FOR YOUR INFORMATION....
1. PARKERS LAKE PARK - Recently, Councilmember Vasiliou encountered a
citizen who perceived that there were fewer picnic tables at Parkers
Lake Park this year, as compared to last. In checking this matter
out, I am informed that we have the same number of tables in the
park this year as last - 23 - however that occasionally people who
use the park move them around a bit. Eric tells me that he has
ordered an additional 10 tables to be fabricated to serve the public
needs at the park.

2. BASKETBALL STRUCTURES -- Attached is the final status of basketball
structures in the public right-of-way. Fourteen property owners
have received permits to retain their basketball structures in the
right-of-way. Thirty-two property owners did not receive a permit
and were notified to remove their structure or the City would remove
and confiscate the structure beginning dune 1. City crews have
begun removal of the structures and estimate removal of all
structures by dune 23.
The Council policy states that these permits must be renewed
annually, coincident with the property owner's insurance policy
expiration date. The permit becomes void and the basketball
structure must be removed if the insurance coverage or permit
lapses or if the property ownership changes. Property owners
erecting basketball structures in the right-of-way in violation of
this policy will be given fourteen days in which to remove the
structure. (I-2)
3. MEDICINE LAKE LINES PAYMENT - In November 1988 the City was invoiced
by the Minnesota Department of Transportation in the amount of
$484,399.55 for the Public Transportation Subsidy Program for
January 1, 1984 through December 31, 1985, and for $53,954.53 for
the Public Transportation Subsidy Program from duly 1, 1983 through
December 31, 1983. These invoices were generated by MnDOT largely
out of frustration from a perceived inability to obtain records
required to complete their audit of Medicine Lake Lines' Plymouth
Metrolink Service.
Since these invoices, two things have happened:
1) We have received monthly reimbursements from the Regional Transit
Board in the amount of $20,927.68, but have not released these
funds to Medicine Lake Lines.
2) Medicine Lake Lines has substantially improved its working
relationship with MnDOT.
Last week, at the request of Medicine Lake Lines officials, I
contacted the Audit Section of the Minnesota Department of Transpor-
tation to determine whether or not any of the funds which the had
heretofore been invoiced for, were not longer in question at this
stage of the audit process. I spoke to Mr. Ron Gipp, who is the
Audit Director for the Minnesota Department of Transportation.
While he stated that the invoices would remain outstanding until a
final audit certificate is issued (probably this fall), he felt
comfortable in saying that no more than $150,000 of the total
remains in question. He stated that he believed it would be safe
for the City to release amounts above this amount to Medicine Lake
Lines as payment for services rendered. In the absence of City
Council direction to the contrary, we will be releasing $50,927.68
to Medicine Lake Lines in order that they can continue to operate
the Plymouth Metrolink system. Medicine Lake Lines officials
June 9, 1989
Page 3
indicate to us that they are to the end of their credit limit and
require a partial payment from the City in order to continue the
operation of Plymouth Metrolink. Based upon Mr. Gipp's comments, I
believe the City is sufficiently protected by retaining $150,000
until the audit certificate is issued.
4. ANNUAL MEETING WITH WEST MEDICINE LAKE COMMUNITY CLUB AND
NEIGHBORHOOD REPRESENTATIVES - For some years now, Frank Boyles and
Dick Carlquist have annually met with representatives of the West
Medicine Lake Community Club and neighborhood to discuss issues of
mutual concern in hopes of minimizing conflict and subsequent police
calls. The nature of the meeting is normally confrontive and the
City is normally in a "lose - lose" position.
As the Council may be aware, one of the more active neighborhood
representatives has recently moved. A review of our police activity
logs in this area show six incidents in the vicinity of the
Community Club since our last meeting. They include:
1) One vehicle lockout.
2) One suspicious individual.
3) One public nuisance complaint.
4) One dog complaint.
5) Two thefts (the club was the victim).
The City has normally initiated the meeting with club and
neighborhood representatives this time of year. In light of the
above information, does the Council desire that we once again
initiate the meeting, or would it be preferable to wait to determine
whether club and neighborhood representatives contact us? Council
direction is requested.

Planning Commission Minutes

Page 124
Coordinator Dillerud responded that some City staff had
encouraged the PUD plan, that the City had more control over
the development as a PUD, and other similar projects
developed at Highway 18 and Highway 55 were done as PUDs.
Commissioner Zylla asked if the developer had been assessed
for trunk sanitary sewer extensions.
Director Moore said that the developer had not been assessed
but would be and is responsible for the utilities within the
development. He stated the utilities only go currently to
Test Medicine Lake Road.
Vice Chairman Stulberg introduced Mr. Bill McHale
representing the petitioner.
Mr. McHale stated that the developer would like to have the
Public Hearing extended to May 24, 1989 so that they would
have more time to respond to the Staff Report.
Mr. McHale responded to the question of why the developer
decided to develop the site as a PUD. He stated that this
was done because of some City staff encouragement. He said
than; the developer was asking for CN guiding because CN
guiding offered a variety of uses. Mr. McHale stated that
the guiding on the additional 10 acres could possibly be
from LA -3 to CS but that there was confusion because of the
Land Use Guide Plan changes being proposed.
Commissioner Pierce asked if there was a topographic map for
the area.
Coordinator Dillerud responded that there was no topographic
map.
Vice Chairman Stulberg opened the Public Hearing.
Vice Chairman Stulberg introduced Mr. Jay Sather of 1774
Magnolia Lane.
Mr. Sather stated that he thought the development by Ryan
Construction Company would increase the value of the land in
the area. He said he hoped an aesthetic barrier for the
area of Swan Lake and the Regional Park would be installed.
Coordinator Dillerud stated that there may be some features
of the site that could be preserved and serve as aesthetic
transition.
Vice Chairman Stulberg closed the Public Hearing.
MOTION by Commissioner Pierce, seconded by Commissioner MOTION TO CONTINUE THE
Tierney to continue the Public Hearing until May 24, 1989. PUBLIC HEARING UNTIL MAY
24, 1989

Commissioner Zylla stated that he did not agree with the
staff recommendation to deny the reguiding to CN of the 10
acre parcel. He said that if the developer felt he needed
the additional 10 acres he was in favor of this. He stated
that his biggest concern is the traffic on County Road 9.
Commissioner Tierney stated that she was not opposed to the
change in guiding for the additional 10 acre parcel if the
developer felt they needed the additional land. She said
that she has seen other sites developed by the developer,
and was impressed with the results.
Vice Chairman Stulberg said he agreed with what had been
said by the other Commissioners regarding the topography of
the land, the desire to preserve what natural site features
are still available, and reguiding the 10 acre parcel as
needed by the developer.
Vice Chairman Stulberg introduced the request of Independent INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT
School District # 284 for a Site Plan and Conditional Use #284 - GREENWOOD ELEMENTARY
Permit for an addition to the Greenwood Elementary School SCHOOL ADDITION (89019)
located at 3635 State Highway 101.
Coordinator Dillerud gave a summary of the Staff Report of
May 11, 1989.
Vice Chairman Stulberg introduce Mr. Stan Tikkanen
representing the petitioner.
Mr. Tikkanen told the Commission that the number of
classrooms would remain the same, and there would be no more
students in the area. He stated that this will be an
improvement to the Media Center, and an internal sprinkler
system will be installed. Mr. Tikkanen stated that he
thought the installation of a fire lane around the school
was unnecessary. He also stated that he would like the
financial guarantee waived.
Mr. Tikkanen stated that there should not be additional
sewer charges as stated in #3 of the Engineer's Memo because
there would be no additional students.
Assistant Engineer Sweeney stated there would be no
additional assessments. Mr. Tikkanen misunderstood the
Engineer's Memo.
Commissioner Zylla asked if there are plans to upgrade
Medina Road to the school driveway.
Assistant Engineer Sweeney stated that there are no current
plans to update Medina Road.
Commissioner Tierney questioned whether the sprinkler system
and the fire lane around the school were a duplication.

