COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COORDINATOR SELECTED -- After extensive interviews and testing of six finalists, Ray Anderson has been selected as Plymouth's new Community Development Coordinator, replacing Sara McConn, effective Tuesday, May 26, 1987. Since 1980, Ray has served as City Planner for Webster City, Iowa. His responsibilities include economic development, zoning administra- tion, urban renewal, and subdivision regulation. In this capacity, he was responsible for administration and coordination of all planning activities including land use planning, zoning subdivision control, urban renewal and annexation. He acted as staff liaison with the City's Planning and Zoning Board. Ray has a Bachelor of Science degree in landscape architecture from Iowa State Univer- sity. Ray is married. He and his wife will be moving to the Twin Cities area in the near future. We are confident that Ray will be a positive addition to our staff. 2. NEW LIEUTENANT -- Effective May 16, 1987, Dennis Paulson will be promoted to the position of Police Lieutenant in charge of the City's Police Patrol Division. This position was created in recognition of the substantial responsibility entailed in the supervision of the police patrol section consisting of police officers and four field sergeants. I advised the Council of this organizational change together with my report requesting authorization of the Police Sergeant contract for 1987-1989. The promotional selection procedure was exhaustive, involving extensive skill and ability tests supervised through MDA Consulting Group. Sergeants Saba and Rogers were also candidates for this promotional position. The ultimate decision was difficult, given the excellent credentials of each of these candidates. The MDA Consulting Group test results coupled with Dennis Paulson's extensive experience in supervising the patrol division over the last eight years, qualify him to assume the newly created Lieutenant position. The results of this testing reconfirm my belief of the high quality of our police sergeants. 3. COUNCIL INQUIRY REGARDING SIGNAGE -- The attached report from Blair Tremere together with a memorandum from Joe Ryan, Building Official, responds to the Council's request for staff review of the awning sign at Holiday Service Station, and how the City Code addresses awning -type signage.

Y un ra ' ca O - N LA -10 C: O N O o N > LMC Annual Conference June 9-12, 1987 Rochester, Minnesota "Visions for Tomorrow" Those who care about shaping the "Visions for Tomorrow" for their city should plan on attending the LMC Annual Conference in Rochester, June 9-12, 1987. Appropriately, the confer- ence will be one of the first in Roches- ter's new dream building, the Mayor Civic Center. See for yourself why many have commented that this new civic center is more than they imagined. Noted faculty The League has invited a roster of distinguished speakers. Among them is Layne Longfellow who will speak on Friday after widely acclaimed presen- tations at the National League of Cities conference and the Minnesota Spring Institute for City and County Managers. Program format The Conference Planning Committee has taken great pains in identifying concerns that are of interest to cities of every size. There is something for everyone. The program includes "skill sessions" and "issue institutes" throughout the three -and -a -half days of the conference. "Skill sessions" are participatory workshops which enable city officials to enhance specific leadership abilities and learn techniques which they can apply back home in their community. Exam- ples include: • Listening for effective leadership • Fostering innovation • Future setting • Teambuilding • Marketing your city (three sessions) • Serving your constituents (two sessions) • Streamlining council meetings "Issue institutes" provide up-to- date information on issues of impor- tance to cities. On the agenda are many topics related to economic development. • Impact of federal tax reform and the new EDA law • What makes sense for your city • Developing fledgling potential enterprises • Cooperative ventures • Consolidated approaches • Legislative update City officials wanting to focus on personnel concerns can attend sessions such as: • Recruiting/retaining volunteers • Early warning signs of employee dissatisfaction • Improving staff morale • Getting employees back to work Smaller city topics include: • How cities have solved practical problems (two sessions) • Improving the rural economy Those interested in professionalizing city government can pick from three sessions: • Elected clerk, appointed clerk, administrator, strong mayor? • Council-manager • Evaluating your city manager or clerk And finally, timely topics such as: • Reducing your city's liability exposure • Asset retention Short shots New this year will be "short shots." As the name implies, these will be short sessions of an hour each. Short shots are structured discussions on topics of special interest which stress practical experience. Topics include finding new revenue sources, working with unions, wastewater treatment, coping with mandates, preventing sex- ual harassment, planning for and using cable TV, and an introduction to LMC. This last one should be of special interest to newly elected officials. Special Friday program A delicious finale breakfast will begin at 8:30 a.m. Following it will be what many consider the highlight of the conference. Layne Longfellow will offer a presentation that is both personally stimulating and professionally enrich- ing. Longfellow is a riveting speaker you can't afford to miss. We saved the best for last. Host city spectaculars Be sure to arrive early on Tuesday, June 9, to hear some tales of Lake Wobegon in one of Garrison Keillor's last performances. Then enjoy an unparalled taste treat as the "Choco- late Fantasy" is recreated under the stars in the breath -taking, glass - enclosed lobby of the new Mayo Civic Center. Don't plan on going to bed early on Wednesday. There will be over 30 entertainment events occurring inside the civic center to keep you up.

