PETITIONS, REQUESTS AND COMMUNICATIONS
Director Moore reported that as required under the rules of the
Environmental Quality Board, the Environmental Assessment
Worksheet (EAW) for Schmidt Lake Road between Zachary Lane and
Saratoga Lane was submitted for review. The EAW was required
because of encroachment into a DNR Protected Wetland. He stated
that the City has received numerous comments from citizens
within the area objecting to the construction of Schmidt Lake
Road. Some of the objections include portions of Schmidt Lake
Road which are not part of this project.
In the late 1960's the City prepared a Land Use Plan and
subsequent comprehensive utility and street plans for the
development of the entire City. A Thoroughfare Plan was adopted

STATEMENT
SCHMIDT LAKE ROAD FROM
ZACHARY TO SARATOGA
Item 6-A
July 18, 1988

in 1972. Because of development within the northern part of the
City a minor arterial roadway, now known as Schmidt Lake Road,
is necessary between County Road 18 on the east and Peony Lane
on the west. As the City has developed, segments of Schmidt
Lake Road have been constructed. The City has received
development proposals on the remainder of the property along the
proposed alignment of Schmidt Lake Road from Zachary Lane to
Saratoga Lane. In order to provide access to this property, it
will be necessary to construct this remaining portion of Schmidt
Lake Road. The proposed extension has been included in the
Thoroughfare Guide Plan and shown at Town Meetings, as well as
publicized in the official paper.
Director Moore stated that all analysis determines that Schmidt
Lake Road is necessary for the development of the proposed land
uses within the northern part of the City. The traffic studies
and the EAW recommend that the most appropriate alignment is
that of Alternate No. 1 as contained in the EAW. This alignment
was used when the two current development proposals were
considered and approved and when the Wild Wings Addition was
approved three years ago. The EAW considered three alternate
alignments, along with a fourth "No Build" alternate. The
preference of Alternate No. 1 was based on future traffic
projections and chosen as the best environmental alternate
because of least impact on the wetlands. The right-of-way for
the proposed Alternate No. 2 was acquired in 1964. The
Alternate No. 1 alignment has been considered since 1979.
Director Moore addressed the following issues relative to
the Alternate No. 1 alignment: inability of County Road 9 and
County Road 10 to serve the full development of this area as the
major east -west roadways, least impact on the wetlands affecting
approximately four percent, no noise standards exceeded at this
time, safety along the roadway to be considered during design,
air pollution is within accepted limits, and property values.
This proposed road location has been publicly known for some
time. The road is proposed as 4 lane, 52' wide, designed for
a 45 mph speed limit. The trail could be replaced as a interim
measure, however, the permanent trail is planned to follow the
railroad line. Director Moore stated that the Comprehensive
Plan proposes sanitary sewer and water improvements between
Pineview and Fernbrook in the years 1990-92. Additional Schmidt
Lake Road extensions would be considered in that same time
frame. He also addressed the need for an interchange at Schmidt
Lake Road and I-494 for which no time frame is established.
Councilmember Sisk noted that based on the length of time the
City has pursued an interchange at County Road 6 and I-494, it
Is possible that an interchange at Schmidt Lake Road and I-494
would not occur until after the year 2000.
In response to a question by Councilmember Zitur, Attorney
Thomson stated that generally if a seller misrepresents material
facts about the purchase of real estate, there are legal
remedies available to the buyers of the property.

Margaret Runnakko, 10440 49th Avenue North, stated that she had
obtained a petition with the names of 360 persons opposing the
destruction of the wetlands. She stated that the road is not
needed, as noted in the City's traffic study, until the year
2010. Ms. Runnakko questioned the assumptions made in the
traffic study, and stated opposition to the expense of the
proposed project. She noted that changes in weather can be
caused by damage done to the environment.
Daniel R. Kelly, 4890 Magnolia Lane, questioned the demographic
trends used to support a need for the road extension. He felt
the projections were made using old data, and saw no need for
concern about east -west traffic.
Director Moore explained that the year 2010 refers to the
planning period for which traffic studies are done, normally
projected for 20 years. He stated that prior to obtaining a
permit for fill, preliminary plans must be submitted for
application to the DNR for the roadway. In the application
process the effects on the wetland will be considered, and the
City required to undertake mitigative measures for effects on
the wetland. Also, the current need for the roadway must be
shown.
Mark Scheidhauer, 4860 Union Terrace, questioned the water
levels used in the EAW.
Director Moore responded that the DNR uses the ordinary high
water mark as established over many years. At the time the
Council considered Wild Wings Addition and construction of that
portion of Schmidt Lake Road in 1981, the City applied for and
received a permit from the DNR for a wetland outlet. Storm
sewer was constructed in accordance with the DNR's outlet
elevation. A mistake was made in their elevation, and the City
has since raised the outlet to comply with the new elevation.
Charles Ekstrom, 10430 49th Avenue North, stated that his
property is one of those impacted most by the proposed project
and suggested that an alternate across the northerly portion of
the wetland be considered.
Director Moore stated that the City must show feasibility of the
preferred alignment with the least impact on the wetland. He
stated that Alternate No. 1 has been determined to have the
least impact, as well as providing access to proposed
developments. Director Moore stated that the roadway
right-of-way is dedicated at no cost by the developers to the
City. He also stated that project cost sharing between the
developers and City has not yet been refined, however, the
developers incur the cost of roadway construction up to a
standard dependent on the adjacent land use. In reponse to a
question by Councilmember Sisk, Director Moore stated that
possible mitigative measures the City may be required to take,
such as increasing wetland or shoreland areas, could be
addressed within the development.

Councilmember Sisk questioned what specific factors led to the
determination that Alternate No. 1 has the least effects on the
wetlands, and requested further information on the possibility
of extending Schmidt Lake Road across the northerly portion of
this area to 51st Street, the traffic making a turn onto Nathan
Lane.
MOTION was made by Councilmember Sisk, seconded by Councilmember
Vasiliou, to table this item until the requested information is
available, including the reasons the northerly extension was
rejected as an alternate.
MOTION to amend was made by Mayor Schneider, seconded by
Councilmember Zitur, to table this item until duly 25, to comply
with State rules and required time limitations.
Councilmember Vasiliou stated she will not be present on
July 25, but would not support this item at this time in any
form.
Motion to amend carried, four ayes, Vasiliou nay.
Main motion as amended carried, five ayes.
Mayor Schneider called a five minute recess. The meeting was
reconvened at 9:00 p.m.
Hans Hagen, petitioner for the Final Plat of Tyrell Seventh Hans Hagen Homes
Addition, questioned Item 6 of the staff report providing for no Final Plat for Tyrell
yard setback variances. Staff verified that this meant no Seventh Addition
additional variances other than provided in the RPUD Plat/Plan Item 6-B
approved in 1979.
Mr. Hagen explained problems that have occurred in placement of
the trail involving the Army Corps of Engineers. He had no
problem with providing an agreement and a financial guarantee
for completion of the trail. However, the trail was in another
phase and the time needed to prepare the documents and estimates
would delay this development.
Councilmember Sisk explained that this plat should not be
delayed if the trail is contained in another phase. He
suggested amending the language of Condition No. 10 to delete
the language "prior to filing this plat" and adding per Mr.
Hagen's suggestion, "prior to any subsequent additions being
approved in this RPUD."
Mr. Hagen also requested that the Council direct staff to issue -
up to three building permits immediately, as all requirements
have been met other than recording at Hennepin County.
RESOLUTION NO. 88-405
MOTION was made by Councilmember Sisk, seconded by Councilmember FINAL PLAT FOR TYRELL

Greg Frank, McCombs Frank and Roos, questioned Condition No. 10 Robert Wachter
in the proposed resolution for Robert Wachter, Dimension Dimension Associates
Associates. He requested that the condition be amended to read (88018)
lot coverage "in excess of 20 percent". Mr. Frank also Item 6-E
requested that the City allow the trail to be located entirely
within the right-of-way, if approved by the County.
Manager Willis noted a potential problem with this trail
location because of the steep terrain.
Mayor Schneider stated that Items 9, 10, and 11 of Resolution
88-299 which approved the Concept Plan for this site have not
been complied with to his satisfaction.
Mr. Frank stated that he had additional information, including a
tree survey on the site, to present to the Council. This
information was not available for Planning Commission review.
MOTION was made by Councilmember Sisk, seconded by Councilmember
Ricker, to refer requests by Robert Wachter, Dimension
Associates, for rezoning, RPUD Preliminary Plan/Plat and
Conditional Use Permit for "Parkview Ridge" (88018) to the
Planning Commission for review of the additional information, as
well as further consideration of whether Council direction
contained in Items 9, 10, and 11 of Resolution No. 88-299 has
been completed. The Commission should also consider the trail
easement questions raised by the petitioner.
Motion carried, five ayes.

Thomas Pepmiller, 1025 State Highway 101, stated that in 1976
the City widened State Highway 101 and constructed a sidewalk in
the boulevard abutting his property. His hedge has been found
to be in violation of the City Code regarding intersection sight
obstruction. Mr. Pepmiller stated that the public improvement
project created the violation, therefore, the City should
replace his hedge to retain the sight and sound barrier for his
property. He stated that he did not deny there is a sight
problem.
Discussion ensued regarding the information in the staff report
and the code requirements.
Councilmember Ricker noted that this is in violation of the City
Code and must be removed. The question is whether the City
should assist in replacement cost.
MOTION was made by Councilmember Ricker, seconded by
Councilmember Sisk, to authorize the City Manager to reimburse
Mr. Pepmiller for the cost of obtaining the necessary comparable
shrubbery to replace that which must be removed from the
sight triangle obstruction area only, for the reason that prior
to construction of State Highway 101 these shrubs were not
obstructing traffic visibility and the curb elevation may have
changed because of the project. Also, Mr. Pepmiller is to
remove the portion of the hedge in violation of the City Code
standards within two weeks.
Motion carried on a Roll Call vote, five ayes.

John Arkell, Arkell Development Corportion, appeared before the
Council to request tax increment financing, land write-down, and
housing revenue bonds for a proposed senior citizen housing
project on the Downtown Plymouth site. He stated that the
housing proposal has been changed from the previous
discussions. Now being proposed are two-story, affordable
moderate income units, with starting rents at $385/month. He
stated that they were unable to stay with the 20 percent lot
coverage requirement with the former cottage unit design.
Councilmember Vasiliou questioned the status of the Chapter 11
action against Arkell Development.
Mr. Arkell stated that he is a minority partner in that action.
Mayor Schneider stated he would like to see information

The Council discussed with representatives of Boarman BID AWARD
Architects, Inc., the results of the bids received for Fire FIRE STATIONS I AND
Stations I and III. The apparent low bidder's base bid exceeds III
the contractor's estimate by $144,297. Item 6-R-1
Mr. Boarman explained several amendments made to the project and
stated that his firm would modify the documents and rebid at no
cost to the City if desired.
July 18, 1988
Page 197
Councilmember Ricker noted that the bids came in exceedingly
over estimate. He suggested elimination of the proposed firing
range in Fire Station III and reduction of the Fire Station I
improvements. Councilmember Ricker felt the appropriate
location for a firing range is in a public safety building.
Mr. Boarman stated that the firing range was part of the
original programatic intent, however, it would be possible to
change order the firing range out of the proposed contract.
Total cost of the firing range, including mechanical costs,
would be in the range of $80,000 - $90,000. The firing range
mechanical can be deleted now, but cannot be added later.
Director Carlquist stated his preference that the firing range
be located away from a public safety building for cost purposes
as well as providing interaction between the fire and police
personnel.
Manager Willis stated that the firing range space will still be
included in the structure, only the equipment and mechanical
would be omitted, unless the project is redesigned. He stated
that the overall design work and effort expended on this project
was sound. Manager Willis was concerned with the bid overrun
but did not believe rebidding would benefit the City. It would
further delay the effort to get the program started. He stated
that the structure will meet the needs of the community for many
years.
Councilmember Zitur stated his support for the firing range in
Fire Station III, however, could support the Fire Station III
construction without the range with the understanding that he
would support the firing range in a future public safety
building.
Councilmember Vasiliou stated that the public voted for a Fire
Station in the bond referendum and was concerned with the
misconception of including public safety features in the Fire
Station and then perhaps holding a referendum for a public
safety building in the future.
Mr. Boarman explained that design alterations causing the
increase over estimate for Fire Station I improvements included
Insulating the entire building not just the small addition. In
response to a question by Councilmember Ricker, Mr. Boarman
stated he could provide no information on energy payback period,
but thought it would be greater than 20 years.
Mayor Schneider questioned the need for relatively aesthetic
improvements suggested for the building.
Councilmember Sisk agreed and could remember no discussions on
the importance of the exterior appearance of Fire Station I
relative to the bidding.

installation of the equipment.
Motion carried on a Roll Call vote, five ayes.
Administrative MOTION was made by Councilmember Ricker, seconded
by Councilmember Zitur, to proceed with the rebid of Fire

The Council reviewed the bids received for a three-year towing
contract.
Manager Willis suggested award to the low bidder, Dick Hughes,
Inc.
In response to a question by Councilmember Ricker, Finance
Director Hahn stated that the company would be required to
provide a performance bond in the amount of $10,000 as provided
in the specifications.
Kristi and Gary Hausladen, 17620 41st Avenue North, encouraged
the Council to award the bid to Valley Towing Service, Inc.,
based on the company's past service to the City,
professionalism, qualified employees, response time, and being a
Plymouth based company.
Attorney Thomson stated that the Council has the choice of
whether to obtain towing service through a bidding process or by
Request for Proposals, however, once a bidding process is chosen
it must be followed. The Council has a legal requirement to
award to the lowest responsible bidder.
Mr. Hughes volunteered to provide the City with a $25,000
performance bond, which the City accepted.

