INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT 281 (94061) Chairman Stulberg introduced the request by Independent School District 281 for a Site Plan Amendment, Conditional Use Permit and Variance for a new athletic physical education complex for Armstrong High School located at 10635 36th Avenue North. Planning Commission Minutes July 27, 1994 Page 145 Associate Planner Keho reviewed the July 20, 1994 staff report. Chairman Stulberg asked Associate Planner Keho to discuss the difference between this plan and the plan in New Hope for Cooper High School. Associate Planner Keho stated that the plans were similar except that the Armstrong request included a baseball field. He said the area directly across from the Cooper High School field was developed with residential homes. There were also drainage problems around the New Hope site. He said that the Plymouth plan has a heavily wooded area between the residential neighborhood and the proposed athletic field. Chairman Stulberg introduced Mr. R. Whitey Johnson, representing the petitioner. Mr. Johnson is a retired coach and athletic director and is now the project director. He stated that Dan Johnson and Roy Anderson, from their engineering firm, were also present to answer any questions. Mr. Johnson discussed the history of Mielke field, and the possibility that it was being considered for condemnation by City of Crystal. He stated that was why the school district negotiated to sell Mielke field to Super Valu. He said that they notified the neighbors about a meeting to inform them of the plans for the new athletic field. He said that a total of 46 residents attended the meeting. Commissioner Oja asked Mr. Johnson if he had read the article in the Sun - Sailor on the New Hope proposal and what comments he would make on the article where the Mayor stated that he felt both schools should have soccer, track and one lighted field. She asked if the district was considering a lighted football field next to the Sandberg School. Mr. Johnson stated that they looked at the Sandberg site but there was not enough room for enough parking spaces and they would not be allowed to use the Honeywell parking lot. Mr. Johnson stated that he felt each school wanted their own athletic complex and did not want the students to have to travel away from the school for their home games. He said this plan is best for the kids. Commissioner Oja asked how this plan for Armstrong School would be affected if the New Hope plan does not pass. Mr. Johnson responded that the results of the New Hope plan would have not affect on this request because the Management Plan does not allow the field to be used by another school. Chairman Stulberg opened the Public Hearing. Planning Commission Minutes July 27, 1994 Page 146 Chairman Stulberg introduced Ms. Lynn Fortin of 3533 Pilgrim Lane. Ms. Fortin expressed her concerns regarded the noise, litter and traffic from the site, and the affect on taxes and real estate values. Chairman Stulberg introduced Mr. Bill Lundberg of 10720 34th Avenue North. Mr. Lundberg stated he lives behind the school and was concerned that the woods would be cut into. He said that kids attending football games would be cutting through the woods, drinking and smoking in the woods. He said that he would like to have no parking signs posted most of the way down 34th Avenue North before games. He asked why they did not plan to put the football field along 36th Avenue North where the existing field is. Chairman Stulberg introduced Ms. Kerry Brekke of 10830 34th Avenue North. Ms. Brekke stated her concern regarding the pond with 4 feet of standing water and no fence. She said she was concerned with the effect of the pond on land below the level of the pond. She said that traffic before and after games was a concern and what would prevent traffic from cutting over to 34th Avenue North. She said she was also concerned with increased pedestrian traffic and the possibility of people cutting through yards; and, the visibility of the 8 -foot fence which would detract from the view. She read a letter from her neighbor Greg Tenant who was opposed to the complex because it would decrease property values and the drainage pond would be a a risk to small children. Mr. Tenant also stated in his letter that he was concerned with toxins which would contaminate the pond. Chairman Stulberg introduced Ms. Susan Byrnes of 10705 34th Avenue North. Ms. Burns read a letter written by her husband and stated that she concurred with his views concerning the idea that the neighborhood should have input on the design. She said that very few people were notified of the neighborhood meeting and that the drainage system was not discussed at the meeting. She said that drainage is already a problem in this area. She said that traffic was a concern and asked that no parking signs be placed on surrounding streets before games. She said she wondered how the fence could be constructed without damaging the trees. Chairman Stulberg introduced Mr. Joe Edwards of 3600 Union Terrace Lane. Mr. Edwards stated his dismay at being advised of what was going on by the 500 foot notice sent to him by the City as required by State Law. He said his concerns included the impact of night time use, what the day time use would be, and the noise and traffic. He said he would like to see no parking signs posted during events along 36th Avenue Planning Commission Minutes July 27, 1994 Page 147 as well of 34th and on the other side streets. He suggested that the school's operation plan to clean adjoining streets also include cleaning adjacent property. Property values were also a concern. He said he wanted additional time of one week to look at the staff report. Chairman Stulberg introduced Mr. Don Johnson of 10725 34th Avenue North. Mr. Johnson stated most of his concerns had been addressed including parking along 34th and drainage from the facility. He suggest that the pond be moved up level to and east of the football field. Chairman Stulberg introduced Ms. Judy Regan of 3559 Pilgrim Lane. Ms. Regan stated most of her concerns were addressed by others. She said that the process was a concern and the neighborhood was not effectively communicated with. She said she lived in Tiberon and not notified. She said she would like a decision delayed so the neighbors could discuss this more with the school. Chairman Stulberg introduced Ms. Merrilee Riley of 13010 37th Avenue North. Ms. Riley stated she was in favor of this request. She said she did not live in the neighborhood but has six children. She said this proposal should be looked at as an opportunity for the staff, parents and others to address the problems, many of which already exist because of the high school. She said there are limited options for where the students play their footballs games. She said the neighborhood concerns need to be addressed but the complex can be made to work. Chairman Stulberg introduced Mr, Warren Solom of 3600 Trenton Lane. Mr. Solom stated his concerns were traffic along 36th Avenue and the exit of vehicles from the upper parking lot. He said that there is no light at 36th Avenue and this should be looked at. Chairman Stulberg introduced Mr. David Swanovich of 8009 34th Avenue North. Mr. Swanovich stated he was from Crystal and was the head football coach at Armstrong. He said he was speaking for the kids and their needs for a home field. He said that home games conjure up values and this project would enhance the educational experience for the kids. He discussed the current athletic program for students 9th grade through 12th grade. He said that traffic control should not be a problem. Chairman Stulberg introduced Ms. Barbara Temp of 10505 34th Avenue North. J Planning Commission Minutes July 27, 1994 Page 148 Ms. Temp stated her concerns for the security of the facility and with outsiders coming into the neighborhood. She said that a 14 -foot fence on top of a cement wall on top of the berm would kill the roots of all the trees on the berm. She asked if traffic could be blockaded on both ends of 34th Avenue. She asked if the field would be open to the park board, and if so, the lights could be on 5 days a week. She asked if outside events or a state event could be held there. She said that there is construction equipment in the Tiberon wetland area which is causing a stream and standing water. Chairman Stulberg introduced Mr. Ed Van Waes of 3610 Union Terrace Lane. Mr. Van Waes stated most of his concerns had been addressed. He said that traffic was a concern. He wanted to verify that this complex was just for Armstrong High and that if the Cooper High plan was not approved there would have to be another Public Hearing if they wanted to use this complex. He asked that no parking be allowed on all side streets in the area. Chairman Stulberg introduced Mr. Les Weigelt of 10530 40th Avenue North. Mr. Weigelt stated that he lives southeast of Zachary Park. He said these light shine on his property now and he thought the lighting from this project would extend into the Tiberon development. He said that most of the concerns expressed tonight are preexisting concerns including the traffic. He said he was in favor of giving the kids a home field. Chairman Stulberg introduced Mr. David Chapman of 10900 34th Avenue North. Mr. Chapman stated that he agreed with the concerns of the previous 34th Avenue residents. He said he was concerned with students trespassing on private property, which is already happening. He said he felt the drainage pond should be fenced. Chairman Stulberg introduced Ms. Donna Comer of 10219 36th Place North. Ms. Comer stated her concerns were already voiced. She said she was not informed of this project in advance. She asked if there would be lighting for the baseball field and practice field. Chairman Stulberg introduced Mr. Tim Peterson of 3235 Wellington Lane. Mr. Peterson stated he supports this project. He said he would like to see the complex utilized for day activities as well as park board activities. He said that with the amount of money being spent it would be a benefit to utilize the complex for additional activities such as kite flying, baseball and neighborhood use. He asked if the noise standards will be in compliance with regulations. Planning Commission Minutes July 27, 1994 Page 149 Chairman Stulberg introduced Mr. David Thompson of 3320 Saratoga Lane. Mr. Thompson stated he was a student and hockey player and he felt that sharing a field was more special and that it would be cheaper to fix up existing baseball and football fields. He said that the 8 -foot fence was a concern because he walks to school and the fence would be in the way. He said the fence would also interfere with cross country skiing. He commented on the big equipment by the creek. Chairman Stulberg introduced Mr. Mark Byrne of 3399 Pilgrim Lane. Mr. Byrne stated he was employed by the Tiberon Homeowners Association and does not live in the area. He asked why the baseball field was going to be constructed on the existing football field. He stated that the homeowners were concerned with the grading changes; what type of landscaping will obscure the fence; and will the fence be 8 feet or 6 feet. He said that the cross country ski trail is groomed by the Tiberon HOA. He said they support the new facility, however, the only Tiberon people that will be affected by this development reside along the borders and would be affected only by the lights and traffic. He explained that the ditch along Pilgrim Lane had to be reconstructed and that is why the large construction equipment is in the area which is owned by the City. Chairman Stulberg introduced Mr. Eric Blank of 4625 Cottonwood Lane. Mr. Blank stated that he supports this new facility and said he feels the issues can be addressed within the community. He said the kids desire this opportunity and this would be a positive thing for the community. Chairman Stulberg introduced Kevin Moorhead of 8416 34th Avenue North. Mr. Moorhead stated that he is the track and field coach. He said they do not have a track field for the school at the present time and the kids have to practice on the grass. He said this project provide good facilities for the kids. Chairman Stulberg closed the Public Hearing. Chairman Stulberg called a recess at 8:25 p.m. the meeting reconvened at 8:35 p.m. Director Hurlburt addressed the process of the State law and the mailing of notices to surrounding homeowners. She stated that staff does encourage developers to meet with the surrounding neighbors, which the school district did. Chairman Stulberg stated that the power of the Planning Commission is governed by the ordinance and that real estate values are not a topic dealt with by the Planning Commission. Planning Commission Minutes July 27, 1994 Page 150 Associate Planner Keho discussed noise regulations and that the State regulations of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency must be followed. He said that if this project is approved the noise levels will be studied after the first game. Mr. Daniel Johnson, the School District's Engineer, responded to the following concerns. He said the school district would cooperate with any controls for traffic including no event parking signage. He said these issues would have to be discussed with the police department. Commissioner Hill asked if basketball games created any overflow parking. Mr. Johnson responded that the parking lots are filled but there have been no complaints tonight of community streets being used, nor is he aware of any complaints to the school by residents complaining of parking problems. He said that some residents of Tiberon called the school complaining about students parking in that development, probably so that they could avoid the fee for parking. He said the district would look at barricading streets allowing only local traffic and the use of personnel and police officers to direct traffic. Mr. Johnson addressed trash concerns and said this issue was covered at the residential meeting. He said that the school district would maintain the surrounding streets as they have always done around Mielke field after games. He said that they cannot go onto private property without being considered trespassers. He said that if a resident does have a problem they could call the school and they would assist in any cleanup needed resulting from litter. He said they had litter control teams which would clean up the streets early the following morning after games at and around Mielke Field. Mr. Johnson stated that the school district could hire extra personnel at the opening of the complex to show that the parking restrictions are firm. He said that from past experience most people and kids are gone from the site quickly after an event. He said they could have staff monitor the situation. Mr. Johnson discussed the locations and height of the fencing. He said the fencing would prohibit traffic into the wooded area on the south. He said this facility would not only be used at night with the lights on, that the physical education classes would be using the facility during the day. Mr. Roy Anderson, District Engineer, discussed the track and football field 8 -foot fence, and the spectator control fence around the track of 4 feet. He said the fence would be 6 feet around the upper fields for physical ed and softball. He said there would not be any 14 -foot fence and the wall would only be visible from the field and will help salvage the topography. Planning Commission Minutes July 27, 1994 Page 151 Associate Planner Keho stated that no City property taxes from citizens will be used to finance this project. Mr. Anderson stated that the topography will not be disturbed along the south and east side of the site. He said that additional trees will be added to the northeast corner as well as the upper north parking lot, and there is natural vegetation for buffering on the sides. Mr. Anderson stated that reasons for moving the football field from its current location include less negative impact from field lighting, less wind, and it physically would not fit with the addition of bleachers. Mr. Anderson stated that the upper area would be regraded and the lower field will be raised to improve the drainage along with the use of drain tile. City Engineer Faulkner discussed the City's drainage plan, stating that the increased impervious surface will not increase the runoff, and the drainage pond will treat and improve the water quality to protect the wetland. Mr. Johnson stated that they are required to obtain permits and work with water control agencies to address grading, erosion control and water treatment. He said it was best to treat drainage with a NURP pond, and a new storm sewer system with drain tile. This will not disturb the trees. He said the pond would hold 4 feet of standing water which would then flow to the creek to the south. City Engineer Faulkner stated that the slope design of the pond will be gradual making access out of the pond easy. Mr. Johnson stated that fencing of NURP ponds is discouraged so that emergency access is easy. Chairman Stulberg asked if the water will be treated before leaving the pond. Mr. Johnson responded that the NURP pond will have to be approved by the Bassett Creek Watershed District to ensure it complies with all regulations. Commissioner Black asked for reaffirmation of the runoff. City Engineer Faulkner stated that there will be no increased in the rate of runoff, there will be more runoff but the rate will not increase. Mr. Johnson stated that if the Cooper High playing field proposal is denied by the City of New Hope the school district will have to look at other alternatives. He said that the plan in Plymouth restricts outside groups from using the field. Planning Commission Minutes July 27, 1994 Page 152 Mr. Johnson discussed the daytime use of the complex which will include sub varsity soccer and football at 4:00 p.m. daily and track practice and meets which will be held after school. He said there would be some post season games if the team is successful and this could include as many as 2 or 3 regional games. If the team is unsuccessful there would be no post season games except in an emergency situation in the region. He said that no games outside the conference or the region would be held at the complex. Associate Planner Keho stated that it would be possible for the park board to use the open uncontrolled areas on the west side which would not be fenced and some areas could be opened if approved by the school district. Mr. Johnson discussed the sharing of facilities by the City of Plymouth and the school district and the good relationship they have. He said that the fencing and secured areas are necessary to protect the site, but that possibly a limited access gate could be installed to allow use of track for running and use of the baseball area by the City. He said there will be no lights in these areas. Mr. Johnson discussed the use of the lighted field stating that there would only be 4 home football games and 7 soccer dates, exclusive of post season play. He said that the district was considering asking for 8 lighted games in the future instead of 7. Mr. Johnson stated that the cross - country ski path will not be disturbed but that access gates will be placed at the southeast corner and at the northeast to allow a circle to be made through the Tiberon development. Commissioner Oja asked if the gates would just be open during the day for student use. Mr. Johnson responded yes. Commissioner Oja stated that the ski trail was also used by the neighborhood. Mr. Johnson stated that he was not aware of this use, and maybe some flexibility for opening the gates could be arranged during the winter. He said they would have to ensure that the press box and bleacher area remained secure. Mr. Johnson discussed their communication efforts with the neighborhood which included a meeting and publications. He said they made a real effort to communicate with the neighbors. He said that they would be responsive to monitoring the trespassing of students. Commissioner Black asked if residents should call the school if they have or see problems. Planning Commission Minutes July 27, 1994 Page 153 Mr. Johnson responded that there is a district hotline they can call and they respond within 24 hours. City Engineer Faulkner stated he was not aware of the equipment in Tiberon. He said that a street light is not required at 36th Avenue and the citizens need to petition the City for a street light which would then be processed and billed to them through the City utility bills. Associate Planner Keho showed the route the Tiberon students could use to get to school. Mr. Anderson stated that there would be a gate on the route which would be closed during school events but it could be opened during school hours and for skiing. Commissioner Oja asked if the students could walk along the wetland. She asked where the fence and gate would be located. Mr. Anderson explained that the fence would be up toward the top of hill and there would be no fence along the south with an entry for walking students at the southeast corner of the site. Associate Planner Keho discussed the parking requirements stated that the plan meets the parking requirements. Commissioner Oja asked where the fence near the scoreboard on the south would be placed. Associate Planner Keho responded that it would be placed on top of the berm. Commissioner Oja said there are thick woods in this area and wondered how a fence could be placed in this location without damaging the trees. Associate Planner Keho stated that the fence would be placed inside the tree line and they would cut into the hill to not take down any trees. Commissioner Oja stated that if they cut into the hill it would destroy trees. Associate Planner Keho stated that this issue was reviewed but that he could have the City Forester review it again. Commissioner Oja stated that she thought the fence should be on the north side of the hill. Planning Commission Minutes July 27, 1994 Page 154 Mr. Anderson pointed out the edge of tree line and said that the location of the fence was determined as to not impact any trees. Commissioner Oja asked how much of the fence would be visible from 34th Avenue North in the winter. Mr. Anderson responded that this will be a chain link fence with dense vegetation which will not be very visible. Commissioner Oja asked the school was doing anything to curb current vandalism and future vandalism and graffiti. Mr. Johnson stated that this is a big concern and they are looking at new ways to eliminate vandalism and graffiti. He said they are hoping that students will take great pride in the new facility and this may eliminate some of the problems. Commissioner Oja asked if there would be underground sprinkling. Mr. Johnson responded yes. Commissioner Oja stated that the pond was a concern. She asked if bore tests could be done to determine whether the ground is stable enough so the pollutants do not drain into the ground. Commissioner Oja stated that her concerns were with the noise from football; the lighting from the football field; possible problems in the woods; and, band noise in the a.m. and p.m. She said that soccer and track do not generate noise like football and maybe the neighbors would be more receptive if there was no football. Commissioner Oja stated that she thought litter control should include the Tiberon area and that the school district should clean out the wooded area as a gesture to the neighborhood. She said that students use the shuttle buses to reach the middle school and then they would walk through Tiberon and not wait for the bus. Mr. Johnson stated that they discussed a contingency plan to use Plymouth Middle School for parking and then use a shuttle bus to the high school but this is very remote. Mr. Johnson stated that nighttime games bring families and the community together. Commissioner Black suggested that condition No. 14 be changed to state that Plymouth Police officers be used unless they are not available. Director Hurlburt stated this request came from the Public Safety Department. t' . �b- Planning Commission Minutes July 27, 1994 Page 155 Mr. Johnson stated there have been times when they had to hire officers from outside the City or from a security company. Commissioner Oja what impact these events would have on Zachary Lane. City Engineer Faulkner responded that based on the land use this request is within traffic projections and the traffic generated will not be during peak hours. / �, i 10 Commissioner Albro stated that he was generally supportive of the request. He said that the traffic management and operational plan is only one page and could have been more specific as to the needs of the neighborhood. He said he was also concerned that the pond would not be fenced. Director Hurlburt stated that many other issues would be raised if the pond was fenced. She said that the slopes are gradual and are designed to be as safe as possible. Commissioner Oja asked if cattails could be planted to deter kids from going to the pond. Commissioner Hill asked if there was water in the creek. Commissioner Oja stated there was very little water in the creek. Mr. Johnson stated that the design of the pond includes a 10 -foot shelf with a drop of one foot and there would be cattails and vegetation which is the standard for ponds. MOTION by Commissioner Hill, seconded by Commissioner Stimson to recommend approval of the request by Independent School District 281 for Armstrong High School for a Site Plan Amendment, Conditional Use Permit and Variance for an athletic complex at 10635 36th Avenue North, subject to all conditions listed in the July 20, 1994 staff report. MOTION to Amend by Commissioner Black seconded by Commissioner Hill to revise condition No. 14 indicating that the use of Plymouth police officers is preferred unless otherwise not available. Roll Call Vote. 6 Ayes. Motion carried. Motion to Amend by Commissioner Oja to delete condition No 9. in it's entirety regarding the variances for the fence, lights and press box. Motion died for lack of a second. Planning Commission Minutes July 27, 1994 Page 156 Motion to Amend by Commissioner Oja, seconded by Commissioner Albro to change condition No. 9 making the fence 6 feet, the variances for the press box 20 feet, and the light poles 45 feet. Commissioner Stimson stated that she felt the variances are needed for the football field and they should not be cut in half. Commission Hill stated that his home backs up to the Oakwood play field and he had some of these same concerns before the field was constructed. He said that they don't hear the noise or see the lights. Roll Call Vote. 1 Aye, Commissioners Stimson, Hill, Black, Albro and Chairman Stulberg voted Nay. Motion failed on a 5 to 1 vote. MOTION by Commissioner Oja, seconded by Commissioner Albro to require boring and seepage tests to ensure that contaminants do no affect the surrounding land around the pond and surrounding homes. City Engineer Faulkner stated that NURP ponds are not lined in Plymouth because the soil is clay and does not allow much seepage. He said that there is a little seepage on the highest spots in Plymouth, but bore tests are unreasonable. He said that if seepage was occurring the pond wound not maintain a 4 -foot level. If seepage occurred they would have to install a liner. Roll Call Vote. 2 Ayes, Commissioners Stimson, Hill, Black and Chairman Stulberg voted Nay. Motion failed on a 2 to 4 vote. MOTION to Amend by Commissioner Oja to prohibit the use of the lights and press box if the facility is used by Plymouth Park Board. Motion died for lack of a second. MOTION to Amend by Commissioner Oja to require that any trees damaged or destroyed on the south portion of the site be replaced. Motion died for lack of second. Associate Planner Keho explained the tree preservation policy. MOTION to Amend by Commissioner Oja, seconded by Commissioner Stimson to add a condition requiring that the applicant comply with the Tree Preservation Policy. Roll Call Vote. 6 Ayes. Motion carried on a unanimous vote. Planning Commission Minutes July 27, 1994 Page 157 MOTION to Amend by Chairman Stulberg, seconded by Commissioner Albro to recommend that all residential streets that surround the site be barricaded during events allowing only local use. Director Hurlburt stated that it would be difficult to determine where to start and stop, and said possibly the recommendation should state that 34th Avenue be blocked. She said that a possible condition would be to review the plan once the field is in operation to see if further restrictions are needed. Commissioner Hill stated that this level of traffic has been routine for basketball games and that this request will not create a huge new influx of traffic. Chairman Stulberg requested that a change in the Motion to Amend include the provision that the school district and the City monitor the traffic plan and correct any problems that occur. Commissioner Albro concurred with the change in the Motion. Roll Call Vote on Motion to Amend. 4 Ayes, Commissioner Hill and Chairman Stulberg voted Nay. Motion carried on a 4 to 2 vote. MOTION to Amend by Commissioner Hill to recommend that any plan to barricade streets be delayed until the finish of the first season to see what happens based on a need or resident complaints. MOTION died for lack of second.

