PLYMOUTH METROLINK - MARCH REPORT -- Shown below is a table displaying our average daily ridership for the commuter/reverse commuter, internal circulator and total system for each week of March. The second table displays the year to date averages in each service area compared with the target which we must achieve in order to have a successful project.

Internal circulator ridership in March averaged 50 passengers per day, a slight increase from last month's average of 49. A comparison with the March 1986 average is difficult since the Spring break vacation for students this year will occur in April, rather than March. 2. Ridership for the commuter/ reverse commuter portion of the service also experienced an increase in March with an average of 397 persons per day. This is above the 338 posted in March, 1986. 3. The total system target of 432 passengers per day was exceeded by 14 at 456 passengers per day. Compared with March 1986 figures, total system ridership on average has increased by 48 Passengers per day.

ON -STREET PARKING ADJACENT TO DAYBRIDGE LEARNING CENTER, 3050 FERNBROOK LANE -- Councilmember Vasiliou recently brought to my attention a potential parking problem at the Daybridge Learning Center. It appears that there are occasions, primarily in the morn- ing and afternoon hours, when persons are parking on the adjacent streets in lieu of using the parking lot facilities of the center when picking up or dropping off children. Given the traffic on both Harbor and Fernbrook Lanes, this could pose a distinct safety hazard for children. The Center is expected to have sufficient on-site parking to meet their needs and Blair has accordingly communicated with them in regards to this matter. I am also asking Fred Moore to look into the advisability of posting both Empire and Harbor Lanes in this areas for "no parking". Fernbrook Lane is currently posted. A copy of Blair's memorandum concerning the Daybridge Learning Center is attached. (I-2) 3. RUSTY WATER COMPLAINTS -- We have received several calls regarding rusty water. The early spring weather has generated a demand for watering. On Wednesday our consumption was just over 7 million gallons, more than 2 million gallons more than normal. This, coupled by the fact that we are just beginning our flushing cycle, contributes to the problem. Normally our sprinkling demand does not occur until May, after the flushing program has been completed. Our flushing program began this past week, and will not be completed until the end of the first week of May. Attached is the Spring flushing schedule. (I-3) 4. APPLICATION TO VACATE OR MODIFY ARBITRATION AWARD -- Law Enforcement Labor Services, Inc., on behalf of Plymouthpolice officers, has submitted the attached application to vacate or modify the arbitration award to the District Court. The union is seeking vacation of the portion of the arbitrator's award which establishes a 90 day lifetime employee disability cap. The City Attorney's office is preparing a response to this request. The Council will recall that the union had earlier appealed this portion of the arbitrator's award, and the arbitrator found for the City. (I-4) 5. 1987 CABLE CONSTRUCTION AREAS -- Attached are two lists supplied by Suburban Cablevision Company. The first list reflects projects in Plymouth which exceed the 35 unit per cable mile threshold for construction. These projects will be constructed this year beginning April 20, 1987. The vast majority of the construction in Plymouth will be underground, rather than aerial, as reflected in the U.G.F.T. and aerial F.T. columns. The second list reflects those projects which have not yet met the 35 unit per cable mile threshold, and therefore, are not scheduled for construction in 1987. (I-5) CITY COUNCIL INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM April 10, 1987 Page five 6. COUNCIL FOLLOW UPS: a.

