Funding for Parkers Lake Bathhouse - Phases I & II i CITY OF PLYMOUTH 3400 PLYMOUTH BLVD., PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447 TELEPHONE (612) 559-2800 MEMO DATE: April 27, 1986 for City Council Meeting May 4, 1987 TO: dames G. Willis, City Manager FROM: Blair Tremere, Community Development Director SUBJECT FURTHER DISCUSSION OF AMENDMENT TO COMPREHENSIVE PLAN STAGED GROWTH ELEMENT SUMMARY: The City Council on April 20, 1987 accepted and filed the March 30, 1987 staff report and deferred any action on the subject until the dinner/study meeting on May 4, 1987. I will be prepared with Public Works Director Fred Moore to discuss this matter with the Council. The key issue is that the City has adopted a Staged Growth Plan in addition to other elements which include a Sanitary Sewer Plan. The Staged Growth Element was adopted in response to a requirement by the Metropolitan Council that land in the Urban Service Area of the City should be restrained from development even though it could be serviced with sanitary sewer through the extension of trunk sewer lines. The City has abided by that plan since the early 1980's; the only amendments that have been made to the Staged Growth Plan have been in those areas where it was demonstrated that the area could be served with sanitary sewer by gravity without extending trunk sewer lines. Significantly, no amendments to the City's Sanitary Sewer Plan were required. In this case, in response to a specific development proposal some months ago, the City Council approved an amendment to the Sanitary Sewer Plan opening up an area which previously had been deemed closed to development at least until 1990. The Metropolitan Council endorsed that amendment to the sewer plan. The item that came before the Council several weeks ago was a "housekeeping" measure to also amend the Staged Growth Plan so to coincide with the Sewer Plan Amendment. In other words, the Staged Growth Area would be pulled back to reflect the now open area which can be serviced with sewer. It was suggested at the Council meeting that the Staged Growth Element Plan should be retained until such time that specific development is proposed. Extensive discussion evolved around that point noting that the City has land use controls such as zoning and subdivision which do not require an additional level of control through the Staged Growth Plan. Through the amendment to the Sanitary Sewer Plan, the Council has declared the area serviceable with sanitary sewer. Page two Memorandum to City Manager Staged Growth Plan Amendment May 4, 1987 City Council Meeting April 27, 1987 I have attached a copy of the March 30, 1987 staff report and the Public Works Director and I will be prepared to discuss it in further detail at the meeting. I understand you will have an agenda item consisting of the draft Resolution which would approve this amendment. Attachments 1. April 20, 1987 City Council Minutes 2.

Willis, City Manager FROM: Community Development Director Blair Tremere SUBJECT CITY OF PLYMOUTH. AMENDMENT TO THE STAGED GROWTH ELEMENT OF THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN (87014) SUMMARY: Attached is the Resolution approving this "housekeeping" Amend- ment to the Staged Growth Element of the City's Comprehensive Plan. The Planning Commission considered this amendment which will allow approximately 70 acres, located northeast of I-494 and the Soo Line Railroad, to be served with sani- tary sewer. A Public Hearing was held on March 25, 1987. The Planning Commission recommended approval by unanimous vote. A 4/5 vote is required for an Amendment to the Comprehensive Plan. This item was scheduled for the City Council meeting of April 6, 1987; there was only a quorum of three so the City Council rescheduled the application for April 20, 1987. The Council asked that the area involved be limited only to that for which development plans have been approved. Thus, there would remain an additional control over future development proposals in this area. I have determined that all areas for which development has been approved have been previously treated with Staged Growth Plan amendments. Thus, the purpose of this item is only the housekeeping need to keep the Staged Growth Plan "aligned" with the Compre- hensive Sewer Plan. The City Council and Metropolitan Council have recently approved amendments to that plan for this area. The amendment is thus not needed to comply with the direction of the Council on April 6th. The Council should understand that this area of the City will be constrained by their local decision and not by the mandate of the Comprehensive Plan Staged Growth Element as required by the Metropolitan Council. The area can be serviced now, subject to the subdivision and zoning approvals required by Ordinance. Another control has been established for this area, if the attached Resolution is not adopted.

