Plymouth from the HRA, and direct the HRA to proceed with development of preliminary plans and specifications. He :ggested that the HRA would then develop financial pro forma, conduct a public hearing, and prepare a final recommendation_ to the City Council. Mayor Bergman stated that a topic at a recent conference he attended Was enabling seniors to live independently as long as possible through such things as funding needed services or freezing property valuations. Relative to the HRA recommendation, he suggested that a aeries of public hearings should be held immediately after acceptance of the report by the Council but before plans are prepared so aeniora can be part of the process. Councilmember Helliwell asked about the purchase of the site in downtown Plymouth. Mr. Crain stated that Hennepin County has extended the City's deadline to August 1 to resolve the issue of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBC) funds relative to the downtown Plymouth site. Director Tremere stated that the CDBC program rules provide that if money is taken from one program, it can be captured by t.ne same community for another eligible program. If this site were sold, the City could identify other CDBG eligible activities for use the funds. if that were not done, the money would go to Hennepin County to be redistributed for CDBC activities throughout the County. MOTION was made by Councilmember Ricker, seconded by Councilmember Helliwell, for the City to acquire the land from the HRA. Counciimember Zitur stated that program is necessary and should Many seniors in Plymouth cannot in their homes, and they should out of the City fnr housing. 0 he feels this move forward. afford to remain not have to move Regulax Council. Meeting June 3, 1991 Page 196 Mayor Bergman asked Mr. Crain for his opinion of the appropriateness of the downtown Plymouth site for senior housing. He alsc questioned the ramifications of using CDBG funds for the project. Mr. Crain stated he is very enthusiastic about this site because of the recent surrounding development. There is a need for this type of housing i.n the western suburbs. Purchase of the property by the City would remove the CDBG constraints and requirements and provide more flexibility for construction, and operation. If the CDBG guidelines were in effect, the City could not prioritize residency for Plymouth residents or have flexibility in establishing income/rent levels. Mayor Bergman asked how the unite would be subsidized. Mr. Crain stated that the amount of a specific subsidy has not yet bear addressed, but use of a separate HRA property tax levy would be required. Manager Willis suggested that the City Council meet with the HRA to further disnues the project, particularly 1zhe subsidy levels and design issues. He 6tated that Ehlers an•t Associates could be asked to further defin" their financial projections based on the survey results. Councilmember Vasili.ou stated that she will support moving forward with purchase of the property be,:ause, should the senior project not be developed, the City will stall have a marketable site. She stated it is vital that tho ARA and Council discuss financing cad subsic y levels as soon an possible and before the project proceeds. Councilmembers Ricker and Helliwell withdrew the motion. MOTION was made by Councilmember Ricker, seconded by Councilmember Vasiliou, to accept the report on the market survey of senior hcusing interest in the City of Plymouth.

Motion carried on a roll call vote, five ayes. Mayor Bergman opened an assessment hearing on Project No. 025, 25th Avenue Watermain, at 8:03 p.m. Manager Willis stated the project consisted of the extension of watermain from the existing watermain at 150 feet east of the intersection of Lancaster Laae and 25th Avenue to 25th Avenue and Kilmer Lane. Public Works Director Moore stated that five lots are proposed to be assessed for the improvement at this time, although a sixth lot will eventually benefit from this watermain. It is proposed that 1/6 of the cost be assessed against the sixth lot when City Mater is needed to replace the existing private well. Director Moore stated the final project cost of 18,284 is substantially more than the engineer's estimate of $11,000. The engineer estimated a low project coat assuming that the watermain work would have been bid relatively low, since it was included with the contract for the 1990 Street Reconstruction Project. However, the watermain line item in the contract was not as low as expected. He noted two other areas where watermain was constructed in the last few years. The watermain assessments in Glen Echo Ponds 2nd Addition were 4,062 per lott in Tammy Middlemist Addition 3,129 per lot. The proposed assessment for this project of $3,047.42 per lot appears reasonable. Minutes Item R6 Assessment Hrg. Project 025 Item 7-. Regular Council Meeting Tune 3, 1991 Page 199 Councilmember vasiliou asked why the bid was so high given the present positive bidding climate. Director Moore stated that this project was bid over a year ago, and the assumption made by the