JGW:jm cc: S/F 5/13 -3 CITY OF PLYMOUTH 3400 PLYMOUTH BLVD., PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447 TELEPHONE (612) 559-2800 MEMO DATE: May 14, 1987 TO: City Manager James G. Willis FROM: Community Development Director Blair Tremere SUBJECT CITY COUNCIL INQUIRIES ABOUT SIGNS SUMMARY: This is a response to your memorandum of May 5, 1987 regarding the City Council direction to review the status of signage at the Holiday Ser- vice Station on Highway 55 and to indicate how the City Ordinances treat awnings on buildings especially when the awnings have messages printed on them. I requested Building Official Joe Ryan to investigate this matter and his report is attached. Joe raises a question about whether a permit was originally issued for the free stand- ing pylon sign; I recall earlier research provided me with confirmation that the free standing pylon sign was permitted a number of years ago when the station was first built. I concur with Joe's finding that the signage at the Holiday Station/Store does conform with City Council approved plans and with the Zoning Ordinance. The matter of awnings raises an interesting point: The Plymouth Ordinance does not define the term and neither does the Uniform Sign Code which is adopted by our Ordinance. The specific inquiry, however, was based on the proposition that there would be signage on the awning and, in that case, the total assembly would be viewed as a sign, i.e., the awning itself becomes a message -bearing device. Awnings are not marquees, although an awning could be construed to be a canopy. CONCLUSION I agree with Joe Ryan's recommendation that we prepare and submit to the Planning Com- mission for review and public hearing, definitions of these terms. The Uniform Build- ing Code, the dictionary, and Brooklyn Center Zoning Ordinance, provide adequate des- criptions of these devices and structures. Also, we have observed at least one situation in the City involving an awning which has a message printed on it and which was erected without a permit. Joe Ryan is pursuing that through the enforcement provisions of the Ordinance. This matter will come before the City Council eventually, after the Planning Commission has the Public Hearing. �-3 CITY OF PLYMOUTH 3400 PLYMOUTH BLVD., PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447 TELEPHONE (612) 559-2800 MEMO DATE: May 13, 1987 TO: Blair Tremere, Director of Community Development FROM: Joe Ryan, Building Official SUBJECT CITY COUNCIL SIGN INQUIRIES In response to your Memo dated May 6, 1987, I have inspected the premises and have researched the following. A sign permit was issued on November 17, 1986 for the 3' x 25' wall sign on the building which indicates "Holiday Express Foods Snacks Beverages and Supplies". This permit also included a 3' x 12' business wall sign on the canopy which states, "Holiday", and two 3' x 3' wall signs also located on the canopy which represent the Holiday logo. I have not picked up the remainder of permit records at Micro Graphics, and therefore am not certain if a sign permit was issued for the freestanding pylon sign having price signs attached to it. In my opinion the signs are consistent with the sign regulations of the Zoning Ordinance. Initially Holiday Station Stores was granted approval by the City Council for an amended site plan which also included variances to install a canopy over the gasoline pumps at their facility. Item #2 of Resolution 80-535 indicated that signage shall be as proposed on the canopy. (See attached copy and graphic). On January 6, 1986, the City Council approved a Conditional Use Permit and site plan for Holiday Station Stores to extend the existing canopy and to add two (2) fuel pumps. Item #4 of Resolution 86-09 indicated that signage shall conform with the City Ordinance standards, and that no variances were to be granted or implies. (See attached copy). One of the provisions in the Sign Regulations for business signage in the B-3 (Service Business) District states the following: "Allowable uses in business establishments other than those in multi -tenant commercial may have wall signage limited to flat wall sign, not extending more than 18 inches from the face of the building, except that such signage may extend from the base of the roof over a covered walk, or from a marquee, provided the signage does not extend above the roof or parapet line of said building. Such wall business signage shall not exceed 20 percent of the area of the wall to which the signage is attached". The Uniform Building Code and Uniform Sign Code defines "marquee" as, "A permanent roof structure attached to and supported by the building and projecting over public property." Webster's Dictionary defines "canopy" as, "A cloth covering suspended over a bed; a cover (as of cloth) fixed or carried above a person of high rank or a sacred object; the uppermost spreading branchy layer of a forest; awning, marquee; and ornamental roof -like structure." Page two Memo to Blair Tremere May 13, 1987 Taking into account that the original approving resolution did allow for signage on the canopy, together with the fact that the canopy can be considered as a roof -like structure which extends over a covered walk, it is my opinion that the signage installed complies with the intent of the Ordinance. I have also reviewed the provisions of the Ordinance with respect to signage on awnings. Referenced below are my findings. Our present Ordinance does not provide for the definition of awning. The Uniform Building Code defines "awning" as, "A temporary shelter supported entirely from the exterior wall of a building." Webster's Dictionary defines "awning" as, "A roof -like cover extending over or before a place (as over the deck of a ship, or before a window) as a shelter." Our present Zoning Ordinance defines "sign" as, "Any billboard, notice, poster, display or other device visible to and primarily intended to advertise and inform or to attract attention, and shall include any structures erected primarily for use in connection with the display of any such device and all lighting or other attachments used in connection therewith." It is my opinion that the definition of an awning differs from that of a marquee, and that an awning which contains and conveys a message would be considered a sign as defined by Ordinance. I am currently in the process of notifying a business establishment in our City who has erected such a device without the issuance of the required sign permit. Since there appears to be some confusion as to the proper definition of these terms, I would recommend the Ordinance be clarified and amended to include these definitions. Please contact me if you have further questions.

