Citj of Plymouth TIF Financial Plan August 2007
Executive Summary — Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Financial Plan
Revenue from tax increment financing (TIF) districts is a.financial asset of the City of Plymouth for the projects which were
initially assisted and for the City as a whole. This revenue will first be used to pay debt service on outstanding bonds and
developer financed obligations. A portion (but not all) of the remaining revenues can be used to participate in other eligible
development projects. Ehlers & Associates worked with City staff to create the following plan for the management of TIF
districts and the related obligations.
The management of TIF districts is an ongoing activity. TIF requires administrative oversight for reporting, tracking parcel
information, compliance with use restrictions in the TIF law and the development agreements, and annual income and debt
service. The factors that produce tax increment revenues such as tax rates, assessor's values, and class rates change every
year. The state property tax laws, have changed significantly since 1997, including the major reforms enacted in 2001.
Despite reductions in revenue due to the reform, the City has more than adequate cash flow to pay for all outstanding general
obligation (G.O.) tax increment financing bonds. A few of the TIF districts for which project costs were paid through a "pay-
as-you-go" may not meet scheduled principal and interest payments, depending upon future values and rates. The City has
no obligation to make up shortfalls for the "pay-as-you-go" notes.
The revenues from the City's districts are largely site specific, meaning that the revenues are restricted by law and by contract
with the developers. The TIF must be used primarily to address housing or redevelopment needs for the parcels in the TIF
district within a specified period of time.
The Office of the State Auditor (OSA) has a TIF division which is mandated by state law to collect annual reporting forms and,
if necessary, audit the use of TIF. Such audits could result in a letter to the county attorney or attorney general for
enforcement actions. To date the City has not been audited and its letters received from the OSA regarding inquiries have
related to general questions about the reporting forms themselves rather than concerns about the use of tax increment in the
City.
How Much TIF Is Too Much?
Plymouth has utilized TIF for key redevelopment and housing projects in the City. Is the City using the tool too much or not
enough? One good way to measure use of TIF is to compare with similar cities in the use of TIF. A common measure of the
use of TIF is the percentage of the gross tax base is captured in TIF districts. Below is a chart which demonstrates the City of
Plymouths current and projected tax base which is captured in TIFAistricts and similar cities' situation.

The City is below average today.versus similar cities in the use of TIF. Also shown are comparable cities' tax rates and bond
ratings. Although this is a small sample of municipalities, the,amount of TIF_used by a City does not seem to correlate directly
with a City's tax rate or bond rating. In conversations with rating agencies, we do know that market value growth is an
important factor in maintaining Plymouth's Aaa bond rating. Redevelopment plays an important factor in market value growth.
Following is a table which demonstrates the historical market value growth of the City of Plymouth.

1. The City has seven existing tax increment financing districts, with the earliest district established in 1995.
August 2007
2. The 2001 State Legislature enacted significant changes in the propertytax system. Reductions in class rates decreased
the taxable.(tax capacity) value of property in all TIF districts from pay 2001 to pay 2002 by over 25%. TIF from District
7-4 and 7-6 were modified to be able to supplement District 7-5A to fund any potential bond payment shortfalls resulting
from the 2001 tax reform.
3. In addition to the tax system changes, the Legislature eliminated the LGA/HACA penalty and the alternative qualifying
local contribution. This is an overall benefit to the City. There is no current penalty or cap in place by the State limiting
the use.of tax increment and no general fund dollars are required to supplement TIF.
Assumptions
Before discussing the findings of the current TIF analysis, it is important to understand the assumptions used in making these
projections.
1. Cash balances shown for debt service funds are based on actual amounts for December 31, 2006.
2. Pay 2006 tax increment revenues are based on City reported actual revenue collections. Pay 2007 revenues are based
upon Hennepin County projections..
3. Projected revenues do not account for additional development (except the developments under a development
4
r

agreement) or inflation of existing values.
4. For districts with residential homestead property, a portion of the TIF revenue shown is actually received from the State
of Minnesota through market value homestead credit payments. The State payments will not be made with the semi-
annual tax increment collections, but will be paid in October and December.

City of Plymouth TIF Financial Plan
Findings and Recommendations
August 2007
The updated financial analysis of the City of Plymouth's TIF Districts offers the following findings and recommendations:
Administrative authority for TIF. The City Council may want to discuss its preferred role in the administration of TIF
districts, Currently both the HRA and the City Council administer different TIF districts.
A Housing and Redevelopment Authority is established pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Sections 469.001 to 469.047. HRA's
redevelop blighted areas and promote affordable housing. The statute gives an HRA the power to construct projects, acquire
property, levy taxes and issue bonds. The HRA may designate a geographic area as a Project Area, in which tax increment
districts may be created. The types of TIF projects for an HRA include redevelopment projects, housing projects and housing
development projects. The Plymouth HRA is the TI F authority for TIF districts 1-1, 1-2 and 1-3, which were created within the
Redevelopment Project Area No. 1. The City Council must hold a public hearing and approve a TIF plan during the
establishment of a TIF district which is administered by the HRA. After the District is established, the HRA can act
independently of the City Council in matters relating to TIF as long as the HRA stays within the original budget and the HRA's
authorizing resolution:
The City of Plymouth is the TIF authority for TIF districts 7-4, 7-5A, 7-6 and 7-7. These districts were created within the
Municipal Development District No. 7, which was established in 1988.. A Municipal Development District is established
pursuant to Minnesota. Statutes Sections 469.124 to 469.134: The City may adopt a development program for the area,
acquire land or easements, and/or negotiate the sale of land or lease of property.
HRA Districts financial status. The three HRA districts are, new and do not have a history of TIF payments.
District 1-1 does have outstanding G.O. TIF Bonds which should be watched carefully. The capitalized interest, unused
discount and accrued interest for the bond paid debt service through August 1, 2007, according to bond documents. For
2007, the projected increment is $133,322 and the annual debt service is $52,310.
District 1-2 is obligated to pay increment according to a development agreement with Vicksburg Commons Limited
Partnership. In it, the HRA agreed to loan $250,000 to the developer, which would be repayable from 50% of the tax
increment received from the TIF district.
District 1-3 is obligated to pay increment according to a development agreement with Dove Capital, LLC. The note is equal to

1,687,000 at 6% interest.
Citv Districts financial status.
August 2007
TIF district 7-4 has paid off its original obligations. Its only remaining obligation is to supplement debt service for TIF district
7-5A when a shortfall occurs. To date, no transfers have occurred. TIF district 7-4 has approximately $1,700,000 in cash
balance, which could be redistributed in 2007 to the regular taxing districts of which the City would receive at least $500,000.
Pursuant to the TIF modification in December 2001, the amount that. 774 can contribute is limited to $6.9M. Because the
original obligations were repaid, TIF must either be used to supplement 7-5A or be returned to the County. Annuallythe City
should determine how much is necessary for TIF 7-5A and how much should be returned to Hennepin County for
redistribution.
TIF 7-5A. The district had a year end surplus of $132,100 but is projected to be in near deficit by 2011. The G.O. TIF Bonds
could be called in 2009 or could be refinanced as an advance refunding to lower interest costs today. A refunding today
would reduce interest costs by over $100,000 through the 15 year remaining life of the bonds. If all of the excess from TIF 7-
4 could be used to prepay the bonds, a refinancing would .not be necessary at this time. However, due to the limitation on
the use of TIF from district 7-4 for shortfalls related to tax compression only, the refinancing may be viable. We recommend
the City wait until more is known about the County's intent for use of other TIF districts before a refinancing is contemplated.
After the bonds are paid off, the City could decertify the district or use the TIF housing revenues for other affordable housing
developments in the City
TIF 7-6. The City has approximately 25% of the annual TIF to use for pooling for housing purposes in the City and the
Development District on an annual basis. The HRA and the. City entered into an agreement to pledge these funds to the
Vicksburg Crossing Project. This amounts to approximately $35,000 per year. If not used for other activities, the annual TIF
can be used to supplement TIF 7-5A (and decertify 7-4) or be annually returned to Hennepin County.
TIF 7-7. Like all housing districts, the City should regularly monitor development agreement obligations and income
restrictions.
Role of housing fund. The City has transferred funds into a non -TIF fund, the Affordable Housing Fund. The City may
want to expend those funds on debt service for an eligible housing development and close the non -TIF housing fund.
The Legislature has loosened restrictions on housing districts. Instead of a housing fund, the City could collectively pool
TIF from its housing districts for eligible projects

TIF 1-1 Shops at Plymouth Creek
Description:
August 2007
The Shops at Plymouth Creek is a Redevelopment District established in 2004. The Plymouth Housing and Redevelopment
Authority is responsible for this district. The District is located within the Redevelopment Project Area No. 1, which was
established in 2004, which appears to include all but the northwestern corner of the City. Originally, the district
encompassed one 28 acre parcel of land, lot 1, block 1, Spicer Addition, PID 20-118-22-14-0002 and was established to
facilitate the redevelopment of the parcel into a combination of retail and senior housing.