Planning Commission Minutes
May 17, 1989
Page 126
Coordinator Dillerud responded that both the sprinkler
system and the fire lane are standards of the City Code.
Commissioner Zylla stated that the Fire Code states the
following: 1) hydrants must be spaced at 300 feet, and, 2)
a fire lane is not required if the Director of Public Safety
agrees that an installed sprinkler system plus a fire lane
is excessive.
Vice Chairman Stulberg opened the Public Hearing.
Vice Chairman Stulberg introduced Ms. Patricia Jacobitz of
3520 Urbandale Lane.
Ms. Jacobitz stated that she is concerned about the location
of the fire lane and did not want it to interfere with the
bike path, or the subdivision which is close to the school.
She was also concerned that other vehicles would choose to
use the fire lane as a driveway.
Vice Chairman Stulberg introduced Mr. Bill Rova, an
architect for the school district.
Mr. Rova stated that the fire lane would be 40 feet from the
school building and will not be close to adjacent
development. He said the fire lane would be 15 feet wide
and not be used as a driveway.
Coordinator Dillerud stated that any existing schools that
apply for a Conditional Use Permit will be required to have
a fire lane and that a breakaway barrier could be installed
to keep traffic off the lane.
Vice Chairman Stulberg introduced Ms. Debra Kirchgessner of
3525 Urbandale Lane.
Ms. Kirchgessner asked if the breakaway barrier would be
between the playground and the street.
Mr. Rova stated that the breakaway barrier if constructed
could be between the playground and the street.
Vice Chairman Stulberg closed the Public Hearing.
MOTION by Commissioner Marofsky, seconded by Commissioner MOTION TO APPROVE
Zylla to recommend approval of the petition subject to the
conditions listed in the Staff Report dated May 11, 1989.
Roll Call Vote. 5 Ayes. MOTION carried. VOTE - MOTION CARRIED
Commissioner Marofsky stated that he wanted to recommend to
the City Council that they look at Condition #3 regarding
the fire lane and financial guarantee and recommended the
Council review the waiver of both items.

Commissioner Zylla recommended that a copy of Section
905.07 - 905.09 of the City Code be sent to the City Council
along with the Staff Report on the above item.
Vice Chairman Stulberg introduced the request of Independent
INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT
School District 284 for a Site Plan and Conditional Use
284 SUNSET HILLS SCHOOL
Permit for an addition to the Sunset Hills Elementary
ADDITION (89020)
School.
Vice Chairman Stulberg waived the reading of the May 11,
1989 Staff Report.
Vice Chairman Stulberg introduced Mr. Stan Tikkanen who
represented the petitioner.
Mr. Tikkanen stated that his concerns were the same on this
petition as they were for the previous petition regarding
the fire lane and financial guarantee. Mr. Tikkanen also
asked if it was necessary to provide a copy of the Owner's

Centre located at the southeast corner of Vicksburg Lane and
22nd Avenue North.
Vice Chairman Stulberg waived the reading of the May 12,
1989 Staff Report.
Vice Chairman Stulberg introduced Mr. Brian Carey
representing the petitioner.
Mr. Carey stated that he was in agreement with the Staff
Report but that the petitioner also wanted to have some
outdoor dining available which involved placing 3-4 umbrella
tables on the patio area.
Vice Chairman Stulberg asked if the Conditional Use Permit
could be issued in the name of Carbone's Italian Restaurant.

Coordinator Dillerud stated that the Conditional Use Permit
could be issued in the name of Carbone's Italian Restaurant.
Coordinator Dillerud stated that an Amended Site Plan needed
to be submitted by United Properties for the use of the
patio as outdoor dining.
Mr. Carey stated that he didn't realize that this was
needed.
Commissioner Marofsky asked if using the patio for outdoor
dining was extending the size of the shopping center and
does it change the parking requirements.
Vice Chairman Stulberg asked the Commission if they wanted
to review the petition further and bring it back to the
Commission in one week.
Mr. Carey asked if the Planning Commission could approve the
petition as is, and then United Properties could return to
the Commission with an amendment.
Coordinator Dillerud stated that Mr. Carey could come back
to the Planning Commission with an amendment at a later
date.
Mr. Carey requested that the Planning Commission continue
with the present petition.
Vice Chairman Stulberg opened the Public Hearing.
Vice Chairman Stulberg closed the Public Hearing as there
was no one to speak on the issue.
MOTION by Commissioner Marofsky, seconded by Vice Chairman MOTION TO APPROVE
Stulberg to recommend approval of the petition subject to
the conditions listed in the May 12, 1989 Staff Report and
the Conditional Use Permit be issued in the name of
Carbone's Italian Restaurant.
MOTION by Commissioner Marofsky, seconded by Commissioner MOTION TO AMEND
Pierce to Amend the Main Motion adding a condition stating
that there will be no outside delivery.
Commissioner Marofsky stated that he felt delivery goes
beyond the neighborhood and conflicts with the theory of a
neighborhood shopping center.
Mr. Carey stated that delivery service will make Carbone's a
viable business and he stated he felt it does serve the
neighborhood .
Commissioner Marofsky stated that the Conditional Use Permit
was not drafted to include home delivery conditions required

including parking area, number of cars for delivery, rules
for drivers, etc. Commissioner Marofsky stated that
Carbone's would have to petition for a Conditional Use
Permit to cover the home delivery item.
Vice Chairman Stulberg stated that the Commission would like
to have more information on this petition including the home
delivery and the outside dining issues. He suggested that
the Commission may want to defer this item until the May 24,
1989 meeting.
MOTION by Commissioner Marofsky, seconded by Commissioner MOTION TO DEFER
Tierney to defer the petition for one week.
Roll Call Vote. 5 Ayes. MOTION carried.
Commissioner Marofsky requested that additional information
on the Carbone's petition be provided to the Planning
Commission on the outdoor dining, extension of the shopping
center, home delivery, operating procedures, area and hours
of operations, rules and regulations, and volume expected
for home delivery versus in-house service.
Coordinator Dillerud told the Commission that the issue of
the outdoor dining may take longer than one week, but the
delivery issue could be done in one week.
Vice Chairman Stulberg introduced the request of Select
Metals Inc. for a Site Plan and Variance located at 14920
27th Avenue North.
Vice Chairman Stulberg waived the reading of the May 11,
1989 Staff Report.
Commissioner Marofsky stated that he was concerned with the
limitations for future use of this building and the ability
of the City to enforce the "proof of parking" limitation.
Coordinator Dillerud stated that the "proof of parking"
issue had been enforced several times previously and is
enforceable. He said that the City Attorney was consulted
on this matter.
Commissioner Zylla stated that the Site Plan showed no
curbing along the east side of the development.
Coordinator Dillerud said that other edging is present, but
the Commission can request curbing if they desire.

