western suburbs, including Plymouth, picked up $79.8 million of this
increase. Bob Renner's memo also goes on to project 1990 property
taxes, assuming the trend will last two years and continues without
additional legislative property tax relief. (I- 1)
2. BASKETBALL HOOPS -- On March 16 we sent letters to the 40 Plymouth
property owners who maintain a basketball structure within the
street right-of-way advising them of the City Council policy. We
have received a number of responses. Fourteen permit applications
have been submitted and two permits issued. The remaining twelve
applications are incomplete and the owners have been notified that
they must supply the information necessary to complete their permit
application (in most cases certificate of insurance) by April 24.
The Council policy governing placement of basketball structures in
street right-of-way states that if no permit is obtained, the
basketball structure must be removed before June 1, 1989. No
further structures may be erected.
Also attached is a letter from Randall Falk expressing his
displeasure with the policy and requesting that the Council
reconsider its action. (I-2)
3. DIAL -A -RIDE -- The new Plymouth Dial -a -Ride Service begins on
Monday, April 17. Since I expect Councilmembers will receive
questions about the service, I am attaching for information a
Dial -a -Ride question/answer book.
At the May 1 City Council meeting, a sampler of the service will be
provided for the City Council wherein arrangements will be made to
have a Dial -a -Ride vehicle pick up each Councilmember and bring them
to the City Council meeting. From this experience, the Council
will have firsthand knowledge of how the system operates. On the
May 1 agenda, a status report will be given on the Dial -a -Ride
system to keep the Council and public informed of what we are doing.
(I-3)
4. TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT DETAIL -- On March 20, the Council directed that

Dear She --rim:
Your hand delivered April 7, 1989, letter arrived after I sent you my April 7,
1989, letter regarding the request by your client for a permit to import dirt
into the City for property generally west of I-494 and north of the former
Aglite facility—
I have discussed your request that this be placed on the April 17, 1989, City
Council Meeting with the City Manager. This is to advise you that the City
Council has scheduled their monthly Open Forum at 7:00 p.m. that evening and
you may convey your client's concerns at that time. You are aware however
that the Forum is not intended to be used for business items which otherwise
would be on a formal agenda.
I identified in my April 7, 1989, letter to you how this could be processed.to
receive City Council disposition either as a Conditional Use Permit request
for land reclamation or as a request to find that your client's dirt spreading
should be considered something other than land reclamation by the ordih ance.
The City Council will not be in a position at the Open Forum to grant an,
exemption or a variance without the benefit of the complete application -and
due process which the ordinance directs.
The financial informationconveyedby Building Official Joe Ryan's letter of
March 28, 1989, is derived from the City Erosion Control Policy and is not a
direct function of the Conditional Use Permit.
As I indicated in my letter, the Erosion Control Policy would be applied to
any situation governed by that policy and this includes most if not all
situations involving grading, filling, and other activities involving earth
moving.
Chuck Dillerud and I were and are appreciative of the urgency felt by your
client because of the availability of the dirt. It was for that reason that
we recommended that you submit an application promptly so that we could begin
processing it before the Planning Commission and eventually before the City
Council for final resolution.

RE: Importing Topsoil
Dear Blair:
AW -
D�.Ltv�,r-:.
�A _1 - .
On April 6,1989, you, I and Chuck met to discuss Joe Ryan's letter of March 29,
1989. The focal point of the letter is whether the City should require a
Conditional Use Permit in order to allow the importing of topsoil to cover
agricultural land.
As can be seen from the letter, the costs associated with the C.U.P.
requirements are substancial as well as costly. You suggested that since
there is a question of interpretation of the Ordinance, you would bring it
before the City Council.
In light of the fact that the dirt is available know I'm requesting that this be
placed on the April 17,1989 council meeting, not withstanding that I have not
received your written response to our meeting.
If you ve any questions please contact me.

Suite 107
Minneapolis, MN 55426
Dear Sherm:
Chuck Dillerud and I appreciated the opportunity to meet with you regarding
the concerns expressed by your client, Greg Begin. We understand that:
1. Your client wishes to deposit more than 50 cubic yards of earth fill
on property west of I-494 on land generally north of the former Aglite
facility. The source of the material would be from the 1-394
construction project and perhaps other sources.
2. The purpose of the fill activity would be to reclaim the land so that
it could be used for agricultural/farming purposes. It is not your
client's intent to stockpile the material so that it can later be removed
from the site for sale.
3. Your client disagrees with the letter dated March 29 from Building
Official Joe Ryan as to the need for a Conditional Use Permit for land
reclamation and the need for a financial guaranty and cash deposit as
required by the City Erosion Control Policy.
You indicated that your client seeks approval to place material on this
property as a farmer would spread black dirt to enhance the agricultural
capability of the land.
I have reviewed the Zoning Ordinance requirement carefully in light of your
client's proposal, and I conclude that the requirement for a Conditional Use
Permit for land reclamation is valid. The ordinance defines "land
reclamation" as "depositing 50 cubic yards or more of material so as to
elevate the grade."
Land reclamation is a conditional use in the RFD zoning district which
includes the property where the material would be placed.
The application requirements are set forth in the Zoning Ordinance and are
generally outlined in Joe Ryan's letter. Chuck Dillerud can assist you or
your client in preparing and submitting a complete Application.

Mr. Sherman Goldberg, P.E.

