E. ? f. a Sharon Nichols joined H.O.M.E. in July as a homemaker. , She has worked for the past 26 years for Worry -Free Vacations but because of reduced hours, she decided to work fol- H.O.M.E. also. She Is a single mother of three children since ' 2000, and has live grandchildren and one great-grandchild. Sharon enjoys golfing, fishing, biking, reading, traveling, and 4 �ardeninC7 She has a lar(,e water (,arden in her backyard e" 5 a which she enjoys listening to while sitting on her deck. Sharon says: " I have always enjoyed cleaning. I think I got that from my mother. You could run a white glove over anything in her house and it would come out clean." Sharon had employed a service similar to H.O.M.E. when her parents were living, because she was working full-time and trying to keep up with her own family and house. Sharon hopes to be able to give.t good service to our seniors and perhaps make new friends too. Small Repairs Save H.O.M.E. Clients Cash Have you ever wondered who to call when you have a leaky faucet? It may only take a new washer to repair it, but you know that a plumber could be very expensive. H.O.M.E. can help! H.O.M.E. employs experienced handy - persons to do small repairs for seniors. They can repair faucets, toilets, change light bulbs in ceiling fixtures, install safety bars in bathrooms and other repairs that can be difficult for many people to do. Pictured here is Bernie Ballantyne re- pairing a light fixture for a client. When Bernie retired after 30 years at Pillsbury Con7pany, he wanted to keep busy on a part-time basis. He says, "Working for H.O.M.E. is a reward- il7g job because clients are so grateful for the help ]can give them." Bernie has been working for H.O.M.E. for seven Handyman Bernie Ballantyne years and lives with his wife, CLI1.01 in Bloomington. They have two married children and three delightful grandchildren. If you are a client in need of a repair, give the H.O.M.E. office a call. Service costs are based on a sliding contri- bution scale. Son7e repairs may be too large or require a licensed contractor. But fol- n7any small repairs, H.O.M.E. may be able to help save you some dollars. $$$$ ( 12 ) There's No Place Like H.O.M.E. Page 3 Ser%,ire is a CoollIll till it� lnsul•ae®eC•e. Lewder Gary Pasterik states, "The people at Western National Insurance, an Edina -based property and casualty insurance company, know the importance of supporting organiza- tions that benefit the communities in which they work and live. That's why Western Na- tional offers every employee one paid day each year to volunteer with a charitable organization. For the past three years, several Western National employees have chosen to spend this day raking leaves for the elderly clients of H.O.M.E." Many volunteers rake leaves or wash windows in the Spring or Fall for the clients of H.O.M.E. We are especially grateful for those volunteers that return year after year to make a difference in a senior citizen's life! Need A Little Help Airomid The House? Vicki Larson has been doing homemaking for H.O.M.E. clients for over 20 years. She's pictured with client Joyce Dahl. Vicki says, " Homemaking is a tough job, but it keeps me active and I enjoy the people I get to know." Vacuuming and scrubbing floors are just some of the homemaking tasks that older adults may have difficulty with, especially after hip or knee surgery. H.O.M.E. cli- LD ents generally receive two hours of service every other week. Homemakers can also help clients with laundry or grocery shopping in addition to regular cleaning. All paid workers at H.O.M.E. are thoroughly screened. H.O.M.E. also does a criminal background check before hiring workers. Unlike many for-profit cleaning companies, H.O.M.E. does not continuously send different homemakers each tinge a client has service. Homemakers are encouraged to perform excellent cleaning service as well as build relationships with their clients. If you are interested in having this service or have more questions, call us at 952 -888-5530. NOTICE.: Senior Community Services has done some restructurin�� recently and the I I.O.M.E. Program Director for the North Area, Jo Walter has left. Kitty Engle will be the Program Director for all areas of H.O.M.E. If you have any concerns or questions, you may leave a message for Kitty at 952-888-5.530. (13) There's No Place Like H.O.M.E. _ Thanks For Your Support!

