WEST MEDICINE LAKE COMMUNITY CLUB/NEIGHBORHOOD ANNUAL MEETING - Annually, Dick Carlquist and Frank Boyles meet with concerned neighbors living in the vicinity of the West Medicine Lake Community Club and club representatives to identify areas of concern and methods for resolving the concerns. Normally, the meeting has included two to four club representatives, two to four neighborhood representatives and two City representatives. This year the club requested that they be allowed to bring -members of their club to hear neighborhood concerns first-hand. The Community Club also brought their attorney. The total attending were twelve Community Club representatives attending, their attorney, the two neighborhood representatives and two City representatives. The meeting was productive in providing a forum through which the neighbors could express their concerns and club members could hear those concerns. By the end of the meeting it was apparent that the attitude had shifted from antagonism toward cooperation. Attached for information is a West Medicine Lake Community Club memorandum dated September 20, which describes the club, its annual donations and costs it has incurred for improving the Community Club facility. Also attached is a memorandum from Frank Boyles to Community Club and neighborhood representatives, outlining the agreements made as a result of the meeting and setting forth the next meeting date.

I have attached for information purposes, the letters received from Frank Cleave and Jay Nelson regarding their concerns; and a September 20, 1988 memorandum from the Community Club, describing the Club's contributions to the community and cost incurred for improvements over time. At the meeting all parties agreed on a number of things.. There was a consensus that the problems between the club and neighborhood had decreased and the general level of noise and number of undesirable incidents had been reduced. There was also a consensus that the administrative agreements between the Club, City and neighbors, dating back to 1985, are appropriate. The primary issue is one of ongoing enforcement of these administrative procedures. As a result of the meeting, the following agreements were reached: 1, The Club will reinitiate advance notice to the neighbors, showing the clubs' upcoming days and times for events so the neighbors can plan their schedules accordingly. By the same token, the neighbors indicated that if they have special family events scheduled, that they too would advise the club, Dolly Revling will assume respon- sibility for mailing notices to Frank Cleave and Jay Nelson. Frank Cleave and Jay Nelson will submit notices as appropriate to Dolly. 2. The Club has revised its security guard arrangement from the current 9 to 1 p.m. schedule to 9:30 to 1:30 p.m. so that the guard can be on duty when the events are over to reduce late night/early morning noise. 3. The neighbors agreed that if problems occur, their first telephone call is to be to Dolly or Darrell Revling at the Community Club telephone. If neither of them is available, one of the bartenders or the security officer would the be appropriate person to talk to. If these efforts do not resolve the problem, then the neighbors are to call Dolly and Darrell Revling's office at 476-6967. 3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD, PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447, TELEPHONE (612) 559-2800, SEPTEMBER 20, 1988 ME O ING BETWEEN WEST MEDICINE_ LAKE COMMUNITY CLUB REPRESENTATIVES AND NEIGHBORHOOD REPRESEN-TIVES September 23, 1988 Page 2 Because "prime time" for outdoor activities is the summer months, there was a suggestion that the annual meeting be shifted to the month of dune in 1989.

FB:kee attachment cc: S.F. 9/20/8& Mr. Frank Boyles Assistant City Manager City of Plymouth Plymouth,, MIN 55447 Dear Mr. Boyles: Frank W. Cleave 1730 Forestview Lane Plymouth, MN 55441 August 3, 1988 This letter is in reference to your letter of July 25, 1988 regarding our neighborhood's contiinuing problems with the West Medicine Lake Community Club. I believe that over the past several years the management and officers of the Community Club have agreed to and put into place every step necessary to totally eliminate mi nate all of the problems that we have previously discussed. The problem is one of compliance. Wile the club has demonstrated on marW occasions that it is indeed possible to hold functions without disturbing the rest of the neighborhood, it is still very much of a hit and miss proposition. There are still far too many times when it is painfully obvious that no one has bothered to check the sound levels outside to see if the music needs to be turned down. There are also far too mann times when party goers or workers make excessive noise in the parking lot, sometimes well past 1 a.m. Each time we call the Club to complain we are given excuses that imply the disturbance was due to some unusual circumstance that will, never happen again. Unfortunately, it does. I believe that a large part of this problem stems from the fact that Marty Club workers and members do not take the Club's agreements with the neighbors seriously. This belief is based on the fact that (1 )_most problems seem to occur when the Club management and officers are not present and (2) we have been told by former managers and officers that some members are totally against cooperating with the neighbors. ( Apparently they have something against common courtesy.) While we greatly appreciate the improvements the Club has made, we would like to use the September 20, meeting to discuss the lapses in compliance and the Club's apparent lack of ability to get all of its members and workers to actively comply with the spirit of our agreements. We seldom have trouble with Club functions, but thirty to fifty percent of the rentals continue to cause quite annoying problems. that the Club has proven can easily be avoided. If the Club can't get full cooperation from its own people to oversee these events properly, our only remaining option will be to ask the City Council to mandate enforcement. �Sincerely, Frank W.

