Mr. Crain presented the recommendatior of the
HRA: that the Council accept the report, prcceed
with purchase of the site in downtown. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

Attorney Thomson stated that the Contract for

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.

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.
Counc ilmember Vasiliou asked Attorney Thomson for
an opinion as to whether the original petition
submitted by the League of Plymouth Voters meets
the intent of the new legislation, and whether
concerns expressed by other Councilmembera about
the validity of the petition would affect his
opinion.

that the petition previously submitted by the

is unverified and contains some duplicate names
and names of non—Plymouth residents. However,
she does not object to the petition being
declared adequate for purposes of the petition
requirement.

by Councilmember Hellivell, to conduct a special
election by mail ballot to determine whether the
majority of voters support Ordinance No. 90-41.
Councilmember Vasiliou stated that putting the
question of changing the election year to the
voters is good because the Council doe3n't know
if residents want a change. The Council does
know that residents want the right to vote on
whether an election is held in 1991.
Manager Millis stated that tae state law provides
for the option o f mail balloting. The Council
must adopt a resolution at least 90 days prior to
