POLITICAL LAWN SIGNS -- The League of Cities has informed us that a provision in the Secretary of State's "housekeeping" legislation will prevent cities from enforcing restrictions on the size of political lawn signs during the 1990 state primary and general election campaigns. Under the terms of the law, municipalities are not permitted to enforce regulations on the dimensions of political lawn signs for the period from August 1 until ten days after the November 6 general election. This bill only applies to the years in which state elections are held and therefore, will not be effective for elections involving local city elections. 10. DEVELOPMENT SIGNAGE -- On Friday, May 11, development signs were placed at the following locations: 1. South of Medina Road and east of the City of Medina border. U.S. Home is proposing a PUD Concept Plan. The Concept Plan is proposing 116.5 acres to be developed into 256 single family lots. (90028) 2. Northwest corner of Berkshire Lane and County Road 9. Trammell Crow Company is proposing a Site Plan and Conditional Use Permit. The Site Plan and Conditional Use Permit are for the development of 5,880 square feet of New Horizon Day Care on that site.

The Site Plan and Conditional Use Permit are for a new elementary school. The rezoning is from FRD (Future Restricted Development) District to R-lA (Low Density Single Family Residential) District.

WATER QUALITY REPORT FOR ELM CREEK WATERSHED MANAGEMENT COMMISSION -- The City has received a copy of the 1989 Water Quality Report for the Elm Creek Watershed Management Commission. The report outlines the Commission's findings for five lakes sampled this year (Weaver, Jubert, Fish, Diamond, and Dubay), along with area stream monitoring results. The only Elm Creek District lake monitoring station in the City of Plymouth is at Mud Lake where lake sampling was last conducted in 1986. A map outlining the Elm Creek District is attached. The full report will be on file for Council review in my office the next two weeks. (I-11) 12. CIGARETTE VENDING MACHINE SURVEY -- On March 20, Mayor Bergman sent a letter and survey form to all businesses holding cigarette licenses in the City of Plymouth. The letter requested that business owners consider whether their cigarette vending machines are in a location least accessible to minors, and if sales are made over the counter, that clerks be reminded of their responsibility not to sell to minors. We received responses from 47 of the 55 businesses holding cigarette licenses. Thirty-five businesses sell cigarettes over the counter only and all of them reminded employees of their obligation not to sell cigarettes to anyone under the age of 18. Eleven businesses sell cigarettes by vending machine only. Most of the vending machines were located in an employee lunchroom or other area not accessible to minors. Two machines were moved to a better location and one machine was removed entirely. 13. PLYMOUTH COMMUNITY LIBRARY -- Thursday morning I met with Mr. Bob Rohlf, Library Director, and two members of his staff regarding the status of the proposed Plymouth Library. Mr. Rohlf informs me that the library still is in the Capital Improvement Program of the Library Board. That plan contemplates a site being acquired in the community in 1991 with construction to be completed by 1993. Mr. Rohlf indicates that the Hennepin County CITY COUNCIL INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM May 17, 1990 Page 5 Capital Budgeting Task Force, as well as the County Board must review their Capital Improvement Program prior to its adoption later this year. He suggested that one of the primary concerns the County has had for some projects has not been so much the capital costs, but the operating costs. Mr. Rohlf estimates that the annual operating costs of a new Plymouth library would be approximately $300,000 per year. The capital cost estimate for the project last year was $2,443,000 which included site acquisition and construction, as well as furnishing and library books. 14. ELECTIONS AND ETHICS REFORM ACT OF 1990 - LOBBYIST/ECONOMIC AND CONFLICT OF INTEREST PROVISIONS At our last Council meeting I reported verbally to the Council on certain changes in state law which impact lobbying and financial disclosure. The new law extends certain reporting requirements to cities over 50,000 within the Twin City metropolitan area. The law requires certain disclosure requirements on the part of persons hired to lobby on behalf of political subdivisions, as well as non -elected local officials who spend more than 50 hours in any month "attempting to influence legislation or administrative action, or the official action of a metropolitan governmental unit other than the political subdivision employing the official or employee." Local elected officials are excluded as being defined as lobbyists. Those who are determined to be lobbyists under the terms of the act are required to submit reports to the State Ethical Practices Board on the extent and purpose of their lobbying, as well as the funds expended. Based on my understanding of the law, I do not believe any employee of the City of Plymouth would meet the test of the 50 hours per month requirement, at the current time. The second portion of the law deals with local elected or appointed officials who may have an economic interest or conflict with respect to some matter coming before a governmental unit. This matter appears to be more complex and I have asked the City Attorney to review the statute and inform us of its ramifications with respect to Plymouth. It would appear that if certain conflicts are deemed to exist, that reports would be required to be filed with the city and if such documents would be deemed to be public. 15. CORRESPONDENCE: a.

Willis, City Manager Charles E. D' Community HENNEP COUNTY 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. ' I CIM MAY 17 t^ -q 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.

