TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Eric J. Blank, Director, Parks and Recreation 6,"31
SUBJECT: Park Project Updates
Outlined below is the status of the projects that have been underway in the parks during the last
few months.
1. The new Elm Creek shelter building is completed and received an occupancy permit and
approval from the Hennepin County Health Department. The building will be used for the
first time this weekend as we host a 54—team men's regional softball tournament at the
Elm Creek complex.
2. The Zachary Playfield playground replacement project is complete at this time. The new
playground is probably the largest within the City and is worth stopping by and taking a
look at. It has many unique features including some nice seating areas for parents
throughout the area with small plantings.
3. The St. Mary's playground replacement has also been completed. Although the
playground is open for public use, there is a limited amount of sod replacement that still
needs to be completed.
4. The new playground for Shenandoah Park has been completed. This park is located at the
intersection of 22nd Avenue and Shenandoah Lne. It's one of our first official mini parks
to be built in the City.
5. The new playground and sand volleyball courts at the Elm Creek Playfield are completed
and open for public use. One of the unique features at this new playground is the first
installation of a climbing wall in the state of Minnesota. This is not a very high wall; it is
intended for children to climb around it,rather than over it,to get the experience of
working their hands and feet and building upper body strength.
6. The Plymouth Creek disc golf course is completed at this time with all the T—boxes and
benches in place. The new 12—hole course has been receiving a tremendous amount of
play during recent months.
7. To date, we have sold over 300 bricks for the Millennium Garden and have cash on
hand,or pledges totaling over $42,000. Our business fund raising campaign will be kicked
off here in the next week or 10 days. The Millennium Garden plan will be presented to
the Council at one of your next study sessions.
8. The removal of the mildew contaminated drywall at the Plymouth Ice Center will
commence on August 14. The drywall will be replaced with a new product which is
impervious to moisture. The new dehumidification system will be re -bid in September or
October and the bids presented to the Council for award.
9. The ornamental lighting throughout the rest of Plymouth Creek Park will be installed the
first week of September.

I liked...

♦ The organization of the forum. The different programs offered to the youth by the
Plymouth Council
♦ The topics, the food, and that people felt comfortable sharing their opinions.
♦ Interaction with City Council
♦ Hearing some things that are going on.
♦ Variety of activities and seeing people that I knew there.
♦ Extra credit for geography
♦ Knowing the activities that the Youth Council is planning
♦ the questions at the end
♦ the fact that the city is getting younger people involved
♦ the city council people who stayed and answered questions
I didn't like...
♦ it was hard to find out about (the forum)

♦ 2nd small groups
♦ How students came for extra credit.
♦ Awkward silences between discussions.
♦ long speeches

♦ being in the same group twice
♦ the rec center idea
I learned...

wonderful organization

♦ more about the community and the organizations and groups we have in Plymouth
♦ about project and events
♦ how I can get involved
♦ youth is important
a lot about Youth Council and things that go on in the city
1� 2-J
♦ There is a road expansion program for 101. It will take real-estate prices down and
people's resale value on their homes will be decreased.
♦ Different options such as volunteer jobs, which are provide, also the importance of
youth to the council.

RE: proposed extension of Jewel Lane
Dear City Office Members:
My husband and I bought a town -house in the Centex development in December 2000. We own the lot
closest to the intersection of Jewel lane and the railroad tracks. As you may expect we are opposed to
extending the road for the following reasons. We would be subjected to train whistles and other noise
from all trains going both east and west , night and day. As it is now, only east bound trains whistle due to
a bend in the tracks- Because of the proximity of our house and all houses to the tracks, this noise is loud,
very loud. We really can't beep our windows open as it is. This is a reluctant compromise we had to make
after we moved in. (Centex was not forthcoming about the train tracks on any of their prints, we did not
know a train track was present). A road and railroad crossing would increase the noise by 100%, as trains
going both east and west would have to signal. This is both night and day. This would impact both the
townhouse owners and the single family home owners in both Centex developments. we would not have
any buffers of trees or distance from this noise. It would effectively ruin our ability to sell our house and to
live in it. I advise you all to visit our neighborhood and see for yourselves.
The new development of Lundgren Brothers on the north side of Jewel Lane has both a buffer of trees and
distance from the tracks. They would be least impacted, Of course these homes are more expensive and
this leads to another issue that I believe Plymouth government has identified as important to the city and
that is affordable housing. We chose this development because it was modest in price.
I do not want the City of Plymouth to sacrifice lower income housing for 2-3 minutes of extra travel time
for wealthy home owners to reach ? Schmidt Lake Road. This is what, in essence a crossing would do at
this site.
I do not need to remind you of the additional potential consequence of changes in the railroads use of this
track. The railroad could increase speed and lengtlt and frequency of its trains and also its cargo. No
homeowner would have recourse to stop a change such as these. The city of Mankato is dealing with just
such an issue.
I think the city of Plymouth needs to support tb# •eighborhoods of lower income housing as much as it
does promote the growth of expensive WIM
Th,utk you for your time.
Sincerely,
EAA-4%

Dear Joan:
Thank you for calling to our attention that one of the advance warning signs for the speed
hump on South Shore Drive was partially hidden by the growth of the trees. The Forestry
crews have removed trees/branches to make the sign visible. Also, the speed hump sign
which was removed by vandals has been replaced.
Again, thanks for calling this to our attention so we could correct the situation.

Phil Corkery
15642 N. Woodgate Rd.
Minnetonka, MN 55345
SUBJECT: 17925 — 30' AVENUE NORTH
Dear Phil:
I am responding to your July 20 letter to Mayor Joy Tierney concerning pumping which
you stated took place after a large rainfall event a few weeks ago. You stated that water
was pumped into your lot at 17925 — 30th Avenue. Although pumping did take place, it
was not done by the City of Plymouth, but by the Hennepin County Transportation
Department.
Through conversations with our Maintenance employees, I have learned that the drainage
culvert under 30th Avenue which conveys the water along the drainage ditches was
plugged. The water from the north side of 30th Avenue normally flows through this culvert
to the ditch on the south side of 30th Avenue. Approximately 50 feet south of 30th Avenue
there is a culvert which flows easterly under County Road 101 and connects to the
Plymouth storm drainage system. At this same location there is also a culvert which has
been extended by the property owner between your lot and County Road 101 to allow the
drainage from the low area on your property to flow into the County Road 101 ditch.
After the heavy rainfall and with the plugged culvert, the water level in the ditch on the
north side of 30th Avenue was up to the roadway elevation. The County was unable to
remove the blockage from the culvert, and therefore, they pumped the water from the north
side of the roadway into the ditch on the south side of the roadway. If the culvert had been
functioning properly, this is where the water would have flowed during the rainfall. Since
that time, the County has corrected the plugged culvert problem and in the future the
drainage should be conveyed as planned.
The rainfall which you are talking about was approximately four or five inches. The
drainage systems are not designed for this amount of water at one time, and therefore, it is
very likely that the existing drainage system could not handle all the water entering the
system. For this reason, water could have flowed backwards through the culvert into the
low area in your yard, but it was not pumped.
