publicize and enforce the water restrictions which the Council

2) A standardized "Mayor's letter" has been created to respond
to the many concerns we have received as a result of the
restrictions.
3) Plymouth firefighters have now covered the City once during
the weekend of June 11 -12, notifying residents of the
restrictions. Attached are two memorandums from Fire Chief
Lyle Robinson. The first implements "water patrols" to comb
the City to advise residents of the restriction, and the
second indicates that over 682 persons were advised of their
"violation." A tabulation of these notices is contained in
my office for Council information.
4) Notices have been distributed using the ADS mailboxes
throughout the community on Sunday, June 12 and Monday,
June 13.
5) An enforcement system has been developed with the assistance
of the City Attorney. This system will provide for one
warning beginning the weekend of June 18. A subsequent
violation will result in a $100 penalty to the resident,
charged against their next sewer and water bill. The Fire
Department will be implementing this program on June 18 and
19 as part of their efforts to implement the watering
restriction program.
2. MLC DISPARITY AID LAWSUIT -- Attached is an explanation of the MLC
constitutional challenge to the disparity aid section of the 1988
Omnibus Tax Bill. The MLC will be asking the court to enjoin the
State Department of Revenue from distributing $63 million of
Disparity Aid. (I -2)
3. TAX REFORM - MINNESOTA STYLE - Attached is a printout showing the
new state aids being made available to the 100 largest cities in the
state. In Plymouth, we are going to be recipients of $8,187, or
about 25¢ per capita. One the other hand, however, those folks
living in Virginia will receive $2,732,000 more in state aids, or
$278 per capita. In Hibbing, the amount is $196 per capita. Please
note that's not the total state aid they receive, but rather,
the NEW aid. Isn't tax reform great! (I -3)
4. CONFERENCE AND SEMINAR REPORT - Attached is a conference and seminar
report from Frank Boyles. Frank attended a one week public
information officer training program at the Emitsville, Maryland
Federal Emergency Management Association Training Center. The
public information officer is responsible for communications with
the media and target audiences during times of emergency, including
national disaster, train wrecks, hazardous material spills and
coincidentally, water bans. As a result of this training, and
CITY COUNCIL INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
June 16, 1988
Page 3
because of our experience with the water sprinkling ban, we have
learned that it is necessary to develop an emergency communications
program to be included in our emergency operating plan. Such a
program must be brief and concise, but provide direction in order
that we may effectively communicate essential information to the
audiences requiring that information during time of emergency. A
draft of that document will be prepared by the end of this month and
available for City Council review. (I -4)
5. "ARTS" ADVISORY COMMISSION - MINUTES OF MAY 10 - Councilmember
asiliou questioned whether or not an outside commission could
authorize the City of Plymouth to apply for an "arts sponsor and
presentor assistance grant" from the Metropolitan Regional Arts
Council. The answer to the question is "no." Outide committees do
not have the authority to "authorize" such actions. In this
Instance, the minutes do not convey the complete picture. The
attached memorandum from Mary Patterson explains some of the
background regarding this request.
Grant applications of this nature are normally sought long in
advance of the particular event or events. This is required in
order that the source of funding can be clearly identified prior to
locking into commitments for programming. As noted in Mary's
memorandum, we will not know until August whether or not funding for
this particular grant will even be made available to the City.
(I -5)
6. MINUTES:
a. Planning Commission, June 8, 1988 (I -6a)
b. Plymouth Safety Committee, June 15, 1988 (I -6b)
7. METRO WASTE CONTROL COMMISSION MEETINGS -- Each year, the
Metropolitan Waste Control Commission holds a series of community
meetings to discuss its proposed budget for the coming year. A
meeting for city officials from northwest Hennepin County and Anoka
County will be held on Thursday, June 23, 1988 at the Seasons
Restaurant, Bunker Hills Golf Course in Coon Rapids. The meeting
beginning at 7:30 a.m. will be a "Dutch treat" breakfast. A copy of
the meeting notice is attached. Councilmembers planning to attend
should contact Laurie. (I -7)
8. FEEDBACK FORMS -- Resident feedback forms turned in at the June 13
Town meeting are attached for the Council's information. As staff
members respond to each, copies will be included in the information
memo. (I -8)

metropolitan area. (I -10)
11. LMC CONFERENCE -- Communications Coordinator Helen LaFave was
co- presenter at a League of Minnesota Cities Conference workshop on
June 9 in St. Paul. At the session, entitled "Marketing Your City,"
she discussed the communications coordinator position, Plymouth's
communications plan and the promotional plans for our recycling
program and Plymouth Metrolink. About 70 people attended the
session which also featured Moorhead City Manager Robert Erickson
and MnDOT Special Projects Coordinator Michael Sobolewski.
12. COUNCIL FOLLOW -UPS:
a. Vanman /Gon ea Properties located at County Roads 9 & IS -- On
June 10, Joe Ryan inspected the Vanman and Gonyea properties
based on a recent complaint the City had received from a
neighboring business concerning the placement of fill material
on each site. According to Joe, the fill material has been
hauled away and both properties have been properly cleaned up.
The owners of the Meyer /Gonyea property have installed a snow
fence along the curb side to prevent individuals from any
further hauling or dumping on their site. Richard Vanman has
provided a berm along the front side of his property for the
same reason.

FROM: Robert G. Renner, Jr.
RE: Constitutional Challenge to the Disparity Aid Section
of the 1988 Omnibus Tax Bill
DATE: June 10, 1988
Please find enclosed an explanation of the constitutional
challenge that will be initiated by the Municipal Legislative
Commission. On May 25, 1988, the Board of Directors of the MLC
unanimously agreed to initiate the procedure of filing the
lawsuit.
I hope this explanation clarifies the constitutional questions
at issue. We will be asking the court to enjoin the Department
of Revenue from distributing $63 million of Disparity Aid
($54 million of this distribution goes to cities, the remainder
to townships).
Also enclosed is a copy of the dollar distribution of the
Disparity Aid.
If you have any questions concerning this lawsuit, please feel
free to contact me at 893 -6672.

CHALLENGE
SECTION OF THE
TAX BILL
i5oo Northland Plaza
3300 West 80th Street
Bloomington, Minnesota 55,;-
(612) 893-6650
Minnesota Constitution Article X, Section 1, reads in part:
"Taxes shall be uniform upon the same class of subjects and
shall be levied and collected for public purposes... "
(emphasis added)
Article 4, Section 26, Subd. 3 of the 1988 Omnibus Tax Bill
establishes a "disparity reduction aid" which has the effect of
"buying down" local government mill rates to approximately 128
mills. The cost of this program is $63.2 million in 1989. If the
combined mill rate of schools, counties and cities exceeds 128
mills, the State will provide disparity aid to local units of
government to be used to reduce the mill rate to 128.
This policy is not in itself unconstitutional. If the State
Legislature desires to establish a statewide maximum mill rate,
they have the constitutional authority to do so. However, the
method the Legislature adopted to distribute disparity aid creates
a nonuniform tax on the same class of subjects and is therefore
constitutionally flawed.
A nonuniform tax result occurs because disparity aid is distributed
to local units of government but the aid cannot be used to lower
the tax rate citywide or countywide or throughout the school
district but rather it can be used only to lower the tax rate
within a portion of a city, county or school district.
The result is that a taxpayer living in a home with identical
market values and receiving identical local services will pay a
higher tax rate living on the west side of the street than one
living on the east side of the street. This results in an
unconstitutional distribution, and the Court will be asked to
enjoin the distribution of these funds.