You inquired as to the ordinance appeal procedure on the basis that your
client might wish to challenge this administrative determination. I find that
the appeal procedure set forth in the Zoning Ordinance regarding the Board of
Zoning Adjustments and Appeals would not cover this situation since there
seems to be a question of intent and definition.
The more appropriate section of the Ordinance is in Section 11, Subdivision A,
regarding the "determination of substantially similar use" whereby any land
owner may request a determination by the City Council that a use not included
in any district of the Ordinance is substantially similar to a use classified
as permitted, conditional, or accessory, to the district in which the property
is located.
You suggested to be adjusting that there is an activity involving agricultural
land and the deposit of fill on such land which is not the same as land
reclamation.
Therefore, your client may elect to submit an application for a determination
by the Council; the ordinance provides that this application is filed with the
Zoning Administrator who must submit it to the Planning Commission for
consideration and for the development of a recommendation to the City Council.
The application materials for such a request would include an accurate plan
showing the property involved and detailed information regarding the proposal.
Critical elements of that is a precise definition of the activity and an
explanation as to how that differs from the current ordinance requirements.
This is important because, if the City Council finds in your client's favor,
the "new" use becomes part of the ordinance as an allowable use (conditional
or permitted, as determined by the Council).
I recommend that your client carefully consider the conditional use permit
approach because the timing will not be that much different; also, it is our
view that the City Council would require compliance with the City's Erosion
Control Policy in any circumstance involving the transportation and deposit of
earth fill
Thank you for your inquiry. let Chuck Dillerud know if you have any questions
regarding the matter including the process for whatever application you decide
to pursue.

Dear Sherm,

This letter is in summary of our meeting which took place today concerning
your inquiry as to the requirements necessary to place approximately 3000
cubic yards of fill material on the property located at 5525 Xenium Lane
North, owned by Mr. Gregory Begin.
During our discussion, you were provided with copies of the Plymouth Zoning
Ordinance which require the need to obtain the issuance of a conditional use
permit to extract and or deposit (50) cubic yards or more of material on the
site.
In addition, I also -provide you with a copy of the grading requirements from
the State Building Code. Due to the nature and scope of the proposed work, a
grading permit would also need to be obtained. The application materials
required would include:
1. A signed and completed grading permit application form.
2. Two copies of a drawn to scale grading plan.
3. A street sweeping contract.
4. A financial guarantee in the amount of $2000.00 per acre of
affected area, $1000.00 of which must be in the form of a cash
deposit.
Please contact me at 559-2000, ext. 222, should you have any questions or if I
may be of any further assistance.
Sincerely,

A COMMITMENT OF QUALITY AND INNOVATION TO THE TILE INDUSTRY
April 10, 1989
Please mark your calendars and plan to attend a meeting
regarding the Plymouth Solid Waste Transfer Site. As you
are aware, the location of this facility is #494 and Cty.
Rd. #6 and will create many difficult problems to the
business and residential communities. This will impact all
of us. The Plymouth Business Action Association required
the Metropolitan Council to perform a Supplemental
Environmental Impact Study. This has now been completed
and approved. We feel it is still inadequate.
Please plan to attend to have your questions answered. The
meeting will be held at:
PLYMOUTH CITY HALL
3400 Plymouth Boulevard
May 1, 1989, at 4:30 p.m.
The speakers will be Mayor Schneider and Leslie Davis.
Virgil Schneider, Mayor of Plymouth, will discuss the
city's position on the transfer site and the guidelines the
transfer site will have to follow.
Leslie Davis, President of Earth Protectors, has been
following the process from the downtown incinerator to the
transfer site issue. He will give us an outline of the
process, the impact of these facilities in other cities
that have them now, and what is being done by this group.
Please R.S.V.P. to Ellen or myself at 559-5531 by 4/28.
We hope you and/or your representative can attend this very
important meeting. We hope you will encourage any other
interested parties to R.S.V.P. also.
Any questions, please contact me.
Sincerely,
Brian S. Mark

In the past two years, property taxes have risen by $486.8
million. This amounts to a 19% increase statewide. However,
$432.6 million of the increase, 88.9%, was absorbed by the Seven
County Metropolitan Area. Property taxes increased by 26.8% in
the metropolitan area during the past two years.
In 1988, the metropolitan area absorbed 88.3% of the
increase. In 1989, the percent increased to 89.4%. Using the
two year average of 88.9% and extending it to pay 1990, the
following picture emerges.
If the Legislature does nothing to abate pay 1990 property
taxes, it is estimated that there will be a $385 million (13%)
increase statewide.* This would equate to a $342 million
increase in the metropolitan area ($385 multiplied by 88.9%).
The percentage increase would be 16.8%.
Using pay 1989 numbers to estimate pay 1990 property tax
increases, the following will occur:
Metropolitan homestead taxes will increase by 17.7%.
- Metropolitan apartment taxes will increase by 12.8%.
Metropolitan commercial industrial taxes will increase
by 17.7%.
If these projected increases occur, metropolitan property
taxes will increase by 4.$I during the three-year period 1988-90.
Legislative action is necessary to stop this explosion.
* A more accurate estimate for pay 1990 property taxes will
become available within the next two weeks. The estimate
will project 1990 property taxes by geographical region.
These estimates will be used by the legislature to assist
them in setting the policy on property taxes.