March 16, 1987 Planning Staff Report Regular Council Meeting April 6, 1987 Page 98 Robert Russek, architect, presented the plan for the treatment plant. James Olson, consulting engineer, noted items in the draft reso- lution which should be handled by City staff and which were not covered in the contractor specifications. A Discussion followed on whether additional trees should be dded to the west, where the City would be getting the trees, ether the City should bid on the trees separately and remo It from the contract, and making this an option or do it by ange order after taking bids. Councilmember Crain stated he believed the ar immediately west of the building should have more land sc ng and some shrubs should be added to the south. There was discussion about the possi lity of using City resour- ces to procure landscape materia This might save money if the materials could be delivere in time for the completion of the project. Discussion continued on o rship of the property to the south and its ultimate disposi n. MOTION was maXbyCcilmember Crain, seconded by Councilmem- ber Sisk, dirff to add condition #13 to the site plan resolution as "There shall be six Colorado blue spruce trees added to of the building." Motion carpted, three ayes. MOTION as made by Mayor Schneider, seconded by Councilmember Crai to defer the rezoning, preliminary plan, conditional use pe it, site plan and variances for two weeks. three ayes. Items 9-E, F, and G were removed from the agenda because theyrequirea4/5 vote to pass. Mayor Schneider expressed concern with the proposed amendment to the Comprehensive Plan Staged Growth Element. He would rather see it amended at the time there is a request from a developer. Director Tremere pointed out that this includes land that already has a development approved for it. This sewer district has also been opened which makes this a "housekeeping" move. MOTION was made by Mayor Schneider, seconded by Councilmember Sisk, to table item 9-E and direct staff to come back with an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan that would include only that property approved fot development. Motion carried, three ayes.

VOTE - MOTION CARRIED Vice Chairman Pauba introduced the request by the City of CITY Plymouth for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment Staged Growth COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Elements to allow 70 acres within the Post -1990 Urban Service AMENDMENT, STAGED Area to be served with sanitary sewer. An overview of the GROWTH ELEMENT March 16, 1987 staff report was presented by Planner 87014) Cottingham. Planner Cottingham explained that an amendment to the Sewer Plan for the Bass Lake Heights 4th Addition has been processed. That amendment, along with this request, does not require the construction of trunk lines. The area can be served by lateral extensions. Commissioner Wire confirmed that no other areas in the City could be served by lateral extension and would require the installation of trunk lines. Director Moore explained other amendments to the Sewer Plan noting that providing the service has been cost effective. Commissioner Wire stated concern that the amendment would benefit one property owner and not others who may wish to have their property served. Planner Cottingham confirmed there are no development plans at this time. The property encompasses 60 acres owned by Vern Reynolds Construction Company, and 10 acres that are family owned. This proposal may or may not spur development in the area. Overall sewer capacity was discussed. Director Moore explained that the 8 -inch sewer extensions and 4 -inch lines to the residences are under-utilized for capacity. Commissioners Wire and Plufka inquired about the property at County Road 18 and Bass Lake Road which has had to wait for sewer service. Director Moore stated this area consists of Page 69 Planning Commission Minutes March 25, '1987 industrial land and part of the Harrison Hills development where a pumping station made it necessary to limit the number of lots within that development until service is available. Further discussion ensued regarding the total sewer capacity and the system limitations. Director Moore stated the City is protective of the design of the system and would not jeopardize existing service. Commissioner Wire stated this is a very sensitive issue. Even though this is a special case, other property owners may argue that sewer extension be allowed to open their land for development. Vice Chairman Pauba opened the Public Hearing, as there was no one present to speak on this item, the Public Hearing was closed. Commissioner Stulberg confirmed that direction had been given by the Metropolitan Council to open up land for development if sewer service is available. MOTION by Commissioner Stulberg, seconded by Commissioner MOTION TO APPROVE Plufka* to recommend approval for the Amendment to the Comprehensive Plan Staged Growth Element subject to the conditions listed in the March 16, 1987 staff report based on the Metropolitan Council's direction to the City regard- ing sanitary sewer service.

