Pup is Works Vrecter Moore presented the report of the Special
AssessmMnt Committee on the 1990 Street Reconstruction Program,
Project No. 00.1. He srited thet no changes are recommended to
the proposed program for Districts 4 and 11. In District 10, it
is recommended that where bitwninous curb is removed, it be
replaced with bituminous rather than concrete. The following
recommendations are made for District 8: that 24th Avenue he
deleted From the program; that the proposed width for
reconstructed streets be decreased to a range of 25 to 33 feet
to save trees and lessen impacts; that watermain for 25th Avenue
be considered at a public hearing prior to reconstruction; and
that the assessmtlint rate for widening and concrete curb and
gutter oe r aduc ali fr•)m 325 to $20 per front foot.
Dick Schne:1, IdU Pi1c;rim Lane, agreed that his street needs,
reconstruction, 11:,t ;rated concern about the difference betwec n
the estimated prop(r.oI assessments of single Family homes anal
apartment buildings. He asked that the Council find a maans to
to finance the project ocher than special assessments because
Pilgrim Lane serves an area much larger than is beinq assessed,
Manager Willis stated that because streets serve a much greater
area than the abutting homes, the Street Reconstruction Proraram
assessment formula has a substantial part of the cost (709) paid
through general tax dollars, rather than special assessments.
Councilmember Ricker asked how estim-ited assessme its would h,.
determined for apartment units.
Director Moore responded that the assessments art based on an
area ratio - one apartment for every 13,000-15#,0U0 squara feet.
He stated that although more work is needed on Pilgrim Lane thar
issome other streets in the Reconstruction Program, Pilgrim tants
property owners will pay the same.

Don Carolla, 3765 Trenton Lane, objected to the assessment
formula used for apartment upfits, He stated the cost of
resurfacing Trenton Lane is about $10,400. The proposed
assessments for this work are 90 percent of this amount;
therefore, the Trenton residents are paying for reconstruction
of other streets as well. He suggested spreading the project
cost over all properties in the City, or using funds previously
designated for a proposed community center, Mr. Carolla stated
he should not be assessed the same for resurfacing as others pay
for reconstruction. He stated that Union Terrace 1s in worse
condition than Trenton Lane and is not planned for
reconstruction this year,
Director Moore stated Union Terrace

resurfacing in the early years of

allow it to deteriorate to a

Meyor Bergman and Councilmember Helliwell noted that some
cities assess 101 percent of the cost for reconstruction to the
abutting properties.,
Councilmember Ricker shao•ed the concern that apartment units
nay not be fairly assessed under the proposed formula. He
suggested this issue be referred to the Special Assessment
Cominittee for further review, including consideration of a per
unit basis in an equal amount to single family dwellings.
MOTION was made by Councilmember Ricker, seconded by
Councilmember titur, to refer the estimated assessments on
Lancaster Lane to the Special Assessment Committee for a report
on the formula for apartments and commercial properties.
Attorney Thomsen !stated the Special Assesswent Committee will
consider the benefit derived from the improvement because the
assessment amount cannot exceed the amount of benefit to the
property,

Manager Willis hated individual drainage issues will be
considered during the final design stage.
Mr. Scribner asked if utility cables could he buried along w+th
the oeconstruction projrct. He noted that residents will need
to be able to get to .'.heir homes at all times during the
construction.
Manager Willis stated the property uwners world have to pay the
cost of burying utility cables. They could request this if they
wished.
John Holmes. 2120 E. Medicine lake Blvd., stated he is opposed
to the project. If LancasIter Lane is widened, seven large trees
may be lost. There is also an embankment where a retaining wall
may have to be construc:trd which could cause a problem with snow
plowing. K% stated that bituminous curb and gutter is
sufficient. Mr. Holmes asked if there would he an opportunity
to review his a:%sessment, He stated his property is a corner
lot and asked if he would be fully assessed for the other side
if it were reconstructed in a future year.
Manager Willis responded that an assessment hearing will be heed
near completion ov* the project. Property owners will be
notified of the hearing and of the amount of their proposed
assessment. He explained that the secondary side of a corner
lot would not be assessed for street, but could be assessed for
curb and gutter improvements.