RE: Basketball Structure
Dear Mr. Willis:
This letter is in response to the City Council's policy concerning
basketball structures.
First of all, I strongly oppose the implemented policy. The Council's
decision without homeowner input was unfair. I moved frau Maple Grove
to Plymouth to reside on a cul-de-sac to eliminate thru traffic. I
do not feel the location of my basketball hoop interferes with the
public right of way any more than children riding their bicycles.
Secondly, my homeowners insurance will not oblige with the Council's
request. I feel the Council should reconsider their action. I'll
be waiting for your response.
Sincerely,
Randall P. Falk

Commissioner Stulberg asked the Petitioner how many cars she
anticipated would be parking in her driveway at one time.
Sandra Bebault responded that she thought there would be a
maximum of two cars in the driveway at one time.
Commissioner Marofsky inquired as to hours of operation.
Sandra Bebault stated she would open at 9:00 a.m. but was
not sure of a closing time. However, she did not anticipate
being open past 10:00 p.m.
Commissioner Pierce asked if there was a turn around in
Petitioner's driveway, and whether it was double wide.
Ms. Bebault indicated the driveway was plenty wide and there
would not be a need to back out of it.
Coordinator Dillerud indicated that there was a single pass
to the street.
Chairman Plufka inquired if the driveway could be moved at
some point in the future so that access could be onto 35th
Place.
Coordinator Dillerud stated that the driveway could be moved
in the future.
Ms. Bebault stated that the driveway can be moved to that it
has access onto 35th Place, but that as long as they live
there, access will stay on 36th Avenue North.
Chairman Plufka opened the Public Hearing.
Shari French, 3600 Ximines Lane, Plymouth, Minnesota
indicated her concern as far as street access and parking.
Ms. French was also concerned about the hours of operation,
number of customers; number of employees, signage, and
whether the Conditional Use Permit would run with the
property or the Petitioner.
Chairman Plufka stated that the Conditional Use Permit is
issued to Petitioner, not the property.
Coordinator Dillerud stated that the Conditional Use Permit
would be renewed annually.
Chairman Plufka also indicated that there is no signage, no
parking problems, and there is no limit on the hours of
operation.

Chairman Plufka introduced discussion of the Comprehensive COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
Plan with respect to the corridor west of I-494 from Highway UPDATE
55 north to the City limits.
Associate Planner Cottingham provided an overview of the
corridor in question with respect to guiding and Physical
Constraints.
Chairman Plufka indicated the LA -2 guiding beyond the MUSA
line is appropriate but questioned the appropriateness of
LA -3 and IP guiding along the freeway.
Commissioner Marofsky stated his concern with the IP guiding
and questioned access to I-494 via Fernbrook Lane or Schmidt
Lake Road, and whether or not the road system is designed
for IP guiding.
Commissioner Pierce indicated agreement with LA -4 guiding
because a residential area would be nice as it would back up
on the golf course.
Commissioner Wire made a statement with regard to tax
increment financing.
MOTION by Commissioner Marofsky, seconded by Commissioner MOTION TO APPROVE
Pierce to have Staff provide an analysis of reguiding the
LA -3 a quarter mile west of the I-494 corridor from the Soo

Commissioner Zylla questioned whether or not the developer
of the RPUD (Lake Camelot Estates) land that is still
undeveloped knows about the reguiding.
Associate Planner Cottingham stated that the developer may
not be aware of the reguiding but indicated that it would be
in favor of the changes as proposed.

there was no LA -1 guiding in this area and indicated that he
would like to see major reguiding in this area.
Commissioner Marofsky agreed with Chairman Plufka. He also
stated that some of the problem is with the Thoroughfare
Guide Plan. Commissioner Marofsky indicated he would like
Staff, or a consultant, to come up with recommendations in
this regard.

