feet of additional impervious surface (1.7 percent) for a total of
28.3 percent impervious surface coverage. The 7,300 square feet of additional impervious
surface would be used to construct a 24 -stall parking addition to the south side of the west
parking lot to be used for faculty parking
Water Quality
Presently untreated runoff from this western parking lot drains to West Medicine Lake Road,
where it enters the City's storm sewer system and travels south to small pond before entering
Medicine Lake. The applicant has proposed a bioretention basin on the west side of the parking
lot, which would treat approximately 33,800 square feet of impervious surface and would
mitigate the impervious surface coverage over 25 percent. Engineering staff has reviewed the
design of the bioretention basin and found that the proposed design would treat the additional
impervious surface.
The City Council must review the variance request with the standards outlined in Section 21030
of the Zoning Ordinance. A copy of the standards is attached. Staff used these standards to
review the application, as follows:
1) That because of the particular physical surroundings, shape, or topographical
conditions of the specific parcel of land involved, a particular hardship to the owner would
result, as distinguished from a mere inconvenience, if the strict letter of the regulations
were to be carried out.
The physical surroundings of the property create a unique hardship, as distinguished from a mere
inconvenience. Construction of additional parking in other locations of the school property is not
reasonable given the layout of the existing school building and facilities, and given the steep
slopes and wooded areas on the site. In addition, the applicant has proposed to mitigate the
File 2006002
Page 12
increased impervious surface with a bioretention basin on the west side of the westerly parking
lot.
2) That the conditions upon which a petition for a variation is based are unique to the
parcel of land for which the variance is sought and are not applicable, generally, to other
property within the same zoning classification.
The conditions relating to the hardship are not generally applicable to other properties in the P -I
zoning district. The location of the school building and facilities on the site present a unique
hardship. If the school building and parking lot were constructed on the east end of the site and
the athletic fields on the west end of the site, there would not be a need for the variance.
3) That the purpose of the variation is not based exclusively upon a desire to increase the
value or income potential of the parcel of land.
The purpose of the variance is not based upon a desire to increase the value or income potential
of the parcel of land. The proposed parking lot addition would provide additional parking spaces
for school faculty.
4) That the alleged difficulty or hardship is caused by this Chapter and has not been
created by any persons having an interest in the parcel of land and is not a self-created
hardship.
The hardship is caused by the Zoning Ordinance and was not self-created.
5) That the granting of the variation will not be detrimental to the public welfare or
injurious to other land or improvements in the neighborhood in which the parcel of land is
located.
The variances would allow a reasonable use of the land and would not be detrimental to the
public welfare or injurious to other land in the neighborhood. The applicants are proposing to
mitigate the increased impervious surface with the addition of the bioretention basin that would
treat the increased impervious surface before entering Medicine Lake.
6) That the proposed variation will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to
adjacent property, or substantially increase the congestion of the public streets, or increase
the danger of fire, or endanger the public safety, or substantially diminish or impair
property values within the neighborhood.
The variance would not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property, or
substantially increase the congestion of the public streets, or increase the danger of fire, or
endanger the public safety, or substantially diminish or impair property values within the
neighborhood.
File 2006002
Page 13 .
7) That the requested variance is the minimum action required to eliminate the hardship.
The variance is the minimum necessary in order to provide parking for the school's faculty.
Scoreboard and Message Board Surface Area and Height Variances:
Section 21155.03, Subd. 6 of the Zoning Ordinance allows scoreboards for public schools
provided that the scoreboard not exceed 150 square feet in surface area or sixteen feet in height,
and that no advertising or sponsor panels shall be permitted on the scoreboard, except that a non-
profit organization sponsoring the scoreboard may include their name within the area allowed for
the scoreboard. The applicant is requesting a variance to allow a 312.5 -square foot, 20.5 -high
scoreboard at the northeast corner of the stadium.
Section 21155.02, Subd. 2 of the Zoning Ordinance allows electronic message boards provided
the message board: 1) shall not be visible from any public street, 2) shall be no greater than six
square feet, 3) shall comply with all other signage regulations, and 4) characters and letters shall
be no more than four inches in height. The applicant is requesting a variance to allow a 26 -
square foot electronic message board with 14 -inch letters. The message board would internal to
the stadium scoreboard.
The 12.5 -foot by 25 -foot electric scoreboard would be internally lit and would not include any
additional lighting. The top section of the scoreboard would be 2.6 feet by 25 feet and would
state "Armstrong High School", "Home of the Falcons". The middle section would include a
2.4 -foot by 11.2 -foot lighted electronic message board with the school logo on each side. The
electronic message board would include information pertaining to the game or Armstrong High
School activities. The message board would not be visible from any public street and would
comply with all other sign regulations. The display would not blink, flash, scroll, alternate colors
or feature animated displays as required by the Zoning Ordinance. The bottom section of the
scoreboard would be 8 feet by 25 feet and would include the team names, scores, time clock, etc.
The City has approved variances for scoreboards on school athletic fields. On April 1, 1998, the
City Council approved a 408 -square foot scoreboard for the baseball field and a 105 -square foot
scoreboard for the softball field at Armstrong High School. On September 7, 1999, the City
Council approved a variance for a 200 -square foot, 18 -foot high scoreboard at the Wayzata High
School stadium complex. On September 5, 2000, the City Council approved a variance for a
160 -square foot, 18 -foot high scoreboard at the Elm Creek Playfields for use by the Wayzata
High School varsity softball team.
The City Council must review also review the scoreboard variance request with the standards
outlined in Section 21030 of the Zoning Ordinance. Staff used these standards to review the
application, as follows:
File 2006002
Page 14
1) That because of the particular physical surroundings, shape, or topographical
conditions of the specific parcel of land involved, a particular hardship to the owner would
result, as distinguished from a mere inconvenience, if the strict letter of the regulations
were to be carried out.
The physical surroundings of the property create a unique hardship, as distinguished from a mere
inconvenience. Because of the size of the football field stadium, the applicant requires a larger
scoreboard and message board in order to make the display visible to all players and spectators.
2) That the conditions upon which a petition for a variation is based are unique to the
parcel of land for which the variance is sought and are not applicable, generally, to other
property within the same zoning classification.
The conditions relating to the hardship are not generally applicable to other properties in the P -I
zoning district. The size of the high school and associated stadium field creates the need for the
larger scoreboard and message board.
3) That the purpose of the variation is not based exclusively upon a desire to increase the
value or income potential of the parcel of land.
The request is not based exclusively upon a desire to increase value or income potential of the
property. The larger scoreboard and message board would be visible to all players and spectators
in the bleachers.
4) That the alleged difficulty or hardship is caused by this Chapter and has not been
created by any persons having an interest in the parcel of land and is not a self-created
hardship.
The hardship is caused by the Zoning Ordinance and was not self-created.
5) That the granting of the variation will not be detrimental to the public welfare or
injurious to other land or improvements in the neighborhood in which the parcel of land is
located.
Granting the variance would not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other land or
improvements in the neighborhood. The proposed scoreboard and message board would be
located in the same location as the existing scoreboard at the northeast corner of the stadium.
The face of the scoreboard would not be visible from the adjacent homes south of the field due to
grade and an existing wooded area.
File 2006002
Page 15
6) That the proposed variation will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to
adjacent property, or substantially increase the congestion of the public streets, or increase
the danger of fire, or endanger the public safety, or substantially diminish or impair
property values within the neighborhood.
The variance would not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property, or
substantially increase the congestion of the public streets, or increase the danger of fire, or
endanger the public safety, or substantially diminish or impair property values within the
neighborhood.
7) That the requested variance is the minimum action required to eliminate the hardship.
The variance is the minimum necessary in order to install a scoreboard and message board that is
visible to all players and spectators at the game.
7. CONCLUSION:
With the exception of the requested impervious surface coverage and scoreboard variances, staff
finds that the proposal meets or exceeds all applicable general and specific standards outlined in
the Zoning Ordinance. Staff further finds that both variance requests meet all the applicable
standards for the granting of a variance. However, since staff's conclusion on both the
conditional use permit request and variance requests are based on standards that are open to some
interpretation, the City Council could reasonably reach another conclusion on these portions of
the application.
8. RECOMMENDATION:
Community Development Department staff recommends approval of the site plan amendment,
conditional use permit and variances for Inspec Inc., for site improvements at Armstrong High
School, subject to the conditions listed in the attached resolution.

Commissioner Anderson queried why the City has a requirement that the scoreboard not
have any form of advertising on it. Community Development Director Hurlburt responded
that the City does not permit off -premise advertising signs anywhere in the City of
Plymouth, whether it's a billboard or a business that has a sign that does not directly
advertise the name of the business or the product of the service that is offered at that
business. She stated that prohibiting off -premise signs in the City really requires that we
be consistent across the board in all zoning districts and in all uses and if we are going to
allow off -premise signs advertising in one area, it would be difficult to defend legally
allowing it in another area. Commissioner Anderson stated that this is an issue she would
like to visit` at some point. She stated it is one way schools can pay for their scoreboard
and get rid of a tax burden for their citizens. Community Development Director Hurlburt
responded that we have done research from time to time on the legal status and whether or
not we could allow this type of sign. She stated we can certainly come back to the
Planning Commission with a report. She said we have worked with the City Attorney to
see if there was some way we could do it for some and not for others. She stated that
athletic organizations and schools want to do off -premise signs but so would businesses.
She said we can prepare a report on the research that we have done in the past as an
informational item for the Commission to see if they want to go any further with it.
Chair Holmes introduced the applicant, Jim Gerber, Facilities Program Director,
Robbinsdale Area Schools, 4148 Winnetka Avenue North, New Hope. Mr. Gerber stated
that in regards to the west parking lot addition, there is insufficient parking space. He said
they have seen a significant increase in parking needs since there has been a fluctuation in
curriculum to address special education needs as well as English as a second language. He
stated these are more staff intensive curriculum and from time to time they have had more
staff in the building than in the past and there is not enough parking. He said they wanted
to address those issues and to have an area fully available for emergency vehicles. He
stated there is a request to add sixteen lacrosse games for boys and girls. He said lacrosse
currently does not exist at the high school level but they will be adding lacrosse next year
for the girls and for the boys in the following year. He stated with regards to the total
number of soccer games currently played, the request is just a correction to the original
language. He said the current language is for eight games and should correctly reflect the
total of sixteen games played by both boys and girls. He said there is an additional request
for one additional football game that would be scheduled from time to time. He stated that
in regards to the public address system, the school district did have a meeting last
December. He said there is some concern about the public address system being used on
the weekend, so they hired a consultant to analyze it. He said they realize the public
address system was not being a good neighbor and asked for more analysis. He stated they
came up with three drawings and found there was an impact on the surrounding
neighborhood with the existing system. He said they did further refinements, and with
changes, achieved significantly lower sound past the football field perimeter. He said the
analysis incorporates keeping the output matched to the amount of spectators. The public
address system would operate at a higher level for football games and can be changed to a
lower level for other events.

Commissioner Anderson stated that the Planning Commission received a letter from
resident Kathleen George, 10630 34th Avenue North, who lives near the school and who
has expressed a number of concerns. She requested information from the school district on
what they are going to do to guarantee that they follow through with construction as
outlined. Mr. Gerber responded that one of the items that would be addressed would be
requiring the contractor to flag every tree that is proposed to be relocated or touched in any
manner. He stated the contractor and district consultant would walk through the site before
construction begins to make sure tree damage does not occur. He said there would be a
requirement that the contractor would have to install orange fencing around each site
before they can do any work. He stated they are taking measures to help make sure
restoration, and the turf itself is listed in the contract documents that the contractor would
have to sign. He said those concerns are very legitimate and quality control is everything.
He said it's the necessity of the school district that there are areas defined before they start.
Commissioner Anderson queried if that was something that can be included in the
resolution. Community Development Director Hurlburt responded that it is already in the
resolution. Planner Doty stated that the resolution includes a condition requiring the
applicant to enter into a site improvement agreement and submit a financial guarantee
before any grading is done. Commissioner Anderson queried if it required the fencing.
Planner Doty replied that it does require the fence.
Mr. Gerber added that for the hours of operation, there was a document that was presented
as part of their submittal that trucking operations and hauling of material in or off the site,
when it occurs, would be limited in hours and the contractor would be required to comply.
He stated that the hours would be limited to Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30
p.m. He said only one thing they would ask is that the contractor's work on the site would
be allowed to occur within the 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. work day as this is separate from
trucking operations. Commissioner Weir queried if heavy equipment was routinely set up
before 4:00 and 5:00 a.m. as stated in the letter. Mr. Gerber replied that he didn't have that
information at hand but that would be outlined in the contract documents.
Commissioner Murdock stated that there are so many residential homes in the
neighborhood and she did not think only the hours of operation were a concern but also
noted by this particular neighbor were the lights and the games not ending at 9:30 or 10:00
p.m. She said this is a critical piece that the school district needs to adhere to and with the
inconvenience factor, she thinks something should be addressed in the resolution that refers
to that.
Commissioner Clyman stated that it is exciting for the school district to expand the number
of games and his main concern with the letter received and in general, seems to be the
complaint process and the need for a plan on how the school district communicates with
neighbors. Mr. Gerber responded that their complaint process isn't as good a program as
they would like. He said the public contacts the district through the high school office or
district office. He stated there is information that goes out to parents with children in the
Draft
Planning Commission Minutes
April 5, 2006
Page 4
school and area residents receive a newsletter once or twice a year. He said they could
look at that as well as publishing on their website. He said they are open to receipt of
complaints and in creating a better response system.
Commissioner Clyman stated that he hoped they would do that and queried if there is
always someone present when the sound system is modified to the lower decibels. Mr.
Gerber responded that the system would be modified and those adjustments incorporated
prior to the end of August. He stated that at the first home football game and first home
soccer game, the consultant would be identifying the model that the school district would
adhere to. He said that during the summer of 2006, they would set up the sound system
with two preset levels and there would be a person on site at events to operate that system
with a key. He said that for the five football games, the activity director would increase the
decibels. He stated the system would automatically go back down for the other games. He
added that the system allows them to set the system to those two levels to make sure the
system stays in that mode of operation.
Commissioner Clyman queried that during the construction phase if there would be any
heaps of dirt. Mr. Gerber responded that there are limits during construction for the
contractor. He stated there will be an erosion control fence around the stadium area and the
contractor is obligated to stay within the track field.. He said the contractor would not be
able to go outside of the track and only within the area adjacent to the junior varsity field.
He stated there are limits and there is fencing at the perimeter of the turf area and they must
place or remove material within that zone. He said that when expansion of the water
quality pond begins, everything they touch is their responsibility to resurface. He said the
contractor will similarly place material during the parking lot expansion only inside a final
construction zone.
Chair Holmes opened the public hearing.
Chair Holmes introduced Logan Coombs, 3510 East Medicine Lake Boulevard. Mr.
Coombs stated that he lives within 500 feet of the school so he got a letter and came to
observe the process. He said that he really appreciates the concern that everyone has about
the neighbors. He stated that we are addressing questions that he didn't think to ask and he
is glad someone is looking out for him. He said he has a concern about neighbors planting
trees that would inhibit the view of Medicine Lake as that is why he is located in Plymouth.
He stated that all the sound issues that have been brought up are good but the primary
concern here is that at the end of day when the students and staff are gone, they are looking
over an empty lot to the lake.
Chair Holmes introduced Patti Flekke, 3495 Pilgrim Lane North. Ms. Flekke stated that
she was pleased to hear about the issues that have been addressed. She said she has made a
number of improvements to her home to stop the sound from coming in. She said her
concern is the music that is played before any event and that students have access to that
and it is very loud. She stated that it is always in the spring when there is a painfully
Draft