(Established, if in no othe way, by the many evenings we did not call.) 2 2.NOISE FRONT om,nOOR CLUS ACTIVITIES: Disturbing noise from outdoor activities is generated any one of (3) ways. 1.) Outdoor gatherings. 2.) narking lot noise; comming, going, horn honking, speeciing cars, and loud talking or yelling, often late at night. 3.) Unauthorizerl use of club grounds; this often takes the ,_orm of unauthorized use of grounds and equipment but also incl.urles cars meeting in the parking lot late in the evenings. RESULT: Organized outdoor- gatherings no longer use sound ampl fication equipment, except for Jim Lupient picnics. (No provisions shout sound amplification were mentioned in the the amusement license for this years carnival.) This and the smaller number of outdoor activties this year has resulted Mlieter environment. We would still request that these o:i Sundays. Parking lot noise at closing remains a difficult problem. Given that as promised, announcements are still :)(ging ,Wade about noise before closing; perhaps the visible presence of the off duty police guard outside the door at closing time would be of some help. As for unauthorized uses of the grounds it might be >atrol the grounds at off hours, perhaps when they are returning home from evening events. Can we have the street posted as a crimewatch arca? 3.) THE CLUB SHOULD BE CAPABLE_ OF POL_ICING ITS OWN AIV CTITIES: Policing of club's activities by the clubs administration is the key to the issue and the point at which the club has been weakest in its abilities and or efforts. For instance, eventhough the Sunday carnival outdoor activities were to end at 6:00PM people were still gathered outdoors at the picnic area after 10:30PM, four and one half hours later. RESULT: Everyone will agree that if the club recieved no complaints and if there were no need to complain that we'd all be much happier. As silly or obvious as the statement may sound the groundwork for resolution is in place. Acceptable nighttime sound levels have been set to the functioning satisfaction of the club and neighbors. Day time outdoor use of the club grounds must be allowed but abuse of the neighborhood with sound, tresspass, and over parking the 3 facility is not acceptable. acceptable noise levels at the time of patron departure can also :)o Policed and has been policed by the club. In most instances standards have been set that all can live with. i�ow it is the club's obligalic)n and duty to maintain these standar, Fi. 4.) SCHEDULE OF ACTIVITIES: Schedules of activities have - been sent to the Nelbons and Cleaves. RESULT: These lists have been helpful for us to plan our social activities. It i- still irritating to be forced to plan our activities arround the clubs agenda. To be able to count on sundays being free of events would make the lists unnecessary and would remove the irritation of adjusting to the schedule of the club. As stated in earlier correspondence to the city, and unfortunately recently forgotten, we would like to be notified of all City meetings concerning the Club. We can then decide ourselves if the issues warrant our presence at those public. meetings. As stated earlier the ground work for resolution of these problems has already been laid. If the club can find .ways to police its own activities to levels that have been established to date there would be no need for those on either side of this issue to suffer greatly. we wish to thank the City Staff and the City Council for their patience, interest, and understanding concerning these issues.