Company request for RP613 Concept Plan, Prel imi nary P1 an/Pl ilt ,
Rezoning, and Conditional Use Permit for property located ncrth
of County Road 24 and est of the municipal boundary (90009),
The Concept Plan proposes 113 single family detached buildina
lots on this 68.5 acre side, Both the Concept Plan and the
Preliminrry Plat propose minimum side yard setbacks of 9 feet on
the 1 i vi ng side and 6 feet on the garage side. Director Treme •e
stated that were some Planned Unit Development (BUD) plans
approved with the 9-foot/6-foot provision in the mid 1980's, but
that the Council has required all single family detached PUO' s
during recent years to have 10 -foot minimum side yards on both
sides of the lots. The Planning Commission recommended the
standard of 10 -feet on both lot sides in the Preliminary plan,
Director Tromere stated the ptitioner has proposed 25 -foot
front yard setbacks throughout the subdivision. 'staff
recommends that 35 feet be the standard front bard setback,
consistent wit's conventional and most other RNO tingle family
detached plats, The Planning Commission recommended the 15-f,)ot
minimum front yard setbacks, except where it can be dpmoristra ed
that 29 -foot mintmon front yams would preserve natural situ
features,
Di reo. t.)r Trem3re started Commissioner members were concerned with
respect to storm water drainage desigro on tht. site because of
the low-lying topography, The City Engineer Adrised the
Planning L'o nission that the drainage des?gn would be reviewod
during the fil %al plan stages to assure that the drainale water
that leaves th, site after development is of no greater rate or
vele-ity than what currently is experienced.
The P1 anni ng Commission also recommended k0 i mi na ti on of the two
goose -neck" leis in the extreme northea-sc corner of the plat
because access to the lots would be by a private r 1 veway
through the edge of a wetland area.
Terry Forbord, Lundgren Bros., stated this project Is proposed
as a PUD in order to address the pour soil, wetlands, and hi gr
water table conditions on the site. He described the proposed
development and s.ated it would be similar tt this its4eple:hale
Development in tht, Vicksburg West PUD, He showed slides of
other similar tund9ren developments. Mr, forbord rtited the
developer's intent ;s to retain the existing natural amenities,
as well as create new ones. The sitio will have more wetl,snd
after the project. is completed than before development,

Qir, t'orbard requester! Council approval of the reduced side yard
and front yard setbacks as requested. He stated thi s
flexibility would save wetland areas and trees on the site, and
reduce construction costs which will provide more affordable
housing. Average lot site in the development is proposed as
16.000 square feet, with 17 acres of canon area to ae owned, aha
maintainer by the homeowners' association. The devalvpment will
contain a 5.5 acre recreation area. Mr. Forbord note o thAt if
the 9-fool:Amsoot side yard setback; wer4 approveas it would not
mean the distance betweer homes would be S -feet, The distance
between dwellings would vary. He stated that complaints have
not been received relative to noise or Leung too close to
adjacent properties in other similar Lundgren levelopffents with
the 9-foot/6-foot setb,scks. Residents also feel the 2S' front
yard setback is sufficient because it allows for a lat-gler rear
yard.
Mr. Forbord asked that Lundgren be allowed to develop thv two
lots in the extreme northeastern corn4!r of the development.
lkcess is proposed through private driveways from the past and
north. These 'ots would be the peemier lots of the subdivision
dote to their secluded naturse. W_ stated that medians are shaven
on the plan at the Counter Road 24 entrance only. The developer
would prefer median entrance at the kiurth end of the development
ss well to instill a sense of community.
Rick Sathre, Sb thre-Bergqui st, Inc . , stated the housing propos id
for the development would be quality construction and cto•.t
oetween $140,000 and $200,000. He stated that the City has
proposed that since Zircon Lane is a collector street, thrau+i
movement should be provided at 32nd Avenue. The developer
planned the dead-end with Zirc#)n Lane going north in order to
encourage traffic to slow down ween entering the development.
Mr Sathre also stated there is soma question of what will occur
with County Road 24 at the entrance to the development,
Hennepin County want to widen Co;.,nty Rood 21 at this point ind
has required that the developer connect the existing right -turn
lanes at Brockton Lane and xanthui Line to create a fell
westbound auxi.iary lane between Brockiton t.ane and xanthus
Lane, Alsos that a right -turn accelerction lane shall be
constructed at Urbandale Lane. Mr, Sathre objected to this
developer being required to construct the right -turn lane ihi c:h
would Serve entrance into the Amber Woods development, He
stated the full lenytn right -turn i arse will confuse drivers Band
should be tapered and widened at the intersections.

