Many of you may recall that after two years of study, the City Council adopted a new comprehensive plan in July of last year. The new plan reaches out 20 years into the future and talks about a wide variety of issues for the City of Plymouth. In the portion of the plan dealing with parks, open space, and trails, the Northwest Greenway concept was developed. The basic concept of the Greenway .is to lay out a long, natural corridor connecting to the Hennepin Parks Regional trail on the east end to a looping trail around the Elm Creek Basin on the west end. For the last few months, the consulting firm of SRF has been working with staff and the Park Commission to further develop and refine the concept plan of the Northwest Greenway. I have enclosed for your information (on the other side of this letter) figure 8.12 from the City's comprehensive plan, which lays out the Northwest Greenway concept. One note of caution — this is a long term plan which may extend 20 years or more toward completion. The City generally works with willing landowners who are interested in preservation of open space as you make the long term decisions for your individual property. I look forward to meeting with you on October 2nd and hearing your thoughts regarding the Northwest Greenway.

I have complain numerous time about the noise which begins any where from Gam to 6:45an everyday sometimes the noise is not so bad its just heavy equipment being moved into the area on a noisy rocky road and other time its pounding, truck backing up, cement trucks delivering cement, workers, etc.!!!! But let me,tell you I don't need an alarm to getup at lam to go to work any longer!!!! This also includes weekends. Here are some of my dates; the week of 8/27/01 1 made 3 911 calls, 9/4/01 another 911 call, I then called Ginny Black who I have spoken to many of times and she has been very helpful, on 9/5/01 Giany along with two Plymouth Police Officers came to my house at 6:15am and stood in my back yard to observer them starting to work well before lam. The three of them walked back there and spoke with someone and warned them; on 9111/011 once again called 911; another officer came out to site them but the works said they were not present before so the office was unable to site them. Now 1 have made my last 911 call on 9/14101. I am sick and tired of this!!!! I have called 911, Ginny Black, Planning, Engineering anyone who I felt could help and I have to continue to call 911 so 1 can sleepM? Your people approved this project now its time for your people to do something for the tax payers; l have done what was asked of me but how many times must i call 911 to get something done? As far as I know there hasn't even been a fine to this contractor. I am trying to be patient. I am also wondering what time they can start on weekends because they started on Sunday 919/01 about 6:55am and were so loud it was unreal: I would like to let you know I have no problems with the roadwork they don't start till after lam and don't work weekends. Please address this matter. Sincerely, :. 61 4 Ave No Plymouth, MN 55442 1161VV..

Dear Mr. Bestul: This letter is to confirm our conversation which took place yesterday concerning the hours of operation by construction personnel relative to development of the Gramercy Park apartment project. As discussed, the Plymouth Police Department has responded to three separate incidents whereby construction personnel have engaged in construction activities outside the regulated hours of 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. as provided for in Section 2025.05 Subd. 4 of the Plymouth City Code (enclosed). In all three incidents, construction workers began work prior to 7:00 a.m., and were advised each time by our police officers that construction was not to occur on the site prior to 7:00 a.m. Our office has now received yet another complaint concerning early morning equipment noise from the construction site. As a result of this most recent complaint, I have requested that our Police Department take immediate and lawful action against any personnel who engage in or permit construction, maintenance and repair activities involving the use of any kind of electric, diesel or gas -powered motor vehicles, machine or any other power equipment from the site outside the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. PLYMOUTH A Beau t fulPlace'To Live 3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD • PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447-1482 • TELEPHONE (763) 509-5000 ®x > .•�« www.d.plymouth.mmus I would strongly encourage you to inform your company employees, subcontractors and others who are associated with the construction and development of this project of the need to refrain from any construction on the site until after 7:00 a.m. daily.

The City of Plymouth recently adopted new comprehensive plans which included new trail plans for the community. In this latest plan revision, we have included an off— road trail along Nathan Lane northerly to the frontage road and then westerly along the frontage road, all the way over to West Medicine Lake Drive. Each year the City sets aside funding to develop new trails throughout the community.' Early next year, the Park and Recreation Advisory Commission will make recommendations to the City Council on which trail extensions should be considered for the 2002 construction season. I will pass along your letter to both the Park and Recreation Advisory Commission and the City Council. If you have any further questions on this issue, please do not hesitate to give me a call at 763- 509-5241. Thank you for your time and interest in this matter.

The study, which was authorized by the 2001 legislature, will be completed in two phases. Phase I will gather informa- tion regarding existing inclusionary housing programs from around the country, with an emphasis on finan- cial information such as the cost of construction and monthly rents. MHFA has hired Jim Salem, former regional administrator for the Metro- politan Council, to conduct Phase I, which is scheduled to be completed by October 1. During Phase ll, MHFA will bring to- gether a work group of interested parties to review the information gathered during Phase I and to de- velop recommendations for the state's consideration. AMM will be part of this work group, and will keep you informed as the study progresses. M kodation of Metropolitan municipalitio The 2001 legislature authorized the establishment of a 14 -member Leg- islative Commission on the Metro- politan Council. The Commission will review the Council's budget, plans and programs and make recommen- dations to the Legislature regarding the budget and plans, as well as ap- pointments to the Metropolitan Coun- cil. The leadership of each legisla- tive caucus was authorized to ap- point members to the Commission. To date only the House and Senate majorities have made their appoint- ments. Speaker Sviggum has ap- pointed Representatives Jerry Dempsey (Hastings), Ray'Vandeveer (Forest Lake), Mark Buesgens (Jor- dan), and Mary Liz Holberg (Lakeville). Senator Moe has appointed Senators Don Betzold (Fridley), Myron Orfield (Minneapolis), Leonard Price (Woodbury) and Ann Rest (New Hope). We are still awaiting announcements from the House and Senate minorities, which have three appointments each. AMM and LMC Brief City Miall Reporters AMM and the League of Minnesota Cities (LMC) have sponsored a se- ries of media sessions regarding the impact of the omnibus tax bill on city budgets. Approximately fifty report- ers attended the briefings and re- ceived copies of a power point pre- sentation regarding the 2001 omni- bus tax bill, a list of frequently asked questions and their answers and sev- eral computer print outs related to aid amounts and levies. Most of these documents are available online at www.imnc.org. If you have any questions or would like a similar briefing, please contact Gary Carlson at LMC or Gene Ranieri at AMM.

Johnson, City Manager SUBJECT: Minnetonka annual organizational performance survey Attached is an annual organizational performance comparison survey conducted by the City of Minnetonka. They have been kind enough to share the results with us and our particular rankings as a City. I have circled the Plymouth score on each page. It appears that our overall score is a relatively close second to Minnetonka. Some Council members may recall that Plymouth and Minnetonka have traded places several times between first and second over the last several years. We were first before the adoption of our new, tiered water rates a year ago. The survey shows that Plymouth is first or second in three of the nine categories, including the important categories of bond rating, overall taxes and value of city services. Our lowest rated category is the water/sewer rate on 15,000 gallons of water usage where we finished 1 Vh among 23 cities. Surveys of this kind have many limitations and we would not encourage placing any undue emphasis on it. Some would add or omit categories, and others would want a weighting system. Also, we are unable to verify some of the numbers for Plymouth and how they were calculated. Still, since surveys of this type are not done very often among cities in this area, it may have some interest.
