Page 201
Mr. Ryan stated that the setbacks would be proposed at the
Final Plat stage of development.

stated in the Engineer's Memo was an item where the developer
would pay its fair share of the upgrading, but did not feel
they should bear the total cost. He said he felt the vehicular
traffic projection to the year 2010 was beyond the scope of the
project.
Mr. Ryan stated that Northwest Boulevard (County Road 61)
construction will commence with the development, but was not
intended to be completed when the center is opened.
Commissioner Wire asked what type of buffer would be created on
the West Medicine Lake Road side of the project.
Coordinator Dillerud stated that the grade differential on this

There was no one present to speak on the issue.

to recommend approval of the petition subject to the conditions

Mr. Johnson stated that the petitioner was in agreement with
the Staff Report except for two items. He stated that the
petitioner would like to reduce the width of some of the
streets in the area from 26 feet to 20 feet, creating more lawn
space and less asphalt in the development. The plan was drawn
on that proposal.
Mr. Johnson said that the fire hydrant requirements of the City
created a situation where there were fire hydrants directly
across the street from each other.
Mr. Johnson stated that he wanted the Commission to know of his
frustration with the landscaping done in the first phase of the
development and that the contractor was finally beginning to
complete the required work.
Commissioner Marofsky questioned the guest parking shown in the
plan. He asked why some blocks had more than others.
Mr. Johnson stated that the guest parking met the requirements
of the Zoning Ordinance.
Commissioner Marofsky asked Mr. Johnson if the guest parking
could be increased.
Mr. Johnson responded stating that additional areas within the
project were planned for use as a play area. On the north edge
the open space was placed to keep traffic down in that area.
He said that guest parking planned already exceeds code
requirements.
Vice Chairman Stulberg opened the Public Hearing.
Vice Chairman Stulberg introduced Mansoor Alyeshmerni of 2240
Drew Avenue South.
Mr. Alyeshmerni said that he was concerned about the impact on
his property by the proposal. He stated that he no longer had

Consultants representing the petitioner.

the August 4, 1989 Staff Report.
Ms. O'Donnell stated that the signs would be of a high quality
painted aluminum that would be complementary to existing signs
in the Campus area. She said that the Scanticon signage

a difficult time finding the Scanticon building.

process, awaiting a decision before pursuing the final plans.

not be a safety hazard, and would be pleasing to the landscape.

Company to answer any questions.
Commissioner Marofsky asked how important the project sign on
Xenium Lane was to the project.
Ms. O'Donnell stated that the sign would increase in importance
as the project grows.
Commissioner Marofsky questioned the mention of just Scanticon
on all project identification signs.
Mr. Pentz stated that Scanticon was a special business for the
City, and the additional directional signage was necessary as
people get lost within the Campus trying to locate Scanticon.
Commissioner Marofsky asked whether the existing property
owners would be required to change their signs to coordinate
with the new signage requested.
Mr. Pentz stated that they would not.
Vice Chairman Stulberg opened the Public Hearing.
There was no one present to speak on the issue.
Vice Chairman Stulberg closed the Public Hearing.
Commissioner Wire asked if the street signage within the Campus
would be changed.

would be changed but that public street signs would remain as
required by law.

illuminated as would others but they would be low light with a
halo effect.

sculpture would be made of.

polyethylene moldable material. She explained that the colors
would be in navy and silver to coordinate with the rest of the
Campus.

sculptures.

Vice Chairman Stulberg introduced Mr. Bill Pritchard of Orrin -
Thompson Homes representing the petitioner.

the school district regarding the roadways proposed for the
project.
Mr. Pritchard introduced Mr. Greg Frank with McCombs -Frank -
Roos, who is the consulting engineer for the project.

area and its ability to handle the drainage.
Vice Chairman Stulberg introduced Ms. Debra Kirchgessner of
3525 Urbandale Lane.
Ms. Kirchgessner stated that the southeast bike trail proposed
for the project would be a hazard to children travelling to the
school because of the pond area. She also stated her concerns
about the outlot adjoining the Amber Woods development being
used by people in this development; the failure of the holding
ponds to drain; and the light from the greenhouse in the area.

