(M-7) 3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD, PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447, TELEPHONE (612) 559-2800 CITY COUNCIL INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM May 22, 1987 Page two FOR YOUR INFORMATION...... 1. FINAL 1987 TAX BILL -- Bob Renner of the MLC has provided me with a copy of the estimated 1988 property tax impact based upon the provisions that were contained in the 1987 Omnibus Tax Bill. These data are currently aggregated by region and are not specific to each city. The House Research Department is currently in the process of developing a computer run for each of our MLC cities. When this information is available, I will share it with the Council. The bottom line is, of course, that while Plymouth is in the metro suburbs west area, our average home value is substantially greater than the $90,900 used in the attached example. You will note in the data sheet that the taconite cities will be receiving a 14.8% decrease in their net property tax for 1988. This actually translates into a $25 per year reduction in their property taxes. The " onerous' tax burden currently borne by those folks amounts to $174 a year! In the west metro suburban area, however, the property taxes are estimated to go up $128 for the average homestead or 10.2%. It absolutely defies logic and reason that intelligent people can come to a conclusion that typical residential property owners in the western suburban community should have a property tax burden greater than nine times that of the similarly situated residential homeowners in the taconite area. Even if the outstate (non -metro) area is used, the property tax burden is more than three and one-half times greater in the western suburban area than it is outstate. Yet, this is the tax bill which the Governor and the DFL leaders in the House and Senate proclaim as embodying meaningful and far-reaching tax reform. I continue to believe that it demonstrates their continuing " rapacious appetite for property expropriation' (RAPE) of the metropolitan area. (I-1) 2. HONEYWELL AVIONICS FACILTY -- This past Monday I received a telephone call from a Honeywell Avionics employee residing in Plymouth. He informed me that his division, currently located in St. Louis Park, was in the process of looking for a new site. The division employs approximately 800 people and is looking for a 160,000 sq. ft. facility. According to information this individual received, two sites were being looked at; one in Plymouth (the Tennant site), and the second in Coon Rapids. Apparently, one of the individuals responsible for site selection within the Honeywell organization had circulated a memo to the employees indicating that the Coon Rapids site appeared to have the edge as that community appeared to be more interested in having Honeywell locate there than was Plymouth, and further that they were prepared to offer certain incentives. On Tuesday, I tried to reach Mr. Dayton Anderson at Honeywell, who Is the individual responsible for the site selection. I also received a call on Tuesday from Councilmember Sisk who had heard from another Plymouth resident and Honeywell employee who had read CITY COUNCIL INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM May 22, 1987 Page three the same memo and expressed his concern. On Wednesday, Mr. Anderson and I did have an opportunity to visit about the matter. Honeywell has apparently been looking at the two sites. They were workina with Opus in considering a portion of the Tennant Company site and with some other developer with regard to a Coon Rapids site. Mr. Anderson indicated that the officials in Coon Rapids were very interested in having Honeywell in their community and had offered certain " concession S" regarding local property taxes as well as providing some unspecified day care services. Mr. Anderson indicated they had pretty well settled on the Coon Rapids site as it appeared to be more attractive economically. Both Blair and Fred have met during the past several weeks with Opus Development people regarding possible development on the Tennant site. They were asked by Opus representatives to keep the Honeywell name confidential. No Honeywell employee attended these meetings or contacted us while these discussions were being held. And no mention of the need for " concessiont' was made other than the need to occupy the new facility in February. 3. MEETING WITH PETE MEYER -- Mayor Schneider asked me to inform ouncilmembers that he has been in touch with Pete Meyer with regard to seeking his services in an effort to assist the Council in improving the Job description/performance evaluation criteria for the City Manager's position. Pete has recommended to the Mayor that he, the Mayor, and I meet initially to try to scope the subject and then subsequently meet with all Councilmembers. The Mayor informs me that he has scheduled a meeting at Pete Meyer's office on dune 4. The Mayor indicated that Pete felt this would save on his time and be more economical for the City. 4. ELM CREEK WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN -- The Metropolitan Council has completed its review of the Elm Creek Watershed Management Plan. The Council has determined that the Elm Creek watershed plan is consistent with the metropolitan system plans and will not cause any amendment to local city comprehensive plans. The management plan for the Bassett Creek Watershed has been submitted for Metropolitan Council review. The Shingle Creek plan has not yet been completed. 5. RUTH BROWN - RESIGNATION -- Ruth Brown, Recreation Specialist, has tendered her resignation effective Friday, May 29. Ruth started with the City full-time in 1984. Prior to that time, she worked six months on a part-time basis. Her primary responsibilities with the City have included our beach program, swimming lessons, youth soccer, children's programming and special events. She has proven to be a very talented individual and will be a tough person to replace. Ruth has agreed to continue to work part-time for us until we have found and adequately trained a replacement to ensure the high quality that we need at our beaches and summer swimming programs. Ruth is leaving to begin a private consultinq business dealing in the area of aquatics. We have already begun the process of advertising for this position and are hopeful we can have a replacement by dune 20. CITY COUNCIL INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM May 22, 1987 Page four 6. 1987 VALUATION NOTICES -- 1987 valuation notices are being mailed today to all Plymouth property owners. The valuation notices convey the City Assessor's 1987 estimated market value and further notify the property owner that the local Board of Review will be meeting on June 2. These values are a result of our recently completed 1987 assessment. Due to market changes and inflation most residential values in the City have been increased approximately 6%. The following is a listing demonstrating the changes in values by property type when comparing the 1986 to the 1987 assessment: Percent Change Property Type in Values Residential Homestead + 5% to + 8.5% Residential Lakeshore + 5% to + 8.5% Townhouses 0% to + 3.5% Permalease 0% to + 3.5% Condominiums 0% to - 10% Apartments + 6.5% Commercial and Industrial + 3.5% Exceptions to the above changes in market values would include new construction, quartile, reappraisal, and/or other market adjust- ments. 7.