CHANDLER MCCOY (2007062) Chair Holmes introduced the request by Chandler McCoy for a preliminary plat for "McCoy Estates" for two single-family lots for property located at 11210 Sunset Trail. Planner Doty gave an overview of the August 7, 2007 staff report. Commissioner Davis asked why the trees behind the existing home have to be removed. Plamler Doty advised that trees in close proximity to the new homes wouldn't survive because of the grading around the homes. He said the tree canopy is much larger than the tree circles on the plan and the silt fence boundary indicates the area of grading on the site. Chair Holmes noted there is a significant wetland north of the property and asked if there is a storm water easement on the northwest side of the property. Plamler Doty said there is no easement other than the 6 -foot drainage easement. Chair Holmes introduced the applicant, Chandler McCoy, 11210 Sunset Trail. Mr. McCoy said he is interested in keeping the property as nice as it now. He said that is why they want to build there. Cliair IIulrries opened and closed the public hearing as there was no our: presciit to speak on the item. MOTION by Weir, seconded by Jaffoni, to approve the request by Chandler McCoy for a preliminary plat for "McCoy Estates" for two single-family lots for property located at 11210 Sunset Trail. Roll Call Vote. 6 Ayes. MOTION appruved unanimously. 7. NEW BUSINESS A. LAKEWEST DEVELOPMENT (2007065) Chair Holmes introduced the request by LakeWest Development Co. for a pre -application sketch review of a potential subdivision for six single-family lots on Outlot A, Heritage Woods Estates 2" d Addition — located northeast of 57°i Avenue and Teakwood Lane. Senior Planner Drill gave an overview of the August 7, 2007 staff report. Senior Planner Drill said correspondence received from Craig Nordstrom, 13210 57`x' Avenue N. has been added as part of the public record. ( 22 ) Approved Planning Commission Minutes August 15, 2007 Page 3 Commissioner Jaffoni asked how much larger the rain garden needs to be and how that would impact the development. Senior Planner Drill said staff is unsure based on the infonnation provided on the sketch, but the requirement that the pond be a minimum depth of four feet together with side sloping requirements could result in a need for a pond that is roughly double the size of the rain garden/pond shown on the sketch. He said this could affect the lot layout and/or number of lots. Commissioner Jaffom asked how the property is currently used. Senior Planner Drill said the outlot is used for enjoyment by the homeowners of the Heritage Woods Estates 2nd Addition. He said there is a privately owned trail leading out to the middle portion of the outlot. Conunissioner Neset asked the reasoning to originally plat this as an outlot. Senior Plamier Drill said in 1988 when the PUD was originally developed, in exchange for lot sizes smaller than the required 18,500 (the lot sizes average about 13,800 square feet), the developer set aside the outlot as common open space. In 1996 when the City adopted the new Zoning Ordinance, the PUD was rescinded and the outlot lost its protection as open space. Commissioner Neset asked how that lot size equate to today's standards. Senior Planncr Drill said the current RSF-2 zoning of the subdivision establishes a minimum lot size of 12,500 square feet, which is roughly 1/3 of an acre. Commissioner Davis said there is a section in the northwest comer of the subdivision that is already developed similar to the arrangement on the sketch plan. He asked how those lots and the road compare to the lots and road on the plan. Senior Planner Drill said that cul-de-sac contains seven lots within a similar land area that was platted as an original part of the subdivision. Planning Manager Senness added that one difference is the orientation of the lots, because the sketch shows new homes directly behind existing homes. Chair Holmes said Northwest Boulevard is a fast street and asked if there is any thought to put in a third access from Northwest Boulevard. City Engineer Moberg said Northwest Boulevard is under the jurisdiction of Hennepin County, and granting an additional access would fall on the County. He said it is highly unlikely they would support any additional access in this corridor. ( 23 ) Approved Planning Commission Minutes August 15, 2007 Page 4 Chair Holmes noted the curve of the cul-de-sac results in smaller lots on the western side of the outlot. He suggested that straightening the cul-de sac could provide more room for the required ponding. Chair Holmes introduced the developer Curt Fretham, 15400 Hwy 7, Minnetonka. He said the sketch has been presented to get direction from the Planning Commissioners. Chair Holmes opened the item for public comment. Chair Holmes introduced Thomas Switzer, 13200 57`x' Avenue N. Mr. Switzer said he built his home in 1993 after meeting with the builder and a City Planner and was told the outlot was not developable. He said he was a member of the Heritage Woods Second Addition Homeowners Association which received $25,000 from the developer per a resolution to not have planned sidewalks installed within the subdivision. This money was used to buy sod and trees, construct the trail, purchase insurance and maintain the outlot. Mr. Switzer said when the $25,000 was depleted in 2004 there was difficulty in collecting