6. MEC ANNUAL LEGISLATIVE DINNER MEETING -- The annual
legislative meeting of the MLC has been tentatively set.
for Wednesday, January 30 at the Decathlon Club. This is
the meeting at which all our legislators are invited to
join with us to discuss our legislative policies, goals,
and objectives. With the recent election outcome, I
expect that the suburban voice will have a better
opportunity to be heard at the state level, if only
through the Governor's office. While that may have been
wishful thinking on my part, I believe it is fair to
conclude that the legislators will have to give more
attention to seeking accommodation with the minority
party if it seeks to pass major legislation dealing with
fiscal matters. You may wish to mark this tentative
meeting date on your calendar for planning purposes. As
soon as it has been confirmed, I will advise you.
7. MEETING CALENDARS -- November and December meeting
calendars are attached. The December calendar has been
revised to show the change in meetings dates for the
Planning Commission, and the cancellation of the December
13 Park and Recreation Advisory Committee meeting.
(M-7)
FOR YOUR INFORMATION.....
1. PLYMOUTH COMMUNITY LIBRARY -- Attached is an article
which appeared in the Wednesday issue of the Star
Tribune. Councilmembers Helliwell and Ricker attended
the County Board meeting at which this item was
discussed. It is my understanding that the resolution
adopted by the County Board provides that the City will
be obligated to provide a library site. To my
understanding, this is a new "wrinkle" and one which
could create problems for the community. The site which
appears to be most favorable to the Library Board is the
one at Highway 55 and Vicksburg Lane. This is a five
acre tract of land owned by Mr. Cavanaugh. Earlier this
year I was told by a private developer that Mr. Cavanaugh
was asking $10 per foot for this property. If the City
is going to be expected to acquire a two acre portion of
this property for a library, I am confident that we can
expect to see a very high acquisition cost. I have not
seen a copy of the resolution adopted by the County Board
and it may in itself further explain and/or modify what
appears in the newspaper article. (I-1)

Plymouth finally getting library
as County'Board approves plan
It looks as if Plymouth will finallyget communities and says that figure is he thinks the council will approve
a library, more than 20 years after growing as western Plymouth is de- donating the land, which Jude said
residents thought one was on the veloped. cuts the county's cost by $400,000.
way. Several other communities have
Hennepin County commissioners
voted Tuesday to put a county li-
brary in Plymouth, with ground-
breaking set for next year if the city
donates a site.
The $2.5 million proposal was insert-
ed in the county's 1991 budget after
lobbying by Commissioner Tad Jude,
who represents most of Plymouth.
The city, with 50,579 residents, is the
largest in the county without its own
library.
In 1969, the Plymouth City Council
offered to supply a site and the coun-
ty accepted the offer. But nothing
happened.
The city estimates that about 15,000
residents live outside the 3 -mile ser-
vice radius of libraries in neighboring
The city also says library figures
show that Plymouth residents are the
fourth -highest library users in the
county.
The county Library Board, in a five-
year plan adopted last year, asked the
County Board to open a Plymouth
library in 1992. But those plans
seemed threatened when the county's
capital budgeting task force proposed
that work on the project not begin
until after 1995.
The task force had said a proposed
county jail would push up property
taxes and urged that dozens of coun-
ty building projects be delayed.
The Library Board has proposed lo-
cating the library at Hwy. 55 and
Vicksburg Lane, near City Hall. City
Council Member Lloyd Ricker said
made similar donations to get librar-
ies.
Jude prevailed partly because the
project won't affect property taxes in
1991, with bonds paid from property
taxes in subsequent years.
Meanwhile, the County Board adopt-
ed a series of amendments that
trimmed $5.5 million from the pro-
posed 1991 levy of $339 million.
Those cuts would allow the tax to
rise 12.4 percent.
Further amendments will be debated
at 1:30 p.m. today at the Govern-
ment Center.

