QUALITY ISSUE ON RECYCLABLE PAPER -- A letter from Thomas Troskey, Waldorf Corporation, provides an explanation as to why certain "newspaper" products are excluded from the curbside recyclinq program. According to Mr. Troskey, because paper recyclers are required to produce materials that are equal to virgin materials, any chemically treated paper or contaminated product (i.e. paper containing non -soluble glues, foil, food residues, etc.) cannot be used in recycling.

APPROVAL OF JANUARY 18, 1989 MINUTES The Committee approved the January 18, 1989 minutes as submitted. II. REVIEW OF JANUARY/FEBRUARY RIDERSHIP STATISTICS Frank Boyles reviewed the ridership statistics for January and February. He indicated that the commuter/reverse commuter ridership target had been increased 5% in accordance with the management plan for 1989. He further indicated that the January and February statistics show Metrolink to be off to a good start, exceeding the commuter/reverse commuter target by 20% in January and 16% in February. Part of the Increase is due to substantial ridership growth this last winter and another part of it is due to better accounting of transfer passengers. The internal circulator continues at previous levels and is due for replacement on April 17. III. FOLLOW UP ITEMS FROM PREVIOUS MEETINGS A. Status of New Route North of County Road 9, South of 45th Between Fernbrook and Vicksburg. Paul Buharin distributed a memorandum summarizing the results of 37 questionnaires received from Kingswood Heights Homeowner Association members. Of the total, 27 indicated that they were not interested in transportation. The ten who did indicated that they would use the system, five indicated they would use the system two or fewer times each week, with the remaining five indicating between three or five days. Since the addition of service would cost $50,000 annually, this number of passengers does not, justify the addition. Frank Boyles will contact the Homeowners Association about this and suggest that the Dial -a -Ride system be used to shuttle passengers to the Park and Ride lot if they desire to use the commuter/reverse commuter service. B. Unit 698. Some question occurred with respect to the actual unit number on the vehicle. Paul Buharin will check whether the rear passenger exist door on 689 has been sealed to prevent drafts. He previously checked the emergency door. MINUTES - PLYMOUTH ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON TRANSIT MARCH 15, 1989 Page 2 C. Driver Safety - PACT members indicated that safety has not been a problem since the last meeting. Apparently the message has gotten across to the driver involved. D. Park and Ride Lot Centerline Markin - Drivers and passengers have not complained about this issue. Mike Syverson will ask drivers for feedback on whether parking intrudes into drive aisles during snowy days. E. Unit 41 - The carbon -monoxide problem has been fixed. F. Warmer Buses - Paul Buharin reported that most of the diesels do not warm up sufficiently unless moving. There is simply not enough distance between the Golden Valley garage and the Park and Ride lot to bring the vehicles up to full heat. Another option would be to high idle the disel engines but this would result in a diesel smell In the interior of the vehicle. G. Fare Card Availability - No complaints have been received about fare card availability since the last meeting. IV. IDENTIFICATION OF NEW AREA CONCERNS AND RECOMMENDATIONS. PACT members expressed concern that drivers should be reminded again to better coordinate their 8 a.m. pickup efforts at the Park and Ride lot. A request was also made that Unit 630 be checked as last time it was in service there was a back window that did not close. Dennis Jacobson will also investigate another vehicle unit number he noted a problem with and report it to Frank Boyles for follow up. V. DIAL -A -RIDE SERVICE IN 1989. Matt Peterson provided PACT members with a presentation on the qualifications of Morley Bus Company and the Dial -a -Ride service to be provided commecing April 17, 1989. He indicated that two new 13 -passenger Camion coaches will be used to provide the service. Service will be available from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Two vans will be in service on weekdays and one on weekends. Passengers may call in preferably 24 -hours in advance their need to make reservations. The cost for 24-hour advanced notice is $1 per trip and for less than 24-hour advanced notice, $1.50 per trip. He indicated that numerous policy questions will have to be answered over the next few months as the "kinks" are worked out of the system. MINUTES - PLYMOUTH ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON TRANSIT MARCH 15, 1989 Page 3 VI. OTHER BUSINESS. A. Volunteer Recognition Program - Frank Boyles thanked PACT members for being in attendance at the recent Council meeting to receive Certificates of Appreciation from