Status of County Road 47 The Council discussed with Hennepin County Commissioner Penny Steele, a representative for Commissioner Mark Stenglein, and Jim Grube, Hennepin County Engineer, the status of the County Road 47 ownership issue as well as the possibility of a traffic signal at the intersection of County Road 47 and Vicksburg Lane. Regarding the traffic signal, County Engineer Grube stated based on their analysis of this intersection, a traffic signal could be warranted, but not justified based upon their rating system of intersections. He noted that County Road 47 doesn't serve a County need. It was discussed that there would be future road improvements that would be necessary for County Road 47 when the Minnesota Department of Transportation makes improvements to the I-494 overpass. Those costs would be the responsibility of whoever owns the road, whether it's the County or the City. After a considerable amount of the discussion, it was unanimously agreed that the traffic signal should be installed at the intersection of County Road 47 and Vicksburg Lane. Secondly, that County and City staffs should present swap options for County Road 47 with another roadway in the City. Proposed Council Minutes 1 of 1 Special Meeting of June 24, 2008 - .

PROPOSAL: Variance for a side yard setback LOCATION: 19010 3150 Place North REVIEW DEADLINE: September 27, 2008 PROPOSED MOTION: Move to adopt the attached resolution approving a variance for side yard setback to allow the construction of a driveway expansion, as recommended by the Planning Commission. Approval of a variance requires a 417 vote of the City Council. DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST: The applicant is requesting approval of a variance to allow construction of a driveway expansion for the home located at 19010 31 st Place North. The variance would allow for a one -foot setback from the south (side) lot line, where the Zoning Ordinance specifies a minimum setback of three feet. In August, 2007, the applicant requested a setback variance for a driveway expansion to be done in conjunction with the construction of a third -stall garage addition. Based on neighborhood opposition to the third -stall garage addition, the applicant withdrew the request Page 7 File 2008046 Page 2 prior to the Planning Commission meeting. The subject application does not include a garage addition. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: At their June 18, 2008 meeting, the Plarining Commission unanimously recommended approval of this item on their consent agenda. The Planning Commission minutes are attached. Notice of public meeting at the Planning Commission was mailed to all property owners within 2.04 feet. The notification area map is attached. CONTEXT: Surrounding Land Use and Zoning Previous Actions Affecting Site The subject property is located in the Churchill Farms 2°d Addition subdivision, which was platted in 1992. The home was also constructed in 1992. LEVEL OF CITY DISCRETION IN DECISION-MAKING: The City's discretion in approving or denying a variance is Iimited to whether or not the proposed project meets the standards in the Zoning Ordinance for a variance. "The City has a relatively high 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. PROPOSAL: Section 21135.08 of the Zoning Ordinance requires a three foot side yard setback for residential single family driveways. The requested variance would allow construction of a driveway expansion two feet into the required three -loot side yard setback. The applicant has indicated that they would raise the elevation of the driveway and would add driveway curbing to direct storm water run-off to the street (away from the neighboring properties to the cast and south), The applicant states that the increased driveway space would allow additional parking for their family on their property.

Page 2 File 2008046 Page 3 FINDINGS; Staff used the seven general standards in Section 21030 of the Zoning Ordinance to make the following bindings on the requested variance. A copy of the standards is attached. Hardship The pie -shape of the lot creates a hardship as distinguished from a mere inconvenience due to the angles of the side yard lot lines in relationship to the placement of the home on the lot. There is also a slope around the side of the existing garage. which does not allow for the driveway to be expanded on the side of the garage where the side setback could be met_ Therefore, the applicant's only viable option for additional drivewaylparking space is in the location proposed. Unique Circumstances The conditions of the requested variance are unique based upon the shape of the parcel and the location and setback of the house on the lot, If the home were constructed further back on the lot there would be enough space for the driveway expansion to meet the side yard setback requirement. Purpose of Variation The requested variance is not based exclusively upon a desire to increase land value or income potential of the property, but to accommodate parking space on the driveway to provide for the homeowner's parking needs. Source of Hardship The homeowners purchased the home in 1992 after it was constructed. Minnesota case law has deten-nined that a self-created hardship on its own is not a sufficient basis for a city to deny a variance. Neighborhood Impact The granting of the variance would not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other land or improvements in the neighborhood. The applicant would direct any additional storm water runoff away from the neighboring properties to the south and east, through the use of a curb edge along the driveway. The proposed addition would not impair an adequate supply of light or air to adjacent property, nor would it substantially increase congestion in public streets, increase the danger of fire, endanger the public safety. or substantially diminish property values within the neighborhood. Page 3 File 2408046 Page 4 Minimum Action The requested variance is the minimum action necessary to eliminate the hardship as the associated driveway expansion creates the least impact to the neighboring properties, as it provides additional off-street parking space for the home owners without the addition of a third - stall garage. CONCLUSION. Staff has concluded that the variance request meets all of the applicable standards. However, since this conclusion is based on standards that are open to some interpretation, the City Council could reasonably reach another conclusion on this application. RECOMMENDATION: Community Development Department staff recommends approval of the variance to allow a one - foot side yard setback for a driveway expansion for property located at 19010 31St Place North, subject to the conditions listed in the attached resolution.

Section 21030 -Plymouth Zoning Ordinance formsNariance Standards.doc) Page 6 BREW DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST May 29, 2008 To whom it may concern: J MAY 3 Q 2006 On behalf of my family, I respectfully request a variance from the City of Plymouth to allow part of a new, expanded driveway to be nearer than three feet from my residential property line. City Zoning Ordinance Section 21030, which requires residential driveways to be at least three feet from the property line, expressly affords some flexibility for homes on cul-de-sacs, like ours. This ordinance, which allows an automatic variance for the first few feet of the driveway, appears to recognize that cul-de-sacs create special circumstances due to the geometric peculiarities of cul-de-sac property lines. The new section of driveway would start at the front edge of my garage and drain to the cul-de-sac. The new section of driveway will run to within 1 foot of the property line bordering my neighbor to the east for approximately 20 feet and gradually angle back to the 3 foot setback distance. The driveway plan includes a curb at the northeast edge of the drive so that all run-off will drain to the cul-de-sac. (See drawing.) The new section of driveway may actually improve the water run off situation with the neighbor to the east. My neighbor to the east fully supports this request and my proposed project. Last year I submitted a similar request for variance, which the City planning commission recommended to approve. My prior request for variance was in conjunction with the planned construction of a 3`d stall attached garage. However, we decided not to build the garage and, so, did not pursue the variance beyond the planning commission's positive recommendation. The "hardship" I wish to emphasize relates to my family's bona fide need for more driveway space. In the responses below, I have tried to respond fully and faithfully to the questions set forth on the Variance Summary Application Checklist. I would be happy to respond to any additional questions. 1. Our home, with its attached, 2 -car garage, is located on a pie -shaped lot on a cul- de-sac. We currently have five children and four licensed drivers. Over the past few winters, we have had to toggle vehicles in the garage and on the driveway just to orchestrate snow removal. Twice in the past two years, family drivers have backed one car into another. Two years ago, a Plymouth police officer came to the front door to address a complaint that one of our cars was parked in the cul- de-sac when an extended family member was visiting from Montana. The new driveway would expand our parking space on the driveway for another car. 2. The requested variance relates to the unique aspect of the placement of our home on the pie -shaped lot on the cul-de-sac. As the attached drawings reflect, there is 00 904 60 Page 7 City of Plymouth Request for Variance 5/30/2008 no way to run the proposed driveway expansion to the cul-de-sac without a segment of it pushing close to the property line. 3_ This request for variance does not relate in any way to an effort to increase our property value. Rather, it relates entirely to practical necessity. 4. The described hardship is not of our own doing, but relates entirely to the ordinance and the shape of the lot. 5. Granting this variance will have no negative impact on the public welfare and will not be injurious to other land or improvements in the neighborhood. 6. The requested variance: (a) would not impair light or air to adjacent property; (b) would actually lessen congestion on public streets; (c) would have no negative effect on fire danger, (d) would not endanger public safety; and (e) would not substantially diminish or impair property values in the neighborhood. 7. The requested variance is the minimum action required to eliminate the hardship. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, )7q, , r' s/ Mark A.

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 Paquette Construction for a side yard setback variance to allow construction of a driveway expansion at 19010 315 Place north, subject to the following conditions: 1. This resolution approves a two -foot setback variance to allow a driveway expansion to be one foot from the side yard in accordance with the plans and application received by the City on May 30, 2008, except as amended by this resolution. 2. The variance for the side yard setback is approved with the finding that the applicable variance standards are met. Specifically: a) The pie -shape of the lot creates a hardship as distinguished from a mere inconvenience due to the angles of the side yard lot lines in relationship to the placement of the home on the lot. There is also a slope around the side of the existing garage, which does not allow for the driveway to be expanded on the side of the garage where the side setback could be met. Therefore, the applicant's only viable option for additional driveway/parking space is in the location proposed. b) The conditions of the requested variance are unique based upon the shape of the parcel and the location and setback of the house on the lot. If the home were constructed further back on the lot there would be enough space for the driveway expansion to meet the side yard setback requirement. c) The requested variance is not based exclusively upon a desire to increase land value or income potential of the property, but to accommodate parking space on the driveway to provide for the homeowner's parking needs. Page 16 Resolution 2008- 2008046) Page 2 of 2 d) The homeowners purchased the home in 1992 after it was constructed. Minnesota case law has determined that a self-created hardship on its own is not a sufficient basis for a city to deny a variance. e) The granting of the variance would not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other land or improvements in the neighborhood. The applicant would direct any additional storm water runoff away from the neighboring properties to the south and cast, through the use of a curb edge along the driveway. f) The proposed addition would not impair an adequate supply of light or air to adjacent property, nor would it substantially increase congestion in public streets, increase the danger of fire, endanger the public safety, or substantially diminish property values within the neighborhood. g) The requested variance is the minimum action necessary to eliminate the hardship as the associated driveway expansion creates the least impact to the neighboring properties. as it provides additional off-street parking space for the home o-wners without the addition of a third -stall garage. 3. Any subsequent phases or expansions are subject to required reviews and approvals per Ordinance provisions. 4. This variance approval 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 Section 21030.06 of the Zoning Ordinance.

PROPOSAL: Comprehensive Plan Amendment to reguide land from LA -2 to P -I for the Northwest Greenway Rezoning from FRD to P -I and RSF-3 Preliminary Plat for "Wood Crest" for 54 single-family lots and 2 outlots LOCATION: REVIEW DEADLINE: 5750 Vicksburg Lane Septeanber 12, 2008 PROPOSED MOTION: Move to adopt the following attached items, as recommended by the Planning Commission: a) a resolution approving reguiding, b) an ordinance approving rezoning; c) a resolution approving findings of fact supporting the rezoning; and d) a resolution approving the preliminary plat for Wood Crest. Approval of a reguiding requires a 517 vote of the City Council, and approval of a rezoning, findings of fact, and preliminary plat requires a 4/7 vote of the City Council. Page 1 File 2008042 Page 2 DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST: The applicant is requesting approval of the following items: 1) Comprehensive plan amendment to reguide 2.38 acres in the northern portion of this roughly 20 -acre site from LA -2 (Living Area 2) to P-1 (Public/Semi-Public/lnstitutional) for land to be dedicated for the Northwest Greenway; 2) Rezoning of the site from FRD (Future Restricted Development) to P-1 (Public/Instihttional) for the northerly 2.38 acres to be dedicated for the Northwest Greenway and to RSF-3 Single Family Detached 3) for the remainder of the site; and 3) Preliminary plat for "Wood Crest" for 54 single-family lots and 2 outlots. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: On June 18, 2008, the Planning Commission conducted the public hearing on the proposal, and subsequently voted unanimously to recommend approval. The applicant was present in support of the proposal. Other than the applicant, no one from the public wished to speak: on the matter. A copy of the Planning Commission minutes is attached. In response to a question from the Commission, the applicant stated that a parking lot would not be constructed for the private HOA swimming pool. The applicant added that the homeowner's association by-laws would restrict parking at the private HOA swimming pool. In response to another question from the Commission, staff stated that the future development to the south would connect into the temporary lift station manhole which would convert it to gravity flow. Notice of the Planning Commission's public hearing was published in the City's official newspaper. Because the proposal includes a reguiding and rezoning, two mailed notices were sent out to all property owners within 750 feet of the site. One notice was sent upon City receipt of the application, and the other notice was sent 12 days prior to the public hearing. A copy of the notification area map is attached. Development signage remains on the site. CONTEXT: Site Guiding and Zoning The subject site is currently guided LA -2 (Living Area 2), and is currently zoned FRD (Future Restricted. Development). Page 2 File 2008042 Page 3 Surrounding Land Use and Zoning Natural Characteristics of Site The site is located in the Elm Creek and Shingle Creek watershed districts. The site does not contain any land in the floodplain or shoreland overlay district. There are portions of three medium -quality wetlands on the site. The regulations pertaining to wetland mitigation and buffering are discussed later in this report. Previous Actions Affecting Site In August of 2000, the City Council reguided this property to LA -2 and added it to the urban area, as part of the 2000 Comprehensive Plan update. Under the plan, the existing single-family home and outbuildings would be removed From the site. 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, redevelopment, and growth. The City Council may guide property as it deems necessary to protect and promote the general health, safety and welfare of the community. The City has a relatively high level of discretion in approving or denying a rezoning application. The proposed zoning for a property must be consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. If the proposed zoning is not consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, the City must deny the rezoning application. The Zoning Ordinance and Map are the enforcement tools used to implement the goals and standards set by the Comprehensive Plan.

