Open houses are set for Sept. 15 and 20, 6:30 — 8:30 p.m., at the Plymouth Creek Center, 14800 34th Ave. N. The public is invited to attend. Property owners, residents, business owners and other stakeholders in Northwest Plymouth will receive mailed notices. The open houses will give the public an informal setting in which to learn about the current Comprehensive Plan and the update process. The open houses will feature maps and background information contained in the current Comprehensive Plan. City staff, City Council members and Planning Commissioners also will be on hand. The initial focus of the Comprehensive Plan update will be Northwest Plymouth, which is the last largely undeveloped area in the city. Northwest Plymouth is generally located west of Fembrook Lane and north of the Canadian Pacific Railroad. The Comprehensive Plan update will deal with the northwest area as two sub -districts or planning areas. Community Development Director Anne Hurlburt notes that the planning that occurs during the update process will not just be theoretical, it will help shape the face of Northwest Plymouth. "Determining land uses, and how and where sewer and water will be extended will have very real consequences in the future. It's an exciting opportunity for people to participate in shaping this area of Plymouth," she said. The City Council has placed a high priority for public involvement and input in the planning process. "We are interested in hearing from everyone who is interested in these issues," said Hurlburt. Additional public meetings will be held throughout the Comprehensive Plan update process. City officials plan to complete the initial phase of the update by the summer of 2006. The second phase, a general update of planning issues throughout Plymouth, will take place after that. The Comprehensive Plan The Comprehensive Plan provides a long-range plan for community growth and change. It also details the public infrastructure needed to serve the community. The plan includes detailed plans for land use; housing; surface water; transportation; parks, trails and open spaces; water supply and distribution; sanitary sewer; and public facilities. . In Minnesota, state law requires municipalities in the seven -county metropolitan area to review, and if necessary, revise their plans every ten years. Stay Informed The City web site, www.ci.plymouth.mn.us, will feature periodic updates on Comprehensive Plan news and meetings. An email subscription is also available via the web site. Subscribers will receive email notices about future meetings and news. To subscribe, go to the web site and click on the My Subscriptions link on the home page.

A few organizations try to keep South Lake officials talking to one another and working together. The South Tonka League of Women Voters is one of them. The league regularly sponsors "Meet the Mayors" nights, when the mayors of the South Lake cities discuss issues and answer the public's questions. The mayors of Deephaven, Excelsior, Greenwood, Shorewood and Tonka Bay are invited to another such meeting at 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 8 at Shorewood City Hall, 5755 Country Club Road. The event is free and open to the public. Time to seek office If you live in Osseo, Independence or Hopkins, now is your chance to run for local elected office. The filing period, when candidates can put their names on the November ballot for the offices of mayor (except in Independence) and City Council member, began on Tuesday and continues until Sept. 13. Minnetonka and St. Louis Park also have elections this fall, but if you live in those communities, you have missed your chance to run. A primary for offices in those cities will be held Sept. 13. To file in Osseo, Independence or Hopkins, stop by your local City Hall. For more information, call 763-479-0527 in Independence, 763-425-2624 in Osseo and 952-935-8474 in Hopkins. Sheriffs volunteers The Hennepin County Sheriffs Office is looking for volunteers to help patrol the county and respond to emergencies on land and water. The sheriffs water patrol unit needs volunteer special deputies to help watch over Lake Minnetonka and other county waterways. After a year of training, volunteers must work one eight-hour shift every other weekend each summer and attend monthly training sessions. The sheriffs emergency squad patrols the county and helps respond to such emergencies as car crashes, other accidents and medical situations. Volunteers need 300 hours of training in their first year and then must devote at least 192 hours per year to the squad. For more information, call the emergency squad at 763-391-5136 or go to www.emer eg i squactorg. For the water patrol, call 952-471-1316 or go to www.watematrol.org. Posts in Plymouth Plymouth is looking for residents to serve on citizen advisory boards, which oversee particular areas of city policy. Commissions that deal with planning, housing, parks, transit, the environment and human rights all have openings. For more information or for an application, go to wvw.ci_plymouth_tnn.us or call 763-509-5000.

No. 5101 School To Begin Shortly With school starting shortly, many kids will be walking or catching the bus to school. The contractor is �pppQo aware of this and will use extra caution when kids are present. We have contacted the School District =._ and we will be working around the bus route schedule to ensure the buses stay on schedule. September Edition Please remember that construction sites can be very dangerous places. There will be heavy equipment operating on the site, and paving operations involve placing blacktop at temperatures in excess of 300°. We realize that both kids and adults like to watch street construction, but please make sure that you watch from a safe and secure distance. Why the Setback? The project initially was delayed due to CenterPoint Energy replacing the gas mains and services throughout the entire Ranchview Area, which was completed in late August. Once the contractor got going, many underground utilities were in the way of the storm sewer pipe and needed to be relocated. The contractor had to wait for the specific utility company to come out and relocate their lines, which typically took a couple of days apiece. These setbacks have been cleared and the contractor is currently working extremely hard to complete this project. The storm sewer installation has been completed. The contractor is currently working on removing the existing pavement and the underlying What Work Remains? earth in the Ranchview West Area. Once they are completed on the West side, they will move to the Ranchview East Area. After the streets have been excavated, and the sand and gravel have been placed, the concrete curb and gutter will be installed. The contractor will, again, start on the West side with the curb and gutter installation. The first layer of asphalt will then be 13 placed, followed by the sod and driveway restoration. The last part of the project is the final lift of asphalt. The project, up to the final lift of asphalt, is expected to be completed by the end of the construction year. However, if inclement weather or unforeseen problems arise, this schedule could change significantly. Who you gonna call, what website, and when they gonna work????