Z� CITY OF PLYMOUTH 3400 PLYMOUTH BLVD., PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447 TELEPHONE (612) 559-2800 MEMO DATE: May 15, 1987 TO: James G. Willis, City Manager F - FROM: Fred G. Moore, Director of Public Works SUBJECT: Request for Berm Along New County Road 9 Last Lake Area City Project No, 642 The City received a petition from residents living within the Lost Lake area requesting an earthen berm with plantings between New and Old County Road 9 from Revere Lane to Zachary Lane. I referred this petition to the Hennepin County Department of Transportation for their consideration and review. Attached is a reply from the County concerning the request for the berm. After analyzing the situation, it is not feasible to construct a berm. Over most of the area there is not enough space between New Countv Road 9 and Old Countv Road 9 in which to construct a berm. On other portions of the project it would require constructing the berm on private property since there is not room within the right—of—way. There is an area where an existing natural berm will be left in place. This area is at the location where County Road 9 is immediately adjacent to Lost Lake. Although it would be feasible to do plantings within this area, in accordance with County policy, they are doing no plantings along the new roadway. As has been stated, planting can be done by the City in the future. Please let me know if you would want any further action taken on the request for the berm and plantings.

Director of Public Works City of Plymouth 3400 Plymouth Boulevard Plymouth, MN 55447 RE: CSAH 9, County Project 6901 Grading and Surfacing from I-494 to Lancaster Lane As you requested in your letter of April 23, petition to construct an earthern berm with CR 9 from Revere Lane to Zachary Lane. G y 2 1987 we have reviewed the plantings between the new and old From Revere Lane west approximately 1100 feet the distance between the two roads will be only 32 feet. A ditch section along the north side of old CR 9 of 18 feet and a berm section on CSAH 9 of 10 feet virtually eliminates any area in which to build a berm. We further looked into the possibility of eliminating the ditch section and through bituminous overlay on the west bound lane require the drainage to run across the road to the ditch on the south side. With this proposal we would only be able to build a berm 4 feet high with 2:1 slopes on either side. A further problem with this proposal is that Northern States Power poles would be located in the center of this berm section and would therefore be required to move to the opposite side of the old CR 9 which I understand is not the preference by City of Plymouth. There is a section from approximately 1100 feet west of Revere Lane to 1500 feet west of Revere Lane in which there is a natural berm which will be left in place in accordance with the plans. From a point 1500 feet east of Revere Lane to Zachary Lane any berm section placed in this area would have to be placed at least partly on the property owners land. From the petitions it 's indicated that not all the property owners want this berm, and therefore, might prohibit such construction. HENNEPIN COUNT an equal opportunity employer 1687 Q 1 Ln Mum 0► e! t>> l ,aL Mr. Fred Moore May 11, 1987 Page 2 At the time the petition was presented all the unsuitable material that was hauled from the muck excavation was either hauled off the job or to its final placement on the project. If berms were constructed the majority of the material would have to be borrow at a contract price of $2.50 a yard. Even with an unsatisfactory height of 4 feet this would generate an additional cost of $15,000 to $20,000. It is noted that the berm sections that have been provided for on the plans were constructed with excess material at no additional cost to the contract. Concerning the question of plantings, there is no landscaping provided for on the project so it would not be practical to place plantings in this area at the exclusion of other sensitive areas. In view of the foregoing it is recommended that the request of the petitioners be denied.

The agency is entering its 35th year of service to people in suburban and rural communities of the greater Minneapolis area. Senior Community Services' Strategic Plan calls for a continued focus on the fast growing elderly population. This focusing on the elderly has allowed the agency to broaden the kinds of services offered while concentrating on achieving highest quality. Senior volunteers providing services to other older people and the community remain the agency's prefered method of delivering services. Senior Community Services in partnership with United Way, corporations, foundations, local municipalities and school districts serve older adults through the Delano Area Senior Center; the Westonka Senior Center; the Southshore Senior Center; the Minnetonka Senior Center; the Counseling Case Management and Outreach (Senior Outreach) program; Commun i ty Sen i or Groups and Hi ghr ise Resident Councils program; and the Seniors Serving Business program. I would like to take this opportunity to thank our Board of Directors, staff, 650 volunteers and local municipal and school district leaders for their support during this past year. Senior Community Services wants to continue working with all of you in facing the future challenges created by a growing suburban senior population. Sincerely,_ Jamin F. Withhart Executive Director A United Way AKcncy SENIOR COMMUNITY SERVICES "Fosters Independence, Personal Growth, and Community Involvement of Seniors" 1986 ANNUAL REPORT Celebrating Our 35th Anniversary in 1987 Letter From the 1988 President The year 1986 was one of accomplishment for Senior Community Services (S.C.S.). We capitalized on efforts started in 1985 to successfully return the agency to a sound financial basis. The Board of Directors, staff and volunteers deserve recognition and thanks for this successful effort. The agency continued to enjoy a steady growth in the numbers of elderly needing and utilizing services. This expanding demand is the result of the increasing population of elders in our suburban communities. Several steps were taken during the year to allow us to more effectively manage our expanding programs. A new strategic plan was developed to determine our agency's direction and the resources required to support the plan. This plan represents the combined input of our staff, the Strategic Planning Committee of the Board and outside expertise. Recognizing that the continued high level of performance by our staff people would be paramount to the success of S.C.S., the Board has updated our personnel policies and created a special Task Force to study and recommend improvements in our compensation package. The participation of volunteers is vital for our continued success. In 1986 over 600 volunteers were honored and recognized for their outstanding service. Our Strategic Plan calls for increased training of volunteers, allowing us to provide additional high quality services. Cooperative agreements with local communities are a key strategy in our planning. These agreements have allowed S.C.S. to offer more programs to the communities served at reduced costs. Four new municipalities joined in the support of our Senior Outreach Program, improving the availability of services to the home -bound elderly in Golden Valley, Richfield, Edina and Plymouth. The agency was also successful in obtaining a matching expansion grant from the United Way for the Senior Outreach Program. Grants were received to add new vans to the Southshore and Delano Area Senior Centers. The additional vans have greatly improved transportation services for the elderly in these communities. We must feel positive as we enter 1987. Our Friendship (fund-raising) drive exceeded goal. The United Way evidenced support for the quality of our programs by a 12% increase in funding. United Way funding now represents approximately 30% of our total budget. Senior Community Services will begin its 35th year of service to our suburban communities in 1987. The agency will continue its efforts to be a valuable asset to these communities by delivering needed quality services. Earle T.