City of Smith Levy 25 mills 25 mills
County of Jones Levy 38 mills 38 mills
School District W Levy 65 mills --
School District E levy -- 75 mills
128 mills 136 mills
Because Home 12's levy exceeds 128 mills, state paid disparity aid is used
to "buy down" 10 mills. Lets assume the cost of this buydovn is $200,000,
i.e., $20D,000 of disparity aid is sent to local units of government
located in School District E to reduce the total mill rate from 138 to 128.
The law requires that this buydown be distributed to local units in
proportion to the total levy.
The City of Smith, which levies 189 of the total levy of 138 mills, would
receive 189 of the disparity aid.
189 x $200,000 - $36,000
The County of Jones, which levies 271 of the total levy, would-receive 278
of the disparity aid.
278 x $200,000 - $54,000.
School District E, which levies 559 of the total levy, would receive 559 of
the disparity aid.
559 x $200,000 - $110,000.
If the City of Smith and the County of Jones were authorized by statute to
spread this aid citywide and countywide, there would not be a
constitutional question. But the law requires that the aid be spread only
in the portion of the city and county where the mill rate exceeds 128
mills, i.e., within the boundaries of School District E.
After the distribution of disparity aid, the effective tax rates (and
equivalent mill rates) would appear as illustrated below:
Home f1 Home E2
Mill ETR Mill ETR
Rate Rate
City of Smith 25.0 .0020 23.2 .0018
County of Jones 38.0 .0030 35.3 .0027
School District E -- -- 69.5 .0055
School District W 65.0 .0050
Total 128.0 .0100 128.0 .0100
The resulting taxes will be:

City of Smith Tax $136.00 $122.40
County of Jones Tax 204.00 183.60
School District E Tax -- 374.00
School District W Tax 43 0.00
Total Tax $680.00 $680.00
The constitutional argument will be that a person residing in a $68,000
home in the City of Smith would pay a nonuniform tax for identical city
services -- $136.00 vs. $122.40.
The same person would also pay a nonuniform county tax -- $204.00 vs.
$183.60 for identical county services.
The same person would pay a unll.Q= school tax, even though the amounts are
different for the same home. Since the taxpayer is in a diffPree school
district, they are not considered within the same class of subjects and
therefore this portion of the distribution would be constitutional.

CITY OF PLYMOUTH
CONFERENCE /SEMINAR REPORT
DATE OF SEMINAR /CONFERENCE: dune 6 - dune 10, 1988
LOCATION: Federal Emergency Management Agency, Emergency Management Institute
Emmitsburg, Maryland
EMPLOYEE ATTENDING: Frank Boyles !, /
TOTAL COST: $800 (Most reimbursable by federal government)
PURPOSE /THEME OF SEMINAR:
To provide attendees with a detailed understanding of the purpose, responsibility and
function of the Public Information Officer (P.I.O.) during an emergency (natural
disaster or manmade) and to provide information on the skills required to deal with
the media, anticipate target audiences and their information needs and develop an
emergency communications plan for incorporation in the city's emergency operations
plan.
DESCRIBE BENEFIT TO EMPLOYEE /CITY:
The city provides services, many of which are informational. In the event of natural
or manmade disaster, the effectiveness of the city in getting the right information
out to the correct audiences in a timely fashion can mean saving lives, and minimizing
misinformation to the community and media.
The class taught me how to deal with the media in a crisis and noncrisis basis which
will be of benefit in our communications efforts.
I viewed a videotape that would be excellent for other department heads and City
Councilmembers to view regarding the "Commandments for Dealing with the Press." The
cost is about $50 and I intend to order.
Finally, I obtained example copies of emergency communications plans, some of which
have sample press releases incorporated for anticipated events so that the City is
ready to get clear, accurate information out quickly in the event of emergency. I
want to use these examples to develop a detailed plan for Plymouth so we will be ready
from a communications perspective for the next tornado, train derailment or even water
sprinkling restriction.
NOTE: A copy of seminar /conference educational materials should be submitted to
Administration along with this completed form no later than 5 working days after the
employee's return.
Minutes of the Arts Advisory Commission Meeting
May 10, 1988
Wayzata Administration Building
✓'
�,V
Present: Jo Buchanan, Nancy Carter, Kathy Jones, Mary Patterson, Sonja
Wartonick
'It was determined that the Commission sho-d �� rhA ���h to
apply for an arts sponsor and presenter assistance grant from the Metropolitan
Regional Arts Council. (The grant application was submitted by the May 31
deadline.)
The performing arts groups included in the grant application were:
The Ethnic Dance Theater to perform before Thanksgiving in November,
1988. Ticket prices will be $6 to $6.50 in advance, and $7.50 to $8 at
the door.
Dudley Riggs to perform in March, 1989. Ticket prices will be $3 or $4
in advance and $5 at the door.
The total cost for the two presentations will be $7,200. If we assume that
350 tickets are sold in advance for each performance, with 125 tickets sold
at the door, the total income raised would be $4,713. Assuming that the
$1,000 grant is approved, we would still need to raise $1,890 minimum.
The possibility of contacting the James J. Hill Days Committee regarding doing
a fundraiser at that event was discussed. One idea proposed was to have a
booth with sweatshirts to be decorated by squeezing paints on them. It was
felt that this activity would require minimum outlay of capital in advance if
a supplier for sweatshirts could be found, and left overs could be returned.
Our next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, June 7, at 3:30 p.m. at the
Wayzata District 284 Administration building.
Fundraising will be the major topic for the agenda, along with discussion
regarding the enhancement of other community events.
MEMO
CITY OF PLYMOUTH
3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD, PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447
D ATE: June 9, 1988
TO: James G. Willis, City Manager
FROM: Mary Patterson, Superintendent of Recreation top
SUBJECT: 1988 -89 ARTS SPONSOR AND PRESENTER ASSISTANCE GRANT APPLICATION
One of the objectives that constitutes the mission of the City of Plymouth is
human development; ". . a broad range of educational and learning, leisure
time opportunities and experiences will be offered for residents in
cooperation with other agencies in utilizing available municipal buildings and
recreation facilities." Consistent with that objective, the Plymouth Park and
Recreation Department has cooperatively sponsored performing arts
presentations with the Art Center of Minnesota and Wayzata District 284
Community Education Services for the last two years.
In January of 1986, on an experimental basis, LeBefana, performed by In the
Heart of the Beast Puppet and Mask Theatre, was offered at Wayzata Senior High
auditorium. The attendance was encouraging, and the organizations applied for
an arts sponsor and presenter assistance grant for the 1987 -88 season. A
grant of $1,000 was approved and funded, to help cover the artist fees for
performances of "Family" by the Illusion Theater in October, 1987, the "Home
Town Holiday Concert and Art Show" in December, 1987, and a performance by the
World Tree Puppet Theater in February, 1988. Again, community response was
encouraging.
The coordinating staff people from the three sponsoring agencies determined
that if cultural arts programs were to continue, additional input was needed.
Therefore, a list of people who might be interested in promoting arts
programming was compiled. An organizational meeting was held on February 23,
1988. There are currently 12 members of the advisory commission (see attached
list).
The Arts Advisory Commission members agreed that continuing cultural arts
programming in the Plymouth - Wayzata area was a desirable goal, and that they
would be willing to promote and support such events. The recommendation was
to pursue grant funding of an additional $1,000 to help subsidize
performances by two groups in 1988 -89.
The grant application was completed and submitted to the Metropolitan Regional
Arts Council by the May 31, 1988 deadline. The performing groups selected for
the two performances are: the Ethnic Dance Theater for November, 1988, and
Dudley Riggs for March, 1989. The total cost of these two groups is $7,200.
In my estimation the Arts Commission will need to raise approximately $2,000
in order to support this project.
The decision regarding the funding of this grant will not be made until
August, 1988. If our application is approved and funding is offered, the City
is under no obligation to accept.
If I do not hear from you to the contrary, I will assume that we should
continue to seek funding and cooperate with other agencies in the cultural
arts program area.