Minutes of the Park and Recreation Advisory Commission Meeting
November 8, 1990
Page 48
Present: Chair Freels, Commissioners Anderson, Hanson, Beach and Waage; staff
Blank, Pederson, and Peterson
Absent: Commissioner Rosen
1. CALL TO ORDER
Chair Freels called the November meeting to order at 7 p.m. in the Council
Chambers.
2. APPROVAL OF MINUTES
A motion was made by Commissioner Anderson and seconded by Commissioner
Waage to approve the minutes of the October meeting as presented. The
motion carried with all ayes.
3. VISITOR PRESENTATIONS
a. Athletic Associations. None were present.
b. Staff. Mark Peterson, Superintendent of Parks, presented the
Commission with a map showing winter trails that will be maintained.
He explained that 29-30 miles of trails will be plowed this winter,
which is three miles more than last winter, and 10 miles more than the
winter of '88-89. He stated that the City purchased a special
sidewalk plow that is narrower than the blade on a pickup truck, which
makes plowing the trails a more efficient operation. He explained
that additional winter maintenance for the parks crew involves plowing
City owned parking lots, building maintenance at Parkers Lake
Pavilion, and the flooding and maintenance of City ice rinks. Two new
rinks will be operational this winter, one at Swan Lake Park and one
at Turtle Lake Park. Rinks at Olive Pond and Lions Park will be
removed from the maintenance schedule, because they are both close to
other rinks where warming houses are located. Rink flooding will
begin around the end of November, with rinks ready for skaters by mid-
December. Rinks on ponds and lakes usually take longer, because crews
will not take equipment on the ice until it is at least eight inches
thick for- safety purposes. Mark stated that a winter maintenance
manual has been assembled for maintenance employees,.which explains in
detail what's to be done in each park. Mark also explained the
projects that were completed this past summer by the Twin Cities Tree
Trust, a group comprised of low income teens and adults. Some of the
the projects done by them for the City of Plymouth included a keystone
retaining wall in Plymouth Creek Park and in the Parkers Lake
Cemetery, and replacing the old wooden timbers surrounding the play
equipment at the East Beach and Mission Hills Park with new recycled
plastic timbers.
C. Others. None.