Allowable Uses:
MN Statute 469.176 sub 4j specifies the activities on which tax increment from a redevelopment district may be spent. In
general, tax increment must be spent on correcting those conditions which caused the area to be designated a redevelopment
district. Allowable uses include property acquisition, demolition, - rehabilitation, installation of public utilities., road,
sidewalks, public parking facilities, and allowable administrative, expenses.

City of Plymouth TIF Fbimicial Plan
Obligations:
August 2007
In 2005, the City of Plymouth issued the $1,370,000 GO Tax Increment Bonds of 2005A to finance public improvements in the
District. As of December 31, 2006, $1,370,000 was outstanding on the bonds. The bonds are fully repaid in 2023, or 8 years
before the District is required to expire.
Other Development Agreement Compliance
Aside from unavoidable delays, all five phases of the project was expected to be substantially completed by December, 2006.
The development agreement entered into with Shops at Plymouth Creek, LLC has requirements concerning minimum
market valuation amounts for the five phases, beginning in 2006. The City should monitor whether the development
property market value coincides with the amounts agreed upon the Development Agreement and the Minimum Assessment
Agreement.
Three Year Rule:
MN Statute 469.176 sub 1a was repealed in 2005. However, the requirement is still effective for districts which were adopted
when the rule was in place. Thus, the Shops at Plymouth Creek are still required to comply with the three year rule. The
three year rule states that, within three years from certification date, bonds much be issued, the authority has acquired land
or has caused public improvements to be constructed in the district. TIF 1=1 met the requirement when the 2005A GO Tax
Increment Bonds were issued in April 2005.
Four Year Rule:
MN Statute 469.176 sub 6 requires that, within four years from certification date, certain activities must have taken place on
each parcel with the TIF district. Required activities include demolition, rehabilitation, renovation and site improvements. If
these activities have not taken place within the required time, the parcel is'knocked down from the district, meaning, that
no increment may be collected from that individual parcel for the duration of the district. The law, does, however allow for
reinstatement procedures should the required activity later occur on the parcel. TIF 1-1 Four Year Rule deadline is April 4,
2009.

Cihj of Plymouth TIF Financial Plan August 2007
Five Year Rule:
MN Statute 469.1763 places limits on the amount and the length of time in which revenues from the TIF district may be used
for activities outside the district. In general, for the TIF 1-1 redevelopment district, at least 80% of tax increment revenues
must be used to pay for qualified costs within the district. This is considered the 'in district' percent. Subdivision 3 of this
section of the statute further specifies that within five years, tax increment must actually be paid for activities, bonds issued,
contracts entered into in order for revenues to be considered to have been spent. The five year deadline is April 2010.
Geographic Enlargements:
MN Statute 469.175 sub 4 (f) places limits on the length of time -a TIF district may add parcels. No parcels may be added five
years after the certification date. TIF 1-1 may not be enlarged after April 2010.
Recommendations:
TIF District 1-1 does have outstanding G.O. TIF Bonds which should be watched carefully. The capitalized interest, unused
discount and accrued interest for the bond paid debt service through August 1, 2007, according to bond documents. For
2007, the projected increment is $133,322 and the annual debt service is $52,310. The current cash flow projections for the
Shops at Plymouth Creek TIF District appear in the table below.

Allowable Uses:
MN Statute 469.176 sub 4d specifies the activities on which tax increment from a housing district may be spent. In general,
tax increment must be spent solely to finance the cost of the housing project. Allowable uses include public improvements
that are directly related to the housing project and allowable administrative expenses.
Obligations:
In October of 2006, the HRA entered into a development agreement with Vicksburg Commons Limited Partnership. In it, the
HRA agreed to loan $250,000 to the developer, which would be repayable from 50 % of the tax increment received from the
13
Cihj of Plymouth TIF Financial Plan August 2007
TIF district. In addition, the .HRA agreed to reimburse the developer for public improvement costs and issued a Tax
Increment Note in the amount of $250,000, payable from the remaining 50% of tax increment revenues at 6% interest from
August 1, 2008 through February 1, 2034.
Other Development Agreement Compliance .
The development agreement contains specific requirements concerning income restrictions. The developer agreed to comply
with income and rent requirements for the rental units. The City should monitor that the developer has submitted by
February 1 of each year the Compliance Certificate related to this restriction. The developer also. agreed to a minimum
assessment value of the project of $2,643,000 by January 2, 2007 and $6,835,000 by January 2, 2008. The City should also
monitor that this has occurred.
Four Year Rule:
MN Statute 469.176 sub 6 requires that, within four years from certification date, certain activities must have taken place on
each parcel with the TIF district. Required activities include demolition, rehabilitation, renovation and site improvements. If
these activities have not taken place within the required time, the parcel is'knocked down' from the district, meaning, that
no increment may be collected from that individual parcel for the duration of the district. The law, does, however allow for
reinstatement procedures should the required activity later occur on the parcel. TIF 1-2 Four Year Rule deadline is July 17,
2010.
Five Year Rule:
MN Statute 469.1763 places limits on the amount and the length of time in which revenues from the TIF district may be used
for activities outside the district. In general, for the TIF 1-2 redevelopment district, at least 80% of tax increment revenues
must be used to pay for qualified costs within the district. This is considered the district' percent. Subdivision 3 of this
section of the statute further specifies that within five years, tax increment must actually be paid for activities, bonds issued,
contracts entered into in order for revenues to. be considered to have been spent. Subsequent State Legislatures have
broadened the ability to use tax increment from a housing district for housing purposes, notwithstanding this provision. The
five year deadline is July 17, 2011.

MN Statute 469.176 sub 6 requires that, within four years from certification date, certain activities must have taken place on
each parcel with the TIF district. Required activities include demolition, rehabilitation, renovation and site improvements.
TIF 7-4 Four Year Rule was satisfied as of March 7, 2000.
Five Year Rule:

City of Plymouth TIF Financial Plan August 2007
634,500 Taxable Limited Tax Increment Revenue Note dated August 1, 1995. This note was issued in conjunction
with the Development Agreement with Hoyt Properties. The term of the note was from December 31, 1998 to
December 31, 2000 at 8 % interest. 90 % of tax increment received from the development property was pledged to pay
the debt. A subsequent amendment to the Development Agreement was approved in December 1998, which assigned
the project to Plymouth Partners II and reduced the total debt to $500,000. This note is no longer outstanding.
250,000 Taxable Limited Tax Increment Revenue Note dated December 17, 1998 payable to State Bank of
Independence, WI at 6.5% interest payable with 95% of tax increment revenues received from the development
property. The note was fully paid as of July 1, 2001.
250,000 Taxable Limited Tax Increment Revenue Note dated December 17,1998 payable to Capital Bank, MN at 6.5 %
interest payable with 95 % of tax increment revenues received from the development property. The note was fully
paid as of July 1, 2001.
Cashflow Assumptions:
The cashflow was constructed using the actual ending balances at 12/31/2006. Future increments were projected using the
anticipated 2007 tax increment revenues. The only allowable use for remaining increments is for pooling for deficits, which
was allowed through a modification dated December 18, 2001.
Recommendations:
TIF district 7-4 has paid off its original obligations. Its only remaining obligation is to supplement debt service for TIF district
7-5A when a shortfall occurs. To date, no transfers have occurred. TIF district 7-4 has approximately $1,700,000 in cash
balance, which could be redistributed in 2007 to the regular taxing districts of which the City would receive approximately
550,000. Pursuant to the TIF modification in December of 2001, the amount that 7-4 can contribute is limited to $6,900,000.
Because the original obligations were repaid, TIF must either be used to supplement 7-5A or be returned to the County.
Annually the City should determine how much is necessary for TIF 7-5A and how much should be returned to Hennepin
County for redistribution.
There are three modifications listed on the TIF reports. Staff should research the earliest two modifications and verify the
dates and the actions. District 7-5A should be monitored for deficits and increments from TIF 7-4 should be transferred.