May 20, 1987 CITY OF PLYMOUTH+ Mr. Mark Andrew, Chairman Hennepin County Board of Commissioners A-2400 Government Center Minneapolis, MN 55487 RE: HENNEPIN COUNTY SOLID WASTE TRANSFER STATION ALTERNATIVES REPORT Dear Commissioner Andrew: I recently had the opportunity of meeting with representatives of the County staff and your solid waste consultants to discuss a May 11 report dealing with potential alternative sites for solid waste transfer stations. The site preferred by the staff is located at the intersection of County Road 6 and I-494 in Plymouth. The City Council has briefly reviewed this report and the potential need for a solid waste transfering station in western Hennepin County. While it's fair to conclude that the City Council's initial reaction to the report is not one of endorsement, they do want to become more conversant with the issue and particularly, the County Board's thinking with respect to the need for a site in this area. Mayor Schneider and the Council would appreciate having the opportunity of meetinq with you and your fellow commissioners here at the Plymouth City Center at 5:30 p.m. on Monday, June 8 for approximately 1 to 1-1/2 hours to review this subject. We will provide a light supper. Plymouth is working diligently to attempt to meet its solid waste recycling goals and further recognizes the need to be a participating part of the solid waste solution in Hennepin County. We believe, therefore, that a joint meeting on June 8 will be mutually productive. We look forward to meeting with you and your fellow commissioners on June 8. Yours truly, J sl � es G.

