their families living in the 15. cities
in northwest Hennepin County. .
Outreach counselors
respond to crisis calls from youth
(ages 10 to 17), police, school
representatives, parents, and family
members or guardians. They go. to
the site of the crisis, which may be
the streets, a home, police
department, or school. A service
plan is developed with the youth
and the family to meet the needs of
both parties so reunification can
take place. in sonne cases, temporary
housing is provided in a sale and
age-appropriate shelter until
unresolved conflict% can be
addressed to prevent future crisis.

SUBJECT: DRAINAGE ISSUES
1506 WESTON LANE
CITY PROJECT NO. 130
Dear Ms. Feuling:
11; .3a
I am responding to the letter which you sent to both Mayor Joy Tierney and Planning
Commission Chairman Michael Stulberg. This letter concerns the drainage and temporary
flooding of the backyard on your property at 1506 Weston Lane. Both you and I have
discussed this subject over several years as the City has undertaken projects to improve the
situation.
As you know, your home was constructed two feet lower than the approved elevations. By
the home being constructed lower than planned, it did not allow filling of the rear yard to
alleviate the temporary flooding during heavy rainstorms. Your yard and the property
immediately to the north are very low and the natural drainage from the surrounding area
must flow through your properties to get to the storm sewer outlet on Weston Lane.
Over the past several years projects have been undertaken by the City to alleviate your
situation, although because of the elevation of the home the City has not been able to
economically justify a complete solution to this temporary flooding. The temporary flooding
occurs approximately every three to five years and lasts only a few days. The last project
undertaken by the City was to increase the outflow capacity of the storm sewer system in
order that the water elevations would not reach a level where water would enter your home.
Projects undertaken by the City are as follows:
1. When Vicksburg Lane was widened from the lanes to its current four lane
configuration, a separate storm sewer system was constructed with the
roadway. Previous to the widening of the roadway there was a storm sewer
which emptied into your rear yard. This storm sewer then flowed in a ditch
diagonally across the property to the culvert on Weston Lane. With the
Vicksburg Lane project, a storm sewer system was installed to convey the
water from Vicksburg Lane in a storm sewer pipe all the way to the culvert
on Weston Lane. This eliminated the diagonal ditch across the rear yard.
PLYMOUTH .1 Beau tilul ,lYace ID Live FEULING.DOC

2. The southwest area of the Parkers Lake North Development on the east side
of Vicksburg Lane drains through your property. With this development,
the City required a storm water holding pond to be constructed at the
northeast comer of Vicksburg Lane and County Road 6. This holding pond
has a restricted outlet and the outflow from the pond is no greater than �I iat
from before development conditions.
3. When the County and City improve County Road 6 to a four lane roadway,
a complete storm sewer system was constructed for the roadway drainage.
This storm sewer system discharges to the pond southerly and downstream
of your property and Weston Lane.
4. The last project was in the fall of 1992 and Spring of 1993. This project
was undertaken by the City after you and your neighbor brought this matter
to the City's attention. I am attaching a copy of a letter which you received
dated April 22, 1992 explaining what improvements would be undertaken.
The improvements which were constructed were to increase the downstream
capacity in order that water could flow from your rear yards at a faster rate.
That letter referred to a report prepared by the City which you received.
The report considered seven alternate projects. These projects varied from
an alternate of "do nothing" to an alternate which would install a storm
water pumping station at a cost of approximately $300,000. The alternate
which was constructed by the City had a cost of approximately $70,000.
Any improvements undertaken by the City must be approved by the Minnehaha Creek
Watershed District. This agency has control over all drainage in Plymouth which flows into
Lake Minnetonka. Your area flows into Gleason Lake and then into Lake Minnetonka. The
last project undertaken by the City had to be modified several times to meet the requirements
of the Watershed District. They will not permit a project to create additional problems
downstream.
As I mentioned earlier, the flooding of your rear yard only happens after very heavy rain
storms which have been occurring every three to five years. On these occasions the City has
set up a temporary pump to lower the water level more rapidly in the yards. Yours and the
adjacent yard are the natural low area.
The City does not have any proposed projects within this area. The project which was
completed in 1993 was considered by the City as the project which would have the most
benefit for the amount of public expenditure. The City will continue to do pumping after a
heavy rain storm.

