Mr. Cruse expects that within one year a design will be completed for the structure, and within one and one-half years the building will be under construction and ready for use no later than two and one-half years from now.

Cruse expects that they will be looking to place the new post office within Plymouth. CITY COUNCIL INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM May 4, 1989 Page 3 7.

Willis City Manager City of Plymouth 3400 Plymouth Boulevard Plymouth, MN 55447 HT TULBCOPIBR Re: Study Session on Regulation of Adult Entertainment Dear Jim: I have made arrangements for Al Hyatt of the Minneapolis City Attorney's office to come to the study session on May 8, 1989. Mr. Hyatt is in the civil division of the Minneapolis City Attorney's office and has been an attorney since 1968. He was involved in the litigation challenging the original City of Minneapolis Adult Entertainment Regulation, which was declared unconstitutional by Judge Diana Murphy in 1981. He also was the primary attorney responsible for drafting the current City of Minneapolis ordinance, which was adopted in December, 1988. I also intend to have Paul Baertschi of our office present for the meeting. Paul is one of our prosecutors, who was previously with the Anoka County Attorney's office. Paul is very familiar with the criminal laws relating to obscenity and will provide a summary of the current laws and how they can be used as an enforcement mechanism. I will also make a brief presentation summarizing the results of an informal survey that I have done of several suburban cities which have thought about regulating in this area.

A public meeting has been scheduled for 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, May 16 in the City Center Council Chambers to review and discuss these data. You are encouraged to attend, ask questions and offer your cc mients. While we would like to recover all of the City's operating costs for the proposed ccmmuiity center, we know that this will not be possible. Therefore, same level of property tax subsidy will be required. City staff is preparing a forecast of the estimated revenue a community center may reasonably be expected to generate as well as projected operating costs. These data will be available for review at the Parks and Recreation Department in the City Center beginning Thursday, May 11. The five person Special Cimmunity Center Architectural Committee, appointed by the City Council, will facilitate the meeting. Ccimlittee members are: Councilmember Jerry Sisk (Chair), CouncillEimber Lloyd Ricker, PRAC Chairperson Barb Edwards, Public Works Director Fred Moore and Parks and Recreation Director Eric Blank. City Manager Jim Willis is an ex -officio member. If you have any questions about the meeting, please contact Parks and Recreation Director Eric Blank at 559-2800 ext. 265.

The City is no exception however I must explain the Zachary playfield situation to you in the event that there are any questions. The Zachary playfield consists of thirty-seven acres with basically two separate watering control systems. Due to the size and the two controllers one north and one south they both will not operate simultaneously. As a result the north half of the playfield will be considered an even address and the south half as odd and will be watered accordingly. It may appear as though the playfield is being watered continually when in reality we are adhering to the odd -even schedule via the north south address or controller situation. If you require any further information you may contact me at 559-2800 extension 328. Sincerely, Mark S. Peterson Park Superintendent MSP:cr cc: James G. Willis, City Manager Fred G.