Four Year Rule:
August 2007
MN Statute 469.176 sub 6 requires that, within four years from certification date, certain activities must have taken place on
each parcel with the TIF district. Required activities include demolition, rehabilitation, renovation and site improvements.
TIF 7-4 Four Year Rule was satisfied as of April 2003.
Five Year Rule:
At least 80% of tax increment revenues generated within TIF 7-5A must be used to pay for qualified costs within the district.
However, pursuant to MN Statute 469.1763 sub 2 (b), activities for housing projects spent in the project area is considered an
activity within the district. The five year deadline was April 2004.
Geographic Enlargements:
MN Statute 469.175 sub 4 (f) places limits on the length of time: a TIF district may add parcels. No parcels may be added five
years after the certification date. This timeline has passed for TIF 7-5A which was April 16, 2004.
Compliance Requirements:
Income limitations are required to be monitored on an on-going basis for a Housing Districts. The Authority is required to
substantiate that the applicable income limitations and rent restrictions are being met on an annual basis for rental units and
for the first purchasers of an owner occupied housing unit. The compliance must be completed regardless of whether the
project receives tax credits or not, pursuant to 469.174 sub 11.
Modifications:
December 18, 2001 -This modification allowed for pooling from TIF 7-4 and TIF 7-6 for anticipated deficits in the 7-5A TIF
District.
Obligations:
2,900,000 GO Tax Increment Bonds of 1998A issued on October 15,1998. The outstanding balance at December 31,
25
Cihj of Plymouth TIF Financial Plan
2006 was $2,760,000.
Cashflow Assumptions:
August 2007
The cashflow was constructed using the actual ending balances at 12/31/20Q6. Future increments were projected using the
anticipated 2007 tax increment revenues. Increments generated in the district are not expected to be sufficient to cover
outstanding debt. The cashflow was constructed using this assumption and transfers in of increment from Districts 7-4.
Recommendations:
The district had a year end 2006 surplus of $132,100 but is projected to be near deficit by 2011. The G.O. TIF Bonds could be
called in 2009 or could be refinanced as an advance refunding to lower interest costs today. A refunding today would reduce
interest costs by over $100,000 through the 15 year remaining life of the bonds. If all of the excess from TIF 7-4 could be used
to prepay the bonds, a refinancing would not be necessary at this time. However, due to the limitation on the use of TIF from
district 7-4 for shortfalls related to tax compression only, the refinancing may be viable. We recommend the City wait until
more is known about the County's intent for use of other TIF districts before a refinancing is contemplated. After the bonds
are paid off, the City could decertify the district or use the TIF housing revenues for other affordable housing developments
in the City.
This district should be monitored routinely for deficits and transfers should be made as appropriate.

Cihj of Plymouth TIF Financial Plan August 2007
MN Statute 469.176 sub 4j specifies the activities on which tax increment from a redevelopment district may be spent. In

good order and pay all property taxes promptly.
Three Year Rule:
The three year rule states that, within three years from certification date, bonds much be issued, the authority has acquired
land or has caused public improvements to be constructed in the district. TIF 7-6 met the requirement when the City
authorized the issuance of the $900,000 Taxable Limited Revenue Tax Increment Note on December 18, 2001.
Four Year Rule:
MN Statute 469.176 sub 6 requires that, within four years from certification date, certain activities must have taken place on

Obligations:
900,000 Taxable Limited Tax Increment Revenue Note dated December 18, 2001. This note was issued in conjunction
with the Development Agreement with Continental Property Group. The term of the note was from July 31, 2002 to
December 31, 2027 at 8.5 % interest. 73 % of tax increment received from the development property was pledged to
pay the debt. The amount outstanding at 12-31-2006 was $939,276.
Recommendations:'
The City has approximately 25% of the annual TIF to use for housing purposes in the City and the Development District.
The HRA and City entered into an agreement to pledge these funds to the Vicksburg Crossing project. Dorsey, the City's
bond counsel, as given direction that even after the five year rule has passed, the City can cumulate 25 % of the TIF for new
obligations as long as the original obligation is outstanding. This amounts to approximately $35,000 per year. If not used
for other activities, the annual TIF can be used to supplement TIF 7=5 (and decertify 7-4) or be annually returned to
Hennepin County.

Adding Quality to Life
DATE: July 18, 2007
TO: Chief Mike Goldstein
FROM: Admin Svcs Manager Barb Cox & CSO Supervisor Jim Long
SUBJECT: MULTIPLE ANIMAL LICENSES
In March of 1997, the Council had received numerous inquiries from citizens regarding
various aspects of the City's animal ordinance and referred it to the Public Safety
Advisory Board (PSAB) for study and recommendation. The PSAB and staff researched
this issue over seventeen months, which included animal limits. They also conducted
two public hearings, sent out a survey to all residents in the City Newsletter, and then
brought their final recominendations back to the Council in. July of 1998. Copies of their
work and results of the survey are attached, see Attachment A. The Council adopted the.
majority of the ordinance at that time, but asked . for additional research on one item
regarding cats. Copy attached, see Attachment B. The group spent an additional six
months on that issue and brought back its :recommendations on that issue in :December of
1998. Copy attached, see Attachment C.
Based on the recommendations, the Council adopted the new animal ordinance with
changes effective January 1, 1.999, and it is still in placer (Copy attached, see Attachment
D) The ordinance states, that any residence cannot have more than four pets over six
months of age, and no more than two of them can be dogs. The ordinance also provides
for a Multiple Animal License if certain criteria are met. Attachment E and F are copies
of the Application forin, and the Inspection sheet showing the items used by the CSO that
is inspecting the property. An initial inspection is done at the time of application.. With
annual renewals, checks are made for any violations that have occurred during the past
year. They also perform periodic re -inspections and would conduct an inspection any
time there is an allegation of an animal -related violation at any licensed premises.
The city Council adopted the Multiple Animal License provisions because in previous
years, the City had dealt with a few circumstances where individuals had three dogs and
were ultimately ordered to get rid of one by the City Council. Our research showed that
in all circumstances where these occurred, there was some type of disagreement between
neighbors over something other than the pets, where the numbers of pets was then
brought into play. There were no violations of noise, nuisance, at -large, or any other
animal ordinance violations than strictly the niunber of dogs.
Since its adoption, the nurnber of licenses has ranged from 30 to 45 each year. Currently,
we have 34 residences licensed with Multiple Aminal Licenses for 2007. In the past nine
years, there have been no substantiated complaints relating to any of the licensed
residences. We did receive a recent complaint from an citizen who does not like the
ordinance, however an investigation has revealed no animal -related problem with a
license holder due to this complaint.
The ordinance clearly states that the City can deny or revoke all application if there is a
conviction for any animal. -related offense, or they fail to pass an inspection for the .health
and welfare of the pets on the premises. Also, the physical inspection of the site must
prove there is adequate space and facilities in all the areas ,outlined on the inspection
sheet before an initial .license is issued.
Since there have been no substantiated complaints in the nine years of the program, we
believe the existing program is working well. Please let us know if you would like any
additional information about the program.
ATTACHMENT A
DATE: Julie 13, 1997
TO: Members of the City Council Subcommittee on Community Policing
FROM: Craig C. Gerdes, Director of Public Safety
SUBJECT: ANIMAL ORDINANCE ISSUES
Staff has received requests for revisions to the current Animal Control Ordinance.
There are two major areas of concern to consider and some other items staff
recommends including.
Concern/Issue #1: The number of dogs within a residence. Currently, individuals
throughout the City are allowed no more than _two dogs unless they lived in an FRD
zone -of the -City. From time to time the City has received requests from citizens to
increase the'number of dogs allowed. Historically, the City has taken a strong position
retaining the two dog limit.
Research was done on the subject including checking with other cities and reviewing
their regulations. While there is no standard throughout the area, a number of cities
either allow or have special permit provisions for more than the two dogs in a residential
area. The number of dogs allowed in a residential area home can be a very subjective
issue with determining factors including the types of dogs, the property in question, and
the owners. Staff recommends that the basic number of dogs remain at two and
provisions for permits to allow up to five pets be added. Public Safety would develop
an application and permit process which would involve an inspection of the premises,
notification and input from neighbors within 250 feet to assist in determining if approval
is appropriate. A hearing and appeal process can be built in as needed.
Public Safety is currently dealing with a number of situations throughout the community
involving individuals with three or four dogs who are interested in getting a permit. In a
couple of these instances individuals were given a deadline for coming into compliance
with the current ordinance. Through discussions with the City Attorney, we have
notified these people of the ordinance provisions under consideration. As such, we
believe it would not be fair to require them to get rid of dogs when there may be a
provision for keeping them within a few months. The City Attorney agrees. We have
temporarily suspended enforcement of this provision, but are keeping the names and
addresses on file and updating them on the process.
Concern/Issue #2: Cats. This issue involves options of both cats roaming free and
cat licensing or registration. This is a very controversial issue, especially with many cat
owners. Staff has compiled much information on the subject from the United States
Humane Society as well as other sources such as the League of Cities which can be
made available to Council at their request. These sources all recommend and support
regulations in this area. The issue with licensing is to help ensure vaccinations against
rabies for the cat population and to assist in returning impounded cats to their owners.
While some cats may not tolerate collars, technology is increasing in this area which will
help identification capabilities. Damage to other's property including children's
sandboxes, flower beds and gardens, window screens and other property and killing
birds or other wildlife is a major complaint area regarding cats. Free -roaming cats also
contribute to a serious national cat overpopulation problems and often become wild.
Nationally, the main carrier of rabies into the human community is -the cat. A number of
surrounding communities including Bloomington, Brooklyn Center, Brooklyn Park,
Crystal, Eden Prairie, Edina, Golden Valley, Maple Grove, and Robbinsdale control cats
from being free roaming. Six of them also have licensing or registration requirements.
Staff recommends cats be included in the running at large section of the animal
ordinance.
There is also no provision in the current ordinance regarding the number of cats anyone
could have. This means a resident could conceivably have 25 or more cats as long as
they only have two dogs..
Other Issues: Fees for licensing and impounding pets. Public Safety staff
recommends that the City begin sponsoring an annual "rabies clinic" for pet owners.
We would work with area veterinarians to provide low cost rabies vaccinations to City
pet owners and we would issue pet licenses free of charge at this event. As licensing
benefits the community as well as the pet owner, we recommend reducing the fees for
licenses, especially for those animals that have been spayed or neutered.
There are also some housekeeping language changes needed in the current ordinance.
These include making the department/individual responsible for licensing for the City
more generic, updating the language for keeping and reclaiming impounded pets to
include cats, and changing some noted jesponsible individuals to more generic
departments or designees.
The issues involving animals in a community, especially dogs and cats, can be very
emotional and controversial. Much community involvement and staff work needs to be
completed.' We are seeking guidance from the Subcommittee on how best to proceed
with these issues to obtain input from citizens to help develop a good working ordinance
for the community.

