Willis FROM: Building Official Joe Ryan - SUBJECT: GARBAGE AND RUBBISH DISPOSAL Per you request, I have reviewed the provision of our City Code concerning the responsibility of builders to properly dispose of rubbish from properties which are under construction. Presently, there is no provision in our City Code which require builders to provide trash containers on property under construction. The City Code does make reference, however, that the failure to properly dispose of garbage or rubbish which may result in possible littering of neighboring properties, constitutes a general nuisance which is deemed a misdemeanor offense. Builders and developers are advised that it is their responsibility to assure the proper disposals of such materials and to maintain construction sites in a neat and sanitary condition. Complaints registered with our office are handled on a case by case basis. I have contacted the City of Maple Grove and obtained a copy of their City Code provisions which deal with garbage, refuse, and air pollution regulations. After reviewing its contents, I found that the requirement for the placement of containers ) on properties refer to commercial, business, industrial and multi -family buildings / only. I contacted a Community Service Officer from Maple Grove, who informed mei that single family home builders can be charged with refuse littering if an approved container is not provided for on the site, and littering has occurred. An approved container for residential properties under development can be a dumpster or a snow ✓ fence. Builders are encouraged to remove the contents from within a snow fence enclosure one 75% full. The containers are usually installed at the framing stages of construction and are maintained on the site until completion. The Community Service Officers of the City are charged with the enforcement of the code. Their Building Inspection Department refers such matters to their attention. In the opinion of our City Attorney, an amendment to our City Code would be necessary to require the placement of such containers on properties under development. Please see me should you have any further questions. cc: Community Development Director Blair Tremere File attachments (bu/jr/rubbish:tw) CIM APS; 0 Plymouth City Code 600.01 (Rev. 1988) CHAPTER VI PUBLIC HEALTH Section 600 - Garbage and Rubbish Disposal 600.01.

Water use restrictions are in effect May 1 through September 30 each year. Attached is a copy of Plymouth City Code, Section 720.45. A notice is also attached which discusses the specific requirements of the restrictions. Efforts should be made to encourage water users to voluntarily comply with the use restrictions as one step in their water conservation efforts. Where such efforts fail, the Public Safety Department is charged with providing a written warning and assessing the $100 penalty if another violation is subsequently noted. PROCEDURES 1. The Public Safety Department is responsible for enforcement of the water use restrictions, including notification of water customers in violation of the restrictions. 2. The Public Safety Director will assign personnel to inspect, inform citizens, and enforce water use restrictions. Enforcement of the odd -even water use restrictions will take place on a continuing basis. 3. The Public Safety Department CSOs are responsible for maintaining records including all written warnings and penalty notices each year. 4. Upon observing a violation by a water user, the employee will advise the party of the violation through use of the attached warning/violation letter. The employee will fill-in the appropriate information on the letter and make one copy. The original letter is handed to the water user in person. DO NOT LEAVE THE NOTICE UNLESS YOU HAND IT TO THE PROPERTY OWNER IN PERSON. The copy is kept by the CSOs for filing. If no one is .home at the residence, the employee will leave a copy of the "Plymouth*Water Restrictions" flyer at the address, noting the date and time they were there and return both the completed original and copy warning/violation letter to the CSOs at the end of the business day. The CSOs will mail the original to the user and file the copy. 5. Upon receipt of the copies, the CSOs will file by address order, checking to determine if the user has previously received a warning. If so, a copy of the notices will be sent to Daryl Sul ander. Receipt of the copy by the Finance Department will serve as notification that the $100 water use restriction penalty is to be assessed against the next water bill for that water user. CIM APR c:.

The Assessment Committee has met and will be making the following recommendation to the City Council at the April 16 meeting: District 8: (south of 26th Avenue and east of East Medicine Lake Boulevard). 1. Delete 24th Avenue from the program. This is the existing gravel street which dead -ends between Lancaster Lane and the Highway 169 frontage road. By deleting it from the program, the street will remain a gravel unimproved roadway. 2. Decrease the proposed width from 33 feet to a range of 25 to 33 feet. The width will be reduced from 33 feet to a minimum of 25 feet to lessen and reduce the impact on trees and existing structures very close to the right-of- way. 3. Hold a public hearing on the extension of a watermain along 25th Avenue to provide a public water supply prior to the reconstruction of 25th Avenue. 4. Because of the reduced width of the proposed streets, the estimated assessment rate would be reduced from $25 to $20 per front foot.' — s SUBJECT: 1990 STREET RECONSTRUCTION PROGRAM April 6, 1990 Page Two Districts 4 and 11: (Four Seasons area) No changes are recommended to the proposed program for these districts. District 10: (Meadowood Addition and Candlelight Terrace Addition adjacent to County Road 101) 1. No concrete curb and gutter would be constructed within this area. 2. Where it is necessary to remove the existing bituminous curbing when the street is reconstructed, it would be replaced with a like bituminous curb. Based upon the recommendations of the Assessment Committee, the estimated costs would be as follows: Estimate Assessment Rates Street Reconstruction (All Districts) Widening with curb & gutter (District 8) Curb & gutter (District 10) An ExamDle for a 100 Ft.

FGM:kh attachment Date PN FN LN BN SN CTY, STA ZIP (i CIN OF PLYMOUTFF SUBJECT: 1990 STREET RECONSTRUCTION PROGRAM - CITY PROJECT NO. 001 At the March 19, 1990 public hearing on the proposed 1990 Street Reconstruction Program, the City Council referred the proposed program back to the Assessment Committee for further consideration. The Assessment Committee will recommend the following changes to the full Council at their April 16 meeting. District 8: 24th Avenue be deleted from the program; decrease proposed width for reconstructed streets to a range of 25 to 33 feet to save trees and lessen impacts; extension of public watermain up 25th Avenue to be considered at a public hearing prior to reconstruction of 25th Avenue; assessment rate for widening and concrete curb and gutter reduced from $25 to $20 per front foot. Districts 4 and 11: No changes are recommended to the proposed program for these Districts. District 10: Where existing bituminous curbing is removed it will be replaced with like bituminous. A substantial street improvement program is still being recommended for all four Districts and with good reason. The City is responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of 217 miles of paved City streets. This represents a substantial investment which can best be preserved by a long range annual reconstruction program designed to efficiently extend the life of these streets. This is the primary reason why the City Council adopted a resolution on June 27, 1988, establishing a policy for an annual street reconstruction program to be financed 70% by the City and by assessing 30% to the abutting and benefiting properties. The estimated $2.4 million program proposed for 1990 will be considered by the City Council at their April 16 meeting at approximately 7:00 p.m. This is a public meeting and you are invited to attend. Your estimated assessment based on the revised program is given below. Please refer to the attached map for your District location.

Moore'. of Public Works SUBJECT: RECONSTRUCTION OF I-494 AND COMPLETION OF COUNTY ROAD 6 INTERCHANGE HIGHWAY 55 TO CARLSON PARKWAY CITY PROJECT NO. 250 Today, I attended a preconstruction meeting conducted by the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) on the reconstruction of I-494 between Carlson Parkway and Highway 55. This project also includes the completion of the County Road 6 Interchange. Schaffer Contracting Company is the contractor who has been awarded the contract. The following are general items of interest: o The contractor will begin work on April 16. o The first phase of the project will be the widening of the shoulders on the southbound lanes of I-494. The southbound lanes will be widened in order that four lanes of traffic, two in each direction, can be allowed. This widening is expected to take until mid May. During the widening, two lanes of traffic will be maintained. o In mid May, all of the traffic will be shifted to the widened southbound lanes. This will allow the contractor to reconstruct the northbound lanes. This reconstruction is expected to take until mid July. o In mid July, after the northbound lanes are constructed, all of the traffic would be shifted to the northbound lanes and the contractor would reconstruct the southbound lanes. This work is expected to take until the first of October. - 0 The contractor has 100 working days to complete the work. o It will be necessary to close the pedestrian trail under I-494 during construction. The existing old railroad bridge is being removed and it is being replaced by a pedestrian underpass. Because of hazards to pedestrians during construction, they cannot be permitted within the construction area. FGM:kh JAMES J.

A municipality can only expend funds for a valid public purpose. Expenditure of funds for work performed on private property is normally not considered a valid public purpose. The Minnesota Attorney General has concluded that municipalities are not authorized to spend public funds for the upkeep or maintenance of a street that is not a legally existing public street. PZ-. Attorney General,, 396-b (November 20, 1951). There are a few limited situations where municipalities do have authority to perform maintenance operations on private property.