4. REPORT ON PAST COUNCIL ACTION
a. Council approved the list of ice rinks to be maintained during the 90-
91 winter season.
5. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
a. Proposed trail on County Road 6 from Fernbrook to Juneau Lane. This
item was tabled at the October meeting in order to give each
commissioner a chance to visit the site. All commissioners present
agreed that the trail was necessary after observing the speed of
traffic on County Road 6 and witnessing pedestrians and bikers using
the road.
Henry Willegalle, 1525 Juneau Lane, stated that he did not agree with
staff on the location of this segment of trail. He thinks the people
north of County 6 will come down Niagara Lane to get to the park, and
those who choose to use Fernbrook should be routed down to the Luce
Line and then over to the park. He also explained that it is
difficult for him to envision the trail system completely in place by
just looking at it on a map, and it's hard to understand how all the
different segments will fit together in the end, when it's being
constructed in pieces. Director Blank tried to explain to Mr.
Willegalle that the trail along County 6, when it is all completed,
will start at Oakwood Elementary (on the north side of 6) and go east
to the Parkers Lake Park tunnel at Co. 6 & Niagara, where it will then
cross to the south side of 6, continue along the park boundary to
Juneau and then go on to Fernbrook. Mr. Willegalle stated that it did
not personally matter to him where the trail is placed, but he does
feel that the residents on 6 have given up a lot of their property for
the widening of the road, and regardless of where the trail goes,
someone will be unhappy.
A MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER HANSON AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER
WAAGE TO RECOMMEND THE CONSTRUCTION OF TRAIL ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF
COUNTY ROAD 6 BETWEEN FERNBROOK AND JUNEAU LANE AS PROPOSED IN THE
COMPREHENSIVE TRAIL SYSTEM PLAN. THE MOTION CARRIED WITH ALL AYES.
b. Proposal to build ice rink. Robert Furst and Andy Benson, 462
Williams St., Excelsior, presented their proposal to the Commission to
build an indoor ice arena on the site proposed for the community
center arena. This item was tabled at the October meeting, because
these two gentlemen couldn't be present that evening. Director Blank
stated that this item has been forwarded to the Financial Task Force
for their review. Mr. Benson indicated that the proposed arena would
be Olympic size (there are no Olympic size arenas in the metropolitan
area at this time), and that he and Mr. Furst would come up with the
funds to build it, with the understanding that the City would buy the
building once it is constructed and be responsible for the costs of
maintenance. They would operate and manage it the first two years at
no cost to the City. If the operating costs exceeded the revenues,
Mr. Benson and Furst would cover those losses. If, on the other hand,
revenues exceeded expenses, they would get those profits.
CIM NOV 15'90
November 1990 PRAC Minutes
Page 50
Chair Freels commented that as a business man, he believes the
construction of an ice arena of this magnitude would be a great risk
to these private individuals and he questioned why they were willing
to take such a risk? Mr. Furst responded that they are confident it
would be a successful venture for both the City and themselves and
that after conducting research with different skating clubs, they are
positive enough use would be generated to make a profit or at least
break even. He went on to say that at this point, they aren't
interested in making a profit, they just want to build an ice arena.
Mr. Furst also commented that if PRAC had been willing to include an
ice arena in their community center plans, these same risks had to be
considered and how was this proposal any different than that?
Commissioner Beach asked which skating clubs they had talked to, and
Mr. Benson said that he had spoken with the Edina Figure Skating Club,
and the Minnetonka Figure Skating Club. He also said that the Olympic
Skating Committee had contacted him about their proposal to build an
arena in Plymouth. Commissioner Beach said she believed the
Minneapolis Figure Skating Club was looking for a "home" arena, and
Mr. Benson might want to contact them, as well.
Several commissioners questioned how the arena would be managed in
terms of who would assign the ice time and how those decisions would
be made, such as what hours hockey clubs would get for practice and
when the general public would be allowed to skate and how much groups
would be charged. Director Blank responded that the management of the
ice arena and fees haven't been discussed at this point, because this
is only a proposal. Mr. Furst said that an example scenario would be
to assign ice time to hockey groups based on the percentage of
Plymouth children involved. He also indicated that about ten hours a
week would be set aside for "open" skating. He further stated that he
had talked with the Wayzata Hockey Association, and they would be
willing to contribute some of the funds needed to build the arena, if
they could be guaranteed 1/6 of the ice time.
Chair Freels asked each commissioner for his/her comments on the
proposal to build an indoor ice arena on the site set aside for the
community center's arena.
Commissioner Hanson commented that she believes there is a need for
indoor ice, but she isn't sure about the project being built by
private individuals who would later turn it over to the City to run.
She feels the City should have more control at the beginning of the
project and remain involved throughout, and she's also concerned about
the future of the community center if an ice arena is constructed
alone.
Commissioner Anderson feels the whole proposal is too vague, and he is
also concerned about the City's commitment to buy the building once it
is constructed. What happens if it fails? What would the City do
with the building?
Commissioner Waage questioned how Plymouth residents would view the
project? Would they see it as a private ice arena and have trouble
cm NOV 15'90
• November 1990 PRAC Minutes
Page 51
connecting it to the City, and as a result of that, not use it? She
also feels it's somewhat a moot issue; since the Council is the body
who will decide if it will be,built, not the Park Commission.
Commissioner Beach was concerned with how ice time would be assigned
what fees would be charged to groups and single individuals, and would
the construction of this building compromise the community center?
Chair Freels stated that he could not endorse this proposal or
recommend it to the City Council, because he feels it is such an
enormous risk on the part of Mr. Benson and Mr. Furst, and he doesn't
believe the City should get involved with a private venture like this.
Director Blank reminded the commissioners that their first task at
this point in the process is to decide if there is a real need in
Plymouth for indoor ice. It is up to the Financial Task Force and the
Council to decide how it will be funded.
A MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER BEACH AND SECONDED BY CHAIR FREELS
TO INFORM THE CITY COUNCIL THAT PRAC BELIEVES THERE IS A NEED FOR
INDOOR ICE IN PLYMOUTH, THAT AN INDOOR ARENA SHOULD BE INTEGRATED INTO
THE COMMUNITY CENTER CONCEPT, AND THAT PRAC DESIRES MORE DIRECTION
FROM THE CITY COUNCIL ON WHAT TO DO WITH THIS PROPOSAL. THE MOTION
CARRIED WITH ALL AYES.
C. SRecial facilities - comprehensive plan - continue discussion.
Director Blank distributed some information on national golf and pool
standards. Discussion on this item will continue at the next meeting.
d. 1990 project reRort. Swan Lake Neighborhood park is finished except
for dormant seeding in some areas, trails on 46th Avenue and West
Medicine Lake Drive are also complete.
6. NEW BUSINESS
a. New plats. There were no new plats.
7. COMMISSION PRESENTATION
Chair Freels stated that he will be out of town on December 13 and could
the PRAC meeting be changed to another night, or cancelled for December.
It was decided to meet on a "need to meet" basis.
8. STAFF COMMUNICATION
Director Blank indicated that the 1990 Annual Report draft copy would be
available for PRAC's review at their January meeting, with the final copy
needing approval at the February meeting.
9. ADJOURNMENT
The meeting adjourned at 8:45 p.m.

