FOR YOUR INFORMATION.....
1. CHARTER COMMISSION -- Monday evening the Charter
Commission received reports from its several
subcommittees dealing with specific sections of the
proposed City charter. Committee members are reviewing
charters of several other cities, as well as a draft
working document prepared by Mr. Kennedy. The various
committees will be meeting during the balance of this
month and are to report to the full Commission at their
meeting of April 13 with regard to proposed language. It
is anticipated that the Commission will start to vote at
that meeting on various provisions of a draft charter.
The draft charter will be further reviewed when it is
completed to ensure that it continues to meet the
expectations of the members.
The Charter Commission has indicated it would like to
meet with the City Council, as well as other interested
citizens on Tuesday, May 12. The purpose of that meeting
would be to receive any comment that Council or staff
members may wish to make on the draft. Once the
Commission has received those comments, it will
presumably complete its work on the Charter drafting
process and thereafter present it more formally to the
public in a series of public meetings. Those meetings
would likely take place during the summer months in
anticipation of a vote on a proposed charter in November.
2. DISTRICT 281 GOVERNMENT ADVISORY COUNCIL MEETING --
Wednesday morning, Councilmember Edson and I attended the
Robbinsdale Superintendent's Government Advisory Council
meeting.
Among the issues we discussed were the School Liaison
Program, scheduling of district facilities for
recreational use, and the continuing budgetary problems
confronting the district. With respect to the School
Liaison Program, it appears that the district and the
cities involved are moving forward with the expansion of
the program, particularly as it relates to Plymouth. The

district is eager to have meetings' -with the school
liaison and police representatives of each community
within the district's territory in order that the scope
of the program can be fully understood by each of the
police agencies. Bob Cameron of the district will be
coordinating that effort.
With regard to scheduling of district facilities for
recreational use, the Crystal Park and Recreation
Department noted some concerns. Caroll Vomhof of the
District Community Education Department indicates that he
is currently working with park and recreation
departments, as well as -school principals and coaches to
make improvements on the scheduling. Superintendent
Carter indicated it was her view that school facilities
belong to all the taxpayers of the district and should be
utilized to the fullest extent feasible.

Legislative conference brings city officials together
Will the state raid the local government trust fund to balance its budget?
Will the Dyrstad Commission on Local and State Government Relation's findings affect the way cities do
business?
Will the Legislature place a constitutional amendment on the ballot for transportation funding?
Find out about these and other important issues affecting cities at the 1992 Legislative conference on March
24, 1992 at the St. Paul Radisson Hotel.
The message to legislators this year, is "DON'T BUST THE TRUST. " We need to work together to communi-
cate this important message to all legislators.
There is strength in numbers, so come to St. Paul to attend the
Legislative Conference and Capitol rally. Help protect the trust
and tell legislators about the important services cities
provide.

Dear Tree City USA Mayor:

Congratulations on being named a Tree City USA for 1991! You can be proud of your
accomplishments in managing your community forest resource and the national recognition you
deserve.
To properly recognize your community's achievements, the Department of Natural
Resources in cooperation with the Minnesota Shade Tree Advisory Committee will be holding a
Tree City USA Awards Luncheon on Saturday, March 28, 1992 from Noon to 2:00 p.m. (see
enclosed brochure). This Awards Luncheon will be a part of the 1st Minnesota Urban Forest
Workshop entitled "Building Partnerships for Community Trees". This workshop has been
designed to provide you and other community leaders with important information to help you
better manage your community's trees.
The cost of_the entire workshop including the Awards Luncheon is only $10.00. I hope that
you will be able to send several community representatives to share in your community's
recognition as well as the workshop sessions.
Registration for the workshop should be sent directly to the University of Minnesota (see
address in brochure). If you have any questions concerning the workshop or the Awards Luncheon,
please contact Mr. Jonathan E. Stiegler, Community Forestry Programs Specialist at 612-297-3507.
I look forward to seeing you at the awards luncheon.
Sincerely,
eral�AI.Rosse

The Honorable Kim Bergman
Mayor of the City of Plymouth
3400 Plymouth Blvd.
Plymouth, MN 55446
Dear Mayor Bergman:
Congratulations to Plymouth on being named as a
1991 Tree City USA!
`�y
:• � `Vi.z••.
We know trees for the beauty they lend to our
homes, neighborhoods, parks and business areas, and
their contribution to increased property values. At
the same time, trees cool our cities,.fight pollution,
conserve energy, and give wildlife a home. But if
we're to have trees in abundance in our towns and
cities, they must be planted and given proper care.
The Tree City USA award indicates that you take
Your municipal tree -care responsibilities seriously.
An effective tree -care program is an ongoing
process of growth and renewal --a program of planting
and care that continues through the years. As a Tree
City USA, you have a solid foundation for that process
of improvement.
Tree City USA is sponsored in cooperation with the
National Association of State Foresters. State
foresters are responsible for the presentation of the
Tree City USA flag and other materials. We will
forward your awards to Jonathan E. Stiegler in your
state forester's office. They will be coordinating the
presentation with you. It would be especially
appropriate to make the Tree City USA award a part of
your -Arbor Day ceremony.
Again, congratulations on receiving this national
recognition for your tree -care program.
Best regards,
John Rosenow