COMMUNITY NEED
21. How will this activity stimulate the artistic development of the community to be served by this project?
By facilitating family attendance at a wide variety of locally held cultural events,
we hope to stimulate interest in performing arts opportunities currently in place
in our communities. With the added interest stimulated, we would also be able to
add to programs currently offered in our area. It is our belief that positive
exposure would encourage participants to explore the myriad of performances outside
of our community in the greater metropolitan area as well.

submitted, with the following suggested changes and cor-
rections as noted by Commissioner Marofsky:
Page 109: Vice Chairman Plufka opened the Public Hear-
ing; page 112, 7th paragraph: Commissioner Marofsky
clarified the Motion for Commissioner Tierney. Commis-
sioner Zylla inquired if this developer should be
responsible . . .; page 113, 3rd paragraph: The first
being the setback . . . and the second item was the
variance for two principal huildinqs on a single site.
No variance for a setback could be accomplished, since
they would be restricted . . . ; page 114, 2nd para-
graph: There was no one present to speak on this item,
the Public Hearing was closed.
Commissioner Stulberq asked that when the Minutes are
published, the basis for denial as given by any Commis-

Chairman Pauba introduced the request by Edward Johnston,
for "Deerwood Trail ". An overview of the June 1, 1988 Plan-
ning Staff Report was provided by Coordinator Dillerud, who
explained that approval must be granted by the Commissioner
of Natural Resources for Planned Unit Development (PUD)
projects within the Shoreland Overlay District.

Coordinator Dillerud also discussed Item 24 -C of the
Engineer's Memorandum reqardina the Evergreen Lane and 4Sth
Avenue North cul -de -sacs. Engineer Harrison discussed the
Engineering Department suggested street design. He
explained that this design would create very shallow lots,
and would not be practical.
Commissioner Marofsky inquired if a connection could be made
for Evergreen Lane with the cul -de -sac at Goldenrod Lane.
He is concerned that without a north /south through street,
it produces a problem for emergency vehicle access to the
development area. He inquired if the Engineer had shown the
plan to the Public Safety Director. Coordinator Dillerud
stated he had discussed this with the Public Safety repre-
sentative to the Development Review Committee, and that
this was a concern that has been considered.
Commissioner Stulberg inquired whether the Commission would
in fact be granting a waiver to the PUr1 size requirement.
Wouldn't they rather, if recommending approval, be granting
a variance from the PUD Attributes. Coordinator Dillerud
agreed this would be the case.
Commissioner Stulberq inquired if a conventional plat was
considered during the staff review. He noted this would
require variances, but, he believes these would be less
signifcant than the Variance from the Planned Unit Develop-
ment provisions of the Zoning Ordinance.
Coordinator Dillerud stated that staff did not consider this
alternative, however, the petitioner probably did. Coordin-
ator Dillerud presented slides taken of the property that
showed the existing development surrounding this property.
Chairman Pauba introduced Mr. Fran Hagen, Westwood Planning
& Engineering, representing the petitioner.
Mr. Hagen addressed the cul -de -sac design. They reviewed
the arrangement proposed by the Engineering Department dur-
ing the early stages of development review. There was
concern with this because of the impacts to the lots, some
of which would lose needed depth; and, a resulting 15 ft.
rear yard would not be conducive to building a quality home
such as that planned by this developer. They also reviewed
taking Evergreen Lane to 48th Avenue, and out on Goldenrod
Lane. Utility and right -of -way easements were granted to
the City with the original lot arrangement. A trail ease-
ment was also granted in advance. This concept is now
beyond the point of more change or redesign because of the
services already installed. The petitioner would lose one
lot for which he has already been assessed.