Chairman Plufka introduced Mr. Greg Frank representing the
petitioner.
Mr. Frank stated that he was in agreement with the October
12, Staff Report.
Coordinator Dillerud reviewed the October 12, 1990 Staff
Report for Greenwalt Development, Inc. for "Bass Lake
Plaza 5th Addition" regarding the Site Plan, Zoning
Ordinance Variances and Final Plat to construct "The
Wholesale Club". Coordinator Dillerud also showed some
slides of the Fridley Wholesale Club to show the
Commissioners how brick and some berming enhanced the
design of the Fridley site substantiating his
recommendation for use of these items on the Plymouth
site.
Commissioner Marofsky commented that he felt the pallet
storage area constituted outside storage and would require
a Conditional Use Permit.
Chairman Plufka asked how the storm water from a parking
area of this size would be handled.
City Engineer Faulkner stated that there on storm water
holding basins on the site.
Mr. Frank indicated the locations of the ponding areas on
the site and stated that the storm sewer is already in
place along 56th Avenue North.
Chairman Plufka requested that Mr. Frank discuss the
deferred parking plan for the site.
Mr. Frank stated that the deferred parking plan would
allow landscape enhancements. He indicated how the creek
water on the site would be routed through pipe if the
deferred parking was not approved. This method of routing
the creek water through pipe has been approved by the DNR
and the City of Plymouth.
Mr. Frank stated that the design of this site could be
accomplished similar to the Fridley site. He said he
agreed with Condition 10 of the Staff Report and would
redesign the south and west area with evergreen trees 15
foot on center with staff review of the Landscape Plan.
Mr. Frank compared the parking variance request with other
sites "such as Cub Foods, Target and Holiday Stores who
have 6 parking spaces per 1,000 square feet of floor area.
He stated that The Wholesale Club would install additional
structure parking if it became necessary, but past
experience has shown that additional parking -should not be
needed.

Mr. Frank introduced Mr. Douglas Harden, the architect for
The Wholesale Club.
Mr. Harden showed the Commissioners some pictures of other
sites which contained 35 percent brick intermixed with the
concrete finish of the building. He proposed using the 35
percent formula for the exterior of the building in,
Plymouth. He also stated that the landscaping will comply
with the recommendations of the Staff Report.
Chairman Plufka asked if all the inventory is stored on
the floor display area of the building.
Mr. Harden stated that some inventory is stored away from
the display area but that the majority of inventory is in
the display area of the store.
Commissioner Pierce asked what hours the loading dock was
used to receive new inventory.
Mr. Harden stated that most deliveries are completed by
Noon each day.
Commissioner Marofsky asked why the loading area was not
placed on the east side of the building in the design of
the site.
Mr. Harden stated that the main entrance to the building
is on the east side and that it does not work from an
operational standpoint to have both the main entrance and
the loading area on the same side of the building.
Chairman Plufka opened the Public Hearings for both 5.A.
and 5.B.
Chairman Plufka introduced Mr. Robert Hammar of 5465
Orleans.
Mr. Hammar asked what the proposed density of the housing
area to be located at the westerly area of the site would
be if rezoned.
Coordinator Dillerud stated that the density for R-3 would
be approximately 7 units per acre. He said this is lower
than the current density on the present General
Development Plan.
Mr. Frank stated that there are no plans for this area at
the present time. He said that until a developer is
interested in this site it will remain an outlot.
Chairman Plufka introduced Mr. Allen Ruhestein of 5505
Orleans Lane.

Mr. Ruhestein stated that he represented the Cardinal
Ridge Homeowners Association and that their concern was
the R-3 rezoning district and whether the units would be
rental units. 4
Chairman Plufka responded that there is no developer
currently interested in the site and that the question
would have to wait until a developer was interested in the
site. He stated that property owners within 500 feet of
the development would be notified of a Public Hearing once
an application was received.
Mr. Ruhestein asked what the hours of the Wholesale Club
would �be; what the truck loading hours would be; and
whether truck traffic would use Nathan Lane and County
Road 10.

likely use Nathan Lane and County Road 10 since they are
the thoroughfare streets in the area.

