News Release
City of Plymouth
Plymouth Fire Department
For immediate Release Richard C. Kline, Fire Chief
June 21, 2007 763-509-5121
Plymouth Fire Department Reminds the Community to
"Play it Safe" with Fireworks.
Fire Chief Richard C. Kline reminds residents to follow common sense safety tips and
the Minnesota law if you plan to enjoy summer by setting off fireworks.
"Sparklers and firecrackers are extremely dangerous to kids. They burn at temperatures
hot enough to melt gold (1800 degrees Fahrenheit). You'd never encourage your
children to play with matches or lighters. Fireworks are no different," said Kline.
Plymouth Fire Department wants residents to make this a safe summer. "Keep
fireworks locked up and away from children. Teach kids to never play with fireworks
without your permission and supervision," said Kline. Minnesota law only permits
some fireworks - specifically those that are "non -explosive" and "non -aerial" (if it flies
or goes "bang" it is illegal). Examples of legal fireworks include sparklers, cones and
tubes that emit sparks and novelty items like snakes and party poppers.
The best way to enjoy fireworks is to visit public fireworks displays put on by
professionals who know how to safely handle fireworks. If you plan to use fireworks,
make sure they are legal in Minnesota and celebrate safely with the following safety
tips:
Never allow children to play with or ignite fireworks. Never give fireworks to
small children.
Supervise children around fireworks at all times
Only adults may light fireworks.
Never light fireworks indoors or near dry grass.
)01
Always have a bucket of water and/or a fire extinguisher nearby and be sure you
know how to properly operate the fire extinguisher.
Do not wear loose clothing while using fireworks.
Stand several feet away from lit fireworks. If a devise does not go off, do not
stand over it to investigate it. Put it out with water and dispose of it.
Always read the directions and warning labels on fireworks. If a devise is not
marked with the contents, direction and a warning label, do not light it.

6. PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. POPE ASSOCIATES, INC. (2007037)
Chair Holmes introduced the request by Pope Associates, Inc. for a planned unit
development amendment to combine two buildings into one with a 20,381 square foot
building addition for Productivity, Inc. for properties located at 15150 and 15200 25th
Avenue North.
Planner Doty gave an overview of the May 29, 2007 staff report.
Commissioner Weir asked if both properties are owned by the same owner. Planner Doty
said that question will be deferred to the applicant.
Commissioner Weir asked why it is necessary to get approval from Hennepin County in
order to combine the two lots into one. Planner Doty said that the City would not be able
to issue any building permits for the building addition if the lot line is not removed. Chair
Holmes said that the issue is that the County controls how the lots are divided or separated.
Planning Manager Senness said that consolidation of the two lots is not something the City
is involved in as it is under the County's jurisdiction. She said that the need to remove the
lot line is a building code issue.
Chair Holmes introduced the applicant, Kevin Timm, representing Productivity, Inc. Mr.
Timm said that they are working with the current owner and the partner who owns the east
building and consolidation should take place shortly.
Mr. Timm said that they need the outdoor storage. He said that in 1994, they were able to
get a conditional use permit for outdoor storage because of their business needs. He said
that they have large equipment products shipped in and some of the products need to be
uncrated and then repacked and sent out. He said they need temporary storage and they
have taken care of issues related to previous complaints on the property. He said they
recently hired a new staff member to keep the area cleaned up more diligently. He said that

the walking path has also been an issue in the past and the plants will take care of that
issue.
Chair Holmes introduced the applicant, Paul Holmes, representing architect Pope
Associates, Inc. Mr. Holmes said that on the materials and the exterior of the building, the
two buildings that are being linked have red brick and dark windows but they are different
in very significant ways. He said that they had looked at dark brick and dark windows but
were unable to find a solution to match one or the other. He said they abandoned the
approach and designed a link that is in contrast to the existing buildings on either side. He
said they created a quilt of three design ideas, side by side, rather than trying to unify the
ideas into one. He said that the green glass, the champagne colored window frames and the
buff colored masonry are important pieces to this design approach. He said they request
that the project be approved as designed rather than to incorporate red brick and dark glass.
Mr. Holmes said that on the landscape plan, the existing site has 102 trees. He said that if
they were building a new building of that size, they would be required to plant 83 trees. He
said they will be removing 42 trees in order to build the addition, leaving 60. He said the
tree replacement policy from the City requires that they replace the 42 trees that they are
eliminating and are required to plant 1 new tree for each 1,000 square foot of new building
area. He said that would be 63 new trees and an onsite total when done of 123 trees. He
said that there is not room to do it all well. He said they request to either conform to the
tree replacement policy and have 102 trees after construction or treat it as a bare site and be
required to provide 83 trees total.
Chair Holmes asked if they are proposing a change to their application. Mr. Holmes said
that they are requesting that it be passed on to City Council without the conditions that the
materials change and with a landscape requirement that would require one or the other of
the tree replacement or treating it as a bare site. He said that the landscape plan they
submitted was in response to staff requirements and they are appealing to the Planning
Commission and City Council because they don't think it is a good plan.
Planning Manager Senness said that as far as the issue of the trees, staff concurs they can
reduce the number. She said there is an issue with the need for screening on the north side
but staff feels comfortable that they can come up with something to go to City Council
without having to come back to the Planning Commission. She said that Mr. Timm is
correct, that there have been outdoor storage issues in the past and that the number of
complaints received about the outdoor storage is why there is this condition. She said that
if they have taken steps to correct or improve that, staff can review that condition. She said
that the materials have not been discussed with the applicant and that the City does have a
lot of discretion, especially on a PUD.
Commissioner Aamoth asked if staff had received the information about them hiring a
person to take care of the outside issues before their recommendation for no onsite storage.
Planner Doty said that staff was not aware of a new hire for that purpose. He said the
/6

