Dear Residents:
M- `f
The City of Plymouth Park and Recreation Advisory Commission would like to
invite you to attend a public information meeting with regard to future
improvements to West Medicine Lake Drive between 26th Avenue and Highway 55.
The meeting will take place at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, August 11, in the
Plymouth City Center.
We will be addressing the long- standing issue dealing with the safety of
pedestrians and bikers along West Medicine Lake Drive. There are a number of
options available for making improvements to this stretch of roadway. We need
to solicit your input on these alternative solutions, so that the Park and
Recreation Advisory Commission and staff can make future recommendations to
the City Council on this matter.
Many of you have already called or written with regard to this subject. I
thank you for your interest in this matter and look forward to meeting with
you on August 11.
Sincerely,
Eric J. Blank
Director of Parks and Recreation

TELEPHONE (612) 559 -2800
MEMO
DATE: July 26, 1988
TO: General City Employees
FROM: James G. Willis, City Manager
SUBJECT INTERSECTION SIGHT OBSTRUCTION POLICY
For traffic safety purposes, it is important that corner lots, both public
and private, having fences, trees, shrubs and other natural features, be
controlled and maintained so as not to create a "sight obstruction" and
interfere with visibility at intersections.
Under City ordinance, a sight obstruction is defined as:
" . any fence, wall, plantings, landscaping materials, or any
other item over three feet in height above the street curb level
within twenty feet of any street right -of -way corner so as to
interfere or obstruct with traffic visibility."
The ordinance is intended to ensure that the area referred to as the "sight
triangle," is free of obstructions. To define the sight triangle of a
corner lot, measure twenty feet down each property line - not the curbline -
from the corner. Then, by connecting those points you have created the
sight triangle. It is that area which must be maintained without obstruc-
tions to ensure visibility for traffic. (See attached illustration.)
To eliminate these unsafe conditions at intersections, the attached Inter-
section Sight Obstruction policy has been developed. The policy sets guide-
lines to ensure clear sight lines at all City corners and sets forth the
enforcement steps which the City will use to correct unsafe situations.
The City Council has determined that enforcement efforts will take place on:
1) a complaint basis; or 2) where sight obstructions are observed by City
employees. This is where your assistance is requested.
All City employees should become familiar with the provisions of the sight
obstruction policy so that you can recognize and report any potential
violations. Violations are to be reported by first completing a Community
Improvement Reminder card (attached) and then submitting the card to the
City Forester, Don Kissinger. Additional Community Improvement Reminder
cards are kept in all City vehicles.
To assist you in becoming familiar with the policy, two videotape training
sessions have been scheduled for Wednesday, August 3 at 2:00 p.m. and 3:00
p.m. in the City Council conference room. An employee who drives a City
vehicle on a regular basis is required to attend one of these sessions.
INTERSECTION SIGf�r
Jule 5, 1958
Page 2
Each of us as a City employee has the responsibility for keeping the
Plymouth community the best and safe as it can possibly be. I encourage you
to participate not only in reporting sight obstructions, but any municipal
problem such as traffic sign damage, potholes, drainage problems, parking
violations, etc., using the Community Improvement Reminder card. To report
problems, other than sight obstruction violations, you should return your
completed cards to Helen LaFave, Communications Coordinator.
In addition to enhancing community maintenance efforts, the use of this card
will help to minimize liability exposure to the city. In turn, this will
help to control city insurance costs.
If, after reviewing the sight obstruction policy, you have any questions,
please contact Myra Wicklacz, Development Services Technician, at Ext. 252.