Chairman Stulberg introduced the Capital Improvement
Program for 1992-1996 and introduced Public Works Director
Fred Moore.
Director Moore reviewed the proposed Capital Improvement
Program for 1992-1996. Park and Recreation Director Eric
Blank reviewed the portion of the CIP related to City
parks.
Director Blank presented an Amended CIP for the Park
Element. The purchase of the Forster land was included in
the last adopted CIP for 1991. When the proposed CIP was
prepared it was anticipataed that the purchase would be
completed before 1992, therefor it was not included. The
revised CIP included the purchase of the Forster land for
1992 and deletes the Plymouth Creek tennis courts.
Also to build a fund balance for possible future land
acquisition the following additional changes are made:
- 1993 - Delete West Medicine Lake Park
- 1993 - Delete Ridgemont Park Shelter
- 1994 - Delete West Medicine Lake Park
- 1994 - Delete Plymouth Creek Pond dredging
- 1995 - Add Northwest Neighborhood Park development
Chairman Stulberg questioned Director Blank about the
Forster land for a park and asked if this portion of the
CIP would be tabled if the Planning Commission did not
recommend the purchase. He asked City Manager Willis to
explain how this would be handled. City Manager Willis
stated the approval of the acquisition should be
independent of the approval of the CIP.
Commissioner Wigley asked Director Blank to explain how
much money would be needed for acquisitions in the future.
Director Blank explained the procedures used for past
acquisitions and the future expenditures needed to support
the program.
Chairman Stulberg opened the Public Hearing.
Chairman Stulberg introduced Ms. Pat Ujifusa of 1315
Harbor Lane.
Ms. Ujifusa stated she is concerned about Fernbrook Lane
crossing the Luce Line Trail. She said she prefers the
dead end streets and quiet neighborhoods in the area and
that there is not a need for the Fernbrook Lane extension
since County Road 6 was completed.
Planning Commission Minutes—Scv
February 26, 1992
Page 20
Chairman Stulberg introduced Ms. Alice Williams of 14325-
12th Avenue North.
Ms. Williams stated that it would not be safe to complete
Fernbrook Lane and it is not needed. She said there are
other north/south roads already complete such as Vicksburg
Lane, portions of Fernbrook Lane, I-494 and Xenium Lane
which move -the traffic out of the neighborhoods. She said
the Planning Commission previously recommended that
Fernbrook Lane not be completed, the neighborhood is
against it, and they she would like this issue resolved as
soon as possible, one way or the other.
Chairman Stulberg introduced Paul Vincent of 12800 -34th
Avenue North.
Mr. Vincent stated he would like to see curb cuts on east
side of Xenium Lane at 34th and 37th Avenue to allow the
public access for bikes and baby carriages to the park
trail. He said he would like to see Xenium Lane extended
to Northwest Boulevard but would also like to see it
connected to Vinewood Lane. He said he would like to see
a stoplight installed at 34th Avenue and Xenium Lane
because of the heavy traffic, and would like his proposals
done in 1992, if it is practical.
Chairman Stulberg introduced Mr. Richard Schmidt of 14310-
13th Avenue North.
Mr. Schmidt stated that he wished property owners had been
notified of the Public Hearing on the CIP.* He said that a
previous Planning Commission recommendation of the
Fernbrook Lane extension was to not extend it. He said he
thought the City Council had agreed with the Planning
Commission recommendation.
Chairman Stulberg explained that the City Council did not
act on the Planning Commission's recommendation to amend
the Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan by
removing Fernbrook Lane from the Plan.
Commissioner Zylla asked if the Harbor Woods development
had been approved.
Associate Planner Keho stated that the Preliminary Plat
has been. approved, and staff recently received the
application for the Final Plat.
Director Moore stated that City Council approval of the
Harbor Woods Preliminary Plat and General Development Plan
stated that the right-of-way be granted for Fernbrook
Lane.