Carlquist - Public Safety Director FROM: Steve Correll - Services Supervis� SUBJECT DOG RELATED VIOLATION PREVENTION Since the beginning of the year, there have been 246 dog complaints filed with the Plymouth Police Department. As the summer months approach, the frequency of these complaints will increase. The following steps are being implemented to pro -actively address the issue: 1. The CSOs are being assigned to patrol trail/park areas known to attract pet owners and their pets, and to initiate positive contacts with dog owners and disburse pet ordinance information pamphlets. 2. The Pet in Plymouth brochure is being revised to accurately state Plymouth's pet ordinances in a positive informative manner. 3. Mark Peterson has stated that most trails and parks and "signed" with information on cleaning up after pets and pets on leash ordinances. Mr. Peterson requests that the CSOs identify any other "hot spots" where pet - related problems are occurring so that signs may be posted in these loca- tions. 4. A brief message will be included on the Plymouth water bill at the end of May. The message will address cleaning up after pets when off their property. 5. Additional information has been collected for addition into the July/August edition of PLYMOUTH ON PARADE. The information will focus on cleaning up after pets and what defines control of a pet while on owner's property. These steps, along with the continued efforts of the CSOs, should assist in creating public awareness of pet ownership responsibility in Plymouth. SC:gs cc: Lieutenant Saba CITY OF PLYMOUTH PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES APRIL 12, 1989 The Regular Meeting of the Plymouth Planning Commission was called to order at 7:30 p.m. MEMBERS PRESENT: Chairman Richard Plufka, Commissioners John Wire, Dennis Zylla, Joy Tierney, Michael Stulberg and Hal Pierce (arrived at 7:40 p.m.). MEMBERS ABSENT: Commissioner Larry Marofsky STAFF PRESENT: Community Development Coordinator Chuck Dillerud, Assistant Engineer John Sweeney and Planning Secretary Jackie Watson. MOTION by Commissioner Zylla, seconded by Commissioner Tierney, to approve the Minutes for March 29, 1989, as submitted. VOTE. 5 Ayes. MOTION carried. Chairman Plufka introduced the request of Prudential Insurance Company/Northwest Business Campus for an Amended Mixed Planned Unit Development Preliminary Plat/Plan/Conditional Use Permit and Mixed Planned Unit Development Final Site Plan/Final Plat located at the southwest quadrant of Annapolis Circle and Campus Drive. Chairman Plufka waived the reading of the April 3, 1989 Staff Report. Chairman Plufka introduced Mr. Mike Gair representing the petitioner. Mr. Gair stated that this project is a joint venture with Ron Clark Construction and Prudential Insurance Company. Mr. Gair introduced Mr. Ron Clark, Ron Clark Construction, and Mr. Ron Pentz from Prudential Insurance Company. MOTION TO APPROVE VOTE - MOTION CARRIED PRUDENTIAL INSURANCE CO./NORTHWEST BUSINESS CAMPUS (88133) (9) Mr. Pentz stated that this development will be a one land owner development owned by Mr. Ron Clark. Mr. Pentz expressed his support of the project. Mr. Gair stated that he would like to expand the uses for the Service Center as stated on Page Two of the Staff Report. He stated that the following items should include expanded definitions: Stationery - to include art suppliers or graphic suppliers; Card Shop - to include cards and gifts such as Hallmark; Candy - to include bakery, pastry, ice cream, or yogurt; Financial - to include credit union or financial broker; Photo - to include electronic suppliers; and Shoe Repair - to include beauty or barber. Chairman Plufka asked whether he was including convenience stores, retail stores and foodstuffs in his definition. Mr. Gair replied that the development would be strictly a service center and that no grocery stores, other than the previously approved convenience store were proposed. Commissioner Stulberg asked why the building plan was changed to be just one building instead of 5 as originally proposed. Mr. Gair stated that this was Ron Clark's decision. Mr. Ron Pentz stated that many developments that Prudential is associated with have the same type of service center - one building with many retail service centers. Commissioner Wire stated that the building orientation on the property may not be the best as he observed the trash structures located near the public street would be visible. Mr. Gair stated that landscaping would hide any unpleasant views. Commissioner Wire asked if there would be a service station on the campus. Mr. Gair stated that the service station located at the northwest corner of Northwest Boulevard and Xenium Lane in the 1985 plans had been relocated into the convenience center of this site. Commissioner Wire asked if the service station hours would be the same as those of the Northwest Business Campus and the balance of the proposed service center. Mr. Pentz replied that the hours of the campus are not given - that it operates 24 hours a day. v Commissioner Wire asked if the lighting for the service center would be visible from the highway and said that if it was not visible from the highway would it then minimize customer traffic from the highway. Mr. Gair stated that the lighting will match that of the Prudential Building and will not extend beyond the property lines. Ref1ectors will be used to cast the light downward and there will be no floods on the buildings. Signs will be backlit and will match the Campus fixtures. Chairman Plufka asked if there would be one pylon sign. Mr. Gair replied that there would be one pylon sign at the southwest corner of the site. Commissioner Wire stated that the previous design prohibited tenants of the center from placing signs on I-494. Mr. Pentz said that the subject of signage will be addressed in a later petition to the Commission to amend the entire Northwest Business Campus sign plan. Commissioner Zylla stated that he did not feel the campus alone could support the center. He did not want to see uses so restricted that the center would not succeed. Chairman Plufka opened the Public Hearing. There was no one to speak on the issue. Chairman Plufka closed the Public Hearing. Commissioner Wire asked if a the traffic study looked at Northwest Boulevard and Campus Drive usage. Coordinator Dillerud reported that the traffic consultants had suggested some improvements and some of the improvements are already contemplated. Commissioner Stulberg asked if the center proposed to draw customers from the campus only. Mr. Gair responded that the center hoped to draw from the campus as well as the industrial business in the area. Commissioner Zylla stated that commercial areas are important to industrial areas and he felt it was important for the center to pull people from outside the campus and to expand its uses to insure success. G) L&C>' Commissioner Stulberg stated that the pylon sign should face Highway 55 in order to draw additional traffic to the center. Coordinator Dillerud stated that a pylon visible from Highway 55 would not be needed if this site was truly to serve just the Northwest Business Campus. MOTION by Commissioner Stulberg, seconded by Commissioner MOTION TO APPROVE Zylla to recommend approval of the resolution for an Amended Mixed Planned Unit Development Preliminary Plat/Plan/Conditional Use Permit and Mixed Planned Unit Development Final Site Plan/Final Plat subject to the 10 conditions listed and to include a Condition # 11 to allow additional uses as permitted in the B-2 district or allowed by conditional use permit in the B-2 district - with a Conditional Use Permit. Chairman Plufka stated that B-2 usage is appropriate for neighborhood shopping centers and is not appropriate here. He said that the increased usage is more appropriately B-3. Mr. Ron Clark stated that he is not interested in having grocery sales in the center but that he had talked to users that are acceptable in the B-2 areas that are interested. He said that some latitude is needed because uses will change as time goes on. MOTION to amend the Main Motion by Chairman Plufka, seconded MOTION TO AMEND MAIN by Commissioner Tierney to change Condition #11 to include MOTION uses as permitted or allowed by Conditional Use Permit in the B-3 area. Roll Call Vote. 4 Ayes, Commissioners Wire and Stulberg, VOTE - MOTION CARRIED Nay. MOTION carried. Roll Call Vote on Main Motion as Once Amended. 6 Ayes. VOTE ON MAIN MOTION - MOTION carried. MOTION CARRIED. Chairman Plufka introduced the Request of C. G. Rein Company C. G. REIN COMPANY - for a Land Use Guide Plan Amendment. (89004) Coordinator Dillerud presented a summary of the Staff Report of April 4, 1989. Chairman Plufka introduced Sherman Goldberg, representing the petitioner. Mr. Goldberg discussed the traffic study results and stated that he did not feel the traffic would increase as much as the traffic study stated. He asked who would pay for the traffic signals that would be needed. He stated that ad valorem taxes would not be used. Chairman Plufka stated that the Draft Approval Resolution stated that the traffic signals would be the responsibility of the developer. Chairman Plufka opened the Public Hearing. Chairman Plufka introduced Mr. Paul Rodrigue of 4724 Erickson Drive. Mr. Rodrigue stated that his concerns were trash bins in the back of buildings such as this proposed development, the increased traffic in the neighborhood and his desire to see that such developments were landscaped so that they were hidden from the neighborhood. Chairman Plufka closed the Public Hearing. Commissioner Wire asked if the 500 foot notice included the homes across Nathan Lane from the church. Coordinator Dillerud stated that it did not. Commissioner Pierce said that relocation of the frontage road would involve purchasing land currently owned by Northwestern Bell. Chairman Plufka said that his main concern was the necessity of moving the frontage road. MOTION by Commissioner Wire, seconded by Commissioner MOTION TO DEFER Tierney to recommend deferral of the petition until the first meeting after the Public Hearing on the Land Use Guide Plan. Roll Call Vote. 4 Ayes, Commissioner Stulberg and Chairman VOTE - MOTION TO DEFER Plufka, Nay. MOTION carried. CARRIED Coordinator Dillerud stated that the petition would be recalled after the Public Hearing on the Comprehensive Plan Amendments. Chairman Plufka introduced the request of Carlson Real CARLSON REAL ESTATE Estate Company for a Conditional Use Permit to allow duplex COMPANY (89013) structures in the R-2 Zone in the Carlson Center First Addition. Commissioner Stulberg excused himself from the discussion of this item and stepped down. Chairman Plufka waived the reading of the April 3, 1989 Staff Report. Chairman Plufka introduced Mr. Larry Chiat of Carlson Real Estate Company representing the petitioner. Mr. Chiat stated that he was in agreement with the Staff Report. Chairman Plufka opened the Public Hearing. Chairman Plufka introduced Mr. Timothy Myers of 550 Wedgewood Lane. Mr. Myers stated that he was opposed to the construction of duplex homes. He said that the current neighborhood is single family homes and that another new development by MJM will also be single family homes. He felt the duplex development would cause increased traffic. Mr. Myers also stated that in a duplex development sale of homes takes longer and the homes generally become rental property when the owner cannot sell them. Renters generally do not care for the property, and rental property would reduce the value of the single family homes. Chairman Plufka asked Mr. Chiat why the developer had decided on duplex homes. Mr. Chiat stated that the property had been zoned for this type of development. Chairman Plufka asked if the buildings would all be of the same design, and stated that appearance was important. Coordinator Dillerud stated that since no site plan is required that if appearance is important, the subject should be addressed now. Commissioner Zylla stated that he felt design was important, and hoped this conversation is conveyed to the marketer, but that he did not want to dictate design. MOTION to recommend approval by Commissioner Zylla, seconded MOTION TO APPROVE by Chairman Plufka for a Conditional Use Permit to construct two-family (duplex) structures in the Carlson Center 3rd Addition subject to the 5 conditions listed in the Staff Report of April 3, 1989. MOTION to amend the Main Motion by Commissioner Wire, MOTION TO AMEND MAIN seconded by Commissioner Pierce to state in Condition #5 MOTION that single family homes are not precluded in the development if desired by a buyer. v Roll Call Vote to Amend Main Motion. 5 Ayes. MOTION to Amend Carried. Roll Call Vote on Main Motion Once Amended. 5 Ayes. MOTION Carried. Chairman Plufka introduced the request of O'Bresky Enterprises, Inc. for a Conditional Use Permit for a Class II restaurant in the Waterford Park Plaza Shopping Center. Chairman Plufka waived the reading of the April 4 1989 Staff Report. Chairman Plufka introduced the petitioner, Daniel O'Bresky. Mr. O'Bresky stated that he felt the requirement in the Staff Report for 16 offstreet parking spaces was high and from previous experience felt that 12 parking spaces are sufficient at peak hours. Chairman Plufka opened the Public Hearing. Chairman Plufka closed the Public Hearing. There was no one to speak on the issue. VOTE TO AMEND - MOTION CARRIED VOTE - MAIN MOTION - MOTION CARRIED O'BRESKY ENTERPRISES, INC. (89018) MOTION by Commissioner Wire, seconded by Commissioner Pierce MOTION TO APPROVE to recommend approval of the petition for a Condtional Use Permit for a Class II restaurant in the Waterford Park Plaza Shopping Center subject to the seven listed conditions in the Staff Report dated April 4, 1989.