Board positions that expire in ,June 1987 are: Mayor Kelly Ferber, Fergus Falls; Mayor Duane Knutson, Fertile; Mayor Bob Benke, New Brighton, the term of Mayor Connie Morrison now held by Liz Witt, Councilmember, Mendota Heights. The officers of the League of Minnesota Cities, the president and vice president are elected annually. The nominating committee will work with the guidelines for board representation, which were developed as a result of the deliberations of past nominating committees. Those guidelines appear on page 2 as well as a listing of nominating committee members. Enclosed also is a listing of the present board members and officers of the League. We are asking for your help in putting forth candidates for board of directors and officers. Tf you know of a city official who would be considered for nomination, please give his or her name and a brief resume of qualifications to Helen Schendel, Associate Director or to a member of the nominating committee. Our goal is to make sure that any good candidate is considered. Whether or not to let an individual know that you are submitting his or her name is, of course, up to you. The nominating committee, however, makes it a practice to confirm the fact that an individual is willing to serve before presenting his or her name to the annual conference. Thank you in advance for your help and the nominating committee assures you that all suggestions will be seriously considered. Sincerely, Steve Cramer Councilmember, Minneapolis Chairperson, Nominating Committee university avenue east, st. paul, m nnesota 551 01 C612)227-5600 The following is a listing of the Nominating Committee members: Steve Cramer, Councilmember, Minneapolis, Chairperson Karen Anderson, Councilmember, Minnetonka Estelle Gunkel, Mayor, Elk River Bob Haarman, Administrator/Clerk, Sauk Rapids Morris Lanning, Mayor, Moorhead Mary Lofy, Councilmember, Mankato Michael Schmit, Clerk -Treasurer, Willmar Lawrence Sunsdahl, Mayor, Stephen John Pidgeon, City Manger, Bloomington CTTTT)F.T.TNF.S 1. Geographic and Population Size Representation There has been a conscious effort to see that different parts of the state are represented on the Board, as well as the different sizes of cities that are among the League's constituency. 2. Twin Cities Area/Outstate Balance While there are no specific seats on the Board reserved for Twin Cities area or outstate members, it has been a consistent practice to maintain a rough balance of Board members from those areas. 3. Elected/Appointed Balance Traditionally both elected and appointed municipal officials have participated in all aspects of the League's activities, including membership in the Board of Directors. Although no specific number of seats on the Board are reserved for elected as distinct from appointed officials, it has been consistent practice to have a majority of the Board composed of elected officials. Furthermore, there has been some effort to provide an opportunity for a variety of appointed officials (e.g., clerks, city managers, attorneys, assessors, etc.) to serve on the Board. 4. Rotation of Membership In view of the fact that the League has more than 770 member cities any individual who serves a full term on the Board is not normally considered for another Board term. However, persons with Board experience are often considered as potential officers. 1 LMC Board of Directors and Officers January, 1987 - June, 1987 President: James F.

Plymouth City Center 3400 Plymouth Avenue Plymouth, Mn. 55447 Dear Sir, Safety Dev. . When our property was purchased in 1962, at 1940 E. Medicine Lake Blvd., a public boat rental at the 1920 address had twelve rowboats to rent which was a small business. There are now many dozen row- boats, some of which are towed over from another location when the need arises. There are several pontoon boats and many buoys set out to anchor sailboats and speedboats. These buoys are at the 1920, 2040 and 2900 addresses on Medicine Lake Blvd. Please send us the information as to when and why the City approved this enlargement of Hartys' Boat Rental into a marina and how we can stop this grow- ing business. The City spent money to put in a walking path and it is blocked by parked cars at the 1920 address so children and adults go out into the busy street to get around these cars. Please keep this walking path clear for everyones use so there will not be a terrible accident at this location. A month after Hartys' Boat Rental opened this year a satelite was rented which is an eyesore to look at all summer. Before the sate - lite was rented, with -in twenty minutes, two people tried to urinate on our property. What types of business in Plymouth require a City license and what toilet facilities must be provided? A blacktop lake access was put in to assist Hartys' Bait Store with- out notifying the neighbors. Please send a copy of the contract the City has with this new lake access. We expect prompt action on these complaints so that we may again enjoy a quiet residential neighborhood. 1 y �7L- Leonard & Marian Larson 1940 E.

Boyles: May 18, 19P7 I have just spent a miserable veekend at my homestead at 1940 East Medicine hake Blvr', caused by the activities of the Harty Boat Drina located at 197.0 East Nbcaicine Ieke Blvd. I ha -e owned my home for almost 26 years which is far lonFPr than the Hrrty N-rina operation, Prior to 6 AM re-ple shut from the dock, their Geurd Dog Brrks, music frecuentl-- plays Pnd the traffic noise is rot tolerable. When I purchased my home Sheldors Boat rental was next door which was an operation with abort 1?._ row boats.

In your letter you express concern about the expansion of Hardy's Boat Rental which has occurred over the years. The City of Plymouth issues a conditional use permit which contains certain limitations for the continued operation of this facility. I have referred this matter to Mr. Blair Tremere, the City's Director of Planning and Community Development. He has advised me that he will investigate the matter for possible Planning Commission and Council action. In either event, he will be contacting you to provide up to date information.