Some of the volunteer positions filled through the senior volunteers are: Peer Counselors, Friendly Visitors, Van Drivers, Receptionists, Program Leaders, Adaptive Physical Education Leaders and Dining Volunteers. 1986 Highlights • 653 volunteers contributed 42,459 volunteer hours. • 42,459 hrs. x $3.35 = $144,360.60 Counseling, Case Management and Outreach Program ("Senior Outreach") Works with older adults and their families throughout suburban and rural Hennepin County to help seniors remain independent. 1986 Highlights 403 frail elders received long-term intensive case management services. 1,165 referrals were made for needed health and social services. 93% of Counseling, Case Management and Outreach's clients remained in the community, 10% higher than the state average. Senior Centers Program Four multi-purpose senior centers serving the City of Minnetonka, and the Westonka, Delano and Southshore areas are the focal points of programs and services for seniors. 1986 Highlights • Total attendance 59,073 • Meals served 44,980 • One-way trips provided 25,108 • Blood pressure screening 2,593 Community Senior Groups and Highrise Programs Located in 11 suburban and rural communities, these programs provide seniors with many of the same services available in communities that have senior centers. For many seniors, particularly those in rural areas, these programs serve as the principal point of access to needed services and information. 1986 Highlights • Total attendance 32,228 • Nutrition programs 220 • Health screening programs 105 • Adaptive physical education programs 285 • Social and recreational programs 792 Seniors Serving Business Seniors Serving Business provides jobs for older adults who want to remain active in their retirement years. The earnings are used to supplement the benefits of Social Security. 1986 Highlights 42 seniors worked over 17,000 hours, earning more than $65,000.00 • 18 businesses were contracted for services Letter from the Executive Director Celebrating 35 years of service. Senior Community Services is one of the older non-profit organizations in the state of Minnesota. Those 35 years have been full of change for our suburban communities and the agency. The years following WWII saw the growth of the baby boomers. The agency first served a growing youth population; later the agency focused on serving special populations that were too sparsely distributed for any single community to effectively serve. Elderly persons, people who are mentally retarded, stroke victims, persons with physical disabilities and single adults made up these special populations of the 1960's and early 1970's. The agency over the past 15 years has narrowed the focus on the fast growing elderly population and at the same time expanded the breadth of services being offered. The future. The elderly population is now the fastest growing segment of our population, with that growth just beginning. The next twenty years should see a continued steady rate of growth; with any medical breakthrough in either cancer or cardiovascular disease treatment, the rate of growth could more than double. In twenty years (2007) the elder population will dramatically explode as the baby boomers start to retire. Serious policy discussion about the ramifications, both positive and negative, of this population age shift are just now beginning at the national, state and local levels. The communities served by S.C.S. benefit from the broad funding base of the agency. Local funds are matched/leveraged with other funds such as United Way, Hennepin County, Metro Council, foundations, corporations and gifts from individuals. This matching/leveraging of funds keeps the cost of delivering quality senior services low for any of the funders. S.C.S. utilizes elderly volunteers to deliver many services, thus keeping costs down even farther while also providing a meaningful role for those elderly volunteers. We have made great progress over the past 15 years toward improving the quality of life and the standard of living for our elderly people. However, many older people are still suffering from poverty. The elderly poor tend to be widowed women over the age of 75. Most find themselves poor for the first time in their lives. Lifetime savings and estates have been depleted to pay for nursing home care for their husband before his death. It is important to realize that poverty is not the only issue faced by people as they age and retire. Many retirees are not touched by poverty; however, for them retirement means the loss of social contacts at work, the loss of self esteem, and the loss of a meaningful purpose in life. Advancing age knows no monetary guidelines and is highly correlated with multiple chronic physical conditions that negatively impact a person's mobility, sight, hearing and emotional condition. The services offered by S.C.S. and its volunteers have proven that older persons can contribute in a meaningful way to the quality of life in our communities. Older volunteers are helping themselves by helping others. That's the success story of S.C.S. Sincerely, %Benjamin F. Withhart Executive Director Executive. Director Benjamin F.