Roll Call Vote. 6 Ayes MOTION carried. Chairman Plufka introduced the request of OPUS Corporation/Tennant Corporation for a MPUD Final Site Plan/Final Plat for a 25 acre portion of the Tennant Corporate Center to include a building for Schneider U.S.A. Chairman Plufka waived the reading of the April 4, 1989 Staff Report. Chairman Plufka introduced Mr. Bob Worthington of OPUS Corporation representing the petitioners. Mr. Worthington showed the Commission a colored drawing of the site. He then introduced Mr. Tom Tully of Schneider U.S.A. Inc. the future occupants of the site. VOTE - MOTION CARRIED OPUS CORPORATION/TENNANT CORPORATION (88146) Mr. Tully gave the Commission a brief overview of the company business. He also expressed how proud Schneider U.S.A. Inc. was of the design of the building and how happy the company was to be located in Plymouth. MOTION by Commissioner Wire, seconded by Commissioner MOTION TO APPROVE Tierney to recommend approval of the MPUD Final Site Plan/Final Plat for a 25 acre portion of the Tennant Corporate Center to include a building for Schneider U.S.A. subject to the 12 conditions as listed in the Staff Report of April 4, 1989. Mr. Worthington stated his concern with Condition #3 as to Building Permits not being issued until a Contract for sewer and water has been awarded. He stated that the developer is responsible for the sewer and water installation and therefore this is not applicable. Mr. Worthington also stated his concern with Condition #5. He suggested that the City, when naming the streets in the development, should look at the two parallel streets that come together to form a loop and adjust the naming of the street. VOTE. 6 Ayes. MOTION carried. VOTE - MOTION CARRIED Chairman Plufka introduced the request of Edward Nordling EDWARD NORDLING (89010) for a Lot Division/Variance. Coordinator Dillerud presented the March 10, 1989 Staff Report. Chairman Plufka introduced the petitioner Mr. Edward Nordling. Mr. Nordling displayed for the Commission a drawing of the area, and proposed home which would occupy the property if the lot division was approved. He explained how the neighborhood had developed in the past 20 years and his plan to divide his lot. Chairman Plufka opened the Public Hearing. Chairman Plufka introduced Mr. Gary Eitel of 12725 11th Avenue North. Mr. Eitel stated that he was a professional and worked with the Cities of Rogers and Corcoran. He demonstrated how a lot division as Mr. Nordling was requesting could be accomplished. 0 Chairman Plufka introduced Mr. Paul Nelson of 4350 Kings Point Road, Excelsior. Mr. Nelson stated that he was a contractor and was interested in building an architecturally attractive home on Mr. Nordling's property. Chairman Plufka introduced Mr. Bill Lapp of 12840 11th Avenue North. Mr. Lapp reiterated his comments from his letter sent to the Commissioners prior to the meeting, and enclosed in the Commission packets, regarding the failure of Mr. Nordling's request to meet the requirements for a variance. He also stated that he would have positioned his home, which is next to the Nordling property, differently on his lot had he known of the Nordling's intention to divide the property and build another house. Mr. Nordling stated that the proposed building would not obstruct the view of the Lapps. MOTION by Commissioner Stulberg, seconded by Commissioner MOTION TO DENY Zylla to recommend denial of the request of Edward Nordling for a Lot Division/Variance of his property located at 12830 11th Avenue North on findings as follow: 1. There are no special circumstances or conditions affection this property such that the strict application of the provisions of Section 500.21 would deprive the Applicants of reasonable use of this land. 2. The Variance is not necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the Applicants. Roll Call Vote. 5 Ayes, Commissioner Tierney, Nay.