conditional use permit for the outside storage was for the eastern property and this
application would ultimately result in consolidation of the two properties. He said that
with the building addition, the outdoor storage would go away unless it is considered to be
acceptable through this new PUD. amendment application. He said that the landscaping
plan shows a total of 123 trees and they are over planted by 40 trees. He said that the site is
a PUD, so there is flexibility in the number of trees that are required and there are
screening concerns on the north side of the property. He said that if the Planning
Commission wants to require what the City's Zoning Ordinance would require specifically,
a condition could be added that the number of trees be reduced by 40 trees.
Commissioner Jaffoni asked if 102 trees would work and if it addresses the concerns about
planting trees too close. Mr. Holmes said that 102 trees would work fine and it would
exceed the Zoning Ordinance by 19 trees.
Commissioner Jaffom commented on the issue of the appearance. She said the unified
appearance versus one that is not unified and is contrasting has already been taken up by
staff. Chair Holmes clarified that the applicant is saying something different from what
staff is saying as far as color and glass shades and that the applicant is saying they are not
comfortable with that.
Planning Manager Senness added that staff just found out that the applicant was not
pleased with the recommendation. She said that when something like this occurs, staff and
the applicant should meet and come to some agreement. She said that if they are able to
come to resolution of this issue and the application comes back to the next Planning
Commission meeting, it would get to the same City Council meeting as scheduled if it had
passed tonight.
Chair Holmes opened the public hearing.
MOTION by Commissioner Weir, seconded by Commissioner Jaffoni, to continue the
public hearing to the June 20, 2007 Planning Commission meeting. Roll Call Vote. 6
Ayes. MOTION approved unanimously.
B. GREENBERG FARROW (2007039)
Chair Holmes introduced the request by Greenberg Farrow for a site plan, conditional use
permits and variances for a new 1,477 square foot office building for Public Storage for
properties located at 13011 State Highway 55 and 2320 Xenium Lane North.
Planner Doty gave an overview of the May 29, 2007 staff report. He added that staff
recommends amending condition 6.a. in the resolution by removing "and shall not be
parked on that property overnight".

Commissioner Weir asked if traffic accessing the site via Xenium Lane North would not be
able to access the office building. Planner Doty said that is correct. Planning Manager
Senness added that it would be possible to park fairly close to the gated entry of the storage
site and walk to the office building.
Chair Holmes asked for clarification that if they entered the storage site from Highway 55,
that they could not come back out. Planner Doty said the critical point is the gate. He said
that if they are going to the office building and then to the storage area, they can't go back.
Commissioner Jaffoni said that the applicant agrees to park both rental trucks inside the
security gate and asked for clarification on staff's request to revise item 6.a. Planner Doty
said the last part of that drafted condition could create some confusion and staff felt it
would be clearer if it was left at that.
Chair Holmes introduced the applicant, Kim McGlothlin, representing Greenberg Farrow.
Ms. McGlothlin said the intent of the project is for them to improve the existing access.
She said that purchasing the adjacent property and having additional access enhances their
storage and access. She said they fully intend to comply with all the conditions, with the
exception of condition 5.d., where it says that plans for the roof of the new building is to
have a color consistent with the existing buildings and is to be painted to comply with the
existing color of the existing buildings. She said the color of the existing building is cream
rather than white, so they would like to request that revision. She said that they are also in
the process of changing the roof color from blue to orange because orange is their image
color and they would like to embrace that image. She asked that the condition require a
consistent roof color.
Planning Manager Senness said the intent was not to require the roofs to be blue. She said
staff realizes they are in the process of repainting and that the western building is already
orange. She said that language can be changed to be clear. Chair Holmes said the intent is
to be consistent and requested that "white" be removed from condition 5.3. in the
resolution.
Commissioner Jaffoni asked about the shields for the 30 -foot lightpole. Ms. McGlothlin
stated that was an oversight and they will comply with that.
Chair Holmes asked if signage falls in the office building classification. Planner Doty said
the signage will be reviewed based on the fact that it is an industrial property. He said
zoning is still industrial and they have requested the conditional use permit to allow it to be
above 50% office. He said the signage as proposed would include a monument sign. He
said they could also add wall signage at 10% of one wall of the building. Planning
Manager Senness added that signage on more than one side of the building would require a
variance.

