MEETING CALENDARS -- Meeting calendars for April and May are attached. (M- FOR YOUR INFORMATION.... 1. MEETING WITH CARLSON REPRESENTATIVES - This past Tuesday, Mayor Bergman and I met with urt Carlson, Skip Gauge, and Dean Riesen, in order that these individuals could meet with the new mayor, as well as discuss generally matters of mutual interest. We had a good meeting and concluded with the thought that it might be beneficial to have a followup meeting at which all members of the City Council might meet with representatives of Carlson to become better acquainted. If there is interest on the part of the Council to establish such a meeting, likely over lunch. If you have an interest, please call me by next Thursday, April 26 so I can try and make arrangements. 2. LAKE CAMELOT ESTATES SALE OF PROPERTY TO ROTTLUND HOMES - City Attorney Jim Thomson has just informed me that the bankruptcy judge has approved the sale of the townhouse property to Rottlund Homes. The Council recently approved the final plat for this development. It is anticipated the closing on this will occur very promptly. Before the closing, however, all conditions previously established by the City Council will be required to be met. 3. MIDWEST SPORTS CHANNEL (MSC) - Thursday morning the Board of Directors of the Northwest- u urbs Cable Communications Commission met. One of the items on our agenda was a discussion on the status of the availability of the Midwest Sports Channel service on the cable system. An MSC representative was present to offer his view on the status of negotiations with King Cablevision. A King repre- sentative was also present. The attached packet of materials was provided by the MSC representative and is attached for your infor- mation. The bottom line appears to be a continuing dispute between the cable company and the MSC people regarding the terms under which MSC would be made available to cable subscribers. While the service issue appears to be the question of whether or not the MSC service should be provided under the basic cable rates paid by all subscribers, or as a premium service, I think the issue goes a bit further. Underlying these issues is the longer range viability of V 1 1 1 UUUIR.IL LRFUMV11 LURAL PIC.MMERWUUM -- April 20, 1990 Page 3 cable, given the enormous cost pressures placed upon the system by the heavy capitalization. King bought the service for approximately $133,000,000, or about $2,750 per subscriber. This places an enormous financial burden on them and they are understandably reluctant to increase the costs that they have to bear with respect to the basic service without being able to pass those costs along. On the other hand, there is also concern about the potential lack of competition for some premium services as various cable companies join together to integrate into their operations various pay -type services, e.g., sports. I believe in the longer range the cable industry, without additional federal regulation, will become more vertically integrated and the consumers will see a greater emphasis on pay for view with the diminution of the services offered under the basic subscription rate. 4. NORTH METRO MAYOR'S ASSOCIATION AND NORTH METRO DEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATION MEMBERSHIP - Both of these organizations have been established to o y or greater public investment in the north suburban area. The North Metro Mayor's Association, as I recall, was established by Mayor Krautkramer of Brooklyn Park, largely as a result of his frustration with metropolitan facilities being located in the southern suburbs. In any event, the two organizations have written me inquiring as to whether or not Plymouth might be interested in joining one or both. The annual cost for the North Metro Mayor's Association, for Plymouth, would $18,118, while the North Metro Development Association annual fee would be $49,943. Irrespective of the substantial annual membership fees, I see no particular value to the community by being affiliated with one or both of these organizations. In the first instance, I do not support the continued proliferation of special interest lobbying groups - a feeling I believe is increasingly being shared by the Legislature. Secondly, while Plymouth may be in limited competition with some of these communities for economic development, I do not believe we, as a local government, need to actively solicit or participate in economic development activities. The private sector has been able to deal with this issue rather successfully. Unless otherwise requested by one or more Councilmembers, I will write the organizations declining their invitation. If you do not concur with this conclusion, please contact me by Thursday, April 26. 5. TRAFFIC STUDIES WITH RESPECT TO DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE COMMUNITY - Attached is a memorandum to Fred Moore from Frank Boyl_e_s_­wFTTch requests clarification on the City's policy of supplying traffic studies to developers who pay the cost of the study. Apparently Mayor Bergman and Councilmember Vasiliou have spoken to a developer who did not receive a copy of a study which was completed. Fred Moore advises me that it is the City's policy to share a copy of the traffic study with the developer as soon as it is available. Once Councilmember Vasiliou or Mayor Bergman provide me with the name of the developer we will supply the traffic study.

SOLID WASTE - ORGANIZED COLLECTION - Mayor Bergman came across the attached article in the ort west ews dealing with discussion of a proposal by the Brooklyn Park City Council for organized solid waste collection. It appears that residents in Brooklyn Park raised many of the same objections which were encountered by the Plymouth Council a couple of years ago. The topic is still under consideration and discussion by the Brooklyn Park City Council. 18. 1991 HUNAN SERVICE AGENCY BUDGET REQUEST - Over the past few years the City Council has elected to prove a contributions to various human service agencies serving the City. Attached is a table showing those human service agencies which received City support last year. As part of the budget preparation process, we have historically solicited funding requests from agencies who received City support during the previous budget year. If the Council desires, we will prepare letters for distribution to those agencies who are receiving City support in 1990, requesting both their funding needs, as well as a report which shows the services which Plymouth residents received through this human service agency. To stay within the budget preparation timelines, the letter would be sent the week of April 24. Funding requests would be due May 28. (I-18) 19. COUNCIL FOLLOW-UPS: a.

The question is, when a private party such as a developer is required to undertake a traffic study as part of the development approval process, does the developer who pays for the study receive a copy of it. Apparently, at least one party was required to undertake and pay for a traffic study, but did not receive a copy of the completed study from the Ci ty. . It seems to me that if indeed the party pays for the traffic study, then that party should receive a copy of the completed traffic study results as soon as they are available. Would you respond to these questions in order that I can relate your comments back to Mayor Bergman and Councilmember Vasiliou. If we are not providing a copy of the study the developer, I need to know the rationale for this action. Thanks for your help. cc: S/F 4/16/90 GO NN 0 `a Sent to: POST, Sailor, Weekly News tk PRESS RELEASE April 17, 1990 The Plymouth City Council is soliciting applications from residents interested in serving on a Wetlands Task Force. The Task Force will be comprised of City Council and Planning/Park Commission representatives, representatives of development interests, residents, and City staff. The Task Force will investigate and recommend to the City Council the appropriateness of developing wetland requirements in the community which would preserve natural amenities, yet would not undermine community development.