Vice Chairman Stulberg introduced Mr. Bill LaTour of 3525
County Road 101.
Mr. LaTour stated that he lived in the area near the school
boundary and the ponding area. He too is concerned about the
ponding area being a hazard for the children in the area. He
said that the failure of the pond to drain was a big concern.
He also stated that he thought it would be nice of the
developer would contact the property owners in the area and
meet with them.
Vice Chairman Stulberg introduced Ms. Judy LaTour of 3525
County Road 101.
Ms. LaTour also expressed her concern over the drainage problem
of the ponding area. She stated that she also felt that the
price range of the homes proposed for the area was too wide.
She would like to see a narrower price range.
Vice Chairman Stulberg introduced Mr. Harold Winterhalter of
18260 Medina Road.
Mr. Winterhalter stated that his concern was with the traffic
that will be generated on Medina Road from this proposed
development and whether the road will be upgraded.
Vice Chairman Stulberg introduced Mr. Len Busch of 4045 Highway
101.
Mr. Busch stated he owns the land to the north of Medina Road
and is also the owner of the greenhouse. He stated that he
does not want to be assessed for improvements of the road
upgrading since it will not benefit his property.
Vice Chairman Stulberg told Mr. Busch that the Planning
Commission does not deal with assessments.
Vice Chairman Stulberg closed the Public Hearing.
City Engineer Faulkner stated that the developer would not be
allowed to increase the runoff in the area and that drainage
constructed by the developer would improve the drainage
situation for the entire watershed.
Commissioner Marofsky asked if the southeast corner of the
development was a designated City ponding area.
Mr. Frank stated that it was not and that the developer will
construct a controlled outlet for the pond along with the
development.
Vice Chairman Stulberg asked if the City has plans to upgrade
Medina Road.
Planning Commission Minutes
August 9, 1989
Page 208
City Engineer Faulkner responded that there are plans for
Medina Road as a major collector and the road will be upgraded
along with the development in 1990.
Vice Stulberg asked to have the southeast area of the trail
discussed.
Mr. Frank stated that the area is wetland vegetation and open
water and that he would look closer at the area. He said that
the trail through the area would be.a passive trail.
Mr. Frank stated that the new property owners using the Amber
Woods recreation area should not be a concern due to the
distance they would have to travel. He responded to the
concern of the neighboring property owners being contacted by
the developer by saying that this is what the Public Hearing is
for.
Mr. Pritchard stated that this is just a Sketch Plan, and he
invited the property owners to visit an area in Eden Prairie
that the developer has completed which is similar to the
proposed project.
Mr. Pritchard stated that the developer will propose a berm
along Medina Road to help block the light from the greenhouse.
Commissioner Marofsky stated that he would like to see
Yellowstone Lane rather than Zircon Lane as the minor collector
of the development.
Mr. Frank stated that Zircon Lane was selected as the minor
collector to help get traffic out of the area and dispersed
within the loop system proposed.
MOTION by Commissioner Wire, seconded by Commissioner Marofsky MOTION TO APPROVE
to recommend approval of the Sketch Plan subject to the
conditions listed in the July 31, 1989 Staff Report.
Commissioner Marofsky stated that he would like to see a
decrease in the number of lots proposed and an increase in the
amount of open space.
Commissioner Stulberg stated that he thought the plan was a
better fit than a PUD but would like to see more open space.

Mr. Worthington stated that OPUS Corporation has the option to
become the sole owner of this development pending approval of
this concept plan.
Mr. Worthington explained the concept plan for this development
now known as the "Bass Creek Business Park". He showed graphic
drawings of the changes being proposed from the previous plan
approved for the Tennant Corporation.
Mr. Worthington explained the trail proposed which would begin
at the southeast corner of the development and go north and
west to Pike Lake. He stated that he disagreed with staff that
the trail should be private and said that this would be
addressed at a later stage of the project.
Mr. Worthington also said he has some concern over the naming
of the streets in the development.
Commissioner Marofsky questioned whether the present roadway
will be large enough to handle the traffic generated from the
development.
Mr. Worthington stated the traffic volume adequacy will be
determined by the Environment Impact Statement.
Commissioner Marofsky stated that he had concerns about the
location of the proposed buildings in the southeast corner of
the development being so close to the wetland area, and the two
cul-de-sacs being proposed exceeding the City standards.
Mr. Worthington stated that the EIS will address the issue of
the location of the buildings near the wetlands, and that the
developer will apply for a variance regarding the cul-de-sac
lengths.
Vice Chairman Stulberg opened the Public Hearing.
There was no one present to speak on the issue.

City Engineer Faulkner stated that the reason behind the
proposed closing of the access point is the increased
traffic at the intersection of Highway 55 and South Shore
Drive caused by the construction of 10th Avenue.
Commissioner Zylla stated that he disagreed with City
Engineer Faulkner. He stated that the service road access
to South Shore Drive poses the most danger.
Commissioner Marofsky confirmed City Engineer Faulkner's
recommendation and asked staff if there would•be any harm in
keeping the access point open until the improvements on the
north service road are made.
City Engineer Faulkner responded that if they do not take
advantage of improving the situation now, they may lose it.
Commissioner Tierney asked staff what the access to this
site will be when the relocated north service drive is open.
Coordinator Dillerud responded that staff is uncertain of
that now. He stated that Valley Forge Lane would most
likely be the north/south connector which will loop to South
Shore Drive and that the traffic to this site would come
from the east.
Acting Chairman Wire introduced Mike Eicher representing
Pump and Meter Service, Inc.
Mr. Eicher stated they are opposed to the condition closing
the access point. He stated their proposal to move the
diesel pump island is to permit the transports to enter and
exit the site safely, and that by closing the access, the
problem will be created all over again. He stated that
their proposal is simply to move the pump island over 15
feet.
Commissioner Marofsky asked Mr. Eicher if he had any
comments on the possible approval of the Conditional Use
Permit and Site Plan with the proposed condition.
Mr. Eicher responded that he was surprised that this
condition did not exist on an earlier Site Plan amendment.
Acting Chairman Wire opened the public hearing.
Acting Chairman Wire introduced Richard Linn, the owner of
Pump and Meter Service, Inc., of 13701 Rocksborough Road,
Minnetonka.
Mr. Linn stated the proposed closure of the access point
would destroy his business because Amoco would not be able
to enter or exit for delivery. He stated another option
would be to put the diesel pump island between one of the
other two islands that already exist on the south side.