Dear Mayor Slavik:
�F TRPrt
Construction season is upon us! As you are aware, the Minnesota Department of
Transportation is doing major reconstruction in the 1-35W Crosstown Commons

area. It is projected that this project will continue through 2010. As partof the
1-866-743-6590
Crosstown Communications Team, we want to make sure that you and your
Project website:
constituents are well informed of project happenings every step of the way.
www.mndot.gov
One of the best ways to stay informed of project activities over the next four years is
Project Email:
crosstown@rranow.com
to subscribe to the Crosstown Project Listserve. This listserve will provide you with
weekly e-mail updates on the project. You will be in the inside loop of all project
happenings — from road closures to detour routes.
Subscribing is easy:
AAIM6�4` 49. Go to www.mndot.gov and under construction projects click on "Get Project
A Joint venture Emails".
50. Enter your email address and click submit.
51. Enter information as requested. Make sure the box for 1-35W/Hwy 62
(Crosstown) updates is checked.
52. Click Submit
That's it! You will receive an email confirming that you have subscribed for
Crosstown project updates. Simply respond to the email, and you are all set to
receive updates. You can unsubscribe to the listserve at anytime.
If you do not wish to be notified of all project updates, we are also happy to notify
you for only larger road closures. Please contact us at the phone number listed
below if you are interested in just major road closings.
We understand that any type of construction can be taxing, let alone a project as
large as this one. It is our hope that we can make the next few years as easy as
possible for your city. If you have any questions regarding the project, or would like
to request specific information, please do not hesitate to contact us at 1-866-743-
6590.

Re: 2008 Operating Budget
Dear Clerks:

(via USPS and email)
At its June 13, 2007 regular meeting, the Elm Creek Watershed Management Commission approved a 2008 operating
budget of $349,615. Assessments to the member communities total $175,000.
In 2005, the Commission began the Elm Creek Channel Study -- the first project identified under its second generation
Watershed Management Plan. A preliminary draft report was approved at the Commission's June 13, 2007 meeting and
will be presented to the member communities in August. $20,000 has been budgeted to build reserve funds in anticipation
of additional studies or capital improvement projects that may be identified from the study.
Earlier this year, the Commission received a Surface Water Assessment Grant through the Clean Water Legacy Act from
the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. The grant, in the amount of $89,360, will allow the Commission to initiate
a program to monitor Elm, Rush, North Fork Rush and Diamond creeks and Cowley, Diamond, Fish, Henry, Rice and
Weaver lakes to assess the effectiveness of its second generation Watershed Management Plan rules and begin
development of strategies to complete a total maximum daily load (TMDL) analysis of the stream network in the
watershed. In-kind and cash matches for this grant total $88,310. Components of the CWLA grant are highlighted in
yellow on the enclosed sheets.
In addition, in 2008 $10,000 will be set aside in anticipation of the Commission's third generation Management Plan,
due in 2014.
Attached is a copy of the 2008 budget. Tab A shows the operating budget in an income statement -type format, Tab B
identifies revenue and expenses by project area, and Tab C outlines the assessments to the member communities.
Questions may be directed to your representative or my office.
Sincerely,.

SUBJECT: NOTICE OF VIOLATION (NOV)
MISSION FARMS LIFT STATION
Dear Mr. Klucas:
June 20, 2006
In response to your NOV, dated June 1, 2007, I have enclosed the Operation and Maintenance
(O & M) Plan for the Mission Farms Lift Station. All City maintained lift stations have a
similar manual, and all have been updated to reflect immediate notification of the Minnesota
Duty Officer in the event of an overflow. The O & M Plans are available in hard copy to all
employees and electronically (mobile) for on-call and lift station personnel.
Also attached for your information is a letter from the City's controls contractor detailing the
event in question and identifying a plan detailing how the City will ensure that aft
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) failure does not occur in the future. To date,
approximately one-half of the lift stations have been tested by City personnel and the controls
contractor has those test results and will schedule repairs accordingly.
If you have any questions or require any additional information, please feel free to call me at
763-509-5501.
Sincerely,
Doran Cote, P.E.
Director of Public Works

Re: City Of Plymouth Mission Farms Sanitary Lift Station
To Whom It May Concern:
Regarding the March 24t" 2007 Control Failure issue at Mission Farms Sanitary
Lift Station, the control failure was due to failure of the Uninterruptible Power
Supply. This UPS failure caused the primary controller to shutdown and
inhibited the pumps on the backup system. Backup pump controller run inhibit
function was bypassed on one pump from a previous service call; this allowed
the one pump to function in a backup capacity. The current telemetry alarms did
not monitor the pump control power or ups failure. The failure of the main
controller also disabled all other alarms. Therefore, no alarms were annunciated
at the master SCADA computer.
To correct the Uninterruptible Power Supply failure issue, a power steering relay
was added. This relay will attempt to utilize Utility power if the Uninterruptible
Power Supply fails. As far as the pump inhibit issue, all inhibits were bypassed
on the backup pump control system.
Our intention is to have city personnel test all alarms at all remote lift station
sites and produce a list of the results. Total Control will then make necessary
additions or corrections to the lift station hardware and software that are not
working, based on these tests. To our knowledge the previous Systems
Integrators never fully tested system alarms to verify their operation.

