CITY OF
July 17, 2002 PUMOUTR
Dear Resident/Land Owner:
The City recently received an application from the Metropolitan Council, under File No.
2002089, for a comprehensive plan amendment to incorporate the property located at 5405
Vagabond Lane into the metropolitan urban service area (MUSA), and for a land use guide plan
amendment to reguide the property from LAR (Living Area -Rural) to LA -1 (Living Area 1). The
proposal would allow the existing home at 5405 Lane Vagabond to be connected to public
sanitary sever service, in conjunction with installation of the Elm Creek Interceptor. The sewer
connection is requested because the alignment of the interceptor will require removal of the on-
site mound system for sanitary sewer disposal (private septic system) at 5405 Vagabond Lane.
Unique circumstances make it infeasible to replace the mound system on the property. A map
indicating the location of the subject site is provided below.
This letter is being mailed to all landowners within 750 feet of the site in order to provide notice
and information about the application — in advance of the official notice that will be sent out
prior to the Planning Commission's public hearing on the matter. The City will send out another
letter notifying you of the Planning Commission public hearing date, not less than ten days prior
to the hearing date. The purpose of the public hearing is to allow neighboring property owners to
appear in front of the Planning Commission to ask questions and make comments relating to the
application. You may also submit comments in writing. All written comments will become part
of the public record.
If you have any questions or comments concerning this application or the review procedures,
please call Shawn Drill, Sr. Planner, at 509-5456.
In addition, you may review information relating to this application at City Hall during regular
office hours. Office hours at City Hall are 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays
through Fridays, and 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Tuesdays, except holidays. Plymouth City Hall is
located at 3400 Plymouth Boulevard.
Sincerely,
Barbara G. Senness, AICP

Dear Resident/Property Owner:
You are invited to attend a formal presentation and open house to review land use and
roadway alternatives for the County Road 73 Corridor Area. This is the second of two
open houses the City is hosting for this study, which may eventually result in changes to
the City's Comprehensive Plan as it affects this part of the community. Although your
property is outside the study area, our records indicate that your property is within 750
feet of an area where change may occur.
On August 8, 2000, the City of Plymouth adopted an updated Comprehensive Plan.
During the course of updating the plan, the City identified several areas that have a
potential for change in land use. Your property is within 750 feet of what the City
formerly designated as "Study Area A" and "Study Area B" and has now combined into
the County Road 73 Corridor Area.
A presentation and open house are scheduled between 6:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. on
Wednesday, July 24, 2002, at Plymouth Creek Center, 14800 34`h Avenue North. We
will begin with a formal presentation of the alternatives at approximately 6:45 p.m.
Representatives from City staff, the City's consultants and Hennepin County staff will all
speak. Following the formal presentation, staff and consultants will be available for
group and individual questions.
Your comments and questions regarding the study area are welcome. Please write or e-
mail me at bsenness@ci.plymouth.mn.us or telephone me at (763) 509-5452. All
comments will be shared with the City Council and Planning Commission as we continue
through the planning process.

I-494 Corridor Commission — Written Report for July 17, 2002
Monthly Report for June 18 — July 16, 2002
To date, the second year of the contract, an average of over 15 hours per week have been spent
on I-494 Corridor Commission policy and legislative activities, constituent and community
outreach and communication with member cities. The hours consist of meetings, phone calls and
preparation time.
Policy and Legislative Activities
The policy and legislative activity during this period included work with the MN Transportation
Coalition, the MN Transportation Alliance and the development of the new advocacy group
MOVE.
Minnesota Transportation Coalition
The next meeting of the MN Transportation Coalition's next meeting is scheduled for Monday,
July 22, 2002. The Coalition is beginning its work for the 2003 legislative session. Several
committees were established, and I have volunteered to serve on the committee on membership
recruitment and another committee that will develop the coalition's policy and platform for the
2003 legislative session.
MN Transportation Alliance
I continue to attend meetings of this group.
1-494 Corridor Commission Lobbying and Political Efforts — Advocacy Group
Nearly 2,500 brochures and a letter soliciting membership for MOVE have been mailed The
mailing went to over 2,000 businesses in Eden Prairie, and the largest businesses and property
owners in Bloomington and Minnetonka. The balance of the mailing went to businesses and
individuals on a list that was built over the last several months, primarily names and businesses
in Bloomington, but also included other contacts that have been made.
The advocacy group now has several members, and has either collected or received pledges to
date of over $8,500. Work continues on the membership drive with prospect breakfast meetings
and additional mailings. In addition, I am in the process of planning candidate preview
breakfasts to use as a membership drive draw.