intrusive sound with music. She added that she appreciates all the work that has been done
for a fence around Tiburon as it really helped that property.
Chair Holmes introduced Lawrence Nelson, 3516 East Medicine Lake Boulevard. Mr.
Nelson said when they built the new road (East Medicine Lake Boulevard), they put in a
holding pond south of the school property and questions why they would need another
holding pond. He stated that if they do put a holding pond here, he questions how soil
erosion, trees and greenery affect that million dollar view. He stated that he questions the
number of additional parking spots along the west side of the parking lot as he has never
seen anybody parking there. He said the student population has been down. He stated this
is the teacher's parking lot and students park elsewhere, so why do they need more teachers
if there are less students. He questions why the holding pond is required when one was just
put in. He stated the school district broke promises. He said he doesn't see how they'll put
a holding pond on a hill without something to stop the water flow. He stated on the noise
issue that sometimes those games go to 11:00 p.m. at night. He said that with Mission
Farms across the street, he is in the middle of the activity. He stated he was also concerned
about the lights as sometimes they leave all those lights on and he would be happy if they
left the west side alone.
Chair Holmes introduced Ray Moles, 11200 46th Avenue North, Commissioner for the
Armstrong Cooper Youth Football and Youth Lacrosse Associations. Mr. Moles stated
that he has been a Plymouth resident for the past 21 years. He said they have about 1600
members in their youth organization and it is important that turf be placed on the fields.
He stated that surrounding schools are all playing on turf. He said it is safer and you don't
have to worry about the sprinkler system. He stated as a youth organization, they want to
keep them playing in a safe environment. He said that as they are growing, it is much
better to play on turf. He stated it's also a cost factor when you consider that a field is
unavailable when it is undergoing renovation and when turf fields are in place, you don't
have that problem. He added that for the Moorhead game, it couldn't be helped as they had
to wait for Wayzata officials. He said it was unavoidable and was a one night occurrence.
Chair Holmes requested a response to the potential loss to line of site to the lake. Planner
Doty responded that staff did receive a call from a property owner north of the parking lot
who had that concern. He said that he had contacted the school to discuss this and they
were very receptive to moving trees as needed to maintain views. He stated there are two
or three trees proposed on the west side of the parking lot and the school is receptive to
moving those. He said that staff does not have any specific requirement that they be
located on the west side of the parking lot. He said that a condition was added that requires
that no trees be placed in locations that would obstruct views to Medicine Lake for any of
the homes north of the parking lot. He responded to the mention of a pond on the west side
of the parking lot and said that it is actually not a pond. He stated the applicant is
proposing a rain garden, which is a depression filled with low growing shrubs and plants
that would treat the stormwater. He said that no trees are proposed in the rain garden
because they shade out the plants, which are needed to treat the stormwater.
Draft
Planning Commission Minutes
April 5, 2006
Page 6
Chair Holmes requested an explanation of the purpose of a rain garden. Planner Doty
replied that for site improvements, the City does require treatment of stormwater on the site
before it leaves the site and the applicant has proposed to treat it with the expansion of the
pond south of the school and the rain garden on the west side of the site. He stated that the
pond and rain garden are required. He said the applicant did oversize those quite a bit to
also mitigate the variance that is requested for impervious surface.
Chair Holmes requested a response on the sound issue surrounding pre event music. John
Christianson, Independent School District No. 281, 4148 Winnetka Avenue North, New
Hope, responded that the sound talked about was a spring happening that was occurring
before baseball games. He said the activity director has stated that this will no longer be
allowed. He stated that there are band opportunities and music before some games that are
being addressed. He said one other issue about the need for additional parking is that
enrollment of 2,300 students is at one of its higher levels. He stated one other thing that
has changed is the number of programs for students with disabilities and students with
English as a second language. He said there are much smaller class sizes and one-on-one
settings, which means more specialty staff come to the site today than 15 or 20 years ago.
Chair Holmes requested a response to games that go late. Mr. Christianson stated games
start at 7 p.m. typically. He stated unless there are a lot of clock stops or a passing game,
they are done by 9:30 p.m. with lights off by 10:00 p.m. or shortly thereafter. He said
another point is that officials are assigned out of the league. He said for the Moorhead
game, there was a double booking and instead of sending Moorhead home and bringing
them back another night, the decision was made to wait for the officials to finish their other
game.
Community Development Director Hurlburt requested a response to the lighting in the west
parking lot. Planner Doty responded that the applicant has proposed a new lighting system
just for the west parking lot. He stated the lighting system should improve from the
existing condition. He said the City has adopted new lighting regulations designed to
eliminate intrusive light to neighbors' properties. Also, the ordinance requires that any
light fixtures that are added within 300 feet of residential properties be equipped with
additional shielding. He said light glare to the neighboring properties to the north and to
the south should improve with the light system that is proposed.
Commissioner Murdock stated she had concerns about the noise, lighting and trees and
they have all been addressed. She said she also wanted to say that she supports the
enhancements to athletic fields and is aware of the ongoing shortage for lacrosse fields.
She said her only other comment to Commissioner Anderson's comment specifically
directed to advertising is that she had the opportunity to attend a meeting last week and
learned that the county now has TV monitors at their service centers where they are selling
advertising and using the revenue to pay for the administration fees. She stated they also
allow citizens to use credit cards to pay for various licenses and fees and she feels that this
is an area we should explore further.

Chair Holmes closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Anderson stated she wanted to comment to the activities director that she
was glad they are taking the initiative to eliminate the pre game music and half time music.
She added that it should be at a level to still communicate with the person next to you and
asks that steps be taken to make this a friendly plan.
MOTION by Commissioner Weir, seconded by Commissioner Anderson, to approve the
request by Inspec Inc. for a site plan amendment, conditional use permit amendment and
variances for site improvements at Armstrong High School located at 10635 36th Avenue
North.
Commissioner Clyman stated that he would like to add an amendment to the motion but
would first like more information on the difference between turf and grass and how it
affects runoff. Planner Doty replied that the turf surface is designed with a sub surface
including crushed limestone and a drain tile system. He added that drainage from the turf
surface would be collected in the drain tile and transported to the pond south of the school
building. He said it is very similar to the grass surface for the junior varsity field, which
would include a drain tile system that goes to the pond. Commissioner Clyman asked if it
is going into, anyone's yards. Planner Doty confirmed that all is directed to the pond.
MOTION to amend by Commissioner Clyman, seconded by Commissioner Anderson, to
add a condition requiring the school district to work with City staff to develop an action
plan for the school to process neighborhood complaints or concerns during construction
and games and to present an action plan to communicate to the neighborhood about the
process. Commission Weir stated that he was not sure that the City directing the school
district could legally be done. Community Development Director Hurlburt responded that
to the extent that conditions are necessary to ensure the standards for a conditional use
permit are met, you can attach them. Vote On Amendment. 3 Ayes with Nays by
Commissioners Weir and Murdock. MOTION approved.

events not listed in the proposed revised article for spectator game events with
public address system.
The revised stadium public address will be adjusted and refined based on the
results of the consultant's testing of the installed public address system operation
in the year 2006 fall season.
4. The establishment of the conditional use permit amendment will not impede the normal
and orderly development and improvement of the surrounding property for uses
permitted in the district.
5. Existing current measures and practices will be maintained by the applicant for the
property and the parking lot ingress, egress and parking.

WRITTEN DESCRIPTION
ZovOd02-
FEB - 1 2006
i
A large portion, approximately 9.7 acres, of the Armstrong High School property is located
within the Shoreland Overlay District for Medicine Lake. Presently, 28.3% of that property is
impervious, exceeding the 25% maximum that was amended to the Plymouth Zoning
Ordinance in 2004. If required to meet the regulations, approximately 15,000 square feet of
the existing impervious facilities would need to be eliminated within the Shoreland Overlay
District.
2. The existing impervious surfaces located within the Shoreland Overlay District consist of
vital infrastructure which include: a site access road, bituminous parking lot, a large portion
of the school building, and loading and receiving areas. Due to an increased demand for
parking at the facility, the proposed parking lot reconstruction project would result in 7,300
square feet of additional impervious surfaces within the Shoreland Overlay District. The
request for variance is unique to this parcel of land due to the following:
A majority of the property that is located outside of the Shoreland Overlay District is
either occupied by other site amenities (school building, drives and parking areas, athletic
fields, tennis courts, and athletic track) or is inaccessible due to the site's topography and
forestation located south of the school building. If the proposed additional parking
spaces were constructed outside of the Shoreland Overlay District, one of the existing site
amenities would be compromised.
3. Due to the poor condition and age of the west parking lot at Armstrong High School,
reconstruction of the existing bituminous pavement area is required. Presently, the parking
demand exceeds the available parking spaces.
4. The request for variance is attributable to a need to reconstruct the existing bituminous
pavement and provide additional parking spaces to meet the demand.
Currently, untreated stormwater runoff surface drains from the west parking lot to Medicine
Lake Road, where it is collected in the City's storm sewer system. Under the proposed
design, stormwater runoff from approximately 34,000 square feet of the west parking lot
would be treated through a bioretention facility prior to entering the City's storm sewer
system. In the opinion of the requestor, the proposed parking lot reconstruction/addition will
not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other land or improvements in the
neighborhood.
6. The proposed west parking lot addition is requested to meet the existing parking demand at
the facility and is not intended nor expected to create additional vehicular traffic at the site or
on adjacent public streets. The implementation of curbed islands is expected to improve on-
site traffic control and help maintain traffic lane clearance for emergency vehicles. The
proposed design includes replacement of existing non-compliant parking lot light standards
and fixtures with new parking lot lighting that is compliant with current regulations. In the
opinion of the requestor, the proposed parking lot reconstruction/addition will not have an
affect on the supply of air to adjacent property, increase the danger of fire, endanger public
safety, nor diminish property values in the neighborhood.
7. The requested variance will allow the school district to perform the much needed
maintenance to the existing west parking lot and more effectively meet existing parking
demands, while not compromising other site amenities.

SIGN ORDINANCE VARIANCE REQUEST APPLICATION
FOR PROPOSED STADIUM SCOREBOARD SIGN REPLACEMENT

PLYMOUTH, MN 55442
INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 281
4148 WINNETKA AVENUE NORTH
NEW HOPE, MN 55427
WRITTEN DESCRIPTION
It is difficult for all spectators to read the scoreboard with size, lettering and lighting
display that is compliant with the sign regulation.
2. The requested sign regulation for the scoreboard variance is unique to the parcel of land
due to the following:
The back side of the scoreboard is not lighted and abuts the heavily wooded
property to the east and consequently is significantly screened from those
residential units.
The signs, lettering and lighted display is angled to the residential property to the
south and is partially screened by the vegetation on the applicants property during
the majority of the seasons of primary use of the scoreboard. The west or home
bleachers also offers some screening of the scoreboard from the residential
properties to the south.
The proposed non display or back side of the scoreboard is located approximately
52 feet from the east property line.
The proposed display or front side of the scoreboard is located approximately 610
feet from the south property line.
The purpose of the requested increased size of the proposed scoreboard and the features
of the lighted display is to provide more effective viewing of the game event score and
statistics for the game event spectators. It is difficult for all current game event spectators
to view the current scoreboard display particularly in the afternoon events due to ambient
daylight conditions. The purpose of the proposed scoreboard is not to increase the value
of the land or income potential.
4. The request for the variance is attributable to the setback distance of the scoreboard from
the bleachers.
The requested variance in the opinion of the requestor will not be detrimental to the
public welfare or injurious to other land or improvements in the neighborhood. The
viewing angle to adjoining property and screening from the adjacent property that will
exist during the majority of its intended operation will minimize any additional affect on
the neighborhood.
6. The proposed scoreboard is located a significant distance from the adjacent residential
property. The increased size of the scoreboard and the associated requested variance in
the opinion of the requestor will have no affect on the supply of light or air to the
adjacent property, traffic congestion of the public streets, no affect on the danger for fire,
no affect on the public safety and will not substantially diminish or impair the property
values within the neighborhood.
7. The requested variance for scoreboard sign, size and lighting features will enable the
scoreboard to display the game score and statistics to provide more effective visibility to
the spectators located in the distant bleachers during the afternoon games. The requested
variance provides the minimum size and lighting display features that addresses the
spectator legibility.
8. List, mailing labels and map from Hennepin County of names and addresses of all current
property owners of record (within 6 months) within 200 feet of boundaries of property is
met by the applicant. They are included for the 500 foot distance as required by the
associated Interior Use Permit and Conditional Use Permit submittals.
Completed application fee form signed by the property owner is enclosed.
10. Payment for the signage fee is included in the attached check.