INTERSECTION SIGHT OBSTRUCTION POLICY
Tn GPnPral
Rev. 5/2/88
The City Council has determined that city code and zoning ordinance
provisions relating to sight obstructions at intersections should be
enforced to protect the public safety and reduce city liability exposure.
Because of funding limitations and personnel considerations, the Council has
directed that enforcement be undertaken on a case -by -case complaint basis.
The Council has determined that all city employees should be aware of the
sight obstruction ordinance and report all potential violations to a
centralized processing point. The Development Services Technician will
serve as the central processing point for such violations. The Forester
will assist through site inspections and follow up.
Definition

TO James G. Willis City Manager
FROM: Fred G. Moore Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: FUEL OIL CONTAMINATION
LARSON'S PHILLIPS 66
NORTHEAST CORNER HIGHWAY 55 AND WEST MEDICINE LAKE DRIVE
I have reviewed the Environmental Audi*_ which we received from Marcus Real
Estate Development Corporation for the site they proposed to develop as
the Plymouth Pointe Shopping Center. This site is in the northeast corner
of Highway 55 and West Medicine Lake Drive. Currently, there are several
existing businesses on this property, one of which is Larson's Phillips 66
Service Station.
This type of Environmental Audit is now routinely undertaken by developers
for all major developments. Under Federal hazardous waste regulations the
owner of the property at the time any hazardous waste or contamination is
discovered is responsible for removal of the hazardous waste. These
audits are prepared in order that developers will know the likelihood of
any responsibility for contamination on the land in which they are
purchasing.
This audit discovered fuel oil contamination at the Larson's Phillips 66
Service Station. It is the opinion of Braun Environmental Laboratories,
who conducted the audit, that the source of the contamination is the
underground storage tanks on this property. They further concluded that
it appears that the contamination is limited to only this site. In order
to determine the exact extent of the contamination and the required
corrective measures, additional soil borings, monitoring wells, and
laboratory analysis are required. As required by law, Braun has notified
the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency of the discovery of this
contamination.
It is my recommendation that the City Fire Marshal notify Larson's
Automotive that they immediately undertake the necessary testing and
analysis to determine the exact extent of the contamination. From this, a
plan would be developed to remove the contamination and dispose of the
contaminated materials in accordance with the required regulations. This
corrective work should also be undertaken as soon as possible.

3. VISITOR PRESENTATIONS
a. Athletic Associations. None were present at this meeting.
b. Staff. Mary Patterson presented the July /August issue of Plymouth
on Parade. She said that many of the programs offered were repeat
listings from the earlier issue, and there are a few new offerings
for late summer.
Mary stated that the the new programs, Pre - school PITS Special
Events and Have a Ball, were very popular. The staff is having a
very busy summer, with Day Camp coming up in August. Mary announced
that a decision was made to delete the swim from the Triathlon and
make it a biathlon this year because of the poor water quality.

4. REPORT ON PAST COUNCIL ACTION
a. None.
5. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
a. Community Center. Representatives from senior groups were present
to give their ideas for a senior center. Chair Edwards stated that
a top priority for the Community Center is to provide space for the
seniors, and the Commission's task is to determine what the seniors
need. Joyce McCaughey, West Medicine Lake Community Club, stated
that they have 105 -110 members and that St Mary's seniors have 40 -50
members. They need a place to meet. Commissioner Beach asked what
type of facilities they would require. Marion Bauer felt that space
for at least 150 people was necessary, plus ovens, microwaves, sink,
meeting room, and a place to play cards. She felt that the kitchen
should be separate from the party room because of noise and clutter.
Other comments were: room for classes, crafts, pool, and ping -pong.
Mable Swanson presented a petition signed by seniors in favor of a
senior center. Commissioner Rosen asked what times of the day the
seniors would utilize the space most heavily. Marion Bauer felt
that since many seniors do not drive at night, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00
p.m. would be likely hours. Commissioner Rosen stated that many
facilities, such as schools, are not available at those times, and
that other members of the community could use some of the facilities
during evening hours. This would make good use of the space. Mabel
Swanson stated that the seniors would be willing to be volunteer
staff for the facility.
Walter Schulke cautioned the Commission not to defer to special
interest groups and to determine real needs, not just desires. He
also felt that the possibility of refurbishing existing buildings or
using facilities already in place should be examined.
Arlene Johnson stated that she was against a wave pool and that as a
tax payer, she should have the right to vote on the project.
Commissioner Rosen stated that the Council would have to decide on
whether the residents would have a vote on the project.
Judy Grabham presented a petition from parents of Mach III Flyers in
support of a 50 meter pool with separate diving pool. She also
presented an article from the "Anandale Advocate" by Rudy Perpich
advocating the support of amateur sports.
Veronica Strehle presented her ideas on the need for a teen center
for teens and pre -teens to congregate in a supervised environment.
Commissioner Rosen asked Councilman Ricker for clarification on how
the Council stands on the Community Center. Councilman Ricker
stated that the $8,000,000 potential funding has not actually been
appropriated at this time, but that the council has set aside -this
money and has asked the Commission to study the real needs of the
community. The commissioners, in general, felt that the building
will have to meet the needs of the entire community, not just the

