It would end in a cul-de- sac, rather than be extended. The Metropolitan Council has informed the City that they will not formally comment on the concept of amending the Transportation Plan to delete Fernbrook Lane between County Road 6 and Gleason Lake Drive until the Council has officially approves a Transportation Plan Amendment contingent on approval by the Metropolitan Council. Director Dillerud stated the Metropolitan Council's decision would be based on the impact on the regional transportation system. In this case the impact on 1-494. He recomicended that the City Council direct staff to contract a traffic study and to direct the Planning Commission to schedule a public hearing to consider the amendment, once the traffic study has been prepared. He stated that some reguidina has been done in this area since the last traffic study was conducted which should result in a lesser impact than previously determined. Councilmember Helliwell asked how much this type of study would cost and how long it would take to complete. She believes that if the City Council has doubts about whether the road is needed, the study should be conducted. Public Works Director Moore estimated the study would cost under $5,000 and take about two weeks. The consultant will need to rerun the computer model without this segment of roadway, taking into account the land use guiding amendment. Director Dillerud stated the Transportation Plan amendment will not receive consideration from the Metropolitan Council without the traffic study. MOTION was made by Councilmember Edson, seconded by Councilmember Vasiliou, to direct staff to Fernbrook Lane Request for Metropolitan Council review Transportation Plan Amendment Item 8-A of Regular Council Meeting April 20, 1992 Page 135 conduct a traffic study and to direct thePlanningCommissiontoimmediatelyschedule a public hearing to consider the prepared. ent, once the traffic study has Councilmember Tierney requested that the Planning Commission also consider whether grating d aethe l request to not extend the roadway act on precedent for future requeststthe safety other City L.reets? and the public concerns. She noted that the Council recently denied a similar cul-de-sac request. Councilmember Edson stated that the Fernbrook Lane request is different in that there is an alternative access to the neighborhood; not a single access as in the Rosewood Lane situation. Motion carried, five ayes. Director Dillerud explained the appeal of Jerome and Betty Begin from the Board of zoningAdjustmentsandAppealsrulingofdenial to increase the sign fromrea of ft. ator200t q. ng ft. for business sig in Center located at the Cottonwood Plaza Shopping 3900 vinewood Lane North. Staff recommends denial of the appeal - Barbara DeMars, Leasing Agent for Cottonwood Plaza, requested that the Council grant the appeal. The Cottonwood Plaza tenants feel they need more visibility through a lager identify freestanding sign. The wall sig each buoiness are not all visible from County Road 9. Through customer surveys, nts concluded that people aren't aware of what is ir. the center. She stated the Rockford Road Plata sign is 300 sq. ft. and requested a 200 sq. sign be approved for Cottonwood Plaza. Ms. DeMars stated that if all businesses in the would center were listed on the existing sig ne is a wellnduedtole. She feelsbethedistancefromsthe center to as County Road 9. Brad Hanson, 3900 Vinewood Lane, stated the businesses in Cottonwood Center are at a disadvantage due to the size of the sign. The Appeal of the BOZA Ruling for Jerome and Betty Begin 03-01-92) Item 9-B e Regular Council Meeting April 20, 1992 Page 136 businesses across County Road 9 in Rockford Road Plaza enjoy greater visibility. Dave Brewer, 3900 Vinewood Lane, spoke in favor of the appeal. He stated that when the Cottonwood Plaza pylon sign was installed, adjacent properties were vacant. Ryaw those businesses block the sign. Al Sterner, Attract -a -Sign, stated the proposed 200 sq. ft. sign would serve as a directory sign. One tenant, Big Wheel Rossi, has a separate sign and many tenants are not listed on the pylon sign for the center. The business names need to be largar on this sign because the center abuts a county road. Councilmember Helliwell asked if the Big Wheel Rossi sign would be removed if this request were granted. She asked if tenants would rec Ove equal consideration for spare on the sign, and if the business names would be readable from the roadway. Mr. Sterner responded that the lettering would be slightly larger. He stated that some tenants have been granted larger sign areas by the property owner. Councilmember Vasiliou compared the request to Waterford Plaza where only some of the businesses are listed on the pylon sign. The Council recantly allowed a 10 percent variance for the Waterford wall signs due to the distance of the businesses from Highway 55. Director Dillerud stated that the Board of Zonina minutes indicate that Big Wheel Rossi intends to retain their entire sign area, Me. DeMars stated that Big Wheel Rossi was given verbal approval four years ago to install the eign. The owner is now negotiating with Big Wheel in an effort to amend the signage for the