Associate Planner Keho reviewed the July 20, 1994 staff report. Chairman Stulberg introduced Ms. Michelle Foster, representing the petitioner. Ms. Foster stated that they were in agreement with the conditions of the staff report. She introduced Mr. Lee Wilwerding, Fingerhut Corporate Manager. Commissioner Black asked if there was currently a gravel trail on the site. Ms. Foster stated that there is no trail on the site at the present time and that it will be constructed this summer. Commissioner Black asked how it could be ensured that no seeds injurious to the wetland were in the seed mix. Associate Planner Keho responded that the City Forester looks at the seed mixes. Mr. Wilwerding stated that this facility would be the only data center for the company, that construction will begin this fall, and be completed in July 1995. Commissioner Oja stated that she did not see a landscape plan and was concerned with landscaping along the north side of the parking lot. Associate Planner Keho discussed the landscaping plan which was included in the Commissioner's packet. Commissioner Oja stated that she liked the landscape plan. Commissioner Black asked if there were any plans for recycling within the building. Mr. Welwerding stated that the company is very aggressive in this area and recycles an intensive amount of paper and items from the lunch rooms. Chairman Stulberg opened and closed the public hearing as there was no one present to speak on the subject. Commissioner Oja asked about condition No 13. regarding the fire lane variance.