Meeting Adjourned at 11:05 p.m. CITY OF PLYI4DUIH BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENTS AMID APPEALS APRIL, 11, 1989 The Regular Feting of the Board of Zoning Adjustments and Appeals was called to order at 7:30 p.m. MEMBERS PRESENT: Chairman Anderson, Commissioners Hoff, Naftzger, Patterson, Tierney. Commissioner Bigelow arrived at 7:37 p.m. MEMBERS ABSENT: Commissioner Porzio STAFF PRESENT: Associate Planner Al Cottingham and Building Official Joe Ryan MOTION by Commissioner Patterson, seconded by Chairman Anderson, to approve the January 10, 1989 Minutes as submitted. Vote. 3 Ayes. Commissioners Hoff, Tierney and Bigelow abstained. MOTION Carried. NEW BUSINESS: Chairman Anderson introduced the Board Members and reviewed the Variance Criteria contained in the Zoning Ordinance. The request submitted by William Bullard for a Variance from the minimum Shoreland Management Setback for property located at 2025 Xanthus Lane per the April 3, 1989 Staff Report was introduced. Mr. Bullard noted that he had no concerns with the staff report, however, the letter from the Department of Natural Resources which he had received at the meeting was of some concern to him. Chairman Anderson inquired as to the distance between the ordinary high water elevation and the actual shoreline of the lake. Planner Cottingham responded approximately 11 feet based on the survey submitted as part of this application. • •. • ,...�i- VOTE - MMON CARRIED wnLIAM BULLARD, 2025 XAN HUS LANE s • Board of Zoning Adjustment and Appeals Minutes April 11, 1989 Commissioner Naftzger inquired as to the number of homes around this lake which encroach into the Shoreland setback. Planner Cottingham noted that most of the homes probably encroach into the setback since a majority of these homes were constructed prior to the enactment of the Shoreland Management Regulation in 1982. Commissioner Naftzger inquired how many homes around this lake had requested variances for additions which encroach into the Shoreland Management District. Planner Cottingham stated none he recalled. Commissioner Anderson stated when he was at the Bullard's home reviewing the request, Mr. Bullard noted that he wished to have a larger deck than that which was shown on the survey. He inquired if this was still the case. Mr. Bullard responded affirmatively and presented a drawing to the board showing the area of proposed expansion. The Board discussed the location of the proposed deck versus the location of the deck that had been torn down last fall. The Bullards showed slides of the old deck and its location. Commissioner Tierney inquired as to what measures would be taken by the Bullards to help the aesthetics of the proposed deck from the lake. Mr. Bullard noted that they were hoping not to do any plantings since the existing vegetation, in their opinion was adequate. Commissioner Naftzger pointed out to Commissioner Tierney that the Board had not looked at aesthetics in the past when granting variances. Chairman Anderson stated that he was concerned as to the visual impact from the lake with this encroachment. Commissioner Naftzger noted his concern with meeting Condition #2 of the Variance Criteria and finding that this request was unique to this parcel of land. Commissioner Patterson noted that the topography of the lot creates a problem as to placing a slab on grade rather than the deck. which would not require a permit from the City. Commissioner Tierney stated the request was unique to this lot since this home was constructed prior to shoreland management and new homes involving shoreland areas would Board of Zoning Adjustment and Appeals Minutes April 11, 1989 have deeper lots in order to avoid encroachments into the Shoreland setbacks. Commissioner Naftzger could not see how this is unique to this lot since many homes around this lake have the same situation. He stated that he would not have a problem allowing the replacement of the existing deck, but wants to be sure a precedent is not set by allowing the expansion. Commissioner Patterson noted other homes around the lake had decks closer to the lake than this proposal. Commissioner Tierney stated she did not believe that a precedent was being set since the encroachment is no further than the existing deck was. Chairman Anderson expressed his concerns with approving a larger deck than what was initially there. Commissioner Patterson noted that without the construction of a deck, the rear of the home was virtually useless due to the topography of the lot and thus, they do not have reasonable use of their land. Commissioner Naftzger stated that he could see if no deck was constructed then the petitioner would not have reasonable use of the land, however, they have an existing deck even if it is smaller than that proposed and therefore, do have reasonable use of the land. Commissioner Bigelow noted that the real issue is the encroachment into the Shoreland Setback, and not reasonable use of the land. If a precedent were set, then it was set with the original deck and this is not a precedent since it is not encroaching into the setback any further. MOTION by Commissioner Patterson, seconded by Commissioner Tierney to approve the request for a variance from the minimum Shoreland Management setback for a property located at 2025 Xanthus Lane for the reasons stated in the draft Resolution. VOTE. 5 Ayes. Commissioner Naftzger Nay. The request submitted by Tony Eiden, Eiden Construction for a variance from the minimum front yard setback for property located at 520 Cottonwood Lane per the April 3, 1989 Staff Report was introduced. Mr. Eiden introduced Mr. Jim Orr, Schoell & Madson who developed this subdivision. MOTION TO APPROVE VOTE - MOTION CARRIED TONY EIDEN, 520 COTTONWOOD LANE =<�'b Board of Zoning Adjustment and Appeals Minutes April 11, 1989 BI-- -zs -k Mr. Orr stated this lot is a unique situation being at the end of a cul-de-sac on top of a hill. He also stated that one would not notice the encroachment due to the curve in the cul-de-sac. He noted if they were to re -plat this land all over again, they would lay it out the same way. The grading plan submitted to the City as part of the platting procedure showed all of the homes to be a rambler style and that this is not a reality. Mr. Eiden explained that he purchased four lots in this subdivision and want all of them to have their own unique home with no duplication. He pointed out the price range for these homes would be around $250,000. Chairman Anderson inquired if Schoell and Madson were the developers of the land. Mr. Orr responded affirmatively. Chairman Anderson inquired if the developers looked at the grades within this development and felt that homes could be placed on all lots, specifically this lot, and meet the ordinance setbacks. Mr. Orr responded affirmatively, however, he pointed out they did not contemplate these types of homes when they were putting together their grading plan. Chairman Anderson inquired if a home could be constructed based on the approved grading plan. Mr. Orr responded affirmatively, however, the home would probably not match the other homes in the area. Chairman Anderson stated that he was not sure that anything is gained in moving the house forward on the lot. Mr. Orr pointed out they would be saving trees to the rear of the lot and it also allows the home to fit much better on the lot. Chairman Anderson asked if this home could be constructed on this lot without a variance. Mr. Orr responded affirmatively, however, it would require a large amount of fill in order to accommodate the structure. Chairman Anderson inquired if the grading of this lot were similar to the house to the north. Board of Zoning Adjustment and Appeals Minutes April 11, 1989 Mr. Orr responded negatively and that the lot to the north was substantially flatter. Chairman Anderson inquired of Building Official Ryan whether he had any concern with this being a buildable lot. Building Official Ryan noted it may be more costly to build this particular , however, the petitioner could cut down on the depth of the home which would require less fill on the lot. As far as being buildable, this lot would allow for the construction of a home. Commissioner Bigelow inquired as to why this home had such an extensive depth versus the adjoining homes. Mr. Eiden explained that this home was not much deeper than the adjoining homes, however, the survey does not show the entire home on the adjoining lot and therefore, this home appears to be much deeper. The Board discussed the amounts of fill needed in order to construct the home at the required setbacks and the existing topography and its impacts on the lot. Commissioner Naftzger inquired if Mr. Eiden had looked at other layouts for this lot. Mr. Eiden responded affirmatively and pointed out that he had looked at three or four other plans for this lot which would not be any better than what he is proposing. Chairman Anderson noted the petitioner should design a home to fit the lot and not vice versa. Mr. Eiden stated a home could be designed to fit this lot, however, he did not believe it would be in the price range of what he likes to build. Commissioner Hoff inquired whether Mr. Eiden had looked at the lots before purchasing to determine if they were feasible for construction or not. Mr. Eiden noted he bought the lots prior to the platting of the land, and had no idea as to how the lots were going to be laid out. Chairman Anderson noted that it was a nice home, however, the petitioner needs to minimize the encroachments into the setbacks. Board of Zoning Adjustment and Appeals Minutes April 11, 1989 Commissioner Bigelow inquired of staff as to the distance from the rear of the home to the drainage and utility easement. Building Official Ryan responded approximately 35-40 feet. Commissioner Bigelow noted she liked the lay out of the home but with a new home on a new lot, the home should be designed to meet the setbacks. She noted that it was difficult to justify a variance based on this issue. Chairman Anderson noted his concern with the fact that there would be no usable yard if the home were pulled forward on the lot. Mr. Eiden noted that he would rather have area in the rear of the home than in the front. Mr. Orr pointed out that with the home being pulled forward on the lot, there was still a large amount of room between this home and the homes on the adjoining lot. Chairman Anderson stated this is correct as of today, however, the adjoining property owners could expand their homes out to the setbacks which would make the area seem somewhat tight. Commissioner Naftzger inquired if the petitioner could design a home within his price range that would meet the Ordinance setbacks. Mr. Eiden responded affirmatively, however, it would require extensive foundation work. Commissioner Tierney expressed concern with the encroachment being almost half of the required setback. She had difficulty in granting approval when the petitioner had room to work with. Chairman Anderson noted that economics cannot be considered a hardship in a variance case. Commissioner Naftzger pointed out the problem appeared to be design driven and the house should be designed to fit this lot. MOTION was made by Commissioner Naftzger, seconded by MOTION TO DENY Commissioner Tierney to deny the request for a variance from the minimum front yard setback for a property located at 520 Cottonwood Lane for the reasons stated in the draft Resolution. VOTE. 6 Ayes. MOTTON CARRIED. MOTION CARRIED Board of Zoning Adjustment and Appeals Minutes April 11, 1989 Chairman Anderson reviewed the right to appeal the Board's decision to the City Council. The request submitted by Pierce Fleming, DVM for an appeal PIERCE FLEMING, to the Zoning Administrator's determination regarding the definition of a sign per the April 3, 1989 Staff Report was introduced. Mr. Fleming reviewed his request noting that if you read the Ordinance definition of a sign and apply a strict interpretation of that, this could be looked at as signage for the building. However, it was not his intention to have this as a sign. Commissioner Tierney inquired if the petitioner looked at other locations on the site in which to put this. Mr. Fleming responded affirmatively but due to vandalism in the area he had concern with it being destroyed. Chairman Anderson inquired as to the slide on top of Dolphin Pool located to the north. Building Official Ryan noted the City had informed them that this was a violation and was to be removed. Mr. Fleming stated that it was not his intention to use the cat profile to attract attention to the business, but more for how it would silhouette against the sky. Chairman Anderson inquired of staff as to other options for placing the profile. Planner Cottingham noted the profile could be mounted on top of the existing sign or on the wall of the building. MOTION was made by Commissioner Bigelow, seconded by MOTION TO DENY Commissioner Hoff to deny the appeal to the Zoning Administrator's determination regarding the ordinance definition of a sign and its relationship to the cat profile for the reasons stated in the draft resolution. VOTE. 6 Ayes. MOTION CARRIED. VOTE - MOTION CARRIED Chairman Anderson reviewed the right to appeal the Board's decision to the City Council. ADJOURNMENT The meeting adjourned at 9:10 p.m. MINUTES PLYMOUTH SAFETY COMMITTEE April 26, 1989 PRESENT: Gary Pouti, Bob Fasching, Tom Nelson, Craig Bechtold, John Ward, Dan Campbell, Eric Luetgers, Stan Scofield, Frank Boyles, Taud Hoopingarner ABSENT: Joel Franz ALSO PRESENT: Dave Drugg, North Star Risk Services, Judy McMillin I. RISK MANAGEMENT COORDINATOR -- Frank Boyles introduced Taud Hoopingarner, Risk Management Coordinator, to the Committee. II. OLD BUSINESS A. APPROVAL OF MARCH 22, 1989 MINUTES The Committee approved the March 22, 1989 minutes. B. Report on Safety Activities I. Fire Station III Fitness Facilities -- Frank Boyles advised he had met with Dick Carlquist, Lyle Robinson, and Henry Branyon (representing a local fitness facility) to discuss the various types of fitness equipment available from vendors. Areas discussed at the meeting include: 1) appropriate equipment to be installed at the facility; and 2) the services which can be expected from a vendor for maintaining the equipment and setting up a training program on the appropriate use of equip- ment. Frank advised that the Fire Chief is preparing specifi- cations which are to incorporate the conclusions of the meet- ing. He indicated that the specifications would be shared with the committee. 2. Truck Driver Training -- Committee members shared feedback on The truck driver training and evaluation program held on March 27 and 28. Frank advised he would be meeting with Jim Kolstad after the meeting to review the training instructor's evaluation report on the program. He stated that employee comments and recommendations on the program would be forwarded to the Dakota County Technical Institute. Dave Drugg suggested that the City develop its own in-house truck driver/evaluation program for future use. Frank stated that it would be his intent to run the "hands-on" field -type truck driver training program alternately with the classroom driver training program developed by Dave Drugg. PLYMOUTH SAFETY COMMITTEE April 26, 1989 Page 2 3. Seat belt/harness system for Fire Engines -- Frank informed the committee that a list of fire vehicles requiring shoulder harnesses and seat belts was provided by Lyle Robinson to Jim Kolstad. Jim Kolstad in turn had contacted two vendors on the installation. One company, Road Rescue, indicated they would install the seat belts and harnesses as requested. However, because of the company's present workload, the installation would not be immediate. Jim Kolstad will keep Frank informed as to the progress of the installation. 4. Snow and Ice Control in City Center Parking Lot -- Fred Moore's memorandum responding to the Safety Committee's recommendation on snow removal around the flower garden area at the City Center was reviewed. For economic reasons and based on past snow removal experience with the front end loader, Fred recommends the continued use of the front end loader for snow removal at the City Center. Fred indicated that with the proper operation and vehicle operator care, there is no reason not to use the loader. Fred's memorandum also addressed the Safety Committee's sugges- tions on the design of future parking lots. At the March meet- ing, the Safety Committee suggested that, for maintenance purposes, employee input be solicited when designing city park- ing lots. Fred advised that employees are consulted with regard to maintenance procedures. Employee input is used in modifying procedures and also with regard to design of future improve- ments. However, the recommendations may be changed or amended by the City Council when the plans are approved. Fred's memo also noted that the City has standards that are applied to all parking lots within the City requiring landscaping islands and amenities to break up the large areas of asphalt. The committee suggested that the Council be made aware of the additional costs associated with the maintenance of parking lots difficult to maintain because of design. Included in the costs would be the extra maintenance time and losses incurred as a result of parking lot design. 5. Maintenance Equipment Storage -- The committee reviewed the memorandums from Mark Peterson, Jim Kolstad and Eric Blank on a needs assessment for the public works facility. Frank advised that he would be meeting with Mark, Jim and Eric to begin discussions to develop a formalized plan and recommendations for additional equipment storage space at the public works site. 6. Sight Obstructions -- Frank informed the Committee that the sight obstruction at 26th Avenue and Olive Lane had been resolved. With respect to the sight obstruction at 19th and Ithaca Lane, he advised the the property owner had been notified and has until May 14 to remove the sight obstruction. PLYMOUTH SAFETY COMriITTEE April 26, 1989 Page 3 7. Employee Right -to -Know Law -- Taud informed the committee he is in the process of reviewing the changes in the law. From his review, he indicated that most changes are of the recordkeeping type. He will provide a report and draft amendments to the City's employee right -to -know policy at the May meeting. III. NEW BUSINESS A. Safety Committee Member Etiquette -- Committee members discussed how they should handle discussion of Committee accident findings and recommendations with other city employees. Frank reminded the members to refrain from making comments that may ultimately be devisive in nature and undermine our safety efforts. B. Policy regulating Traffic Control Efforts - Claim from Greg Neil -- The committee discussed the traffic control procedure used while scraping ice from the roadway as a result of a watermain break on Highway 101 and 3rd Avenue. Frank suggested that employees be retrained on the City's policy regulating traffic control on city streets and roadways. C. Inspection of Park Facilities -- Taud informed the committee that on April 11, the annual loss control inspection of park playgrounds and facilities was conducted. A memorandum included in the Safety Committee agenda lists all items noted for follow up as a result of the inspection. Taud advised, that for the most part, the items for follow up are not of a major problem. At the May meeting, he will provide the Committee with a status report. D. Consent Agenda -- The committee approved the consent agenda. Consent items include one personal injury accident and one vehicular accident. The personal injury accident was determined non- preventable, and the vehicular accident, preventable. A report and recommendation will be forwarded to the City Manager. E. Review of Vehicular Accident -- The committee deferred action on one vehicular accident for additional information from the vehicle operator. F. Review of Personal Injury Accident -- The committee reviewed one personal injury accident. the accident was determined to be non- preventable. A report and recommendation will be forwarded to the City Manager. The meeting adjourned at 9:30 a.m. C ITV OF PLYMOUTFF April 28, 1989 Mr. Howard J. Osten 14720 13th Place North Plymouth, MN 55447 Dear Mr. Osten: I have your resident feedback form from the April 10th Town Meeting. You state your concerns about the proposed Hennepin County Transfer Station and you ask about the City's position. The City has yet to receive a formal application for plan approval for the transfer station, although we understand that should be coming shortly. The City Council, therefore, has not had the opportunity to formally address a specific proposal. The City has responded to environmental reviews that are required by state law and, at this time, we have been disappointed that the concerns raised by the City were not fully addressed in those environmental reviews. You should consider attending a meeting on May 1 at the Plymouth City Center at 4:30 p.m. where Mayor Schneider will be addressing a group known as the Plymouth Business Action Association regarding the proposed solid waste transfer station. Let me know if you are unable to attend, and I will see that you get a copy of the outline of the Mayor's comments he plans to make at that meeting. You also may contact me periodically to see if the County has submitted an application; once an application has been submitted, it will be reviewed by the City staff and eventually be submitted to the Planning Commission for a public hearing. Thank you for your resident feedback form and for your attendance at the Town Meeting.