PUBLIC MEETING PCXR INPUT ON THE PROPOSED
ANIMAL ORDINANCE CHANGES:
Our purpose tonight is to receive comment on the
proposed ordinance. All comments will be forwarded to
the full Advisory Board for consideration. No decisions
will be made this evening.
The City will continue to take input on the proposed
ordinance on the voicemail line, 509-5128 through June
15th
The Public Safety Advisory Board will meet on June
18th
to consider all input from this meeting, letters, voicemail,
and e-mail received and determine whether to make any
changes to the proposal.
The proposal will then go to the City Council for their
consideration. It is currently set for their July
8th
meeting; however, it may be moved to the July 22
d
meeting based on their schedule.
Type -o on page 5 was called in by several people. This
was in the original ordinance and has been corrected.
Section 915.18 said an opportunity for a "bearing" was
changed o hearing.
On page 3, in Section 915.09, it states "No personal
shall own, harbor, keep, or have custody of more than
four pets, no more than two of which may be dogs over
six months old." The intent was to only include dogs
and cats and this wording will be changed to eliminate
the word "pets" and make this clear.
We have received much information from the veterinary
community regarding the requirement for feline
distemper and feline leukemia vaccinations being
required for cats (on page 2, section 915.05, subd 5).
Staff is recommending to both the Advisory Board and
City Council that this requirement be stricken.
The City of Plymouth uses the ordinance as a method to
assist the police department in dealing with problems in
response to complaints.
We do not go out looking for violations on the numbers
of animals or licenses. We react to enforcement issues.
if we have contact with your animal because of a
violation such as being at -large we would require a
license.
If you have a cat that is always indoors, we should have
no contact with the cat and there is no need to license it.
Public Safety Advisory Board
Notes from Public Meeting on Animal Ordinance
Thursday, February 99, 9998, City Council Chambers
Attending: Citizen Representatives Ed Albro, Charlie Honke, Janet Perrin, Dan Freese, and Cathy
Kaufman, and Police representative Sgt. Mike Goldstein. Fire representative Chris Dore was unable to
attend. Council Member Preus, City Manager Dwight Johnson, Chief Craig Gerdes, and recording
secretary Barb Cox were also in attendance. Council Member Spigner was able to attend part of the
meeting. Thirty-four interested citizens attended the meeting.
Council Member Christian Preus opened the meeting by welcoming those who attended and
explaining the purpose of the meeting. He then introduced Cl -def Craig Gerdes who facilitated
the meeting.
Chief Gerdes first did an overview of the current City Ordinance, the results of the questionnaire,
and a matrix of information on other cities' ordinances. Copies of this full information was
distributed to all who attended.
Those attending were then given the opportunity to speak on any issue they would like. We
received 15 cards for speakers, although one individual changed her mind and did not speak after
all. The following is a synopsis of each speaker's opinion.
This individual noted she has a 13 -year old cat who spends all day outside in her yard and she
was against passing any new ordinance which would restrict this. She noted her veterinarian
states that you cannot change old cats into house cats. She stated that if any change is
considered she would like consideration for a grandfather clause.
This individual said primarily the same as the first speaker. She also has an old cat who is
used to being outside and also spoke with her vet. She also requested consideration of a
grandfather clause if any change is considered.
The next individual spoke in favor of allowing more than two dogs or at least some special
permit for additional.
The next individual also spoke in favor of more than two dogs and noted they are a dog
breeder.
The next individual spoke in favor of requiring micro -chipping instead of requiring tags.
The next individual noted we have a problem with our current licenses as they only say
Plymouth" and not what state and that creates problems for people who travel with their
dogs. He spoke in favor of better enforcement and licensing all pets. He last item was in
favor of establishing an area where dogs can run off leash.
The next individual spoke in favor of restricting cats and the problems cats running free
cause, especially with their garden.
The next individual stated she was from Boston and spoke about the increasing problem
nationally with rabies and spoke in favor of licensing to require rabies vaccinations in cats
and that the City should also sponsor a city-wide low-cost rabies vaccination clinic. She also
spoke about the problem of feral cats and the need to address this issue.
The next individual was a cat owner who spoke against any requirement to restrict them from
being at large.
The next individual spoke about better enforcement of dangerous animals and destroying any
dog or cat who bites. He noted some language in the current ordinance about notification of
the owner which states that any individual residing at the address could receive the
notification. He noted potential problems with young children and stated only the property
owner should suffice for official notice. He then spoke about poundkeeper restrictions. He
noted we should not license any poundkeeper unless they have a veterinary background. Last
he spoke about problems with individuals harassing and trespassing.
The next individual stated he has owned both dogs and cats as well as other pets while raising
his children. He noted there is a big problem with cats running loose as cats spray. He stated
he believes they need to be controlled. He also spoke about problems on the trails with
getting people to pick up after their pets and that this needs to be addressed.
The next individual stated she spoke on behalf of all the neighbors on her cul-de-sac. She
stated they experience problems with cats running loose, annoying the neighbors, killing
wildlife such as birds, rabbits, chipmunks, etc. She stated they are in favor of a leash law for
cats or cat owners at least need to respect their neighbors.
The next individual stated they were a member of a condo association and stated that
individuals in condos and apartments and the like should only be allowed to have a limited
number of pets and should be restricted to the first floor of the building.
The last speaker thanked the City for their current policy of allowing dogs in all the parks as
some cities do not. She also requested consideration for a fenced in area where dogs can be
allowed to run off leash. She noted Hennepin County has three of these facilities and you
must buy a permit for an annual fee to use, but it would be better to have one closer to home.

Four individuals have called to request the information from the meeting as they were unable to
attend.
We have received called from three individuals who are cat owners concerned about possible at
large/leashing restrictions:
Stated they are cat owners and concerned leashing cats is not within the species
Stated they are a cat owner and we should consult an expert on cat behavior before making
any changes. Stated we should instead require owners to be responsible owners by requiring
collars with bells on outside cats and require thein to be indoors by sunset.
Stated they did send a questionnaire and attend the meeting (but did not speak) are a cat
owner and would like consideration of grandfather clause if anything changed. Stated the
number of responses shows to thein that most people are not overly concerned about this
issue a few people complain and get the most attention and they don't think that's right.
Had an ordeal when they lived in New Hope and they did something similar and the
neighbors trapped their cat. Would not like to go through it again. Should work through the
problems with their neighbors.