June 17, 2002
Dear Business and Community Leader:
As you might have heard or read in local newspapers recently after the close of the 2002 Minnesota State
Legislative Session, our state elected officials have once again been unable to pass legislation that
provides a suitable amount of long-term funding to solve Minnesota's transportation system crisis.
The current backlog of transportation needs is estimated at $10 billion statewide and growing and NO
TRANSPOR TA TION BILL WAS PASSED THIS YEAR!
Despite the best efforts of the Minnesota Transportation Coalition and other business and transportation-
ficant amount of transportation investment for our
oriented groups, we are again looking for a signi
region's aging roadway and transportation systems. At the top of this list are two of the region's most
significant pieces of infrastructure- the expansion and reconstruction of Interstates 494 and 35W,
which remain unfunded in the region's Year r 2020 plan due to staggering price tags which increase
each year of further funding delay.
It is time for the residents, business leaders and suburban communities around I-494 and I -35W to take
action. Your participation in a new, non-profit organization called MOVE will "speed up" transportation
funding in these corridors to ensure the long-term economic survival of our communities and the region.
Your membership in MOVE will provide for quality legislative representation in St. Paul and in
Washington, D.C., and will put our elected officials "on notice" that our transportation projects must be
their first priority. Your commitment to MOVE will ensure that upcoming local elections across the
region will bring forth candidates on both sides of the aisle committed to providing adequate
transportation system funding for the future.
A brochure that provides more specific details on MOVE membership and how you can make a
difference is enclosed for your convenience. Please take a few minutes to read the brochure and to fill out
and send in your MOVE membership application today. Nothing will be accomplished, without a unified
voice and an intensive lobbying effort at home in Minnesota and in Washington, D.C. We can N�ait no
longer — THE TIME TO ACT IS NOW!
Should you like more information about MOVE membership benefits or upcoming programs, please feel
free to contact Ross Thorfinnson, Jr. at 612-819-1743 or email at: rthorfQaol.com.
Sincerely,
Ross Thorfinnson, Jr.