Each person in attendance introduced him/herself to the group. Vomhof welcomed everyone and briefly described the annual compliance meeting. Vomhof outlined the agenda as follows: 1) History of District 281 Summer School, 2) Transition Summer School - Just For Kids, 3) Current Summer Activities Program, and 4) Future of Summer Activities. Vern Ege, Coordinator of Extended Programs, outlined the history of summer school in District 281, from 1960 up to last year (summer of 1989) when remedial skills classes were the only thing offered. Vomhof discussed the recent collaboration of the cities and school district regarding summer school. He described the Just For Kids task force, co-chaired by Joy Robb and Bob Zitur, and its subcommittees. Ege handed out copies of the Summer Activities 1990 bulletin, which were sent to approximately 6,000 residents. He praised staff (Park & Recs, District 281, Camp Fire and YMCA) and volunteers for their efforts with the program, and Meredythe Jones -Rossi for her work on the bulletin. It is estimated there will be about 600 participants in the Summer Activities program The future of Summer Activities was discussed by Linda Kemper, Assistant to the Director of CEF. She addressed the need for summer opportunities for children and the need for collaboration between the cities and the school district. She also challenged the group to find ways to serve the population not yet being reached — the at -risk children and families. As food for thought, Kemper showed an overhead transparency. It represented a full-day model of summer activities, showing how the school district could provide transportation between morning activities at District 281 facilities, and afternoon activities at Park & Recs, YMCA, etc. (over) AM Vw`! 17 `��;) Vomhof opened the floor for questions and discussion. The consensus of the group was very positive to collaboration. Mary Anderson, Mayor of Golden Valley, suggested the elected officials of the cities get together more often to discuss this.

Willis, City Manager FROM: Eric J. Blank, Director of Parks and Recreation SUBJECT: UPDATE - PARKERS LAKE WATER USE RULES I met with representatives of Parkers Lake residents on Tuesday, May 15. Their basic concern is the use of personal water craft or jet skis. The consensus of the group was that if jet skis were controlled in some fashion, the rest of the uses such as water skiing, fishing and sailing would be self regulated. I am going to contact representatives of the DNR to discuss what the appropriate means are to regulate jet skis, and we will reconvene on Tuesday, May 29.

