FOR YOUR INFORMATION....
1. MUNICIPAL LEGISLATIVE COMMISSION ANNUAL MEETING -- The Municipal
Legislative Commission held its annual meeting on January 15 at the
Decathlon Club in Bloomington. Mayor Schneider, Councilmember Crain
and I were present representing Plymouth. The four policy
resolutions reviewed by the City Council at the January 13 meeting
were adopted by the Municipal Legislative Commission membership. In
the course of adopting these policy positions, discussion took place
on whether or not school districts should be exempted from state
budget reductions. Those present concurred that since the
Governor's current proposal excludes school districts, it is likely
that they will not be asked to bear the same or greater burden than
local governments in making up the deficit. On this basis, the
policy was adopted as submitted. All in all, the annual MLC meeting
was a success with 21 of the 35 legislators represented by member
cities participating. Plymouth legislators present included
Representatives Dale Clausntizer and Craig Shaver. Each member city
had representation including two potential new city members to the
MLC: Lakeville and Inver Grove Heights.

phase in the implementation of construction at Parker's Lake City
Park. The major focus of this program is to increase the number and
quality of evergreen and hardwood trees throughout the entire park

years to complete. If Councilmembers should receive phone calls
about the cutting, please ask the callers to contact either Steve
Cook, the City Forester, or Eric Blank to explain exactly what the

RE: Board of Zoning Adjustments and Appeals
Dear Mayor Schneider:
Please accept this letter as my request to not be reappointed
to the Board of Zoning Adjustments and Appeals.
I have sold my house in Plymouth and, at this time, do not know
if I will be buying another house in Plymouth. Therefore, I
do not think it would be fair to ask for reappointment with
a potential resignation due within six months.
I have enjoyed my tenure on this Board and regret having to
make this decision.
Very truly yours,

Plymouth, MN 55447
Dear Mayor Schneider:
I was truly amazed last week when I received the call that my term
on the Board of Zoning was up for reappointment. The time has
gone by so quickly that I feel the term had bearly begun. The
Board has started on some new projects which I feel will help it
and future Boards serve the City. Because of these projects, the
time process seems to compress itself and there never is enough
time to do all that we want.
With the thought of these new projects in mind and knowing that
the Vice -Chair has requested not to be reappointed, I would ask
you and the council to consider me for reappointment to another
term. I am mindful of harm in staying too long in one position
but I feel I can still contribute constructive input without
being stodgy.
I hope you will look favorably on this request.
Sincerely,
Lawrence P. Maro sky

SUBJECT Tree Removal at Parkers Lake
As per our conversations, there is a fair amount of tree removal and clean-
up to do in the Parkers Lake park area.
The most immediate need is in the southwest corner where red pine and spruce
were planted approximately 30-40 years ago. Many of the evergreens have
survived but there are several problems. First, leaf -bearing trees such
as cottonwood, elm, and boxelder and silver maple have seeded into the
area, matured, and now overtop the evergreens. Their future presence
threatens the survival of the evergreens. There are sections of the
stand where already all the evergreens have been killed by the shadowing
affects of these trees.
Since we already have an established evergreen stand, and since the species
encroaching are limited in their desirability, we have discussed removing
this new =vcr_tory ar.4 preserving the evergreens.
The second concern with the pines is that they do need to be thinned in
certain areas. By removing some of the trees and creating a better
spacing for the remaining ones, we will create a healthier, more attractive
stand of evergreens.
We also plan to plant some of the open spaces back to pine and spruce to
fill in for the trees that were lost and keep the type of privacy the area
now offers.
There is other tree removal work that will also be needed in the park;
cleaning up fallen and dead trees, removing trees for future building
sites and occasionally for the trail corridor.
See map below showing the areas of emphasis.

have not demonstrated they can control the situation. He
feels the vehicles are in "dead storage" and it his opinion
this is not in keeping with City regulations. He stated he
had called the City to report that a Recreational Vehicle
had been parking in this lot. The City investigated and had
the vehicle removed. There have been house break-ins in the
neighborhood, vehicles are parked in this lower lot, close
to the residential area, which diminishes the chances of the
residents being able to identify vehicles from which someone
could be "casing" the homes. He is also concerned that the
storage of vehicles on the lot will diminish the value of
his home. He stated that it is a question of the City "re-
warding" McCombs -Knutson by approving their application;and,
there should be strict regulations on outside storage of
vehicles.
Mr. Itman stated it is his opinion that planting trees at
the property line will not screen the lot from the
residences.
Craig Degendorfer, 2320 Quinwood Lane North, stated he con-
curs with Mr. Itman's comments and that the trees will not
offer dny of the other homeowners screening from the
vehicles parked on this lot. He stated he was aware that
the land was industrial when he bought his home, however,
there was no building on the site at that time. He stated
he was told by Carlson Companies that the natural vegetation
would remain as a buffer between the industrial land and
residential area but subsequently all the trees were
removed. He stated it is his opinion that it would be
setting a precedent to approve this Permit. He has called
the City on numerous occasions to report that Lapin Electric
is storing pipes and materials outside. The City has
inspected the site and had it cleaned up; but in a short
time he sees Lapin Electric again storing materials outside
the building.
Robert MacDonald, 2310 Quinwood Lane, stated he has identi-
cal concerns. He realizes the lot must be used for parking
cars, but does not want to have long-term parking allowed.
He reiterated that he is fearful about the break-ins occur-
ring in his neighborhood and that the residents all feel a
sense of vulnerability because of the access and exit pro-
vided from the industrial area. He stated that parking the
vehicles on the upper lot would reduce the impact to the
residences, and in this way the residents could watch for
unauthorized vehicles in the lower lot. He stated agreement
that the trees would not serve as screening for all the
impacted residences, but he did appreciate the selection of
coniferous trees for year-round screening.

