PRAC Minutes/October 1995
Page 34 Z • �, a
needs in Plymouth. The Council has since referred this to the Park Commission
and Youth Sports Committee.
5. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
a. Private swimming 12ool u ate/Wayzata School District pool study referred from
Council. This issue has been referred to the Youth Sports Task Force, staff and
the Park and Recreation Advisory Commission. Mayor Tierney has also sent a
letter to the School District acknowledging that the City is interested in studying
the issue of a jointly operated swimming facility.
b. West Medicine Lake Park update. Bids will be opened on October 13 for phase
1, which includes the road project and two parking lots. All permits are now in,
and the City did recently approve the off-site wetland mitigation.
c. Qpen spaces update. The parcel located in southwest Plymouth has been split
into two pieces, as a tax break for the owner; the northwest site near the high
school was closed on October 11, and the Mission property site near French
Park is being paid off at $25,000 per year for four years. Negotiations are still in
progress on the southeast site near the intersection of County Road 73 and I-394.
An offer has been made but not accepted at this time.
d. Playfield/high school update. The final cost estimate is being worked on.
Musco Lighting has made a cost estimate on lighting the fields, etc. The Girls
Softball Association had requested a 200 foot permanent fence, but they have
now conceded to portable fencing. Grading of the NURP pond has begun and
from there, grading will begin on the playfield portion. The City discovered that
the owners of Elm Creek Golf Course have been encroaching on this property
for some time and using it as a dumping grounds. They've also been taking dirt
from the site. They've been given until October 13 to restore the site to its
original condition.
e. Study of youth sports facilities --review report. Director Blank explained that the
report will be mailed to all the athletic associations that serve Plymouth youth, as
well as to other groups and agencies that appeared before the task force and
made presentations. They will be asked to make comments on the report and to
attend a meeting on Monday, October 23, to further discuss the report. After
additional fine tuning, the report will be back on the November 9 PRAC agenda
for a recommendation to the City Council. Director Blank explained the nine
major issues identified by the task force in the report: the projected growth of
all youth activities as the City continues to grow; the extreme shortage of indoor
ice time for ice hockey and figure skating; the continued demand for indoor gym
PRAC Minutes/October 1995
Page 35
space for youth basketball, soccer and adult volleyball and basketball; lack of
adequate facilities for girls' fast pitch softball; a large demand for fields to
accommodate children beteween the ages of 5 and 11; lack of available pool time
for competitive swimming at the club and high school level; the growth of
indoor soccer; developing fair and equitable fee schedules for the use of City
facilities; developing appropriate maintenance of school district facilities such as
baseball and softball fields. There was some discussion then about the proposed
field house at the new high school and why that particular location? Director
Blank explained that it was because of the available space and ample parking.
He also stated that the cost would be shared by the School District and the City.
The field house could be used for things such as indoor soccer, track, golf,
archery, flea markets, etc. Commissioner Bildsoe asked Director Blank if the
City's plan is to have its available fields used to the maximum, with more
demand than supply, or the other way around? Director Blank responded that he
believes it is important to have a reserve available to meet future needs, or for
growth in other areas. Commissioner Wahl asked about available land at the
workhouse site and if any plans had been discussed with the County regarding a
golf course there. Director Blank said the City did get into a cooperative
program with the County this past summer on community gardens and that we
may consider a jointly run greenhouse/nursery next year. There is also a
possibility that a driving range could be built on workhouse property sometime
in the future. Commissioner Fiemann asked why the issue of golf was not
addressed in the sports facilities report? Director Blank said that golf would be
addressed in the future, but that right now, staff needed to concentrate on the
youth sports facilities as directed by the Council. Director Blank indicated that
the youth sports task force wants a consultant to verify the costs for building the
facilities that are outlined in the report to make sure they are accurate. In order
to accomplish this, a recommendation to the Council would be necessary.
A MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER FIEMANN AND
SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER BILDSOE RECOMMENDING THAT
THE CITY COUNCIL HIRE A CONSULTANT TO DO COST ESTIMATES
ON THE FACILITIES PROPOSED IN THE YOUTH SPORTS FACILITIES
REPORT. THE MOTION CARRIED WITH ALL AYES.
Commissioner Priebe suggested that a statement be added to the report saying
that certain facilities, such as golf, have not been included in the report.
Director Blank said that he would mention this to the task force but that it might
be more appropriate for PRAC to add it when they make their recommendation
in November.
PRAC Minutes/October 1995

f. 1996-2000 CIP update. Director Blank explained that he had no new
information on the CIP at this time.
6. NEW BUSINESS
a. Senior citizen needs analysis. Director Blank explained that representatives from
the Plymouth Seniors Club made a presentation to the City Council recently
asking that the City begin looking into the needs of Plymouth seniors. The
Council appointed the Mayor and Councilmembers Wold and Lymangood to
serve on a subcommittee to study this issue. Director Blank asked if any PRAC
members would be willing to serve on this subcommittee, too. Commissioners
Anderson and Priebe offered their services.
7. COMMISSION PRESENTATION
A request was made by Commissioner Priebe to notify commissioners whenever
there is a meeting at the City Center that might be of interest to them, or where
their presence might be helpful.
8. STAFF COMMUNICATION
Director Blank announced that the City received a $40,000 grant from the Outdoor
Recreation Grant Program to be used on the West Medicine Lake Park project. He
also stated that the trails approved for construction this year are now under
construction. He explained that the in-line hockey rink surface has been painted a
tan color, so that it will be more reflective, which will help when it comes time to
flood it for the ice hockey season.
9. ADJOURNMENT
The meeting adjourned at 8:52 p.m.

