Dear Frank, June 1,1989
The revision of the Plymouth City Code 1135.03, Massage
Distinguished, is fine as worded except it excludes 2
groups I feel should be included: those educated in
another state and those with less education but ample
experience.
A possible rewording may go as follows:
a) Have received a comprehensive certificate of massage
500 class credit hours minimum) from a school recog-
nized by the appropriate State Higher Education Board;
Documented hours of experience may be substituted for
up to 200 hours of education) and
If you need to contact me, I can be reached at home: 559-7401
or at the Plymouth Back & Neck Clinic:
Thank you.

DATE: June 2, 1989
TO: James G. Willis, City Manager
FROM: Blair Tremere, Director Planning and Community Development
SUBJECT: CORRESPONDENCE FROM METROPOLITAN COUNCIL REGARDING METROPOLITAN
URBAN SERVICE AREA (MUSA)
You requested a summary memo regarding this subject which we have been
discussing with the Metropolitan Council staff for several weeks. We received
the attached May 30, 1989 letter from Metropolitan Council Chair Steve Keefe
regarding a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to the Stage Growth Plan for property
in the northwest corner of Vicksburg Lane and County Road 9. We had received
an earlier confirmation from the Metropolitan Council that they had endorsed
this particular amendment; however, they indicated in the earlier letter that
they were going to take the additional time allowed by their policy to study
the issue of Stage Growth and the Metropolitan Urban Service Area Impacts.
The attached letter confirms the approval of this specific amendment.
The third item in Mr. Keefe's letter which is reinforced by the attached
Metropolitan Council Staff Report, is the basis for our continued concern
regarding an issue that came to our attention in April when we received the so
called "Systems Statement" as required by State law.
You responded to the Systems Statement materials in a letter of May 10, 1989
to Mr. Keefe. A copy of that letter is also attached.
The issue is this: A Metropolitan Urban Service Area boundary was identified
in our Comprehensive Plan of approximately ten years ago. It was approved by
the Metropolitan Council after the City Council adopted the Stage Growth Plan
which had been mandated by the Metropolitan Council. That boundary has been
amended by the Metropolitan Council (at least through their staff
interpretation) to be the boundary of the post -1990 Urban Service area which
we have recognized and enforced as the Stage Growth Area during the 1980's.

An informational meeting that Fred Moore and I attended on May 19th and the
special meeting you, Fred and I had with Metropolitan Council Staff members on
May 24 confirm that the Metropolitan Council (staff) position is that the Year
2000 Metropolitan Urban Service area boundary is the Stage Growth Plan
boundary.
The Metropolitan Council Staff has acknowledged that they have not maid
reference to the Capital Improvement Program amendments we have sent them each
year (as required by State law) and that, despite the annual detailed programs
for utilities represented in the CIP, the MUSA line is based on their
perception of our "need" for Urban land through the next decade.
We identified at our May 19th meeting some of the information they they could
use to reevaluate their position, i.e., their projections of the supply of
land that Plymouth would need to meet the demand through the 1990's.
SUMMARY
The Metropolitan Council has officially informed the City that there will be
no further amendments to the Stage Growth Plan entertained until the matter of
the Metropolitan Urban Service Area boundary is resolved. While the City has,
per State law, nine months to respond to information in the Metropolitan
Council Systems Statement, it is our intention to get this specific matter of
the MUSA boundary resolved promptly.
It will have an impact on all of those developers that expected to receive an
amendment to the Stage Growth Plan either because sanitary sewer could be
provided by gravity or, as in the case of Ryan Construction Company and Mr.
Craig Scherber, by virtue of an accelerated CIP project.
There are a variety of legal and/or political questions involved in this which
will need to be sorted. We are reviewing this in detail now and have
undertaken the extensive research and deliberative effort to get the
information prepared.
I recommend that the Council be made aware of this situation; we will keep you
informed as to the next phase.

SUBJECT: City of Plymouth Comprehensive Plan Amendment
13 Acre Staged Growth Amendment
Metropolitan Council District 9
Metropolitan Council Referral No. 14352-3
INTRODUCTION
The City of Plymouth submitted an amendment to the Staged Growth Plan of its
Comprehensive Plan. The amendment affects 13 acres of land northwest of County Road
9 and Vicksburg Lane. (See Attachment A.)
The major issue involved in this amendment is the location of the MUSA line. The city
contends the MUSA line is as shown on Attachment A, and that the 13 acre parcel
affected is within it. However, the parcel is outside the MUSA official Council MUSA,
which is represented by the unshaded area.
AUTHORITY TO REVIEW
The Metropolitan Land Planning Act of 1976 requires that amendments to local
comprehensive plans be prepared and submitted to the Metropolitan Council for review
and adopted in the same manner as the original plans. (Minnesota Statutes 473.864,
Subd. 2, 1978.) Guidelines adopted pursuant to Minnesota Statutes 473.864 for reviewing
proposed amendments provide for a 90 -day review period for amendments potentially
affecting one or more of the metropolitan systems, and a 60 -day review period for
amendments that do not have a potential impact on metropolitan systems.
The City of Plymouth submitted its proposed Staged Growth Amendment on March 28,
1989. On April 10, 1989, the Chair determined that the proposed amendment has no
potential impact upon any of the metropolitan system plans. However, beyond this
determination, the Council has 60 days from receipt of the proposed amendment to review
and comment upon the apparent consistency of the proposed amendment with the
Metropolitan Development and Investment Guide. Therefore, the 60 -day review period
applies and ends on May 26, 1989.

proposed amendment to the Plymouth Staged Growth plan.
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. That the Council adopt this report and findings as stated above as part of these
recommendations.
2. That the City of Plymouth's Staged Growth Amendment to the City of Plymouth's
Comprehensive Plan be approved.
3. That the inconsistency between the Council's and the City's interpretation of the
location of the MUSA line be resolved prior to Council consideration of another
amendment to the City's Staged Growth plan.