Director Moore stated that County Road 24 is a county road, If
an application is +eade for an access permit to the county road.
the County's requi rewents for width, and turn lanes will have to
complied with, The County views this from a safety perspective.
Councilwewber Ricker stated he Would support a continuous
right turn lane, rather than tapering and widening which is
confusing to drivers,
Mar) Weinzierl, 18820 County Road 24, urged the Council to
maintain consistency with other devclopments by maintaining
winiwin 10 -foot side yard setbacks,
Counci lmemoer Zi tur stated he is concerned about retaining they
10 -foot side yard mini hums, as well as an adequate front yard
setback, He noted that the Council receives requests from
residents wanting to build additions to their hone, This very
tight side and front yards leave a future homeowner little room
for options. Councilmember Zitur asked if the site contains
protected wetlands.
Director Moorr stated the only protected 3NR wetland is In the
northwest area of the site where no work is proposed. TheMe are
also Ar+j Corps of Engineers wetland in the extreme northeast
corner of the site where the private driveways are propose4.
These are marsh grass wetlands with little standing water,

Mayor Bergman questioned whether It is necessary to restrict
development of the two lots in the extreme northeast corner of

permission from the City to allow temporary placement of a water
ski course on Parkers Lake. The only restriction placed on the
Parkers lake boat launch is the launching of five boats on the
lake at any one time.
Mayor Bergman asked the City Attorney to respond with what
permission, if any, is needed from the City.
Attorney Thomson stated the City has no specific regulation,
relating to Parkers Lake and no permitting requirements. It il,
his understanding that Hennepin County is not requiring a permit
for this particular request. Attorney Thomson stated the City
has authority to adopt regulations on this lake since it is
surrounded by the City of Plymouth on all sides. The
regulations would need to he approved by the n NR.

Regular Council Meeting
April 16, 1990
Page 135
Manager Willis stated that some years ago there was a proposal
to limit horsepower of boats entering the lake from the public
launch. The ONR :ibjected to this requirement because it only
applied to people launching from the public launch and not
residences on the lake. If the Council adopts regulations for
the lake, they must apply to all users of the lake.
Bill Christopherson, 16524 Ringer Road, Wayzata, stated the
temporary water ski course he proposes would only be used two
days a weeK for one to two hours each day. Nothing is left in
the water permanently, He stated that Hennepin County first
thought he would need a County permit and permission from the
City; howeeder, they later determi ted that no permit is necessary
for a terr orary course.
Counciomember Iitur was concerned that allowing one use of this
type would bring many mire similar uses to this small lake.
Mr. Christopherson stated the temporary course would be put in
on the west side of the lake, farthest from the homes and beach.
Loren Langer, 1145 Kingsview Lane, stated since this a P1ym with
lake, Plymouth residents should be using it. He stated that the
boat launch parking area only holds five vehicles; however,
residents %-%,#, the lake could allow parking and launches from
their properties. Mr. Langer stated these types of uses with
outsile boats coming to he lake will encourage Eurasian Water
Mi 1 foi 1, which has not yet been found in the lake, It is his
desire that the lake bie kept quiet.. Mr. Langer stated only one
resident living on the lake uses it fo water skiing,
Marsha Videen, 1151 Kingsview Lane, objected to the use of
Parkers Lake for a wafer ski course bemuse more moats would
crowd the lake and create an increased risk of col 1 i si nn. Shp
stated a quiet lake world serve more people.
Mayor Bergman suggested that a meeting be held with area
residents to determiner whit long-term and short-term use of the
lake they desire.
MOTION was made by Mayor Bergman, seconded by Councilmember
Ricker, to direct staff to provide existing regulations on other
lakes in the City and to draft proposed regulations par Parkers

Director Moore stated as part of the Bass Creek Business Park,
Opus Corporation is proposing to construct threre storm rater
quality ponds in order to reduce nutrient loading before the
water from the site is discharged in the DNR protected wetland
areas. These ponds were proposed by the developed ;n the EIS
and are required in order to reduce the impacts on the
environment as a result of the development. The developer has
now requested that these storm water quality ponds be included
as part of the public improvements. The ponds woula require
periodic maintenance in order to remove the accinnul a ted
sediments. ThQ only storm Water going into the ponds will be
from the land which is included as part of the development and
the ponds are not a part of the City's overall requi,•ef; storm
drainage system,

improvement. Nr. Rockenstein stated it would re an advantage to
he developer to pay for the ponding improvements thrt ..iqh i
special assessinent and the long-term maintenance woul be of
mutual 1^.terest and benefit to the developer and the City.