EXPORT NOW WEEK
AUGUST 1-5, 1988
WHEREAS, exporting is the highest priority of the U.S. Department of Commerce,
and it is necessary to encourage American businesses to take advantage of the
unprecendented profit opportunities currently available; and,
WHEREAS, last year the State of Minnesota exported an estimated $3.32 billion
in merchandise, providing approximately 83,000 Job opportunities; and
WHEREAS, a national program designed to stimulate an increase in U.S. export
activity is EXPORT NOW; and,
WHEREAS, EXPORT NOW is an intensive export awareness campaign spearheaded by
the U.S. Department of Commerce and coordinated with Federal, State and local
government agencies and the private sector; and,
WHEREAS, two key objectives of the EXPORT NOW campaign are to increase the
export awareness of potential U.S. exporters, particularly small and
medium-sized businesses, and to channel the various Federal, State and local
resources and capabilities to support these companies; and,
WHEREAS, it is fitting and proper as Mayor to aid in the promotion and growth
of export opportunities for many Plymouth businesses;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Virgil Schneider, Mayor of the City of Plymouth, do hereby
proclaim the week of August 1, 1988, as :
EXPORT NOW WEEK
in the City of Plymouth;
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the

PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The EXPORT NOW program is a priority initiative by President
Reagan and Commerce Secretary C. William Verity. Its purposes
are:
o To make small and medium-sized American businesses more
aware of the critical importance of exporting.
o To encourage these companies to consider exporting their
products and/or services.
o To make more visible the variety of assistance programs
offered by the Commerce Department, other Federal
agencies and State and local organizations, emphasizing
the unified and coordinated effort at all levels of
government to increase our national participation in the
export market.
o To help improve our trade deficit by increasing our
export market.
EXPORT NOW is designed to act as a catalyst in spearheading a
revitalized effort to expand exports -- especially for small and
medium-sized companies that either had abandoned or perhaps never
even tried exporting.
This hard-hitting campaign is fostering partnerships between the
public and private sectors, coordinating resources, strengthening
communications and channeling export assistance services to those
American firms that can realize the profit potential of exporting
and recognize that exporting does make good business sense.

SCHMIDT LAKE ROAD - FROM ZACHARY LANE TO SARATOGA LANE
FINDING OF NO NEED FOR AN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT
CITY PROJECT NO. 705
ACTION REQUESTED: It is recommended that the City Council adopt the
attached resolution making a negative declaration which determines that
there is no need for an Environmental Impact Statement. It is further
recommended that the City Council direct staff to have the consulting
engineer prepare the necessary plans in order to apply for the permit from
the Department of Natural Resources for Schmidt Lake Road.
BACKGROUND: At the July 18 Council meeting the City Council considered the
EAW for Schmidt Lake Road. The Council deferred action on this matter for
one week for additional information on another possible road alignment
through the Industrial Park Area.
The City Council has received the EAW and the material submitted to the
City after the EAW was filed for review. Previous to preparing the EAW,
the City's consultant prepared an Alternative Feasibility Study" for
Schmidt Lake Road. This is the document upon which the EAW was based.
Attached is a copy of that study, which is dated June 18, 1987.
Because of the constraints of developed property which existed in 1987, the
required geometrics of this type of roadway to meet State standards and the
existing wetlands within the area, Alternatives 1, 2, and 3 were identified
for detailed study. In general terms, other alternatives were reviewed,
but were not considered in detail because of their impact upon existing
buildings and development and since they would have similar impacts on the
wetlands.
In order to clarify this, I have had our consulting engineer, Strgar-
Roscoe-Fausch, Inc., review an alignment which is indicated as Alignment
No. 4 as part of the attached letter dated July 21. This alignment crosses
the wetlands on the extension of 51st Avenue. In order to make the
necessary connection with existing Schmidt Lake Road at County Road 18,
k.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT WORKSHEET (EAW) SCHMIDT LAKE ROAD
July 21, 1988
Page Two
this alignment bisects the existing Industrial Area at an approximate 45
degree angle. The curvature at either end of this alignment is the maximum
acceptable to meet the required road design standards. The alignment does
not remove any existing buildings, but would require reconstruction of at
least two parking lots and acquisition of right-of-way through the existing
lots for which the City has approved a general development plan.
Alternate No. 4 has almost the same impact upon the wetlands as Alternate
No. 1. It is for this reason that Alternate No. 4 was not reviewed in
greater detail along with the original June 1987 study.
RECOMMENDATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS: As I stated in my July 14 memorandum, I
recommend that the City Council adopt the attached resolution finding no
need for an Environmental Impact Statement for that portion of Schmidt Lake
Road between Zachary Lane and Saratoga Lane. The resolution bases the
approval on Alternate No. 1. I would further recommend that the City
Council direct City staff to have our consulting engineer prepare the
necessary plans in order that we can submit applications to DNR for
construction of Schmidt Lake Road.

RE: SCHMIDT LAKE ROAD - CITY PROJECT NO. 705
Dear Mr. Moore:
File No. 0870865
city
At your request, we have made a preliminary review of the feasibility of
locating the proposed Schmidt Lake Road in an alignment easterly of the
three alternative alignments previously considered. This alignment is
shown on the attached figure as Proposed Alternative Alignment No. 4.
In general, the location of the Schmidt Lake Road alignment is
constrained by two factors: the existing road termini and the geometric
design requirements. In order to perform its intended function as a
minor arterial street, the proposed Schmidt Lake Road should form a
continuous connection with existing Schmidt Lake Road at Zachary Lane,
and between Saratoga Lane and C.S.A.H. 18. Furthermore, the connecting
roadway must meet design standards mandated by Mn/DOT for maximum degree
of curvature and other geometric features so as to ensure user safety.
The location of Alternative Alignment No. 4 is further influenced by the
presence of existing or proposed buildings as shown on the attached
plan.
These constraints combine to make selection of an alignment which avoids
wetland encroachment a practical impossibility; the main difference
between the various alternative :malign .cants, from a wetlands perspective,
is the degree of wetland encroachment. The approximate area of
currently existing wetland which would be occupied by the proposed
roadway embankment for each of the four alternative alignments would be
as follows:

Mr. Fred G. Moore, P.E. - 2 - July 21, 1988
We note, however, that Alternative Alignment No. 4 would: (a) bisect
pond NH-P7C, and (b) would leave a small fragment of NH-P7A north of the
embankment which, while it would be hydraulically connected to the main
body of NH-P7A, would be of doubtful viability as a wildlife habitat
area due to its small size. In view of these factors, the actual area
of wetland impact would be greater than the 1.5 acres occupied by
embankment, and would in fact be similar to impacts associated with
Alternative Alignment No. 1.
Alternative Alignment No. 4, however, differs significantly from
Nos. 1-3 in other perspectives, i.e., safety and cost.
Alternative Alignment No.4 would require an offset intersection at
Nathan Lane north and south. A single intersection would require a 450
skew and is not acceptable.
Alternative Alignment No. 4 would also be expected to cost significantly
more both initially and over the long term than Nos. 1-3. Right-of-way
acquisition would be a significant expense as outright purchase of a
considerable amount of platted industrial property would be required.
Construction costs would be higher than any of the other alternatives;
Alternative Alignment No. 4 is nearly 1/4 mile longer than the longest
of the other three and would also require reconstruction, at the City's
expense, of parking areas in the Hardware Hank and Northwestern Bell
properties at Nathan Lane. Long-term costs would be greater due to
removal from the City's tax base of areas acquired for right-of-way.
Construction of Schmidt Lake Road on Alternative Alignment No. 4 is
possible from an engineering standpoint; however, based on the above
factors, we do not recommend that the City consider Alternative
Alignment No. 4.
If there are any questions, please contact us.
Very truly yours,

SCHMIDT LAKE ROAD
CITY PROJECT NO. 705
INTRODUCTION
V.
An Alternative Feasibility Study has been ordered by the City
Council for City Project No. 705, Schmidt Lake Road from Nathan.
Lane to Zachary Lane. The purpose of the study is to identify,
document and evaluate the technical feasibility o- possible
alternative alignments for the proposed street.
This memorandum report ,provides a summary of the findings of the
Alzernative Feasibility Study.
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The improvements proposed in this study are consistent with the
City's Comprehensive Plans and are feasible from an engineering
standpoint. The estimated construction cost of the recommended
alternative is $1,637,600.00.
It is recommended that the City establish Alternative
Alignrent No. 1 as the alignment for Schmidt Lake Road through
the project area. Of the three alternatives studied,
Alternative No. 1 will have the lowest construction cost and
will also have the least impact upon wetland areas.
It is further recommended that the City complete an
Environmental Assess-ment Worksheet- (EAvJ) for each Alignment
Alternative to assess environmental concerns in greater
detail.

PROJECT AREA
The proposed street is an extension of existing Schmidt Lake Roadfromitspresentterminus1,500 feet west of Nathan Lane, toZacharyLanefromwhichexistingSchmidtLakeRoadcontinuestothewest (see Figure 1). The area, through which the street isproposedtobebuilt, includes wetlands, open fields, and woodeduplands.
In particular, a large protected wetland area is centrallylocatedbetweentheexistingterminiofSchmidtLakeRoad, andwouldbecrossedbyanyoftheproposedalignmentalternatives. Two smaller protected wetlands would also be affected by theproposedstreet.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
Four alternatives were originally identified; the "no -build" alternative under which the street would not be constructed, andthree "build" alternatives.
The "no -build" alternative has been addressed in the "TrafficNeedsAnalysisforSchmidtLakeRoad" prepared for the City byStrgar-Roscoe-Fausch, Inc. (included in the Appendix). It is theconclusionofthereferencedanalysisthatSchmidtLakeRoadwillbeneededtomaintainanacceptablelevelofserviceinthestudyarea. Therefore, no further consideration has been given to theno -build" alternative in the Feasibility Study.
Three "build" alternatives were considered. In general, thelocationoftheSchmidtLakeRoadalignmentisconstrainedbytwofactors: the existing road termini, and geometric designrequirements. In order to perform its intended function as a
minor arterial street the proposed Schmidt Lake Road must form a
continuous connection with existing Schmidt Lake Road at ZacharyLaneandatornearSaratogaLane. Furthermore, the connectingroadwaymustmeetdesignstandardsmandatedbyMn/DOT for maximumdegreeofcurvatureandothergeometricfeaturessoastoensuremotoristsafety. These constraints make selection of analignmentwhichavoidswetlandencroachmentapracticalimpossibility. Therefore, the three alternative alignmentsdifferfromoneanotherchieflyintheirrespectiveroutesthroughthewetlandarea (see Figure 2).
In each case the length of street to be constructed in thewetlandisdifferent. Since street construction in such areas isdisproportionateincost, this is a major consideration inlocationoftheroadwayalignment.
Alignment Alternative No. 1 would result in a direct continuationoftheexistingSchmidtLakeRoadstreetalignmentfromits