DATE: June 22, 2007
TO: Doran Cote, Public Works Director
FROM: Helen LaFave, Communications Manager
SUBJECT: PUBLIC EDUCATION REGARDING STREET SWEEPING
At a May study session, the City Council discussed street sweeping and public education
on the importance of keeping streets clean.
Since the study session, Environmental Education Coordinator Margie Vigoren, Street
Leadperson Chuck Autio and I met to discuss our past and future public education efforts
on this topic.
Past Education
Through our environmental education program, we have made a significant and ongoing
effort to convey the importance of keeping streets clear of leaves, grass clippings and
other debris. We have emphasized the connection between water quality and clean
streets. This has been one of the ongoing key messages of the City's environmental
communications for several years. In our public education, we have particularly
highlighted the important role that individuals play in keeping streets clean and protecting
water quality.
The attached inventory, which may not be inclusive of all efforts, shows the public
education that we have done to convey this message. In addition to the inventory, I have
attached a visual collage of some of those past efforts.
As you review these items, you will see that we have used many tools to convey this
information — citywide newsletters, events, adopt -a -storm drain/clean sweep volunteers,
fliers, neighborhood newsletters and paid advertisements.
Future Education
The connection between clean streets and water quality will continue to be one of our
ongoing key messages. As it has in the past, it will be woven into many different
communications. Margie, Chuck and I laid out plans for upcoming efforts in the near
future. This is also attached.

Grass clippings, heves, dirt and pet waste carry phosphorus through the
storm sewer into the lake, turning it green with algae. They also collect In
pipes and catch basins, dogging the storm sever system, which can cause localaed
flooding.
To protect Medicine lake
■ Rake or sweep leaves, dirt and grass clippings from your street, storm
drains, driveway and sidewalks. Compost leaves and grass inyour back
yard compost bin, bag them for collection by your trash hauler or bring to
the Plymouth yard waste site (details on back).
■ Pick up after your pet—both on and otf your property—and dispose of it
In the garbage.
■ Keep the street clean of other materials that contain phosphorus, such as
grass clippings, dirt and pet waste.
■ Use only phosphorus -free fertilizer if you f^"" r lawn and wait until

Dear Neighbor,
I would like to introduce you to an important project that
has begun in our area. It's a small project with o very big
goof—keep Medicine Lake clean and healthy,
It's a simple idea: we all work together to keep dirt, debris,
gross clippings and other pollutants out of Medicine Lake by
keeping them out of our street gutters. Many people don't
realize that our storm sewer system discharges directly
into Medicine Lake. That means that whatever is on our
streets and in our gutters finds its way to Medicine Lake.
Some of us are doing our part by sweeping the gutters on
our blocks, and keeping the storm sewer catch basins clean.
Here are some simple things that you can do to help:
1. Mow so that the grass clippings are discharged onto
your yard instead of your driveway or the street.
2. Be sure to clean up any fertilizer from hard surfaces.
3, Take a few minutes more when you're raking leaves this
fall to rake up the leaves that fall in the street.
4. Turn this card over for more ways that you can help
keep Medicine Lake clean.

Thank you for your help)

TO: Laurie Ahrens, City Manager
FROM: Eric J. Blank, Director, Parks and Recreation
SUBJECT: French Regional Park -Dog Park Update
Recently the City Council received a series of emails regarding the French Park dog park issue.
A resident, Dave Priebe, attended the forum prior to the June 12, 2007 City Council meeting to
request the council take further action on this issue. Council directed staff to prepare an
updated report on what has been going on with this issue.
Attached for council review is a series of documents that highlight past action on this topic. I
would specifically note a couple of issues that were raised by the emails. One is the status of
outlot A as shown on the attached graphics. Outlot A was included in the property deeded to
Three Rivers Park. This outlot was given to the City to be used as a trail connection for the
area residents living off of Goldenrod Lane and 38th Avenue. The City actually acquired a trail
easement from Goldenrod Lane to access into this corridor.
Paragraph three of the French Regional Park Cooperative Agreement states: The City and
Hennepin Parks acknowledge the desirability of construction on the subject property of a trail
connecting Goldenrod Lane and 38th Avenue with 36th Avenue North as the park entrance. If
the parties mutually agree on the construction of the trail, the trail will be built, operated and
maintained by the City. Hennepin Parks will give the City an easement for the trail,
satisfactory to the City. It was intended that there would be a trail connecting the residential
area down through this open space site to the 36th Avenue entrance. The option of building that
trail is still available to the City and could be negotiated at any time with Three Rivers.
The genesis of the idea to turn this property over to French Regional originated with area
residents. I have included some minutes from Three Rivers Park District meetings which show
area residents, including Council Member Lymangood, as early as 1992, discussing this issue
and requesting the park district acquire the property. However, the Park District declined at
that time to move forward with the acquisition of the property.
I would like to address item #5 of the Cooperative Agreement. I have reviewed this with the
City Attorney. This issue has to do with the re -purchase of land. I think some people are
mistaking that on January 1, 2010 the entire cooperative agreement is no longer in existence.
To be clear, the only thing that takes place on January 1, 2010 is on or before that date,
43
if the City Council denies a permit for which Three Rivers has applied the City must re-
purchase the site if they ask us to. The rest of the agreement continues on into perpetuity.
As staff has indicated to council in the past, there have been two issues between the City and
Three Rivers Park District. One is the drainage issue at Northwest Blvd. and County Road 9.
The other was the dog park at French Regional Park. Staff believes that before we can
adequately make headway on discussing the future of that parcel with the Park District, we
need to have a successful outcome with the drainage problem. At this time we are closer to
getting this project underway with agreement between the Park District and the City. I believe
that once the two parties have cooperatively worked together to solve this issue, we will be
ready to sit down and address the open space site
Staff continues to be in communication with the staff at Three Rivers Park District and we do
not believe any council action is needed at this time.

