CITY COUNCIL INFORMATIONAL ISMO April 12, 1991 Page 3 2. STATUS REPORT - PURCHASE OF PROPOSED LIBRARY SITE -- Dan Wilson has provided Frank Boyles with a status report on his efforts. On Monday, April 8, Mr. Wilson telephoned the Cavanaughs. Mrs. Cavanaugh answered and indicated that she would ask Mr. Cavanaugh to come to the phone. When she returned, she stated he was on the other phone. Thereafter, Mr. Wilson telephoned the Cavanaughs periodically from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. The phone was off the hook. On Tuesday, April 9, Mr. Wilson visited the Cavanaugh residence in person. He finally met Mr. Cavanaugh. From the discussion, it was apparent that Mr. Cavanaugh has a number of concerns about the purchase proposal and does not necessarily trust the City. Mr. Wilson attempted to set up a second meeting to actually discuss a purchase price. Mr. Cavanaugh stated that he wanted his son and another individual present at any such negotiations. Mr. Wilson indicated that he would write Mr. Cavanaugh a letter, offering different dates and times the week of April 15. He will advise Mr. Cavanaugh that there is a deadline, in hopes of ensuring that no further delay takes place. A copy of Mr. Wilson's letter is attached. (I-2) 3. TRANSIT LEGISLATION -- On Thursday, April 4, Frank Boyles and Mayor Bergman attended a legislative meeting at the State Office Building on the subject of House File 1021, Senate File 1140. The meeting was attended by legislators from opt out communities, opt out community staff members and RTB representatives. The focus of the meeting was on problems which opt out communities have experienced with the Regional Transit Board. Legislators in attendance were very concerned about RTB expenditures, especially with respect to contributions to the Special Olympics, and a trip to Europe to observe light rail transit systems. There was also a brief review of the proposed legislation which would make the opt out communities accountable to the Legislature and not to the Regional Transit Board. The legislation would authorize any opt out community, upon request, to receive its full 90 percent of the transit taxing levy. At present, the Regional Transit Board has the authority to review any budget request against their service standards and to establish caps on budgetary increases. At the conclusion of the meeting, legislators confirmed that it was their intent to carry the legislation forward. Various opt out communities agreed to testify at committee hearings on this subject. From the staff's perspective, we have been concerned that the proposed legislation creates a special class of municipality, subject to little or no oversight. Since this is not sound public policy, we have taken a low profile on this issue. (I-3) CITY COUNCIL INFORMATIONAL MEMO April 12, 1991 Page 4 4. 1991 TRANSIT CAPITAL FUND CONTRACT -- Attached is a staff report to the Regional Transit Board Administration and Finance Committee, requesting approval of an $80,000 Capital Fund Contract for Plymouth.

We intend to bid the bus pullovers at the Four Seasons Mall Park and Ride lot, together with the 1991 Street Reconstruction Program.

V1 1L -VL doQ� rvo This will confirm our discussion at your home on 4/9/91, 1 stopped by your home to request a meeting with you to discuss the City of Plymouth's interest in your property on the northeast corner of State Highway 55 and Vicksburg Lane in Plymouth. You explained your resistance to meet with me was based upon an assumption that my role was to help build a case for the condemnation attorney. I assured you that I saw my role as one of trying to arrive at what I can recommend as a fair settlement to both you and the City. I see my job as one of trying to avoid condemnation. You said that you would feel most comfortable if your son and previous business partner could be present when we meet. I said that I have no problem with whomever you might choose to be present. My concern has more to do with the timing. I explained that just as I am committed to being fair with you, I also must be fair to the City. I do feel compelled to tell the City if I don't believe that I can offer any kind of solution to this situation. Therefore, I must be able to demonstrate to the City and myself that I can at least open up the lines of communication. To that end. I am requesting that we meet anytime at your convenience next week. I will call you on Monday in hopes of setting up a specific time to meet. Sin rely, Daniel H. Wilson Acquisition Specialist cc: Frank Boyles DHW/bg P.O. Box 204. Waconia, MN S IR7 a nu:,.., /L,11 ..o A— ____ CIF PPp 1211 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY House File 1021 Senate File 1140 SOLNHWESr METRO TRANS/T Re: Amendments to opt -out transit bill, providing financial assistance to and the administration transit service programs. BACKGROUND 7600 Executive Drive Eden Prairie, MN 55344 (612) 934-7928 for of opt -out The original opt -out transit bill was passed to provide for the creation of local transit services in those parts of the metropolitan area that were either lightly served or not served by the regional transit system. It provided that up to ninety percent of the transit taxes collected within the jurisdiction of the opt -out area could be used to fund the local opt -out transit system. It further provided for the Regional Transit Board (RTB) to provide regional oversight of opt -out transit systems. To date five opt -out systems have been established. They are: Southwest Metro Transit (Eden Prairie, Chanhassen and Chaska); Shakopee Area Transportation (Shakopee); Plymouth Metrolink (Plymouth); Maple Grove Area Transportation (Maple Grove); and Minnesota Valley Transit Authority (Apple Valley, Rosemont, Burnsville, Eagan, Savage and Prior Lake). PROPOSAL The amendments proposed in HF 1021 and companion SF 1140 are for the purpose of clarifying the role between the RTB and the various opt -out transit systems. The original act which authorized opt -out was creative,,and has allowed for major improvements in transit programs in each of the opt -out communities. All of the opt -out systems implemented to date have achieved dramatic ridership increases through the operation of efficient and cost effective transit programs. However, as time has passed, more and more difficulties have arisen between the autonomous operation of opt -out systems, which is necessary for continued efficient and effective transit service, and the administrative and budgetary controls being placed by the RTS on the opt -out systems. Specifically, from the perspective of Southwest Metro Transit, there is a need to define the oversight and coordination authorities of the RTB as they relate to funds availability to and operational management of opt -out systems. We feel that the lack of such definition will ultimately result in the loss of autonomous operation of opt- C�, ,�� 1 % 9 1 Executive Summary - Page 2 out systems, will increase administrative and operating costs, and will further the implementation of policies on the part of the RTB that do not follow the intent of the original opt -out bill. HF 1021 and SF 1140 will place the necessary definition into the existing legislation on opt -out transit. It is important that our intent in seeking these changes is not misunderstood. We fully recognize the need for regional transit oversight and coordination. Our intent is to better define this oversight and coordination in a way that allows opt -out transit to work as the Legislature originally intended it to work. Southwest Metro Transit strongly urges your support of HF 1021 and SF 1140 to assure the ongoing success of opt -out transit in the metropolitan area. Your support of this legislation will aid in bringing definition to the administrative and fiscal relationship between the RTB and the opt -out transit systems, a relationship that the original legislation was intended to foster. We would like to meet with as many members of the Legislature as possible to explain our proposal in more detail. Obviously, it is not possible to meet with everyone, but we would welcome any questions or comments that you may have regarding HF 1021 and SF 1140. Please contact one of the individuals listed below and we will be happy to assist you in any way we can.

The the contract w((lfund three capital projects: 17 installation of bus pullover lanes of the Four_Season� Mallp4rkand rid Jot, 2(�_relocDtton-ofcn-existing b s thetter at 36th and Lancaster to the Four Seasons _Mailpark-an!; _-d e and�_instailation of a bus pullover lane of the the Highway 5,5!Co-unty.RoQd 73park ond ride lot. The funds for these projects would be allocated through the sale of bonds already authorized by the Board. DISCUSSION The Plymouth Metrolink Transit Program offers peak -period commuter express and reverse commute service from the City of Plymouth to downtown Minneapolis as well as a dial -a -ride service seven days a week, The Metrolink service utilizes two park and ride lots within the city: the Four Seasons Mali (Lancaster/Pilgrim Lanes) and Highway 55/County Road 73 park-and-ride lots. The Four Seasons Mall park and ride lot serves Route 93 patrons and has 25 parking stalls available. Plymouth has entered into the standard MTC park and ride lot agreement with the firm who oversees the mall for use of this facility. The Highway 55/County Road 73 park and ride lot serves Route 91 passengers and has 70 parking stalls available. This lot is owned by the Minnesota Department of Transportation and is maintained by the City of Plymouth. Both lots are regularly filled to capacity from both Metrolink users and rideshoring pools. The capital needs for the Four Season Mail lot requires that 150 foot long bus pullover lanes be installed along Lancaster Lane for safety reasons. This would provide the necessary space for two full-size transit coaches along with two 25 -passenger mini - coaches to pull over to transfer passengers during the peak -period. At present these vehicles are stopping in a traffic lane to accomplish the transfer. This practice is potentially hazardous. Total cost for this project is estimated at $40,000. _— `4 City of Plymouth 1991 Capital Contract Request March 27, 1991 Page 2 The Highway 55/County Road 73 park and ride lot requires installation of bus pullover lanes in order to improve safety and lot capacity. Currently, Route 91 buses pull directly into the lot to transfer passengers which creates a potential safety hazard and reduces vehicle capacity. The City of Plymouth has no formal estimate on this project yet, but believes $40,000 would be an appropriate request to allow for the completion of this project. The total Plymouth Metrolink capital request for 1991 equals $80,000. Funds for these capital projects will be allocated through proceeds from the sale of bonds. RECOMMENDATION That the Regional Transit Board authorize its executive director to enter into a capital funding agreement with the City of Plymouth in an amount not to exceed $80,000 for calendar year 1991.

The following statement is offered to clarify this process: 1990 Final Cost Allocation. This statement shows your community's sewer service charges based on actual wastewater flow and MWCC expenditures in 1990. Actual flow in 1990 was determined by the metered and/or unmetered flow from your community. The allocation also shows any credits for facilities acquired from your community (current value credit) or for debt service paid by your community. It also shows any credit or debit resulting from the 1988 Final Cost Allocation. A debit or credit generally occurs when a community has more or less wastewater volume than estimated, relative to other communities. The 1990 final cost allocation is based on the actual wastewater flow and agency expenditures for the year. This result is then compared to the amount of money your community remitted. Any adjustment, whether a debit or a credit, will be applied to the estimated sewer service charges for 1992. I am forwarding a copy of this statement to your finance officer. If you have any questions, please let me know. Very truly yours, 0--4� v Charles R. Weaver Chair CRW:LIS:mbf Enclosure cc: Finance Officer Commissioner Paul McCarron Gordon O.