Deadline for submitting applications is May 10, 1990. u1m,, APR 2, 0 `99 CITY OF PLYMOUTH PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES MARCH 28, 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 John Wire, Hal Pierce, Dennis Zylla, Larry Marofsky, and Michael Stulberg. MEMBERS ABSENT: Commissioner Joy Tierney. STAFF PRESENT: Coordinator Charles Dillerud, City Engineer Dan Faulkner, Park and Recreation Director Eric Blank, and Sr. Clerk/Typist Denise Lanthier. u ► IMP MOTION by Commissioner Wire, seconded by Commissioner MOTION TO APPROVE Marofsky, to approve the Minutes for the March 14, 1990, Planning Commission Meeting, subject to the following change: On Page 40, after paragraph 6, another paragraph should be inserted stating that the reason Commissioner Wire voted against the Main Motion for Holiday Stationstores, Inc. was because he felt the situations or conditions had not changed since the original permit was approved. Vote. All Ayes. MOTION carried. VOTE - MOTION CARRIED Chairman Plufka introduced the request by Baton Corporation BATON CORPORATION for an RPUD Preliminary Plan/Plat and Conditional Use Permit (89103) amendment for the Mission RPUD located southeast of Larch Lane and Old Rockford Road. Coordinator Dillerud gave an overview of the March 16, 1990, staff report. Chairman Plufka introduced Richard Zejdlik, the petitioner. Mr. Zejdlik stated that the history of the Mission RPUD goes back 14 years, and he stated he felt it is a respectable RPUD. Mr. Zejdlik stated that there was no way of anticipating the economic changes that have forced their project to be amended in 1978, 1985 and what is now being proposed. He stated that he feels their request Clpri � 2-0,Q0 Planning Commission Minutes March 28, 1990 Page 43 is a reasonable use of land, and noted that this is the very last parcel to be developed in the 14 -year project. Chairman-Plufka introduced Randy Zejdlik, the petitioner. Mr. Zejdlik stated that their efforts are primarily focused on dealing with the terrain in a positive manner. He stated he feels the impacts on the north and south site were overemphasized by Coordinator Dillerud in his overview of the staff report. He added that the original RPUD would have a greater impact on the north site, with respect to trees and other vegetation, than what is now being proposed. Mr. Zejdlik stated that they do not know if they are infringing on a DNR -protected wetland, and they are planning to meet with the Corps of Engineers to resolve this issue. Chairman Plufka stated that he does not agree with the reasoning behind the petitioner's statement that there is less impact on the north site since the new plan covers more ground area. Mr. Zejdlik stated that he was referring to the approved plan only. Chairman Plufka opened the public hearing. Chairman Plufka introduced Bob Donley of 11740 38th Avenue North. Chairman Plufka noted for the record the Planning Commission's receipt of a memorandum and agenda from Bob Donley. Mr. Donley stated that he has been a resident of Plymouth in the Mission RPUD for 13 years. He stated he was in opposition of the land use design for the north and south sites of the remaining Mission RPUD because the proposed plan is insensitive to the natural characteristics; it is overly influenced by economics; and it increases land coverage resulting in greater tree loss. Mr. Donley stated he prefers the original 1979 RPUD plan because it fits the topography by the location of the Jonquil Lane cul-de-sac, and because the private driveway minimizes the impact on trees, wildlife, and the natural "draw." He added that the units on the south site will be too close to the single family homes to the east, and stated that there should be a continuance of single family homes since this is in the same RPUD. Mr. Donley further noted severe parking problems on 41st Avenue North due to the Parkside Apartments, and stated that another apartment complex will further impact this parking problem. CL►I AP R 2 C7 °;,n Planning Commission Minutes March 28, 1990 Page 44 Chairman Plufka introduced Charles Lymangood of 11780 40th Place North. Chairman Plufka noted for the record the Planning Commission's receipt of a letter from Mr. Rick Sathre to the Mission Hills/Mission Ridge Homeowners' Association. Mr. Lymangood introduced himself as the spokesperson for the residents of the Mission Hills/Mission Ridge Homeowners' Association. He stated the residents were in opposition of the proposed plan, and stated they would prefer development of the original 1979 plan or an alternative plan. Mr. Lymangood added there are other profitable ways of developing the land than the one being proposed, and he referred to the "third option." Chairman Plufka introduced John Barnes of 10230 38th Court North. Mr. Barnes chose to pass on comment. Chairman -Plufka introduced John Griffin of 3915 Evergreen. Lane. Mr. Griffin chose to pass on comment. Chairman Plufka introduced Charles Groebner of 4221 Goldenrod Lane North. Mr. Groebner stated he was concerned about the entrances to the north site of the proposed plan from Old Rockford Road. He stated he feels there should be more entrances from 41st Avenue North. Mr. Groebner also expressed his concern with the eventual traffic and parking problems which could result if the proposed plan is approved. Chairman Plufka noted to Mr. Groebner that this proposal is a Preliminary Plat, and therefore the entrances to the site are not definite. Chairman Plufka introduced Steve Johnson of 4245 Cottonwood Lane North. Mr. Johnson stated he would also like to see more access points onto 41st Avenue North from the proposed north site, and other efforts to direct project traffic away from Old Rockford Road and on to Larch Lane.