Chairman Anderson introduced the Board members and
reviewed the Variance Criteria contained in the

The request submitted by Roger Speikers was
ROGER SPEIKERS,
introduced for a Variance from the minimum front
15820 9TH AVENUE
yard setback for property located at 15820 9th

variance from the minimum front yard setback for
MAGNOLIA LANE (05 -2 -
property located at 2435 Magnolia Lane.

Mr. Krout reviewed his request noting the expansion
to the garage would be further away from the street
than the existing garage.

Commissioner Tierney inquired if the whole structure was
being moved further away from 25th Avenue North.
Mr. Krout responded negatively and pointed out he was only
adding a second stall onto the south side of the existing
garage.
Chairman Anderson inquired as to the widening of the
driveway.
Mr. Krout stated that he would not need to change the
majority of the driveway, but if he did, it would only be a
small portion, close to the garage, in order to get a
vehicle in.
Chairman Anderson inquired as to whether or not there would
be a problem with the impervious surface coverage on this
lot since there is an old driveway which leads up to the
house from Magnolia Lane.
Planner Cottingham responded negatively since this lot was
not within the Shoreland Management District and therefore
the City did not regulate impervious surface coverage.
Chairman Anderson inquired as to what would happen to an
existing tree located southwest of the existing garage.
Mr. Krout stated that he hoped he would be able to leave the
tree in, and not disturb it during the construction season.
MOTION was made by Commissioner Patterson, seconded by MOTION TO APPROVE
Commissioner Hoff to approve the request for a Variance from
the minimum front yard setback for a property located at
2435 Magnolia Lane for the reasons stated in the draft
Resolution.
VOTE. 7 Ayes. Motion Carried. VOTE. MOTION APPROVED.
The request submitted by Roger Speikers for a variance from ROGER SPEIKERS, 15820
the minimum front yard setback for property located at 15820 9TH AVENUE NORTH
9th Avenue North was reintroduced.
Mr. Speikers reviewed the request noting his needs for a
third car garage stall in order to store his boat in.
Commissioner Bigelow noted concern with the size of the
addition and inquired as to why it needed to be so large.
Board of Zoning Adjustment and Appeals
May 9, 1989
Page 3
Mr. Speikers stated that he could reduce the width of the
proposed addition since he could come out the front side of
the existing garage.
He then submitted revised drawings showing a reduced width.
Chairman Anderson stated the revised drawings show an 11'
wide garage, and then an addition onto the front of the
existing garage rather, than extending to the rear.
Mr. Speikers stated that he wished to amend his request to
allow the 11' wide addition rather than the 15' wide
addition as initially proposed. He would then have a 35'
setback from Vicksburg Lane.
Commissioner Naftzger inquired as to why the 50' setback
from Vicksburg Lane versus a typical 35' setback.
Planner Cottingham explained the Thoroughfare Guide Plan
classifications for the City's roads and explained that
Vicksburg Lane was classified as a minor arterial and thus a
greater setback is required.
Commissioner Naftzger expressed concern with the uniqueness
of this lot versus other lots along Vicksburg Lane and the
precedent that may be set with the requested addition.
Mr. Speikers pointed out that most of the lots along
Vicksburg Lane were larger than his and that is what makes
his unique.
Commissioner Tierney inquired if the existing structure is
in compliance with the current Ordinance setbacks.
Planner Cottingham responded negatively and pointed out the
existing structure encroached four feet into the required
50' setback.
Mr. Speikers stated he could see where the increased
setbacks would be wanted if this were a living area,
however, he was proposing a garage addition being closer to
Vicksburg Lane and thus this would help put a noise buffer
to the living area of his home.
The Board discussed alternatives that the Speikers had, such
as a detached structure to the rear, or the possibility of
maintaining the same setback as the existing structure and
coming out either the front or the rear side of the home.

Chairman Anderson stated his concerns was seeing how this
request met the Variance Criteria.
Commissioner Naftzger felt the petitioner had alternatives
which would not require a variance or encroach any further
than the existing structure.
Mr. Speiker inquired as to maintaining the same setback as
the existing garage.
Commissioner Naftzger pointed out this would still need a
variance since the existing garage encroached into the 50'
setback.
Commissioner Hoff inquired if the setback prior to 1972 and
the adoption of the Thoroughfare Guide Plan was 35'.
Planner Cottingham stated that without checking previous
ordinances he was not sure.
Commissioner Patterson stated that if the setback were 35'
prior to 1972 that she felt that was reason enough to allow
for the encroachment into the 50' setback as required by
today's ordinance.
Commissioner Naftzger responded negatively and that he felt
this would allow for him to maintain the existing
encroachment not extend any further than that.
The Board reviewed the different options in which they had
regarding this matter and the merits in granting the
variance.
MOTION was made by Commissioner Naftzger, seconded by
Commissioner Porzio to deny the variance from the minimum
front yard setback for property located at 15820 9th Avenue
North for the reasons stated in the draft Resolution.
VOTE. 7 Ayes. MOTION carried.
Chairman Anderson reviewed the right to appeal the Board's
decision to the City Council.
Mr. Speikers inquired if the Board would be willing to look
at other options at the end of the meeting such as allowing
him to redesign.

MOTION was made by Commissioner Bigelow, seconded by
Commissioner Patterson to table further discussion on this
matter until the end of the meeting.
VOTE. 7 Ayes. MOTION carried.
The request submitted by Robert Goodrie for a Variance from
the minimum front yard and side yard setbacks and the
maximum lot coverage requirements for a property located at
10218 South Shore Drive was introduced.
Mr. Goodrie reviewed his request, noting the side yard
encroachment was a matter of inches, and the lot is so small
it is difficult to put a two car garage on the lot without
exceeding the lot coverage requirements. He further noted
he needed this size garage in order to house his vehicles
and storage area, since there was no basement to the
existing home.
Chairman Anderson inquired as to the widening of South Shore
Drive in the future.
Planner Cottingham stated it is not anticipated under the
current Capital Improvements Program.
Commissioner Naftzger inquired if staff's concern with the
safety of vehicles would be eliminated if the garage was
moved back.
Planner Cottingham noted that they still had some concerns,
however, they could support the same setback as the
existing garage.
Commissioner Bigelow inquired if Mr. Goodrie physically
owned into the middle of South Shore Drive.
Planner Cottingham explained that with the platting of a
registered land survey such as this, you could not actually
plat the right-of-way for a road as dedicated right-of-way
as in other subdivisions and therefore roadways are platted
as a separate tract and then deeded to the City.
Commissioner Bigelow inquired as to concerns from the
Department of Natural Resources.
Planner Cottingham pointed out the letter that was before
the Commission, and that the Department of Natural Resources
MOTION TO TABLE