Applications can be obtained by calling 550-5014 and are due by noon on Fri., April 19. Appointments to the charter commission are made by the District Court. The City Council will make recommendations to the court based upon the applications received. The Charter Commission will consider whether it is advisable to recommend a city charter defining the specific framework, operating procedures and regulations associated with Plymouth government. If the Commission recommends a Charter, it would be voted on by Plymouth residents. The City Council reactivated the Charter Commission at a March 18 meeting. The issue arose when the League of Women Voters and League of Plymouth Voters suggested that the City consider changing its form of government from a statutory city to a home rule charter city. Statutory cities derive their powers from state statutes and do not have any powers not specifically granted by state law. Home rule charter cities can exercise any powers that their locally adopted charters give them as long as those powers do not conflict with state law. The original 15 member Charter Commission which was formed in 1968 never completed its work. Therefore, Plymouth remained a statutory city.

Council update: NW sewer project bid awarded • Accepted a report from Springsted and Associates on the property tax impact which the proposed phase 11 of the northwest sanitary trunk sewer exten- sion would have on in-place Plymouth taxpayers in School District 284. The extension would open about 1,100 acres for development. The study con- cluded that extension of the trunk sewer would not have a significant impact on existing taxpayers. • After receiving the Springsted report, Council awarded the bid for phase II of the northwest sanitary sewer project. The project wi I I serve about 1,100 acres, most of which lies south of Hwy. 55 and north of Co. Rd. 24. Appointed a land acquisition specialist to negotiate with the owner of the pro- posed library site at Hwy. 55 and Vicks- burg Ln. Council also authorized con- demnation in the event the negotiations fail. • Amended the Comprehensive Plan to revise the trail location along Schmidt Lake Rd. between Hwy. 169 and Co. Rd. 101. The trail was relocated from the south right-of-way of the Soo Line tracks to the right-of-way adjacent to Schmidt Lake Rd. Already completed trail seg- ments along the Soo Line will remain in place. The relocation will better match anticipated and actual pedestrian/biker travel patterns. 3 '11) N zL'_1 S Charter Commission reactivated; applicants sought The Plymouth City Council is seeking appl i - cants to serve on the City Charter Commis- sion.

However, my husband, John Duntley, is interested in serving, so he has completed the application; and it is enclosed. I wish to thank the Council for their consideration, but I have forgotten anything I ever knew about the City Charter issue in the twenty years since we last met. My husband is more interested in the matter, and I would have to admit that he is probably better qualified than I am. I recommend him to the Council for their consideration.

Willis, City Manager FROM: Eric J. Blank, Director of Parks and Recreation SUBJECT: PARK CLEAN UP PROGRAM UPDATE This week I completed discussions with the last two remaining elementary schools. Gleason Lake Elementary School is planning to take care of the Luce Line Trail from Vicksburg Lane to Ferndale Road and Queensland neighborhood park. Greenwood Elementary is looking at the trail running south from the school through Amberwoods, and the possibility, if they can get across Co. Rd. 24, of Greentree West/Green Oaks park. Fifty kids from the Wayzata High School Y.E.S. program (Youth Extending Service) will take care of the Luce Line trail from Vicksburg Lane east and Parkers Lake Park, sharing this with Birchview Elementary. Y.E.S. kids will do this on a continuing basis in the fall and spring of each year. We have also picked up this past week one cub scout group that will be doing a clean up program in Shiloh neighborhood park. Once the principals have picked a time and day for their clean up event, I will pass this information along for you and the Council information packet. EB/np ���; APR 12'91 PC,, OF April 5, 1991 PLYMOUTR Debbie Geronsin 16320 27th Place N Plymouth, MN 55447 Dear Debbie: This is a short note in follow up to our phone conversation of Thursday, April 4. You have volunteered to have your cub scout troop help clean up Shiloh Neighborhood Park. On the attached graphic, I have colored in the property which is the park land. In a few days, Mark Peterson, our Superintendent of Parks, will be contacting you to arrange the date and time that your group will be working in the park. He will supply you with trash bags which your group may use. If you have any questions, you can reach Mr. Peterson by calling 550-5151. Thank you for your time and interest in volunteering to clean up this park. I hope that it is an enjoyable experience for the group. Sincerely, '54 L-- 0"�� Eric J.

WATER RESTRICTIONS This summer the City of Plymouth will again implement odd -even water restrictions for all city water customers. The restrictions go into effect May 1 and run through September 30. They will be the same as last year. I would appreciate it if you would help me share this information via your association newsletter, or simply getting the word out to your neighbors by word of mouth. If drought conditions require the City to revise water restrictions, they will be announced on WCCO (830) AM radio, cable channel 37, and the 24-hour water restriction hotline, 550- 5007. The hotline is a recorded message of up-to-date water restrictions. BUILDING PERMITS Recently, I sent you an announcement asking Plymouth residents planning home improvements to begin planning for them. Since then we have also put together a more complete handout on permits. Please share the information in it with your association members or simply let them know the handout is available. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me at 550- 5016. Thanks for your help.

TELEPHONE (612) 550-5000 r� Plymouth Water Restrictions Odd -even restrictions on all outdoor water use will be in place May 1 - September 30 for all Plymouth water cus- tomers. • Customers with even -numbered addresses may water on even -numbered calendar days. Those with odd - numbered addresses may water on odd -numbered days. • The restrictions apply to new sod, landscaping and timed sprinkler systems. • If you hire a lawn service, schedule your lawn care in accordance with the restrictions. • The penalty for violating the water restrictions is $100 for each day of violation. Water customers will receive one written warning before they are penalized. Changes in Restrictions If drought conditions require the City to change the restrictions, they will be announced on: • WCCO AM (830) Radio • Cable TV Channel 37 • The Water Restriction Hotline, 550-5007.

Often only a washer is needed to stop a drip. evaporation. • Use a displacement device (a water -filled plastic bot- tle) in the toilet tank to reduce the amount of water required to flush. • Avoid running the tap for a glass of water. Put a pitcher of water in the refrigerator. • Use your dishwasher and clothes washer only when you have full loads. • Never pour grease or oil in the drain. It requires too much water to rinse it down & may clog the drain. Store grease or oil in a container. • Do not leave the water running when brushing your teeth or shaving. • Use buckets and tubs of water to wash your car or the dog — instead of letting a hose run. • Use a nozzle on your garden hose. It will act as a flow restrictor. • Cut grass at a two to three inch height instead of cropping it closely. This will reduce the water it needs. • Sweep sidewalks & driveways instead of washing them down with a hose. • Reuse as much water as possible.

I wholeheartedly concur that the entire community benefits when individuals and homeowner associations join together to cleanup the refuse which tends to accumulate over the course of the winter. As I indicated over the phone, we have already sent letters to homeowner association presidents advising them of the Spring Cleanup Program. I am attaching a copy of that letter for information. More recently, I have sent additional information (attached) from Hennepin County, advising homeowner association presidents of where they might be able to dispose of appliances, or hazardous household wastes. Both letters were sent out to the attached mailing list containing the names of some 55 homeowner association presidents. If you are interested in assisting our program, these are the list of people I would ask you to telephone. In a lot of cases, this work has to be done in the evening, since that's the only time these people are available. If you would be interested in making these telephone contacts on the city's behalf, I would be glad to provide you with a script which could help you in responding to any questions you might receive. Feel free to give me a call at 550-5013 so that we can arrange to get together to discuss this matter further at your convenience. By the way, I thought you'd want to know that we will be using a small portion of the sewer and water bills to remind people to participate in a cleanup effort, whether for their own yard, or as part of the homeowner association or neighborhood.

If they do not, the Regional Transit Board can require that the system be revised, or eliminated. Our system presently recovers 11% of the total cost through the farebox. This is because Sunday ridership is light. While about 90 passengers use the service on weekdays, only 15 on average use it on a Sunday. After evaluating all options, we have decided to eliminate the Sunday service effective April 28. While we regret cutting back our services, we believe that this option is preferable to increased fares, or cutting service during higher use days and times. We hope that you will be able to reschedule your trips to take advantage of the remaining days and hours of service available.