The involvement of local officials is a key component of the League's legislative program. Local officials contribute to the League's ability to advance city positions by identifying issues, studying and recommending solutions, voting on legislative policies at the Legislative Policy Adoption Conference, and through personal contact with their legislators. LMC legislative policies have high credibility with legislators because they know that the policies are determined through the grass roots involvement of many local officials. To encourage increased participation of city officials --particularly elected officials --the League will revamp its committee process this year. We will attempt to hold most committee meetings on Saturdays in the hope of increasing participation by elected officials. We will also attempt to make less demand on committee members' time by limiting the number of meetings to three --one meeting at the League's annual conference, one meeting during the summer, and one meeting in early October. We encourage elected and appointed officials from throughout the state to sign up for a committee. There are six legislative committees dealing with different policy areas. The committees are: DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES: general development issues including tax increment finance, industrial development bonds, redevelopment, economic development authorities, and housing. ELECTIONS AND ETHICS: election and ethical issues, such as voter registration, local government elections, and combined city/school district elections. FEDERAL LEGISLATIVE: develop positions on federal policy issues in coodination with the National League of Cities on issues such as fiscal relations, rural development, housing, environment, and transportation policies. CIM APR 06'90 GENERAL LEGISLATION AND PERSONNEL: comparable worth, open meetings, tort liability and insurance, purchasing authority, mandates, charitable gambling, licensing of contractors, competitive bidding issues, personnel, PERA, emergency medical services, veterans' preference, and military leave issues. LAND USE, -ENERGY, ENVIRONMENT, AND TRANSPORTATION: wastewater treatment, solid and hazardous waste, ground and surface water management, land use (planning, annexation, eminent domain, and adverse possession), energy conservation, and transportation issues. REVENUE SOURCES: municipal finance, levy limits, property tax law, local government aid, and truth in taxation. In May 1990, I will appoint new legislative committee members. The committee appointments are for a two-year period (1990/91) that coincides with the state's biennium. The League strives to achieve balanced representation from all regions of the state on each committee. I can't guarantee you will be placed on the committee of your first choice, but every effort will be made to do so. PLEASE RANK YOUR PREFERENCE FROM 1 (FIRST) TO 6 (LAST).

Cl % Apt �. � � r CITY OF PLYMOUTH PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES MARCHP 14, 1990 The Regular Meeting of the City of Plymouth Planning Commission was called to order at 7:30 p.m. MEMBERS PRESENT: Chairman Richard Plufka, Commissioners Michael Stulberg, Larry Marofsky, John Wire, Dennis Zylla, Joy Tierney and Hal Pierce. MEMBERS ABSENT: None STAFF PRESENT: Community Development Coordinator Charles Dillerud, City Engineer Dan Faulkner and Planning Secretary Jackie Watson. MOTION by Commissioner Stulberg, seconded by Commissioner Wire MOTION TO APPROVE to approve the minutes of February 28, 1990. Vote. 6 Ayes. MOTION carried. Commissioner Marofsky MOTION CARRIED abstained. Chairman Plufka introduced the request of Lundgren Brothers LUNDGREN BROTHERS Construction for a RPUD Concept Plan, Preliminary Plat/Plan, CONSTRUCTION (90009) Rezoning from FRO to R1 -A and Conditional Use Permit for property located north of County Road 24 and south of Highway 55. Coordinator Dillerud reviewed the February 28, 1990 Staff Report. Commissioner Marofsky asked if the two lots located at the northeast corner of the plat would be accessible to City sewer. Engineer Faulkner stated that these two lots would be connected to City sewer by a long service line. Commissioner Marofsky stated that the March 13, 1990 City of Medina letter distributed at the meeting on March 14, 1990 states that Medina had assumed that 34th Avenue would extend into Medina from this project. Coordinator Dillerud stated that there were no plans to extend 34th Avenue into Medina based on City Council direction during review of a Sketch Plan for this site in 1989. Commissioner Zylla stated that both the grading plan and staff report state that there is no area below the 100 year high water elevation. Coordinator Dillerud responded that this statement should have been "no area of this plat is within required City Storm Water Drainage." Dr. C' 6 �° X- L Planning Commission Minutes March 14, 1990 Page 35 Commissioner Zylla asked if there were any DNR protected wetlands on the site. Coordinator Dillerud responded that there are no DNR protected wetlands on the site, based on Engineering Division records. A DNR wetland may exist in Medina adjacent to this site - and spill over into Plymouth slightly. Commissioner Zylla questioned how much storage will be required for the runoff on this plat. Engineer Faulkner stated that the storm water discharge from this site will be compatible with the current discharge of water from the site. Chairman Plufka introduced Mr. Terry Forbord of Lundgren Brothers and Mr. Bob Payette of Sathre-Berquist (the consulting engineers for the project). .Mr. Forbord stated that the petitioner would prefer that the Planning Commission consider and recommend approval of the entire petition, which includes the concept plan and preliminary plan, rather than approving them separately and possibly delaying approval of the preliminary plan. He said that the developer had lost time waiting for the approval of the Capital Improvement Program by the Council, and that they are anxious to proceed with the development. Mr. Forbord explained the unique characteristics of the site and the developer's decision to develop it as a PUD. He stated that much of the property is wetlands and their desire is to maintain as much of the wetland area as possible. The PUD plan allows for the smaller lot size. He stated that the developer also wants to build housing which is affordable in approximately the $143,000 range. He explained that the smaller lot size also lowers development costs which helps to keep the housing costs down. Mr. Forbord stated that the developer wishes to develop Lots 1 and 14 in the northwest corner of the site and not leave them as wetland area. He said that this area is Type 2 wetland, which is rarely wet, and that they had worked with both the DNR and the Army Corps on these lots. Mr. Forbord stated that, in response to Item 13 of the Engineer's Memorandum, the developer would install a stop sign at Zircon and 32nd Avenue to slow traffic, but they did not feel they should be required to install an eastbound bypass lane to improve County Road 24, which would be of no benefit to the developer. Discussing Item 24 of the Engineer's Memorandum, Mr. Forbord stated that they wished to have medians at the major entrances to the site which would be maintained by the Homeowners C1� NPS' 0 0 '9.0 Planning Commission Minutes March 14, 1990 Page 36 Association. He said that monuments at the point of arrival to a development are important. to Mr. Forbord said that the developer had not given Medina any assurance that any of the roads from the development would continue into Medina. Mr. Forbord also asked that Item 24 d in the Engineer's Memo, the second sentence, be reworded to read "The rate and volume of storm water runoff from the proposed plat shall not exceed the existing runoff (added were the words "and volume of storm water")." Commissioner Zylla asked Mr. Forbord how many acres of wetland will exist on the site. Mr. Forbord responded that there will be 17 acres of wetland remaining on the site which will be private open space. The developer will fill 1.2 acres of Federal identified wetlands, but no DNR protected wetlands. Mr. Forbord stated that the developer wished to enhance the wetland areas which would be owned and maintained by the Homeowners Association. Coordinator Dillerud reaffirmed to the Commission that the City had not made any assurances to the City of Medina on roads into Medina from this development. Engineer Faulkner stated that the Engineering Department objects to medians for maintenance reasons. He said that the installation of a stop sign does not slow traffic and that the eastbound auxiliary lane on County Road 24 was going to be discussed with the Hennepin County Engineering Department. Chairman Plufka opened the Public Hearing. Chairman Plufka introduced Mr. Michael Larson of 18620 32nd Avenue North. Mr. Larson stated that his concerns were how the 32nd Avenue North monument signage proposed would affect Amber Woods; the drainage ditch plans for the development along the Amber Woods border; and whether there would be water standing in the ponds. Coordinator Dillerud responded that the signage plans will be a part of the final plat. Mr. Forbord responded that the ponds will be designed to have water in them. Chairman Plufka introduced Ms. Pat Raskob of 2562 Holyname Drive. Ms. Raskob stated that she was concerned about any runoff to the west into Medina since there has not been any, except in severe storms. Planning Commission Minutes March 14, 1990 Page 37 Chairman Plufka introduced Ms. Mary Weinzierl of 18820 County Road 24. Ms. Weinzierl stated she was concerned about the setback distance proposed because of the high water table in the area. She said she was also concerned over the large number of houses to be built on this wet area. Chairman Plufka reintroduced Ms. Pat Raskob. Ms. Raskob stated she was concerned that the geese nesting area on the west side of the site would be disturbed. Mr. Payette stated that only the extreme southeast corner of the wetland on the west side of the site would be altered. Chairman Plufka closed the Public Hearing. MOTION by Commissioner Marofsky, seconded by Commissioner MOTION TO APPROVE Stulberg to recommend approval of the Concept Plan for Lundgren Brothers Construction, Inc. for the Leuer Property located northeast of County Road 24 and Brockton Lane; amending Condition No. 6 to allow 25 feet setbacks for the front yard and removing the last sentence of Condition No. 6 regarding developer proof for the need for 25 foot setbacks. Commissioner Marofsky stated that his reason for changing the front yard setback to 25 feet was to allow the developer to build homes further away from the wetlands. He observed that most of the proposed lots are adjacent to wetland areas. Discussion continued regarding the setback and smaller lot size for the PUD as they would compare to a conventional lot. MOTION by Commissioner Wire, seconded by Chairman Plufka to MOTION TO AMEND restore the original language of the last sentence in Condition No. 6 proposed by staff with the Staff Report of February 28, 1990. Roll Call Vote. 4 Ayes. Commissioners Tierney, Marofsky and VOTE - MOTION CARRIED Stulberg, Nay. MOTION carried on a 4-3 vote. Chairman Plufka asked if there is a provision regarding a PUD where minimum lot size could be set by the Commission. Coordinator Dillerud stated that minimum lot size could be set as a condition of a PUD. Discussion continued on the smaller lot sizes of this development and the blending of a development such as this with the Amber Woods development that adjoins where larger lots would abut. Gd P.