engineer that the contractor would submit a lower bid because it was part of the larger reconstruction project was incorrect. He does not believe, however, that the City would have achieved savings by bidding this work as a separate project. N3chael Ellis, 9610 25th Avenue North, stated his objections to the proposed assessment. He stated that he and four other property owners were opposed to the project before it was app No additional hydrants have been installed as a result of the project, and he questioned the length of the installed services. He stated a 64 percent difference ratween the estimate and bid amount is excessive and the bid should not have been awarded. He asked why the assossments were being divided equally, rather than spread on a front footage basis. He requested that the Council delay adoption of the assessments until these questions are answered. Jim Cashman, stated he owns Lots 7, 8, and S, which are proposed to be assessed for the project. He already has water service on Lot 9, and asked that the assessment be deferred until such time as the property is subdivided. He has no present plans to subdivide the property. The hearing was closed at 8:17 p.m. MOTION was made by Mayor Bergman, seconded by Councilmember Vasiliou, to refer these assessments to the special Assessment Committee, to direct staff to obtain the answers to the residents' questioner and to notify all affected residents of the meeting in writing. Motion carried, five eyes - 0 Regular Council Meeting June 3, 1991 Page 200 Jane Fredberg, 13112 Sunset Trail, presented a petition signed by area residents finding no objection to her family keeping three dogs at 13112 Sunset Trail. She asked that the Courcil amend the City Code and Zoning Ordinance to allow three dogs per household under certain conditions without a kennel license, or to grant an exception to the ordinance. in hoz case. Mayor Bergman stated he did not support allowing more dogs. That would increase existing problems with enforcement and would likely result in more requests for waivers. Comacilmember Helliwell stated she would prefer to consider requests on a case -by -cava basis rather than amend the ordinance. MOTION was made by Councilmember Helliweli, seconded by Councilmember Ricker, to waive the kennel requirements for Jane Fredberg based on her lot size and the fact that her yard is fenced. Ia the event she no longer has one of her three dogs, the maximum allowable number of dogs will be two. The City Attorney explained the purpose of the proposed Code amendment. Councilmember Zitur stated he would not favor a change in the ordinance to thre9 doge; however, he will support this motion because of the large, fenced yard. MOTION carried on a roll call vote, Helliwell, Ricker, and Zitur ayes; Vasiliou and Bergman nays. Director Tremere presented the RPUD Amendment and RPUD Final Plan/Final Plat for the "Churchill Farms" Subdivision located north of County Road 24 and east of the went city limits (90009) (RPUD 90-1). The Planning Commission unanimously voted to recommend approval of the request. A Development Contract has been prepared by staft and returned unsigned by the developer. 0 Ordinance Amending City Code and Zoning Ordinance Regarding Kennel Licenees and Kennels (91016) Lundgren Bros. Construction - Churchill Farms Subd. (90009) Item B -B Regular Council Meeting June 3, 1991 Page 201 Michael Pfl3um, Lundgren Bros. Construction, reviewed his letter dated May 28, 1991, which described the reasons for not signing the Development Contract. He requested that the CouncJ! allow placement of a sidewalk within the right-of-wsy for Zircon Lane North and allow a flagpole/fence/lighting unit within the traffic entrance island. He also requested that the requirement for temporary cul-de-sacs at Xanthus Lane south of 32nd Avenue be deleted. HR ,tated that the homeowner association would be responsible for maintonanee and liability of the improvements in the entrance island, and he cited other examples of similar median structures in the City. He believes that the sidewalk should be allowed within the right-of-way of Zircon Lane so that it would be constructed closer to the curb. Resideints would be more likely to maintain the boulevard area if it is near the curb. Mr. Pflaum stated the requirement for temporary cul-de-sacs an Xanthus Lane would negatively impact the development and possibly inhibit the sale of two of the lots. Lundgren Bros. believes snow plowing can be dons without the cul-de-sacs. Councilmember Vbsiliou stated that other developments have been approved by the Council thus including fencing and median improvements and this request is no different. Counnilmember Helliwell stated she will also support the requests as long as public safety and snow plowing can occur. MOTION was made by Councilmember Vasiliou, seconded by Councilmember Zitur, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 91-292 APPROVING AMENDMENT TO RESIDENTIAL PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT PLAN CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR LUNDGREN BR0S.