We have submitted this petition to the Hennepin County Department of Transportation and requested their response to the proposed construction of the berm. It is my understanding that there is excess dirt available along County Road 9 which could be used to construct the berm. There are some problems with regard to construction of a berm because of the necessity to maintain drainage between New County Road 9 and existing County Road 9. I am sure if a berm can feasibly be constructed, that we will receive a favorable response from the Countv. Sincerely, Fred G. Moore, P.E.

The purpose of Zachary Lane is to serve the residents and businesses within the immediate area. Because of the development within the area and the deteriorating condition of the present road, it will require upgrading in the future. As you are aware, this is presently projected for 1990. The City will continue to evaluate the traffic and road conditions on Zachary Lane to determine when the improvement is needed. You and other citizens will be kept informed of the time schedule through the City's newsletter and also through future town meetings. Sincerely, ��✓'V Fred G. Moore, P.E.

At the present time this work is projected for 1990. As the project becomes more definite, abutting property owners will be kept informed by direct mailings and other property owners will be kept informed through newspaper articles and the City's newsletter, "Plymouth on Parade". Our latest traffic counts on this portion of Zachary Lane were made in 1985. The volumes at the Southerly end adjacent to 36th Avenue were 3,175 vehicles per day. At the Northern end, by County Road 9, they were 2,550. The volume of traffic North of County Road 9 is approximately 4,000 vehicles per day. Because of the existing deteriorating condition of the roadway and additional traffic, due to the development in the area, Zachary Lane will need to be upgraded. Presently this is projected for 1990, but an evaluation will be made each year and this is subject to change. It is the policy of the City of Plymouth that property owners directly along a roadway, which benefit from its improvement, share in the cost of the construction. These benefits cannot be determined by the City until a detailed project is proposed. Based upon our anticipated schedule for upgrading Zachary Lane, there should be another town meeting before the detailed plans are prepared. By attending the next town meeting, plus keeping informed through the City publications, you can keep current on the status of,Zachary Lane. Sincerely, Fred G. Moore, P.E.

As he stated, they would be doing selective radar enforcement within the area in order to achieve compliance with the posted speed limit. In your request you also made a suggestion that speed bumps or stop signs be installed to slow down the excessive speeds within the area. Because of the liability of installing a hazard within a roadway, such as a speed bump, this type of facility is not installed by the City. You do see speed bumps in private parking lots, but in general the public does not have a right within a private parking lot as exists on public streets. Also, the purpose of stop signs is to direct traffic at an intersection where traffic volumes warrant stop signs and then are installed to indicate which street has the right—of—way. If there is excessive speeding within the area on 40th Avenue, it should be controlled through radar enforcement. Since 40th Avenue is completely within a residential area, the majority of the traffic is from the residents within the area. They are fully aware of the existing conditions and the speed limit, but some drivers are unreasonable and choose to ignore the regulations. These are the type of drivers that require radar enforcement to remind them of their responsibility. Sincerely, � y Fred G. Moore, P.E.

However, I will pledge to you some selective radar enforcement on 40th Avenue North west of Zachary Lane.

TELEPHONE (612) 5592800 May 14, 1987 Ms. Lettie Zimmerman 2570 East Medicine Lake Boulevard Plymouth, Minnesota 55441 Dear Ms. Zimmerman: I believe some confusion exists on the City's projected program to upgrade and reconstruct East Medicine Lake Boulevard in 1991. Only that portion of East Medicine Lake Boulevard North of its intersection with Medicine Ridge Road would be improved. The improvement is required because of the deteriorating condition of the existing street. Presently there are no improvements projected on East Medicine Lake Boulevard South of 36th Avenue where you live. Considerations have been given by the City in the past of closing a part of East Medicine Lake Boulevard, or making portions a one-way street. Before any action of this type would be under- taken all residents who live along East Medicine Lake Boulevard would be informed and a Public Informational meeting held by the City Council. If there are any additional questions with regard construction on East Medicine Lake Boulevard, please contact the City Engineering Department. Sincerely, Fred G. Moore, P.E.

You were requesting that street lights be installed in the Pheasant Hills Development. Within the City of Plymouth street lights along residential streets in this area are paid for by the property owners along the street. The street lights are installed for the City by Northern States Power Company and we pay a monthly fee to cover the energy and operating cost for these lights. Property owners in the area which receive the benefit from street lights are then billed by the City on a monthly basis. Each street light costs approximately $150 per year for operation and maintenance. If you or other property owners in your area are requesting street lights, a petition should be submitted to the City requesting these lights. For your use I am attaching a standard petition form. If the petition is not signed by 100% of the property owners, it would then require a public hearing before a decision could be made by the City Council to install the street lights. It is the normal City Council policy that if 80% of the property owners are not in favor of street lights, they will not be installed. Until a determination is made of the number of street lights that would be installed, I cannot give you a definite cost per property at this time. In reviewing the area, I would estimate that the cost per household would be between $2 and $3 per month. If there are any questions with regard to the installation of street lights, or the petition process for these_ lights, please contact Sherman Goldberg, City Engineer. Sincerely, Fred G. Moore, P.E.