CITY OF
PLYMOUTR
SUBJECT: REAR ''YARD D:4 i' NAGE
Dear Mrs. Blommel:
The City is aware of your concern and the drainage issue in your rear yard and will work with
the property owners towards a solution this fall. The intent is to be able to have it
implemented in the Spring. As you stated in your letter, the City has undertaken work on this
rear yard drainage system in 1994 and also on two occasions this past May and June.
You are aware of the history of this drainage system. It was installed by the developer,
Laukka and Associates, to provide foundation drainage for a home on the north side of 44th
Avenue. Although the original intent was to provide drainage for the foundation of this home,
the system has been expanded and added to by properties to your south. When functioning
properly, this drainage system is providing rear yard drainage of all of the properties between
44th Avenue and County Road 9.
One solution to the problem would be to block the drainage from north of 44th Avenue and
require that property owner to install a sump pump for their foundation drainage. If this is
done, I believe it would not correct the problems in the rear yard because of the drainage of
the area. All of the homes drain to the rear yard and then southerly to the constructed outlet
by County Road 9. The solution to the problem is to have an adequate drainage system which
is the responsibility of each property owner as it crosses their yard.
The Engineering Division will assign one of our Civil Engineering Student Interns to work
with the property owners to arrive at a consensus and a solution to the problem. With
everybody working. together, I believe we can have a solution and the problem corrected
before next Spring. You and your neighbors can expect to be contacted by the City within the
next two weeks.

Your letter of September 19 has been forwarded to me for review and comment. For a
number of reasons, it was in the City's best interest to negotiate the acquisition of the other
three parcels prior to actively negotiating on parcel number 4 in southeast Plymouth. Two of
these reasons were that these parcels were appraised at quite a high value, and secondly, each
of these parcels was under single ownership, thus making it easier to negotiate. The southeast
site on County Road 73 is owned by three different individuals, one of which lives in Boca
Raton, Florida. Finally, we needed to manage our budget and understand the overall funds
that are available for the total acquisition of all open space property.
On Tuesday, September 19, the Council gave final approval to the third acquisition. Thus, we
now are able to turn our attention to the three properties located along County Road 73 in
southeast Plymouth. Within the next ten days, City Attorney, Gary Fuchs, will be making a
written offer to Mr. Sieber with regard to your parcel.
Because City Attorney Fuchs and I both have some concern with Mr. Sieber's ability to
accurately convey the essence of our discussions, I will attempt to outline the basics for you in
this letter.
The City is actively involved in the pursuit of acquiring the approximate 13 + acres of wetland
on your property. To this end, we engaged Peterson Environmental to do a wetland
delineation on the parcel (see attached map), so that we could establish the wetland boundaries
and wetland buffer in accordance with the City's latest policies. The approximate six acres,
which was previously filled with concrete rubble and debris by Johnson Brothers and covered
with dirt, is not a primary interest to us at this time. We are concerned that the City not
acquire a parcel that someday may cause us environmental concerns. However, we understand
it is your desire at this time to not sell the six acres to a developer, but rather market the entire
parcel. To this end, I have instructed our attorney to try and negotiate a reasonable package
deal that will fit within the City's budget and meet our overall objectives. Mr. Sieber can
expect a written offer from Mr. Fuchs within the next seven to ten days. It is my sincere
desire that we can conclude these negotiations in a cooperative manner between Johnson
Brothers and the City of Plymouth.
We
Listen • We Solve • We Care
-3G
Joe, as I indicated to you at our very first meeting, the City of Plymouth did not wish to
interfere with any plans, you, the owner of the property, had at that time, and the same
premise is still true today.

Dear Joy 'Tierney, Mayor of Plymouth, and Plymouth City
Council, David Anderson, Tim Wold, Nicholas Granath, John
Edson, Chuck Lymangood and Carole Helliwell,
Thank you for improving and quieting our neighborhood by
building a. berm behind our homes a.nd filling in a problem
ditch. This successful project is ;he result of a responsive
and cost effective government solving a neighborhoods
problem. Children now play in our backyards.
Them were long standing, numerous and repeated neighborhood'
complaints stemming from the relocation of county road nines
after people purchased their homes. Our neighborhood will
remember that it was under your administration, Joy Tierney,
that our problem was addressed and that: Daniel Faulkner,
your city engineer, and Daniel Campbell and Dick PaulioL
found a cost effective way to get the job done.
The recent city water project required excavation and
re-Ia.rul!--;-- 1.)1.nt'Lu 1jury a water pipe from the new city wa.t.uc
well along a t--ath behind our homes to the water treatment
plant on Zachary Lane and county road nine.
At the neighborhoods unanimous request Daniel Faulkner,
city engineer; Daniel Campbell Sr. Eng Tech, Dick Pouliot
project coordinator, with the support of Fred Moore,
Director of Public Works and Dwight Johnson, City Manager,
(_A)tained dirt, transported and placed free by a private
cur, tractor, ( who was happy to reduce his trans port:ation,
coats to remove; his dirt),. This extra dirt was placed on
top of the water pipe trench leaving a traffic noise
reducing berm bra`w:en our homes and the south side of county
road nine just- east of Zachery Lane. A problem ditch was
earlier filled in along the north side of old county road
nine just east of Ximines Ln also as part of the waiver
project.
We also want to thank, Jim Delany, Hennepin Country
Department Of Trac, ,pOrt:ation for the dt:partmr nLs
,to the city, iri placement and design of the berm and permit
approval and Sandra Hillary for her letter supporting the
project and Lite rest of the Board of Heiinej>in County