Alignment Alternatives No. 2 and No. 3 would each require removal
of existing street and curb and gutter, and geometric
modifications at the intersection with Saratoga Lane.
Alignment Alternative No. 2 would be built within existing right- of-way; Alternatives No. 1 and No. 3 would each require
acquisition of additional right-of-way. Costs of right-of-wayacquisitionarenotconsideredinthisreport.
COMPARISON OF ALTERNATIVES
Following are preliminary construction cost estimates comparingthethreealignmentalternatives. Comparisons are grouped
according to major construction operations. Right-of-wayacquisitioncostsarenotincluded. For a more complete
breakdown of preliminary estimated quantities and costs refer tothe "Preliminary Construction Cost Estimate" appended to this
report.
A. Grading/Embankment
Preliminary street profiles were prepared for each
alternative alignment. Estimated costs for grading and
embankment construction were developed based on these
preliminary profiles.
Soil borings previously taken along the route of AlternativeNo. 1 indicate the presence of 7' to 16' of peat beneath the
wetland area, with 13' to 14' being a typical average depth. This was assumed to represent conditions throughout the
wetland area. The Feasibility Study envisions removingtheseorganicsoils, which do not provide a suitable
foundation for street or utility construction, and replacingthemwithasuitablebackfillmaterial. Furthermore, astheseareasareDNRprotectedwetlandsandalsoPlymouth
stormwater retention ponds, it is assumed that most of the
excavated materials will not be "wasted" at the site but
rather removed to another site for disposal. Feasibilitydeterminationsandcostestimatesformuckexcavationwere
made in accordance with the above.
Also related to the status of these areas as DNR protected
wetlands and stormwater retention ponds are the issues of
mitigation and compensating storage.
Mitigation, i.e., the creation of wildlife habitat to
replace that lost due to construction, may be required by
the DNR as a condition of issuing the permit required for
construction through the protected wetland areas. The
character and extent of required mitigation measures would
be established by the DNR. For the purposes of the
Feasibility Study it is assumed that such measures would
primarily involve grading or excavation in another part of
the wetland area, in amounts proportional to the surface
area of wetland occupied by the proposed roadway embankment.
Estimated costs of mitigative grading are included in the
Preliminary Construction Cost Estimate.
Compensating storage is ordinarily required to be excavated
elsewhere within a pond area, to make up for that volume of
storm water storage lost due to roadway embankment
construction. In this case, however, it appears that the
recent hydraulic connection of a second wetland (NH-P7C) to
the large central wetland area (NH-P7A) has resulted in a
significant increase in storage capacity over that required
by the City's Comprehensive Storm Drainage Plan.
Furthermore, a secondary result of the mitigative excavation
assumed above would be increased storage capacity which
would offset the decrease due to roadway construction.
Therefore, no separate compensating storage excavation is
assumed to be required for this project.
The estimated costs of grading, excavation, and embankment
construction for the three "build" alternatives are
presented in Table 1. Included in the costs are additives
of 5% for contingency, 15% for design, inspection, and
administration, and 5% for capitalized interest.
B. Paving
A single street section design was prepared based on
preliminary traffic projections for the proposed Schmidt
Lake Road. This design was used as a common basis for
estimated street costs under all three "build" alternatives.
The proposed street section is a 4 -lane, 52 foot wide, 9 ton
design bituminous urban section with concrete curb and
gutter. The preliminary pavement design is as follows:
1-1/2" 2341 Wearing Course
2" 2341 Binder Course
3" 2331 Base Course
10" 2211 Aggregate Base Class 5
12" 2105 Select Granular Borrow
Estimated paving costs are presented in Table 1.
C. Utilities
Preliminary utility designs were prepared for each
alternative alignment. Consideration was given to storm
drainage, sanitary sewer service, and watermain. In all
cases, feasibility determination and cost estimates were
based on the following general criteria or conditions:
Unsuitable soils are assumed to have been removed and
replaced, therefore underground utilities require no
extraordinary means of support.
All utility designs assume full residential development
of the area south and west of Schmidt Lake Road.
Storm drainage is assumed to occur as per the City's
Comprehensive Plan, except where a recent connection
between wetlands implies a minor change in the boundary
between the New Hope Outlet and Shingle Creek drainage
districts in the project area.
Sanitary sewer service is assumed in all cases to be
provided via extension of the existing 10" sewer
currently terminating at Zachary Lane near the Soo Line
Railroad crossing. It should be noted that sanitary
sewer service to the east from Saratoga Lane, discussed
in former reports on Project No. 904, has since been
constructed and is therefore not considered here.
Water service is assumed in all cases to be provided by
extension of 12" trunk watermain as comprehended in the
City's Comprehensive Plan.
See Figures 3, 4 and 5 for preliminary utility layouts.
Estimated utility costs are presented in Table 1.
SUMMARY OF COMPARISON RESULTS
Each of the three alternative alignments considered by this
report is feasible from an engineering standpoint.
Preliminary construction cost estimates for each alternative are
presented in Table 1. Included in the costs are adjustments of
5% for contingency, 15% for design, inspection, and
administration, and 5% for capitalized interest. Costs of right-
of-way acquisition are not included.

ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES
While the Alternative Feasibility Study for Project No. 705 has
considered matters pertaining to cost and practicality of
construction, it is recognized that important environmental
concerns will have significant influence upon the final choice of
alignment for Schmidt Lake Road. In particular the issues of air
and water quality impact, wetland impact, and noise impact on
surrounding neighborhoods must be considered. These issues will
be fully explored during EAW preparation; it is appropriate,
however, to give an overview here.
Air quality impacts of this project are not expected to be
significant. There would be no significant difference in air
quality impact among the alternatives in the area regardless of
which alternative is chosen. Water quality should suffer no long
term adverse impact as a result of the project. Comprehensive
erosion control and sediment containment measures will keep
short-term effects during construction to a practical minimum.
Wetland impacts are unavoidable in this project. As previously
noted, any alignment which meets geometric standards (i.e.,
degree of curve, etc.) required for this class of street will
infringe upon the wetland areas. The task, then, is one of
minimizing such infringement. As Figure 2 clearly shows,
Alternative Alignment No. 1 traverses the least amount of
wetland. Alignment No. 2 and No. 3 each traverse a greater total
length of wetland. Based on the above, Alignment No. 1 is the
alternative recommended to minimize wetland impacts.
Identifiable traffic noise impacts will result from the proposed
Schmidt Lake Road. Since noise level decreases proportionately
with the distance from the noise source, the impact of traffic
noise on surrounding homes will be affected by choice of
alignment. The majority of affected homes would be in the Nathan
Trails and Wild Wings Addition areas located to the south of
existing Schmidt Lake Road and 49th Avenue North.
As Figure 2 shows, Alternative Alignment No. 3 results in the
greatest distance of separation between the proposed street and
existing home sites; Alternative No. 1 results in the least.
Alignment Alternative No. 3 will, therefore, have the least noise
impact on these homes, and Alternative No. 1 the greatest. A
more rigorous quantitative analysis is required to determine the
actual level of noise impact and compliance with state noise
standards before any recommendation based on this factor can be
made.
A summary comparison of environmental impacts is presented in
Exhibit "A", appended to this report.

MEMO
CITY OF PLYMOUTH
3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD, PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447
DATE: July 21, 1988 For City Council Meeting of July 25, 1988
TO: James G. Willis, City Manager
FROM Fred G. Moore, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: VACATION OF EASEMENT FOR PONDING
COTTONWOOD PLAZA ADDITION
ACTION REQUESTED: It is recommended that the City Council adopt the
attached resolution vacating the ponding easement within Lot 1, Block 1,
Cottonwood Plaza Addition.
BACKGROUND: On January 11, 1988, the City Council held a public hearing on
the vacation of the ponding easement within Lot 1, Block 1, Cottonwood
Plaza Addition. This easement vacation had been requested by Powell -
Lincoln -Mercury. The easement was for a temporary pond which has not been
constructed.
At the request of the developer, the City had under condemnation the parcel
of land for construction of the permanent pond which provides drainage for
the Cottonwood Plaza Addition. In January the City Council deferred action
on this vacation until the City had title to the land for the permanent
pond. This has now been accomplished through the quit -take procedure and
we received title in June.
RECOMMENDATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS: It is recommended that the City Council
adopt the attached resolution vacating the ponding easement.

DATE: July 20, 1988
TO: James G. Willis, City Manager
FROM: Eric Blank, Director of Parks and Recreation D
SUBJECT: STUDY OF PROGRAMMING MAINTENANCE COSTS AND USER FEES
The following memo deals with the subject of the current use of our community
playfields, the associated expenses for maintaining the playfields and
addresses the subject of user fees.
The Park and Recreation Advisory Commission, based on their review of this
subject, has voted to recommend to the City Council that user fees for youth
athletic associations be initiated effective January 1, 1990.
In October of 1987, a report was prepared and sent to the City Council on the
subject of park usage and maintenance costs. Upon review of this document,
which is attached in the appendix, the City Council asked that the Park and
Recreation Advisory Commission study the subject of park user fees. The rest
of this report will deal with the review as undertaken by the Park and
Recreation Advisory Commission.
After discussing the contents of the October 21 report at a number of park
commission meetings, it was decided to invite representatives of the various
athletic associations to their February PRAC meeting. Six individuals
representing four different athletic associations were present at the February
Commission meeting. The basic message conveyed by these representatives was
that they were happy with the current maintenance program, and they did not
feel that the City should implement a program of user fees to youth athletic
associations. Some of the reasons that they objected to the fee were:
The cost for officiating is going up for their program.
The cost for equipment is going up steadily.
They are providing a volunteer service to the community.
This would require them to spend more time doing fundraising
in the community with such items as pizza sales.
Some families with more than one child could not afford the
increased cost.
Study of Programming Maintenance Costs and User Fees
July 20, 1988

Not all kids are playing games on City facilities. Some
games are played on school district facilities.
Some of these associations work in multiple cities, such as
Plymouth -New Hope and Plymouth -Maple Grove.
The Commission focused their discussion on the issues of is -there a real need
for charging fees to the youth athletic associations at this time, and what
method of fee collection would be equitable to all different groups using our
facilities?
In the process of our review, we discovered that the City of Edina was going
through a survey of their community to determine if a $5 per user fee was
acceptable to their residents. Portions of the Edina Task Force report are in
the appendix of this memo. Edina found that the current fee system for the
City was generally acceptable by their community. Based on the survey
results, it was anticipated that the $5 per youth fee, which was started in
1987, would remain in effect for Edina. When analyzing this report, one must
keep in mind that Edina has the advantage that the City and the school
district are contiguous and that the athletic associations are strictly Edina
athletic associations. In Plymouth, because of the four different school
districts, we have a very special problem in dealing with fragmented athletic
associations. We have children playing in a football program that overlaps
into other communities. And we have other children playing baseball,
softball, soccer, hockey that overlap into programs in the cities of New Hope
and Maple Grove. The best example of this is the New Hope -Plymouth Athletic
Association. Because the City of New Hope makes a $25,000 contribution to the
New Hope -Plymouth Athletic Association, the Association charges Plymouth
residents an additional $11-$12 referee fee, which is not charged to New Hope
children. This is an extremely irritating fee to many Plymouth residents. By
initiating maintenance fees, the City of Plymouth would now be making a charge
to the association, which would have to be passed along to some or all of the
New Hope -Plymouth participants. This may exasperate an existing problem.
FIELD USE
Nineteen eighty-eight appears to be the summer when we will have completely
filled all of our fields to capacity. Membership appears to be up in all
categories including baseball, which may be reflecting the recent success of
the Minnesota Twins. The Plymouth adult softball league has increased from
183 to 200 teams. This is the maximum that we currently have room for, and in
1988, we began turning away softball teams.
Increased play at Plymouth Creek Playfield has caused the parking lot for the
first time in eight years to overflow. Cars have been parking east of
Fernbrook on Dallas Lane and in residential areas north of the park, thus
causing the residents to request no parking on their residential streets. The
Plymouth Historical Society has expressed concern over parking also. LaCompte
Playfield parking lot overflows nightly with the additional cars using the
parking lots of the office buildings across the street.
At a recent New Hope -Plymouth Athletic Association board meeting, the City was
criticized for not providing more practice fields for youth baseball teams.
The New Hope -Plymouth baseball program increased by eight new teams in 1988.
Study of Programming Maintenance Costs and User Fees
July 20, 1988
Page 3
All total, we have approximately 86 soccer teams using our facilities, and 384
baseball -softball teams (combination of youth and adult). These teams will
combine for approximately 5,100 athletic events taking place predominantly on
our facilities from mid-April to July 31.
A review of our hours maintenance report shows a dramatic decrease in the
average number of hours spent on neighborhood parks per acre in 1987 vs. 1986.
Parkers Lake required 3,130 man hours of maintenance during 1987. Excluding
approximately 2,000 of new construction hours` during 1987 at Zachary Lane
Playfield, the hours for total playfield maintenance in 1987 were comparable
to 1986. A detailed breakdown of the maintenance hours is included in the
appendix of this report.
RECOMMENDATION: The Park and Recreation Advisory Commission at their June
meeting voted 4-2 to recommend the initiation of youth group user fees
effective January 1, 1990. They felt it was very important to allow the youth
athletic associations a full year's grace period in order to adequately plan
their financial structure to meet this added burden.
The method of charging this fee is most important to the Commission. They
have recommended against using a flat fee of so many dollars per participant.
Because our situation is totally different from other communities, a fee
system based on our actual costs must be devised. Our procedure would be to
sit down with each athletic association, determine which fields they will
actually be using, which services the City will be providing and assess an
appropriate cost to the association. An association that uses the hockey
rinks for six and seven year old soccer training would be assessed very little
for this usage. Associations that use our lit irrigated soccer fields would
be assessed charges based on the number of games they propose to play on the
fields. We would use the previous year's experience for estimating the next
year's fee. A percentage of the fee would have to be paid in advance of the
first games taking place and the final fee being paid at the conclusion of the
program when the actual number of games has been calculated.
All of the athletic associations have expressed an interest in remaining
involved in the public discussions of this issue. They have requested that
they be informed of meetings whereby the City Council will be discussing the
subject, so that they will have an opportunity to directly provide input to
the City Council on this subject.