TO: Dwight Johnson, City Manager
FROM: Eric Blank, Director of Parks and Recreation
SUBJECT: OPEN SPACE PURCHASE AGREEMENT FOR MISSION PROPERTY
ADJACENT TO FRENCH REGIONAL PARK
DATE: August 8, 1995, for Council Meeting of August 15
1. ACTION REQUESTED: Council should move a resolution approving the attached
purchase agreement in the amount of $300,000 for the acquisition of the Mission property.
2. BACKGROUND: Since the successful passage of the bond referendum on May 23, the
City Attorney's office and I have been working to bring to closure the purchase of the four
open space sites. Previously, the City Council approved the purchase of the Hardenburg
parcel in southwest Plymouth at a cost of $843,350. The acquisition of the Olson parcel
for $615,000 is also being considered on the August 15 agenda. The Mission property is
located south of 41st Avenue immediately adjacent to French Regional Park. Listed below
are the key points of this acquisition.
A. The size of this parcel is 25.95 acres. The City's appraised value of the property is
$650,000.
B. The City will purchase 6/13's of the property for $300,000. Mission Partnership will
donate as a tax write off 7/13's of the property to the City.
C. By subsequent purchase agreement, the City will sell this property to Hennepin Parks
for $100,000. The net cost to the City will be $200,000. This cost is within the
parameters of the $2.2 million bonds sold for open space acquisition.
3. RECOMN IENDATION: I recommend the City Council approve the purchase agreement
as drafted by the City Attorney's office.

RESOLUTION NO. 95 -
APPROVING PURCHASE AGREEMENTS FOR MISSION PROPERTY
WHEREAS, the residents of Plymouth approved a $2.2 million referendum on May 23, 1995,
for the purchase of open space property, and
WHEREAS, the Mission Property has been identified as one of the four open space sites for
acquisition, and
WHEREAS, staff has negotiated a purchase price of $300,000 for the Mission parcel
consisting of 25.95 acres,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA, that the attached purchase agreement in the amount
of $300,000 is hereby approved and further, that the funding for this acquisition is to come
from the proceeds of the bonds sold in accordance with the open space referendum.
Adopted by the City Council on

Public Works Director Moore stated that when a pond is lined, no water seeps
from the pond into the ground below the liner. He described the methods for
installing a liner, but noted that this pond was not designed with a liner to avoid
seepage into the ground. It is a storm water drainage pond that was designed to
store 2 inches of rain and release it over a 24-hour period.
MOTION was made by Councilmember Lymangood, seconded by
Councilmember Anderson, to acknowledge the presentation made by Ms. Martin
and to await a specific proposal from Ms. Martin or the developer to alter the
water drainage in this area for Council consideration. He noted that this is private
property and, therefore, the property owner or developer should submit a
development proposal to the City. He is not comfortable with the City assuming
ongoing liability for a private property issue.
Councilmember Edson recalled that when the Council approve the Sugar Hills
development proposal there were certain lots where the City restricted
construction until County Road 9 was graded. He asked if those lots are part of
this issue. Public Works Director Moore stated no; those lots abutted County
Road 9.
Motion to table carried, four ayes; Helliwell nay.
ITEM 8-B (6-Y-2) OPEN SPACE ACQUISITION OF MISSION PROPERTY
ADJACENT TO FRENCH REGIONAL PARK
Councilmember Lymangood stated that one of the four open space sites approved
for acquisition in the May 23 bond referendum was the Mission Property which is
located south of 41st Avenue immediately adjacent to French Regional Park.
David Priebe, 3825 Forestview Lane, stated he lives near the property and
believes it is worth preserving as open space. He thanked the Council for their
support on the issue.
Councilmember Lymangood stated that the City is further benefiting from this
acquisition because there is a wetland area on the site which has the potential for
use as a storm drainage area. This would treat water running into Medicine Lake,
thereby improving water quality.
MOTION was made by Councilmember Lymangood, seconded by
Councilmember Wold, to adopt RESOLUTION 95-488 APPROVING
PURCHASE AGREEMENTS FOR MISSION PROPERTY.
Motion carried, five ayes.

