6. ERA HEARING ON COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG)
FUNDING OF THE 10TH AVENUE NEIGHBORHOOD PARK -- Thursday,
November
City Council has asked the HRA to conduct a hearing
on the feasibility of using CBDG funds to construct the
proposed 10th Avenue neighborhood park. Chuck Dillerud
has worked with Chairman Crain of the HRA to schedule a
meeting for 6:30 p.m. on November 7 to consider
amendments to Year XVII of our CBDG program.
At this point in time we are anticipating that we will
have received definitive word from the County on their
concurrence with our appraisal for the acquisition of the
senior citizen's housing site by the City to free it from
existing HUD regulations. The City's appraisal for the
property is $237,000. If the County concurs in this
appraisal, as we anticipate, the City will acquire and
should receive 90 percent of that money back in the form
of funds which we can use for eligible CBDG programs.
This amounts to about $213,000. The other 10 percent is
retained by Hennepin County. Following HRA consideration
of this matter, I expect to bring it back to the City
Council for their final action.
7. KIMBERLY LANE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL DEDICATION -- Sunday,

Wednesday, October 23 at 10 a.m. The Task Force provides
its advisory recommendations to the County with respect
to capital projects. Included in their list of projects
for consideration is the proposed Plymouth Community
Library. While the library staff has included the
project, as previously approved by the County Board, Mr.
Kramer noted that the Capital Budgeting Task Force is not
obligated to recommend it in subsequent years.
Councilmembers may wish to discuss this matter with
Commissioners Jude and Makowske prior to that meeting
and/or attend the meeting themselves.
9. HENNEPIN COUNTY LIBRARY BOARD -- Thursday, October 24,

FOR YOUR INFORMATION.....
1. NEW POSTAL OFFICE SUBSTATION -- Wednesday, Mayor Bergman,
Frank Boyles, and I visited with Mr. William J. Brown,
Field Division General Manager/Postmaster for the Twin
Cities' Division of the U.S. Postal Service. Mayor
Bergman had requested this meeting in order that we could
further discuss with Mr. Brown, the City's interest in
having the new postal substation named "Plymouth East,"
or something different from the proposed "Medicine Lake
Branch." Mr. Brown indicated that he was firmly
committed to names other than communities, particularly
when a community already had one postal facility with its
name attached. He indicated that he was receptive to
other alternatives. Mayor Bergman suggested that the
Plymouth Historical Society might be a source of possible
names, e.g., historical persons, and/or features.
Mr. Brown invited us to explore this option. Attached is
a copy of a letter from Mayor Bergman to the Plymouth
Historical Society, inviting them to suggest names which
we can then furnish to Mr. Brown and his associates to
use in making a final determination.
Also attached is a letter from Senator Paul Wellstone
responding to a letter from Mayor Bergman on this
subject. (I-1)
2. MEETING WITH REGIONAL TRANSIT BOARD REPRESENTATIVES --
Mayor Bergman and Frank Boyles met with Mike Erlichmann,
Chair, Greg Andrews, Executive Director, and Ruth
Franklin, Plymouth's RTB representative on Friday
morning, October 11. The purpose of the meeting was to
provide an opportunity for RTB representatives to get a
better understanding of Plymouth concerns with respect to
regional transit. The discussion focused on two issue
areas:
1. What is the most appropriate process for issues to be
brought before the Regional Transit Board for
consideration? Chair Erlichmann committed to
providing a written set of procedures for "processing"
policy questions at the upcoming Opt Out Community/RTB
joint meeting on October 17.
CITY COUNCIL INFORMATION MDSORANDUX
October 11, 1991
Page 5
2. What are the most important "Opt Out" issues from
Plymouth's perspective? We identified the following:
1) Opt Out communities pay twice for capital; 2) the
Regional Transit Board should support the concept of
Opt In for other metropolitan area communities; 3) the
RTB should develop a more balanced approach between
oversight/regulatory functions and promotion of
transit services; 4) Opt Out communities should be
able to carry over excess funds from their annual
contracts for use in the subsequent year; 5) the RTB
should continue to assist communities in locating and
developing park and ride lots; and 6) the RTB should
continue to provide assistance to municipalities in
travel demand management efforts.
During the course of the meeting we asked whether the
Regional Transit Board was reducing the 90 percent
available to Opt Out communities by charging a portion of
the RTB administrative expenses against that levy. Greg
Andrews stated that they were not and do not intend to in
the future.
Discussion also touched on the issue of RTB regulation of
the MTC and what appears to be high wages and benefits.
Representatives present were divided on the degree of
oversight power which the RTB has over the Metropolitan
Transit Commission.
A meeting of Opt Out community representatives and the
entire Regional Transit Board is scheduled for Thursday,
October 17 at 4:00 p.m. at the Regional Transit Board
offices. At the meeting a written process for handling
issues will be discussed as well as a timeline for
handling issdues which Opt Out communities raise.
Members of the Council are invited to attend.
3. 1991 STREET RECONSTRUCTION PROGRAM --A memorandum from
Dan Faulkner summarizing the October 8 and 10 public
information meetings on the 1991 Street Reconstruction
Program is attached. Dan's memo also reports that the
Soo Line Railroad crossing at Pineview Lane became
operational as of October 10. (I-3)
4. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR SEARCH -- I am still in
the process of reviewing applicants for the Community
Development Director's position. The applicant list has
been narrowed down to six individuals who have been
invited to participate in an assessment center next
Thursday and Friday. Following that event I expect the
list will be further reduced until I make a selection on
the next director. I hope to have that process completed
by October 25.

Dear Mr. Boyles,
r.
In our continuing effort io reach out to the community, we are once again scheduling a
series of regional meetings to discuss transit issues.
You are invited to join other local governmental officials from communities in the
northern portions of Hennepin County (within the taxing district)at a continental
breakfast on:
Friday, October 25, 1991
from 7:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. at the
Days Inn -Brooklyn Center
1501 Freeway Boulevard
(1-94 at Humboldt Avenue North)
Brooklyn Center, Minnesota
This annual meeting is a key element in the Regional Transit Board's efforts to enhance
communication with government officials. We want to significantly increase the
participation of community leaders in assessing and planning for transit services to best
meet local needs. While I will use some of our time together to update you on some
current RTB activities, particularly our new suburban transit hub and circulator
system program, this meeting will also provide you with an opportunity to share your
ideas regarding transit in the seven -county metropolitan area. Your questions on transit
topics will also be welcome.
Two-way communication is necessary in the public decision-making process and I hope
you will make time in your busy schedule to attend this meeting. As I know your time is
limited, we will conclude the meeting no later than 9:00 a.m. I look forward to meeting
with you on Friday, October 25.
If you are able to attend, please call our receptionist at 292-8789 by Tuesday,

c/o Mr. Gary Schiebe, Treasurer

Plymouth, MN 55447
SUBJECT: NAME FOR NEW PLYMOUTH POSTAL STATION
Dear Gary:
In the next year a new postal station is to be constructed in
Plymouth at 45th Avenue North, just east of Nathan Lane. The new
station needs a name. While the Post Office will make the final
decision, they have suggested that we provide one or more
alternatives for their consideration.
That's where the Plymouth Historical Society comes in. We would
like the Historical Society to submit a list of historic names,
one of which might be adopted as the name for the new postal
station.
The names submitted should have a historical significance related
to Plymouth. The most preferred name would also have geographic
significance in the immediate area. Our preference is that the
suggested names not refer to another community because of the
confusion which would result. For example, the Post Office has
suggested "Medicine Lake Station" as a name. We do not support
this proposal.
Time is of the essence. Please have the Historical Society
submit the suggested names in writing, or over the phone, to me
in care of the City Center, 3400 Plymouth Boulevard by Friday,
October 17 at noon. In the meantime, please feel free to contact
Jim Willis at 550-5011 if you have questions.
Sinc rely,
Kim M. Bergman

Thank you for contacting my office about the problem you are
having with the United States Postal Service. I have assigned a

I have contacted the United States Postal Service and asked that
they investigate the situation and advise me of their findings.
A copy of that letter is enclosed.
As soon as I receive a response I will contact you. In the

review.
Mayor Bergman and the City Council are seeking assistance in
assuring that the name of the new postal facility to be located
in Plymouth has "Plymouth" included in the title. Mayor Bergman
and her colleagues believe this fosters a strong sense of
community for the residents of Plymouth.
I would appreciate it if you would investigate
advise me of your findings. Please direct your
Elizabeth Borg in my Washington office. Thank
assistance.