Communications
Chairman:
Chairman Enck reported that he had had a communication dated September 21 from the Minnesota
Pollution Control Agency regarding the environmental impact upon a sanitary sewer in Plymouth.
Counsel:
1. Mr. Pearson reported that Resolution 2 (1990) modifying the engineering plans for the
Markwood/Edgewood Projects in the City of Crystal had been signed and sent to Colonel Baldwin
of the Corps of Engineers.
2. Mr. Pearson had prepared Resolution 3 (1990) requesting the United States Army Corps of
Engineers to extend the completion date of the Bassett Creek Project to the fiscal year 1994.
This had basically been adopted at the September 20 meeting. Mr. Monk had called MnDOT and
had found that federal and state funding is committed in 1994 to upgrade Highway 100 in the
Bassett Creek area. This will save all the jurisdictions a substantial amount of money if all the
projects can be coordinated. It was moved by Mr. Monk and seconded by Mr. Gustafson that
Resolution 3 (1990) be approved. Carried unanimously. (Resolution is part of official
minutes.)

3. Mr. Pearson stated that he had nothing to report on the Golden Valley Country Club structure
locations at this time.
4. Mr. Pearson reported that he had considerable communication with Mr. Kremer and the planning
people from the City of Minneapolis regarding the Glenwood -Inglewood proposed construction.
Commissioners:
1. Mr. Silberman had had a letter in connection with the Westwood Road crossing and had promised
that he will let the writer know when the project will be discussed. Mr. Lowell Odland of Golden
Valley suggested that we should forward current information to the Corps and ask them to review
it and see if they could modify their plan. Mr. Enck said this could be put on the January agenda.
2. Mr. Monk informed the Commission that the Crystal City Council had formally approved the
Markwood/Edgewood project. Final plans are being drawn up by the Corps. Hennepin County has
asked them to hold off for awhile. The pipe will go in August 1. It is a 1991 project right now.
3. Mr. Rye is a designated representative from Bassett Creek on the Rules Advisory Committee of
the Board of Soil and Water Resources. Mr. Rye briefed the Commission on the planning of this
committee. They will hold four meetings between now and March. The first meeting will be held
November 1. There are between 35 and 40 people on the committee. Mr. Moore is also on the
committee. Mr. Kremer distributed a copy of the planned activities. Mr. Rye's function will be
to monitor the progress and to represent the Commission. Mr. Kremer explained that there also
is an association of watershed districts in the State of Minnesota. The association is going to look
at the rule development process and they feel they should have some input into the process. He
asked if we should consider joining this association. It was pointed out that our interests are not
necessarily the same as watershed districts. It was asked whether we should promote an
association with some of the other metropolitan WMO's. Mr. Monk said it will be critical when
we see the draft of the Rules Advisory Committee. Their statutory deadline is in July. It was
also stated that there are going to be some changes in the law proposed this year.
Other:
1. Mr. Schevenius had indicated by letter that General Mills is concerned about restrictions
concerning construction in the flood fringe as they have a substantial amount of land in the flood
fringe area. He suggested that the Commission consider how they will handle this. The plan as it
stands is quite general. This will be discussed later as three representatives of Glenwood -
Inglewood are in attendance to discuss their request. Mr. Kannankutty said that Minneapolis will
require Glenwood -Inglewood to get a conditional use permit. The process would take until
January. Mr. Pearson said we may need a committee to work on how we want to control or
restrict construction in the flood plain.
2. Mary Gwin-Lenth was in attendance. She expressed particular interest in Northwood Lake and
the riprap project. That area was discussed briefly. It was explained that there is a
requirement that there be compensatory storage. A letter was sent to the City and to the
consulting firm Mr. Kremer explained that it had also been discussed with the consulting firm.
The Commission will be responding to the letter.
Ms. Gwin-tenth discussed briefly the structure of the League of Women Voters. There are three
levels of the League which are involved. A questionnaire has been sent out which the City of
Minneapolis is going through it at the present time. Chairman Enck said this will be an agenda
item at a future meeting (Status of the League of Women Voters Survey).