District Response to the Request for Information on the Site Plan Amendment and the CUP
Amendment requests at Armstrong High School:
1.0 WEST PARKING LOT TREES
A. Independent School District No. 281 (ISD 28 1) confirms our willingness to address
the concerns of some area property owners in regard to the trees that are proposed to
be installed in the turf area located west of the west parking lot.
B. As we understand, their concern pertains to the future blocking or restricting the view
of the Medicine Lake area from their property as the proposed trees mature.
C. ISD 281 will relocate the trees to a location that will not impact the property owner
views or sight lines to the Medicine Lake area and place the trees at locations that are
acceptable to the area property owners and the City along the turf area south of the
west parking lot.
1. ISD 281 did review the area located west of the west parking lot and
confirmed that if trees were placed in that area that they would affect the
Medicine Lake area views of the property owners to the north.
2.0 WEST PARKING LOT ADDITION REQUEST
A. The West parking lot services the Armstrong High School (AHS) staff and the AHS
building service vendors.
B. Periodically AHS staff and building service vendors park at locations that restrict
parking lot aisles and traffic movements due to the insufficient quantity of parking
stalls at some periods.
C. The west parking lot addition is proposed to provide additional parking lot stalls to
address the shortage of parking lot stalls for the AHS staff and building service
vendors.
D. AHS staff parking lot needs have fluctuated with changes in the student program
needs and the student population as well as with changes in the percentage of the part
time and full time AHS staff. The quantity of staff has been influenced by student
program needs such as:
1. Additional instructional staff utilized for fluctuations in various student
program needs such as the English language and Special Education programs.
2. Additional building student day security staff.

RE: Response to Issue of ISD 281 Program for Public Comments/Inquiries
CUP Amendment Process
Robbinsdale Armstrong High School
Dear Mr. Doty:
T5 DISTRICT 281
ROD DII15NLE
area schools
Independent School District 281 (ISD 28 1) is submitting additional information on its current
program and practices associated with public comments or inquiry for Robbinsdale Armstrong
High School. ISD 281 is very concerned and interested in being a good neighbor to area
residents. The existing program for the receipt and response to public comments and inquiries to
public comments is summarized in this response letter. Some modifications are being
implemented to the existing program to help clarify and inform the public of options that are
available for the receipt of their comments or inquiries.
Overview of Existing Program for Public Comments/Inquiries
The school district provides several means for receiving comments, complaints. or questions. A
complaint or inquiry can be directed to the ISD 281 administration offices, the School Board or
directly to Robbinsdale Armstrong High School.
When comments or questions are received they are reviewed and dealt with directly or are routed
to the employee responsible for that area of comment or question for their action or resolution.
ISD 281 does not have a data base for retention of comments and questions. The current
Robbinsdale Armstrong High School principal reports that the school receives approximately six
complaints from area residents annually pertaining to site trash or litter. Those comments are
investigated and the respective trash or litter issue is subsequently addressed as applicable by the
school staff.
Telephone Contact
A person interested in making a telephone call to communicate a question or inquiry pertaining
to Robbinsdale Armstrong High School has two published telephone number options. ISD 281
has telephone numbers listed in the business and professional listing in the DEX directory. The
first group of DEX listings is under the heading of Robbinsdale Area Schools Independent
School District 281 with the following information:
Education Service Center • 4148 Winnetka Avenue North • New Hope MN 55427-1288 • (763) 504-8000 • Fax (763) 504-8973

The DEX directory in the business and professional listing also contains a separate listing for
Robbinsdale Armstrong High School — 763-504-8800.
Telephone Caller reporting and Response Protocol
ISD 281 has reviewed the existing voice mail messages that are utilized when a telephone caller
calls after business hours. We are implementing some modifications in the voice mail
message system prior to May 1St,
2006. The purpose of the changes is to help clarify the
message delivery options for the caller.
If the caller has a comment or question pertaining to the care of or operation of the Robbinsdale
Armstrong High School facility, that caller or if they prefer their message information is routed
to the respective school district department or entity that is responsible for that response or
action.
If the call is made outside of business hours, the caller is informed by the voice mail system that
they have reached the office outside of business hours. The voice mail message informs the
caller of some options they have for reporting their comment or inquiry including:
Call back during business hours
Contact the Robbinsdale Area Schools website under the "Contact Us" link and submit
their comments or questions.
If this is in regards to afire, life or security emergency, call "911".
Internet Access
The school district has an internet website, www.rdale.kl2.mn.us, which contains a "Contact Us"

District. The publication contains the business address, telephone number and website address
for the school district.
ISD 281 will modify future mailings that include a specific message in the document that
informs the reader that comments or questions can be submitted by contacting the general
information telephone number, a specific school or at the Robbinsdale Area Schools
website. This revision will be effective with the late summer edition of the document.
School Board Meetings
The school board generally has two public meetings per month. Prior to the first meeting each
month the school board offers a listening hour to receive public comments or feedback.
The dates and time for the school board meetings is published annually in the "School
Performances" document that is mailed to addresses in the school district. The school board
meeting dates and times are also identified in the school district website.
I am available to further discuss the existing public comment and inquiry program and to address
any other changes or modifications that the City may propose to ISD 281.

Anne Hurlburt,
I would like the opportunity to weigh in on District 28 l's request for a "thumbs up" on
their construction plans for Armstrong High School, and their request to clear the way for
seventeen additional sporting events for the next school year. The devil is always in the details
with 281.
District 281 met with our neighborhood on numerous occasions to ally concerns and to
seemingly work cooperatively in the construction of their current stadium and fields. It is an
open secret that they then abandoned the agreed upon plans for the playing field adjacent to the
stadium. They expanded the field and negatively impacted our property and the property of
others by taking out a significant number of trees. While acknowledging privately that the tree
loss was deliberate, they allowed the headline in the Sun Sailor to read, "surveying error..." and
have never publicly acknowledged any volitional behavior on their part (a character statement of
some significance).
In response to both the city and the neighborhoods' indignation, they hurriedly made
plans for a brim and some modest replacement planting, but then couldn't manage any
responsible follow-through. Despite numerous calls to both District 281 and Armstrong High
School, we never could get anyone to unroll and lay down the ground cover we could see
awaiting attention at the edge of the brim. After some months, it rotted in place and was quietly
hauled away. Meanwhile, there was significant erosion on the brim and we had a small stream
running through our yard with every rain. Our fence is no longer straight and the footings for
our gate were exposed due to run-off. After numerous calls to 281, two fifteen -year-olds
appeared on the brim one afternoon with a bucket and shovel. They dug a whole about ten feet
from our gate, threw dirt on the footings, and left. Hence District 281 dealt with erosion. We
had to remove portions of the plastic construction fence ourselves because we could not get
anyone to take care of it nearly one year after it was put up.
Then, there was the stadium/field construction itself (and subsequent summer
construction projects). The heavy equipment routinely started up between 4:00 a.m. and 5:00
a.m. Again, despite our numerous calls, we finally resorted to 911 calls and evoked the city
noise ordinance in an effort to deal with the problem. These calls had no lasting impact.
In meetings with our neighborhood and with the city, 281 assured us that all outdoor
sporting events would comply with the city noise ordinance, end by 9:30 p.m., lights out by
10:00 p.m. That has never been consistently followed, but last September District 281 displayed
a contempt for the city and their neighbors by scheduling back-to-back stadium events, the
second of which kicked off at 10:10 p.m. and progressed loudly until after midnight. The
stadium lights were still on at 1:00 a.m. I did talk to city officials at that time and they suggested
that 911 had been an option. Nothing District 281 has done would indicate that they should be
awarded seventeen additional sporting events next season.
Offering District 281 additional construction opportunities is a scary proposition. I
would ask that city official(s) conduct a walk-through and visual review of the survey markers
with District 281 and their contractors on site before any construction activity starts. We would
not want another "surveying error." Without close scrutiny, I envision some neighbor
awakening to find themselves staring at the back of a new scoreboard where a buffer of trees
used to stand. I would ask that the noise ordinance be posted on site. I appreciate you taking the
time to read through this, and I would appreciate your consideration in malting a decision
regarding District 281's request.
Sincerely,
Kathleen George