If it meets these standards, the City must approve the preliminary plat. ANALYSIS OF REQUEST; REGUIDING The applicant is requesting a Comprehensive Plan amendment to reguide the northerly 2.38 acres of the site, shown as Outlot A, from LA -2 (Living Area 2) to P -I (Public/Semi- Public/Institutional). The applicant would subsequently dedicate that area to the public as part of the Northwest Greenway corridor. When reviewing reguiding requests, the following items are analyzed and considered: Location Criteria —not relevant because there would not be wholesale reguiding changes or intensification of land use from what has been planned for on the site. Re-examination of the Comprehensive Plan During the 2000 Comprehensive Plan update, the City added this site to the urban area and reguided it from LA -R (Living Area -Rural) to its current LA -2 guiding classification. The City did not reguide the northern portion of the site to P -I at that time, because there was no associated development application. A development application has since been received for the site that includes dedication of land for the Northwest Greenway corridor. Therefore, now is an appropriate time to consider the reguiding of the northern 2.3)8 acres to P -I. Land Supply and Demand —The proposed reguiding would have minimal effects on land supply and demand. Merit of the Arnendrnent —The proposed reguiding has merit beyond the interests of the applicant. The reguiding and related dedication of this portion of the Northwest Greenway corridor would provide the public with a major parcel for this segment of the corridor. Impact on other Comprehensive Plan Elements The proposed reguiding would not have any negative effects on the other comprehensive plan elements such as transportation, sewers, water supply, housing, or parks. Fiscal Impacts --The proposed reguiding would not have any negative fiscal impacts on the City. The City has plamled to acquire and develop a greenway in this portion of the city. The Planning Commission and staff support the reguiding proposal, based upon the following findings: 1. Current conditions support a reexamination of the guiding. 2. The reguiding would not adversely affect land supply or demand. 3. The reguiding has merit beyond the interests of the applicant. 4. The reguiding would not result in negative effects on other comprehensive plan elements. 5. The reguiding would not result in negative fiscal impacts to the City. Page 4 File 2008042 Page 5 REZONING The applicant is requesting to rezone the site from FRD (Future Restricted Development) to P -I Public/Institutional) and to RSF-3 (Single Family Detached 3). Under the plan, the northerly 2.38 acres (Outlot A) would be rezoned to P-1 to accommodate dedication of a portion of the Northwest Greenway corridor. The remainder of this roughly 20 -acre site would be rezoned to RSF-3 to accommodate single-family development. The site lies inside the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) boundary. For properties located inside the MUSA, the FRD zoning district serves as a "holding zone" until a landowner or developer makes an application for development. At that time, such property shall be rezoned in accordance with its land use guiding designation in the Comprehensive Plan. Any development of this site would require rezoning from the FRD classification. Chapter 462.357, Subd. 2 of State Statutes requires that the Zoning Map for each city be consistent with its adopted Land Use Guide Plan. The subject site is guided "Living Area 2" LA -2) on the City's Land Use Guide Plan. The LA -2 guiding designation specifies a minimum density goal of three dwelling units per acre and a maximum of density of six dwelling units per acre. Based on the size of this site, it should accommodate 49 to 97 dwelling units—in accordance with the density goals identified in the Comprehensive Plan. The proposal for this site would include 54 dwelling units. Consequently, the proposal would be consistent with the density goals identified in the Comprehensive Plan. The Land Use Plan chapter of the City's Comprehensive Plan lists single-family detached dwellings as an appropriate land use in LA -2 areas. The RSF-3 district is listed as an appropriate corresponding zoning district for property that is guided LA -2. Consequently, the requested RSF-3 zoning and proposed density are consistent with the LA -2 guiding of the site. A copy of the LA -2 section of the Comprehensive Plan is attached. The applicant has determined that they could not meet the City's affordable housing goals due to land and development costs associated with single-family development. This site would not present a good option for the City to leverage affordable housing units, because the City could better use its resources to assist in the development of affordable housing units in higher density areas with multi -family dwellings. The Planning Commission and staff support the requested rezoning from FRD to P -I and RSF-3, with the following findings: 1. The P-1 zoning requested for the northerly 2.38 acres (Outlot A) would be consistent with the requested P -I guiding for that same portion of the site, pursuant to the City's Comprehensive Plan. 2. The RSF-3 zoning and proposed density requested for the remainder of the site would be consistent with its LA -21 guiding, pursuant to the City's Comprehensive Plan. Additionally, Page 5 File 2008042 Page 6 the requested RSF-3 zoning would be consistent with the RSF-3 zoning of the neighboring Taryn Hills development located north of the greenway. 3. -family development and lot arrangement would be consistent with theTheproposedsingle . City's Comprehensive Plan and would comply with all city standards. 4, adequate infrastructure would be available to support P-1 and RSF-3 zoning, as well as the development proposed for this site. PRELIMINARY PLAT The applicant is requesting approval of a preliminary plat to create 54 single-family lots and 2 outlots. Outlot A would contain 2.38 acres and would be dedicated to the public as part of the Northwest Greenway corridor. Outlot B would contain 0.08 acres (3,487 square feet) in the southwest portion of the plat, and would be owned by the homeowner's association. Outlot B would house a temporary sanitary sewer lift station. Temporary Lift Station The temporary lift station on Outlot B would be privately maintained by the homeowner's association. The temporary lift station would pump sewage to an elevation where it could flow northerly through a pipe along Vicksburg Lane to the Taryn Hills subdivision. As the properties to the south develop in the future (including the former Hampton Hills Golf site), the sanitary sewer for this plat would be connected to the south and would flow by gravity—eliminating the need for the temporary lift station. Outlot B would not be a buildable lot and would be encumbered with permanent drainage and utility easements. Right-of-Wcry Dedrealion Through the platting process, the applicant would dedicate a strip of land along the west boundary of the plat ranging from 27 feet wide in the south portion to 54 feet wide in the north portion (0.6 acres). This area would be dedicated as public right-of-way for Vicksburg Lane. Future Vicksburg Lane Reconstruction The City's capital improvement program (CIP) indicates this segment of Vicksburg Lane is scheduled to be reconstructed to a four -lane facility in 2011. The improvement project would include a bridge over the Canadian -Pacific Railroad tracks. Access The west boundary of this site abuts Vicksburg Lane, which is classified as a minor arterial roadway. Access to this site would be provided by a new public street called 57`h Avenue that Page 6 File 2008042 Page 7 would extend easterly into the site from Vicksburg Lane. Proposed 57`h Avenue would be stubbed to the east boundary of the plat to provide future access for development of properties to the east. Additionally, a street would be stubbed to the south boundary of the plat (lining up with the west side of proposed 57`h Place) to provide future access for development of properties to the south. As part of this proposed plat, the applicant would install a northbound right -turn lane and a southbound by-pass on Vicksburg Lane. Lot Arrangement The RSF-3 zoning district requires a minimum lot area of 7,000 square feet and a minimum lot width of 65 feet (as measured at the required front setback line). All of the proposed lots would meet or exceed these standards. Swimming Pool A private swimming pool and related pavilion/mechanical building would be provided on Lot 1, Block 4 located in the southwest portion of the plat. This area would be owned and maintained by the homeowner's association. Developers are not given park dedication credit for such private amenities. Wetland 11itigation The applicant proposes to fill 2,860 square feet of wetland in the southwest corner of the site in order to construct the new public street entrance to the site. The wetland impact must be mitigated pursuant to the rules of the Wetland Conservation Act and in accordance with the requirements of the City of Plymouth. The applicant has submitted a wetland replacement application that will be considered separately by the City Council. Staff has included approval of the wetland replacement plan as a condition of preliminary plat approval. In addition to the required mitigation, the applicant proposes to restore and enhance the existing wetland adjacent to the mitigation area in order to create a more significant and diversified wetland. R'etland Btrfferirag There are portions of three medium -quality wetlands on the site totaling 0.85 acres. The Zoning Ordinance requires that buffering be provided to protect wetlands. For medium -quality wetlands, the ordinance requires a natural wetland buffer strip averaging 30 feet in width from the wetland edge, together with a 15 -foot structure setback from the edge of the buffer. Tile proposal complies with the City's wetland buffering regulations.. Drainage/Treatment of Runoff The City requires storm drainage systems to be designed so that the post -development rate of runoff from a site does not exceed the pre -development rate. Additionally, the City requires treatment of storm water runoff before it enters the drainage system. The proposed development would include a water quality pond in the southwest portion of the site. The development would Page 7 Pile 2008012 Page 8 also include four smaller infiltration basins. The attached resolution addresses changes needed to the proposed drainage system, so it complies with all City regulations regarding drainage and water quality. Ti-ee Pi•eser-vation This development is subject to the City's tree preservation regulations. The regulations require preservation of at least 50 percent of the caliper inches of significant trees for residential development sites, or reforestation and/or monetary restitution for any removal in excess of that threshold. A significant tree is defined as one being eight inches or larger in diameter for deciduous trees, and four inches or larger in diameter for coniferous trees. The tree survey indicates 5,269 caliper inches of significant trees on the site. The applicant submitted a tree plan indicating that 51.1 percent of the significant trees would be preserved. Consequently, the proposal would comply the City's requirements for tree preservation. The ordinance does not require the planting of trees on single-family lots if the tree preservation regulations are met. Nevertheless, a new tree would be planted in the front yard of each proposed lot. Dedication of `Park Land The City's Subdivision Regulations require developers to dedicate park land to the City to satisfy the park needs identified in the Comprehensive Plan. The amount of land to be dedicated (or cash fee equivalent) is determined based on a formula that calculates the park land acreage needed based on the anticipated number of new residents for residential developments. The applicant would dedicate 2.38 acres of land for the Northwest Greenway. Based on the anticipated number of new residents that would result from the development, the applicant would be required to dedicate 3.05 acres of land to satisfy the park dedication requirement. The applicant would need to provide a cash payment to make up the difference between what would be dedicated and what is needed to satisfy the park needs. The final cash fee amount required would be determined at the time of final platting. TrailsfSidewalks The Comprehensive Plan identifies a future City trail along Vicksburg Lane. The trail would be installed upon reconstruction of Vicksburg Lane, The City would maintain that trail. The plans indicate a five-foot wide concrete sidewalk would be installed along one side of the public streets within this development, in compliance with the City's Subdivision Regulations. The homeowners association would maintain the sidewalks. The Plaruiing Commission and staff support the requested preliminary plat with the finding that the proposed plat would be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, and would comply with all standards outlined in the Subdivision Regulations and Zoning Ordinance. Page 8 File 2008042 Page 9 RECOMMENDATION: Community Development Department staff recommends approval of the following items. as recommended by the Planning Commission: a) a resolution approving reguiding; b) an ordinance approving rezoning; c) a resolution approving findings of fact supporting the rezoning; and d) a resolution approving the preliminary plat for Wood Crest.