Willis FROM: Community Development Director Blair Tremere SUBJECT ON -STREET PARKING AT DAYBRIDGE LEARNING CENTER, 3050 FERNBROOK LANE (85036) I investigated this situation per your memo of March 24, 1987. I did not observe on -street parking in the morning or in the afternoon during those three days that I watched the site. I found however that the loading time at the end of the day was spread over several hours during the afternoon and I may not have witnessed the "rush" of traffic. I did send a letter to the Daybridge Daycare Center, bringing this and another matter to their attention. During the course of review I found the file still did not contain the required copy of their State operating license and we thus had not formally issued the required Conditional Use Permit which was authorized by the City Council. I believe that these streets will need to be posted sooner or later and I would recommend that it be considered since, as you know, further commercial development is anticipated both to the south and to the north of this site. BT/gw April 7, 1987 Manager Daybridge Learning Center 3050 Fernbrook Lane Plymouth, MN To Whom it May Concern: CITY OF PLYMOUTH+ The City Council approved the Conditional Use Permit for your facility on dune 3, 1985, under Resolution No. 85-406. I have enclosed a copy of that Resolution for your information and I draw your attention to Item No. 13. Despite two letters to your representative at the time, Mr. hack Vosler of the firm, Schoell & Madson, we have not received a copy of your current State license. Please see that we get a copy of your current State license so you can be issued your Conditional Use Permit which is still pending. Also, please verify the name of the contact person who will be in charge of the Conditional Use Permit renewal and reviews. Also, I wish to bring to your attention that we have received reports that parents are apparently picking up children from the daycare center while parked on the street on both Fernbrook and Harbor Lanes. You are advised that it is your responsibility to provide sufficient off-street parking and loading and unloading space on your site so that the public streets are not used. We are concerned, as I am sure you are, that the safety of the children may be compro- mised when they go to waiting cars on busy streets such as Fernbrook Lane and Harbor Lane. If this problem continues, the City may have to post the street "No Parking", and vio- lators would then be tagged. We would appreciate it if you would bring this to the attention of your customers. Thank you for your cooperation. Please direct any questions you may have to me or, in the case, of the copy of State License and issuance of the Conditional Use Permit, to Planning Secretary Grace Wineman.

E4 City of Plymouth vf�, 3400 Plymouth Boulevard ~/ Plymouth, Minnesota 55447 Dear Mr. Boyles: As you know Spring is here and so is the construction season. Attached are two lists of projects. They include the pro- jects by name, the total amount of construction needed and units possible as per the plot maps. The units built were counted by our Field Survey Coordinator in March with any on site construction (footings, frame, etc.) considered as a unit built. The calculation of the amount of construction needed with the homes built gives us the units per mile. One of the lists would include 35 homes or more per mile, which will be built this year. The other list are the projects that did not qualify for the 35 homes per mile, which will not be built this season. We intend to start underground construction on April 20, 1987. ._ _Please initial one set of the lists and return to me. If there are any questions please feel free to contact me.

Accordinq to Ms. Lester, as part of the DeFreeze development next to her home, an access was to be provided to her parcel from 49th Avenue as a private drive. She had her attorney, Mr. Peter Ruffenach, III, (559-5113) research the matter. He finds that the property has chanqed hand through quit claim deed at least three times, and most important, that the easement has not been filed in accordance with the requirements of the developer's agreement. The first question, then, is to verify: 1) the terms of the development agreement; and 2) whether the terms of the agreement have been executed throuqh the filinq of an easement. Ms. Lester's second concern is that the City has historically maintained the access to her property. She indicates that Tom Vetsch has advised her that the access to her property will no lonqer be maintained by the City as it is essentially a driveway and not a public road. She argues that