The Council reviewed the proposals and suggested further
meast`res that could be taken. Mayor Hilde proposed a
meeting with the Mayor of Medicine Lake to find a solution
to the problems created by traffic from the Country House
and also proposed that the Plymouth police patrol the street
more frequently ar,d enforce the ordinance prohibiting
drinking on our beaches.
iuncilman Spaeth suggested trimming back some of the dense
0rubbery in front of homes along the drive would provide
better vision, par•icularly when (lacking out of driveways.
Councilma Neils si.-gested considering make South Shore
Drive a dead end street.
MOTION was made by Mayor Hilde, seconded by Councilman Hunt,
to attempt to alleviate the traffic problem on South Shore
Drive further by 1) continuing to seek the Post Office's
help in nx%vi ng the mail boxes to the other s ,'de of the road;
2) arranging a meeting with Medicine Lake officials to try to
encourage them to give proper regulation to the Country House
operation; 3) charging our Citizens Action Committee to come

by the residents.
Councilman Spaeth suggested that we offer to install two
stop signs in Medicine Lake and request them to enforce them.
Engineer Goldberg reviewed the cost of dredging Ponderosa Pond
and suggestions for engineering changes to keep the pond
clear.
Burt Lindahl, 2718 Garland Lane, stated residents felt the
problem was created because the developer did not clean the
pond out properly after construction was completed. They
felt if the pond was cleaned out propertly and some changes
made in the slope, dredging would not have to be repeated for
many, many years.

come forward with a more conciFe statement of what the processing
facility would entail, then the City would look for a possiLle guided
area which could adapt to t0 s use; 3) they must go through the normal
planning process that Plymouth requires for development; and 4; approval
would be contingent upon non -interruption of our own disposal facility
which is operating properly and efficiently.

of increasing the incidence of Dutch Elm disease in the area where
trees are being burned and along -the d4sposal routes and the County's
liability and responsdbility in the matter; and 4) our concern that
our safe and efficient tree disposal facility will be replaced by
their operation.