That's what it took for Plym- outh to get serious about employee safety. "In 1977, we went from having no safety program to having an instant legislative policy from the city council to reduce workers' comp insurance costs," Assistant Manager Frank Boyles said. City Manager James G. Willis charged Boyles with developing Plym- outh's safety program. One of the first things Boyles did was set up a small safety committee which primarily focused on police and maintenance employees. "At the time, that's where we saw our greatest exposure. Literally 99 percent of what we did in terms of a safety program at first focused on safe driving," Boyles said. Plymouth has since developed a comprehensive safety program with a variety of interlocking policies and safety efforts. In one fashion or another, each employee becomes involved in the effort. The linchpin of the entire program is the safety committee which reviews accidents, monitors the city's liability, develops employee incentives and train- ing programs, and directs the pro- gram's efforts each year. The work of the safety committee combined with Plymouth's entry into the self-insurance arena have made for big savings during a time of skyrocketing insurance costs. Committee membership now includes representatives of all employee groups. The committee also broadened its focus to include personal injury pre- vention, facility inspection, equipment specifications review, and equipment maintenance checks. The safety committee meets monthly and is comprised of representatives "Two badly injured employees, two totalled vehicles, and annual workers' compensation premiums exceeding $300,000. That's what it took for the* of Plymouth to get serious about employee safety." from all departments. Fifty percent of its membership changes each year when employees elect new representa- tives. The committee has 12 mem- bers—about 50 percent are supervisors and 50 percent are nonsupervisors. It reviewed 19 vehicular and 31 personal injury accidents in 1990. The committee reviews all accidents to determine if they were preventable. "In almost all cases there is an accident cause. There is something you can do to prevent the accident next time," Boyles said. The committee must do a delicate balancing act between being fair to the employee and holding people account- able. "The more you rationalize, the more likely you are to lose the effective- ness of your program because you spend time trying to make an excuse for the accident instead of looking at what can be done to avoid it in the future," Boyles said. Executive Secretary Judy McMillin has worked with the safety committee for five years. "The committee is look- ing at how people can do their work differently. They want to discover the accident's cause and focus on how to avoid it by changing procedures, add- ing safety equipment, or developing new training for an individual or group," McMillin said. A strength of the Plymouth safety committee is that it uses the chain of command. The committee makes a rec- ommendation to the city manager. He then follows up with the employee's supervisor. The program has also evolved to include regular inspection of city facili- ties and equipment. "Once the city felt that employee injuries were under con- trol, it began looking at fleet safety and general liability and property areas," said Dave Drugg, North Star Risk Services loss control manager. North Star handles Plymouth's general liability. City personnel inspect all parks on a biweekly basis during the summer and monthly in the winter. In addition, the city inspects all vehicles and property yearly. "It's an audit. We're looking to see that we're following our own main- tenance schedule," said Plymouth Risk Management Coordinator Bob Pemberton. Willis says, "Since 1977, we have saved about $750,000 in insurance premiums alone by being self-insured and having an active safety program. Some of these savings were placed in reserve but the remainder were used to , CAM, APR 1 L �, , purchase newer, safer equipment. So not only does the job become safer, it becomes easier for the employee. Now that's a win-win situation," he said. "Plymouth has an incentive not to have accidents and injuries. The key thing is the commitment at the highest level by the council and city manager to make this thing work," Volker added. Pemberton counters that city employees and their representatives on Plymouth's Safety Committee play an important role in reducing the city's claims. "The strength of the program is that it isn't top heavy. It comes from the employees," he said. Support from the city council and city manager is essential but Boyles notes that the key to the program is employees. "After all, the employees are your experts in the field. Employees have to take the position that `we're not going to get lax on safety because it's our lives and our health.' Then there has to be someone there to listen and act on employee concerns—that's the supervisor's job," Boyles said. "You can't afford not to do this stuff. Even though there's a big money crunch with cities, Plymouth still puts high emphasis and priority on keeping the safety program going," Drugg said. "I've heard some supervisors say that three to four hours a month is too much time to allow an employee to spend on safety. But safety is a habitual thing. It's microdecisions we make daily to wear seat belts, use protective equipment, and follow safety proce- dures. Those decisions soon become habits," Boyles said. "The fact of the matter is each employee must be in the safety habit 40 hours or more each week. The safety program can help by reinforcing pre- ferred habits," he added. Helen LaFave has served as communica- tions coordinator for the city of Plym- outh for four years. Employees have insight into city safety needs FRED J. ADAMS City officials in Brooklyn Park have long recognized that injuries and prop- erty damage represent substantial costs which ultimately fall to the city. In 1973, responding to rumors about a new state agency called OSHA, the city created the position of safety coordina- tor. Shortly afterward the city estab- lished the Municipal Safety Committee (MSC) to provide broader participation in the effort to promote a systematic approach to safety problems. Brooklyn Park is a suburban com- munity of about 57,000 located in the Twin Cities metropolitan area, and faces the challenges inherent in being part of a major urban center. The mission of the MSC expanded as the program matured. Originally, it focused almost exclusively on employee safety. The committee now addresses employee safety, training, worksite pro- tection, public risk, and accident review. The MSC serves within risk management, a division of the Finance and Administrative Services Department. Today, the risk manager chairs the safety committee. The committee mem- bers are employees, both supervisory and nonsupervisory, appointed from throughout city departments. Presently there are nine regular members and three alternate members, with the risk manager and MSC secretary as full- time risk management staff. Regular and alternate MSC members serve indeterminate terms, rather than on the previous fixed -term basis. The committee holds regular meet- ings, usually on the second Thursday of each month. The MSC secretary rec- ords minutes, distributes agenda pack- \ZZ). ets, and maintains MSC record books. An unusual aspect of Brooklyn Park's program which has proven suc- cessful is the use of permanent subcom- mittees, made up of the various committee members. There are four standing subcommittees of the MSC, which respond to specific areas of need. Each subcommittee—standards, acci- dent/injury review, programs/training, and inspections—has an appointed chair as well as other members to assist in the conduct of business. The purpose of the subcommittee is to reduce full committee involvement in detail work and routine matters. By using the sub- committees, items that go to the com- mittee are in a more refined or developed form, which allows a more flexible approach in responding to problems. The subcommittee chair is responsi- ble for keeping the safety committee and staff informed about subcommittee activities. Subcommittees meet on an ad hoc basis, or as called by the respec- tive chair or risk management. Each subcommittee also functions within an administrative framework which spells out in general terms the focus and purpose it serves. The following are examples of some of matters which the subcommittee may address. Standards examines application of existing rules (standards) and regula- tions to municipal operations, investi- gates situations where standards may be needed, assists in development of new city regulations or to amend exist- ing ones, and promotes employee knowledge about safety and health requirements. Programs/Training helps develop CIM APR 12'91 April 8, 1991 Robert Pemberton Risk Mgmt. Coord.

