Adopted Council Minutes
Regular Meeting of July 12, 2005

spoken with the Watershed District, as well as with the Minnesota Department of Natural
Resources. He suggested that the existing weir stay in place until the new one is installed. He
stated he is concerned that the height of the existing dam is at the same height as the new one.
He explained there was a feeling that it was going to be lower, which could cause flooding
problems if there would be a 100 -year rainfall. He stated his last concern is the steel piling, and
the holes that exist. He stated he is concerned that the contract doesn't state that the contractor
has to plug the holes. This would no longer function as a weir as there would be water pouring
out of the holes. He suggested that the Council include these items in an addendum to the
contract.
Public Works Director Cote stated regarding the existing weir staying in place until the new one
is installed, this would be reviewed at the time of the bid award, and an addendum would be
issued if the consultant recommends it. He stated regarding the height issue of the dam, staff
would be surveying it to make sure that it's set at the correct height. Lastly, regarding plugging
the holes, there are requirements in the contract, but additional language could be included in the
bid documents.
Motion was made by Councilmember Black, and seconded by Councilmember Hewitt, to adopt a
Resolution Approving Plans and Specifications and Ordering Advertisement for Bids for
Boulder Ridge Pond Outlet Structure Project (4133 — Res2005-270) with the addition of
condition No. 3 that states, "staff is directed to investigate the staging of construction to
determine if the existing weir can remain during construction and if so, to prepare the bidding
documents accordingly. Additionally, strap holes are not to be allowed to remain below the weir
height set in the bidding documents after construction." With all members voting in favor, the
motion carried.
8.1) Preliminary Plat for "Executive Woodlands," for property located at 405, 415, and
425 Harbor Lane North (Executive Homesites LLC — 2005059)
Community Development Director Hurlburt reported on the request of Executive Homesites,
LLC for Preliminary Plat approval for a proposed subdivision consisting of 12 lots for property
located at 405, 415, and 425 Harbor Lane North. She explained the site currently consists of
6.19 acres and three lots, each with a single-family home. She stated the applicant would
remove all three existing homes and construct 12 new homes. She noted that there are two
wetland basins that impact the site, and the site is heavily wooded.
She stated there were a number of issues raised by residents at the Planning Commission's
hearing. One involved the City's policy for preserving open space and natural features. This
area is basically in the backyards of homes; therefore, it's not contained in the City's
Comprehensive Plan.
She stated another issue involved the delineation and reclassification of the wetland. She
explained the applicant submitted a wetland delineation report as required. The site was
reviewed, and the boundaries of the wetland were determined, consistent with the requirements
of the Wetlands Conservation Act. Based on those findings, the applicant's consultant submitted
a request to reclassify the northernmost wetland from medium`to low quality as provided for in
Adopted Council Minutes
Regular Meeting of July 12, 2005
Page 6 of 12
the Zoning Ordinance. Following the request, staff inspected the wetland site and found
characteristics consistent with a low quality wetland, including stagnant, highly fluctuating water
levels and lack of vegetation. Subsequently, staff formally reclassified the wetland to low
quality.
She stated another issue raised at the Planning Commission meeting was that the development
would exacerbate existing drainage problems. She stressed that the applicant is required to
provide documentation that the post development rate of run-off would not exceed the pre -
development rate. The applicant has stated that the proposed design of the storm water system
and pond would reduce the amount of water flowing west by 25%. In addition, staff has
included numerous conditions in the draft resolution for approval that require the final plans to
address drainage concerns and ensure that the project meets applicable City and watershed
requirements for water quantity and water quality. She noted that the site is being graded so that
the drainage from the streets is going to the water quality pond on the southeast part of the site.
She noted that comments were received regarding the size and cost of the homes and the history
of the developer and builder of the site. She stated that the City Attorney has provided an
opinion on these concerns, which is contained in the packet materials. She stated if the City is
being asked to approve a development application, such as a subdivision, Conditional Use
Permit, Variance, or changes in official controls, the application must be evaluated based upon
whether or not the application meets ordinance standards. The City isn't allowed to evaluate the
developer, only the specific application.