included a piece of property west of Zachary Playfield owned by
Forster's Meats, which the City might be able to exchange F-:th them
for a piece owned by us south of County Road 9. The trail along
West Medicine Lake Drive is critical, also. Many residents are
calling for the development of this trail from a safety standpoint.
It will be an expensive venture, and at the very least will cost
approximately $275,000 for the trail itself and another $100,000 for
a guardrail. It was decided that this issue would be discussed
again following the June 13 Town Meeting.
PRAC then continued their deliberations on donations to Oakwood and
Greenwood schools for their playground improvements for the year
1989. Commissioner LaTour suggested giving Oakwood the full
10,000, but she wasn't as eager to donate that amount to Greenwood.
Commissioner Rosen feels that both schools should receive our
financial support based on it being a good investment and good for
community relations. All commissioners agreed that Oakwood should
receive the $10,000 but were wrestling with giving Greenwood
anything because of the 50% development criteria. Mary Patterson
then pointed out to the Commission that the Council grants
variances" sometimes to ordinances for a variety of reasons. FRAC
then agreed that Greenwood should receive some financial support
from the City for the following reasons: this area is an
established neighborhood using this playground as its neighborhood
park, 300 plus children use the equipment, it's a good investment
for a minimal cost, and the City can guide the PTO in the selection
of the safest equipment.
Further discussion on the CIP included a suggestion from
Commissioner Rosen to improve the playground at Shiloh and Gleanloch
neighborhood parks in 1991 or 1992.
Plymouth Creek Site Planning. A meeting has been set for June 27
with the City Council to discuss the Plymouth Creek site master
plan.
Park Usage/Cost Study Report Discussion Director Blank shared with
the Commission copies of the task force report prepared by the Edina
Park Commission on charging user fees. The report indicated that
Edina charges each participant a $5 user fee. Director Blank stated
that the fairest way to charge would be to figure out a fee for each
association based on use, rather than charging each child a flat
rate. This is because some athletic associations use fields that
are not maintained by the City of Plymouth, such as Wayzata West
Junior High which is used for youth soccer. Commissioner Rosen felt
that he didn't know enough about the City's budget to make a
decision on user fees at this time. He feels that if the City can
manage without it, don't charge at this time. Commissioner Beach
agrees that user fees are inevitable, but feels that the athletic
associations will not support a community center if they are faced
with paying user fees. She would like to wait until after• the
community center is constructed to institute fees. Commissioner
Reed doesn't want fees charged unless it is absolutely necessary.
Commissioner Anderson said he had gotten the impression from the
PRAC Minutes - June 14, 1988
Page 28
Council that it wasn't a crisis at this time, and Chair Edwards
indicated that she feels it isn't necessary yet to institute user
fees. It was then agreed by PRAC that user fees are probably going
to be necessary in the future, and they suggested instituting them
in 1990, which will give athletic associations a year and a half to
prepare for it.
A MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER REED AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER
LATOUR TO RECOMMEND THAT A FEE STRUCTURE BE ESTABLISHED BASED ON
USAGE TO BEGIN ON JANUARY 1, 1990. THE MOTION CARRIED WITH FOUR
AYES (EDWARDS, ANDERSON, REED AND LATOUR). COMMISSIONERS BEACH AND
ROSEN VOTED NAY.
e. Parkers Lake Update. Construction has been delayed somewhat while
waiting for beams for the pavilion. The large picnic shelter is
finished. Director Blank stated that Wayzata School District
teachers have already asked to reserve the pavilion in late August.
f. St. Mary's Update. Director Blank stated that the park is 1,000
yards short on fill dirt. The timbers have arrived for the play
equipment, and the pond is dredged. A resident who purchased a home
south of the park is encouraging the City to relocate the trail on
that end of the park, so it's not so close to his line of view when
he looks out over the park. He wants it pushed farther back into
the park. Director Blank said he restaked it and moved it as far
back as he felt comfortable with.
g. Community Center - General Discussion. The next meeting is planned
for June 29, with different swimming groups being represented. The
commissioners were asked if they were ready for a facilities tour,
and if so, which facilities should they visit? Chair Edwards
responded that she wanted to visit the new Bunker Hills wave pool
which is scheduled to open June 12. Other facilities mentioned
were: Minnetonka Senior Center, Eden Prairie, Brooklyn Park, Apple
Valley, and Flagship in Eden Prairie. Director Blank stated that he
would send a video crew to Apple Valley, since it's so much farther
away than the other facilities. July 13 and 19 were decided on as
tour dates.

Dear Jerry,
It is my understanding the Plymouth Council is comtemplating
user fees for the Plymouth parks, which I feel would be a
mistake for Plymouth. I'm sure ever increasing costs are
a concern but the minimal revenues produced would in no way
offset the negative complaints from the residents. In my
opinion, singling out a specific group such as the Youth
Sports Organization as special interest groups is dangerous.
Hopefully, as a taxpayer we pay for a total program. When
certain groups are segregated, taxpayers will start to feel
they should only be taxed for the services they receive, and
the attitude of the community, which is vital to the future
of Plymouth, will be broken. Alternatives such as volunteer
maintenance assistance and the definite needs for such fees,
hopefully will be explored extensively.
Please accept my thoughts in the positive spirit in which
they are given. My only interest is continuing the positive
atmosphere between the City of Plymouth and its youth organ-
izations which I feel would be jeopordized if user fees
were initiated unless only as a last resort.
Cordially,
Gordy Engel

REPORT OF THE PARR AND RECREATION TASK FORCE
INTRODUCTION
The Edina City Council identified the following issue during the course
of its strategic planning efforts for 1987 - 1988:
Do the City's Park & Recreation facilities meet the needs of
our residents; are parks maintained to an acceptable level;
and are park programs properly financed through a system of
fees and charges?
In order to address this issue, the Council established a Task Force
comprising three Park Board members and eight citizens - two from each
quadrant of the City. The membership of the Task Force included:
Joan Lonsbury Chairman
William Lord Park Board
Donald Wineberg Park Board
Linda Farrell NW Quadrant
li
Patrick Finley NW Quadrant
Itti Furlong NE Quadrant
J. Peter Meyers NE Quadrant
William Jenkins SW Quadrant
Rolland Ring SW Quadrant
L
Jill Blooston SE Quadrant
Lynn Shackelford SE Quadrant
ASSIGNMENT
The City Council charged the Task Force with the following assignment:
0 Provide an inventory of existing Park and Recreation facilities.
1
0 Conduct a public opinion survey at the Task Force's option
concerning Park and Recreation programs, maintenance, and fees and
charges.
0 Compare Edina's maintenance staffing budget with other cities or
with accepted standards.
0 Conduct an independent audit concerning the present condition of
parks and facilities.
0 Compare Edina's user fee structure with other cities.
0 Offer findings and recommendations.
APPROACH TO STUDY
The Task Force formed subcommittees to address the various elements of
the assignment:
Preparation of Park Inventory ...... Mr. Finley and Mr. Ring
Public Opinion Survey..............Mr. Jenkins and Mr. Wineberg
y
Survey of Other Park and Recreation Departments...
Mr. Lord, Mrs. Blooston,
Mrs. Shackelford, Mrs. Furlong,
Mrs. Farrell and Mr. Meyers
Park Audit
The Park Audit was conducted by all members of the Task Force. Those
members residing in a particular quadrant of the City were responsible
for auditing the parks in that quadrant. The Park Board
4
representatives, Mr. Lord and Mr. Wineberg, audited Braemar Park and
Bredesen Park. Mrs. Lonsbury audited the parks located between France
Avenue and York Avenue. Based upon the assignment from the Council
which focused on overall park maintenance issues, it was decided that
2
the enterprise facilities should not be included in this audit. These
facilities include the golf course, arena, art center, swimming pool,
gun range and Edinborough.
Public Opinion Survey
The Task Force utilized the services of Frazee Research Associates to
assist with the public opinion survey. The survey was completed by mail
among a cross-section of Edina households, using the tax rolls of the
City Assessor listing all residential dwellings as a sampling frame.
The sample was selected by computer to print mailing labels of every
tenth residential property unit. Mailing labels for residences which
were not owner occupied were excluded from the sample if the owner
resided outside of the City of Edina, but were included if the owner was
an Edina resident. Apartment buildings were identified from the tax
rolls and envelopes were hand addressed to "occupant" at every tenth
apartment unit using the Polk Directory.
A total of 1824 dwelling units were sampled for the survey including 301
apartment units. In addition, questionnaires were sent to 169 Youth
Athletic Association board members. The board member segment was sent
first class on March 30 and the household segment was bulk mailed on
April 4, 1988.

RSUMMARY OF FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Comparison With Other Cities - Maintenance Budget and Staffing
The Task Force surveyed eleven metro area cities which are comparable to
Edina.
In reviewing this information, we found that comparisons with other
cities are extremely difficult. For example, park maintenance duties
are conducted by the Public Works Department in some cities; Minnetonka
and Hopkins share a park and recreation department; some cities do not
operate "enterprises" like Edina.
As a follow-up to the survey, the Task Force decided to focus on the
park and recreation departments of Roseville, Plymouth and Brooklyn Park
in that they are organized most like Edina. The initial survey and the
follow-up surveys are contained in Appendix A.
The Task Force found that Edina is on the leading edge of park
development and recreation programming in the Metropolitan Area. During
the course of our survey, several cities commented, when asked about
particular programs or facilities, that they were "waiting to see what
Edina was doing".'
Comparison with Other Cities - Fees and Charges
Of the eleven cities surveyed, four cities state that no separate fee is
charged for field maintenance; three cities charge a field maintenance
fee for adult athletics, i.e. softball, but not youth athletics; two
cities charge a maintenance/administrative fee for youth athletics as
well as adult athletics.
Some of the cities surveyed indicated that additional city fees for
field maintenance were presently under investigation.