St. Paul, Minnesota 5510; 612-391-9150 1-800-444-9150 FAX: 612-291-7584 MINUTES PLYMOUTH ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON TRANSIT MARCH 27, 1991 PRESENT: Peter Tulkki, Nancy Holter, Sally Neil, Jane Shaffer; representing MTC: Steve Jaeger, Hugh Hudson, Bruce Bakke; representing Morley Bus Company: Dennis Ridley; representing the City of Plymouth: Frank Boyles The Committee approved the minutes of the February 27, 1991 meeting as written. II. REVIEW OF RIDERSHIP STATISTICS A. Dial -A -Ride - February Dennis Ridley announced that he has been working closely with the Plymouth Dial -A -Ride system in hopes of improving ridership productivity. He stated that because of his efforts, an additional ten rides per week have been carried because he was able to call back and negotiate acceptable times with the customers. He hopes to continue this practice. He stated that the March figures look better than the February figures. The February weekday averages for Dial -A -Ride were 91 passengers per day, and the weekend averages 19 per day. The total passengers per hour were 2.5, and total miles per passenger were 7.5. B. Northeast Metrolink - February/March Frank Boyles and Steve Jaeger reviewed the northeast Plymouth Metrolink figures. Ridership for February averaged 318 passengers per day, bringing the year long average to 325 as compared to 276 for 1990. Steve Jaeger reviewed the daily ridership statistics for February 25 through March 22. The average daily ridership was 280 passengers. - - �� -• Y - Frank Boyles reviewed the southwest Metrolink figures. The average daily commuter ridership during February 1991 was 256. It was noted that there appears to be a discrepancy with the reverse commuter figures which should show more like a 50 trip per day average, rather than 147. Frank Boyles will inquire about this. Steve Jaeger reported that for the period February 25 through March 22, that the average daily ridership was 314 for southwest Metrolink and 49 for the reverse commuter service. MINUTES - PLYMOUTH ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON TRANSIT March 27, 1991 Page 2 III. FOLLOW UP ITEMS FROM PREVIOUS MEETINGS �3C A. Route 93 Vehicles- Status of Repairs - Steve Jaeger said that he had undertaken weekly inspections of the Plymouth Metrolink vehicles, including testing lights and doors. Passengers concur that the vehicles overall were in much better shape. There was one concern that vehicle number 1245 had odor of urine when the heater was turned on. Steve Jaeger said he would investigate. B. Proposed Revisions to 93C - No change has been made on this service since to do so would eliminate the opportunity for the multifamily folks living on Lancaster Lane to catch the vehicle either at the park and ride lot, or coming along their street. C. Status of Route 92 Improvements - Hugh Hudson stated that with respect to route 91, he has found that the van returns late from Golden Valley Center, even though two vans are now used for this purpose. Steve Jaeger said it appears to him that the problem is the route 55 vehicle getting in late. That schedule needs to be adjusted. During the end of April, he will arrange for that adjustment. Hugh Hudson distributed a preliminary report from Steve Mahowald regarding the research which had been done to date. The basic findings were that the current route 92 fails to serve the major employment peak of 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. There are also a number of unproductive areas in the existing routes. Finally, the 8:00 service could be better tailored to serve offices which would be more likely to use service at this time. This project is to be combined with travel demand management efforts. All revisions will be implemented this fall, in September. By April 16, Steve Mahowald of the MTC will be providing a route map and rough schedule which will constitute his recommendations for revising the service. D. Dial -A -Ride and Marketing Cutbacks for 1991 - Frank Boyles stated that the Regional Transit Board has asked opt -out communities where they can cut their budgets to help the RTB make up a $3.5 million cut in 1991. The City has agreed to provide approximately $7,500 from the marketing budget and $8,500 either from funds budgeted to extend Dial -A -Ride from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. weekdays, or by eliminating Sunday service. 2 MINUTES - PLYMOUTH ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON TRANSIT March 27, 1991 Page 3 Dennis Ridley stated that the Sunday service has historically been slow, averaging between 8 and 30 rides daily. He stated that if Sunday service were eliminated, riders would most likely use the Saturday service, rather than discontinue their usage. The Committee concurred that it would be most appropriate to discontinue Sunday service effective May 1. Dennis Ridley is preparing a draft notice to be distributed to all riders, advising them well in advance of this service reduction. IV. IDENTIFICATION OF NEW AREAS OF CONCERN OR RECOMMENDATION Dunkirk Minicoach - Nancy Holter stated that the Dunkirk minicoach failed to run one day during the last month. Bruce Bakke stated that a breakdown had been experienced and that they were unable to put a backup vehicle on the route for some time. Problems with Super Saver Fares - Frank Boyles stated that all types of super saver fares are now available at Plymouth City Center. The problem is that City Center is not open on weekends or evenings. Steve Jaeger asked whether there were other outlets in Plymouth that might consider selling the tickets. Frank Boyles stated he would check with CUB to see if he could arrange a meeting between Steve Jaeger and Bill Wilkin. Sally Neil asked whether mailers could be placed on all buses to make it convenient for Plymouth riders to order convenience fares through the mail. V. OTHER BUSINESS Steve Jaeger suggested that 20 copies be placed on each Plymouth Metrolink sharing Plymouth information. Frank 300 copies could be provided for each The meeting adjourned at 8:16 p.m. FB:kec of the Plymouth News bus as a means of Boyles stated that publication. CITY OF PLYMOUTH PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES MARCH 20, 1991 The Regular Meeting of the City of Plymouth Planning Commission was called to order at 7:00 p.m. MEMBERS PRESENT: Chairman Plufka, Commissioners Hal Pierce, Dennis Zylla, Joy Tierney, Larry Marofsky, Michael Stulberg, and John Wire. MEMBERS ABSENT: None. STAFF PRESENT: Coordinator Charles Dillerud, City Engineer Dan Faulkner, and Planning Secretary Jackie Watson. *MINUTES MOTION by Commissioner Stulberg, seconded by Commissioner MOTION TO APPROVE Marofsky to approve the Planning Commission Minutes of March 20, 1991. Vote. 4 Ayes. Chairman Plufka, Commissioner Pierce and VOTE - MOTION CARRIED Wire abstained. MOTION carried. Chairman Plufka introduced the request of Carlson Real CARLSON REAL ESTATE Estate Company for Rezoning, Preliminary Plat and Variance COMPANY (90093) for "Harbor Woods" located northwest of Carlson Parkway and I-494. Coordinator Dillerud reviewed the March 5, 1991 Staff Report. Chairman Plufka asked if the construction of Fernbrook Lane would encroach on any DNR protected wetlands, and if the southern two small wetland areas would be impacted. Coordinator Dillerud stated that no DNR protected wetland would be impacted but that the two small areas at the south would be impacted by the construction of Fernbrook Lane. Commissioner Zylla asked if Fernbrook Lane was designated as a minor collector and if so, what width and what volume of traffic could be expected on a minor collector once all development in the area was completed. CIN p�R 12'9i Planning Commission Minutes March 20, 1991 Page 34 City Engineer Faulkner stated that Fernbrook Lane is designed to be a minor collector which would be 36 feet in width. He stated that projected vehicle usage at completion of development in the area would be 2-3 thousand vehicles a day. He said this volume is figured at the rate of each household making 10 trips per day. City Engineer Faulkner stated that minor collectors are necessary to direct local traffic out of neighborhoods so the traffic does not directly impact upon the freeway system. Chairman Plufka introduced Mr. Rick Sathre representing the petitioner. Mr. Sathre stated that Carlson Real Estate Company's goal was to get approval for the preliminary platting of this property and then sell the land to a developer. He said that the area guided LA -4 would probably not be sold at the present time because of a decline in the demand for multi -family homes. Mr. Sathre stated that the two outlots would be conveyed to other owners in the area; Outlot B would probably be conveyed to the Gersbach Development; Outlot A could be joined to the land at the east, used a part of the road right-of-way or be acquired by the Harbor Place Homeowner's Association. Mr. Sathre stated that he was in agreement with the Staff Report. He said there is one issue regarding the alignment of Fernbrook Lane at the southern tip of this parcel that was a problem since the design of the roadway would go through the center of this southerly triangle making the land unusable. Mr. Sathre suggested that this area be acquired by the City. Chairman Plufka asked Mr. Sathre if he had any alternative suggestions for streets in this southern portion of the site. Mr. Sathre responded that this area contains some steep slopes and is a difficult area. He said that if Fernbrook Lane was not constructed Harbor Lane would have to absorb the increase traffic in the area. Commissioner Marofsky asked Mr. Sathre what he thought would be the result of increased traffic if Fernbrook Lane was constructed as a private driveway to the apartment site rather than a City street. Mr. Sathre responded that he did not have an answer. He said he would need more time to think about that idea. kph 1 `�` 1 Planning Commission Minutes March 20, 1991 Page 35 Commissioner Zylla asked if a traffic study was done for Fernbrook Lane as it is to be constructed. Coordinator Dillerud stated that a study was done several years ago. Commissioner Pierce asked if it was possible to push Fernbrook Lane closer to the freeway thus creating a larger outlot. Mr. Sathre stated that Carlson Real Estate Company will develop the area as the City requires. He said that if Fernbrook Lane were pushed closer to the freeway retaining walls would be required. Chairman Plufka called a recess at 7:55 p.m. The meeting was reconvened at 8:05 p.m. Chairman Plufka opened the Public Hearing. Chairman Plufka introduced Mr. Jeremy Wilson-Dando of 14400 4th Avenue North. Mr. Wilson-Dando stated that he represented the Harbor Place Homeowner's Association. He stated that the Association was against the rezoning from FRD to LA -4 and the extension of Fernbrook Lane. Mr. Wilson-Dando said that the Association's reasons for the objection is due to the loss of vegetation and trees; reduction of the natural buffer from the freeway; the multi -family development would decrease property values and increase traffic; and the completion of Fernbrook Lane would cause some homes to be double -fronted, and, in one case a home would be triple -fronted. Mr. Wilson-Dando presented a petition to the Planning Commission objecting to the rezoning and completion of Fernbrook Lane. He invited the Commissioners to walk the area to observe the amenities. Mr. Wilson-Dando also stated that the Association was agreeable to the Preliminary Plat for the 16 single family lots but that they would like access to the plat to be via 8th Avenue North. Chairman Plufka responded that the Commissioners do walk the area of each proposed petition prior to Planning Commission meetings. He stated that the Planning Commissioners must reconsider whether the guiding in this area is right. Commissioner Marofsky observed that if access to the single family lots were via 8th Avenue North the traffic would then flow to Harbor Lane thus increasing the traffic there. Planning Commission Minutes `\ March 20, 1991 Page 36 Chairman Plufka introduced Ms. Sue Beiersdorf of 545 Glacier Lane North. Ms. Beiersdorf stated she was opposed to the multi -family rezoning and against the extension of Fernbrook Lane. Chairman Plufka introduced Ms. Kathy Blish of 510 Glacier Lane North. Ms. Blish stated that her home would be double -fronted if Fernbrook Lane were extended. She said she would rather see twinhomes or townhouses in the proposed LA -4 area instead of apartments. She suggested that the extension of Fernbrook Lane would diminish the natural buffer from the freeway and increase the noise in the area. Ms. Blish asked if an Environmental Impact Study could be requested for this area. Coordinator Dillerud stated that a mandatory Environmental Assessment Worksheet would not be required but that one could be petitioned through the Environmental Quality Board. He offered to give Ms. Blish the information needed to contact them. He said that a petition does not guarantee that an EAW will be required. Chairman Plufka introduced Ms. Cheryl Creecy of 14365 4th Avenue North. Ms. Creecy stated that the she was against