PUBLIC INFORMATION MEETINGS
CITY PROJECT NO. 201
PINEVIEW LANE GRADE CROSSING OF THE SOO LINE RAILROAD
CITY PROJECT NO. 935
M-3
The Public Information Meetings for the 1992 Street Reconstruction Program were held on
Tuesday, October 8th and Thursday, October 10th here at City Hall. The Tuesday meeting
covered District 2, which is the industrial area west of Xenium Lane, east of I-494,
south of Highway 55 and north of County Road 6. In attendance were myself, Dan
Campbell and Sue Mason and Dick Moore from our consulting firm, Short, Elliott,
Hendrickson, Inc. There was only one business representative in attendance, that being
the Facilities Manager for Control Data located at 2200/2300 Berkshire Lane.
We did receive some beneficial input from the Control Data representative, and have
subsequently decided that it would be advantageous to contact other facility managers
within the industrial area to better understand their traffic requirements and drainage
problems that they may have which could be addressed with our reconstruction program.
At the Thursday evening meeting, we covered the Residential Districts 1, 8 and 9.
District 9, the Second Ponds Subdivision, is located south of County Road 24, west of
Dunkirk Lane along 32nd Avenue. District 1, the Hughes Addition, is west of County
Road 101, north of County Road 24 between 31st and 33rd Avenues. District 8, the Amber
Woods Subdivision, lies immediately west of District 1.
There were ten residents in attendance at the Thursday meeting and no one expressed
opposition to the Pavement Management Program. There were a variety of questions
covering items including construction, schedules, assessment procedures, how drainage
will be handled, including sump pump drainage, and access to and from their properties.
The public was informed that the City staff and contractor will coordinate closely with
the affected residents to keep them properly informed of the contractor's schedules and
individual concerns will be fully addressed.
Another item that has been of concern to the City for a number of years has finally
been resolved. The Soo Line Railroad Crossing of Pineview Lane now is controlled with
a flashing signal, which became operational as of yesterday, October 10, 1991. The
p o City stop signs have been removed and the crossing can now be traversed without a stop
necessary as the flashing signals are totally operational. It was suggested by a
nearby resident that the City should have a ribbon cutting ceremony at this location.

DATE: October 4, 1991
TO: James G. Willis, City Manager
FROM: Mark S. Peterson, Park Maintenance Superintendent
SUBJECT: CO. RD. 61 PRAIRIE PLANTINGS
A question has been raised as to the success of the prairie plantings along
the Co. Rd. 61 wall and to the expense involved with its maintenance. As you
know, the wall was overgrown with weeds some of which were noxious such as
thistle. This became quite an eyesore and came under fire. We looked at a
few options, namely spraying with chemicals which would be ongoing keeping it
weed free. This would also involve manually pulling of weeds.
The other option appeared to be planting it with prairie plantings which would
also require maintenance. We felt that prairie plantings was the way to go.
The drawback is that they are still weeds in a sense but of native varieties.
They would add color at various times of the year and blend with the newly
planted native grasses.
Following the planting, we had inquires as to exactly what was surviving or
the legitimacy of the plantings. We were provided with an in-depth list of
plantings by Prairie Restorations. They are perhaps the foremost authority on
prairie planting in the Midwest area growing a majority of their own seeds and
plants. They also provided us with a maintenance plan for the wall which
included a small burn this past spring. They are very satisfied with their
results as are we. I have contacted them regarding said concerns and will be
providing me with a report. Ron Bowen of Prairie Restorations would be
willing to visit the site with us to re -explain the varieties of plants
available and the management of said plantings as he has in the past. I feel
comfortable with what we have and the current management practices. If there
is a desire to change, please let us know. If we choose to rid the wall of
plants, I foresee chemical control as our main tool. Given the concern for
the environment or perceived over use of chemicals, I believe that the use of
prairie plantings on the wall fits in with Councils desire to manage areas
more naturally.

SUBJECT: 1991 RECYCLING PROGRAM
We continue to be on target to meet the County's required goal of 162
reduction of the residential solid waste stream through recycling to
receive 802 funding of our program from Hennepin County. Attached is a
chart indicating our residential recycling collection by month for 1990
and 1991.
Our residential collections through August have been 16.752 of the waste
stream. We have exceeded the collection for 1990 for all months except
August. This was slightly less and I attribute this to the larger than
normal increase for July.
As approved by the City Council, we will be having a one time collection
of items that we do not collect as part of our dropoff center or
curbside collection program. This event will take place on Saturday
October 26 in City Center parking lot. We will be collecting magazines,
tires, appliances, reusable goods, and scrap metal. An article appeared
on this collection in the last "Plymouth News" which was delivered to
all households in Plymouth last week. The tonnage of material collected
will count towards our overall goal for the year.
Including the material received at the special collection, it appears
that we should have no problem meeting the goal and receiving 802
funding for our 1991 program from Hennepin County.

Page 171
Mr. Pedersen questioned why the property is zoned as R-2,
and what controls are in place to insure the single
family homes will be built on the site.
Chairman Plufka stated that lots are not large enough for
anything but single family homes, but said they could be
replatted or combined.
Coordinator Dillerud stated he has not seen this happen.
Chairman Plufka closed the Public Hearing.
Commissioner Stulberg stated that he is not comfortable
with the condition for access to the site through Outlot
A, and said this access should be worked out with staff,
the petitioner and the City Council.

report.
Chairman Plufka asked for an explanation of the parking
shortage complaints previously expressed before the City
Council.
Coordinator Dillerud stated that residents of the project
complained in August, 1990 that some people were parking
in fire lanes and driving lanes. The City Council asked
for a management plan from owners which would eliminate
the problem of parking in prohibited areas.
Chairman Plufka asked if this is still a problem.

Chairman Plufka read a letter from Ceil Strauss of the
Department of Natural Resources in which she stated DNR
opposition to the increase in impervious coverage on the
site over 30 percent. He also read the Conditional Use
Permit and Variance criteria.
Chairman Plufka introduced Mr. John Ploetz representing
the petitioner.
Mr. Ploetz stated that additional parking was needed to
reduce congestion on the site. He stated that cars are
being tagged currently for illegal parking. He said the
owners are trying to comply with current parking standards
and the proposed parking will be used only for resident
vehicle parking (no boats or recreational vehicles). He
said that landscaping will be installed to minimize the
effect on adjacent property owners.
Mr. Ploetz stated that the proposed northwest parking area
will be further away from the creek thus eliminating
pollution. He said he is open to suggestions on how to
reduce the amount impervious coverage.
Chairman Plufka asked what percent of apartments and
garage parking stalls are occupied.
Ms. Lisa Moe, Property Manager, responded that 85 percent
of the apartments are occupied and all garage parking
stalls are occupied.
Chairman Plufka asked for an illustration of the berming
height and landscaping.
Paul Anderson described the landscaping and berm on for
east side of the site to block headlights from a lower
proposed elevation of the parking lot.
Mr. Anderson described plantings which would screen
without a fence. He stated that a 4 foot berm height
would be maintained, .and that soil conditions are not
good.
Commissioner Syverson asked if adequate lighting will be
provided.
Mr. Anderson stated that lighting will be consistent with
the present lighting.
Chairman Plufka asked what hours the parking lot lights
would be on.
Mr. Anderson responded that parking lot lights would be on
all night.
Chairman Plufka open the Public Hearing.

Chairman Plufka introduced Mr. Patrick Hallisey of 4065
Quantico Lane.
Mr. Hallisey stated that he represented himself as a
property owner and the Plymouth Creek Homeowners
Association. He presented a petition to the Commission
from 75-85 percent of the Association members. He stated
that proper planning, adherence to code, and sufficient
parking were previous concerns of the homeowners when the
development was first proposed. He said that the complex
contains maximum density with bad planning. He stated
that the high rental rates, because of amenities, causes
doubling up in apartments and the use of the amenities by
friends of residents.
Mr. Hallisey commented on the staff report recommendation
for approval. He said that items 5 and 6 on page 3 of the
staff report were concerns. He explained that homeowners
in the area are not concerned with the screening of car
headlights as much as screening the parking lots from
homes which are above level of the parking lot. He said
that he is able to look directly into the parking lot from
his home. He said the lights are also visible from his
home and should be screened.
Mr. Hallisey stated that an increase in parking spaces was
not the only way to solve the parking problems. He said
that landscaping is preferred for screening, but it must
be adequate and homeowners must be allowed to determine
the type of screening. He said aesthetics is an issue and
also homeowners want the agreement of the DNR and Bassett
Creek Watershed District for any increase in impervious
surface.
Mr. Hallisey stated Variance criteria are not met by the
petitioner since adjoining property values have diminished
since construction as per the City Assessor. He said that
the proposed solution violates the City Codes and is
injurious to surrounding property owners. Mr. Hallisey
stated that the homeowners would like to see a committee
formed by neighbors,' tenants and the City to define
problems and look at alternate solutions.
Chairman Plufka introduced Ms. Mary Campbell of 4120
Ranchview Lane North. Ms. Campbell stated she concurred
with Mr. Hallisey's comments.
Chairman Plufka introduced Mr. Don Connors of 15565 -41st
Avenue North.
Mr. Connors stated that he is concerned with the pollution
of the pond and Plymouth Creek. He said he has studied
the pollution of the creek and has found an increase in
pollution of the water.

Quantico Lane North.
Mr. Sieverding stated he is concerned with the diminished
values of property in the area, which is 7 percent. He
suggested that alternatives be considered to solve the
parking problems. He said that the number of cars for
each apartment should be limited, and a possible solution
would be to fill in the swimming pool and use the space
for parking. He said he is also concerned with the
pollution of the area and suggested that the creek be
cleaned up.
Mr. Ploetz stated the units are 2 bedroom, and they are
trying to eliminate recreational vehicles on the site. He
said they have tried to address aesthetics with the berms
and landscaping. Mr. Ploetz commented that some loss in
property values may be due to the economy.
Chairman Plufka closed the Public Hearing.
MOTION by Commissioner Stulberg, seconded by Commissioner MOTION TO DENY
Zylla to deny the request by Welsh Construction Company
for an Amendment to the RPUD Preliminary Plan/Conditional
Use Permit, Final Site Plan and Shoreland Management
Variances to increase offstreet parking by 101 places at
the Vicksburg Village Apartments at 15700 Rockford Road
based on the finding that the request does not meet
Conditional Use Permit standards 2 and 3.
Commissioner Stulberg stated that it is not necessary to
review the topic of whether this request meets the Zoning
Ordinance standards if the Conditional Use Permit is
denied.
Commissioner Stulberg stated that he would like to see
something done to solve the problems of parking and the
pollution.
Chairman Plufka discussed lower property values and stated
that he liked the suggestion that the Homeowners
Association get involved in discussions with Department of
Natural Resource, and apartment owners.
Coordinator Dillerud stated that it seems the discussion
mostly relates to the east parking lot area. He asked if
the issues affect the west parking lot in the same way.
Chairman Plufka stated that both areas are affected.