Mr. Zejdlik replied that their Preliminary Plan was incomplete at that time, but when they amended their plans for the last time, they presented it to the neighbors. Chairman Plufka asked staff if the City was aware of the parking problems related to the Parkside Apartments. Coordinator Dillerud responded affirmatively and added that the project has enough spaces per the Ordinance standard, but that the renting of garages may have adversely impacted the formula. He added that City staff has asked Mr. Zejdlik to provide more parking spaces at Parkside, and Baton Corporation has submitted two scenarios. Coordinator Dillerud stated Baton Corporation has been cooperative in working with staff to resolve the problem. Chairman Plufka stated that the Commission should consider amending the parking codes for apartments to overcome the garage rental problem. Chairman Plufka asked staff what the traffic control will be on Rockford Road. City Engineer Faulkner replied that he does not visualize the need for stop lights since this is not a collector street. Chairman Plufka closed the public hearing. Commissioner Zylla asked staff if there was an expiration date on original PUD Conditional Use Permits. He stated he feels it has taken too long to complete this development. Coordinator Dillerud responded that there is no time frame for developing PUDs. Commissioner Zylla asked staff to what extent the units are guaranteed as a result of an amendment. Coordinator Dillerud responded that the City is committed to unit count and densities as approved, but that it does not owe the applicant anything when an amended plan is proposed. He stated that PUDs are a balance and that attributes should relate to unit count within the ranges of Land Use Guide Plan classification. ew, °90 Planning Commission Minutes March 28, 1990 Page 46 MOTION by Commissioner Stulberg, seconded by Chairman MOTION TO DENY Plufka, to recommend denial of the request by Baton Corporation for an RPUD Preliminary Plan/Plat and Conditional Use Permit amendment for Mission RPUD on the basis of noncompliance with the PUD attributes and expectations, specifically attributes 3, 4, and 5 of the Plymouth Zoning Ordinance. Commissioner Stulberg gave a further explanation of his motion for denial: He agreed with staff comment #4 that the open space was taken away, which was one of the attributes to granting the PUD; he agreed with staff on comment #5 that the 60 units (if built) need to be disbursed; and he does not agree with the extension of Jonquil Lane as stated in staff comment #3. Commissioner Wire stated that he feels the Corps of Engineers should look at where the wetlands are. He further added that he does not agree with the extension of Jonquil Lane south from the cul-de-sac location of the current plan. Commissioner Zylla stated that there is not enough ground work done with the adjoining neighborhood given the scope and density of this proposal. Chairman Plufka stated he feels the plan does not meet the PUD attributes. He further added that the Planning Commission is not influenced by whether or not the residents and the developer agree on a certain plan. He stated that their primary concern should be for the City as a whole. Commissioner Pierce stated that he feels the proposed plan is insensitive to the topography of the site. Roll Call Vote. 5 Ayes. Commissioner Marofsky abstained. VOTE - MOTION CARRIED MOTION carried. Richard Zejdlik asked for a continuance to develop revised plans. No further actions were taken by the Planning Commission. Chairman Plufka called for a 5 minute recess at 9:40 p.m. Chairman Plufka reconvened the meeting at 9:45 p.m. Chairman Plufka introduced the amendment to the Park and PARK AND TRAIL SYSTEM Trail System Element of the Plymouth Comprehensive Plan. ELEMENT AMENDMENT Park and Recreation Director Blank gave an overview of the amendment to the Parks and Trail Element. Commissioner Marofsky asked staff why Barton-Aschman used a population of 110,000 in their analysis. ,n Cgill APR i 41 `5n Planning Commission Minutes .. March 28, 1990 Page 47 Director Blank responded that a typical analysis for a walking neighborhood park is based on how many people would live in that neighborhood and the acreage is then calculated based on the population projected for each of the 50 walking neighborhood parks within the community. Also, the area beyond the Metropolitan Urban Service Area is included in the population total. Commissioner Marofsky asked staff why the proposed amendment does not show Greenwood Elementary School as a community playfield as it did in the 1982 plan. Director Blank responded that the designation has not changed. He added that what the school district owns is adequate for some use as a community playfield. Commissioner Zylla asked staff to what extent there is a shift in the plan philosophy favoring more active development; and to what extent are the capital dollars available to help the City keep from sliding more in providing the more active space we should have statistically. Director Blank responded that the City owns sites that are undeveloped, and they will lay dormant until the City needs to develop them. He stated that in order to develop one of the sites, it costs between $800,000 to one million dollars, and therefore there is some reluctance to develop these sports facilities until it is absolutely necessary. He further stated that after developing them, it is expensive to maintain them. Director Blank stated the City is aggressive in securing the land to ensure they have the land available when needed. He added that neighborhood parks are more passive, which is preferred by most residents, and that active parks are the park sites that residents will have to drive to. Commissioner Zylla asked staff if the capital dollars to develop parks are not sufficient, should the City look into other sources of revenue. Director Blank responded that for the past 10 years their financial situation has been adequate, but in the years of 1991 to 1992, they will be short revenues. Chairman Plufka opened the public hearing. Chairman Plufka introduced Frank Freels, Chairman of the Park and Recreation Advisory Commission. Mr. Freels stated that the Park and Recreation Advisory Commission is working toward the public interest to attain the parks at the right time to develop as needed. CIN!

Chairman Plufka introduced Bill Pritchard of Orrin Thompson Homes. Mr. Pritchard stated that his firm owns land west of the Plymouth Creek Elementary School, and he is in opposition of Site No. 2 of the Park Plan amendments. He stated he feels the land to the south would be more suitable for a park. Chairman Plufka closed the public hearing.

Commissioner Wire asked staff what the parking requirement is for medical office use. Coordinator Dillerud responded that it is 1 space for each 200 square feet of building area. Chairman Plufka introduced Paul Dunn, representing the petitioner. Mr. Dunn stated that the success of the physicians renting at this site is the cause for the overflow in parking. He assured the Commission that they will not be faced with the problem again with the proposed new building and parking lot because they will be selective with the tenants that will rent from that building. Mr. Dunn stated he objects to the condition of the resolution stating that they must comply with the City Engineer's Memorandum: finishing the parking lot according to City standards. Mr. Dunn stated that the cost of finishing the parking lot according to City's standards will be very costly, and it will be hard to get financing because they do not have a tenant for the proposed new building. Mr. Dunn then asked to have this condition a part of the Site Improvement Performance Agreement, which will insure that the parking lot will be complete in stages according to the City standards. Mr. Dunn then submitted to the Commission a sketch of a proposed temporary parking lot plan. Chairman Plufka noted for the record receipt of a sketch from Mr. Dunn of a proposed temporary parking lot plan. Chairman Plufka introduced Dr. Philip Worrell of Camden Physicians. Dr. Worrell stated he was a tenant of the 918 Plymouth Partners building. He stated that it was time to provide adequate parking for their patients and staff. He stated he feels they are good citizens and neighbors of Plymouth. City Engineer Faulkner stated that the new sketch submitted of the proposed temporary parking lot plan appeared reasonable, subject to detailed grading and improvement plans. Commissioner Marofsky asked staff if the drive would be adequate.