Commissioner Marofsky asked if the lot size calculation included the pond areas. Mr. Payette stated that pond areas were included in the lot size calculations in some cases, but excluded where the ponds were within HOA designated outlots.

APPROVAL OF FEBRUARY 22, 1990 MINUTES The Committee approved the February 22, 1990 meeting minutes as submitted. II. REVIEW OF JANUARY RIDERSHIP STATISTICS A. Dial -A -Ride - Total February ridership for Dial -A -Ride was 2,167 passengers for a weekday average of 95 per day, and weekend average of 34 per day. The total passengers per hour were 2.9, and total miles per passenger 6.9. The recovery ratio was at 15.2% for February. This is an improvement over January in all respects. B. Metrolink - Ridership statistics for February show that Metrolink continues below the target of 551 at an average for February of 514. The cumulative average year-to-date is 526. PACT members noted that since October the ridership statistics supplied by Medicine Lake Lines do not seem to correspond with what they have seen on the vehicles. They question the accuracy of the numbers. Frank Boyles stated that perhaps this was the reason that Laidlaw was reluctant to assume the responsibility for the revenue stream. III. FOLLOW UP ITEMS FROM PREVIOUS MEETINGS Given the fact that Medicine Lake Lines will no longer operate the service, this item was skipped as new vehicles will be used in the future. IV. IDENTIFICATION OF NEW AREA CONCERNS AND RECOMMENDATIONS. „ e -- The The committee discussed their concerns regarding the MTC assumption of Metrolink service. Concerns were raised about the continuity of service, especially pickup point downtown, exit from the "Sane Lane," drivers, farecards, monopoly issues, the passenger at Quaker and the South Highway 55 frontage road, the park and ride lots at Four Seasons and Maple Grove Mall, etc. Frank Boyles stated that the system will be operated identical to what is out there prior to April 1. These services will be provided through June 9, at which time some changes will be made in the service supplied to the northeast area of the commmunity. The City and MTC are committed to ensuring that the service continues every bit as good, or better than presently provided. Frank Boyles asked that PACT members be fair, but let him know in the event there are problems. CIM APR 06 ,go MINUTES - PLYMOUTH ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON TRANSIT March 29, 1990 Page 2 V. DISCUSSION OF PROPOSED DIAL -A -RIDE REVISIONS The committee reviewed surveys received -from ten passengers. This was a very poor response rate given the fact that over 100 surveys were passed out to passengers. Kevin Barton stated that since January, the denial rate has increased substantially during mid-day hours. He expressed concern that the discontinuation of mid-day Metrolink service on June 11 in northeast Plymouth would likely increase the demand for Dial -A -Ride during mid-day hours, i.e., 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and therefore, the number of trip denials. He suggested that instead of adding another peak period vehicle, that we hold off until July to determine what changes are likely to occur as a result of the northeast mid-day service discontinuation. He suggested that as a practical matter we would discontinue service to Maple Grove downtown and New Hope K -Mart without advertising as such. The fare increase would be held until such time as an addition bus is added to either mid-day or peak hour. The committee agreed that this would be an appropriate action. Kevin Barton will provide a written report and recommendation on this subject for the April meeting. VI. STATUS OF METROLINK MEMO TO PASSENGERS AND ARTICLE - PACT members reviewed the memorandum that abeen received by passengers both from Medicine Lake Bus Lines and Frank Boyles. PACT members agreed that the memorandums provide comprehensive information on changes in the program. VII. PROPOSED PROCESS FOR PACT AND RIDER REVIEW OF RFP The committee agreed that it would discuss this issue again at the April meeting. A suggestion was made that passengers be surveyed sometime in August to determine what their likes and dislikes are about the service and that these results be incorporated in the Request for Proposal. Frank Boyles stated that a copy of the Request for Proposal would be provided with the agenda packet for the April meeting for PACT members to review. VIII. OTHER BUSINESS The committee discussed schedule document for the northeast area. There was agreement that the colors and format of the schedules should resemble the Plymouth Metrolink schedule and that the name should be changed accordingly. Dial -A -Ride should be contained in the schedule as well. Changes recommended by MTC including all routes reading from left to right would be appropriate. They believe that the maps should be included in the schedule and that perhaps some sort of color distinction or name distinction would help to identify this schedule as separate from the original Metrolink schedule. Aaron Issacs of the MTC has indicated that a draft of the schedule will be available before the next PACT meeting. Cry AFIR 0 6 'a T- 7-Z MINUTES - PLYMOUTH ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON TRANSIT March 29, 1990 Page 2 The committee discussed the Four Seasons and Maple Grove park and ride lot. Frank Boyles stated that he will contact Paul Buharin and attempt to assure that these park and ride lots -continue to be available. The committee discussed the colors and design of the new vehicles and agreed that it would be appropriate for the City staff and providers to work together to come up with an acceptable design to assure that the buses are painted as soon as possible to ease in recognition of the Plymouth Metrolink vehicles as opposed to other MTC vehicles. Steve Mahowald stated that in any case, cards will be provided in the front passenger side window, using the same route descriptions as are presently used that riders will not be confused about the appropriate bus to use.

Because of the City Council's discussion, I want to highlight a number of points in the resolution: 1. Because of the experience last year, the City Council has restricted the cleanup curfew each evening to 10 p.m., rather than 11 p.m. The Council's desire is to assure, insofar as possible, that there is not excessive noise outside after 10 p.m. Community Club members are responsible for conveying this information to carnival workers in an attempt to minimize any incidences such as those which took place last year. 2. A condition 7 was added which requires the Community Club to ensure that no outdoor sound amplification equipment is used on the property in association with this event. This includes "boom boxes," electrical speakers, or megaphones of any sort, etq. , In addition to these provisions, the conditions in previous approving resolutions have been carried forward, including the requirement that the Club hire, at their expense, one off-duty Plymouth Police Officer to be present continuously between 9 p.m. and closing each night of the event to enforce the conditions of this resolution and other applicable ordinances and laws.

I am attaching a copy of the program guidelines which clarify the purpose of the program and responsibilities of program sponsors. The central purpose of the program is to clean up vacant private and public property. The program is not intended as a basement or garage clean-out effort, or as a means of disposing of old applicances, tires, or drain oil. Yard wastes (grass clippings and leaves) are also excluded from the program. In the past, our clean up program allowed for yard waste and refuse to be collected together in one dumpster. However, effective January 1, 1990, state statute prohibits the collection of yard waste with refuse. If yard waste is included the homeowner association will be assessed for the refuse hauler costs for disposal ($150 minimum). Plymouth residents have four options for disposing of yard wastes: 1) Leave the grass clippings on your lawn for mulching and/or compost the materials in your own back yard or as part of a homeowners association project. 2) Garbage haulers- licensed in the City have separate yard waste collection programs. Residents should contact their private garbage haulers for specific information on the hauler's yard waste program. Most haulers charge for yard waste disposal. 3) The Citv Council has established a free yard waste disposal site for Plymouth residents only at the City's Public Works facility. The site is sche Tu e-d—to open on April 14. Details will be supplied by letter to homeowner association presidents, cable television, Plymouth News, local newspapers, notice to refuse haulers, and a special mailing to all homeowners.

