Public Hearings
7.1) Tobacco Compliance Check Violation — Snyder Drug Store #79, 4132 Lancaster Lane
North
Lieutenant Franz reported on the second tobacco compliance check violation by Snyder Drug
Store No. 79. He stated the offense occurred on April 1, 2002 in which the store clerk sold
tobacco products to a minor. He explained Section 1150.10, Subd. C, outlines a presumptive
penalty of $750 and a 15 -day license suspension for a second violation for a non -participating
best practice establishment. He noted that the store clerk was charged in District Court with a
misdemeanor for selling tobacco to a minor.
Mayor Tierney opened the public hearing for testimony.
Ron Barstow, Store Manager and Nancy Headman, the store clerk who was charged in the
incident, appeared before the Council to admit their wrongdoing. Mr. Barsto explained Ms.
Headman received a $50 fine, and it was waived. He indicated their intent to participate in the
City's Best Practices Program.
There being no one else wishing to appear before the Council to give testimony, Mayor Tierney
declared the public hearing closed.
Motion was made by Councilmember Slavik, and seconded by Councilmember Black, to adopt a
Resolution Imposing a Civil Penalty of a $750 Fine and a 15 -Day License Suspension for SnYder

222,078.17. She stated Richard Kariniemi has presented a purchase offer of $233,500 with a
net price to the City after selling expenses of $221,896.43. She noted that the Council conducted
a Special Meeting prior to the Regular Meeting this evening, and the Council set a deadline for
all purchase offers at 6:55 p.m. She commented that the seller's costs are less for the
Middendorf offer as there is no agent. ,
John Wichmann, from Coldwell Banker Burnet Realty, representing Mr. Kariniemi, stated it was
brought to their attention this evening that they could submit a counter offer by 6:55 p.m. He
stated Mr. Kariniemi would like the opportunity to submit a counter offer, but Ms. Griffith was
still working on the Middendorf s offer at 7:10 p.m.
Mayor Tierney stated that both parties were noticed that 6:55 p.m. was the deadline for counter
offers.
Ms. Griffith stated the Middendorf s submitted their counter offer prior to the 6:55 p.m. deadline.
She also asked Scott Frank, who represented Mr. Kariniemi at the Council's Special Meeting, if
they were going to submit a counter offer, and Mr. Frank replied no.
Mr. Frank stated that staff had a deadline of 4:00 p.m. today for all offers, and Mr. Kariniemi had
the highest purchase offer at that time.
Motion was made by Councilmember Stein, and seconded by Councilmember Hewitt, to adoptta
Resolution Accepting the Purchase Offer from Brad and Nicole Middendorf for 3030 County
Road 101 (Res2002-327.

proceeds to the City. They also reiterated that both parties were present at the Special Council
Meeting this evening and were aware of the 6:55 p.m. deadline for counter offers.
There being no further discussion and with all members voting in favor, the motion carried.
City Manager Johnson noted that there have been no purchase offers received for 3225 County
Road 101.
8.1) Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program
Traffic Engineer Stueve presented to the Council the proposed Neighborhood Traffic Calming
Program. She stated this program is designed to address traffic concerns on local and minor
collector streets in residential areas by using education, enforcement and engineering efforts,
which would be implemented in a systematic two-phase process. Educating the public on traffic
issues is the first phase of the process. She stated education and enforcement efforts are effective
tools that can be used to change the attitude and behavior of drivers with minimal costs. During
this phase, the City would also consider non-physical roadway changes such as pavement
markings and signing to change drivers' habits or increase awareness. If these efforts wouldn't
Adopted Council Minutes
Regular Meeting of July 9, 2002
Page 7 of 13
be effective in solving the traffic problem, engineering solutions, which involve structural
roadway treatments and all -way stop control at intersections, may be considered. She stated
those properties that abut the roadway would be assessed 75% of the cost for traffic calming
measures with the remaining 25% being assessed to adjacent residents in the area that would
benefit from the traffic calming measures. In addition, in order to petition for a stop sign, 75%
of the property owners within 500 feet of the intersection or properties that reasonably access the
intersection would need to sign the petition.
Councilmember Harstad asked if there would be an engineering solution to the problem, would
1.00% of the costs be assessed directly to the impacted properties. Public Works Director
Faulkner replied yes; however, staff is still "fine tuning" the costs.
Councilmember Harstad suggested that this information be printed on the petition so residents
are aware of the assessments.
Councilmember Hewitt thanked staff for the report. She asked what the process would be to
request enforceable 25 mph for one-half mile roadways. Traffic Engineer Stueve replied that
would be a non-physical roadway change so a petition process wouldn't be necessary. She stated
residents would complete steps one through three under the Phase I section of the policy.
Councilmember Slavik requested that the language regarding speed limits be "stronger" in the
language of the new policy. This would include information on the new legislation for the
enforceable 25 mph for one-half mile roadways.
Councilmember Black stated she is uncomfortable with the language "any interested resident"
contained in Step 1 of the First Phase process. She stated there would be a lot of staff time
involved for just one resident's request. Traffic Engineer Stueve stated that is staffs current
policy.
Councilmember Harstad asked if staff is behind in analyzing requests. Traffic Engineer Stueve
replied staff can only collect data during the summer, and currently staff is two to three weeks
out in collecting data.
Mayor Tierney voiced her concern that the City wouldn't be assessing the offenders. She noted
that speed humps would be included in the new policy, and she asked if residents are required to
pay the costs to have the speed humps removed.
Public Works Director Faulkner stated the benefited area would be required to pay for the speed
hump costs as they would be improving the quality of life in the immediate neighborhood.
Councilmember Stein stated he doesn't support speed humps, and he would prefer to implement
this new program without the speed hump component. He stated no one wants to pay for the
costs of speed humps, and no one wants to drive over them. He would like to keep the speed