I
Park and Recreation Facilities Inventory and Audit
Appendix B contains the inventories and audits for all parks.
As explained earlier, the park audits were the joint effort of all task
force members. Therefore, some inconsistencies in audit style from park
to park are apparent. The Task Force audited the parks at the worst
time of the year, i.e. early spring while normal clean-up was in
progress and prior to routine facility maintenance.
Nevertheless, the
overall impression of the parks and facilities was very positive. Many
of the deficiencies noted were already scheduled for routine maintenance
during the summer. We hope the audits for individual parks will be
useful to the Park and Recreation Department when prioritizing
maintenance activities in the future.
The Task Force identified three general weaknesses that appear to affect
many Edina parks.
Condition of Bleachers. Bleacher seating in many parks was in a
poor state of repair; overall upgrading of bleachers is in order.
Restrooms. Many parks should be upgraded with year-round restroom
facilities.
Drinking Fountains. As with restrooms, drinking fountains are
needed in many parks.
The Task Force also noted weed and dandelion problems in several parks.
However, as noted earlier, we inspected the parks at the worst time of
the year relative to this problem. The Park and Recreation Department
should review the parks later in the summer to determine if additional
weed control is necessary.
The Task Force agreed that the City should intensify enforcement efforts
with litterers (especially young adults) and irresponsible dog owners.
Specifically, offenders should be required to clean up litter and dog
feces rather than to rely on park maintenance staff for clean-up.

Public Opinion Survey - Summary
As of May 4, the last day completed questionnaires were accepted for
tabulation, 568 household questionnaires and 91 board member
questionnaires were received and processed. The return rates, based on
the gross number of questionnaires mailed, were 30 percent and 48
percent, respectively.
Most Edina households are users of the City's parks, recreation programs
or facilities and, with few exceptions, are pleased with the variety of
opportunities that are available, the participant fee structure and the
maintenance standards.
0 Eighty-five percent of the survey households use the parks,
recreation programs or facilities. Of all households in the
survey:
80 percent use the parks for unorganized activities
62 percent are users of special facilities
18 percent participate in Youth Athletic Association Programs
12 percent participate in City Recreation Programs
1 percent are members of Park Board Civic Organizations
0 Thirty-seven percent categorize their household as a "heavy" or
moderate" user of Edina's parks, recreation programs and
facilities.
0 A very large majority of Edina households are very positive in
their ratings of the variety of recreational opportunities
available for active and passive recreation, and recreation which
requires special facilities.
0 A large majority rate Edina's parks, recreation programs and
facilities very favorably in terms of how well they serve the
recreational interests of household members.
0 Relatively few (16 percent) believe that there are additional
programs or facilities that should be provided by the Park and
s
6
4
of the community.
0 Ten percent of Edina households indicate that the present
participant fee structure limits the number of programs in which
members of their household participate.
0 Fifty-eight percent indicate a preference for the present
participant fee structure which covers all program costs and a
portion of field preparation and maintenance costs. Approximately
equal proportions indicate a preference for fee structures which
would increase or decrease the present level of participant fees.
0 A large majority of survey respondents consider the maintenance
standards for parks and facilities to be "good" or "very good" and,
relative to five years ago, "about the same" or "better than."
0 Survey households indicate support for an upgrade of the Pavilion
section of the Braemar Ice Arena/Pavilion, but reject expansion of
the Pavilion for gymnastics and an upgrade of the Municipal
Swimming Pool.
APPENDIX C OF THIS REPORT EXPANDS UPON THE KEY FINDINGS OF THE PUBLIC
OPINION SURVEY. APPENDIX D CONTAINS THE DATA TABLES AND COMMENTS AND
RECOMMENDATIONS RECEIVED FROM RESPONDENTS.
CONCLUSIONS
In response to the City Council's questions as contained in its
strategic work plan, we offer the following conclusions.
DO THE CITY'S PARK AND RECREATION FACILITIES MEET THE NEEDS OF OUR
RESIDENTS?
Based upon the public opinion survey which we conducted, we believe
that the parks and recreation facilities meet the desires and
expectations of our residents. We also conclude that our parks,
facilities and programs are responding to the needs of our
residents even though our residents are "demographically different"
than in the past as evidenced by the following findings:
858 of our households are park users
658 of households with children between 5 and 18 years of age
participate in Park and Recreation programs
Only 168 suggest that additional programs should be provided
818 answered that parks and facilities have kept up with the
needs of the community
838 answered that parks were the same or better than five
years ago.
We do wish to point out that, however, that 808 of the households in our
survey reported that they use parks for "unorganized activities" while
only 238 of the households participate in recreation programs. We do
not know how this statistic compares with, say twenty (20) years ago,
but we suspect that, due to demographic changes, "unorganized park
users" have increased and "participant households" have decreased. As
such, the Park Board and Park and Recreation Department may wish to
reflect on their priorities in this regard.
E3
ARE PARKS MAINTAINED TO AN ACCEPTABLE LEVEL?
We recognize that maintenance standards are related to financial
resources. Edina's parks are not perfect, but, in general, they are
maintained to a reasonable level.
We likewise believe that the park and recreation department's
maintenance standards meet the expectations of the community as
evidenced by the fact that
758 of our surveyed households rated maintenance standards for
the general park environment "very good" or "good".
688 rated maintenance standards for recreational facilities as
very good" or "good".
798 felt that maintenance standards are about the same or
better than five years ago.
The Task Force cannot provide conclusions with respect to comparisons
between Edina's Park and Recreation budget and staff level and that of
other cities due to the diversity of services, staff organization and
programs.
ARE PARK PROGRAMS PROPERLY FINANCED THROUGH A SYSTEM OF FEES AND
CHARGES?
We conclude that most of our neighboring cities do not charge field
maintenance fees for youth athletics. However, some cities who do not
now charge such fees are considering implementing such a program in the
future. Edina seems to be a trend setter in this regard.
Our public opinion survey indicates that the present fee structure,
including the recently adopted field maintenance fee for youth
athletics, is generally well received:
4
0
588 of the household's preferred to retain the present system
which includes field maintenance fees.
198 felt fees should be increased
168 felt fees should be reduced
838 of all households stated fees do not limit the number of
programs in which family members can participate
The Task Force recommends that the Park Board and Council should invite
athletic associations and other groups to City budget hearings to
express their views and exchange ideas concerning fees, coordination of
activities, and policy issues affecting park and program participants.
UPGRADE OF MAJOR FACILITIES
Although the City Council did not request this information, the Task
Force included questions on upgrading the pavilion and municipal
swimming pool in our public opinion survey. Based upon our survey, we
conclude that an upgrade of the pavilion to improve energy efficiency,
ice making equipment, spectator seating and locker room facilities is
supported by a plurality of our residents. We also conclude that the
addition of the gymnastics facility to the pavilion or upgrades to the
swimming pool are generally not supported by our residents according to
the survey.
The Task Force wishes to thank the Council for the opportunity to take
part in this study. We hope our findings are useful and will set the
stage for further park and recreation planning and decision making.

5. There is no separate fee charged to athletic associations or
participants. While it is true that athletic associations cost Park and
Recreation big maintenance dollars - they feel all city programs would
have to be assessed for such a charge to be fair. Also, at the present
time a fee would cause a lot of flack, because they have about 4,000
participants in the programs and and 500 volunteers who run them. These
same people do a lot for the community and many times are activists.

MEMO
DATE: October 21, 1987
TO: James G. Willis, City Manager
FROM: Eric J. Blank, Director of Parks and Recreation
SUBJECT: REVIEW OF PARK USAGE AND MAINTENANCE LEVELS
As part of the 1987 Performance Standards and Measures for the City Manager, I
have been asked to prepare a review of the appropriate park usage and current
park maintenance levels for our park system. In the following pages, I have
attempted to review for you and the Council the following items:
Our current park system plan, which identifies our park standards and
park usage philosophy.
A summary review of the Task Force Report on Park and Recreation
Financing for Facilities and Programs.
The growth in the park system in terms of acres, programs, and other
information since 1980.
Park maintenance costs for neighborhood parks, community playfields, city
parks, and costs per facility such as: ice skating, soccer, softball,
etc.
After you have had a chance to review this document, I would be happy to meet
with you and further review and analyze the information that I have provided
here.
In 1980, the City Council charged the Park and Recreation Advisory Commission
with the task of preparing a comprehensive park system plan for the City of
Plymouth. After a year and a half in the development process, this plan was
adopted by the City Council in February of 1982. Contained within this plan
is the philosophy, rationale and procedures by which the City of Plymouth has
chosen to acquire, develop and maintain a variety of park facilities.
Inherent in developing this document was the process of developing a variety
of standards that the City should strive to obtain. As an example, standards
for neighborhood parks were:
one park per neighborhood
2.5 to 3.5 developed acres per 1,000 population
five to 21 acres in size.
For community playfields, the standards developed were:
one playfield per community
IaV OF PARK USAGE AMID MAINTET]AN-E LEVELS
tober 21, 1987
Page 2
2.5 developed acres per 1,000 population
20 to 65 acres in size.
For city parks, the standards developed were:
four to five parks disbursed throughout the City, with a 20 acre
minimum or large enough to encompass and protect a natural resource.
The Park System was also reviewed for what we refer to as its "functional
standards." The integrity and flexibility of the entire park system can be
monitored through the use of the following functional classifications. There
is no one correct mix of functional components, but it is, nevertheless,
imperative that each component be represented within the system, in order that
the system can be balanced and that it demonstrates its long-term viability.
The five functional classifications are:
Conservation - the preservation of significant natural amenities such
as lakes, creeks, wetlands, prairies, woodlands, unique and
significant landforms, vegetative communities and views, flood plains,
etc. Conservation, in this sense, means protection from destruction
by all forms of urban encroachment.
Ornamentation - the decorative, aesthetic aspect of the park system.
Ornamentation is usually provided through the development and
maintenance of natural amenities, either formally or informally.
Culture - refers primarily to the non -recreational programming of the
parks and, as such, usually represents a small percentage of land
area, though frequently a large part of programming. Culture
encompasses historical places, public amphitheaters, museums,
educational programs and so on.
Recreation - includes participatory activities, active and passive,
intensive and extensive, for all age groups in the community.
Reserve - perhaps the most important, yet most frequently overlooked
function of a park system is its reserve --its ability to expand and be
flexible in the face of future growth and development, as well as
changing recreation demands and opportunities.
At this time, the two areas that we would appear to be the weakest in are
ornamentation and cultural facilities. The fountains and featured gardens at
Parkers Lake are our first attempt to promote these areas within our park
system.
The next phase of the development plan was to review the Plymouth communities.
A study was done of the population, household size, employment growth, and
other trends by walking neighborhoods and driving neighborhoods. Population
by neighborhoods was the driving factor creating the demand for acres of
neighborhood park and community playfields. Facility standards were also
analyzed. In this process, we are able to compare ourselves now and in the
future to national norms with regard to the number of tennis courts per 1,0000
people, the number of softball fields per 1,000 people, the number
baseball/softball fields per 1,000 people, etc.