She stated the last issue raised involves the road pattern in the area. She explained that when 4th
Avenue was extended, there was a bump out that was constructed, rather than making Harbor
Lane a straight through street. She noted that 4th Avenue turns into a cul-de-sac. The question
was raised whether 4th Avenue should "T" into Harbor Lane, thereby making Harbor Lane a
straight through street. She stated realignment of this intersection wouldn't be occurring as part
of this development.
Councilmember Slavik asked if the wetlands weren't reclassified, how would it affect the
project. Community Development Director Hurlburt replied the wetland buffers would be
greater.
Deputy Mayor Bildsoe asked if the City ever considered this parcel for open space acquisition.
Community Development Director Hurlburt replied no, as this parcel is in the urban and
developed area of the City.
Daniel Shallbetter, 540 Glacier Lane North, stated if Harbor Lane were to be straightened, it
would affect the bus stop at
01
Avenue and Harbor Lane. He stated controlling the speed of
Harbor Lane is very important. He stated he was under the impression that this intersection was
going to be reconfigured due to this development, as he showed correspondence that he had
received on City letterhead to that effect.
Community Development Director Hurlburt denied that the City was responsible for this
correspondence, but rather someone copied the applicant's map on the back of the notification
Adopted Council Minutes
Regular Meeting of July 12, 2005
Page 7 of 12
that the City had sent, which was on City letterhead. Darrell Kvasager, Engineer with Executive
Homes, agreed and stated that they never sent any correspondence on this item.
Tanya Mueller, 505 Harbor Lane, spoke of their desire to preserve the open wooded space in
their neighborhood even though they realize that it's on private property. She stated they would
also prefer that the existing homes be sold and the property not subdivided. She stated there are
concerns regarding the traffic heading east on Gleason Lake Drive as well as the amount of
vehicles and speed of traffic on Harbor Lane. She stated at previous meetings and
correspondence sent to the City, they have voiced their concern regarding major water problems
in the area. She voiced her frustration with the applicant and contractors trespassing on their.
property. She stated some of their property was damaged due to soil borings. Lastly, she is
concerned about the water quality pond being constructed so close to the bus stop with no fence
around it.
Ruth Koran, 416 Kingsview Lane North, presented a petition to the City regarding their
opposition to this project. She voiced a number of concerns that included:
1. There was no indication to their neighborhood that this property was proposed for
redevelopment.
2. The building construction soil report should label this area as severely limited due to the
amount of water on the property.
3. Developer should retain water runoff on their own property at their own expense, and how
would the water runoff be addressed.
4. What are the ground level, square footage, and placement of footings for the new homes.
5. Developer should reconfigure the wetland on the north side of the property due to drainage
problems on the property.
6. Any trimming or removal of trees should be done in the fall for minimal impact to the trees'
roots and adjacent trees.
7. Discontinue the trespassing of the applicant and contractors on her property.
8. Reduce number of trees to be removed, which would assist in buffering the noise and traffic.
9. Headlights from vehicles would be shining on her home due to constructing a road on this
parcel that would face her property.
Skip Rosen, 425 Harbor Lane, stated he is one of the homeowners that would be selling their
property to the applicant. He stressed that this is private property, and the applicant has the right
to redevelop this property. He stated the water runoff that the previous residents spoke of is
coming from the north of all these properties. He indicated that according to the plan, the water
runoff would actually be decreased by 25%.
Daniel Dorland, 14530 Gleason Lake Drive, stated this development would be destroying the
beauty of Plymouth and relocating the numerous species of wildlife. He stated the construction
would also tear up the roads that were just recently resurfaced.
Betty Oberg, 400 Juneau Lane North, stated she would be impacted by this development on two
sides. Her main concern is the water drainage, with one of the wetlands being near her property.
She stated he is very concerned about additional water drainage impacting her property.
Adopted Council Minutes
Regular Meeting of July 12, 2005

Terry Rosen, 425 Harbor Lane North, stated they are selling their property for this
redevelopment. They have worked with the developer, and the wetland plans have been
modified. He stated this development would enhance the neighborhood and increase the
property values, rather than being a detriment. He stated there really isn't a problem with traffic
on Harbor Lane, but more with traffic on Gleason Lake Drive from Carlson Parkway.
Matt Dorland, 14530 Gleason Lake Drive, stated there is no need for million dollar homes in this
area, as there are already two expensive homes that have been for sale in the area for quite some
time. He understands that the property owner has a right to redevelop the property, but it's the
neighbors that would have to deal with the negative consequences.
