FERNBROOK TOWNHOUSE TREE PRESERVATION MEETING -- On Wednesday, September 16, Mayor Bergman, Councilmember Tierney, Community Development Director Dillerud, Public Works Director Moore and I met with approximately 10 neighborhood representatives and three representatives of Hartford Enterprises, including Stuart Nolan and his architect, Brian Lubben. CITY COUNCIL INFORMATIONAL AIMORANDUM SEPTE MER 18, 1992 PAGE 3 There was a great deal of tension as the meeting commenced and a concern that residents had been mislead, by both the developer and the City. As the conversation' continued, calmer perspectives prevailed. At the conclusion of the meeting we agreed to six steps: 1. Chuck Dillerud and Fred Moore will determine whether or not there is a possibility of relocating the water line on the northerly portion of the property and the sewer and water line emanating from 44th Avenue and Fernbrook to mitigate against additional tree loss. 2. Chuck will contact the developer to determine what additional reforestation he will provide in these utility corridors including number of trees, size and timing for installation. 3. Chuck will determine from the developer what additional reforestation will be provided along the westerlXprivate drive. 4. Chuck will determine what reforestation efforts will occur along the north property line. k 5. If requested, Chuck and I will meet with Jerry Fisher to discuss his suggestions about establishing a land trust or more aggressive environmental protection efforts. Such efforts would be extensions of the City's existing tree preservation and erosion control policies. 6. I contacted Paul Buck, City Forester, asking him to allow burning on the site only when the prevailing wind is coming from the northwest or west so that a minimum number of people will be impacted. At the conclusion of the meeting, residents thanked the developer and City representatives for their continued sensitivity to their concerns. I will keep the Council advised as we progress in investigating the matters set forth above. 2.

September 16, 1992 Dear Northwest Hennepin Community Member: NORTHWEST HENNEPIN HUMAN SERVICES COUNCIL 7601 Kentucky Ave. N. Brooklyn Park, MN 55428 A612) 493-2802 You are iall i d Star meetin on Thursday, September 24th at 9:30AM at the Grant Park Head Start facility on 7th and Humboldt North (map enc ose This meeting will provide the opportunity to update.you on the proposed Brooklyn Park facility. We will discuss the proposed method of financing necessary improvements, the various programs to be offered, and any questions you may have on this proposal. In addition, this will be an opportunity to see what the classrooms at the Brooklyn Park facility would look like. They would be a replication of the classrooms at the impressive Grant Park Head Start operation, which we will tour that morning. The Head Start facility to be located in the old Brooklyn Park City Hall to serve the northwest suburbs is moving closer to reality. Since last we met it was concluded by both Parents in Community Action and the Success By 6 Northwest Brooklyn Park Resource Center Committee that the Brooklyn Park location was the most ideal site. Since late last year, the City of Brooklyn Park and Parents in Community Action have been working to develop a lease agreement. Work has also been done by PICA's architects to develop cost estimates to remodel the facility to meet the needs of the Head Start program. In addition to Head Start, the Brooklyn Park facility will be occupied by complementary early childhood and family programs. We are now at a critical point in that funds must be secured before any remodeling contracts can be signed. Funding is proposed to come from several sources, including cities, school districts, state and federal government, foundations, etc. This would be a one time contribution for remodeling. Head Start and the other service programs will then assume responsibility for providing all operational costs for the center. I want to personally thank Alyce Dillon and her staff along with the officials of Brooklyn Park for their efforts in bringing things to where they are now. Both PICA and the City of Brooklyn Park have been dedicated to making this project work. The City of Brooklyn Park has really committed themselves to this effort by their willingness to contribute not only the old city hall valued at $1 million dollars, but also some of their Community Development Block Grant Funds. Now is the time for all of us to get behind this effort financially and to get the Head Start facility operating by early next year. If there are any questions please call Phil Cohen at 493-5115 or Gretchen Farrier at 493-2802. I look forward to seeing you on the 24th!