the City has historically maintained the roadway both for snow and ice control, as well as for shaping and grading in the summer. Would you please respond to me by memorandum on this issue as well as the two outlined above. I will share your findings with Councilmember Crain and Ms. Lester. FB:jm CITY OF PLYMOUTH 3400 PLYMOUTH BLVD., PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447 TELEPHONE (612) 559-2800 MEMO DATE: April 3, 1987 TO: James G. Willis, City Manager FROM: Fred G. Moore, Director of Public Works SUBJECT: Sandy Lester Property 10805 49th Avenue Concern Related by Councilmember Crain I have also talked with Sandy Lester and her Attorney_, Peter Ruffenach. Our discussions were about the private driveway which serves the existing Lester Home. Councilmember Crain requested answers to two questions: 1. The first question was with regard to the private driveway easement which was to be granted to the Lester property from the Wild Wings Addition. This was a condition of approval of the Final Plat by the City Council. This easement has been granted and attached herewith is a copy of that document. This easement was recorded on October 2, 1986. It is recorded as Document No. 1760565 in the Hennepin County Department of Property Records, and also recorded in Volume 2304, Page 686711 in the Office of Registrar of Titles. 2. The second question deals with the maintenance of this private driveway. There has never been an improved public street immediately adjacent to the Lester property. A half right—of—way for 49th Avenue exists adjacent to this property, but it has never been improved. Because of the existing topography of the land, 49th Avenue, as platted, could never be improved because of the very steep hill. Although there was no public street serving this property, at some point in time a private driveway was constructed from the end of 48th Avenue Easterly, Northerlv and Westerlv to the Lester property. We have no records and cannot determine why the City was plowing snow on this private driveway and doing very minimal maintenance during the summer. Attached is a drawing showing the private driveway as it existed before the Wild Wings Addition was developed. The City of Plymouth had no public easements over this private driveway. Memo: James G. Willis April 3, 1987 Page Two .1..�+ Lo With the development of the Wild Wings Addition, Vallev Forge Lane was extended Northerly. The new street replaced all but approximately 120 feet of the old private driveway. As part of the development, the Developer was required to construct a new private driveway along the Northerly side of Lot 1 within the Addition. Attached is a drawing showing the location of the new private driveway after the development of Wild Wings This private driveway has been constructed by the Developer. Both Tom Vetsch and I have talked with Sandv Lester concerning the maintenance of this private driveway. I have also spoken with her Attorney. We informed them that although the City did maintenance in the past, this was by error for which we could not determine why it originally started. With the redevelopment of the Area and the changing of the private driveway, we informed them that the City would no longer continue this error, and the maintenance of the private driveway was their responsibility. The Lester home was allowed to be constructed over 20 years ago based upon the fact that it is adjacent to a dedicated public street right-of-way. Although this is a dedicated right-of-way, it has never been constructed as a street, and as I previously mentioned because of existing conditions of the very steep hill, it can never be constructed as a public street. With the development of the Wild Wings Addition, the City made provisions for a private access to this property. At the present time the property North of the Lester home is currently undeveloped. At the time this property develops, it would be possible for the City to require a street be constructed which would provide direct public access immediately to the Lester property. If this were the case, their property would receive direct benefit from the public street construction and be required to share in the cost of the street. The Lester property has never been assessed benefit for a public street. At the time the property to the North develops the Lesters, or the current property owner at that time, will receive a notice of the proposed Preliminary Plat. Thev can then address their concerns to the City at the public hearing whether they want to keep their private driveway or have a public street constructed for which thev would share in the cost.