the Mayor. B. Paul Buharin stated that on April 1 the revised fare of $1.25 will go into effect for all Plymouth Metrolink passengers. This includes commuters and reverse commuters as well. He stated that a notice will be given to all passengers during the week of March 27. Frank Boyles stated that a notice will be placed in the Plymouth on Parade newsletter which is scheduled for publication on April 4. C. PACT members expressed their gratitude to Paul Buharin and Mike Syverson for the high degree of dependability which Plymouth Metrolink has displayed during these winter months, especially during times of heavy snow. Mike Syverson conveyed his thanks on behalf of the drivers for the notebooks which were distributed as a means of thanking the drivers for their contribution to the system. He stated that this was an effective means to provide the drivers with much deserved recognition. The meeting adjourned at 8:25 p.m. FB:kec MINUTES PLYMOUTH DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL February 23, 1989 Present: Bob Burger, Bill Pritchard, Marlin Grant, Greg Frank, Craig Freeman, Fran Hagen, Sr., Mike Pflaum, Anthony Eiden, R.W. Anderson, Kyle Hunt, Randy Laurent, Paul Anderson, John Griffith, Bev Kodis, Sherm Goldberg City Personnel included: Mayor Virgil Schneider, Councilmember Bob Zitur, James G. Willis, Frank Boyles, Blair Tremere, Fred Moore, Chuck Dillerud, Joe Ryan, Michael Kulczyk. I. CITY POLICY ON SKETCH PLANS FOR DEVELOPMENT IN UNSERVICED AREAS. Blair Tremere summarized the Council's new policy on accepting sketch plans for development proposed in unserviced areas. There are numerous qualifying conditions for a parcel to be eligible for this policy including that they must be at least 20 acres in size and be in a location designated for municipal sewer service within the next three years of the current Capital Improvement Program. The fee for this review is $1,000. Copies of the policy are available through the Community Development Department. II. AUTOMATED BUILDING PERMIT SYSTEM AND OTHER INSPECTION DIVISION ITEMS. Joe Ryan stated that he and Blair have met twice with a Development Council subcommittee to discuss issues of concern regarding the permit issuance system. A third meeting is scheduled within the next two weeks. They have Identified areas where streamlining may be possible. A report will be supplied at the next Development Council meeting. John Griffith stated that there are a number of items which builders themselves can do to expedite the process. Bob Burger asked about the personnel in the Building Inspection Department. Joe Ryan stated that there is a new inspector position authorized. At present there are three residential building/mechanical inspectors, one plumbing and one non-residential building/mechanical inspector. Currently new single-family residential building permits are being processed within the departmental standard of within seven working days. Last year there were 450 new single-family permits. Blair Tremere stated that a five-year building permit history is being tabulated which will be shared with Development Council members once it is done. Joe Ryan stated that the design of automatic permit system conversion will result in a change of the permit application forms. If the system works appropriately, it should also allow for the issuance of residential plumbing, mechanical and sewer/water permits "on demand." PLYMOUTH DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL February 23, 1989 Page two Joe announced that a second annual builder's meeting will be held in March to discuss changes in the 1988 building code, changes in the policies and procedures regarding permit issuance and water meter issuance. Additional notification will be provided. III. REVISED PARK DEDICATION FEES IN LIEU OF DEDICATION. Blair Tremere stated that the City Council has revised the residential park dedication fees per dwelling unit from $600 to $825 and per acre fees from $2,800 to $3,300 for commercial/industrial. The basis for the revision is land values in the community as well as comparison with other communities. Marlin Grant asked about the basis for such changes. Jim Willis stated that there is a shortage of funds to provide for new parks in new subdivisions based upon City projections. The City's comprehensive plan determines where parks go throughout the community. Park dedication fees are used only for construction and not maintenance. Jim stated that the SAC charged by MWCC is $575. City sanitary sewer REC is $320 and the area charge is $380 per acre. City water REC fees are $550, and the area charge is $685 per acre. He stated that these figures would be reviewed by the City Council for potential revision this year as well. IV. DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL REVIEW OF PROPOSED ENFORCEMENT CHANGES TO EROSION CONTROL SEDIMENTATION POLICY. Fred Moore reviewed the proposed changes to the Erosion