Associate Planner Keho reviewed the July 5, 1994 staff report. Chairman Stulberg introduced Mr. John Doom the petitioner. Mr. Doom stated that he supported all of staff recommendations. Commissioner Oja asked what adding components to vehicles consisted of. Mr. Doom responded that it included covering steering wheels, boosters and other enhancements to vehicles. He said it is done mostly for car dealers. Chairman Stulberg opened and closed the Public Hearing and there was no one present to speak on the request. MOTION by Commissioner Stimson, seconded by Commissioner Hill to recommend approval of the request by John Doom Enterprises for a Conditional Use Permit for an automobile dealership in the Industrial District at 2085 East Center Circle North, subject to all conditions listed in the July 5, 1994 staff report. Chairman Stulberg stated that he vote in opposition of this request because he feels it is not essential to operations in the Industrial District. Roll Call Vote. 4 Ayes. Chairman Stulberg voted Nay, Commissioner Albro abstained. Planning Commission Minutes July 27, 1994 Page 160 INSPEC, INC.

The primary problem is that the situation is constantly and rapidly changing. Calls to support or oppose a particular proposal are outdated as soon as they are made. How then, can city officials effectively participate in the debate? Contact Senator Wellstone or Senator Durenberger, or your House member and ask them to keep cities and other local governments in mind as they work on health care reform. Urge parity between the public and private sectors on coverage, self- insurance, and rating issues. Our message is: Cities should not be treated differently than the private sector in the core features of reform. Second, several reform proposals that would give part-time employees prorated coverage from their employers would directly raise employment costs for many of Minnesota's cities. For instance, under the reform proposal offered by Senate Majority Leader Mitchell, part-time employees who work 40 hours a month or more would y P health care on a prorated basis and eligible for full benefits if they work more than 120 hours per month (or 30 hours per week). Other proposals have different thresholds of coverage, many of which would cost cities less than the Mitchell plan. The NLC is urging adoption of a part-time provision requiring employer coverage if the employee works at least 25 hours per week averaged over a three -month period. Finally, proposals for mandatory medicare coverage for local govern- ment employees would be extremely expensive. Unless phased in over a period of years, this proposed require- target t could make budgeting difficult. City officials should urge our Congres- sional delegation to be sensitive to the financial limitations of city budgets. Phoning or faxing messages to Senators Durenberger and Wellstone on these matters will help the NLC /LMC lobbying efforts. The mail won't get to the Senate fast enough to make an impact. There is a little more time to contact House members, because they will probably wait until the Senate passes a bill before they take up the issue. For more information or recent reports on Congressional action, call me at LMC or Janet Quist at NLC at (202) 626 -3020. LMC 2000 : Leadership and Service The 1994 Member Survey will be mailed September 6, 1994 to all Minnesota member cities. One city manager and/or administrator and one elected official from each city will receive the questionnaire as part of the League's 1994 strategic planning effort. The cooperation and assistance of all city officials is necessary to ensure a successful membership response. Surveys should be returned within a few days of receipt. Your opinions are important and essential to the League of Minnesota Cities. Thank you for your participation.