John Larkin, 35 Nathan Lane (1010 Harbor Lane), objected to changes proposed At ar or ane and 4th Avenue North which would create a stop for Harbor Lane at 4th Avenue. (Comments attached) Robert Gensball, 2540 Medicine Ridge Road, stated he owns property at 700 Harbor ane. a stated the development proposed in this area will destroy the existing trees which serve as a buffer to the homes, and the proposed construction is cost prohibitive. Manager Willis explained that a north -south access is needed in this area and has been proposed for several years in the City's Thoroughfare Guide Plan. The extension of Fernbrook Lane is proposed in order to have the least impact on existing homes. He stated the City chose not to use Harbor Lane for the routing out of respect for the many homes in existence. Manager Willis explained the importance this road will have on the City's transportation system. The road will be needed for future development in the area. 2. Tim Puhek, 2748 Aquila Ave. North, and Karen Johansen, 14540 41st Ave. North, appeared on behalf of the Armstrong High School S-t—ud—ent Council to explain the Open Lunch proposal. 3. Kris Quinn, 4195 Orchid Lane North, stated the homeowners of Quail Ridge Development are concerned about developer improvements to their common areas. She requested that staff monitor and ensure the progress and completion of the required improvements. (Comments attached) 4. Tim Shaver, 4075 Juneau Lane, stated he objects to the sign which the ingsview eights Homeowners Association recently erected in front of his property. He felt the sign will devalue his property and objected to the installer going onto his property to erect the sign. Manager Willis stated the City Council received and approved the request for a sign from the homeowners' association. He suggested Mr. Shaver contact the association with his concerns. The Forum was adjourned at 7:00 p.m. CIVI MR 20'90 PLYMOUTH FORUM 6:30 P.M. APRIL 16 1990 PROPOSED TRW FIC CHANGE, HARBOR LANE at FOURTH AVE. Harbor Lane has existed in its present configureation and traffic pattern for at least 59 years and is the only access and exit for residents of that street; Seventh Ave.; Tenth Ave. and Ithaca with about 57 homes, 150 people and at least 75 automobiles. These drivers now experience difficulty and delay trying to exit onto Gleason Lake. -.,Dr. and in getting onto Carlson Pkwy. because the traffic on Gleason piles up waiting for access to Carlson pkwy so it quite common for six to eight cars to be held up at one time during the busier times of the day. We have been informed that the City plans to route all of the traffic from the newly formed Fourth Ive.-Fernbrook area out thru this same bottleneck and to add insult to injury, place a Stop sign on Harbor Lane traffic to give precedence to the Fourth Ave.-Fernbrook traffic. It appears that present plans call for a diversion in the flow of traffic from Harbor Lane onto Fourth Ave. Returning Northbound traffic would thus have to make left-hand turns to get back onto what has been and should be, a straight street. We submit that this proposal is clearly unsound,irrational and unnecessary and would severely disrupt and disadvantage all of the Harbor'Lane traffic,including school busses, mail route, fuel and other deliveries as well as interfering with snow plowing, maintenance and fire and other emergency vehicles. It is our position that Harbor Lane should remain as it is now; F@firth Ave. traffic must stop before entering Harbor Lane and Fernbrook should be extended northward across Parkers trail to allow that traffic to exit away from this already over -congested area. All of the petitioners ask your serious consideration and relief from what will otherwise 'bean onerous{;:prbblem':'fort,ye*rs'tp.:oome. April 16, 1990 To: Plymouth Mayor and Council Members: We the homeowners of Quail Ridge Development are very pleased to see work beginning on the common grounds (park area). Due to past experience with the builder, we are however, somewhat skeptical as to whether the area is being done up to city standards. The following is a list of items we would like your inspector to pay close attention to as to whether they have been done properly and/or will be replaced if need be: 1. Condition of the trees or shrubs. Builder has opted not to water them and said we can if we so desire. Is this our responsibility? 2. Is or will the park area be graded for proper drainage? 3. Will the large dirt pile on the southeast side of park area be removed? 4. Is there signs of it being seeded properly (first inspection)? Is the grass growing in a reasonable fashion (final inspection)? 5. Tar path - is in still intact if the dirt pile (southest side) is removed? We would appreciate attention to these items in both the first and final inspections. If you need any further details please contact Myra at the City Offices she has been very helpful. Thank you for your time and attention in this matter. IL MEMO CITY OF PLYMOUTH 3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD, PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447 DATE: April 13, 1990 TO: Members of Task Force on Outside Storage, Display, and Sales FROM: Blair Tremere, Community Development Director SUBJECT: SUMMARY NOTES FOR THE APRIL 4, 1990 MEETING Members Present: Larry Marofsky, Hal Pierce, Dave Johnson, Craig Solarz, Jack Wenner and Larry Mellum Staff Present: Laurie Rauenhorst, Chuck Dillerud, Blair Tremere The meeting started at 7:30 a.m. The summary notes for the March 21, and March 27, 1990 meetings were reviewed and approved. Discussion of outside storage continued with an update of the discussion at the March 27, 1990 meeting. Items reviewed included the confirmation that all storage would be deemed permanent subject to particular conditions and requirements such as location, screening and area covered. Storage can be distinguished from display and it would be preferable to view display as a temporary situation probably linked to the hours of operation. There was discussion regarding the status of soft drink machines, for example, as sample of "permanent displays" given the advertisement of the product. Discussion also focused on the so-called "salt sheds" and it was the consensus that, with no identification, these could be viewed as permanent storage rather than product displays. There was further discussion about temporary displays and the relationship to temporary sales activities; it was the consensus that permanent storage and permanent sales activities outdoors would be conditional uses in all cases. CIM APP 20 '90 =-, C-... There was also consensus that soft drink machines essentially constitute a permanent outside sales and therefore could be allowed by conditional use permit. There was also discussion about the status of newspaper vending devices and the apparent relevant constitutional issues of freedom of speech and press. Chuck Dillerud indicated that he would check with the City Attorney because this matter has been reviewed before and there is available information and literature about that. The frequency of outside sales events was discussed and there was consensus that there should be some review process and criteria similar to the situation with transient merchants. More discussion ensued regarding transient merchants and the characteristics of those activities; concern was voiced about the status of vacant sites if transient merchants were equated with outside sales activities. The frequency of temporary sales was discussed further and suggestions were made that there be a limitation as to the number of times per year, such as four, with a maximum number of days. Larry Marofsky suggested that there just be a number of days established as a maximum. A range from 60 days to 100 days was discussed and it was suggested that this be reflected in any draft standard with the intent that the Task Force will recommend a specific period. Dave Johnson and Craig Solarz indicated that the number available base could be allocated by the property owner and tenants, with the owner's permission, could use some of the days as could transient merchants. It was clarified that new standards would apply to both transient merchants and the owner or tenants and the common denominator would the assigned number of maximum days per property. Larry Marofsky stated that it seems the Task Force still needs to deal with the concept of display and how it relates to storage and to determine whether outside display constitutes sales activity. Jack Wenner stated that he was not clear on the distinction of permanent display versus temporary display especially if the actual sales transactions occurred inside the building. Blair Tremere suggested that staff could develop some draft language that would be designed to reflect the Task Force direction to date and that there is a possible effective pattern already established in the Zoning Ordinance with regard, to the outside retail sales and promotion that can be administratively approved. There was further discussion and consensus that the draft language should allow for temporary display of merchandise where the display literally is removed and taken inside at the end of the business day. It was noted however that there could be some problem with respect to operations that went 24 hours a day; it was noted again however that those businesses could get a conditional use permit for permanent outside display activities. CEVtii APR 20'90 2 Larry Marofsky stated that he hoped the Task Force could complete its work in another two or three meetings and recognized that time might be required for staff to draft ordinance language that would be as comprehensive as necessary to reflect the Task Force findings.