Planning_ Commission Hinutes
June S, 19.55
Mr. Haq_en stated that the plan accomplished what the resi-
dents in this area want: To prevent more traffic coming
into the neighborhoods; and to provide housinn that is
complimentary to the surrounding developments. He stated
they would abide by any decision made by the Department of
Natural Resources (DNR) and he noted what lots would be
affected. He stated that this development plan responds to
problems of street alignment that perhaps was not handled
correctly with other subdivisions in the area. This
property owner has responded to those concerns and had
previously dedicated easements and riqht -of -way so that the
surrounding development could occur.
Commissioner Marofsky inquired about what open space was
proposed for this PUD. Mr. Hagen stated that no additional
open space is contemplated with this plat; at the time the
original preliminary plan approval was granted, the trail
easement was provided.
Commissioner Stulberq inquired if they had considered plat-
ting conventionally? Mr. Hagen stated there would be too
many variances and would create too many shallow lots.
Variances would need to be granted for 3/4 of the lots.
He stated that this remanant parcel represents infill
development and the plan matches the existing development in
this area. The petitioner, because he had gained previous
preliminary plat approval, believed this plan could go
through as a final plat. However, Citv staff advised that
the previous preliminary plat approval had expired.
Commissioner Stulberq inquired if the PUD Plan was selected
because it would be a better plan for the DNR? Mr. Haqen
stated it would have likely been better to process a
conventional R -1B plat from the vie" of DNR involvement.
Chairman Pauba opened the Public Hearinq.
Ron Behm, 4705 Goldenrod Lane, lives three homes south of
this property, on the lake, and is concerned about the dis-
charge of surface water. He talked to the Engineering
Department who explained there will be a new storm sewer
from this property to Schmidt Lake and that catch basins
would be installed. He explained the sedimentation problems
near his property from development to the east and south of
his home, and that the City has had problems cleaning out
the sedimentation. He inquired why this project could not
be served through the new system, instead of part of the
service coming from the existing system. He stated that the
City has done a poor job with controlling sediment from
property under construction entering storm sewers and beinq
deposited in Schmidt Lake.
Mr. Hagen explained the drainage flow and the erosion
control methods that will be used, a temporary sedimentation
basin will be in use until 80% of the area has natural
ground cover.
Page 123
Planning_ Commission Minutes
June 8, 1988
Engineer Harrison explained the need for natural drainage
flow that stays within the existing topography. Mr. Behm
inquired about the connection of the catch basin to the
main. Engineer Harrison stated this would require Goldenrod
Lane to be lowered which would be contrary to the City
Policy regarding storm drainage flow to be consistent with
existing topography.
Mr. Behm stated that the Department of Natural Resources
told him that the "City of Plymouth is not monitoring this
area very well."
Roger Redmond, 11735 48th Place North, lives on the north
side of the proposed development and believes this is a good
plan. He stated that the Planninq Commission should favor
the plan as submitted and that it will be an enhancement to
the neighborhood.
Richard Nov, 4875 Evergreen Lane, stated he supports this
plan, but does not support any plan that would show Ever-
green Lane as a "dogleg ", such as the alternative Engineer-
ing Department proposal shows.
David Dubke, 4710 Goldenrod Lane, stated this is a good plan
and he concurs with the traffic pattern as proposed. He
does not want Goldenrod Lane extended north. He favors the
trail connection and believes this proposal is good for the
neighborhood.
Rick Montgomery, 11445 48th Avenue North, lives at the end
of 48th Avenue North, and noted that there is a traffic
problem on 48th Avenue. Everqreen Lane has no traffic
problem. He is concerned for the children's safety, as
people tend to drive very fast on 48th Avenue, and, more
people will compound the problem. He stated that the street
design proposed by the City Engineer has merit.
Chairman Pauba suggested that if speeding cars, which more
than likely are driven by people from those neighborhoods,
are the problem, the Police Department should be contacted.
Mr. Montgomery stated that it is not the neighborhood
drivers and the Police Department has been called because of
the speeders. They want a "Dead -End" sign for 45th Avenue
North. Engineer Harrison stated he authorized that sign
today.
James Maas, 4850 Evergreen, is in favor of the Evergreen
Lane cul -de -sac. Without it, this neighborhood could have
another Zachary Lane. 48th Avenue does get some traffic,
but so does Evergreen Lane. He noted other problems at 48th
and Balsam.
Page 124
Planninq Commission Minutes
June 6, 1985
Greq Thissen, 11510 47th Avenue North, stated he lives at
47th and Balsam Lane. The problem with this circulation, is
that the traffic problem will be moved over to 47th Avenue
North and never solved. The development plan is fine, how-
ever, the traffic problem will go on, with 47th Avenue beinq
the only east /west street in this area.
Joan Evans, 4890 Cottonwood Lane, stated she is a new resi-
dent of Plymouth and is glad to see this plan as proposed,
especially with regard to the cul -de -sacs. She would have
been concerned if a through - street had been required. She
is concerned about the alignment for Schmidt Lake Road; and,
inquired about the development signs in that area.
Chairman Pauba explained that two development proposals, on
this agenda as Public Hearinos, are in the vicinity of
Schmidt Lake Road (extended).
Chairman Pauba closed the Public Hearing.
MOTION by Commissioner Marofsky, seconded by Commissioner MOTION TO DENY
Stulberg, to recommend denial of the Planned Unit Develop-
ment Concept Plan, Preliminary Plan /Plat, Conditional Use
Permit and Variance on the basis that it does not meet the
PUD provisions of the Zoning Ordinance for suitably located
recreational open space or public common open space; and,
does not make efficient or effective use of streets.
Commissioner Wire spoke against the Motion, in that a
conventional plat would require many variances; and, the
plan as proposed is complimentary to the existing develop-
ment in this area.
Commissioner Marofsky stated that to call this a PUD with
its connotations (no public open space area) and design,
does a disservice to the Planned Unit Development provisions
of the Ordinance, and it would be better to grant variances
for a conventional plat. He agrees with Engineer Harrison
concerning the street design, and reiterated his concern
regarding access for emergency vehicles.
Commissioner Plufka stated his opposition to this project
as a Planned Unit Development. Traffic must be served
efficiently; and, the project is contrary to the City's own
Shoreland Management regulations.
Chairman Pauba stated this is a difficult piece of land for
development, however, from a planning standpoint, this pro-
posal is not appropriate for PUD status.
Commissioner Tierney stated she is not convinced that Ever-
green Lane and 48th Avenue North should not be connected.
Roll Call Vote. 5 Ayes. Commissioner Wire, Nay. MOTION VOTE - MOTION CARRIED
carried.

Chairman Pauha introduced the request by Northwood Gas
Company. An overview of the June 2, 1985 Planning Staff
Report was provided by Coordinator Dillerud.
Commissioner Marofsky asked for a clarification regarding
accessory buildings and structures that are indicated and
approved as part of a Site Plan. Should this then be a
request for a Site Plan Amendment? Coordinator Dillerud
noted that this building was built prior to the Ordinance
provisions for Site Plans and therefore, there is no
approved site plan to amend.
Commissioner Wire inquired if the site circulation had been
taken into account with the decision to locate the
dispenser.
Coordinator Dillerud stated the location at the front of the
site is preferable and the least difficult drivers approach-
ing the refueling unit. Other vehicles waiting for service
further into the site would conflict with the proposed side
yard location.
Chairman Pauba introduced Mr. Rob Carlson, representing the
petitioner. Mr. Carlson noted that the propane dispenser is
best installed at a full- service gasoline facility, as this
lends to safety, proper maintenance, and better customer
service. They have heard many of Koepps customers that a
dispenser is needed at this location. Even though the pro-
posal calls for a different location for the dispenser on
the site, this can be worked out so that the City's
conditions are met.
Chairman Pauba opened the Public Hearing, as there was no
one present to speak on this item, the Public Hearing was
closed.
NORTHWOOD GAS CO.