They are Blaine Mayor Elwyn Tinklenberg, Richfield Manager Jim Prosser, and Duluth Finance Director Elaine Hansen. The 1994 Legislature created the advisory council to provide a forum for discussion of and recommendations for funding future major transportation projects. The council will focus on projects such as light rail transit, interstate highways, and major bridges. The 15- member council must submit its report to the Legislature by February 1, 1995. The House also appointed Repre- sentatives Bernie Lieder (DFL- Crookston), Betty McCollum (DFL- North St. Paul), and Virgil Johnson (IR- Caledonia). The Senate appointments are Senators Carol Flynn (DFL- Minneapolis), Keith Langseth (DFL- Glyndon), Bill Belanger (IR- Bloomington); Gary DeCramer, Humphrey Institute University of Minnesota; and Rebecca Yanisch, public finance expert. The Governor's appointments are Dottie Rietow, Metropolitan Council Chair; Sally Evert, formerly a Washington County Commissioner and RTB chair, Diane Vinge, owner of L & D Trucking, Inc., and Charles Ferrell, executive commit- tee of the Downtown Minneapolis Transportation Management Council. Commission to look at firefighter relief associations The Legislative Commission on Pensions and Retirement will consider suggestions to revise and clarify the regulation of volunteer firefighter relief associations. City officials and fire department members are invited to speak at meeting on September 21 in Room 107 of the State Capitol from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. The League has accepted an invitation from the commission to testify on behalf of our members. If you have any concerns or problems with how local relief associations function or how the state regulates their operations, contact LMC General Counsel Stan Peskar at (612) 490 -5600 or 1- 800 - 925 -1122 plus your city code. Leadership institute advisory committee holds video conference meeting Sharon Klumpp In an experiment to make the League more accessible to member cities, the Leadership Institute Advisory Committee held its August 10 meeting via video. Members attended the meeting at sites in Plymouth, Moorhead, and Duluth. The Minnesota Equal Access Network Services (MEANS) provided the video services. Committee members wanted to experience video technology and to explore its potential in providing training programs to local officials. In addition, the League wanted to evaluate the effectiveness of using video with multiple remote sites. While the picture quality and ease of use received high ratings from participants, the overall effectiveness of the meeting received mixed ratings. Participants appreciated not having to travel to a distant meeting site, but most felt that committee dynamics were less spontaneous than face -to -face meetings. The inability to respond to nonverbal communication or to see participants from other sites contrib- uted to this reaction. Participants were divided on whether the League should conduct more meetings via video. Meetings that require brainstorming and a high level of interaction between members would not be good candidates for a video conference. However, meetings that entail presentations or reporting information could easily be adapted to a video conference format, especially if meeting faculty make a conscious effort to ask questions and solicit opinions from participants at remote meeting sites. The cost of holding a video conference still limits widespread use of this technology. Even with dis- counts, the cost of the two -hour video conference totaled approximately $600. Procedures for apportioning the cost of video conferences could be developed if members find it to be a useful tool for increasing their involvement in League programs and activities. August 23, 1994 Page 3 ADA guidelines New guidelines on accessibility under the Americans with disabili- ties act are available to help cities with standards that apply particu- larly to state and local government facilities. These guidelines give supple- mental information to the Ameri- cans with disabilities act accessibil- ity guidelines ( ADAAG) and uniform federal accessibility standards (UFAS) cities have already adopted. The guidelines include information on public rights of way, voting booths and polling now available places, automatic doors, entrances, swimming pools, building signs, sales and service counters, and telecommunication devices for the deaf (TDDs). Cities that use the ADAAG standards must follow these new guidelines. Those using the UFAS standards do not, but should consider doing so because the Department of Justice may soon require all cities to follow ADAAG standards. Copies of the guidelines are available from the League's research department. Piper income portfolio meeting planned At the request of several member cities, the League will coordinate a meeting of the government participants in Piper Capital Management's Institutional Government Income Portfolio. The purpose of the meeting will be to share information and perspectives. The meeting is scheduled for 1:30 p.m., Thursday, September 1, 1994, at the League of Minnesota Cities offices. We presently do not know of all the participants in the portfolio. Consequently, if you know of govern- ment participants who you think would like to attend the meeting, please invite them. If you have any questions please contact Tom Grundhoefer at the League office (612) 490 -5600 or 1- 800 -925- 1122 plus your city code. LMCIT board approves budget Peter Tritz The LMCIT board of trustees met July 21 and approved the proposed budget for LMCIT's staff operations for the 1994 -95 budget year. LMCIT uses a combination of in -house staff and outside contract service providers to operate its programs. In -house staff operations represent a relatively small percentage of LMCIT's costs - -about five percent of premiums for the property /casualty program and about two percent for workers compensation. An ongoing issue for the LMCIT board is whether particular services are best performed by in -house staff, by outside contractors, or by a combina- tion. The trustees approved several changes in LMCIT's in -house staffing for the coming year which should help LMCIT perform more effectively and more economically. LMCIT added a staff attorney in 1993 to handle workers compensation litigation. Using in -house legal staff has substantially reduced defense costs for the workers compensation program. For 1994 -95 the board decided to expand the workers compensation defense staff by adding a half -time attorney and a legal assistant along with support staff. With these changes the in -house staff should be able to handle virtually all of the litigation for the workers compensation program. Since late 1992, in -house adjusters have handled liability and property claims for cities in the eastern part of the metropolitan area. For the coming year, LMCIT will add a fourth adjuster and also expand slightly the territory the in -house staff covers, to bring the staffing level and the workload into closer balance. Over the next year, LMCIT will review and reevaluate the overall claims adjusting structure to determine whether it makes sense to further expand the in -house function and if so in what ways. The trustees agreed to share with the League the cost of a proposed new support services position, subject to the League board's final approval. A major responsibility of this position would be managing, planning, and enhancing the League's and LMCIT's computer and information systems capabilities. The trustees also approved acquisition of additional computer and related hardware. The trustees also reviewed and approved plans for LMCIT's loss control activities. One focus will be to develop videos to bring loss control topics to elected officials. Besides the budget - related issues, the board clarified that LMCIT's share of the construction costs of the new League office building will be split equally between the workers compen- sation and property /casualty programs. Page 4 LMC Cities Bulletin Rules requiring contracts with targeted group businesses withdrawn Sarah Hackett An administrative law judge has ruled that the commissioner of trans- portation does not have authority to propose new rules for targeted group businesses (TGBs). The commissioner had proposed that the department draft rules to require contracts through municipal state aid (MSA) and county state aid (CSAH) to have a set -aside for these targeted businesses. MnDOT currently requires contracting for targeted businesses for its contracts. No data shows that cities or counties have discriminated against (under represented) certain groups when granting contracts. However, the department will now ask the Legisla- ture to fund a study of whether certain groups (racial, ethnic, religious groups) have been under represented in local public works contracting. If the study finds that there has been a lack of adequate contracting certain groups of contractors, they are likely to request legislative authority to try this rule- making process again. The state municipal contracting law currently allows local governments to award predetermined portions of their contracts to targeted business groups (Minn. Stat. 471.345). If you have questions or concerns about these activities, please contact Carl Fransen, Target Group Businesses, 395 John Ireland Blvd, Mail Stop 170, St. Paul, MN 55155, (612) 297 -1869, or Pat Murphy, Director - State Aid 395 John Ireland Blvd, 420 Transportation Bldg, St. Paul, MN 55155, (612) 296- 3011.