annual association dues of $30 and there were many meetings to discuss the future of the outlot. Mr. Switzer said he is in favor of dissolving the association in a way that can benefit everyone, without developing the outlot. Mr. Switzer said property values go down when you lose an open space. Mr. Switzer said there will be construction traffic and debris, and his property would become a corner lot leading to a cul-de-sac. He asked about the zotung regarding the road leading to the cul-de-sac which would have a decreased width to make the development work. Mr. Switzer said the wildlife habitat would be disturbed dad dccrcased. IIe said the outlot is used by Ghildiwi fur soccer aiid sledding, and pct owners. Mr. Switzer said the trees planted are now starting to look healthy and there is no other open area in the neighborhood. He said the pond would pose a hazard for children and would be a mosquito breeding ground. Mr. Switzer said there would be increased cost to the City for street lighting and other maintenance. Chair Holmes introduced Charles Breitsprecher, 5630 Teakwood Lane N. Mr. Breitsprecher said in 1991 he designed and moved into his home which they chose because of the open space. Mr. Breitsprecher asked why they weren't advised of the 1996 change regarding outlots. He said he would reject the transfer of ownership of the small outlot that would be created next to the new street. Mr. Breitsprecher said if Outlot A is developed, his lot would become a conger lot which they never wanted. He said the traffic, irritation from noise and working machines, and several years of house construction would destroy the peace and quiet. He said the homeowner's association is all about money. Mr. Breitsprecher said the majority of owners are not affected by the proposed development and they want to end the $30 dues and get a windfall of money from the sale of the outlot. Mr. Breitsprecher said the solution is simple; keep and hold the homeowner's association accountable for maintenance and improvements. He said the addition of sewer and water and a storm quality pond could be sufficient to deny development. (24) Approved Planning Commission Minutes August 15, 2007 Page 5 Chair Holmes introduced Karen Sesbeau, 13215 57th Avenue N. Ms. Sesbeau said she lives close to the open space. She said the development would seriously negatively affect the feel of the neighborhood. She said she is worried about increased traffic and activity and said there are less drastic alternatives to explore and continue to keep the open space. Chair Holmes introduced Darin Bartsch, 13205 57th Avenue N. Mr. Bartsch said he purchased his home because of the proximity to the open space across the street. Mr. Bartsch said any development on that property would decrease the value of his property, whether monetarily or personally. He echoed all previously cited concerns around construction traffic and additional traffic on the very busy Northwest Boulevard. Mr. Bartsch said it is a difficult intersection now during rush hour. He said he has a one-year old and he is concerned about construction traffic for 6 lots. Chair Holmes introduced Tom Van Hatten, 5635 Sycamore Lane N. Mr. Van Hatten said he lives across Northwest Boulevard from the site and bought for the view of not looking at a large number of homes. He said he is concerned about the setbacks of proposed development being so close to Northwest Boulevard and said people would probably put up a fence as they are so close. Mr. Van Hatten said he is concerned about congestion on Northwest Boulevard which has become an alternate to I-494. He said it is difficult in rush hour to take a left southbound on Northwest Boulevard and traffic control is needed at that intersection. Mr. Van Hatten said the open space which has wild life is better served as park land as the only park is Bass Lake Playfield. Mr. Van Hatten said this outlot would be better suited to fewer houses. Chair Holmes intruducud Cindy Dawson, 13320 56th Avenue North, Prosidwit of IIuritage Woods Estates Second Addition Homeowner's Association. Ms. Dawson said she is legally authorized to sell the outlot. She said they have entered into an agreement with the developer contingent upon City approval. Ms. Dawson said the vast majority of the 61 homeowners have voted to sell. She said they considered various options and found the uutlot is a great liability with insurance and inaiiituiiance. Ms. Dawson said the Homeowner's Association has voted to sell to a developer of single family homes and said she asked the Planning Commission to favorably review the sketch. Ms. Dawson said the Heritage Woods Estates Second Addition Homeowner's Association attorney is Kristin Sankovitz. Chair Holmes introduced Steve Rogers, 13105 56th Avenue North. Mr. Rogers said he lives on the corner of 56th Avenue and Northwest Boulevard, which is the entrance into the subdivision. He said if anybody is affected by traffic it is him. Mr. Rogers said he was not excited about owning the outlot because of fees and difficulty in selling when there is an association. He said he has a one-year old child and it would be nice to have a playground there. However, in today's society and liability in a "sue happy" world, the association would be liable. Mr. Rogers said there are insurance costs. He said he understands the worry about a corner lot but has not seen any significant loss