CIM MAY PTO Peter Tysdal 3015 East Medicine Lake Boulevard Plymouth, Mn. 55441 c May 10, 1990` ' t�• Lori Roundhouse Plymouth city hall 3400 Plymouth Boulevard Plymouth, Mn. 55447 Regarding my presentation to the local board of review on Tuesday, 5/8, I must apologize for my confusion as to who was on the review board as of two years ago. In particular I can't recall Ms. Roundhorse being there. As to my lack of respect for your assessors, I will just say that I regard both Mr. Hovet and Ms. Mauderer as nonentities, more so than others who have stolen from me. This theft being the extra tax and time required to pursue my rights, not counting the extreme aggravation I've endured. I,m not alone in my desire to see them fired. I consider their actions worse than theft for it is my tax dollars that pay their salary. As public servants, they have a duty to honor a citizen's rights. In the past I've found that being civil does not work when dealing with this city. It seems everything must be fought for. If you think me bitter, you're right. I've been harassed many times during my 10 year residence. This includes a refusal to be allowed a 6' fence to alleviate my unique problems. Those problem were my location-close to and below the level of the noisy, heavily traveled boulevard, similar to being in a fishbowl. I was 'allowed' to request a variance, requiring an excessive filing fee and preparation, to come before a group of closed minded individuals for their predetermined adverse decision. My desire to build a garage and be allowed full use of my property isn't allowed, while I continue to be taxed as if it were. To add insult to injury, both a neighbor and myself have been cited for parking next to the road despite that being the only place to park. I've also caught Ms. Mauderer snooping around my homestead, despite its valuation not being under review, and despite my posted 'no trespassing' signs_ I had previously made it clear she was to stay off my property without an appointment. Lastly, I am irked by the pursuit of the unnecessary continuation of the trail system that would dislocate a business and 5 homeowners including my neighbor, Mrs. Cox, who has lived here 50 years. Most aggravating is the city's siding with the county and the refusal to explore alternatives, which are several. Let me remind you that this is a republic, which allows for individual citizen rights, not just where a simple majority dictates their will on the rest. The fact remains that if only those who benefited from the trail were to directly pay for it, they, too, would want to explore those less costly alternatives. An out of state acquaintance, familiar with the better things in life, looked out my patio door and referred to my property (3005 and 3015 combined) as "worth a half a million dollars". I responded first with "Where would I find anything better" and that a third of a million dollars would buy a home on the Atlantic ocean. The city/county would like to deprive us of our treasure, but for a song. Yours truly, Peter Tysdal�►;{ 17 CofC:All local board of review members Scott Hovet % elm. PAY 1 Susan Mauderer May 14, 1990 Mr. Donovan Johnson Woodlake Sanitary Sewer 4000 Hamel Road Hamel, MN 55340 Dear Mr. Johnson CITY OF PLYMOUTR I have received a complaint from a Plymouth resident about the hours of your firm's garbage collection service. The resident stated that your truck is coming to the area of 2700 Olive Lane at about 5:30 a.m. He believes this is much too early and disturbs the tranquility of a residential neighborhood. The Plymouth noise ordinance prohibits excessive noise in residential areas between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. While the ordinance does not specifically address garbage collection, this use would be included in the intent of the ordinance. We could propose an ordinance that would prohibit garbage collection prior to 7:00 a.m.; however, most haulers have been cooperative when we request that residential pickup occur only after 7:00 a.m. It is in our mutual interest to avoid such problems in the future. In May, 1989, I sent you a similar letter regarding early pickup in another area of the City. Since this is a new license year, I am sending a reminder notice in hopes that we can resolve the issue. Please let me know how you intend to address this issue. Thank you. Sincerely, Laurie Rauenhorst City Clerk cc: 1990 Refuse Hauler License File City Council CSM vAV 17 '° 11 3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD, PLYMOUTH. MINNESOTA 55447. TELEPHONE (612) 559-2800 BSc, May 11, 1990 Mr. Douglas J. Mirk Minnesota ACORN Canvass Director 757 Raymond Avenue #206 St. Paul, MN 55114 Dear Mr. Mirk: In March you notified me that the ACORN group would be canvassing in the City of Plymouth. I informed you by letter that no license to solicit is required of your group due to the type of solicitation you were planning. I also indicated that I would contact you if we received any complaints about members of your group. I am enclosing a copy of a letter I received from a Plymouth resident expressing concern with the tactics used by a member of your group. Also enclosed is a copy of the police report relating to this incident. In addition, I received a phone call from another resident a few days before receiving the letter relaying the same concerns. I believe the type of behavior outlined in the letter and police report (i.e. refusing to immediately identify the group name, and using 'scare tactics' to encourage residents to listen to a presentation or give money) is inappropriate, whether the group is non-profit or profit and whether or not licensing is required. I would appreciate receiving a reaction from you to this incident and steps you intend to take to ensure this type of sales tactic will not be used in the future, at least in Plymouth. If you would like to discuss this further, please contact me at 550-5014. I will be out of the office for two weeks starting May 18, but will return on June 4. Thank you. Sincerely, Laurie Rauenhorst City Clerk ' 3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD, PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447, TELEPHONE (612) 550-5000 CIM MAY 17 '0 To Whom it May Concern; A representative from "ACORN" came to my door shortly after 7:00pm. I was busy, on the phone, so I asked where she was from. She would not tell me. I said that she was welcome to leave papers on the organization for me to review at a later time, and she didn't have any. I said, please come back another day then. She said I will be back tonight. I said NOT tonight because I was busy. After about 10 minutes thought about this, I tracked her down about 5 houses away, and before she knocked on the door I said "hey, wait a minute"; She recognized me as the lady who was busy and I said WHAT ORGANIZATION ARE YOU WORKING FOR? And she told me to listen in on her "presentation". I did. She began by telling my neighbor, that THERE MAY HAVE BEEN SOME RAPES AND CHILD MOLESTATION IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD! I immediatly cut in by saying "where? in OUR neighborhood?.' Then she said ..."I don't know". So I told her that she shouldn't say that. I then told her that I had a xerox machine and that I would meet her back at my house and make a copy of her lisence, which she did have, but was not readily accessible. It took awhile for her to find it. She had no picture I. D. which apparantly is the nature of the non-profit solicitation agreement. I stated that I thought she would have to have a lisence to go door to door asking for money, (which was only a guess on my part at the time) E CIM MAY 17 '90 She responded by telling me that she was not soliciting for money, but she was out spreading the word about rape, child molestation and how' widespread it is. Shortly after this 1.contacted other neighbors about her presence in our neighborhood on a friday night, and her reluctance to reveal the organization she worked for, and he told me that she high pressured him for money, and also she asked him if I had shown up at his house about her. I have spoken with Mr.'Rick Herman, from the Plymouth Police Department, about this, and I have informed him of the tactics that were used in her presentation. I have heard from a close friend and reliable source that the take- home cut on this Non-profit organization is 59%. Please look into this when you have the time. I am quite interested in the safety of our childern, as any mother would be. Not only does this type of representation make us wonder where our financial support should go, because this person was reluctant to tell of her cause first, but rather she put the "RAPE AND CHILD MOLESTATION, THAT MAY HAVE OCCURED IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD" first. Then she turned around and lied to me, when I copied her lisence, and said she never said that. This made me think that there was certianly a person walking through our neighborhood who could have been a "child molester" herself. She wore all black and,her hair was covered and she was wearing glasses. She -;appeared out of place in this area and it was quite alarming. Being "mysterious" isn't always good, you know especially when rape and child molestation come into the picture. And CIM MAY 17 'Qtl especially when you begin your representation with a scary statement, and then turn around and say you never said it. Something should be done about this. Truley we deserve and explaination for this lady going to our houses and either leaving NOTHING behind or scaring the heck out of us. Apparently after I set her straight verbally, she had quit using the "RAPE AND CHILD MOLESTATION, IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD" line. And so be it. But, this never should have happened. If you would like for me to call ACORN and express this directly to them, please let me know. I will. I think you may also want to confirm the wages recieved by these Non-profit, employee's. This is an unfortunate and and possibly a very insincere situation on there part. Please let me know the outcome of this at your earliest convenience. I want to protect childern, and I want to protect our hard earned money, and reveal any inconsistancies and misrepresentations in this instance. I would request further investigation into this association before any- more freedom to "solicitation" is allowed. You ray contact me if you wish to. All that I know is contained within my letter and I an not asking for an apology from The City of Plymouth. This is only a letter to inform you of this happening so that it may be prevented in -the future. Thank you for listening.