RESOLUTION 2006 -
APPROVING A SITE PLAN AMENDMENT, CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
AMENDMENT, AND VARIANCES TO ALLOW SITE IMPROVEMENTS FOR
ARMSTRONG HIGH SCHOOL LOCATED AT 10635 36' AVENUE NORTH (2006002)
WHEREAS, Inspec. Inc. has requested approval of a site plan amendment, conditional use
permit amendment, and variances to allow improvements on property legally described as
follows:
The West Half of the Northeast Quarter of the Northwest Quarter of Section 24, Township 118,
Range 22, except that part of the North 275 feet thereof lying East of the West 90 feet thereof.
All that part of Government Lot 1, Section 24, Township 118, Range 22, lying north of the
westerly extension of the North line of the Southeast Quarter of the Northwest Quarter thereof,
expect the North 435 feet thereof, and except the West 416 feet of the North 735 feet of said
Government Lot 1, Section 24, Township 118, Range 22, according to the Government Survey
thereof.
The North Half of the East Half of the Northeast Quarter of the Northwest Quarter of Section 24,
Township 118, Range 22, according to the Government Survey thereof.
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed said request at a duly called public hearing
and recommends approval.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA, that it should and hereby does approve the request by Inspec
Inc. to allow site improvements on property located at 10635 36th Avenue North, subject to the
following conditions:
Resolution 2006
2006002)
Page 2
1. A site plan amendment is approved to allow: 1) a turf surface for the stadium field, 2) a new
grass surface for the junior varsity field, 3) two new tennis courts, and 4) reconstruction of
the western parking lot with a 24 -space parking expansion, in accordance with the plans
received by the City on January 20, 2006, and March 20, 2006, except as may be amended by
this resolution.
2. A conditional use permit amendment is approved to allow one additional football game, 8
additional soccer games, and 16 lacrosse games, based on the findings that the applicable
standards in Section 21015 have been met as follows:
a. The City's Land Use Plan envisions institutional uses such as the Armstrong High School
and a variety of public and private recreational and athletic facilities within the P -I
Public/Semi-Public/Institutional) land use designation. Therefore, the stadium activities
would be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
b. The proposed use would not be detrimental to the general public health, welfare, morals,
or comfort. The intent of the project is to provide a facility for youth athletic activities.
c. The proposed use would not be injurious to the immediately surrounding properties or to
the City as a whole. The existing stadium is screened from residential properties with
existing trees and changes in grade. The applicant is not proposing above grade changes
to the stadium. The increased usage at the stadium with a public address system would
be one football game in the fall and 16 lacrosse games in the spring. The applicant has
proposed to modify the public address system based on a sound study to reduce noise
levels to neighboring properties.
d. The surrounding properties are fully developed and the proposed stadium use would not
impede improvement of the surrounding properties.
The subject site is adequately served by public facilities. Staff has evaluated the traffic
demand for the increased use. Staff notes that traffic is currently not an issue for the four
regularly scheduled varsity football games. Staff finds that the increase of one varsity
football game could be accommodated.
f. The proposed use would comply with the regulations of the P -I zoning district.
g. The proposed use is consistent with all the performance standards outlined in the Zoning
Ordinance subject to the conditions in the attached resolution.
3. Except as amended below, all other conditions found in resolution 94-511 shall remain in
effect.
Resolution 2006
2006002)
Page 3
4. Spectator events utilizing the stadium public address system shall be limited to:
a. five scheduled football games exclusive of post -season competition
b. sixteen home soccer dates exclusive of post -season competition
c. spring graduation
d. track meets as scheduled in previous years
e. all events shall end by 9:30 p.m. with site lighting to be turned off within one-half hour
after the completion of an event
f. sixteen lacrosse games exclusive of post season competition
5. The school district will adjust the operational parameters of the stadium public address
system to reduce the acoustic impact of the public address system on the surrounding
property during the games and events with limited spectators such as for varsity lacrosse,
soccer, and track. The School District shall provide the City data regarding the decibel levels
monitored during the first home football game and soccer game. The City will require
modifications to the public address system if the City finds that there is a negative noise
impact on the surrounding property.
6. Only stadium events listed in condition number four shall utilize the stadium public address
system. Other stadium use activities for physical education, practices, scrimmages and lower
level games may occur in the stadium but they will not include the use of the stadium public
address system.
7. The school shall implement an action plan for the school to process neighborhood complaints
or concerns related to construction and games. The school shall also implement a plan to
communicate to the neighborhood their new process for processing neighborhood
complaints.
8. Variances are approved to allow: 1) 28.3 -percent impervious surface area coverage where the
Zoning Ordinance specifies a maximum of 25 percent, 2) a 312.5 -square foot, 20.5 -high
scoreboard, where the Zoning Ordinance specifies a maximum surface area of 150 -square
feet, and a maximum height of 16 feet, and 3) a 26 -square foot electronic message board with
14 -inch letters, where the Zoning Ordinance specifies a maximum surface area of six square
feet, and a maximum height letter height of 4 -inches, based on the findings that:
a. The physical surroundings of the property create a unique hardship, as distinguished from
a mere inconvenience. Construction of additional parking in other locations of the school
property is not reasonable given the layout of the existing school building and facilities,
and given the steep slopes and wooded areas on the site. In addition, the applicant has
proposed to mitigate the increased impervious surface with a bioretention basin on the
west side of the westerly parking lot. In addition, due to the size of the football field
stadium, the applicant requires a larger scoreboard and message board in order to make
the display visible to all players and spectators.
Resolution 2006
2006002)
Page 4
b. The conditions relating to the hardship are not generally applicable to other properties in
the P -I zoning district. The location of the school building and facilities on the site
present a unique hardship. If the school building and parking lot were constructed on the
east end of the site and the athletic fields on the west end of the site, there would not be a
need for the variance. In addition, the size of the high school and associated stadium
field creates the need for the larger scoreboard and message board.
c. The purpose of the variances is not based upon a desire to increase the value or income
potential of the parcel of land. The proposed parking lot addition would provide
additional parking spaces for school faculty. The larger scoreboard and message board
would be visible to all players and spectators in the bleachers.
d. The hardship is caused by the Zoning Ordinance and was not self-created.
e. The variances would allow a reasonable use of the land and would not be detrimental to
the public welfare or injurious to other land in the neighborhood. The applicants are
proposing to mitigate the increased impervious surface with the addition of the
bioretention basin that would treat the increased impervious surface before entering
Medicine Lake. The proposed scoreboard and message board would be located in the
same location as the existing scoreboard at the northeast corner of the stadium. The face
of the scoreboard would not be visible from the adjacent homes south of the field due to
grade and an existing wooded area.
f. The variance would not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property, or
substantially increase the congestion of the public streets, or increase the danger of fire,
or endanger the public safety, or substantially diminish or impair property values within
the neighborhood.
g. The variance is the minimum necessary in order to provide parking for the school's
faculty. The variance is the minimum necessary in order to install a scoreboard and
message board that is visible to all players and spectators at the game.
9. The electronic message board display shall not blink, flash, scroll, alternate colors or feature
animated displays.
10. Except as approved by this resolution, the scoreboard and electronic message board shall
comply with all sign regulations of Section 21155 of the Zoning Ordinance.
11. Prior to commencement of the excavation/filling operation and related grading, the applicant
shall obtain a grading permit from the City.
12. Prior to issuance of a grading permit, a site improvement performance agreement and
financial guarantee shall be submitted pursuant to Section 21045.10 of the Zoning Ordinance.
Resolution 2006
2006002)
Page 5
13. Prior to issuance of a grading permit, the applicant shall revise their plans to show handicap
parking stalls in compliance with the building code.
14. Prior to issuance of a grading permit, the applicant shall revise their plans to show the
western parking lot islands with landscaping. Trees are not required in the landscape islands.
The applicant shall also move the proposed trees west of the western parking to locations that
will not obstruct views to Medicine Lake from the single family homes to the north.
15. Prior to issuance of a grading permit, the applicant shall provide the following easements:
a. A 40 -foot wide drainage and utility easement for the riprap overflow discharge from the
water quality pond and southerly to the south property line. This easement shall include
the entire drainage channel south of the pond.
b. A 15 -foot wide unobstructed access easement not exceeding a 15 % grade from a public
street for the rain garden, and to the water quality pond inlets, and outlet.
c. A drainage and utility easement for the water quality pond and the rain garden to the high
water level.
d. A 20 -foot wide drainage and utility easement over the existing storm sewer pipe that
provides an outlet for the Armstrong Ridge development. The easement shall follow the
pipe southerly to its discharge into the channel south of the water quality pond.
e. A 20 -foot drainage and utility easement over the storm sewer outlet pipe for the water
quality pond.
16. Prior to issuance of a grading permit, the applicant shall televise the storm sewer pipe that
flows from the Armstrong Ridge inlet located along the north property line. The pipe shall
be televised to its discharge into the channel near the south property line.
17. Prior to issuance of a grading permit, the applicant shall provide a rain garden maintenance
and parking lot sweeping agreement.
18. Prior to issuance of a grading permit, the applicant shall obtain all appropriate permits from
the Bassett Creek Water Management Commission, NPDES, and the City of Plymouth
Engineering Department to work in street right of way.
19. Ribbon curb is indicated for several locations to facilitate sheet flow to the rain garden.
B612 curb is typically required. Prior to issuance of a grading permit, the Bassett Creek
Water Management Commission must approve the ribbon curb and rain garden.
Resolution 2006
2006002)
Page 6
20. Prior to issuance of a grading permit, the applicant shall revise the plans to indicate the
following:
a. Submit a description on the grading plan of how increased volumes of runoff due to the
proposed development would be minimized by limiting impervious cover and
encouraging infiltration of storm water where soil conditions are appropriate.
b. Submit a description on the grading plan of how alternative landscape techniques and
materials will reduce rates and volumes of runoff.
c. Identify on the grading plan all reasonable steps to avoid water quality impact and
mitigate with appropriate best management practices (BMPs) to prevent water quality in
receiving waters from falling below established standards.
d. The water quality pond must provide skimming and rate control. Demonstrate that the
current conditions accomplish this, if they do not, an approved structure must be
installed consistent with the City standards. This must be clearly noted on the
construction plans prior to issuance of a grading permit.
e. Provide elevations for the bottom of the water quality pond. If the elevations are less
than 925, then sediment removal is required. This must be noted on the plans. Care must
be taken to insure adequate cover over the existing storm sewer pipe located in the
water quality pond.
f. The planting schedule for the rain garden must be included on the plans.
g. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan must be incorporated into the plans, rather
than a stand-alone attachment.
h. The plans include an access/curb cut on 36"' Avenue, east of Saratoga Lane. This
access is not allowed because 36th Avenue is designated as a major collector roadway
with limited access. Revise plans to remove the access from plans.
21. Separate building permits are required prior to the commencement of any construction of the
scoreboard and tennis court fencing related to the project.
22. All damaged pipe or manhole structures for the storm sewer that flows from the Armstrong
Ridge inlet located along the north property line to its discharge into the channel near the
south property shall be repaired to City specifications. As built information shall be provided
to the City. The City will assume reasonability for this storm sewer pipe upon satisfaction of
these requirements and recording of the easement.
23. All drive aisles must be constructed to a minimum of a 7 ton design. The remainder of the
parking lot must be constructed to a minimum of a 5 ton design. Show a cross section for this
and include MNDOT specifications.
24. All fill added to the school property shall consist of earthen material and shall not consist of
garbage, animal or vegetable refuse, poisons, contaminants, chemicals, decayed material,
filth, sewage or similar septic or biologically dangerous material.
Resolution 2006
2006002)
Page 7
25. Trucks hauling fill to the property or off the property will operate Monday through Friday
between 8:30 AM and 3:30 PM. On site grading work shall occur between 7:00 AM and
7:00 PM Mondays through Friday, and between 8:00 AM and 6:00 PM on Saturdays.
26. The applicant shall complete all filling, related grading, and site restoration including seeding
to establish a vegetative ground cover within six months from the date of approval of the
interim use permit by the City Council.
27. Standard Conditions:
a. Any subsequent phases or expansions are subject to required reviews and approvals per
Ordinance provisions.
b. The permit is subject to all applicable codes, regulations and ordinances, and violation
thereof shall be grounds for revocation.
c. The site plan amendment, conditional use permit amendment, and variance approvals
shall expire one year after the date of approval, unless the property owner or applicant
has substantially started construction of the project, or unless the landowner or applicant
has received prior approval from the City to extend the expiration date for up to one
additional year, as regulated under Sections 21045.09, 21015.07, and 21030.06 of the
Zoning Ordinance.

FROM: Ross A. Beckwith, P.E., Assistant City Engineer
SUBJECT: APPROVE PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS
2006 TEMPORARY OVERLAY PROJECT
CITY PROJECT NO. 6109
ACTION REQUESTED: Make a motion to adopt the attached resolution approving plans and
specifications and ordering advertisement for bids for the above referenced project.
BACKGROUND: Last year was the first year the City implemented the Temporary Overlay
Program and six miles of streets were successfully overlaid. This year, the Temporary Overlay
Program will continue to overlay streets that are in poor condition and are not on any schedule to
be reconstructed in the next few years. Overlaying these streets should provide another five plus
years of life before they need to be included in a reconstruction project.
Engineering and Public Works staff recently inspected the pavement conditions of prospective
candidates for the temporary overlay, and construction plans and specifications were then
prepared by the Engineering Department. The streets will be edge milled 4 feet from the existing
concrete gutter and then overlaid with 1.5" to 2" of bituminous pavement. Striping and
pavement markings that are paved over will also be repainted as part of this project.
The following street segments are included in this project and can also be seen on the attached
map:
STREET FROM TO
Medina Road Vicksburg Lane Niagara Lane
Campus Drive Xenium Lane Northwest Boulevard
TT Avenue Plymouth Boulevard Harbor Lane
This project is scheduled to be substantially complete by August 18, 2006. Once a contractor has
been hired and a schedule is determined, notification will be sent to the adjacent property owners
describing the project and the approximate timeline.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
DATE: April 14, 2006 for the City Council Meeting of April 25, 2006
TO: Laurie Ahrens, City Manager through
Doran Cote, P.E., Director of Public Works
FROM: Ross Beckwith, P.E., Assistant City Engineer
SUBJECT: AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR AND CITY MANAGER TO SIGN A
GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM (GPS) RECEIVER
AGREEMENT WITH CITY OF MINNETONKA
ACTION REQUESTED: Make a motion to adopt the attached resolution authorizing the
Mayor and City Manager to enter into an agreement with the City of Minnetonka to use their
GPS receiver tower for 5 years.
BACKGROUND: In November 2004, the City of Minnetonka purchased a GPS system for the
mapping of their storm sewer system. Partof this system includes an antennae tower mounted
on the rooftop of Minnetonka City Hall. The antennae gives the City far greater accuracy and
better range than traditional GSP systems that utilize satellites only. The transmission range for
this tower extends well beyond the municipal limits of the City of Minnetonka.
In February 2006, the City of Plymouth purchased a similar GPS system primarily for our pond
maintenance inventory, but also for inventory of the City's utility system, knowing that the City
of Minnetonka already had an antennae tower in-place. Since the signal range on Minnetonka's
tower is more than adequate for our GPS system, it would be prudent to enter into an agreement
with the City of Minnetonka and share in the operating cost of their tower. On March 27, 2006,
the City of Minnetonka authorized their Mayor and City Manager to enter into a shared
agreement with the City of Plymouth. This agreement is for a 5 -year period at a cost of $2,500
per year, and has been reviewed by our City Attorney.
BUDGET IMPACT: The total annual use fee to the City of Minnetonka is $2,500. The
following 3 funds will split the cost, Water Resources (50%), Public Works Utility (25%) and
Design Engineering (25%).
RECOMMENDATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS: I recommend the City Council adopt the
attached resolution authorizing the Mayor and City Manager to sign the GPS Use Agreement.
This agreement will not be recorded against any specific parcel.
attachments: Agreement
Resolution
0:\Engineering\GENERAL\MEMOS\STEVED\CC_4 25_06_GPSagreement.doe
AGREEMENT FOR USE OF GPS RECEIVER
This agreement is between the city of Minnetonka ("Minnetonka") and the city of
Plymouth ("Plymouth"), both of which are Minnesota municipal corporations with the
power to cooperatively exercise municipal powers pursuant to Minn. Stat. §471.59.
1. Purpose. Minnetonka owns and maintains a Leica GPS 1200 global
positioning system (GPS) receiver on the top of its city hall at 14600 Minnetonka
Boulevard in Minnetonka ("the Receiver"). Plymouth wishes to use data from this
receiver to establish GPS coordinates to use with their field collection of GPS data in
Plymouth.
2. Connection to Receiver. Minnetonka agrees to allow Plymouth to
connect to the software associated with the Receiver and to use the data obtained from
the Receiver for the purpose stated above.
3. Fee. Plymouth will pay Minnetonka $2500 per year on or before May 15th
of each year that this agreement is in effect.
4. Term. This agreement will begin May 15, 2006, and remain in effect until
May 14, 2011, unless terminated under paragraph 5 below.
5. Termination. Either city may terminate this agreement at any time by
giving 90 days advance written notice of termination to the other party. Plymouth will be
entitled to a pro -rata refund of the fee that it has paid if this agreement is terminated
because of no fault on Plymouth's part. Either party may terminate this agreement as a
result of the other party's failure to comply with any provision of this agreement by
giving 30 days advance written notice.
6. Liability. Although every attempt will be made to provide continuous,
accurate data within the limitations of the system, Minnetonka cannot guarantee, and
has no liability for, the availability and accuracy of data from the Receiver.
7. Liability Limitation. Neither party to this agreement will be required to
pay on behalf of itself and the other party any amount as indemnification, arising by
operation of law or otherwise, in excess of the limits of liability applicable to the party
required to pay as established in Minnesota Statutes Chapter 466, or in the event that
Minnesota Statutes Chapter 466 does not apply, the maximum amount of insurance
coverage available to the party required to pay. The limits of liability for the parties may
not be added together to increase the maximum amount of liability for any party. The
intent of this section is to limit a party's obligation to indemnify the other party if such
indemnification arises by operation of law or otherwise. In those instances in which a
party is directly liable for damages as well as for indemnification to the other party, the
combined liability of the party will not exceed the limits of liability under Minnesota
Statutes Chapter 466 applicable to the liable party or in the event that Minnesota
Statutes Chapter 466 does not apply, the maximum amount of insurance coverage
available to the liable party.
8. Amendment. This agreement may be amended only in writing signed by
the parties.
9. Notices. All notices required or permitted in this agreement and required
to be in writing must be given by first class mail addressed to the relevant city manager
at the relevant city hall.

TO: Laurie Ahrens, City Manager through Jean McGaa r1`Director of Administrative
Services
FROM: Pat J. Qvale, Public Services ManageAROE SSSUBJECT: REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP) FOR PLYMOUTH
METROLINK TRANSIT SERVICES
ACTION REQUESTED: Approve request for proposal (RFP) process for Plymouth Metrolink
transit services.
BACKGROUND: Plymouth Metrolink has undertaken three major initiatives in 2006. First,
Station 73, the first transit facility for Plymouth Metrolink is scheduled for completion in August.
Staff is currently developing the service plan to provide transit service in and out of this new
facility. A public hearing is planned at the Plymouth Advisory Cormnittee on Transit (PACT) on
April 26, 2006 to notify residents and riders of the service changes.
Second, the purchase of eleven new 40 -foot commuter buses is scheduled for production this
summer. Delivery of the new fleet is scheduled for late July and early August.
Finally in an effort to reduce operating cost, the long range plan for Plymouth Metrolink is to bid
out transit services at the end of the current contract period ending December 31, 2006.
Plymouth Metrolink currently contracts with Laidlaw Transit Services, Inc. for the Dial -A -Ride,
neighborhood shuttle, and two downtown commuter services. The current provider of the
remaining commuter service and reverse commuter service to and from downtown Minneapolis
is Metro Transit.
With the delivery of the dedicated fleet in August, this presents the opportunity to bid out the
services effective December 2, 2006. Service changes in the metropolitan region are conducted
at predetermined intervals four times per year. Both contract providers have been notified of the
potential early withdraw of the current contracts, and have expressed interest in bidding on the
next contract.
BUDGET IMPACT: Transit services are currently budgeted at $3.7 million in 2006. This
represents 90% of the transit operating budget. The transit operating funds provided through
motor vehicles sales taxes remain unstable. As a protection against future declines in operating
revenue, an early bid of services should be an operating cost benefit.