Even -year
elections
Cities see them as way
to cut cost, boost turnout
By Norman Draper
Staff Writer
Despite the recent tendency of
many Minnesota cities to save
money and boost voter turnout
by switching to even -year
elections, the odd -year election
isn't an oddity yet.
In addition to Minneapolis and
St. Paul, 34 Twin Cities
communities will hold elections
this year. They include
Bloomington, Plymouth,
Wayzata, St. Louis Park,
Minnetonka, Shakopee, Coon
Rapids, Eagan, Roseville and
Maplewood.
In odd -year elections, municipal
issues and candidates hold sway,
without national and state
elections filling the ballots.
"The rationale (for odd -year
elections) is that we can
concentrate strictly on local
issues," said Maplewood City
Manager Michael McGuire.
"There's a concern that if there
was a national election, some of
the local issues would be lost in
the bigger picture."
In even -year elections, the
municipal slate of issues and
candidates appears at the bottom
of the ballot, resulting in some
dropoff in voting by those who
lose interest once they get past
better -publicized national and
state matters.
But a change by.the 1991
Legislature will allow the city
portion of the ballot to be moved
up. Joe Mansky, director of the
election division of the
Minnesota Secretary of State's
office, said city candidates and
ballot questions can appear before
judicial elections.
Cities that hold their municipal
elections on even years have their
reasons, too. Many cities have
become concerned about the
woefully poor turnouts for odd -
year elections, which are often
less than one-third of that for
even -year elections. There also
are savings in administrative
costs that come from merging
odd- and even -year elections.
An election costs an average
$20,000 to $30,000 for a good-
sized suburb, said Ann Higgins,
federal/state liaison for the
League of Minnesota Cities.
Bloomington, with 86,000 people,
spends 550,000 to $60,000 for its
elections, said City Clerk Evelyn
Woulfe.
The cost savings is one reason
why Richfield scrapped its odd -
year elections after 1987, said
City Clerk Thomas Ferber.
Turnout for city elections
improved dramatically when they
were coupled with state and
national elections. In the 1987
city election, for instance, 26
percent of the city's registered
voters, about 6,100 people, cast
their ballots for mayor. In 1990,
with highly publicized races for
governor and the U.S. Senate
underway, 16,200 voters — 65
percent of the registered voters —
went to the polls, and 15,040
voted in the mayoral race.
Mansky said the trend toward
municipal even -year elections has
become more pronounced in the
past five years. Only 133 of the
state's 856 cities still hold odd -
year elections, he said.
At least one city tried and failed
to make the transition. The
Plymouth City Council voted last
year to move its elections to even
years, but the action led to a
dispute over the motives of
council members who voted for
the change. With change
opponents charging that
proponents merely wanted to
extend their stay in office by a
year, the matter was submitted to
voters in a referendum. By a large
margin, voters opted for odd -year
elections.
"The rationale (for odd -year elections) is
that we can concentrate strictly on local
issues. There's a concern that if there was
a national election, some of the local
issues would be lost in the bigger picture.

MEMO
CITY OF PLYMOUTH
3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD, PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447
DATE: October 10, 1991
TO: All Personnel
FROM: Chief Richard J. Carlquis
SUBJECT: 494 AND CO. RD. 47 PI ACCIDENT
On Thursday, October 10, 1991 at approximately 0445 hours, Savage
Police Department Officer Gene Miller was involved in a P.I.
accident at County Road 47 and I494. Miller's truck rolled over
after leaving the interstate, nearly crushing him to death. The
subsequent action by Sergeant Dan Twaddle and other
police/emergency service personnel is credited with saving the
life of Officer Miller.
Savage Police Department Lieutenant Al McCall, on behalf of their
department and the Miller family, called to extend their deepest
gratitude to all those who participated in the lifesaving rescue
of Officer Miller.
Lieutenant McCall informed me that Officer Miller has sustained
injury to the C5 and C6 vertebrae. It is expected that Miller
will be confined to a halo head brace for approximately 12 weeks.
Of more concern, are head injuries sustained to the base of the
skull, near the spinal cord. This area will be monitored closely
over the next few days in anticipation of any further medical
complications.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you, in
both the Police and Fire Divisions, who participated in such a
fine cooperative effort. Once again you have brought a great
deal of credit to your professions and this Department.

Dear Mr. Meyer:
Thank you for submitting a Public Service Counter Customer Comment Card. In
you card you expressed concern regarding the ability to mail in permit
application materials and payment for associated permit fee.to our office.
Permit application forms and supporting materials can be mailed directly to
our office, however the City does not accept any checks or payment for the
following reasons:
We found that in the years past, many checks submitted with permit
applications did not accurately reflect the actual cost of the permit
fee, furthermore, the City did not want to place itself in a position
of assuming any responsibility for any check lost by mail.
Many contractors falsely assumed that the mailing of the permit fee
granted authorization to begin work prior to the issuance of a
required permit.
The submittal of checks by mail would place an administrative burden
on our clerical staff to properly track, monitor and process all
permit application materials received.
If you have any further questions please contact me at 550-5031.
Sincerely,
Joe Ryan----)

Dear Mr Blank,
I would like to thank you and your staff for putting in the wonderful
walking trail along Schmidt Lake Road and Nathan Lane. I walk this area
every day with my dog Elmo and this new trail has made it so enjoyable,
as well as safer for us both.
As a resident of Hennepin County I have always been so proud of our
Parks and all the paths that twist through neighborhoods, Parks and
wilderness areas.
Thank you again for this new trail and all the trails to be made in the
future. There are so many who value and enjoy them.
Sincerly,

Thank you very much for your comments on our paper, Water Supply Issues in the Metropolitan
Area: A Staff Report. Your comments were on the whole similar to those received at the various
meetings the Environmental Resources Committee (ERC) conducted on water supply issues.
The staff believes there are a number of reasons why a system designation would make for more
efficient management of our supply, a great deal of which is also anchored in the frustrations
experienced with the problems with planning for surface water management (Chapter 509 watershed
planning). The staff is examining a number of other options available not involving a system
designation, and I know they will be presenting those to the ERC.
My general understanding is that the staff believes a system designation maybe somewhat premature,
as a number of additional studies need to be done in order to define what such a system would be.
For example, the need for interconnection, while not disputed, needs to be further studied to
determine what this interconnecting system would be like, what it would cost, and how it might be
managed. Similarly, if we must have some additional source of water (such as from the Mesabi
Range), what facilities will be required, what will be the cost, are we willing to support such
infrastructure and who should own and operate them?
Much needs to be done to insure adequate water supplies for the region, and much can be
accomplished to effect. water conservation and comprehensive water planning through amending
existing laws without having recourse to system designation. While "the club" would not be available
to insure that regional policies and programs are implemented, much can be achieved through
leadership and cooperation.
We do not think that management through a state agency would necessarily be in the best interest
of the Metropolitan Area. We have found that on many issues, the Council is more knowledgeable
and better able to deal with regional issues, especially when much can be accomplished through
planning rather than a regulatory process.

Thank you for contacting me to express your support for S.
1557, the Toxic Cleanup Equity and Acceleration Act. I share
your concern about potential threats by industrial polluters to
shift Superfund cleanup burdens to municipalities. One important
aim of Superfund is to secure agreement that parties connected
with contamination of a site pay for its cleanup instead of
shifting these costs to the taxpayers. It's outrageous when
polluters try to push off their legitimate liability under
Superfund onto local municipalities and taxpayers. Taxpayers
should not be picking up the tab for polluters.
That's why I've introduced S. 1557, legislation to prevent
polluters from suing municipalities that simply transported and
generated municipal waste. Under S. 1557, EPA would have the
exclusive Superfund enforcement authority in such cases.
Moreover, even EPA would only be allowed to bring suits against
municipalities in the exceptional circumstances in which the
municipality essentially acted like an industrial polluter and
contributed to the hazardous pollution at a Superfund site. The
bill expands upon the EPA's own "municipal settlements policy"
which was intended to address cities' concerns about unwarranted
Superfund lawsuits.
I chaired a hearing on this legislation on July 29 in my
Superfund Subcommittee. I am seeking the cosponsorship of my
colleagues and would encourage you to let your Senators know that
you support S. 1557 and urge them to cosponsor it. I will be
working to secure swift enactment of this important legislation.
I appreciate your comments on this, and look forward to a
continuing dialogue and exchange of ideas about how to make
Superfund work better.
Knowing of our mutual concern is important to me.