has the potential to be at least partially self
The Commissioners discussed how to proceed from here. It was agreed
that the commissioners should prepare a written statement of their
own philosophies and ideas for the center to be shared with the
others at the next meeting. Commissioners decided to hold a meeting
after the joint meeting with Council on July 25 to further discuss
the Community Center.
b. 1989 -93 CIP. Eric Blank stated that there has been an addition to
the 1989 CIP of expanded parking for Plymouth Creek Park. The
advent of the new Plymouth Athletic Association soccer program,
along with our own programs has caused a critical need for more
parking stalls. The $60,000 in the CIP would buy 45 -60 new stalls.
Chair Edwards asked if the Commission had officially recommended the
$10,000 to be given to Greenwood for the playground. Eric stated
that he was sure that was the recommendation. The commissioners
felt that the CIP should show a break -down of $20,000 for Kilmer,
$10,000 for Oakwood and $10,000 for Greenwood. Clint Strehle pre-
sented his ideas on the need for additional tennis facilities.
Commissioner Rosen asked how he would feel about charging a fee for
reserving the tennis courts to help defray the cost of having an
attendant. Clint felt this would be suitable. He would also like
to see a bubble for cold weather months. Commissioner Anderson
moved that the CIP be approved as presented. Commissioner Hanson
seconded the motion. The motion was carried with all ayes.
C. Park Usage /Cost Study - Update. Eric stated that he is working on a
study to provide information on fees for park usage. It is on the
Council agenda for July 25.
d. Parkers Lake - Update. Eric stated that the roof is up on the
pavillion. The project is a little behind schedule due to a lack of
carpenters. They should still be able to complete by the deadline.
Molly Larsen is doing research for a rental fee policy. This will
be brought back to PRAC for approval.
e. St. Mary's Neighborhood Park - Update. Eric reported that the
bridge is in and the play structure is being assembled. The only
problem right now is the heat. If things stay the same, he would
like to have the seeding wait until next spring. Commissioner Rosen
asked about tree planting. Eric indicated that the trees have not
been planted due to the dry conditions. The city has already lost
45 trees and 45 more are in jeopardy. Two tanker trucks are out
every day trying to water the trees to help them survive. It will
take about $13,000 in the 1989 budget to replace the trees that have
been lost. Chair Edwards asked how many flower gardens are planned
for Parkers Lake. Eric said we have five in at this time and will
be adding the areas around the fountain pond later this summer.

f. West Medicine Lake Road Trail - Update. Eric announced that a
letter would be going out to the area residents inviting them to the
August 11 Public Information Meeting. The Engineering staff will
present options for the roadways. Citizens will be asked for their
ideas. There is $75,000 in 1989 CIP for the project.
6. NEW BUSINESS
a. New Plats. Trenton Lane Apartments have requested new trails which
are not in the current trail system plan. They will come to the
August 11 meeting.
7. COMMISSION PRESENTATION
Chair Edwards reminded the members of the Training Meeting for Board and
Commission Members at the Brooklyn Park Community Center on Tuesday,
August 23. It was highly recommended by Mary Patterson. Commissioners
Anderson, Edwards, Rosen, and Beach would like to go. Commissioner
Hanson is unsure at this time. Commissioner LaTour is not available.
Commissioner Beach asked Eric if the city was self insured. Eric said
yes, in conjunction with the League of Minnesota Trust.