MARCH 15, 1988
The Study Session of the Plymouth Planning Commission was
called to order at 7:30 p.m.
MEMBERS PRESENT: Chairman Richard Plufka, Commissioners
John Wire (arrived at 7:35 p.m), Hal
Pierce, Dennis Zylla, Michael Stulberg,
Larry Marofsky and Joy Tierney.
MEMBERS ABSENT: None.
STAFF PRESENT: Community Development Director Blair
Tremere, Community Development Coordinator
Chuck Dillerud and Associate Planner Al
Cottingham.
Chairman Plufka opened the meeting by reviewing the
tentative agenda that had been established at the close of
the March 8, 1989 Regular Planning Commission meeting. He
reminded Commissioners that following a review of directions
that had been given the Staff for analysis of Land Use Guide
Plan changes to this date, it was the goal of the Commission
to begin looking at land use guiding in the area west of
Vicksburg Lane.
Commissioner Marofsky indicated that he would like all
Commissioners to receive a new spread sheet which would
indicate the impact of reguiding directions for analysis the
Commission had given the Staff. Coordinator Dillerud
indicated that the spread sheet was being updated after each
Study Session and that the Commissioners had a new spread
sheet, including the most recent reguiding directions for
analysis, at their tables this evening.
Director Tremere reminded the Planning Commission that the
City Council was desirous of a review of the Land Use Guide
Plan in the Urban Service Area of Plymouth as soon as
possible. He indicated that, as the Commissioners had seen
Planning Commission Study Session
March 15, 1989
Page 62
from land use inventory that had been previously presented,
developable land is in short supply within the area of
Plymouth currently having urban services. The servicing of
the "Post 1990 Urban Service Area" is rapidly approaching
and the Council is desirous of a recommendation as to the
status of the current Land Use Guide Plan in areas that they
are contemplating soon providing urban services to.
Chairman Plufka suggested that the Planning Commission may
wish to meet with the City Council as soon as this early
Land Use Guide direction and Staff analysis is complete, to
discuss the work of the Planning Commission to date.
Director Tremere reminded the Commissioners of the state law
whereby the Planning Commission is charged with holding a
Public Hearing and developing a recommendation prior to the
consideration by the City Council of any Comprehensive Plan
amendment.
Director Tremere then reviewed with the Planning Commission
a concept of how the classification of commercial land use
could be addressed in the Land Use Guide Plan. He suggested
that commercial uses now guided with the CS, CN, and CC land
use classifications could instead be guided with a single
generic C classification, and then further controlled by
restrictions as to the scale of the commercial activity and
detailed design considerations such as transition to
adjoining properties. This additional control and direction
of design could be handled by multiple Zoning Ordinance
commercial classifications, with specifications covering
each.
Commissioner Tierney queried Director Tremere as to where
automobile sales facilities would fit in a scenario such as
he has suggested.
Director Tremere indicated that would depend on the scale of
such automobile sales operations, and other performance
standards the City might set. Automobile sales are now only
allowed by Conditional Use Permit in the B-3 zone, which
relates to the CS guiding.
Commissioner Marofsky indicated that market forces may have
a substantial impact on the scaling as well as the location
of commercial endeavors within our City. He went on to say
that the scale of the retail activity is the single most
Planning Commission Study Session
March 15, 1989
Page 63
significant impact factor with
properties.
respect to adjoining
Chairman Plufka asked Director Tremere where the CL (Office)
guiding classification would fit in the scenario he has
described.
Director Tremere indicated that he would propose the CL
guiding be left in tact, but perhaps "cleaned up" with
respect to the present structure of allowing substantial
non -office type activity by Conditional Use Permit in the
related zoning district classification.
Commissioner Pierce indicated he was supportive of the
commercial guiding concept suggested by the Director.
MOTION by Chairman Plufka, seconded by Commissioner Pierce
to direct Staff to prepare for consideration of the Planning
Commission a new narrative classification system for the
Land Use Guide Plan that would combine the CS and CN
classifications and eliminate the CC classification. The CL
classification would remain in place but be clarified with
respect to non -office type uses being allowed by Conditional
Use Permit.
Roll Call Vote. All ayes. MOTION carried.
Chairman Plufka indicated that it would be valuable to the
Commission for Staff to prepare graphics showing the
detailed layout of "downtown Plymouth" as currently approved
in the PUD plan. From that layout, the Commission would
then possibly assign commercial guiding consistent with the
new classification system in lieu of the existing CC guiding
that now is depicted for this general location.
Associate Planner Cottingham briefed the Commission with
respect to the Physical Constraints and existing Land Use
Guide Plan classifications for the area bounded by County
Road 24, County Road 101 and State Highway 55. He noted
that this area was bisected by Medina Road, now existing as
a gravel street, but shown on the Thoroughfare Guide Plan to
be of a major collector status in future years.
Commissioner Wire observed that the Highway 55 corridor is
substantially different than that of Interstate 494. He
questioned whether the Commission really wants to do a
reguiding of this corridor on the same basis that the I-494
corridor was addressed. He also asked whether the small CL
guiding at the southeast corner of County Road 24 and
Highway 55 is still valid due to size.

Coordinator Dillerud indicated that the question with regard
to the CL at Highway 55 and County Road 24 had been recently
been raised with regard to a forthcoming Preliminary Plat of
the area immediately south. He suggested that perhaps the
size of this area may not be sufficient to support a CL type
guiding.
Commissioner Zylla indicated that Highways 101 and 55 will
be a future major intersection and that therefore
residential guiding in the immediate vicinity of that
intersection was not appropriate. He further indicated that
he felt that the southeast corner of County Road 24 and
Highway 55 should be a small neighborhood convenience
location rather than the CL guiding that now exists. He
also stated that he had a difficult time accepting the fact
that County Road 24 and Highway 55 must be a major diamond
interchange as the Thoroughfare Guide Plan suggests. He
indicated a deep concern with respect to the current
Thoroughfare Guide Plan proposal to route County Road 9
south to an interchange with County Road 24 at State Highway
55. He noted that there were a number of single family
homes directly serviced by County Road 24 west of Highway
101, and the introduction of County Road 9 traffic to that
corridor would be a major change that would adversely impact
those homes. Finally, Commissioner Zylla indicated that, in
his opinion, guiding should be changed in the area under
discussion from LA -2 to LA -1 in the area south of Medina
Road.
Director Tremere reminded Commissioners that the
Highway 55/County Road 24 interchange element of the
Thoroughfare Guide Plan is a feature that is many years in
the future by definition. He noted that the Commission will
be reviewing the Thoroughfare Guide Plan after completion of
Land Use Guide Plan Update activity. He noted that
thoroughfare interchanges should not be depicted in an
effort to drive surrounding commercial land use guiding. If
an interchange is depicted, it should be as a result of
traffic generated by uses elsewhere in the community, and
only necessary as a traffic handling feature.
Commissioner Marofsky then presented a graphic depicting his
proposals for directing Staff to analyze reguiding of the
County Road 24/County Road 101/Highway 55 area. The plan
depicted introduction of a large section of Planned
Industrial guiding in this area, with the balance single
family residential. The plan proposed to enlarge the
commercial area at the southeast corner of 101 and 55 south,
to include at least the existing church property in that
location.
Planning Commission Study Session
March 15, 1989
Page 65
Commissioner Tierney indicated that her thoughts with regard
to the guiding of this general vicinity were pretty close to
what was represented by the plan Commissioner Marofsky
presented.
Commissioner Pierce commented that it was important for the
City of Plymouth to retain close to the same amount of
Planned Industrial guiding in any new Land Use Guide Plan as
existed in the previous Land Use Guide Plan. He noted,
however, that he did not feel that the location of the
Planned Industrial was in any way fixed, and therefore what
Commissioner Marofsky had suggested may have merit with
respect to the Planned Industrial.
MOTION by Commissioner Marofsky, seconded by Commissioner
Wire that the Commission direct Staff to analyze the impact
of reguiding the area west and north of County Road 24, east
of the MUSA lines, and south of Medina Road LA -1 from the
existing LA -2 except for a commercial guiding node at the
northeast corner of County Road 24 and County Road 101.
MOTION by Commissioner Marofsky, seconded by Commissioner
Wire to adopt the balance of the plan for the area bounded
by County Road 24 and Highway 55 as presented by
Commissioner Marofsky.