had no concerns with the requested variance since it did not
encroach into the Shoreland setbacks, and the impervious
surface was less than 30%.
Commissioner Naftzger inquired if the structure was reduced
to 20 feet from front to back, what variances would be
needed.
Planner Cottingham noted, with this size reduction, only the
front yard encroachment would be involved and this would not
encroach any further than the existing structure.
Commissioner Naftzger noted he could support a 20'x24'
garage, so that it would not encroach any further into the
front yard setback than what currently exists, but he could
not support the current proposal.
Chairman Anderson inquired as to the distance between the
house and the proposed garage.
Mr. Goodrie responded 8'.
Chairman Anderson inquired if the entry way to the home was
less than that 8'.
Mr. Goodrie responded affirmatively and that there would be
approximately three feet between the garage and the entry
way and they would be relocating the doorway to the side
rather than how it currently comes out the front.
Chairman Anderson noted his concern with this request
meeting the variance criteria, and the petitioner should
look at reducing the size.
Mr. Goodrie stated he could not live with a 20' deep garage,
and would need at least a 22' depth in order to park his
vehicles.
Mr. Goodrie further pointed out regardless of what he does
to reduce the size, he would still need a variance due to
the size of the lot, and the fact he does not have other
options in order to locate the garage.
Commissioner Naftzger inquired as to building a wider garage
and not quite as deep.
=-:Sb
Board of Zoning Adjustment and Appeals
May 9, 1989
Page 7
Mr. Goodrie pointed out this would cover a bedroom window
and make it very difficult to enter the home.
Commissioner Naftzger agreed this is a substandard lot and
warrants a variance, however, he did not feel it should
encroach any further into the front yard setback. The
petitioner would need some variances for a reasonable use of
the land, and that if the same setback is maintained, it
would not set a precedent for the area.
The Board discussed other possibilities as to reducing the
size of the garage with less encroachment into the front
yard than what is currently proposed.
Commissioner Bigelow noted she could live with a 22' deep
garage due to the angle of the road, and that only a small
portion of the structure would be encroaching further into
the setback than the existing garage.
MOTION was made by Commissioner Naftzger seconded by
Commissioner Porzio to deny the request for a Variance from
the minimum front and side yard setbacks and lot coverage
for a property located at 10218 South Shore Drive for the
reasons stated in the draft resolution.
VOTE. 7 Ayes. MOTION carried. VOTE MOTION CARRIED
Chairman Anderson reviewed the right to appeal procedure to
the City Council.
Mr. Goodri e stated he believed he could live with a 22' x
24' garage with the '22' being front to back, and would like
to amend his request, and thus would only have a variance
for the front yard setback. This would then have an 8 foot
front yard setback and a 6 foot side yard setback.
The Board discussed this reduction in size and the concerns
whether or not a precedent would be set for this issued.
MOTION was made by Commissioner Patterson, seconded by MOTION TO APPROVE
Commissioner Hoff to approve the amended request for a
variance from the minimum front yard setback to allow a 27
foot encroachment for a property located at 10218 South
Shore Drive for the reasons stated in the draft resolution.

Commissioner Naftzger stated out it seemed to be the
consensus of the Board that they could live with the same
setback as the existing garage, but nothing that encroached
into the front yard any further. He inquired if Mr. Goodrie
could live with a 20 ft deep garage, or expand the garage
closer to the house, or possibly even attach the garage to
the house, rather than expanding towards the street.
Mr. Goodrie stated that he could live with this, but would
like to look at the possibility of expanding the garage
closer to the home, but he would need some time to think
about this,
The Board discussed the possibility of tabling the action
for two weeks, and holding a special meeting on May 23, 1989
to review other possible changes Mr. Goodrie would come up
with. They determined they would need to have a motion on
the floor prior to tabling the action in order to be
procedural correct.
MOTION was made by Commissioner Naftzger, seconded by MOTION TO APPROVE
Commissioner Hoff to approve the request for a variance from
the minimum front yard setback to allow a 20' x 24' garage
for a property located at 10218 South Shore Drive for the
reasons stated in the draft resolution.
MOTION was made by Commissioner Naftzger, seconded by MOTION TO TABLE
Commissioner Hoff to table this action for two weeks and
hold a special meeting on Tuesday, May 23, 1989 in order to
allow the petitioner to review his options.
VOTE. 7 Ayes. MOTION Carried. MOTION CARRIED
The Board continued discussion with Mr. Speikers and his
possible encroachments into the front yard.
Commissioner Naftzger pointed out to Mr. Speikers that it
appeared to be the consensus of the board that they could
live with the existing encroachment of 4' into the front
yard, but nothing greater than that. They discussed the
issue of tabling this item like they did the previous item
to allow Mr. Speikers two weeks to look at other options
that may be agreeable to him which would maintain the same
setback from Vicksburg Lane rather than any further
encroachment.
Mr. Speikers noted his agreement to this and thanked the
Board for allowing him this additional time.
MOTION was made by Commissioner Naftzger, seconded by MOTION TO APPROVE
Commissioner Hoff to approve the request for a variance from
Board of Zoning Adjustment and Appeals

The request submitted by Roger Goodrie for a
Variance from the minimum front yard setback for
property located at 10218 South Shore Drive was
reintroduced.
Mr. Goodrie noted the survey before the Board shows
he is proposing to attach the garage to the front of
the home, and maintain the same setback from the
street as the existing garage.
Chairman Anderson inquired as to building code
issues for attaching the garage.
Building Official Ryan noted windows on this portion
of the home would need to be closed off; the entry
would need to be relocated to the west side of the
entry way; and the doorway would need to be a
minimum of 3 feet in width.
Chairman Anderson inquired as to what variances were
now being sought by the petitioner by the revised
request.
Planner Cottingham stated that there would be
variances from the side yard setback to allow a 7
foot setback versus 10 feet, and a front yard
setback of 10 feet versus 35 feet.

proposal now.
Planner Cottingham stated that it was approximately 21%.
Commissioner Tierney stated she agreed with the petitioners
revisions, and was glad to see that the encroachment into
the front yard was no greater than the existing garage.
Chairman Anderson inquired as to what the additional space
in the garage would be used for.
Mr. Goodrie that it was for storage of different materials,
since he does not have any storage room in his home.
Commissioner Porzio inquired as to the building code
concerns, and a firewall between the house and the garage.
Building Official Ryan stated that there would need to be
one along the south side of the house and this could be
done very easily.

Mr. Speikers showed plans as to his proposed expansion
nothing that he would be expanding to both the north and the
south of the existing garage, with a third car stall being
located behind the existing garage; and an overhead door
facing Vicksburg Lane; and a driveway access to the third
garage wrapping around the west side of the existing garage.
He noted that the expansions would be 18 feet to the front
of the garage and 14 feet to the rear of the garage.
He noted that a portion of the existing garage would be
turned into a shop area.

Commissioner Bigelow inquired if this shop area would
present a problem from the City prospective.
Building Official Ryan noted that this would be looked at as
an accessory use to the main use as a dwelling unit and
would not present a problem.
Commissioner Bigelow inquired as to the possibility of
future owners turning this area into living space.
Building Official Ryan noted they would need to meet the
building code if this were done by the current owner or any
future owner.
Commissioner Porzio inquired as to what the encroachments
were into the required setbacks.
Planner Cottingham noted the request would involve a 4'
variance to allow a 46' front yarn setback to Vicksburg Lane
versus the required 50'. He further noted this is the same
encroachment as the existing garage.

coordinate. Ideas for community involvement were brainstormed --
celebrating chemical health through non -instructional activities,
using Parkers Lake, planning casual family events, selling ten cent
hot dogs, etc. -- with enhanced p.r. work.
Jan Wentland, Wayzata Senior High PTSO chairperson indicated that this
first effort post -prom option for students was very successful. A
charter boat cruised Lake Minnetonka from 1-4 a.m. May 20 and
responses from the charter owner, chaperones, and students were very
positive.
Maria Vasiliou, Plymouth City Council representative, indicated that
there are private businesses eager to fund worthwhile community
projects, such as the post -prom party and WHS Parents Pledge project,
whom she would be in a position to contact.
On a personal note, Maria expressed concern at her inability to attend
Commission meetings due to business conflicts occurring on the first
Friday of the month. She would continue as liaison to the City of
Plymouth but would consider being replaced as a seated member.