(88024)
MOTION by Commissioner °lufka, seconded by Commissioner MOTION TO APPROVE
Wire, to recommend approval for Northwood Gas Company for a
Conditional Use Permit for Koepps Service Center, for the
installation of a propane gas dispenser, subject to the
conditions as listed in the June 2, 1988 staff report.
Roll Call Vote. 6 Ayes. MOTION carried.
Chairman Pauba introduced the request by Thomas Graham and
an overview of the June 2, 1988 Planninq Staff Report was
provided by Coordinator Dillerud. He explained the areas of
concern regarding this development and noted that the
petitioner has retained a Professor from the University of
Minnesota who has made recommendations regarding his obser-
vations concerning the retention of trees.
Chairman Pauba inquired if there were any way the Howard
property could be brought into this plat. Coordinator
Dillerud stated he had no information concerning this and
the petitioner could answer that question.

Oune S, 195',
Chairman Pauba introduced Thomas Graham, who introduced Mike
Gair, Gair & Associates. Mr. Graham stated the cost to
include the Howard property in this plat was prohibitive.
Mike Gair explained the background for this project. He
stated that Dr. French of the University of Minnesota, who
is a plant expert, had taken a walkinq tour of the entire
site. He noted an area of younq trees which include Cotton-
woods, Aspen, Elm, and varieties of shrub. The slope areas,
which have never been touched, offer more valuable
resources, such as White Oak and Red Oak. Some of these
trees are over 100 vears old. Dr. French made suggestions
regardinq the placement of house pads and mapped the areas
where no heavy equipment would be allowed, to assure that
the valuable trees will not be lost.
The continuation of Schmidt Lake Road and Zachary Lane was
discussed. The topography and woodlands dictate the points
of access. The southwest portion of the site has the large
lots that meet the requirement for saving substantial
natural vegetation and marsh area. 58% of the lesser vege-
tation will be retained and 100° of the hardwoods will be
saved.
Mr. Gair discussed the Engineer's Memorandum, specifically
Item H, that states the roadway gradinq for Schmidt Lake
Road would be the responsibility of the developer. He
stated that the developer would not be doing the grading.
This will be a City project.
Mr. Gair stated the lots meet or exceed the Ordinance
requirement. Dr. French will be involved in the construc-
tion phase; retaining walls will be used; erosion control
will be strict; pad adjustments will be made where neces-
sary; and, snowfence will be placed to assure there will be
no heavy equipment in the wooded areas to be retained.
Mr. Graham stated he only uses contractors who are familiar
with the area. Evergreens wil be planted to provide screen-
ing from Schmidt Lake Road.
Chairman Pauba inquired about the Robinson property and
their options for access. He stated that Mrs. Robinson
contacted him and that she was shocked to see that a new
drive was provided to the back of their garage and she was
not happy with this situation.
Mr. Gair stated the drive currently extends to Zachary
Lane. The property will front on new 51st Avenue North, and
ultimately there will be an adjustment made to the location
of the garage. Mr. Graham stated the the attorneys for both
parties have discussed this and they will pay the cost for
relocating the garage. He believes the concerns have been
resolved.

Commissioner Marofsk� inquired if the\ would plat the road
alignments and complete lots with this plat, showing only
remnant lots for "Wild Wings "?
Mr. Graham explained the agreement with DeVries Builders.
They will seek preliminary plat approval with the condition
that reflects the relationship to Wild Wings 2nd Addition to
the north for final platting of both proposals.
Commissioner Marofsky noted concern that if approval is
granted for that property south of Schmidt Lake Road, there
could be limited access to Wild Wings 2nd Addition until the
plattinq activity is completed for Zachary Heights.
Mr. Graham stated that the projects are interdependent, road
right -of -way and assessments will be a burden shared by both
developers. Neither development can occur without the other
and both have accepted the conditions of approval.
Chairman Pauba opened the Public Hearing.
Dane Carroll, 10735 49th Avenue North, questioned access to
the property and to Schmidt Lake Road. This means the road
is "a given" and this seems to be a "big switch" in position
from a few years ago. He stated that the Department of
Natural Resources (DNR) is opposed to this road going
through, however, the City is going along like the road is
already there. He is concerned with Vallev Forge Lane and
access. He stated there is too much traffic here now, and
there are problems with winter drivinq because of the
hills. He maintains there is no reason for Valley Forge
Lane to go through as proposed.
Chairman Pauba noted the necessary circulation for traffic
in and out of all neighborhoods in this area.
Mr. Carroll stated the residents living here now won't use
Schmidt Lake Road, and that 46th Avenue North is too heavily
trafficked to take on any more. He stated that the City had
stated there would be no road, and that development would
not occur in this area.
Commissioner Marofsky stated that if the DNR does not
approve the road alignment, there will be no road.
Sandra Lester, 10805 49th Avenue North, stated that from
information she received, she understood that Schmidt Lake
Road would not go through. She is concerned about cutting
trees, but is even more concerned about the road cutting
through the wetland, and believes there must be an alterna-
tive route through higher ground. She stated that the resi-
dents of Wild Wings put out alot of money to live there and
do not want Schmidt Lake Road built in this area.