SUBJECT: Greenwood School Parking Lot Expansion
1. ACTION REQUESTED: The City Council should pass the attached resolution approving
bid to Omann Brothers Construction in the amount of $75,717.61 for the expansion of the
parking lot at Greenwood Elementary School.
2. BACKGROUND: In 2005 (see the attached memo), the City Council authorized that the
bidding for this project be delayed until the spring of 2006. The estimates we were getting at
that time were running $80,000 or more. We're very happy to receive a bid of $75,717.61
from Omann Brothers. In total, we received 10 bids as shown below:
Barber Construction 104,562.00
Bituminous Roadways 95,968.75
FPI Paving 94,916.10
Hardrives 91,527.90
Northwest Asphalt 89,553.26
Midwest Asphalt 88,251.05
Buffalo Bituminous 84,946.50
Buck Blacktop 81,991.75
DMJ Corporation 76,927.25
Omann Brothers 75,717.61
I've talked with Joe Mattson, the building and grounds supervisor for the Wayzata School
District and they have again agreed to pay half the project cost, which comes to $37,858.80.
Our half of the funding will come from Park Dedication.
3. ALTERNATIVES: The Council could reject all the bids and delay the project further or
postpone it indefinitely.
4. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the bid be awarded to Omann Brothers in
the amount of $75,717.61.

FROM: Eric Blank, Director of Parks and Recreation
DATE: September 6, 2005, for Council Meeting of September 13
SUBJECT: Greenwood School/Park Parking Lot Expansion
1. ACTION REQUESTED: The City Council should pass the attached resolution authorizing
the Director of Parks and Recreation to hold off bidding the installation of the parking lot at
Greenwood School until the spring of 2006.
2. BACKGROUND: Earlier this year, the City Council authorized the Director of Parks and
Recreation to proceed with the expansion of the parking lot at Greenwood School/Park. The
cost of the project was to be shared on a 50/50 basis with the Wayzata School District. At
that time, it was estimated that the cost of the project would be about $54,000, or about
27,000 for each partner. We have now received quotes on this work, and the lowest price
for the project has come in at approximately $80,000. We have talked with representatives
of the Wayzata School District, and they have agreed to continue to fund half the project, or
approximately $40,000. At this time, we need to know whether the City Council wishes to
proceed with the project with our half being approximately $40,000 also.
3. ALTERNATIVES: The project could be postponed indefinitely, or we could go out for
sealed bids in March of next year for the 2006 construction season.
4. RECOMMENDATION: We recommend that the project be rebid next March. We think
this is our best chance of getting a lower price. Once the bids are in, the City Council can
decide to award or not award the bid at that time.

Director
SUBJECT: CSM Corporation. Comprehensive Plan Amendment and PUD Sketch
Review for property located at the northwest corner of State Highway 55 and
County Road 61 (a/k/a Northwest Boulevard) (20060 11)
DATE: April 14, 2006 for the City Council meeting of April 25, 2006
REVIEW DEADLINE: June 29, 2006
1. PROPOSED MOTION:
Move to adopt the, following two attached items for the vacant 4.9 -acre development site located
at the northwest corner of Highway 55 and Northwest Boulevard, as recommended by the
Planning Commission:
1) a resolution approving a Comprehensive Plan amendment to reguide the subject
development site from IP (Planned Industrial) to C (Commercial) on the City's land use
guide plan map; and
2) a resolution providing informal comments on a PUD (Planned Unit Development) sketch
for commercial development.
Approval of a Comprehensive Plan amendment requires a 5/7 vote of the City Council, and
approval of a resolution providing comments on a PUD sketch requires a 4/7 vote.
2. DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST:
CSM Corporation is requesting approval of a Comprehensive Plan amendment to reguide the site
from IP (Planned Industrial) to C (Commercial). The applicant is also requesting comments on a
PUD (Planned Unit Development) sketch showing a 39,000 square foot retail commercial center
on the site.
File 2006011
Page 2
3. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING:
On April 5, 2006, the Planning Commission conducted the public hearing on the reguiding
request and subsequently voted unanimously to recommend its approval. The applicant was
present in support of the request. No one from the public wished to speak on the matter.
Regarding the PUD sketch, the Commission commented that the developer should provide a trail
along Northwest Boulevard, and sidewalks along Annapolis Circle and Campus Drive to
accommodate pedestrian access in the area. That comment has been incorporated into the
attached resolution for the PUD sketch review. A copy of the Planning Commission minutes is
attached.
Notice of the Planning Commission's public hearing was published in the City's official
newspaper and mailed to all property owners within 750 feet. The notification area map is
attached. Development signage remains on the site.

B. Natural Characteristics of Site
This development site is located in the Bassett Creek Drainage District. It does not contain any
land within the Shoreland or Flood Plain Overlay District, nor does it contain any wetlands. The
majority of the site was graded in 1982, and a storm water pond was installed in the east portion
of the site at that time. Since then, several species of volunteer softwood trees (e.g., cottonwood,
box elder, elm, basswood) have grown on the site. More discussion of the trees is provided in
the PUD sketch review section of this report.
C. Previous Actions Affecting Site
This development site is located within the Northwest Business Campus PUD, which was
established in 1981. The PUD encompasses roughly 170 acres of land, and includes the
Radisson Hotel/Conference Center (with 243 rooms), a multi -story glass office tower with
File 2006011
Page 3
parking ramp, WestHealth medical complex, ten office/warehouse buildings, and seven
commercial buildings (Holiday gas/convenience store, Jiffy Lube, bank, real estate office, and
restaurants). The subject site is the last vacant parcel in the PUD. Although this parcel is
presently guided for industrial use, the PUD plans have never indicated an industrial use on the
site. The most recent PUD plan for the parcel indicates a 70,000 square foot multi -story medical
services/office development including a bank (see attached PUD plans from 1990 and 1993).
5. LEVEL OF CITY DISCRETION IN DECISION-MAKING:
The City has a high level of discretion in approving or denying amendments to the
Comprehensive Plan. The land use guide plan is a major element of the City's Comprehensive
Plan. The land use guide plan is the City's long-range planning tool that indicates what type of
development should occur on all land within the City. In other words, it is the City's plan for
how it wants to direct future development. The City Council may guide property as it deems
necessary to protect and promote the health, safety and general welfare of the community.
The City has a high level of discretion in reviewing a PUD sketch. A PUD sketch is not
approved or denied, but rather review of a PUD sketch allows an applicant to solicit informal
comments from the City regarding a development proposal—prior to developing detailed plans
and submitting a PUD general plan application. Any opinions or comments provided to the
applicant by the staff, Planning Commission, or City Council are considered advisory only and
do not constitute a binding decision.
6. ANALYSIS OF PROPOSAL:
A. Comprehensive Plan Amendment
The applicant is requesting a Comprehensive Plan amendment to reguide this 4.9 -acre
development site from IP (Planned Industrial) to C (Commercial).
When reviewing requests to amend the land use guide plan, the City must analyze and consider
the follows items:
the extent to which the location criteria of the existing and proposed land use guide plan
classifications are satisfied;
information that supports re-examination of the Comprehensive Plan;
land supply and demand;
demonstration that the amendment has merit beyond the interests of the proponent;
impact of the amendment on other Comprehensive Plan elements (i.e., transportation,
sewers, water supply, water quality, housing, and parks); and
the amendment's fiscal impact on the City.
File 2006011