NOW, THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION OF THE MUTUAL
COVENANTS HEREIN, and other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of
which is hereby acknowledged, the City and Hennepin Parks hereby agree as follows:
1. PURCHASE OF LAND. If the City acquires title to the subject property
on or before January 1, 1996, the City will convey the subject property to Hennepin
Parks by warranty deed in accordance with the purchase agreement attached hereto as
Exhibit "B" and Hennepin Parks will purchase the subject property in accordance with
the purchase agreement.
2. MAINIENANCE AND OPERATION OF STORMWATER DRAINAGE

in accordance with the purchase agreement attached hereto as Exhibit "B", the City
agrees to be responsible for the maintenance and operation of stormwater drainage
systems located on the subject property, including ponds and their inflow and outlet.
Hennepin Parks agrees to provide all easements to the City, at no cost to the City, over
the drainage systems. The City shall prepare the easement documents for execution by
Hennepin Parks. The City has the right to modify the existing drainage systems after
consultation with Hennepin Parks.
3. MANAGEMENT OF PROPERTY AND CONSTRUCTION OF TRAIL.
Hennepin Parks agrees to manage the subject property in compliance with its own policy
regarding Regional Parks and in accordance with the existing conditional use permit
granted by the City for French Regional Park. The City and Hennepin Parks acknowledge

easement for the trail, satisfactory to the City.
4. AMENDMENT TO EXISTING MASTER PLAN. After Hennepin Parks
acquires ownership of the subject property, Hennepin Parks agrees to submit as soon as
is practical to the City and the Metropolitan Council an amendment to the existing Master
Plan for French Regional Park. Such amendment shall incorporate the 26 -acre parcel into
the official park boundary.
5. REPURCHASE OF LAND. The City agrees that if, prior to January 1,
2010, Hennepin Parks submits development plans for the subject property to the City
which include land use that is typical of a regional park, but for which the City does not
issue approvals and for which City approval is required, the City will purchase fee title
to the property from Hennepin Parks in the same amount and in the same manner as
described in paragraph 1 above.
6. SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS. Except as further agreed by the parties, the
City agrees that upon transfer of title, the subject property will be free and clear of all
special assessments, during such time as the property is owned by Hennepin Parks and
used for park purposes, except for special assessments to abate nuisance conditions such
as obnoxious weeds.
i. OUTDOOR RECREATION. The City and Hennepin Parks agree that
each will endeavor to cooperate with the other in the provision of outdoor recreation at
French Regional Park.

INFORMATION AND DISCUSSION
Background:
Mr. Chuck Lymangood, 11780 40th Place North, requested to be placed on the agenda to discuss
with Board Members the acquisition of property located immediately east and contiguous to
French Regional Park. Past Hennepin Parks Commissioner Mona Moede also will be present
and would like to speak on this matter.
This initiative was previously discussed with the Budget and Finance Committee on March 15,
1990, and July 9, 1992 (information attached .

Regular Board Meeting - 4 - January 6, 1994
Chair Dombrowski requested the Committee Chairs who served in 1993 to continue to serve their
respective committees in 1994. This includes Commissioner Taubr as Chair of the Budget and
Finance Committee, Commissioner Carey as Chair of the Program and Policy Committee, and
Commissioner Corcoran as Chair of the Intergovernmental Committee for 1994.
COMMUNICATIONS
There were no communications.
REPORT OF OFFICERS
Chair
Chair Dombrowski had no report.
Commissioners
Commissioner Taubr said she had a phone call from Bob Donnelly, Save French Woodlands &
Wetlands, with regard to the Mission Ridge property located on the east side and adjacent to
French Regional Park. She said Mr. Donnelly had mentioned that this property should be
preserved and stressed the value of the area's natural resources. Mr. Donnelly indicated that he
wanted the Park District to fund acquisition costs for this land, since Hennepin Parks promotes
environmental stewardship of land.
Superintendent Bryant updated Board members stating that the City of Plymouth Council voted
to deny the development petition of Baton Corporation on this property. Therefore, it is the Park
District's understanding that this development proposal is dead issue. A new proposal by the
developer would have to go through the entire approval process. Bryant also stated that the City
of Plymouth denied a citizens request for an EAW on the property probably because the
development was denied. Bob Donnelly wanted Hennepin Parks to do an appraisal of the
property which would cost the Park District approximately $2,000 to $5,000. Bryant responded
that based upon Board direction he would recommend that the Park District pay for an appraisal
if the property owner intended to give the land to Hennepin Parks as a gift. The appraisal would
be used for tax purposes to determine the value of the gift. Otherwise, he added that there was
no need for an appraisal because Hennepin Parks' position to date was to not purchase the
property. Bryant stated that Hennepin Parks has already spent approximately $11 million for the
acquisition of French Regional Park property and, therefore, has limited funding for this property
and higher priority needs in other areas of the Park District. As a result, Bob Donnelly stated
that a citizens group will try to meet with the property owner to determine of the owner is
interested in giving the property to Hennepin Parks as a gift or consider a very low cost purchase
offer to the Park District. Bryant stated that this would be acceptable to Hennepin Parks and
stressed the need of a letter from the owner clearly indicating their intent.