Acting Chairman Wire asked Mr. Linn if they had considered
the option to move the diesel tanks.
Mr. Linn responded that moving the diesel tanks would be too
costly ($100,000).
Mr. Eicher stated that they would prefer to have an absolute
denial recommendation from the Planning Commission rather
than an approval recommendation with the condition to close
the access point.
Acting Chairman Wire closed the public hearing.
MOTION, by Commissioner Zylla, seconded by Commissioner
Tierney, to recommend approval of the amended Conditional
Use Permit and Site Plan to relocate the pump island
dispensing diesel fuel to the west side of the property,
deleting Condition 5.
Commissioner Zylla stated that the reason for his motion was
due to his concern for Pump & Meter Service's, Inc.,
business. He further stated that he would support absolute
denial if his motion failed.
Commissioner Tierney stated that the reason for her
seconding the motion was due to insufficient information
regarding the proposed new road way. She stated she would
rather see Pump & Meter Service, Inc., in full operation now
and address access when closing of the service road is more
imminent.
Roll Call Vote. 4 Ayes. Commissioner Marofsky Nay. MOTION
carried.
Acting Chairman Wire introduced the request of Donald
Trotter for an amended RPUD Plan and Conditional Use Permit
to allow retention of a deck built without a permit and at
.14 feet side yard setback in the Deerwood Estates RPUD.
Coordinator Dillerud gave an overview of the August 10,
1989, staff report.
Chairman Wire introduced Mike Mjoen, an attorney
representing Donald Trotter.
Mr. Mjoen stated that the reason Mr. Trotter bought the
house was because of the large and beautiful deck. He
stated that the deck brings up the value of the house and
that the house was even advertised in the Parade of Homes,
focusing on the large deck. Mr. Mjoen commented that Mr.
Trotter has not been unresponsive to this matter as stated
in the staff report. He further stated that he felt the
precedent was not a major concern, and that it can be
controlled. Mr. Mjoen added that the deck does not
interfere with the adjoining property owner.

Commissioner Pierce asked Mr. Mjoen if Mr. Trotter was the
builder the home.
Mr. Mjoen responded that the home had been in existence for
3 years prior to Mr. Trotter purchasing the home.
Commissioner Zylla asked Mr. Mjoen if the adjoining property
owner is aware of the petitioner's request.
Mr. Mjoen responded affirmatively.
Coordinator Dillerud commented that the Trotters no longer
live in this home.
Acting Chairman Wire opened the public hearing. There was
no one present to speak on the issue.
Acting Chairman Wire closed the public hearing.
Acting Chairman Wire stated that moving the deck would be
too difficult and expensive.
Commissioner Pierce stated that this situation was not the
Trotter's fault, but the builder's and City's fault.
Commissioner Marofsky stated that this issue is bad
precedent for the City. He felt that letting this mistake
go for this petitioner would reflect on all situations
similar to this.
MOTION by Commissioner Tierney, seconded by Commissioner MOTION TO DENY
Pierce, to recommend denial of an amended RPUD Plan and
Conditional Use Permit to allow retention of a deck built
without a permit and .14 foot side yard setback for the
Deerwood Estates RPUD.
Commissioner Zylla stated that he would not support this
motion because he felt it was creating more of a hardship
for everyone concerned.
Acting Chairman Wire stated that they do not have a
reasonable alternative.

Acting Chairman Wire introduced the request of A.A.G. A.A.G. BUILDERS (89056)
Builders for an amended RPUD Plan and Conditional Use Permit
for a garage addition located at 3375 Rosewood Lane.
Acting Chairman Wire waived the overview of the August 3,
1989, staff report. He noted that at the last Planning
Commission meeting, the petitioner requested more time to
review the staff report; therefore, the petitioner's request
Planning Commission Minutes
August 23, 1989
Page 215
was continued until this meeting. Acting Chairman Wire also
noted the receipt of a letter sent by the petitioner.
Acting Chairman Wire introduced John Giebenhain, the
petitioner.
Mr. Giebenhain passed around a graphic of his proposal and
discussed the letter he had sent. Mr. Giebenhain stated
that the surrounding neighborhood was in favor of the garage
addition. He stated that not only is the existing garage an
eyesore, but also a traffic site obstruction, due to the
short driveway, which causes their cars to be parked so
close to the road way. Mr. Giebenhain stated that it is a
reasonable request to improve his property. He further
stated that the increased property taxes caused by this
garage addition would be good for the City.
Commissioner Tierney asked Mr. Giebenhain what the view
would be for the adjacent property owner.
Mr. Giebenhain responded that it is fenced off where he
proposes to build the garage addition. He further stated
that the adjoining property owner has only a small bathroom
window facing the garage and that it would not be a bad view
for them.
Commissioner Marofsky stated that the adjoining property
owner would not have the room to make any addition to their
home if A.A.G. Builder's petition is approved.
Commissioner Pierce asked staff if 10 feet is standard for a
PUD setback.
Coordinator Dillerud responded affirmatively and that 15
feet is the standard for conventional lots.
Commissioner Marofsky asked Mr. Giebenhain if he built his
home, or bought it existing.
Mr. Giebenhain responded that he built it.
Commissioner Marofsky asked Mr. Giebenhain what the distance
was from his property line to the adjoining property owner
to the north.
Mr. Giebenhain responded that he did not know. He further
stated that he felt it was unlikely the adjoining property
owner would ever add on to their house. He felt each lot
should stand on its own merit.
Commissioner Pierce questioned Mr. Giebenhain on the house
setbacks and why it was positioned the way it is.
Planning Commission Minutes
August 23, 1989

Mr. Giebenhain responded that he built the house up further
because of the slope in the back.
MOTION by Commissioner Marofsky to recommend denial of an
amended RPUD Plan and Conditional Use Permit for A.A.G.
Builders for a garage addition located at 3375 Rosewood
Lane.
Motion failed for lack of a second.