Coordinator Dillerud explained the consulting traffic
engineer's traffic analysis and that an Environmental Asses-
sment Worksheet had been prepared and submitted, a Negative
Declaration appeared in the Environmental Ouality Board
(EOB) Monitor on May 30, 1988, and the comment period is
through June 30, 1989.
Commissioner Plufka noted that this is not a forum for the
evaluation of Schmidt Lake Road, the Planninq Commission is
reviewinq this development proposal and will give their
recommendation to the City Council. The Commission apprec-
iates the residents' concerns, however, the construction of
Schmidt Lake Road is not before the Commission this eveninq.
Commissioner Marofsky, stated that the City's Thoroughfare
Guide Plan has shown the future extension of Schmidt Lake
Road for a number of years, however, a newer report, as
approved by City Council, shoes a change in its alignment.
Mr. Thomas Graham stated he doesn't like the dedicated
alignment for Schmidt Lake Road any more than the residents
do.
Ms. Lester reiterated she was told time and time again that
the "road won't be there ".
Coordinator Dillerud stated that he was involved with the
Thoroughfare Guide Plan 14 years ago, and the alignment for
Schmidt Lake Road was on that Plan.
Mary Glemming, 4900 Yorktown Lane, stated he acknowledges
that the Schmidt Lake Road alignment appears on City Plans,
however, if the road is not built, or not built as proposed,
how would this affect these plats?
Commissioner Plufka explained that the developers would he
required to redesign the lot layout and replat the property.
Coordinator Dillerud explained that Valley Forge Lane is a
minor collector corridor and its connection would be
mandatory.
Mr. Mary Glemming stated he talked with a contractor who had
walked the property and who had wanted to develop the
property, but felt "there was no way you could ", because
of the lowland, water, and the presence of peat, which would
not support any development. Mr. Glemming asked how it
could be that one contractor can see that development should
not occur and another cannot. He stated this total area is
of great environmental concern and the City is goinq ahead
when others have said they should not. He believes that
Schmidt Lake Road will carry more traffic than County Roads
9 or 10.
Page 129
Planning Commission Minutes
June 5, 1985
Mr. Glemminq had concern regardinq the steep topoaraph\. He
stated that even though heavv equipment would riot be working
in the woodlands, the root structures would be affected. He
requested that the "shaded" areas as shown on the graphics
become an outlot. He discussed the present City services
such as snow plowing and road maintenance. He stated that
these services are "poor" because the City . . . "is forqing
ahead with development, and the residents are paying a heavy
price ".
Chairman Pauba stated that the City does not put out bids
for development, the land is privately owned and developed
under the Ordinance provisions of the City.
Ms. Lester stated that the areas of secondary vegetation are
important for screening her home. These trees were planted
at the time the area was losing its Elms to Dutch Elm
disease. This new growth may not be important to the
developer, but it is important to her. She pointed out that
City maps are in error concerninq 49th Avenue, which ends at
her property, and inquired if there is a proposal to put
49th through?
Coordinator Dillerud acknowledged that the maps should be
corrected and that he will recommend to the City Manager
that the City consider vacation of that half of the right -
of-way.
Noel Olson, 4920 Zachary Lane, inquired about the impact of
new development on water useaqe.
Engineer Harrison explained the sizinq of the water system
for new development. He stated that if the zoning is
changed, the City reviews utility plans regardinq urban
services. Mr. Olson stated there is a severe water problem
and he is concerned that "Plymouth can't keep up ". Engineer
Harrison stated that there is a new well on -line, and
another to be completed in six months to a year. The
drought is an unforeseen occurrence and to triple the amount
of water used is not the norm.
Mr. Thomas Stenoien, 10510 49th Avenue, said that he has
made the same observations as Mr. Glemming, and can't help
but talk about what he sees as the City's bias toward
development. It permeates the planning department and City
employees. He is upset by the mind frame where development
is "ordained and blessed as soon as the City can build it."
He noted that the Thoroughfare Guide Plan is 25 years old,
and it was the way things were done then, that wetlands were
routinely filled. The City seems to use only existing data
and plans by mechanical and mathmatical calculations; how-
ever, planners should have vision and demonstrate now, how
the City will plan for the future.

He noted that the map on the Property Owner Notice is not
current and many residents may have staved at home because
the current information was not available to them.
Commissioner Plufka stated that the only sure way to prevent
development of property is for the City to buy that property
and hold it in perpetuity. The right of a property owner to
develop and /or sell his property to a developer is inherent,
as long as that property owner complies with the City's
regulations for development.
Carla Dobson, 5000 Yorktown Lane, lives at the top of the
hill that overlooks the wildlife area and is concerned that
the wildlife habitat is going to be destroyed. She asked
that at least 3 acres be conserved for wildlife and natural
vegetation. She does not believe that urban development
need displace all wildlife.
Chairman Pauba explained the natural areas to be conserved.
Commissioner Marofsky noted that a landowner could remove
all the trees and farm the land; however, this developer is
providing conservation of natural areas.
Mr. Thomas Graham stated they intend to also plant
additional spruce trees for screeninq along Schmidt Lake
Road.
Rose Spoolman, 11259 50th Place North, stated she had talked
with the Engineering Department about the design for Valley
Forge Lane, however, she is now concerned that if Schmidt
Lake Road does not go through, Valley Forqe Lane would be
the major access to this property. She stated it makes no
sense not to cul -de -sac Valley Forge Lane, otherwise it will
carry too much traffic.
Marge Rennekko, 10440 49th Avenue North, stated she under-
stands the developers rights and has talked to Mr. DeVries
who stated he would work within the guidelines of the DNR
and Army Corps of Engineers. She noted that the City
Council, by a Motion made by the Mayor and Councilmember
Zitur, directed staff to prepare and submit an Environmental
Assessment Worksheet for this development prior to approving
the Final Plats. She stated that the City Council has no
intention for Mr. DeVries or Mr. Graham to receive approvals
for their developments without Schmidt Lake Road.
Commissioner Plufka stated the Commission is fully aware
of the City Council's direction concerning the construction
of Schmidt Lake Road.
Ms. Rennekko stated that there will be a road on each side
of her home and she encourages everyone to read the Environ-
mental Assessment Worksheet. She believes the City should
have considered her home when they made a decision that a
major highway would be going by.

Mr. Dane Carroll stated that no
one is askinq
for
Schmidt
Lake Road,
so why is the City
so determined
to
have it?
There is no
value to this road.
There have been
no
improve-
ments made
to Zachary Lane or Bass
Lake Road, but
the City
has spent a
large amount of money
on County Road
9.
The Chairman explained the construction of County Road 9 and
any improvements to Bass Lake Road (County Road 10) are
Hennepin County projects.
Mr. Carroll stated that roadway plans should not be a
given. The City should ask who wants this road.
Dale Rehkamp, 4865 Saratoga Lane, stated his observations on
a process where the Thoroughfare Guide Plan is treated with
such reverence. Counting trees is held to be more important
than dredging the wetland and pouring a road in an area
where it does not belon. This is ironic and frustrating.
The developers do seem to care, but the City should take a
look at its process.
Commissioner Plufka stated that development requires that
adequate traffic circulation be provided; that road connec-
tions be established that will get the residents to and from
their homes in the most efficient manner possible. This
plat layout is in accordance with the Citv's Thoroughfare
Guide Plan and the developer has taken into consideration
the direction given by the City Council concerning the
Schmidt Lake Road extension. The Planning Commission is
reviewinq the plat under current Ordinance standards and
making their recommendation to the City Council based on
those standards. The concerns related by the residents this
evening, are part of the record, and will be read by the
City Council.
Commissioner Marofsky stated he is aware of one instance
when the Thoroughfare Guide Plan was altered. He advised
the residents to submit their concerns to the City Council,
if the Council wishes, the Planning Commission will review
any and all changes proposed to the City's Comprehensive
Plan.
Chairman Pauba closed the Public Hearing and called a Recess RECESS
at 10:30 P.M.
Chairman Pauba reconvened the meeting at 10:36 P.M.
MOTION by Commissioner Wire, seconded by Commissioner MOTION TO APPROVE
Stulberg to recommend approval for the Rezoning and Prelim-
inary Plat for Graham Development Company, subject to the
conditions as listed in the June 2, 1998 staff report, high-
lighting Condition No. 1., Compliance with the City
Engineer's Memorandum, with emphasis on Item 24 -B., "that
Page 132