HERMAN:EE3 cim MAY 17'90 May 11, 1990 Avenue North Plymouth, MN 55447 Dear Ms. vF •.-2 CITY OF PLYMOUTH+ Thank you for taking the time to document the incident you experienced with the ACORN group. I certainly agree that the behavior you describe in your letter (i.e. the group member refusing to immediately identify the group and the "scare tactics" used), is inappropriate. I am enclosing a copy of a letter I sent to the ACORN Canvassing Director, Douglas J. Mirk. You will note that I have asked what steps he intends to take to ensure that these types of sales tactics will not be used in the futurg. If I receive a response from Mr. Mirk, I will forward a copy to you. I have been informed that the group is no longer soliciting in the City. However, it helps that the Police Department is aware of this incident if they have future encounters with this group. The City did not license or endorse the ACORN organization. Because the group is not selling or taking orders for a product, we cannot require licensing under our current ordinances. It somewhat further complicates the issue that the group is incorporated as a non-profit group under the laws of the State of Minnesota. I have also forwarded a copy of your letter and the police report to the Secretary of State's office, Corporation Division, so they can question the non-profit status of this group. Again, thank you for your letter. Perhaps through your efforts of confronting and documenting the actions of this group, others will not have to encounter the same thing. If you have future problems with this group, please contact the Police Department at 911 or non -emergency 550-5160. I can be reached at 550-5014.

SOLICITATION BY ACORN GROUP Douglas Mirk, Coordinator of ACORN, called after receiving my letter. He stated the ACORN group has completed their solicitation in Plymouth for this year; however, he wanted to respond to the statements made. Mr. Mirk spoke with the solicitor who we received a complaint about. The solicitor disagrees with the statements made and feels the incident did not occur in that way. She stated the resident followed her from house to house in the neighborhood. Mr. Mirk said the ACORN solicitors do not keep 50% of their collected donations as reported and that they provide the name of the organization as often as possible. Finally, he said the purpose of the ACORN project is to fight rape in low to moderate income neighborhoods. This statement is part of their presentation. They do not claim to benefit the neighborhoods they solicit in, because the funds usually do not go those neighborhoods. I have called Mrs. the resident who sent the original letter, to let her know that the group is no longer soliciting in the City this year and thanking her for her letter.

I have been a resident of Plymouth since February, 1979, and have enjoyed living in Cimarron East for all of that period. I currently and for the past eight years have serviced our Association in a variety of Board activities anal/or group committee functions. I an distressed that no one in the present positions of Directors or Council rAembers have ever, to my knowledge in the period since 1979 talked about golf club facilities for a community of our size and ever growing. I am serious in suggesting th t the acreage covered in this notice to owners might well be used for an executive type golf activity which, among other things, might provide a revenue stream to the city, Instead of expense, police and other costly services. Not all of us, for example run., jog, work out, marathon, and so on. Golf is best of all those exercise needs because it encDurages str^na le-s,'good knees, and weneral all around conditioning, and can be played from cradle to grave. Golf is fast growing, probably the equivalent of any of the other pprk uses. In the Cimarron Ponds area, the Cimarron East Area, the Chelsea woods area and others, it would seem the needs of seniors might be considered, though in truth, all peorle of all ares play golf. Further it is a daytime cash source for the city, and will not encouracye the congestion, pranks, vandalism and nuisance factors which often accompany playfields which may be partially lighted, wnicn tnen become sources of excess traffic, noise and disruption of the domestic scene. UM MY 17 'g 7=: \sz:�: A MEMBER OF THE SEARS FINANCIAL NETWORK page 2 In addition, to satisfy the "green thumb" people, golf outlets can be beautified in ways that would contribute greatly to the environment and overall values of our living units, thus in the lont7 term improving; the pricing and basis for tax valuations. Your blec>;top parking area on the north side of County hoad ff9 and west of Niagara is not used that much and could be the golf parking; area without much additional work on that portion of a facility.

My roommate and I moved into the Plymouth Ponds apartments in August of 1988. Until now, we have been very happy with the area and location. Since moving to Plymouth, we have been very conscientious about recycling - bringing our cans, bottles and papers to various drop-off points in Plymouth, New Hope and Crystal. I am afraid, though, that we are the exception. I was under the impression that our apartment managers were not choosing to put recylcling bins at the apartment sites. When I inquired about this, I was very upset to find out that it was in fact the city of Plymouth that does not provide recycling services to multi -family dwellings. I find this pol- icy to be extremely unfair, and discriminatory. Part of our rent goes towards paying property taxes, utilities, and garbage removal much the same as private homes. We, and others in our com- plex, as well as other apartment and town house tennants, want to do our part towards the nation-wide recycling effort. Yet due to this policy, we are being forced to find our own means, while other residents are getting curb -side service. Human nature as it is, many people will just throw their recyclables in the trash if not given a convenient alternative. I strongly feel if we were given the same opportunities as other Plymouth residents, we would go a long way in helping reduce our landfills, and in the long term clean up our earth.