CIN OF
PLYmOUTI-F
Thank you for your letter of September 19, 1995. I can understand and appreciate your
excitement regarding the possibility of swimming facilities in Plymouth. I am sure you
were especially excited after learning of the initial letter the City of Plymouth received from
the Independent School District 284 regarding their interest in exploring a possible joint
facility.
However, I must caution you that the Plymouth City Council has dedicated itself to
honoring proper procedure and process in entertaining expressions of interest from the
public. As you are aware, the City Council has established a "Youth Sports Facility
Subcommittee" to investigate and make recommendations to the full Council regarding the
needs for sports facilities within our boundaries. The proper venue for your expression of
interest is that Subcommittee. Consequently, I will be forwarding your letter to Dwight
Johnson, City Manager, and Eric Blank, Director of Parks and Recreation, as the two
senior staff members on the Subcommittee, as well as to the full City Council.
You may wish to contact Mr. Johnson, Mr. Blank, and/or Mayor Tierney directly in the
near future as I understand the subcommittee is to reconvene shortly.
Once again, I thank you for your expression of interest and enthusiasm. I trust you can
understand and appreciate our concern for proper procedure in addressing decisions. It may
well seem that local government takes more time than necessary to address a given issue,
but I firmly believe that proper procedure in large measure influences the final outcome.
Sincerely 4��ZA�i

The Board of Classic Lake Aquatics (CLA) is extremely excited about the possibility of
a cooperative public/private venture resulting in an aquatic facility which would indeed
promote the values of swimming for all people.
We understand that the Wayzata School -District has offered a portion of its school
construction referendum funds to the City of Plymouth for construction of a competitive
swimming pool which the senior high students in District 284 can use for training and
meets. We are hoping that this money will stimulate interest within the City Council and
perhaps encourage the City to release funds which will permit expansion of the
competitive pool to something which more citizens could enjoy.
CLA would like to participate in the project as well, and it is our belief that the three
groups mentioned above could jointly create and manage a quality aquatic facility
which everyone in Plymouth would be proud to use. Each of the three parties brings
talents and assets to the project, and together we believe the aquatic facility will
succeed.
Classic Lake Aquatics proposes the following:
• $500,000 over the next ten years which will subsidize potential operational
losses at the aquatic facility.
• Design and construction consultation.
• Short-term and long-term solicitation of donations to the facility.
• To oversee the management of the operations and programming of the
aquatic facility.
• Retain the right to name the aquatic facility in lieu of possible large
contributions.

We are excited about an opportunity to work jointly with Wayzata Schools, the
Plymouth Park and Recreation Department, and the City of Plymouth Council. We
would like to schedule a preliminary planning meeting to openly discuss our offer, as
well as the offer of Wayzata School District 284. The meeting should include two
members of the City Council, two members from Wayzata Schools, Eric Blank and Don
Anderson from Park and Recreation, and several members from CLA. Representatives
from CLA will be calling these individuals within the next week to schedule a time and
location.
We want to extend our thanks for moving forward on : project we havo been working
on for the past two years, and especially for an opportunity to work jointly with you. We
look forward to some exciting discussion and the beginning of an ongoing cooperative
relationship. We believe this relationship will promote the benefits of swimming for
Plymouth residents and surrounding areas while meeting the needs of all interested
parties.

MIGHTY DUCKS ICE ARENA GRANT APPLICATION
WHEREAS, The School Board of Inde,,:?ndent School District 284 is avv ire of the
significant interest locally and in surrounding communities regarding ice hockey

3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD, PLYMOUTH, MN 55447
DATE: September 27, 1995
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Dwight D. Johnson, City Manager
SUBJECT: 1996 Budget Consideration
As you know, we have held two study sessions on the proposed 1996 budget and tax
levy, and we have adopted a preliminary budget and tax levy on September 12, 1995 as
required by law. In addition, I have met or talked with a number of Council members
individually about specific budget questions or concerns.
I have also recently notified you by voice mail that our tax capacity value in the City
has been increased by the County following their computations of Tax Increment
District values in the City. The projected tax levy for the City is now 14.92, down
from our previous estimate of 15.05. The tax levy for 1995 is 15.84. This means the
property tax levy rate is dropping by 5.8% instead of 5.0%. We will be computing
the effect on the typical residential and business properties prior to the Truth in
Taxation budget hearing in late November. However, it seems safe to say that over
half of the City's small tax increase on the average home will be eliminated and the tax
reduction on the average business will be even greater.
I do not have any more pending questions or concerns from any Council member at this
time. Accordingly, no more meetings on the 1996 budget have been scheduled before
the official public hearing. If this is not the case, or if new questions or concerns come
to your attention, please let me know so we can respond and schedule an additional
meeting if necessary. Thank you.