Additional Comments Received on
Animal Ordinance Changes
Additional phone calls received:
Stated she attended the meeting on February 19t"
but wasn't ready to speak in front
of anyone. Her concern was regarding animal bites and dangerous animals. She
stated her son was bitten by a neighbor's dog and she does not feel we do enough
to protect children. She stated it is her opinion the law errs on the side of the animal
and not people. She stated we should look at the animal's history and consider
unreported bites.
I received a call from a man who currently only has one dog, but owns a home on
three acres and does not believe it is right that he is limited to two and both he and
his property could support more if he desires. He also stated he is concerned that
the ordinance is not fair because someone can have 50 cats, but he is limited to two
dogs. He further stated cats can be a problem running loose. He stated we need to
be fair to all animals and should consider the owner.
Stated they were concerned we were going to restrict cats from being free outside.
She was concerned our survey says 78% would prohibit cats from running loose.
She states that cats are totally different animals. The City would have to allow high
fences so cats can be outside. Also cats don't attack people or chase cars or
people on bikes. She stated declawed cats cannot be outside. She asked if the
public will be allowed to vote on any changes.
Two letters were also received. Copies of both are attached.
ANIMAL ORDINANCE PROPOSAL
The Public Safety Advisory Board, Staff, and City Attorney have completed the final
draft of the proposed animal ordinance. Attached you will find a copy of what the
ordinance would look like if adopted by the City Council. The Council will be reviewing
the ordinance at its July 22nd
meeting.
Staff has recommended that the Council adopt the ordinance with an effective date of
January 1, 1999. This would give us an opportunity to get out information on the new
requirements and arrange for a licenselrabies/microchip clinic before they become
effective.
You will note in the proposed ordinance that after the last round of public comment, the
Advisory Board removed cats from the at -large requirements and put in some nuisance
animal language instead. Staff has also given the Council an option to include cats in
the at -large section with a "grandfather clause" for existing outdoor cats. The language
for the alternate follows:
OPTION B:
915.17. Dogs and Cats Prohibited from Running at Large. Subdivision 1.
General Rule. No Owner of a dog or cat shall permit it to be At Large within the City.
Every Owner of a dog or cat shall keep it Under Restraint at all times. An exception to
this requirement is dogs are allowed within a body of water for training and/or exercise
purposes as long as they are not within 300 feet of any public swimming area and are
not found to be creating a nuisance as defined in this ordinance.
Subdivision 2. Exemption. Cats who are outdoor cats within the city at the time
of adoption of this ordinance may be exempt from this section of the ordinance for the
lifetime of the animal by meeting the following requirements. The owner must register
the cat by December 31, 1998, the cat is required to be spayed/neutered, and the
owners must agree to be responsible for any damage to property done by the cat and
work with victim and police to ensure solution to the problem being created.
On beef of tete Public Safety Advisory Board and staff, we would like to take this
opportunity to thank everyone who was involved in the process making comments and
bringing ideas to the Board.
ATTACHMENT B
Agenda Number:
TO: Dwight D. Johnson, City Manager
FROM: Barbara Cox, Technical Services Supervisor
THROUGH: Craig Gerdes, Director of Public Safety
SUBJECT: AMEND ORDINANCES PERTAINING TO ANIMAL CONTROL
DATE: July 13, 1998, for July 22, 1998, City Council Meeting
1. ACTION REQUESTED: Adopt ordinance amending Chapters I, IX, and X as they relate
to animal control in the City of Plymouth.
2. BACKGROUND: City Council and staff received requests for consideration of some
changes to the City's existing animal ordinance. Specific questions regarding increasing the
number of dogs allowed and placing some restrictions on cats brought the ordinance
questions to the attention of the City Council.
The Council made the decision in the fall of 1997 to refer the matter to the City's Public
Safety Advisory Board for their study and recommendations. The Advisory Board met
several times and considered information on the current ordinance, requested changes, as
well as information from other cities. In an effort to involve the community in the question
and seek their opinion, they determined a method to gain this comment. A questionnaire was
devised and distributed throughout the community in the January Plymouth Rock Newsletter.
Over 1,500 responses were received. The Advisory Board also scheduled a public comnnent
meeting in February to distribute information on the questionnaire responses received and
seek additional public input.
Once this input was received, the Advisory Board made an initial draft of changes for the
ordinance. The draft was distributed by mail to all who had put their name and address on
the questionnaire, called in and left the information on the voicemail response line, or
stopped in for a copy. A copy was also posted on the City's web page. After the distribution
was complete, the Advisory Board continued seeking public input through mail, fax, e-mail,
and the phone line. They also had an additional public meeting for input on May 21". The
Board met again in June to further consider input from their draft and recommend changes.
Changes made to the ordinance after the first draft that were included because of citizen
comment include the above noted change of cats in the at -large section, along with changing
the vaccination requirements for cats to only rabies, adding wolf and other wild animal
hybrids in the definition of wild animals not allowed, and adding "Minnesota" to our license
tags. Copies of all the minutes from the public meetings and the results of the questionnaire
and other public comment received are attached for Council information.
The major changes to the ordinance include
Overall revamp of the ordinance to update and make it clearer
Kennel Licenses now pertain to animal -related businesses
Multiple Animal Licenses are created and allow for additional dogs or cats over the set
limit in residential areas
Cats are now included in vaccination and license requirements
Ferrets are allow as pets as long as they are vaccinated for rabies
Exemption from license tag requirement for microchip or registered identification tattoos
Opportunities for low cost licenses for spayed or neutered animals, at annual rabies clinic,
on a replacement animal, or an animal moved to Plymouth with a current license from
another city ,
Additional wording to clean-up section allowing for easier enforcement (where
previously we would have to witness the owner not cleaning up and disposing of feces,
the new wording requires them to carry equipment for clean-up off their property)
State Statute language on potentially dangerous and dangerous dogs is now
mi
cluded in
our ordinance
Steel jaw leg -hold traps are banned
Wild animals restricted now include all wild hybrid mixes such as wolf
There are two options for handling cat complaints; one is to handle them only through
nuisance complaint situations; the second is to include cats in the at -large restriction with
a special consideration for existing outdoor older cats
The original issue that brought the animal ordinance under review was that the City had
received several requests to allow residents to own a third dog as the current ordinance only
allows two, with some exceptions only in the FRD zone. This issue came up during the
review of the Zoning Ordinance. As the new proposal also restricts the total number of cats
within a residence, the Advisory Board proposes a Multiple Animal License to allow more
dogs and/or cats as pets within a residence. Staff then worked with the City Attorney to
devise the conditions guider which one of these licenses would be turned down. The concept
then allows people to have larger numbers, but we can ensure they are not creating problems
with the animals and are taking good care of them.
The final draft from the Board was then reviewed by the City Attorney. The final draft was
then mailed to all parties on the mailing list and a copy posted on the City's web page. The
recommended ordinance was scheduled for Council review at this time.
3. DISCUSSION: Public Safety staff has worked with the Advisory Board and City Attorney
in an effort to provide the most effective and fairest ordinance possible. In the widely
distributed questionnaire, 77.5% of the respondents indicated a desire for cats to be restricted
from being at -large within the City. This language was included in the first draft of the
ordinance by the Advisory Board. Much of the comment received at the second public
meeting and by phone and letter after that first draft came from people who indicated some
concerns with older cats who are currently allowed to run free and the problems associated
with attempting to change their behavior late in life to become house cats, The Advisory
Board discussed this issue at length and was greatly concerned with it. Staff did provide the
Advisory Board with possible "grandfather clause" wording to address this issue. The
Advisory Board decided to recommend taking cats back out of the at -large section of the
ordinance and instead address them in the nuisance section of the ordinance. This is listed as
Option A" of section 915.17 in the ordinance.
As indicated, one of the most difficult areas addressed was the cats at -large section. Since
this was a concern of so many citizens and an enforcement issue, we have provided an option
to the Public Safety Advisory Board's nuisance section. In this option, we would retain the
nuisance section, but include cats in the at -large section which also provides a "grandfather
clause." This is "Option B" of section 915.17 in the ordinance.
Council will also note that staff has recommended that although the ordinance would be
adopted now, the effective date would be January 1, 1999. This would allow time to produce
and distribute education and informational materials within the community on the new
regulations. We would also have an opportunity to arrange for a rabies/microchip clinic to
give people an opportunity to get these provided at low cost before they are required.
4. ALTERNATIVES: The Council could direct that certain portions be eliminated or changed.
5. BUDGET IMPACT: There should be no large impact on the budget_ Although there are
changes in the license fees allowing them to be cheaper for spayed and neutered animals and
free at the license clinics, there is now provision to license cats. Overall staff believes the
impact on revenues would not be great. We also believe the proposed costs are reasonable
and would cover the costs of the service provided.
6. RECOMMENDATION: The Public Safety Advisory Board and staff recommends the
adoption of the proposed ordinance with the selection of either Option A (Public Safety
Advisory Board) or Option B (staff) in section 915.17.