Paul Buharin, Frank Boyles
I. APPROVAL OF MAY 25, 1988 MINUTES
The Committee approved the May 25, 1988 meeting minutes as submitted.
II. REVIEW OF MAY AND JUNE RIDERSHIP STATISTICS
Paul Buharin handed out the June ridership statistics. Ridership has
strengthened during the month of June up to a monthly commuter /reverse
commuter average of 409, and internal circulator average of 41 for a
total system average of 451. On a year -to -date basis, this amounts to a
commuter /reverse commuter average of 414 versus the target of 393. The
internal circulator average is 39 per day, while the target is 45 per
day. On a total system basis, a daily average of 453 exceeds the 438
target by 3.4 %. Riders indicated that the Park and Ride lot continues
to be well used with only the expansion area available for parking.
Paul stated that the internal circulator weekly average has been much
better after school let out. Saturday and Sunday figures though, tend
to pull the average down substantially. He suggested that we:
1. Check with drivers to see whether the Saturday and Sunday riders
are the same or sporadic.
2. Determine whether times should be shifted for less weekend
service.
3. Check to see whether the low ridership is a year- around trend,
or summer only.
4. Determine whether the information at MTC bus shelters suggests
that there is no weekend internal circulator service.
5. Based upon the above information, make a recommendation on
whether:
I. service should be cut back on weekends; or
2. eliminated in total to improve the average for the
circulator; or
3. publicity improved to determine if weekend ridership can
be enhanced.

III. FOLL0W UP ITEMS FROM PREVIOUS MEETINGS
A. Roll Signs
Frank Boyles read a July 20 letter from Paul Buharin stating that
the short -term solution for the roller sign problem is to assign
buses to the same route so that afternoon commuters are not confused
about which vehicle to enter. The long -term solution is to order
electrically driven roller mechanisms for each vehicle. This will
occur during the next eight weeks for all eight Metrolink buses.
The process will be completed by October 31 according to Paul's
letter.
IV. IDENTIFICATION OF NEW AREAS OF CONCERN OR RECOMMENDATION
Riders stated that they were particularly grateful during hot weather
that the dispatcher often substitutes air conditioned over the road
coaches in place of the normal vehicles. They are also grateful when
the mini -coach air conditioning systems are functioning on such days.
They asked that this information be conveyed to the dispatcher and
maintenance persons at Medicine Lake Lines.
A comment was made that the 5:45 bus from downtown, driven by Jim, has
turned into being a 5:55 p.m. bus. Paul said he would check into this
matter.
Paul suggested that because of the major congestion leaving downtown
every day, it might be appropriate to either:
I. Reverse the direction of pickup for Metrolink and Medicine Lake
so that their is no competition with the MTC buses; or
2. Move the 4 :35 starting time back to 4:40 in hopes of allowing
the MTC buses to clear the area. After some discussion, the
Committee agreed it would be appropriate to test on a one -week
basis, leaving at 4:40 rather than 4 :35.
Prior to doing so, however, a sign would be placed in each vehicle
advising riders of the service change. In addition, riders would be
provided with a brief written summary of the objectives of the change
which Frank prepared. The objectives of the experiment are to:
I. See whether or not we can eliminate congestion and confusion
between Medicine Lake Lines and Metrolink buses and the MTC,
while

Paul will provide information on the success of this project.
V. PROMOTIONAL PLANS
A. Complimentary Newspaper - Pioneer Press - Paul stated that Monday,
August 1 is the day that complimentary Pioneer Press newspapers will
be distributed. He indicated that we have been unsuccessful in
getting distributions for other times as well.
PRAC members had a number of suggestions for future promotions,
including:
1. An additional champagne flight including pop sleeves with
Logos, pens or notebook pads, a full grand reopening
utilizing the services of Midwest Coke Bottling, a carrying
case for car keys, playing cards with the Metrolink logo, a
Christmas flower or cactus, a promotion of some sort with a
fare card, flashlights, or a screech alarm. These
suggestions will be evaluated for possible inclusion into
the upcoming marketing efforts.
The next PACT meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m., Wednesday, August 24 at City
Center.