A group of ten area residents decided to do something about it and, joined by their neighbors, they organized the West Medicine Lake Community Club on February 2, 1948. The purpose of the Club was to promote community fellowship and general welfare of the community by providing family and youth activities, and supporting charitable organizations. The Club acquired its present 51 acre site in 1949. The site, much of which was swampy, was filled, graded and sodded by Club members and a playground and baseball field were built. In 1951, the original building was constructed again with funds raised by the Club and labor donated by its members. The building was destroyed by fire in July, 1966 but rebuilt through the hard work of the Club's members. These facilities have been improved over the years at considerable cost to the Club. By the 1950's, the Club facilities were being used for weekly meetings of junior and senior youth groups, Explorer Scouts, Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts, Girl Scouts, Brownies, Peewee and Midget baseball teams, arts and crafts, girls softball, weekly summer movies, children's holiday parties, ice skating, and semi-monthly Saturday night dances for adults. In more recent years, the Club has provided its facilities free of charge to the following groups: Plymouth•Parks and Recreation Department Plymouth Senior Citizens Independent School District Nos. 281 and 284 Plymouth Police and Fire Departments Plymouth Historical Society Wayzata Youth Hockey Plymouth Garden Club Plymouth Women of Today Golden Valley Womens' Club Flu Clinic Plymouth Polars Club Lions Club Eagle Club Snowmobile Safety Club Word of Life Church Based on its usual rental rates between 1975 and the present, the total value of the facilities provided by—the Club to the community totals $51,450.00. In addition to providing this use of the Club's facilities to groups, the Club has for decades allowed the neighborhood children use of the playground and athletic field for unorganized play. The cost of owning and maintaining the Club's facilities is considerable. For example, real estate taxes on the athletic fields alone amount to $1,822.00 a year. This amount, when added to the $1,600 annually spent on maintenance, makes a total of $3,422.00 a year spent by the Club to provide the community with the athletic fields. This represents a double benefit to the community which gets free use of the fields and has the benefit of the tax dollars arising out of the Club's private ownership of the land: In addition to providing free use of its facilities, the Club has had a tradition of providing cash donations to many worthy causes amounting tc between $1,500 and $3,000 per year depending on the Club's treasury. Examples of recent Club donations are as follows: School Districts Nos. 281 and 284 graduation party S 100.00 (annual) Crime Prevention Bureau 150.00 Plymouth Police Explorer Scouts 350.00 Plymouth Police Department 100.00 Plymouth Fireman's Relief Fund 30.00 Minnesota Police Association Drug Education Fund 35.00 Youth Hockey Programs (yearly average through 1987). 1,000.00 Wayzata Secondary School Orchestra 50.00 Since its first carnival in July 1948 which netted "close to $700.00", the annual carnival has been the Club's major fundraising event and a neighborhood tradition. Over the years, this income has been supplemented by a few other fundraising events and by the rental of the Club's building to the public for wedding receptions, banquets, company parties and picnics, and other special occasions. Throughout the Club's 40 -year history, it has been operated with the support or participation of the majority of the neighborhood's residents. For over three decades, the Club operated with only a handful of minor complaints by area residents. That changed, however, when the Nelsons and the Cleaves moved into the neighborhood a few years ago. The Nelsons' property borders the north edge of the Club's property and is close to the Club's building and parking facilities. For a long time prior to the purchase of that lot by the Nelsons, the Club had considered purchasing the lot itself. At that time, the Club was aware that the lot was subject to back taxes and had hoped that it could purchase the lot by payment of those taxes. When the Nelsons purchased the lot, the Club's business manager, Justin LeClair, introduced himself to the Nelsons and explained the functions of the Club. He explained to them that the Club was the site of large gatherings of people and suggested that they perhaps did not know what they were getting into by locating a house so close to the Club's facilities. The Club then offered to purchase the lot from the Nelsons for $1,000 over and above what they had purchased it for. The Nelsons did not respond to the Club's offer. Soon after the Nelsons moved in, they began complaining to the Club, at times using foul and abusive language. The Cleaves have also been vocal in their complaints and on at least one occasion made untrue and disparaging remarks concerning club members at a public meeting. Acts such as these may account for the perception by Mr. Cleave that some club members are unwilling to "cooperate" with the neighbors. In fact, the Club is not "unwilling to cooperate" with its neighbors. This is shown by costs incurred by the Club in the last few years, all designed to' reduce any effect its gatherings have on the neighborhood. Insulation to help soundproof the building $7,200.00 Fencing the Club's north property line 4,490.00 Air conditioning and exhaust fans to eliminate the need of opening windows and doors 5,550.00 Noise barrier drapes 450.00 Security guards 3,600.00 Grounds and neighborhood cleanup 650.00 Enlargement of off-street parking 3,500.00 Loss of late evening and large group rental business 7,000.00 TOTAL $32,440.00 The West