APPROVAL OF MARCH 18, 1987 MINUTES The Committee approved the March 18, 1987 minutes as submitted. II. REVIEW OF MARCH RIDERSHIP STATISTICS The March 1987 ridership statistics shows that the system continues strong in the area of commuter/reverse commuter ridership. The internal circulator continues to operate at approximately 50 passengers per day average. Commuter daily averages for the month of March were 397, which compares with 338 one year ago. The total system average is 456 passen- gers per day, or 5.5% above the total system target of 432 passengers per day. Willis Johnson stated that the internal circulator seems to be for work trips primarily and only for recreational purposes for students. III. FOLLOW UP ITEMS FROM PREVIOUS MEETINGS A. Fare Cards at Erickson's New Market, Transit Store & Dayton's Willis Johnson reported that a contract is in process with the MTC Transit Store with respect to fare cards. A delay has been exper- ienced because of Medicine Lake Lines concerns about the security of the fare cards at the transit store. Once this problem is resolved, these cards will be used both at the transit store as well as Erickson's New Market. They differ from current cards in that they are universal cards which contain a serial number for accountability purposes. Once problems with the MTC transit store have been resolved, the cards will be supplied to Erickson's New Market as well. The transit store currently has the route schedules avail- able. Preliminarily, we will not go forward with the sale of the cards through Dayton's, since their commission is higher than desirable. B. Progress Report on Park and Ride.Lot Expansion Frank Boyles reported that this evening the Planning Commission will receive and act upon the request to expand the Plymouth Metrolink park and ride lot by twenty-two stalls. This contract is to be bid in late -dune and completed this year. The internal format of the lot is to be revised once construction takes place to make internal circulation more efficient and safe. NLYMUUIN AUVI5URY COMMITTEE ON TRANSIT --T-�� May 13, 1987 Page two C. Results of PACT Member Recruitment Frank Boyles stated that he had received the names of three poten- tially new PACT members through the recent recruitment efforts. All were sent letters, however, none of them have responded by attendinq this meeting. Dennis Jacobson stated that he knew of one person who may be interested and would check. C. Promotion Frank Boyles stated that he had been contemplating the use of a promotion which would distribute junior desk folders to riders usinq the theme that, " Plymouth Metrolink provides more productive time to its ridert'. PACT members believe that this was an appropriate promotion. Willis Johnson suggested that the imprint in addition to being the logo, promote the theme of added productive time through the use Metrolink. IV. IDENTIFICATION OF NEW AREAS OF CONCERN; OR RECOMMENDATION Willis Johnson indicated that the bus company is at its limits in terms of being able to provide service both for increasing charter demands received during March and April, and consequently has had some diffi- culty in providing Plymouth Metrolink service during this period. He apologized and asked riders to be patience. He stated that the bus company is a for-profit operation and consequently tries to make money when the opportunity presents itself. Frank Boyles stated that, while he understands Medicine Lake Lines position, he is concerned that lona term riders not be sacrificed for the sake of short-term profit. He asked that this item be reviewed at the June meeting to assure that loss of ridership does not occur. He also asked PACT members to advise him before the next meeting if problems persist. V. PLANNING WORK PROGRAM Willis Johnson presented papers which outline the operation of the Plymouth Metrolink system and his observations as to areas for improve- ment. The first area for improvement is the schedule. The current schedule is seen as complex in that it is not specifically targeted to specific routes. New riders particularly, have to wade through the schedule in order to find information about their route. He recommends that instead the schedules be broken out by route. The advantage will be that specific route data only together with the " how-to'S' of riding Plymouth Metrolink can be provided to new riders. This will tend to minimize people being scared away from the system by an overly complex schedule. He stated that with the new schedules, a multi -schedule holder will have to be developed so that all schedules can be available for distribution at Plymouth City Center and other outlets as they are now. He also indicated that feedback will be solicited from existing — 11"V 1 -U V 1JUn i I.UMMi I ILL UN I KANJd I May 13, 1987 Page three riders through a survey instrument. The survey will be the next week. Frank Boyles asked Willis, in the future, items with the committee or with him before finalization changes could be made prior to final implementation. The meeting adjourned at 8:30 p.m. administered in to share draft in order that May 19, 1987 Dear Plymouth Resident: SUBJECT: TOWN MEETING, JUNE 8 Because Plymouth is a developing community, there are many actions underway or .in the planning stage which could impact upon you.

The Appellant alleges that the valuation should be $40"000. resulting in a permit fee of $439.15. the difference being an excessive charge of $241.54. The Appellant alleges that oroceedural matters in the Respondent's office were not clearly defined relative to the requirements for the issuance of a building permit. Confusion and needless delay on the mart of employees of the City of Plymouth caused the Appellant loss of subsequent rental income to the extent of 5 months at $600.00 per month for a total of $3,000.00.