I understand your concerns about the new commercial development called "Vicksburg Plaza" and I recommend that you stop by the City Center to review the plans that were approved by the City Council. The plans will show the improvements that should be constructed by the developer and which will be required by the city before the developer is released from the agreement and financial guarantee we hold. I am also aware of neighborhood concerns regarding the lighting, and especially the lighting from the sign. The Building Official has been in touch with the developer regarding that, and we are continuing to monitor this. You may wish to contact the Vicksburg Plaza developer, Mr. Richard Neslund, who was also the developer of Cimarron some years ago, and let him know your concerns. Thank you for your feedback form and for your attendance at the Town Meeting. Please call me if I can be of further assistance.

J. Hughes 18130 27th Place Plymouth, MN 55447 Dear Mr. Hughes: This letter is in response to the resident feedback form that you submitted at the Town Council meeting on April 10, 1989. First, let me address the information contained in the newspaper clipping. I believe the most relevant statement contained in that article was the second sentence that states "we are probably comparing apples and oranges". The article is focused on just two sales out of the thousands that annually occur in the metropolitan area. It is not possible to make any accurate caparisons or valid generalizations from these two sales that are located in a different area than your property. I'm certain it would be easy to find other sales that would present the exact opposite point of view. Generally speaking, there are too many checks and balances in the property assessment system to allow assessors to dramatically undervalue or overvalue properties in their jurisdiction. One of the primary goals of the assessor/appraiser is to insure that similar properties are valued equally, and based on sales of properties similar to yours, that have occurred in Plymouth, I do not believe your property is overvalued. I do share your concern about the increasing tax burden that is placed on senior citizens and others that must rely on fixed incomes. Although you may be the recipient of increasing property values, you won't receive any of these benefits until you sell your property. In the interim, it seems that taxes keep rising, especially in the metropolitan area. However, the statement you made that tax relief is not available if the social security benefits exceed $10,000, is simply not true. The primary determinant for property tax relief is your total household income. It is true that social security benefits are included when determining your household income, but only if your total inane exceeds $35,000 are you excluded from property tax relief. 3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD, PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447, TELEPHONE (612) 559-2800 R.

Shinder's stores have a large selection of magazines, newspapers and sports related stuff. But they also have a selection of "Adult" magazines. They have a very wide age group customer base from grade schoolers to adults. I don't think the merchandise for children and teens belongs in the same store as "Adults' magazines. I've been listening to the council meetings and your beginning to discuss city ordinances to try and control "Adult" pronagraphic stores in Plymouth. I know is very difficult to draft new policies but I think you better get busy or its going to be here before we know it. Also, County Road 9 west of 494 needs to be upgraded to a 4 lanes. I know its scheduled for 1990, I hope plans are already started. Its very difficult to make left hand turns out of Cotton Wood or the POQ areas.

I have forwarded a copy of the letter to Blair Tremere, Director of Planning and Community Development for his files. Unfortunately, your letter was not received until until one day after the Planning Commission's hearing on April 26. Nonetheless, we have shared a copy of the letter with the City Council.

I am a Mooney Lake shoreline homeowner and am very concerned about some aspects of the proposal development, specifically: 1) proposed dredging of the lake; 2) proposed increased capacity of sanitary sewer overflow 'lift station; 3) proposed shoreline modification or setback variances; and 4) the effect on usage of the lake. The attached letter td the DNR addresses the first three issues. Please read it in conjunction with this letter. In summary, I oppose any modification of the lake itself or its existing shoreline and I oppose any variances which would have the effect of having homes built too close to the lake. Regarding item 4) above, I am concerned about how this new "lakeshore property in the Minnetonka area" will be advertised. The current restrictions on Mooney Lake usage need to be addressed. I am not opposed to a housing development, per se, as long as the above concerns are alleviated. Mr. Frank Boyles April 26, 1989 Page 2 I ask that The Planning Commission and City Council do the following: 1) I know that the DNR is responsible for granting approval on the above items 1) through 3). I feel that is the responsibility of the City Council to go on record with the DNR as being against dredging, etc. Please do not let jurisdictional boundaries affect whether you go on record against the habitat impairment. The brochures of the City mention natural resources as one of its big selling points! Let's not risk impairment of a resource which benefits everyone. 2) I feel the City Council should require that advertising for the new houses include comments on the current horsepower limitation for boat motors as well as the snowmobile ban. 3) Please carefully consider all the facts and require (to the extent you can) that there will be no damage resulting from your decisions. I am available at your convenience to discuss these and other issues which may arise. Thank you for your consideration. sincerely, Mark A.

My understanding is that the DNR must approve or disapprove such dredging. I strongly urge you to 1) disapprove any attempt to dredge portions of the lake; 2) disapprove any requests for shoreline modifications or setback variances; and 3) disapprove any request to allow potentially more sanitary sewer overflow into the lake. The lagoons in the north part of Mooney Lake along with their shoreline provide natural habitat for many wild fowl. Furthermore,, if the lake bottom is pierced there is a risk of severe depletion of lake water, as has happened at least once in the past. The lake is currently at very low levels. I cannot believe that the DNR could allow some of Minnesota's wetlands to be impaired or destroyed by a developer claiming that dredging would improve or enhance the habitat. Whose habitat? Certainly not that of the wildlife and around the lake! Not that of existing property owners on the lake, whose aesthetic enjoyment of the lake would diminish and whose property values could plummet if the lake level drops due to the dredgingl Can Lundgren Brothers' prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that there will be no adverse effects? Is Lundgren Brothers willing to shoulder the potential liability should something go wrong? Or would it be that by getting DNR approval, Lundgren could have no liability attaching to it whatsoever? roe Ms. Judy Boudreau April 26, 1989 Page 2 Please, as a Mooney Lake shoreline homeowner, as a citizen concerned about environmental impact, and as an individual who believes that Minnesota's natural resources should not be squandered for a few people's economic gain I urge you to disapprove any proposal to dredge Mooney Lake or to alter the existing shoreline within fifty feet of the high water mark, or to allow sanitary sewer overflow to be increased.