Medicine Lake Community Club exists for -the good of the community. If it truly believed that its operation was harmful to the community or the neighborhood, it would close. The Club believes, however, that the community has been and is now better off because of the contributions the Club has made in the last forty years. The Club also believes that it has been a good neighbor. As such, it has and will continue to operate so as not to unreasonably or illegally interfere with its neighbors' use of their own property and it will submit to reasonable and legal regulation by the City. The Club will continue to participate in voluntary meetings with its neighbors and the City to seek creative and equitable solutions to problems. However, the Club will resist any efforts by a few to unreasonably or illegally impose their will on the community. a�- September 20, 1988 Virgil Schneider, Mayor City of Plymouth 3400 Plymouth Blvd Plymouth, MN 55447 Dear Mayor Schneider: Metropolitan Waste Control Commission Mears Park Centre, 230 East Fifth Street, St. Paul, Minnesota 55101 612 222-8423 The Metropolitan Waste Control Commission would like to take this opportunity to provide the community with the 1987 Final Cost Allocation, the 1988 Cost Allocation status and the 1989 Statement of Charges for interceptor and treatment works use. The following paragraphs explain that the Final Cost Allocation is based on actual flow and expenditures while the Statement of Charges is based on estimated flow and budgeted expenditures. We have determined the actual wastewater flow from your community to be 1968 million gallons (MG) in 1987 (see Attachment A). This.wastewater flow to the Metropolitan Disposal System (MDS) was based on the metered and unmetered flow originating from your community. In late 1986, the Commission forwarded a 1987 Statement of Sewer Charges to your community which was based on the expenditures approved in the Commission's 1987 Budget and on your community's 1987 estimated wastewater flow of 2260 MG which was made in early 1986. Your community paid the Commission $1,833,165 in 1987 based on this statement of charges. If this amount does not agree with your records, please inform the Internal Auditor of the Commission. The Commission has completed the 1987 Final Cost Allocation (Attachment B) which is based on the Commission's actual 1987 expenditures as shown in the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (Attachment C) and on the actual 1987 wastewater flows. The 1987 Final Cost Allocation shows that your charges are $1,705,101 for the 1968 MG discharged to the MDS during the year. The Commission did receive an overpayment of $128,064 from your community in 1987. This amount will be credited on the 1989 Statement of Sewer Service Charges. The above adjustment in charges reflects a rate change due to the fact that the Commission underspent its 1987 budget by $2 million and that the total flow discharged to the MDS 50years 1938-1988 in 1987 was about 7.8% less than the estimate. The decreased total flow is primarily due to precipitation being significantly below normal during the past two years. Attachment D shows that the total metropolitan area wastewater flow varies nearly + or - 7 percent depending upon the amount of precipitation received in the period prior to and during the year of the record. This variation in the wastewater flow is primarily the change in the amount of inflow/infiltration (I/I) as a portion of the total wastewater volume. The volume of I/I flow can be minimized if sewers are properly installed and an ongoing sewer maintenance program is implemented. The 1988 wastewater flow estimate for your community is 2390 MG (see Attachment E). This estimate, which was made in mid -1987, includes the new residential equivalent connections (RFC's) expected to be added to your sewer system during 1988. Based on the metered flow data to date, this estimate appears to be satisfactory, when compared with an expected reduction in total metro flow due to lower than normal precipitation during the year. Should this chance in flow significantly affect the user charge, the Commission will contact you in this regard. In the preparation of the 1989 Statement of Sewer Service Charges for each of the 105 communities who discharge to the MDS, it was necessary to estimate each individual community flow as well as the budgeted cost. The Commission has estimated the 1989 flow from your community to be 2350 MG based on past flow records, precipitation trends, and anticipated community growth. The Commission has also approved the 1989 Budget which includes the operation and maintenance costs plus the user portion of the debt service necessary to fund existing and proposed capital improvement projects. The approved budget reflects a 1.98% increase in dollars. However the rates, or cost per unit of flow, is increased by 5.22% due to a decrease in the total estimated flow for the MDS. The 1989 Statement of Sewer Service (Attachments F) is being.furnished to each community in compliance with the provisions of Minnesota Statues, Chapter 473 as amended in 1987. The amended law allows the Commission to consider current value credit as debt service, establish a uniform rate for all user communities which will be phased in over a 5 -year period, and establish a reserve fund not to exceed 7.5% of the operating budget. A reserve fund of $500,000 (0.5% of the Operating Budget) has been established to date through the budget process. If you are interested we will furnish you a copy of the 1989 Budget upon request. We trust that the information contained in this letter will help you understand the process the Commission uses to allocate sewer service costs to each community. If you have any questions on the above information or on any of the attachments, please contact the Commission.