Pierce, Stulberg and Tierney ayes, Commissioners Marofsky

Commissioner Wire suggested the Commission may wish to
consider removal of the east to west thoroughfare depicted
in the Thoroughfare Guide Plan from relocated County Road 9,
extended northwesterly to intersect with old County Road 9
near Peony Lane. Commissioner Wire also indicated that he
was still in favor of a land use classification where if a
higher density residential class, (such as LA -4) is
indicated on the Land Use Guide Plan map, a developer would
have an option to present development proposals for the
property with a lower density (such as LA -1) without
penalty.
Coordinator Dillerud indicated that Staff generally opposed
land use guiding with that much flexibility built in due to

Coordinator for the new Community Support Program for mentally
ill adults described the activities at the Center which include a
drop-in center, independent living skills training and
recreational opportunities, supportive counseling, in-home

attending these meetings to help facilitate the collaborative
effort of the providers.

PROGRAM INFORMATION
PLYMOUTH REPORT PAGE 5
Community Organizing Fund-raising:
On February 20, 1989, Assistant Planner Kevin Anderson and
Director Patricia Wilder gave a presentation to St. Gerard's
Christian Community Outreach Committee on the need for community
organizing and support for a new runaway youth program.
The Community Outreach Committee recommended a $2,000 allocation
toward planning for the runaway program, with a possible
additional planning grant of $10,000 in a few months. The
Committee also pledged $5,000 in annual support, effective summer
of 1989, toward meeting the on-going operation of a runaway
program.
Emergency Services Funding:
New funds designated as Public Assistance Intervention Funds
($10,000) have been given to NWHHSC from CASH. These dollars are
for emergency loans for individuals on Public Assistance who
encounter a crisis. Both South Hennepin and West Hennepin Human
Services Councils received similar grants for $5,000 each. The
Hennepin County Commissioners are still discussing the
discrepancy in emergency funding levels among the three human
service council planning areas with Randy Johnson requesting that
South and Northwest receive and additional $40,000 to match
West's grant.
Emergency Services Program:
On February 22, area emergency services providers met to provide
input on a draft of an Emergency Services Manual. Included in the
packet was a revised voucher form which included a more detailed
section for gathering statistical information, a data privacy
document, and a written procedure for filing complaints.
Northwest Hennepin Senior Services Study and Directory:
On January 24, the committee met to see the first copy of the
Study and Directory of Senior Services Resources completed by
William Lumel, Supervisor of Hennepin County services to Seniors
Division. The committee gave Mr. Lumel feedback on the study and
directory.
Position Recruitment Update:
Barb Bishop-Tresler, BSW, started on February 2, 1989 as the new
Community Outreach staff person. Her duties include coordinating
the Surplus Commodities Program, administering the Emergency
Services Program and producing two community forums annually
focused on options for low-income individuals.
PLYMOUTH REPORT PAGE 6
Susan Rest, MSW, started on February 15, 1989 as the new
Community Planner. She will be in charge of the research and
planning projects, providing technical assistance to community
providers and coordinating several of the agency networks and
task forces.
Regional Community Support Service Center:
The RCSS opened at the Crystal Gallery Professional Building and
will serve mentally ill persons in the northwest area of Hennepin
County.
Resource Card Update:
The current Resource Card was last printed in January of 1987 and
since then, several agencies have moved or changed their numbers.
The Council is currently looking for funding to update the
Resource Cards (see attached Resource Card).
Surplus Commodities Distribution
The reports have not yet been compiled on the number of people
attending the Surplus Commodities Distribution. However, it
appears less people participated than the last distribution -
this may be due in part to the length of time between
distributions, limited advanced media coverage, and the type of
Products distributed.
Staff updated the Hennepin County Eligibility Certificate,
Temporary Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) and created
new registration cards to aid in better recordkeeping (see
attached Certificate and registration card).

COMMENTS FROM USERS OF THE SERVICE
"We were amazed that our dispute was settled in approximately 45 minutes after going
back and forth with the parties involved for 8 months. Everyone involved was prompt,
courteous and extremely helpful."
"For my husband and me it was a chance to meet and understand the reason behind all
the problems that were arising in our neighborhood. Hearing the other side was very
helpful too. Our neighborhood is more relaxed and friendly as a result."
"This program seemed lige an answer to my prayers. Because I can't seem to
communicate with my daughter and son -in -lav I needed a Mediator outside of the
family."
"I'm so thankful for the wonderful prompt service and in a week the whole thing was
resolved plus a letter of apology from the pasty I was mediating with. I sure will
publicize your service. Thank you."
"We were very satisfied with our mediation experience. Mediators were helpful,
friendly, professional and understanding. We had to compromise on the resolution, but
that was okay. We're very pleased that this service is available."