The treasurer's report is filed for audit. The budget report had been included for informational purposes. Presentation of Invoices for Payment: None Communications Chairman: 1. A newsletter entitled "Water Talk" had been received from the DNR. 2. Mr. Enck had received a copy of a February 22 letter from the Corps of Engineers to Mr. Kremer confirming that the City of Minneapolis, as the local sponsor for the Bassett Creek flood control project, had deposited $1,700,000 as the 1990 non -Federal cash contribution for the construction of the project, bringing the total non -Federal cash contribution to date of $2,791,000. Mr. Kremer said the purpose of this letter was to demonstrate to the DNR that local funds have been provided to the Corps for expenditures as part of the grant for flood control. The letter Is evidence that we have expended sufficient money. It will take 60 days for us to get the check. Cip a___Ckqz� 2 3. Mr. Enck referred briefly to the DNR letter of March 8 to Honeywell regarding an appropriation permit for three wells. Counsel: 1 . Mr. Pearson referred to the letter of February 27 from Mayor Fraser to Colonel Baldwin of the Corps of Engineers written on behalf of the City of Minneapolis and the Bassett Creek Water Management Commission to invoke the dispute provision in Article VII of the LCA between the City of Minneapolis and the Corps of Engineers. As anticipated, the letter served to trigger the procedure. Minneapolis has appointed Mr. Enck so sit on a panel with the Colonel. Mr. Pearson said we will be hearing from the Corps soon. 2. Materials regarding the Water Appropriations Act had been Included with the packet. Mr. Pearson also had Included a copy of the resolution that was adopted by Shingle Creek and a copy of the forms Shingle Creek communities are using to meet the law. The Shingle Creek WMO passed the permit -issuing function on to the cities. The member cities will issue the permits as the WMO's agent and keep the WMO advised of the permits issued. The requirement is that In order to remove surface water from creeks and water courses, one must have a permit. 3. Mr. Pearson and Mr. Kremer had met yesterday with the PCA concerning the Medicine Lake Water Quality Improvement Project. The Commission requested that they continue to pursue a solution which will allow the Commission to accept the grant to Improve water quality without accepting requirements which are economically infeasible. 4. Mr. Pearson said that the Metropolitan Council is proposing legislation to get their foot in the door in supervising WMOs. The Metropolitan Council feels the watersheds are not doing their job and that the WMOs need more supervision. The Metropolitan Council has used some examples in order to make their point. Mr. Kremer made reference to Bryant Lake where the water quality is deteriorating because of upstream development. The Metropolitan Council wants control in the review and preparation of plans. The Metropolitan Council now has four areas under the law where they have planning responsibility. They want to add a fifth and plan water resources. Mr. Pearson believes that the DNR and the PCA think that the responsibility should remain with the BWSR. Commissioners: None Others: None Engineer: 1. Mr. Kremer reported briefly on the rains on Sunday and Monday. There was very significant runoff. There was some flooding downstream of Highway 100 and at the conduit entrance. The channel was blocked with ice. The rain was in excess of two inches. A park flooded in Crystal but within 8 hours the water had gone down. The system seems to be working. There were places where the outlets were blocked. Mr. Moore said that the moisture received was close to a 100 year event. 3 2. Mr. Kremer reported that he had talked to the BWSR about the status of the Metropolitan Tax Force bill. The bill has been passed out of both committees and now is at the Tax Committee of both houses. The bill would remove levy limitations. This would require the Metropolitan Council to update the water quality management plan of several years ago. it Is expected that the bill will pass. 3. Mr. Kremer distributed copies of the 1991 LCMR Funding Proposal re monies to help fund the flood control project in the Fruen Mill and Conagra area. This area of Bassett Creek is part of an overall trail system for recreational purposes. 4. Mr. Kremer had received an announcement of a series of workshops for local government officials and staff on "Finding the Resources to Implement Your Water Plan and Providing Local Input Into the State Water Plan" to be held at various locations from March 20 through April 4. This is sponsored by the Board of Water and .Soil Resources. 5. Mr. Kremer will be sending out a memorandum regarding the workshop that was held at the Barr office. Mr. Pearson will prepare a resolution for next month approving the management plan and informing the members cities of the need to proceed with their local plans. 6. Mr. Kremer had talked to Mr. Raasch of the Corps of Engineers about the double box culvert bid. It was delayed because there were some clarifications needed of the plan and the contractors have to have 10 days after the last addendum was sent out. The date was extended to March 20. . 7. Medicine Lake. Mr. Kremer made reference to the visit he and Mr. Pearson had with the PCA officials regarding this subwatershed. The PCA will take a look at the plans and try to decide what portion of the subwatershed the Medicine Lake policy would apply to. The area around Medicine Lake is quite developed. The Government grant we are seeking is to come out of the Federal Clean Lakes program. Our grant would be 5% of the national allocation for this program. We are being asked to do some things that have not been done anywhere else in the United States. The EPA person in charge in Chicago had asked that we put all the requirements and restrictions in ordinance form. We explained that we do not have power to adopt ordinances. It was questioned whether communities could afford it. if we are going to apply the policy in the Medicine Lake subwatershed, why shouldn't it be done throughout Bassett Creek. Mr. Hal Runke had done some research and said it would cost $15,000 to construct facilities for every 10 acres being developed. Mr. Moore asked it we would have to go back and -retrofit areas. Mr. Kremer said It would only apply to new development and redevelopment. He Indicated that it won't be too hard to do in new development although it will add 15% to raw land cost. However, redevelopment will be tougher. Mr. Monk asked if we have given the PCA and EPA a version that we think we can live with. The answer is no; we are trying to work with EPA and PCA to develop a workable program. There are also other special conditions which affect the grant. Mr. Pearson said we had asked them to send examples from anywhere in the United States. The PCA gave us a copy of an Austin, Texas, ordinance. All we can do is the best we can in a reasonable and practical manner to improve water quality with the understanding that we can't do it all at once. It was asked if we set standards we can't meet, does it make us liable. Should we put In a variance procedures to try to consider areas where we cannot comply. The PCA will require CIM AP 4 0 190 4 substantial changes in the future and our plans will be amended and modified in the second generation. Mr. Monk feels we would have to modify any agreement with the PCA to be feasible and be something the cities can reasonably accomplish. He questioned whether# the money we would be getting would justify all we would have to do. Mr. Kremer said it may be desirable to respond to the PCA with a re -draft. The grant expires May 31 and we need an extension - they won't grant an extension unless we have accomplished our changes. Mr. Pearson said that Chicago should help us so we can have a model. The Intent of the plan Is not to let the water quality in Medicine Lake get any worse. Mr. Monk said that we should go on record that we are willing to do what we can but we do have concerns. We should be moving gradually, taking baby steps Instead of giant steps. Mr. Enck said we should adopt Mr. Monk's recommendations without "slamming the door." The Commission can pass policies and then pass It on to the communities. Mr. Silberman said we need a policy regarding variances, etc. The EPA representative is a Mr. Roberts who is handling the grant request. It was moved by Mr. Monk and seconded by Mr. Silberman that a letter be sent to the PCA inviting them to work with the Commission to develop a reasonable plan and also stating that we need an extension of time. Carried unanimously. New Business Mr. Kremer distributed a Draft of Surface Water Appropriation standards. He would like input from the different Public Works Departments. We need to make a determination re Medicine Lake. It was decided to leave this until the next meeting. Corps of Engineers There was discussion regarding what the status of Corps work. Mr. Gustafson briefly reported on progress at Highway 100 By the end of this month, they will know whether there will be 4 or 6 lanes Mr. Monk said we should beat everyone to the punch and come up with a concept plan regarding draining of that area and get the State to react to it. Mr. Enck appointed Mr. Monk, Mr. Gustafson to look into the matter. Mr. Kremer will work on it also. Adjournment Since there was no further business, it was moved by Mr. Smith and seconded by Mr. Monk that the meeting adjourn. Chairman Enck adjourned the meeting at 1:35 P.M. W.