OLD BUSINESS A. APPROVAL OF MARCH MEETING MINUTES The March 11 meeting minutes were approved as submitted. B. REPORT ON SAFETY ACTIVITIES 1. Traffic Warning Device Policy status -- Frank Boyles advised that Fred Moore had contacted Hennepin County to determine what MnDOT traffic warning regulations the County had incorporated In their policy for high speed and high volume roadways. The County advised they follow the Appendix B procedures for high traffic/speed roadways. Frank stated that the City's policy will be revised similarly to reflect the Appendix B procedures and will include diagrams of the most typical traffic warning procedures illustrated in the MnDOT manual. The policy will be finalized before the May meeting. Frank also advised that training sessions for full time and temporary maintenance employees on the policy will be conducted by Scott Sayer of Warning Light, Inc. in April or early May. 2. Respirator Program status -- Frank advised that Dennis Lominek of Mine Safety Appliances had met with dim Kolstad and Bob Fasching to evaluate the condition of the City's current respirators. .Mr. Lominek had recommended replacement/ refurbishing of several units. The next step for program imple- mentation will be to: 1) re-examine the job responsibilities that require respirators and identify employees required to use the respirators; and 2) conduct face -seal testing of employees who will be using the respirators to determine if beards/facial features pose problems. The respirator program is an OSHA requirement. 3. Loss Control Recognition Program -- Ron Garritt reviewed with the Committee the Loss Control Recognition Program guidelines used by insurance companies and the National Safety Council in determining preventability/non-preventability of accidents. Frank indicated that a copy of the program will be included in the Safety notebooks for future reference by Committee members. PLYMOUTH SAFETY COMMITTEE April 1, 1987 Page two II. 4. Personnel Protective Equipment Checklist -- Committee members reviewed the checklist for additions deletions. A revised checklist will be distributed for employee use and for the temporary employee training program. v 5. Follow-up On Uniforms -- Frank stated he has asked Dave Volker to review the study on "Burn Injury Potential of Conventional Wearing Apparel" for comment on whether the uniforms being worn by public works personnel should be replaced. The report has been requested from Unitog. Dave will advise the Committee at of his findings at the May meeting. 6. Safety Recognition - Frank reported he had received favorable responses from employees on the Safety recognition lunches recently held. A safety recognition dinner is also planned for Plymouth firefighters on April 8. 7. Vehicle Service Report -- A memorandum from Jim Kolstad to all City departments on the procedure for using the vehicle service report form was reviewed and acknowledged. NEW BUSINESS A. Review of Personal Injury/ Vehicular Accidents -- The committee reviewed one vehicular and one personal injury accident. Both accidents were determined to be non -preventable. Vehicular accidents involving John Ward and Scott Elliot were deferred to the May meeting. B. Status Report on Training Program for temporary summer employees. Mark Peterson reported that the training materials beinq prepared for temporary employees will include general information on the City, employee work hours, clothing required, personnel protection checklist, vehicle service report form usage, and accident report- ing. Equipment operation training will be provided by each division based upon the equipment the temporary employee uses. The meeting adjourned at 8:55 a.m. MINUTES PLYMOUTH DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL April 8, 1987 PRESENT: Bob Burger, Burger Development Group Inc.; Marlin Grant, Mary Anderson Homes; Greg Frank, McCombs/Knutson; Mr. Anderson, Laukka Associates; Peter Pflaum, Lundgren Bros. Construction Company; John Griffith, Trammel Crow Company. Also present from City Staff: Joe Ryan, Blair Tremere, Fred Moore, Sherm Goldberg, Jim Willis, Frank Boyles I. REPORT FROM SUBCOMMITTEE ON OFFICE/INDUSTRIAL USES Bob Burger reported that the Subcomittee on office/industrial uses met to discuss their concerns in the matter. They will put their concerns together in a more formal basis and submit a letter for Planning Commission and City Council consideration. John Griffith stated that the problem of a building changing from industrial to office, is an end-user problem and not one which should trouble the builder/developer. Blair Tremere stated that offices and office -showrooms are being constructed in :industrial zones which normally require less parking. This can lead to