Bergman, Mayor FROM: Laurie Rauenhorst, City Clerk SUBJECT PHONE CALL TO RESIDENT REGARDING VOTING AT I.S.D. 284 REFERENDUM At your request, I called John Wilson, 225 Niagara Lane, regarding his experience at the School District 284 referendum this week. Mr. Wilson had recently moved and was turned away from the polling place by the election judges because he did not have the appropriate identification to register to vote. He presented his birth certificate, old driver's license, and current homestead card as proof of residence. I told Mr. Wilson that the City did not administer the election, but I could explain why the incident occurred. I agreed that his homestead card proved his residence, but that by state law it is not acceptable proof for voter registration. I read him the portion of the Minnesota State Election Law which states a person may prove residence on election day only by presenting certain forms of identification (copy attached). —Tie state law is quite clear, and because the word "only" is specified, election officials do not have discretion to accept other forms of identification. In fact, each new election day registration card which is forwarded to the State Voter Registration System must be accompanied by an indication of the type of identification presented to the election judge at the polls. I informed him that this problem was certainly not unique. We try to assist voters by providing registration cards in our "New Resident Packets" and by explaining what is needed to prove residence through our newsletter and other publications near election day. He stated he made a mistake in not changing his address on his driver's license or sending in a voter registration card when he moved. He thanked me for explaining the reason the incident occurred and asked that I pass his thanks on to you for the time'you issue with him. Mr. Wilson stated he was still but was glad he was a Plymouth resident because he received! cc: James G.

As a result of our discussion, you asked me to revise the method of billing the general legal work by departments on an experimental basis. Currently, all of the general legal work is included in the monthly invoice as Matter No. 32. As of April 1, 1990, the general legal work for the City will be separately accounted for by individual matter numbers for each department: 32A (Administration) 32CD (Community Development) 32F (Finance) 32PR (Park and Recreation) 32PS (Public Safety) 32PW (Public Works) The change will be.reflected in the May invoice, which covers the services rendered in April. If the change is responsive to the City's needs, we can implement it on a permanent basis. Sincerely, VamesJ. Thomson, r.

Blank, Director of Parks and Recreation SUBJECT: SWAN LAKE NEIGHBORHOOD PARK - NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS On Wednesday, April 4, we held our second neighborhood design meeting for Swan Lake Neighborhood Park. The Council Chambers were filled to capacity with over 100 adults and children in attendance. At our first meeting, on Thursday, March 29, Barry Warner presented three different plans for review and comment from the audience. Based on the suggestions for the items that people did and did not like, Barry was able to pull together one single plan for presentation at Wednesday night's meeting. With a couple of exceptions, the audience showed overwhelming support for the development of the park and the plan as shown to this date. A copy of the proposed plan is available in our office and can be viewed by the Council and the public at any time. This item will be taken up officially by the Park and Recreation Advisory Commission at their Thursday, April 19, meeting. If the Commission proceeds to approve a master plan, it will be forwarded to the City Council for their review on May 7. The one major issue has been the discussion of providing parking within the park boundaries. By an overwhelming majority, the consensus of the group was that there should be no parking provided within the park boundaries at this time. By a slight majority, the group felt that proof of parking would best be shown on the north end of the park closest to the playground equipment.

Development Review Committee review of the application commenced immediately together with activity to retain a qualified consultant to review the application on behalf of the City of Plymouth, as the Ordinance specifies. It should be noted that the review by the outside consultant is at the expense of the project applicant. On August 29, 1989, we drafted a letter to Hennepin County reviewing 35 items that are in need of modification; additional clarification; or additional information. These review comments were only the result of review by the City of Plymouth staff and usual retained utilities and traffic consultants. On July 24, 1989, we advised Hennepin County that the City of Plymouth had selected Black and Veatch, Kansas City, to be the consultant that would review technical aspects of their application on our behalf. On August 4, 1989, Hennepin County delivered the necessary financial deposit and authorization to proceed with the review of the application by the outside consultant. On August 10, 1989, we instructed Black and Veatch to proceed with their review. Black and Veatch completed their review and on October 18, 1989, we transmitted a copy of the Black and Veatch report, together with a list of 34 additional design -related items requiring additions, modifications of clarifications related to plans that had been submitted by Hennepin County for this facility. These additional design review items were generated from the report presented by Black and Veatch. To date, neither our design review letter of August 29, 1989, nor our design review letter of October 18, 1989 has been responded to by Hennepin County. The project remains in Stage 2 of the development review process, and cannot proceed until the applicant has provided responses we have requested.

Without that information, your application is not complete. Following a review by consultants selected by the City of Plymouth (Black & Veatch) of your application materials, another letter was sent to you on October 18, 1989, listing 24 requests for additional information -or recommendations for application modification. It has now been 6 months since we last communicated with you concerning this application, and we have received no response to either of our letters requesting additional information and/or modifications. Your application remains incomplete. Please advise us of your intentions with respect to this application at the earliest possible date. As is the practice with all applications submitted to the City of Plymouth where no response has been received within a reasonable period of time, please be advised that if we have not heard from you with respect to this application by March 20, 1990, we will consider the application to have been withdrawn, and we will proceed to refund a portion of your application fees.

The citizens of White Bear Lake knew that the best way to secure a better world for their youth was to take the initiative to take the first step locally. In tum, it sparked a wave of action and debate that is still gathering momentum all over the country. Upon learning of the results of Univer- sity of Minnesota research into where local teens buy cigarettes, City Council Member Pat Butcher started a task force to combat teen smoking. The task force's conclusions included the consideration of an ordinance to ban cigarette machines. On Tuesday, October 10, 1989, the White Bear Lake City Council passed this ordinance by a vote of 4 -to -1. .In recent years the people of White Bear Lake have learned that, through kfass-roots organizing efforts, their voices would be heard locally. Now they find their efforts being repeated in neighboring communities as well as large metropolitan communities throughout Minnesota. They are ac - 11 4. vy tively urging other communities to fight for total bans, not the compromise versions the Tobacco Institute's coalition has offered city councils. The fight is not over. White Bear families realized that simply telling their children to say, "no," to smoking would not arm them fully when confronted by millions of dollars worth of slick national advertising aimed at them each day. Although they realized that no single community's actions would counteract those power- fully enticing national advertising cam- paigns, they knew from experience that it would make a difference. As White Bear Lake Mayor Gerald Briggs has stated, "I'm hoping this will spread to the commuities around us." They could, however, work together to reduce the acceptability of teen smoking through several grass-roots efforts. The key was to strengthen the antismoking message being relayed in the homes and schools through education and promo- tion. In order to approach the issues of youth tobacco use and addiction, the task force also addressed the issue of accessibility when it proposed the (Tobacco Vending Bans to page 6) Spdhsoring Organizations: American Cancer Society - Minnesota Affiliate - American Heart Association, Minnesota Affiliate - American Lung Association of Minnesota - Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota-MedCenters - Park Nicollet Medical Center Foundation - Minnesota Medical Association Donor Foundation: Edwards Memorial Trust T16 (3/90) (Tobacco Vending Bans from page 1) ordinance banning tobacco sales through vending machines. In addition to being points of accessibility, tobacco vending machines have become symbols of acceptability to our youth. The Tobacco Youth Project found that "over half of tenth graders who smoked named vending machines as a primary source of cigarettes." There are those who say that the Minnnesota State legislature has already enacted legislation which prohibits, and strongly penalizes, the sales of cigarettes to minors. That should be plenty, shouldn't it? Why should individual communities be concerned? The reason is they realize that the legislature cannot do it all alone. Input from the local community influences state legislation. Our repre- sentatives rely on us to inform them as they work with us to accomplish these legislative tasks. We must let them know what is important to us, individu- ally and as a community. We can ac- complish this by writing letters to our city council representatives as well as our legislators. It is also important to share information with our neighbors in the community and to generate letters to the editors of local newspapers. In order to keep informed and updated regarding the issues, it is helpful to contact citizen groups, schools, business and community organizations where efforts may be underway already. The citizens of White Bear Lake would not let the size of the problem stop them. They knew that taking one step at a time was better than doing nothing. They coordinated their efforts, worked hard and hoped for the best -- and the results are still impacting White Bear and communities all over the state. But the fight is far from over. More concerned citizens who care about the future of youth are needed to volunteer their special interests and skills.