Control Policy in legislative format. He stated that the basis for the more aggressive revisions was failure on the part of a number of developers and contractors to appropriately control erosion in and adjacent to their developments. Marlin Grant stated that he hopes this is the last time a revision is needed as this is one of the most aggressive policies in the Twin City area. Mike Pflaum stated that a set of standards for sweeping is required so that only one person is determining whether appropriate erosion control is taking place rather than a number of people with different value systems. By focusing this responsibility on one person, accountability can also be enhanced. The changes will be presented to the City Council on March 20 for final adoption. Any comments should be given to Fred Moore a week before that meeting. V. UPDATE OF CITY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. Blair Tremere stated that the City's comprehensive plan will be updated in the near future. The Planning Commission will be conducting public hearings in March or April. Development Council members have received a written notification of this fact and are encouraged to attend and submit their recommendations. Blair stated that in the absence of other action, the current stage growth plan will sunset on January 1, 1990. PLYMOUTH DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL February 23, 1989 Page three Bob Burger appointed a committee consisting of Craig Freeman, representing commercial/industrial; Bill Pritchard, representing residential; and Bob Burger to meet with Blair Tremere to provide input about developer concerns relating to possible comprehensive plan revisions. VI. TREE PRESERVATION POLICY. Blair Tremere stated that the current policy is embodied in new development contracts but is soon to be codefied. The Planning staff is in the process of investigating the appropriate methods of implementing the policy. Bob Burger described how the policy worked. Fran Hagen expressed concern about the number of years which a developer can be held responsible if certain parcels fail to develop for some years. The required security could be a substantial cost. Chuck Dillerud explained that the forester conducts the initial inspection to determine the trees included under the policy and once again after development to determine what damages have taken place. There is a 16 -month period of time that developers are responsible and a fee of $200 per diameter inch is charged for each tree which is destroyed outside of the designated development area. A development area is determined at the time of survey once the house for the lot has been identified. Roughly an area of 20 feet outside the radius of the foundation is considered construction area. Mike Pflaum suggested that the policy may require the City to hire substantially more foresters to enforce it. Bob Burger stated that letters of credit are getting more difficult to secure. Banks are becoming concerned about the fact that letters are being called upon. This situation is likely to worsen. Marlin Grant asked how an adjustment for a larger building footprint would take place. Bob Burger asked Marlin Grant and Mike Pflaum to work with him as a committee to discuss the tree preservation policy in hopes of balancing the City's needs with developer concerns. Blair Tremere stated he would provide the subcommittee with the information available at this time. The meeting was adjourned at 9:05 a.m. FB:kec PLYMOUTH POLICE DEPARTMENT MONTHLY REPORT MONTH FEBRUARY 1989 CLASS I MURDER CSC ROBBERY ASSAULT BURGLARY THEFT AUTO THEFT ARSON 0 3 0 18 6 56 19 2 0 4 0 21 11 76 7 1 TOTALS 1988 104 1989 120 CLASS II +15% ■ FORGERY COUNTERFEIT; FRAUD HAR COMM STOLEN I PROPERTY VANDALISM, SEX OFF NARC OFFENSES FAM/CHILD DV%'I LIC LAW DISORDERLY CONDUCT OTHER 3 7 16 2 17 7 17 3 40 3 8 23 6 8 16 4 32 2 8 5 31 13 1 5 TOTALS 1988 146 1989 131 -10% CLASS III FATAL ACCIDENT PERSONAL INJURY PROPERTY DAMAGE SNOWMOBILE ACCIDENT DROWNING MEDICAL EMERGENCY SUICIDE SUICIDE ATTEMPTS NATURAL DEATH ANIMAL BITES FIRE 0 17 76 1 0 65 0 1 1 3 21 0 12 75 0 0 85 0 3 0 1 20 TOTALS 1988 185 1989 196 CLASS IV +6% E*OMESTIC AN!%'AL DE't!L FALSE ALARMS LOCK OUTS ASSIST OTHER AGENCY WARRANT SERVED TRAFFIC DETAIL SUSPICION INFORMATION MISSING PERSON LOST FOUND PUBLIC NUISANCE M'SC_ 20 82 73 106 I 26 33 152 90 2 15 53 54 25 i 78 122 140 33 31 137 114 6 10 38 172 TOTALS 1988 709 1989 906 +28% HAZARDOUS OOLATIONS 1988 307 1989 314 +2% NONHAZARDOUS MOLATIONS 1988 407 1989 359 -12% CRIMINAL OFFENSES CLEARED 1938 35% 1989 26°' TOTAL NUMBER OF INCIDENTS 1988 1144 1989 1353 +18` YEAR TO DATE: CLASS PLYMOUTH POLICE DEPARTMENT MONTHLY REPORT MONTH January through February 19f MURDER CSC ROBBERY ASSAULT BURGLARY THEFT AUTO THEFT ARSON 0 3 2 36 25 108 31 2 0 9 0 46 40 182 1 27 2 TOTALS 1988 207 1989 306 +48% CLASS it FORGERY COUNTERFEIT FRAUD HAR, COMM STOLEN PROPERTY VANDALISM SEX OFF.