The Advisory Commission has been working quite hard to complete their surveys, but the interviewing time needed to be extended to mid- April. To date, almost 150 interviews have been completed. The Council has been actively exploring several avenues yet untapped for volunteer interviewers to complete the remaining 750 interviews. A preliminary statistical analysis will be performed mid-May. A complete statistical analysis should be forthcoming in late May or early June. Preliminary feedback from volunteers has indicated women are more likely to complete the entire survey than men. Age has not appeared as a drawback or advantage in the completion of an interview. The Council wishes to extend this excellent volunteer opportunity to any and all groups wishing to participate. Any volunteers are requested to contact the Council for further information. BOARD ACTION REQUIRED: None, informational item.

Between 450 and 500 medicine Lake Bus Co. passengers in Golden Valley, New Crystal, Plymouth and Maple Grove were -pending on the MTC making the service hift successfully.

Instead of retiring old buses as the new ones came in, as MTC usually does, 18 old buses were kept in service to cover the addition Of X Medicine Lake's suburban routes. Without the new buses, mechanics would have had to revive buses from the bus Arden Hills. And getting 18 nuv buses onto the street again in less than &'*eek would have been a feat, Isaacs Said.

Willi 't Man er Charles E. D 11 unity HENNEPI UNTY APPLICATION FOR Development Coordinator WASTE TRANSFER STATION (89057) On July 23, 1989 Hennepin County made application for a Conditional Use Permit to construct a solid waste transfer station at the northeast corner of County Road 6 and I-494, pursuant to Section 9, Subdivision D. of the Zoning Ordinance (Hazardous Waste Facilities Conditional Uses). 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. Page Two Hennepin County Application for Waste Transfer Station On March 6, 1990, we sent a letter of inquiry to Hennepin Count requesting an expression of intent regarding the application. (Copy attached On March 15, 1990, we received a letter from Hennepin County transmitting construction plans with minor modifications which are responsive to omissions made on those plans in the June, 1989 submission. The letter also makes reference to complete response to our earlier DRC letters to be expected by mid-April.

April 20, 1990 SUBJECT: 1991 FUNDING REQUEST FROM THE CITY OF PLYMOUTH Dear : The City Council annually seeks to budget a certain amount of money for the support of human service agencies serving Plymouth residents. You are receiving this letter because you are receiving funding in 1990. We are in the process of assembling the 1991/1992 budget. In order for your agency to be considered by the City Council for funding in 1991, you should submit a budget request and justification to me no later than May 28. The narrative supporting your budget request should be responsive to the attached "policy relating to city funding of human service agencies." The Council prefers that you respond to each of the seven criteria specific- ally in order that your request can be clearly evaluated against those of other agencies competing for city support. In addition, the City Council specifically requires a statement of the salaries, separately identifying fringe benefits for each individual employed. The Council is also requesting a statement showing the organization's anticipated 1991 revenues (including itemization of sources and amounts) and the organization's expected expenditures by line item for 1991. Finally, the Council desires information on any and all surpluses or reserves created or maintained by your agency. The materials you supply as a result of this request will be the primary basis for determining whether your agency receives funding. Incomplete requests will not be considered. Please let me know if you have any questions about this letter. Sincerely, Frank Boyles Assistant City Manager f 6.

Our discussion centered on the weed abatement the City dealt with during 1989. His intentions were to plant the field with oats as before. The issue still remains the inaccessability of some of the property to equipment and the presence of noxious weeds. His indication was that not much different would be done on his part in relation to what was done last year. I indicated to him that he should contact us when the weed situation arises and that we would see what we could work out. He was happy to hear that and wished that he had communicated with us last season.