Page 21
Chairman Stulberg introduced Mr. Rick Sathre of Sathre-
Bergquist.
Mr. Sathre stated he was representing Carlson Companies
regarding the Harbor Woods development at Fernbrook Lane.
He stated that Carlson Companies preference is that
Fernbrook Lane not go through. He said Carlson Company
would like to see a final decision made on the Fernbrook
Lane issue with regard to the Transportation Plan.
Commissioner Zylla asked if the previous Council
discussion of the Fernbrook Lane issue during the Harbor
Woods application approval triggered the action to move
the Fernbrook Lane street project up on the CIP from 1994
to 1992.
Director Moore responded that the Carlson Company proposal
for the Harbor Woods development is the reason the
completion of Fernbrook Lane has been slated for 1992.' He
said that when development occurs it affects when streets
need to be developed.
Chairman Stulberg introduced Mr. Skip Rosen of 425 Harbor
Lane.
Mr. Rosen stated that the additional traffic which will be
generated from the new proposed development in the area
shows a need for the Fernbrook Lane connection, otherwise
the traffic would be using Harbor Lane. He said he would
like to see the street construction on the original
alignment.
Chairman Stulberg introduced Mr. John Richter of 1205
Fernbrook Lane.
Mr. Richter stated he lives north of the Luce Line Trail.
He stated that he is in agreement with ideas stated by Ms.
Williams. He said he questions who wants this Fernbrook
Lane extension; not the neighborhood, not the developer,
just City staff.
Chairman Stulberg introduced Mr. Mike Pflaum of Lundgren
Bros. Construction Company.
Mr. Pflaum stated that they will be the builder in the
Harbor. Woods development. and that the neighborhood and
Carlson Company both prefer that Fernbrook Lane not be
completed and he is in agreement with their opinion.
Chairman Stulberg introduced Mr. Peter Pflaum of Lundgren
Bros. Construction.
Mr. Pflaum stated that he's worked with other cities who
have changed their Thoroughfare Guide Plans because of
Planning Commission Minutes
February 26, 1992
Page 22
developments and neighborhoods which did not want the
major thoroughfares in their neighborhoods.
Chairman Stulberg introduced Mr. Steve4Offerman of 1135
Fernbrook Lane.
Mr. Offerman stated he lives just north of Luce Line;
stated the roadway is not needed, and he doesn't want to
have to pay for it. Mr. Offerman said he does not
understand why staff continues to recommend the completion
of Fernbrook Lane when no one wants it. He said he would
like decision made on this issue soon, preferably to not
complete Fernbrook Lane.
Chairman Stulberg introduced Mr. Rick Murray of Builders
Development, Inc.
Mr. Murray stated he wanted the Northwest 19 Sewer
District service available as soon as possible.
Chairman Stulberg introduced Mr. Tom Loucks representing
the Craig Scherber Development.
Mr. Loucks stated that the Scherber development was
recently approved by the City Council and they would like
the extension of the watermain for Dunkirk Lane from
County Road 9 to County Road 24 done in 1992 rather than
1993 as proposed and Dunkirk Lane added to the program for
1992.
Chairman Stulberg introduced Mr. William Pritchard of
Orrin Thompson Homes.
Mr. Pritchard stated he would like to see the Dunkirk Lane
improvements moved up to 1992 from 1993.
Chairman Stulberg introduced Ms. Bev Kottas of 3380
Sycamore Lane.
Ms. Kottas stated that she was representing Heritage
Estates Homeowners Association.,
Ms. Kottas stated that the Homeowners Association would
like to see traffic signals at both 34th and 37th Avenue
and Northwest Boulevard. She said she had talked to the
County about installing traffic lights and they said there
were no plans for installing them. She also indicated that
the Homeowners Association would like curb cuts on the
east side of Northwest Boulevard at 34th and 37th Avenue
North for bikes, baby carriages and walkway.
Ms. Kottas stated that the Homeowners Association would
like to see Xenium Lane connected to Northwest Boulevard
but that this connection would increase the problems of

exiting from 34th and 37th Avenue North onto Northwest
Boulevard. She explained that if Vinewood Lane was
extended to Xenium Lane it would relieve some of the
traffic at 34th Avenue North. She said she realized that
there has been no development proposed along Vinewood Lane
which would warrant its completion but wondered if the
City would look at this possibility and possibly be able
to complete it with the land owners consent.
Commissioner Wigley asked Ms. Kottas to explain the
Vinewood Lane extension she was proposing.
Ms. Kottas indicated her suggestion on a map shown on the
overhead projection screen.
Chairman Stulberg introduced Mr. Jim Hartman of 1140
Harbor Lane.
Mr. Hartman stated that he was in agreement with others
who spoke regarding his opinion that Fernbrook Lane is not
needed and not wanted. He said that City staff are the
only ones who wants Fernbrook Lane extended. He said he
did not feel City staff are serving the community's best
interests with this proposal. He said he thought City
staff would notify the property owners in this area when
the discussion of Fernbrook Lane came up.
Chairman Stulberg introduced Ms. Bonnie Friedmeyer of
14425 -13th Avenue North.
Ms. Friedmeyer stated she lived north of the Luce Line and
she did not see a benefit for the extension of Fernbrook
Lane.
Chairman Stulberg introduced Mr. Jeremy Wilson-Dandos of
14400 -4th Avenue North.
Mr. Wilson-Dandos stated he was speaking as a
representative of the Harbor Place Homeowners Association,
and they do not want Fernbrook Lane extended. He said the
Fernbrook Lane extension would be a safety hazard, and no
one wants this extension.
Chairman Stulberg recognized Mr. Peter Pflaum who spoke
earlier.
Mr. Pflaum stated he would like to see the Northwest 19
District Sewer moved up to 1992.
Chairman Stulberg introduced Ms. Susan Green of 700 Harbor
Lane.
Ms. Green asked who would pay for the special assessments
to construct Fernbrook Lane.

February 26, 1992
Page 24
Chairman Stulberg recognized Ms. Bev Kottas who spoke
earlier.
Ms. Kottas stated that she was speaking now as a
developer. She asked when the traffic signal at Fernbrook
Lane and Harbor Lane would be installed since it is not
indicated on the CIP.
Chairman Stulberg introduced Mr. Larry Wood of 1125
Fernbrook Lane.
Mr. Wood stated that property owners were not notified of
this Public Hearing. He said he would like to know who
will be assessed for the street extension. He said he
would like to have a final decision made on the Fernbrook
Lane issue.
Mr. Wood stated that signs that had been posted for
jogging and bicycle trails on the Luce Line Trail have
disappeared.
Chairman Stulberg responded that the Public Hearing Notice
for the Capital Improvement Program 1992-1996 was
published in the Official City Newspaper as required by
State Law. He said that the CIP affects every property
owner in the City and therefore individual property owners
are not sent individual notices.
City Manager Willis stated that City's Thoroughfare Guide
Plan was adopted in 1971 and 72. He said the Carlson
Company proposal for Harbor Woods has brought the
Fernbrook Lane roadway extension to the forefront, from
the previous anticipated time of 1994. He said the
Thoroughfare Guide Plan will need to be amended by the
City Council and if this amendment is approved it will
also need to be approved by the Metropolitan Council. Mr.
Willis stated that the Metropolitan Council does not want
to see metropolitan highways overburdened with local
traffic.
He stated that City Council options are to amend the
Thoroughfare Guide Plan and to have Fernbrook Lane end in
a cul-de-sac with emergency access; construct Fernbrook
Lane as shown in the Guide Plan; or temporarily end the
street in a cul-de-sac with it extended at some time in
the future. He' said that if the street remains in the
1992 CIP, then the adjacent property owners would be
notified and a Public Hearing would be held for the street
improvement project.
Chairman Stulberg closed the Public Hearing.
Chairman Stulberg asked Director Moore to respond to the
questions raised during the Public Hearing by citizens.