The present assessment constitutes a taking of Aopellants' property without due process and a denial of eoual protection of the law. contrary to the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution and Article 1. Sections 7 and 13, of the Constitution of the State of Minnesota. The Apoellants made a formal objection to the assessments at a meeting of the Council of the City of Plymouth on March ZZ, 1987, at which time the Council voted not to alter the assessments in an--..,- manner. nymanner. WHEREFORE, Appellants request that 1: The assessments cancelled. annulled and set aside. and that they be refunded the amount of $2,920.00. 2: The valustion of tne building permit be reduced to $40.000.00 therefore resulting in a refund of $241.54. 3: That the Aopeppants be awarded $3,000.00 as a result of unnecessary delay in the processing of the building permit application.

It appears as though the pet walking area is directly adjacent to our property line. We have on numerous occasions had to ask pet owners to please refrain from having their animals on our property for various reasons: 1) their droppings are not welcome; 2) we also have a dog kenneled in the back yard that barks when other animals come on our property. This has caused us a great deal of concern as our dog has been reported to the Plymouth Police for barking at these unleased animals. This I feel is unfair criticism of our controlling our pet. On several occasions, residents of Parkside Apartments have walked across our lawn to get to the property directly west of us. We have told those people in a polite manner that this is not public property. It seems to make little or no difference. We feel very strongly that a much better separation of the properties is needed and we would propose that a fence be erected this spring, separating the two properties. I feel that this is probably the only way we can make the distinction between what is Parkside property and what is not. 14 February 5, 1987 Page 2 Our master bedroom and family room, located on the east side of our house, face high powered flood lights that are on the west side of the apartment buildings. We would appreciate very much if something could be done to eliminate this nuisance. I look forward to hearing from you so that these issues can be resolved. Thank you. Sincerely, James W.