Public Works Director Moore presented the staff report on the alignment of Northwest Boulevard from 45th Avenue to 56th Avenue, City Projects No. 011 and 106. He recommended that the Council determine that the appropriate design speed for Northwest Boulevard at the Soo Line Railroad is 45 mph and that the railroad crossing Le a separated grade (bridge) crossing for oafety reasons. He also recommended that the Council adopt the resolution authorizing the receiving of bids of that portion of Northwest Boulevard between 54th Avenue and 56th Avenue. Councilmember Vasiliou stated that area residents have raised questions regarding this project, and have indicated that conflicting information has been received from various regulatory agencies. She questioned the status of the project. 7 RRQOLuTION 91-293 APPROVING FINAL PLAT FOR CHURCHILL FARMS - LUNDGREN BROS. (90009) APUD 90-1) Item 8-B REsoLuTiON 91-294 SETTING CONDITIONS TO BE MET PRIOR TO FILING Item 8-B REE L•UTION 91-295 ADOPTING ASSESSMENTS - PROJECT NO. 119 Item 6-B Northwest Blvd. Alignment north of the Soo Line Railroad Item 8-0 Regular Council Meeting June 3, 1991 Page 203 Director Moore reviewed the background material in the staff report. He stated that the Council previously authorized plans and specifications on this portion of Northwest Boulevard, as well as the connection with Schmidt Lake Road, to Pineview Lane. An Environmental Assessment Worksheet was prepared and the City is in the process of applying for Corps of Engineers and Department of Natural Resources (DNR) permits for the necessary wetland encroachment. The City has received a letter from the DNR requesting additional information. DNR permission was previously granted for encroachment into the wetland immediately north of the Soo Line Railroad tracks as part of the permit approval for construction of Northwest Boulevard adjacent to Base Lake Heights 4th Addition. John Stemper, 12925 54th Avenue North, presented a petition from 136 residents of Bass Lake Heights 4th Addition, Bass Lake Woods Addition, and Meadows of Base Lake expressing concern about the selected A -D alignment and the impacts on the environment. The petition requested that the Council consider the A-E alignment alternative. He stated the residents also support a speed limit of lose than 45 mph at the Soo Line tracks. Mr. Stamper stated that the ANR was unaware of the wildlife area north of the Soo Line when the Environmental Assessment Worksheet (SAW) was completed. The SAW also did not take into consideration that the A-E alignment would have lees noise impact on the environment. Mr. Stamper stated that residents were informed by staff that the 45 mph speed limit is necessary because Northwest Blvd. will be a minor arterial street. He stated there are other minor arterial streets in the City with a 35 or 40 mph limit.. He stated that the environment and assumptions under which the A -D alignment was chosen have changed dramatically over the last 10 years, and he requested that the Cit} reevaluate the A-E alignment alternative. He stated significant tree removal has occurred as a result of the project. Regular Council Meeting June 3, 1991 Page 204 Director Moore stated the trees were removed for the roadway grading and on currently platted land. Douglas Becker, 5405 Sycamore Lane North, etated he purchased his home at the northeast corner of 54th Avenue and Sycamore Lane in August, 1988. When he .spoke with a city official about the grade of future Northwest Boulevard, he was informed that the grade would be identical to the existing cul-de-sac. Recently he has learned the grade of the road will be higher. He stated that the city staff informed him that the home should not have been built as a walk -out or with a storage area under the garage, based on the future elevation of Northwest Boulevard. Mr. Becker provided a copy of a plan for his home, which he stated was approved by the City, showing the walkout and garage storage area. He stated that the proposed change in direction of drainage water flow will require a Swale in his rear yard. The corner of his rear yard would then have to be dropped four feet from its present elevation. Jerry Surprenant, 12345 54th Avenue North, stated that the Council should reevaluate alternative alignment A -L. Vicky Hubbell, 12935 54th Avenue North, stated that when she purchased her lot, she was informed that her lot would overlook future Northwest Blvd. Ms. Hubbell stated that she called city staff various times over the last 2 1%2 years for information on this p::oject and informed the City of her concerns relating to wet basement, new sod, and tree removal. She questioned whether the A -D alignment is the most environmentally sound, and stated concerns about the safety issue of access to Baas Lake Playfield unto a 45 mph roadway. She stated that the proposed bridge at the Soo Line tracks. will not alleviate the at - grade crossing dangers at Larch Lane and Pineview Lane. She encouraged the Council to consider the A-E alternative and to provide the residents with all the facts about. the project. Philip Fallt, 5375 Pineview Lane North, stated that he would like the project to proceed on 0 Regular Council Meeting June 3, 1991 Page 205 schedule and encouraged the Council to complete the project as soon as possible. He stated that there is a lot of traffic that should be travelling on the new Northwest Blvd. Tom Larkey, 12820 50th Avenue North, presented pictures of his lot before and after the roadway construction. He noted that many trees were removed causing