The next part of our development process was a park needs analysis. The park
needs analysis for neighborhood parks is also included in the appendix of this
report. Within the park needs analysis, we looked at the ultimate population
of each neighborhood, the existing park acres within that neighborhood,
compared that to our standard of 2.5-3.5 acres per 1,000 people, and were able
to determine which neighborhoods at that time had a deficiency in park
acreage. This allowed us to set up a plan by which parks would be acquired in
future years. This has continued to be the guiding force in our annual
development of the capital improvement program.
The next step in the process was perhaps the most important. This was the
future park identification phase. In this phase, the consultant was charged
with the responsibility of locating within the community a variety of options
that would meet the standards for the various park types that had been set out
earlier in the report. Each site was compared against other sites in its
ability to provide the components that would allow each park to function
properly in providing the desired experiences to the park visitor. Some of
the items that were numerically scored in ranking these facilities were:
location within the walking or driving neighborhood
relationship to the thoroughfare guide plan
vegetation
surface water conditions
existing ownership and use
adjacent proposed land use
proximity of sewer and water
wetlands and soil conditions.
Each of these factors has a different importance to each different type of
park. For example, a central location is much more important to a
neighborhood park that people walk to than it is to a playfield to which most
people may drive. It was this type of analysis that allowed the Park
Commission and planners to take the prototype standard of a neighborhood park
and compare it to specific sites in the field throughout the community. The
end result is what we know today as the comprehensive park system plan; a
detailed mapping of all future park sites to be acquired by the City of
Plymouth.
The final part of the park system plan was the setting of priorities based on
the current demand as determined by populations within neighborhoods.
Included in the appendix are the priorities developed in the 1982 plan, and an
analysis of the park acquisition that has taken place between 1982 and 1986 to
meet the priorities that had been established.
Next I will touch very briefly on the results of the Task Force on Park and
Recreation Program Financing. In January of 1982, the Mayor and City Council
charged a task force to study and report on the guiding philosophies that
would be used in preparing future financial programs as they relate to the
SEW OF PARK USAGE AND MAINTENAN-'E LEVELS
toter 21, 1987

park and recreation component of the City budget. Jim Rice, Chairman of the
Park and Recreation Advisory Commission at that time, was chosen to chair this
task force. On May 2, 1983, the City Council passed a resolution endorsing
the findings and concepts as developed by the Task Force. This resolution is
also included in the appendix of this report. The findings of the task force
are contained for the most part within the five major funding philosophl-
statements that they prepared as part of the report. These funding statements
as taken from the report are:
A. Research and Planning
The majority of all research and planning should be underwritten by
tax -supported resources. This deals with the long-range planning
for the total park and recreation system.
B. Construction of Facilities
The City shall use endowments, grants, gifts, etc., whenever
possible to underwrite facility construction. When these sources
of funds are not available, the taxpayer should underwrite the
capital costs of such facilities. New construction should include
a forecast of operating costs; no construction should start until
the City has agreed to pay the operating costs.
C. Maintenance of Facilities
The City's financial resources shall be used to maintain the basic
level of maintenance necessary to maintain in a reasonable manner,
all parks and recreational facilities within the system. We
believe that the everyday, ongoing maintenance, e.g., mowing the
grass, is inherent with the City -ownership of any and all parks and
should not be cost -associated with special user groups. User
qr9gps_shall pay the majority of costs necessary_ to cover extra-_
ordinary maintenance associated with their group's use of special
facilities.
D. Development of Programs
Because recreation is important to all segments of our population
including the young, old, gifted and handicapped; the taxpayer
should underwrite the cost of the research and development of
programs to meet the needs of all segments of the community.
E.. Operation of Programs
Program participants should pay the direct costs and some
administrative costs associated with participating in any given
activity. Special consideration will be given to underwriting some
costs for the mentally and physically handicapped and elderly
populations.
In preparing our annual City budgets and the capital improvement budget, we
have tried to prepare our financial programs based on these five funding
philosophy statements. One example of this is the fee policy we have that
requires the Wayzata Youth Soccer Association to pay approximately a $1,000
user fee for the rental of our soccer facilities during their annual
invitational soccer tournament. The Association on the other hand does not
pay a rental fee for our facilities for their in-house soccer program which is
geared toward the basic Plymouth youth recreational participant.
Another
REVIEW OF PARK USAGE AND MAINTENANCE LEVELS

Page 5
example is the fees charged for adult softball participation which includes
costs associated with field maintenance and energy costs for night play.
These type of management practices directly resulted from the philosophies put
forth in the Task Force report.
The next area that needs to be reviewed in this report is the subject of
growth. Growth within the City of Plymouth has been driving us in two ways.
First, new people have created a demand for additional neighborhood parks
throughout the community. In the last seven years, the City has newly
developed neighborhood parks at Timber Shores, Mission, Schmidt Lake, Rolling
Hills, Amhurst, County Road 61, and Maple Creek. Our total park acreage has
increased from approximately 275 acres to approximately 600 acres between 1980
and 1987. Our city population has increased 130% from 1980 to 1986. A
dramatic increase has occurred in the number of participants in programs
during the same time frame. Increases in our program participation far
exceeded the rate of population growth during the last six years. Listed
below is a summary of some of this participation growth.

1,021 3,197 313% increase
31,615 41,207 130% increase
These figures do not include Wayzata Recreation programs provided on
a contractual basis in 1986 & 1987.)
Of the figures above, the most important statistic to this review is the 300%
increase in the use of the community playfields. The jump from 1,000 games
per year to over 3,000 games per year is a direct result of the increasing
program demands not only by adult athletics, but more likely from the various
youth athletic associations that continue to grow and expand programs within
our City. As people become more wellness conscious, we will see more people
staying active later in their lives. The young soccer player of today will
want to participate in adult leagues as they get older.
Later in this report you will see the hours associated with maintaining
individual sports facilities. Had we not developed an appropriate community
playfield system, the neighborhood park system would have seen a dramatic
increase in inappropriate uses and a much higher maintenance cost associated
with that usage. Problems with parking, noise, trash, etc., would be very
co=n.

Rick Busch of our staff is assigned the responsibility of working with the
youth athletic associations and our adult sports program. It is his job to
attempt to balance the needs of the users versus the ability of the playfields
to withstand extremely heavy user occasions. We have in the past said "no,"
and we will say "no" in the future when it is necessary. The continued growth
of all of our sports user groups will be one of the most important determiningfactorsonthetimingofthedevelopmentoftheBassLakeandParkersLake
community playfields.
Park Maintenance Costs
Without a doubt, the most startling figure within the Park and Recreation
budget has been the dramatic increase in the park maintenance budget, which
was $256,810 in 1981 and is projected to be $796,200 in 1988. Our highly
maintained acres have increased from about 100 acres to about 350 acres
between 1981 and 1987. During this time we also have added four additional
year-round shelters, for a total of 5. The park maintenance division will
have grown from five full-time employees in 1981 to 10 full-time employees in
1988. Our part-time or seasonal work for us has also increased from
approximately 7,000 hours to 14,500 hours annually during this same time
period.
Since 1984, the park maintenance division has had available a computer on
which all of our maintenance time cards could be entered. Based on an
analysis of the last three years, we have estimated that average maintenance
hours per acre for neighborhood parks is approximately 41 hours per acre per
year. The average time for our beach facilities is between 80 and 90 hours
per acre per year. The average time for community playfields appears to be
between 80 and 83 hours per acre per year.
The major items of the maintenance program for the neighborhood park system
lies in four areas. (This example is Green Oaks Park excluding new
construction.)
Est.
A. Mowing and trimming 45%
B. Play structure repair 60
C. Rink flooding and cleaning 140
D. Garbage pick-up 100
750
Other casrponents of our neighborhood park maintenance work make up the
remaining 25% of the annual cost. Examples of this are: fertilizing,
broadleaf weed control, signage, tree planting, trail maintenance and repair,
etc. We have designed our new neighborhood parks in an effort to keep park
maintenance costs down. The three new parks developed in 1987 total 45.8
acres in size. Of this amount, 9.13 acres or 20% will be high maintenance or
mowed area. The remaining 36.67 acres or 80% will be very low maintenance,
natural area.

These figures do not include any new construction hours."
The park maintenance work associated with the community playfields is much
broader and more time consuming than the maintenance required for neighborhood
parks. Items such as irrigation maintenance, building cleaning and repair,
line painting, infield maintenance, top dressing, and seeding and sodding add
to our other maintenance areas to, in effect, double the average hour per acre
cost for community playfields. The most time consuming are:
mowing/trimming 12°
line painting 80
seed/sod/repair 9%
building/repair/maint. 60
rink maintenance 16%
irrigation 40
garbage 50
600
One should remember that the average neighborhood park runs between two and
approximately 13 acres in size. The community playfields on the other hand
run between 17 and 33 acres in size. This factor alone dictates by their very
size that they will require more work per site each year. Contract
maintenance on such things as plumbing, electrical, irrigation and lighting
are not reflected in these hour per acre costs. The special nature of these
systems requires either special training or special equipment that at this
time is not practical for the City to provide on an in-house basis.
In an effort to quantify our overall maintenance effort, I would suggest that
on a scale of 1 through 5 our overall ranking perhaps could be rated as a 4-.
While there are some areas such as trimming, weeding and miscellaneous repairs
where we could improve, there are other areas such as field dragging and
lining, snow plowing and rink flooding where our level of service could be
somewhat decreased. One means of gauging the success of the maintenance
service provided would be feedback from the community. During the last five
years, we have received high marks from both the community survey instrument
and from the athletic associations and the adult sports community. In 1979
REVIEW OF PARK USAGE AND MAINITNANCE LEVELS
October 21, 1987
Page 9
and 1980, the City was being criticized for poor maintenance on many of its
facilities. At the time of my hire, it was made clear to me that part of my
responsibility was to make improvements in this area in an effort to turn
around the perception of the community of our poor maintenance. Hopefully, we
have been able to meet this goal.
Just as not all parks are created equal, not all athletic fields are created
equal. Some programs by their very nature require more sophistication and
more maintenance than other programs. Outlined below are our best estimates
of the annual cost for the maintenance on one hockey rink, one softball field,
and one soccer/football field. Because our recording system is based on hours
worked on projects by site, Mark has had to estimate as best he can some of
the hours associated with each of these cost estimates by facility.

In our estimation, one of the best things we have going for us with regard to
our park maintenance is the fact that we have very few soccer/football fields
laid over softball/baseball fields. We currently maintain 18
softball/baseball fields and 11 soccer fields. Of this amount, only three
sites have a soccer/football laying over the top of the softball/baseball
field. We are also fortunate in most cases we do not have pleasure skating
rinks laid out on top of any of our athletic surfaces. Whenever you try and
maintain ice rinks on top of grass surfaces, you end up with weeds. This
would necessitate a total renovation and reseeding project every spring in
those areas. Klaprich Field in Wayzata is a classic example of this. Because
their entire surface is flooded in the winter time, during the summer months
they do not have an adequate turf surface to play field games on. As we build
other facilities in the future, these are items we will keep in mind, so we
REVIEW OF PARK USAGE AND MAINITNANCE LEVELS
October 21, 1987
Page 11
are sure we have the easiest, maintainable surface. Because of the high
expense of maintaining soccer/football fields, we are researching the capital
costs associated with using an artificial turf surface to determine if, in the
long run, there would be a cost savings over our grass surfaced areas. We
have a new soccer field at Plymouth Creek in the capital improvement budget
for 1988. Our analysis of this life cycle cost will be prepared in
conjunction with that project.
In conclusion, what we have tried to accomplish as our overall philosophy can
be summarized as such:
A. Build the appropriate facilities in the appropriate locations to meet
the need in that population or attendance area.
B. Design the facilities in such a manner that they can be maintained in
a reasonable fashion based on appropriate use. In new parks, create
the smallest possible areas that will require high maintenance.
C. Provide safe, attractive facilities to the public that present a good
image for the City of Plymouth. Because wet athletic turfs are most
susceptible to damage, we closely monitor all of our facilities for
the necessity of cancelling games in order to protect the surface.
D. Make the necessary repairs and maintenance to our facilities as
quickly as possible, so that unsafe conditions are corrected and
further deterioration, and a poor public image is not created.
Finally, we must continue to provide motivation and training to our
maintenance division, so that they can most effectively and efficiently carry
out their duties and responsibilities in these areas. with a continuing
spirit of cooperation and understanding between the City Council, Park and
Recreation Advisory Commission and our user groups, I am confident that we can
continue to provide safe, clean, and fun recreational experiences to the
citizens of Plymouth.