The League of Minnesota Cities invites all cities to participate in Cities Week, September 25 through October 2, 1994. The purpose is to celebrate cities and help citizens better understand what cities do. Because cities are so diverse, the League suggests cities plan activities to fit the needs and personalities of their communities. Your city can participate in one, some, or all of the possible activities. We hope all cities will encourage students to participate in the statewide poster and essay contests. Creating good citizens begins during the school years. We've asked Governor Carlson to designate the last week in September as Cities Week, and we invite all cities to pass resolutions proclaiming Cities Week in their cities. How to get started? Cities Week will be a successful celebration if each community creates a committee to plan events and designates a contact person. The committee can be made up of councilmembers, staff, community members, or any combination of these. The contact person will correspond with the League. The costs to participate are minimal, so you can join in the festivities and increase awareness of what cities do without a major expense. A commitment of your time will be the major cost. Activity ideas • Recognition of volunteers • Awards program • Video or slide show about the city • Open houses /tours of city facilities • Mayor /councilmember /city staff exchange • Special council meeting /town meeting • Concerts or street dances/ball games or tournaments • Cleanup or fix -up days, special recycling or garbage pickup days • Adopt -a- programs • Special city /school /community partner- ship activities • Poster and essay contests How do we get more Information? Call Tim Busse at the League at 612/ 490 -5600 or 1-800- 925 -1122 plus your city code.

A description of the columns is provided below. The 1995 HACA calculations reflect little, if any, change from the 1994 certifications because there are no scheduled class rate reductions effective for taxes payable in 1995. In addition, the 1993 Legislature eliminated the HACA growth factor for cities. This growth factor formerly increased the HACA distributions for cities based on the annual increase in the number of households. Minor adjustments to the HACA distributions are largely due to the delayed impact of the seven - county metropolitan area fiscal disparities program. Other minor changes are due to annexations or other boundary changes. These figures are generally final. The final HACA distributions could be affected by tax increment financing penalty that will apply to cities that have created or amended TIF districts by adding geographic area after April 30, 1990. The Department of Revenue will compute these penalties in the next several weeks and notify all affected cities. Other HACA adjustments may be made for previously unreported annexation or boundary changes. Column Descriptions Cert 94 HACA - -The amount of HACA certified for each city for payment in 1994. Base Adjust -- Adjustments to the 1994 certified HACA for annexations and other boundary changes (Refer to notes below). Notes- - Note (1) Adjustments for HACA for annexations affecting certain cities and towns in Swift and Sherburne Counties in 1993. Note (2) Adjustments for HACA for annexations affecting certain cities and towns in 1994 (annexations occurring between August 2, 1992 and August 1, 1993). HACA base - -The sum of column 1 (1994 certified HACA) and column 2 (base adjustments). Fiscal Disp Adjust -- Additional HACA in 1995 for cities in the seven - county metro area due to the delayed impact of the fiscal disparities program. Initial 1995 HACA - -The sum of column 4 (HACA Base) and column 5 (Fiscal Disp Adjust). Final Adjustment -- Adjustments for HACA for annexations affecting certain cities and towns in 1995 (annexations occurring between August 2, 1993 and August 1, 1994). Cert 1995 HACA- -The "final" 1995 certified HACA. As mentioned above, these figures do not include reductions for TIF penalties or any other adjustments for annexations that have not yet been reported to the Department of Revenue.

It also describes how officials view their capacity to bring about economic development, and what they see as political issues sur- rounding economic development as a strategy for poverty reduction. June /July 1994. Approximately 30 pages. $15 NLC Members /$25 Non - members. "I really enjoyed this. The perceptions of local officials about poverty and economic development, whether right or wrong, determine what they do about these issues. The report shed light on the battle of ideas that takes place at the local level, especially the conflict and confusion over the difference between poverty reduc- tion strategies and services that meet the immediate needs of the poor."

Some curbs were replaced. My curb was not replaced. I advised the city that I thought my curb needed attention in at least two areas and the curb was patched. The patch came out and they repatched it. Now I see the new curb in our neighborhood is being marked for cracks. I assume the new curb is being replaced. Yet no one marks my curb and it is the worst. I am upset that my curb was not replaced- in at least two sections - before the new mat was in- stalled. I dislike seeing my curb deteriorate while others qot curbs replaced with less damage than mine. On either side of my driveway the problem is bad, and will qet worse as plows hit the loose portions. Why can I not get relief? Please see if a permanent solution is possible. Thank, von, Dennis Zylla 3125 Holly Lane N. Plymouth, MN. 55447 J DATE: August 29, 1994 TO: Dwight Johnson, City Manager FROM: Fred G. Moore, Director of Public Works SUBJECT: LETTER FROM JON AND STACY GALLOP SPEED LIMIT - ZACHARY LANE Attached is a letter I received from Robert Maher of the City Attorney's office addressing the City's authority to establish the speed limit on Zachary Lane. I had requested the City Attorney to address this issue after receiving a letter from Jon and Stacy Gallop. For your information I am attaching a copy of two letters from the Gallops, my two letters to the City Attorney, and the two letters from the City's Attorney's office. Robert Maher states in his August 25 letter as follows: "After reviewing the site in person, reading the statute, and speaking with the Office of Traffic Engineering of the Minnesota Department of Transportation, Allen and I have concluded that Zachary Lane does not meet the definition of an urban district as defined in this statute. " If the roadway meets the definition of an urban district, the City Council by resolution may declare the segment meeting that definition an urban district and may establish a 30 m.p.h. speed limit. On August 3, 1994 when I responded to the Gallops that their letter directed to Anne Hurlburt, Director of Planning and Community Development, had been referred to me, I stated that I would have the City Attorney research this issue. It further stated that after I received the opinion from the City Attorney I would be presenting this information to the City Council. I am requesting your direction on how to present the conclusions of the City Attorney to the City Council and the Gallops. After you have reviewed the material, please let me know how you would like me to proceed. attachments ROBERT L. CROSBY LEONARD M. ADDINGTON ROBERT R. BARTH N. WALTER GRAFF ALLEN D.

PINE Allen Barnard asked me to investigate and respond to your August 15, 1994 letter requesting an opinion of whether Zachary Lane meets the definition of an urban district as defined by Minn. Stat. § 169.01, subd. 59. After reviewing the site in person, reading the statute, and speaking with the Office of Traffic Engineering of the Minnesota Department of Transportation, Allen and I have concluded that Zachary Lane does not meet the definition of an urban district as defined in this statute. Minn. Stat. § 169.01, subd. 59 defines an urban district as "the territory contiguous to and including any street which is built up with structures devoted to business, industry, or dwelling houses situated at intervals of less than 100 feet for a distance of 1/4 mile or more." We do not believe that there is a 1/4 mile section of Zachary Lane between Bass Lake Road and 36th Avenue which meets this definition. We believe, and the Department of Transportation concurs, that Zachary Lane would need to be built up with structures situated at intervals of less than 100 feet on both sides in order to qualify as an urban district under the statute. Our examination of the property and a map which you sent did not reveal any 1/4 mile sections of Zachary Lane which have structures situated less than 100 feet apart on both sides of the street. Mr. Fred G. Moore, P.E. August 24, 1994 Page 2 Moreover, the Department of Transportation informs me that the Department is also concerned about the number of access points onto a street and considers that to be a major factor in determining whether to challenge a city's declaration of an area as an "urban district." As you know, Zachary Lane does not appear to have a large number of intersecting roads or driveways in the area between Bass Lake Road and 36th Avenue. Please contact Allen Barnard or me if you have any questions or comments on this matter. Very truly yours, /C��/ /11��I' Robert D. Maher Assistant City Attorney RDM:dmr RDM \9300 \920191 \9904.LTR �F L -; J August 15, 1994 CITY OF PLYMOUTH+ Mr. Alan Barnard, City Attorney BEST & FLANAGAN 4000 First Bank Place 601 Second Ave. South Minneapolis, MN 55402 -4331 SUBJECT: SPEED LIMITS ZACHARY LANE Dear Alan: Thank you for your letter of August 10, 1994 responding to my August 3 letter concerning the City's authority to establish the speed limit on Zachary Lane. I am attaching a copy of a letter dated August 8, 1994 which I received from Jon and Stacy Gallop on the same issue. They are the same parties that I sent you a copy of their July 28 letter. I believe the letter from the Gall9ps can be summarized that it is their opinion that Zachary Lane meets the definition of an "Urban District" and therefore in accordance with Minnesota Statute 169.14, Subd. 5B the City Council has the authority to declare it an Urban District and establish a 30 m.p.h. speed limit. I am requesting your opinion of whether Zachary Lane meets the definition of an Urban District as defined in Statute 169.01, Subd. 59. In your previous letter you quoted that definition as follows: "The territory contiguous to and including any street which is built up with structures devoted to businesses, industry, or dwelling houses situated at intervals of less than 100 feet for a distance of 1/4 mile or more." I am enclosing a copy of plat maps adjacent to either side of Zachary Lane from Bass Lake Road to 36th Avenue. On those drawings I have indicated areas such as: • Trail outlot • Private open space • Park • Vacant • Water plant • Church • School • Water tower • Wetland We Listen • We Solve • We Care 3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD • PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447 • TELEPHnNF (R19) r;r;n_rnnn Mr. Alan Barnard, City Attorney August 15, 1994 Page Two These are areas that do not readily meet the definition. Also the definition states that structures must be situated at intervals of less than 100 feet. A question that arises, does this mean both sides of the street or one side of the street? Also a question might be, how is this distance measured? Do you project the corner of each structure to the centerline of the street. In order that the letters from John and Stacey Gallop can be presented to the City Council, I need your opinion in this matter. If you would like to drive Zachary Lane to view the situation and the land uses and structure along the roadway, please let me know. Also, if you need any additional information to provide this opinion, please contact me. Sincerely, Fred G. Moore, P.E. Director of Public Works enclosures cc: Dwight D.