both a parking problem and to a zoning regulation problem where ultimate land use is not consistent with the guide plan or zoning. The city protects against future day-to-day parking problems by requiring a proof of parking. II. REPORT ON RESIDENTIAL BUILDING INSPECTION CONCERNS Bob Burger stated that there are many new buj:lders active in Plymouth at the current time. This has caused an extra burden for the City inspection department in that more time than usual has been spent in a consulting rather than an inspection role with some of the builders who are unfamiliar with the code. He explained that he and two home builders had meet with Joe Ryan and Blair Tremere to review ways to improve the delivery of inspection services. Blair Tremere stated that a nominal part of the building Inspector's job is to provide consulting services, especially for the homeowner. The best way to improve inspection time is to minimize the time necessary for inspectors to provide consulting services to professional builders and to concentrate on inspection of the work. This will free up time for additional inspections. Joe Ryan reviewed checklists which the committee assembled. The first is intended to provide builders with a list of what is required and assure the work is ready to receive an inspection. The second checklist acts as a "punch -list" for the contractor and represents common and repeated deficiencies. Bob Burger stated that while these methods will certainly help on the contractor's side, if volume continues the only answer he could see is greater inspection manpower. III. EROSION CONTROL, SEDIMENTATION AND STREET CLEANING Fred Moore stated that the City Council has authorized the hiring of a part-time person to conduct inspection of erosion control efforts and to PLYMOUTH DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL April 8, 1987 Page two monitor street sweeping. He indicated that the Building Inspection Depart- ment will not conduct inspections if dirt is found in the street adjacent to the building site. Jim Willis stated that individual council members have told him that the staff could enhance erosion control efforts and accordingly, builders and developers can expect this to occur this year. Sherm Goldberg added that the part-time erosion control inspector will also spot check residential grading plans to assure that they comply with the original grading plan for storm water drainage purposes. IV. CITY OF PLYMOUTH VS. MENDOTA, INC. Jim Willis reviewed the case involving the City of Plymouth and Mendota, Inc. The judge concluded that the City was within its authority to require dedication of road rights-of-way (County Road 10 and 61) as a condition of development. Similar cases, including Middlemist and Laukka, are pending. V. DEVELOPMENT TRENDS IN PLYMOUTH Blair Tremere stated that the LA -1 land inventory in Plymouth is adequate for the immediate future, but if the current single family push continues, there will be greater pressure to rezone higher density residential land. He stated that the City Council has considered this issue and directed that the staff assemble a list of questions for Council consideration when a reguiding request is received. Jim Willis encouraged developers to share their perspective with the City Council and Planning Commission. Sherm Goldberg reminded developers that a down -zoning of property normally would affect the amount of area charges collected. It is likely that there would be no reduction in those charges since total system costs are based upon the land use guide plan as it currently stands. Total system costs will have to be collected even if "down -zoning" occurs. VI. OTHER BUSINESS Sherm Goldberg stated that County Road 9 is ahead of schedule and likely to be done before September. County Road 10 is scheduled for improvement anywhere from 1990 to the year 2000. Marlin Grant asked about the increase in building permit fees. He also questioned whether the City had made any progress in its requirement for subdivision guarantees. He asked whether developers who pay their taxes and special assessments could be given some form of break in terms of subdivision guarantees, while others who allow the land to go delinquent would pay a higher guarantee. Jim Willis stated that he has discussed this with the City Attorney and will review it with the staff shortly. He will have a report prior to the next meeting. He indicated that he would be preparing correspondence with Marlin Grant on this subject. The meeting adjourned at 8:42 a.m. 10 THE CITY OF PLYMOUTH BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENTS AND APPEALS February 10, 1987 The Regular Meeting of the Board of Zoning Adjustments and Appeals was called to order at 7:30 P.M.