(2008042) Chair Holmes introduced the request by Gonyea Company, Inc. for 1) a comprehensive plan amendment to reguide 2.38 acres from LA -2 (Living Area 2) to P -I (Public/Semi- Page 10 Draft Planning Commission Minutes June 18, 2008 Page 2 Public/Institutional) for land to be dedicated for the Northwest Greenway; 2) a rezoning from FRD (Future Restricted Development) to P -I (Public/Institutional) and RSF-3 (Single Family Detached 3); and ;) a preliminary plat for -Wood Crest" for 54 single-family lots and two outlots. Senior Planner Drill gave an overview of the staff report. Commissioner Davis asked if Outlot A would be dedicated to the City. Senior Planner Drill replied affirmatively, noting Outlot A would become part of the planned Northwest Greenway corridor. Commissioner Davis asked if there would be a parking lot for the private pool area. Senior Planner Drill stated the applicant could respond, but that similar privately - maintained neighborhood amenities are located in various developments throughout the City, and do not have separate parking lots or parking -related issues. Commissioner Davis asked for clarification on the turn lanes. He also asked if the temporary lift station on Outlot B would be maintained by the homeowners. Senior Planner Drill stated the developer would construct a northbound right -tum lane into the property, and a southbound by-pass lane on Vicksburg. He also stated that the lift station would be privately maintained by the homeowner's association. Commissioner Davis stated the developer typically controls the homeowner's association until a certain percentage of the homes are sold. He asked if the road stub to the south boundary of the plat would force the developer to the south to continue that roadway. Senior Planner Drill responded that the street stub would provide access between the site to the south and Vicksburg Lane. He added that the City limits access points on arterials roadways such as Vicksburg Lane. Chair Holmes introduced the applicant, Dave Gonyea, 6102 Olson Memorial Drive. Golden Valley, MN. Mr. Gonyea said the homeowner's association by-laws would restrict parking by the pool. He said in other plats he has developed. cities have specified that there not be a parking lot for the private neighborhood pool. Mr. Gonyea said that in addition to dedicating property for the Northwest Greenway. they would dedicate property along the west boundary of the site as right-of-way for the future expansion of Vicksbura Lane. y a Commissioner Nelson asked when development of the area would begin. Page 11 Draft Planning Commission Minutes June 18, 2008 Page 3 Mr. Gonyea responded they would begin construction this fall and anticipate having a model open for the Parade of Homes spring preview. Commissioner Nelson asked how maintenance of the temporary lift station would be handled. Mr. Gonyea responded the homeowner's association would take over maintenance when 75 percent of the homes are sold. He said maintenance would be addressed in the developer's agreement and homeowner's association documents. Commissioner Nelson asked if the pool area would be constructed after a percentage of the homes are sold. He also asked about security for the pool area. Mr. Gonyea responded that the pool area would be built in spring of 2009 as an amenity for marketing purposes. Mr. Gonyea said the pool would need to meet all commercial pool codes. He said the pool would have some lighting and would be secured with a 5 -foot high wrought iron fence. He added that the model homes would be constructed near the pool area. Commissioner Davis asked about the process for eliminating the temporary sanitary lift station in the future. Assistant City Engineer Rennerberg responded that when development occurs to the south, that development would connect into the temporary lift station manhole which would convert it to gravity flow. He added that developer would be responsible for the cost. Chair Holmes opened and closed the public hearing as there was no one present to speak on the item. MOTION by Commissioner Davis, seconded by Commissioner Neset, to recommend approval of the attached resolutions and ordinance for the "Wood Crest" plat by Gonyea Company, Inc., consisting of a comprehensive plan amendment, rezoning, and preliminary plat.

The development will be named "Wood Crest". Wood Crest will consist of higher end single family homes. It is anticipated that these homes will range in price from $400,000 to $700,000 and therefore should be a welcome addition to the City of Plymouth's tax base. The site is located in a prime area of Plymouth with easy access to the transportation system. This will provide the future home owners a secluded place to live that is located within minutes of all the amenities Plymouth has to offer along with the regional facilities of the larger metropolitan area. The developer is planning to build an entrance to the site that will create an atmosphere of arrival to a residential subdivision. Food Crest" WAProjects13120-001 GONYEA - HIRSCHEY PARCEUInfo\LetterlNARRATIVE- 051508.doc 5115/2008 Page 14 The site will be landscaped to complement the existing wetlands and wooded amenities of the site. Over half the homes will walkout overlooking the existing wetlands located along the southerly and westerly boundary of the property or to the proposed wooded City Park along the north boundary of the site. The developer hopes to create a desirable living area having the feeling of being away from the big city that has access to the big city life just minutes away.

This land is currently zoned FRD (Future Restricted Development), The land is guided LA — 2 (3 — 6 units per acre). We are requesting a zoning of RSF— 3 which is a recommended zoning in the LA — 2 guiding. As part of our application we are proposing to meet all the requirements of the RSF - 3 zoning district. Plymouth Zoning We believe the RSF - 3 zoning will allow us to create a :smaller lot single family development while providing a transitional zoning change between the Taryn Hills project to the north and the undeveloped land to the south. The land to the south is guided LA — 3 (6 — 12 units per acre). The land to the north is now part of the City of Plymouth's Northwest Grecnway Corridor, in the Taryn Hills development area to the north the current zoning is RSF — 3. The development proposes 55 single family upper end homes on 65 foot wide lots. The site and homes are being designed to create a unique single family residential development. The proposed plan has a net density of 3.37 units per acre meeting the LA —21 (3 — Ci) units per acre guiding. A main feature of "Wood Crest" is the wooded area located along the northerly property line which i; 25 feet higher than the wetland along the southerly property line. This area will be dedicated to the City of Plymouth as park to preserve the mature woods and add 3— V.Wmjeetsi3120*01 GORYEA - HIRSCHEY PARCEDInfoUxtierNINARRATIVE- 051508.doe 511512008 Page 16 additional park land to the existing greenway corridor area along the south side of Taryn Hills, The combination of this park dedication with the Taryn Hills park dedication will provide a large greenway corridor from the future trail along the east side of Vicksburg. Lane to the vast wetland complex that extends southerly from County Road 47 to Pomerleau Lake. The Northwest Greenway Corridor will eventually connect up to the Three Rivers Trail System, as development occurs to the east of the site. Proposed Zoning — RSF - 3 Minimum Lot Area 7,000 square feet Minimum Width- 65 feet Front Yard Setback 25 feet Side Yard Setback — 6 feet to garage and 8 feet to living space Rear Yard Setback — 25 feet We are not requesting any variances. A preliminary plat lot area tabulation sheet is in Appendix A of this narrative. Site Analysis: The site is bordered on the north by City Park "Northwest Greenway Corridor- that is located along the southerly boundary of Taryn Hills and on the west by Vicksburg Lane. The east is bordered by property with an existing single family home that isguided LAR Living Area Rural). The south is bordered by undeveloped property with one existing single family home that is guided LA — 3. The site currently has an existing home that will be removed as part of the development.. The topography is quite variable with low sloping wetlands along Vicksburg Lane on the west, another wetland located in the southeast corner of the site all sloping uphill to a central plateau area, near the existing home site. The site has approximately 50 feet of elevation difference from the wetland along Vicksburg Lane to the plateau area around the existing home site. The area along the north property line is heavily wooded and is proposed to remain undisturbed and dedicated to the City as parr as a part of the development. There are other groupings of trees scattered around the site. The site contains two wetland areas. The development will require the filling of 2,860 sf of the wetland along Vicksburg Lane for our proposed street entrance to the site. We are proposing mitigation on-site for this encroachment. The Soil Survey of Hennepin County indicates Lester loams, Shorewood silty clay loam, overwash - Hamel complex, Angus loam, and Dundas -Cordova complex present on the subject site. The soils that are present on 75% of the site consist of mostly well drained loams and clayey loams with a moderate permeability. The remaining 25% of the site is 4— WAM jeas13 1 20-00 1 GONYEA - HIRSCHEY PARCELIInCo\LeiteANARRATIVE-11S1508xlnc 5/15/2W8 Page 17 made up of somewhat poorly drained loams and clayey loams, These soil types are suitable for residential development. Existing sanitary sewer and watermain lines can be extended to provide utility service to this property. The sanitary sewer will require the construction of a temporary lift station that would stay in service until trunk sewer is extended to this site from the south. Minor utilities (gas, electric. phone, and TV) are available to serve. the site along Vicksburg Lane. Storm water will be managed and outletted from the site in accordance with the City and Watershed requirements. Street Design: Wood Crest" proposes to have public streets; all streets will be constructed to the City of Plymouth standard street section. Utility Services_ City sanitary sewer and water are currently available to serve the site. The sewer lines are sized to service the property. Due to the topography of the site and the proposed layout a temporary lift station will be required for the sanitary sewer until such time as the think sewer is extended to the property from the south. The preliminary utility plan shows the proposed layout of the utilities for the entire project. The minor utilities, bas, electric, phone, and cable, are all available at the proposed entrance to the site along Vicksburg Lane. Site Grading: The site grading is planned to begin in the summer of 2008. The entire project is proposed to be graded in one phase; the graded area is +/- 16 acres. We are proposing to grade all streets to the proposed holddowns and prepare corrected building pads for all home sites. Due to the site topography to facilitate this while minimizing any impacts to wetlands and minimizing impacts to trees we are proposing to construct retaining walls in some areas of the site. We are creating a stormwater pond at the entrance, the lowest area of the site and four proposed infiltration areas to help treat the storinwater runoff. The excavation of on-site material is estimated at +/- 90,000 cy. It is our design objective to balance the site with on-site material, some import of suitable structural fill material may be necessary for building pad, street, and retainini7 wall construction. As the final design analysis is completed we will provide detailed construction plans for the entire project to the City of Plymouth. 5— W.-WrcjectA.3120-001 GONYEA - HIRSCHEY PARCEL%1nfo\L.euerXNARRATIVE- 051508.doe 5/15/2008 Pace 18 Storinwater. The stormwater facilities proposed in "Wood Crest" are illustrated on the enclosed preliminary plans. Runoff from the site will be directed to infiltration areas and storm sewer inlet locations.. collected and conveyed to the proposed treatment pond. This pond will provide temporary storage of stormwater runoff, treatment of stormwater and sediment removal. The plan also proposes infiltration areas that will be created and landscaped to provide an aesthetically pleasing view for the new neighborhood. Two of these treatment areas will outlet stormwater that does not infiltrate into the storm sewer system. The stormwater plan will provide adequate treatment and storage to meet the City of Plymouth and Watershed District requirements. letlands: There are existinn wetlands on the site. A wetland delineation and classification was completed by Arrowhead. Environmental Consulting in Spring of 2008. A copy of the report is included with this application. Filling and/or impacts of wetlands has been minimized, there is a drainage ditch that provides outlet to the existing wetland located in the southeast corner of the site. The current site plan proposes to fill the 2,860 sf of wetland located along the west side of Vicksburg Lane for our entrance to the site. This impact will be mitigated on site. The City of Plymouth wetland buffers and setbacks are shown on the attached plans, we are proposing buffer averaging, in accordance with the rules outlined in the city wetland ordinances. Some construction will occur in the wetlands and the wetland buffer areas, care will be taken to ensure these areas are restored and seeded to create/restore the wetlands and the buffer areas. At the completion of construction and prior to home building wetland buffer markers will be placed at the specified locations. Traffic: Wood Crest" proposes one entrance to the site with access from Vicksburg Lane. It is anticipated that the 55 home Sites will generate 10 trips per day per home site for a total of 550 trips per day. Currently there is one home site located on the property that generate 10 trips per day, so the net increase is 510 additional trips per day from the property. The additional traffic generated from this site is not anticipated to have a noticeable impact on the existing traffic in the area and is on the lower end of the proposed Comprehensive Plan guiding. 6— W:Wrojeets1312U-QUI GONYEA - HIRSCHEY PARCEL_ InfolLetteANARRATIVE- 051508_duc 115n2UQ8 Page 19 Trail System: A public bituminous trail is proposed from the most northerly street of the site that will connect this :site to the City of Plymouth "Northwest Greenway Corridor" to the north. The trail location is proposed to allow us to save more trees. The site also proposes sidewalk along one side of the city streets to facilitate pedestrian traffic throughout the site and will connect to the future city trail proposed along the west side of Vicksburg Lane that will be constructed when Vicksburg Lane is upgraded. Woodland Areas & Protection: I. Introduction A current tree survey in accordance with City of Plymouth requirements has been completed for this site and is included in the submittal. II. Tree Species, Distribution and Size: The site has 5269 caliper inches of significant trees. There are a variety of trees located throughout the site. The species include Ash, Cedar. Cottonwood, Maple, Oak, Pine, Cherry, Elm, Box Elder, Locust, Willow, Poplar, Basswood, and Hickory. The main stand of trees is located along the north boundary and around the existing homestead. There are a few other smaller groupings of trees located throughout the site. The trees along the north boundary are the southern edge of the large mature woods that is located on the Ttuyn Hills site. These trees were saved through dedication to the City by the Lennar Corporation as parkland. Gonyea Company is also proposing to dedicate over two and a quarter acres of land along their north property line to the City for parkland allowing this area of the site to remain ungraded. These trees will also become a part of the greenway corridor from Vicksburg Lane to the large wetland complex on the north side of Pomerieau Lake. A table containing data on the trees, as well as a map which shows tree location, species, size and condition, are shown in the preliminary plans. Tree Removal & Restitution: Wood Crest" development will impact approximately 481-7r. of the significant trees on the site. The impact is below the allowable 50%, removal threshold allowed by the City of Plymouth. 7— WAPmjects\3120-001 GONYEA - HIRSCHEY PARCEf Inr6\Leuer%NARRATIVI - 051508.doe 3/192008 Page 20 Landscape Placa, Monuments, & Entrance: This development will create a site with preserved natural woodland areas and wetland views. The stormwater pond and treatment areas will have landscaping to create unique water treatment facilities for the proposed project. The entrance is proposed to have a divided roadway with landscaping. This will create a sense of luxury and livability for the new single family residents, while providing safer access to the site by providing an alternative entrance to the interior looped street for emergency vehicles in the instance where one side of the road is blocked. Homeowner's Association and Restrictive Covenants: The developer will prepare restrictive covenants and standards that will apply to the entire neighborhood during both the initial development and the overall operation of the subdivision. A select group of builders will participate in "Wood Crest" community. The restrictive covenants will be tailored to the developer's vision of the project. Each builder will be required to meet the specifics of building types, landscaping, and overall goals of the development. A master HOA will be created to include all of "Wood Crest". This master association will be in charge of the temporary lift station, monumentation, entrance, landscaping, infiltration basins, trail, retaining walls, as well as the overall grounds in the common open spaces. The HOA will also be responsible for maintenance issues within the subdivision. These may include special landscaping, mailboxes, signage, and other common elements.