carried.
Commissioner Zylla stated that he did not feel good voting
in favor and stated that the Planning Commission exercises
subjectivity on a case-by-case basis.
Acting Chairman Wire introduced the request of the City of
Plymouth for a Mixed Planned Unit Development Preliminary
Plan and Conditional Use Permit amendment, Preliminary Plat,
Rezoning, MPUD Final Plan, and Final Plat.
Coordinator Dillerud gave an overview of the August 14,
1989, staff report.
Commissioner Marofsky asked staff why they are proposing the
public library.
Coordinator Dillerud responded it is being proposed as a PUD
Concept and General Development Plan element, not a Site
Plan.
Acting Chairman Wire introduced Fred Moore, Director of
Public Works, representing the petitioner.
Commissioner Marofsky asked Mr. Moore why lots 3 and 4 are
broken up into parcels of odd configuration.
Mr. Moore stated they propose to incorporate all lots in
what was thought to be a general development plan. He
stated the lot divisions of the preliminary plat and final
plat was due to the school district and sewer district
boundaries.
Commissioner Marofsky asked Mr. Moore if it would be
possible to classify those 2 lots as outlots.

Mr. Moore responded that those lots to the east could be
called outlots.
Commissioners Zylla and Marofsky noted they had no elevation
maps for this proposal.
Acting Chairman Wire opened the public hearing.
Acting Chairman Wire introduced Frank Boyles, Assistant City
Manager.
Mr. Boyles stated three points in support of the proposal:
1. The proposal is consistent with the City's ordinances,
codes, and policies; 2. The now proposed Community Center
will draw people to this site socially more than the
previously proposed Theme Center; and 3. The proposal is
consistent with the City Service Center concept. Mr. Boyles
then introduced Lloyd Berquist, the architect, and Geoff
Martin, the landscape architect.
Mr. Berquist displayed the elevation map and pointed out the
features of the Community Center.
Acting Chairman Wire introduced John Lunn of 4037 Quantico
Lane North.
Mr. Lunn stated that he has lived in Plymouth for just over
one year, and that he is retired. He stated he felt that
the Community Center will cost a lot of money and that the
tax payers will eventually end up paying for it. Mr. Lunn
stated he felt that this was not the right time to build a
Community Center, and he felt the City should delay their
plans.
Vice Chairman Stulberg arrived at 9:05 p.m.
Acting Chairman Wire introduced Jay Naftzger of 3335 Niagara
Lane North.
Mr. Naftzger stated that he had questions to ask and had no
comments for or against the proposal. He asked staff what
their plans are for the east side of the City -owned
property. He asked if it is dedicated park land, and if it
is possible to change that.
Director Tremere confirmed that the east portion of the
property is dedicated park land. He stated that the land is
simply being platted according to codes and that there are
no proposals to build east of the Community Center. Mr.
Tremere further stated that outlots are unbuildable by
Zoning Ordinance difinition.
Acting Chairman Wire introduced Donna Langner of 3340
Niagara Lane North.
T a`
Planning Commission Minutes
August 23, 1989
Page 218
Ms. Langner stated that she felt the property owner's notice
was misleading. She thought the Community Center building
would cover the entire site and was concerned about the
heavy wooded area. She asked staff why they did not mention
anything about zoning.
Coordinator Dillerud stated that they are only dealing with
platting and not zoning except for a small "housekeeping"
zoning change.
Mr. Martin gave an overview of the landscaping plan. He
stated there would be a connecting path between the City
Hall and the Community Center. He stated their plan was to
retain most of the trees which will create a buffer to the
north. Mr. Martin stated they would plant a mixture of
plants and wildflowers for seasonal uses.
Acting Chairman Wire closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Marofsky questioned Mr. Moore on the reduction
of sewer capacity as the result of the use change proposed
and plans for a fire lane.
Mr. Moore responded that the Community Center will generate
less sewage flow, but there will be sizeable utility fees.
He further stated that the fire lane will not extend to the
back of the building due to the grades and tree preservation
efforts, but there will be stand pipes and a sprinkler
system.
Commissioner Zylla commented that this fire lane plan is the
best he has seen in over a year.
MOTION by Commissioner Marofsky, seconded by Commissioner
MOTION TO APPROVE
Stulberg, to recommend approval for the City of Plymouth for

staff recommended conditions modified as follows: 1. Amend
Condition 7 to read compliance with the Tree Preservation
Policy and 2. Add Condition 9 to delete the public library
from the site plan.

Hennepin County that the City of Plymouth does have a place
to build a public library.

Vice Chairman Stulberg introduced Howard and Desolyn Olson,
the petitioners.
Mr. and Mrs. Olson stated they were in agreement with the
August 10, 1989, staff report and had no comments.
Commissioner Tierney asked staff why each resident of the
Cimarron Ponds who wants to screen their already existing
porch has to apply for a Conditional Use Permit amendment.
Coordinator Dillerud responded that there are two different
types of screening --one is structure and the other is not.
He further stated that all residents, as a whole, would have
to petition for a Conditional Use Permit amendment in order
to change this process for everyone.
Director Tremere stated that there are no unified ownerships
in PUDs.