On February 25, 1989, 99% of passengers who ride on commercial airline flights will do so in a smoke - six hours or less are required to be smoke-free - including those to and from Alaska and Hawaii. We would like to thank representative Martin Sabo who suggested the compromise between legislation. Without his leadership we might have had only a two-hour ban. Some common questions and answers regarding this new law include: • What if a flight is delayed in the air, or on the ground, and taakelonger than six hours? The ban will still apply as long as the scheduled phihime is six hours or less. • What is the penalty for smoking in violation of the ban on flights of six hours or less? Flights and House versions of this Civil penalty of up to $1,000.00 for each offense. Tampering with a smoke detector in an airplane lavatory results in a $2,000.00 fine. With regard to.lhe law, how is "flight” defined? A flight is any in l segment between two cities.

Seeking to thwart Hennepin County's plans to build a $10 million garbage - handling station in south Minneapo- lis, the City Council Friday urged the state to halt the project. On a 9-4 vote, the council passed a L resolution urging the state to impose 77, a moratorium on the project, pend- s ing more study by a legislative com- 3 • mission. The council clearly was irked that _ Bloomington and Hopkins had suc- cessfully lly batted away plans. for sta- 1M APR 0 6 tqt "They bail out, ind we swallow the bitter pili," said City Council Presi- dent Sharon Sayles Belton, a cospon- sor of the resolution*. But Council Member Steve Cramer, who opposed the resolution, said scuttling the long -planned project would have a dramatic effect on the city's solid -waste and sanitation sys- tem. He said the proposal was `com- ing out of the blue," had not been adequately studied and would wors- en the .city's already -strained rela- tionship with Hennepin County. Metropolitan Council, the Minne- a retail business. apolts vote is a familiar refrain of NIMBY: "Not In My Back.Yard." " ... I'm very distressed by this spreading attitude that nobody has to take responsibility for the solid -waste problem," he said. Hennepin County has acquired more than 20 houses and businesses to make way for the project, which would cover three city blocks in the Phillips neighborhood. Spartz. said construction is expected to begin next year. The proposal calls for a large-scale expansion of an ex- isting transfer station. The site is bounded -by Hiawatha and 20th Avs. and 29th St. and the Soo Line tracks. But neighbors are rallying against the project. Council Member Tony Scal- lon, the other cosponsor of the reso- lution, and Council Vice President Brian Coyle suggested that the site might be used for economic develop- ment projects instead. Mayor Don Fraser said he has not decided whether he will support the L council's plan. "I'm not anxious to create problems for the county, but on the other hand, I know that resi- dents ... are quite concerned. I will be taking a careful look at it." The council's resolution supports leg- islation in the Minnesota House in- troduced by Rep. Karen Clark, DFL - Minneapolis. She said the conditions in the proposed moratorium are drawn so tightly that it would apply only to the south Minneapolis sta- tion. It would apply to transfer sta- tions within 1,000 feet of a residence, a residential health-care facility, a. food -related commercial business or, County commissioner Jeff Spartz, whose district includes the proposed site near Lake St. and Hiawatha Av., called the city's action irresponsible. "I'm disappointed," he said. "Am I angry? No. The city doesn't have a record of being part of the solution on waste -management issues. -. - - Minneapolis was irresponsible as hell on the siting of the (garbage incinera- tor). It ended up downtown because they were fighting us on all the sites that were better." For Steve Keefe, chairman of the Garbage continued on page 7B . - Clark said the proposed site is in a neighborhood that's "loaded with kids.... It's going to make life miser- able for many of us," she said. Her plan will receive its first airing in the House on Monday. According to the resolution, the mor- atorium would expire once the Legis- lative Commission on Waste Man- agement can study how to "more equitably share the burden and re- sponsibility" for solid waste. Henne- pin County abandoned plans to build stations in Hopkins and Blooming- ton largely because of opposition from residents and businesses. Sayles Belton said other cities are not doing their part. "There is no equity in the system right now," she said. The stations are intended to shift garbage from collector trucks to larg- er trucks for hauling to plants, where it will be burned for energy or con- verted to fuel. The existing station in Minneapolis is on a.crowded 1.3 -acre site at the corner of 29th St. and 20th Av. S. The plan that cleared the council was opposed by Cramer and Council Members Joan Niemiec, Alice Rain- ville and Joan Campbell. Campbell called it "totally irresponsible." The council will have another chance to influence the project when Henne- pin County applies for a conditional - use permit from the city. Spartz said that will happen six to eight months before construction begins.

Johnson, President Medicine Lake Lines 835 Decatur Ave. No. Golden Valley, MN 55427 Dear Mr. Johnson: This morning as I emerged from my last Medicine Lake Lines bus ride to downtown Minneapolis there was a large lump in my throat. Bruce had just given us his "goodbye" speech and it was just indicative of the kind of treatment we have experienced throughout the ten years I have been riding with you people. You have had such a carina group of drivers - I can honestly say t':at I have never met one that has not gone out of their way to be courtp-us and thoughtful. So many things come to mind - Gary and his cray,.- Friday the lath "prizes" and polls on who showers in the morning and why; at night! Dear Tommy who picked me up and lifted me right over a large snow drift downtown (I walk with a cane), Eric and Willie giving me such extra special attention because of my slight disability plus Guy, Steve, Ken, Bruce, Jim - they are the ones I know best, but all the others are wonderful too. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your wonderful service. No doubt we will get transported back and forth in an acceptable manner, but it just won't be the same. As I have stated before, I am for less government control rather than more and I regret the fact that another private concern has been eliminated and the monolithic public entity has "won" again. Please give my best wishes to all the drivers and I wish them all well.

Robinson - Fire Chief FROM: Steven Correll - Police Services Supervisorl;cp� SUBJECT: APPRECIATION OF EFFORT BY BILL HEBERT I recently received a note from Community Service Officer Marc Bruning detailing the events of March 31, 1990 where Officer Bruning and Officer Digatono found it necessary to dispatch a very sick skunk in a residential area. After shooting this sick skunk, it was determined that the odor released from the animal's body was exceedingly pungent, even for a skunk! Officer Bruning, familiar with the equipment stored at Fire Station 3, inquired whether any hazard materials suits were available that were scheduled for destruction. Bill Hebert informed Officer Bruning that there was such equipment available, and that he himself would be willing to wear the suit, pickup the dead animal, and place it in a sealed bag. I would like to join Marc Bruning and Officer Digatono in thanking Bill Hebert formally for his extra effort in assisting with such a distasteful task. SC/sb cc: Chief Richard J. Carlquist Lt.

Larry Wasnick Charge: Fail to Secure Building Permits Dear Mr. Willis: I am writing to inform you of the fine work that Joe Ryan did in the above case. Briefly, Mr. Wasnick has been charged twice within the past year in the City of Plymouth with performing remodeling work without obtaining the necessary building permits. In addition, Mr. Wasnick has been doing plumbing and electrical work without using licensed personnel. This has created several dangerous conditions which now have been remedied thanks in large part to Joe's diligence in his investigation of Mr. Wasnick's activities. My file is too thick to go into many of the details involving this case, but you should know that Joe uncovered several potentially dangerous construction conditions which have now been corrected. As a result of his convictions, Mr. Wasnick has been sentenced to 32 days in jail, to pay over $2,000 in restitution and to pay $500 in fines to the City. Joe did a fine job, and I want to be certain you are aware of it. Sincerely, Ste en M.

Since the parcel abuts 17 private properties, and because the parcel has no public purpose, it was likely that the parcel would continue in tax forfeiture in perpetuity unless it was divided and consolidated with adjacent private properties. This action is consistent with County and City desires to keep parcels in private ownership insofar as possible. The City Council considered whether it would be more appropriate to forget about the cartway and let it remain tax forfeit, or acquire it for conveyance to the abutting property owners. After some discussion, they concluded that conveying the parcel to abutting property owners is the right thing to do even though it would be more expensive than the do nothing alternative. The City Council directed that the staff contact the property owners abutting the cartway to determine whether they would be interested in receiving the portion of the cartway adjacent to their property at no cost. Virtually every property owner agreed that this would be appropriate. The City Attorney's office then began working to complete the necessary legal steps to clear the title on this property. What appeared to be a simple, straightforward transaction, turned into a complicated protracted tangle of legal actions. After two years, and well over $2,000 in legal fees, the City has been successful in clearing the title so that the property can be conveyed to the adjacent property owners. Early on in this process I talked with staff members at the County to determine what degree of assistance the County would provide in this effort. My belief was that since the City has been willing to expend the i CIM QP? 3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD, PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447, TELEPHONE (612) 550-5000 Jeff Strand April 4, 1990 Page 2 effort and expense of clearing the title for the mutual benefit of the City and County, that the County should be willing to absorb any and all fees associated with the title transfer registration, etc. You have advised me that all fees for this parcel would amount to $40.68. You have indicated that only the County Board can waive the fees. I am aware that the County Board has a policy with respect to selling tax forfeit parcels back to the City. The policy appears to be a sound one since it is designed to minimize municipal real estate adventures. I think you will agree that this situation is a unique one which justifies an exception to the County's normal practice. I am requesting that the County Board authorize the private sale of this tax forfeit parcel to the City of Plymouth in accordance with the attached resolution 90-224, adopted by the Plymouth City Council on March 19, 1990 and waiver of all associated registration and division fees. Upon completion of this transaction, we will convey the parcels to the abutting property owners to become part of their homestead. There would be no cost whatsoever to the property owner for this transaction. I believe that the action proposed by the City represents sound public policy and that the County Board should authorize an exception to their policy in this instance. Please let me know when this item is scheduled for the County Board agenda in order that I may be present to respond to questions. nce b1 a o es Assist nt City Manager FB:kec attachment cc: County Board Members Dale Ackmann, County Administrator James G.