ATTACHMENT C
Agenda Number:
TO: Dwight D. Johnson, City Manager
FROM: Craig C. Gerdes, Director of Public Safety
SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER EX OF THE PLYMOUTH
CITY CODE CONCERNING ANIMALS
DATE: December 7, 1998 for December 16, 1998 City Council Meeting
1. ACTION REQUESTED: The City Council adopt an ordinance amendment to Chapter IX
in regard to animals.
2. BACKGROUND: At its July 22, 1998 meeting, the City Council adopted a major revision
to the animal ordinance. The Public Safety Advisory Board had coordinated review of the
ordinance which included public input through a questionnaire in the January 1998 City
Newsletter, and two public meetings on February 19, 1998 and May 21, 1998. When the
ordinance was considered by Council on July
22nd,
there were two options given regarding
the issue of cats at large. The two options were:
OPTION A:
915.17. Dogs Prohibited from Running at Large. Subdivision 1. General Rule.
No Owner of a dog shall permit it to be At Large within the City. Every Owner of a dog
shall keep it Under Restraint at all times. An exception to this requirement is dogs are
allowed within a body of water for training and/or exercise purposes as long as they
are not within 300 feet of any public swimming area and are not found to be creating a
nuisance as defined in this ordinance.
OPTION B:
915.17. Dogs and Cats Prohibited from Running at Large. Subdivision 1.
General Rule. No Owner of a dog or cat shall permit it to be At Large within the City.
Every Owner of a dog or cat shall keep it Under Restraint at all times. An exception to
this requirement is dogs are allowed within a body of water for training and/or exercise
purposes as long as they are not within 300 feet of any public swimming area and are
not found to be creating a nuisance as defined in this ordinance.
Subdivision 2. Exemption. Cats who are outdoor cats within the.city at the time
of adoption of this ordinance may be exempt from this section of the ordinance for the
lifetime of the animal by meeting the following requirements. The owner must register
the cat. by December 31, 1998, the oat is required to be spayed/neutered, and the
owners must agree to be responsible for any damage to property done by the cat and
work with victim and police to ensure solution to the problem being created.
The City Council adopted the ordinance with Option B, but sent this item along with several
others back to the Public Safety Advisory Board or staff for further review. On this issue, the
Advisory Board was asked to try and find another option in between Options A and B for
Council consideration. The Public Safety Advisory Board reconsidered the issues of cats at
large, licenses for indoor cats, and including ferrets in the number of animals allowed and
multiple animal licenses. They have new recommendations for Council consideration on
these issues. Staff has considered the issue of multiple animal licenses and is recommending
a process for application and approval or denial of these licenses. Staff also recommends a
change in the effective date for the licensing requirement on cats. We believe this is the
wrong time of the year for a rabies/ licensing/microchip clinic and would like to schedule it
for the spring. We also believe this event should take place before the licensing requirement
is effective.
The Council also sent the issue of developing an area for off -leash exercise for dogs to staff
for further review. This issue is under review by Park and Recreation staff.
3. ALTERNATIVES: Three alternate ordinances are included for Council consideration. The
first includes all changes recommended by the Public Safety Advisory Board. This includes
all recommendations in the second and third options plus the Advisory Board
recommendation about changing the cats -at -large language. _
The second changes the effective date for cat and multiple animal licenses and allows indoor
cats to be licensed at no charge and adds farm animal language to bring it into compliance
with the zoning ordinance. This option is the recommendation of staff. It includes the
recommendation in the third option, along with the process for multiple animal licenses.
The third option changes only the effective date for cat and multiple animal licenses and adds
farm animal language to bring it into compliance with the zoning ordinance. If the Council
determines they would prefer not to make any fundamental changes to ordinance language,
this is the minimal change that would be required. Cat licenses have been ordered, but will
not be in and available until January and we would also not have time to process multiple
animal licenses by January 1. This change would allow us to begin offering these licenses in
January, but they would not be required until July
15L.
attempted to find a proposal which would be somewhere in between the two proposals as
requested by the Council. The Advisory Board strongly believed that cats should not be
restricted from being at large, but enforcement should be on a nuisance basis. They were
strongly against restricting cats from being at large with the grandfather clause. They have a
new proposal which allows cats to be at large, unless they have been impounded more than
twice for a nuisance problem. Under this option, cats
Could be impounded for no license
Could be impounded if a nuisance
Could not be at large if impounded as nuisance three or more times.
On the issue of licensing indoor cats, in discussion the Board believes licensing is necessary
to ensure rabies vaccination and assist in the return of any animal which may get outside.
They opted to waive any fees for licensing with indoor cats in their recommendation.
The Board also agreed with the Council that as ferrets also need to be vaccinated for rabies,
they should be included in the number restrictions and multiple animal licenses. No upper
limit on multiple animals was set as the Board could not agree on a number as there are too
many variables to be considered with the size and type of animal and property. This issue is
addressed instead during the consideration of an application during the inspection to ensure
the owners can safely and properly care for the number of pets they are requesting.
There is also a need to change the required date for cat licensing and multiple animal
licenses. The cat licenses are ordered and should be available in January, but we are
requesting that they not be required until July 1, 1999. The same would apply to multiple
animal licenses. This would give pet owners and staff six months to work on getting these
issued. It would also allow us to have the rabies/licensing/microchip clinic in the spring
when it would be easier for more people to attend.
Option C is the minimal option as it only changes the effective date for the new cat licenses
and multiple animal licenses. Option B from staff includes the effective date plus allowing
free licenses for indoor cats and the process for multiple animal licenses. Option A from the
Public Safety Advisory Board, contains all of Option B plus deleting the cats -at -large
language with a new option along with language adding ferrets to multiple animal licenses.
Notices of the proposed changes were mailed to all on the animal list. Information about the
proposal was also put in the December City Newsletter.
5. BUDGET IMPACT: There is no impact on the budget from these changes.
6. RECOMMENDATION: The Public Safety Advisory Board recommends all of the changes
outlined in the discussion area of the agenda item. These changes are addressed in ordinance
Option A attached.
The staff does not recommend deleting the cat -at -large language. The cat -at -large language
in our ordinance is easier to enforce than the proposed nuisance language. The staff does
recommend changing the effective date of the requirement for cat and multiple animal
licenses and that the license fee for indoor cats be waived. We have also included the process
for application for multiple animal licenses. These changes are addressed in ordinance
Option B attached.
If the council chooses not to make either of the above changes, the staff recommends the
addition of the farm animal language for compliance with the zoning ordinance and the
change to the effective date of the cat and multiple animal licenses are required. These
changes are addressed in ordinance Option C attached.

Agenda Number:
TO: Dwight D. Johnson, City Manager
FROM: Barbara Cox, Technical Services Supervisor
THROUGH: Craig Gerdes, Director of Public Safety
SUBJECT: AMEND ORDINANCES PERTAINING TO ANIMAL CONTROL
DATE: July 13, 1998, for July 22, 1998, City Council Meeting
1. ACTION REQUESTED: Adopt ordinance amending Chapters I, IX, and X as they relate
to animal control in the City of Plymouth.
2. BACKGROUND: City Cotuicil and staff received requests for consideration of some
changes to the City's existing animal ordinance. Specific questions regarding increasing the
number of dogs allowed and placing some restrictions on cats brought the ordinance
questions to the attention of the City Council.
The Council made the decision in the fall of 1997 to refer the matter to the City's Public
Safety Advisory Board for their study and recommendations. The Advisory Board met
several times and considered information on the current ordinance, requested changes, as
well as information from other cities. hi an effort to involve the community in the qucstion
and seek their opinion, they determined a method to gain this coininent. A questionnaire was
devised and distributed throughout the commtuiity in the January Plymouth Rock Newsletter.
Over 1,500 responses were received. The Advisory Board also scheduled a public comment
meeting in February to distribute information on the questionnaire responses received and
seek additional public input.
Once this input was received, the Advisory Board made an initial draft of changes for the
ordinance. The draft was distributed by mail to all who had put their name and address on
the questionnaire, called in and left the information on the voicemail response line, or
stopped in for a copy. A copy was also posted on the City's web page. After the distribution
was complete, the Advisory Board continued seeking public input through mail, fax, e-mail,
and the phone line. They also had an additional public meeting for input on May 21 ". The
Board met again in Rine to further consider input from their draft and recommend changes.
Changes made to the ordinance after the first draft that were included because of citizen
comment include the above noted change of cats in the at -large section, along with changing
the vaccination requirements for cats to only rabies, adding wolf and other wild animal
hybrids in the definition of wild animals not allowed, and adding "Muulesota" to our license
tags. Copies of all the minutes fiom the public meetings and the results of the questionnaire
and other public comment received are attached for Council information.
The major changes to the ordinance include
0 Overall revamp of the ordinance to update and make it clearer
Kennel Licenses now pertain to animal -related businesses
Multiple Animal Licenses are created and allow for additional dogs or cats over the set
limit in residential areas
Cats are now included in vaccination and license requirements
Ferrets are allow as pets as long as they are vaccinated for rabies
Exemption from license tag requirement for microchip or registered identification tattoos
Opportunities for low cost licenses for spayed or neutered animals, at annual rabies clinic,
on a replacement animal, or an animal moved to Plymouth with a current license from
another city
Additional wording to clean-up section allowing for easier enforcement (where
previously we would have to witness the owner not cleaning up and disposing of feces,
the new wording requires them to carry equipment for clean-up off their property)
State Statute language on potentially dangerous and dangerous dogs is now included in
our ordinance
Steel jaw leg -hold traps are banned
Wild animals restricted now include all wild hybrid mixes such as wolf
There are two options for handling cat complaints; one is to handle them only through
nuisance complaint situations; the second is to include cats in the at -large restriction with
a special consideration for existing outdoor older cats
The original issue that brought the animal ordinance under review was that the City had
received several requests to allow residents to own a third dog as the current ordinance only
allows two, with some exceptions only in the FRD zone. This issue carne up during the
review of the Zoning Ordinance. As the new proposal also restricts the total number of cats
within a residence, the Advisory Board proposes a Multiple Animal License to allow more
dogs and/or cats as pets within a residence. Staff then worked with the City Attorney to
devise the conditions Linder which one of these licenses would be turrned down. The concept
then allows people to have larger numbers, but we can ensure they are not creating problems
with the animals and are taking good care of them.
The final draft from the Board was then reviewed by the City Attorney. The final draft was
then mailed to all parties on the mailing list and a copy posted on the City's web page. The
recommended ordinance was scheduled for Council review at this time.
3. DISCUSSION: Public Safety staff has worked with the Advisory Board and City Attorney
in an effort to provide the most effective and fairest ordinance possible. In the widely
distributed questionnaire, 77.5% of the respondents indicated a desire for cats to be restricted
from being at -large within the City. This language was included in the first draft of the
ordinance by the Advisory Board. Much of the comment received at the second public
meeting and by phone and letter after that first draft came from people who indicated some
concerns with older cats who are currently allowed to nun free and the problems associated
with attempting to change their behavior late in life to become house cats. The Advisory
Board discussed this issue at length and was greatly concerned with it. Staff did provide the
Advisory Board with possible "grandfather clause" wording to address this issue. The
Advisory Board decided to recommend taking cats back out of the at -large section of the
ordinance and instead address them in the nuisance section of the ordinance. This is listed as
Option A" of section 915.17 in the ordinance.
As indicated, one of the most difficult areas addressed was the cats at -large section. Since
this was a concern of so many citizens and an enforcement issue, we have provided an option
to the Public Safety Advisory Board's nuisance section. In this option, we would retain the
nuisance section, but include cats in the at -large section which also provides a "grandfather
clause." This is "Option B" of section 915.17 in the ordinance.
Council will also note that staff has recommended that although the ordinance would be
adopted now, the effective date would be January 1, 1999. This would allow time to produce
and distribute education and informational materials'within the community on the new
regulations. We would also have an opportunity to arrange for a rabies/microchip clinic to
give people an opportunity to get these provided at low cost before they are required.
4. ALTERNATIVES: The Council could direct that certain portions be eliminated or changed.
5. BUDGET IMPACT: There should be no large impact on the budget. Although there are
changes in the license fees allowing them to be cheaper for spayed and neutered animals and
free at the license clinics, there is now provision to license cats. Overall staff believes the
impact on revenues would not be great. We also believe the proposed costs are reasonable
and would cover the costs of the service provided. .
6. RECOMMENDATION: The Public Safety Advisory Board and staff recommends the
adoption of the proposed ordinance with the selection of either Option A (Public Safety
Advisory Board) or Option B (staff) in section 915.17.