Director Tremere responded it applies to all.
Vice Chairman Stulberg introduced Zoning Ordinance Amendment
No. 2.
Commissioner Wire requested clarification of the term
"window signage".
Coordinator Dillerud responded anything oriented to the
outside is considered window signage.
Commissioner Zylla stated that this amendment was Council
initiated and it seems like it goes beyond what they were
looking for. They were looking to control temporary signage
and staff has created a permanent signage condition.
Director Tremere responded that that was true to an extent.
He stated that the Councilmembers that raised this were
concerned about signs in windows which can be considered
temporary because they often go up and come down.
Vice Chairman Stulberg introduced Zoning Ordinance Amendment
No. 3.
Commissioner Zylla requested confirmation of the word
"faces" on page 2, number 2.
Director Tremere responded that the word "faces" refers to
any side of a structure.
Commissioner Wire asked staff what other type of accessory
building or structure would there be if it was not a garage.
Director Tremere responded utility building, storage, porch,
gazebo. He stated the problem is that the setback for
garages must be the same as the principal building and the
case before the Commissioners is if the Ordinance should
allow garages (i.e. accessory buildings) to be closer than
50 feet.
Commissioner Marofsky asked staff what will be done along
restricted access streets as far as setbacks for fencing.
Director Tremere responded that if restricted access exists,
the party may have a 6 -foot high fence in that yard;
otherwise, it would not be allowed.

Mr. Griffith stated that 34th Avenue North and Annapolis

the real estate office.

proposal here to determine the wisdom of a reguiding.

MEMO
DATE: September 14, 1989
TO:
James G.
Willis, City
Manager
FROM:
Richard
J. Carlquist,
Public Safety Director
SUBJECT Outdoor Warning Siren Location
The eighth outdoor warning siren was recently erected at 48th Avenue North and
Minnesota Lane. In fact, it was installed yesterday on a 50 foot pole.
We had originally planned an earlier installation, but the pole that had been
delivered was not acceptable. Therefore, the pole had been left at this location
for several weeks.
There is now a home being constructed at this corner location, 15000 48th Avenue
North.
The owner of this home, Doug Wangen, and the builder, Hans Hagen, have both called
me today expressing their extreme dissatisfaction with the outdoor warning siren.
They both plan on attending the September 25th Plymouth forum to express their
concerns and ask the council to move the siren.
The siren location was determined by the previous consultant that we used to
identify the last four sirens that we have installed.
The location at Minnesota Lane and 48th Avenue North was chosen to maximize the
coverage area. In other words, it is important that the siren- be located on high
ground relative to the adjacent area and be sighted so that there is not extreme
overlap with the other outdoor sirens.
Lt. Saba told me that there is anticipated two outlots north of the property in
question. These outlots would come about when Schmidt Lake Road is extended throu4_h
the area to the north.
To -the best of my recollection, the only other outdoor warning siren located in a
front yard is the one off of 35th and Xenium Lane North. The rest of the sirens are
either located on public property, such as Oakwood School, Parker's Lake, and
Armstrong High School, or located in commercial areas or across the street from
residential property.