of value in his property and he has more traffic than anybody else. Mr. Rogers said the City bases values on the home (25) Approved Planning Commission Minutes August 15, 2007 Page 6 and lot, not the view. He said it is unfortunate that this situation has caused a huge amount of unrest in a fairly tranquil community. Mr. Rogers said he appreciates the concerns of the homeowners directly affected, however the property has been deemed to be sold by the resolution passed by the,homeowner's association. He said they just want to be done with the association dues, upkeep, and liability and asked the City to allow development of the outlot. Chair Holmes introduced Carol Richardson, 13200 56`h Avenue N. Ms. Richardson said the association decided to remove the playground in 2000 after kids from the nearby townhomes were playing on it and there were liability concerns. She said the outlot has mice along with other wildlife. Ms. Richardson said kids shoot firecrackers in the outlot. She said it is difficult to collect the $30 dues and the association can't pay the insurance. Ms. Richardson said she hopes the Planning Commission will vote in favor of the sketch. Chair Holmes introduced Tom Buchanan, 13305 57`h Avenue N. Mr. Buchanan said the outlot has been a burden. He said playground equipment was removed in 2000 because of townhouse kids getting injured and the equipment was deteriorated. He said the area is not used by the majority of homeowners, yet the grass has to be kept up. Mr. Buchanan said his kids and most other kids prefer Bass Lake Playfields. He said there might be some additional traffic and suggested one less home be built. He said it is a shame to let the area deteriorate. Mr. Buchanan said the trees are located on the edge of the outlot. and would not be disturbed by building. He said the berm separating Northwest Boulevard would block most of the homes. Cliair Hulmus iiilruduct;d Randy Guse, 5705 SyGaiiiurt Laae N. Mr. Guse ask;;d if there arc ways to use this outlot that could be acceptable to all property owners. IHe asked if the two existing smaller lots next to the proposed road could be expanded to make them equivalent to the adjacent lots as a compensation for the development. Mr. Guse said consideration could be given to building fewer homes than six. Mr. Switzer said in 13 years he has never seen a rat or mouse on the uutlot, but he has seen purple martens and kids sliding in the winter. Chair Holmes introduced Karen Behm, 13230 57`' Avenue N. Ms. Behm said she was secretary for the homeowners association when they ran out of money and tried to collect from the neighborhood. She said some homeowners are adamant about not paying dues so others have to pay more. Ms. Behm said let's get the burden of the outlot off the homeowners. She said the association is open to other options, but overall wants to dissolve the association. Mr. Rogers said after taking comments and concerns, the association has voted and agreed to sell the outlot. He asked for City approval of the sketch. (26) Approved Planning Commission Minutes August 15, 2007 Page 7 Planning Manager Senness said many older homeowner's associations were created for the sole purpose of maintaining open space outlots. After 1996, the protected status went away for outlots and if a homeowner's association wishes to dispose of the outlot and dissolve, the City would not object. She said the HOA establishes its own rules and operates separately from the City, and the City is not a party to the HOA. Planning Manager Senness asked about the width of the road. Senior Planner Drill said a standard 28 -foot street width is what would be recommended in this case so parking could occur on both sides of the street. Plarming Manager Senness said the developer would be required to keep streets clean during the time of construction, and the City requires a street cleaning contract. City Engineer Moberg said it would be hard to differentiate the cost of maintenance to add a relatively small cul-de-sac to the 300+ miles that the City currently maintains. Planning Manager Seiuless said in regard to change in status of the outlot, there was a complete overhaul of the ordinance in 1996. There was public notice about the change, but not mailed to every home. She added that most PUD's were rescinded at that time. Planning Manager Senness said in regard to setting a precedent for potential development of outlots, every situation has its own set of factors. She said the City Attorney has advised that if there is no conservation easement over an outlot and it meets the City's other requirements, it does become a developable piece of land. Commissioner Davis said viewing this property from Northwest Boulevard, it appears to be high on a hill. He asked if there would be significant grading to produce this development. Commissioner Davis also asked the size of the six proposed homes compared to existing homes nearby. Mr. Fretham said there is no grading plan yet, but he does not envision significant fill. He said there is potential to save or move most of the existing trees. Mr. Fretham said there are no housing plans yet, but the lots are slightly bigger than lots in the neighborhood. He said houses could be bigger but the site doesn't lend itself to put mansions on it. He said they would develop the site and look for a builder. Commissioner Neset asked about the rain garden/pond. City