AU6 1 Z 1994 Director of Public Works City of Plymouth 3400 Plymouth Boulevard � Plymouth, MN 55447 0 6 Re: Speed Limits Dear Fred: This letter is in response to your August 3, 1994 letter concerning speed limits. You requested an opinion on what new laws concerning speed limits have been adopted in the most recent legislative session and on the City of Plymouth's authority to establish speed limits on "local streets." First, it is helpful to address what the law was prior to the most recent legislative changes. Minn. Stat. § 169.14 essentially gives control of speed limits to the Commissioner of Transportation. Minn. Stat. § 169.14, subd. 5, allows a city to request the Commissioner to authorize a slower limit in a local area. Likewise, Minn. Stat. § 169.14, subd. 5(a) allows a city to establish a slower school speed limit within a school zone based on engineering and traffic investigation by the Commissioner. Minn. Stat. § 169.14, subd. 5(b) allows a city to establish a speed limit of 30 miles - per -hour in urban districts on city streets, municipal state aid streets, or town roads. "Urban district" is defined by Minn. Stat. § 169.01, subd. 59 as the territory contiguous to and including any street which is built up with structures devoted to business, industry, or dwelling houses situated at intervals of less than 100 feet for a distance of 1/4 mile or more. That statute requires for the establishment of the 30 mile - per -hour zone that the urban district be at least 1/4 mile in distance, the governing body of a city have declared Mr. Fred G. Moore, P.E. August 10, 1994 Page 2 by resolution the segment to be an urban district, signs designating the speed and indicating the beginning and end of the segment be posted, and a copy of the resolution designating the segment as an urban district be transmitted to the Commissioner at least 10 days prior to the erection of the signs. As you note in your letter, the legislature in the 1994 session made changes to the law. The new law creates a 25 mile - per -hour speed limit in "residential roadways" if adopted by the road authority having jurisdiction over the residential roadway. "Residential roadway" is defined by the new legislation as a "street or portion of a street that is less than 1/4 mile in length and is functionally classified by the Commissioner of Transportation as a local street." In your letter, you asked whether a 1/4 mile section of a two -mile street could be classified as a residential roadway. Based on my reading of the statute and my conversations with the Office of Traffic Engineering of the Department of Transportation, I conclude that a 1/4 mile section of a longer street could be classified as a residential roadway. That is the opinion of the Department of Transportation as well. You also requested clarification on the portion of the definition which reads "functionally classified by the Commissioner of Transportation as a local street." The answer to this question is a little more difficult because this appears to be a poorly drafted portion of the legislation. Research did not reveal a functional classification of or by the Commissioner of Transportation of "local streets." However, based upon my conversations with the Office of Traffic Engineering of the Department of Transportation, I believe that the phrase means, or at least the Department of Transportation believes it to mean, city streets, municipal state aid streets, or town roads as those terms are used and defined in Minn. Stat. § 169. To address concerns raised by this new legislation, the Office of Traffic Engineering of the Department of Transportation informs me that the department will be issuing a classification of those roads which it considers to NOT be "residential roadways," which will provide some guidance. The only other guidance which I received was that the Department of Transportation, in consultation with the Attorney General's office, has taken the position that the language of the new legislation prohibits an interpretation and application which would result in "chaining together" a number of 1/4 mile segments of "residential roadway." In other words, a city could not have Mr. Fred G. Moore, P.E. August 10, 1994 Page 3 two contiguous segments of "residential roadway" with a 25 miles - per -hour speed limit. Finally, I do not believe that the new statutory language is in conflict with the already established 30 mile - per -hour zone for urban districts or the establishment of reasonable speed limits on roadways in accordance with traffic engineering studies by the Commissioner of Transportation. The urban district speed limit applies to segments of a road which exceed 1/4 mile in distance while the new residential roadway speed limits apply to segments which are less than 1/4 mile in length. I expect that speed limits on roadways will, for the most part, still be established in accordance with traffic engineering studies by the Commissioner. However, the new statutory language adds an exception to this generally followed procedure which cities that meet the requirements may utilize. If you have any other questions or comments on this or any other matter, please contact me. Very tr yours, Allen D. Barnard ADB:ram /9315.ltr 11020 39th Avenue Plymouth, MN 5544 August 8, 1994 m Mr. Fred G. Moore Director of Public Works City of Plymouth 3400 Plymouth Boulevard Plymouth, MN 55447 Dear Mr. Moore: ef, 4 .M N A U6 1 p 1994 _ We received your letter dated August 3, 1994, in which you state our references to statutes are different from the copy of-the "new law" you received from the League of Minnesota Cities. Please note that the copy you attached to the letter contains only the 1994 changes to the statute. Your enclosure was only a small portion of the complete statute. Every statute mentioned in our letter is still current law. You stated that you asked the City Attorney to "research what is the correct law." There is no dispute that the law we cite is correct. The 1994 amendments you cite in no way affect the power of the City of Plymouth to change the speed limit on Zachary Lane. We enclose a copy of Minn. Stat. S 169.14, Subd. 5b which provides the City of Plymouth with the power to lower the speed limit. Please read this subdivision and you will see that the City's power to change the speed limit is clear. The subdivision applies to circumstances exactly like those faced by the City at this time. The speed limit on Zachary Lane was established in excess of 30 miles per hour pursuant to an engineering and traffic investigation by the highway commissioner. Zachary Lane :;efts the definition, of "urban district" as defined in S 169.01, Subd. 59. Therefore the City of Plymouth may, by resolution, declare Zachary Lane to be an urban district and establish the statutory speed limit of 30 miles per hour. While we appreciate your inquiry into the matter, we wanted to make sure you were making a decision based on a reading of the whole statute, not just the 1994 amendments. We look forward to hearing making your presentation to present. Si 7nd .