May 3, 1989 Mr. Gerry Chmielewski 12410 - 26th Ave. N. Plymouth, MN 55441 Dear Mr. Chmielewski: fs CITY OF PLYMOUTF+ Mayor Schneider has asked me to repond to your recent letter. I will do so in the order in which your observations were raised. The City hires street sweeping crews from private firms to sweep our streets twice annually. The general practice is to conduct street sweeping operations after the watermains in the area have been flushed. We seek to follow this approach in order to minimize the draw on the neighborhood water lines from fire hydrants to fill the sweepers. Occasionally when we make such use of the hydrants, the water is disrupted and there may be some "rusty" water complaints. In the case of 26th Avenue, the Street Division crews and the contractor were getting ahead of the watermain flushing and therefore, the sweeping was not completed along the entire length of 26th Avenue. By the time you receive this letter, the street sweeping on 26th will probably be complete. Regarding the "new Plymouth city dump," I asked the City Street Division to check out the area thoroughly and to remove debris that may be either within the public right-of-way or on public property. The Street Superintendent has looked at the area east of Magnolia on the south side of 26th and reports only a minor amount of debris. If you believe we have not located the area that you have in question, please let me know. The citizen comment line was discontinued because, quite frankly, there were very few calls placed to it. We are currently using the same line, however, for information sharing on the City's water sprinkling restrictions. If you have a complaint or observation you would like to register with the City, please do not hesitate to call me or my office. Your letter goes on to raise certain questions regarding the City's utility bill and specifically, refers to a letter that appeared in the paper from Mr. William L. Benson. I am enclosing a copy of a letter sent to Mr. Benson In response to his correspondence. 3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD, PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447, TELEPHONE (612) 559-2800 Mr. ferry Chmielewski May 3, 1989 Page 2 With regard to your property taxes, I am informed that you purchased your home on duly 28, 1982 reportedly for a price of $67,500.

Henson 14615 44th Avenue North Plymouth, MN 55446 RE: YOUR LETTER M THE PLYMOUTH CITY COUNCIL REGARDING WATER AND SEWER CHARGES Dear Mr. Henson: I have reviewed your letter to the Plymouth City Council Members and would like to respond to your various questions. Your first question, why do we have two administrative charges, one for sewer and one for water when one water meter can deternine the cost for both? It is true, one meter can determine the cost for both, however, we have many customers in the City of Plymouth that have connections only to city water or only to city sewer. Because of this, we have determined the cost breakdown that is applicable to each service. This account charge is a campilation of all costs involved in the normal maintenance, ccoWter time, supplies, personnel costs, and other contractual services necessary to service utility accounts. These costs are then annualized and divided by 12 for the monthly billings. If the City were to only bill quarterly, these costs would then be divided by 4 and the total for the year would still remain the same. Your second question, why isn't the billing done quarterly? Presently, the City is billing approximately 3 to 4 weeks after the service is provided to the citizens for both water and sewer. If the City were to go to a quarterly billing process, the water and sewer rates would need to be increased to make up for the difference in the cash flow loss. Par wwTle, on the first of each month the City of Plymouth makes a payment to Metropolitan Waste Control Commission for $165,700. This pewynmt is made for Plymouth's share of the sewage treatment costs at Pigs Eye Island. Similarly, the City incurs large electrical bills for the pumping of the water and rvnminng of the various lift stations throughout the City. Tb bill these services on a quarterly basis, would require the City to "up front" the honey for these costs for a longer period of time and therefore require rate increases. The street lighting charge on your billing is the monthly billing for the street lights provided in your neighborhood. These street lights were petitioned by the owners of the property to be installed and billed back to the individual residents. Not everyone has a street light directly in front of their home, and in sane cases, the light may be at the end of the block with all residents sharing in the benefit and the cost. 3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD. PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447. TELEPHONE (612) 559-2800 1-7�\O� The debt service charge shown on your billing is to pay for the servicing of the debt for the treatment facility used for treating City sewage. The charges for water, sewer and street lighting services provided by the City are not subsidized by your property taxes. I hope I have clarified many of your concerns arra I assure you, we are not looking for ways of clipping the paychecks of our citizens, but merely charging for the actual costs of providing the service. If you need further explanation on these services, please feel free to call me. My number is 559- 2600, extension 279. Sincerely, , e - 4-ki Dale E. Hahn Finance Director g-D'(frA. CITY OF May 3, 1989 PUMOUTR Mr. William L. Benson 14615 - 44th Avenue North Plymouth, MN 55446 Dear Mr. Benson: I am responding to your recent letter in which you follow-up on a previous letter written to the City regarding your sewer and water bill. I appreciate your frustration with respect to the high property taxes with which we, the suburban communities, are confronted. The property taxation system in Minnesota has been established by the State Legislature. During the past two legislative sessions the Legislature has conscientiously taken actions which shift greater property tax burdens on homes of higher value. These homes are predominately located in the Twin Cities suburban community. As a practical matter, property tax bills in the western suburban communities are four or five times higher than those of most outstate homeowners who receive similar levels of service. Your letter suggests that people who live in Maple Grove pay a third less taxes than we do here in Plymouth. I asked the City Assessor's office to check into that to determine whether or not that was, in fact, the case. For comparative purposes we have used your property. I am informed that you have a mid -year homestead only which, for taxes payable in 1989, means that you receive only half the normal homestead amount. The taxes payable on your property for 1989 are $4,005.73. If your same property were located in Maple Grove, and within the Wayzata School District, those taxes would be $4,164.35. However, because a large proportion of Maple Grove is located in the Osseo School District, it is likely your home would be located there. If that were the case, your 1989 property taxes in Maple Grove within the Osseo School District would $4,311.08. You can see, in either case, the property taxes in Maple Grove are higher. You also raised questions about the magnitude of our utility bills as compared to those in Maple Grove. Your most recent utility bill from Plymouth totals $19.70, including $1.56 for street lighting. The same amount of service in Maple Grove, based upon their billing structure, would yield a bill of $20.43. 3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD, PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447, TELEPHONE (612) 559-2800 Mr. William Benson May 3, 1989 Page 2 I recognize that different cities structure their utility charges in different fashions. The bottom line, of course, is that revenues must be generated from the users to cover the operating expenses if the systems are to remain solvent. In Plymouth the sanitary sewer and water utilities are both operated separate from our other governmental functions and do not receive, nor require any public property tax support. I hope the foregoing will provide you with a better understanding of the comparability of property taxes and utility rates implementation compared to Maple Grove. If you have any additional questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Yours truly, mes G. Willis Ci y Manager JW:kec cc: Mayor & City Council Dale Hahn, Finance Director CITY COUNCIL INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM - ADDENDUM May 5, 1989 FOR YOUR INFORMATION .... 1. HOLIDAY LAWSUIT -- The City lost! Attached is the Judge's Order which relieves Holiday from any restrictions with respect to its operating hours. The Judge's Order is quite clear and the City Attorney and I do not believe there is any basis upon which a successful appeal to the order could be undertaken. (I-1) 2. SUPERCYCLE -- SuperCycle has indicated that they will be terminating collections in Plymouth at the end of the month. According to their Vice President, Tom Glander, they have been confronted with an untenable situation over which they have little control. As a result of this situation, they plan to terminate their business and liquidate their equipment. They have indicated to us the desire to try to work with us in order that they can continue to provide service for an additional sixty days. The basic problem appears to revolve around the waste paper issue. There is not a stable market for the product and therefore, no stable revenue stream. Recently they have also been confronted with having to pay disposal costs for paper, running up to $50,000 per month. Tom Glander indicated that they had sought to sensitize Hennepin County officials to this problem, but are perceived by the County as trying to raise their fees. SuperCycle has already entered into discussions with Ramsey County for the sale of most, if not all of their equipment. Ramsey County is interested in acquiring the equipment in order that it may be used by the County and/or the municipalities within Ramsey County to continue their curbside recycling collections. Ramsey County is not, however, interested in extending the use of that equipment to Hennepin County. Dick Pouliot attended a meeting today, attended by officials of Hennepin and Ramsey County, as well as numerous other cities. The purpose of this meeting was to discuss the status of the SuperCycle matter. At that meeting it was confirmed that Ramsey County was considering the purchase of the equipment from SuperCycle. Ramsey officials wanted to know whether or not Hennepin County officials or cities in Hennepin County were interested in purchasing these assets with them. We indicated that were not interested. CITY COUNCIL INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM - ADDENDUM May 5, 1989 Page 2 Hennepin County has called a meeting of its Solid Waste Task Force for Monday morning. Dick Pouliot will be attending that meeting and I expect to have more information available to share with you Monday afternoon. 3. NEW CITY ENGINEER -- Dan Faulkner has accepted the position of City Engineer. He will begin his duties on June 6, 1989, after ending his current employment as City Engineer with the City of Lenexa, Kansas. Lenexa, with a population of 32,000, is within the Kansas City metropolitan area. Previous to his employment with Lenexa, Dan worked for the City of Kansas City, Missouri, for five years as Transportation Engineer, and then for three years as Plans Review Engineer. Dan's prior municipal experience provides him with an excellent background in public works and city engineering. 4. PARK MAINTENANCE SUPERVISOR -- Dan Heitke has been appointed to the new position of Park Maintenance Supervisor. This position was approved by the Council in the 1989 budget. Dan has been with Plymouth for nine years, serving first as Park Maintenance Person for five years, and most recently, as Park Maintenance Leadperson. Dan's appointment was effective May 1, 1989. 5.