The primary intent behind the LA -2 designation is to respond to a need for smaller homes on smaller lots. The City recognizes that the largest market for housing is still the single family home, but that land and building costs are putting single family homes out of the reach of many potential residents. The City needs to offer the opportunity for this type of housing alternative to expand opportunities for families seeking more affordable single family home living and to respond to changing demographics—as the population ages, there will be a growing need for smaller homes for empty nesters and for smaller families. LA -2 also offers the opportunity for townhomes, which provide additional life cycle housing opportunities. Townhomes in LA -2 neighborhoods offer residents a housing option with less maintenance than a typical single family home, but located in a familiar residential setting. In order to allow greater flexibility to preserve natural resources, the City may allow apartments up to 12 units in a single structure in areas guided LA -2 as long as the density is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The City will evaluate requests on a case by case basis where a developer can demonstrate that apartments could preserve a significant natural resource that would be lost through development of detached homes or townhomes. Guidelines and Criteria Minimum Density: Maximum Density: City Utilities: 3 units per acre 6 units per acre Required for all areas Corresponding Zoning Districts: RSF-3 (Single Family Detached 3) RSF-4 (Single and Two Family) RMF -1 (Multiple Family l) RMF -2 (Multiple Family 2) Other zoning districts may also be appropriate if the proposed development would meet the density criteria of 3 to 6 units per acre_ Types of Development: • Single family detached dwellings Two-family dwellings Townhomes Apartments with up to 12 units in a building if resource preservation criteria are met Churches, schools and private recreational facilities Development Location Criteria: • Not appropriate adjacent to principal arterial interchanges Desirable Facilities: • Neighborhood parks, school parks or mini parks within 1?? mile walkingdistance of the neighborhood Defined trail system that connects the neighborhood to other Plymouth Land Use Plan — August 8, 2000 4-28 Paye 23 services and facilities, including parks, schools, churches and neighborhood shopping areas Neighborhood shopping facilities within five minutes driving. time from the neighborhood Plymouth Land Use Plan — August S. 2400 4-29 Page 24 LAR LAR LAR Location Map- 2008042 Gonyea Company, Inc.

PROPOSED ACTION: That the City Council approve the attached resolution calling for a public hearing relating to the issuance of 501(c)3 revenue bonds on behalf of West Lutheran High School. 2. BACKGROUND: West Lutheran High School has requested that the City issue new 501(c)3 Revenue Bonds in the principal amount of $3,000,000 to refinance the existing private sector debt they have as a result of constructing the facility in 1996 and additional improvements made in 2001. Along with refinancing the outstanding debt, they will make some minor facility improvements to the school. There long term plan includes three phases. The first two phases are included in this bond issue and the third phase will be carried out sometime in the future. Phase I includes refinancing the existing private sector debt and making some minor modifications to the building. Phase II will create additional space to the north end of the facility and reorient the main entrance to the north while adding a number of classrooms. This addition will allow for the possible addition of a middle school. They will be fundraising for a portion of the phase Il costs. If they are not successful in their fundraising efforts and phase II is not able to precede, the bond funds will not be drawn down and there principle amount would be lowered. It is estimated that $500,000 of the bond proceeds are for phase 11. 3. FINANCIAL IMPACT: These bonds, unlike the normal bonds of the City issued for public improvements, city buildings, etc., are not general obligations of the City and the general funds and taxing powers of the City are not pledged to pay these Bonds. The bonds, and all expenses in connection therewith, are, directly or indirectly, the responsibility of the applicant. Payment for the bonds can only be made from the sources identified in the bond indenture, which will be executed in connection with the issuance of the bonds, consisting primarily of the payments received by the Trustee under the Loan Agreement, which will also be executed in connection with the issuance of the bonds. In addition to application and bond fees paid to the City, the applicant pays all costs of the bond issue. The City also receives an application fee and a bond fee of 118 of 1 percent of the bond amount at closing. These fees will help reimburse the City for the expense incurred such as staff time. The City's good name and reputation would be connected to this issuance. Page 1 4.

ACTION REQUESTED: Adopt a motion supporting Sandy Hewitt to serve on the Grant Evaluation and Ranking System (GEARS) Committee and appointing her as the City's voting delegate for the GEARS Committee selection. 2. BACKGROUND: The 2008 Transportation Finance Bill granted authority to metro area counties to form a joint powers board and implement a quarter cent sales tax for transit purposes. Five of the seven counties have entered into a joint powers board agreement and levied the tax. These five counties have formed the Counties Transit Improvement Board. The transportation bill also established a Grant Evaluation and Ranking System GEARS) Committee to rank and evaluate eligible transit projects for submission to the Counties Transit Improvement Board. This Committee is comprised of eight city representatives, three of whom will be from Hennepin County, Minneapolis will appoint a representative, and two other city officials will be elected from Hennepin County. The transportation bill designated the Metro Cities organization with the role of conducting an election to select the city representatives for the GEARS Committee. Attached is additional information about the GEARS Committee and the election process. Cities have been asked to appoint a voting delegate (each city gets one vote). The election instructions state, "The designated voter can be the same person who is running as a candidate for the GEARS committee." Councilmember Sandy Hewitt has expressed interest in serving on the GEARS Committee and intends to submit an application. Applicants will interview before a screening board, with a subsequent election on July 21. She plans to attend the July 21 election. 3. RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a motion appointing Sandy Hewitt as the City's designated voter for the GEARS election and supporting her election to the GEARS Coimnittee. Page 1 Counties Transit Improvement Board A Joint Powers Board of the Counties of Anoka, Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey and Washington June 19, 2008 The Honorable Jan Callison, President Metro Cities 145 University Avenue West Saint Paul, MN 55103 Dear Mayor Callison: On behalf of the Counties Transit Improvement Board (CTIB), 1 am writing to request that the Association of Metro Municipalities hold, as soon as practical, the election of the city representatives to the CTIB's Grant Evaluation and Ranking System (GEARS) committee. As you may be aware Anoka, Dakota, Hennepin, Ramey and Washington Counties have created the CTIB in order to administer the new quarter -cent sales tax for transitway development in the five counties. We are very excited about this new dedicated source of revenue and the system of transitways it will build Which will allow us to better serve the residents and businesses of the five - county area. We appreciated the city's support for the transportation bill this year and welcome the participation of the cities in the evaluation process. We believe the new law acknowledges the important role of local elected officials in identifying needs and implementing these critical transit projects. The GEARS committee will consist of five county commissioners appointed by the county boards, eight city officials and the chair of the Metropolitan Council Transportation Committee. The GEARS committee will be responsible for ranking and evaluating eligible transit projects for funding by the CTIB. It is CTIB's intent to act quickly to meet certain urgent funding needs. We anticipate that the CTIB will solicit its first round of grant applications later this summer. This first solicitation will be a streamlined and limited process, in order to address the critical concerns. It is our hope that GEARS will be established within the next month and be ready to start work with us later this fall with this exciting new process. It is our plan to hold a workshop in mid-August to fully brief GEARS committee members on roles, responsibilities and the 2008 grant process. It is important for you to know that the CTIB has only met twice and is working hard to address the issues arising in the development of a new organization charged with such an important responsibility. At this point, we have more questions than we have answers. We will work to keep you informed as we progress. We would appreciate a report on your elections at the next meeting of the CTIB on July 24th. CTIB Page 2 477 Selby Avenue, Saint Paul, MN 55102 June 19, 2008 Page Two The CTIB is looking for candidates for the GEARS committee who have a regional, long-term vision for the metropolitan area, experience in public service, an interest in transportation particularly transit, a commitment to the process and a track record of participation in other metropolitan or statewide organizations Attached is a copy of the law governing the GEARS committee, an outline of the anticipated time commitment for GEARS participants, a list defining eligible expenditures for the quarter -cent sales tax and a letter from the Department of Revenue outlining projected revenues. Thank you for your participation and commitment and we look forward to working with you.

The CTIB will initially be proposing grant applications be limited to five categories for the 2008 grant round. 1) Met Council — legislatively required $30,783,000 2) For operating assistance in qualified transitways 3) For construction funds to complete elements of transitways being constructed in 08-09 4) For financial commitments for a project moving into final design as a part of the FTA New Starts process. 5) Applications from member counties pursuant to Art. VII, Item H, of the Joint Powers Agreement. 2009 Grant Process and Beyond: At this point a timeline or schedule of meetings has not been set by the CTIB. However, staff is anticipating anywhere from ten to twelve meetings a year, with more of those taking place when the GEARS committee is doing its evaluation and rankings. It is thought the meetings will take place during the day and will be staffed by CTIB staff with the location yet to be determined.