Location Criteria
This section outlines the specific location criteria for the current industrial guiding and proposed
commercial guiding (refer to attached criteria), and then analyzes how the subject site fits those
criteria.
IP (Planned Industrial)
The IP (Planned Industrial) guiding designation provides for industrial uses including
manufacturing, production, processing, servicing, warehousing, wholesaling, distribution, and
repair or testing of materials, goods, or products.
The location criteria for industrial guiding specify that industrial land should be located in areas
with access to principal or minor arterial roadways. The plan also states that industrially guided
sites should be near other intensive land uses (e.g., service business, high-density residential,
etc.).
C (Commercial)
The C (Commercial) guiding designation provides for a wide variety of commercial uses
including those for convenience, neighborhood and community shopping, service/auto-oriented,
and bulk retail. In order to address the wide variety of commercial uses, the Plan identifies four
sub -categories of commercial uses, as follows:
limited scale commercial (provides for basic convenience -type goods and services offered
to the immediately surrounding areas where they are located);
neighborhood/community commercial (neighborhood- and community -scale shopping
centers that provide for retail goods and services);
highway commercial (provides for services and limited goods primarily oriented toward
the motorist); and
commercial/industrial (provides for large volume or bulk wholesale/retail items such as
auto dealerships).
In this particular case, the applicable sub -category would be "neighborhood/community
commercial" because the proposed development would provide retail goods and services of a
scale to serve the neighboring areas and community as a whole.
The location criteria for neighborhood/community commercial guiding specify that this type of
commercial land should be at the intersections of arterial roadways or major collector roadways.
File 2006011
Page 5
Analysis
The site is located at the intersection of State Highway 55 and County Road 61 (a/k/a Northwest
Boulevard), both of which are classified as arterial roadways. Consequently, the site meets the
location criteria for either industrial or commercial use. It is not unusual for a site to meet the
location criteria of more than one guide plan designation.
The close proximity to other existing commercial development and employment centers indicates
that the site is well positioned for commercial development. This site's location at the
intersection of two major roadways makes it highly visible in the community. Furthermore, the
site is prominently located at a major entrance into the PUD, and therefore provides an
opportunity to establish a project that makes a high-quality impression for the overall PUD.
These factors suggest that the site may be better suited for a commercial development than for an
industrial development.
Re-examination of the Comprehensive Plan
During the most recent Comprehensive Plan update in August of 2000, the City did not
contemplate reguiding this vacant development site because there were no pending development
plans. The current landowner (WestHealth) recently determined that they no longer need the site
and has offered it for sale. The applicant (CSM Corporation) has the site is under a purchase
agreement. The applicant has provided a sketch showing that they propose to develop the site
with commercial uses. Furthermore, although the parcel is presently guided for industrial use,
the most recent PUD plans from the early 1990's suggest that industrial uses were not
contemplated for this site (they show a 70,000 square foot multi -story medical services/office
development including a bank). Therefore, construction of the development shown on the most
recent PUD plans would also require a reguiding of the site order to resolve the current
inconsistency between the industrial guiding and PUD. Consequently, now is an appropriate
time to consider reguiding of this site.
Land Supply and Demand
Plymouth has a limited supply of vacant land in all guiding designations. A review of the City's
Land Use Guide Plan Map indicates that there is a relatively small amount of land guided for
commercial uses. Roughly 2.3 percent of the land in the City (526 acres) is presently guided "C".
Almost all of that land supply is already developed, leaving little opportunity for additional
commercial development without reguiding. By comparison, roughly 7.7 percent of the land in
the City (1,762 acres) is presently guided for industrial uses. Most of the industrial land supply is
already developed as well. Typically, suburban cities of Plymouth's size and population have
more balance between the amount of land devoted to commercial versus industrial use.
The site's high visibility from major roadways is an attribute that is more closely associated with,
and generally required for commercial developments rather than industrial developments. Lastly,
reguiding of the site would not adversely affect the industrial land supply.
File 2006011
Page 6
Merit of the Project
Economic vitality and a diversified economic base are important to the welfare of all
communities. A goal of the City's Comprehensive Plan is to provide a balance among land uses,
and to provide a broad range of consumer goods. A commercial development would
complement the existing commercial development and employment centers in the area, serving
those who work and live in the area.
Impact on other Comprehensive Plan Elements
1) Transportation:
As part of any reguiding application, the City requires a traffic study to determine potential
impacts on the adjacent roadway system. The City's transportation consultant, SRF Consulting
Group, Inc., conducted the study (copy attached).
The traffic study included a capacity analysis of peak -hour traffic on the key intersections to
determine the existing Level of Service (LOS) — and the LOS under the proposed development
one year after construction. The traffic study also identified improvements needed for the
project.
Capacity analysis results identify a Level of Service (LOS) that indicates the quality of traffic
flow through an intersection. Intersections are given a ranking from LOS A to LOS F. LOS A
indicates the best traffic operation, with vehicles experiencing minimal or no delays. Drivers
generally consider LOS A through LOS D to be acceptable. LOS E indicates that an intersection
is operating at, or very near its capacity and vehicles experience substantial delays during the
peak traffic hour. LOS F indicates an intersection where demand exceeds capacity, or a
breakdown of traffic flow.
The key intersections that were reviewed include 1) Highway 55/County Road 61 (a/k/a
Northwest Boulevard)—a signalized intersection, 2) County Road 61/Campus Drive—a
signalized intersection, and 3) Campus Drive/Annapolis Circle—a side -street stop controlled
intersection (northbound travelers on Annapolis Circle must stop at the "T" intersection with
Campus drive—which does not have any stop signs at this intersection).
The traffic study did not include traffic modeling for an industrial development, because although
the site is guided IP, the PUD plans for this development have never contemplated an industrial
use at this site. The traffic study included traffic modeling for the proposed 39,000 retail
development, and for a hotel use with restaurants on the site. The proposed 39,000 square foot
retail development was used for the capacity analysis, because modeling showed that use would
be the higher traffic generator.
File 2006011
Page 7
The traffic study found that the Highway 55/County Road 61 intersection currently operates at
LOS F during the peak traffic hour (PM peak) with the existing traffic controls and geometric
layout. The traffic study found that one year after completion/opening of the proposed
development, the level of service at this intersection could be improved to LOS E with
optimization of the signal timing, which would need to be approved by Mn/DOT. The study also
determined that no other minor geometric improvements are feasible to increase capacity at this
intersection. The study did note that, consistent with the Trunk Highway 55 Future Traffic
Demand Study, reconstruction of Highway 55 to a six -lane facility from east of the site to
Fernbrook Lane, or grade -separated intersections, would significantly improve operations along
this general segment of the Highway 55 corridor during peak travel periods. However, neither
the State, County, nor City presently has funding for such improvements.
The traffic study found that the County Road 61/Campus Drive intersection currently operates at
LOS D during the peak traffic hour (PM peak) with the existing traffic controls and geometric
layout. The traffic study found that one year after the completion/opening of the proposed
development, the level of service at this intersection could be improved to LOS C with
optimization of the signal timing (to accommodate the change in traffic patterns from the
proposed development), which would need to be approved by Hennepin County. However, this
intersection would operate at an acceptable level of service with or without optimization of the
signal timing.
The traffic study found that one year after completion/opening of the proposed development, the
level of service at the Campus Drive/Annapolis Circle intersection would continue to operate at
an acceptable level of service. Nevertheless, this intersection should be monitored to determine
the need for future traffic controls due to moderate side -street delays.
Lastly, the traffic study noted that no significant issues were identified on the sketch. However,
the study noted that the driveways serving the development and the drive aisles within the
development should be reviewed to ensure adequate turning radii. The attached resolution
providing comments on the sketch includes a comment addressing this matter.
One other traffic -related issue involves on -street vehicle stacking related to the adjacent
McDonald's restaurant. During the noon peak hour, the McDonald's drive-thru lane often
overflows onto the public street (Annapolis Circle) which serves that site. Occasionally, the back
up is far enough onto the street that it affects the area near the southernmost curb cut shown on
the sketch for the subject development site. Staff has held meetings with representatives of
McDonald's regarding this issue. McDonald's is working toward a resolution of the issue. They
are working with WestHealth in the hopes of obtaining roughly 70 feet additional of land on the
west side of the McDonald's site. That acquisition would allow them to modify the site to install
a two-lane drive up, which would roughly double the amount of vehicle stacking they could
accommodate on the site. This issue remains separate from the reguiding application, because
CSM (the applicant for the subject development site) has no control over McDonald's and
because the stacking in the street would be an issue regardless of whether the site is developed
File 2006011
Page 8
for industrial or commercial use. Staff will continue to work with representatives of McDonald's
and WestHealth to try to resolve the vehicle stacking issue in the street. Staff notes that however
that issue is resolved, a city -approved turn -around would need to be maintained for Annapolis
Circle.
2) Sewers, Water Supply, and Water Quality:
The proposed reguiding would not have any negative impacts on the sanitary sewer system or
water supply. Regardless of the site's land use guiding, any development would be required to
comply with the City's water quality standards.
3) Housing:
The proposed reguiding would not have any negative impacts on the City's housing plan.
4) Parks/Trails:
Any development of this site, regardless of its guiding, would require payment of park dedication
fees in lieu of land dedication prior to issuance of building permits. Furthermore, any
development of this site, regardless of its guiding, would require that a trail and trail easement be
provided along Northwest Boulevard, as indicated on the City's trail plan. This trail is discussed
further in the PUD sketch review section of this report. The proposed reguiding would not have
any negative impacts on the City's park or trail plan.
Fiscal Impact on the City
Any required infrastructure improvements would be paid for by the development. The proposed
reguiding would not have any negative fiscal impacts on the City.
Conclusion on the Reguiding Request
The Planning Commission and staff support the requested land use guide plan amendment to
reguide the subject property from IP (Planned Industrial) to C (Commercial), based upon the
following findings:
1. The site meets the location criteria for C guiding because it is located at the intersection of
two arterial roadways. The close proximity to other existing commercial development and
employment centers indicates that the site is well positioned for commercial development.
Furthermore, the site is prominently located at a major entrance into the PUD, and therefore
provides an opportunity to establish a project that makes a high-quality impression for the
overall PUD. These factors suggest that the site may be better suited for a commercial
development than for an industrial development.
File 2006011
Page 9
2. The proposed development and vacant status of the parcel, together with the current
inconsistency between the industrial guiding and most recent PUD plans, support a re-
examination of the guiding of the site at this time.
3. Reguiding of this 4.9 -acre site would not adversely affect the industrial land supply.
Furthermore, the site's prime location at the intersection of Highway 55 and Northwest
Boulevard makes it highly visible in the community. That attribute is not required for
industrial developments but is more closely associated with, and generally required for retail
commercial uses.
4. The proposed development would complement the existing commercial development and
employment centers in the area, serving those who work and live in the area.
5. The proposed reguiding would not have any negative impacts on the other comprehensive
plan elements.
6. The proposed reguiding would not have any negative fiscal impacts on the City.
B. PUD Sketch Review
The subject development site is zoned PUD (Planned Unit Development). A PUD is a
customized zoning district that provides the City with a high level of regulatory control. If the.
reguiding is approved, the applicant would then need to apply for a PUD general plan
amendment to allow a development similar to the one shown in the attached PUD sketch. The
applicant would need to submit detailed plans in the future, and a separate public hearing would
be conducted by the Planning Commission on the PUD general plan amendment, prior to the
City Council's consideration.
The PUD sketch indicates a 39,000 -square foot retail commercial development, as follows:
Building A —13,000 sq. ft. retail building, one-story, multi -tenant
Building B —16,000 sq. ft. retail building, one-story, multi -tenant
Building_C —10,000 sq. ft. one-story building for bank with drive-thru service and shared
office use
Site Layout
The PUD sketch shows that the buildings would be placed near the streets, with the majority of
the parking spaces placed away from major streets. The proposed site arrangement would help to
create a strong identity for this major entrance into the PUD. An outdoor plaza would be located
between Buildings A and B, near the intersection of Highway 55 and Northwest Boulevard. The
plaza would allow for outdoor dining and would create landscaping opportunities and visual
interest.
File 2006011
Page 10
Building Materials/Design
The primary building materials would be brick and glass. Facade undulations and varying roof
heights with decorative cornices would provide a high quality appearance. The proposed
building materials and design would complement the architectural features of the WestHealth
campus to provide a cohesive development. The buildings would include tower elements at the
key corners. The one-story buildings would include pedestrian -scale elements such as canvas
awnings, ornamental light fixtures, and decorative planters.
Because this development site is located at a key intersection, the design of the building facades
should also address the streets. The attached resolution providing comments on the sketch
includes a comment that the appearance of the building elevations that face the streets should be
designed to better address the street frontages, by providing a design that is more consistent with
the other elevations of the buildings.
Setbacks
The required setbacks in a PUD are flexible and would be established by the PUD general plan,
as may be amended. The sketch plan shows that Building A would be set back roughly 28 feet
from the south lot line abutting Highway 55, and that Building B would be setback roughly 38
feet from the east lot line along Northwest Boulevard at its closest point. Building C would be
setback roughly 100 feet from the east lot line along Northwest Boulevard, and roughly 57 feet
from the north lot line along Campus Drive at its closest point. The sketch shows that parking
would be set back roughly 25 feet from the west lot line, 20 feet from the east lot line, and as
close as 10 feet from the north lot line. The setbacks proposed for this smaller -scale commercial
development seem to be acceptable in this setting.
Mn/DOT has not yet analyzed whether they may need additional right-of-way along this segment
of Highway 55, to accommodate long-term future growth of the region. If the reguiding is
approved, the applicant's next step would be to submit a formal application for site plan
approval. Upon receipt of such an application, the proposed site plan would be forwarded to
Mn/DOT in order to obtain their review comments prior to the City's granting of any
development approvals.
Site Access
The sketch shows two driveways (curb cuts) from Annapolis Circle to accommodate convenient
access to the buildings within the development. The proposed driveway locations are acceptable.
File 2006011
Page 11
Parking
The City would require 195 parking spaces for this development. The sketch indicates 207
parking spaces on the site. Therefore, parking shown on the sketch would exceed the City's
minimum parking requirement.
Landscaping/Trees
The landscaping plan that was provided with the sketch indicates 32 overstory trees, with an
equivalency of over 44 trees when the ornamental trees and the numerous shrubs and perennials
are counted. The landscaping plan would exceed the City's requirement of 39 trees.
As previously noted, the majority of the site was graded in 1982 and a storm water pond was
installed in the east portion of the site at that time. Since then, several species of volunteer
softwood trees have grown on the site.
The site is presently platted. The applicant has not yet determined whether they would leave the
site as one lot, or whether they would request to subdivide the site to create separate parcels. If
the site is subdivided, it would be subject to the City's tree preservation regulations—which
require preservation of at least 25 percent of the significant trees, or reforestation and/or
monetary restitution for any removal beyond that threshold. (A significant tree is defined as a
tree that is eight inches or larger in diameter for deciduous trees, or four inches or larger in
diameter for coniferous trees.) The applicant has provided a tree survey that indicates the
location, size, and species of all significant trees on the site. The site includes roughly, 75
significant trees. Additionally, the site includes numerous trees that do not meet the definition of
a significant tree, and therefore, were not shown of the tree survey. Under the plan, all trees
would be removed from the site. If the applicant would request to subdivide the lot, they would
propose to replant trees on the site (per the landscaping plan that was provided) and would also
then be required to pay $10,000 in restitution. If the applicant does not request to subdivide the
lot, they would still be required to replant trees on the site in accordance with City's landscaping
regulations.
Internal Walkway SysteW City Trail
The sketch indicates that a decorative pedestrian walkway would be provided within the
development to connect the various buildings and the plaza. The attached resolution providing
comments on the sketch includes a comment that the internal walkway should be extended to a
City trail along Northwest Boulevard, as discussed below.
The Comprehensive Plan indicates a City trail along Northwest Boulevard adjacent to the site.
Development of this site requires that a trail be provided along the eastern boundary of the site,
abutting Northwest Boulevard. Additionally, if the applicant subdivides the site, sidewalks
would be required along both Annapolis Circle and Campus Drive. The attached resolution
addresses this issue.
File 2006011
Page 12
Ponding
The existing pond located in the east portion of the site provides some storage capacity, but no
treatment due to the proximity of the inlet and outlet pipes. The sketch shows that this pond
would be removed. One option for drainage includes installation of a water -quality pond in the
northwest corner of the site. Another option for drainage includes providing water quality
ponding for this site at a downstream location north of Campus Drive and east of Northwest
Boulevard. Under that scenario, the off-site downstream pond would be located next to an
existing City -owned pond near the system's discharge point into a large wetland basin. The
drainage from this site and the surrounding streets presently flows directly into that wetland
without treatment. Under the off-site ponding scenario, storm water runoff would be routed to a
water quality pond using a flow diverter. This would improve the drainage situation in the
general area (not limited to the development site) because area runoff would be treated before
entering the City's drainage system. If the off-site ponding scenario proceeds, the applicant
would contribute funds to the regional ponding system. Both the applicant and Water Resources
staff presently prefer the off-site ponding scenario, however, more information needs to be
compiled before any final decisions can be made. That matter would be decided prior to the
City's review of any PUD general plan amendment for this site. Regardless of whether ponding
for this site occurs on the site or off the site, the ponding system would need to comply with City
and watershed regulations.
Conclusion on the PUD Sketch
The Planning Commission and staff did not identify any issues regarding the PUD sketch that
could not be addressed during the formal PUD site plan review.
8. RECOMMENDATION:
Community Development Department staff recommends approval of the following items, subject
to the conditions and findings listed, as recommended by the Planning Commission:
a) a resolution approving a Comprehensive Plan amendment to reguide the 4.9 -acre site located
at the northwest corner of Highway 55 and Northwest Boulevard from IP (Planned Industrial)
to C (Commercial) on the City's land use guide plan map;
b) a resolution providing informal comments on the PUD sketch. The City Council may add,
delete, or change comments as it deems appropriate.

would first like more information o the difference between turf and grass and how it
affects runoff. Planner Doty replied th the turf surface is designed with a sub surface
including crushed limestone and a drain ti system. He added that drainage from the turf
surface would be collected in the drain tile transported to the pond south of the school
building. He said it is very similar to the gras surface for the junior varsity field, which
would include a drain tile system that goes to the ond. Commissioner Clyman asked if it
is going into anyone's yards. Planner Doty confirm that all is directed to the pond.

Commissioner Clyman asked about the intersection of Campus Drive and Annapolis
Circle. Senior Planner Drill said the intersection is currently a stop for drivers heading
north on Annapolis Circle, and has no stop control for drivers on Campus Drive. He said
the intersection would need to be monitored to see if any changes would be needed in the
future.
Chair Holmes said that he's concerned about eastbound Campus Drive, where it narrows
from two lanes to one. He also said there doesn't seem to be an easy way for people to
walk in this area. Senior Planner Drill said there currently are no trails in this area,
however, the trail plan does show trails eventually on both sides of Northwest Boulevard.
He said right now people walking in the area are forced to walk along the street or in the
grassy areas next to the street.
Commissioner Weir asked about site access. Senior Planner Drill said the development
would have two curb cuts along Annapolis Circle, with no access from Campus Drive,
Northwest Boulevard or State Highway 55.
Chair Holmes introduced the applicant, John Gelderman, CSM Corporation. Mr.
Gelderman stated that West Health contacted them soliciting proposals to see what could
be developed on this site. He said that this site is a gateway into the PUD. He said this is
the last vacant parcel in the area. He said that West Health originally planned to develop
this site for health care and office space, but with a new hospital proposed in Maple Grove,
they no longer need to retain the site. Paul DeVetter, CSM Corporation, said they would
use the same building materials used in the West Health project. He said the proposed
landscape feature at the corner would add excitement to that location.
Chair Holmes opened and closed the public hearing as no one requested to speak on the
item.
Commissioner Anderson stated that she supports reguiding the site to commercial. She
said she would like to see the development kept to one story. Mr. DeVetter said that they
planned for a single story development. She said she was also concerned about the traffic,
as there are problems that already exist.
Commissioner Weir said he liked what was presented.
Commissioner Weir asked where the walking trail will eventually go. Community
Development Director Hurlburt said there is a major trail system that runs along Plymouth
Creek north of the site. She stated that while this is an industrial area, the trails are a
missing link here because you do see people walking from these industries to get to
restaurants. She added that pedestrian facilities were overlooked when this development
was designed.

we would obtain the easement for the trail along Northwest Boulevard, and then its
installation would be a City-wide responsibility. Chair Holmes added a reminder that this
is a sketch review for feedback and it is not the final proposal.
Commissioner Murdock stated the she likes the architectural design and the plaza green