the Environmental Assessment Hkorksheet (EA�0 shall be
completed for Schmidt Lake Road and the Department of
Natural Resources (DNR) Permit is issued for Schmidt Lake.
Road prior to a final plat being submitted for Council
consideration."
Coordinator Dillerud confirmed for Commissioner Plufka that
the plat would need to be redesigned and reprocessed if
Schmidt Lake Road were altered; and, that the character of
Valley Forge Lane would change if a DNR permit to cross the
wetland with the construction of Schmidt Lake Road was not
granted.
MOTION to Amend by Commissioner Marofskv, seconded by Com-
missioner Wire, to add Condition No. 10. That a determina-
tion be made by the City Attorney and the City Council how
street right- of -wav is to be provided north of Schmidt Lake
Road to properties to the north and east of Schmidt Lake
Road. Condition No. 11. The Development Contract shall
reflect that the development of Lots 12 through 19, Block 1,
shall follow Dr. French's recommendations and that he shall
supervise and guarantee there shall be no removal of hard-
wood trees.
The Commission discussed bond requirements. Coordinator
Dillerud confirmed the approval is for 53 single family lots
and five outlots and covers the remnant parcels.
Roll Call Vote on the Amendment. 6 Ayes. MOTION carried.
Roll Call Vote on the Main Motion as once Amended. 6 Ayes.
MOTION carried.
Chairman Pauba introduced the request by John DeVries and an
overview of the June 1, 1988 Planning Staff Report was pro-
vided by Coordinator Dillerud.
Coordinator Dillerud pointed out the variance for the
Trenton Lane cul -de -sac that would be over 500 ft. in
length.
Commissioner Stulberg inquired if Condition No. 9 of the
recommendation approving the Graham Development would be
added as Condition No. 10, only shown in reverse? Coordina-
tor Dillerud stated this would be the case. Commissioner
Stulberg requested that the record reflect this recommenda-
tion by staff.
Chairman Pauba introduced Mr. Bob Smith, Hedlund Engineer-
ing, representing the petitioner. Mr. Smith discussed the
areas of concern by the Army Corps of Engineers and DNR; he
pointed out the natural grasslands, treelines, ponding and
the limitations to development in this area. He explained
the covenants required for the protection of the wetland;

and, the request for setback variances required for uni-
formitv of lot layout; and, the 900 ft. cul -de -sac. He pro-
vided background from other developments that were granted
setback variances of 30 ft., (Quail Ridge, Harrison Hills,
and others) rather than the 35 ft. required by Ordinance.
Chairman Pauba opened the Public Hearing. The hearing
registration cards were read, and the names were those who
spoke at the Public Hearing for Graham Development and they
were no longer present. The Public Hearinq was closed.
Commissioner Wire inquired about 51st Avenue North. If
there were no DNR approvals granted, it would seem that this
project should have access to the east. A mix of residen-
tial and industrial traffic could be a problem. It would
seem, however, that a connection into the industrial area
would still be the better choice. The truck traffic, for
the most part, would be going east to County Road 18, not
back into the neighborhoods.
Commissioner Marofksy agreed. If Schmidt Lake Road does not
go through, a connection east would cut back the length of
the 51st .Avenue North cul -de -sac and would give the develop-
ment alternative access. If the 51st Avenue North connec-
tion were to the industrial zoned property, he did not
believe it would be used as a short -cut for truck traffic;
and, to further assure this, signs could be erected pro-
hibiting truck traffic onto residential streets.
Mr. Dane Carroll, 10735 48th ,Avenue North, returned to the
meeting and requested to speak on this item. He noted his
concern with a 51st Avenue North connection. Traffic from
County Road 18 west would be a problem, and street connec-
tions into the industrial areas will create natural
short -cuts.
Engineer Harrison pointed out the proposed street right -of-
way and connections to the east.
MOTION by Commissioner Plufka, seconded by Commissioner MOTION TO APPROVE
Stulberg to approve the Rezoninq and Preliminary Plat for
John DeVries, subject to the conditions listed in the June
1, 1988 staff report; and, that Condition No. 9 from the
Graham Development recommendation be appropriately re- worded
and added as Condition No. 10 of this recommendation, and
emphasizing Condition No. 1, Item 24 -A. of the Engineer's
Memorandum, "that the DNR Permit be issued for Schmidt Lake
Road prior to a Final Plat being submitted for Council
consideration."
MOTION by Commissioner Marofsky, seconded by Commissioner MOTION TO AMEND
Wire, to Amend the Main Motion adding a condition that the
road easement for 51st Avenue North should be extended
through to the intersection with Saratoga Lane.
Page 134
Planninq Commission Minutes
3une S, 1985
Discussion of the right -of -way for 51st Avenue ensued. Com-
missioner Stulberg stated concern that new residents would
believe they are buyinq a lot on a quiet cul -de -sac, and, in
the future, it becomes a busy through street.
Commissioner Marofsky stated the development sign would shoe
the proposed through street even if it were not constructed.
Commissioner Plufka spoke against the Amendment. He stated
that the Commission and the City will be lookinq at this
proposal again. If the DNR does not approve Schmidt Lake
Road, these questions and concerns will be discussed and
reviewed again. If Schmidt Lake Road goes through, there
would be no reason for a connection to 51st Avenue North.
This access would not be wanted or needed for the develop-
ments proposed.
Precedence for cul -de -sacs exceeding the 400 ft. standard
was discussed by Commissioner Tierney and Coordinator
Dillerud. Engineer Harrison noted there would be no more
homes than on a "normal length" cul -de -sac, as this develop-
ment would be losing one side of lots.
Roll Call Vote on the Amendment. 2 Ayes. Commissioners
Stulberg, Tierney, Plufka, and Chairman Pauba, Nay. MOTI011
failed.
Commissioner Marofsky stated that if Schmidt Lake Road is
not constructed as the new alignment shows, there would be
no other choice. It could not be moved south as development
is complete to the south. This is the best configuration.
Commissioner Wire suggested that the Thoroughfare Guide Plan
be updated and that the Planning Commission be advised when
there are any plans for road construction in low land areas
that contain wetlands: That the Guide Plan reflect that
roadways be planned for terrain that would be the least
affected by road construction.
Coordinator Dillerud noted that in the next two years, the
City is charged with upgrading, updating, and revising the
Guide Plans. He concurred with Commissioner Wire's recom-
mendation as to locating thoroughfare alignments with sensi-
tivity toward existing terrain features.

Coordinator Dillerud showed slides of the area of the
property about which residents of Cimmarron East had some
concern. Mr. Lavander reiterated that this area was not on
his property, but easterly of his site.
The Commission reviewed the concerns regardinq the retaining
wall and inquired if Mr. Lavander would construct a better
retaining wall if it were required.
Commissioner Tierney stated her concern about the potential
hazard to children who could fall from this steep retaining
wall, especially since there is such a gentle slope to one
side and it is so precipitous on the other.
Page 136

Mr. Lavander stated he does not envision using a steep drop
and would provide plans for the retaining wall if the City
wants it replaced.
MOTION by Commissioner Marofsky, seconded by Commissioner
Stulberg to recommend approval of the Site Plan for Caliber
Development, subject to the conditions as listed in the May
16, 1988 staff report, adding Condition No. 11. Replace the
existing retaining wall on this property with good quality
construction and materials as reviewed and approved by City
staff.
Commissioner Stulberg stated that it would be his
recommendation that this approval be granted
administratively by City staff.
Coordinator Dillerud stated that if a retaining wall of more
than 3 to 4 ft. in height were to be built, the Commission
may need to review it. The Commission and Coordinator
Dillerud agreed that staff approval would be for a 4 ft.
maximum.