Dear Ms. Witte:

CITY C�
PLYMOUTR
ME
Thank you for filling out a public service customer comment card on May 26th.
Your idea of providing City dog licenses through the mail is an idea that we have
discussed and have decided to implement in the City of Plymouth.
Beginning July 1st, 1989, dog licenses will be available to citizens of Plymouth
through the mail. This service will be available from February through December
of each year, with January excluded because dog licenses are provided free of
charge during the month of January, and the volume is too large to handle through
the mail.
Citizens wishing to purchase their dog licenses through the mail must include the
following:
1. Name of the owner.
2. Their address and phone number.
3. The breed of the dog.
4. Proof of vaccination within the past two years.
5. A check for $5.00.
6. Self-addressed stamped envelope.
This new procedure should benefit many citizens of Plymouth who are unable to
reach the Plymouth City Center during regular business hours.
Once again I would like to thank you for your comment and interest in making
Plymouth a better place to live.
Sincerely,
Steven Correll

RE: MEMBERSHIP ON AMM LEGISLATIVE POLICY
NOMINATIONS TO THE REGIONAL TRANSIT
1. REGIONAL TRANSIT BOARD (RTB) NOMINATIONS.

COMM i fi b
BOARD
Recent legislation reorganizing the Regional Transit Board
provides that of the new eleven member board, eight shall be
appointed by the Metropolitan Council one each from the
various council districts per the enclosed map. Of these
eight, at least two must be elected county officials and four
must be elected city or town officials. Various
organizations representing counties and cities, including the
AMM are required to provide the Metropolitan Council with at
least two nominations for each position.
This is a significant change from past philosophy. Recent AMM
policy called for elected official direct participation on
the Regional Transit Board. Legislators, including the
principal authors, were concerned about the dedication and
commitment of time by elected officials and only after several
strong assurances by AMM staff did they in fact establisn an
RTB with a majority of elected officials.
The new RTB in addition to its previous tasks and duties, has
regional planning and approval authority over LRT. Its
responsibilities will include coordination of all transit,
approval of LRT Grants, study and provision of increased
suburban transit opportunity and overseeing a new LRT planning
advisory group.
A position on this new board will be challenging and will
require a commitment on the part of those serving to be active
participants. RTB members receive $50 per meeting not to
exceed $50 per day and parking and travel expenses. The
current board meets twice a month late Monday afternoon with
subcommittee meetings following. However, meeting day, time
and frequency will be at the discretion of the new board. The
AMM board must make nominations to the Metropolitan Council
by the last week of June.

559-2800 ext. 369
911 SYSTEM WORKING AS IT SHOULD IN PLYMOUTH
Since television reports aired on WCCO TV about St. Paul's use of the 911
system, the Plymouth Fire Department has received calls frcin residents who
want to know if Plymouth follows the practices depicted in the reports. The
reports did not reflect the practices of Plymouth or any other municipalities
use of 911, according to Plymouth Fire Chief Lyle Robinson.
Plymouth, like all members of Hennepin County's 911 system, automatically
dispatches ambulances when a 911 call is received. It does not attempt to
screen calls, according Robinson.
"The recent ads used to promote the television reports in May implied
that there are serious problems with the 911 telephone system. The news media
did not make it specifically clear that it was not the system that was the
problem but rather one public safety provider that was not using the system as
it was intended," Robinson said.
"The practices used by the St. Paul Fire Department in dispatching and
responding was a local decision made by that city as to how these calls were
to be handled and dispatched. St. Paul is not typical of the 911 system as it
is used in the metropolitan area, including Plymouth," Robinson said.

TEMPORARY CITY OF PLYMOUTH EMPLOYEES
5/30/89
Welcome to the City of Plymouth. We are confident that your temporary
employment here will be both productive and safe. Below are some basic
rules and safety requirements that will apply to you during your term of
employment. Equipment operation training and maintenance will be provided
through your immediate supervisor.
I. EMPLOYEE RESPONSIBILITIES - The City has developed a safety program to
prevent job related personal injury and illness and vehicular accidents.
Each employee is responsible for complying with the attached "Plymouth
Safety Program Functional Responsibilities." Failure to do so could
result in disciplinary action including possible termination of employ-
ment. We expect you to take pride in your work and to demonstrate care
for yourself, fellow employees, the public and city equipment throughout
each work day. (See attachment 1)
II. WORK SCHEDULES - The normal work week is Monday through Friday,
7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. There is no guarantee of a 40 -hour work week.
There may be periods of inclement weather in which you may not report to
work or you may be sent home. You are expected to report for work on
time each day and complete the work day at the appointed time. Lunch is
to be taken at your assigned work site unless otherwise indicated.
Since the shift is a "straight eight", there is no designated lunch
period. Your supervisor may revise your work hours and work week as
necessary to complete work responsibilities.
III. CLOTHING - All employees will report to work in work boots, (not tennis
shoes), long pants and shirts or t -shirts. Have at your disposal suit-
able rainwear and rubber boots. The City does not provide these items.
There may be days that you will be required to work in the rain.
A. Poison Ivy/Oak - You may be exposed to these plants during daily
work operations. Advise your supervisor if you are highly allergic
to these substances. Suitable gloves, shirts and pants must be
worn. Attached is a graphic to help you identify these plants.
(Attachment 2)
IV. SAFETY EQUIPMENT - A safety equipment checklist is attached (see
attachment 3). You are responsible for using the proper safety items
while performing each task. If there is any question as to what item to

Rhus radicans
Poison ivy is a natuve woody perennial, reproducing by seed and underground rootstocks. It is
found growing in woodlands and meadows and along streams or low places, fence rows, roadsides
and wastelands. All parts of this plant contain a poisonous material.
The stems are from 8 to 18 inches high. The leaves are smooth, shiny or waxlike in appearance
and divided into 3 parts (leaflets). Each leaflet is from 1 to 4 inches long. The flowers are
small, green, 5 petaled and arranged in a clustered head about 1 to 3 inches long. The berries
are small, white, hard, round and arranged in clusters. The plant changes from a bright green
in summer time to a reddish-yellow in late summer and fall.