Jeremy Dando, 14400 4th Avenue North, stated there is a lot of vehicles that travel 4th Avenue, as
they feel they are traveling down Harbor Lane. Therefore, it would make sense to straighten
Harbor Lane and improve this intersection. He requested that this be reconsidered, because if
traffic could be eliminated on 4th Avenue, it would make it safer for everyone.
Deputy Mayor Bildsoe requested staff to answer the questions that were raised by residents.
Regarding what authority the City has in approving and/or denying this project, property owners
rights, etc., City Attorney Knutson stated the City needs to judge the application based on the
ordinances. If the application meets the requirements of the ordinances, then the applicant is
entitled to approval. He added that the City isn't able to select applicants or judge their
character. He stated if the Final Plat is approved, there would be a development contract that
contains requirements that are recorded against the property and enforced. In addition, there are
security requirements to make sure the development agreement is carried out. He stated that the
building plans would be reviewed according to the Building Code.
Community Development Director Hurlburt addressed the concern that this development
complies with LA -1 according to the Comprehensive Plan. She explained the Comprehensive
Plan designates areas suitable for residential developments, and this area has been designated as
LA -1, low density. She stated the Comprehensive Plan doesn't indicate what areas are going to
be redeveloped, nor does the City initiate redevelopment projects. Deputy'Mayor Bildsoe added
the price of land dictates the prices of homes.
Community Development Director Hurlburt discussed how water runoff from the property
would be handled as well how the water quality pond in the southeast part of the property would
function. She stressed that the Watershed District would review the redevelopment plan after the
City has given initial approval. She stated that they have standards for drainage, grading, and
best practices. This pond would be part of the City's drainage system. Public Works Director
Cote discussed conditions 8 and 12 of the approving Resolution regarding the water quality pond
and drainage.
Community Development Director Hurlburt discussed how densities are calculated.
She'spoke of the tree trimming and removal process as well as how the trees on the property
Adopted Council Minutes
Regular Meeting of July 12, 2005
Page 9 of 12
borders would be protected.
She discussed the soil report contained in the packet materials and stated that this property is no
different than other sites who have faced challenges with soils.
Lastly, she stated that if there were any damage to the local streets from the developer, other than
normal wear and tear, there would be financial guarantees in place for that damage.
Mr. Kvasager spoke of the current drainage problems in the area. He explained the flow of water
from the north flows to the southeast portion of the site and to the west side of the property. He
mentioned the proposal that they presented to the neighbors to the west, whereby they would
install a drainage pipe to run along those lots and empty into an existing drainage system at
Juneau Lane. This would've improved the drainage for their properties. However, one of the
property owners stated that they wouldn't provide an easement for the pipe. He stated part of
this property drains to the west and part of it drains to the east. Staff suggested that the drainage
flow to the east to the new water quality pond, which they have incorporated as part of the
drainage plan. Lastly, he spoke of the configuration of drainage easements on the north side of
the property in order to preserve existing trees.
Councilmember Hewitt asked if all the homes would have gutters. Mr. Kvasager replied yes,
and the drainage from the gutters, sidewalks, and pavements would empty into the water quality
pond.
Councilmember Hewitt asked about restitution for damage to adjacent property owners'
properties. Community Development Director Hurlburt stated that if there is damage, that is a
private matter between the property owners. Staff has encouraged the applicant to contact
adjacent property owners to tag their trees.
Mr. Kvasager spoke of the requirement for them to obtain the elevations of the bottom floor of
adjacent homes, but they might not be able to receive permission from those property owners,
due to their reaction with this proposed redevelopment.
Councilmember Slavik commented that a property owner has a right to remove trees on their
property even if their neighbors don't support that.
Mr. Kvasager assured everyone that Ms. Oberg's drainage on her property would actually
decrease/improve.
Deputy Mayor Bildsoe requested the applicant to receive permission from adjacent property
owners before they go on their properties.
Tony Forelich, applicant, assured the Council that no encroachment would occur unless they
have permission. He spoke of his frustration in sending permission letters to adjacent property
owners after the Planning Commission hearing, and only receiving one reply.
Councilmember Black commented that it's impossible for the City to prepare homeowners for

redevelopment in their area that would be permissible according to the Zoning Ordinance. If the
application meets the City's requirements, the City would need to approve the plan.