entire center. The owner would reimburse Big Wheel Rossi for the cost of their sign and share the cost of the pylon sign with the tenants. Regular Council Meeting April 20, 1992 rage 137 Mayor Bergman stated it is the owner's discretion to allocate signage to its tenants and not a function of the Council. Councilmember Vasiliou stated this is a neighborhood center and generally a center of this size is not designed to attract customers from a distance. She suggested that businesses in the center may need to do additional advertising and may want to consider better wall signage. She fee13 it is somewhat difficult to locate individual :ausinesses once you are in the Cottonwood Plaza parking lot. Councilmember Helliwell asked what determines the size of allowable signage. Director Dillscud stated the quantitative factor is if a shopping center in a B-2 district has multiple approaches. A pylon sign is allowed for each approach that is a thoroughfare street. The Planning Commission has discussed whether to recommend that the City adopt a graduated sign size where there is a relationship between the square footage of the shopping center and the size of the sign. Also, in the case of a planned unit development, signage is negotiated. Councilmember Edson expressed concern about increasing the size of pylon signs. In areas where there are a lot of pylon signs listing many businesses, it +.s difficult to read. He would be in favor of approving an increase in the allowable square footage of wall signage to give more visibility of individual businesses. Councilmember Vasiliou ccncurred, stating that this is a very busy intersection and it may be irresponsible to allow an increaso in signage. MOTION was made by C,--•incilmember %dson, seconded by Councilmember Vasiliou, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 92-237 APPROVING AN APPEAL OF THE BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENTS AND APPEALS RULING FOR JEROME AND BETTY BEGIN, 390(- VINENOOD LANE NORTH COTTONNOOD SHOPPING CENTER) (03-01-92), with the pylon signage to remain at 96 sq. ft., but with an increase from 5 to 10 percent in the maximum allowable wall signage. MQL=N-.%3.7 APPROVING APPEAL FROM THE BOZA RULING FOR COTTONWOOD SHOPPING CENTER SIGNAGE (03-01-92) Item 8-B Regular Council Meeting April 20, 1992 Page 138 Councilmember Helliwell noted that the adjacent businesses block the pylon signage for Cottonwood Shopping Center. She would support increasing the allowable area of the pylon sign to something less than the requested 200 sq. ft. Ms. DeMara asked if they would be allowed to install an additional pylon sign, or additional square footage on the County Road 9 pylon in lieu of a pylon on Vinewood Lane, once Vinewood Lane is constructed. Director Dillerud stated the Zoning Ordinance standards would have to be checked at the time the road is constructed to determine the impact on signage for the center. SUBSTITUTE MOTION was made by Councilmember Vasiliou to defer the request until it is determined whether the Big Wheel Rossi sign will be removed. Mayor Bergman stated that whether an agreement is reached between the owner and tenant is irrelevant to this request. Motion died for lack of a second. Councilmember Edson asked when the Planning Commission will complete its review of the graduated size issue. Director Dillerud stated staff intends to report to the Planning Commission on this issue on May 13. Original motion carried on a roll call vote, five ayes. Public works Director Moore recommended that the Council authorize preparatior of plans and specifications for Alternate No. 3 with the additional requirements of the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District to modify the existing drainage system downstream of 1506 and 1510 Weston Lane. The estimated cost of the project is 835,000. David and Jean Carruthers, 1.510 Weston Lane, atated they have reviewe+ the E!Zan. Mr. Storm Water Drainage - 1506 and 1510 Weston Lane Item 8-C Regular Council Meetino April 20, 1992 Page 139 r Carruthers expressed concern that the Council selected the least expend a alternative itotsolve the problem and qu he best solution. Director Moore stated this alternate would be accomplished through installation of storm sewer piping. The other alternatives involved pumping and would have relied on a).ectricity. He stated that at the 100 year flood level there would still be water in the rear vards of these properties even after the improvements. Mr. Carruthers stated their yard has sinkholes and deep swales that are due to the drainage problems last year. Director Moore stated the City would furnish the material for the property owners eto use to fill the sinkholes in their yard; property owners cannot fill the shallow drainage swale which is midway between the properties. He stated the sinkholes are likely the result of thevegetation original marshy property and decaying which was more pronounced during a wet year. The Carruthers' briefly discussed concerns with respect tc disclosure if they sell their home. Manager Willis sucgested that they indicate that the problem existed in the past but, if the alternative to improve drainage is successful, has been corrected.