Coordinator Dillerud inquired about a date for the

requested that they have one week to review these materials
prior to a meeting set to discuss these matters.
It was the concensus by the Commission to schedule a Special

Dear W
Annually at this time of the year, the Metropolitan Waste Control
Commission (MWCC) holds a series of meetings in the communities it
serves to share with them the proposed MWCC budget for the coming
year. This meeting is planned for the cities in Precinct E serviced
by the MWCC.
This year a "Dutch treat" breakfast will be held:
Date: June 23, 1988 - Thursday
Time: 7:30 a.m.
Place: Seasons Restaurant
Bunker Hill Golf Course
Hwy 242 & Foley Blvd.
Coon Rapids
We will be discussing the proposed budget for 1989. If the
Metropolitan Waste Control Commission adopts a budget which is among
those currently under consideration to control costs, it may result in
possibly delaying some capital projects. If you are interested in how
such a delay may affect your community, come to the "Dutch treat"
Budget Breakfast and voice your opinion.
I hope you plan to join us. We seek your input! Please call Pauline
Langsdorf at 222 -8423 to confirm your attendance. I look forward to
seeing you on June 23.

PETITION TO DEAD END 34TH AVENUE -
The undersigned City of Plymouth g y y taxpayers, residing on or near 34th
Avenue between Xenium Lane and Northwest Boulevard, hereby Petition the City
Council of Plymouth:
WHEREAS, the undersigned purchased our residential homes on and
near 34th Avenue relying on the residential classification and usage of said road;
a-nd
WHEREAS, the City of Plymouth has allowed multiple housing projects
to be constructed west of Xenium Lane near 34th Avenue and allowed commercial
development in the area; and
WHEREAS, the City Thoroughfare Guide Plan (983) designates Xeniurrf
Lane as a minor collector street to handle the commercia nd multiple housin
traffic planned for the area; and
WHEREAS, the City Thoroughfare Guide Plan (1983) requires the
extension of Xenium Land to County Road 9 and Northwest Boulevard; and
WHEREAS, due to legal and economic factors the land across which
the Xenium Lane extensions are planned will not be developed in the immediate
future.
WHEREAS, the City has refused to 9. mmenced eminent domain
proceedings to complete the extension of Xeni m Lane to County Road 9 and
Northwest Boulevard as called for in the comprehensive plan; and
WHEREAS, the City's refusal to ;extend/Xenium Lane will result in
increased non - residential traffic usage on 34th Avenue, aced risk of
accidents, increased noise, annoyance, decreased property values, all of which are
inconsistent with our residential neighborhood.
NOW, THEREFORE, Petitioners request that the City immediately
install a temporary barricade on 34th . Avenue between the old and new
neighborhood- (or at any other suitable location) to temporarily "dead end" 34th
Avenue until the Xenium Lane extensions are completed and that the City
adequately "sign" 34th Avenue as a dead end street.
That if we, as residents of the area, are willing to live with the
inconvenience caused by this temporary dead ending, then the City and the
residents • nd tenants in the multihousing and commercial projects should likewise
accept the convenience, as it is our neighborhood that is adversely affected by
the City's fa lure to provide adequate traffic access before allowing commercial
and multihousing developments in the area.

11845 28th Avenue N
Plymouth, MN 55441
Dear John:
CITY OF
PLYMOUTF+
Thank you for your letter dated June 2, regarding the unsafe conditions along
West Medicine Lake Drive. As you know, for some time the conditions for
walking and biking along West Medicine Lake Drive have been a matter of
concern for many of us. In 1987, we had our traffic consultant, Strgar
Roscoe, prepare a report which highlighted very graphically how serious the
problem has become. We have also had a study done on cost estimates for
making various improvements south of 26th Avenue down to Highway 55. These
costs range from approximately $300,000 to $1.6 million.
In the weeks and months ahead, the Park and Recreation Advisory Commission and
City Council will be looking at alternative financing programs in order to get
some type of improvements initiated along this stretch of road. We will also
be soliciting a great deal of community input on this subject and hope that
you will find the time to attend a meeting on the subject in the future.
John, I appreciate all the work you've done for the City, and your interest in
this particular project. I've asked Eric to keep you informed of the status
of our work in this area, so that you will have every opportunity to give us
your further input. If you'd like to talk to me directly about this matter,
please give me a call at home or work.
Sincerely,
.� 377-60J'3

9525 CAIN ROAD - CORCORAN. MINNESOTA 55',41)
This fall our western Hennepin county communities will elect a new Hennepin
County Commissioner. I don't have to tell you how important it is that we
have a strong and capable voice on the county board. Tad Jude will be a
strong voice for our district and a responsible steward of county resources
if we elect him in November.
Tad has an excellent track record as a Minnesota Legislator. Two of his
strong points over the years have been his dedication to informed voting and
his tireless communication with local officials and citizens.
To help boost Tad's campaign, we are hosting a picnic at Lake Rebecca Park
Reserve. Please join us on Friday, June 24 (Rain Day - June 27) at 3 p.m. to
sundown. The park entrance is off County Road 50, south of Highway 55 near
Rockford.
Please return the enclosed card if you will be attending. We are looking
forward to seeing you there.
Sincerely,
George B. Gmach

SUBJECT PROPOSAL TO SCHEDULE MEETING
After Monday night's Town Meeting, I feel the Council needs to discuss the
pros and cons of the town meeting format or the Council's desire to
discontinue town meetings and have just the Plymouth Forum. Therefore, I am
proposing to schedule a meeting with an agenda to discuss this item and
other items Councilmembers may wish to add the agenda. The meeting could be
held at Scanticon or the Council "backroom." Two items I would add to this
meeting's agenda include my safety committee proposal and what procedure do
we follow when a concerned citizen appears before the Council in need of
help! I look forward to your suggestions and input on this meeting.

SUBJECT VARIOUS
1) Congratulations on your new Job with the League of Minnesota
Cities! It was great to see our City employees participating at the
conference - Dick Pouliot, Fred Moore, Helen LaFave and Blair
Tremere.
This year's conference was a learning situation for me.
2) Last week I noticed at Zachary Playfield, a City employee 016 on
his vest) pulling and cutting weeds under the metal fence on new
C. R. 9. It was extremely "hot" and I really appreciated his
endeavor.
3) Last Friday night, I attended portions of the ballgames at Zachary
Playfield. The refreshment stand was doing great business. The
operator was one of our Wayzata West teacher's. The only criticism
of our park was that it was extremely dusty - we need rain!