Motion was made by Councilmember Black, and seconded by Councilmember Stein, to adopt a
Resolution Approving a Preliminary Plat for Executive Homesites, LLC. For "Executive
Woodlands," a Subdivision of 12 Lots for Single -Family Dwellings located at 405, 415, and 425
Harbor Lane North (2005059 — Res2005-271).
Councilmember Stein echoed Councilmember Black's above comments.
Councilmember Hewitt stated she sympathizes with the adjacent neighbors, but the application
meets all the City's requirements. She stated staff would make every effort to make sure the
drainage flows correctly in this area.
Councilmember Slavik stated that since there is no reguiding or rezoning on this site, the City
has no leverage in this case. She reiterated that a property owner has rights to redevelop their
property if it follows the City's requirements, and they also have a right to remove trees. She
stated she is hopeful that the drainage situation improves in this area as she realizes that the
adjacent homes have experienced water problems. She stated if these new homes don't sell, the
prices would need to be lowered, and the economy would dictate that. She also reiterated that
the City wouldn't be realigning the Harbor Lane/4a' Avenue intersection as part of this
development.
Deputy Mayor Bildsoe stated that he would be supporting this motion. He noted that there are
other similar large properties in the City that would also be redeveloping in the future. He noted
that the City has strict standards for redevelopment, so it's not easy for developers to redevelop
property.
There being no further discussion and with all members voting in favor, the motion carried.
The Council took a 10 -minute break.
8.2) Interim Ordinance Temporarily Prohibiting Development Applications and All
Zoning and Subdivision Approvals on Cottonwood Lane South of Highway 55 (2005080)
Community Development Director Hurlburt reported on Interim Ordinance prohibiting building
permits, development applications, pre -application sketch reviews, and all zoning and
subdivision approvals on properties on both sides of the dead-end section of Cottonwood Lane
south of Highway 55. She noted previous and recent Sketch Plans that have been submitted for
this area, and she stated that further study of this area needs to be undertaken, while considering
an amendment to the City's Comprehensive Plan.
Motion was made by Councilmember Stein, and seconded by Councilmember Black, to adopt an
Interim Ordinance Temporarily Prohibiting the Issuance of Subdivision Approval and Zoning
Approvals in a Designated Area South of Trunk Highway 55 on Both Sides of Cottonwood Lane
Ord2005-17). With all members voting in favor, the motion carried.

8.3) Consultant Contract for Comprehensive Plan Update — Land Use Plan for Northwest
Plymouth
Community Development Director Hurlburt discussed the proposed contract with Resource
Strategies Corporation for assistance in updating the Land Use Plan for Northwest Plymouth.
Motion was made by Deputy Mayor Bildsoe, and seconded by Councilmember Hewitt, to adopt
a Resolution Authorizing Staff to Negotiate a Contract for Consultant Assistance on the
Comprehensive Plan Update (2005050 — Res2005-272). With all members voting in favor, the
motion carried.
8.4) Dates for Initial Public Meetings, Land Use Plan for Northwest Plymouth
Motion was made by Deputy Myor Bildsoe, and seconded by Councilmember Slavik, to
schedule public meetings (non -official Planning Commission and City Council Meetings) on
September 15 September 20, October 24, and October 26 for the Land Use Plan for Northwest
Plymouth. With all members voting in favor, the motion carried.
8.05) Award Contract for City Project No. 4144
Deputy Mayor Bildsoe stated he is concerned about the base bid for this project that includes a
combination of directional drilling under the wetland and open cut on each side of the wetland.
He noted that an alternate bid for directional boring the entire length was submitted; however,
that would add $33,600 to the construction cost. He realizes that directional boring costs more,
but he's concerned about the trees.
Public Works Director Cote stated under either technique, there would be 20' wide clearing of
trees. In addition, there is sanitary sewer line that crosses under the waterline, and by
excavating, the contractor would be able to avoid it. He noted the plan doesn't include
reforestation; however, due to the natural area, it should repair itself naturally in two. years.
Motion was made by Deputy Mqyor Bildsoe, and seconded by Councilmember Black, to adopt a
Resolution Awarding Bid for Trunk Watermain Extension for Vicksburg Lane to Dunkirk Lane
4144 — Res2005-273). With all members voting in favor, the motion carried.