Annual Inspection of City Facilities -- Frank Boyles reported that of the 171 operation/ correction recommendations from the July building safety inspection report, 40 items remain to be completed and/or are under consideration for possible implemen- tation. Frank will provide a status report on the recommen- dations to the Committee at the September meeting. 2. Loss Control Survey of Park System -- Frank stated that on August 23 a loss control survey was conducted by Dave Druag and city representatives. The inspection included all park play areas and equipment which were not included in the annual city facilities inspection. Dave reported that the overall mainten- ance and operations of the Plymouth park system is much above average and congratulated the City on their conscientiousness and concern for maintaining the park systems in this condition. Dave stated that prior to the Safety meeting, he had given Frank his final survey report and recommendations. Frank stated the report will be given to Mark Peterson and Eric Blank asking that items listed in the report either be corrected or clarified. The committee will receive a copy of the report for review at its September meeting. 3. Inspection of City Vehicles -- Frank stated that during the month of July, all city vehicles and mobile equipment received a basic safety inspection. Items checked included tires, lights, emergency lights, horn, seat belts, mirrors, signage, first aid kit, fire extinguisher, and overall cleanliness.

Dave Drugg noted that if the vehicles are equipped and operated as emergency vehicles, the vehicle operator should also undergo emergency driving training. 5. Vehicle Storage Facilities --*red Moore explained the City's five year Capital Improvement Program, noting that the program at present anticipates the addition of an 8,000 - 10,000 sq. ft. cold stoiz-ae building at the Public Works site in 1990. 6. Minimum Employee Fitness Program -- The Committee discussed minimum fitness requirements for city employees. Frank stated that certain city employees, as part of their work skills, bring specific physical abilities to a job, and therefore the employee has the responsibility to be physically fit to accomplish his/her work responsibilities. Frank indicated that Fire Station No. 3 includes plans for a fitness facility for all city employees. He noted that it is timely that the committee is considering this matter, in that the fire station is scheduled for completion in July, 1989 and therefore plans and arrangements for a fitness program and appropriate equipment could be reviewed and in place before its opening. Mark Peterson stated concern with this recommendation, in that employees would be using fitness equipment in an unsupervised situation. Frank stated that other issues the committee should be looking at include available parking, scheduling, access to the facility, building security, and ensuring that the City's program is not in competition with other private fitness/health club operations. Dave Drugg advised that the City of Inver Grove Heights has a fitness facility for its employees, and he would request a copy of their facility guidelines and training programs for Plymouth's review. These guidelines have been forwarded to Lyle Robinson and Dick Carlquist for inclusion into the guidelines for the Fire Station 3 exercise area. Committee members inquiried about the City's past program offer- ing at the Northwest YMCA. Frank stated that because of little or no interest by employees to participate in the program, the program has not been offered the past two to three years. However, he would look into offering the fitness program again and also inquiry if other YMCA facilities could be made avail- able through the program. PLYMOUTH SAFETY COMMITTEE August 31, 1988 Page 3 7. Police Lmplo�ees - Ambulance Assistance and Self-defense Training The Committee reviewed Sergeant Larry Roger's memo on the Public Safety Department's policy regarding ambulance assists and self- defense training programs for police personnel. a. Ambulance Assists - In 1987, police personnel responded to 1,032 medical calls. During this time, the need to aid in -transit life support with two or more personnel occurred 4-6 times per year, and the need for one-man assists occurred 35-45 times per year. The decision to assist ambulance personnel is based upon two criteria: 1) the availability of personnel to retain minimum staffing reauire- ments; and 2) the demands for care in relation to the critical condition of the ,atient. The committee concurred with Sergeant Roger's suggestion, that based upon the infrequency of requiring two-man assists vs. the volume of medical calls, that the depart- ment's discretionary process for assistance remain intact. b. Self-defense Training -- The Committee reviewed the Police Department's overall training program for police officers, noting that actual "hands-on" training in areas of officer self-defense and the physical control of suspects is not provided. Frank stated he would discuss these training needs with the Public Safety Director and report back to the committee. 