SUBJECT: FACILITY TOUR
We have tentatively scheduled a facility tour for the Park Commission on Saturday, November
18, from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. On the tour, we will visit ice arenas, swimming pools and
senior centers, etc. I believe it is imperative that as many members of the Council and Youth
Sports Task Force as possible also accompany the Park Commission on this tour. I would
appreciate it if you could call my secretary, Nancy, at 509-5210, and let her know if you
would be available on this date.

RE: Petroleum Tank Release Site File Closure
Site: U.S. West Business Resources, 2800 Wayzata Boulevard, Minneapolis
Site ID#: LEAK00007735
Dear Mr. Swanson:
We are pleased to let you know that the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) Tanks and
Emergency Response Section (TERS) staff has determined that your investigation and/or cleanup
has adequately addressed the petroleum tank release at the site listed above. Based on the
information provided, the TERS staff has closed the release site file.
Closure of the file means that the TERS staff does not require any additional investigation and/or
cleanup work at this time or in the foreseeable future. Please be aware that file closure does not
necessarily mean that all petroleum contamination has been removed from this site. However,
the TERS staff has concluded that any remaining contamination, if present, does not appear to
pose a threat to public health or the environment.
The MPCA reserves the right to reopen this file and to require additional investigation and/or
cleanup work if new information or changing regulatory requirements make additional work
necessary. If you or other parties discover additional contamination (either petroleum or
nonpetroleum) that was not previously reported to the MPCA, Minnesota law requires that the
MPCA be immediately notified.
You should understand that this letter does not release any party from liability for the petroleum
contamination under Minn. Stat.' ch. I I 5 (1994) or any other applicable state or federal law. In
addition, this letter does not release any party from liability for nonpetroleum contamination, if
present, under Minn. Stat. ch. 115B (1994), the Minnesota Superfund Law.
Because you performed the requested work, the state may reimburse you for a major portion of
your costs. The Petroleum Tank Release Cleanup Act establishes a fund which may provide
partial reimbursement for petroleum tank release cleanup costs. This fund is administered by the.
Department of Commerce Petro Board. Specific eligibility rules are available from the Petro
Board at 612/297-1119 or 612/297-4203.

Mr. Doug Swanson

November -1, 1995
If future development of this property or the surrounding area is planned, it should be assumed
that petroleum contamination may still be present. If petroleum contamination is encountered
during future development work, the MPCA staff should be notified immediately.
For specific information regarding petroleum contamination that may remain at this leak site,
please call the TERS File Request Program at 612/297-8499. The "Leak/Spill and Underground
Storage Tank File Request Form" (TERS Fact Sheet #36) must be completed prior to arranging a
time for file review.
Thank you for your response to this petroleum tank release and for your cooperation with the
MPCA to protect public health and the environment. If you have any questions regarding this
letter, please call me at 612/297-8589.

SUBJECT: PATRICIA EARL RESIGNATION
I received a phone call today from Patricia Earl who was appointed earlier this year to
represent the City on the Suburban Alliance Board. She asked that I relay her decision
to resign from the Suburban Alliance effective November 1. Ms. Earl thanked the
Mayor and City Council for the honor of representing the City and stated that she had
attended several interesting meetings. However, she is unable to continue service due
to personal reasons.
Staff will prepare a Certificate of Appreciation to be signed by Mayor Tierney and
forwarded to Ms. Earl.
Since board and commission appointments will be considered by the City Council in
January, I assume that this position will remain vacant until that time. Steve Mumma's
appointment to the Suburban Alliance Board continues through January 31, 1996, so
the City will still have representation on that Board.

Dear Mayor Tierney:
I am a resident of Imperial Hills and, I bOlieve, � � bor of yours. I am writing to
inform you of, and ask your support for, the work that Charlene Austin, Karen Jaeger,
and I have been doing to get stop signs installed at the corner of 19th Ave No and
Peony Lane.
As you are probably aware, the speed of traffic on Peony Lane and 19th Ave No has
been a well documented problem for many years. There are no sidewalks on 19th Ave
No, the road has several sharp curves, it is well used for biking and walking, and there
is an access to the neighborhood park that connects with 19th Ave. There have been
several serious accidents on this street in the three years I have lived here.
I have discussed the problem of speeding traffic with Dan Faulkner, City Engineer. He
sent me a copy of a study of this street done in 1989, and some information on the use
of stop signs. Since he did not support the use of stop signs at this intersection,
Charlene, Karen, and I have obtained the required signatures on a petition as outlined
in the city policy, resolution number 90-583. Our neighbors readily supported the
petition; some wondered why it had taken so long or why a petition was even
necessary. I am including a map showing the homes that signed the petition.
Basically, there are no other tools at hand to help control the speed of cars on this
street. We know that the problem will not be completely solved by another set of stop
signs, but it is one step that can be taken to help. I am also going to try to work with
the Imperial Hills Homeowners Association to help educate the neighborhood about the
problem.
Your support in this matter will be greatly appreciated. Please feel free to contact me if
you have any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
V