The letters and pictures have helped me gain a greater appreciation for your concerns. I have forwarded both letters and the pictures to the involved departments for their information. I have now received responses from the Director of Planning and Community Development, City Clerk, and Director of Park and Recreation regarding your May 5 letter. Attached is a copy of a memorandum from Community Development Director Blair Tremere with respect to your question about the growth of the Harty's Boat Rental. As you can see, the City Council's Resolution 84-875 made findings and established conditions regarding Harty's Boat Rental designed to regulate its growth. Also attached is a memorandum dated December 14, 1984 which provides an inventory of the equipment associated with the Harty's operation. City representatives will visit the site during the summer months to determine whether compliance with Resolution 84-875 is taking place, as well as to verify a number of points in your May 18 letter. Your second question was whether or not the no parking is being adequately enforced. I have asked the Public Safety Director to reevaluate enforcement efforts in this area. I have attached a copy of the agreement between the City and Harty's to maintain a winter public access as you requested. Your final question was about the type of licenses required for this facility. There are no City -issued licenses either for the satellite toilet facilities or the business. The only regulation on this " non-conforminq usc' is discussed in detail in the memorandum from Blair Tremere and attach- ments. Some of the situations you describe can only be enforced with your help. The parking, dog running loose, activities before 7:00 a.m., and similar Issues should be dealt with by phoning 911. We will alert police officers to these issues. If you believe it would be helpful, I would be glad to arrange for a meeting with you, Harty and City representatives to further discuss this matter. I think you should recognize that the City's objective will be to gain compliance with Resolution 84-875 and with other City Code provisions. It is not reasonable to expect the discontinuation of this operation as you might ultimately desire. 3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD, PLYMOUTH.

You asked that I provide information that would respond to the Larsons' first paragraph and as to any other aspects from a zoning perspective. The Larsons are concerned about the Harty Boat Rental operation. I have attached for your use a copy of City Council Resolution 84-875 which made find- ings and established conditions regarding the non -conforming commercial use known as "Harty's Boat Rental"; attached to that is a copy of a December 14, 1987 inventory of the Harty Boat Rental operation which was referenced as part of that Resolution. There are no additional special permits or licenses from a zoning perspective. This Resolution resulted after an extensive period of discussion and negotiation with Mr. Tom Harty who is now deceased. This Resolution and the inventory have been filed at Hennepin County and constitute a basis for acknowledging the degree of operation which could legitimately continue as a non -conforming use. The terms of the Resolution are very clear and expansion and enlargement of the opera- tion is rigidly controlled. I have also attached a map and several graphics which highlight the location of the two sites which constitute the Harty Boat Rental operation.

Attached is a memo which I prepared for the City Council along with the copy of the May 11 report and a " generid' transfer station site plan. Of the six sites evaluated, three are located in Plymouth. As noted above, the one at County Road 6 and I-494 is, in the County staff's opinion, clearly the best. Their second choice would be the County Home school site located in south Minnetonka. The site located on County Road 15 and I-494 (northeast quadrant) is not suitable and I am confident will not receive any further consideration. The Workhouse industrial park site focuses in on the industrial land that is currently being developed by United Properties on the west side of Niagara Lane north of County Road 6. Of the three Plymouth sites, I believe the site at County Road 6 and I-494 is clearly the best. We are not seeking a solid waste transfering facility and obviously have some concerns about the potential of such a facility beinq located in our community. At the Council's direction, I have corresponded with the County commissioners inviting them to a meeting to discuss this matter with our City Council early next month. Because of your company's extensive development in the Carlson Center specifically, and throughout the community generally, I know you would want to be informed about this development.

Attached is a memo which I prepared for the City Council along with the copy of the May 11 report and a " generid' transfer station site plan. Of the six sites evaluated, three are located in Plymouth. As noted above, the one at County Road 6 and I-494 is, in the County staff's opinion, clearly the best. Their second choice would be the County Home school site located in south Minnetonka. The site located on County Road 15 and I-494 (northeast quadrant) is not suitable and I am confident will not receive any further consideration. The Workhouse industrial park site focuses in on the industrial land that is currently being developed by United Properties on the west side of Niagara Lane north of County Road 6. Of the three Plymouth sites, I believe the site at County Road 6 and I-494 is clearly the best. We are not seeking a solid waste transfering facility and obviously have some concerns about the potential of such a facility beinq located in our community. At the Council's direction, I have corresponded with the County commissioners inviting them to a meeting to discuss this matter with our City Council early next month. Because of your company's extensive development in the Carlson Center specifically, and throughout the community generally, I know you would want to be informed about this development. I would be happy to meet with you or others to discuss your thoughts with respect to It at your convenience. Yours truly, am s -G.