Homes. Coordinator Dillerud advised the Commission that
this Public Hearing would be opened again on August 10,
1988, due to an error in the location of the property on
the hearing notices that were sent out and published.
He added that the petitioner was aware of this.
Coordinator Dillerud noted two concerns were which 19
lots would exceed the 20% lot coverage, and what is the
exact degree of excessive lot coverage being proposed on
each lot?
Chairman pauba introduced the petitioner, Hans Hagen,
2353 North Rice Street, St. Paul, MN. He stated that
times have changed in the last ten years since Tyrell
was first platted. People now want larger houses on the
same size lots. Mr. Hagen indicated that his request
was for up to 25% lot coverage was so that homeowners
could add decks to their homes.
Chairman Pauba asked Mr. Hagen what the problem was in
stating up front which 19 lots would exceed the 20%

maximum lot coverage? Mr. Hagen indicated they had ne
specific requests at this time, but this type of request had
been brought up in the past. Mr. Hagen added that approval
of this request would be an efficient way for citizens to
have what they wanted.
Commissioner Stulberg asked if the request was approved,
would the homeowners currently living in Tyrell be included,
or would the 20% exceeded lot coverage just include 19 un-
built lots? He added that existing homeowners will be lined
up to receive the exceeded lot coverage, and to avoid this,
the 19 lots should be specified.
Mr. Hagen indicated it world be rernDte if they were to
exceed lot coverage on more than 5 lots. He stated that the
real issue here was why was the Ordinance established in the
first place?
Commissioner Plufka indicated that earlier, smaller lot
sizes were looked at to save on money and the market turned.
Today, homeowners want larger houses on smaller lots. He
added that Plymouth's Ordinance is behind, and that perhaps
the 20% maximum lot coverage no longer holds up. He added
that Mr. Hagen had a good question and the City will need to
take a look at this issue.
Mr. Hagen reiterated that this was the issue - is it time
for Plymouth to look towards a change? He added that if
Plymouth was going to meet their population estimates of
100,000 there will" be a definite need to look at different
lot configurations.
Commissioner Wire stated that he too, was concerned about
not knowing which lots will exceed the lot coverage, adding
it would be difficult to control, if the lots were not
previously designated. Mr. Hagen indicated that they would
be willing to designate 19 lots.
Comissioner Wire also asked what type of foundations are
used for decks. Mr. Hagen indicated that a standard deck
has post footings.
Commissioner Wire inquired about the Engineer's Report which
mentioned downstream ponding area experiencing run -off. Mr.
Hagen indicated that his past 20 years experience with the
City of Plymouth was that it was well engineered. He
indicated that it was very unlikely that decks would affect
the run -off.
Commissioner Plufka indicated that the way he interpreted
the Engineer's report, was that it referred to impervious
surfaces, which would not include decks, and therefore, he
did not see this as a concern.