Engineer Moberg said that the City does not require submission of drainage calculations with a sketch, so that the developer can get a sense of what the City is looking for before they start spending significant amounts of money. The next step would be submittal of a preliminary plat with drainage calculations that would need to be supported to indicate ponding would be adequate. (27) Approved Planning Commission Minutes August 15, 2007 Page 8 Commissioner Neset said a couple of homeowners would be impacted as a result of this outlot being developed. He said they have gotten used to the open space and it would be a challenge to get used to development especially when their expectation was that it would remain open space. Commissioner Neset said one idea is to remove Lot 3 and shift the other houses up and away from affected existing property owners. This could also accommodate the pond and a natural buffer between them. Commissioner Jaffoni asked if positioning of the homes when viewed from Northwest Boulevard would be consistent with the existing. She said it be nice to retain the setback and look to that thoroughfare. Mr. Fretham said they would honor . the 50 -foot setback from Northwest Boulevard in addition to the backyards of the houses. He said it is a busy street and there would be increased screening along Northwest Boulevard. Commissioner Jaffoni said there were comments on traffic and asked what makes turning north difficult. City Engineer Moberg said there currently are challenges with the turning movement left onto Northwest Boulevard which won't go away or get any better, but wouldn't consider the additional 50-60 trips per day over a 24-hour period of time to have a significant impact on those traffic movements. Commissioner Weir said the berm on the east side of the outlot would still exist and the visiun of the houses would bu somewhat reniotu. Commissioner Davis noted that Lots 1 and 6 seem problematic as the homes would be too close to existing homes. He said his recommendation would be to do something with those two proposed homes. Chair Holmes said the aerial photo indicates that the dense tree line along Northwest Boulevard ends at the open space. He said if the tree line were continued with more mature trees, it wouldn't look like a new development and it would aesthetically hide the view of Northwest Boulevard. Chair Holmes said further development of plans for ponding may detennine the property is not big enough to support six lots, but may be able to support five. He said this is a dramatic change and a tough one for the people who abut the outlot. Commissioner Davis said he supports the resolution with no changes.

SAC is a "connection" fee which has been levied since 1973 for new connections or increased volume discharged by existing users to the Metropolitan Disposal System (MDS). SAC revenue is used to pay for the unused reserve capacity portion of debt service for capital improvements. The wastewater volume review serves as a method for detecting wastewater volume increases from a facility. Current wastewater volumes are converted to a SAC equivalent and compared to a SAC baseline value. Any increases over the baseline value, or the value for SAC credits, whichever is greater, have the potential to be assessed SAC. Three years ago, a wastewater volume review for your facility took place. At that time, wastewater volumes from your facility were noted to be below SAC baseline and/or SAC credit levels. For.Honeywell Inc, the subsequent wastewater volume review for your facility has been completed. The preliminary evaluation of wastewater flows indicates an increased use of the sanitary sewer, above the SAC baseline and/or SAC credit levels, equivalent to 191 SAC units. Please refer to the attached "Wastewater Volume Review" for the results of the review. Based on the 2007 MCES SAC rate of $1,675 per unit, the charge for 191 SAC units would be $319,925. Note that the SAC rate is subject to increase each January, and that all SAC payments are at the rate in effect at the time of payment. SAC payment is due at the end of the month following receipt of your renewed permit, but can be paid at any time up to that point. A follow-up letter will be mailed to you four months prior to permit renewal describing two options regarding a potential SAC payment. The first option will be to pay SAC based on the preliminary volume review results and the SAC rate in effect at time of payment. The second option will be to conduct a 30 -day wastewater volume study (guidelines enclosed) to determine the updated SAC equivalent of wastewater flows. The volume study option will be beneficial to your company if you choose to initiate wastewater reduction measures to reduce or eliminate the amount of SAC due. A final enclosure is the "SAC Statement of Intent." Please complete and return it to MCES by 9/30/07. www.meti-ocouncil.org 390 Robert Street North • St. Paul, MN 55101-1805(� "r-} ' -1005 • Fax (651) 602-1,177 'M (651) 291-0904 An ryu3 al _�.,....._$. n _..q Inye, Metropolitan Council IAN A% Environmental Services Wastewater Volume Review Industrial Discharge Permit Renewal Company Name Honeywell Inc Permit Number Permit Expiration Date August 31 2008 SAC equivalent of the April - June, 2007 Self -Monitoring Report (Total wastewater volume/total number of operation days equals average daily wastewater volume.