PROPOSED ACTION: That the City Council approve the attached indemnification agreement relating to the Bassett Creek Office Centre environmental clean-up grants. 2. BACKGROUND: The City Council approved the application for the Bassett Creek Office Center on June 12, 2007. The site contains asbestos material and the developer will be required to remove this hazardous material as part of the development of the site. In August of 2007, the City was awarded funding from the Metropolitan Council, Department of Employee and Economic Development (DEED). The City was awarded additional supplemental funding for this project in January of 2008. The total funding awarded to the City for this project from DEED and the Metropolitan Council is $1,359,118. Due to market conditions softening, the developer has informed the City that they will not begin construction until they have lease commitments in the range of 40-60% of the office space. However, they have been diligently working on the contamination clean-up and they are expected to be completed with this work in the fall of this year. Staff and the developer have had conversations with the State agencies in charge of these grants and both DEED and the Met Council have agreed that the clean-up work should continue even though the actual construction of the building may be delayed, While we believe the market will turn around and this project will be successful, we also want to protect the City. Therefore, we have requested that the developer provide the City with an Indemnification Agreement that will provide more assurance that if something changes in the project and one or both of the State agencies request their funding back, the City will not be liable for the repayment and we will minimize the chance of having to take legal action. The City's attorney has reviewed this document and believes it will provide added protection for the City. 3. RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council approve the attached indemnification agreement relating to the Bassett Creek Office Centre environmental clean-up grants. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Indemnification Agreement Page 1 INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT THIS AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is made as of July , 2008, by and among JNA 55, LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company ("Developer") and JOHN N. ALLEN, individually ("Allen"), in favor of the CITY OF PLYMOUTH, a Minnesota municipal corporation ("City"). RECITALS: 1. Reference is hereby made to that certain instrument, styled "Agreement Regarding Deed and Metropolitan Council Grant Agreements," executed by Developer and City, and dated as of December 2, 2007 (hereinafter, the "Agreement Regarding Grants"). As contemplated by the Agreement Regarding Grants, Developer has performed certain environmental clean-up work (and plans to complete such work in the upcoming months). As also contemplated by the Agreement Regarding Grants, City has received grant proceeds from DEED and the Metropolitan Council, intended to reimburse Developer for the cost of performing such environmental clean-up work. Notwithstanding this, City has expressed reluctance to disburse these grant proceeds to Developer at this time, because Developer and City have yet to enter into a Development Agreement pertaining to the development of the subject property. City has indicated, however, that it is willing to disburse all proceeds that it receives under the Grant Agreements that are the subject of the Agreement Regarding Grants, provided that it receives the additional assurances being made herein, and provided that Developer thereafter complies with all applicable terms of the Agreement Regarding Grants. Developer and Allen are willing to provide such assurances. Allen is Developer's sole member, governor, and manager. NOW, THEREFORE, Developer and Allen agree as follows: 1. The above-described recital is true and correct and incorporated herein. 2. Developer and Allen hereby agree as follows: a. If either DEED or the Metropolitan Council, or both, hereafter conclude that Developer has (i) failed to construct the Project or perform the work as contemplated by the subject grants, or (ii) failed to do so in a timely manner or within the time limitations contemplated by the subject grants, or (iii) otherwise caused a default in any of the Grant Agreements that are the subject of the Agreement Regarding Grants; and if, as a result of so concluding, the City is compelled to return to either DEED or the Metropolitan Council, or both, any grant proceeds theretofore disbursed by City to Developer, Developer and Allen will provide promptly, on request, all funds needed by City for that purpose, and to otherwise indemnify and hold City and its agents and employees harmless from any claims or causes of action asserted by either DEED or the Metropolitan Council, or both, against City on account of any such failure or allegation by DEED or the Metropolitan Council that such a failure has occurred. 1 of 2 Page 2 b. Developer and Allen's liability under this paragraph 2 is joint and several. Each will be liable notwithstanding any release or discharge of the other's liability. C. The release of grant proceeds by City to Developer shall be sufficient consideration for the agreements set forth in this instrument. 3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in paragraph 2 shall not be construed to waive any rights that Developer has under the Agreement Regarding Grants or to bar any legal remedies Developer may have for City's failure to fulfill its obligations to release grant funds to Developer pursuant to the Agreement Regarding Grants or any claims Developer may have against DEED or Metropolitan Council, or both, for their failure to fulfill their respective obligations under the terms of the subject grants. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Agreement has been executed by the parties hereto as of the day and year first above written. John N. Allen, individually JNA 55, LLC By: John N.

DATE: June 30, 2008 for the City Council Meeting of July 8, 2008 TO: Laurie Ahrens, City Manager through Doran Cote, P.E., Director of Public Works FROM: Daniel K. Campbell, Sr. Engineering Technician SUBJECT: AMEND PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING SERVICES AGREEMENT COUNTY ROAD 9161 EROSION REPAIR PROJECT CITY PROJECT NO. 4135 ACTION REQUESTED: Make a motion to adopt the attached resolution authorizing an increase in the Professional Engineering Services Agreement for the above project. BACKGROUND: Bonestroo was approved by the City Council on July 12, 2005, to provide preliminary engineering, final plan and specifications preparation and in construction services for the County Road 9161 Erosion Repair Project, located east of County Road 61 south of 42°d Place and north of County Road 9. By February of 2006, a feasibility report had been prepared and was being reviewed by City and Three Rivers Park District (TRPD) staff to determine which of nine possible options included in their report should receive a recommendation to proceed into final design and construction. At that time, Three Rivers Park District staff requested that the scope of the project be expanded -to include a solution to a problem that was occurring by water backing up into the box culverts which allows pedestrians to cross under County Road 9. A joint agreement was prepared by Three Rivers Park District for this purpose. A significant amount of additional work was required by Bonestroo to determine an appropriate resolution to the problem. A solution was determined and incorporated into the construction plans and a construction contract was awarded in May of 2008. Attached is a letter from Bonestroo describing the additional engineering services that occurred for this project and a table summary of the costs involved. The additional amount being requested has been reduced by 7,000 because the City will be providing a majority of the construction observation for this contract. BUDGET IMPACT: Total project cost was estimated at $425,000 in the 2008-2012 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). Actual project cost, including the adjustment in engineering costs, is now estimated to be $330,000. All of Bonestroo's work was and will continue to be done on an hourly basis. The original agreement was in the amount of $47,392 and is proposed to be increased to $101,595. Approximately $29,800 of engineering costs is directly related to the additional work requested by TRPD. Per the agreement executed between the City and TRPD, the District will pay up to $100,000 for the work south of County Road 9. Page 1 County Road 9161 Erosion Repair Project Paget RECOMMENDATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS: I recommend that the City Council adopt the attached resolution authorizing an increase in the Professional Engineering Services Agreement between the City and Bonestroo from the not to exceed amount of $47,392 to 101,595. attachments: Letter Map Resolution 0ALngineering\PR0JECTSU000 - MGM 135VMemos\CC_Amcnd_ Prof Engr_Agmt_4135_07080&.doc page 2 June 26, 2008 Mr. Bob Moberg, P.E.

The original scope and budget along with a more detailed description of all additional services and costs are provided in the attached table. Structural Solution Requirement: Modeling indicated a 100 year storm would generate 334 cfs, This was causing the extreme erosion in the channel north of County Road 9 and required a structural solution such as weir walls to reduce the slope of the channel bottom and plunge pools to reduce flow velocities. Structural Design was a supplemental service under tine contract because prior to the completing the hydrologic analysis it was not known if structural engineering would be required. Other solutions such as ponding or using riprap on the entire channel were also evaluated and were found to provide the same results but with significantly higher construction costs, which did not meet the City's budget for this project. Meetings and Analysis: There were a number of additional meetings and analysis that were required to explain and gain acceptance of the proposed approach versus the more expensive pond approach which was initially desired by Three Rivers Park District, Design Modified to Reduce Construction Costs: The construction cost estimate for the original design was not within the City's budget for the project so the design was modified to raise the channel bottom and allow the dirt to balance so no trucking of dirt off-site was necessary. Significant construction cost savings were realized with this change in design, Easements: The original drainage easements were not located correctly, so assistance was provided to City staff to correct the easement issues, Page 3 City of Plymouth County Road 9161 Erosion Repair Page 2 6127108 French Regional Park Trail flooding: Reduction of flooding and reduction of the resultant deposition of sediment on the trail segment just south of County Road 9 were added as goals of this project, This required a number of additional tasks including: Survey South of County Road 9 Hydrologic and Preliminary Design for the portion South of county Road 9 Technical Memo describing potential solutions Cost Estimates of alternatives for French Regional Park Design for corrective measures at French Regional Park Project Delays: The length of the project extended to four years due to delays that occurred in agreements between the City and Hennepin County, This added some minor cost to the project for the City.; however, some of the losses due to this delay have been absorbed by Bonestroo, The City has paid $53,096 to date, and we are requesting the City make a payment of $44,613 for the original contract and additional services completed. The remaining tasks to be completed include construction observation of the weirs by a structural engineer and construction staking at French Regional Park. These two tasks will be an additional $ 3,886 to be paid after they are completed. Please contact me if you have questions.

The 30" by 18" production well will be connected to the Zachary Water Treatment Plant by constructing a watermain from the well to an existing 20" raw water -main at Well No. 10. In order to determine an appropriate site for Well No, 16, the City retained the services of Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik & Assoc. Inc. to conduct a site investigation and prepare a Preliminary Report, It was determined that a site on the north side of Fire Station No. 2, which is located at the northeast corner of Larch Lane and Old Rockford Road, would physically be suitable for the construction of a municipal well and based on a geologic study and test well drilling and pumping, the location would provide an adequate supply of water. On May 27, 2008, the City Council approved a site plan amendment to allow the construction of the pump house facility on this site. On June 10, 2008, the City Council approved the plans and specifications of the well portion of the project. Construction of the well is the first portion of the project and has been separated for bidding purposes due to the unique nature of well drilling. On June 26, 2008, bids were publicly opened for the Well No. 16 well drilling portion of the project. A total of three bids were received at the following prices: Contractor :.. .. , Ima B s Bid E.H.

BACKGROUND: The project includes the replacement of an existing culvert under Trunk Highway 55 and an existing culvert under the North Frontage Road between West Medicine Lake Drive and South Shore Drive. Regrading of approximately 220 feet of an existing channel north of the North Frontage Road is also included with the project. Construction work is intended to be done over two consecutive weekends this summer. Mn/DOT has given the City permission to close Trunk Highway 55 in one direction on each weekend to accommodate replacement of the culvert. In September 2006, the City submitted an application to Mn/DOT for replacement of an existing culvert under Trunk Highway 55 as part of Mn/DOT's Cooperative Agreement program for Fiscal Year 2008. In February 2007, the City received notification from Mn/DOT that our application was successful and that funding would be available for the project. The culvert conveys drainage to Medicine Lake from a watershed that begins in the Ridgedale Mall area in Minnetonka. The frontage roads on both sides of TH 55 experience frequent flooding, largely because of the limited capacity of the existing culvert and because it is permanently submerged. In October 2006, the City Council approved a Tax -Increment Financing (TIF) District, final plat and development contract for Plymouth Crossroads Station. This development is adjacent to the culvert replacement project and the culvert replacement is a TIF -eligible improvement for the District. 0AEngineeringTROTECTS0000- 2009577385MemoslCC_AppmvOlnns&Specs.do Page I APPROVE PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS 2008 STREET RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT Page 2 BUDGET IMPACT: This project is included in the 2008-2012 Capital Improvements Program CIP) with an estimated cost of $485,000, which also includes an estimate for cleaning the channel downstream of the culvert. The CIP identified $300,000 in State funding and $185,000 from the Water Resources Fund. Except for the 220 feet immediately north of the North Frontage Road, the channel cleaning is not part of the Cooperative Agreement project and is therefore not eligible for Mn/DOT funds. The estimated cost for the Cooperative Agreement project is $318,500, including construction, engineering, and contingencies. Design engineering and easement acquisition costs would be recovered through the TIF District established for the Plymouth Crossroads Station development.

The reason for the request is the homeowner's claim that many vehicles are stopping and parking at this location. Due to the uncertainty of the motives of the people in these vehicles, the residents are extremely concerned with the safety of their children and themselves. In addition, the people in the vehicles have been known to litter in the cul-de-sac, according to the adjacent property owners. The attached petition was signed by all 17 residents in the neighborhood west of the cul-de-sac location. The names and addresses on the petition have been verified. Also attached is a map of the area and the recommended No Parking area. If approved, two No Parking signs would be installed in the cul-de-sac and 4 from Schmidt Lake Road to 51St Avenue. The cul-de-sac does not have any driveways that access off it, so the cul-de-sac is not needed for parking. Installation of No Parking signs is being recommended on Fernbrook Lane, from Schmidt Lake Road to 51" Avenue. This segment of Fernbrook Lane is not wide enough to allow for parking and there is an existing No Parking sign on the west side of the roadway, however, no records have been found that designate this section as No Parking. BUDGET IMPACT: The estimated cost of installing these signs is $600 including materials and labor. These signs would be financed out of the 2008 Street Maintenance Budget under the Traffic and Park Signs account (6304). RECOMMENDATIONS: I hereby recommend that the City Council adopt the attached resolution authorizing No Parking on Fernbrook Lane north of Schmidt Lake Road to the cul-de- sac north of 51St Avenue. attachments: Map Petition Resolution 0:1Eng i n e eri n g17ra ffsc\ P a r k i ngFe rn b rook C S N oP ark_Memo Page I No Parking Signs Location Map 51 ST AVE U SCHMIDT LAKE RD Q No Parking" Signs Location Properties That Signed Petition April 15, 2008 Dear Ross Beckwith and City of Plymouth, This is a letter of concern from those living in the neighborhood bordered by Schmidt Lake Road, Fernbrook Lane, and 51" Avenue North in Plymouth, Minnesota. As you are aware, there is an empty cul-de-sac at the end of Fernbrook Lane, just past Turck Company. There is a great deal of uncertainty of the frequency, consistency and length of stay of cars and semis who park in this cul-de-sac. People often sit in their cars or trucks up to an hour or more at a time. Many of us have small children and are concerned with the intentions of these strangers. We, Michelle and Richard Saatzer live in the house directly adjacent to this cul-de-sac. Cars are often parked facing our backyard where our two small children play. Their presence makes us uncomfortable playing outside. While no one has ever done anything threatening, there is no way to know their intentions, and there is no reason that the cars need to have a prolonged presence in this empty cul-de-sac. There have also been instances of cars meeting there and conversing. We do not know if they are involved in some sort of suspicious activity. There is a lot of litter and garbage in the cul-de-sac from the individuals who park there. You can never be too careful about the safety of your children and we have all read too many stories of kidnappers, predators, drug dealers and pedophiles. We are trying to be proactive to prevent a tragedy from happening and keeping our children safe and comfortable to play outside in their own neighborhood. While the increased patrolling by the Plymouth Police Department has been appreciated, it has not stopped the activity. We are asking the City of Plymouth to approve the placement of No Parking and No Loitering signs in this cul-de-sac. We hope this would help. 1(Michelle Saatzer) have spoken with Ross Beckwith last fall, and he suggested writing a letter and obtaining the signatures of the neighbors who support this regust to take to the Council. While the activity decreased in the winter, now that spring is here, cars at'e now seen there more frequently. Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter. Your response is greatly appreciated.