EWLOYEE RIGHT -TO -KNOW POLICY
TN GFNFRAI
9/88
The 1983 Legislature adopted the "Employee Right -to -Know Act," mandating
that employers take certain actions to train and inform employees who are
routinely exposed to "hazardous substances", or "harmful physical agents"
or infectious agents during work. This policy lists the statutory
requirements and City procedures for implementation of this law.
PROCFDURFS
1. Where possible, the City will substitute non -hazardous substances and
non -harmful physical agents in lieu of hazardous substances or harmful
physical agents for the accomplishment of City work objectives.
2. Where routine employee exposure to harmful physical agents or hazardous
substances cannot be avoided, the City will take the following steps:
A. Inventory hazardous substances and agents in work place.
1) The City will conduct an initial assessment of hazards in the
work place.
2) An ongoing review of newly introduced substances and agents will
be accomplished by requiring supervisors to report any purchases
of new hazardous substances to the Safety Coordinator prior to
acquisition.
B. Each supervisor will report to the Safety Coordinator all employees
under his or her supervision who have a reasonable potential for
exposure to harmful physical or infectious agents, or hazardous
substances during the course of their assigned work. This
Identification will occur initially for program implementation and
is an ongoing responsibility of the supervisor.
C. For each substance identified as a hazardous substance or harmful
physical or infectious agent, the City will maintain:
1) Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) as required by the law. This
Information will be kept at the Public Works Garage in the park
maintenance file section. A second copy will be filed with the
Safety Coordinator.
2) The MSDS forms will be periodically reviewed by the Superin-
tendent of Parks and the Safety Coordinator to ensure that they
are complete, accurate and
-84-
EMPLOYEE RIGHT -TO -KNOW POLICY 9/88 \ \
Page 2
up-to-date. This review includes periodic reinspection of the
work place to determine whether new hazardous materials or
harmful physical or infectious agents are present. together
with This includes requests from manufacturers to update the
MSDS sheets as -r�� in determining if the MSDS sheets contain
all appropriate information.
3) The Superintendent of Parks shall be advised by appropriate
supervisors of hazardous materials which are maintained in
process containers, different from those originally used to
convey the substance to the City by the manufacturer. The
Superintendent of Parks will be responsible for ensuring that
the process containers are appropriately labeled. In the event
a harmful physical agent is present, the area will be appro-
priately posted in order that employees are aware of the poten-
tial hazard.
4) Any hazardous substances transferred to immediate use containers
during the work shift should be either returned to the original
containers or disposed of properly before the employee finishes
their work shift.
D. Availability of hazardous substance information shall be as follows:
1) Each employee may obtain copies of the MSDS sheets maintained at
the Public Works Garage in the park maintenance files during
normal business hours. A request should be made in person to
the Public Works Clerk/Typist for a copy of the MSDS sheet. The
MSDS sheets may not be removed from the files except for
duplication purposes. If information is missing on the MSDS
sheet, or the employee requires assistance in understanding the
material, he or she should contact the Superintendent of Parks
for an explanation of the information.
2) The Safety Coordinator will maintain a listing of all hazardous
substances currently beinq used by the City.
E. Initial/pre-assignment and annual training program.
1) Initial/pre-assignment training shall be accomplished for
employees who are exposed to hazardous substances or harmful
physical agents for the first time while working for the City of
Plymouth. Such training shall be supplied by the Superintendent
of Parks and/or the Safety Coordinator prior to the employee's
exposure to such substances.
2) An annual training program will be established which includes an
explanation of how and where information about hazardous
materials is stored in the work place, how hazardous substances
and physical agents are labeled, and how specific data about
these materials can be obtained in writing. Normally, the
training sessions will generically cover hazardous materials
with specific concentration on those which are highly
dangerous. Employee training will also cover hazards of
infrequent tasks and hazards associated with hazardous
substances contained in unlabeled pipes in the workplace.
3) The City will retain a record of all training activities
associated with this program for a period of five years in the
offices of the Park Maintenance Division at the Public Works
Garage.
F. When working with contractors to the City:
1) The Superintendent of Parks shall provide any contractors
working at the City's workplace, access to copies of all MSDS
forms containing hazardous substances which the contractors'
exposed to.

SUBJECT: FIRE ALARM AUDIBILITY TESTING
Dear Ms. Miller:
Since your letter was sent on May 30, 1989 on Sagamore stationary, I received a
copy of a letter sent on Mav 31st, on the same stationary, from the Richard
Kelso, dealing with the same subject.
For your information, the Fire Department will be conducting additional tests at
4385 Trenton Lane at 1:30 P.M. on June 8th. This additional testing was in
response to concerns raised by Bill Sheets.
When we held our meeting with apartment and condominium representatives in April.
I indicated that we were going to take one appeal to the Council on the audibi-
lity fire alarm problem. One company that we had held an administrative hearing
with is the Gaughan Company. They are the owners of the Harbor Lane Apartments.
As I indicated in our meeting in April, we will take the Gaughan Company's appeal
to the City Council in the near future to provide us with the appropriate direc-
tion on subsequent appeals.
Once we get a "reading", from the City Council, we will know the appropriate
steps to take with the various apartment and condominiums in Plymouth that we
have found to be deficient in their fire alarm audibility tests. We will be in
touch with you when we have new direction on this issue.
This letter is being hand carried by a Community Service Officer because of the
tiaht time frame involved in the testing at Sagamore and the date of dictation.
Sincerely.

RE: Lot 5, Block 7, Kingsview Heights 2nd Addition
Dear Mr. Johnson:
I am in receipt of your letter dated May 11, 1989 concerning the data referenced on
the development grading plan for the above referenced property.
The grading plan in question was submitted to the city in conjunction with the
preliminary grading of the development to conceptually show both potential styles
and elevations of homes placed on properties which would blend in with the grading
of the development.
Upon submittal of a building permit application, our office would review the
certificate of survey provided against the grading plan. Variations and
modifications are acceptable as long as the proposal does not adversely impact or
affect drainage along the adjoining properties.
The construction of any proposed home on the site would need to conform to the
approved setbacks for the Kingsview Heights Development. The minimum required front
yard setback is 30 feet, however, as long as the required side and rear yard
setbacks are complied with, a home may be setback onto the property in excess of 30
feet.
A tree preservation policy was not required of the developer for this platted
subdivision. Although encouraged, the owner and or builder of Lot 5 would not be
required to conserve any of the trees located on the site.
I would like to thank you for bringing this matter to my attention. Your letter
will be retained in our files for review upon submittal of a building permit
application for the property involved.
Please contact me at 559-2800 should you have any further questions.
Sincerely,
Joe Rya , ilding Official

Mr. & Mrs. Michael Venaglia

Plymouth, MN 55441
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Venaglia:
Thank you for your letter sharing your concerns with respect to the proposed
community center. I will share your comments with the City Council.
With respect to your comment regarding the existing property taxes, let me
assure you that I share your concern! You may be interested to know that
the City's share of your property taxes amounts to about 15% of your total
tax bill. During the last four years, the property taxes in the Wayzata
School District portion of Plymouth have gone up nearly 20%. The School
District's portion has gone up by slightly more than 25%, with the City's up
8.3%. I am enclosing for your information a copy of a tabulation of
property taxes for two homes within the Wayzata School District which
illustrates the taxes which have actually been paid by these homes from 1986
through 1989.
The real culprit for suburban high property taxes is the State Legislature.
As you may know, the Legislature has adopted fiscal policies which are
continuing to shift state resources out of the metropolitan area. This has
been accomplished largely through changes in the school aid formulas, as
well as revisions to the homestead credit program. The net effect has been
to place a greater reliance on the property tax base to support local
government, particularly the schools, in the Twin Cities.
Thank you again for your letter.
Yours truly,

Subject: Proposed Community Center
M '
Dear Mr. Willis,
The purpose of this letter is to inform you of our displeasure (mine and my
wife's) that the City of Plymouth is continuing ahead with the proposed
community center despite the fact that it was voted down by your
constituents. This appalling lack of responsibility is unbelievable, to say
the least. In our opinion, this money would be much better spent on
beefing up our fire department, our police department and improving our
roads. As our taxes are already ridiculously high, how about lowering
property taxes or utility assessments? While using interim financing to
skirt your responsibilities may be legal, it is not right. Think about it.
Yours tr ly,