Gerdes - Public Safety Director SUBJE T: LIQUOR SERVER LICENSING On September 11, 1992 at a meeting of the Wayzata Plymouth Chemical Health Commission, a resolution was passed requesting the development of a City ordinance change to require liquor service licensing. The background to this particular directive comes from a Plymouth City Council study session item that had been held over until my arrival and then until the meeting of the Wayzata- Plymouth Chemical Health Commission. At that meeting I agreed to do the background research and development to look at moving forward in a joint manner with surrounding communities including not only Wayzata,_but also Maple Grove and contact with other communities to develop a consistent response to the issue of liquor service licensing and the sub -issue of training. My focus will be to contact the other law enforcement agencies, review current statutes and then recommend joint changes to liquor ordinances that would ultimately require licensing of liquor servers. This will also be done in conjunction with contact of currently existing liquor license holders for their input and awareness. The resolution directive indicated that the project development should be completed by the 1st of November. Based on the results of the project development phase, I will bring forward a recommendation for a change in the ordinance and a policy with regard to licensing of liquor servers. The Wayzata Plymouth Chemical Health Commission also established assistance within that commission to help deal with this, including three additional members of the commission to assist me in the non -law enforcement development phases of this program. I will keep you advised of the progress of this particular program. am SEP 18'92 TI fo_ „v, -L ,,..L O1 CITY OF PLYMOUTH 3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD, PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447 DATE: September 10, 1992 TO: Frank yl s, cting City Manager FROM: Chu erud Community Development Director SUBJECT: CO DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT MONTHLY REPORTS --AUGUST, 1992 Attached please find general data regarding the Building and Planning Divisions of the Community Development Department both in tabular and graphic form for the month of August. While Planning Division activity continues its erratic performance in terms of volume --but generally a greater volume than in the previous two years --the Building Division continues to reflect building permits issued well in excess of either of the two previous years. Additional statistical information that may be of interest to you and the City Council includes the following: 1. Through the end of August we have issued permits for 397 new single family detached dwelling units. During the month of August we issued 48 permits or 71 percent more than August, 1991, Year-to-date we have realized a 67 percent increase in the number of single family detached dwelling unit permits issued over the same date in 1991. 2. Total permits issued (for all purposes) is up 26 percent for August, 1992, over August, 1991; 'and, up 27 percent for the year-to-date over 1991. 3. The total number of inspections performed by the Inspection Division for all purposes is up 28 percent year-to-date over 1991. 4. The total value for all construction for which permits have been issued through the end of August, 1992, is $103,441,803 or 42 percent over the year-to-date total in 1991.

Gerdes - Public Safety Director SUBJE T: STATUS OF FIRE CHIEF SELECTION The selection process for the Fire Chief's position continues. A request had been forwarded to the 15 remaining candidates to respond with a videotape presentation, answering a series of questions. A response time had been given to the applicants, and as of September 14, 1992, the final cutoff date, 12 of the 15 candidates had responded. A three-member panel reviewed the videotapes on September 14, 1992, and as a result of their scoring process, the number of candidates was reduced to a semifinalist list of six candidates. Three of these candidates are from within the State of Minnesota, and three of them are from other states. Jeanette Sobania will be contacting the candidates and making arrangements for them to participate in a 3 -day process to complete the selection of a Fire Chief. This process is currently scheduled to occur on Wednesday, September 30th, Thursday and Friday, October 1 -2nd. The process will include a four stage assessment center to be conducted on October 1, 1992. Representatives of the Plymouth Fire Department will be involved in the assessment center. All members of the Plymouth Fire Department will be invited to meet the remaining candidates the evening of October 1, 1992. Based on the outcome of interviews in the assessment center, you and I will conduct a final interview on October 2nd, with a potential job offer being made after those interviews are reviewed. A job offer could be made at that time pending background investigation and medical assessment. I will continue to keep you apprised of the selection process, which seems to be moving forward well at this time. cc: Jeanette Sobania - Personnel Coordinator David Burke - Acting Fire Chief QM BEP I MEMO CITY OF PLYMOUTH 3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD, PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447 DATE: September 18, 1992 t TO: Frank Boyles, Fred Moore, Chuck Dillerud, Joe Ryan, Scott Hovet, t Dale Hahn, Eric Blank ; FROM: Glenn Upton, Weed Inspector SUBJECT: WEED COMPLAINTS As of September 15, 1992 we are no longer taking weed complaints from residents regarding private property.

One building permit has been issued and you were requesting the issuance of an additional five or six permits for models before you complete the required seeding and mulching. You also stated to me that you could not complete - the seeding and mulching until you finish constructing the berms and moving existing trees. In our conversation I asked you when you would be able to complete the seeding and mulching. You assured me that this would be completed by the end of September and have submitted a letter to that affect. This letter was received on Monday, September 14. By copy of this letter I am informing the Building Inspection Division that up to a total of seven permits for homes in Golfview Estates can be issued between now and the end of September or until your engineer has certified that all seeding and mulching is completed and this is verified by the Engineering Division. Since this is the appropriate time of year to be doing the necessary "seeding, I would like to stress that you need to continue to work with your engineer and contractor in order that this work can be completed before October 1.

Miller & Schroeder is familiar with the role of Bond Counsel as proposed by Mr. -Dan Nelson of Best & Flanagan. Many cities have similar relationships with their Bond Counsel. Miller & Schroeder finds no difficulty in working with cities which have such relationships, and sometimes finds that the Bond Counsel in this type of role can help facilitate the proposed transaction to a more expeditious conclusion. It is important, however, to make sure that the role of Bond Counsel does not become one of financial advisor. Bond Counsel's role should be clearly understood to be limited to legal and not financial advice. If the City decides to accept Mr. Nelson's proposal, care should be given to assure that timely notice be given to prospective participants (i.e., developers, underwriters, fiscal advisors) that the City has a new policy which affects upcoming bond transactions. Miller & Schroeder has worked specifically with Best & Flanagan in many other transactions, and in particular with Mr. Dan Nelson. They are an excellent firm and Mr Nelson is certainly one of the leading bond lawyers in our community. We look forward to working with you in whatever relationship you deride to have with Best & Flanagan. If you have any further questions, I would be most happy to try to answer them.