a loss of the natural noise barrier. David Barstad, 12915 54th Avenue North, stated that the environmental impacts of the alignments remain unanswered. He urged the Council to evaluate the A-E alignment. Mr. Barstad stated that various environmental organisations have been contacted by area residents and are interested in this issue. He stated that an Environmental Impact Statement should have been conducted on the entire 2+ mile length of Northwest Blvd., rather than an Environmental Assessment Worksheet on only a portion of the roadway. Mr. Barstad stated that he has requested by letter to the DNA that a public hearing be conducted on any and all permit applications that are still pending for the Northwest Blvd. projects. The letter requests that any permit applications now under consideration or any future applications not be granted until such public hearings are held. Mr. Barstad stated that residents have not received adequate information on this project. John Coyne, 5515 Sycamore Lane, stated that he previously contacted the City regarding the loss of trees on his property due to Project 416. He had also requested an Environmental Impact Statement and information about noise levels at this location. A letter from then Mayor, Virgil Schneider, indicated that an EIS was not needed. Mr. Coyne stated he is frustrated that the City planned the project in segments because it prevented a true picture of the entire length of the project. Mr. Coyne showed pictures depicting the lose of trees in his rear yarde and stated that citizens have not received accurate information about the pzOJ6ct. 0 Regular Council Meeting June 3, 1991 Page 206 Mr. Coyne suggested that the City Council appoint a task force of area residents, city officials, and area developers to study and resolve the issues raised by the residents. Sharon Arrowood, 4985 Rosewood Lane North, stated she was representing the Meadows of Bass Lake. She r.sxed that the Council further review the A-E alignment alternative. MOTION was made by Councilmember Vasiliou, seconded by Mayor Bergman, to establish a task force to study hhe Northwest Boulevard alignment issues. Councilmember 7.itur stated that the current A -D alignment will provide access to the proposed Bass Lake Plryfisld. He as:%ed how access would be made if the alignment were to be changed. He also expressed concern about the safety issue due to the existing on -grade Soo Line Railroad crossing. There needs to be a through access for emergency vehicles to get to the area north of the Soo Line tracks. A bridge on Northwest Boulevard at the Soo Line Railroad would accomplish this. The Councilmembera discussed other abutting developments where preliminary plat++ have ;een approved. These devalopments are baeed on the A- D alignment. Mayor Bergman stated that the project needs to move forward in some manner to serve the now deve.Lopments. He suggested that perhaps additional wetland areas could be ostabliohed to mitigate the effecta of encroachment of the urrant alignment. Mo::iun to amend the main motion was sada by Courcilmember Ricker, seconded by Councilmember Vasiliou, to provide the following guidelines to the Cask forces 1) Provisions must Le made for an I-494 Interchange; 2) The Sao Line Railroad crossing and relatyd safety issued must be considered; 3) The traffic levels and disbureemnnt of traffic from the new commercial development at I-494 and C.R. 9 must be 0 Is Regular Council Meeting June 3, 1991 Page 207 considered; and 4) The task force report must be completed within 90 days. The Council discussed the purpose and membership of the proposed task force. Attorney Thomson stated that the next agenda item is a request from Gonyea Land Company for final plat approval in th',s area. He asked if the Northwest alvd. alignment could affect this development. Director Moose stated, yes; but, the area that could be affected is proposed as an outlot on the final plat:. Attorney Thomson stated that state law requires that if a develaper submits a final plat application that is consistent with the approval given to the preliminary plat, the Council has only 60 days to act upon it. This could pose a problem. SUBSTITUTE MOTION was made by Councilmember vaeiliou, seconded by Councilmember 2itur, that the City Council and staff hold an informational meeting with all interested residents of the immediate neighborhood as soon as possible. Motion carried, five ayes. staff was directed to contact David Barstad, John Coyne, Phil Fallt, and the homeowner associations with the date of the information meeting. Director Tremors stated that the Planning Commission recommended approval of the request of Gonyea Land Company for final plat and development contract for "Curtis Lake Addition", located betwusn I-494 and West Medicine Lake Drive (Vorthweat Blvd.) at 45th Avenue North 90105), subject to certain conditions. A Development Contract has been prepared by staff and was returned unsigned by the petitioner. Ralph H. Tully and Jahn 'Limo represented Gonyea Land Company. Mr. Tilly referred to the May 28, 1991? letter to the City from his client and stated that the Deve.lopme!n•' Contract requires the Gonyea Land Curtis Lake Item 8-C Co. Addn. 0 0 Regular Council Meeting June 3, 1991 Page 208 signature of the mortgagee as the developer. The mortgagee has objected to signing this agreement. He also requested that the assessment requirements for Northwest Boulevard be amended because the street is not needed to start the project, and that the assessments be allowed to be paid after the sale