the rezoning and extension of Fernbrook Lane because of the potential increase in traffic and the threat to the quality of life currently present in this area. Chairman Plufka introduced Mr. John Grams of 1230 Harbor Lane North. Mr. Grams stated that the Commissioners should reconsider the guiding in this area and determine whether the present guiding is in the best interest of the neighborhood. Chairman Plufka introduced Mr. James Hartmann of 1140 Harbor Lane. Mr. Hartmann stated that he felt the LA -4 guiding was not appropriate for the neighborhood. He said that he was against development in this area 10 years ago and did not realize that the zoning could be changed without a separate Public Hearing not tied to a development. He suggested that there is no clear need for apartments in this area and the increase in traffic resulting from the high density is undesirable. He said that he is against the extension of Fernbrook Lane. cs� APR 12'91 Planning Commission Minutes March 20, 1991 Page 37 Mr. Hartman said he did not object to townhomes on the site. He gave Chairman Plufka a copy of his notes when he finished speaking. Chairman Plufka introduced Ms. Lori Hempel of 450 Glacier Lane North. Ms. Hempel stated that the extension of Fernbrook Lane and the proposed multi -family development would cause her home to be triple -fronted. She said the proposed Fernbrook Lane would be 35 feet from her home. She said that her children play in the wooded area as there are no parks in the neighborhood. Commissioner Marofsky asked Ms. Hempel if she had been aware that Fernbrook Lane eventually would be extended. Ms. Hempel responded that she knew this would happen some day but did not think it would happen so soon or that the road would be so close to her home. Chairman Plufka introduced Mr. David Leschak of 14385 4th Avenue North. Mr. Leschak stated that he felt an error had been made in the guiding of the LA -4 area which will disrupt the residential neighborhood. He said that the extension of Fernbrook Lane is also a mistake since the slopes in that area are too steep. He stated that this development would destroy many of the old oak trees in the area. Mr. Sathre showed a graphic of the area designated for the extension of Fernbrook Lane explaining the slopes projected without constructing any walls. Mr. Leschak stated he was also concerned with the increase in traffic which would be generated from a multi -family development at the intersections of Harbor Lane and Gleason Lake Drive, and Gleason Lake Drive and Carlson Parkway. Chairman Plufka introduced Mr. Reg McNutt of 805 Harbor Lane. Mr. McNutt stated that traffic in the area is already heavy. He said the multi -family development will destroy the quality of the neighborhood. He suggested that the City establish a park in the area of Fernbrook Lane and 8th Avenue North with access on to Harbor Lane. Chairman Plufka stated that parks are not part of the Planning Commission authority and are under the authority of the Park and Recreation Department and Advisory Commission. `' 12 '91 Planning Commission Minutes March 20, 1991 Page 38 Chairman Plufka introduced Mr. John Richter of 1205 Fernbrook Lane North. Mr. Richter stated that he preferred to see single family homes in the area guided LA -4. He said that multi -family homes in the area would increase the crime rate. He also stated that there is not market demand for multi -family homes. Chairman Plufka introduced Mr. Skip Rosen of 425 Harbor Lane. Mr. Rosen stated he was against traffic increases which would be caused by a multi -family development; the increase in crime caused by multi -family development; and the destruction of wetlands and wildlife in this area. He said he was in favor of single family units for this parcel. Chairman Plufka introduced Ms. Deelaine Schaefer of 14506 12th Avenue North. Ms. Schaefer stated she was against multi -family development in this area. She said she would like to see a trail constructed from this area to Parkers Lake and Medicine Lake. Chairman Plufka introduced Mr. Richard Schmidt of 14310 13th Avenue North. Mr. Schmidt stated that if the LA -4 area was eliminated from the plan the need for Fernbrook Lane would also be eliminated. He said the LA -4 guiding is not in character with the neighborhood. He suggested that Fernbrook Lane, if constructed, be placed closer to the freeway. Mr. Schmidt stated that he was aware of the plans for Fernbrook Lane some time ago but did not know what steps to take to get them changed. He said that it is time now to get the extension of Fernbrook Lane stopped. Chairman Plufka explained that if Fernbrook Lane were moved closer to the freeway it would encroach on the wetlands in the area. Chairman Plufka introduced Mr. David Schumacher of 525 Harbor Lane North. Mr. Schumacher stated that he was against the proposed multi -family development. He said that the increased traffic from Harbor Lane onto Gleason Lake Drive would be a hazard for small children. He said he preferred to see single family homes in the LA -4 guided area. Planning Commission Minutes March 20, 1991 Page 39 Chairman Plufka introduced Ms. Dorothy Vigness of 530 Glacier Lane North. Ms. Vigness stated that when she purchased her home the developer told her the street stub was for access to adjoining property but that this was not likely to happen. She said she also called the City before purchasing her home about the street stub and future construction of a road and was told there were no plans "at that time". Chairman Plufka replied that the City was correct in stating that there had been no plans for the extension of the roadway since this is the first application for this property which includes the extension of Fernbrook Lane. Chairman Plufka introduced Ms. Alice Williams of 14325 12th Avenue North. Ms. Williams stated that she is against the LA -4 guiding and the extension of Fernbrook Lane. She read a portion from the 1989 Plymouth Handbook Mission statement regarding the aspect of "rural living in an urban setting" in the City of Plymouth and suggested that this development is not mindful of the Mission Statement. Chairman Plufka introduced Mr. Larry Wood of 1125 Fernbrook Lane. Mr. Wood stated that when he purchased his home the realtor made him aware of the extension of Fernbrook Lane and some single family development but did not suggest that there would be any multi -family development in the area. He said that he in favor of the extension of Fernbrook Lane, but is against the LA -4 guiding. Mr. Wood asked why citizens are not informed of zoning changes; what guidelines are used for determining zoning; whether assessments will be charged to neighbors for the road; whether parking is allowed on a minor collector and what the speed limit is on a minor collector; and what plans are there for the Luce Line Trail. Chairman Plufka responded that the rezoning cannot be done until public utilities are in to the site and an application is received for development. He said that the City Council is charged with the responsibility of assessments. City Engineer Faulkner responded that parking is allowed on a minor collector street except from 2:00 a.m. - 6:00 a.m., and the speed limit on a minor collector is 30 mph. C W, APR 12'91 Planning Commission Minutes March 20, 1991 Page 40 Chairman Plufka stated that there are no plans at the present time for crossing the Luce Line Trail and there will be none until an application is received by the City to develop a site abutting the trail. Chairman Plufka introduced Mr. Mike Munson of 305 Harbor Lane. Mr. Munson stated that he did not feel the LA -4 site was properly guided and stated his concern about the increased traffic the site would generate. He questioned whether the DNR approved the plan. Chairman Plufka stated that the DNR has not opposed this development plan. Chairman Plufka called a recess at 9:45 p.m. He reconvened the meeting at 9:55 p.m. Chairman Plufka closed the Public Hearing. Chairman Plufka thanked the audience for their comments and for being so thoughtful and courteous during the Public Hearing. Commissioner Marofsky questioned whether all the land in this site had to be platted at this time including the extension of Fernbrook Lane, or could the single family homes be platted separately. City Engineer Faulkner responded that platting of the entire property including the roadway is required. Coordinator Dillerud stated that, with a subdivision plat in process and public utilities available to the site, it was not consistent with the Zoning Ordinance to leave a portion of the site zoned FRD. Rezoning to some urban zoning classification is required. The proposed R-4 zoning is the correct classification for consistency with the Land Use Guide Plan. Coordinator Dillerud concurred in Engineer Faulkner's statements on platting all contiguous property. Commissioner Marofsky stated that R-4 zoning is not restricted to just apartment houses but has other alternatives which are listed in the Zoning Ordinance. Commissioner Marofsky stated that the extension of Fernbrook Lane will eliminate the current traffic problems in the area by giving the area a north/south access and will also give the area an alternative access in case an emergency causes the current access to be blocked. �;cr, APR 12'91 Planning Commission Minutes March 20, 1991 Page 41 Commissioner Wire stated that he would like to see the Thoroughfare Guide Plan studied again regarding the extension of Fernbrook Lane and defer the rezoning until this is done. Chairman Plufka stated that the extension of Fernbrook Lane will eliminate much of the traffic from the south especially once is crosses the Luce Line. He suggested that the Commissioners ask themselves whether the LA -4 guiding is appropriate for the site and whether the Luce Line should be crossed by the extension of Fernbrook Lane. Chairman Plufka stated that the Commission also must consider that they cannot deprive a landowner of the reasonable use of his land. Commissioner Zylla stated that a property owner has the right to request rezoning of his property that is consistent with the Land Use Guide Plan. He suggested that a trade-off might be made to lower the guiding on the LA -4 parcel for the right to extend Fernbrook Lane. Commissioner Zylla stated that the extension of Fernbrook Lane is necessary to provide an alternative way out of this area. Mr. Sathre commented that single family developers are not interested in the LA -4 guided property because of its proximity to the freeway. He said he though they may be interested in a lower density of LA -3 or LA -2. Commissioner Pierce suggested that a lesser density in this area would allow an alternative configuration for the extension of Fernbrook Lane. Commissioner Stulberg stated that a R-4 zoning does not necessarily mean apartments nor does it mean that the crime in the area will increase. 130 MOTION by Commission Stulberg, seconded by Commissioner MOTION TO APPROVE Wire to recommend approval of the Preliminary Plat for "Harbor Woods" based on the staff recommendation contained in the Staff Report of March 5, 1991 but subject to the following modifications: 1. The plat shall be modified to substitute a single outlot for the proposed Fernbrook Lane; Lot 1, Block 1; Outlot A; and Outlot B. 2. Condition No. 1 of the recommendation be modified regarding the Engineer's Memo as it relates to features eliminated from the plat by No. 1. APR 12'91 Planning Commission Minutes March 20, 1991 Page 42 3. Elimination of Conditions 10 and 11 of the draft resolution. Coordinator Dillerud stated that outlots were an inappropriate Preliminary Plat feature. Development staging, using outlots, should be a Final Plat feature only. He observed that substituting an outlot for Fernbrook Lane and the 12.7 acre east portion of this site would both erase the required General Development Plan supporting the Preliminary Plat, and be inconsistent with the Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan. Roll Call Vote. 6 Ayes. Commissioner Pierce voted Nay. MOTION carried. MOTION by Commissioner Marofsky, seconded by Commissioner Wire to recommend denial of the rezoning of a portion of the site from FRD to R-4 based on the finding that the site is inappropriate for R-4 zoning and the existing LA -4 guiding because the site did not afford good accessibility to thoroughfares, public community centers, libraries, and shopping centers as required by the Zoning Ordinance for R-4 Zoning Districts. Roll Call Vote. 5 Ayes. Commissioners Tierney and Stulberg voted Nay. MOTION carried. MOTION by Chairman Plufka, seconded by Commissioner Zylla to recommend to the City Council reconsideration of the land use guiding over a portion of the parcel included within the "Harbor Woods" Preliminary Plat, and reconsideration of the Thoroughfare Guide Plan with respect to the extension of Fernbrook Lane from its terminus at 4th Avenue North to its terminus north of the Luce Line Trail. MOTION to Amend by Commissioner Marofsky, seconded by Commissioner Pierce to include within the Land Use Guide Plan reconsideration the entire area bounded by Glacier Lane, County Road 6, I-494, and Carlson Parkway.