Commissioner Tierney indicated that decks are something that
people want and the entire situation needs to be looked at,
versus each situation on an individual basis.
commissioner Zylla inquired as to how out of step Plymouth
was compared to other Cities.
Coordinator Dillerud indicated that he was unsure, however,
Plymouth is seeing more and more of this type of request.
He agreed that the time has arrived to take a look at this
ordinance.
Chairman Pauba opened the Public Hearing.
Bruce N. Bachman, 4600 Orchid Lane, indicated that he cane
tonight to find out what was going on. He added that all of
the residents should be given equal opportunity, and not
just new residents to the area. Mr. Bachman requested the
same rights as his neighbor receives. Mr. Bachman also
requested that Mr. Hagen expedite the completion of the bike
path which is currently 30 yards of weeds.
Coordinator Dillerud indicated that the Public hearing would
be opened again at the August 10, 1988 Planning Commission
Meeting.
Coordinator Dillerud stated that he agrees with Commissioner
Wire regarding the administrative difficulties involved in
an unspecified 19 lots to exceed the 20% lot coverage.
Commissioner Plufka advised that it would be impossible to
redesign the ordinance in two weeks. He stated that to
treat decks like houses and garages was crazy. Commissioner
Plufka asked Mr. Hagen to prepare a list of the 19 lots that
would exceed the lot coverage and have this available for
the next meeting.
Commissioner Stulberg stated that he agrees that the process
needs to be changed regarding ordinance Amendments versus
variances.
Chairman pauba advised that he was not opposed to the decks
being built, however, he too wanted to have the 19 lots
designated.

Chairman Pauba introduced the request by Larry and Carol
Lieder. The reading of the July 18, 1988 Staff Report was
waived.
Chairman Pauba introduced the petitioner Larry Lieder, 4840
Union Terrace Lane. Mr. Lieder advised that he had read the
Staff Report and had provided written responses to each of
the Planning Staff comments.
Chairmen Pauba opened the Public Hearing.
Mr. Don Wisdorf, 4830 Union Terrace Lane, indicated that he
is the neighbor that is just to the east of the Lieders and
the one most affected by the deck. He stated that the deck
is attractive, blends in well with the area and would be an
asset. He added that the Lieders are the neatest neighbors
in the area, and he approved of the deck 100 %.
Mr. Gerald Duffee, 4850 Union Terrace Lane, stated that he
lives directly to the west of the Lieders. He stated that
the deck is very conservative, and tasteful and he
recommends early approval could be reached.
Chairman Pauba closed the Public Hearing.
Commissioner Stulberg advised that he supports the staff and
added that staff, as well as the Commission are responsible
to uphold the Ordinance criteria.
Motion by Commissioner Stulberg, seconded by Commissioner
Wire to approve the Conditional Use Permit Amendment to the
Planned Unit Development subject to the conditions listed in
the July 18, 1988 Staff Report.
Commissioner Plufka stated that he is in favor of this
request, however, cautioned the Ccsrmission that to follow
the letter of the law would be to deny this request. He
emphasized the need to take a look at the community as a
whole; Mr. Lieder had indicated, he wanted his request dealt
with only on the basis of its merit. Commissioner Plufka
stated that if one requested was granted, how can a similar
request be denied?
Commissioner Stulberg stated that if this request was dealt
with only on its merits, the Commission is bound by the City
to deny it, so by dealing with it on a City -wide basis, it
is saying that there is a marketing issue and this is why he
cannot ccmre to an approval for this recommendation.

Commissioner Plufka stated that the Lieders have a good

approve, and the Ordinance must be reviewed and updated.
Roll Call Vote. 6 Ayes. MDTION CARRIED.
Chairman Pauba introduced the request by Carlson Properties,
Inc. The reading of the July 19, 1988 Staff Report was
waived.
Coordinator Dillerud advised that an investigation has taken
place since the last Planning Commission Meeting to
ascertain whether the covenant was drafted and filed. As of
this time, there is no evidence that it had been done. He
stated that he has met with the people from Carlson and they
have discussed what Council had in mind with regard to the
covenant.
Chairman Pauba introduced Larry Chiat, 3222 Plaza VII, who
indicated that he agrees with Coordinator Dillerud and that
in checking their files, no covenant was ever drafted or
filed, however, conversation did take place regarding this
issue. Mr. Chiat indicated that they are willing to draft
the covenant to the City's approval and record the same. He
added that Carlson would like to see this linked to the
current applications, and would appreciate time to convert
from the 51 to 45 stalls.
Wes Johnson, 12813 Industrial Park Boulevard, indicated that
one of the tenants has vacated the building which had
allowed for open spaces. He has sent a letter to other
tenants asking that they use these open spaces and to cease
parking on Teakwood Lane.
Mr. Chiat indicated that a question was raised at the last
meeting about the status of the channel easement. He
indicated that a letter has been submitted with the
landscape plans, which show exactly what will happen with
the channel. He indicated that fill would be needed, and
the channel will be refigured to the south. He added that
the oak tree will be preserved and additional trees would be
added.
Commissioner Plufka inquired how the erosion would be
controlled. Mr. Chiat indicated that there are 4 -5 pages of
plans showing the details, and that a silt fence would be
used.