of each individual lot. He also objected to the requirement that the owner designate drainage maintenance requirements for ponding. He stated this pond is a fu"ction of the City to maintain and the developer should not be required to maintain the pond, particularly after the lots are all sold. Also, a portion of the pond drainage area is not part of this plat. Director Moore responded to each item and recoamendsd no changes. He stated that the mortgagee should be included in the Development Contract. The City has experienced previous situations where the developer has gone bankrupt and the mortgagee then owns the development. This candition protects the future owners in the development. He stated that the City Code requires that the developer provide a 25 percent guarantee for payment of arecial assessments. In this case, it Mould be for the first two years of assessments. E1e staged that pond maintenance is a requirement of the Shingle Creek Watershed. This is similar to the pond maintenance requirements for the Base Creek Business Park. The Contract provides that the developer is responsible for restoring the pond to its original condition and depth at the conclusion of development and thereafter the property owners in the plat are responsible for maintenance. Attorney Thomson stated that the mortgagee could sign an acknowledgment, rather than the Development Contract, indicating that they understand the terms of the Contract. The appropriate form could be worked out, as it has in a few other c.d3e8, if the Council so decides. 9 Regular Council Meeting June 3, 1991 Page 209 The developer stated that he would prefer trat the City assess the individual properties far continued maintenance of the pend. Attorney Thomson stated that the Contract for Bass Creek Business Park provides that the developer is released from maintenance o:.ligations after three years. The developer is responsible for restoring the pond to its original condition when all of the lots are sold. MOTION was made by Councilmember Ricker, seconded RESOLUTION 91-296 by Councilmember Vasiliou, to adopt RESOLUTION APPROVING FINAL NO. 91-296 APPROVING FINAL PLAT AND DEVELOPMENT PLAT FOR CURTIS CONTRACT FOR GONYEA LAND COMPANY FOR "CURTIS LAKE LAKE ADDITION ADDITION" LOCAT-3D BETWEEN I-494 AND WEST MEDICINE 90105) LAKE DRIVE (NORTHWEST BOULEVARD) PT 45TH AVENUE Item 8-C NORTH (90305), allowing the mortgagen to sign an acknowledgment, approved by the City Attorney as to form and content, rather then the Development Contract.

There ql:e Item 8-K also additional deducts which the Council may accept. 0 0 Regular Council Meeting June 3, 1991 Page 210 Director Blank stated the loll combined total bid was submitted by Shingobee Builders in the amount of $2,826,623.96. This does riot include the option for demolition of the ails. He presented estimated operating cost information for both playfields of $150,000 per year 801000 - Base Lake; $70,000 - Parkers Lake). Manager Willis presented further five-year operating projections for both parks. He stated that g+.ven the State's financial condition, reduced aide to cities, and fixed levy limits, he is recommending that all bids be rejected. The Cit} does not have new sources f revenue, from which to fund new operating expenses. Councilmember vasiliou asked Finance Director Hahn to comment on whether there is a source for these funds. Finance Director Hahn stated that reserve monies from other funds could be used; however, he recommended against it. fie suggested that park facilities maintenance costs should be funded out of the General Fund, even if initial construction costs a:e funded elsewhere. Councilmember Ricker atated that budgeting is a process of prioritizing revenues, and it is his opinion that the City has oufficient funds for essential services and can reallocat& resources. MOTION was made by Counc:ilmember Ricker. seconded by Councilmember Helliwell, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 91-299 AWARDING BID FOR THE CONyTPUCTION CT PARKERS LAKE AND BASS LAKE PLAYFIELDS, awarding to Shingobee Builderm in the rmount of 52,826,623.9'S, and to establish a cash reserve fund of $500,000, from the Park Dedication Fund, to as[,ist with operating costs of the two facil.%ties .

Public hearings have been held on the development of both playfields and there was only one individual who objected to Parkers Lake Playfield. Counci lmember Helliwell concurred that residents in the Bass Lake area need a p ayfield. There are no current facilities to serve this area. Mayor Bergman stated he is not in favor of t .icing any money away from police or fire to fund par`:s. Counci lmember Vasiliou stated that she supports Bass Lake Playfield, but not Parkers Lake Playfield. Because both playfields are contained in one motion, she must vote no. Motion carried on a roll call vote, Helliwell, Ricker. Zitur ayes, Vasiliou and Bergman nays. Manager Willis reported that Governor Carlson has signed the Secretary of State's election bill -- the bL 11 which contains language revising the means by whici City Councils may change municipal election years. The bill contains a provision which subje2ts any ordinance changing election dates to a public referendim. The new law also applies to any ordinance changing an election schedule adopted by a Council within 180 days prior to the adoption of the new law. This retroactive provision includes the time when the Plymouth City Council's ordinance was adopted and publ i shed. Manr.;er Willis recommended that the Council rescind Ordinance No. 90-41.