8. Employee Safety Manual -- Frank stated he is still revising the Employee Right -to -Know law policy, and once this is completed, the manual will be sent to the printer. 9. Safe Driver Award Pins -- Frank advised that the pin's final design had been selected and the pins are on order. Recause delivery of the pins will not be made for seven to eight weeks, they will not be available for distribution at.the annual Safety Luncheon to be scheduled in October. 10. Hennepin County Chiefs of Police Safety Award to Plymouth Police Department -- Frank advised the award will be included in the program for the annual Safety Awards luncheon. II. NEW BUSINESS 1. Consent Agenda. The committee approved the consent aqenda with the removal of one personal injury accident. The remaining consent items included five personal injury accidents, three vehicular accidents, and five incidents of windshield/glass damage. Of the personal injury accidents, four were determined non -preventable and one preventable. Two of the vehicle accidents were determined non- preventable, and one preventable. 2. Committee Review of Vehicular/Personal Injury Accidents. The committee reviewed two vehicular accidents and two personal injury accidents. One vehicular accident was determined preventable, and one non -preventable. Both personal injury accidents were determined preventable. A report on the Safety Committee's findings and recommendations will be forwarded to the City Manager.

Moore, Director of Public Works FROM: Chester J. Harrison, Jr., City Enginee SUBJECT: I-494 RAMP METERING FOR SOUTHBOUND TRAFFIC AT COUNTY ROAD 10 (BASS LAKE ROAD) AND COUNTY ROAD 9 (ROCKFORD ROAD) Glen Carlson, from the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT), met with City/County and other Department of Transportation staff to discuss the proposed metering of traffic onto I-494. The Metropolitan Council has stated in their Transportation Plan that the western 2/3 of the Metro area should be metered as soon as possible. Based on 1986 traffic volumes, MnDOT has recommended the installation of 42 new metered ramps throughout the west Metro area. They expect to place these .traffic signals on the ramps between July and October of 1989. In years to come, they will continue to add metered ramps on additional intersections, but at the present time do not plan to place any metered ramps on State Trunk Highway 55 or on County Road 6 when the ramps are opened at that location. They will be looking at adding metering to those ramps in 1990. The intent of installing meters is to reduce the peak volume of traffic on the roadway that causes stop and go movement by vehicles during those peak times. MnDOT is convinced that placement of the meters on County Road 9 and 10 will significantly impact and improve the traffic flow southbound on I-494. My concerns about backing traffic up onto County Road 9 and 10 were discussed at our meeting with the Department of Transportation. They believe that they can vary the setting of the metered signals to minimize the impact on the adjacent roadways. The State is accepting the responsibility of providing a safe traffic movement adjacent to these metered ramps. RECOMMENDATION: I do not recommend that the City implement a plan in opposition to this proposed metering. However, I think it is important to us to be aware of the significant impacts that these metered intersections may have on our adjoining roadways and that after installation of those metering signals, a close inspection of the roadways be made to assure the best flow of traffic is maintained. CJH:kh Mr. David C. Johnson 17435 County Road 6 Plymouth, MN 55447 SUBJECT: SERVICE STATION OPERATION Dear Mr. Johnson: The City has received telephone calls from residents living in the Kimberly Meadows Development, expressing two concerns: 1. During hours of operation the service station garage doors are not normally closed, allowing noise to disturb these households during the day. 2. That the service station creates noise after 10 p.m. and before 7 a.m. The existence of multi -residential development immediately adjacent to a commercial development naturally creates the opportunity for conflict. Our current City Code does not set forth noise maximums in terms of decibels. Instead, the City Code provides that "no person in any public or private place shall make or assist in making, by any manner or means, any loud, unpleasant or raucous noise or odor disturbing others unless the same be reasonably necessary for the preservation