k,
Engineer:
1. Mr. Kremer had had a communication from General Hatch which had included a pamphlet. Some
changes in the water resources development policies are being made. A meeting of the groups
who have Corps approved projects will be held on December 10-12. Mr. Kremer will send
information on the meeting to any of the Commissioners who are interested.
2. Mr. Kremer had had a meeting with the DNR. Two articles have been published recently
regarding the grant received. One was in the Post newspapers and the other in the Skyway News.
3. Mr. Kremer had sent a letter to the PCA requesting a modification of the contract at Medicine
Lake - asking them to include a study in the grant program to see if the ponding areas in the
immediate watershed of Medicine Lake could be retrofitted.
4. Mr. Spychalla of the Corps of Engineers and Mr. Kremer had toured the construction project last
week and talked about some of the things the contractor was encountering such as large pieces of
old foundations, some of them being about 8 feet thick. There have been some minor problems
with groundwater. The contractor is making good progress.
5. Mr. Kremer had had a meeting with the City of Crystal and the Corps design staff. It was asked
what the progress was regarding appraisals. The next one will be Theodore Wirth and the Soo
Line easement. Mr. Monk needs to get six parcels approved in Crystal. He will work with the
Corps and follow their procedures. Mr. Pearson said he will meet with Mr. Monk. There was
some discussion as to our choice for an appraiser. Mr. Howard Lawrence was mentioned. Mr.
Monk and Mr. Pearson will meet with him.
New Business (None)
Old Business
1. Glenwood Inglewood request. Representatives were Mr. John Pope of Pope and Associates, Mr.
Jack Caldwell of Glenwood -Inglewood, and Mr. Don Shroden of D. J. Kranz. A brief review of the
background was given by Mr. Caldwell. Glenwood -Inglewood is requesting a permit to construct
a large addition in the flood plain. The Commission had deferred the matter and requested that
they work with the City of Minneapolis, Mr. Kremer, and Mr. Pearson. Mr. Perry Thorvick and
Mr. Ed Virnig had met with Mr. Kremer and Mr. Pearson. Minneapolis has provision in their
zoning ordinance which could permit the building under certain conditions. The Minneapolis
ordinance calls for FP1 or FP2 and Glenwood -Inglewood has proposed FP4. It would have to be
processed as a conditional use permit. It was stated that if the Commission were to act at this
time, the following conditions should be included:
1. A hold harmless, clause.
2. A permit from the PCA for the pumped stormwater from the parking lot.
3. Proposal for meeting water quality requirements for parking lot discharge.
Mr. Kremer has been in contact with Pope and Associates and they said an F1 or F2 construction
would not be possible. The model ordinance of the State of Minnesota does not have F3 or F4. The
ordinances require a variance procedure to use F3 or F4. The City may have to get a concurrence
from the State of Minnesota to permit an F3 or F4 construction.
Discussion: This is a commercial industrial facility. Mr. Enck expressed concern about our
setting a precedent. Mr. Caldwell said that the Glenwood Inglewood facility is 106 years old. It
has no place to move. They desperately need the building. The soil is extremely soft. They will
try to keep the building at a zero stress level. He said they have to comply with the Minneapolis
ordinance and asked if they could satisfy the City of Minneapolis, could they get Commission
approval now? It was asked when they were looking at occupancy. Mr. Caldwell said they would
have liked to have started earlier but are looking at March now.
4
After the representatives left, there was discussion. Mr. Enck appointed Messrs. Kannankutty,
Silberman and Gustafson to work with Mr. Pearson and Mr. Kremer on this subject. Mr. Odland
will work with the group also.
Mr. Kremer asked if we should respond to Glenwood -Inglewood on this issue at this time. Mr.
Kannankutty said there will be a hearing in the middle of December. Minneapolis might like to
have representation from the Commission staff at this hearing. Mr. Kannankutty suggested that
the Commission take some action In November as the Planning Commission may rely heavily on
Commission recommendations.
2. Floodproofing of Golden Valley homes. At the October meeting, the Commission had discussed a
letter from the Mayor of Golden Valley about the floodproofing of homes. The history of the
floodproofing plans was reviewed. Twenty-four homes had been involved. At the present time it
would cost about $450,000 to do the floodproofing. Two of the homeowners have done their own
floodproofing. The Corps of Engineers had scuttled the floodproofing plans because of insufficient
incremental justification. In the 1987 storm, 8-10 of the homes were flooded. It was suggested
that we ask the Corps to review the situation. Mr. Monk expressed concern about Corps planning
as he still feels that the project in Crystal was overdone. It was asked if there were any grants
that could be given to homeowners to do their own floodproofing. Mr. Silberman asked that the
Commission request the Corps to reconsider their floodproofing decision and that Golden Valley
explore having it done privately. Seconded by Mr. Monk. Carried unanimously.
3. The request for the Jancik residence storage building which was tabled at the September meeting
was brought up for discussion. This was a request to construct a storage building for
lawnmowers, rakes, etc. No hazardous waste would be stored. The building will be constructed
on 2x8" floor joists at 12 inch O.C. Floor joists will be bolted to four 6x6" corner posts to
prohibit the structure from floating; corner posts will be encased in concrete. A ramp will be
built for building access. A long discussion followed. It was suggested that the request be tabled
again. It was also suggested that the hold harmless clause be used. A Commissioner expressed
that he was philosophically opposed to a hold harmless clause because it seems objectionable.
After further discussion, it was moved by Mr. Moore and seconded by Mr. Gustafson that the
request be denied. Carried unanimously.
Miscellaneous:
The December meeting will also be a holiday dinner meeting and will be planned by Mr. Pearson and
Ms. Anderson.
Adjournment
Since there was no further business, it was moved by Mr. OToole and seconded by Mr. Kannankutty
that the meeting adjourn. Chairman Enck adjourned the meeting at 1:35 P.M.

SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR STOP SIGN AT
SARATOGA LANE AND SCHMIDT LAKE ROAD
Dear Mr. Monaco:
As you requested, I am enclosing a copy of the City's Policy Concerning
Requests For Stop Sign Installation which was recently passed by the City
Council on September 10, 1990. As you indicated, you feel there will be a
need for an "All Way" stop at the intersection of Saratoga Lane and Schmidt
Lake Road due to the newly open portion of Schmidt Lake Road from Saratoga
Lane to Zachary Lane.
As I indicated,, this intersection does not currently meet the criteria set
forth in the Minnesota Manual of Uniform Traffic Devices and I would,
therefore, recommend against the installation of an "All Way" stop at this
intersection. As the Stop Sign Policy indicates, residents do have the
opportunity to bring their request before the City Council for
consideration.
You also expressed concern about traffic coming off Schmidt Lake Road into
your residential area not knowing there is no outlet. I have requested the
City Street Superintendent, Tom Vetsch, to put a "No Outlet" sign on
Saratoga Lane immediately south of Schmidt Lake Road.
You also expressed concern about the large number of children in your
neighborhood area who will not be able to safely use Schmidt Lake Road with
it being marked for four lanes of traffic. You indicated that a trail or
sidewalk along Schmidt Lake Road would best meet the needs of walkers,
joggers and bicyclists. It is not the -City's policy to routinely construct
trails adjacent to City streets unless there is a designated trail as part
of the City's Overall Trail System Plan. Since there is not a designated
trail along Schmidt Lake Road, I suggested you take your request for a

Resolution No. 90-583
September 10, 1990
(Supersedes Res. No. 82-590, dated November 1, 1982; Res. No.
81-389, dated June 22, 1981)
The City Council is granted the authority to approve or .deny
requests for stop signs at intersections within the City.
The City Council is aware that because of the emotional situation
often surrounding such requests, it is sometimes difficult to
analyze the request using rational criteria.
To enhance the Council's ability to use rational criteria in
evaluating stop sign requests and minimize the proliferation of
signage, except where required, the following guidelines are
adopted:
1. All stop sign requests are to be directed to the Engineering
Division.
2. The City Engineer will evaluate each request using the State
Uniform Traffic Warrant Criteria. A stop sign may be
required at an intersection where one or more of the
following conditions exist:
a. The intersection of a less important road with the main
road where application of the normal right-of-way rule is
unduly hazardous.
b. A street enters a through highway or street.
C. Unsignalized intersections in an otherwise signalized
area.
d. other intersections where combination of high speed,
restricted view, and serious accident record indicates a
need for control by the stop sign. (Further information
about stop sign criteria is available in the Minnesota
Manual of Uniform Traffic Devices.)
3. If the intersection meets the criteria set forth in the
Minnesota Manual. of Uniform Traffic Devices, the City
Engineer will request City Council approval of a resolution
authorizing stop sign installation.
4. If the signs do not meet the criteria, the City Engineer will
respond to the requesting party providing the reasons why the
signs are not recommended.
11
CIM NOV 15'90
5. Residents will be advised that they have an opportunity to
bring their request before the City Council for consideration
if they are not satisfied ' with the CityEngineer's
recommendation. The request shall be in the form of a
petition with signatures of 70 percent of the residents whose
property lies within a 500 foot radius from the intersecting
street center lines.