July 19, 1988
James G. Willis, City Manager
Blair Tremere, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: REVISIONS TO ZONING ORDINANCE HOME OCCUPATION REGULATIONS
ACTION REQUESTED: Review and direction from City Council regarding material
rafted by Staff at Council direction which will be scheduled for Public Hearing
efore the Planning Commission.
BACKGROUND: The City Council on a couple of occasions has asked whether amendments
could be made to the Home Occupation Regulations which would allow for certain
business activity within homes in residential districts. The current definition of
Home Occupation is broad and quite inclusive, i.e. it covers virtually any business
activity that might be found and it is restrictive, across the board, regardless of
the particular use.
We researched this matter and advised the Council and Planning Commission at a joint
meeting last year that numerous suburban communities did allow for certain business
activity without requiring a Conditional Use Permit which generates a Public
Hearing. The direction at that time was to prepare possible language which could be
adopted as an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance, and recently, the City Council
directed that such language be provided to the Council with the understanding that
the Planning Commission would consider it at Public Hearing if the Ordinance is to
be amended. A hearing has been scheduled for the August 10, 1988 meeting.
PRIMARY ISSUES AND ANALYSIS: The main issue is whether to allow certain business or
non residential" activities in the Residential District, particularly from homes,
without the formalities of a Conditional Use Permit application and a Public
Hearing.
A draft Ordinance Amendment is attached and I find it accomplishes that by
recognizing certain "Home Occupations" which would not require a formal permit
versus "Conditional Home Occupations" which would require a Conditional Use Permit.
J
The primary differentiation is the potential or actual external effect an activity
can reasonably be expected to have. Traffic and parking beyond the normal
residential generation is one characteristic. Another characteristic, which we have
introduced because it has been discussed recently by the Planning Commission and
City Council is the employment of a nonresident on the premises where the employee
is involved with the business activity. The draft allows for no more than one
employee and classifies that activity requiring an employee as a Conditional Home
Occupation, even if the occupation otherwise would be classified as a Home
Occupation which does not require a permit.
Another feature of the draft that we intend to introduce is the prohibition of the
exterior signage. This has been a consistent requirement of the City Council over
the years by virtue of conditions added to the Conditional Use Permit approval for
Home Occupations.
There are certain activities generally classified as residential care facilities by
State law which can be conducted in homes in residential districts without any local
regulation as to the use. Examples are child daycare, certain foster care and adult
daycare; and certain other group care activities. These activities are licensed by
the State (often through Hennepin County) and are exempt from local zoning in that
they are defined as permitted uses, thus not requiring Conditional Use Permits.
RECOMMENDATION AND CONCLUSION: I recommend that the City Council review the draft
and provide comments and/or direction which will be transmitted to the Planning
Commission.
I have concluded that it would be appropriate to amend the Ordinance to allow for
certain activities in the residential district without the formality of Public
Hearing and Conditional Use Permit. This can be done without negative impact upon
the character of residential neighborhood mainly because of the restriction on
actual and potential external effects.
Further, I find there will be a savings to the community by virtue of reduced
administrative activity that are required and involved in processing Conditional Use
Permits and enforcing the Zoning Ordinance restrictions which we have now. We have
found many of those activities that would be classified as Home Occupation exist
today and that, there often is more consternation and disruption generated within a
neighborhood by virtue of the Conditional Use Permit process and hearing than by the
uses which, if properly conducted, are not highly visible or problematical.

MEMO
DATE: February 6, 1987
TO: Planning Commission and City Council Members
FROM: Community Development Director Blair Tremere
SUBJECT HOME OCCUPATION
This item results from City Council direction after Council approval on December 15,
1986 of a Conditional Use Permit for Home Occupation which the Planning Commission
found "No Need" for, suggesting that there are instances where the activity does not
fall within the meaning and intent of the Ordinance.
The Council directed that staff and the Planning Commission study Ordinance provisions
for Home Occupations. The Mayor suggested that a distinction be made between an
activity such as a Home Occupation and activities such as bona fide businesses. He
suggested that a couple of parameters could be whether the individual has another
office that is used for the business (if there were another formal office, then
activity at the home would not be considered the primary business location). Also, it
was suggested that we consider the percentage of business actually transacted from the
home (say, as contrasted with the amount of business done at the other location).
Other Council members noted concern about the external effects of such operations,
particularly with respect to traffic and signage. It was also suggested that some
performance standards might be more appropriate, rather than the Conditional Use
Permit.
Staff has initiated some basic research and find one approach used by other communi-
ties is to actually have two definitions: One for "Home Occupations" and another for
Conditional Home Occupation".
A possible approach then would be to adopt definitions such as the following:
Home Occupation Any gainful occupation or profession engaged in by the occupant
of a dwelling unit within said dwelling, which is clearly incidental and
secondary to the residential use of the premises, provided, such activity -does
not produce light glare, noise, odor, or vibration perceptible beyond the
boundaries of the premises; does not involve the use of accessory structures;
and, further provided that said activity does not involve any of the
following: Repair, service, or manufacturing which require equipment other
than that customarily found in a home; over-the-counter sale of merchandise
produced off the premises; or, the employment of persons on the premises other
than those customarily residing on the premises. Examples include: Dress
making; secretarial services; professional offices; answering service;
individual music or art instruction; individual hobby craft; child day care
licensed by the County and/or State; and, the like.

Memorandum to Joint Planning Commission and City Council
February 9, 1987
Home Occupation
Home Occupation, Conditional - Any gainful occupation or profession, approved by a
Conditional Use Permission engaged in by the occupant of a dwelling unit
within said dwelling or involving not more than one accessory use permitted by
the Zoning Ordinance, and which involves any of the following: Stock -in -trade
incidental to the performance of the service; repair, or manufacturing which
require equipment other than that customarily found in a home; the employment
on the premises, at any one time of not more than one person who is a
non-resident of the premises; the teaching of more than one (1) but not more
than four (4) non -residence students at any given time; or the need for not
more than two (2) parking spaces in addition to spaces required for the
persons residing on the premises; and, provided, the activity: is clearly
incidental and secondary to the residential use of the premises, including the
dwelling, and permitted accessory building or installations thereon; does not
produce light glare, noise, odor, or vibration perceptible beyond the
boundaries of the premises; does not consist of over-the-counter sales of
merchandise produced off the premises. Examples include: Barber and beauty
services, shoe repair, photography studio, group lessons, saw sharpening,
motor driven appliance and small engine repair, and the like.
We recommend that the Council and Commission discuss this in terms of the current
Ordinance definition and the concerns expressed at earlier meetings.
We recommend that consideration be given to establishing a class of activity that does
not require a formal Conditional Use Permit but yet would be subject, as any other
use, to certain Ordinance standards.
An Administrative Permit could be considered for certain uses if the Council concluded
that some control or record was needed of activities.
The approach outlined above seems to be a good one and has worked well in communities
that have adopted similar approaches to this topic.

TO: James G. Willis, City Manager
FROM: Fred G. Moore, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: PROJECT STATUS REPORT
This memorandum will supply additional information on the July Project Status
Report from Chester Harrison, City Engineer.
As contained within the report, the Zachary Lane Water Treatment Plant is now
filtering water and supplying it to our water distribution system. Although
the plant is operating, it is not in an automatic mode and there are several
bugs" which are being worked out of the system. City staff, the project
engineer and contractor are all working closely in order to have the plant
completed and operating automatically as soon as possible. As systems are
being started up and used, items are being discovered which require changes.
Some of these are wrong construction by the contractor, but other changes are
because of the design of the system, since it does not operate correctly.
These changes will require additional payment to the contractor and our
consultant is working very closely with the contractor in determining the
additional cost. Since some of these changes are critical with the operation
and require changes immediately, I have authorized their completion. When we
get a final cost from the contractor, they will be presented to the City
Council as part of a change order. Because of the complicated nature of the
water treatment plant some of these are expected, although I believe the City
will want to have a discussion with our engineer on some of the items which
were not included correctly in the plans. Items which are not of a critical
nature will be presented to the City Council before the changes are
authorized.
In order to have a more effective erosion control policy, the City made a
change approximately a year ago and required all developers to have a contract
with a street sweeper. This enables the City to get prompt action when an
item requires correction that the developer has not completed. As stated in
Chet's report, developers are letting the City call their street cleaning
contractor to perform the necessary work. By our policy, if the City incurs
any cost, there is a 100% penalty assessed the developer. Since the
developers now have a street sweeping contractor, the City is not occuring any
cost, and therefore, we have not had any penalties.
It is my recommendation that the City Council give us direction with regard to
establishing penalties for developers that are contacted for erosion control
measures. I would recommend that there be no penalty on the first contact for
a development within a construction season, but a penalty be established for
each contact after that.

Plymouth, MN
Project No. 431
July 20, 1988
Work Completed:
July 1 marked the first day in which raw water was brought into the plant
and treated finished water was pumped out into the distribution system.
All of the chemical feed equipment, except the polymer feed, is now opera-
tional. Control of the process is still manual only, while the system
bugs are discovered, isolated, and corrected.
Work continues on the automatic control systems, with much time involved
with wiring, testing, and calibrating. Startup training of the operating
personnel has begun and City personnel have been performing the manual
operation of the plant on a day to day basis.
Exterior work completed includes placing concrete sidewalks, placing the
first course of bituminous paving, and completing the rough grading. In-
terior finish work continues including painting, installing hardware,
light fixtures, telephones, and plumbing fixtures.
Schedule:
The requirements for Substantial Completion still have not been met. These
include proper operation of all systems and training of City personnel in
this operation. The contractor is aware of his obligation and is con-
centrating his efforts on the priority items.

The following status report has been prepared for all current B.R.A./City of
Plymouth projects.
Preliminary Reports
We do not have any uncompleted Preliminary Reports. We are, however, working
with City Staff on addressing future water system needs.
Plans and Specifications
1988 Street Improvements:
This project includes curb and gutter and bituminous binder for the 22nd
Avenue, Fernbrook Woods, and Revere Lane/Trenton Place 2nd Addition projects.
The bituminous wear course on Schmidt Lake Road, from Pineview to Larch and
from Nathan to Saratoga, will also be included. Plans and specifications were
approved at the June 27, 1988 City Council meeting. This project will be bid
on Tuesday, July 26, 1988.
Active Construction Projects
Project 625 - Deep Wells No. 8 & 9 - Newmech Companies:
Both wells are pumping water to the Zachary Lane Water Treatment Facility.
The contractor is currently working on punch list items, as well as items
which must be coordinated with the W.T.F. construction.

2335 West Highway 36 9 St. Paul, Minnesota 55113 • 612-636-4600
Project 431 - Zachary Lane W.T.F. - Shaw -Lundquist Assoc.:
The plant is now fully treating water, but is being operated manually. Work
is concentrated on finishing the wiring for the automatic controls, debugging
them, and calibrating them. Operator training for the various systems is also
progressing.
The curb and gutter, exterior concrete walks, rough site grading, and first
lift of bituminous paving have been completed. The landscaping, due to dry
weather, will be left until later in the fall. In the meantime, interior
painting and finishing, light fixture, plumbing fixture, and hardware instal-
lation continue.
Major items remaining include finishing and debugging the automatic controls,
installing the data acquisition system, and training the operators in the
operation and maintenance of the equipment. Drawings for the new automatic
controls at the Central Water Treatment Plant are nearly complete and ready
for review. These controls, however, are not to be installed until water
demand decreases this fall.
Project 814 - Well No. 10:
Well No. 10 was bid on June 14, 1988. The project was awarded to Bergerson-
Caswell at the June 20, 1988 City Council meeting. Since this time, the con-
tracts have been signed, the site staking has been completed, the preconstruc-
tion conference is being scheduled, and the Contractor is setting up on the
site today. This well drilling work is required to be completed by October
15, 1988.
Project 660/813 - Wood Creek ADdition/22nd Avenue - Northdale Construction:
Project was bid on May 31 and awarded on June 6, 1988 to Northdale Construc-
tion. The Preconstruction Conference was held on June 23, 1988. Northdale is
currently working with two crews - both at Wood Creek and at 22nd Avenue. The
work is scheduled for completion by August 6, 1988.
Other Projects
Project 908-001 - Pike Lake Interceptor Sewer, Phase II - S. J. Louis:
The final payment request has been signed and has been forwarded to the City.
This final payment is temporary on hold, pending resolution of a claim of in-
sufficient payment by a subcontractor. The claim of minor property damage by
an adjacent homeowner has been paid by the Contractor's insurance company. We
understand that the City's Legal Counsel is being consulted regarding the one
remaining claim prior to final payment.
Project 702-1987 Utilities - Berg 2nd Addition - C. S. McCrossan:
This project has been completed and final payment was approved at the July 18,
1988 City Council meeting.

Project 011 -001/630 -Bass Lake Plaza/Harrison Hills Utility Improvements - S.J.
Lml i Q
Minor punchlist and cleanup items remain. The contractor has stated that all
of the remaining work items will be completed by July 29th. We have notified
the Contractor that the project completion date has not been met and that it
is likely that liquidation damages will be assessed by the City. We will con-
tinue to expedite this work until the project is closed out.
Project 720-Fernbrook Woods Utility and Street Improvements - Ceca Utilities:
All work items are completed. The contractor has recently completed all punch
list items. We expect to close out this project in the near future.
Project 517 - Revere Lane - Trenton Place 2nd Addition - Moser Construction:
All work items are completed. The contractor has recently completed all punch
list items. We expect to close out this project in the near future.