Dear Senator McGowan:
I appreciate your letter conveying the concerns of your constituents on Kilmer Lane
regarding noise on Trunk Highway 169 in Plymouth.
On June 21, 1991, the Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) and the City
of Plymouth met with residents who reside on Kilmer Lane. This meeting was successful
in providing a complete understanding of the issue and the actions necessary for
resolution.
Current noise level readings indicate that there are noise level impacts in the
neighborhood. It would cost between $400,000 - $500,000 to provide noise barriers to
reduce that level. However, to provide barriers on noise impacted areas such as this on
existing highways throughout the metro area would cost $200 million. Existing legislation
would need to be modified to provide for this expenditure. If authorization was given, a
priority study would be needed throughout the metro area. Neighborhoods such as
Kilmer Lane would then be on a priority list.
At the meeting, the residents were encouraged by the City to contact their legislator
concerning either a general funding bill or specific bill where residents share in the cost
of the barrier program for their own neighborhoods. Frank Boyles of the City of
Plymouth indicated that he would aid the residents through either type of process.
I appreciate your interest and the opportunity to provide you with an update regarding
this issue. Please contact me if you would like additional information.
Sincerely,

Acoustical Insulation as a Method of Noise Abatement
see page 62)
Acoustical insulation of receptor buildings offers an
effective alternative noise abatement technique which
;.
is applicable in special cases. Since experience in
acoustical insulation for highway noise mitigation is
j
limited, further investigation of the feasibility of
1
this method is required prior to its implementation.

Highwav Noise Impact Evaluation (see page73)
There are currently 194 miles of residential area along
state highways in the seven county metropolitan area
which exceed state noise standards. Noise impacts in
many of these areas could be abated through construc-
tion of acoustical barriers. However, due. to current

Dear Mr. Schendel:
RE: Petroleum Tank Release Site Closure
Site: Carlson Companies, Plymouth
Site ID#: LEAK00004465
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) staff has determined that the
cleanup performed in response to the petroleum tank release at the site ,
referenced above has adequately addressed the petroleum contamination, and
therefore the file regarding this release will be closed.
On August 28, 1991, a petroleum tank release was reported to the MPCA. Since
then, the following corrective actions have been taken in response to the
release:
1: Twin City Testing Corporation was retained to observe the removal of
10,000 -gallon fuel oil underground storage tank (UST).
2. Ground water was not encountered during the excavation.
3. During tank excavation, soil was scanned for the presence of organic vapors.
63 cubic yards of soil showing elevated levels of organic vapors were
excavated and stockpiled on site. The 63 cubic yards of soil was treated at
C.S. McCrossan in Maple Grove.
4. Organic vapors ranging from nondetect to 32 parts per million (ppm) were
detected on the sidewalls and base of the excavation after the soil was..
removed. Five soil samples were collected from the tank basin for
applicable chemical analyses. One sample was found to contain 950 ppm total
hydrocarbons (THC) as fuel oil. The remaining samples did not contain
levels of contaminants above the MPCA action levels.
5. Two soil borings were advanced. Organic vapor readings in one boring did
not exceed 8.4 ppm. A soil sample taken at 22 feet did not detect any
petroleum contaminants. No organic vapors were detected in the other
boring.

Based on the currently available information, we concur with the conclusions of
your consultant that these actions have adequately addressed the petroleum tank
release. Therefore, MPCA staff does not intend to require any more
investigation or cleanup work in response to this release. However, the MPCA
reserves the right to reopen this file and require additional work if in the
future more work is determined to be necessary, and this letter does not release
any party from liability for this contamination.
Because you performed the requested work, the state may reimburse you for a
major portion of your costs. The Petroleum Tank Release Cleanup Act establishes
a fund which in certain circumstances provides partial reimbursement for
petroleum tank release cleanup costs. This fund is administered by the
Petroleum Tank Release Compensation Board (Petro Board). More specific
eligibility rules are available from the Petro Board (612/297-4017).
Thank you for your cooperation with the MPCA in responding to this petroleum
tank release to protect the public health and the environment of the state of
Minnesota. If you have any questions regarding this correspondence, please call
me at 612/297-8581.

SUBJECT: LAND USE GUIDE PLAN MINOR AMENDMENT TO THE CITY OF PLYMOUTH
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN - "SEVEN PONDS 2ND ADDITION" (91062) AND
"BITOERIN" (91068)
Dear Mrs. Anderson:
Herewith, please find the described forms and supporting documentation related
to the captioned action approved by the City Council of the City of Plymouth
on December 18, 1989. Approved amendments to the Land Use Guide Plan Map
reclassified land to a variety of urban uses. We submitted this and other
materials to you under cover of our December 29, 1989, letter. We have been
working with your staff to clarify and provide information in response to the
analysis of the earlier pending application.
The first item submitted with this request is a 48.84 acre segment of the
December 29, 1989 application upon which a 91 lot subdivision is proposed for
single family detached homes. The Preliminary Plat for this subdivision has
been approved contingent upon Metropolitan Council approval of the Land Use
Guide Plan changes that were part of the December 18, 1989, City action.
The Land Use Guide Plan reclassification approved by the City Council for this
site specifies a reduction in the residential density from an allowable 3-5
units per acre to the C y Council approved density of 2-3 units per acre.
The development proposed by the plat for this site specifies a dwelling unit
density consistent with that range.
The second item submitted with this request is a 5.2 acre segment of the
December 29, 1989, application upon which a 9 lot subdivision is proposed for
single family detached homes. The Preliminary Plat for this subdivision has
been approved contingent upon Metropolitan Council approval of the Land Use
Guide Plan changes that were part of the December 18, 1989, City action.
The Land Use Guide Plan reclassification approved by the City Council for this
site specifies a reduction in the residential density from an allowable range
of 6-10 units per acre to the City Council approved density of 3-5 units per
acre. Development proposed by the plat for this site specifies a dwelling
unit density contingent with that range.
Both of these sites are serviced with municipal water and sewer.
These requests are similar to the circumstances to five previous application
approved by the Metropolitan Council on April 13, 1990 (as referral files

participation of community leaders in assessing and planning for transit services to best
meet local needs. While I will use some of our tirne togetner to update you on some

Two-way communication is necessary in the public decision-making process and I hope

As leaders of an environmental agency, I am eager to exchange ideas
with you, the leaders of the cities in or near our service area.
How will we approach new challenges together? What issues are most
important to you? What could we be doing better?
One issue holds particular mutual interest for the MWCC and cities.
You may know that the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and the
federal Environmental Protection Agency are currently studying the
possibility of requiring our agency to remove phosphorus from
wastewater before it is discharged. Paying for this new
requirement could force us to raise the rates we charge cities by
as much as 40%. We would like to discuss this and other issues
with you.
The focus of these meetings is more general than the budget
breakfasts we host each spring. They are an opportunity for you to
meet MWCC's policy makers, and our senior staff, and a chance for
us to gauge the pulse of the city's policy makers.
Please join us on one of the dates listed on the reverse side of
this letter. We look forward to seeing you there.
All meetings begin at 7:30 AM. Please RSVP to Sarah Kline at the
MWCC Office of Communications, 229-2129, at least three working
days before the meeting you plan to attend.

Dear Mayor:
The Plymouth Historical Society is pleased to suggest the following names for the new Plymouth
Post Office to be constructed at 45th Avenue North and Nathan Lane.
• Francis Huot Station
Francis Huot and his family located in Plymouth on November 15, 1854, north of Medicine
He Postmaster of the first post office which was located in his home in
Lake. was appointed
1859 and held the office for three years until succeeded by his brother, Louis.
• Antoine LeCount Station
First settler in Plymouth in October 1853, staking a claim on the east side of Medicine Lake.
• Sandhoff Station
I believe the property on where the post office is to be located was originally homesteaded
by a Gottfried Holmbeck on 160 acres in April 8, 1956. We have no information available on
how long he held the property, but maps around 1874 show the 160 acres belonging to
Sandhoff's in the area.
August Sandhoff. A number of the owned property
• Medicine Lake Station
Since the new Post Office is located north of Medicine Lake and in the vicinity of the first
post office, it may be appropriate to name it Medicine Lake Station. The majority of Medicine
Lake and its shoreline is in Plymouth, and I don't think it represents any particular conflict
with the Village of Medicine Lake. Medicine Lake is certainly a key geographical feature of
the area and played a significant role in the history of Plymouth and its settlement by early
pioneers.
• Rockford Road Station
The old Rockford Road in early times was a major thorough -fare in the development and
settlement of Plymouth.
• Lost Lake Station
This would be in reference to a small lake south of County Road 9.
This is a collection of ideas for names and represent historical people, places and roads that
have all had their place in history in the growth of Plymouth.
I have attached a copy of the Plymouth section of an 1881 History of Hennepin County.
Sincerely,
y�

PREFACE.
We live not alone in the present but also in the past and future. The
radius that circumscribes our lives must necessarily extend backward indefi-
nitely and forward infinitely. We can never look out thoughtfully at our im
mediate surroundings but a course of reasoning will start up leading us to
inquire the causes that produced the development around us, and at the same
time we are led to conjecture the results to follow causes now in operation.
We are thus linked indissolubly with the past and the future.
" Now for my life," says Sir Thomas Browne,- it is a miracle of thirty
years, which to relate were not a history, but a piece of poetry, and would
sound to common ears like a fable. * *I Men that look upon my outside,
perusing only my condition and fortune, do err in my altitude; for I am above
Atlas his shoulders. I take my circle to be above three hundred and sixty.
Though the number of the arc do measure my body, it comprehendeth not
my mind."
If, then, the past is not simply a stepping -stone to the future, but a part
of our very selves, we can not afford to ignore it, or separate it from ourselves,
as a member might be lopped off from our bodies; for though the body thus
maimed might perform many and perhaps most of its functions, still it could
never again be called complete.
We. therefore, present this volume to our patrons in Hennepin county,
-not as something extrinsic, to which we would attract their notice and secure
their favor, but as a part of themselves, and an important part, which it is the
province of the historian to re -invigorate and restore to its rightful owner.
Moveover, we can not but hope that we shall thus confer much pleasure.
The recounting of events which have transpired in our own neighborhood is
the most interesting of all history. There is a fascination in the study of the
intermingled fact and fiction of the past which is heightened by a familiarity
with the localities described. The writer remembers the glow of enthusiasm
with which he once stood at the entrance of the old fort at Ticonderoga, and
repeated the words of Ethan Allen: " In the name of the Great Jehovah and
the Continental Congress, etc." "The river which flows through our native
village acquires a new interest when, in imagination, we see the Indian canoe
on its surface and the skin -covered tepee on its banks, as in days of yore.
Log cabins, straw roofs, and the rude •' betterments " of the hardy pioneer,
are the next changes on the scene, followed soon by mushroom towns, some
of which perish as quickly as they spring up, while others astonish us by
their rapid growth; cities are built, and moss and ivy, the evidences of age,
soon accumulate. The log cabin and all the incipient steps of first settlement
are things of the past ;'The place which knew them shall know them no more
forever."
c4M OCT'�j
iv PREFACE.
Our purpose is to present these pictures in their natural succession,
arousing the enthusiasm of the reader, if possible, giving him a more vig-
orous enjoyment of the present by linking it with the past. The compass of
the work is wide, extending over a long period of time, embracing the accounts
of early explorers, also reaching back among the legends of the past, and
approaching the events of to -day, almost undesignedly casting a prophetic
glance forward at what must be the future after such a beginning.
St. Anthony Falls and the environs present an exceptionally rich field -
for a work of this character. By situation, it was the highway of travel for
Indian and white man, explorer, missionary, voyageur and trader. This was
the favorite hunting ground as well as the battle -field of our savage predeces-
sors. Here, too, they calmed their barbarous hearts, and bowed in worship
of the Manitou, whose abode was at the great water -fall.
Incidents connected with the early settlement derive interest from the
military reservation, and are unique in character. While reviewing these
events and enterprises inaugurated for the development of the county, we
come to regret that we can not claim the prestige belonging to the aristocracy
of early settlers.
To give in detail all the various sources from which the facts here given
have been obtained, would be tedious if not impracticable. It may be suffi-
cient to say that it fairly presents the history of our remarkable development
and a faithful picture of our present condition. We must, however, express
our obligations to a host of living witnesses, from whom a large portion of the
facts have been obtained and doubtful points verified; they have our hearty
thanks. Material has been drawn largely from the columns of newspapers,
which have given, from time to time, a record of passing events. The contri-
bution of Rev. Edward D. Neill will be of great permanent value in imperish-
able print, and will be greatly prized by histographers everywhere. We have
also drawn upon the accumulation of facts in the possession of the Minnesota
Historical Society, for a valuable paper by its secretary, Mr. J. Fletcher Wil-
liams. The value of a reservoir of historical data at the capital of the state,
for such purposes, was fully appreciated, and the maintenance of such a
centre of information can not be too strongly advocated.
In conclusion, we have an obligation to express to our patrons, and are _
pleased to acknowledge a liberal patronage and more than ordinary courtesy
toward our employees; for all of which we tender our hearty thanks. Hoping
that those who have subscribed for and are about to receive this volume, will
favor it with a kind reception. and take as much interest in reading as we
have in compiling the history of Hennepin county, we are, very respectfully,
Yours,
GEO. E. WARNER,
CHAS. M. FOOTE.

RoaTER—BI OGRAPHI CAL:
Plymouth is situated near the center of Henne-
pin county and comprises the congressional town-
ship of 118 north, range 22 west, fifth princi-
pal meridian. The surface is undulating, that
portion of the town around the north end of
Medicine Lake, being the most hilly. When first
settled, the west and north-west part was covered
with a heavy growth of timber, covering nearly
half of the town; the remaining portion being
covered by brush, with a few marshes that sup-
port a growth of tamarac. The principal woods
are maple, oak and elm, with a little ironwood,
ash and poplar. The soil generally is a clay
loam. Around Parker's Lake it is sandy, and in
some places gravelly. Sandy spots occur occa-
sionally in the north-east part_ The town is m_
terspersed with numerous lakes. Among them
is Medicine Lake, the largest, situated in the
south-east part of the town. It is a beautiful
body of water, about two miles long from north-
west to south-east, and nearly three-quarters of a
mile wide in the widest part. The south-east
shore is sandy, which with a sandy bottom makes
it an ezcelleui betting -place, and is much resorted
to for that purpose. At different places on the
east and west shores, the banks are quite high and
precipitous. The north and south ends are
marshy. Its outlet is Bassett's Creek, which
flows out of the south end and passes out of the
town at the south-east corner and empties into
the Mississippi at Minneapolis. The lake derives
its name from an Indian legend, which says that an
Indian in his canoe was capsized by a suddeu
storm, and the Indians not being able to find his
body, gave it the name of Medicine Lake. Bass
Lake is in section 2, and covers about one hund-
red and fifty acres, with an island of several acres
in the center. Its shores are marshy, and its out-
let is Bass Lake Creek, which leaves the lake
from its north-east corner, flows eastwardly out of
the town and empties into Shingle Creek in the
south-west part of Brooklyn. It received its
name from the large number of bass, they being

almost the only fish that swim in its waters.
It was named by Antoine Le Count.
Parker's Lake situated in the southern part
of section 28, and northern part of section 33,
covering about one hundred acres, is a clear and
beautiful sheet of water, with sandy- shores and a
bard bottom. The other lakes in the town are
more or less marshy, and small.
FIRST SETTLEMENT
Antoine Le Count was the first settler in the i
town, coming in October, 1853, and locating on
the east shore of Medicine Lake, on section 2I,
where be now lives. Antoine Le Connt is one of
those men whose adventurous life deserves a record '
that should be preserved for the benefit of the on- i
coming generations—a record, commencing with
the primitive history of the Northwest, and ex-
tending over the eventful scenes that have been en-
acted during a half century. The writer of this ar-
ticle feels it to be a pleasing duty to give in Urief j
the facts in his possession connected with this ad-
venturous traveler, guide, and daring explorer,
only regretting that the limits allotted to this work
will not allow a more detailed account of the man
whose history is so closely interwoven with that
of the Northwest. Arid, as the object most sin-
cerely sought for in this work, is to give a succinct
and truthful statement of all the facts with which
it has to deal, the reader will not do the writer
the violence to think that he is reading aught but
historic truths, as be follows the history of An-
toine Le Count and his father. The latter was a
guide in the earl- days of the Territory, carrying the
mail from the Red River country to points south;
also carrying with him fancy trinkets and wam-
pum, made by the Indians, taking them to St.
Louis, and trading or selling them for horses, or
whatever his shrewd mind suggested would pay
him to bring back to the Red River country. By
this means lie accumulated quite a fortune.
Among the early French settlers, be was known
by the name of Le Gros. He took Pierre Bottin-
eau, when he was about twelve years old, into
his family, and trained him to be the guide that
afterward made him famous. Antoine was bony
on the Minnesota side of the Red River, near the
International boundary line, November 6th, 1822.
In the summer of 1837, be came with his father
to Fort Snelling, remaining until September fol-
829
lowing, when he returned to his home on Red
River. His father, in connectiow witb Franklin
Steele, made a claim on the east side of the Mis-
sissippi River, at the falls, including Nicollet Is-
land. The following June he started for his claim,
from Red River, with his family. With them
was a gentleman by the name of Thomas Simpson,
who was in great baste to get through, and
did not wish to take the time necessary to
go around by Lac qui Parle, and offered
Le Count a tempting price to pilot him across
the country in as nearly a direct line as possible.
Le Count accepted the proposition, and gave
Pierre Bottineau charge of the party containing
his family, Pierre Bottineau's, and others, taking
besides himself and Mr. Simpson, his son An-
toine, who was nearly seventeen years old, and
two others, five in all, and started across. \i -ben
about a day and a half on their journey,11r.
Simpson showed signs of insanity, but did not
appear to be dangerous. About sundown the
fourth day out, while they were preparing to go
i into camp, Mr. Simpson seized a double-barrelled
shotgun, and, without a moments warning, shot
Mr. Le Count and one of the men. The shots
i followed each other so rapidly that the survivors
thought but one shot had been fired. Le Count
did not die immediately. but, knowing his end
was near at hand. called his son Antoine to hint
and told him he was going to die. giving him
instructions how, and what direction to take, to
reach the train his mother was with, and to run
for his life before Mr. Simpson had time to reload.
The hired man had already disappeared, and
young Antoine, with trembling anxiety, watched
his opportunity, and made his escape. He had
not gone far when he heard Mr. Simpson calling:
,,Jim! Jim!!*' (the hired man 1; he wanted hnn
to take him back. In the meantime. Antoine had
found Jim, and they proceeded together. When
about a mile from their recent camp. they heard a
gun and concluded the unfortunate man had
killed himself. (They subsequently found that he
had shot at and wounded one of the horses.)
Urging their horses to their utmost speed, and
following the track advised by his father, they
struck the train trail of Pierre Bottineau about
daylight, having come about fifty miles. In a
short time they were in camp, and told their
story. Pierre Bottineau took a party and went