City of Plymouth Engineering Department 3400 Plymouth Boulevard Plymouth, MN 55447-1482 l� How do you like your steak? Some people like their steak well done, some like it medium rare. At the City we like our stakes stuck into the ground with little pink flags on them. You will see our stakes throughout the neighborhood. We realize that they are a pain to mow around, and that kids sometimes like to play with them, but please try to leave them alone. Moving a stake could cause problems with constructing the road and costly delays. Your cooperation is appreciated. BE GA R E F U L PREVENT ACCIDENTS IOCP Housing Fast Facts ■ Housing is the cost -driver of the IOCP Budget, accounting for 49%, or $1,450,000, of this year's (4/1/05 -3/31/06) budget of $2,944,000. Emergency Mousing spending is budgeted at $1,000,000 and Housing Fund Initiatives at $450,000. ■ In the last fiscal year, IOCP provided $950,000 in 1,820 emergency housing assists for 650 unduplicated households which included 800 children. This is an increase of 9% in assists over the previous year. Fifty-five families served were literally homeless at the time of service. ■ IOCP is experiencing greatly escalated need for emergency housing assistance to help keep people in their homes. The current monthly budget allocation for Emergency Housing of $79,000 is typically spent in the first 10 days of the month, and we are turning people away thereafter. ■ IOCP is partnering with CommonBond Communities to develop long term solutions at the Vicksburg Commons project, which consists of 50 units of affordable housing in Plymouth. 4 of these units will be reserved for the homeless. The IOCP Housing Fund has committed $200,000 to this $11,000,000 project, and is working with CommonBond to complete the project. $50,000 from IOCP's Housing Fund helped leverage additional contributions of $480,000, which will fund the construction of 4 units of affordable housing in Wayzata in 2006 in partnership with Habitat for Humanity and the West Hennepin Affordable Housing Land Trust. IOCP's housing continuum includes a more -than -housing approach to affordable housing. CONECT Plus, a collaborative community project focused on family, school, and employment stability, provides onsite family and children support services at seven Plymouth apartment complexes—Regency Pointe, Lakeview Commons, Shenandoah Apartments, Kimberly Meadows, Plymouth Colony, Willow Woods, and Stonecreek Village. CONECT Plus links residents with a wide range of community resources, and engages them in building healthy apartment neighborhoods. Potential impact: 779 families. IOCP Emerging Housing Initiatives Development The 50 -unit affordable housing Vicksburg Common development (see above) was approved by the Plymouth City Council in August, 2005. The project will have 19 units with rent subsidies so that tenants of any income will pay no more than 30% of their income for rent. The other 31 units will be affordable to families earning up to $38,500. IOCP will also open a new CONECT Plus Advantage Center at this site projected to open in 2006. 2 units of rental housing and 2 units of homeownership housing will be constructed in Wayzata in 2006. All 4 units will be affordable to families with incomes between $23,000 and $38,500. This project is fully funded and will be reviewed by the Wayzata City Council in the winter of 2005-6. Acquisition IOCP is in the process of developing a partnership with the Intertec Bank and the City of Plymouth to acquire a home in foreclosure for resale to a low-income family. IOCP's goal is to assist 15 families to achieve homeownership through down payment assistance and partnerships with banks, Community Action Partnership Suburban Hennepin (CAPSH), and the West Hennepin Affordable Housing Land Trust Preservation Project Success helps families in achieving economic independence by assisting them to enhance their income earning potential or make progress toward life -improvement goals. The 2005-6 goal is to provide these rent subsidies and intensive supports services to 12 families. ■ IOCP is currently working to establish the Handy Helper program to help families maintain their homes by providing free or low cost rehabilitation assistance through volunteer labor provided by individuals and companies in the building trades. Bob's SleepOut 2005, which supports IOCP's entire housing continuum, was never more crucial.

Based on the information provided, the MPCA staff has closed the release site file. Closure of the file means that the MPCA 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 MPCA staff has concluded that any remaining contamination, if present, does not appear to pose a threat to public health or the environment under current conditions. The MPCA reserves the right to reopen this file and to require additional investigation and/or cleanup work if new information, changing regulatory requirements or changed land use 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. 115C (2002) 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 (2002), the Minnesota Superfund Law.

Johnson 3400 Plymouth Boulevard Plymouth, MN 55447 Dear Mayor Johnson: The Brooklyn Park City Council discussed informally your request that we join you in efforts to increase the visibility of the need for improvements to Highway 169. While we agree with you that Highway 169 is a significant roadway and is in need of improvements in the future, we do not at this time. consider it our highest priority highway project. As you.are most likely aware, our top :priority is the completion of Highway 610 through Maple Grove to connect to Highway 94. Our second priority is the upgrading of Highway 252 through Brooklyn Park and Brooklyn Center so that when Highway 610 is completed, Highway 252 can function at some reasonable level. A third highway project that we are giving a high priority to is the express bus lane which we are. working on with other communities along Highway 81 to downtown Minneapolis. Therefore, while we share your concerns about the upgrading of Highway 169 in the future, we would be willing to join your efforts only with our other higher priorities in mind. Clearly Highway 169 is one of the more congested corridors for its entire length and if there is away to reduce that congestion, we would be willing to help.