The request submitted by Gerald Davis was introduced for a variance from the minimum building front and side yard setbacks for property located at 12400 26th Avenue North, ..per the January 30, 1987 staff report. Mr. Davis reviewed his request noting that he received approval of a variance in 1973 to construct an attached garage. The Board discussed with staff why this proposal was before them since he was expanding the dwelling vertically and would not further encroach into the setbacks. Associate Planner Cottingham informed the Board that since Mr. Davis had received a previous variance, this became an expansion to that variance and would need Board approval. Chairman Marofsky noted that allowing a second story to be built, due to the proximity to Magnolia Lane and the other homes on Magnolia Lane being located approximately 50 feet back from their property lines. Chairman Marofsky inquired of Mr. Davis regarding the possibility of expanding the living area to the west. Mr. Davis noted the west end of the home contains the bedrooms and would be difficult to remodel the interior of the home for the type of addition they are planning. =—I NOTION TO APPROVE MINUTES OF SAN. 13, 1987 Page two Board of Zoning Minutes February 10, 1987 MOTION was made by Commissioner Anderson, seconded by Commissioner Mellen to approve the request for a variance from the minimum building front and side yard setbacks for property located at 12400 26th Avenue North for the reasons stated in the draft resolution. The Board discussed the size of this lot and the topography involved regarding this request. Chairman Marofsky voiced his concern with the location of the proposal and the possibility of the addition being placed elsewhere on the home. He was concerned with the precedent this might set for the area. Commissioner Mellen noted he did not believe this would a precedent in that this is a 50 foot wide lot, abutting two streets and the required setbacks would make it difficult to put an addition onto this home without seeking a variance. VOTE 6 Ayes. MOTION carried. OLD BUSINESS The request submitted by William Williams, Jr. was introduced for a variance from the minimum building side yard setback for property located at 1325 Peony Lane North, per the January 2, 1987 staff report. Mr. Williams reviewed his request noting the property to the south was owned by his brother and the fact the topography was such that it would not allow a detached structure be placed on the lot. Mr. Williams pointed out the plans to have a room underneath the proposed garage expansion. The Board discussed the possibility of adding on a six foot addition thus having a 32 foot wide garage and then extending the addition to the west following the 15 foot setback. Commissioner Quass believed the petitioner, not the Ordinance, was creating his own hardship, since he believes there is a need for the third car garage on this home, and the fact he has reasonable use of this land. Chairman Marofsky noted that although the petitioner does have the land to place a detached structure, the topography would make an addition difficult due to the slope towards the lake. The Board discussed the possibility of shifting the addition to the north approximately three feet to create a 12.5 foot setback from the south property line. Mr. Williams questioned the relocation affecting the access to the proposed addition. =--Ic�' - MOTION TO APPROVE VOTE - MOTION CARRIED WILLIAM WILLIAMS, UR. VARIANCE FROM MINIMUM BUILDING SIDE YARD SETBACK Page three Board of Zoning Minutes February 10, 1987 Commissioner Quass stated this item could be deferred so that the petitioner could re -draw the plans to see if setting the addition to the north of the proposed location, would create a difficulty in accessing the garage. Commissioner Naftgzer inquired if Mr. Williams had any hobbies that he would to be keeping equipment in the garage. Mr. Willims responded that he does woodworking as a hobby; but, the expansion would be used for his third car. Chairman Marofsky inquired of Mr. Williams if he would like to amend his request for a three foot encroachment rather than a six foot encroachment into the side yard. Mr. Williams responded that he would like to leave the request as is. The Board discussed the situation and what was creating the hardship along with the fact that Mr. Williams does have reasonable use of his land. =—'l C...'-� NOTION TO APPROVE MOTION was made by Commissioner Anderson, seconded by NOTION TO DENY Commissioner Quass to deny the request for a variance from the minimum building side yard setback for property located at 1325 Peony Lane North for the reasons stated in the draft resolution.

Volstad Suite 100 13895 Industrial Park Blvd. Plymouth, MN 55441 Dear Mr. Volstad: Jim Willis provided a copy of your letter to me and the other Councilmembers. I provided a copy of your letter and the Berean League article to Mike Moylan, husband of Linda Moylan, the Mr. Movies franchisee at 6 and 101. Both are personal friends. In fact, I know from conversations with Mike that they have serious concerns about the type of movies discussed and have rejected many that are available. They believe the 3 -ring binder method of handling x -rated movies is the best way to keep them away from minors and yet have them available for their customers who request them. Personally, I believe their method is superior to the separate rooms or top rack methods used by other stores. The presence of these movies is a significant issue independent of how they are marketed within a store. I suggest you speak to the owners or managers of Mr. Movies or any other video store and express your concerns. I can't guarantee the result but if you and enough others do the same it may have an effect. I've talked with the owner of another video store in Plymouth to complain about how they display x -rated movies - but nothing has changed. Thank you for your expression of concern. 4 /,,ssr�z— H.