Plaintiffs, v, City of Plymouth, Defendant. OTHER CIVIL DISTRICT COURT FOURTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT Court File No. 88-10088 ORDER The above -entitled matter came before the undersigned on February 3, 1989, pursuant to the motion of plaintiffs for partial summary judgment. Steven K. Champlin, Esq., appeared on behalf of the plaintiffs; James J. Thomson, Jr., Esq., appeared on behalf of the defendant. Based on all the files, records, and proceedings herein, and the Court being fully advised, IT IS ORDERED, 1. Plaintiffs' motion for partial summary judgment is granted. 2. The Court finds that the defendant's attempt to restrict the operating hours of the Plymouth Holiday Plus Store owned by plaintiffs is invalid and beyond the power of the defendant because defendant has not imposed the restriction by uniform ordinance, the restriction is inconsistent with Zs defendant's own zoning ordinance, the resolution imposing the restriction fails to set forth a principled basis of review for the Court to determine if defendant is applying its standards in a lawful,l.y uniform and fair manner, and defendant's refusal to lift the operating hours restriction on the Plymouth Holiday Plus Store is arbitrary and capricious. 3. Plaintiffs are not bound by the operating hours restriction contained in Resolution No. 83-354 adopted July 11, 1983 in connection with the approval of the site plan for Plaintiffs' Holiday Plus Store in Plymouth, Minnesota. 4. Plaintiffs have alleged constitutional violations of their right to equal protection and entitlement to attorneys' fees and costs herein. Those claims are not determined by this order. Dated: 1989 LET JUDGEMENT BE ENTERED ACCORDINGLY. Judge Rb ert G. Sc ie e e n - 2 - MEMORANDUM The parties have submitted a motion for partial summary Judgment pursuant to a stipulation which incorporates a number of documents. The court has made a detailed review of the stipulation, including each of the documents incorporated by reference. In addition, the Court has examined the memoranda of the parties and the supporting authority, including a number of out of state authorites cited on behalf of defendant. This court concludes that there is a sufficient basis upon which to make a determination of the merits of the motion and no additional factual inquiry is either appropriate or necessary. Since there are no genuine issues of material fact, summary judgment is appropriate. Holiday Acres No. 3 V. Midwest Federal savings & Loan Association of Minneapolis, 308 N.W.2d 471, 480 (Minn. 1981). This court is not going to make a detailed recitation of the stipulated facts. Clearly the city of Plymouth imposed a condition on plaintiff's store operating hours in conjunction with approval of the site plan. Admittedly, the property where the Holiday store was constructed was zoned H-2, and the operation of the store and the merchandise offered for sale was a permitted use. The zoning ordinance dial not limit the hours of operation of a permitted use in a B-2 zone. In Minnesota, however, a municipality has no inherent power to enact zoning regulations. A municipality receives power to zone only by legislative grant of authority by the state. Minn.stat. sec. 462.357 (1980); Denney v. city of Duluth, 295 Minn. 22, 26, 20N.W.20 892, 894 (1972). In exercising such a delegation of power, a municipality cannot Z \• exceed the limitations imposed by the enabling legislation, Reilly Tar & Chemical Corp. v. City of St. Louis Park, 265 M nn. 295, 300, 121 N.W.2d 3§31 396"(1963). ',Costley v. Caromin House, Inc., 313 N.W.2d 21, 27 (Minn. 1981). Finally, a zoning ordinance is in derogation of the common law and should be construed strictly against the city and in favor of the property owner, Frank's Nursery Sales Inc. v. City of Rosevil e, 295 N -W-20 at 608. 3 R. Anderson; American Law of Zoning, sec. 16.02 at p.4 (2rAe To be effective any restriction on land use must be clearly expressed. Chanhassen Estates Res. v. City of Chanhassen, 342 N.W.2d 335, 340 (Minn. 1984). The Court further observed: Authorization of a given use by special or conditional use permit reserves to the city the discretion to consider the proposed use in the light of the general welfare and the city's planning goals. Nevertheless, denial of a conditional use must be based on something more concrete than neighborhood opposition and expressions of concern for public safety and welfare. (citations omitted). on the other hand, when a city designates a specific use as permissible in a particular zone or district, the city has exercised its discretion and determined that the permitted use is consistent with the public health, safety, and general welfare and consonant with the goals of its comprehensive plan. Chanhassen, 342 N.W.2d at 340. The cases cited by defendant are distinguishable on the basis that they involve situations of a special or conditional use and the ordinance reserved to the municipality the discretion to consider the proposed use in the light of certain specific and 2 defined criteria. Other cases are distinguishable on the basis that the particular state has adopted or enacted a different scheme for the regulation of land use and the delegation of authority to governmental subdivisions. This Court specifically rejects the claim that the act of setting conditions is separate and distinct from the determination as to whether or not a permit should be granted or denied. Defendant contends that although it was obliged to approve plaintiff's petition, in view of the applicable zoning on the property, it may attach conditions which are not specified in the ordinance or related to the site plan. This is not the law of Minnesota. It is readily apparent that a municipality could nullify any applicable zoning by attaching onerous conditions. No right to attach conditions is reserved nor are any criteria specified in the ordinance to be used as a basis for the imposition of conditions. The use contemplated at the time of the application and the use to which the property has been put over the years was a permitted use under the applicable ordinance. The ordinance failed to provide for the limitation of hours of operation. The City's reference to the variety of goods offered for sale by plaintiff at its facility is neither relevant nor material to the court's determination inasmuch as the full array of products sold are a permitted use under the ordinance. The City seeks to rely upon the approval of the site plan as 3 a basis upon which to attach a condition regarding hours of operation. First, there is no evidence that the hours of operation were related to considerations of noise, light or traffic. Even on hindsight the City has failed to demonstrate that the property has been operated so as to contravene any ordinance with respect to light or noise. similarly, there is no showing with respect to either noise or light that the hours of operation would have any effect. The only facts relative to conditions of noise and light on the premises were furnished by experts retained by the plaintiff, which have not been controverted by any competent evidence or facts on the part of the defendant municipality. In addition, the parties concede that the improvement of roadways in the vicinity of the property have and will make a substantial contribution toward additional light and noise, which would obscure any additional light or noise that might be generated by 24-hour a day operation. Perhaps most significantly the limitation is unrelated to the site plan. It appears to the Court that the most succinct statement of the law applicable to site plans is contained in the letter dated November 5, 1987, by the attorney on behalf of the City of Plymouth: Section 8, Subd. G, 2 of the Plymouth Zoning ordinance sets forth various performance standards relating to the physical characteristics of the site itself. Any condition imposed by the city on the site plan must be reasonably related to the standards set forth in the section. For example, the City may impose restrictions on V the type of lighting to comply with the performance standards set forth for glare in the Zoning Ordinance. To impose a restriction on the hours of operation, the restriction must reasonably relate to some aspect of the site itself rather than the use of the property.... The fact of the matter is, the condition imposed is unrelated to any characteristic of the property and is an attempt by the City to impose a restriction on use of the property not contained in the ordinance. Recently, in Chase v. City of Minneapolis, 401 N.W.2d 408 (Minn. App. 1987), the Court of Appeals reviewed the law applicable to applications for permitted or conditional use requests. The Court in Chase cited with approval a quotation from Chanhassen Estates, supra: Review of an application for a permitted use need go only to the applicant's compliance with the specific "requirements, regulations and performance standards" prescribed by the ordinance. subject to such compliance, approval of a permitted use follows as a matter of right. A conditional or special use permit may be denied for reasons relating to public health, safety and general welfare. Nevertheless, denial of a conditional use must be based on something more concrete than neighborhood opposition and expressions of concern for public safety and welfare. Chase, 401 N.W.2d at 412. A review of all the submitted material, including the reports of the lighting and sound experts, the evaluation of the request by the City Attorney's staff, the minutes of the City Council and Planning Commission, fails to disclose a concrete 5 tactual basis for the limitation in hours of operation other than to appease neighborhood opposition. Chase, supra, further observed: The standard of review in all zoning matters is whether a municipality's action was reasonable and not arbitrary or capricious in the light of the applicable zoning ordinances. Horbal v. CjtX of Ham Lake, 393 N.W.2d 5, 7(Minn. App. 1986). When a municipality states reasons for denying a building permit, a reviewing court may reverse the decision if the reasons are legally insufficient or if the decision is without factual basis. Amoco Oil Company v. City of Minneapolis, 355 N.W.2d 115, 117 (Minn. App. 1986). Similarly, Whan a subdivision oi:diiihl«t� 0jPt:V1LiWV standards to which a proposed plat must conform, it is arbitrary as a matter of law to deny approval of a plat which complies in all respects with the subdivision ordinance. Odell v. city of Eagan, 348 H.W.2d 792, 796 (Minn. App. 1984). The appropriate standard of review in all zoning cases is "whether the zoning authority's action was reasonable." Honn v. City of coon Rapids, 313 N.W.2d 409 at 416-417 (Minn. 1981). Further, In Hann, the Supreme court held that a local zonTn—g authority must: At a minimum, have the reasons for its decision recorded or reduced to writing and in more than just a conclusory fashion. By failing to do so, it runs the risk of not having its decision sustained. City of Barnum v. County of Carlton, 386 N.W.2d 770, 775 (Minn. App. 1986). The City of Plymouth advances four reasons for the refusal 0 to delete the limitation on hours of operation: 1. The facility represents a retail operation which includes a range of merchandise much broader than that offered in grocery stores. The operation and the range of merchandise offered is a permitted use under the applicable zoning. z. The limited hours of operation were originally set to reduce the site impact, including noise and light, upon the residential neighborhood and the circumstances have not changed. There is no indication that the hours of operation were limited other than by plaintiff's application at the time. Admittedly, the operation complies with the requirements of the applicable ordinances, including noise and light. The impact of the development of County Road 9 has impacted upon both the noise and light. As plaintiff observed, any additional noise or lights is dwarfed by the additional light and noise generated by county Road 9. 3. Approving this request could set an undesirable precedent regarding other commercial uses where it has not been determined hours are needed to mitigate site impact. Again, it is undenied that other stores in Plymouth operating in a B-2 zone are in operation 24 hours. It would appear if any precedent has been established, it was already established before plaintiff's request for 24-hour operation. 4. The original approval under Resolution No. 83-354 approving the site plan in this action is consistent with the 7 November 5, 1987, opinion by the City Attorney. This is, at best, a bootstrap argument which has no legal significance. An analysis of the stipulated facts discloses that the decision is unreasonable, arbitrary, capricious and lacking in a factum. basis. Finally, defendant, on the basis of Crystal Green v. City of Crystal, 421 N.W.2d 393 (Minn. App. 1988) claims that plaintiff is precluded from requesting a change in the hours of operation. Crystal Green is distinguishable from this situation on a number of grounds. The developer in Crystal Green protested the taking prior to plat approval but acquiesced in order to obtain the benefit of approval. Here, Holiday's initial application limited the hours ultimately imposed as a condition. The so-called benefit conferred in this case was one to which the plaintiff was entitled as a matter of law. The zoning was appropriate, plaintiff complied with the applicable ordinances and the site plan. Under those circumstances it can hardly be Contended that there was any bargained -for relinquishment of plaintiff's claim to unlimited hours of operation. In addition, plaintiff asserts rights in keeping with other persons similar situated based upon ordinances and specifically articulated policy decisions by defendant. This is not a case where plaintiff seeks to "have his cake and eat it, too." It would appear to the Court that neither the doctrine of B waiver 1/ nor estoppel 2/ is applicable to this situation. in conclusion, to permit municipalities to exercise the unrestrained discretion proposed by defendant would lend dignity to government by whim and caprice. LET THIS MEMORANDUM BE MADE PART OF THE FOREGOING ORDER. R.G.S. 1. A waiver is ordinarily an intentional relinquishment or abandonment of a known right or privilege. waiver implies relinquishment of a legal position and is effected by the act of waiving or by insisting on some right, claim or privilege. To establish waiver of a known right, it must be proved that the party charged with waiver knew of the right and intended to relinquish it. 20A Dunnell Minnesota Digest, Waiver sec. 1.00 (3d Ed., 2nd series, 1981). 2.