Carlquist - Director of Public Safety FROM: Steven Correll - Services Superviso6� SUBJECT: TRAIL CONNECTING STEEPLE CHASE AND CHELSEA WOODS On Monday, April 16th, I went to observe the trail that had the barbed wire crossing its path. I eventually found the trail, which originates just to the west of the lot line of 2165 Zanzibar Lane, on the Steeple Chase side of the property line. The first thing you notice when you see this paved trail is the sign posted "trail closed", then upon walking about another 40 feet you see that the trail immediately ends, and the end of the trail is blocked by a large sign that says"no trespassing, private property." Anyone who then passes the sign by leaving the trail, and goes behind the sign, will see a mound of dirt. Packed down into the dirt is the barbed wire in question, with some barbed wire exposed on the edge of the path. This barbed wire appears to be very old, and may have originally been in this location or has been moved from another location within the same area, to slow the flow of traffic from Steeple Chase to Chelsea Woods. The barbed wire appears to be free standing and not attached. Officer Phil Sykes was assigned to remove the barbed wire at his earliest availability, and throw the barbed wire away at the City shops.

I have spoken with the Hennepin County Agricultural inspector and the Head of Weed Enforcement with the Department of Agriculture. Spotted knapweed is on the secondary noxious weed list. It is found in Minnesota, primarily in the west. It occupies a harsher site like a gravel pit, or road bed, and does better in a drier climate. This may explain why it is more prevalent in the west. They did not express a great deal of concern with this plant in Minnesota with our moister environment. We have had some dry periods the last few years giving the plant a better chance for survival, however, when our rain returns, it evidently will not do as well. I did obtain some pictures and information for you on spotted knapweed which, interestingly enough, indicates that certain varieties are even edible. This was found in "Field and Garden Guide to Herbs," Kondor M.M. If you need further information, you may contact me at 550-5151, or Chuck Dale, Department of Agriculture, at 296-6123, or Greg Senst, County Ag. Inspector, at 935-3381. Sincerely,//, Mark S.

( Star Thistle) The easiest way to recognize Knapweed is by the distinctive fringed black tips of the lower bracts (see detail). The dried bracts form a cup, inside of which you might find many fine hairs. At the base of the hairs are the fruits (achenes). The overall growth form of Knapweed is variable. It is often much branched and rather scraggly. It grows in the worst soils, and is common in old gravel pits and along roadsides. It is a biennial, growing up to six feet tall. There are many species of Centausea, of which C. maculom is the most common. The various species are easy to tell apart, because euh has a differently patterned fringe on the bracts, but this distinction is beyond the scope of this book.

It is only at times like yesterday that we become aware of all of the heartfelt concern that abounds in the fine people of this area. Truely it was overwhelming. Annie was found safe (and sleepy) by Robbie (our 17 year old son) in the large grassy field to the East of our house. Evidently she had become tired of walking in the tall dry grass and had then laid down for a nap, never hearing our calls, nor trucks which were frequently criss-crossing that same field. (We were certainly lucky that no one ran her over!) All told, she had been missing for about three hours. Possibly you can imagine all of the horrible thoughts that can go through a parent's mind at a time like that. The Plymouth Police and DNR had also responded in a caring and professional manner and were beginning to call in the Police Reserve Volunteers to search with 4 - wheelers and an airplane. Fortunately, we didn't need all of that assistance, and were able to report her found "safe and sound" before the team was brought in. It is truely comforting to know that we have such a capable and responsive Police Department, and of course the many friends and neighbors who had already put in alot of energy and footwork. Again, our most sincere "thank you" for all of the genuine concern, and help in searching for our daughter. We are most grateful! From our hearts, The Hetchler Family Paul and Teri Brian, Robbie, Katie, Elizabeth and little Annie CIM NIR 20'90 CIN Fes' nr O ) er e ee ct en $ 3/ a•I ch rn hr l G/ve Ie ' Ar �v �nvc,v Tf7c� would o T h �,✓ — .L -A e r•e-4cLc / c 7 - remem /Y -X/ ivol-c Jo Aorf and tle 4 Arno T eV)Clw Mw hu -Jo / S v c�lW , i houl AQ /I •� •� n c Abe. r� ! i APR ?

Tax Increment Bonds of 1990 Dear Jim and Dale: On April 1, Plymouth took bids for the above bond issue. On that date, the 10 -year average U.S. Treasury yield was 8.64% compared to the 10 -year average U.S. Treasury yield of 8.50% used in our March 5 financing report. We estimated a 9.003% NIC for this issue in that report. The actual NIC on the bond issue was 9.0834%. Taxable issues trade off current par U.S. Treasury yields. We received a strong bid. The coupon rates bid were only 18 basis points higher than U.S. Treasuries. Under normal market conditions this can range from 45 to 90 basis points. Currently many banks are not interested in purchasing corporate bonds due to the number of leveraged buyouts occurring in the U.S. This has created a demand for taxable municipal issues. Following is a comparison of Plymouth rates compared to recent similar Minnesota taxable tax increment bond sales: co 0 20 go OFFICES IN MINNEAPOLIS AND WAUKESHA 2950 Norwest Center • 90 South Seventh Street • Minneapolis, MN 55402-4100 •612-339-8291 • FAX 612-339-0854 Plymouth Average Chaska Hopkins April 2 U.S. Treasury March 28 March 6 Moody's Aa Yields Moody's A Moody's Al Year $1.350.000 April $1.975.000 $2.875.000 1994 8.90% 8.70% 8.90% 8.900% 1995 8.90% 8.69% 9.00% 9.000% 1996 8.90%. 8.74% 9.00% 9.000% 1997 8.90% 8.71% 9.10% 9.125% 1998 8.90% 8.74% 9.10% 9.125% 1999 8.90% 8.72% 9.20% 9.125% Avg.

The problem stems from trucks running their engines and refrigeration equipment during the evening and early morning hours while waiting for your company to open in the morning. We first had a sign posted on the streets indicating that there was no parking 2 a.m.-5 a.m. on any City street. This did not work 1 We found that our police cars would still have to go on complaint to talk with the drivers after 2 a.m. and ask them to move. Then we had the streets posted no parking anytime. This matter was brought to the City Council's attention in order to accomplish that posting. But, it still doesn't work! We are still getting calls to tell the truck drivers to move on to a truck stop, or some other area, so that they do not disturb the nearby residents. The purpose of writing this letter to you is to suggest another remedy. Is it possible for you to include some type of cover letter or information on your invoices to alert your suppliers and truck drivers of the problem, we are facing? At this point in time, I am open to any suggestions. Frankly, it is getting ridiculous when we have to respond sometimes three times during an evening shift to move the truckers on.