Dear Mr. Bergman:
I am interested in helping as a volunteer with the Plymouth Parks and
Recreation Department.
I am a Michigan State University graduate in Environmental Education and
worked as an Education Coordinator at the Kalamazoo Nature Center
(Kalamazoo, Michigan) from 1964 to 1980.
As a Kalamazoo County Commissioner (1978-1980) I was the liason with the
Parks Department. Since 1980 I have been in marketing within the
agricultural seed industry and am presently Director of Communications for
Northrup King Company in Golden Valley.
Our two children (ages 6 and 8) and my Cub Scout Den use the Plymouth
Parks and Henepin County Parks very frequently. I would like to see if
there is some way I can make a small contribution back to this fine park
system.
Sincerely,
Marvin A. Black

Re: Eurasian Water Milfoil in Medicine Lake
Dear Mr. Sak:
OM q&
I thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak with
you on November 9, 1990 regarding our Lake Association's
recent discovery and treatment of Eurasian water milfoil in
Medicine Lake. As you know, we hired applicator, Lake
Management, Inc. to apply the 2-4-D systemic herbicide to the
infested areas of Medicine Lake last summer at a cost of
$2,375.00. It is my understanding that the Minnesota
Department of Natural Resources has agreed to pay $1,700.00
of that bill directly to Lake Management, Inc.
I would like to accept, and thank you for, that generous
offer. I will be approaching the cities of Medicine Lake and
Plymouth, together with Hennepin Parks to discuss the
possibility of dividing the remaining portion of that bill -
.$675.00 between them equally.
It is my understanding that your department will be in
further contact with me before next spring to discuss and
develop a Eurasian water milfoil treatment program for next
summer.

TO ALL ELECTION JUDGES:
Enclosed is your check for serving as a judge for the General
Election.
The voter turnout in Plymouth far exceeded the 49% predicted by
the Secretary of State's office. We had 24,005 votes cast on
election day, or 68 percent of the registered voters. There were
also 2,779 new registrations. I
Despite the challenges of having two optical scan ballots, a
third supplemental paper ballot, a large number of write-ins, the
"sticker situation", and hand -counting, the election process went
surprisingly well. I received many compliments from voters that
their polling place was well organized and that the judges were
helpful and friendly. Thank you!!
The chairpersons deserve special thanks for their attendance at
additional training sessions prior to the election, and their
fine work in training and administering the election in each
precinct.
We completed all counting at 3:00 a.m. This was four to six
hours earlier than some of the surrounding communities. This was
largely due to the decision to run the gray ballots through the
tabulator during the day, rather than wait to run all ballots
through after 8:00 p.m.
Good work in meeting the challenges of this year's election -
I appreciate your efforts!
Sincerely,
Laurie Rauenhorst
City Clerk

SUBJECT: GAUGHAN COMPANIES APPEAL
Dear Bob:
CIN OF
PLYMOUTFF
Thank you for chairing the meeting this morning concerning the Gaughan
Companies appeal. We appreciate the opportunity to present our position on an
issue we consider extremely important.
We are obviously concerned with the question of life safety and multiple
housing. We also appreciate the financial implications for the Gaughan
Companies; but, we do not believe that monetary considerations outweigh the
life safety considerations.
Please convey our appreciation to the other members of the Board. We look
forward to hearing the results of your next meeting in December. If we can be
of any further assistance, please feel free to contact us at any time.

MEMO TO: David Landswerk
FROM: Frank Winzenburg
DATE: November 13, 1990
SUBJECT: HIGH SCHOOL BUS STOP
I have the following reply to the Jim Willis letter relating to Mr. John Starr's
inquiry of the high school pick up near his home.
When establishing bus stops for students we recognize a different safety need for
elementary than for secondary students. That being the case we try to locate the
elementary stops in locations that offer more protection enroute to the stop or
at the stop.
On the other hand, when establishing a high school stop there is an assumption
that high school students can exercise a greater responsibility in walking
further to a bus stop. In the case of the high school stop at 35th Avenue and
Fernbrook Lane we felt that the Starr children and Sara Ephardt, who lives at
14140 35th Avenue, can both walk approximately 200 feet to a consolidated stop
at 35th Avenue and Fernbrook Lane. That location offers safety from passing
traffic.
A map is attached showing the location of the stop in relationship to the
residences. I think the map shows this to be a reasonable distance for a
sophomore and a senior to walk.