Councilmember Vas;liou asked if the silos are technically of historical significance. Director Blank responded that they do not qualify for designation on the National Historic Register, but they are of historical significance to Plymouth. Councilmember Edson stated his primary concerr with retaining the structures is safety. There is no effective way of preventing people from climbing the structures. Director Blank stated signage prohibiting climbing would be posted and the silos would be lit from an adjacent parking let, but he agreed that the potential for climbing is there. He stated that the silos could be removed at any time in the future if problems do occur. The Council discussed the potential hazards and nuisances involved with retaining the structures including safety and graffiti.

Councilmember Vasiliou stated she is unsure whether the City should be involved in training, but the server licensing seems reasonable. She stated that servers in Bloomington welcom4d the licensing from the standpoint that they previously were unsure if they had the ler,al right to refuse service. Councilmember Edson stated licensing liquor servers would provide additional accountability and make people aware of problems inherent in liquor establishments. Councilmember Helliwell suggested that staff present a report on this topic to the Council for discussion. Councilmember Vasiliou st"ted the Wayzata Plymouth Chemical Health Commission is irterested in participating in Music in Plymouth. She asked Civic League member Edson to carry this message to the Music in Plymouth planning committee. Councilmember Tierney stated that at a previous Council meeting when the Council considered the Forster property acquisition for park purposes, she felt left out of the process. She stated there seemed to be an understanding among three members of the Council, and no communication was provided to the Councilmembera from FRAC Council Coordinating Representative (CCR) Edson that there were concerns with the acquisition. CCR Reports Item 8-J Licensing for Liq..jr Servers - Wayzata Plymouth Chemical Health Commission Music in Plymouth Communication Concerns - CCR Role Regular Council Meeting April 20, 1992 Page 145 She stated that the Council will be considering another acquisition at a fuL"re meeting. Before that occurs, the Council should discuss what communication should be occurring between PRAC and the Council and the role of the CCR. She stated that in the Forster property consideration, had the PRT.0 members known there was some problem witn the acquisition from Councilmembers' perspectives, PRAC members may have attended the Council meeting to share their reasons for supporting the acquisition. She stated that perhaps PRAC was left out of the process also. Councilmamber Edson stated that FRAC considered the Forster acquisition in 1991. The Council directed staff to negotiate the purchase with the Forsters so PRAC was not involved further. He stated that he believes the role of the CCR is to facilitate communication between the Commission and the Council. He stated that a good time to discuss communication concerns and expectations of PRAC is at the joint meeting scheduled for May 14. An issue that should be discussed at that meeting is the timing of capital improvement projects. PRAC considers and recommends capital improvements in June or July. The Council considers those impro•Tements almNst a year later. In the Fc.*ster situation, the Cajital Improvement Program (CIP) was amended by staff and the Council months after PRAC made its recommendation. PRAC did not have an opportunity to discuss tie priorities established in the revised CIP. Councilmember Vasiliou stated that PRAC has been instructed not to look at issues from a financial perspective, but rather from a community need perspective. Her vote to not acquire the Forster property was made for financial reasons and related to access to the property. Councilmember Helliwell agreed with Councilmember Tierney that there was a communications breakdown on the Forster property issue. Councilmember Tierney stated the Council should evaluate this issue to determine where ccmmunieat;on improvements can be made.

Councilmomber Tierney suggested that the Council direct PRAC to consider the issue of athletic association equipment storage. She stated that according to a survey recently conducted by staff, many cities are doing something to accommodate storage of associations' equipment. PRAC could meet with the various athletic associations to determine their needs and to locate property or a building for sufficient storage. Councilmember Vasiliou asked if the athletic associations feel this is a need. The City should not create a need by initiating the issue if it is not of concern to the associations. Councilmember Tierney stated it has historically been a concern of the associations and the Council should communicate with FRAC and the associations about the issue. She stated she will discuss the issue with athletic associations.