The street (twelve) was ploted to go through, but the hill was so steep, they decided to end the street below the hill. My suggestion was to put a black top sidewalkway through this section. People in my neighborhood walk their dogs through here, and the children ride their bikes down the hill. Plus sliding down the hill in the winter . It would be more useful and last longer than the sod you laid today as it gets a lot of use. People come through here who are strangers to the area trying to find the Luce Line. They walk down to the blind part of our roBei, and then have to turn around and go back. I would also suggest that you put a sign indicating which way to go to the Luce Line. I understood from neighbors that a stairway was in the making at the dead end. This would facilitate persons who wanted to walk around the lake to be as close to it all the way around.

You are to be sincerely complimented and thanked for taking the concerns and desires of those for%whom the park is being developed into consideration* during its design�and.development_ As you stated, the park will probably be.there.for.50.years. •It is imperative that'what it .is designed to provide is in synch with the needs of those who will utilize it, those of us in. its immediate proximity whose daiiy.life will be affected by its use,- and projected social trends in general.' I do have some•very strong.concerns of the park's development as currently proposed_ I am not a professional -planner, nor do I pretend to be one. However it does appear to me that the density of - facilities proposed for the park is too great for the area available.I fear that the potential.quality of the park -is being sacrificed"by the quantity of fields proposed. -This situation would be even worse than what was shown on the latest design you displayed by the fact that that design did not include the skating pond -which you stated -would have to be "squeezed in somewhere" Another concern I,have'is•.the degree of lighting -required for the fields and rinks as • proposed . • - I do not doubt '. the need . "f br -the lighting you described for the types of fields proposed. :I do strongly question if this'type and amount of lighting is appropriate for a park that is to be located in the middle of a residential nei.ghborh6od. Zachary Park, which I understand to be similar in design to the current proposal for Bass Lake Playfield, is next to a church and water tower and across from a school. Bass Lake Playfield on the other hand is surrounded at least on three sides by residential neighborhoods_ The impact of the park, as currently proposed, on motor traffic volume and speed on Pineview is perhaps the most worrisome of all my concerns_ The Bass Lake neighborhood is dominated by people who like to walk, jog, and bicycle. Many of these activities are done in 1 1sii 1''A _ family.groupings, and with the locations of the various residential pockets itis impossible to partake in any of them without utilizing Pineview. Out of regard for safety. -the last thing that is needed on that street is more and faster traffic. I want to assure you that I am not against the development of the park. I have two children who are actively involved in organized athletics and recreational activities, and therefor from a personal standpoint I am excited about the park's potential. Furthermore, the -benefits of a soundly thought out and well designed park are something that"'11 of northern Plymouth.and the. Bass Lake area can be grateful 'to -the Plymouth PRAC and city government for_ What I want us to avoid is any action that for expediency,sake•sacrifices quality for quantiy and turns a community neighborhood into an area with a "light ':;industrial" feel_ - I -have every reason to believe that quality,o# neighborhood and -life is important to you. Otherwise I do not think you would have taken the time (or hassle and grief) to`involve'the community as openly as - you' have, i n the planning process.-*.-.' I ` a6 -'not feel that we' need' to or should go'fo the extent that i" linnetonka.went"to recently when it totally abandoned plans to develop'an-athletic,'complex. However,'.I' hope"we all -.will excercise the foresight'to assure that what is developed today will enhance the quality of the -Bass Lake area and Plymouth as a whole for the next 50. years.

We have been residents of Plymouth for the last 12 years, and for the past 9 years we have eagerly been anticipating the building of the Bass Lake Playfields. As a parent of elementary age children, we feel the playfields are sorely needed in this area. In order for our children, and those in this area to find a baEeb=ll field, they must be driven at least 2.5 miles. It is further to the nearest hockey and soccer facilities.. As you can see, we need Piayficids in this area. Last year we coved within the Hass Lake area to a new home. One of the reasons for this de=ision was the pending playfields that would be close to our home and available for both children and adults. I understand that there is some opposition to the playfields from. residents s€rrrounding the park. They have proposed a more natural park. This is not, in cy opinion, what. we need. There are several natural parks in the area, including French Prk and the Fish Lake Park. Preserve. What we need are playfields.

Bergman, Mayor City of Plymouth t `' 3400 Plymouth Blvd. Plymouth, MN 55447 Dear Mayor Bergman: Last year the Minnesota Legislature made statuatory revisions that will affect both Metro Area municipalities and the Metropolitan Council. These revisions amend the laws that set the dates when Council population and household estimates are needed by the Revenue Department for use in their calculations of local government aid and levy limits. We want to alert you to these amendments and to notify you of modifications we plan to make to our 1990 estimates schedule based on these changes. The availability of the 1990 decennial census results will also be critical to the timing of 1990 population and household releases. Until last year, the Department of Revenue was directed by law to use the most recent estimate of population and households available, which has historically been the Council's. The Metro Council releases its April 1 estimates for the current year at about the same time the State Demographer's office releases estimates for the previous year. The law has been revised to specify that therp evious year's estimates will now be used in Revenue's calculations. For this year, the change means that the Department of Revenue will use the Council's April 1, 1989, estimates. The amended law states that an actual count, or a Council estimate of population and households for 1990, must be submitted to the Department of Revenue by May 1991. Preliminary April 1, 1990, population counts should be available from the Census Bureau before that time. Although census household numbers will not be tabulated as early as population, housing unit counts for each municipality are scheduled to be ready shortly after the population statistics. The Council staff will estimate the number of households using these preliminary housing unit counts and our vacancy data. Since the Department of Revenue will use our 1989 estimates this year, we will not release our own estimates in July. The process for determining the timing of subsequent estimates has not been finalized. If you have questions or comments about these changes, please feel free to contact Kathy Johnson at 291-6332 or Michael Munson at 291-6331.