hump moratorium, which would give the City a year to analyze the results of the new
Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program.
Trac Engineer Stueve stated she doesn't envision many requests for speed humps as the
residents would need to pay for them, and they would need more support from the neighborhood.
Mayor Tierney agreed with Councilmember Stein to keep the moratorium in place for the speed
humps while the Council considers other traffic control measures. She stated constructing speed
humps with a height of four inches is disastrous, but she noted that the policy would require that
they be three inches in height. She also commented that she likes the idea of moving speed
trailers around the City.
Traffic Engineer Stueve stated that the installation of stop signs would be exempt from special
assessment costs. Only structural roadway changes, including speed humps, would be assessed.
Councilmember Harstad stated regarding s9eed trailers, there is the technology available to add a
camera to the trailer and dial it in to the 85 percentile. The City wouldn't only have a record of
a person speeding but their picture as well. He also stated in the proposed policy, there could
J only be one vote per household for a petition. He indicated that not all occupants of the
household would agree on every issue. Therefore, perhaps there could be "half votes" for two
person adult households.
Mayor Tierney asked how many speed trailers does the City currently have and would there be a
need to have more. Lieutenant Franz stated the City currently has one speed trailer, and that
trailer is placed in those areas addressed by the Engineering Department. Traffic Engineer
Stueve added she doesn't see a need for two speed trailers.
Mayor Tierney reiterated her concern with installation of speed humps, and she encouraged the
Council to avoid them whenever possible.
Motion was made by Councilmember Black, and seconded by Mayor Tierney, to adopt a
Resolution Authorizing the Implementation of the City of Plymouth's Neighborhood Traffic
Calming Program and Revisions to the City's Current Policy Concerning Requests for Stop Sign
Installations (Res2002-326).
Councilmembers Slavik and Hewitt requested that the following paragraph be removed under
Program Criteria:
The City Council understands that because of the emotional situation often associated with
some requests, it is sometimes difficult to analyze such requests using rational criteria. To
enhance the City Council's ability to use rational criteria in evaluation these requests and
minimize the installation of unnecessary signage and traffic control devices throughout the City
and provide for safer and more livable neighborhoods, guidelines should be established."