Box 64260 2250 Wabash Avenue St. Paul, Minnesota 55164 612 641-4874 Last week you requested that I write you concerning the quality issue as it pertains to curbside collection of recyclable newspaper. Much has changed in the past two to three years regarding collection of recyclables. For decades volunteer groups such as scouts, churches, youth groups, etc., were the primary collectors of old newspaper for recycling. The quality collected by these groups both in the past and currently is good. Two to three years ago, curbside collection of recyclables became a reality. Some of the curbside collectors promoted their services based on quantity with little regard for quality. The quality problem became quite apparent early in the era of curbside collection. Waldorf addressed the quality issue with the curbside pro- viders and some responded quickly amd some did not. Specifically, the quality problem was a result of many household papers other than newspapers being included with the real newspapers in the collection program. Basically it went from curbside collection of old newspapers to curb- side collection of anything that resembled paper. Let me give you some examples of material routinely being collected in the curbside program. Laundry Detergent Boxes These boxes are made with a chemical barrier to resist moisture penetration of the product. Manufacturers of detergent want their powder to remain at the same consis- tency. Recyclers want paper that accepts moisture for the pulping process. �3 Pop & Beer Carrier These cartons are made with a wet strength chemical in order to resist moisture penetration. Again recyclers want paper that accepts moisture for the re -pulp operation. Frozen Food Packaging Most frozen food paper packages are coated with a thin layer of plastic in order to withstand the freeze and thaw process. Again, moisture resistance. Fast Food Pizza Boxes Most of these boxes are corrugated. When the person has finished the pizza there is usually food and grease residue left in the box. These residues are not recyclable and contaminate the recycling system and finished product. Household Mail This category of paper usually has contamination such as plastic window envelopes, non -soluble glues, glossy papers, and often times non -paper items such as foil and even product samples such as fabric swatches. Other problems showing up in the "newspapers" collection program were items with product residues left in such as dog food bags, fertilizer bags, concrete patch bags, etc. Also, items such as catalogs, phone books, magazines are not always recyclable due to the hot melt plastic glue used to hold these publications together. All of the above mentioned items are problems to the recycler. Paper recyclers are expected to make products that are suitable as food packaging, printing and writing papers, and sanitary tissue products. Recyclers are expected to produce quality equal to the virgin producer. In order to accomplish this task, recyclers must purchase good quality raw materials from collectors/ suppliers. Many of the curbside collectors are selling good quality papers to Waldorf. Unfortunately, some collectors who neglected quality early on are now attempting to rectify their quality problems, and indicating that markets have changed their specifications. Waldorf Corporation has not changed its specification on newspapers. What has changed recently is the methods, participants, and quality related to the collection of old newspapers. �3 Waldorf has been purchasing various grades of waste paper from thousands of suppliers for over 80 years at its St. Paul mill site. We purchase many grades of paper with some of the most common being: Old Newspapers Corrugated Boxes Office Ledgers Computer Paper Dick, if you have any further questions, please give me a call.

The result of this effort is a question and answer type article with graphs that the AMM is developing into a brochure to be sent to member cities. The Ad Hoc Committee is encouraging cities to reprint this article in local newsletters in hopes that homeowners will contact legislators. Therefore, along with the brochure we will provide a one page layout formated so that it may be directly copied for newsletters. This material will be sent to each city in the next 2 to 3 weeks.

As you are probably aware of at this time, we did have a fatality on this fire. The cause and origin was determined through the assistance of the State Fire Marshal's Office. A cigarette was found to be the cause and the origin was in the closet area. There was minor structural damage to the extent of $15,000 on this fire. We do appreciate your assistance and look forward to reciprocating at any time, should you need it.