Director Moore stated that assessments for the Fernbrook
Lane project will be assessed.to those who have driveways
with access onto Fernbrook Lane, and part of the street
assessments will be assessed to Lundgren Bros.
Construction for the new homes to be developed on the
Harbor Woods site. The assessment would be in accordance
with the City Council Assessment Policy.
Director Moore stated that signal lights would be
installed at Harbor Lane and Fernbrook Lane once
development moves forward and are a part of the project
proposed for 1992.
Director Moore stated that the curb cuts requested along
Northwest Boulevard need not be part of the CIP and if
done would be a part of,the trail improvements for the
City. The need is being addressed in a pedestrian traffic
study which is presently underway by the City.
Commissioner Wigley asked if the curb cuts along Northwest
Boulevard could be done by the City.
Director Moore responded that since Northwest Boulevard is
a County road, the City must have County approval for the
curb cuts.
Chairman Stulberg asked Director Blank to respond to the
question about Parkers Lake trail signs which are missing.
Director Blank stated he did not know any signs were
missing but he would look into it.
Director Moore stated that he would have to look into the
feasibility of moving up the Northwest Trunk Sewer for
District NW 19. He explained that there are other
improvements needed and must go in along with sanitary
sewer, such as streets.
Director Moore stated that Dunkirk Lane cannot be
developed until the City installs the sewer and water
improvements, and that the Scherber development is a small
part of this street. He said there would be a problem of
who would pay for the remainder of Dunkirk Lane, as these
costs are assessed to the land owners. Director Moore
stated that the Scherber development was not before the
City when.the CIP was being developed.
Director Moore stated that there has not been any
development proposed by property owners along the Xenium
Lane extension. He explained that when the Northwest
Business Campus was developed the Transportation Plan was
updated to support the projected traffic by this
development, and the connection of Xenium Lane to
Northwest Boulevard is proposed once final development

February 26, 1992
Page 26
occurs to handle the traffic. He said that a Vinewood
Lane connection across County Road 9 would not be able to
handle all the traffic from the retail dev.elopment and the
Northwest Business Campus.
Director Moore stated that it has not been determined yet
as to whether Zachary Lane will be reconstructed as a 4
lane street. He said that future development will
determine whether a 4 lane street is needed. He said
current traffic projections indicate the need for a 4 lane
street.
Director Moore stated that when the Carlson Companies plat
was approved by the City Council the Fernbrook Lane
extension was moved to the west of existing Harbor Lane.
He said that the plan is for Fernbrook Lane to distribute
traffic in several directions to eliminate congestion in
the area, especially at the intersection of Harbor
Lane/Gleason Lake Road/Carlson Parkway.
Commissioner Wigley asked Director Moore to discuss how
assessments regarding Xenium Lane and Vinewood Lane matter
would be handled. He stated that is seemed funds would
bottom out in 1994/95 and there could be problems
financing public improvements.
Director Moore responded that there are different funds
available for street improvements such as special
assessments. If the special assessment funds do not cover
the entire project in accordance with the City Assessment
Policy then other funds need to be looked for. He stated
that tax increment financing could come from the Northwest
Business Campus because that business will generate a
majority of the traffic on Northwest Boulevard and Xenium
Lane. He said that if the street is constructed prior to
development right-of-ways must be purchased.
Director Moore stated that all of the right-of-ways needed,
for the Carlson development will be provided by the
developer.
City Manager Willis explained tax increment funding
stating that the availability of funds expire in different
years but that additional tax increment funds and other
revenue funds are available as well. He stated that the
Commission is only seeing a portion of the revenue stream.
Commissioner Wigley questioned the decrease in all the
funds available, and asked if maybe the City was too
aggressive in their plans for future development in the
City.
City Manager Willis responded that the CIP is responsive
to occurring development or anticipated development within

the City, and if land is to be developed, the public
utilities and streets need to be installed prior to the
development.
Commissioner Wigley stated that he felt the Planning
Commission was in placed in a tenuous position when items
are switched around on the CIP.
Chairman Stulberg suggested that the Commission begin the
recommendation process on the CIP by beginning with
discussion/or motions regarding proposed Buildings.
MOTION by Commissioner Zylla, seconded by Chairman MOTION TO APPROVE
Stulberg to recommend approval of the Capital Improvement
Plan 1992-1996.
Commissioner Wigley asked Director Moore to discuss the
need for the new Public Safety Building and the remodeling
of present building.
Director Moore responded that even when the new Public
Safety addition is completed the present City Center
building still will not have the adequate space to support
the projected needs for a 20 year period without the
expansion. The City Council had a study completed to
determine the needs.
Commissioner Wigley stated that he felt that if you expand
space you fill it up; with the City this may be with
people.
MOTION by Commissioner Wigley to recommend approval to MOTION TO AMEND
remodel the existing building but to deny the expansion of
the existing building.
There was no second to the motion. MOTION died for lack MOTION DIED FOR LACK OF