Alteration of speed limits on streets and highways shall be made only upon authority of the commissioner except as provided in subdivision 5a. Subd. 5a. Speed zoning in school zones. Local authorities may establish a school speed limit within a school zone of a public or nonpublic school upon the basis of an engineering and traffic investiga- tion as' prescribed by the commissioner of transportation. The establish- ment of a school speed limit on any trunk highway shall be with the consent of the commissioner of transportation. Such school speed limits shall be in effect when children are present, going to or leaving school during opening or closing hours or during school recess periods. The school speed limit shall not be lower than 15 miles per hour and shall not be more than 20 miles per hour below the established speed limit on an affected street or highway if the established speed limit is 40 miles per hour or greater. The school speed limit shall be effective upon the erection of appropri- ate signs designating the speed and indicating the beginning and end of the reduced speed zone. Any speed in excess of such posted school speed limit is unlawful. All such signs shall be erected by the local authorities on those streets and highways under their respective jurisdic- tions and by the commissioner of transportation on trunk highways. For the purpose of this subdivision, "school zone" means that section of a street or highway which abuts the grounds of a school where children have access to the street or highway from the school property or where an established school crossing is located provided the school advance sign prescribed by the manual on uniform traffic control devices adopted by the commissioner of transportation pursuant to section 169.06 is in place. All signs erected by local authorities to designate speed limits in school zones shall conform to the manual on uniform control devices. Subd. 5b Segments' in urbane districts. When any segment of at least a quarter -mile in distance of any city street, municipal state aid a street or town road on which a speed limit in excess of 30 miles per hour r± has been established pursuant to an engineering and traffic investigation by the commissioner meets the definition of "urban district" as defined tI in section 169.01, subdivision 59, the governing body of the city or town f may by resolution declare the segment to be an urban district and may establish on the segment the speed limit for urban districts prescribed in subdivision 2. The speed limit so established shall be effective upon the erection of appropriate signs designating the speed and indicating the beginning and end of the segment on which the speed limit is established, and any speed in excess of such posted limits shall be unlawful. A copy 145 § 169.14 HIGHWAYS; ROADS l 9 of the resolution shall be transmitted to the commissioner at least 10 days prior to the erection of the signs. Subd. 5c. Speed zoning in alleyways. Local authorities may regu- late speed limits for alleyways as defined in section 169.01 based on their own engineering and traffic investigations. Alleyway speed limits estab- lished at other than 10 miles per hour shall be effective when proper signs are posted. Subd. 6. Repealed by Laws 1971, Ex.Sess., c. 27, § 49, eff. Aug. 4, 1971. Subd. 7. Burden of proof. The provisions of this chapter declaring speed limitation shall not be construed to relieve the plaintiff in any civil action from the burden of proving negligence on the part of the defend- ant as the proximate cause of an accident. Subd. S. Minimum speeds. On determining upon the basis of an engineering and traffic investigation that a speed at least as great as, or in excess of, a specified and determined minimum is necessary to the reasonable and safe use of any trunk highway or portion thereof, the commissioner may erect appropriate signs specifying the minimum speed on such highway or portion thereof. The minimum speed shall be effective when such signs are erected. Any speeds less than the posted minimum speeds shall be prima facie evidence that the speed is not reasonable or prudent and that it is unlawful. Subd. 9. Standards of evidence. In any prosecution in which the rate of speed of a motor vehicle is relevant, evidence of the speed of a motor vehicle as indicated on the speedometer thereof shall be admissible on a showing that a vehicle is regularly used in traffic law enforcement and that the speedometer thereon is regularly and routinely tested for accuracy and a record of the results of said tests kept on file by the agency having control of said vehicle. Evidence as to the speed indicated on said speedometer shall be prima facie evidence that the said vehicle was, at the time said reading was observed, traveling at the rate of speed so indicated; subject to correction by the amount of error, if any, shown to exist by the test made closest in time to the time of said reading. Records of speedometer tests kept in the regular course of operations of any law enforcement agency shall be admissible without further foundation, as to the results of said tests. Such records shall be available to the defendant upon demand. Nothing herein shall be construed to preclude or interfere with the cross examination or impeach- ment of evidence of rate of speed as indicated by speedometer readings, pursuant to the rules of evidence. Subd. 10. Radar; speedalyzer devices; standards of evidence. In any prosecution in which the rate of speed of a motor vehicle is relevant, evidence of the speed as indicated on radar or other speedalyzer devices is admissible in evidence, subject to the following conditions: 146 i Fitt GCpv �r S� August 3, 1994 CITY C PLYMOUTR Mr. Allan Barnard, City Attorney BEST AND FLANAGAN 4000 First Bank Place 601 Second Ave. So. Minneapolis, MN 55402 -5897 SUBJECT: SPEED LIMITS Dear Allan: Attached is a letter which I received from Jon and Stacy Gallop concerning the speed limit on Zachary Lane. 'The letter is referring to several sections of Minnesota Statutes which govern the establishment of speed limits. The Legislature in the 1994 session, made changes to the law. I requested from the League of Minnesota Cities a copy of those changes and attached is whatI received. The changes as indicated from the League is different than what is quoted in the letter. I am requesting that you investigate and determine what is the adopted law on speed limits. I am further requesting that you provide me an opinion of what authority the City of Plymouth has on establishing speed limits on "local streets" taking into account all of Section 169.14 of the Statute. I believe a key point in this will be the new definition of a "residential roadway" as indicated in the attachment. In part, this new definition states ... "A street, or a portion of a street that is less than 1/4 mile in length..." Does this mean that on ,a street that is maybe two miles long, a section 1/4 mile in length can be defined as residential? Also within that same definition it states ... "Functionally is classified by the Commissioner of Transportation as a local street..." What does this section of the definition mean?

Ms. Anne Hurlburt 0r7--y Or Director of Planning and Community Development C�.:,�f 'VUNI""V 1 pM �V e pr City of Plymouth rpEPT 3400 Plymouth Boulevard Plymouth, MN 55447 Dear Ms. Hurlburt: This letter is in regard Lake dangerous Zachary Lane from Road to 36th Avenue due to the high speed limit. In a meeting in Jun�0to reducetthe speed limit f t limitasdid numerous commission members wan ed citizens present. It was stated that the City of Plymouth has no control over the speed limit on the street. This is incorrect. We checked with the Traffic Engineering Division of the Minnesota Department of Transportation to verify this. Dan Branan, a department employee, stated that while the Transportation ed limits, the Commissioner is responsible for establ Lane b m the City of Plymouth speed limit can be lowered do Zachary Y without asking for the commissioner's approval. Minnesota Statute §169.14, Subd. 5b states that "[w]hen ay segment of at least a quarter -mile in distance of any municipal state aid street hourr has been established pursuant limit to an excess of 30 miles per the commissioner meets the engineering and traffic investigation the overning body of the city definition of urban district' . g or town may by resolution declare the segment to be an urban district and may establish on the segment the speed limit for urban districts prescribed by subdivision 2." Minn. Stat. 5169.14, Subd• ove r s that all speed limits in miles urban districts will be 30 P The statute defines an urban district as the area "contiguous to and including" any street which has structures "devoted to business, industry or dwelling houses u rtes oft a intervals or moress than 100 feet for a distance of a q Minn. Stat. §169.01, Subd. 59. Much of Zachary Lane fits within the definition of urban district especially from.36th Avenue North to Zachary Elementary School. Therefore the City of Plymouth has the power to declare Zachary Lane an urban district and lower the speed limit to 30 miles per hour. As you recall, you wanted the speed limit lowered because of the nature of the area in question until we were erroneously informed the change was outside the control of the City of Plymouth. Far from leaving the city powerless to respond to the dangerous speeds on city streets such as Zachary Lane, the legislature gave cities the authority to declare those city streets like Zachary Lane urban districts. By asserting its statutory authority and declaring the street an urban district, the City of. Plymouth can unilaterally lower the speed limit to a safer 30 miles per hour. Some stretches of Zachary Lane such as the two parks and Zachary Elementary School may not squarely fit the statutory definition of urban district, but fall within the clear intent and purpose of the statute. In the unlikely event the city's decision were to be questioned. in_ court,. th'ere::are: compelling reasons -as well,. as prior favorable decisions allowing the court to uphold the lower speed limit and the city's jurisdiction. The legislative intent behind the statute was to provide for a safe speed limit on city streets by taking into account the use of the land adjoining the street. The legislature decided the best governmental body to make that decision was the city itself because of the particular knowledge it would have of its own thoroughfares. Therefore, the legislature granted cities the power to declare a street an urban district. While the statute defines urban district, the statute also has room for interpretation. By giving- cities the power to declare what is an urban district, it also gave cities the necessary power to interpret the definition of urban district. This latitude gives the City of Plymouth the power to declare Zachary Lane an urban district and lower the speed limit to 30 miles per hour. In addition, it would be anomalous for the court to hold that the city can lower the speed limit around homes, but not around parks and schools where children play and cross the street. The current speed. limit is even. more questionable because the study establishing the speed limit was done nearly a decade ago before much of the development along Zachary including the recent improvement to County Road 9. Mr. Branan advised our office that the last Department of Transportation survey for that stretch of Zachary Lane was done on December 19, 1985. At that time the speed limit was set at 40 miles per hour for the stretch from 36th Avenue to County Road 9 and 45 miles per hour from County Road 9 to Bass Lake Road. In the 9 years that have followed the area surrounding Zachary Lane has undergone significant growth. The increase in population has brought with it a substantial increase in traffic on the street. The 40 to 45 mile per hour speed limit, combined with the high traffic volume, the school crossing, parks, and large number of homes and children make for a deadly combination. Because the speed limit on Zachary Lane was .set at 40 to 45 miles per hour nearly a decade ago, the city must assert its statutory power and lower the speed limit on Zachary Lane to 30 miles per hour for the safety of the children who live along Zachary, play in the parks and attend the school. The first step was taken to avoid injuries by keeping Zachary a two lane street, the final protection is a reduced speed limit of 30 miles per hour which it is the city s lzright to establish.

As you may know, we have a telemarketing location at 1405 Xenium Lane in Plymouth. There are approximately 650 employees at this location. During our upcoming fourth quarter, we plan to hire an additional 1000 temporary workers. A number of these employees use the bus service to get to and from work. This often means crossing Xenium at the busiest times of the day (early morning and late afternoon) at the entrance to our parking lot. The crossing is especially dangerous in the winter, when ice can compound the problem of trying to get across a street where traffic is moving rapidly in both directions. We employee several people who are visually impaired or have a physical disability. At this time, at least one of these employees uses the bus sustem, and must cross the street at the busiest time of the day. Because Fingerhut hires many people with disabilities, and strives to meet all ADA requirments, I can foresee more people having difficulty crossing this street in the future. As a company, Fingerhut is committed to the health and safety of its employees, both on and off the job. It is for this reason that I am asking you to please assess this situation and see what the city of Plymouth can do to address this problem.