Commissioner Plufka inquired how successful a silt fence is
when it is so close to the water way? Mr. Johnson indicated
that he did not know.
Commissioner Zylla inquired about the enhanced landscaping
and buffering to protect the residential neighbors.Mr. Chiat
advised that they are willing to add more spruce trees that
are 6 feet in height.
Commissioner Plufka asked if the disturbed ground would be
sod or seeded? Coordinator Dillerud advised that it would
be sodded. He added that the landscape plans provided meet
the Ordinance requirements.
Commissioner Zylla indicated, with respect to enhanced
landscaping, that normally the Commission does not like to
approve what they cannot see. He added that the staff is
usually reluctant to take the extra step to ensure that
there is compliance.
Coordinator Dillerud advised that in this instance, where
the enhancement is limited and focused, there would not be a
burden to staff.
Motion by Commissioner Wire, seconded by Commissioner Zylla MOTION TO AMEND
to approve the Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan subject
to the five conditions listed, adding a condition 6 that the
City Forester review this request to enhance the landscaping
and reduce the impact on residential properties to the east.
Motion by Commissioner Zylla, seconded by Commissioner
Plufka to amend the main motion by adding a Condition #7
requiring a covenant be prepared and recorded with the Final
Plat for NIP 4th Addition that encumbers the owner of this
building to limit aggregate building occupancies to that
which requires no more than 51 off -street parking spaces
until September 1, 1991, and no more than 45 off - street
parking spaces after September 1, 1991, consistent with off -
street parking standards of the Zoning Ordinance.
VOTE. 6 Ayes.

Commissioner Wire stated that the petitioner has asked the
tenants to change their parking habits, which theoretically
would reduce the parking problem. He added that they are
being asked to forever keep their occupancy rate at the
reduced level, or to provide more parking, and inquired if
this is what the covenant would do?

Coordinator Dillerud stated that the covenant will control

which was agreed to by the building owner.
Commissioner Wire stated that there has not been a covenant
for eight years, and inquired if the covenant would be an
assurance the parking problem would be solved.
Ccnissioner Stulberg inquired how much time Carlson would
need to comply with the occupancy rate? Mr. Chiat indicated
that three years would be satisfactory.
Commissioner Plufka advised Coordinator Dillerud that it
would have been helpful to have the graphics returned for
the last issue and would like to have these also returned in
the future with resubmitted petitions.
NEW BUSINESS HOME OCCUPATIONS
Commissioner Wire stated that he was impressed with the
proposed Hcme Occupation Ordinance, however, felt that the
day care should be left out of the Ordinance seeing that the
State licenses day cares.
Commissioner Stulberg indicated that the examples should be
left out as he felt that this could get the Commission in
trouble.
Ccmnissioner Zylla indicated that he did not understand the
need. He added that either you have a home occupation or
you do not.
Coordinator Dillerud indicated that the hearing on the
proposed Hone occupation Ordinance amendment was tenatively
set for the August 10, 1988 hearing and there would be more
opportunity to hash things out at that time.
The Meeting adjourned at 9:32 p.m.