MOTION by Commissioner Wigley, seconded by Commissioner MOTION TO AMEND
Scherer to recommend . that a plan be prepared for
remodeling of the existing building only.
Commissioner Zylla -stated that the Planning Commission is
not a position to make a decision for or against most of
the issues addressed in the CIP. He said that the focus
of the City is on the timing of improvements and the
Planning Commission should not be involved in this type of
issue.
Chairman Stulberg stated he agreed with Commissioner
Zylla's position. He said that the City has spent
considerable time with the assistance of consultants to
assemble the Capital Improvement Plan.
Planning Commission Minutes
February 26, 1992

Commissioner Zylla stated that he endorses the City's
efforts in the preparation of the long term planning and
the procurement of available funds needed for these plans.
Chairman Stulberg stated that as the City's population
increases there will be a need for more staff to support
the needs of the people.

Commissioner Zylla stated that the decision on Fernbrook
Lane should be decided now, whether it be to remove the
street or construct it. He said the City Council needs to
make the decision as the controversy creates problems for
developers who wish to build in this area.
Commissioner Scherer stated that it is good planning to
have alternate parallel roadways to the major highways to
aid the flow of traffic around the community.
Commissioner Scherer stated that he had been a member of
the Metropolitan Council and that he doubted that the
Metropolitan Council would approve the removal -of
Fernbrook Lane as part of the Plymouth Thoroughfare Guide
Plan, and they can overrule the City Council's decision.
He said that one of the Metropolitan Council's main
objectives,is to prevent the overcrowding of the major

Lane will need to be 4 lanes, but traffic projections at
the present time indicate 4 lanes will needed in the
future. He stated that the High School is a major
generator of traffic. He said detailed traffic studies
will be done as this project nears 1994 when it becomes
closer to time to be developed.
Commissioner Albro stated that the Goals, Objectives and
Criteria of the 'Comprehensive Plan state that a major
collector street not be placed in a school area.

WATER QUALITY COMMITTEE - MEETING NO. 2
TUESDAY, February 19, 1992
7:00 P.M.
Members in Attendance: Craig Twinem, Bonnie Hackner, Mary McKee, Dave
Tkachenko, Val Scheglowski, Jeff Shopek, LuAnn Yattaw, Dan Faulkner (Staff),
Eric Blank (Staff/Ex-officio).
Resigned: Gordon Lewis
The first order of business was to elect a chairman. By consensus, the
committee elected Jeff Shopek. Jeff opened the meeting with a brief
explanation of the City of Eagan's Water Management Plan, which is a very
comprehensive plan addressing storm water control, water usage, including
recreational and treatment and over 300 ponds within the City have been
identified and designated for a particular use. In somewhat of a contrast,
the City of Maple Grove has concentrated more on simply water usage and public
education. As a committee, we need to identify what the City of Plymouth
views as its problems and concerns which we need to address.
Eric Blank continued the discussion by explaining some of the history of lake
analysis within Plymouth. With respect to lake usage concerns, approximately
five years ago the City Council established a task force to examine public
access and use of Medicine Lake. The lake activity was monitored for
approximately four years and daily boat counts were made and compared against
the number of accidents on the lake. There was no use "problem" identified
nor many complaints expressed except for a jet ski use concern two years ago.
It was noted that Parkers Lake had a similar concern with jet ski use about
the same time, although no problem was voiced last year. The City of Plymouth
has no rules/use regulations for its lakes except for Lost Lake, Hadley Lake
and Mooney Lake. Only Medicine Lake and Parkers Lake have full public access
although Bass Lake is on the Department of Natural Resources. list of its top
100 lakes for putting in public access. It was noted that the County Water
Patrol handles enforcement concerns on Medicine Lake both in the summer and
winter. One area of water quality concern is the amount of garbage and
pollutants which enter lakes through ice fishing holes. The pollutants tend
to migrate toward the beaches in some cases due to the under current.
Medicine Lake is cleaned up after the winter use is over by the citizen group
AMLAC (Association of Medicine Lake Area Citizens).
A general discussion ensued concerning what should be the focus of our
committee. While it was generally agreed that we should look at all water
quality issues affecting all of Plymouth's lakes and ponds, Jeff suggested
that we start with the big lakes in Plymouth. The City of Plymouth will be
updating its storm drainage plan within the next year. This plan will include
not only storm drainage aspects, but water quality and use aspects as well.
There was much interest expressed in this plan update and it was suggested
that the Water Quality Commission be involved in this update.
WATER QUALITY COMMITTEE - MEETING NO. 2
TUESDAY, February 19, 1992
Page Two
Next the committee watched a series of three water quality video tapes which
Jeff obtained from the U.S. EPA Office of Water Regulations and Standards.
The films were entitled, "Introduction to Water Quality Standards", Anti -
Degradation Policy", and "The Clean Water Act." It was mentioned that these
and other video tapes are available at the EPA regional offices, Region 5
covers Minnesota, but the main office is in Chicago.
Following the films, the committee discussed water quality standards. Mary
McKee indicated that the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency has established
standards for Parkers Lake and they have completed an analysis of Parkers Lake
to indicate its current level of water quality. A copy of this analysis will
be provided to committee members for their review. It was noted that several
regulatory agencies have water quality standards affecting Plymouth lakes and
ponds. This includes the four watersheds, as well as the MPCA, DNR, Army
Corps, and EPA. It was also mentioned that the Fresh Water Foundation has a
hired staff which conducts much water quality research. Bonnie Hackner
mentioned that she is a member of the Fresh Water Foundation. Jeff also
mentioned that the Minnesota Water Plan dated January 19, 1991 has recently
been published and he will attempt to get copies for committee members. In
addition, the Plymouth Storm Water Plan Map and the DNR Wetland Map will also
be provided to committee members.
It was the committee consensus that additional information is needed by the
committee to broaden our background. One of the initial areas which the
committee will consider is -the milfoil treatment issue. Eric indicated that
he has the primary City responsibility for milfoil treatment. He indicated
that a decision on.milfoil treatment needs to be made before April. He also
indicated that there is- still much unknown about milfoil treatment and the
cure may be worse than the current problem,. i.e., milfoil may subside on its
own without treatment over a period of years.
Another direction the committee wants to pursue is public education,
particularly in the use of lawn chemicals. Jeff briefly discussed the City of
Shoreview's ordinance which limits the amount of nitrogen and phosphorus
homeowners can use. A copy of Shoreview's ordinance will be obtained for
committee review. The committee agreed that a reduction in lawn chemical
application would be a notable accomplishment of the committee. It was noted
that most homeowners either have their lawns treated or due self applications
without having a soil analysis completed first. The Hennepin County Extension
Office provides soil analysis kits to assess your lawn's nutrient needs. The
kits are free and the analysis is $7.00. Mary indicated this information was
provided to Helen LaFave, Plymouth Public Information Coordinator, and will
appear in the March Plymouth News. It was noted that the City does not
control chemical company permits, rather the State issues the necessary
permits. It was also mentioned that there are natural fertilizers
commercially available. Although they are more expensive, with more
widespread use the cost would likely go down.
Z.- 6b
WATER QUALITY COMMITTEE - MEETING NO. 2
TUESDAY, February 19, 1992
Page Three
Jeff offered that the committee pursue lawn fertilizer control as a short term
committee goal. He mentioned that State and Federal laws are often times
vague and hard to enforce and we need more localized understandable rules. As
part of the nutrient control issue, erosion control was also discussed. It
was indicated that the City does have an erosion control policy which is
rather strictly enforced although additional assistance is always welcomed.
This should include lake associations who see erosion control problems and
report those to the Engineering Department. Jeff mentioned that the City of
Shoreview's ordinance will be obtained for committee review and discussion at
the March meeting. In addition, he requested that Dan obtain the water
quality standards of the four watersheds within Plymouth.
The next meeting will be held on Tuesday, March 17, 1992 at 7:00 p.m.- in the
Council Conference Room rather than the Large Conference Room. Bonnie Hackner
mentioned she would be unable to attend the March meeting. The meeting was
adjourned at 9:25 p.m.