CSM Corporation — West Health — Parcel E
Land Use Guide Plan Amendment Narrative
February 22, 2006
Introduction
CSM Corporation proposes to develop this 4.93 -acre site, located at the corner of
Highway 55 and Northwest Boulevard, from its existing vacant use to a commercial/retail
center. The proposed center will include a mix of retail and office users to meet the needs
of residents in Plymouth and nearby communities. The proposed development will
generate a vibrant commercial center along with providing a commercial extension to the
existing West Health Campus.
Review Factors
Development of the West Health - Parcel E property will require an Amendment to the
City's Comprehensive Plan from its current Industrial land use designation. The
amendment will re -guide the site to a "C" Commercial Land Use designation. The
following paragraphs address the review factors for a Land Use Amendment.
Location Criteria
The proposed Land Use change to a Commercial Land Use designation meets the
location criteria for a commercial site. The site's location has high visibility from two
major roadways, Highway 494 and Highway 55. This location provides both
convenience and visibility qualities inherent in a successful commercial site. The
Commercial guiding also fits within the existing Commercial guiding of adjacent
properties along Highway 55.
Reason for Land Use Change
We feel it is an appropriate time to review alternative uses for the site to help guide it for
highest and best use. Since the adoption of the Industrial guiding -for this site the market
has changed along with the landowner's vision for the site. Due to the property's close
proximity to major highways and the adjacent commercial areas, its future use as a
commercial center would be a long-term benefit at this prominent location within the
City of Plymouth. Without the change in the Land Use Plan, the property will remain in
its current vacant state or may be further developed as industrial property.
Page 1 of 3
Change Needed for Site Development
The visibility and access to this site creates a land value that is too expensive to support
an industrial development. Due to the location of the property and its proximity to major
highways and other commercial areas, we feel that a commercial use is the highest and
best use of the property. A land use change is necessary for the site to be developed as a
commercial center.
Relationship to Supply and Demand for Proposed Land Use
Due to market forces and high land cost, development of this site for an industrial use is
not likely feasible. The prominent location has a level of visibility not required by an
Industrial user. Sites set back away from highly visible roadways are often primary,
locations for an Industrial user allowing the industrial developer more options in
screening truck courts and shipping areas. As a commercial development, the mix of
proposed retail users at this site will meet a retail demand presently needed in this area.
Merits of Amendment
There are a number of benefits that will be received by the City of Plymouth as a result of
the proposed Land Use Change and the proposed commercial center. The commercial
development of the property will create additional revenues generated by an increased tax
base and also add jobs to the City of Plymouth. The commercial development will add
valuable convenience and shopping opportunities to Plymouth residents. The
development of an attractive retail center will also encourage local shopping and dining.
In addition, the proposed retail center will include an outdoor gathering space that can be
enjoyed by patrons of the center. The development will be a commercial extension of the
existing prominent West Health Campus providing continuity of design and connection
between the sites. The architectural integrity of the West Health campus will be
integrated within the commercial development providing an enhanced continuity of
design to the highway corridor.
Possible Impacts on Comprehensive Plan Elements
Traffic. A traffic study has been prepared to analyze and summarize the traffic
implications of this development. Mitigation options to reduce potential traffic problems
are fully presented in the traffic study.
Sanitary Sewer. The project site will be provided with sanitary sewer service via an
existing eight inch gravity sewer located within Annapolis Circle. A stub located
midway along the western property line will serve as the connection point. The existing
system has sufficient capacity for the proposed development.
Housing. Housing is not a viable option for this site based on its location and existing and
proposed Land Use designation.
Page 2 of 3
Surface Water. A pond currently exists in the southeast corner of the site, though little
water quality is provided due to the proximity of the inlet and outlet pipes. It is being
proposed to fill this pond and vacate the corresponding easement for it. The current plan
proposes to drain the site west and north towards the intersection of Annapolis Circle and
Campus Drive. Conversations have taken place with the city regarding the possibility of
providing water quality for the site downstream, with rate control being provided onsite.
A water quality pond downstream would be located adjacent to an existing pond, near the
system's discharge point. Currently, the roadways surrounding and adjacent to our site
either drain directly into a wetland, located North East of our site, without being treated
or short circuit the onsite pond resulting in minimal treatment. Storm water nmoff would
be routed to the off-site water quality pond using a low flow diverter, increasing the water
quality for the tributary area for the most common rainfall events. If it is required to
provide water quality on site, a retention pond will be located in the northwest corner of
the site and will connect to the city storm sewer in Campus Drive.
Water Supply. Water will be provided by a twelve inch diameter watermain that runs
within Annapolis Circle. A stub has again been provided midway along the western
property line. There are two existing fire hydrants along Annapolis Circle as well, with
additional hydrants to be located internally. The existing system has sufficient capacity
for development of the site.
Parks and Open Space. The proposed redevelopment includes a gathering space for
patrons to the retail center.
Capital Improvements. The developers of the commercial center will pay for
infrastructure improvements required within the site.
Fiscal Impacts. The City will financially benefit from the proposed commercial center by
the collection of utility area charges and a significantly increased tax base for this
property through an increase in property assessment from the existing vacant land.

DEVELOPING REAL ESTATE FOR PEOPLE.
BUSINESS & COMMUNITIES
CSM Corporation — West Health — Parcel E FEB 2 3 2006
Pre -Application Sketch Review Narrative
February 22, 2006
Introduction
The West Health site is located at the northwest corner of Highway 55 and Northwest
Boulevard. The proposed commercial development will include a mix of
retail/commercial use satisfying a present commercial demand in the area. The site is an
extension of the existing West Health Campus and will provide a continuity of design and
architectural integrity to the Campus.
Site Development
In our analysis, a commercial use is the highest and best use of the property. The site has
a prime commercial location within close proximity to major highways and adjacent
commercial properties. In addition, the commercial use generates an increased tax base
over the current vacant use. The commercial development will add value, convenience
and retail opportunities to City of Plymouth residents encouraging local shopping and
dining in the area.
The proposed concept plan for the site encompasses three one-story commercial
buildings. Buildings A and B are multi -tenant buildings containing a cumulative 29,000
s.f. potentially consisting of various small retail, professional office, and restaurant users.
Building C, containing 10,000 s.f., is proposed as a potential bank shared with an office
use.
Discussion of site and building design
The multi -tenant buildings are pushed up to the street frontages maximizing visibility and
connection to the adjacent streets. The corner of Highway 55 and Northwest Boulevard
will be strengthened by high quality architecture with the buildings reinforcing the edge
and a landscaped courtyard defining the corner.
The landscaped courtyard at the corner of Northwest Boulevard and Highway 55 anchors
the development. This is the place for the public to gather amongst umbrella tables for
dining and colorful landscaping. There is a series of plaza features of varying scales and
details all linked with pedestrian pathways. Smaller scale multi -tenant retail shops flank
the highly detailed plaza and pedestrian walkways.
Page 1 of 3
The architecture of the buildings will have tower forms at key comers along with
pedestrian scale elements such as maximized storefronts, canvas awnings, ornamental
light fixtures, and decorative planters. Undulations to the facades along with varying
heights to the decorative cornices create visual interest to the buildings.
Common architectural elements will be designed throughout the development creating a
cohesive design as well as tying in with architectural features and materials of the
existing West Health Campus.
Site Guiding and Zoning
The property is currently vacant land and guided as an Industrial use. Development of
the property will require a Comprehensive Plan Amendment change to "C" Commercial.
The site is presently zoned P.U.D. The development will require a P.U.D. amendment to
approve the site plan along with permitted uses within the C-4 Community Commercial
District.
Proposed General Schedule of development
Winter 2006 -Spring 2007
Spring 2007 -Spring 2008
Roadway Access
Permits and City approvals
Construction
Access to the proposed site will be exclusively from Annapolis Circle North. Two
entrances to the site are being proposed along Annapolis Circle to accommodate
convenient access to all buildings.
Access within the site will be provided by a system of internal private roadways that will
provide convenient access to the buildings. Internal roadways will be designed to
accommodate fire trucks as required by the City of Plymouth.
The City's traffic consultant has prepared a traffic study for the proposed site
development (currently being completed). The study identifies the potential impacts to
the City's roadways and recommendations to accommodate the development.
Site Utilities
Water will be provided by a twelve inch diameter watermain that runs within Annapolis
Circle. A stub has again been provided midway along the western property line. There
are two existing fire hydrants along Annapolis Circle as well, with additional hydrants to
be located internally. The existing system has sufficient capacity for development of the
site.
Page 2 of 3
The project site will be provided with sanitary sewer service via an existing eight inch
gravity sewer located within Annapolis Circle. A stub located midway along the western
property line will serve as the connection point. The existing system has sufficient
capacity for the proposed development.
All the necessary utilities exist along the perimeter of the site.
Stormwater and Drainage
A pond currently exists in the southeast corner of the site, though little water quality is
provided due to the proximity of the inlet and outlet pipes. It is being proposed to fill this
pond and vacate the corresponding easement for it. The current plan proposes to drain
the site west and north towards the intersection of Annapolis Circle and Campus Drive.
Conversations have taken place with the city regarding the possibility of providing water
quality for the site downstream, with rate control being provided onsite. A water quality
pond downstream would be located adjacent to an existing pond, near the system's
discharge point. Currently, the roadways surrounding and adjacent to our site either drain
directly into a wetland, located North East of our site, without being treated or short
circuit the onsite pond resulting in minimal treatment. Storm water runoff would be
routed to the off-site water quality pond using a low flow diverter, increasing the water
quality for the tributary area for the most common rainfall events. If it is required to
provide water quality on site, a retention pond will be located in the northwest corner of
the site and will connect to the city storm sewer in Campus Drive.
Vegetation
The City of Plymouth defines a significant tree as any healthy tree equal to or greater
than 8" DBH. By this definition, there are only 70 significant trees on the site. Included
in the 70 trees are 40 fast growing softwood species (Box Elder, Cottonwood Elm and
Spruce) and 30 hardwood species (Red Oak, Hackberry, Basswood, Sugar Maple and
Green Ash). The shrub/sapling layer is completely dominated by the non-native
European Buckthorn which is the first species to leaf out in the spring and the last one to
drop its leaves in the fall. Due to both its shade tolerance and creation of an abundance
of shade, it will compete with most native species for light, nutrients and moisture,
leading to a thoroughly degraded woodlot in time. In the short term, the woods will be
fine as the canopy layer is above the Buckthorn layer. However, the long term viability
of the woods would be in doubt through a lack of reproduction due to complete shading
of the ground layer. A tree preservation plan has been prepared in accordance to the City
of Plymouth zoning ordinance and included within this submittal.
Wetland
There are no existing wetlands on site.

4:4.3.3 Industrial Land Uses
Although residential use is the predominant land use in Plymouth, industrial land provides
opportunities for much of the City's employment base. Convenient locations with access to
regional highway and railway routes, and other services needed for business development have
made Plymouth an important industrial employment center for the western Twin Cities
Metropolitan Area. The jobs and tax base provided by industrial uses are important contributors
to the economic vitality of the City.
With the continued development of the information age, the City has seen a shift in the nature of
its industrial users. The current trends indicate a greater amount of area devoted to office uses
and with it,'a higher demand for parking. The City will need to balance the demand for parking
with other objectives, including limiting impervious surfaces and promoting travel demand
management.
The land use guide plan includes one industrial guiding designation. This guiding designation
may be compatible with one or more of three industrial zoning districts. Industrial sites will be
placed in a zoning classification based on 1) the type and intensity of uses, 2) compatibility with
the Comprehensive Plan, including public facilities (e.g., transportation and sanitary sewer) and.
3) the purposes of the individual zoning district.
Industrial developments must be carefully evaluated in terms of their access, location, size,
intensity, traffic generation, context, site plan and building orientation, structural aesthetics and
transition to non -industrial uses in order to protect the health, safety and general welfare of the
surrounding uses and the City as a whole. Access and traffic generation characteristics of a
proposed development site will be major considerations in determining how an industrially=
guided site should be zoned.
IP (Planned Industrial)
The IP (Planned Industrial) guiding designation allows a variety of - uses including
manufacturing, production, processing and storage of materials, goods and products. In addition,
certain compatible and supportive office and business uses may be allowed in the IP areas to
provide an integrated and attractive employment center.
Guidelines and Criteria
Minimum Area: 5 acres
City Utilities: Required in all areas

C (Commercial)
The C (commercial) guiding designation allows a wide variety of uses including those for 1,
convenience -oriented, neighborhood -oriented, highway -oriented, community -oriented and bulk
retail -oriented markets and. consumers. These areas provide a wide range of goods and services
to serve many of the shopping needs of people who live or work in the City. A regional -oriented
shopping center is not expected to be built in Plymouth due to the limited supply of suitable land,
and because the City is within the trade area of existing regional centers in other communities.
Certain commercial uses, such as those devoted to motor vehicle -oriented retail or service
activities (e.g., vehicle service and fuel sales, drive-through businesses and sales of motor
vehicles) depend on access to major transportation routes and often have characteristics that are
incompatible with residential areas. Other commercial uses, such as those involving wholesale
and retail trade of large volume or bulk commercial items, storage and warehousing, may have
both commercial and industrial characteristics.
Guidelines and Criteria
Minimum Area: 0 One acre for convenience retail and highway
commercial
Five acres for neighborhood and community shopping
centers, and for commercial warehouse uses.
City Utilities: Required in all areas
Corresponding Zoning Districts: C-1 (Convenience Commercial District)

FROM: Carla Stueve, PE, PTOE, Associate
Jordan Mancl, Engineer
DATE: February 28, 2006
SUBJECT: TRAFFIC STUDY FOR THE PROPOSED CSM WEST HEALTH SITE DEVELOPMENT
CITY PROJECT NO. 6126)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Plymouth requested that a traffic study be completed for a proposed development in
the northwest quadrant of Trunk Highway (TH) 55 and Northwest Boulevard (CSAH 61) to
determine the impacts to the existing roadway system. The study has been completed and the
results summarized in the following paragraphs. More detailed information is provided in the
body of the memorandum.
Existing Conditions: Results of the operations analysis indicate that the intersection of TH
55/CSAR 61 currently operates at an unacceptable LOS F during the p.m. peak hour, with
existing traffic control, signal timing and geometric layout.
Proposed Redevelopment: A mix of retail uses (38,900 square feet) is proposed, including a
bank/office, fast -casual dining and general retail, with a proposed construction year of 2007. It is
estimated that the proposed development will generate 416 a.m. peak hour trips; 571 noon peak
hour trips, 368 p.m. peak hour trips, and 4,896 daily trips.
Site Plan Review: No significant issues were identified. The driveways should be reviewed to
ensure adequate truck turning radius and a minimum driveway width of 28 feet.
Future Build Conditions: An operations analysis was completed to assess the traffic impacts
from the proposed development. The analysis found that for year 2008 build conditions, the
intersection of TH 55/CSAH 61 is expected to continue to operate at an unacceptable level of
service during the p.m. peak hour, even with optimized signal timing.