Hayer Co. on March 13, 1989. Officecs Dave Thompson and J. Larson were made aware of the suspect's presence when he arrived to pick up two appliances which he had purchased with a stolen credit card at the Dayton's Home Store in Edina. As suspect SCOTT CLARK drove his truck out onto Berkshire Ln. with the merchandise, he was stopped and arrested. Thanks again for the help and cooperation. It's greatly appreciated. Respectfully, Sgt. Thomas C. Johnson Investigative Division Edina Police Department TCJ : nah March 21, 1989 Mr. Roy Frank Dohm 3825 Trenton Lane North Plymouth, MN 55441 CITY OF PLYMOUTI+ SUBJECT: YOUR MARCH 7, 1989 LETTER Dear Mr. Dohm: In your letter you asked that the City consider adding additional sidewalks to the community while using Permanent Improvement Revolving Fund monies to reduce your taxes rather than build the Community Center. As you may know, the City has undertaken the construction of some 38 miles of trails throughout the community. Our periodic residential surveys confirm that these trails are among the most popular of our recreation facilities. The location of trails is based our comprehensive trail plan which is based upon walking and driving neighborhoods. Accordingly, trails should be.available.in your -area. Because of the curvelinear nature of Plymouth streets, we are unable to install sidewalks such as you might find in more mature communities such as Minneapolis who have grid pattern streets. The trails serve the purpose of sidewalks by getting children to their schools and residents to and from recreational areas or other points of interest. In reviewing the trail plan I see that a trail is planned in your area along 39th Avenue to Union Terrace Lane. By copy of this letter I am asking Park and Recreation Director Blank to contact you about the specific construction schedule for this trail. On May 13 the City Council voted to utilize Permanent Improvement Revolving Fund monies to construct the Community Center, make improvements to Fire Station I and to construct a public safety building. From our perspective it is only appropriate that these funds be used to develop permanent facilities which you and your children may benefit from year after year. A tax reduction such as you suggest would benefit the community in a flash for one year without providing any permanent benefit to you, your children or the community. I would rather improve our community on a more permanent basis.

I am pleased to announce that on March 13 the City Council took action to approve the project. The building should be a reality within the next two years. I strongly support your suggestion that a period of prime time be available for open public skating on a weekly basis. We are planning the facility with this in mind. Unfortunately I am unable to provide you with any more specifics at this time.

Z 'Ad, March 15, 1989 f--- I CITY OF PLYMOUTFF Bob Ford, President Northwest Trails Snowmobile Club 15420 Gleason lake Drive Plymouth, MN 55447 SUBJECT: CERTIFICATE OF APPRECIATION Dear Mr. Ford: During the last year in particular, you and other members of the Northwest Trails Snowmobile Club have been instrumental in assisting our Public Safety Department in the enforcement of Public Safety Department snowmobile regulations. In the process, you folks have resolved many complaints and undoubtedly prevented a number of accidents. We sincerely appreciate your efforts. On one hand, Councilmembers desire to allow snowmobiling to take place in our community so long as it does not present an undue hazard to the snowmobiler, pedestrian or motorists. On the other hand, we are responsible for protecting the rights of homeowners against the minority of snowmobile owners who periodically exercise poor judgment in the operation of their equipment. Our Police Department has neither the personnel nor the equipment to engage in aggressive snowmobile enforcement activities. Consequently, our enforcement is normally complaint responsive. That's where you and your club comes in. You folks can and have provided the eyes and ears for our Public Safety Department during the snowmobile season. On behalf of the City Council, I am attaching a Certificate of Appreciation for the members of the Northwest Trails Snowmobile Club for your important contributions to our community. Please convey our thanks to your club members. Thanks again.

I know that your new facility in Englewood represents a major enhancement to the Englewood community. From our experience here at Plymouth, citizens and businesses in the community and in the region will benefit from your high caliber conference facilities and overnight accommodations, not to speak of the outstanding culinary expertise.