CITY OF PLYMOUTH 3400 PLYMOUTH BLVD., PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447 TELEPHONE (612) 559-2800 MEMO DATE: May 4, 1989 = s . TO: James G. Willis, C'ty Manager FROM: Laurie Rauenhorst City Clerk, through Frank Boyles, Asst. City Manager SUBJECT BASKETBALL STRUCTURES IN THE RIGHT-OF-WAY On March 6, 1989 the City Council adopted a policy governing placement of basketball structures in the public right-of-way. The policy provides a permit system for owners with structures existing as of March 6. No further basketball structures may be erected after March 6. Through a City-wide inventory, 40 property owners were identified as having a basketball structure in the right-of-way. Each was mailed a letter describing the Council's concerns, a copy of the policy and an application form. As a result of the policy, an additional six basketball structures were identified. Of the total, 18 owners submitted an application form, 9 of which included all required information - $10 fee, certificate of insurance naming the City as additional insured for general liability coverage in the amount of $600,000, and a drawing showing the basketball structure location. Six applications are still pending receipt of an insurance certificate. The remaining three elected to drop their permit request. The policy provides that if a permit is not obtained, the basketball structure must be removed by the property owner by June 1, 1989. If this has not been accomplished, it will be necessary for the City to remove the structure at its expense. We have established the following schedule for removal of basketball structures: May 15 City Clerk writes to those owners who have not secured a basketball structure permit to advise that they must be removed within 14 days, or June 1. June 1 City crews begin removing and confiscating basketball structure. Ongoing City Clerk monitors permits issued, including sending renewal notices. If ownership changes or the permit lapses for any reason, the owner will be notified to remove the structure within 14 days. 5/4/89 Following is the current status of all known basketball structures in the City: Permits Issued 18205 3rd Avenue North (Boris) 5761 Oakview Lane (Darth) 1760 Ranier Lane (Wozniak) 11505 38th Avenue North (Wennerlind) 11305 39th Avenue North (Confeld) 5510 Rosewood Lane (Falk) 12400 48th Avenue North (Best) 1295 Sycamore Lane (Anderson) 18320 31st Avenue North (Boegel) Permits Pending 2945 Everest Lane (Minner) 10535 49th Avenue North (Berozoysky) 10310 27th Avenue North (Galovan) 12955 30th Avenue North (Curran) 3725 Evergreen Lane (Scheer) 4020 North Cottonwood Lane (Peterson) No Permits Issued - Structure to be Removed 10515 31st Avenue North (Heggen) 4775 Pineview Lane (Peterson) 14620 7th Avenue North (Kohn) 13030 12th Avenue North (Tapper) 19025 26th Avenue North (Seleen) 17100 28th Avenue North (Tiseth) 12105 29th Avenue North (Pouliot) 12110 29th Avenue North (Hickman) 14650 40th Place (Moen) 14640 40th Place (Thompson) 11430 41st Avenue North (Metro) 11440 41st Avenue (Dematthew) 11600 41st Avenue (Nathanson) 10815 53rd Avenue (Pheasant Trails Investors) 13035 56th Avenue (Dering) 3870 Balsam Lane (Dingles) 3880 Balsam Lane (Hymes) 3885 Balsam Lane (Brusuen) 405 Brockton Lane (Niederman) 14435 40th Avenue North (Anderson) 5225 Cottonwood Lane (Simmon) 2825 Holly Lane (Urcheck) 3035 Jewel Lane (Calverley) 4930 Magnolia Lane (Chose) 5910 Norwood Lane (Kelley) 5920 Norwood Lane (Reynolds Const.