In checking with the court, we have determined that there was an animal at large charge against you, which was continued for dismissal for one year.

Lack of subject Matter Jurisdiction. The M.S. 344. specifically prohibit City from bringing a citation' against Chen in district court relating to the agricultural fence issue. 2. Pursuant to City Council Resolution on Aug.31,1992, designated Council member Joy Tiermey as a " Fence Viewer" to arbitrate this fence matter. M.S. 344.01, 344.02. ` No party shall , during the hearing of any fence matter, prosecute or commence any action, or proceeding against any other party touching any of the fence matters. The Fence Viewer's hearing will set a schedule and City can not complain about the fence case against Chen in district court. 3. This District Court should not interfere with the Fence Viewer's proceedings. The Minnesota Supreme Court also recongnized that one court should not interfere when another court has exercised jurisdiction. The court noted : Choas in the administration of justice would indeed result if a court were permitted to attact collaterally by summary order in one action the validity of process in a different and seperate action over which the court of another county has already taken and exercised jurisdiction.

Federal and state laws require that persons legally responsible for storage tank releases notify the MPCA of the release, investigate the extent of the release and take actions needed to ensure that the release is cleaned up. A person is generally considered legally responsible for a tank. release if the person owned or operated the tank either during -or after the release. We are aware that an initial investigation of the site has occurred and petroleum contaminated soil and/or ground water has been identified. The MPCA staff is therefore requesting you to take the'necessary steps to investigate and clean up the release in accordance with the enclosed MPCA technical documents. If you have not already done so, we recommend that you hire a qualified consulting firm who has experience in conducting petroleum release site investigations and taking corrective actions. The MPCA requires that the site investigation fully define the extent and magnitude of the soil and ground water contamination caused by the -release. We reserve the right to reject proposed corrective actions if the requirements of the site investigation have not been fulfilled. In addition, you must notify the MPCA within 24 hours if you discover free-floating petroleum product on'the surface of the ground water. If you do perform the requested work, the state may reimburse you for a major portion of your costs. The Petroleum Tank Release Cleanup Act establishes a fund which in certain circumstances provides partial reimbursement for petroleum tank release cleanup costs. This fund is administered by the Petro Board. More specific eligibility rules are available from the Petro Board (612/297-1119 or 612/297-4203).

In this event, the HPCA Commissioner may order you to take corrective action at the site. If you do not comply with the Commissioner's order, it may be enforced in court or, alternatively, the HPCA could spend its own money cleaning up the release and then seek to recover its costs from you or other responsible persons through legal action. Failure to cooperate with the HPCA in a timely manner may also result in reduced reimbursement from the Petro Board. If you conclude that the release in question is not from any tank which you have owned or'operated, please notify the MPCA immediately and explain the basis of your conclusion. A packet of fact sheets is enclosed for your information. For site specific questions, contact me, your site's project manager, at 612/297-8589.

I have talked with Len and Randy at the RTB and we have two additional weeks to submit our service plan for the RFP. This extension means that the final report will be due at Plymouth by September 28, the City Council will act on the recommendations at their October 5 meeting and we will submit our service plan to the RTB by October 7. As we discussed, the final report needs to include the following sections: Rationale for Study This section needs to explain why the study was undertaken, (to meet future growth, routes never before reviewed, opportunity with contract coming up, I- 394 opening, improve efficiency of service, etc. ). St_pe s in the Process In this section describe the steps that were undertaken to arrive at the recommendations, (survey, PACT involvement, public hearing, etc.). Qptions Considered Describe the options developed and considered, (maps, schedules, hours, miles, narrative, etc.). I have enclosed the format to be used for the side by side comparisons of hours and scheduled service times. Public Input Describe how the public was notified about the changes, (flyers, cable television ran an announcement, etc.) and what the public had to say about the options being considered, (my notes from the public hearing are enclosed).

I also wish to thank each of you on behalf of the Landowners, including, those that already have their business established in the City Center. Some people went away mad. Esp., The Radamacher Group. There were others that would like to have seen a little more liberalization of use for the Northern most properties. Some pointed out, we already allowed B2 or 3 in the area with the Amoco Station. However, All were happy to get rid of the site specific of the old plan. It is my hope that all existing undeveloped landowners will continue to work together on an informal basis in the future. Working together as a unit, these people could develop this Downtown Plymouth area for their own betterment and those of the people within the community. I found it very challenging to work with such a select group of people, all with different goals, objectives and desires. I feel better for the experience. Again, Thankyou for your support.