We have had an increasing number of reports that some dog owners are not cleaning up after their pets when they take them to city parks and on trails. This is becoming a major problem. Dogs are certainly welcome in parks and on trails as long as they are leashed and as long as their owners clean up after them. However, it appears as though many dog owners are disregarding the city animal control ordinance in regard to cleaning up after their dogs. The city does not have enough people on its park maintenance staff to allow us to clean up after dogs. The cost to add the staff to do so would be prohibitive. The simpler and less expensive solution is for each dog owner to clean up after his or her pet. This will ensure that each of us leaves the parks and trails in good condition. Simply carry a plastic or paper bag with you when you exercise your pet. Using the bag to pick up your dog's droppings and then properly disposing of it will go a long way in solving this problem. We are sending this letter to all Plymouth residents who have licensed their dogs as required by ordinance. There may be other dog owners who are not aware of the city's requirements. Therefore, I would appreciate it if you would please share this information with anyone you know who owns a dog in the city and who we may have missed. Thanks for your cooperation. Let's work together so there is no need to "watch our step." I hope you and your pet enjoy the city parks and trails! Sincerely, Kim M.

I have reviewed your claim for a refund of rezoning and park dedication fees, and I find as follows: 1. The procedure whereby you were required to apply for and pay fees on the rezoning petition to bring your site into conformance with the guiding was consistent with practices of the City in similar circumstances. The inference your attribute to Myra Gibson, a member of my staff, with respect to the City being responsible for rezoning "on their own" when a Guide Plan change has been approved is incorrect. 2. I have enclosed a copy of City Council Resolution 90-115 regarding park dedication and payment of fees in lieu of dedication. I have highlighted the pertinent sections of that policy resolution for your review. I can find no basis within that resolution to exempt you from the $825 fee -in - lieu, since you did create a new building lot that is eligible for a new dwelling unit with the approval of the "Bremer Addition." Mr. Bremer, I find no basis for your claim for a refund of fees paid to the City of Plymouth related to the rezoning and park dedication. Should you have any additional questions concerning this matter, or would wish to speak with me -personally, please feel free to contact me at 550-5059. Sincerely, 1p�o galor4lm_e�sE.

The reason for this is the guiding LA -2 and zoning FRD of my property were inconsistent and as a consequence I had to go through the process of rezoning the property to R2. The City of Plymouth reguided the property a couple of years ago to LA -2, but did not rezone to R2 to make it consistent. It is my contention that this was an error made by the City of Plymouth and consequently cost me a great deal of time and extra money. Extra money not only paid to the City of Plymouth, but also to my developer. In fact I was required by the City of Plymouth to go through a process equal to what any major developer would have gone through for a much larger project. I would also like to mention that a member of the staff of the City of Plymouth in the planning department by the name of Myra also pointed out to me the inconsistency of guiding and zoning, and stated that the City would have to rezone on their own. This was inferred to me more than once by her. Consequently, I feel a refund of my rezoning and park dedication fees equal to $1525.00 should be made as soon as possible. Sincerely, James P.

Your knowledge of the city and its challenges is impressive and your commitment to serving the long-term best interests of all citizens is evident. This was reinforced in the Weekly News overview of the last council meeting wherein you went on record as opposing curb/gutter or street widening at the expense of trees. Right on!!! The glorious tree cover much of Plymouth enjoys is an incredible blessing and benefit, one that has been viciously abused. Without our trees, we'd be just another 'burb visually, another Brooklyn Park. I have enclosed an article that really sparked my interest. I'm not sure if this is an area that the city controls directly, but putting information in the hands of conscientious elected officials is important to all of our futures. If this isn't pertinent to you, perhaps there is a key decision somewhere that should know. I know that you are an avid protector of water and this certainly relates to that precious resource. I copied Carole Helliwell on this article too. Thanks again for the good work you are doing. It is very appreciated. Best wishes, David Shea 14610 13th Avenue North, Plymouth 55447 GROWTH COMPANIES The Growing Potential of a Tiny Green Plant Lemna Corp. uses the aquatic plant duckweed to remediate waste -water contaminants is called "lemna" by scientists and "duckweed" by the rest of us who see it resting on the surface of ponds and lakes all over the world. A tiny, green, rootless plant, duckweed sits on bodies of water, gobbling the elements around it and growing fat on the proceeds. Included in this aquatic plant's unusual diet are nitrogen, phosphorous and even heavy metals—all likely and nettlesome components of a waste -water system. What the plant does in essence is spend its life cleaning water. And in this age of enormous environmental problems, including foul -water systems, it's not sur- prising that someone has decided to har- ness the capabilities of this plant and. put it to service for the community. "Lemna Corporation was founded and is based on the idea of using a natural technology to clean up waste -water sys- tems," says Viet Ngo, founder and CEO of Lemna. "No chemicals, no sludge and very few mechanical parts." The cleansing properties of duckweed have been known for centuries. However, the problem of using lemna's natural ten- dencies to clean waste -water systems has been, "How do you control that gobbling greenery?" Lemna is a free-floating vac- uum cleaner. It may drift to and rest in one corner of a pond, contentedly suck- ing up the elements while another comer of the water is ignored. What Ngo and his colleagues have devised is a system of floating hexagon -shaped grids --each face 10 feet long—that hold the lemna in place. "It is a tiny plant," Ngo says, "very easy to disturb. We are the fust group in the world to come up with a system to neatly manage duckweed with a very high treatment -efficiency rate." Ngo came to the University of Minnesota from Vietnam in 1970 and earned a degree in civil engineering. He worked for a number of years as a prac- ticing engineer and as a consultant in environmental and resource -management engineering. In the early 1980s, he decid- ed to focus his attention on projects that would help clean up the environment, and Lemna Corp. was born soon after. %O�IIXNFSOTA VEN URFS MARCH/APRIL 1990 zg­ �� ='�' t' • � Vii:,: • '<'%: ....-•� '-•a: ...�- •rte ti::' ':e`, Lemna founder Viet Ngo, with a model of one of the company's wastewater systems. "Almost 10 years ago, a group of us got together to work on the technical problems of managing the [duckweed] plant," Ngo says. "After four or five years of testing, we finally developed a system that we felt was good enough to market." The system is worthy enough that the Environmental Protection Agency has granted it the status of an innovative/alter- native technology. That means that the agency—in addition to kicking in a stan- dard percentage of the funding for the improvement of a city's waste water sys- tem — will ante up an additional 25 per- cent if Lemma's technology is involved in a remediation system. The versatile duckweed is found all over the world in both warm- and cold - weather climates. It feeds at an amazing rate, sometimes doubling its own weight in as few as 18 hours. When the plant is by Tim Brady sated, it can be harvested, dried and sold as protein -rich feed for cattle or chicken, Ngo says. The biggest problem he finds in selling the system is that it sounds too good to be true. "It's considered soft technology," he says, "and people have this notion that if there is no button to push, the job is not being done." When it sells duckweed, the Lemna Corp. is not just selling a plant and a bunch of grids, Ngo says: it's selling a new concept in waste -water treatment. "We're very concerned with urban plan- ning," he explains. "We feel that a treat- ment system should blend in with its environment." The mechanisms developed by Lemna make up a slow-moving treat- ment process that requires a good deal of space to be implemented. Waste water must wind its way slowly through a lengthy series of channels before it emerges purified, weeks after it first has encountered the duckweed. At Devil's Lake, N.D., a showcase project for the Lemna Corp., 80 acres have been set aside to contain the system. Ngo and company have tried to incorporate the treatment facility into the fabric of the community by creating a park around it. The area is attractively landscaped with trees, flowers and paths surrounding the munching duckweed. What's more, a new visitor's center will serve as a teach- ing and interpretation center for those curious about the system. For anyone who remains skeptical about picnicking at the sewage disposal plant, it should be noted that duckweed helps eliminate treatment -center odors by "We feel that a treatment system should blend in with its environment," Ngo says. providing an aerobic zone at the surface of the water. It also reduces the mosquito problem at [treatment] centers because it completely covers the pond and doesn't allow the pests access to the water in order to hatch their eggs. Aside from the Devil's Lake project which will be completed this year, Lemna is currently working on 20 other potential projects throughout the country and in France and Israel. Their market includes both cities and industries. (A project at the Del Monte plant in Sleepy Eye, Minn. has effectively eliminated recurring problems in that system, according to Ngo.) Ngo says his company is doing well. Though he won't offer an exact figure on revenues, he says each system costs mil- lions to install, and he reiterates the num- ber of projects currently being planned by Lemna. The corporation has offices in St. Paul and Tampa, Fla., and employs "about a dozen people in technical areas and another 20 to 25 in sales," Ngo says. He's very optimistic about the future of the company, and that's not surprising considering the country's pressing need for effective waste -water systems and the effectiveness of the duckweed treatment. "But this is not a miracle plant, " Ngo cautions. "What we have to do, simply, is optimize the knowledge that is already available." ❑ CIA1 - ti $72,000/yr. 20 year old company seeks 5 top level Managers for opening of new Regional Training Center.