SUBJECT: RESIDENTIAL TREE PRESERVATION CONCERNS BETWEEN HOLLY CREEK DEVELOPMENT AND CAVAN MEADOWS DEVELOPMENT This memo is in response to Council member David Anderson's request on August 19th for a staff report, to be included in the CIM's, concerning the above developments and the efforts and success of preserving trees. The trees along the property line in question had been addressed prior to grading and building, by both the developer, Janco, Inc., and the Forestry Division, Lara Carlson, (see attached documents). It was the Forestry Division understanding that these trees would be left intact as they were the only trees on the site and provided the only screening between the two developments. Early in the week of August 8th, I visited this area while responding to residential concern over the destruction of trees due to the installation of sanitary sewer and water for the new Cavan Meadows development. Initial concern was over the replacement of vegetation due to removal to facilitate the construction. Chuck Dillerud agreed to install 3 -5 trees to fill in the area that was being disturbed. I informally agreed to split the cost with the homeowners for installation of any other vegetation, if more than the 3 -5 trees were needed. Further discussion lead to their concern over the health of the wind row in general, as it appeared to them that little care or thought had taken place in saving the existing natural resources. Later that week, I was contacted by the Holm's, 4300 Fountain La N, and the Kinney's, 4290 Fountain La N., regarding the health of the trees along their eastern border and the possible damage to the root zone of these trees during the grading of Cavan Meadows. During this on -site visit, it appeared that the grading had indeed come very close to the trunks of the trees and most likely had damaged the eastern half of the root zones. It also appeared that little care had been taken to decrease the amount of damage, as no protective fencing was found and many branches were broken. I explained that the trees in question were of species (Elm, Box elder, & Ash) that could handle larger amounts of disturbance and damage, but that each tree has its own tolerance to changes in its natural surroundings. Also noted was the fact that when Holly Creek was developed to build their homes, the western half of the root zones were probably disturbed to create their backyards and provide adequate drainage. It would be difficult to determine the actual damage created by the most recent grading, but damage did occur. Both homeowners claimed that when they purchased their homes, the real estate agent promised that those trees would be there forever and that they assumed that the City Tree Preservation policy would ensure that they would indeed be saved and continue to create screening between their properties. I explained the current policy and that most of the trees in questions were not of a significant size to protect. I also explained that the Forestry Division had been under the impression from the developer that they would indeed save those trees regardless of the policy. I pointed out that the fence line area in question did contain a large number of smaller trees that would most likely continue to flourish, although that may not compensate for the possible loss of the larger trees. Also noted was the fact that many of the Elms would eventually succumb to Dutch Elm Disease. They weren't entirely happy with my explanation, but understood the situation. I instructed them to contact their Council member if they had further questions or concerns about the development process. Please let me know if you would like additional information. cc: Eric Blank, Director of Park & Recreation Mark Peterson, Superintendent of Parks NORTHWEST COMMUNITY TELEVISION 6900 Winnetka Ave. N., Brooklyn, Park, MN 55428 (612) 533 -8196 N E W S R E L E A S E F0r,,J1Ffff1-p47,e Release 8/30/94 For More Information Contact Tamisha Werner Print Promotions Coordinator 533 -8196 were are you.going to turn for local primary election results? &tbie °l2- NbwsAas the results you want when you want!

I 1 CITY OF PLYMOUTH 3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD, PLYMOUTH, MN 55447 DATE: September 1, 1994 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Dwight Johnson SUBJECT: Summary of Events Wetlands Ordinance Public Meetings. Two of three scheduled wetlands ordinance meetings with the public have been held this week at this writing. The public meeting at Parkers Lake was attended by only about a half -dozen people. Even in that small group, there was some division of opinion, with several supporting a strong ordinance and others worrying about the fairness of taking some property rights away from people. Developers were invited to the Wednesday meeting. While fewer than a dozen developers were there, they represented many of the largest developers in Plymouth. This group, predictably, had more questions and concerns. Some wondered why alternative and less burdensome methods to achieve water quality are not being tried first. Questions arose about how much good will come if 75 % (the developed portion) of the City will likely not have buffers required for those wetlands. There were also many procedural and technical questions. Several discussed that the hidden cost of such regulations is much more than the public imagines, and that Chanhassen's regulations have not been a success. Developers plan to meet over the next month and determine a position to take on the ordinance and its provisions. Planning Commissioners present invited the developers to make a presentation at a Planning Commission meeting on specific issues and concerns prior to the official public hearing in November. Budget. The new Plymouth News in the mail to residents has our budget news on the front page. It shows that no new City taxes are proposed for the average resident in 1995 and that we are one of the lowest cities for municipal taxes in the area. Ordinance regulating adult businesses. Staff is taking a close look at a very comprehensive ordinance recently approved by Bloomington relating to various kinds of adult businesses. They spent two years researching it. An initial review of Plymouth's regulations shows that we have many gaps in our regulations. Files show that the City considered new regulations several years ago, but the work was not completed, partly because many court cases on these issues were pending at that time. The law now seems more clear about what can be regulated and Bloomington has done excellent research. Adult businesses cannot be banned entirely, but they can be restricted to certain areas and a number of locational performance requirements (such as distance from schools and churches) can be legislated. Adoption of such regulations would seem to support our goal of protecting neighborhoods. City Center bids were received Thursday afternoon. Many recent City bids have been very high, since contractors seem to have almost too much work. You may recall that we recently rejected bids to develop Seven Ponds West Park in favor of coordinating the work ourselves. The apparent low bid was from Lund Martin Construction at $2,707,000. This is about $50,000 more than our most recent estimate and will not present a financial problem. We had five bids this year, compared with 13 bids last year. Considering the bidding climate, we are actually relieved to come as close to the last estimate as we did. Lund Martin has an unusually short time for construction (265 days) compared with 300 -390 days for the other bidders. This will help shorten the disruption for staff members. The architects will check out the credentials of the low bidder. Unless some negative report arises, staff will be recommending awarding this contract. 1 � CITY OF PLYMOUTH 3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD, PLYMOUTH, MN 55447 DATE: September 1, 1994 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Dwight D. Johnson SUBJECT: Purchase of Ess Property, Southwest of Schmidt Lake Road & I -494 In July, the Council tabled this item to receive an updated traffic study of expected conditions with and without an interchange at this location. The study has now been received and the relevant pages are attached for your information. This item will be on the September 12, 1994 agenda. We thought you might appreciate additional time in advance to review it. The study took a month or so longer than expected because of problems coordinating background assumptions with the Met Council's year 2015 general area traffic forecasts. The Met Council is just now switching from 2010 to 2015 in its projections. SRF STRGAR- ROSCOE- FAUSCH, INC.

Director of Public Works s City of Plymouth FROM: Dennis R. Eyler, P.E., Principal Jeffrey R. Bednar, Senior Traffic Engineering Specialist DATE: August 23, 1994 SUBJECT: SCHMIDT LAKE ROAD /1-494 INTERCHANGE STUDY UPDATED (YEAR 2015) FORECASTS FOR BUILD AND NO BUILD SCENARIOS As you requested, we have completed year 2015 traffic forecasts for "Build" and "No Build" scenarios for the subject interchange. Based on a review and analysis of these updated forecasts, the following comments and recommendations are offered for your consideration: 1. The primary study area and existing (1991) average daily traffic volumes within the study area are shown on Figure 1. 2. The traffic forecasts were developed using the 2015 regional travel forecasting model and a project level traffic forecasting model (CARS - Comprehensive Assignment and Routing System) within a window of the regional model (see Figure 2). 3. The year 2015 trip table for the study area was adjusted to account for what appears to be initial 2015 socio- economic data anomalies within the study area traffic assignment zones. This adjustment was made by comparing the previous 2010 trip table to the 2015 trip table and adjusting accordingly. 4. The resultant "Build" and "No Build" Schmidt Lake Road Interchange scenario 2015 daily traffic forecasts are shown on Figure 3. 5. Year 2015 daily traffic forecasts, volume to capacity ratios and corresponding levels of service for selected roadway segments within the study area, are tabulated for the Build and No Build scenarios as follows: Suite 150, One Carlson Parkway North, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55447 -4443 (612) 475 -0010 FAX (612) 475 -2429 Fred G.

Rd. 10 As indicated in the above tabulation the "No Build" Schmidt Lake Road scenario results in reduced traffic operations /levels of service on key segments of the study area roadway system. 6. Based on this forecast analysis it is recommended the City of Plymouth continue to plan for a future interchange at Schmidt Lake Road and 1-494. It can be expected that this interchange will be needed sometime after year 2010 and prior to year 2015. 7. The City may also wish to consider completing a review of the regional travel forecasting model future year socio- economic data for each of the traffic assignment zones within the City. Should you have any questions or comments concerning this traffic forecasting study, please contact us. DRE:bba Attachment (1) Volume to capacity ratio.

Level of Service B-- Stable flow with a high degree of freedom to select speed and operating conditions but with some influence from other users. Level of Service C -- Restricted flow which remains stable but with significant interactions with others in the traffic stream. The general level of comfort and convenience declines noticeably at this level. Level of Service D -- High- density flow in which speed and freedom to maneuver are severely restricted and comfort and convenience have declined even though flow remains stable. Level of Service E— Unstable flow at or near capacity levels with poor levels of comfort and convenience. Level of Service F -- Forced flow in which the amount of traffic approaching a point exceeds the amount that can be served, and queues form, characterized by stop- and -go waves, poor travel times, low comfort and convenience, and increased accident exposure.