ELECTION AND CAMPAIGN INFORMATION FOR CANDIDATES
GENERAL
Elections in Plymouth are governed by Minnesota statutes. Minnesota Statutes 204B
governs the general conduct of elections, Chapter 205 deals specifically with
municipal elections and Chapters 211A and 2118 are the Campaign Financial
Reporting and Fair Campaign Practices Act.
The regular Plymouth City General Election is held on the first Tuesday after the
first Monday in November of each odd numbered year. This year it will be held as
a paper ballot election on November 7, 1989.
THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
The offices to be filled are those of Mayor and two members of the City Council.
The Mayor is the official head of the municipality. The Mayor's duties involve
being the major spokesman and representative of the City government and the
community, executing official documents, making official appointments subject to
Council approval, serving on special committees, and presiding at the City Council
meetings. In addition, the Mayor is a regular member of the City Council with all
the powers and duties of a councilmember. It is the City Council as a body, not
its individual members, which supervise the City Manager, formulate policy and
exercise municipal powers. The most important responsibility of the Councilperson
is participation at the Council meetings. In addition, the Council is the
municipal board of review for assessment purposes. A more detailed description of
the administrative organization and operation is provided in the attached
"Community Information Booklet".
CAMPAIGN SIGNS
The Plymouth Zoning Ordinance permits political signs under the following
conditions:
1. The signs must be located on private property with the owner or occupant's
consent. Signs are not permitted on public property or within the street
right-of-way.
2. The maximum size of such signs shall be 32 square feet. (i.e. 4' x 8'
3. Permit, fee, and setback requirements of the ordinance are waived for
political signs, provided the signs do not impede safety by obstructing
vision of pedestrians or motor vehicle operators.
4. Signs shall be removed within 5 days after the election.
CAMPAIGN PRACTICES
Campaign practices and procedures are governed by the Fair Campaign Practices Act,
Minnesota Statutes Chapter 211B. The Act seeks to prevent fraud and undue
influence of voters on candidates by limiting campaign expenditures, prohibiting
corporate contributions and regulating practices incident to political campaigns.
A copy of Chapter 211B is attached for your benefit. Minor revisions have
recently been enacted by the legislature which make this Chapter less restrictive.
=: —7
CAMPAIGN FINANCIAL REPORTING
Campaign financial reporting is governed by Minnesota Statutes Chapter 211A.
Candidates and secretaries of personal campaign committees shall file a financial
statement as follows:
1. Initial report due within 14 days of candidate or committee collecting
contributions or making disbursements of more than $750.
2. Second report due by October 27, 1989 (10 days before the election).
3. Third report due by January 31, 1990, and each year thereafter until Final
Report has been filed.
4. Final report may be filed any time after the candidate or committee has
settled all debts and disposed of all assets in excess of $100 aggregate.
NOTE: If a candidate or campaign committee does not collect contributions or make
disbursements of more than $750, they are exempted from filing the forms; however,
a statement of this fact must be submitted to the City Clerk by each of the due
dates.
The City Clerk is prohibited from issuing a Certificate of Election and a
candidate may not take office unless the required Expenditure Statements have been
filed. Copies of the Campaign Financial Report forms are attached.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Following are the questions most often asked regarding voting. Candidates are
likely to receive these questions when talking with voters during the campaign.
1. Where do I vote?
The voter can call the City Center 559-2800 between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.
and provide his/her street address. The voter's precinct number and polling
location will be identified. Voters must vote in their own precinct.
Attached are 3 precinct maps and lists of polling locations if the candidate
wishes to assist voters in locating their precinct and polling place.
(Additional maps are available for $2.12 each).
2. Who is eligible to vote?
A person who at the time of the election is 18 years of age or older, is a
citizen of the U.S., and since this is a local election only, has resided in
the City of Plymouth for 30 days.
3. Do I have to be registered to vote?
Yes. Pre -register by October 17 by calling or visiting the City Center
between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. No identification is needed if
pre -registration occurs by October 17. After October 17, each voter must
register on election day and provide one of the following forms of
identification with the current address in the precinct. Absolutely no
other forms can be accepted.
A. Valid Minnesota driver's license or learner's permit (or receipt for
either).
B. Valid Minnesota identification card (or receipt). Some individuals have
this identification if they do not have a driver's license.
C. Notice of Ineffective Registration. This is a form a person would
receive from the City Clerk if they attempted to pre -register between
October 17 and the election.
D. Valid registration in the same precinct. The person may have moved to
another home, but stayed within the same precinct.
E. Student fee statement, student identification card.
F. Go to the polling place with a voter registered in the same precinct who
can vouch for your residence by signing an oath. A voter who registers
on election day using a written form of identification listed above can
vouch for another person. A person who is "vouched for" cannot vouch
for another person. A registered voter in a precinct may vouch for an
unlimited number of persons seeking to register, if the voter personally
knows that each individual is a resident of the precinct.
4. Can I vote an absentee ballot?
Yes, but only if you will be unable to go to your polling location for one
of the following reasons:
A. Absence from precinct on election day.
B. Illness of disability.
C. Religious discipline or observance of religious holiday.
D. Service as an election judge in another precinct.
Contact the City Center by phone or in person to obtain an application for
an absentee ballot for yourself or a family member. The voter must complete
the application form and return it to the City Center. An absentee ballot
will then be issued.
Also, the City Center will be open on Saturday, November 4, from 1:00 to
3:00 p.m. and until 7:00 p.m. on Monday, November 6 for those needing to
vote using an absentee ballot.
For Recyclers, the News Is Looking Bad
Newspaper Glut
Forces Towns
To End Projects
By B1r.L PAUL
Staff Reporter of THE WALL Smet-rJounvAL
Just 15 months ago, Joe Harrison was
officiating at the ribbon -cutting ceremony
for the newly expanded recycling center in
Barberton, Ohio. Setting an upbeat mood
for the event, two local chicken houses
gave away dinners as door prizes while
disk jockeys from a nearby Akron station
played records and cheered the six-year-
old program to collect newspapers, glass
bottles and aluminum cans.
Today Mr. Harrison feels less festive.
The city official is trying to unload $250,000
of used recycling equipment. Barberton's
recycling program, which used to contrib-
ute $3,000 to $5,000 a year to the Little
League and other community projects, Is
dead.
Success Wed recycling in Barberton,
just as It threatens community recycling
programs across the U.S.
Collected for Naught
It's no secret America is having trouble
grappling with the garbage crisis. Despite
overflowing landfills, many U.S. cities and
states refuse to grant permits for new
dumps or incinerators, citing health and
property -value concerns. But in their rush
to mandate the only other option—recy-
cling—politicians have failed to stimulate
demand for recycled goods.
"We told (elected officials] they were
going to have a problem, but they didn't
listen," says a frustrated John Rafferty,
director of the solid -waste division of
greatei Minneapolis's Metropolitan Coun-
cil.
The markets for recycled aluminum
and glass have held up, because reusing
those materials Is still cheaper than start-
ing afresh. And the plastics industry,
afraid of being legislated out of business, is
financing its own search for uses of recy-
cled plastic. But the market for old news-
papers, the key commodity in any recy-