BUDGET IMI'AC'T: The City Council directed staff to compare the proposals utilizing the revenue share methodology suggested by the proposer. Curbside and drop-off Cost is paid by residential households. Charged by hauler to city by household collection cost. City charges household solid waste fee. Fee funds established programs. Curbside & Drop Off Recycling 3 Yr Net Average Total Cost Monthly Cost A.2.1 $1,598,048 $1.97 / HH / Month Eureka Waste A.4.1 Alternate $1,187,613 $9.47 / HH / Month Management The current Solid Waste Fee is 51.50 per household per month. The fee covers the cost of providing the existing program as described above. Unless the City Council desires to utilize the Solid Waste Fund reserve to maintain current service levels, the solid waste fee would need to he increased f -or either proposal. Based on the revenue share methodology suggested by tlic proposer, under the: Eureka proposal, the fee would need to be raised to $2.30 per Household per month. Under the Waste Management proposal, the fee would need to be raised to $1.80 per household per month. The potential new programs (multi -family and commercial / institutional) are intended to he self- sustaining. The cost estimates for these services as included in the attachments should be utilized to budget for those programs. RECOMMENDATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS: Staff recommends that the City Council authorize staff to negotiate a municipal recycling contract with either Eureka Recycling or Waste Management. The Eureka Recycling proposal offers the City a new system with more environmental -focused education at the curb, a more substantial multi -family recycling program, and a higher cost to the residential customer. The Waste Management proposal offers the City no change in the current system with the least financial and Operational impact to the customer. The final contract will be brought to City Council for review and approval in August, 2008.

INTRODUCTION A. PROJECT BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES During the early part of this decade, there has been a nationwide trend to move residential recycling programs away from source separated and dual -stream recycling collection/processingtosingle -stream collection/processing. Single -streamCDt_ recycling (also kilown as fullycommingled) refers to a system in which all paper fibers and containers are mixed together in a coilcclion truck versus being separated Into individual conuriodities (i,e,, newspaper, cardbo,,ird, Plastics, glass, etc.) or commingled into two streams (fibers and rigid containers), The move to 0sin-le-strearn recycling is believed to offer economic savings, especially on the collection end, However, it has also led to questions regarding the, quality oCthc recovered materials (especiallyfibers) and the amount of residuals requiring disposal after processing. Over the last couple of years, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPGA) has received a number Of enquiries From public and private sector entities regarding downstream impacts associated with single -stream and dual -stream processing of recyclables. Of major concern to these entities is the conflictinginformation they're receiving regarding the quality of recoveredmaterials, how this is impacting the end-markets'paper mills, glass recyclers, plasticsro-cYclers), the amount of material recovery facility (NMF) residuals generated during the processing or recyclables, the availability of the residuals for further processing and recovery oftargetedmaterials, and how these changes are effecting; overall recycling rates. The Ll,,IPCA has a stake in expanding recycling efforts statewide and improving the cost- effoc(ivencss and operational efficiency of the recycling infiastructure. In 2001 tlirouoh '1002, the then Office of Environmental Assistance (OEA) provided grant funding for cond'LLOint, a nurnbo,r of'MR-F optimization studies designed to assist local communities improve efficienciesattheirVRFs. In 2003, this project culminated with the preparation of a NMF optimizationguide. Using the MR -F- optimization project as a base-' the MPCA felt it was necessary to under(akundertake.a Study to examine the issue of single -stream and dual -stream recycling specifically focusing OilZ= the PFOcessill" of collected materials and the marketing, of those materials to end -markets. 'File, MPCA's intent in conducting this study is not to promote one method over another but rather to provide hard data on Minnesota programs as a way to assist communities to cut throut,,11 the rhetoric and base their recycling decisions on more objective data. The primary goal of this project is to gain a better understanding of Minnesota's changingrecyclinginfrastructurespecificallyasitrelatestotheprocessingandmarketingofrecyclables. Bv doing;so, both policy and procedural opportunities can be identified for: Increasing, the recovery of recyclable materials; Improving the marketability1 of recovered materials; Reducing recyclables processin-c residuals, and Increasing overall recyclables recovery rates, Tim Goodman & Ai5sociatcs Single -Stream and goal -Stream Reaycling: Compara6vc Impacts of C ammingied Rucyclables Processing To accomplish this goal, a three -prong approach was utilized to collect infortnation on the processing and marketing of" recyclables including conducting on-site visits/intcrvicws with regional MRPs, conducting on-site visits/interviews with major end -markets such as paper mills, a container glass manulaaarer, and plastics recyclers, and conducting interviews with recycling equipment/system vendors. I'IZe focus of these visits and interviews was to observe operations and collect operating data related to: Processing of commingled recyclables; Amounts and estimated composition oI" processing residuals; Quality of recovered materials delivered to markets; End -market operational issues and concerns, and Availability and relative effectiveness of materials separation/handling equipment. 13, FRAMING ,rllle, lsstJI.: Tutu SINCLE-STREAM ANI) DUAL -STREAM RECYCLING DEBATE Over the last 20 yo m -s there has been an evolution in the types of materials coliected in residential recycling programs and the way those materials have; been collected curbsi(ie. Early programs Iocused on newspaper, glass (sometimes nixed and sometimes separated by color), tin cans, and aluminum cans. These materials were tusttally placed at the curly as separate c0min0dities newspltper, glass bottles & Jars, and metal cans. Collection was often done either using garbage trucks equipped with side bins for holding, the diffLn-ent. materials (usually seen in early recycling programs with newspaper as the only recyclable: commodity collected) or in a new generation of collection vehicles specifically designed to pick up source-separ rtccl recychihlcs. These vehicles often were split into multi - compartments (anywhere from 3 to 7) each designated for tl shccific product. Though a good start to modern day curbside recycling, this method of separation and collection hacl its' drawbacks inclttcling: Putting more responsibility on residents Jor prcl7ttring and separating the various matcrialS to be collected. This was often scen as a barrier to getting widespread public participation as it required more; erlom-t On the part of the participants and attracted only those individuals that were already motivated to recycle; Limitations as to the types of materials that could be collected. As more materials were targeted for collection (i.e., cardboard, mixed paper, plastic containers, etc.) the number of separate compartments on collection vehicles increased reducing the capacity for any one material. This added to the cost of'designing and/or modifying collection vehicles; and Higher costs I`m collection as it required two -person crews, more tune spent at each stop, and shorter times on the collection route since once one compartment was full the truck would have to leave the route to clump its' load even if the other compartments still had capacity, Early recycling centers had minimal processing equipment and what sorting was required was generally clone manually. Unacceptable grades (it' paper were hand -sorted, as were different colors of glass; containem•s. Ferrous and aluminum containers were either hand -sorted or Pini Goodman & Associates 4 Shlgl ;-Stream and Dual -Stream Rccyciing; Coillpa7•ative IinlMcts OFC.'oinmingled Reuyclahle5 Processing separated using simple ferrous recovery equipment. Processing equipment were typically balers, magnetic head pulleys, overhead belt magnets, and glass crushers. The next stagy, in the evolution of curbside recycling collection and processing was dual -streamu: commingled) recycling. This method offered a variety of benefits over source -separated curbside recycling including: P arLicipotion for residents was made more convenient with the only separation rerluirementIcing; all paper in one bin and all containers in another, d It aIIlowod for the addition of other materials to curbside recycling; programs and it was Clua•ing this phase of the evolutionary process that plastic containers and other types of paper grades were added to residential recycling programs; and It made collection easier as all that was now needed was a two-compartment trUCI{ — one; P01 - paper and one for mixed containers. 'Though it still required two -person crews, the time spent at each stop decreased significantly and trucks could stay on their routes longer as theyonlyhadtobalancethecapacityoftwocompartments. This evolution, however, did create some issues around contamination of materials and required more; attention to be Maid to processing of materials. With greater participation by resiclunts, greater amounts of contaminants and non -recyclable materials were placed in recycling; bins. With all paper mixed together, sorting paper by different grades became a necessity and tzzoresorting. of containers — beyond ferrous recovery efforts — became a major component of materials processing. The: more sophisticated materials recovery facility (MRF) became standard for many communities and required a combination of manual and mechanical processing of materials in order to produce a High duality commodity for Incl markets. In the late 1999s another step was taken in the evolution of collecting and processing rceyclables. Single -stream recycling refers to a system in which all paper and containers are mixed together in a collection truck versus being separated into individual commodities or commingled into two Streams. This push, spurred on primarily by the larger waste management companies, is believed to offer several benefits %ncluchno-: Participation for residents was made even more convenient in that they could now put allrecyclablesinonecart. Not only does this add the next step of convenience but with one larger recycling cart theretc is an expect€rtion that the amount of recyclables setout by residentsWOLLICIIncrease, Collection companies could more easily convert their recycling, collection routes to automated collection, This, in turn, allows for the use of one-person collection crews, reducing labor costs; By going to automated or semi -automated collection, drivers no longer have to get out of their trucks and manually empty recycling carts resulting in less chance of injury and areductioninworkercompensationclaims. Worker comp claims can be a significant cost to a collection company; Tim Goodman & Associates 5 Single-Struain and Dunt -Stream Recycling: C oI1113arative tm}3acts of C'orviingle:d ltecyclables Processing The number of vehicles servicing a route could potentially be reduced in that now €i one cornpartment truck could be used for alternating garbage and recyclables collection or a dual - compartment truck could be used to collect garbage and recyclables simultaneously (garbage in one compai mcnt and recyclables in another); and L ss vehicles servicing a route and more time spent on the route (as opposed to leaving the route to dump their loads) translates to lower labor and fuel costs. With retard Lo bullet number one, a number of surveys paint to the ILrct that residents do find if. more convenient and like the simplicity of having one cart for recyclables (especially if it's on wheols and can easily be rolled to the curb). Additionally, it would appear that the; amount of rccyclables placed in the larger cart does increase. In addition to the benclits listed above liar both dual -stream and single -stream recycling„ there arc also sonic disadvantaocs associated with switching from source separated recycling to dual - stream recycling, or switching from dual -stream recycling to single -stream recycling. "These include: Grcatcr levels of' contamintrtion of materials when they are mixed together including ttlass brenkagc and IlAo conlamination ol'paper and plastic with broken glass; An increase in residuals gcncrated at MRFs due, to the lar'gcr an-iounts of contanlinttted materials and non-rccyclohlc broken glass; A deterioration in recovered paper stock due to an irIcrcase in C)utthroNVs anti Prohibitive. Matcrial,, ; Groater loss of" recoverable product (clue to contamination or ol'f-spec materials) including glass, paper, and plastic containers; and lrlcreased costs for processing as a result of the required investment in more sophisticated separation equipment. In 2001, E?urcka Recycling, in partnership with the City of St. Paul and the CASA, Undcrtook a study of curbside recycling collection mcthods3, This study tested lave different recycling collection scenarios, one of which was single -stream collection. Based on the results of the: study, Eureka reported that the two -stream, bi-weekly 35 -gallon cant recycling method noted the highest diversion rates of all the tested methods. The report also indicates that dual -stream MRIs average a 6.41%, residual rate while single -stream MRCS average a 27.7% residual rate. The average residual rate for single-strcam MRFs, however, is based on results f3•orn a national study conducted by Governmental Advisory ,associates and diel not include data fron7 local MRFs.