The Contractor is replacing the curb ramps this week. A final
review of the project will be completed shortly. A couple of
trees will be replaced along STH 101. The planting will be
delayed until the fall when the trees water demand is lowest and
the chance of survival is the highest.

FROM : Chester J. Harrison, Jr., City Engineer
SUBJECT: EROSION CONTROL
PRIMARY ISSUES AND ANALYSIS: Even though there is still a lack of rain,
erosion control problems still persist. These problems consist of silt in
the streets, damaged silt fence or hay bales, improperly installed silt
fence or hay bales, or lack of the required erosion control measures.
The checklist submitted with this report includes the developer, number and
the description of the problem(s). The description of the problem(s)
include the type, the date the developer or builder was contacted, the date
the street cleaner was contacted if necessary, and the date the problem was
corrected.
A letter of noncompliance has been received from Barr Engineering
concerning developments and buildings within the Bassett Creek Watershed.
There were 25 violations listed. The size of the list brought up enough
concerns by our department that we sent out a letter to the developer or
builder informing them of their problem(s), when they should be corrected,
and the consequences if the problem was not taken care of in the allotted
amount of time. Copies of the letter received from Barr Engineering and
the letter sent out to the developers and builders are attached to this
report.
RECOMMENDATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS: It still seems that a developer or
builder has to be contacted about a problem before it is taken care of. If
they are contacted there is rarely a response and Eric Hesse, our
department contact person, has to call the street cleaners. The developers
and builders seem to think that if the City takes care of it, why should
they. With no extra charge on a street cleaning bill sent directly from
the street cleaning contractor to the developer or builder, it is no
different than if they had called the street cleaner themselves. Some sort
of penalty or fine should be assessed to a builder or developer, if the
City has to call the street cleaner to give them the incentive to take care
of their problem(s).

Dear Mr. Bachman:
The Bassett Creek Watershed Commission has hired a representative from
Barr Engineering to make a monthly inspection on the construction sites
in Plymouth to see if they are in compliance with the City's Erosion
Control Policies. The representative from Barr Engineering, who does the
inspection, then sends a letter to the City of Plymouth informing us of
those sites that are and are not in compliance with our Erosion Control
Policies. Eric Hesse with the City's Engineering Department does his own
inspection and contacts all developers and builders to inform them of the
necessary corrections needed.
Barr Engineering informed us of the following problem with your site:
Concerning the Zachary Water Treatment Plant, silt fence must be
maintained along south boundary of site and extended all the way
to the site entrance to protect the drainage swale and culvert
along Zachary.
We would expect you to correct these problems by July 27. If this is not
done, the City will take action to correct the problem. If it is -
necessary for the City to make the corrections, according to the City's
Erosion Control Policies, the City will bill you the cost of the
corrections plus a 100 percent penalty.
Again, I would appreciate a prompt response. Please call if you have any
questions.
Sincerely,

SUBJECT: INFILTRATION/ INFLOW SITUATION IN THE
AMBERWOODS/HUGHES NEIGHBORHOOD
BACKGROUND: Last summer an initial survey was undertaken in the
Amberwoods/Hughes area in order to ascertain the extent of the
neighborhood I/I problems, i.e. clear water inflow to the sanitary sewer
system from residential sump -pumps. It was found that approximately 25%
of the homes within District 21 (Amberwoods/Hughes) were improperly
connected to the sanitary sewer.
PRIMARY ISSUES AND ANALYSIS: Steven Haubner, a University of Minnesota
engineering intern, will be handling the I/I project this summer.
Letters from the Engineering Department were mailed out on June 22 to all
residents in District 21. The letter restates the I/I problem in the
neighborhood and requests that they contact the City offices to make an
appointment for a sump -pump inspection.
Starting on June 27, Steve will be inspecting these resident's sump -pump
systems and making a general review of the existing surface drainage. If
an improper sump -pump connection is found, recommendations will be made
to the resident on corrective measures to be taken. Each homeowner would
then be required to disconnect their sump -pump from the sanitary sewer
system within 90 days after receiving the recommendation. Follow-up
visits will be made to ensure compliance. Inspection records, in
addition to any other problems and concerns, will be recorded in a
neighborhood file.

SUBJECT: INFILTRATION/INFLOW TO THE SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM
Residents of Amber Woods Addition:
During March of this year, representatives from the City's Engineering
Department met with the Board of Directors of the Amber Woods Homeowner's
Association and held a neighborhood meeting of the Amber Woods Addition.
155 letters were sent to homeowners in the Amber Woods Addition and 24
residents attended the meeting at City Hall on March 15.
After obtaining input from the residents of the Amber Woods Addition, the
Engineering Department submitted a report to the City Council at their
April 18, 1988, meeting. The report contained recommendations for
resolution of the infiltration/inflow problem. Direction was given by the
City Council, and subsequently, in May, a neighborhood meeting was held
with the Hughes Addition residents to explain the problems, obtain input
and discuss proposed solutions. This letter is being sent to 155 residents
of the Amber Woods Addition with a subsequent mailing planned for the
Hughes Addition and Roger L. Johnson's 1st Addition.
It is the intent of the Engineering Department to meet with every homeowner
to discuss the collective, as well as individual problems, and recommend
solutions to both the sump -pump water and subsequent drainage problems.
It would expedite matters if each homeowner would call City Hall and ask
for the Engineering Department after receipt of this letter, Rrior to June
30, 1988. The purpose of the call would be to schedule a meeting at your
residence with our representatives Steven Haubner and Eric Hesse to review
your particular situation. To minimize the project costs, every effort
should be made to meet between the hours of 8:00 A.M. to 4:30 P.M. Monday
thru Friday. If this is not possible, City staff will be available at
other times for your convenience.
It is the intent of the City Council to have all illegal connections to the
City's sanitary sewer system removed by September 30, 1988, with City
approved sump -pump installations in place and in operation by that date.
In the event that illegal connections still remain, we will be recommending
to the City Council that a surcharge be placed on those homes in the amount
of $66 per month. This is the estimated treatment cost for processing
clear water through the sanitary sewer system. Thank you for your
cooperation.
Sincerely,
P'lla

TO: James G. Willis, City Manager through Fred G. Moore, Director of

FROM: John R. Sweeney, Assistant Engineer
SUBJECT: UPDATE ON INFLOW/INFILTRATION
AMBERWOODS/HUGHES ADDITIONS
PRIMARY ISSUES AND ANALYSIS:, As of July 18, seventy, or approximately one-
half of the homes in the Amberwoods neighborhood, have undergone the
required inspection. Ten were found to be improperly connected to the
sanitary sewer system, either directly or by discharging sump -pump water
into a stationary wash tub or floor drain. Recommendations were made to
those improperly connected pertaining to the disconnection of their sump -
pump systems from the sanitary sewer and corresponding proper installation.
Follow-up appointments and inspections with these homeowners will begin on
September 1.
Those residents who have not requested voluntary inspections to date are in
the process of being contacted in order to set up a meeting. The tentative
date for the completion of all initial inspections in the Amberwoods
neighborhood is August 15.
On or before July 25, the second phase of I/I project will be initiated with
letters to all of the residents in the Hughes/Johnson Additions. In
contrast to the first phase, however, Hughes/Johnson residents will be
contacted via telephone in order to set up an inspection appointment --rather
than requiring that the homeowner make the initial contact. Completion of
the Hughes/Johnson neighborhood is estimated to be the beginning of
September.
Thus far, no insursmountable problems have been encountered during the
inspection process. The residents are generally helpful and friendly,
although many are curious as to the need for sump -pump disconnection. The
biggest hindrance to solving the I/I situation seems to be the lack of
understanding or a misunderstanding of the municipal storm drainage and
sanitary sewer systems as well as the effects of sump -pump discharge into
these systems. However, through the inspection meetings and the
distribution of the I/I brochure, most residents find their questions
answered and misconceptions cleared up. This information is attached for
your review.

Re: Quarterly Status Report on Pending Civil Litigation
Dear Jim:
This report covers the pending civil litigation matters
as of July 10, 1988. As with the previous reports, I am
only summarizing the facts and circumstances of the cases
opened since the last report. Again, this report does
not cover matters being handled by the City's insurer.
MATTERS STILL PENDING SINCE LAST REPORT
1. Special Assessment Appeals.
Protect #408 (Dunkirk Lane).
The trial on one of the parcels was held on
March 15, 1988. The trial court upheld the
City's assessment value and dismissed the
plaintiff's appeal. The property owner has
appealed to the Court of Appeals.
2. Eminent Domain Cases.
a. Project #853 (City of Plymouth v.
Cavanaugh).
The case has been assigned to Judge
Minenko for trial. We are waiting to
receive a trial date from Judge Minenko.
b. Project 762 Eminent Domain (Cottonwood
Plaza).
The eminent domain action for the
stormwater holding pond downstream from
James G. Willis

Cottonwood Plaza has been commenced. The
City obtained title to the property on
June 8, 1988. The commissioners have been
appointed, but no date has been set for
the hearing.
CASES CLOSED SINCE LAST REPORT
1. City of Plymouth v. Forster Properties. This
matter has been settled in accordance with the terms
previously approved by the City Council.
2. Belgarde v. City of Plymouth. This matter has
been settled in accordance with the terms previously
approved by the City Council.
NEW MATTERS COMMENCED SINCE LAST REPORT
Bauer v. City of Plymouth. This matter involves a
claim for retirement benefits by a retired firefighter.
The Relief Association is also a defendant and has
retained its own attorney to defend the case. The city

CITY OF PLYMOUTH

DATE: July 21, 1988
TO James G. Willis, City Manager
FROM: Fred G. Moore, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: EXPERIMENTAL WATER PRESSURE PUMP
STATUS REPORT
At the June 27 Council meeting the Council directed that a booster pump be
installed on an experimental basis in a selected residence within the
Imperial Hills area. This experiment was to incorporate consideration of
various risk management concerns.
I have been working with our consultant on the design of the pressure
system and an outline of the data which would be collected from the
experimental pump operation. Also, the City Attorney has prepared a draft
agreement between the City and the homeowner.
The material from our consultant and the agreement is attached along with
a letter submitted to Nancy Dierdorf. I will be meeting with Mrs.
Dierdorf on Monday to finalize if they wish to have the pressure pump in
their home.
Bob Fasching has obtained all of the necessary equipment for the pressure
pump installation, this includes the pump, pressure tank, valves, gauges,
and controls. It will take approximately one day to install the pump.
If the Dierdorfs are not agreeable to the pump installation, we have
reviewed another home which is an acceptable location.

SUBJECT: EXPERIMENTAL PRESSURE PUMP
Dear Nancy:
As we discussed on the telephone, it is possible to use your home as the
location for the experimental pressure pump as authorized by the City
Council. The purpose of the experimental pump is to gather data to be used
by our consultant, City staff, and City Council to aid in a recommendation
for the water pressure issues which you have raised in the Imperial Hills
area.
Enclosed are two documents for your review, one is an agreement between the
City and yourself stating that the City would not be liable for any damages
caused by the pump installation. Also, the agreement states that the pump
is the property of the City of Plymouth.
Also enclosed is a memorandum from our consulting engineer, Bonestroo,
Rosene, Anderlik and Associates, Inc., indicating the data we would be
collecting from the pump. With this material is a schematic diagram of the
pump installation. The pump would be installed under the stairway leading
to the basement.
The data which we would want to collect during the operation of the pump
would require one to two days. This would be done by two technicians
working for the consulting engineer. This would be done at a mutually
agreeable time between yourself and the City. These times would need to
correspond with low pressure in the City system at approximately noon and
higher pressures which we have in the early evening hours. It would not be
necessary to have both days consecutive.
You may wish to consult with your homeowners insurance agent on the
installation of the pressure pump. The City would install the pump in
accordance with plumbing and electrical codes.

Teel precharged water tanks have appermanent,
factory pressurized air charge which is totally
isolated from the water and can never be ab-
sorbed as with standard style tanks. This allows
the tank to deliver the maximum amount of
water each time and virtually eliminates the
possibility of water logging- The utilization of a
pre -charged tank in the water well s> stem will
allow the pump to work less by reducing the
amount of pumping cycles and extend pump life.
The interior of each tank Is epoxy coated for
added corrosion resistance and has an exterior