Agenda Number:
TO: Dwight D. Johnson, City Manager
FROM: Craig C. Gerdes, Director of Public ,Safety
SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER IX OF THE PLYMOUTH
CITY CODE CONCERNING ANIMALS
DATE: December 7, 1998 for December 16, 1998 City Council Meeting
ACTION REQUESTED: The City Council adopt an ordinance amendment to Chapter IX
in regard to animals.
2. BACKGROUND: At its July 22, 1998 meeting, the City Council adopted a major revision
to the animal ordinance. The Public ,Safety Advisory Board had coordinated review of the
ordinance which included public input through a questionnaire in the January 1998 City
Newsletter, and two public meetings on February 19, 1998 and May 21, 1998. When the
ordinance was considered by Council on July 22"`
x,
there were two options given regarding
the issLre of cats at Iarge. The two options were:
OPTION A:
915.17. Dogs Prohibited from Running at Large. Subdivision 1. General Rule.
No Owner of a dog shall permit it to be At Large within the City. Every Owner of a dog
shall keep it Under Restraint at all times. An exception to this requirement is dogs are
allowed within a body of water for training and/or exercise purposes as long as they
are not within 300 feet of any public swimming area and are not found to be creating a
nuisance as defined in this ordinance.
OPTION B,
915.17. Dogs and Cats Prohibited from Running at Large. Subdivision 1.
General Rule. No Owner of a dog or cat shall permit it to be At Large within the City.
Every Owner of a dog or cat shall keep it Under Restraint at all times. An exception to
this requirement is dogs are allowed within a body of water for training and/or exercise
purposes as long as they are not within 300 feet of any public swimming area and are
not found to be creating a nuisance as defined in this ordinance.
Subdivision 2. Exemption. Cats who are outdoor cats within the city at the time
of adoption of this ordinance may be exempt from this section of the ordinance for the
lifetime of the animal by meeting the following requirements. The owner must register
the cat by December 31, 1998, the cat is required to be spayed/neutered, and the
owners must agree to be responsible for any damage to property done by the cat and
work with victim and police to ensure solution to the problem being created.
The City Council adopted the ordinance with Option B, but sent this item along with several
others back to the Public Safety Advisory Board or staff for further review. On this issue, the
Advisory Board was asked to try and find another option in between Options A and B for
Council consideration. The Public Safety Advisory Board reconsidered the issues of cats at
large, licenses for indoor cats, and including ferrets in the number of animals allowed and
multiple animal licenses. They have new recommendations for Council consideration on
these issues. Staff has considered the issue of multiple animal licenses and is reconunending
a process for application and approval or denial of these licenses. Staff also recommends a
change in the effective date for the licensing requirement on cats. We believe this is the
wrong time of the year for a rabies/ licensing/inicrochip clinic and would like to schedule it
for the spring. We also believe this event should take place before the licensing requirement
is effective.
The Council also sent the issue of developing an area for off -leash exercise for dogs to staff
for further review. This issue is under review by Park and Recreation staff.
3. ALTERNATIVES: Three alternate ordinances are included for Council consideration. The
first includes all changes recommended by the Public Safety Advisory Board. This includes
all recommendations in the second and third options plus the Advisory Board
recommendation about changing the cats -at -large language.
The second changes the effective date for cat and multiple animal licenses and allows indoor
cats to be licensed at no charge and adds farm animal language to bring it into compliance
with the zoning ordinance. This option is the recornmendation of staff. It includes the
recommendation in the third option, along with the process for multiple animal licenses.
The third option changes only the effective date for cat and multiple animal licenses and adds
farm animal language to bring it into compliance with the zoning ordinance. If the Council
determines they would prefer not to make any fundamental changes to ordinance language,
this is the minimal change that would be required. Cat licenses have been ordered, but will
not be in and available until January and we would also not have time to process multiple
animal licenses by January 1. This change would allow rrs to begin offering these licenses in
January, but they would not be required Until July I".
4. DISCUSSION: The Public Safety Advisory Board considered the issue of cats at large and
attempted to find a proposal which would be somewhere in between the two proposals as
requested by the Council. The Advisory Board strongly believed that cats should not be
restricted from being at large, but enforceruent should be on a nuisance basis. They were
strongly against restricting cats from being at large with the grandfather clause. They have a
new proposal which allows cats to be at large, unless they have been impounded more than
twice for a nuisance problem. Under this option, cats
Could be impounded for no license
Could be impounded if a nuisance
Could not be at large if impounded as nuisance three or more times.
On the issue of licensing indoor cats, in discussion the Board believes licensing is necessary
to ensure rabies vaccination and assist in the return of any animal which may get outside.
They opted to waive any fees for licensing with indoor cats in their recommendation.
The Board also agreed with the Council that as ferrets also need to be vaccinated for rabies,
they should be included in the number restrictions and multiple animal licenses. No upper
limit on multiple animals was set as the Board could not agree on a number as there are too
many variables to be considered with the size and type of animal and property. This issue is
addressed instead during the consideration of an application during the inspection to ensure
the owners can safely and properly care for the number of pets they are requesting.
There is also a need to change the required date for cat licensing and multiple animal
licenses. The cat licenses are ordered and should be available.in January, but we are
requesting that they not be required until July 1, 1999. The same would apply to multiple
animal licenses. This would give pet owners and staff six months to work on getting these
issued. It would also allow us to have the rabies/licensing/microchip clinic in the spring
when it would be easier for more people to attend.
Option C is the minimal option as it only changes the effective date for the new cat licenses
and multiple animal licenses. Option B frorn staff includes the effective date plus allowing
free licenses for indoor cats and the process for multiple animal licenses. Option A from the
Public Safety Advisory Board, contains all of Option B plus deleting the cats-at-Iarge
language with a new option along with language adding ferrets to multiple animal licenses.
Notices of the proposed changes were mailed to all on the animal list. Information about the
proposal was also put in the December City Newsletter.
S. BUDGET IMPACT: There is no impact on the budget from these changes.
G. RECOMMENDATION: The Public Safety Advisory Board recommends all of the changes
outlined in the discussion area ofthe agenda itern. These changes are addressed in ordinance
Option A attached.
The staff does not recommend deleting the cat -at -large language. The cat -at --large language
in our ordinance is easier to enforce than the proposed nuisance language. The staff does
recon7nlend changing the effective date of the requircment for cat and multiple animal
licenses and that the license fee for indoor cats be waived. We have also included the process
for application for multiple animal licenses. These changes are addressed in ordinance
Option B attached.
If the council chooses not to make either of the above changes, the staff recommcrnds the
addition of the farm aninial language for compliance with the zoning ordinance and the
change to the effective date of the cat and multiple animal licenses are required. These
changes are addressed in ordinance Option C attached.