back to the scene. When be reached it he found
the unfortunate Simpson had added his own life
to those of his two victims, by blowing his bead
entirely to pie(". The bodies of Le Count
and the other man, were brought back and taken
to Red River, and there buried. Mr. Simpson's
bode was left on the spot.
The train then moved forward on its road,
and reached Fort Snelling about the middle of
July 1838. Antoine and mother remained there
until the following spring, when they moved to
Pigs Eye, where be remained about a year. From
that time he was a rover, moving from place to
place as fancy or work dictated, until he settled
in Plymouth, in October 1853. With Antoine
Le Count came Peter Daniels, who made his claim
adjoining Le Count, on the north, but did not set-
tle until the year following.
Almost simultaneously with Antoine Le Count,
came Thomas Hughes and family into this wil-
derness, the lurking place of Shakopee and his
Sioux band. No roads were known other than the
wild Indians trail. But with a fixed purpose be-
fore him, this hardy and intelligent pioneer has
conquered every obstacle, and now in his riper
years. is enjoying all the comforts of a good home
and the confidence of his fellow citizens, with his
enterprising sous, James. Henry, Charles and Ed-
ward around him, all possessing the indomitable
will of the father. They have built for themselves
nice homes and rank with Plymouth's respected
citizens.
Francis Huot and G. D. Bncwley came during
the winter. Mr. Huot making a claim on the
north end of :Medicine Lake, Mr.Brawley adjoining
him on the west. .-Neither settled at that time,
but made some improvements and returned to
Saint Anthony. Mr. Brawley sold his claim to
a^t-� Mr. E. Boucher, and Mr. Huot returned with his
family, November 15th, 1854. Following these
two was Charles Mouseau, who made a claim join-
ing Le Count on the south, did not move on
it, but made a few improvements. At the same
time with Mr. Huot. came David Gorham, Joseph
Jam e, George Burbeir and Edward Burke.
Gorham settling on section 17, the first of March
1854. and moved his family in September 1855. Mr.
Jamme selected the west half of section 17, as his
claim. put up a shanty and moved his family in Oc-
tober, that year, Mr. Burbeir took his claim on the
north-east quarter of section 8, put up a shanty
the following fall, and moved his family in the
spring of 1855; lived on it about a year then
moved back to Saint Anthony, and now lives in
Anoka. Mr. Burke made his claim on section 17,
built a shanty, made some improvements, but be-
ing a single man, had no regular habitation, but
teamed back and forth from Saint Anthony.
He married in 1855, and moved to his place, lived
there about a year, sold out and moved to Saint
Anthony.
Israel Michaud made a claim about the same
time; lived on it a few years; sold, and moved to
Medina, but subsequently moved back to Ply-
mouth, where be was killed while hauling lumber
in the summer of 1877. In May, 1854, Jonas H.
Howe came and made a claim on section 22.
Henry L. Moses came in July following, and
made his claim on the west side of section 22, living
on it a few years. be now lives in Dakota county.
Earl• in 1854, C. W. Farrington made his claim
Oil section 15, and moved his family on to it in
March. ]BSi; subsequently kept a hotel for a num-
ber of years. Samuel Merchant made his claim in
September. 18M. and moved his family to it, the
following May. In the fore part of October. 1854,
came three Parker brothers. 1. S., C. D. and Alfred,
and settled around Parker's Lake. Alfred is now
living in Crystal Lake, 1. S. in Anoka county, and
C. D. is still a resident of Plymouth. Henry Col-
lins and John Carne came a little later. James
Berube made his claim in December, IM4, but
did not move on to it with his family until No-
vember, 1855. During the summer of 1854, came
James Hughes and family, and settled where
they now live. The settlement was quite rapid
in 1855. Among those coming were Herman +�—
Sandhoff, Francis Day, Charles Tolman, Amos
Hoyt and wife, D. C. Parker, wife and his father,
the Rev. James Parker. The wife of the latter died
in St. Anthony; of cholera, while en route, and
was buried on the site of the present city of Min-
neapolis.
In June. 1858. the Chippewa Indians made a
raid on their deadly enemies, the Sioux, met
them at Shakopee, b*d a fight, and were badly
defeated. Upon their return, they passed through
the town, doing bodily injury to no one, but stole
and killed what they wanted to eat. They shot
a pair of steers for I. S. Parker, and Amos Hoyt,

and emptied D. C. Parker's corn crib, wounded a
cow, and stole a few more things from others.
As they were on the verge of starvation, the
whites concluded that it was no more than they
would do themselves under like . circumstances,
and did not molest them. Besides, it may be
that a wholesome regard for their own safet,'
arose to the surface quietly, but not to that ex-
tent which under the circumstances made it neces-
sary to boast loudly of, so, Lo, and his plunder
departed in peace, but not without leaving many
hearts fluttering with twinges of fear and doubt
for their safety. A military company of twenty was
formed, with Charles Tolman for captain, who
received their guns from Saint Paul, and for
two weeks the women and children were collected
together in one house at night, while the men
stood guard outside. Hearing there was a
body of Sioux massing in the north part of the
town, Captain Tolman, with his men, went iii
search, but found no traces of tbem. It was sup-
posed to have been a scare gotten up b� one
James Moody, who lived in that part of the town.
and it came near costing him his life. Other
parties subsequently found traces that j5how'ed
the Indians had passed through, near where be
had indicated he had seen them. This quieted
their anger, and ended the disturbance.
The first birth in town, was a child to D. C.
Parker and wife, April 25th, 1855, two days after
their arrival in the town. It lived but two or three
days. A boy, Frank, was born to Amos lIoyt
and wife, July 25th, following. and December
25th, same year, twins were born to F. A. Clay
and wife, then living on section 33.
The first death that occurred was that of a child
belonging to Antoine Le Count, which was caused
by overturning a kettle of hot water, in December,
1853.
The Rev. James Parker was the first justice of
the peace, appointed January 1st, 1856. His son,
D. C. Parker, was appointed in 1857. Mr. Fran-
cis Huot was appointed the same year, but never
qualified.
The first marriage was Jean Bourgeoise to Miss
Rose Rouilliar.
The first school in the town was established in
the summer of 1856, in a little shanty belonging

OBOAirrzATION.
The first meeting for the purpose of forming a
town organization, was called at the house of
Francis Day, on the 11th day of May,1858. The
meeting was organized by electing G. W. Mes-
senger for Moderator, and J. H. Howe, Clerk,
The room being too small to accommodate them,
the meeting was adjourned to the hotel kept by
Mr. C. W. Farrington, on section 15. The fol-
lowing officers were elected: Supervisors, Fran-
cis Huot, chairman, D. C. Parker and Francis
Gorham; Town Clerk, J. H. Howe; Assessor,
Francis Day; Collector, Charles Tolman; Over-
seer of the Poor, Eustache Boucher; Constables,
Phillip Otto and Alfred Jordan; Justices of the
Peace, F. A. Clay and William Karson.
At a meeting of the county board April 10th,
1858, for the purpose of establishing the bounda-
ries of the townships in the county, the congres-
sional town of 118-22 was named Plymouth, and
the first meeting w'as called under that name.
which produced a great deal of dissatisfaction on
the part of some of the voters, and another meet-
ing was called for June 21st, 1858, which met at
the hotel kept by C. IC. Farrington. After con-
siderable discussion a vote was taken, which
resulted in favor of Medicine Lake, for the name
of the town. The next meeting was held at the
school house in district No. 51, April 5th, 1859,
and the call was issued under the name of Medi-
cine Lake, and the business transacted under
that name. The following year. April 8d, 1860.
the meeting was held under the name of Plym-
outh, no records showing when or bow the
change was effected. The county officials never
recognized the name of Medicine Lake, and the
name reverted back to that given it by the
county board. The name was taken from a vil-
lage. called Plymouth, laid out on the north and
west shores of Parker's Lake, in 1856.
The following is a copy of the minutes of two
meetings held in the town in 1862: " Agreeable
to a call of the citizens of the town, met at the
bouse of Francis Day on Monday, the 18th day of
August, 1862, to devise means to raise its quota of

VILLAGE.
The site for the village of Plymouth was lo-
cated on the north and west shores of Parker's
I Lake, in the fall of 1856. It was laid out by
Jared and Daniel Demon and Messrs. Sherburne,
Davie, Davidson and Spicer. They bought the
Wayzata Mill and moved it to the north-west
corner of Parker's Lake. No other improvements
were made excepting the erecting of small shan-
ties for the mill hands; the mill was operated
that winter. In the spring the water in the lake
rose and flooded the mill. The next summer
the machinery was taken out, and later to Min-
neapolis, and thus ended the village of Plym-
outh.
CHURCHES.
! The Plymouth Methodist Church. This so -
iciety was organized in 1868, and a church built
on the north side of Parker's Lake. The first
services were conducted by Rev. Charles Haskell.

at that time the membership included about
forty families. When the cburch in CrystalLak-e
was built a few years later, it took part of the
membership. In the spring of 1877, the present
church was built. The main building is 36x50
feet, with an addition 16x18, and another 12x1.1
feet. In its present unfinished condition, it will
seat two hundred; when completed it will accom-
modate four hundred.' When completed will cost