APR 20 'go April 18, 1990 Mr. Jack Remien, President PYA Monarch Foods 9605 54th Avenue North Plymouth, MN 55442 Dear Mr. Remien: CIN OF PLYMOUTF+ You have been sent a letter by the Plymouth Public Safety Director Dick Carlquist regarding the trucks that are destined for your operation and that park on the adjacent street while letting their engines and refrigeration equipment idle. I also seek your cooperation in resolving this problem which essentially is the negative impact upon the surrounding neighborhood. There is a condition here which constitutes a violation of the Plymouth Zoning Ordinance in that all business establishments in the City are responsible for providing adequate offstreet vehicle parking and circulation. The denial of those facilities by virtue of your locked gate is resulting in the onstreet problem. One solution, in addition to those suggested by the Public Safety Director would be to open the gate anytime a truck arrives with your shipment. There is adequate area on the site to accommodate the vehicles I have witnessed on the street in the early morning hours. The Public Safety Director has suggested contacting the various vendors and suppliers and that probably is a good approach, although I can appreciate the frustration in extending communications to the drivers. When your facility was first proposed and when the plans were reviewed by the City, I recall that more than adequate space was provided on the site for the trucks and other vehicles that were related to your particular use. My observation therefore, from a land use standpoint, is that the issue is a matter of proper and effective use of available resources. Please contact me if I can be of assistance in clarifying the requirements of the City Zoning Ordinance. Sincerel Blair Tremere Community Development Director cc: James G.

The study will investigate the levels of I/I in both metropolitan interceptors and municipal sanitary sewer systems. The study will also evaluate the impact of these flows and determine what incentives and disincentives may be considered to reduce these flows. The I/I study is being conducted in accordance with policy contained in the Metropolitan Council Water Resources Management Part 1, Wastewater Treatment and Handling Policy Plan. The policy requires the Commission to: 1) Conduct thorough investigations that document I/I levels by community, and relates the findings to overall metropolitan system costs; 2) Investigate the feasibility of establishing a program of incentives and disincentives to assist local government in reducing I/I; 3) Approve local comprehensive sewer plans only for communities that have acceptable I/I abatement programs in their comprehensive plans, and 4) Identify and reduce excessive I/f occurrence in metropolitan interceptors as part of an increased inspection and maintenance program. The Commission has authorized the consulting firm -of CH2M HILL to begin work on the systemwide I/I evaluation. The first phase will concentrate on reviewing available information and soliciting community input in refining the objectives and technical methodologies to be employed. In the next few months informational meetings will be held. Key city staff and elected officials will be invited to attend. A report on the first phase of the study will be distributed for comment in the latter part of this summer. CIM APR 2 0 10 Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer ram Your participation in this study is important. In the coming months we will ask your cooperation in providing information on the past, current and future activities related to I/I in your community. This will assist in geographically categorizing the levels of I/I and its impact on the Metropolitan Disposal System. This will also provide a good opportunity for the communities to assemble the I/I program documentation required' in the current upgrading of Comprehensive Sewer Plans. If you have any questions or would like further information on the systemwide I/I evaluation please feel free to call Mr. Ray Odde (229-2114), or Mr. Wayne Rikala (229-2127) of our staff.

While the projected soft real estate market in the Twin Cities will cause uncertainties and challenges for all of us, one bright spot is that many properties are over -valued for real estate tax purposes. This, together with the new changes in property tax law, makes it wise for you to consider protesting your real estate taxes. Tax reduction may be available not only to owners, but also to tenants who pay real estate taxes under their leases. We have been very successful in reducing property taxes over the years. If you have any concern that your property taxes are too high or that your assessed valuation is excessive; please contact any of the below listed attorneys directly or your other friends in the firm. Our initial consultation will be without obligation. While the deadline for petitioning your 1990 taxes is May 15, 1990, we will be able to serve you more effectively if you contact us as soon as possible. As with all other areas of LHDL practice, our commitment is to provide prompt; efficient and excellent service in these economically important matters. We look forward to hearing from you. y.

Begin Dear Mr. and Mrs. Begin: CIN OF PLYMOUTR I learned at the City Council meeting Monday evening that you requested deferral of the pending appeal from the Board of Zoning Adjustments ruling until May 21, 1990. The Mayor indicated that you said you would obtain a building permit by that date for a single family dwelling on the property on the west side of Pomerleau Lake. Your intent as I understand it is to develop a principal use on the property, thereby rendering the picnic shelter as a bona fide accessory use. This letter is intended to guide you with your plans. 1. The City Council approved your appeal from the Board of Zoning Adjustments and Appeals ruling regarding a variance from the minimum Shoreland Management area standards in July, 1988. The City Council authorized a setback variance of 60 feet encroachment into the required Shoreland Management setback area. 2. The Zoning Ordinance in Section 11, Subdivision C provides that building permits for which variances have been granted shall be taken within one year of the date of the order and the order for a variance expires if the building permits have not been taken by then. 3. I am authorized by the Zoning Ordinance to continue the order for the variance for a reasonable time upon written request of the petitioner and upon the determination by me that the proposed development and the related standards of the Ordinance have not changed from those considered with the original application. I am prepared to extend the variance/order upon receipt from you of a complete application for a building permit for a single family dwelling that conforms with the location and dimensions contemplated by the variance approval, and upon the issuance of the building permit by the Building Official who would have thus verified that the application is in order and consistent with applicable codes and ordinances. This is feasible within your stated schedule of May 21, 1990, if you act promptly.

You should therefore submit to the Building Official an application for a variance from the Shoreland Management regulations if it is your intent to retain the accessory structure at that location in addition to the single family dwelling you now propose. That application should be made before the building permit is issued for the house; the permit for the house will not be delayed by the review of that variance request. I have discussed this with the City Attorney and with the Building Official and we concur that the process outlined above is consistent with your proposal to resolve the matter by applying for and obtaining a building permit for a dwelling by May 21, 1990.