The City Council accepted the report of the Architectural Selection
Committee, but did direct that the City staff develop a funding mechanism
for the Community Center which would seek to avoid any tax subsidy for the
operations of the center. That direction is now is our goal.
Thank you for sharing the interest and concern on the part of Heritage

City of Plymouth

Plymouth, MN 55447
Dear Mayor Schneider:
We in Chelsea Mews Association need your help. A tarred bike trail
has been constructed in the Lundgren Bros. development called
Steeplechase. This bike trail begins at the turnaround of .their
Zanzibar Lane and ends at the edge of Chelsea Mews property on
North Zanzibar Lane. Between where the trail ends and the street
of Zanzibar there is a wooded hill. People from the Lundgren
development side have worn a path through the wooded area to gain
access to Zanzibar. The problem is that our homeowners on Zanzibar
are very concerned that they will run over the bikers using the
path. You can't see them until they are right in the street, and
they are going too fast down the hill to stop.
Chelsea Mews has never been consulted about the matter of the
location of the trail or even formally advised that the trail exists.
Chelsea Mews has no money reserved for completing such a trail.
Besides, our Zanzibar homeowners do not want it located where it
would be if it were simply extended. Considerable dollars would
have to be spent to make it safe (hill cut down, trees removed,
safety signs erected, etc.).
Could you please forward this letter to the appropriate persons and
ask that they contact me so we can figure out a course of action.
I don't even know if this is part of the City's trail system or not.
All I know is that this is a potentially dangerous situation that
requires some kind of corrective action. _
Thanks a lot for your help.
Sincerely,'_

DATE: June 5, 1989
TO: City Manager James G. Willis
FROM: Community Development Director Blair Tremere
SUBJECT: INQUIRY BY COUNCILMEMBER VASILIOU REGARDING 18405 31ST AVENUE NORTH
You requested a report on the status of this inquiry. Councilmember Vasiliou
called me in April and stated she had received a complaint from a neighbor of
the resident at this address. The complainant stated that there was noise
generated by a vehicle the occupant used to go to work early in the morning
and there was a portable ice fishing house located in the rear of this
property. Councilmember Vasiliou inquired whether the Ordinance and/or City
Code addressed these issues.
I investigated the complaint and, in a conversation with Councilmember
Vasiliou on April 24, report that the noise generated by a vehicle must be
observed by a law enforcement officer and the resident who had the complaint
should call 911. I indicated that I had asked Public Safety Director Dick
Carlquist to see if the area could be put under some observation early in the
morning.
I read Councilmember Vasi

the site and location of storage sheds and utility
cessory buildings, they are permitted in this Zoning
The ice fishing house is approximately 6 feet by 6 feet. The Ordinance allows
for a storage shed or utility building not exceeding 120 square feet in the
rear yard no closer to the property line than 6 feet or the width of an
established public easement whichever is greater. I told Councilmember
Vasiliou that I would check further as to the location of the ice fishing
house and as to whether the aggregate area of the building on this lot were
within Ordinance Standards.
James G. Willis
June 5, 1989
Page Two
I have since determined that the ice fishing house is properly located (it is
closer to the dwelling than one might normally find a utility building or
storage shed) and the area of the structures on this lot are within the
maximum lot coverage requirement for this Zoning District.
The Plymouth City Code and Zoning Ordinance do not govern recreation vehicles
or portable recreation buildings such as this. Arguably because they are not
specifically permitted, one might conclude that they are therefore not allowed
at all. This neighborhood, Amber Woods, and many others throughout the City
have numerous utility buildings, ice fishing houses, and recreation vehicles
in the rear yard, throughout much of the year.
When you asked me last week about the status of this inquiry I checked with
Public Safety Director Dick Carlquist and found that no complaints had been
received through the 911 Emergency Call System; and I have no record of any
calls in my department.
Therefore the generation of noise before 7:00 a.m. should be reported directly
to the police, and the ice fishing house is within the residential Zoning
Standards for storage sheds and utility buildings.

Dear Mr. Plufka:
I would like to meet with the Planning Commission in the near future regarding
the Plymouth Fire Prevention Code and its application in the development process.
My purpose is to share with Commission members the perspective of the Public
Safety Department as it pertains to fire life safety issues.
The reason that I request this meeting is because I am aware that one member of
your Commission, Dennis Zylla, has expressed dissatisfaction with fire code
requirements. Whether I can change Mr. Zylla's views is not as important to me
as clarifying to the rest of the Commission the underlying reasons for fire
lanes, hydrant locations, sprinkling, etc..
Either a dinner meeting or place on the Planning Commission Agenda would be fine.
Your choice. I will have available the Fire Chief and two Fire Prevention
Inspectors.
Thank you for your consideration.

SUBJECT: CITIZEN COMMENDATION
Dear Mr. Nesbv:
It has come to my attention that you were instrumental in the arrest of a drunken
driver who had caused hundreds of dollars in property damage.
On May 26, 1989, our officers received a call of a hit and run property damage in
the 1400 block of Sycamore Lane. The initial report indicated an extensive and
involved property damage accident to several yards as well as cable and Northwe-
stern Bell boxes.
I understand when you heard the car crashing through your backyard, you tried to
chase it on foot to obtain a general description. After you returned home, you
got into your own vehicle and drove around the neighborhood, subsequently
locating the car several blocks from your home.
After speaking with the driver, you apparently noticed he had slurred speech and
had more than likely been drinking. You then returned to your home and talked
with Officer Mike Buske, who was assigned to investigate this case. Together
with Officer Buske you identified the suspect and his vehicle at his home in
Plymouth.
Without your extended commitment and diligence in this matter, I am sure that a
crime would have gone unsolved. Thank you for getting involved.
People such as yourself make this community a better place to live in.
Sincerely,
C—

personnel shows that you have a true commitment and the highest level
of professionalism. This is especially reinforced considering the
fact that you were willing to participate in all eight of the

The icing on the cake is the fact that we have received a lot of
compliments and indications that many people derived significant
benefit from listening to your presentation and ideas.
Again, I extend my wholehearted thanks for a job well donel

RE: Noise disturbance
JUN 9 1989
Dear Mr. Tremere,
In relation to the noise allegedly originating from Herb's
Servicenter, I wish to let you know that we are as concerned as
you are to control the problem. Let me recap some of the steps
that already have been taken before the receipt of your letter
and some things that have been done after your letter.
Previous verbal talks with employees explaining the problem
and as per the enclosed letter written, posted and discussed on
May 31, 1989.
As per the two enclosed letters, the garbage hauler adjusted
thier collection times and are now aware of the noise problem.
At a great expense to me, I commissioned a noise study with
the architect and followed thru with the recommended sound accust-
ical treatment for the service bays and the car wash which was just
recently finished. Please see the enclosed letters and invoices.
Your comment regarding keeping the trash dumpsters in the
enclosures- puzzles me because I am on the premises, 6 and 7 days
a week, and have only observed one dumpster out of its enclosure
one time, and it was during a transition period from an old trash
hauler to the new hauler, Waste Management Company and that was a
long time ago. I will continue to monitor that.
With regard to the handicap stalls, they were legal and clearly
posted, but I was sympathatic to the problem. Reflective handicap
signs were ordered and installed recently and I had larger handicap
logos painted in the stalls. It would appear these items should
clear up that problem.Please see the enclosed sign and striping
invoices.
My next statement is not in the form of a defense, but rather
is an observation that I believe holds some merit for consideration.
The service station was built in the same basic location in 1933
and even though it is not very relevant was expanded in 1988. The
City of Plymouth councia_1_zoned the land and allowed m4t_ible
dwelling housing next to an existing service station knowing the