Minutes of the Park and Recreation Advisory Commission Meeting
October 10, 1991
Page 37
Present: Commissioners Anderson, Johnson, Waage and Wahl; staff Bisek, Blank,
Greupner and Pederson
Absent: Freels, Gutzke, Watson
1. CALL TO ORDER
Acting Chair Anderson called the meeting to order at 7 p.m. in the Council
Conference Room.
2. APPROVAL OF MINUTES
A motion was made by Commissioner Wahl and seconded by Commissioner
Johnson to approve the minutes of the September 12 and July 23 meetings as
presented. The motion carried with all ayes.
3. VISITOR PRESENTATIONS
a. Athletic Associations. None were present at this meeting.
b. Staff. Karol Greupner, Recreation Specialist, introduced herself to
the Commission and stated she has lived in Plymouth for 16 years.
Prior to working for Plymouth Park and Recreation, she worked for the
Chaska recreation department. She worked for Plymouth in the late
70's and early 80's as a fitness instructor, and in 1989 was hired as
a part-time recreation specialist, supervising and coordinating pre-
school programs, the summer concert series, the adult getaway trips,
pedestrian club and one-time workshops on things such as arts and
crafts. She also co -coordinates the Music for Everyone program, which
offers private piano, voice, guitar, clarinet and saxaphone lessons,
and is offered in Plymouth as well as several other surrounding
communities. A new program she is responsible for introducing to
Plymouth is a "Happy Birthday Party," offered for four to six year
olds. This activity is held at Parkers Lake - Pavilion on Friday
afternoons, 4-6 p.m. Entertainment is provided by the "leader," and
the parents provide the party decorations, refreshments and gifts.
Karol wrote, and was awarded, an $1,800 state arts grant to help fund
the International Folk Arts Festival, which will be held at Wayzata
East Jr. High on Saturday, March 21, 1992. It will feature five
different ethnic troupes performing throughout the day, as well as
ethnic folk artists who will be displaying and selling their crafts
and ethnic foods.
Another new program Karol is establishing is the Corporate Fitness
Challenge, which involves fitness competition among the employees of
companies located in Plymouth. Employees compete against other
employees within the company for fitness points, and then companies of
the same size will compete against each other.
The Employees of the Month are two individuals Karol supervises, Jan
Burkhartzmeyer and Julie Ylinen, a pre-school teacher and a Hennepin
= 3

County librarian. They teach the pre-school specials for ages 3-5,
offered once per month throughout the year. Some of the class titles
have included Creepy Crawlers, Dinosaur Search, Jungle Safari, and
coming up this month and next, Halloween Hobgoblins and Plymouth
Pilgrims. Two sessions are offered each month, usually on a Saturday
morning, and almost always fill to their capacity of 20.
Mary gave a brief rundown of some of the programs coming up this fall
and winter, including the Goblin Walk scheduled for October 19, which
is co-sponsored for the first time this year by T.J. Maxx. The Goblin
Walk relies on the help of about 50 volunteers, several of whom are
juniors and seniors at Armstrong High School. Our Gym, Swim & Movie
event is scheduled for Thursday and Friday, October 17 & 18, at
Wayzata East Jr. High. These are school release days for Osseo,
Robbinsdale and Wayzata schools. This year, in order to accommodate
families living in north Plymouth, we will provide free van service,
with pick-up at Zachary Elementary. Our 4th Annual Old Fashioned
Christmas event is scheduled for Sunday, December 8, and the fourth
annual Fire & Ice Festival is scheduled for Saturday, February 1,
1992. The first organizational meeting for the Fire & Ice Festival is
set for Wednesday, October 16, 4 p.m., and Mary invited commissioners
to attend if their schedules permit.
Mary announced that the annual MRPA conference is coming up in
November. The board and commission workshop is scheduled for Nov. 20.
Mary had several statistics to report on summer programs. Classes
offered in June, July and August totaled 287, of which 223 were
actually held, with a total participation of 3,469. Swimming classes
totaled 105, with 648 children participating at Wayzata East. Over
5,400 children attended the summer puppet shows. Eighteen non -
swimming programs were contractually offered for the City of Wayzata,
with nine of them running. Sixty Wayzata residents participated in
the tennis program, and 596 enrolled in the swimming lessons offered
at Wayzata West. Visitors at Parkers Lake beach totaled 31,168 with
17,188 patrons visiting East Medicine Lake beach. The Wayzata belch
had a total count of 33,231.

4. REPORT ON PAST COUNCIL ACTION
Three bids were received for the construction of the neighborhood park
improvements, with the lowest being $288,000. The Council deferred
awarding the bid, however, until after the Housing and Redevelopment
Authority can hold a public hearing on the use of HUD money for 1992.
That hearing is scheduled for November 7. Following that, Council may
award the bid, but it is not expected that any major work on these three
parks will get underway this year. Some dirt fill has been hauled into
both Shiloh and Gleanloch parks, and some trees have been removed from the
10th Avenue park site.
Barber Construction is making excellent progress on the six trail projects
and is expected to be finished by October 18 with all but one segment.

Shingobee Builders hopes to have the Bass Lake Playfield completed by
November 8, except for seed and sod. Crews have also been very busy at
Parkers Lake playfield and are making good progress. The tunnel running
under County Road 6, which connects the playfield to the City park, is
expected to be open by October 25.
Bids will be opened on October 15 for the restoration of the silos at
Parkers Lake playfield and also for the installation of lights at the
Parkers Lake skating rinks.
As part of the 1991 capital improvement program, new bridges are being
installed in Four Seasons and Fazendin neighborhood parks.
Director Blank has been negotiating with Tom Forester for the purchase of
his property west of Zachary Playfield. Mr. Forester is anxious to have
this settled by January 1, and Eric is confident this can be done. The
Council previously authorized these negotiations.
The City Council will be appointing a water quality task force to deal
with issues such as milfoil. Eighty more acres of milfoil has been
discovered in Medicine Lake. Milfoil now also surrounds the entire
perimeter of Parkers Lake. Parkers will be treated with a new chemical
next spring called Sonar, known to kill milfoil. It is not harmful to
fish.
5. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
a. Review of field rental policy. Continuing the discussion started at
last months meeting, Director Blank offered three possible options for
charging youth athletic associations. Option 1 would be to continue
with the current rental policy with some slight modifications, option
2 would be to drop all fees, and option 3 would involve charging for
extra -ordinary maintenance items, such as field striping. Director
Blank reminded the Commission that the rental policy has been in
effect since 1982, and came about as a result of the report prepared
by the Mayor's Task Force on Park and Recreation Program Finar.cing, a
copy of which was provided to each commissioner. Because of the high
demand for use -of our facilities, it was decided this past year, that
only Plymouth groups could rent our fields.
It was the consensus of the commissioners present that a fee of some
kind is fair and reasonable for youth associations running tournaments
on Plymouth fields. Mark Wahl recommended that the City continue with
the current policy of a basic rental fee, plus charging for extra-
ordinary maintenance.
A MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER ANDERSON AND SECONDED BY
COMMISSIONER WAAGE TO RECOMMEND TO COUNCIL THAT THE CITY CONTINUE TO
CHARGE YOUTH ATHLETIC ASSOCIATIONS AS THEY HAVE IN THE PAST.
Tom Johnson feels that Plymouth's current fees are excessive and
should be reduced somewhat. He pointed out that the survey presented
last month showed that Plymouth charged more than any other city to
run a similar tournament. He believes that the soccer association
=_3
October 1991 PRAC Minutes
Page 40
should be charged no more than $1,000 to run their tournament.
Commissioner Anderson withdrew his motion at this point, because
discussion was strongly favoring reducing the basic rental fee.
Director Blank suggested that the Commission might want to choose a
specific dollar figure for an hourly rental rate.
Mary Bisek commented that the Plymouth -Wayzata Soccer Club made a
choice last summer to run a tournament that called for three extra
fields and the use of lights. They have the option to reduce their
costs by scaling down the tournament and not using extra fields and
playing only during daylight hours.
A MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER WAAGE AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER
JOHNSON TO RECOMMEND THAT THE COUNCIL APPROVE A RENTAL POLICY FOR
1992, WHICH LOWERS THE HOURLY RATE FOR YOUTH ASSOCIATIONS TO $5 PER
HOUR, BUT CHARGES 100% OF THE DIRECT COSTS FOR EXTRA MAINTENANCE. THE
MOTION CARRIED WITH FOUR AYES.
Director Blank briefly reviewed the Joint Powers Agreement with School
Dist. 284 that was established in 1973 to govern the use of school
facilities. In 1984, a supplementary agreement was established for
the tennis courts at Oakwood and Wayzata East, which stated, among
other things, that the City could charge for any costs incurred to
operate said tennis courts, as long as the City did not charge the
School District for district sponsored activities during school hours.
A second supplementary, agreement was signed in April, 1980, for the
Oakwood playfield facilities. In reference to the committee that was
to have formed, Director Blank indicated that said committee has never
formally met as far as he knows.
The recommendation made at the September meeting on eliminating the $5
non-resident fee, and the recommendation made at this meeting on
lowering the tournament rental fees, will be in a report that will be
presented to the Council on October 21. Director Blank will inform
the youth athletic association representatives of this meeting.
Commissioner Waage and Wahl said they would try to attend theCou.icil
meeting, and Director Blank will also talk to Commissioners Freels,
Gutzke and Watson. Commissioners Johnson and Anderson both have
previous engagements on October 21.