PROBLEM: The caller's water is bright orange. He wonders if it
is safe to drink.
SOLUTION: Call was transferred via voice mail to Water
Supervisor Bob Fasching. Bob had the water plant
operator call Mr. Pritchard. Mr. Pritchard said that
his water had since cleared up and that he believed he
had a problem with his water softener, rather than the
city water system. He made arrangements to have his
water softener inspected.

Dear Jeff:
In keeping with Department policy of recognizing exemplary
performance, I am presenting you with this letter of recognition.
You are being recognized for your assistance in the apprehension
of a driving while under the influence of alcohol suspect on

and the citizens of Plymouth. You have volunteered a
considerable amount of your time and your participation has been
an asset to both programs.
I commend you for your outstanding performance as a volunteer in
the Explorer and Reserve programs. You are certainly worthy of
special recognition. Congratulations on a job well done!

SUBJECT: SAFE DRINKING WATER - WATER CONNECTION FEE
Dear Sena or aub:
I recently wrote you regarding a draft bill. dealing with this
subject. To the best of my knowledge, that bill has not been
introduced. The Governor has, however, discussed the topic as
part of his address of March 5 dealing with the state budget.
In the Governor's message on budget issues and his
recommendations, he notes the following, "Recent federal mandates
will require the state to undertake further tests to ensure safe
drinking water.- The state will receive no federal funds for this
purpose, therefore, the Governor's budget recommends a service
connection fee to cover the cost of - the newly required testing"
(page 11) (Emphasis added).
Later on this document, in discussing revenue recommendations not
affecting tax policy changes, the Governor states the following,
"Selective fee increases are used to fund increases in services
by properly apportioning cost to beneficiaries of services.
Recommendations include water connection fees to support the Safe
Drinking Water Program ... " (page 17).
The 1992 supplemental budget recommendations anticipate that the
proposed water connection fees will generate $4,804,000 in fiscal
year 1993 (page 27). The same document lists expenditure
increases of $1,490,000 in 1993 for the purpose of testing public
water supply systems (page 29).
If the Governor's data are correct, the proposed $5 water
connection fee, would generate a net "profit" of $3,314,000 to
the state. Is this reasonable?
Of greater concern is the underlying premise that all customers
should share the cost equally, when in -fact, cost is incurred by
the testing of public water wells. The health department
informed me that the cost is approximately $3,400 per well per
year. If this is the case, it is obvious that communities with
numerous wells, or those public water supplies with few customers
would be potentially exposed to greater costs for testing of the
water.