Memorandum March 3, 1993
TO: Board of Commissioners
FROM: Doug Bryant, Superintendent ,
SUBJ: Thursday's Board Meeting - IMPORTANT ADDITION
Request from Residents of Mission Ridge/Mission Trails in Plymouth
A few years ago, a group of residents approached the Board about purchasing additional land
adjacent to French Regional Park. Our Board declined because we didn't have $500,000 to
$1,000,000 and this property was not included by design in the boundaries of the Regional Park.
The Board also recognized that the Park District does not have adequate funding to acquire all
the priority 1 parcels outlined in our Inholding Inventory and Acquisition Plan, much less
properties not included in the park system at any priority.
In October of 1992, this group approached the Board again (minutes attached) about this parcel
of property lying east of the existing French Regional Park. In response, the Board took the
following action:
"TO APPROVE SUPPORT FOR THE MISSION HILLS/MISSION RIDGE
HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION PLAN TO SECURE NECESSARY FUNDING FOR THE
PURCHASE OF PROPERTY LYING EAST OF FRENCH REGIONAL PARK, REFERRED
TO AS THE NORTH AND SOUTH PARCELS, THAT, UPON THE PROPERTY'S
ACQUISITION BY THE ASSOCIATION, HENNEPIN PARKS WILL REVISE TTS
EXISTING MASTER PLAN TO INCLUDE THESE PROPERTIES SO THAT THE LAND
CAN BE ACCEPTED AS A DONATION FROM THE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION
FOR INCLUSION INTO FRENCH REGIONAL PARK."
Past Commissioner Mona Moede volunteered to assist this group in raising the funds for the
purchase.
Yesterday, Jeff Brauchle faxed me information (attached) he received from David Priebe who is
one of the residents who want the Park District to own the land adjacent to French Regional
Park. Mr. Priebe informed Jeff that he and a group of other citizens were planning to attend
tomorrow's Board meeting to update Commissioners and hand out a variety of material.
Accordingly, I thought even though it's last minute, each of you should have an opportunity to
prepare for this group, if in fact they show up.
Staff believes that the Park District should maintain its neutral position in this matter between
the residents, the City, and the developer. Jeff Brauchle, Bob Wicklund, and I will be prepared
to address questions. Please call me if you have any questions.

REQUEST FOR ACTION

Department: Administration Originating Source: Robert M. Wicklund, Director
Agenda Item: Request from Residents of Mission Ridge/Mission Hills In Plymouth
Recommended Action:
INFORMATION AND DISCUSSION.
B ackground:
Discussions between staff and resident groups to the east of French Rregional Park indicate that
there may be neighborhood representatives at the April 15, 1993 Committee and/or Board
meeting(s).
The matter of concern to the residents is the proposed development by Baton Corporation of a
19 acre parcel of land that lies between the east boundary of French Regional Park and the
Mission Hills/Mission Ridge neighborhoods. The property is proposed to be developed as nine
twinhomes and 11 single family homes (29 total units). The plan has been approved: b)k:tia.
Planning Commission of the City of Plymouth and is pending City Council action, subject to dw .
outcome of an Environmental Assessment Worksheet (E.A.W.). The E.A.W. is carried out whew
the environmental implications do not warrant an Environmental Impact Statement (E.I.S) buv
there are concerns about impacts to wetlands or wooded areas, for example. The E.A.W. is mph
narrower in scope and depth than an E.I.S. Occasionally, if there are serious fid. it, sa-.
E.A.W., an E.I.S. might subsequently be commissioned.
This matter was first before the Board on March 15, 1990. Although no action was taken, the
comments of Board members clearly indicated that the matter was between the developer, the
City of Plymouth and the residents. The Board did not want to "elevate the hopes of the
homeowners that it (Hennepin Parks) will purchase the land."
At the July 9, 1992 Budget and Finance Committee, residents requested that the Board consider
purchasing the subject property. Chair Anderson replied that the parcel was outside the Master
Plan boundary of French Regional Park and that there were no monies for such an acquisition.
Anderson suggested the group look at acquiring the property through a fund raising effort.
At the October 8, 1992 Budget and Finance Committee, the resident group again made a
presentation to the Board. The gist of their presentation was that the resident group would raise
the funding to acquire the property and donate it to Hennepin Parks, if Hennepin Parks would
agree to accept the donation. The Committee adopted an action to accept such a donation and
the Board approved the action that same night. There again was Board comment to clarify that
this was a private fund raising and donation.