individuals witness the
higher costs of recycling,
they are likely to lose
interest in programs they
once thought would be cheap,
or even free, to operate.
cling program because it accounts for
roughly 60% of revenue, has collapsed this
year under tremendous oversupply.
Fifteen months ago, Mr. Harrison got
$30 a ton for old newspapers. Just before
he shut his doors July 28, he paid a broker
$10 a ton to haul papers away. The newspa-
per glut will cost communities more than
$100 million In lost revenue this year, and
the longer range implications are more
worrisome. Even if newsprint makers stick
to their promises of recycling more paper,
it could be two or three years before they
are equipped to do so. And then, produc-
tion will still hinge on publishers' demand,
which has been weak. The need for old
newspapers, therefore, Isn't likely to in-
crease anytime soon.
"The future scares me," says Kevin
Preblud, vice president of U.S. Recycling
Industries Inc. in Denver. As people wit-
ness the higher costs of recycling, he wor-
ries they will lose interest in programs
they once thought would be cheap, or even
free, to operate.
"Recycling is entering a very danger-
ous period," says Jerry Powell, editor of
Resource Recycling, a trade publication in
Portland, Ore. "A lot of governments are
going to have trouble riding out the
Slump."
With more communities discontinuing
paper pickup in face of the glut, "paper is
going back into the trash," says Margaret
Fleming, a Baltimore paper broker. (Con-
trary to popular belief, newspapers take
decades to decompose in landfills.) And
without workable recycling, communities
with overflowing landfills must build un-
popular, expensive disposal plants or face
big recurring costs to ship garbage ever -
longer distances.
Many politicians are trying to salvage
newspaper recycling, and in the process
are putting publishers on the spot, trying
to force them to use more recycled fiber.
Connecticut recently passed legislation re-
quiring a publisher that prints in Connecti-
cut, or that sells more than 40,000 copies of
a newspaper in that state, to use 40% recy-
cled fiber in at least 20% of the newspa-
per's sheets. The law takes effect in 1993
and, by 1991, 901/. of all sheets will have to
meet the 40% quota.
The 1,385 -member American Newspa.
per Publishers Association is threatening
to sue, arguing that such a regulated mar-
ket erodes the "traditional distance be-
tween publishers and governments," ac-
cording to Tonda Rush, an attorney for the
association.
Ms. Rush acknowledges that publishers
have had a longstanding bias against recy.
cled newsprint, claiming inferior quality.
In addition, recycled newsprint, costing
about the same as new paper, has no price
advantage. Ms. Rush says the bias Is erod-
ing as technology Improves, but legislators
appear Impatient. California and Wiscon-
sin are expected shortly to follow Connecti-
cut's example. There's even talk in some
state capitals about requiring a deposit on
each newspaper, or requiring newspaper
and even magazine publishers to collect
their old publications.
Feeling pressured, several paper manu-
facturers in the past two months have an-
nounced plans to increase capacity for
processing recycled paper. However, the
paper makers say It will take three years
to gear up fully.
Meanwhile, "I'm afraid we're going to
lose the grass-roots momentum for recy-
cling, all the Boy Scout troops and church
groups," says U.S. Recycling Industries'
Mr. Preblud. In New York, Rod Edwards
of the American Paper Institute wonders
whether cash-strapped municipalities will
restart their recycling programs after the
slump is over, given that recycling news-
papers may still cost more than sending
them to landfills. While landfills are less of
an option in the jam-packed Eastern
states, there Is still space in the Midwest,
though it is getting more expensive.
For companies like Waste Management
Inc. in Chicago and Browning-Ferris In-
dustries Inc. in Houston, the woes of com-
munity recycling programs represent a
business opportunity. That's why they've
added recycling to their list of disposal
services they offer communities. But for
communities, the professional help adds
huge cost. Under some Browning-Ferris
contracts, municipalities even must share
the company's financial risk when prices
for recyclable commodities decline.
Some towns are adding to their prob-
lems through poor collection habits. James
Burke, executive vice president of Garden
State Paper Co., a major recycler of news-
print, says some towns allow phone books
and junk mail to get thrown into the mix,
and permit bundles to be tied with such
contaminants as panty hose.
Toll on the Midwest
So far, the slide in price for old newspa-
per has taken its highest toll on Midwest-
ern Tecycling programs because of the re-
gion's higher transportation costs to paper
mills and ports.
Inst month, Dane County, Wis., com-
missioners partially lifted a ban on land-
filling old newspapers after the county's
paper broker halved the amount of old
newspapers he was willing to buy each
month. The temporary waiver was opposed
by many civic leaders who believe resi-
dents will get out of the recycling habit.
Youngstown, Ohio, quit picking up
newspapers a month ago. William Dundee,
the city's litter -control coordinator, says
residents were advised to store old papers,
but may soon be told to just throw them
out. The city still collects glass and alumi-
num, but Mr. Dundee says he's coT;cerned
that before long, "People are going to say
'I'm wasting my time recycling.' "
Roger S. Angell, a Washington, D.C.,
consultant to Browning-Ferris, agrees with
environmentalists that the recycling move.
ment in America could be seriously under-
mined as people get disillusioned by the
failure of community programs.
In Minneapolis, "recycling is becoming
less popular," says Mr. Rafferty, the city
official, because residents heard that their
newspapers were going to a landfill any-
way because of the paper market's col-
lapse. That practice has stopped, Mr. Raf-
ferty says. However, In June the compa-
nies that collect the recyclable goods
forced area governments to renegotiate
contracts. As a result, garbage fees rose
roughly 20%, and now the cost of recycling
approximates the cost of landfilling.
"Recycling has been billed as easy to
do and free," Mr. Rafferty says. "But it is
neither."
CONTROLLING NUISANCE POPULATIONS OF CANADA GEESE
Laurence N. Gillette
Wildlife Manager
Hennepin Parks
8/16/89
The Problem:
Canada Geese may become a problem when too many of them congregate on
public or private lawns, golf courses, picnic areas, swimming beaches,
or swimming pools. Their droppings foul the area or contaminate the
water, and they may occasionally create safety hazards to users. What
consititues too many varies from person to person and from one
location to another. There are also seasonal variations in goose
problems which require different control techniques.
May -July 20
Families of geese cause most of the problems during spring and early
summer. The goslings are too young to fly, but broods may congregate
in one area, causing localized problems. The adults will molt their
flight feathers by mid-June and remain flightless for almost a month.
These families may be joined by flocks of subadult or non -nesting
geese in May and early June. Most of the non -nesting geese will
disappear by mid-June, because they migrate to secluded areas to
molt. Exclusion fencing or scare devices may help, but shaking eggs
(permit required) in April or conducting goose roundups in June are
the most effective control techniques.
July 20 -November
The local breeding population is reinforced by geese returning from
molt or by flocks of geese moving in from outlying areas. Geese may
appear by the hundreds in areas where they were not present before.
They may use areas totally devoid of water. They may come and go, or
they may stay continuously. One area may be used for feeding, while
another is used for loafing. Potential solutions include exclusion
fencing for very small areas (such as a back yard), or scare devices
and/or shooting during the hunting season for large areas.