A portion of the Prudential site, now in Maple Grove, would move to Plymouth; and, a portion of the Maple Grove Shopping Center parking lot, now in Plymouth, would move to Maple Grove. Also, a small portion of an existing outlot on Quinwood Lane would move to Plymouth. Commissioner Marofsky questioned the relative tax values of the primary parcels proposed for exchange. Coordinator Dillerud replied that the parking lot was, obviously, paved, while the Prudential site portion was vacant and undeveloped.

Carlquist - Public Safety Director SUBJECT: UNION CITY MISSION MEETING WITH RESIDENTS CONCERNING DEVELOPMENT OF A PLAN DEALING WITH OPERATIONAL PROBLEMS IDENTIFIED AT PREVIOUS PLANNING COMMISSION AND CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS I attended the first meeting on this topic last night at Scanticon. I was in attendance as the Public Safety Director, not as a Board member of Union City Mission. There were approximately 75 residents in attendance. The meeting lasted two hours. Overall, I believe that the meeting was positive and was an appropriate forum to handle the relationship between residents and a corporate citizen. There appeared to be four major issues that were raised as questions or comments by audience members. The first issue dealt with the type of clientele that would be residents in the new Smith Lodge. Handouts were provided and a brief commentary on the lodge program was made. Essentially, the Smith Lodge program, which is the Conditional Use Permit under consideration, is targeted toward chronic alcoholics age 35 and over. The facility will have 24-hour staff coverage, with a maximum capacity of 19 residents. Both men and women who need this type of transitional housing will be included. Patrick Jewett, Program Director for Smith Lodge, assured the audience that complete checks would be made of the residents prior to being admitted. In no instance would there be persons with violent and/or sexual deviate problems admitted. There was definitely a fear by several residents who stressed alarm for their young children being potential victims of violent and/or sexual criminals. The second item that received much attention was the theme involving a facility such as Union City Mission being allowed to operate in an R-1 zoning district. Some suggestions from the audience were "why don't you sell the property and move somewhere ov fop, 12 '91 James G. Willis April 10, 1991 Page 2 else - not next to residential property." It appeared that some residents thought the property would be quite valuable because of its lake frontage, and therefore, could command enough money to more than offset the cost of acquiring other property and buildings. I would suspect that some of the persons in this camp had common viewpoints with those persons who raised the first issue. However, I don't think that I could easily identify the polarized groups because some persons appeared to be in more than one camp. The third concern raised was future expansion plans of both buildings and programs. I would suspect that some persons in this group would be more amiable to compromise than the previous two groups if the population of residents does not increase and there is some control by residents as to the placement of buildings on the property. Pat Murphy, the Executive Director of Union City Mission, talked about a proposed site master plan for the campus. She used the example of replacing the nursing home in the future; but, the number of residents would stay exactly the same, i.e. 104. Ms. Murphy quoted State law as controlling that figure. When further questions were asked about when any replacement buildings would be built, she indicated at least five years. Several persons wanted to know about ten or fifteen years. And, whether an expansion of an existing program would go into a building vacated for a new facility. The only possible expansion mentioned as an example by Ms. Murphy was the Home Free program. Apparently, they are turning away many persons who currently need that type of shelter. The fourth issue related to communications. Several persons stressed the need for an ongoing avenue of exchange of information. One person wanted to know if local residents could be on the Board of Directors. Ms. Murphy welcomed applications. There are currently four vacancies. There was skepticism about the sincerity of the staff and the proposed action plan (copy enclosed). More controls were suggested to minimize drinking and trespassing problems in the community. Several persons praised the staff and programs. But, they were definitely the minority. RJC/sb Enclosure UNION CITY MISSION, INC. NEIGHBORHOOD RESPONSE PROPOSED ACTION PLAN Union City Mission board and staff have developed the following initial plans in response to issues raised by our neighbors. Many of these ideas have been implemented during the past three months as an immediate response to your concerns. We would appreciate your feedback and your ideas for future development of this plan. Neighborhood Outreach Neighborhood Information Line Independent phone line to provide easy access for neighborhood concerns and general information; staff training in appropriate response. Announce to community via meetings and general mailing.

Neighborhood Mailings Periodic neighborhood mailings to solicit information, with follow-up calls when appropriate. French Park Establish communication lines with French Park management to monitor any concerns related to Union City Mission/Mission Farms Nursing Home. Client Issues Client Transportation Clients, who are without their own transportation, will be provided transport when seeking admission or upon discharge from any program. Public Transportation Clients are to use bus stop located on Union City Mission property when accessing public bus lines; bus stop on 36th Avenue is not be be used. Nursing Home Residents Contractual agreements with all residents regarding appropriate behavior; consequences for inappropriate behavior, including discharge from the facility. (Similar procedures already in place in other programs). Other Police & Ambulance Calls Internal monitoring of all police and ambulance calls initiated by Union City Mission/Mission Farms Nursing Home to ensure appropriate utilization of emergency response systems and to minimize disruption to neighborhood. i� APR 1 x'91, MEMO CITY OF PLYMOUTH 3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD, PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447 DATE: April 9, 1991 TO: Fred G. Moore, Director of Public Works FROM: "'-Daniel L. Faulkner, City Engineer SUBJECT: COUNTY ROAD 6 STATUS CITY PROJECT NO. 829 On Tuesday, April 9, 1991, I attended the first weekly construction coordination meeting of 1991 for the County Road 6 Project. This meeting was attended by utility company representatives, the County, and the contractor, C.S. McCrosson. The contractor has recently begun work on the pedestrian underpass near Niagara Lane and next Monday, April 15, 1991, he will begin to open up the entire project for the 1991 construction season. Mark Peterson, Parks and Recreation Department, requested that one of the first areas the contractor complete is the grading around the retaining wall east of Shenandoah Lane so spring plantings can be completed in the near future by Parks Department personnel. In addition, Mark will be contacting private contractors to receive quotes on running power through the pedestrian underpass to provide power to the parking lot lighting on the north side of County Road 6. The contractor is quite anxious to begin construction of the proposed berm along Vicksburg Lane south of County Road 6, but formal City approval is tied up with the Hennepin County Workhouse Facility Site Plan. Per my conversation with Chuck Dillerud, the workhouse facility has not been scheduled for Planning Commission consideration as the Hennepin County Property Management personnel have items to address regarding the site plan before it will move ahead. It should also be noted that part of the site plan includes a berm along the south side of the property adjacent to the Luce Line Trail, which the County Road 6 contractor would also construct as part of the County Road 6 grading. C.S. McCrosson would be doing this work for Hennepin County at no cost to the Property Management Division, but it does give this contractor a very short haul to get rid of excess material. The contractor would also like the City and County to give further consideration to allowing him to close Vicksburg Lane to complete this construction in a more timely manner. He indicates this would be a much safer option and much quicker construction technique which would be less inconvenience to the travelling public since the improvement could be completed much more quickly. I indicated I would talk to my supervisors about the contractor's request regarding the Vicksburg and Luce Line Trail berms and the Vicksburg intersection closure. ca, APS, 12 '91 SUBJECT: COUNTY ROAD 6 STATUS CITY PROJECT NO. 829 April 9, 1991 Page Two Prior to the next weekly meeting, the utility companies will be locating their facilities and meeting with the contractor to coordinate their necessary work. At the April 16, 1991 meeting, the contractor should be providing a more definite schedule for the 1991 work and completion of the project.

Carlquist SUBJECT: SPECIAL ENFORCEMENT ASSIGNMENTS - HIGHWAY 101 SOUTH OF COUNTY ROAD 6, AND 25TH AND GARLAND LANE This past evening I attended a Town Meeting with residents from the southwest part of Plymouth. Two of the residents requested radar enforcement in the areas that they live. Their request appeared to be re -enforced by others in the audience. Specifically, set up some assignments on Highway 101, between County Road 6 and Highway 12. One of the residents mentioned that the church lot on Highway 101 may be a good spot for stationary surveillance. The other location is 25th and Garland Lane. We have run radar in the past in the area of 25th and Olive on numerous occasions. Apparently 25th is a thoroughfare from Highway 101 to Dunkirk Lane. I leave to your discretion the most appropriate times and day of the week to run the radar surveillance. RJC/sb Cc: James G.

More than half of the new interstate is already finished, leaving only the sections from Plymouth Rd. to County Rd. 73, Winnetka Ave. to Wirth Pkwy., and the downtown end of the corridor to be completed. Hwy. 100 also remains under construction, from Glenwood Ave. to Minnetonka Blvd. 1-394 motorists, however, can expect non -rush hour lane closures again this year, between 9 A.M. and 3 P.M.

All work will be completed between Plymouth Rd. and County Rd. 73 by November 1991. Winnetka Ave. To Vernon/Xenia Ave. Traffic will remain on bypasses from Winnetka Ave. to Florida Ave. while crews build the new Louisiana Ave. bridge and interchange. When the Louisiana Ave. bridge opens in July, the signals at Florida and Pennsylvania Aves. will be removed. Motorists will continue to have access to Florida and Pennsyl- vania Aves. but will be unable to cross 1-394. Traffic will switch onto the permanent roadway between Winnetka and Florida Aves. this fall. After the switch, motorists will be able to enter and exit the inter- state at interchanges at General Mills Blvd., Louisiana Ave. and Vernon/Xenia Ave. Frontage roads will provide easy access to businesses and local streets. Also this fall, the new Winnetka Ave. bridge over 1-394 will open. Westbound 1-394 traffic will switch to its permanent location underneath the new Vemon/Xenia Ave. bridge sometime continued on page 3 New 1-394 Transit Centers at Plymouth Rd. and Louisiana Ave. will have bus bays, short-term parking spaces, enclosed passenger waiting areas, waiting benches and loading platforms. .fl I K 191 Motorists will see these "signs of the times" as they commute along the 1-394 corridor. Signs of the Times In Minnesota, construction is a sign of the times, but have you ever really noticed the actual signs of the times? Thousands of highway signs line the roadside and hang overhead along the 1-394 corridor. Many of them currently read "road work ahead," but the changeable message boards and the orange and black construction signs are gradually being replaced by the green and white guide signs that help steer you in the right direction. According to Mn/DOT's Traffic Engi- neering Department, highway signing is an intricate art. After the construction CA RLSON PARKWAY L plans are designed, the traffic department staff decides how traffic will move through the construction zones in each phase of the project and they develop a roadway signing plan. The signs must be coordinated so that motorists can go from home to work or to shop and back home again. While the Hwy. 100 interchange has been one of the largest traffic projects, the interchange at Plymouth Rd. has been the trickiest. In addition to the heavy volume of commuter traffic, there were special concerns with the Express Lane and the traffic generated from the retailers in the area. It has taken 372 years to build this interchange, and dur- ing certain phases of construction, there were traffic switches on a daily basis. Many times a signing plan will change based on motorists' concerns or a change in construction plans. Mn/DOT continually monitors the flow of traffic through the various segments of 1-394 and makes adjustments. According to Larry McKenzie, Traffic Services Super- visor, "If it's physically possible (to improve traffic,) we'll do it!" Most recently, a section of Plymouth Rd. was scheduled to be reduced to one lane in each direction during the summer of 1990. With modifications from the contractor and Mn/DOT, the plan was revised and traffic remained open to two lanes. This made traveling through the area less congested and made life a little bit easier for commuters. In addition to modifying and adjusting highway signing to improve traffic move- ment, Mn/DOT's Traffic Department experiments with new signing technol- ogy. The most recent (and visible) project is the bright yellow light -pipes along eastbound 1-394 at the Hwy. 100 interchange. The light -pipes consume little energy because one 50 -watt bulb Completion -petted C73 Fall '91 T -\K illuminates each segment of photo -sensi- tive material throughout the length of the tube that runs along the top of the high- way median. In a joint venture with 3M, Mn/DOT is testing the light -pipes for visibility, weather resistance and effec- tiveness. So far this technology has been successful and Mn/DOT plans to leave it operational until eastbound traffic is switched onto the permanent roadway in 1992. The 3M prototype is being studied for further use in inclement weather situations. A similar light -pipe was tested along 1-94 in St. Paul last summer. Express Lane Use Up More than 1,200 vehicles are currently using the 1-394 Express Lane during rush hour each morning and afternoon, according to recent Minnesota Department of Transportation studies. Morning Express Lane use has increased more than 40 percent since October 1990, while afternoon use has increased more than 80 percent. The Express Lane is continuous from Wayzata to downtown, with access now available to Hwy. 100 motorists as well. Carpoolers can park free in the County Road 73 or General Mills Blvd. Park and Ride lots, save travel time by using the Express Lane, and park for just $10 per month in the 5th or 7th St. Garages. While the 5th Street Garage is full each day, space remains available in the 7th Street Garage. Later this year, more space will be available in the 7th Street Garage.

