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. JGW: f m attachment �-1 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 A sight intersection obstruction is "... any fence, wall, plantings, landscape 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." (See attached illustrations.) Procedure 1. A citizen observes a possible sight intersection obstruction and brings it to the attention of the City. The individual should be referred directly to the Forester who will take the necessary information. If the obstruction is other than plant materials, the Forester will refer to the Development Services Technician. 2. If an employee observes a sight obstruction, he /she reports the address of the offending party on the "Community Improvement Reminder Card," including a brief description of the obstruction, the date and observing employee's name. The form is submitted to the Forester. 3. Within five business days from receipt of a complaint, an inspection of the property is conducted by the Forester. 4. A determination is made within five business days of the inspection that: a. There is no violation within the right -of -way or within 20 feet of the right -of -way. 1) Complaint dropped and confirmation sent to complainant. INTERSECTION SIGHT OBSTRUCTION POLICY Rev. 5/2/S� Page 2 b. Violation exists but obstruction is between curb and right -of -way. 1) The Forester forwards the "Nuisance Complaint Form" with the necessary information on it to the Development Services Technician who sends a registered letter to the property owner, advising them of the violation in the street right -of -way and indicating that they have up to 30 calendar days to complete the work or the City will correct the problem. 2) Suspense file for appropriate number of days. 3) If a response from the property owner is not received by the Forester or the Development Services Technician within the specified time period, the Development Services Technician requests a reinspection of the property by the Forester. 4) Reinspection by the Forester takes place. 5) If the violation remains, have obstruction eliminated by force labor or contract negotiated by Forester. Carbon copy Public Works Director. c. Violation exists within 20 feet of right -of -way (on private property). 1) The Forester forwards the "Nuisance Complaint Form" to Development Services Technician noting nature of violation. 2) Registered letter is sent by Development Services Technician to property owner (or posted on property if unoccupied), advising of violation. The letter must specify steps to be taken to abate nuisance, and the time period not exceeding 30 days for abatement. (Cite Sec. 2010). 3) Suspense file for 30 days. 4) If a response from property owner is not received by Development Services Technician within 30 days, the Development Services Technician requests a reinspection of the property by the Forester. 5) Reinspection scheduled. a) If compliance, send thank you. INTERSECTION SIW T OBSTRUCTION: POLICY Page 3 -T—;) Rev. 5/2/88 b) If not, serve notice as in 4.c.2), at least 10 days* before Council meeting that the Council will consider providing abatement by the City and that they are welcome to be heard on the issue. *(Note" If property unoccupied and notice given by posting, then 30 days must elapse). c) Prepare an agenda report for City Council consideration together with a resolution authorizing the City to abate nuisance and making the property owner personally liable for costs plus administrative fees. Include an estimate of total costs as prepared by the Forester. d) If Council approves action, direct contractor to complete work and Forester reinspects to ensure satisfactory completion and forwards verification of completion to Development Services Technician. e) Development Services Technician forwards verification of work completion and authorizing resolution to Finance. f) Finance pays contractor based upon verification of work completion. An invoice is generated and mailed to property owner for payment of work. g) If no payment then Finance suspends materials for September. Finance then: 1) Arranges for assessment hearing pursuant to M.S. 429. 2) Notifies property owner in accordance with statute. 3) Prepares report with recommendations and resolution for spreading costs by special assessment against the benefiting property. 4) Finance provides a copy of resolution approving special assessment to Development Services Technician confirming end of process. t6HT I A?QL '2 INTERSECTION SIGHT OBSTRUCTION CIS Ell�PZ62JEZIQ s set% NO OBSTRUCTION AT INTERSECTION E VE26 V- Epif,4 s TZEE5 -rill COMtJHITY I►PROYElENT REMINDER Admin.

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.

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. Mary stated that staff is working hard on budgets which are almost ready. Also, a new report is available from the Finance Department with year -to -date financial figures, so she should have a financial report for the Commission by the next meeting. Mary reported that the public relations brochure is nearly complete and should be ready by the next meeting also.

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 PRAC Minutes - July 14, 1988 Page 31 competitive athletic revenue producing. provide non - revenue The Community Center sufficient. _T_ so_ groups. They also feel the facility should be Eric Blank pointed out that we do currently producing facilities such as Oakwood Playfield. 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. T S_� PRAC Minutes - July 14, 1988 Page 32 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. 8. STAFF COMMUNICATION None. 9. ADJOURNMENT The meeting was adjourned at 10:45 p.m. MINUTE S PLYMOUTH ADVISORY COMMITIEE ON TRANSIT JULY 27, 1985 PRESENT: Peggy Galarneault, Dale Knutson, Dennis Jacobson, Nancy Holter, 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. PLYMOUTH ADVISORY COMMTTTEE ON TRANSIT Jury 27, 1988 Page 2 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 PLYMOUTH ADVISORY COMMTTT.E c ON TRANSIT July 27, 1988 Page 3 2. Not realizing a delay in arrival time at the Park and Ride lot. 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.

Roll Call Vote. 6 Ayes. MOTION carried. Chairman Pauba introduced the request by Hans Hagen 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% 1--s.-(2- MOTION TO APPROVE von - WrION CARRIED HANS HAGEN HOMES, CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT (88032) T Ste_ Planning Corrmission A'inute_ July 27, 198 Page 180 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. Z-- sue Planning Corrr i ssion Ili nutes' Jule 27, 1986 Page 181 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.

MOTION carried. VOTE - M ICN CARRIED Planning Commission Ylinutes July 27, 1988 Page 182 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.

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.

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. VOTE ON MAIN MOTION AS AMENDED. 5 AYES. Ccmmisioner Plufka Nay. 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? MOTION TO AMEND MAID LION MOTION CARRIED MOTION CARRIED z -sue Planning CormLission Minutes July 27, 1988 Page 185 Coordinator Dillerud stated that the covenant will control the parking demand by controlling the use of the structure, 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.

Dillerud 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. z 7c, CITY OF PLYMOUT `, 3400 PLYMOUTH BLVD., PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447 TELEPHONE (612) 559 -2800 MEMO DATE: June 7, 1988 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. .l- 2c�- June 21, 1988 Joe & Kathleen Cleveland 17830 - 25th Avenue North Plymouth, MN 55447 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.

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.

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. )3oO 1- /Dc. a� � caGfu��`l jv� CA