SUBJECT: Outlot Study
Following the City's sketch review of a former PUD outlot, the City Council asked staff
to complete aninventory and analysis of the development potential of all former PUD
outlots. This memo summarizes the results of that effort.
BACKGROUND:
Prior to the complete re -write of the Zoning Ordinance in 1996, the City had only two
single family zoning districts. This situation resulted in overuse of the planned unit
development (PUD) to provide the flexibility that the market was dictating, but'the
standard ordinance districts could not provide.
Part of the impetus for the change In the PUD regulations came from the City Attorney,
who advised that the regulations in place at the time were vulnerable legally. Under the
previous ordinance, PUDs were created by conditional use permit, although the affected
property .retained its original, base zoning as well as the PUD status. With the 1996
ordinance, each PUD becomes a zoning district and the PUD is only used to allow design
modifications and/or a mixture of uses as opposed to modifications in density as was the
case previously.
With the adoption of the new ordinance, the City Attorney opined that the former PUD
outlots lost any protected status conferred through the PUD approval. Consequently,
asstuning the outlots meet all dimensional and performance requirements, they can be
developed.
OUTLOT DEFINITON AND REGULATION:
The Zoning Ordinance defines an outlot as follows:
A parcel of -land subject to future platting prior to development; or a parcel of
land which is designated for public or private open space, right-of-way, utilities
or other similar purposes.
Section 21105.03, Subd. 8 of the ordinance states that "outlots are deemed unbuildable
and no building permit shall be issued for such properties, except that permits for fences
may be issued."
PURPOSE OF OUTLOTS:
Historically in Plymouth, PUD outlots were created for useable open space in return for
density bonus credits and storm water retention. To limit issues of tax forfeiture, the City
has narrowed the range of acceptable outlot purposes in recent years, regardless of
whether the outlot is located in a PUD or a straight -zoned subdivision. For example, the
City requires that any. recreational areas be platted as a lot and block. Plus;, wetlands
must be platted as part of adjacent lots rather than separately as outlots. The City still
allows outfots for'storm water ponds, but is less concerned about tax forfeiture as the City
is now responsible for pond maintenance.
OUTLOT INVENTORY:
Staff identified roughly 170 outlots created as part, of a pre -1996 PUD. The majority are
unbuildable due to limited access or the existence of wetlands or are City -owned and
used for parks, trails or open space. However.,, considering Zoning; rdinance
requirements in the zoning districts the outlots are located, 12 former PUD outlots have
development potential (refer to attached graphics). -
The purpose behind the ;creation of the 12 -potentially developable outlots was, exclusively
for open space or ponding. For creating the open space, the City awarded;density
bonuses.
Lot sizes among the 12 outlots range from 0.6 acres to 9.3 acres. Half are less than 2
acres in size. All but the 9+ acre outlot are less than 3.5 acres in size. Some of the 12
outlots are encumbered with easements and wetlands, which could potentially reduce the
amount of development potential.
OPTIONS FOR FUTURE:
Staff has discussed how the City can address the development status of former PUD
outlots with the City Attorney. He has indicated that had the City taken ownership of the
open space/ponding outlots or required the developer to place them in a permanent
2
conservation easement, the loss of PUD status would not have affected their legal status.
In many cases, developers did dedicate outlots to the City. In no cases were outlots put in
a conservation easement. In the case of the 12 outlots with development potential, none
have any special status other than some have significant drainage and Lrtility' easements.
The City could limit development potential on these outlots by simply maintaining the
easements.
In the case of the outlots with no significant easements, the City Attorney has indicated
that the City would be limited legally in re-establishing an open space status. If the City
would guide the former PUD outlots as open space, the courts would likely.consider this
action to be a taking and require the City to compensate the owners.

MEMO
CITY OF PLYMOUTH
3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD, PLYMOUTH, MN 55447
DATE: August 20, 2007
TO: Barbara Senness, Planning Manager
COPY: Steve Juetten, Community Development Director
FROM: Joshua Doty, Planner
SUBJECT: Lake Setback Research
1. DESCRIPTION:
The City reviewed three planning applications in 2007 that neighboring property owners
objected. to because their lake views would be impacted by a new home. This memo
describes Plymouth's current requirements regarding structure setbacks from lakes and
provides the practices in other suburban communities. The memo will also establish if
these communities have any requirements that regulate building construction to protect
lake views from existing buildings.
2. CITY OF PLYMOUTH LAKE SETBACK REQUIREMENTS:
The City's shoreland regulations establish minimum setbacks from lakes and tributary
streams for all structures. The minimum setback requirements range from 50 feet to 150
feet depending on the classification of the lake and if the property is served with
municipal sewer and water or not.
In addition to the minimum setback requirements, the shoreland regulations also allow
buildings to be placed closer to the lake or stream if the adjacent buildings are set back
closer than the minimum setback requirements. The ordinance allows an average of the
neighboring buildings as shown below:
In the example above, you can see that even though there is a minimum 100 -foot setback
requirement, the proposed home may be placed at the 50 -foot average setback of the
neighboring homes.
Below is a graphic example of the three Plymouth variances that neighboring property
owners objected to over the past year:

In the example above, you can see that even though there is a minimum 100 -foot setback
requirement, the proposed home may be placed at the 50 -foot average setback of the
neighboring homes.
Below is a graphic example of the three Plymouth variances that neighboring property
owners objected to over the past year:
In the example above, the proposed home is allowed to be placed closer to the lake than
the existing homes because the minimum 100 -foot setback requirement is met.

In the example above, the proposed home is allowed to be placed closer to the lake than

3. RESEARCH FINDINGS:
I contacted 10 cities (Maple Grove, Golden Valley, Edina, St. Louis Park, Minnetonka,
Eden Prairie, Bloomington, Shorewood, Channhasen, and Orono) to review how they
regulate lake setbacks. I found that all of the cities surveyed have minimum setback
requirements and nine of the 10 cities do not have any additional standards designed to
protect views.
One of the nine cities (Chanhassen) adopted an ordinance that required any new
construction to equal the average of the existing structures on each side for riparian lots.
Existing
Home
Proposed
Home
Existing
Home
100 -Foot
Minimum

Setback
150 -Foot 175 Feet
125 Feet Average
In this example, you can see that the proposed home may not be placed at the 100 -foot
minimum setback requirement, but rather must be placed at the 150 -foot average setback.
After three years, the City of Chanhassen removed the averaging requirement from their
ordinance and minimum setback requirements were re-established. The City found that
the averaging requirement was very difficult to administer.
One of the other nine Cities (Eden Prairie) is currently reviewing their ordinance after
receiving my request for zoning information related to this topic. Their staff currently
has differing interpretations of their requirements. Eden Prairie has a similar
matching/averaging provision to what is in our ordinance, which allows homes to be
placed closer to the lake if the adjacent homes are located closer to the lake than the
minimum setback requirement (see attached ordinance). Eden Prairie staff has
interpreted that the ordinance requires that a home match the neighboring homes; even if
they are set back further than the minimum setback requirements. After reviewing their
ordinance, I did not find any language that requires a matching of neighboring setbacks.
The City of Orono is the one city surveyed that has requirements designed to protect
views. Their ordinance (see attached) requires that a home may not be located closer to
the lakeshore than the average setback of the existing homes on each side (see
Chanhassen example graphic above). The Orono ordinance also allows the Planning
Director to administratively approve variances to this provision, provided that no views
are obstructed with the new construction, and that the adjacent neighbors provide written
approval. The City of Orono indicated that they do not typically grant these types of
administrative variance approvals because in most instances, the average lakeshore
setback can be met on the property.

ZONING REQUIREMENTS RELATED TO LAKE SETBACKS
Subd.10. Placement and Height of Structures.
A. Placement of Structures on Lots. When more than one setback applies to a site,
structures and facilities must be located to meet all setbacks. Where structures exist on
the adjoining lots on both sides of a proposed building site, structure setbacks may be
altered without a variance to conform to the adjoining setbacks from the ordinary high
water level, provided the proposed building site is not located in a shore impact zone or
in a bluff impact zone. Structures shall be located as follows:
1. Stairways, lifts, and landings may be either constructed above the ground on
posts or pilings, or placed into the ground, provided they are designed and built in
a manner that ensures control of soil erosion.
2. Stairways, lifts, and landings must be located in the most visually
inconspicuous portions of lots, so as to minimize the view £tom the surface of the
public water assuming summer, leaf -on conditions, whenever practical.
3. Facilities such as ramps, lifts, or mobility paths for physically handicapped
persons are also allowed for achieving access to shore areas, provided that the
dimensional and performance standards of Subd. 9B and 9C are complied with in
addition to the requirements as.contained in Minnesota Rules, Chapter 1340 a
copy of which is hereby adopted by reference and declared to be a part of this
ordinance.
B. Height of Structures.' All structures in residential districts, must not exceed 35 feet in
height.

5) Fences, docks, retaining walls. No fence shall be placed within the shore setback
zone. Portions of dock located landward of the OHWL shall be considered as a landing,
subject to the regulations for landings per section 78-1282. Retaining walls shall not be
placed within the shore setback zone.
6) Average lakeshore setback. No principal or accessory structure shall be located
closer to the lakeshore than the average distance from the shoreline of existing residence
buildings on adjacent lots; except that this does not apply to stairways, lifts, landings and
lockboxes. Further, the average lakeshore setback shall apply only to classified lakes and
shall not apply to tributaries. The average lakeshore setback line shall be a straight line
connecting the most lakeward protrusions of the residence buildings on the immediately
adjacent lakeshore lots.
a. In instances where the average lakeshore setback can not be met, administrative
approval may be granted at the discretion of the planning director provided no lake views
of an adjacent lakeshore lot are obstructed and adjacent neighbors provide written
approval.