DATE: April 13, 1989
TO: James G. Willis, City Manager
FROM: Lyle C. Robinson, Fire Chief
SUBJECT: 1988 FIRE CALL ATTENDANCE
At the end of 1988 we had 54 active members on the Fire Department. Station I
had 29 members and Station II had 25 members.
The year end review of percentages showed that Station I had 25 members, or 86
percent, who had attended 30 percent or more of the calls for the year.
Station II had 19 members, or 76 percent, who had attended 30 percent or more
of the calls for the year.
There were ten members who did not meet the minimum requirement for fire calls
and they have been notified. One of those members did choose to resign from
the department shortly after the first of the year.
I felt that during the year we had followed the requirements for membership in
fire call attendance and training attendance very closely. There were several
letters of warning and in some cases reduction of pay actions taken. As I
reviewed the year end results I felt that it would be appropriate to take some
positive action and recognize those members who had excelled in their fire
call attendance for the year. To that end I issued the Commendation
Certificates to ten firefighters from Station I and five firefighters from
Station II. Their names and percentages are on the attached sheet.
I am pleased that you wish to carry this information to the City Council as I
feel all too often the good news is buried under the bad news.
At the end of 1988 we had six firefighters who were in training during the
year and therefore were not required to make the fire call percentage for the
total year. They were not included in my statistics. These six people are
all day response people we recruited last year. Last night three of them were
given their new helmets indicating that they had completed their Firefighter I
training and were beginning their six month probation period. The other three
members are still in Firefighter I training and will be completing that and
moving into probation later this year. These six people will greatly assist
in our daytime response once they have completed their full training period
and probation period.
James G. Willis, City Manager
April 13, 1989
Page 2
I feel the department is shaping up well especially with this addition of
daytime response people. It will continue to be a priority with us to guard
against losing those day response people during the coming years. I still
have some applications in my file for young people who are interested in
becoming members, but I have informed them that we do not currently have any
openings.
Jim, this was really kind of a brief overview of several other factors besides
that percentage awards we made last night. If there is other information that
you would desire please let me know and I will do what I can to get it for
you.

Plvmouth City Council
Dear Council Members:
The purpose of this letter is to bring to your attention what we
feel is a potentially dangerous situation.
As parents of a 1st grader "walker" that attends Birchview
Elementary School we have on many occasions escorted the
neighborhood children to school requiring us to cross Ranchview
Lane.
This road, which the school buses must use to enter or exit
Birchview causes us a great amount of concern. The portion of
Ranchview Lane that passes in front of Birchview is a very narrow
stretch of road. Narrower it, seems than any of the other roads in
the neighborhood. In addition, there is u4 patrol, sidewalks or
even a boulevard for the children to stand while waiting to cross
as the buses pull in and out with barely enough room to pass each
other. In our mounting concern for the children's safety we
attempted (unsuccessfully) to have the children bused the one
block just to avoid having them cross this road.
We and others have voiced these concerns to the school on a
number of occasions. The Birchview staff stated that they too,have
been concerned about this matter for years. Their suggestion has
been for us to contact the city.
It is very apparent that Plymouth has and will continue to
exhibit a high standard of educational commitment and we are
confident that the safety of the children will never be
overlooked.
Sincerely, 4 1

SUBJECT: YOUR MARCH 7, 1989 LETTER
Dear Mr. Dohm:
Virgil Schneider in his March 21 response to you indicated that "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 that
Park and Recreation Director Blank contact you about the specific
construction schedule for this trail."
I have discussed the trail issue with Park and Recreation Director Blank.
He confirms that the Mayor is correct that a trail is contemplated on 39th
Avenue to Union Terrace. The trail plan the Mayor provided to you describes
that there are three types of City trails. Class 1, which is a separate
trail normally isolated from the roadway by a number of feet; Class 2, which
is often a road shoulder which may be distinguished from the roadway by
markings and; Class 3, which is the signed local residential roadway
surface. In the case of the trail identified above, the roadway itself is
considered to be the trail surface.
I hope this letter clarifies the matter for you. If you have any questions,
please let me knoye.

Mr. Roy Frank Dohm \ CITY OF
3825 Trenton Lane North PLYMOUTR
Plymouth, MN 55441
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.
Sincerely,
Virgil Schneider

To the s of Plymouth,
As a Senior Citizen and resident of Plymouth, 1 ,appreciate
the indication of concern expressed in Plymouth on Parade.
Dut I have no use for a Community Center miles away from
my home. 1 have no time to travel there and as I get older I
will be unable to made the trip.
V.'hat 1 need is sidewalks near my home so that I can safely
take a walk for .,exercise. This would also give a chance to talk
with the neighbors.
Sidewalks would also be of ;rent value to my children. They
would have a safe place to walk to school and to visit friends.
T have an unusual opportunity to observe the importance of this
because my children live part of the time with their '.'other
in
in a read city with sidewalks. ',"'here there are sidewalks my
children have three times as many friends. They know everyone in
the neighborhood. Tn Plymouth, without sidewalks, they have no
friends in the neighborhood because they have no place to meet.
1 have to drive them everywhere and they still have a
circur:iscribed social life.
If you can't build the sidewalks that I need, then please
use the money in the Public Improvement Revolving, Fund to
reduce ny future taxes so that my children and I can get some
benefit fror;i it. I don't believe that the Council has any right
to spend that i.ioney for only a few people.
The ]'irk and Recreation Commission wastes a lot of money on
trails which we can't walk to because of the lack of sidewalks.
Yours truly,