The Minneapolis Workbouse was letting their sewer Mater run into the lake. The neig?:t-ors joined forces and made them make two evaporation pools. When it rained excessively, the pools would run over and into the lake. Finally, when the sewer was put into our area, they were also hooked up. The lake cleansed itself gradually as it is spring fed. We had fish again along »ith turtles, frogs, etc. It was beautiful. The lake itself came up quite high. One of thy? old neighbors told me the lake was 75 feet deep at one time. ban came the nit wits. First one man was allowed to move a two story house when 'tie had an ordinance for one story structures. He !:aO a garage in the basement facing the lake. Then they allowed another one to build a home almost into the lake and not on high enough land. Consequently, Plymouth had to pay $10,000.00 to drain the lake down grinding all the fish, frogs and turtles making a stinking mess. The Swedes in :he territory wanted green lush gra;,•s and had out fertilizers on their lawns and it ran down into the lake filling it with weeds we never had. This went into Gleason Lake along with the excess water they were pumping into it. This ruined Gleason Latae. Then Plymouth constructed an outlet so the excess water in Parkers Lake could run out into other areas. Now the lake is at an all time low so that with water skiers and boats with motors churn the lake up an6 the weeds float into ouV bay area. I raked my fool head off for several years along with the neighbors trying to keep the bay clean. There are two families living on the lake that water ski.

The comments and insights that you gave us were valuable and I certainly appreciate your spending 2 1/2 hours out of your workday with us. This letter summarizes the actions we have taken over the past month and also describes some of our future plans in the areas of 1) Grants and Revenue, 2) Staff Relationships and 3) Field Services. It also presents our thoughts on your question about separate consultants for the design and construction phases of public works projects. GRANTS AND REVENUE Dan Edgerton and I discussed grants and outside revenue for the City of Plymouth with our grant specialists Agnes Ring and Bob Pfefferle. Agnes is preparing a summary of grant programs that are available to Minnesota Cities for a presentation to our staff. When her summary is complete, I will send you a copy. In the meantime, Dan and I will continue to investigate grant and revenue opportunities for the City of Plymouth. STAFF RELATIONSHIPS I have attached a copy of an Engineering Services Evaluation that we have reviewed with Fred. Moore. We plan to have Fred Moore, Jim Rolstad, Bob Fasching, Ren Johnson and others of Fred's selection complete the evaluation and review it with our Directors of Civil Engineering and Professional Services. It is our hope that this process will make us more aware of Plymouth's needs and problems and enable our staff to respond quickly. FIELD INSPECTIONS Dan and I met with our Construction Services people responsible for Plymouth and discussed your concerns regarding field inspections. We will be spending more time on inspections in Plymouth this year, particularly specialty projects such as wells, and will be communicating closely with the City Staff. On well construction we will be more proactive on safety issues. For example, on our future wells we are requiring contractors to fence pits instead of just requiring the contractor to be responsible for safety. //�1�!!22 2335 West Highway 36 • St. Paul, Minnesota 55113 • 612-636-4600 1 {Nth` R OU, r; F A -� �-' DESIGN/CONSTRUCTION PHASES We believe that Cities should retain their consultant for both the design and construction phases of the City projects. When this is done, the mass of information developed during design is readily available to the construction service people, thus allowing the necessary quick and informed decisions to be made when the inevitable construction questions arise. Under this process there is also a clear definition of responsibility in case of a professional liability concern. From the consultants standpoint, recent court decisions have held design consultants liable for construction problems even though they did not provide inspection services. In the case of projects where the work is done by a developer for eventual acceptance by a City, several Cities have chosen to retain a consultant to provide quality control inspections. We have performed this service for the City of Eagan since 1983 with up to four inspectors being involved on an annual basis. If you would like additional information on this type of service, I will arrange a meeting with Jerry Bourdon, the Eagan project manager. After you have had a chance to review this information, I would like to meet with you to discuss our actions. Maria, once again, thank you for spending time with us.

Carlquist SUBJECT: DUMPING VIOLATIONS I received information from Jack Wenner, owner of Tom Thumb Market, Highways 55 and 101, regarding considerable illegal dumping. The property in question is north of County Road 9 and south of the Soo Line tracks. It is west of Peony Lane and east of the intersection of Highway 55 and County Road 9. There is a road that accesses County Road 9. This dirt road goes up and over a slight hill north towards the Soo Line tracks. According to Mr. Wenner, he has noticed several pickups and cars pulling trailers driving up and over the hill this past weekend. When he investigated he found a large dump with stoves, refrigerators, and other household items abandoned on the site. In checking a half -section map for the general area in question, I was informed by Scott Hovet, City Assessor, that most of this land belongs to Keith and Diane Harstad, 261 Meadowood Lane, Vadnais Heights, MN 55110. There is a smaller parcel of property that belongs to the Minnesota Southern District of the Lutheran Church. But, the lions share of the property west of Peony Lane and north of County Road 9 belongs to the Harstads. It will be necessary to assign a Community Service Officer to followup on this complaint and to ascertain the exact location of the dumping violations and owner of the property. I would suggest pictures be taken, if indeed the volume of dumping is as Mr. Wenner describes. Please keep me posted on this. RJC/sb cc: James G. Willis - City Manager CIM �i ' J NIL., April 4, 1990 CITY OF PLYMOUTH - Patricia Neils Chair District 281 School Board 4148 Winnetka Avenue North New Hope, MN 55427 SUBJECT: PROPOSAL FOR OPEN LUNCH GRADES 11 AND 12 AT ARMSTRONG AND COOPER HIGH SCHOOLS Dear Pat: Wayzata High School has an open lunch policy for 12th graders only. Realistically, other grades are taking advantage of this open lunch policy. (I have an informant who lives under my roof who is one of the guilty ones!) We have not experienced any problems with Wayzata High School's open lunch policy. I suspect the reason is that most of the students head for the town of Wayzata to eat lunch at the various establishments. When the weather gets warmer, I would imagine that the students would congregate at Parker's Lake beach. We may have a unique situation at Wayzata High School because of its close proximity to the nearby town of Wayzata. I specifically reinforce this observation because I don't believe there would be a corollary between our experience to date at Wayzata High School and the proposal at Armstrong High School. I would guess that Armstrong students would spend much of their time in nearby Plymouth restaurants. When the weather gets warmer, perhaps the east beach at Medicine Lake would be a main attraction! For every action in life there appears to be an equal and opposite reaction. Which simply means that sometime, somewhere, someone will call! I close on that philosophical note. As E r, Richard J.

Student leaders at Robbinsdale Armstrong and Robbinsdale Cooper initiated the open lunch discussion, and a task force will be recommending that we pilot (one month) for grades 11 and 12 only at both schools. It's my understanding, Dick, that Wayzata Senior High does have an open lunch policy. Has it caused problems from a police standpoint?

We now have 35 members who have paid a $15 registration fee and approximately another 10 to 15 skaters who have been coming to practices but have not yet signed up. I look forward to continued growth and expect to have approximately 50 to 100 skaters by next winter's skating season. Many of our skaters are anxious to start training for the coming season. I plan to begin some summer training using roller skating, skating exercises, running and bicycling. I also plan to secure some indoor ice time for later this summer and in the fall prior to the outdoor skating season.