Director Blank asked if the commissioners had any topics they would like
to address at future meetings, because he did not have any pressing items
at this time for the November or December agendas. He stated that Strgar-
Roscoe-Fausch is preparing a report on sidewalks and trails, which may be
ready by the November meeting, in which case PRAC could meet to discuss
that report.

SUBJECT: CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE CALL
Edith Palmer, 10755 - 41st Avenue North, called the 24 -Hour
Customer Service Line with a complaint about the City's penalty
for reissued false alarms.
Ms. Palmer noted that with the cost of a reissued false alarm at
$200, she was forced to call her security system to discontinue
the monitoring service for her home alarm system.
Ms. Palmer said that false alarms are a serious problem and that
individuals need to work hard to prevent them. However, she
noted that no system is foolproof. She added that because the
police cannot protect all of the citizens, many chose to try to
protect themselves by installing alarm systems and she does not
think that citizens should be penalized for trying to protect
themselves.
Please respond to Ms. Palmer by October 25 and forward a copy of
your response to me so that I may include it in my log of calls
for the Customer Service Line.
Thanks.

PROBLEM: Ms. Palmer that she had just sent in a sizable check
to Hennepin County for the second half of her property
taxes, ,"for the privilege of living in Plymouth," and
had also just called her security system to
discontinue the monitoring service for her home alarm
system. She did this because she noted that the cost
for a second false alarm is $200 in Plymouth.
Ms. Palmer said that she is forced to have an alarm
system because the police cannot protect all the
citizens. She does not believe that citizens should
be penalized for trying to protect themselves.
SOLUTION: The call was referred to Police Chief Dick Carlquist

SUBJECT: CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE COMPLAINT REGARDING FALSE ALARM
PENALTY FEES
Dear Ms. Palmer:
I am writing this letter to you to clarify your concern about the
reason behind the false alarm ordinance in general; and, in
particular the issue that you raise relative to alarms at your
home.
First of all, a reissued alarm permit for a false fire alarm is
$100, and subsequent reissued permits are $200. The charges for
police false alarms start at $50 and increase in increments of
$25 for each chargeable alarm, up through the sixth reissued
permit. At that point on, each reissued permit is $200.
In analyzing your record for false alarms, I find the following:
you had three false police alarms in 1990. Two of them occurred
during thunderstorms, and for the third alarm there was no reason
established. There were no monetary charges in 1990.
In 1991, we have recorded the following false police alarms:
March 28th - unknown/secure - letter sent advising of first
chargeable alarm - no fee
May 28th - thunderstorm - no charge
June 7th - unknown/secure - $50 charge
October 6th - unknown/secure - $75 charge - (keyholder said they
had just left for church)
It is possible that you may have an solder model alarm system,
thereby making it more susceptible to storms than most. However,
we do not charge for responses when they are caused by acts of
nature.
I would suggest that you have ADT check out your system and, if
necessary, upgrade it. They could also explain to you in more
detail how your system works, and how each of the various sensors
respond to the way that you use your master control.

We are not against the use of alarms. In fact, we encourage
police and fire alarm systems! The problem obviously is
responding to 99.5% false alarms every year. When you add them
all up for the entire City, this means approximately 2,000
responses by police and fire personnel to false alarms. I will
not belabor the point on the financial and psychological costs
associated with responding time and time again to false alarms.
We have found that false alarms can be drastically reduced by
appropriate maintenance of systems, upgrading systems to the
latest technology, and alarm user education. I do not wish to
have you feel that we are penalizing you because you have an
alarm system and are trying to protect yourself. I firmly
believe that you can have an alarm system that will work to both
of our benefit. I ask that you reconsider your decision to
discontinue your home alarm system.
By the way, thank you for using our customer service line. We
truly value your comments.

Dear Officer Beniek:
I want to take a moment to thank you and the
Plymouth Police Department for your help
with the 1991 Tour de French.
Despite the rain, of which there was plenty,
the Tour was a great success. There were
almost 400 participants in the event, not
including vendors and performers.
I can not say enough about the great job
that you and the Plymouth Police Reserves
did. With all four routes converging in
Plymouth, your City certainly had the
"lion's share" of the bicycle traffic.
Hennepin Parks staff and Tour participants
commented on the amount of support and the
quality of support that Plymouth provided.
We are already meeting and planning the 1992
Tour de French. We hope to make it an
annual event, and your continued support
would be greatly appreciated. If you have
any comments or suggestions regarding the
Tour, please call me.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Carlquist:
On Tuesday of last week, October 8, 1991, I was stopped by office Forslund, Badge #21, for
apparently speeding. I proceeded to get out of the car and present my license to her. I was asked
to get back in the car which I stated I would rather stand outside.
My car was located in the Radisson parking lot and several guests who were staying at the hotel
asked what was going on. Because I did not get back in my car, the officer called me a "dink".
As far as I am concerned that form of verbal approach is totally unexcusable.
I would like to discuss this issue in greater detail prior to the next step in the process. I can be

Ladies and Gentlemen:
On behalf of the St. Bartholomew's Parent Teacher Organization, I
presented a request for funding of the D.A.R.E. program for our
6th grade class at your Open Forum on September 16, 1991. We
submitted letters from the Principal and 6th Grade teacher at
that time.
Our school is made up of 60% Plymouth residents, who all pay
taxes to the City of Plymouth and do not use the Public Schools,
but we want our children to have the D.A.R.E. program. We know
the program is being taught at the Sunnyhollow School in New Hope
because some of the children are Plymouth residents. We believe
our 6th grade class could be facilitated by the officer
presenting the program to the one 6th grade class at Kimberly
Lane.
We are requesting the D.A.R.E program for St. Bartholowmew's
School only. We understand the budgeting process is at hand and
would appreciate a favorable response.
Thank you.

CITY PROJECT NO. 011
Dear John:
On September 25, 1991 the City submitted supplemental information
concerning the above referenced permit application. In discussing this
application with Ceil Strauss last week she stated that a draft permit
would be prepared by the end of this month. In accordance with the
process which DNR has committed to, a public information meeting would
then be held on the draft permit in mid-November. DNR would then allow
a five to seven day written comment period and then would prepare the
final permit.
A major portion of the undeveloped property north of the Soo Line
Railroad is owned by Vern Reynolds Construction Company. This
undeveloped property is impacted by either alternate alignment as
included with the City's evaluation. Mr. Reynolds has submitted a final
plat for all of this undeveloped property which was considered by the
Plymouth City Council on October 7.
In accordance with State law, the City must act to approve or deny a
final plat within 60 days or it is automatically approved. It was the
City staff's recommendation to deny the final plat approval since we did
not have a determination on our permit application from DNR. Also, the
property owner had not waived the 60 day approval period.
At the Council meeting, Mr. Reynolds was represented by his attorney,
Lawrence Marofsky. He was requesting the City Council approval of the
final plat since a preliminary plat had been approved over a year ago.
He also stated that if the plat is not approved by December 31 and is
filed with the County after January 1, 1992, all of the 1992 taxes will
have to be prepaid. The City Council acknowledged that the City staff
had committed to the Environmental Quality Board (EQB) that the staff
would recommend that the City Council not take any action which would
preclude any alignments for Northwest Boulevard. After considerable
discussion, the property owner agreed to extend the 60 day review period
to and including December 16.

The City Council did adopt a motion to defer the final plat request up
to and including December 16 and to direct staff to notify the DNR that
the Council intends to consider the final plat request for Bass Lake
Terrace 2nd Addition on December 16.
In accordance with the schedule established for our DNR permit, the
decision of the DNR should be made before December 1. This will allow
the City Council to consider your decision as part of the final plat
consideration at the December 16 meeting. This is our last regularly

Dear Mr. Pflaum:
RE: Petroleum Tank Release Site Closure
Site: Churchill Farms -Lot 4, Block 2, 19010 County Road 24, Plymouth
Site ID#: LEAK00004311
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) staff has determined that the
cleanup performed in response to the petroleum tank release at the site
referenced above has adequately addressed the petroleum contamination, and
therefore the file regarding this release will be closed.
On July 25, 1991, a petroleum tank release was reported to the MPCA. Since
then, the following corrective actions have been taken in response to the
release:
1. GME Consultants, Inc. was retained to investigate a release from a 150
gallon fuel oil tank that had been removed at some time during the previous
month, re -buried on the site, then removed a second time.
2. Eight test pits were excavated on the site. Ground water was not
encountered during the excavation of these pits.
3. During excavation of the test pits, soil was scanned for the presence of
organic vapors. Organic vapors ranged from 3 parts per million (ppm) to 30
ppm in TP -1, TP -2 and TP -3. No organic vapors were detected in the other
five test pits. No soil was excavated, however, it is estimated that 10
cubic yards of contaminated soil remain.
4. A soil sample was collected from TP -1, TP -2 and TP -3 for applicable chemical
analyses. 9.2 ppm total hydrocarbons as fuel oil was detected in the sample
from TP -2. No other petroleum contaminants were detected.
Based on the currently available information, we concur with the conclusions of
your consultant that these actions have adequately addressed the petroleum tank
release. Therefore, MPCA staff does not intend to require any more
investigation or cleanup work in response to this release. However, the MPCA
reserves the right to reopen this file and require additional work if in the
future more work is determined to be necessary, and this letter does not release
any party from liability for this contamination.,16 �\