If, in fact, the proposed water fees are to be used to "fund
increases in services ' by properly apportioning cost of
beneficiaries of services," then the Governor's proposal is
deficient on two fronts: 1) the costs proposed are substantially
in excess of the increased costs of providing the water testing;
and 2) the users of large water supply systems are being asked to
subsidize the user's of smaller public water supply systems.
This may appear to be a reasonably minor issue in.the context of
all the problems that the state government is confronting this
session. It does, however, represent the mind -set of continuing
to allocate costs not on the basis of where those costs are
incurred, but where the fees can be generated with the least
amount of public outcry. It perpetuates that stereotypical view
that the cost of operating governmental systems are a "free"
good, or at least the public cost must be subsidized by someone
other than the persons who directly benefit.
Finally, while I am on my soap box, has anyone explored the
possibility of having the state select appropriately certified
private testing laboratories to provide the required water test,
rather than to have the state develop its own expanded testing
system? It seems to me that testing of these public water
supplies can be done on a competitive basis by testing labs
throughout the state, at a cost very likely less than the state
will end up paying if it does it with its own personnel.
Yours truly,

Dear Mr. and Mrs. LastName:
You were previously invited to a meeting on August 12, and September 30,
1991 to share your ideas and concerns regarding a landscaping plan for
Northwest Boulevard between 56th and 54th Avenues. The City's consulting
engineer and landscape architect had used suggestions from the residents in
attendance at the first meeting to prepare the attached schematics for a
landscaping plan. I am also attaching a copy of a report I made to the City
Council summarizing the comments made from those in attendance at the second
meeting.
As the report to the City Council states, no action was to be taken on the
landscaping plan until after the final alignment of the roadway was
determined. This alignment was determined in January and the City is now
moving forward with the construction of this segment of Northwest Boulevard.
I will be presenting the information on the landscaping plan to the City
Council at the Council meeting to be held on Monday, March 16 at 7:00 p.m.
You may wish to attend.
Regarding the attached landscaping plan, which was reviewed by the property
owners, I will be making the following recommendations:
1. That the 6 inch board fence construction and plantings on
the plan for either side of 54th Avenue (southerly of the
City park/playfield) be implemented. I am recommending that
this portion of the plan be implemented since this is the
area where the elevation of the roadway is changing to allow
for a bridge over the railroad. I am not recommending the
northern portion (either side of 55th Avenue) since there
has been no change in the roadway plans from the time the
adjacent properties were developed.
2. If the brick columns are constructed as shown in the plan
and as requested by the property owners, the added cost
should be the responsibility of the property owners. These
columns are essentially for aesthetic reasons and not to
provide screening to the adjacent elevated roadway.

1. NORTHWEST BOULEVARD - MEETING WITH NEIGHBORS TO DISCUSS
FENCE/LANDSCAPING -- Tuesday evening, Fred Moore and I,
along with representatives from Strgar Roscoe Fausch, met
with several of the neighbors abutting proposed Northwest
Boulevard between 54th and 56th Avenues" North. The
purpose of this meeting was to receive their reactions to
the concept layout for both the fence and landscaping
which had been prepared following our earlier meeting
with them.
All but four of the neighbors present indicated their
preference for the type of fence which was contained in
the SRF memo. Two other neighbors residing on both the
north and south side of 55th Avenue, indicated their
preference for a stockade -type wooden fence.
Comments were also raised regarding the actual location
of the proposed fence with respect to the trail outlot
right-of-way and the placement of landscaping. We
indicated that the actual placement of a fence would be
determined based upon the grade of the property adjacent
to the street right-of-way; the fence should take
advantage of the elevation to act as a screen. The
matter of the actual placement of landscaping material
would be based upon determinations made in the field
after plans have been approved. I reminded the neighbors
that the city staff had 'suggested that the fence be
constructed only on that portion of the right-of-way
affected'by the change in the grade of the road as a
result of the elevated crossing of the Soo Line tracks.
The neighbors and the city staff agreed that the matter
of the fence/ landscaping should await a determination of
the alignment for Northwest Boulevard. Accordingly, we
told the neighbors we would place the fence/ landscaping
issue back on the City Council agenda at such time as the
Council was being requested to consider results of the
DNR permit application for the AD/AE road alignment. The
neighbors concurred in this approach.

Dear Mr. Willis,
The following excerpt is from the Hennepin County Library Board Meeting Minutes of
January 16, 1992 which were approved at the Library Board meeting held Thursday,
February 27, 1992.
PLYMOUTH R. Rohlf reported that the Library is now in the process of waiting for
the County Designer Selection Committee to select an architect.
Plymouth has deposited $600,000 in escrow for the purchase of the
land and a market value will be set by a Condemnation Committee
(which has not yet been appointed). The City Attorney and County
Attorney will draw up the site transfer and the City Council has
indicated that when the preliminary plan and site study are completed
and they concur with them, they will formally transfer that portion of
the land to the County. Plymouth will then keep the rest of the land
and dispose of it through the terms of the condemnation procedure.
R. Rohlf reminded the Board that the only money available is still for
planning, no funds have been budgeted for construction. Based on
the timeline received from Property Management dated January 15,
1992: Preliminary planning begins April 13; Design Development
begins July 6; and, Construction drawing begins October 12.
Completion is shown as March 1994.
The next Library Board Meeting is scheduled for Thursday, March 26, 1992, and will
be held at the Brookdale-Hennepin Area Library. A postcard notice will be sent to you
closer to that date.
Sincerely,

SUBJECT: SPEED ZONING STUDY
COUNTY ROAD 24 FROM HIGHWAY 55 TO BROCKTON LANE
Dear Mr. Menge:
I am enclosing a copy of the Speed Zoning Study findings for which you
petitioned the City last October. As you may recall, the State
Commissioner of Transportation has the authority to set speed limits on
all public roads within the State. . The results of the Speed Zoning
Study conducted by the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT)
indicate that the current 50 mile per hour speed limit on County State
Aid Highway 24 between the intersection of Brockton Lane and Trunk
Highway 55 is the safe and reasonable speed. I am enclosing this one
page finding from MnDOT as well as the February 21, 1992 letter from
Dennis Hansen of Hennepin County Public Works to me transmitting the
Commissioner's findings.
If you have any questions regarding the Speed Zoning Study, please
contact either me at 550-5071 or Dennis Hansen with Hennepin County
Public Works Department at 930-2500.