potential for noise problems and station rebuilding someday.
Also as we are all aware, the berming and screening plan approved
by the City of Plymouth for "Kimberly Meadows" is deficient. Keep
in mind that these statements in no way lessen my sensitivity to
the basic problems stated for the entire corner and the sensitivity
for people not living in the Kimberly Meadows Complex.
Also I am sure you can appreciate the fact that if Kimberly
Meadows had to stand on its 'own noise standards they would have
to answer to many loud T.V.'s, noisey people late at night, window
unit air conditioning units, etc. As a side note, enclosed y6u will
:find a estimate to repair the required fence I had to install
which the Kimberly Meadows residents partially destroyed.
We must all be sensitive to the fact that if we are all normal
beings, in the course of a day, week, or month, accidents are
going to happen, people are going to forget, and some objectional
noises are going to occur.
I note that in your letter, and those previously received
from Frank Boyles, you referred my conditional use permit and the
reviewal process. We both are aware that the granting of the permit
Is a political process. However determination about granting or
cancelling such permits by/cities are not necessarily final. I have
and will go the extra mile to be a good business citizen, as the
actions above described testify. I have worked closely with the
City of Plymouth to develop this property to its full potential
(1989 real estate taxes $21,819.59). I don't want to engage in
unprofitable actions to preserve my rights fa operate my business
within the reasonable limits of ordinances accordingly, I anticipate
that the city will accept my positive actions in addressing the
"unknown complaints" concerns.
I would assume this will become part of the file and please do
not hesitate to call me with any questions or concerns.
Sincerely

IMPORTANT NOTICE
May 31, 1989
To: All employees, at Herb's Servicenter
RE: Noises from station
Dear employees,
It has been brought to my attention that we must once again talk about
noises relating to the servicenter operation.
We have to be very sensitive to controlling any and all noises on the
entire corner at all times and especially after 10:00 F.M. and before 7:00
A.M. so as not to disturb any of the residences next door.
Some specific items I want done are putting the car wash doors in the
automatic mode so the car wash doors don't remain open after 10:00 P.M. and
before 7:00 A.M. (put them in the "winter" mode).
The repair bay doors facing the south should also not be left open after
10:00 P.M. or before 7:00 A.M. or if working on a noisey job.
When arriving at work and leaving work we must be careful to not make
any excessive personal or vehicle noises, nor congregate in the parking lot.
No matter what job we are doing arround the servicenter whether it is
emptying the trash, towing, driving vehicles, or whatever, lets all work
together to do things as quietly as possible.
Your cooperation is greatly appreciated and please don't hesitate to
talk to me if you have any questions or suggestions to help the problem.
Sincerely
David C. Johnson

Noise level of this newly constructed service garage was excessive both interior
and exterior. After your initial contact and problem description, we contacted
acoustical consultants for advice in resolving this situation. Through various
meetings, our analysis indicated a need for sound absorption within the spaces
which would curb both levels in question. Vinyl faced fiberglass panels were
positioned throughout the interiors of the garage and car rash bays and held in
place by metal clips and channels. Surfaces includes the east and west walls as
well as the sloped ceiling (garage) and flat ceiling (car wash). Not all sand
will be absorbed by this solution, but a noticeable difference should occur.
Thank you for your patronage,

SUBJECT: RECYCLING COLLECTION
WASTE MANAGEMENT COMPANY
Wednesday and Thursday of this week was our first collection of recyclables
under the contract with Waste Management Company. Overall, in discussing
the collection with Dick Pouliot and the secretaries in the Engineering
Department who are handling the phone calls, we feel it went very well for
the first day of the new contract with a new contractor.
As you know, Waste Management picks up recyclables on Monday and Tuesday in
Minnetonka, Wednesday and Thursday in Plymouth, and Friday in Golden Valley.
All three are new contracts which have not been previously collected by this
firm.
Waste Management got way behind in the City of Minnetonka on Monday and
Tuesday. Although they worked until approximately 11:00 p.m. on Tuesday,
they did not get completed. They did not complete Minnetonka until around
noon on Wednesday. Although they started in Plymouth the first thing
Wednesday morning, it was not with all of their equipment since part of it
was within the City of Minnetonka.
The collection within Plymouth on Wednesday is the area west of I-494.
Because of the late start with all of the equipment in Plymouth, they did
not complete the area west of County Road 101 and South of County Road 24.
The collection in this area was not completed until late Thursday morning,
and therefore, they got a late start with all their equipment on our
Thursday collections.
On our Thursday collections they did not complete the area southeast of
Medicine Lake. They are now working on this area on Friday and they expect
to be completed before noon.
Although we have received several telephone calls on missed collections,
almost all of them have been within the areas where they were starting late
on their collecting. There have been very few phone calls on an actual
missed collection. We did have one small area (the seven houses on 41st
Avenue, north of Highway 55 and west of Markham sporting goods) that was an
actual miss.
Waste Management has discussed their changes in collection procedure with
Dick Pouliot and they are projecting that they can get back on schedule next
week. The key to the entire schedule is completing each city on the correct
days.

SUBJECT DOWNTOWN PLYMOUTH
During the Council Study Meeting last Monday, I indicated that I had a
meeting scheduled with Bill Baker of Trammell Crow to discuss a portion of
downtown Plymouth. Blair and I met with Bill Baker Friday. He informed us
that Trammell Crow is seeking to acquire all the property bounded by
Plymouth Boulevard to the First Bank on the east and Vicksburg Lane on the
west and all the property lying south of 36th. Within this area, they would
like to put together a retail shopping area with possibly two anchors, one
of which would be a Cub Store. At this Juncture, they have not reached
agreements with any of the private landowners, although they are working
closely with Super Valu. They have developed a sketch of a proposed
development which they will be refining, depending upon their ability to
work with the private property owners for the acquisition of their land. I
will keep the Council informed as this matter progresses.
Bill Baker asked that this matter be kept confidential until they have had a
chance to work further with the private landowners.

SUBJECT TRANSFER OF CABLE TELEVISION FRRANCHISE
Thursday morning, the Northwest Suburbs Cable Communications Board of
Directors met and approved the transfer of the franchise from Suburban
Cablevision Company to King Video Cable Company - St. Croix. The proposed
effective date of this transfer is to be July 1. The commission's action
culminates several weeks of work on the part of the commission's negotiating
committee and representatives of both Suburban and King Video Cable. The
key terms of the transfer are as follows:
1. $5 million will be paid in cash to the NWSCCC on the date of
closing;
2. The NWSCCC will waive the right to purchase a cable communications
system on this sale, and for a subsequent sale made by King during
the current and extended franchise period;
3. The franchise will be extended five years to December 1, 2001.
The commission has requested the negotiating committee to provide
the full commission with a recommendation on how best to utilize the
$5 million. There is a general recognition on the part of the
commissioners that the funds may be used: to provide for additional
resources to encourage and support public access programming; or
distribute all or some portion of the money to the franchising
communities on the basis of the number of subscribers in that
community to the total; or finally, a combination of the two. The
negotiating committee will be meeting to review this subject and
make its recommendation to the full commission within the next few
weeks.