of life, health, safety or property." The code goes on to say that "no person shall, between the hours of 10 p.m. and 7 a.m, congregate because of, or participate in any party or gathering of people from which noise emanates of a sufficient volume so as to disturb the peace, quiet and repose of persons residing in any residential area. ... any owner or tenant of a building or a place who has knowledge of the disturbance and fails to immediately abate said disturbance shall be guilty of a violation of this section." For your information, I have attached a copy of the ordinance. I am asking your cooperation in encouraging those operating the service station to close the garage doors facing Kimberly Meadows at all times to minimize noise transmission in this direction, I am also asking that you eliminate the noise attendant with your operation after 10 p.m. and before 7 a m daily. 3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD, PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447, TELEPHONE (612) 559-2800 Mr. David C. Johnson September 19, 1988 Page 2 Your cooperative efforts to eliminate these problems is appreciated and will forestall the need to adopt additional ordinances which would more restrictively control noise in the community.

I hope you can help - if this is not your Department, please forward this on to the appropriate people At the risk of being a nosy neighbor, there is a home in the culdesac at 40th Avenue and Arrowwood which can't possibly meet minimum standards of upkeep. It bothers me a lot because I think it reflects poorly on my neighborhood and on the entire community. The grass has not been mowed in months (if at all this summer) and weeds now reach about 3 feet high in spots. The "do it yourself" landscaping job probably also shields a variety of other items which violate city code, but I guess the cruddy looking lawn really is the last straw. I realize that this summer has made it tough for all of us to keep decent looking lawns, but this homeowner hasn't attempted even minimum upkeep. I'd give you the specific address, but, not surprisingly, the house seems to have no number visible from the street, either on the mailbox or the house itself. Of the 7 houses in the culdesac, it's the 3rd one on the left -but you won't have any trouble finding it, it really sticks out like a sore thumb. Thanks very much for hearing me out. I hope you can help our neighborhood clean up a little bit by taking care of this problem spot. Sincerely, MVNUNWMft*t `.

The status had not changed since the original inspection on September 1, 1988. There was still tall weeds and grass on the premises. I knocked on the door, because I wanted to tell the owner, r� that we would be coming soon to cut the weeds. He was not in so I wrote a note and put it in his mail box. Later in the day I wrote an authorization form so our weed cutter could proceed. Don Kissinger and I also took pictures of the problem. I called our weed cutter and told him that I had a cut for him. On September 20, 1988 while I was out of the office, our Secretary Carolyn Racine, received a phone message from He said he would cut the weeds by the weekend.

Jim, let me start by saying we do not question your skills and abilities as a maintenance worker. If there were questions, you would not have received the types of performance evaluations you did while you were working for the City. Each time the City advertises for maintenance employees we receive in the neighborhood of 100 applications. The competition for each available position is intense. In this case, we narrowed the finalists to seven. Interviews were conducted with the seven, including yourself. Three finalists were chosen from this group. In making this decision we placed primary emphasis upon overall park maintenance and equipment operation experience. We also were concerned that the person fit into the skill areas which we were interested in enhancing. While you were with the City for your nine plus year tenure, you did a fine Job and your performance evaluations show that. Of course, most of your career - some eight years - was spent in the street division. Approximately sixteen months was devoted to park maintenance. Based upon our evaluation of candidates, we believe that the finalist we have selected best meets the City's requirements for this position. We certainly appreciate your application and the contributions you have made to this community. As I indicated on the phone, I apologize for the form letter you received. I did not intend to be callous. 3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD, PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447, TELEPHONE (612) 559-2800 Mr. dim Hanson September 23, 1988 Page 2 I wish you the best of luck in securing a position which meets yoneeds and desires.