Control Techniques
Exclusion fencing:
Mylar tape strung at 10 -inch and 25 -inch heights is effective for
small areas such as backyards. It can be used for larger areas in May
and June when goslings are flightless. Order forms are available from
the USDA Animal Damage Control Specialist.
Scare devices:
A variety of noise -making shells are available. If used properly,
they can chase geese from large areas, but the applications must be
repeated, and geese may eventually adapt, especially if initial hazing
is not done properly. Scaring should start as soon as geese appear.
Do not wait until they have become accustomed to the area. Order
forms are available from USDA Animal Damage Control Specialist.
Shooting:
All shooting must be done during established goose hunting seasons.
The first season begins September 1 in the Metro Area. Shooters must
have a State small game license and State and Federal duck stamps.
All State hunting regulations are enforced. A special permit is
necessary from MN DNR to allow shooting over water during the early -
season hunt. A city permit to discharge a firearm may also be
needed. Usually two mornings of hunting are sufficient to disperse a
flock of geese. It is not necessary to kill all the birds. Killing
only a few will chase the rest away. Shooting can be used only for
late -season problems, but even very brief periods of hunting will
increase the success of scare devices the following year.
Shake eggs:
If nests can be located during the first 2 weeks of incubation,
shaking each egg vigorously will kill the embryo. Leave the eggs in
the nest to prevent renesting. A Federal permit is necessary. USDA
Animal Damage Control must inspect the site and approve the technique
before USFWS Law Enforcement will issue a permit. This technique is
good for solving the early -season problem if nests can be located
easily and if they are in areas where access is possible.
Summer Roundup:
All flightless geese are rounded up in mid- to late June. The birds
must be turned over to MN DNR. Roundups are coordinated and conducted
by Dr. -James Cooper. The cost is $150 to $1,000 per roundup. All
goslings and their parents can be removed, but free -flying geese may
repopulate the area by August. Roundups will be required at least
once every 2 years. Obviously, this technique is good only for
early -season goose problems.
Note: It is illegal to poison geese or shoot geese outside of an established
hunting season. Most control techniques (except exclusion and
scaring) require some type of permit. Goose feeding should be
prohibited in problem areas, since this will only aggrevate a nuisance
situation.

CITY OF
PLYMOUTR
I have received your September 6, 1989 letter requesting that an additional
$2,500 to $3,000 be placed in the 1990 Plymouth Historical Society budget
for painting of the old town hall building. Since it is your intent to have
a local civic group paint the building at no cost other than supplies, we
have added $600 for paint and materials to your original $4,100 budget
request. TheCity Council will be discussing the 1990 budget requests later
this month. /f

Dear Mr. Boyle;
As we had discussed in our telephone conversation the Plymouth
Historical Society would like to ammend our 1989/1990 Budget
request. The Historical Society building is in need of painting
in 1990. As a result we need to ammend the budget to put $2500
to $3000 in for painting.
We are hoping that a local civic group will follow through
on an offer to paint the building at no cost other than paint.
If they can not do the painting we need to make sure we cover the
cost in the budget to complete the project.
If you have any questions please give me a call at 853-8035
(work) or 473-4889 (home).

Members of the Plymouth City Council
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:
—�_ \,CCS
On August 21, 1989, Lundgren Bros. appeared before you and received
Sketch Plan approval of our proposed development on the "Leuer property on
County Road 24 in the City of Plymouth. We thank you for allowing us to
be the first applicant in the new Sketch Plan approval process.
As you are aware, this area in Plymouth is identified in the current
Capital Improvement Program to receive sewer and water in the very near
future.
During the Sketch Plan approval process of the "Leuer property" it was
brought to the attention of staff and the City Council that planning and
implementation of a storm water management system in this area has not
been included in the current Capital Improvement Program. As you know
there are other development proposals in process within this area, that
may be progressing simultaneously with our development of the "Leuer
property". As a result we request that the City Council consider in its
current Capital Improvement Program a storm water management system that
includes an outlet for pond BC -P1 in order to sufficiently handle both the
volume and rate of water flow in these developing areas.
If a storm water management system is not installed at the same time as
sewer and water, development in the surrounding area may be severely
constrained. Please give this your consideration.
Very truly yours,

Dear Mayor;
The Plymouth Historical Society is writing this letter in
support of the Plymouth Fireman Relief Assoc. in their effort
to preserve Plymouth's very first fire truck. Plymouth Fire
Truck #1 which is a 1960 International is already 29 years
old. There are many stories about fire departments selling
their first truck and then buying them back much later in poor
condition at a high price.
We don't want to see that happen and encourage the Plymouth
City Council to consider selling the truck to the Plymouth
Fireman Relief Assoc. for $1.00 so they can preserve and
maintain the truck for future generations.