Carole Benz ick Reading Resource Teacher CITY OF March 21, 1989 PUMOUTR Larry and Pamela Anderson 14435 40th Avenue North Plymouth, MN 55446 SUBJECT: BASKETBALL STRUCTURES IN THE RIGHT-OF-WAY Dear Mr. and Mrs. Anderson: The City Council has discovered that nearly 40 basketball hoops exist within the street right-of-way throughout the community. One appears to be in front of your home. Because of the location of the hoops, adults and children alike are using the paved portion of the roadways as a basketball court. This practice causes, or may cause, a conflict between pedestrians and motor vehicles. Consequently there is potential liability both to the property owner and the City. If a person were injured while playing basketball in the street, his or her representative would argue that the owner of the hoop and the City are responsible for losses incurred. The Council has directed me to develop a policy which allows existing basketball structures to remain for current property owners, while addressing the issue of liability. A policy has been developed (attached) which requires that a permit be obtained from the City in order for existing basketball hoops to remain in the right-of-way. To obtain the permit, the homeowner would supply the City with a completed application form holding the City harmless from any damages caused as a result of the location of the basketball hoop. The permit would be accompanied by a $10 fee, and current certificate of insurance naming the City as additional insured for general liability coverage in the amount of $600,000. The amount of the insurance is based upon the statutory exposure to the City for claims of this nature. If all materials are in order, a permit will be issued including a sticker which the homeowner applies to the basketball hoop pole. As long as the home is not sold, and the insurance remains in force, the permit may be renewed 30 days following the next insurance policy expiration date. Once ownership of the property changes, or the permit lapses for any reason, the hoop must be removed within 14 calendar days. If the owner is unable to remove the hoop within that period of time, the City will accomplish the work. 3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD, PLYMOUTH. MINNESOTA 55447, TELEPHONE (612) 559-2800 BASKETBALL STRUCTURES IN THE RIGHT-OF-WAY March 21, 1989 Page 2 Since you have been identified as the owner of property with a basketball hoop within the street right-of-way, I am attaching a complete copy of the City Council's policy, together with an application form for you to secure a permit should you so desire. You should fill out the application form, attach a current certificate of insurance naming the City as additional insured, and a $10 permit fee and return all materials to the City Clerk by April 1, 1989. If you chose not to obtain a permit, the basketball hoop must be removed by you from the street right-of-way by June 1, 1989. If this has not been accomplished, it will be necessary for the City to remove the structure using city crews. If you have any questions about this policy or the permit application process, please feel free to contact Laurie Rauenhorst, City Clerk, at 559-2800, ext. 204. Sincerely, James G. Willis City Manager JW:kec cc: Community Service Officers Tom Vetsch, Street Supervisor Fred Moore, Public Works Director =.:_ C(.. . POLICY GOVERNING PLACEMENT OF BASKETBALL STRUCTURES IN STREET RIGHT-OF-WAY March 6, 1989 Resolution No. 89-155 Background The City Council has become aware that numerous residents have constructed basketball structures within public right-of-way, generally at the edge of street paving. The location and orientation of these basketball structures necessitates the use of the streets for playing basketball. This practice interferes or potentially interferes with the appropriate movement of traffic and place individuals using the street right-of-way or playing basketball at risk. Policy In order to reduce the potential risk to pedestrians and motorists and reduce the City's liability with respect to the use of such structures, the following procedures are hereby established: 1. Construction or placement of basketball structures within the public right-of-way shall not be permitted after March 6, 1989. 2. In those cases where basketball structures are known to exist in the public right-of-way on the date of this policy, based upon a survey conducted by the City in 1988/1989, the property owners shall either: a. Remove the basketball structure from the public right-of-way on or before June 1, 1989; or b. Apply for a one-year permit in order that such a structure may be maintained so long as the existing property owner owns the property. 3. If a homeowner with a basketball structure located within the right-of-way desires a permit for such a structure, the homeowner may make an application to the City Clerk on or before April 1 of each year. As part of the application process, the property owner shall agree in writing to defend, hold harmless and indemnify the City for any and all injuries arising out of the existence of the basketball structure. The fee for the annual permit shall be $10. The permit shall be accompanied with a copy of the homeowner's insurance policy in the amount of $600,000 naming the City as an additional insured with respect to the placement of a basketball structure in the right-of-way. Upon receipt of the application, the City Clerk shall de,termine whether or not it meets the intent of this policy and if so, Issue a permit for the year requested. A sticker shall be issued to the property owner to affix to the basketball hoop base signifying that it is currently permitted. -34- POLICY -GOVERNING PLACEMENT OF BASKETBALL STRUCTURES IN STREET RIGHT-OF-WAY Page 2 For each subsequent years' license, the City Clerk notify the property owner 30 days prior to the expiration date of the insurance policy. This date shall become the new anniversary date of the license. So long as the original homeowner renews the permit in accordance with this policy, the basketball structure shall be allowed to remain in the street right-of-way. 4. If a permit once issued expires for any reason, or if the ownership of the property changes, the City Clerk shall, upon notification, direct that the basketball structure be removed from the street right-of-way. 5. In those cases where a basketball structure is located in the right-of-way which is not in conformance with this policy, the City Clerk shall notify the property owner, in writing, to remove the basketball structure within 14 calendar days of said notice. If the structure is not removed within the 14 calendar day period, the City shall remove the structure at its expense. -34a- CITY OF PLYMOUTH PERMIT TO ALLOW BASKETBALL STRUCTURE IN THE PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY 1.