You'll be glad to hear that steps were implemented on March 8, 1990, to ensure demolition of the structure on this site. In fact, due to the public safety hazard this structure poses, Mr. Ryan sent the owner a second letter on March 23 requesting that the process be expedited. I have enclosed copies of Mr. Ryan's letters to the property owner, as well as the City Council policy relating to the processing of demolition orders by the Ci ty. After the 30 days notice, a reinspection of the site will occur. If demolition has not been substantially completed, all information will be forwarded to the City Attorney for preparation of a demolition order for City Council consideration and subsequent legal action. I informed the Building Official that in addition to the hazardous structure, you are concerned about the dumping of cans, bottles, etc., on the lot. He stated it his intent that the demolition order will include cleanup of the entire site. The City Council previously received a copy of Mr. Ryan's initial letter, and I am now providing them with a copy of this letter so they are aware of your concerns. However, if you wish to explain the situation further to the Council, please feel free to attend the Forum at 6:30 p.m. on April 16. If you have further questions on the status of this site, please contact me at 550-5014 or Joe Ryan at 550-5031. Sincerely, Laurie Rauen orst City Clerk cc: City Council James G.

Based on the inspection report, the single family dwelling located at this site meets the statutory definition as a hazardous structure. As you probably know,' City Ordinance and State Statute require that such structures be brought up to Code or demolished. City Council policy (attached) provides that I send you this informal letter providing 30 days to apply for a permit to reconstruct the building. If a permit is not approved within 30 days, it will be assumed that you desire to demolish this building and we will expect that such demolition would occur also within the original 30 day period. Such demolition work would also include the sealing and grouting of the private well by a well contractor licensed by the State of Minnesota. In the absence of either action, it will be necessary for me to request preparation of a demolition order which legally requires the repair or demolition of the building. In the absence of action following the order, the City will demolish the building and assess the related costs against the -property. I am confident that we can resolve this matter without the necessity of formal action. Please contact me at 550-5031 should you have any questions.

To this end, the City attempts to reduce such hazards through the issuance of demolition orders when appropriate through the City Attorney's office. To promote cooperation and understanding of this process, as well as provide for an orderly set of procedures, the Council has directed the preparation of this policy. Procedures The following procedures will be used by the City staff and Council in securing and administering demolition orders: 1. Whenever a city official learns of a hazardous structure within the City, the Building Inspection Department will be contacted and request an inspection of the structure. 2. The Building Inspector will inspect the property and fill out a "Demolition Order -Building Inspector's Report" commenting about the overall condition of the structure and take photographs of the site. The inspector shall attempt to informally discuss his inspection findings with the property owner at this time. 3. If the Building Inspector's report demonstrates that the structure fits the legal and building code definition of a hazardous building as stated in M.S. 463.15, Subdivision 3, and poses a potential public hazard, steps 4 through 7 will be initiated. If the building is determined not to be hazardous, the Building Inspector will will take necessary actions to re- medy noted deficiencies and file his report together with other documents on the subject property for future reference. 4. The property owner, owner of record or lien holder will be contacted by letter to advise him of the city's concern that the building be repaired in accordance with applicable codes. A thirty -day period will be given to the property owner to provide time to resolve the matter informally without court action. At the end of the thirty -day period, the building inspector will reinspect to determine whether further action is necessary. 5. If the thirty -day period expires without substantial improvement or demolition taking place, the Building Inspector's report together with pictures and.a copy of the letter submitted to the property owner will be sent to the City Attorney's office for the preparation of a resolution and demolition order for City Council consideration. 6. The item will be scheduled on the City Council's agenda and supplied together with a cover memorandum summarizing the conditions of the demolition order, as well as any special circumstances that exist, a resolution, demolition order, Building Inspector's report, pictures and a copy of the letter originally received by the property owner. CIM APR 0 6 'Qrl -17- 7. Upon adoption of the resolution, the order will be signed by the Mayor and Manager and forwarded to the City Attorney's office with a copy submitted to the Building Inspection Department for the initiation of proceedings according to statute.

I'd say you are only about a year and one half late! It is no surprise to me that no one was home, because no one lives here! Knowing that you are protecting me by making inspections is heartwarming.

This letter is to notify you that a final inspection of the work performed under this permit is required by code. An attempt by our office to perform the required inspection of your property on March 24 , 1990 was unsuccessful, as no one was home.

Please be advised that unless the required inspection is approved by our office within the time frame indicated above, the permit will become null and void and will be deleted from our records. Any work performed will be deemed work without a permit. It is for your protection that inspections are made, and it is in your interest to have the work inspected.

D.C. 20510 March 29, 1990 The Honorable Virgil Schneider Mayor of Plymouth 3400 Plymouth Blvd Plymouth, Minnesota 55447 Dear Mayor Schneider: COMMITTEE ASSIGNMENTS: AGRICULTURE BUDGET FOREIGN RELATIONS SMALL BUSINESS I want to bring to your attention legislation I recently cosponsored which, I believe, will be very beneficial to small governments. S. 1758, the "Small Governments Regulatory Partnership Act of 1989," should relieve small governments of some of the burden placed on them by the federal government. This bill will clarify that the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) applies to small governments as well as to small businesses. Since the RFA was passed, whenever a federal agency issues a regulation, it must certify whether the regulation will affect small entities. Small entities includes both small businesses and small governments. Currently, the enforcement of the RFA is by the Office of Advocacy at the Small Business Administration. Naturally, their emphasis is on small businesses rather than small governments. S. 1758 would establish an Office of Small Government Advocacy within the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). This new Office will be assisted by Small Government Coordinators within certain federal agencies. These coordinators will watch their own agencies' action under the RFA, and provide support and data to the Office for Small Government Advocacy. The legislation will also establish an Interagency Committee of Small Government Coordinators within OMB. This Committee will be responsible for coordinating the pro s, plans and policies of the Small Government Coordinators. Minnesota has many small governor ht , and believe S. 1758 could prove to be very helpful to them I appre iate this opportunity to update you on my activities i the U.S Senate.

FEBRUARY 22, 1790 Na 14 Senate UNI GOVERNMENTS REGULA- TORY PARTNERSHIP ACT OF 1989 e Mr. BOSCHWITZ. Mr. President, I recently cosponsored Senator GLsr1N's bill, S. 1758, the Small Governments Regulatory Partnership Act of 1989. I believe this legislation will be most beneficial to small governments in re- lieving the burden placed on it by the Federal Government. Most Senators have many small governments—vil- lagr-s, towns. townships—in his or her State;; Minnesota, the State I am proud to represent, has mars such sm: l! governments. This bill. Mr. President, will clarify that the Regulatory 1 lexibility Act RFAl applies to small governments Ps ell as to small businesses. Oftentimes Cie Federal Government asks too mli_•h of the local gmernment. Since the RFA was pstssed, whenever a Fed- eral agency issues a regulation, it must certify whets'wr the regulation will affect small entities. Small entities in- cludes both small businesses and small erwv rnments. Currently, the enforce- r I(ItIt of the RFA is by the Office of d:omcy at the Snmll Business Ad- nditi.,tratiun. ldaturally, their vnipha- sis is on bm al businesses nather than Kovernw.efts. S. 1758 could establish a-.! Office of Small Government Advocacy within the Office of Management. and Budget [O?SSBI, headed by a Director for Shall Government Advocacy. The Di- rector shall be appointed by the Presi- dent with Senate confirmation. That individual needs to be familiar with small government needs, and with the difficulties these communities encoun- ter with the Federal regulatory proc- ess. It is believed this office could be staffed, and perhaps even funded, by existing OMB personnel and re- sources. The Office of Small Government Advocacy will be assisted by a small government coordinator within certain Federal agencies. These coordinators will watch their own agencies' actions under the RFA, and provide support and data to the Office for Small Gov- ernment Advocacy. The legislation, Mr. President, will also establish an Interagency Conunit- tee of Small Government Coordinators within OMB. This committee will be responsible for coordinating the pro- grams, plans, and policies of the small government coordinators. S. 11'58 will make it more difficult for agencies to exercise some of the RFA's waiver provisions. In fact, an agency would be required to provide evidence and citation of data sources when it claims that a proposed regula- tion will have no ill effects on small entities. Finally, the legislation would require agencies to use standard measures when analyzing the effect of regula- tions on small governments. I believe the Small Governments Regulatory Partnership Act of 1989 could relieve some of the burden Fed- eral regulations place on small govern- ments. I am proud to be a cosponsor of Senator GLENN'S legislation, and I en- courage my colleagues to support this bill.* April 4,1990 Deari`t, , Thank you for again funding the child care subsidy program.