PLYMOUTH R1D&EDALE PENNSYLVANIA ROAD DRIVE PARK AND RIDE L015 CIM APR 12'91 Transit Facilities continued from page I With input from local and national transit planners and facility designers, Mn/DOT has developed transit facilities for 1-394 that use state-of-the-art design. The lighting levels, landscape, heated passenger shelters and signage are all integrated to elicit a unique identity for the facilities. "Commuters can drive directly to the Transit Centers' Park and Ride lots or take a bus from residential areas to satellite Transit Centers," said Randy Rosvold, senior planner at the Regional Transit Board. The Transit Centers will be located at the Plymouth Rd. and Louisiana Ave. interchanges and in Wayzata at Wayzata Blvd. and Barry Avenue. Park and Ride lots will be available at all three Transit Centers as well as at General Mills Blvd., County Road 73 and Vernon Ave. All are expected to be on line in 1992. When they do, 140 buses will be running during the rush hours through- out the corridor, compared to today's 120 buses. Transit Routes serving the Centers and the Park and Ride lots will operate on a "timed -transfer" concept, based on routing and scheduling buses so that connections at specified centers can be guaranteed. Schedules will be greatly simplified, making it easier for riders to predict bus arrival and departure times. When completed, the new system is expected to relieve traffic and conges- tion, and better serve both downtown and Western suburban employees and shoppers.

On Friday, we mailed you the license application materials. As Myra and I explained, we currently do not have outdoor liquor operations in the City of the type you described. After discussing your proposal further, we have concerns about whether it would be approved by the City Council. It is unlikely it would be supported by staff. If your application for an on -sale liquor license is contingent on City approval of the type of outdoor liquor sales you described, we would suggest that you write a letter describing what you are proposing before submitting a license application. Your letter would be shared with the City Council, and we could get feedback on whether they will consider this type of operation. This would be a way of checking as to whether your proposal would be entertained by the Council without significant cost to you. It is not meant to hinder your application process. You also have the option of submitting the license application without Council feedback; however, the investigation fee of $500 is nonrefundable. In other words, you could lose the $500 if your application was denied by the Council or if you chose to withdraw your application should outdoor sales not be allowed. If there is further information I can provide, please call me at 550-5014.

This study was completed by the City's traffic consultant, Strgar-Roscoe-Fausch, Inc., and prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations as established by the Minnesota Department of Transportation. Enclosed is a copy of the study for your review and comments. . The study makes the following recommendations: 1. Because of existing school policy, there are not a significant number of students crossing Zachary Lane going to or coming from regularly scheduled school classes or activities. Because of this, a school speed limit is not justified at this time. 2. If the school district would change their policy and allow students to walk to school, then a school crosswalk should be established at the north school driveway. The following actions should also be implemented with the crosswalk: a. A 25 m.p.h. school zone speed limit be established b. School crossing guards be provided at the crosswalk. 3. Since there are a significant number of non -school related pedestrians crossing at the north school driveway, that a pedestrian crosswalk be established at this location. The pedestrian crosswalk should be marked with the appropriate signing. C!v A?N 12- '91 3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD.

'the law was meant to implement a program to share tax base in the Metropolitan Area. I do not believe it should be used to fund specific programs. Our needs are growing, particularly in the human services area, but those needs are growing in all communities, and should be funded from other sources. Since it went into effect in 1975, this law has been doing just what it was intended to do: allowing the resources of the region to be shared more equally. It recognizes that our Metro Area functions as a single economic unit. It also recognizes that economic development is spurred by regional facilities and services, such as highways, sewers and airports, and that many of these services resulted from decisions made by the Metro Council many years ago. Cities should not be punished again today for not receiving some of those facilities back in the '60s. The fact is that the law has worked well over the years. The disparity in commercial -industrial tax base among metro communities has been reduced (among cities with more than 9,000 residents) to four to one. Without fiscal disparities, that ratio today would be 22 to one. But I think the major reason I support fiscal disparities as strongly as I do is when I look at the cities that are benefitting from the tax -base -sharing. Even after the redistribution of tax base, they have a lower taxing capacity than the "contributor" cities. So if that pool were diminished, it would adversely affect their ability to deal with those same needs felt in all our cities. Fiscal disparities is unique, and it's one of those very rare government initiatives that work exceedingly well. Let's not allow it to be weakened in this session of the legislature.

District 284 officials have made it quite clear to me that the purpose of a special levy referendum election before November, 1991 is to allow the district to more realistically craft its tight budget for the 1991-92 school year. It is interesting to me that school district officials are citing good financial management as the rationale for the bill --- the same reason you give for opposing SF 712. I am not taking a position either for or against District 284's levy proposal. However, I do feel school officials should be given the opportunity to take their case to the voters of the district. These voters are in the best position to determine whether the district should raise and spend more local dollars for education. Having been to several well -attended meetings in suburban areas on property taxes and in pushing my own proposal for eliminating the third tier, I am acutely aware of the deep-felt anger among suburban homeowners over property taxes. Given that, and the widespread visibility of the issue in the media, I do not believe it will be possible for the school district to hold a quiet levy referendum. COMMITTEES: Education. Vice Chair • Health and Human Services • Local Government • Economic Development and Housing C" APR 12'91 r=te I am disappointed that there is such a sharp disagreement between the school district and the city over this issue.

Our concern is the critical need for a Police/School Liaison Officer. We are well aware that thus far the funding has not been provided for such a position. However, we feel the legislation, which has been proposed by Representative Ann Rest, would provide a fair and equitable distribution of program services (liaison officer) and assessment of costs throughout all of the cities represented at Armstrong. The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching asked every community to work: for the cause of public education in a Study conducted in 1963. They stated that "Schools can rise no higher than the communities that support them." We are urging your support in order that this legislation might become a reality. The approval of this resolution is crucial to our children and our community. Your- support is appreciated and needed.

At the April 2 meeting, the District 281 school board discussed the proposed legislation which would authorize a special levy by school districts to fund police/school liaison officers. Several board members voiced their concerns about the city of Plymouth's decision not to support the legislation and asked me to respond that all district students deserve a safe environment in which to be educated. As leaders in the community, we all need to recognize that our area is changing. Students in our schools and in our communities are coming to school with many more complex problems than in the past. While these differences affect the learning environment, we also see the effects of these differences in our communities. The police/school liaison officer proposal recognizes these changes and provides an opportunity for the district and its communities to jointly address the situation. We anticipate that the need for this additional support will continue to grow. As a board, we see a great deal of benefit in providing full-time police/school liaison officers in the district's four middle schools and two high schools. The officers would obviously be called on to handle specific crime -related situations, but would also play in role in preventing negative behavior. Officers working directly with all schools would also improve communication between the district and cities and provide a means for parents to communicate with local police departments. It is crucial that all cities in District 281 show their support of this legislation and without your support, the effort is weakened. Because four district schools are currently in the city of Plymouth, we think it is important for the city council to provide this service to their children. Many of the students who would benefit reside in Plymouth. Your support is a logical extension of the support you have shown through the DARE program and the summer activities program. We need you to reconsider this important issue and offer your support as the legislation is introduced and advances in the Legislature. To answer any questions or to provide you with additional information, board representatives will attend your next meeting. Thank you for the opportunity to discuss this legislation with you.

The officer who took the report indicated that you were instrumental in the clearance of the theft and, ultimately, the arrest of the suspect involved. Congratulations! I understand that you were working at the IDS building when you observed a car pulling up to a forklift at the New Horizon Daycare Center construction site. You watched the suspect place a purple blanket on top of his car, and then load several sheets of plywood on top and drive away. You then got in your own car and followed the suspect westbound on Highway 55 and continued behind the suspect when he turned north on West Medicine Lake Drive. You were able to ID the suspect and obtain the registration number of the car. The car listed to a person living in St. Louis Park. The reporting officer followed up on your information and visited the St. Louis Park address. Eleven sheets of plywood were found in the garage at the suspect's home. Thanks to you a crime was cleared and a criminal will be punished! Thanks for getting involved. Sincerely, Richard J.fyDirector ui t Public Saf Plymouth Police Department RJC/sb cc: James G.

With enactment of this provision, the citizens of Plymouth will have the option of petitioning for a referendum on the question of when to hold the municipal election.