At the meeting you expressed concern about the parties and noise occurring in the Timber Shores park area late at night, coupled with alcohol and drug usage and sales. Your concern is that these activities would tend. to be carried over onto the trail which is to be built as part of the Harrison Hills plat. Because of your complaint, I have sent a letter to three residents livinq directly adjacent to the Timber Shores Park. Two of these individuals live in the northwest portion of the park, just adjacent to the lake. I live on the southwest perimeter of the park, and the final individual lives on the southeast next door to the tot lot. In my letter (attached) I have asked each of them to be especially sensitive to the type of problems you have identified. I have encouraged them to call 911 immediately to eliminate the problems you have identified. I have also them to contact me so that I will be aware of the situation. Only through our combined vigilance can we eliminate any problem associated with the use of Timber Shores Park. Thank you for your concerns.

Since it is likely that the snowmobile or motorcycle will be gone by the time the police arrive, I would strongly encourage you to log the characteristics of the motorcycle/ snowmobile and the driver so that you can report this infor- mation to the police in as much detail as possible. You can also help by identifying at what time of day or night the trails are used by motorcycles or snowmobiles with regularity.

Banwart May 20, 1987 Mr, and Mrs. Wally Callenius 605 Pinev iew Lane Plymouth, Minnesota 55441 Dear Mr, and Mrs. Gallenius: This letter will address concerns which you discussed with Jim Willis, City Manager, on May 4. These items involve the berm along 6th Avenue and the disposal of the City owned property on which the berm has been constructed. The berm was constructed by the City at the request of the homeowners living along Windemere Drive. The purpose of the berm was to provide screening to 6th Avenue. Before the construction of 6th Avenue there was no roadway at this location, and there were also several trees within the area that had to be removed for the construction -of the roadway. In order to construct the berm at a minimal cost the City obtained free fill material for the berm. This took a substantial amount of dirt because of the height of the berm which was being requested. For this reason, and also because of some drainage problems which had to be resolved, it took a two year period to construct the berm. The final berm construction was completed in the summer of 1987. We did seed the berm last September, but because of the extremely dry fall followed by this dry spring the seed did not germinate and grow. For this reason there is reseeding necessary along the West end of the berm and also the East end of the berm adjacent to your property. One of your concerns are the thistles or noxious weeks on the berm. Last week the City sprayed the entire berm in order to kill the thistles. I looked at the berm today with the Environmental Supervisor and the thistles are showing very clear signs of curling up and dying. The Environmental Supervisor feels that this spraying has killed a majority of the thistles, but another spraying will be required this fall because of minor areas which have probably been missed. The City will again spray the entire berm this fall. The reseeding of the berm cannot take place for at least seven days after the spraying for the thistles. The City has hired a contractor and the reseeding of the area will take place the last week of May. In order to ensure that there is adequate water for seed growth, the contractor, which will be doing the seeding, will also water the berm as necessary. 3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD, PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447, TELEPHONE (612) 559-2800 Mr. and Mrs. Wally Callenius May 20, 1987 Page Two As you may be aware, the land area on which the berm is constructed has been declared a natural area by the City. This was done at the request of the property owners within this area. For this reason, no maintenance of this area is required except for the killing of noxious weeds. It is the intent of the City to deed the ownership for the land on which the berm is constructed to the adjoining property owners. We are presently working on a plan to divide the property into several parcels which coincide with the lot lines of the adjoining properties. After this is completed, we will have a meeting of all adjoining property owners to see if they are willing to accept the division of the property as proposed. Conditions which would be required for each property owner to agree to would be that the additional parcel of land would be attached legally to their existing lot, and therefore, they could not dispose of the land in the future without receiving City approval. There would also be conditions attached that no access would be permitted to 6th Avenue. If any property owner was not willing to accept these conditions, we would propose that the land go to the adjoining property owner, if they were agreeable to the conditions. You, as an adjoining property owner, will be informed of the proposed division and deeding of the land before it takes place. We will proceed with the division of the land and meeting with the property owners in order that this process can be completed by the end of this summer. The seeding of the berm will be taking place within the next week in order that this matter can be resolved in the very near future. If you have any additional concerns or wish to discuss this matter in more detail, please do not hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, Fred G. Moore, P.E. Director of Public Works FGM:kh cc: James G.