Weldon 15008 Gleason Lake Road Plymouth, MN 55441 March 9, 1987 City of Plymouth 3400 Plymouth Blvd. Plymouth, Md 55447 To the City Council, I just have a few comments about Gleason Labe Road. I attended a City Council meeting prior to purchasing my home on Gleasaon Lake Road. I putted my home on J1.me 1, 1986. There were a number of topics of discussion. one that I know will now be completed is the bicycle path. I think that'll be very nice. Another topic was the traffic level on Gleason Labe Goad. I believe It was Fred Moore who commented that, with the ccmpletion of Carlson Parkway, the traffic level on Gleason Lake Road will decrease - not true. In the time that I've been there, it has increased. There has been a real variety of vehicles on the road now. Also, I have not seen any patrol cars and there are people speeding on that road regularly. My suggestions would be some sort of regular patrol as well as at least two stop signs. With Carlson Parkway completed, it seems that Gleason Lake iboad would no longer be needed as a throughmay. The stop signs would definitely slow traffic down to the speed level, the type it should be for a residential area. Sincerely, Scott A. A. Weldon SAW:ls 1� c May 13, 1987 Mr, Scott A. Weldon 15008 Gleason Lake Drive Plymouth, Minnesota 55441 Dear Mr. Weldon: 1- 17 I(L I have reviewed your letters concerning safety along Gleason Lake Drive within the City of Plymouth. I cannot agree with your statement that by adding turn lanes at Niagara Lane we have made the road "less safe". The purpose of the turning lanes is to increase the safety both at Niagara Lane and Vicksburg Lane. Because of the large number of turning vehicles the additional lane is required for safety purposes. As I believe you are aware, Gleason Lake Drive, Niagara Lane and Vicksburg Lane are all streets designated within the "Thoroughfare Guide Plan" of the City. The purpose of these streets is to collect the traffic from the adjacent areas and to distribute it to the more major roadways such as I-494, Highway 12 and County Road 6. It is for this reason that these roadways are expected to carry more traffic than a local residential street. Traffic volumes are counted on our City streets each two years. The last count on Gleason Lake Drive was in 1985 and was 4,500 vehicles per day. Traffic counts will again be made during the late summer or early fall of this year. After we receive these new counts we can make a comparison to 1985 to determine if traffic volumes have increase substantially. Because of normal development within the area traffic volumes are expected to increase approximately 3% per year on streets such as Gleason Lake Drive. Because of the construction on Highway 12, and the partial closures of the interchange at I-494 and Highway .12,, I believe traffic is probably using Gleason Lake Drive as an alternate route. This may be the reason that there could be increased traffic over when you purchased your home in 1986. The construction of the interchange will be completed later this year, and therefore, the traffic should be able to return to its normal routes. After the traffic counting data is received we will analyze it to determine if unexpected conditions have developed on Gleason Lake Road. Depending upon what is determined, we will take the necessary action. In your letter you requested additional stop signs on Gleason Lake Road "to slow down traffic". 3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD, PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447, TELEPHONE (612) 559-2800 Mr. Scott A. Weldon May 13, 1987 Page Two The purpose of the stop sign is not for this reason, but to delineate which vehicle has the right-of-way at intersections. If you feel there is a speeding problem on the roadway, I would suggest that you contact the Police Department by calling 911 and expressing your concern. The Police Department can take the necessary action through radar enforcement along the roadway. Sincerely, Fred G. Moore, P.E. Director of Public Works FGM:kh cc: Frank Boyles May 15, 1987 Dennis G. and Jean S. Peterson 15120 Gleason Lake Drive Plymouth, Minnesota 55447 CITY OF PLYMOUTI+ Subject: Organized Garbage Collection Dear Mr. and Mrs. Peterson: Thank you for your letter of May 8, 1987, containing the article by Mr. Don Larson and stating that the garbage collection in the City of Plymouth is a bargain and asking the question "how our office can make it better". I am sure you are aware of the position taken by the State Legislature in 1980 when the Waste Management Act was passed. It recognized the hidden and delayed costs resulting from ground water contamination, removal of productive land for new land fills, and other undesirable environmental effects, the Legislature decided to reduce the complete dependence on landfills for the disposition of solid wastes in the Metropolitan area by the year 1990. This reduction was to be accomplished by the use of mass burn facilities, which convert waste to energy and through recycling usable items of solid waste back into the stream of raw material needed for production of new products. I agree that the price you and other Metropolitan area residents are paving for "Garbage Collection" is a bargain. That amount does not constitute the total cost of solid waste disposal. Attempts are being made to provide for payment of the "hidden costs" through tipping fees at the landfills. The current tipping fee at area landfills is approximately $16 per ton and that is artifically low also. East coast states are now paving tipping fees which approach $100 per ton and were probably responsible for the "barge incident" which you may have read about in the newspapers recently. It is estimated that by 1990 the tipping fee in the Metropolitan area will be in the neighborhood of $40 to $50 per ton and will only be held down if new and expensive landfills are not opened. Because of this projected increase in costs, it is necessary to look now for the most efficient system of waste disposal available. In the past year the Plymouth residents recycled 752 tons of solid waste, and hopefully, by changing buying habits and composting lawn clippings reduced the waste stream even more. This resulted in a savings to the garbage hauler of $12,000 or more for the year in reduced tipping fees alone. In addition, the City paid the recycling hauler to collect recyclable materials. This cost saving to the haulers was not passed back to the residents, and in fact, caused the resident to pay twice, in effect, and the garbage hauler is the only one benefiting. 3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD, PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447, TELEPHONE (612) 559-2800 Dennis G.and Jean S. Peterson May 15, 1987 Page Two Organized collection will attempt to pick up the garbage and recvclables for the same, or less, money than is now being paid for garbage only. Organized collection will also provide information on how much, what type of and where it is coming from, and is going; questions which State and County officials will be looking to the City for answers. Organized collection of solid waste can be implemented in various. ways, all of which would negate the need for several trucks criss-crossing the City daily in the process of serving individual customers. There are currently 17 licensed haulers operating in Plymouth which often results in two or more trucks on the same residential street, on the same day, and at least one truck on several days of each week. Some of the options are: 1. The City would buy the trucks and hire permanent personnel to do the actual pickup. This would require a large capital outlay and would put the small collectors out of business in the City. This option is not recommended. 2. The City would take over the billing of customers and would hire a single contractor to provide the service. The contract would be let by competitive bid. This would likely result in only the large contractors bidding the job, as smaller ones do not have the capability to handle the entire City. The smaller hauler would likely be forced out of business. This is not the City's desire, and therefore, this option is not recommended. 3. The City would take over the billing of customers and would hire a contractor to do the work, but instead of bidding the contract, would negotiate a contract with a co-op or corporation made up of the same haulers that are now doing the work. They would organize themselves and redistribute customers so that all customers for each hauler would be grouped together in the same area. This option maintains the same haulers in business to provide the same high level service that is now being provided. This option is now being pursued. The City hopes to "make it better" by helping to hold down future increases resulting from the following: 1. The hauler would serve the same number of customers in much less time. 2. The same number of customers could be served with much less fuel consumed. 3. Each hauler would have less wear and tear on the truck, which increases truck life and reduces tire and maintenance costs. Dennis G.and Jean S. Peterson May 15, 1987 Page Three 4. Each hauler would have reduced administrative costs due to the billing of each customer by the City. 5. Each hauler would no longer have to solicit new customers in the City as they would be assigned automatically. 6. There would be a reduction in air pollution and harmful emissions due to less miles travelled to collect the same number of customers. 7. There would be a reduction in safety hazards in the neighborhoods due to less heavy traffic in a residential area. 8. There would be a reduction in street maintenance costs and a longer useful street life before replacement due to less heavy truck traffic in the residential area. Thank you for your inquiry.

After reading the article on organized garbage collection in the May/June 1987 issue of Plymouth On Parade, I was reminded of two recent articles on the subject by Mr. Don Larson in his monthly newsletter. I have enclosed copies for your reading. I am in total agreement with Mr. Larson in,that garbage collection, certainly here in Plymouth, is a bargain. It is an absolutely necessary service that *is reasonably priced by any measure. Competition keeps it that way. How is it your office can make it better? Time and time again, it has been proven free enterprise provides for the consumer -- not government control. In summary, government regulation of this service can only create an inefficient, expensive service out of what is a steal by any standard. Please, lets keep government from encroaching on yet another business which with free competition is working just fine. Sincerely, w Dennis G. e e n Jean S.