I left with the impression that the city council was interested in reviewing this project. You requested that I send you copies of the correspondence I had with the city last year. I have included with this letter copies of my original letters and the responses I received from the various city departments. I hope you will find these a source of usable information. I purchased my home eleven years ago at a premium price because it was lakeshore property. The other four'families on the bay purchased their homes with the same understanding. After the watershed project of 1982 we were the only residents that were denied access to the lake. We had wet years from 1982 to 1985 and the water level stabilizes at approximately 10 inches which results in a muddy, weedy, stinking mess that is too shallow to power a boat through. We were never compensated for our loss of lakeshore and yet these properties can never be sold as lakeshore again. At the 1982 watershed general information meetings the question of setting the lake level was raised. We were told the lake level would be established using the 100 year average rainfall factor but that the level could be adjusted at a later date if this caused any problems. Now I am told that it is impossible to adjust the lake level due to the location of the activities building at the beach. In 1982 1.2 million dollars was budgeted for this project and it was completed for $900,000. The dredging of the bay should have been included in this project when the money was available. I called several contractors and the average cost to dredge the bay was $90,000. $1.50 cu/yd to dredge only. $5.00 cu/yd to dredge, haul the material a maximum distance of 20 miles, and spread the material at the dump site. To dredge the bay to a depth of 36 inches the cost would be $5.00 X 17,500 cu/yd equals $87,500 plus permits = $90,000. (approximately $25,000 per acre of __ _.u'sable surface water. I requested the city council consider this project last year so it could be d6ne__this year in conjunction with the widening of county road 6 and the clover to 494 nrxt to Litton Pond (the watershed holding pond). It seems the appropriate place to dump the material from the bay would be Litton Pond. If you remove 17,500 cu/yd of material from the bay and place it in the watershed pond the overall capacity of the two should remain unchanged. The close proximity of the pond should help keep the material transportation cost down. CIM MAY 17'90 The Parkboard keeps referring to their five year budget. Why wasn't this part of the plan in 1982? In May of 1987 I discussed dredging with the DNR (refer to my request 427-107) and they seemed receptive to the idea. I also talked to the Assistant City Manager Sherm Goldberg but nothing was prop6sed as part of a five years plan at that time. There wonld_:be an obvious advantage to us as residents if the bay were dredged but I would think the city as a whole would benefit more from this project. You have.already spent so much money on the beach and park; yet the first thing everyone sees either visiting the park or driving bye is this eyesore. It is a community joke. It has been on television at least twice. This would be a one time investment of $90,000 to gain 3.6 acres of usable surface water for boating and fishing. I have never heard of a lake being too small and here is a chance to increase the usable lake size by 4%. Most people say this project will never be started because it makes too much sense. Everyone wins.- We get our lakeshore back and the residents of the city get a more aesthetically pleasing and usable park. I can only bring this situation to the councils attention. You, -_as council members have the power to -approve or deny the request to do this project. Please give this matter your serious consideration. If you have any questions or suggestions please cdhtact me. Sincerely Yours I RIA, Henry g Wille alle 1525 Juneau Lane Plymouth MN. 55441 CIM MAY 17 '90 May 8, 1989 Mayor Virgil Scheider City of Plymouth 3400 Plymouth Boulevard Plymouth MN. 55417 Regarding: Parkers Lake Bay on Juneau Lane Dear Mayor Virgil Scheider: My concern, as well as my neighbors and other residents of Plymouth, is what are the cities plans, if any, to clean up the Parkers Lake bay on Juneau Lane. The question was raised at the City Council meetings on the Parkers Lake Watershed as to what depth the lake would be set at. We were told the depth based on the hundred year rainfall w6uld leave us with ample water levels to enjoy the lake. Even in wet years the water is not deep enough to allow launching our boats without mucking about in the mud and it is obvious during dry years that we no longer have lakeshore. It appears the lake was leveled about three feet lower than it should have been. There are several solutions; all of which include dredging. The most expensive part of this operation is the removal of the dredged material. This seems to be a necessary expense. It should be noted that Bloomington dredged Penn Lake (84th and Penn) about twenty years ago and to my knowledge nothing , ever grew on the island they created with the dredged material. Assuming the city would be interested in dredging the bay; the removed material Gould be dumped into the current county road 6 project. The time required to dredge and remove the material should take approximately two weeks. The amount to be rmoved (assuming a three foot depth) would be 35,000 cubic yards at a cost.of approximately $50,000. The DNR has pictures of the bay on file but a permit would have to be applied for. This would be the opportune time to do this project with all the construction planned for this summer in this area. If this project is not done this summer I am afraid it will never -be done because it would not only be impractical but the cost would be prohibitive. The first thing people see ithen they jog or* go to the beach is this eyesores and I have heard many coBmtents to this affect. The city would gain, another seven acres of usable lake, the lake would-be more attractive. and_ as -residents we could once again use the lakeshore. Compared to the money already spent on the Parkers Lake and Watershend projects this is a minimal expenditure for what everyone would gain. This would be a win- win situation where the city, its residents, and the people who live on the lake win and there would be no losers. 014 MAY I tv Please answer this correspondence by May 22, 1989 with your intentions concerning this matter.