ConclusionsMecommendations: Based on the analysis, the following improvements are
recommended for year 2008 build conditions.
TH 55/CSAH 61 - Optimization of the signal timing, approved by Mn/DOT, to improve
overall levels of service. With this improvement, the intersection will operate at LOS E
during the p.m. peak period. No additional minor roadway geometric improvements are
feasible at this intersection to increase capacity. Consistent with the TH 55 Future
Traffic Demand Study, the reconstruction of TH 55 to a six -lane facility from east of
CSAH 61 to Fernbrook Lane or consideration of a grade -separated option will
significantly improve operations along this corridor during the peak periods.
CSAH 61/Campus Drive —Optimization of the signal timing to accommodate the change
in the traffic patterns from the proposed development. This intersection will operate at an
acceptable level of service with or without this improvement.
Campus Drive/Annapolis Circle — Although this intersection is expected to operate at
acceptable level of service, it should be monitored to determine the need for a future
signal due to moderate side -street delays and the northbound queue, which may block the
north development driveway during the noon peak.

The proposed development site is located north of TH 55 and west of CSAH 61 in the City of
Plymouth (see Figure l: Project Location). An operations analysis was conducted for the a.m.
and p.m. peak hours at the following key intersections to determine how traffic currently
operates in the study area.
TH 55 and CSAH 61
CSAH 61 and Campus Drive
Campus Drive and Annapolis Circle
In addition, a noon peak hour operations analysis was completed for the intersections of CSAH
61/Campus Drive and Campus Drive/Annapolis Circle.
The intersections of TH 55/CSAR 61 and CSAH 61/Campus Drive are both signalized. The
intersection of Campus Drive/Annapolis Circle is controlled with side -street stop control. All
key intersections were analyzed using the Synchro/SimTraffic and Highway Capacity software.
The existing traffic control, signal timing and geometric layout was used in the analysis. Current
turning movement counts were collected by SRF Consulting Group for the a.m., noon and p.m.
peak hours at the intersection of Campus Drive/Annapolis Circle. Current noon peak hour
counts were also collected at the intersection of CSAH 61/Campus Drive. Peak hour counts
a.m. and p.m. peak) were available for the other key intersections from recent studies completed
in the study area. Current geometrics and peak hour traffic volumes for the key intersections are
shown in Figure 2.
Capacity analysis results identify a Level of Service (LOS) which indicates how well an
intersection is operating. Intersections are given a ranking from LOS A through LOS F. LOS A
indicates the best traffic operation and LOS F indicates an intersection where demand exceeds
capacity. LOS A — D is generally considered acceptable by drivers.
For the analysis of side -street stop controlled intersections, the traffic operations can be
described in two ways. Similar to signalized intersections, the overall intersection level of
service is documented, which provides the average delay per vehicle for all approaches.
However, at an intersection with side street stop control, the mainline does not have to stop.
Therefore, the majority of delay is experienced by vehicles on the side street. In addition to
providing an average delay for all approaches, it is important to indicate the level of service on
the side -street approach. It is typical of intersections with higher mainline traffic volumes to
experience high levels of delay (poor levels of service) on the side -street approaches, but an
acceptable overall intersection level of service during the peak hour periods.

Results of the analysis shown in Table 1 indicate that all key intersections currently operate at an
acceptable overall LOS D or better during the a.m. and noon peak hours. However, the
intersection of TH 55/CSAH 61 operates at an unacceptable LOS F with existing traffic control
and geometric layout during the p.m. peak hour.

PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
The proposed development is to be constructed in the northwest quadrant of TH 55/CSAH 61.
Two possible development scenarios were considered for this quadrant. Scenario 1 assumes a
hotel and two restaurants. Scenario 2 consists of a mix of retail uses including a bank/office,
fast -casual dining and general retail (see Figure 3: Proposed Site Plan). The proposed
development is planned to be constructed in the year 2007.
TRAFFIC FORECASTS
As shown in Tables 2 and 3, trip generation estimates for the peak periods and on a daily basis
were calculated for the proposed development for the two development scenarios. The trip
generation estimates were generated based on the 2003 ITE Trip Generation Reports and
information from other reliable sources. Currently in the ITE trip generation reports there is
limited trip generation information available for coffee shops. Therefore, the a.m. and p.m. peak
hour trip generation estimates are based on information collected at local coffee shops. In
addition, the trip generation information for drive-through banks in the ITE Trip Generation
reports is considered to be dated. The ITE trip rates are calculated using a weighted average of
studies dating back to the 1960's. Recent trends in banking, such as direct deposit and ATM
facilities have reduced the number of trips generated by banks. Therefore, local drive-through
bank trip generation data has been collected to provide more accurate updated trip generation
information.

Notes:
The bank has a drive-through facility. A 50/50 spilt was assumed for the size of the bank and office (5,000 sf
each). Trips for the bank are based on information obtained from recent studies.
z) Coffee shop without drive-through was assumed. Trips were generated based on local studies of coffee shops.
No information available for the noon peak; therefore, the p.m. peak hour trip generation rates were used.
c3> Trips were generated based on the fast-food without drive -though. Due to limited information for this use
during the noon peak hour and on a daily basis, the average rate for fast-food with a drive-through was used.

A 15 -percent multi -use trip reduction was included in Tables 2 and 3 to account for internal trips
that are made using the on-site roadway system. Pass -by trip reductions were also used for some
of the proposed commercial uses to account for vehicles already on the adjacent roadways that
will stop at the site. Based on information from the 1998 ITE Trip Generation Handbook, the
following pass -by reductions were assumed for the a.m. and p.m. peak hours: 50 percent for
restaurants, 45 percent for the bank, and 25 percent for general retail. During the noon peak
hour, the percentage of pass -by trip reductions is slightly lower: 40 percent for restaurants, 35
percent for bank and 20 percent for retail.
As shown in Table 3, Scenario 2 represents a worst-case scenario, as it generates a higher
number of peak hour trips. Therefore, this scenario was analyzed to determine the potential
impacts this development would have on the adjacent roadway system. Traffic forecasts were
developed for Scenario 2 for year 2008 (one year after construction). A two -percent yearly
growth rate was used to account for growth in background traffic volumes on all roadways.
The directional trip distribution for the proposed site -generated trips is based on the regional
distribution of population and employment, as well as current travel patterns in the area (see
Figure 4: Directional Distribution). The combination of background traffic and trips generated
by the proposed development is shown in Figure 5 for year 2008 peak hour build conditions.
FUTURE CONDITIONS
To determine how well the existing and future roadway system will accommodate the proposed
development, an a.m., noon and p.m. peak hour operations analysis was conducted for year 2008
build conditions. As shown in Table 4, the intersection of TH 55/CSAH 61 is expected to
continue to operate at an unacceptable level of service during the p.m. peak period. By
optimizing the signal timing at this intersection, operations will improve to LOS E during the
p.m. peak. These poor operations will occur at this intersection with and without traffic
generated by the proposed development. No additional minor roadway geometric improvements
are feasible at this intersection to increase capacity. The signal optimization would consist of
minor changes to the signal timing. Since this intersection is along a State Highway, changes to
signal timing would need to be approved by Mn/DOT.

Currently, the intersection of TH 55/CSAH 61 provides three through lanes on TH 55. However,
one through lane in each direction effectively operates as an auxiliary lane due to the lane
configuration at the TH 55/1-494 Ramp intersections. The reconstruction of TH 55 to a six -lane
facility from east of CSAH 61 to Fernbrook Lane or consideration of grade -separated options
will significantly improve operations along this corridor during the peak periods. This is
consistent with the TH 55 Future Traffic Demand Study results.
Although the intersection of CSAH 61/Campus Drive is expected to operate at an acceptable
level of service, the signal timing at this intersection was optimized due to the changes in traffic
patterns with the proposed development. The side -street stop controlled intersection of Campus
Drive/Annapolis Circle is also expected to operate at an acceptable overall level of service.
However, during the peak periods the motorists on the side -street approaches are expected to
experience a moderate level of delay (average delay of less than one minute per vehicle). In
addition, the northbound queue from this intersection is expected to extend 250 feet on
Annapolis Circle during the noon peak hour. This may block the north development driveway
during this peak time, causing drivers difficulty in entering/exiting the site during the noon peak
hour.
The intersection of Campus Drive/Annapolis Circle should be monitored to evaluate the need for
a future traffic signal at this intersection. Based on the future volumes, this intersection would
meet traffic signal warrants for the noon peak hour. However, the peak hour signal warrant
would not be met during the a.m. and p.m. peak periods. In addition, an all -way stop is not
recommended at this intersection due to the heavy westbound left -turn volume that would be
required to stop, which could potentially affect operations at the CSAH 61/Campus Drive
intersection.
SITE PLAN REVIEW
A review of the proposed site plan was completed to analyze the internal site circulation and
identify any site access issues associated with the proposed development. No significant issues
were identified from the site plan review. There are currently two full -access driveways
proposed on Annapolis Circle. It is recommended that the width of these driveways should be
28 feet minimum. In addition, the turning radii should be checked to ensure that trucks can
safely enter/exit the site.
Ross Beckwith February 28, 2006
City of Plymouth Page 13
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the analysis, the following conclusions and recommendations are offered for your
consideration:
All key intersections currently operate at an acceptable LOS D or better during the a.m.
and noon peak hours. During the p.m. peak hour, the intersection of TH 55/CSAR 61
currently operates at an unacceptable LOS F with existing traffic control, signal timing
and geometric layout.
Under year 2008 build conditions for Scenario 2, the following improvements are
recommended:
TH 55/CSAR 61 - Optimization of the signal timing is recommended to improve overall
levels of service during future build conditions. With this improvement, the intersection
will operate at LOS E during the p.m. peak period. No additional minor roadway
geometric improvements are feasible at this intersection to increase capacity. The
reconstruction of TH 55 to a six -lane facility from east of CSAH 61 to Fernbrook Lane or
consideration of a grade -separated option will significantly improve operations along this
corridor during the peak periods. Since TH 55 is a State Highway, discussions with
Mn/DOT should occur to approve any signal timing changes.
CSAH 61/Campus Drive — Signal timing optimization is recommended at this
intersection to accommodate the change in the traffic patterns from the proposed
development. This intersection will operate at an acceptable level of service with or
without this improvement.
Campus Drive/Annapolis Circle - This intersection is expected to operate at acceptable
level of service with the traffic generated by the proposed development. However,
moderate delays are expected for the minor approaches. In addition, based on the
operations analysis, the northbound queue from this intersection is expected to extend
250 feet on Annapolis Circle during the noon peak hour, which may block the north
development driveway during the noon peak. This intersection should be monitored in
the future to determine the need for a future signal.

RESOLUTION 2006 -
APPROVING A LAND USE GUIDE PLAN AMENDMENT FOR CSM CORPORATION
FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF HIGHWAY 55 AND
COUNTY ROAD 61 (A/K/A NORTHWEST BOULEVARD) (2006011)
WHEREAS, CSM Corporation has requested reclassification of the land use guiding of the 4.9 -
acre site located at the northhwest corner of Highway 55 and County Road 61 from IP (Planned
Industrial) to C (Commercial); and,
WHEREAS, the property affected by the amendment is presently legally described as follows:
Lot 1, Block 1, Northwest Business Campus 4th Addition, except that part lying Southeasterly of
the following described line: Beginning at a point in the Southwesterly line of said Lot 1 distant
10 feet Northwesterly of the most Southerly corner thereof; thence run Northeasterly to a point
on the Southeasterly line of said Lot 1 distant 53.79 feet Northeasterly of said most Southerly
corner as measured along said Southeasterly line and there terminating.
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed said request at a duly called Public
Hearing and recommends approval.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA, that it should and hereby does approve the request by CSM
Corporation for reclassification of the land use guiding from IP (Planned Industrial) to C
Commercial) for the 4.9 -acre parcel of land located at the northwest corner of Highway 55 and
County Road 61, based on the following findings:
1. The site meets the location criteria for C guiding because it is located at the intersection of
two arterial roadways. The close proximity to other existing commercial development and
employment centers indicates that the site is well positioned for commercial development.
Furthermore, the site is prominently located at a major entrance into the PUD, and therefore
provides an opportunity to establish a project that makes a high-quality impression for the
overall PUD. These factors suggest that the site may be better suited for a commercial
development than for an industrial development.
Resolution 2006-
2006011)
Page 2
2. The proposed development and vacant status of the parcel, together with the current
inconsistency between the industrial guiding and most recent PUD plans, support a re-
examination of the guiding of the site at this time.
3. Reguiding of this 4.9 -acre site would not adversely affect the industrial land supply.
Furthermore, the site's prime location at the intersection of Highway 55 and Northwest
Boulevard makes it highly visible in the community. That attribute is not required for
industrial developments but is more closely associated with, and generally required for retail
commercial uses.
4. The proposed development would complement the existing commercial development and
employment centers in the area, serving those who work and live in the area.
5. The proposed reguiding would not have any negative impacts on the other comprehensive
plan elements.
6. The proposed reguiding would not have any negative fiscal impacts on the City.
FURTHER, approval of the land use guide plan amendment is contingent upon, and subject to,
the required review and response by the Metropolitan Council.
ADOPTED by the City Council on April 25, 2006.