Modified SAC Baseline Value (MCES policy determined the SAC baseline value to be the SAC equivalent of the volume reported in the final self-monitoring report for 1991. The modified SAC baseline value represents the SAC baseline value, plus any SAC units paid after the 1991 baseline date, or the value for SAC credits*, whichever is greater.) 555 Units 364 Units This review indicates that the SAC equivalent of the current wastewater volume exceeds the modified SAC baseline value. The permittee has the option to conduct a wastewater volume study prior to permit expiration. The MCES will make a final determination as to the permittee's SAC liability based on the preliminary volume data and the SAC equivalent determined from the wastewater volume study. In the interim, the industrial user has the option to undertake volume reduction measures to reduce or eliminate SAC associated with this permit renewal. * MCES SAC payment records may not be current, therefore, the credit value may be revised to account for unidentified credits, if the permittee can provide proof of their existence.

Attn: Mark Schmitt 12001 State Highway 55 Plymouth MN 55441 SUBJECT: Metropolitan Council Enviromnental Services - Industrial Discharge Permit #66 Dear Mr. Schmitt: Recently the City of Plymouth received a copy of a letter dated August 31, 2007, from the Metropolitan Council to Honeywell, Inc. advising of the potential need to obtain 191 additional Service Availability Charge (SAC) units, due to an increase in the volume of waste water discharged to the metropolitan disposal system. As indicated in that letter, some cities use SAC determinations to assess municipal impact or comiection fees which are exclusive of the SAC charge. The City of Plymouth is a municipality that does assess both sewer and water residential equivalent coiuzection (REC) charges based upon total SAC determinations. Sanitary sewer REC charges are established by the City to finance central system costs which include: sewer trunks, force mains and pumping stations. Water REC charges are established by the City to finance central system costs representing trunk water mains, reservoirs, wells, pumping stations, and treatment facilities. Both the sanitary sewer and water residential equivalent connection charges are based upon one REC being equivalent to 72,000 gallons of flow per year for the specific use. A SAC unit is based upon 274 gallons per day, or 100,010 gallons per year. The total number of REC charges required is determined by using a multiplying figure of 1.39 (100,010 gals, divided by 72,000 gals.) times the number of SAC units regUlred. Please be advised that if an additional 191 SAC units are required to be purchased, the City will also assess Honeywell, Inc. for an additional 265 (191 x 1.39) sewer REC 3400 Plymouth Blvd • Plymouth, Minnesota 55447.1482 • Tel: 763-509-5000 • www.ci.ptymouth.mn.us (40) charges and 265 (191 x 1.39) water REC charges. A sewer REC charge is $400.00 per unit.. and a water REC charge is $1,025.00 per unit. The total fee assessed for both the sewer and water REC charges is $377,625.00. Due to the significant costs that would be incurred if your facility were to purchase the additional SAC units determined by the Metropolitan Council's preliminary volume review, you may wish to consider exploring alternative methods or processes that may reduce your wastewater flow. You would need to communicate directly with the Metropolitan Council if you were to pursue this option. The City will eventually be notified by the Metropolitan Council once a final determination has been made. If additional SAC and REC charges are required, the City would collect for such charges. If you have any further questions concerning this matter, please feel free to contact me at (763) 509-5431.