Willegalle: Your letter suggests that the City consider dredging Parker's Lake, particularly the bay on the northeast corner of the lake. You expressed concern about the existing lake water level. In 1980 the City installed an outlet from the lake to solve flooding which had become an annual problem. The elevation of the outlet was established through the Department of Natural Resources at the historic high water level which existed prior to urban development. The existing water level is at the outlet elevation. Lake levels throughout the state have been affected by the drought -like conditions we have experienced last year and this spring. The snow run-off and rain we have thus far received, have only restored the lake to the outlet elevation. I'm sure you have read about other area lakes which remain well below their normal water levels. You suggest that a dredging project be undertaken for Parker's Lake. The park component of the City's five year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) does not presently include a dredging project for Parker's Lake. Since this is the City's planning document for such public improvements, the project would have to be included here in order for construction to take place. You may wish to formally suggest the inclusion of a Parker's Lake dredging project in the CIP by attending the Park and Recreation Advisory Commission public hearing scheduled for Thursday, July 13 at 7:30 p.m. in the City Center Council Chambers. You should be aware of a few things: 1. Any dredging of the lake is likely to have both a general benefit to lake users,*but also a special benefit to those who live around the lake. Accordingly, a portion of the dredging cost would likely be specially assessed against the benefitting properties. CIM MINV 17'90 Mr. Henry Willegalle May 16, 1989 Page 2 2. The spoil dredged from the lake cannot be used for the County Road 6 project as it is unsuitable as subsoil for the roadway. I have shared your letter with members of the City Council. I have also supplied a copy to Park and Recreation Director Blank with the request that it be distributed with the agenda materials for the Park and Recreation Advisory Commission CIP Public Hearing. Thank you for sharing your suggestion with me. I hope you will pursue it by attending the upcoming public hearing.

Dear Eric Blank: I think it would be a shame to lose this opportunity to gain 5-7 acres of usable lake for a small investment. This area will be under construction for the beach tunnel, County Road 6, and the sound barriers. The area to be dredged is still dry and I believe the removed material could be used as fill could be used as fill on the road project. You can build all the paths, buildings, and improve landscaping but there are few oppurtunities to gain a 5% increase in lake size. There -is also the advantage of upgrading the overall appearance of the beach area. Imagine the additional area for fishing and boating. It is currently hard to get around in the bay area even with the water at normal levels. I would appreciate any support you could give to the success of this project. Thank you for your support. Henry Willegalle 1525 Juneau Lane Plymouth MN. 55441 CIM MAY 17 '90 z \sp MEMO CITY OF PLYMOUTH 3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD, PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447 DATE: September 11, 1989 TO: PRAC FROM: Eric J. Blank, Director of Parks and Recreation t9R SUBJECT: PARKERS LAKE DREDGING As per your request, I have met with Fred Moore, Director of Public Works, to discuss the dredging request of Parkers Lake. Mr. Moore informs me that the DNR is the official body which sets the normal water elevation on Parkers Lake. It is an extremely difficult process to attempt to have the water level adjusted by the DNR. You are aware that the City uses Parkers Lake as part of its master storm water retention program. Up to four feet of water is stored in the lake above the normal water elevation. If the normal elevation were to be raised, this could cause future flooding of property around the lake. This may include the Parkers Lake Pavilion, which has its floor set two feet above the ordinary high water level of the lake. Thus, the only way of practically getting water into the bay in the future would be by dredging this area. A suggestion was made that the dredging take place in conjunction with the County Road 6 project, so that the material could be used. Mr. Moore informs me that the material in the lake would not be suitable for any type of work associated with the County Road 6 project. Also the County Road 6 project will have excess material of its own which it will have to dispose of. Therefore, there does not appear to be any practical reason to attempt to tie the timing of the dredging of the lake to the construction of County Road 6. I have not attempted to get any quotations on the cost of dredging the lake, but I have no doubt that the quoted figure of $90,000 would be necessary to undertake a project of this magnitude. The questions the commission must answer then are: o Would the park "the public" benefit significantly by increasing the water acreage of Parkers Lake? o Given all the other priority needs for community playfields, trails, tennis courts, etc., what type of priority would you place on this project? I cannot justify a high priority for this item. It is something that could be done at any time in the future.