Motion was made by Mayor Tierney, and seconded by Councilmember Hewitt, to approve the
requested amendment as noted above. With all members voting in favor, the motion carried.
Motion was made by Mayor Tierney, and seconded by Councilmember Black, to include
language in the policy regarding enforcing 25 mph in those areas that under one-half mile. With
all members voting in favor, the motion carried.
City Manager Johnson stated if it's the Council's desire to maintain the moratorium on speed
humps for another year, it wouldn't be an amendment to the text of the policy but rather an
amendment to the main motion.
Councilmember Stein reiterated his desire to remove the speed hump section from the policy.
Traffic Engineer Stueve noted that in the policy, the Council would maintain discretion on what
restrictions and regulations that would apply to a public street regardless of the outcome of the
traffic analysis and neighborhood petition.
Mayor Tierney stated if that is the case, the Council could leave the speed hump section in the
policy and continue the moratorium.
Motion was made by Councilmember Stein, and seconded by Councilmember Hewitt, to remove
the speed hump section from the policy and insert the language the City prohibits the use of
speed humps as a traffic -calming device.
Councilmember Stein stated if speed humps were included in the program, residents would view
this measure as an option. He questioned the need to include speed humps in the policy until the
moratorium is lifted.
Councilmember Black stated she believes residents would still request speed humps even if it
wasn't included in the policy. Therefore, she supports including speed humps in the policy with
guidelines and place a moratorium on them.
Mayor Tierney stated it would be difficult to have a moratorium on speed humps if the language
is removed from the policy.
Councilmember Stein stated the educational effort of this program should be given an
opportunity before reviewing requests for speed humps. He supports the language that the City
prohibits the use of speed humps as a traffic -calming device. Citizens would then be made
aware that they are not an option.
Councilmember Harstad stated he agrees with Councilmember Black. He stated even if speed
humps would be petitioned, there would basically be a two-year process, and the residents would
be assessed for the costs of the speed humps. He stated he doesn't support speed humps, but if
Adopted Council Minutes
Regular Meeting of July 9, 2002
Page 10 of 13
there were no other viable solution during that two-year period of time, the Council would still
consider it.
Councilmember Stein noted that not only is the Council divided on whether they support speed
humps, but neighborhoods are also divided. Those that don't want speed humps are just angry
once they are constructed. He feels that the City should prohibit the use of speed humps, as there
are other measures to enforce traffic rules without the use of speed humps and narrowing
roadways. He stated rather than assessing neighborhoods for the cost of speed humps, the City
should hire police officers to only serve as traffic control officers. He believes a successful
educational effort would solve the majority of the traffic control problems i.e. drivers not
stopping at stop signs, with minimal cost to the City.
City Manager Johnson suggested that there be no speed humps on minor collector streets but still
allow them under the conditions noted in the policy as a possibility for very residential streets
i.e. 8"' Avenue).
Mayor Tierney asked how that would apply to South Shore Drive since that is a minor collector
street. City Manager Johnson replied it would apply prospectively not retrospectively.
Therefore, South Shore Drive, Niagara, and 19th Avenue wouldn't have received speed humps, if
the new policy had been in place, but 8t` Avenue could, as it is a very self-contained
neighborhood.
Public Works Director Faulkner stated speed humps are more effective on a minor collector
street where there is a residential neighborhood, and the drivers outside of the neighborhood are
traveling at excess speeds. The benefit would be to the residents who requested the speed hump.
City Manager Johnson stated he is more concerned about emergency vehicle access to the minor
collector streets, with regard to the impact of speed humps.
Councilmember Black stated according to the proposed policy, there would be a full educational
effort for a year before the Council would consider any structural changes to roadways. She
reiterated that it would be better to have speed humps included in the policy in a comprehensive
way. If necessary, the Council could always place a moratorium on speed humps in the future.
Councilmember Slavik stated she wouldn't support the motion. She stated that there would be a
long process to request speed humps, but there could be instances throughout the City where they
could be a viable solution. She noted that the use of speed humps on Niagara Lane appear to
have solved the problem for the neighborhood.
The Council voted on the amendment and with all members voting against the motion but Hewitt
and Stein, and motion failed.
Motion was made by Councilmember Harstad, and seconded by Councilmember Black to amend
the include language on the petition that the costs for any structural changes to roadways would

motion carried.
The Council voted on the amended main motion, and with all members voting in favor, the
motion carried.
Motion was made by Councilmember Slavik, and seconded by Councilmember Black, adopt the
proposed revised Stop Sign Policy with the amendment to remove the second paragraph in the
that reads "The City Council is aware that because of the emotional situation often surrounding
such requests, it is sometimes difficult to analyze the request using rational criteria."
Councilmember Stein requested a friendly amendment to the motion to amend the third
paragraph in the policy to read "To enhance the Council's ability to evaluate stop sign requests
and minimize the proliferation of signage, except where required, the following guidelines are
adopted." The friendly amendment was accepted.
There being no further discussion and with all members voting in favor, the motion carried.
Councilmember Black requested that amended copies of the Neighborhood Traffic Calming.

Mayor Tierney voiced her support for the contribution.
There being no further discussion and with all members voting in favor, the motion carried.
8.4) Consideration of Participation in League of Minnesota Cities National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System Phase II Guide Plan
Councilmember Black commented that this program is targeting cities, but the watersheds would