VOTE - MOTION CARRIED CITY OF PLYMOUTH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT TO PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT DATE: March 16, 1987 FILE NO.: 87014 PETITIONER: City of Plymouth MEETING DATE: March 25, 1987 REQUEST: Comprehensive Plan Amendment, Staged Growth Element LOCATION: Northeast of I-494 and the Soo Line Railroad GUIDE PLAN CLASS: LA -3 and LA -1 ZONING: FRD BACKGROUND: Approval is requested for an Amendment to the Comprehensive Plan Staged Growth Element to allow for approximately 30 acres to be served with sanitary sewer. The property is within the Post -1990 Urban Service Area. The City Council under Resolution No. 87-72 approved an amendment to the Sanitary Sewer Plan Element of the Comprehensive Plan which allows for this area to be serviced through the Bass Lake Sewer District rather than the North Central Sewer District. A public hearing notice has been published in the legal newspaper and property owners within 500 ft. have been notified. A Development Identification sign was placed on this property. ANALYSIS: 1. The amendment to the Staged Growth Element is consistent with previous requests in that this area can be serviced through existing sewer lines and does not require the construction of new trunk lines. 2. There is no proposed development at this time; it is a housekeeping matter that has been initiated by the City. 3. This action is consistent with Resolution No. 87-72. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the Comprehensive Plan Staged Growth Amendment application subject to those conditions as reflected in the draft recommendation. Attachments: 1.

CITY OF PLYMOU FH 3400 PLYMOUTH BLVD., PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447 TELEPHONE (612) 559-2800 MEMO DATE: March 18, 1987 TO: Planning Department FROM: Sherman L. Goldberg, City Engineer SUBJECT: 87014 - Comprehensive Plan Amendment City of Plymouth The Comprehensive Plan shows an area North of the Soo Line Railroad Tracks, West of Pineview and East of I-494 and South approximately 53rd Avenue (labeled NC -10) flowing in a Southly direction. With the development of the Bass Lake Estates 4th Addition the topography indicated. that it could flow to Pineview Lane or to the East and get sewer capacity in that particular sewer line, which is in the sewer district labeled BL -2. With this in mind it made more sense to incorporate the balance of NC -10 into the BL -2 District if the capacity was available. Our checking of the numbers indicate that the capacity is available, and we are recommending that the entire NC -10 District be incorporated into the BL -2 District with sewer capacity being available on Pineview Lane. SLG:kh CITY OF PLYMOUTH 3400 PLYMOUTH BLVD., PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447 TELEPHONE (612) 559-2800 DATE: May 1, 1987 TO: Mayor and Council Members FROM: MEMO SUBJECT dames G. Willis, City Manager PARKER'S LAKE BATH HOUSE IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM At the April 20 Council meeting, the Council spent a good deal of time discussing the Parker's Lake bath house construction program. Following discussion of the project, particularly the potential for phasing the construction of the bath house, the Council determined that additional consideration should be given to completing proposed phases 1 and 2 at this time, providing additional funding, sources could be identified. I suggested the possibility of using federal revenue sharing monies to assist in financing this project. The architect for this project, Del Erickson, has been working since April 20 on developing additional design studies for the project. Eric Blank informs me that the design studies to date suggest that the project, including the two picnic shelters and other related professional fees, will cost approximately $395,000. Funding for this phase of the overall Parker's Lake park improvement project have been contemplated to come from the park dedication fund. That fund has a current unappropriated balance of approximately 440,000. In developing the anticipated financing for this project, the Park and Recreation Director has been looking at approximately 200,000 coming from the park dedication fund. Based upon the cost estimates of the project, that would leave a funding gap of $195,000. The City's revenue sharing funds have been used over the years for capital improvement projects of major significance. Most recently the council has authorized the appropriation of $300,000 for Fire Station No. 3 improvements which funds are now encumbered for this project. The Finance Department informs me that the present unemcumbered balance in the revenue sharing account is $425,304. The Council is aware that the federal government has terminated the revenue sharing program, and accordingly there will be no more funds flowinq to this account. The public works reserve fund has a fund balance of 100,000, resulting from a transfer of 1986 net operating revenues. I believe the Council is correct In seeking to complete the Parker's Lake construction program in one phase rather than two. The economies of this approach, as well as "finishing" the project, outweigh any advantage of delay. Based upon the estimates of $395,000 for the completion of the project, I recommend that the Council approve the allocation of $250,000 from park dedication funds, $100,000 from revenue sharing, and $45,000 from the public works reserve fund.