Attention: Douglas Bryant, Supt.
Subject: Property lying east of French Regional Park
Dear Mr. Bryant;
I am writing you as a representative of the residents of the
Mission Ridge and Mission 'frails area who are concerned about
the development proposal currently before the City of
Plymouth. The.development would consist of town homes of high
density which would remove the last untouched wooded area
lying between the residential area and the French Regional
Park.
We are concerned that the development would preclude the Park
Board from any future opportunity to add an additional area to
the Park that appears to be a natural extension to the park's
natural woodlands and grasslands.
The area of concern lies between Mission Ridge 2nd Addition
and Mission Trails on the easterly side and the French
Regional Park on the west. This area would include Outlot A of
Mission Ridge.
The area includes a steep grassy slope from the spawning pond
up a hill sloping upward to the east. Near the top of the hill
and along part of the slope the area is heavily wooded with
some areas of meadow grass, sumac and other ground foliage.
Residents of the area currently keep this property in its
natural state and use it for nature walks and to walk and ski
to and from the Park. It is well secluded and contains a large
area of what we believe to be one of the last remaining
heavily wooded and natural areas in this vicinity outside the
Park. There is a single unimproved trail that runs through the
area and ends at the Park's 36th Ave. pedestrian entrance.
Me
The area has a small pond on the upper level of the hili which
has a creek r, -,n that allows excess water to run into the
spawning pond and into the Park. That runoff runs down the
hill through woods and into the spawning pond and Park.
Development could cause soils to flow into the pond and Park
especially during construction as the development would take
place on and above the steep slope above the Park.
We often observe wildlife of many kinds in the area such as
deer, fox, raccoon, and the usual small rabbits and rodents.
The birds we see are numerous and of many kinds which include
horned owls, wood ducks, pileated woodpeckers, nuthatches,
cardinals, gold finches, pheasants and many others. This area
serves as a natural extension of the wooded areas of the Park
and much of the wildlife we see is wildlife that is attracted
to the Park.
Finally, the area in question provides a natural visual
barrier for Park visitors. The proposed development would not
only be clearly visible to Park visitors as they enter on the
main road and but also from the new nature center. The
development would also result in removal of much of the woods
and foliage so that homes not now visible from the Park would
be in clear view from the main Park road.
The area is currently owned by Mission Partners who purchased
it in the early 70's for purposes of development of the
Mission Ridge, Mission Trails and Mission Hills areas. The
developer proposing the new construction has not yet acquired
the property though he is one of the Mission Partners that
specializes in multifamily housing.
Enclosed is a map of the area in question and the proposed
development plan.
Needless to say we appreciate any consideration that may be
given our concerns. We request that this matter be placed on
the Board's March 1 agenda. We will have a spokes person
present. Please contact me in the meantime if you have any
questions.
Regards;

Dear Ms. Moede:
I am writing to you in order to clarify a letter Written by
Robert Donley on 2/15/90 which was addressed to Douglas Bryant.
Two items in particular were not discussed in said letter.
First, the members of the association and residents of the area
have not had an opportunity to address the content of Robert's
letter at one of our periodic meetings. I believe it was
therefore inappropriate to sprinkle the pronoun "we" as
liberally as Robert did in his letter. Simply put, Robert
cannot speak for all of us until all of us have had a chance to
come together to address the issue. I believe the fact that the
association has not had an opportunity to discuss this issue
should have been included in his letter.
Secondly, I believe there was a gross ommission in Robet's third
paragraph. That paragraph states in full: .
The area of concern lies between Mission Ridge
2nd Addition and Mission Trials on the easterly
side and the French Regional Park on the west.
This area would include Outlot A of Mission Ridge.
He ommitted a second parcel of land may also be available for
the Hennepin County Park Board's consideration. This parcel is
roughly bounded by Old County 9 on the north, Larch Lane on the
west, 41st Ave. on the south and some townhomes/apartments on
the east. The reason I believe it is important that you and Mr.
Bryant be made aware of this second parcel is because of the
primacy the association has repeatedly and consistently stated
at its various meetings that both parcels be considered together
and that no resolution of one parcel would be made without due
consideration of the other parcel. I believe you should have
been made aware of this second parcel as well as the gravity
of the association's perspective Which may best be summarized by
saying "we" are stronger united than divided.
7y
r would like to conclude on a personal note. So that this
letter is not misconstrued I want to express my personal
appreciation of Bob's tireless efforts over these last several
months.. Unless I am swayed otherwise I believe the above points
were merely acts of ommission rather than comission on his part.
I am delighted that you and your committee are giving
consideration to this issue. You have it in your power to open
up some exciting possibilities which, after due consideration by
all parties, have the potential of being the best resolution for
the association, the Park Board, the current owner(s) of the
parcels, the city, and the immediate environment in which we
live.
I hope to be able to deliver this letter to you in person at
your meeting on 3/1/90. If you or your committee members need
to contact me you may leave a message at 557-0839.
Sincerely,
Charles G. Lyma