Dear Kim Bergman, -f-:Z;

The Crystal, New Hope, East • Plymouth League of Women Vote&
invites you and the members of your group to a public forum'
explore the use of mediation by students to resolve conflict
without violence.
Concern about violence and the need to develop community
responses to promote personal safety is not a new or unfamiliar
issue for the LWV. Throughout the country, the LWV has been an
early advocate at the state and local levels, recently providing
programs such as a public forum on the Attorney General's Task
Force on Prevention of Sexual Violence Against Women, and a study
on sexual harassment in Dist. 281 schools.
In 1990 the Minneapolis LWV studied "Breaking the Cycle of
Violence: A l=ocus on Primary Prevention Efforts." *
fforts."• Based on that
study the Minnesota LWV in 1991 adopted a statewide position on
"Prevention of Violence". The forum we are inviting you to i
another opportunity unity to learn about way_ we might use to teach
students about Settling conflicts.
The forum will begin with a panel to explore the kinds of student'
mediation programs _ether Twin Cities schools are using
successfully. Panel members are John Conbere, Director of
Citizens Council; Darryl 1
Mediation .ryC_r"'�✓:i�'e�=• f_�)'" file � ��� c1r�)'"' 1 aYiC_ _IGy

Mediation programs .in the Burnsville School District and Dennis
Haversack or flay Knos•s who set up the Leadership student program
for 5th and Eth graders in a Hopkin' s Meadowbrook elementary
school. A video will be shown of students mediating disputes.
After the panel, school and community representatives will be
asked to respond to the issues. Questions from the audience are
invited.
The public forum - will be held on Wednesday, March 18th, from 7:30
to 9:30 p.m., at the New Hope City Hall at 4401 Xylon Ave. North.
Would you be interested in participating as a responder during
the second part of the program? We would like to have people
from various parts of the community share their unique
perspectives.

-Dear Mr. Willis:
This is the first of the four quarterly status reports you asked
me for in your letter of January 16, 1992.
As of March 31, 1992, our circulation in the city of Plymouth
will be the same as it was in January. Plans to increase dis-
tribution in the city•of Plymouth have not changed. The first of
those increases should begin in the early summer.
We would be interested if you had any preference regarding which
neighborhood we should consider first.
We have the results of a recently completed market study which
has interesting insights into population mobility, shopping
habits and newspaper readership within the areas we serve. I'll
be calling you during the next week to set up an appointment for
some time late in•March. We'd like to share the -information with
you, Mayor Bergman and other city officials you think might be
interested. The meeting would take approximately 45 minutes and
require the use of an overhead projector which we can provide.
We look forward to meeting with you.

SUBJECT: AREA FOUR TOWN MEETING
Dear Ms. Johnson:
• �o
I am responding concerning your inquiry on the extension of Nathan Lane
northerly from the existing Cardinal Ridge Townhomes to 56th Avenue. As
you stated in your inquiry, this segment of street between 55th Avenue
and 56th Avenue is not part of the City's Capital Improvements Program.
That portion of Nathan Lane which serves the Cardinal Ridge Townhomes
and the adjacent industrial development was constructed concurrent with
the development of the property. The additional extension of Nathan
Lane will also take place concurrently with the development of the
vacant property. At the present time, the City has no active proposals
by the land owner for development of their land, and therefore, I cannot
give you a schedule for its construction. I realize the lack of
completion of Nathan Lane causes some inconvenience to you and the other
residents of the Cardinal Ridge Townhomes, but the existing street
system does provide adequate access to your homes. Since your property
is within 500 feet of the undeveloped property, your Homeowner's
Association will receive a notice of any proposed development on the
property.
If you have any additional questions concerning the extension of Nathan
Lane, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Dear Kim,
Thank you for taking the time to respond to my request for budget
balancing solutions.
On March 5, I delivered a three-part budget proposal to the
members of the Minnesota Legislature. This proposal calls for a
property tax accounting change, revised revenue collection
procedures that will enable us to use $140 million of the state's
cash flow account without short-term borrowing, and $230 million
in budget reductions. None of these measures will adversely
impact the taxpayer.
Even in difficult times, budgets should reflect priorities. Our
top priority is to preserve opportunities for families and
children. The spending reductions we propose are distributed
broadly and fairly across state agencies, higher education, human
development and local governments. The net effect of our
proposal on local governments is a decrease of approximately 1.1
percent when all sources of revenue are considered.
Reducing spending is never easy. I understand the challenges you
face. But by working together, I believe we can get Minnesota
back on solid financial ground without asking the Minnesota
taxpayer for more.
Again, thank you for you ideas.
Warmest regards,
ARNE H. CARLSON
Governor