Plymouth, MN 55447
Dear Fred,
March 28,1989
17205 19th AVe. N
Plymouth,MN 55447
I am writing you in an effort to solicit the help of the City
of Plymouth, to correct a situation, that has, since last
fall, resulted in considerable damage to my property. This
damage consists of the destruction of a section of my
underground water sprinkler system, the ruining of a
substantial amount of the front lawn, and the annihilation of
our mail box, on two occasions.
The reason for all this carnage, is the numerous vehicles,
some at high speed, that leave the road surface, and end up
on my front lawn, sometimes stopped only by a row of small
trees, whenever any surface glazing of 19th Ave. occurs.
The curve and grade of the road, along with driver tendency
not to slow down, during adverse weather conditions, are the
main contributors to the problem.
Sanding of the road surface has had minimal effect, and it
seems impractical to expect, that at the first sign of
slippery conditions, the'city assigns a sand truck, on a
permanent basis, to patrol our street.
We have had the City of Plymouth police involved in this
issue on more then one occasion, even to the extent of having
our drive way used as the location of a radar speed trap.
It became obvious to the officers, as it had to me, that the
only permanent solution to this problem is that the city
erect a permanent barrier, either natural, such as boulders,
or of the guard rail type, along the front of my property.
I would appreciate it, if your department would review the
situation, and recommend to the appropriate authorities what
remedial action should be taken as soon as possible.
I am planning to landscape the entire area in early spring,
and would like to coordinate my plans with the action your
department will take.
I can be reached during the day, at my office, 893-2793,
and my wife can be reached at home, 475-0975.
I am looking forward to a speedy resolution of this issue.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Zacharias:
It is unfortunate that some motorists are such careless drivers that they
have left the travelled roadway on 19th Avenue and caused damage to your
lawn. The City has placed warning signs on either side of this curve to
advise motorists of the curve in the street. We have also placed a 25
m.p.h. warning for the maximum speed around the curves. If motorists would
obey these warning signs, there should be no problem with them staying on
the roadway.
You requested that the City erect permanent barriers of a guardrail type, or
place boulders in the front of your property. A guardrail would need to
meet street safety standards and is used when a vehicle leaving the roadway
has a likelihood of hitting an obstruction immediately adjacent to the
roadway or going down a steep decline. This is not the case in front of
your property. Also, these guardrails are very unsightly in residential
neighborhoods.
The City cannot place boulders within the street right-of-way because of the
liability problem we are creating for the City. The City owned boulevard in
front of your property is approximately eight feet wide and this must be
clear of substantial obstructions.
You have planted a row of trees along your property line. I would suggest
that you continue to plant additional trees along the property line to
prevent careless drivers from entering your yard. These trees cannot be
planted within the street right-of-way.
I would also suggest that you move your mailbox to the easterly side of your
driveway. I believe this is a better location to prevent the mailbox from
being struck by a vehicle leaving the roadway. This should also have the
additional benefit of less snow being placed by the mailbox when the street
is plowed.
It is very disconcerting that there are careless motorists that do not pay
attention to the warning signs which have been placed on either side of the
curve. If you think there is excessive speeding taking place on this
street, you should continue to call the Police Department by dialing 911.
Sincerely,
Fred G. Moore, P.E.

Dear Ms. Adam:

\-�S
Thank you for your letter of April 4 in which you raised a couple of
specific concerns.
With respect to the matter of environmental protection, particularly the
forest area by the City Center, I am pleased to inform you that it is our
intent to preserve that wooded area. As you may know, there is a natural
amphitheater just north of the City Center and south of the wooded area.
The wooded area is a superb environmental attribute to this natural
amphitheater and we have every intent to maintain it. The proposed
Community Center will be located immediately north of the wooded area and
will impact some of the trees on the north side of the woods. This impact
will be minimized as far as practical.
With respect to other wooded areas throughout the community, the Council is
currently considering strengthening its existing tree preservation policy.
We recognize the importance of our wooded areas to the beauty and
environmental quality of our community. For your information I am enclosing
a copy of the current tree preservation policy which we are utilizing.
The second question deals with the protection of the wooded areas so as to
provide shelter for animals. I believe that to the degree we are successful
in preserving wooded areas we will encourage the preservation of those
animals which use the woods for habitat. This is not to suggest, however,
that we will continue to enjoy all of the wild animals which we currently
observe, particularly in those areas of Plymouth adjacent to undeveloped
parcels. As parcels are developed, the natural habitat of some animals,
e.g., deer, fox, etc., will be altered.
I appreciate your interest in support of the proposed Community Center. It
Is our expectation that this center will be particularly well suited for the
types of activities so many of our citizens enjoy. The current planning
does not contemplate indoor tennis at this time, however.
Thank you for sharing your observations with us and I trust my responses
adequately address your concerns. If you have any further questions or
comments, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Yours truly,
Vi gil Schneider