Dear Fred Moore: I feel this is the opportune time to upgrade the lake in the area of the bay on Juneau Lane as,my letter to the Mayor indicated. One thing I did not mention was the possible upgrading of the storm sewer on County Road 6 and West 'of Juneau Lane. I know the question has come up in the past concerning the possibility of a delta being formed from the end of the storm sewer outlet. This would be a good time to incorporate any storm sewer improvement at the time of the dredging.

'My main point is that there will never be a better time or a better oppurtunity with all the construction going on along County Road 6 as well as the sound barriesrs and the beach access tunnel bening built. If the city doesn't so something with the bay area at this time the questions will continue to come up. Some of these questions and concerns will be: . Is the storm sewer going to create a delta at the outlet? . How could the lake be expanded to produce more usable acreage of water surface? . Why was the water level set so low as a result of the Watershed project? . How far out do the lots run and how much of this land can the residents improve? I cannot believe that there are many park projects that can return more value for -the dollar per acre than this proposed project. I would -like a summary of the cost of the Watershed and the Parkers Lake Park projects including the landscaping and activities building so that I can do a cost evaluation in the event I would have to start petitioning.

I appreciate your interest and concern with respect to the low lake level at Parkers Lake. We share that concern. You asked four specific questions in your letter and I will answer them in the order in which you raised them. I. The storm sewer entering the northeasterly portion of the lake has and will continue to bring solid material which will form a delta. The city had the delta area cleaned out approximately 2 years ago and will continue to undertake that kind of maintenance periodically. This particular activity, however, does not contem- plate the type of dredging that I believe you may have in mind. Our work is strictly done for basic maintenance purposes. 2. The lake surface can be expanded by dredging it as you have suggested. This would obviously deepen out the areas which are currently dry, but which have periodically held water. Dredging activity within the lake bottom area would require a permit from the Department of Natural Resources (DNR). 3. The DNR established the ordinary high water (OHW) for Parkers Lake at 934.4 feet. The outlet which was constructed by the city several years ago was established at 934.0. Prior to the Instal- lation of our storm sewer, there was no storm drainage outlet for Parkers Lake other than through flooding. It was this flooding, which included closing a portion of I-494, which ultimately led to the construction of the storm drainage outlet to the lake. 4. The lots within your area were platted many years ago and were likely platted to the then existing water level. I am enclosing a copy of the plat for your area in order that you may become familiar with the' platting boundaries as they relate to your lake shore.

It is the only Schmidt Lake neighborhood group involved with lake issues such as:" --lake health,=safe use, -and related topics. A complete copy of the "By -Laws" is included with this newsletter to.further explain the Association's activities. Q. WHY DOESN'T THE ASSOCIATION:GET INVOLVED WITH AERATING THE LAKE?..-.-. A. The Association has discussed this in the past year. However, - the group has declined because of direct Association -liability for injuries, etc., which could result -from the aeration system. Q. IF SOME RESIDENTS TREAT THE LAKE TO KILL WEEDS, ETC., WHY SHOULD. THE ASSOCIATION ALSO GET INVOLVED? A. There are residents who hold permanent DNR permits to treat their lakeshore through professional lake management. The acreage amount which can be treated has not been fully used. Therefore, last year, the Association also began treating the common center lake area for weeds. Individuals who hold existing DNR permits pay those fees plus the the lake management companies' costs, as well as Lake Association membership dues. Q. W1DME DO THE MEMBERSHIP DUES GO? A. Over the past years, the primary expenditure has been toward copper sulfate algae -reducing treatments. Last summer, a fish - stocking program, and weed -reducing treatments were begun. Miscellaneous expenses also go toward Association printing and mailing costs. Detailed Treasurer's Reports are presented at full membership meetings, or may be obtained through the Association's Treasurer or Secretary. Q. WHAT IS THE BOARD PREPARING FOR THE SUMMER'90 MEETING?

During spring and summer, rapid growth from the root crown area produces reddish shoots that may reach the surface and flower in water from the shoreline out to a depth up,to 15 feet. Once established`in a lake, Eurasian water milfoil easily spreads by re=rooting itself from leaf fragments. The effects on lakes can be devastating by making it nearly impossible for boating and/or swimming. PREVENTING EURASIAN WATER MILFOIL FROM ENTERING THE LAKE IS OBVIOUSLY THE BEST APPROACH FOR DEALING WITH THIS SERIOUS LAKE THREAT. This dangerous plant has already been identified in Lake Minnetonka and in Medicine Lake. According to the DNR and similar national agencies, the first infestation for all lakes has been at the boat loading/unloading locations. TO PREVENT EURASIAN WATER MILFOIL FROM ENTERING SCHMIDT LAKE: • Remove all plant fragments from your boat, trailer, outboard motor/propeller, anchor, and live wells, before launching and after leaving any lake or, body of water. • Keep footwear and tire treads free of mud from infested areas.

Willis, City Manager FROM Bob Zitur, Council member SUBJECT. DARE PROGRAM & COMPLIMENT FOR CRAIG LINDMAN On election day, May 15, at Zachary Elementary School, I noted a DARE banner and the cooks wearing DARE shirts - it was quite a display. The principal commented to me that Officer Craig Lindman certainly had done a fine job presenting the DARE program at Zachary. What I was hearing from the principal was that in order for such a program to succeed, a special person such as Officer Lindman is needed.