BOARD AND COMMISSION INTERVIEWS Councilmember Zitur contacted me about comments made by Walter J. Schuelke at his interview with councilmembers on an appointment to one of the city boards or commissions. Councilmember Zitur stated that Mr. Schuelke made comments regarding curb repair which took place adjacent to his property. He requested more information on this matter. The curb repair was done in conjunction with the 1988 Seal Coating and Curb Repair Project. Attached are copies of three letters received from Mr. Schuelke in July and August of 1988. I am also enclosing copies of responses from Dan Campbell, Sr. Engineering Technician and Chester Harrison, City Engineer addressing Mr. Schuelke's concerns. As a result of Mr. Schuelke's concerns in 1988, revisions as outlined by City Engineer Chet Harrison were made to the specifications for 1989 and future years. In talking with Dan Campbell, these changes corrected the problems which Mr. Schuelke addressed. FGM:kh attachments �:j rpr? 12'91 JULY 1 1,198 MR.

N., TO REVIEW THE CONDITION OF MY DRIVEWAY. MY UNDERSTANDING OF OUR CONVERSATION IS THAT THE DRIVEWAY WILL BE REPAIRED BY SAWING OFF THE DAMAGED AREA, COMPACTING THE GRAVEL BASE AND AND PUTTING DOWN EQUIVALENT NEW BLACKTOP WHICH WILL BE SEALED BOTH TO THE EXISTING DRIVE AND OF ITSELF. I WAS PRESENT WHEN THE CURBING WAS REMOVED AND WAS THEREFORE ABLE TO PLACE A MARKER AT THE LIMIT OF THE LIFTED AREA OF THE EXISTING DRIVEWAY BLACKTOP. THIS REPAIR CAN BE EXPECTED TO HAPPEN SHORTLY AFTER THE CONCRETE HAS CURED FOR THREE DAYS. AS I STATED, I AM STILL CONCERNED ABOUT THE STREET, WHERE SIMILAR LIFTING OF THE ROAD SURFACE OCCURRED AND WHERE LEAKING HYDRAULIC FLUID FROM THE BACKHOE USED TO REMOVE THE CURBING CAUSED DETERIORATION OF THE ROAD SURFACE. I WOULD EXPECT NORMAL PRACTISE WOULD BE TO REMOVE AND REPLACE THESE AREAS BEFORE SEALING IN ORDER TO ASSURE INTEGRITY AND DURAB I L I TYOF THE STREET.

Schuelke 16020 46th Avenue North Plymouth, MN 55446 SUBJECT: 1988 CONCRETE CURB REPAIR PROJECT Dear Mr. Schuelke: Thank you for the letter stating your concerns about the concrete curb repair project presently taking place on your street. Our present specifications do not stipulate which type of curb removal process the contractor needs to do as part of the project. The process that this contractor is using by trying to lift the curb out and not jackhammer everything works in some cases. We have had success lifting the curb out and not disrupting the area behind the curb. When this is possible, the contractor can use the edge of the driveway as a form for placing the new concrete curb. It is our feeling that we would get higher bid prices if we were to require the contractor to jackhammer out all of the curb that needs to be replaced and removed it by hand. This would not guarantee that there would not be some disruption of the gravel base underneath the existing driveways themselves. By doing the driveway repair work, with our own crews, we feel that we can give the public a better job of restoration. During the process of street repair where the curb has been removed, we will take out the area of bituminous that shows signs of distress and replace it. We also have had occasions where hydraulic fluid has leaked on the streets from contractors equipment in the past. If the hydraulic fluid amount was not _too_.great,_we have not noticed any deterioration of the road surface once it has been sealcoated. This whole curb replacement project and sealcoating program is our effort to assure an infrastructure that will last for many years with minimum amount of maintenance needed. We are seeing a problem with this contractor about cleaning up concrete chunks and dirt from the replacement of the curb. We have been told a number of times by the contractor that he will clean up his excavation and has not. Our only recourse to get the contractor to do a better job of cleaning up is to hold off on payment until all cleanup has been done for curb removed to date. We thank you for your patience and are sorry for inconveniences this project has caused you. Sincerely, Daniel K. Campbell Senior Engineering Technician DKC:kh cc: Fred G.

Plymouth, Mn. 55446 CITY OF PUMOUTR SUBJECT: 1988 CONCRETE CURB REPAIR PROGRAM Dear Mr. Schuelke: The following is our response to you concerning the course of action we will be taking to complete the 1988 Curb Repair Program per the project specifications. Let me assure you that we will require the contractor to adhere fully to the specifications which apply to this project prior to final payment being made. Upon our review of the concrete curb and gutter specifications, we agree that modifications need to be done. I will address each area that you had concerns about: Special Provisions: Item 6: Bituminous Street and Drive Replacement In the future, in order to minimize the amount of driveway and street replacement the contractor will be required to saw -cut the adjacent bituminous a minimum distance only enough to allow placement of the concrete forms. Item 7: Previous Work Record This item should not have been included in the curb and gutter specifications because it referred to previous seal coat work. Item 13: Payment Payment will continue to be made per lineal foot. This is done to accommodate the adding or subtracting of curb replacement as determined in the field by City employees. The method of concrete curb removal will be specified to include saw -cutting each side of failed area and then n , n k/oonI ITU on It r - II ,rnn OI VIkAnI IrU \AIf, IPICCn rA CCAA7 TCI Cf11Jn KIC /C+/1\ CC 70nn Vhfo RPR 12'91 striking the curb with a weight to separate the section to be removed from the good concrete curb. Concrete Curb and Gutter General Requirements: The general requirements were taken directly from standard specifications used on all of the City's new concrete curb installation projects. Item 2.E: Joint Filler No joint filler is required to be used. Item 5: Preparation of Foundation Proper compaction in the case of curb repair where the base has been minimally disturbed, is smoothing of the disturbed base and hand tamping. The contractor was observed doing compaction by our field personnel. Item 6.B: Forms: Setting: Where the contractor has failed to provide improper grade due to poor form setting, he will be required to either remove and replace the affected section or resurface the area and bring the flow line to proper grade. Item 7: Joints Only contraction joints are required and this was done by the contractor. Item 7.B: Reinforcing Reinforcing rods are required on new service trenches. There are no new service trenches and therefore this will be deleted. Item 8.C: Concrete: Finishing: Face forms would need to be removed while the concrete is still green only to finish the front of the curb, which is not required. The exposed surface of the curb is the only surface required to be uniformly finished. Item 8.F. Curing and Protection: It is apparent that the contractor finished the concrete surface with at least one coat of spray -on curing compound. It was not observed whether a second coat was applied. We will look into this further to determine how important a second coat is. � ac) "r�`' APP 12 '91 = ac -'R,, Item 9.A. Backfilline No backfilling operations were actually observed by City personnel. Your pictures show that some concrete chunks may have been left behind the curb while backfilling took place. Future projects will need more on-site inspection to keep this from happening. The current wording does require that selected material from the excavation should be used for backfill. Item 9.B. Disposal of excess material: The contractor will be required to remove all debris left on the vacant lot at the end of 46th Avenue. We will keep our eyes open for other areas where excess material may have been deposited before final payment is made. Turf Establishment General Requirements: The first attempt by the contractor to place sod was totally unacceptable and not in accordance with the turf establishment specifications. After sitting down and discussing with the contractor what we expect as acceptable final restoration, he is beginning to do better work. No final payment will be made until all restoration work has been done according to the specifications. We feel that the annual Curb Repair and Seal Coat project is an important part of our Pavement Management program. Maintenance projects such as this are designed to save the tax payers money in the long run. It seems that improvements can always be made to any system and we welcomed your comments and suggestions.

They directed me to write this letter requesting information from you. The Council has requested information on the following: 1. Is there a speed limit established for the trains? Does it differ by direction traveled? 2. There does not appear to be consistency between the length and number of horn blasts sounded from train to train as they approach roadway intersections. Is there a minimum number of horn blasts required? Will the number and duration of horn blasts decrease because Zachary already has a drop arm signal and Pineview will have one in 1991? 3. What types of hazardous chemicals are carried on a typical train through Plymouth?. Do you have any idea of the quantity of hazardous chemicals by type that are carried through Plymouth on a typical day, week, or month? 4. Given the fact this track is part of the main line, what types of inspections are made of this trackage and what is the schedule for the inspections? 3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD, PLYMOUTH.

Box 530 Minneapolis, Minnesota 55440 (612) 347-5000 OPERATING DEPARTMENT This is in response to your letter to me of September 11, 1990 concerning our train operations through your city. I appreciate the interest of your Mayor and City Council in our operations towards safety for all concerned. Below I have answered your specific questions, and I remain available to respond to any others. 1. The train speed on the track in question is 40 m.p.h. This is specific to the area of Zachary Street and Pineview Street. Zachary street is located on our railroad at MP 11.1. Eastbound trains would be reducing speed through this area since a speed limit of 20 m.p.h. begins at MP 9.5 eastward. 2. There is consistency in the whistle blasts for grade crossings in that our operating rules require two long blasts, one short blast, and one long blast to be the sequence for every crossing. The length of each blast may vary somewhat between individual Engineers. Also, if an Engineer sees traffic on or approaching the crossing, he may extend the length of the blasts in the interest of preventing a mishap. These whistling requirements are the same whether or not crossing gates are in place at a crossing. 3. Soo Line moves approximately 11,000 hazardous material cars on this segment of track annually. The principal hazardous commodities are anhydrous ammonia, methanol, and sulphur. Mr. Frank Boyles Page 2 September 25, 1990 4. Track inspections are performed by our track inspectors and section crews a minimum of six times per week. Annually this track is also covered by a rail detector car which uses high technology for defect detection. In addition, periodic inspection trips are made by railroad officials. Again, I thank you for your concern. Please feel free to ask for any other information you may need. We appreciate the residents of Plymouth as good neighbors and hope we are doing our part to be good neighbors. Sincerely, C. M.