Cojjjj)aj-ativu Impacts of Commir.-Icd Rocyclables Processing There are perhaps two things that can be stated with relativt, certainty regarding the nationaldiscussiononsingle -stream and dual -stream recycling. First, the national trend is by and largemnvinginthedirectionofsingle -stream recycling, Though some communities are choosing tocontinuewithdual -stream recycling programs, many more are shifting to single -streamprograms. This is partly evidenced with the continuing trend of new mega-MRFS being pi-cdominantly single -stream in design as well as the modillication of older MRFs either convertin g fully to single -stream facilities or adding a single-Strearn processing line to be moreC competitive with the larger waste industry companies. Second, because of this trend and continued investment in ,single -stream collection programs,, this method of collection and processing of recyclables is not going away anytinae soon. As a FUSUIC, what problems do exist with single -stream Processing (Loss of recoverable product and end -market concerns regarding the degradation in quality of commodities) will need to be addressed as the industry moves further toward single -stream recycling. The next several sections explore some of the challenges and opportunities associated with the changing recycling infrastrUCtLIrO locally and some of the end -markets serving Minnesota. j"im Goodman & Associates 7 Single-St1•c.1n1 Unci DLIZl-Stream Recycling, C'ominl ativc Impacts of C.'ommfiiglcd Recye4lblcs Processing V.

The study conclusions and recommendations for further policy discussions arc presentee] below. A. CONCLUSIONS The conclusions drawn from this study are based on the three main questions forming the basis of the project. As discussed previously, only one MRF (single -stream) agreed to participate fully in the study. Information on the other MRFs came from previous reports, general public information, and limited data shared by these facilities. As a result, a comparison ofMRF empirical data to answer this question was not possible. Some anecdotal information, however, was obtained from end - 1'1111 60odnaan & Associates 46 Single -Stream Lutd. Duai-Stream Recycling: Comparative I1111)4CI8 of Cammiligled Recycladles Processing use markets as a way to rate the performance of these facilities especially as it relates to the quality of commodities shipped to market. The conciusions drawn from the, MRF information reviews and end -market interviews are listed in Sections 11 and III, respectively. Information ori separatin- and sorting equipment was primarily obtained from vendors themselves, eit}rer through telephone interviews or through their Websites. Claims on efficiencies were not verified in the field and no endorsement of any one vendor or type of equipment should be construed bytheinformationpresentedinthereport. 1. What are the dif'f'erences between single -stream IVTRFs and deal -stream MRFs servingtheMinneapolis/St. Paul metro area as it relates to generation of residuals and the duality of recovered products? The generation of residuals at the two single -stream facilities ranged from as little as 2% uptoalmost6% by weight., In this latter case, broken glass and fines mechanically screenedduringprocessingarebeingusedatalandfillinabeneficialuserole. Though approved for use in this application, the material is still considerod a processing residual and should bei'ictored into the residual rate. Doing so raises the residual rate from 6% to approximately17" -o. Res1dual5 generation in single -stream facilities is likely to be a hrnction of collection vehicles and the collection methods used as well as processing equipment (e.g., trommels, hard disc screens, long drops from conveyors, etc.). If mixed, broken glass is counted toward residuals, it can account for up to 65% by weight ofrc5idu,uls coming From a single -stream MRF. Glass breakage and contamination of materials in single -stream and dual-strearn collection Iprcpgr.ums can be minimized if the proper steps are taken in the collection materials. These steps include;: Minimize dumping height from the recycling container into the vehicle body; Provide minimal compaction, or better yet, no compaction to materials in the truck; o Utilize collection vehicles that minimize the drop distance from truck to tippingfloorintheclumpingprocess; and Once on the tipping floor use care in spreading out the load and pushing materials into conveyer pits so as to minimize rolling -stack from running over materials and breaking glass. The quality of observed commodities waiting for delivery to markets at one single -stream facility were generally quite high.

What impacts, if any, are end-use markets observing and experiencing with the recyclable feedstocks they're receiving from MRFs serving the Minnesota marketplace including those in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area?

Examples of such equipment include trommels and disc screens designed for removing Fines from mixed waste streams. 1Z 0 Therc are about a half a, dozen companies that make optical ' sorting equipment being usedZ: In the waste and recycling industry. Of these companies there are primal -Hy three that arc gaining popularity in the industry because of their affiliation with larger recycling eqUiPOICIAmanufacturers. These three companies are, 0 MSS, Inc. (wholly owned Subsidiary of CP Manufacturing). o Pefleric Scloc tive Technologies (exclusive North American partnQrshlparrangementwithMachinexIndustries). o TiTech VisionSort (North American partnership arrangement with Luber USA). All the optical sorting equipment vendors use near infrared (NIR) technology, high- resolution pliotography, or both to accomplish the sorting process, Though originally designed for sorting different types Of Plastics (Primarily sQparating wholeplasticbottlesmadeofPETandHDPE) optical sorters have recently been adapted for sorting other materials such as fiber and glass, ThOLIC"h all vendors Say their equipment could be adapted for removing contaminants from7 glass (e. 1 - g., ceramics) or for separating mixed glass by color, only two companies arc currently doing this — MSS, inc. and Binder+Co Group. The t1wee leading companies in applying optical sorting to the recycling industry are reportedly achieving Purity Rates (cleanliness of the ejected material expressed in percentage) in the following ranges plastics (90 — 98%), paper (70%), and glass (95 — 98%). Z t:' 0 The ballpark cost for an optical sorter for processing mixed glass is approximately $120,000 per unit. Adding the necessary sizing7screens and cleaning equipment brings the cost for a simple system Lip to the $360,000 to $420,000 range. To remove contaminants (i.e., ceramics, metal, other inerts, etc.) and obtain multi -color separation (amber, green, clear) would likely require adding Multiple units. Such a system would likely cost in excess of $2 million. B. RECorviNIENDATIONS Based on the lus' findings and conclusions, recommendations include, the following: I ions, I Fill Ulodllun & Associates 49 Single-Strt un wid Dual -Stream Recycling: C"ompura(ive Imp-,10ts o1'CO1nmh1g1Cd R.ecyclaiiles Processing t) Much of the rhetoric on 'both sides of the sirr;;le-stream/dual-stream debate appears to be exaggerated making it difficult for municipalities and residents to obtain unbiased information for decision-making. To this extent the MPGA should: a. Develop educational materials to help local decision -makers understand the advantages and disadvantages of various collection and processing methods. b. Sponsor workshops for municipalities and others focusing solely on the issue of source -separated, dual -stream, and single-strcam collection and processing; including the potential impacts oil various enol -use markets. This last point is crucial as many enol -use markets voiced concern that public officials don't understand how choices on the front-end are impacting the ability to actually recycle the materials delivered to the markets. 2) The MPGA should provide technical assistance to MRI' owners/operators for improving facility performance with the objective being to increase the amounts of materials recovered, decrease the amount of contaminants in marketed end products, and decrease the amount of processing residuals produced. 3) Currently in Minnesota, recycling; facilities (MRFs) are permitted under the "perrnit- hy-rule" designation. As a result, there is very little state oversight- on facility design and operation yet the state has a vested interest in establishing and implementing statewide policy on recycling. With thee maturation of the recycling industry and the sophistication of the new generation of MRF+s, it is recommended that a registration or certification process be applied to MI21+s. As it component of this registration or certification process, MRFs should be required to report certain operational data to the state tire• monitoring purposes. This information should include at a mininirrnr: o Amounts and types of recyclables delivered to the facility, Amounts anci composition of processing residuals; Amounts and types of materials processed and sent to end -markets on an annual basis; and i Amounts and types of materials downgraded or rejected by markets. 4) The Solid Waste Management Tax exemption language contained in Minnesota Statute 2971-1.06 should be clearly articulated to all stakeholders to ensure that though the beneficial reuse of glass as landfill cover or for use as leachate collection system media may be approve([ oil a case-by-case basis, it is not considered recycling;. As a result, it cannot be used for meeting, the 85"lo volume reduction at recycling; facilities allowing those facilities to be exempt from the Solid Waste Management Tax. 5) The MPGA should conduct further research into the technical, economic, and marketplace feasibility of utilizing; optical sorting; technology for the further processing and recycling; of three -mix glass at local MRFs. if determined to be feasible, the ;State should partner with the private sector for the construction and operation the facility public/private partnership).

Yet, there is a tax exemption benefit available to processors who achieve a volume redaction of 85% or greater. As a result, it's recommended that an independent, residuals composition analysis should be conducted on the residuals generated at s111 commercial MRFs serving the metro area to determine the true quantities and characteristics of this material. 7) ,No significant data from the two major dual -stream MRFs serving tlae metro area were provided. As a result, how these facilities are doing with regard to processing recyclables, the amount and composition of residuals, and the quality of recovered materials sent to markets is difficult to ascertain. To get some sense of how dual -stream facilities in Minnesota measure up to single -stream facilities it is recommended that supplemental information be obtained by studying and assessing larger dual -streamMRFslocatedinGreaterMinnesota. 8) rhe focus of this study was on tlae processing of recyclables and the impacts on end - markets. However, many of the problems associated with residuals production at MRFs and the quality of the recovered product to be sold to end -markets starts with the setout of materials at the curly and the methods used for collecting and transportingthatmaterial. Carefully examining these: issues and identifying best management practices (BMPs) for generator education/participation and on -route operational procedures for minimizing product loss and contamination, regardless if it's a single- stream collection scenario or as dual -stream collection scenario, is stronglyrecommended.