494 Corridor Commission
Meeting Minutes
June 19, 2002
Board Members Attending: Dick Allendorf, Jim Hovland, Larry Lee, Dave Lindahl,
Jan Mosman, Sue Sandahl, Barb Senness, Bruce Sylvester, Craig Larsen
Others: Rep. Ron Abrams, Patty Carlson, John Kragness, Tom O'Keefe, Dave Van
Hattum,
Motions Approved:
➢ Consent agenda items (April minutes, monthly financial report, consultant written
report) approved.
➢ I-494 Corridor Commission to invite candidates for local offices to attend future 494
Board meetings to discuss transportation issues and positions.
➢ Update Website and continue to pay hosting fee.
➢ Select only oneQit�attorney to provide counsel for the I-494 Corridor Commission
in regards to the LJR Consulting Contract.
Business Items
Tom O'Keefe (Mn/DOT): Change of Schedule on I-494 Construction Projects. Mr.
O'Keefe reported that, due to funding shortfalls, the start date for nearly every upcoming
Mn/DOT construction project in the metropolitan area will be delayed approximately 3-4
years. While I-494 remains "one of Mn/DOT's top priorities", various of its construction
projects will not commence until 2011-2012 or beyond. The addition of a third lane in
each direction between Hwys 212 and 100 will, however, stay on its existing schedule.
Mn/DOT is still seeking input on the list of deferred projects. Each member city, and
individuals, are urged to send letters stressing the importance of keeping I-494
construction on schedule. Contact Mr. O'Keefe in you would like him to make a similar
presentation to your City Council.
Rep. Ron Abrams - Chair, House Tax Comm, Future of Transportation Funding.
Rep. Abrams reported that the future of transportation funding in the House faces several
critical challenges: 1) over half of legislators signing a "No Tax Increase" pledge, 2) the
existing gas tax distribution formula that shortchanges the metro area (where traffic
problems are a huge issue), and 3) the previous lowering of license tab fees.
Rep. Abrams believes that new funding proposals will rely on increasing the gas tax to
generate more money for roads, directing the MVET to transit funding, and increasing
license tab fees in some fashion. Rep. Abrams rejects indexing the gas tax ("only one
state tax is indexed") and a referendum on creation of a metro sales tax directed to
transportation ("the metro area already pays more than it's share for transportation"). He
also stated bonding is an acceptable method of future transportation funding.
The I-494 C.C. can address the transportation funding impasse by lobbying new
legislators to be elected in Edina, Eden Prairie and Minnetonka, a new Hennepin County
Commissioner to be elected, and new leadership at Mn/DOT to be appointed by the next
Governor.
I-494 Website Updating (Van Hattum and Senness): The Board voted to continue
paying for hosting of the Website. Van Hattum reported he will work on website
updating and that a new and improved Website will be prepared by the time of the July
Board meeting and that it will be updated as necessary thereafter. A mechanism will also
be employed to track the number of hits on the site.
Miscellaneous:
➢ I-494 origin/destination Study Update (Carlson) Market Line Research has been
hired by the Met Council to do the proposed study and they will complete the study
by the end of the summer. The Board requested that the research area extend from the
airport through Plymouth.
➢ Organizational Financial Review and Expense Tracking System: rescheduled for
the July Board meeting.
➢ Padilla, Speer, Bearsley PR Project (Hovland). Met Council will provide 520,000
in matching funds for the research component of the study. Padilla, Speer, Beardsley
will outline their proposal for the research and grass-roots campaign at the July Board
meeting.
➢ TDM Outreach Plan (Van Hattum). Mr. Van Hattum shared drafts of 1) a monthly
reporting format, 2) the TDM budget for June -December, and 3) a strategic plan for
outreach to employers, property managers and commuters. Copies of each of these
documents will be e-mailed to Board members for comment and approval. Van
Hattum will also e-mail a draft letter to employers to be sent from Mayor's in each
member city.
➢ LJR Consulting. (Public meeting — not Executive Session). All members
acknowledged receipt by their cities of a letter from Lisa Raduenz notifying
members she had retained an attorney. The Commission approved hiring a single
law firm for representation. Notice of potential claim was also provided to the
League of MN Cities, insurance carrier for the Commission.
➢ Discussion of Amendment No. 2 to the Joint & Cooperative Agreement was held
over to the July meeting.
➢ Van Hattum reported on his attendance at the I-494 Busway Advisory Task Force on
6/18/02. This group will be studying I-494 busway options and opportunities.
Public input will continue through June. By the end of August, 2002, a new
proposed service and facility plan will be set forth with Met Council approval
scheduled for November, 2002 and service implementation in early 2003.
➢ A potential new start time (7:30 a.m.) for Board meetings will be discussed at the
July Board meeting.

SUBJECT: Music in Plymouth/Amphitheater
I just wanted to send the two of you a quick note to thank you and the rest of the maintenance
crew for all your hard work in getting the amphitheater in tip-top shape for the Music in
Plymouth 30' anniversary celebration. It was pretty touch and go there for a while, what with
all the rain that fell, but once it finally stopped, you scrambled to get things done on time. I
know that a lot of the work is last minute on the day of the event, and you always manage to
do a great job. And, then, of course, there's the clean up the next day, which is also taken care
of in an efficient and timely manner.
This year's event was attended by 20,000 people, and from all indications, it appears that
everyone had a wonderful time. Thanks again for the part you all played in helping to make
that happen.

Dear Members of the Plymouth Civic League:
On behalf of the entire City of Plymouth, I would like to thank you for the
many hours committed to planning and organizing the 30th anniversary
celebration of Music in Plymouth. It was a spectacular evening, one that
we all looked forward to for many months. Then, as the rainy days of June
kept coming and coming, everyone became concerned that it would
never end, but thankfully, it did, just in time for a wonderful night of music
and fireworks.
It is estimated that 20,000 people attended the event, the largest crowd
ever, and it appeared that they all had a wonderful time.
Thank you again for all your help in making the 30th anniversary of Music in
Plymouth such a grand night for everyone!