SUBJECT MONUMENT SIGNS /SUNNY ACRES 25TH AVENUE NORTH AND HIGHWAY 101
In response to the Mr. Willis' memo dated May 2, 1988, and the questions that you wrote
on the bottom thereof:
1. Research by Myra Wicklacz indicates that there is no mention of any monument
signs in any A -files related to this or any plat in the vicinity. We believe
they just appeared over time.
2. Based on a site inspection by Myri and later a site inspection by a member of
Fred Moore's staff, it appears that the signs are potentially on public right -
of -way and private riqht -of -way as well as City -owned property. It would
require a survey to establish the ownership of the underlying property to any
degree of detail. If they are on private property, and it appears that they
may be to some extent, the private property owners are: Joel & Kathleen
Cleveland, 17830 25th Avenue North.
3. According to Myra, there is no active Homeowners Association covering the Sunny
Acres plat. My recollection is that some time during the past 15 years, there
has been a Homeowners Association in that area, because, the name rings a bell
from my last tenure with the City.

MEMO

TO: City Manager James G. Willis
FROM: Community Development Director Blair Tremere
SUBJECT MONUMENT SIGNS AT 25TH AVENUE NORTH AND STATE HIGHWAY 101
The follow -up on your May 2, 1988 memorandum which was generated by a complaint by Mr.
Thomas Torborg, 17720 25th Avenue North, was delayed because it is not easily
ascertainable whose property the monument signs are on. The request was for me to
investigate the matter and determine whether it would be possible for the City and /or
the Homeowners Association to have the signs removed.
There is no active Homeowners Association that we can determine.
The signs are either totally on City right -of -way and /or City -owned land; or one sign
is on the property of a Joel & Kathleen Cleveland, 17830 25th Avenue North (Parcel
30 -11- 0003).
Since the sign at the southeast corner is on City property, I recommend that you direct
City personnel to remove both signs after notifying the Clevelands that this will be
done, unless they have a specific objection (which would include the willingness on
their part to upgrade and maintain the sign). The latter recommendation is primarily
for legal reasons since, if the sign is on their property, we may need to obtain a
working easement in order to remove the sign.
Personally, I think Mr. Torborg should consider removing the signs in conjunction with
some of the neighbors, including the Clevelands, and not necessarily leave it to the
City. The reason I suggest this is that it is their neighborhood, and these are not
signs that the City installed. Would Mr. Torborg be opposed to this?
Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

SUBJECT: MONUMENT SIGNS ON 25TH AVENUE NORTH AND STATE HIGHWAY 101
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Cleveland:
The City has received a complaint about the monument signs located on the
north and south side of 25th Avenue, east of Highway 101.
We have found that the signs do not belong to a registered homeowners
association and there are no references in our files to approved monument
signs for the plat.
Because the signs appear to be on City right -of -way, are not in the custody
of a homeowners association, and because we have received complaints about
the monument signs, it is our intent to remove them.
We have not been able to ascertain whether the signs are on your property or
road right -of -way. Could you clarify this question for us? If the signs
are on or very close to your property, we are requesting a construction
easement from you in order that we can remove the signs. I have attached a
copy of the temporary construction easement, together with a self- addressed
envelope for this purpose.
Upon receipt of the executed temporary construction easement, we will
schedule the removal of the signage by city crews. Tom Vetsch, our street
supervisor will be in charge of this project. If you have any questions,
please feel free to contact Tom or me at 559 -2800.

TO: Blair Tremere, Community Development Director
FROM: Myra G. Wicklacz, Development Services Technician
SUBJECT: Home Occupation at 14506 County Road 6
In response to Jim Willis's request through Councilmember Vasiliou, I
inspected the property and took photographs to confirm the fact that a sign
located in the right -of -way advertises "Schmidt Accounting at 473 - 6167." The
property is owned by Mr. And Mrs. Earl Schmidt.
There has never been a Conditional Use Permit applied for or approved for a
home occupation at this address. The phone number stated on the sign is the
same as that given in the telephone directory for the home. Schmidt
Accounting was not listed in the phone book as a business and therefore gave
no telephone number.
I am in the process of sending to Mr. and Mrs. Schmidt a Zoning Ordinance
Violation letter for home occupation, which will spell out the inspection
findings and what the property owners will need to do to bring the property
into compliance.