TREE PRESERVATION
a/tree The Developer shall exert its best good faith effort to avoid unnecessary damage
to or destruction of all significantly sized, healthy trees other than the elm,
box elder, or cottonwood species when locating and constructing homes on these
lots. To qualify for required preservation, a tree must be healthy, be at its
base entirely outside of the construction zone and measure a minimum of 8" in
diameter at a distance of 54" above ground.
b/tree At the time of preparation of each lot survey, the Developer's surveyors shall
locate and stake the construction zone on each lot. The "construction zone" is
defined as the area which will be occupied by the structure and driveway plus an
additional portion of the lot which extends, in all instances from the farthest
projection of the structure, 20' to the front, 20' to the rear, and 15' to each
side. The construction zone shall also extend 10' beyond all edges of the
driveway pavement. The Developer shall submit this lot survey to the City
Forester at least two working days before an application is made for a building
permit.
c/tree Within five working days from the date of application for a building permit, the
Plymouth Forester or another representative of the Plymouth Park and Recreation
Department shall clearly identify those trees outside of the construction zone
whose preservation is to be required. The tree identification shall be made in
a timely manner in order not to delay the issuance of a building permit. The
Forester shall submit a listing of the trees identified for preservation, which
list shall be attached to the building permit.
d/tree When the construction on the house has been completed and an application is made
for an "Occupancy Permit," the Developer shall also notify the City Forester to
inspect the site for damage to trees marked for preservation. The City Forester
shall inspect the site and make a report to the Developer on any trees which
have been destroyed or which may have potential for damage because of the
construction activity. If there are trees which indicate potential damage from
construction activity, a reinspection shall be made in 16 months. Upon the
reinspection, any trees listed for potential damage which are not living will be
deemed destroyed by the initial construction. For the destruction of each tree
identified pursuant to Paragraph 4, the Developer will be required to pay to the
City of Plymouth the sum of $200 per diameter inch.
e/tree The Developer will be responsible for the loss of trees not previously approved
by the City for removal and caused by the builder who first builds on the lot.
Once a certificate of occupancy for the lot is issued, the Developer will no
longer be so responsible except as to trees which the City Forester has
identified at the time of the issuance of the certificate of occupancy as having
been potentially damaged by construction activity and if such trees have died
from said construction activity, within 16 months thereof, then the Developer
shall be liable therefor. At the request of the Developer, the City shall
provide a written release as to any future liability of the Developer as set
forth above once the trees have been preserved or a penalty has been paid, all
pursuant to the above provisions.
f/tree The Developer shall provide a bond to insure payment to the City for all trees
to be saved outside the construction zone which are destroyed. Reduction of
this bond will be in accordance with City procedures for the development
contracts and performance agreements. The amount shall be determined by the
Community Development Department.
g/tree All monies collected pursuant to this provision shall be placed in a fund and
applied to the improvement of facilities in the neighborhood parks.

Mayor Schneider:
ONJUUTH
As a three year resident of the Beautiful City of Plymouth,
I try to maintain an awareness of this community I am so
pleased to live in.
I compliment you and the boards great effort to establish
an excellent recycling program. I'm very concerned about
our environment and each community has to make an effort to
protect it.
I have some conerns which I hope you can address:
1. What are the city's plans for more environmental pro-
tection? For example, will the forest area by city
hall remain?
2. Are there plans to protect the forest areas so animals
remain sheltered?
Also, I'm in favor/?�e proposed Community Center. I missed
the last meeting, so I was not able to voice my concern. It
sounds like a very useful facility. Being a health minded,
athletic citizen of Plymouth, I plan to use it. I would like
to see indoor tennis court areas also provided. Both Hopkin
Junior Highs have facilities that provide both indoor basket-
ball and tennis courts in one area. Versitility should be
an important consideration so many needs of the community
can be met.
Please consider this idea for the community center.
I'd appreciate your response to these concerns.
Thank you.

M.A. Mortenson Company informed Wayzata Public Schools early last fall that
concentrated efforts would be made to shorten the construction duration of
Plymouth Creek Elementary School in an effort to occupy this facility by 9/1/89
! and thereby make up the 11 1/2 weeks of delay experienced in starting the
construction of this project caused by the late receipt of permits from the City of
Plymouth. At that time, Mortenson advised Wayzata Public Schools that we would
be involved in detailed scheduling efforts prior to 4/1/89 when we would advise you
as to whether or not Wayzata Public Schools could plan on occupying Plymouth
Creek by 9/1/89.
Attached please find our detailed Construction Schedule that we have developed (3
pages plotted 3/21/89). This schedule essentially shows that Plymouth Creek will be
completed by 8/1/89. We believe that this schedule, which is based upon current
design and contractor information, provides us with one month (i.e. August) of a
cushion to resolve potential problems that we anticipate we will experience. The
installation of furnishings being provided separately by Wayzata Public Schools and
the orientation of School District staff would also occur during the month of
August.
It is our understanding that the construction labor negotiations are in the process
of reaching agreement and that this issue will not hamper our efforts to complete
Plymouth Creek. (Obviously, an unforeseen strike could hamper our chances of
achieving this schedule).
We believe that the current status of Plymouth Creek should be considered as a
major accomplishment. We are convinced that it will be necessary for the entire
project team (i.e. Wayzata Public Schools, City of Plymouth, Eos, Mortenson and the
Contractors) to continue to apply concentrated efforts to complete this project on
schedule. You may rest assured that Wayzata Public Schools has Mortenson's
commitment to these efforts.

The Wayzata School Board may be requested during the remaining months of
construction to approve additional costs related to either accelerated deliveries,
overtime work, or second shifting if Mortenson determines that such measures are
necessary. We will be working to minimize such requests.
We look forward to students entering this impressive new school this fall.