Mr. Steve Keefe, Chair
Metropolitan Council
Mears Park Centre
230 East Fifth Street
St. Paul, MN 55101
Dear Mr. Keefe:
CITY OF
PLYMOUTFt
This acknowledges receipt of your April 10, 1989 letter and the partial 1988
Metropolitan Systems Statement for the City of Plymouth. We later received a
memo dated April 13, 1989 conveying the Traffic Assignment Zone Map for the
Systems Statement and an April 11, 1989 letter conveying a Metropolitan Urban
Services Area (MUSA) map for Plymouth.
Your assistance is needed to clarify and correct what appears to be a
misinterpretation of the Metropolitan Urban Service Area boundary for the Year
2000 for Plymouth. The map we received from your staff planner Robert Overby
indicates -that the MUSA boundary is not only the perimeter of the Rural
Service Area, but also the post -1990 Staged Growth Area which is entirely
within the MUSA.
Plymouth defined a specific MUSA line indicating the limits of the
Metropolitan Urban Service Area and the Rural Service Area when our
Comprehensive Plan was updated approximately 10 years ago. You will be able
to verify, I'm sure, that this was approved by not only the Metropolitan
Council Planning Staff but also by the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission.
The Metropolitan Council specified that Plymouth should also indicate, within
the Metropolitan Urban Service Area, a so-called "Staged Growth" or post -1990
development area based upon calculations o'F land supply and demand. After
extensive negotiations with the Metropolitan Council staff, the City of
Plymouth received approval of its updated Comprehensive Plan, including the
MUSA boundary and the post -1990 Staged Growth Area.
The City of Plymouth has not requested and does not anticipate the need to
request any changes to the approved MUSA boundary.
We have for many years updated our 5 year Capital Improvement Program
annually, and we have sent copies to the Metropolitan Council. We plan to
commence extension of sanitary sewer and municipal water into those areas that
have been in the Staged Growth Area for the last 10 years; and this is in
accordance with the adopted Capital Improvement Program. This has been
anticipated for several years and will begin later this year so developments
can begin in 1990.

We met with members of the Metropolitan Council staff who were then under the
direction of Ms. Pat Pahl in 1986 when revisions were being made to the
Metropolitan Development and Investment Framework Guide.
The Metropolitan Council staff had made some preliminary calculations and
indicated to us that there seemed to be a need to reserve some land within the
MUSA through the year 2000, but that it would be substantially less than that
which had been reserved during the 1980s. We responded that, when we
undertook the updating of our Comprehensive Plan in 1989 and 1990, we would
meet with your staff again and deliberate that point. We indicated that we
could then determine where that area would be if it really were necessary.
Your staff responded affirmatively.
We commenced the updating of our Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Guide Plan
last December and we are in fact in the midst of public hearings regarding the
Land Use Guide Plan Element and Map. The Systems Statement is very timely and
it is important to us as a matter of sound community planning to resolve the
misinterpretation of the Year 2000 MUSA boundary.
It is our view that the boundary should remain as it has been defined for
about 10 years; we foresee no amendments or changes to that at this time. It
should not however be confused with the perimeter of the Staged Growth Area
which has been held in reserve and in rural status for the last 10 years, with
the exception of a few amendments which have been approved by the Metropolitan
Council.
Community Development Director Blair Tremere is managing the Comprehensive
Plan Update process and I recommend that you have your key staff person
contact him so that we can arrange a meeting if necessary to resolve this
matter promptly. We are continuing with our updating effort but I am sure
that you will agree that it is vital that this matter be resolved as soon as
possible since the development community depends on our planning (and yours)
for sound guidance in making their economic decisions.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
James G. Willis
City Manager

SUBJECT LUNDGREN BROTHERS CONTSTRUCT N - REISER ADDITION - PUBLIC TRAIL TO
MOONEY LAKE (89005)
Eric Blank and I have met individually with Michael and Peter Pflaum since
the last Council Meeting to discuss and view the question of trail access to
Mooney Lake across proposed Lot 20. Eric and I have also walked the site
and developed a proposal which is attached.
As noted on the attached graphics, the proposed trail corridor would be 50
feet along the south side of Lot 20. The trail corridor would, however, fan
out at the westerly end of Lot 20 to incorporate the point overlooking
Mooney Lake. We have highlighted on the graphics the 988.0 ordinary high
water level established by the DNR as compared to the shoreline as it
existed last October (984.2).
Eric and I believe the best interest of the City would be served by taking
the land as indicated for the trail pursuant to the City's park dedication
ordinance. The developer will still have a large developable lot upon which
to build a substantial home. I believe both parties "win" with this
proposal. I have sought to review the specific proposal with Peter Pflaum
today, following receipt of the graphic, but was not able to reach him.
Lundgren Brothers has suggested that the City consider adopting deed
restrictions to place upon the trail. Those proposed restrictions are
attached. Eric and I have reviewed them and believe that only one, in our
view, appears to be necessary. Proposed restrictions 1, 2, 3 and 5 are
either covered by current City ordinances, policies or state law. Item
number 4, dealing with construction, appears to be reasonable. We can
appreciate the fact that a shelter or recreational equipment could be a
potential problem on the desirability of someone to develop a home on the
site. We do believe, however, that a fishing dock, similar to the one at
Timber Shores Park, appears to be a reasonable facility which we believe
would likely be constructed at the lake shore.