I cannot stress enough that if my family were allowed larger recycling bins or carts we would have very little garbage and so much more recycling materials. I have many friends here in the city, and when I visit, they don't recycle at all! IT is too much of a pain to store the recycling waste until pick up date. In my own home, I am constantly pulling card board cereal boxes or soda boxes out of garbage and folding it down trying to keep it neat. My children and husband know they are supposed to fold and sort but they won't. It is a pain. The pain is not the folding and the sorting, it is the separate storing of the cardboard, the plastic, the glass, the cans and everything else into a couple of lidless blue bins. I have added card board boxes from Costco and set them sideways across the blue bins out in the garage to help sort and hold, but they still tumble out and I am constantly picking up the milk cartons or the cans from the floor. Again, I don't mind sorting if it helps the environment but I don't think it is an effective program yet. Most people just need to get used to recycling, They won't do it. They don't get any benefits from the current recycling program other than reduced guilt_ am respectfully asking you to choose a recycling program that will allow us to have sizeable carts for storage. They need to be taller. Not just lids added to the blue bins. We don't have the space in our 2 car garage to store multiple boxes for multiple sorts. If you must have us sort, then please, provide bins that are closer in size to garbage cans so they can actually contain the recycling material. if we go with the blue bins again, I don't know if I will continue to recycle at all. IT is cost prohibitive for me in time and in storage space. If anyone wants to talk to me to further understand my issues or if I am miss -understanding the way that the city is going to go and you would like to clarify, please call me or write back. My home number is 763.544.1451. 1 work from home so you may call when ever it is convenient Thank you. Cathy Nelson Good Afternoon Ms. Engdahl: I'm writing you regarding the recycling program that the City of Plymouth is evaluating. I did watch the city council meeting on television a few weeks ago. I meant to contact you much sooner, but I got side tracked with children and holiday weekend. If I understood the proposals that were presented by Eureka and Waste Management and the recommendation from the city employee correctly ,to get single sort CARTs or multiple sorting CARTS, the homeowner's monthly recycling fee will increase. What I didn't hear from the recommendation's are that by getting CARTS and making recycling much easier we will reduce significantly the garbage that goes out. The homeowners will be able to reduce their garbage waste and significantly lower their monthly garbage fees. Also, we will be earning more revenue for the city because we will be recycling so much more. The lower garbage costs will more than offset the increased monthly recycling fee. I have lived in cities that offer single sort carts. It was great. We filled that recycle cart up and only needed a srnal[ standard sized garbage can. This reduced our monthly bill to the garbage haulers. So even though, the homeowners' cost will go up for recycling, their garbage cost goes down. This will off set the increased cost of recycling. Also, if the city gets more recycling revenue and it only helps us all. 7/8/2008 Page 2 of 2 Please consider this when making your recommendation to city council. Thank you. Cathy Nelson PS. I don't mind sorting at all. l very much mind the little blue bins that, even though I have 4 of them, they are still overflowing in my garage and in the street on pick up day. 7/8/2008 Summary of All Recycling Collection Proposals RI=P Revenue Sharing Methodology June 24, 2€108 City Council Meeting Curbside L Contractors' Proposed Net Cost Estimates 3 Year Curbside TOTAL Proposal Description City's Net Net Curbside, Rounded Number Collection Revenue Sharing Length of Capital Collection Collection Container Fuel Net Net Multi Commercial Drop Off, 3 -Year Company Option Frequency) Term of contract) Processing Fee K Costs Days Frequency Owner Surcharge Curbside Drop -Off Family Institutional MF & CI) TOTAL Allied A.3.1 Single Stream No revenue share 0 3 years 5 Bi -weekly Carts, Yes 3,533,013 85,380 55,800 132,808 3,807,001 3,800,000 Allied Revenue sharing at Eureka A.2.1 Two Stream 50% of"indexed" 50/ton 2009 3 years 5 Weekly Bins, City No 2,058,585 110,619 23,096 132,000 2,324,299 2,300,000 prices WM Single Stream No revenue sharing 0 5 years 5 Bi -weekly Yes 2,599,623 92,727 27,818 607,660 3,327,828 3,300,000 Alternate NN N1 A.3.2 Single Stream No revenue sharing 0 3 years 500,000 5 Bi -weekly Carts, City Yes 1,868,477 92,7271 27,818 607,660 2,596,682 2,600,000 A.4.1 Current 51.09/ton 1i 75% of"actual" prices 3 years 3 Weekly Bins, City No 1,444,469 34,956 20,496 606,316 2,106,238 2,100,000 Alternate Contract 2009 2008 City Council Goals Status — July 2008 1. Complete and Implement the Comprehensive Plan. Follow up on feedback received from other jurisdictions during the six-month review of the proposed Comprehensive Plan and submit the Plan to the Metropolitan Council for final review. Execute the implementation strategies in the plan, and begin using the plan for long-term planning_ The draft plan was sent to surrounding communities and other agencies on December 21, 2007. We have received comments from New Hope, Maple Grove, Golden Valley, Brooklyn Park, Medina, St. Louis Park, the Hopkins School District, the Minnehaha Watershed, Shingle Creek Watershed, and Elm Creek Watershed. We have also received preliminary comments from the Metropolitan Council. We are currently completing the necessary updates to the plan based on comments received and are preparing proposed revisions. Our schedule is to have the final plan sent to the Metropolitan Council by Sept. 23. Land Use Element (Chapter 3) — Staff has begun discussion on the creation of a new zoning district that will be consistent with the rural -to - urban guide plan. Staff will be reviewing incentives to encourage clustering of buildings on sites with significant natural resource and will be working on architectural standards for all new attached housing units. Staff is currently working on the City Center Capital Improvement Plan and design guidelines document. Housing Plan (Chapter 4) — The City Council and HRA met on June 9, 2008. The HRA will discuss the strategic plan at the June 26, 2008 regular meeting. Surface Water Management Plan (Chapter 5) — Staff continues to refine the plan to meet the statutory December 31, 2008 completion date. The EQC has reviewed the main plan content, updated the lake management plans, and all watershed TMDL plans have been incorporated. The complete Surface Water Management plan, including appendices, is intended to fulfill the Comprehensive Planning requirement and the requirements set forth by watersheds for "local water management planning". The plan was distributed for review and comment internally by staff in May and will be distributed to the watersheds, Hennepin County, and the Met Council in July. It is anticipated that a revised draft will go to EQC and Planning Commission this fall, prior to approval by Council. Transportation Plan (Chapter 6) — Staff continues to implement the 2008 CIP and is working with stakeholders on the reclassification of TH 55 as a principal arterial. Staff is also participating in the Highway 55 Coalition, the 1-494 Coalition and has assisted the City Council with the initiation of a Highway 169 working group to further improvements to these regional roadways. Staff from Plymouth, Golden Valley, Edina, St. Louis Park, Hopkins, Brooklyn Park, New Hope and Hennepin County will be working with MnDOT to develop potential low-cost improvements for Highway 169. We are also monitoring a 169 corridor group that has formed from Minnetonka to Mankato. The street reconstruction program is ongoing. Staff, with input from PACT, is evaluating potential transit service improvements. Parks, Trails, Open Space and Recreation Plan (Chapter 7) — Staff continues to implement the 2008 CIP, including moving the design and potential construction of the West Medicine Lake Park Building up in the schedule. Water Supply and Distribution Plan (Chapter 8) — The CIP is reviewed annually and adjusted to meet the needs of new development and redevelopment. Well No. 16 and raw water line are currently being designed and will be constructed in 200812009. Plans for the well drilling were approved by the City Council on June 10, 2008. Other well and distribution mains will be constructed as needed for new development. The Water Emergency and Conservation Plan was approved by the City Council on April 22, 2008. Staff has initiated a utility rate study that will be completed before the end of 2008. Sanitary Sewer Plan (Chapter 9) — The CIP is reviewed annually and adjusted to meet the needs of new development and redevelopment. The 28th Avenue Lift station is currently under construction. The Pike Lake Lift station is being designed and will be constructed in 2009. The 2008 sewer lining project will be completed by mid -summer. Other trunk sanitary sewer mains will be constructed as needed for new development. Staff has initiated a utility rate study that will be completed before the end of 2008. Public Facilities Plan (Chapter 10) — The City Council approved modest safety/security improvements and remodeling for City Hall. Painting/carpeting on hold until status of 2008 budget is known. Staff has reviewed Comprehensive Plans for Medina and Maple Grove. 2. Continue Emphasis on Street and Utility Maintenance and Reconstruction. Continue to monitor and measure financial resources against infrastructure needs to ensure that the City can sustain an accelerated maintenance schedule, aimed at maximizing the useful life of streets and utilities. Review procedures relating to reconstruction projects so that property owners are notified regarding proposed reconstruction projects and expected costs two years prior to project commencement. All projects identified for 2008 construction in the 2008-2012 CIP are either being designed, are out for bids, or are under construction except for the reconstruction of 36th Avenue which has been delayed to 2009 to coordinate with the Hennepin County Library construction. 3. Address Transportation Issues. Partner with other jurisdictions and groups to advocate on transportation and transit issues that will improve area roadways and highways and reduce congestion. Staff is participating in the Highway 55 Coalition, the 1-494 Coalition and has assisted the City Council with the initiation of a Highway 169 working group to further improvements to these regional roadways. The first meeting of the Highway 169 working group was May 7, 2008. We are also monitoring a new 169 corridor group formed from Mankato to Minnetonka. 4. Pursue Northwest Greenway/Park Initiatives. Continue acquisition of greenway and park land, and begin Phase 2 of the Millennium Garden. Offers have been made on four parcels, and we are waiting for responses. We may acquire 2.4 acres of the greenway as part of the Woodcrest Addition plat. All park projects are underway and on schedule. 5. Continue Proactive Public Safety Initiatives. guild on the successes of fire prevention and fire service programs as well as proactive policing strategies previously initiated. The staffed fire station program (Duty Crew) has been extended to include Saturday. Since January, all shifts have operated. This program remains popular with paid -on-call members and enhances our response time. The firefighter recruitment program has been modified to include several new initiatives. Program marketing, employment process, communication with prospective candidates, and a revised recruitment strategy have been initiated to attract quality candidates for paid -on-call positions. A third officer has been placed in the SIU unit. A fourth will be added for the summer months when the School Resource Officers come back from the schools. SIU is currently working on serial burglaries within the City. The new Records Management System has allowed clerical to take on other needed tasks. They are compiling data for SIU, Traffic Unit, and Patrol to help those units focus on hot spots and patterns. A fourth officer will be added to the Traffic Unit in the summer months when the School Resource Officers come back from the schools. The Traffic Unit will continue to manage neighborhood concerns and will also be active with Safe and Sober and Operation Nightcap. Crime Prevention is putting together a DVD for neighborhood watch groups and sending information to the community on solicitors. The Bike Patrol Unit is gearing up for the summer. It is the intent to have them more available and visible throughout the summer months. With summer break upon us our SROs have been redeployed to the Patrol Division allowing the Department to fully engage in several proactive initiatives: There are four full-time officers working in SIU for the summer who are already dealing with a variety of community issues — ongoing owner occupied concerns at a condominium complex where one of the residents is connected to a variety of criminal activity and is using her home as a "flop house" for other criminals; working to identify who is involved with the tampering of the CP Railroad line; and working collaboratively with several Hennepin County law enforcement agencies to identify the "Top 20" violent offenders who are impacting our cities with their criminal behavior. The Traffic Unit also has four full-time officers assigned to it for the summer. The TU will be focusing on a variety of neighborhood traffic complaints; the "Top 10" intersections where we have the highest number of traffic crashes; saturation projects with Maple Grove, Minnetonka and the State Patrol; and other projects. Our crime mapping is operational once again. This will allow officers to track certain crimes in a more comprehensive manner for strategic deployments. The map is also again live on our Website for the public as well. Operation: Youth is up and running for the summer. Officers are working once a week with youth from the Lancaster Village Apartments. This interactive program allows youth to connect with officers who work as positive role models. Here, the youth have a chance to learn from the officers and to participate in a variety of fun activities. The Crime Prevention Unit held a Bank Robbery Response training on 06-18-08 to review steps to take to before, during, and after a robbery and also how to respond if there is a false alarm. 18 people showed up representing eight banks. We will be offering this class one more time this summer and then on an annual basis. CFMH is co -hosting 3 upcoming CFMH trainings with Maple Grove and New Hope to help rental property owners get CFMH certification that is now mandatory. The trainings will be held in July (Maple Grove), September (New Hope) and November (Plymouth). One class will be held during normal business hours, one class will be held on a Saturday, and one class will be split between two evenings to help accommodate different schedules. 6. Conduct Long -Term Financial Planning. Analyze factors affecting Plymouth's financial status to ensure continued financial health and prudent financial management. Conduct studies of utility rates, capital asset replacement requirements, internal service funds, and reserve funds. The 2009 budget process (the second year of the biennial budget) is underway. Directors have received 2009 budget information. The budget team is closely watching the 2008 revenue and expenditures and preparing for possible adjustments. Staff met with Ehlers to review a proposal for a utility rate study for water, sewer, and surface water to ensure current and future capital and operating needs are met. Ehlers will also develop policy options for the Council to consider in establishing the City's utility rates. We are currently pulling the 2007 usage history from the Utility Billing software. Creating the report from the software has been more difficult than expected. The study is still expected to be completed by late summer. Staff completed a physical street light and signal inventory in May. This will likely be presented to the Council along with the utility rate study. Ehlers has prepared a two-phase proposal for a financial analysis for the Park Replacement Fund. The first phase consolidates the park inventory needs that the City has completed; mapping out the aggregate annual capital needs; include inflationary assumptions; and exhibit scenarios of cash financing versus debt financing with the annual cost implications of each scenario. Phase II would include the policy implications coupled with revenue forecasting, operating requirements, and cash flow analysis Finance staff completed the mandated SAS Suite analysis to document all internal controls, which provided important information on the protection of City assets. Staff began an analysis of all City funds. A review was completed of the City Reserve Funds (404 and 408). Recommendations will go to the Council soon. We began the ERP conversion to New World Systems Financial Management system, which is slated for completion by Oct. 1, 2008. The HR/Payroll functions will be operational by Jan. 2008, and the Utility Billing function will be operational by the end of the first quarter 2009. We began a Facility analysis, using a model similar to the Fleet Policy, to ensure long-term sufficiency of the Facility Management Fund. A review of the IT capital equipment inventory and the equipment replacement schedule is underway to evaluate funding levels and priorities. 7. Work with the Watershed Districts on Unfunded Water Quality Mandates. Collaborate and communicate with watershed agencies to ensure efficient, effective progress on water quality mandates from state and federal agencies. Staff is working with the Shingle Creek WMO to meet the Shingle Creek TMDL and to address the chloride impairment by reducing road salt application. Staff is reviewing developments in the Elm Creek WMO to ensure they meet the requirements, including the new requirements based on the completed Elm Creek Channel Study. The new requirements include volume control for protection of the Elm Creek channel. Staff is also coordinating with the Bassett Creek WMC and the MPCA to develop and implement the Medicine Lake TMDL.