City Engineer, City of Plymouth
3400 Plymouth Blvd
Plymouth, MN 55447
Dear Mr. Faulkner:
10/23/95
It was good to talk with you again today. As I informed you when I spoke with you, we
have now collected 34 signatures on a petition to install all way stop signs at the comer
of Peony Lane and 19th Ave No. This should put us a few signatures over the
necessary 70%.
In general, there was enthusiastic support for the idea among the neighborhood; only
two of the 36 people we found home refused.to sign the petition. People are tired of
drivers that do not observe the speed limit or slow down when they approach
pedestrians or bicyclists. Many neighbors also feel that it is just a matter of time before
someone is injured or killed. I think people do not expect the problem to go away after
stop signs are installed, but they feel it is one step we can take that will have a positive
effect.
I am in the process of contacting the Imperial Hills Homeowners Association to see
about discussing the speeding problem at the annual meeting in February.
Enclosed is the signed petition and a map showing those who have signed. You stated
on the phone that the next City Council meeting will likely be Nov 14. Please let me
know if this matter will be discussed at that meeting.
Again, thanks for your help and cooperation in this matter.
Sincerely,
Greg Engel

I am writing on behalf of Mission Partnership, which
consists of Northland Financial Co., Lundgren Bros. Construction,
Inc. and Richard Zejdlik. On September 27, 1995 Baton Corpo-
ration sent a letter to the City of Plymouth demanding compen-
sation for costs it incurred in an unsuccessful proposal in 1993
for a project in the Mission P.U.D. Although Richard Zejdlik is
a principal of Baton Corporation and a minority partner in
Mission Partnership, the two companies have different ownership,
objectives and management. Mission Partnership has always
enjoyed good working relations :with the City of Plymouth. It
does not join in Baton Corporation's claim and does not,want to
be involved in or adversely affected by Baton Corporation's
dispute with the City of Plymouth.

Dear Dave:
Just a follow up to our telephone conversation. As I mentioned, I'm looking to you
and Dan Nelson to make sure we cover all bases with regard to the new SEC reporting
requirements. While I don't believe there are any major changes from the way we are
doing business today, I would like to spend a few minutes talking about what changes
you may see.
Most of the reporting documents mentioned in the Official Statement are part of our
Annual Financial Report other than `Major Employers" and `Labor Force Data".
Unless you believe these additional documents are necessary, I'd prefer to delete them
from the listing of reports. Let's talk about these when you have some time.
' cerely,
Dale E. Hahn
Finance Director

DATE: November 2, 1995
TO: Chief Ger
FROM: Sara Cw
SUBJECT: Neighbor ood Concern
A resident of the block area of 6000 Kirkwood Lane called me early this morning to
notify our department of an upcoming news story that will be aired by Channel 11,
Thursday November, 2. The story's focus is on security issues surrounding electric
garage doors.
This resident's home had been randomly selected for their story. Channel 11 used a
garage door opener and attempted to open various garage doors throughout the metro
area with their opener. In garages, where residents did not program a private security
code on their opener, the likelihood of being able to compromise that garage door with
a random opener is greater. The resident wanted to know what information she and
her neighborhood watch captains should relay to their neighbors.
Approximately 150 residential burglaries occur annually in the City of Plymouth. I
shared with the resident that 54-60% of these burglaries involve no force. A door,
window, garage door etc. was left open. In the remaining 36-40% of our burglaries,
roughly 60 burglaries a year, it is believed that some type of force was involved and
the electric garage door was not a frequent target.
I discussed that the most common areas of Plymouth homes to be compromised are the
garage service door and sliding patio doors. This is due to the inadequacy of the
spring latch locking system of the service door and the give space left in the upper
track of the patio door after installation. I explained that in our community, burglary
is a crime of opportunity, homes typically offer uniform opportunity to burglars.
Either the home is unlocked, the garage door hasn't been reinforced or the patio door
has not been fully secured. Also, @97% of residential burglaries occur when no one is
home. Residents can decrease their likelihood further by making their home look
occupied. This can be done through the use of light timers, leaving TV sets/radios on,
and adding motion sensitive lights and photoelectric lights to the property.
I thanked the resident for calling and shared with her that we certainly support
providing residents with as much information as we can about securing their home, but
believe that what ever information or strategies that we do provide must be grounded in
what is the reality base of crime in the community. It is our responsibility to make
residents aware of the most frequent means of crime and we take this responsibility
seriously. As an example, I highlighted our monthly crime analysis report that we
provide to block leaders.
The resident was pleased that she called and was appreciative of being able to learn
more about residential burglary in our community. The neighborhood watch group
and I will be working to put together an article of fact on burglary activity in
Plymouth to be distributed to their neighbors.