Cecil Grandprey, 2105 Oakvie" Lane, stated he is concerned
and irritated by the odors and pollution that emanate from
the area. He is concerned with the carbon monoxide and nox-
ious odors and would like to see less vehicles in the area.
He noted that offensive odors also occur on Saturdays.
Greg Frank stated they only park their company vehicles on
a short-term, over -night basis. Chairman Steigerwald in-
quired about parking during the last snow storm. Mr. Frank
stated that all the vehicles are used daily; and that per-
haps the only time there would be vehicles left parked in
the lot would be during a storm, and this would be only a
matter of two or three days. He stated McCombs -Knutson has
one 4 -wheel drive vehicle that is an older model but is used
daily; they also have an inspection van and survey vehicle
that are used daily. He stated they could consider relocat-
ing the vehicles but they are also concerned for security of
their property. He stated that the odors do not emanate
from McCombs -Knutson, Associates. They are an engineering
firm and have basic office functions. He noted that the
recreational vehicle mentioned did not belong to McCombs -
Knutson or any of its employees.
Commissioner Plufka inquired how many employees use the
vehicles per day. Mr. Frank stated there is one employee to
each vehicle, and several different employees use the 4 -
wheel drive. Commissioner Plufka inquired if the employees
could drive these vehicles to their homes at night and on
weekends. Mr. Frank stated that most of the employees who
use the vehicles drive their own cars and do not care to
drive the company vehicles back and forth to work. Mr.
Frank stated he does not know who the residents spoke to at
McCombs -Knutson regarding their concerns. He stated he had
taken no calls from residents, but they are welcome to ex-
press their concerns any time.
Kathy Horan, Lincoln Properties, stated they, as the proper-
ty owner, are willing to provide adequate screening and will
cooperate with the City in looking at any alternatives that
may be suggested.
Mr. Degendorfer stated plantings should be installed to re-
place those removed during development of the industrial
area. In response to Mr. Frank, he stated that in the last
two years he has called McCombs -Knutson, Inc. regarding
these concerns. Mr. Itman reiterated that the vehicles are
parked on the site every day and night, and on weekends; not
just two or three days as stated.
Chairman Stegierwald closed the Public Hearing.

Chairman Steigerwald stated his concern that the installa-
tion of trees could increase the likelihood of burglaries in
the area because of the cover it would provide. He stated
that perhaps fencing would be more appropriate, but that
this could become an eyesore if not properly maintained.
Commissioner Plufka concurred, noting that fencing would
prohibit movement of people from the industrial area into
the residential neighborhood. He inquired if parking behind
the building would be a better alternative.
Comissioner Mellen stated that on visiting the site he noted
one vehicle that had not been cleaned of snow cover which
means it had been parked over a long period of time. He
concurs with the alternative using fencing, but that fenc-
ing will not contribute to the aesthetics of the area.
Commissioner Stulberg questioned whether overnight parking
should be allowed, and if it is allowed, he suggested that
only the survey vehicles be parked on the lot and a better
solution would be to move them to the upper lot.
Mr. Itman stated that vehicles parked on the west and east
sides of the building do not seem to be as much of an impact
and are not as readily seen from the residences.
Coordinator McConn requested that if the Commission moves
for approval, they consider an additional condition that
would require a Site Improvement Performance Agreement be
executed with the submittal of a financial guarantee for the
installation and survivability of the plantings.
MOTION by Chairman Steigerwald, seconded by Commissioner NOTION TO DENY
Stulberg to recommend denial of the Conditional Use Permit
for outside storage of vehicles for McCombs -Knutson, Associ-
ates based on the fact the petitioner has not demonstrated
compliance with the Ordinance provisions which state that
off-street parking and loading areas near or adjoining resi-
dence districts shall be screened by a buffer fence of ade-
quate design or a planting buffer screen. Chairman
Steigerwald noted that if they were not next to a Residen-
tial District perhaps the screening would be adequate.

Chairman Steigerwald introduced the request by Stuart Nolan,
Stuart Corporation, and requested an overview of the Decem-
ber 30, 1985 staff report by Coordinator McConn.
Coordinator McConn referred to changes to the requirement
for park dedication in that a 5 -ft. concrete sidewalk shall
be constructed along 37th and 38th Avenues North; that an
easement will be required; cash dedication requirements are
satisfied at time of Building Permit issuance.
Chairman Steigerwald introduced Mr. Stuart Nolan, Stuart
Corporation. Mr. Nolan stated he had no comments or ques-
tions on the planning staff report. He stated he enjoyed
working with City of Plymouth staff who were knowledgeable
and informative during the review process. He stated he did
have some questions regarding the Engineer's Memorandum,
specifically Items 2.0 and 26 regarding catch basins and
sewer and water. He requested that their engineer meet with
the City engineers to finish working through these items to-
gether and decide on the proper procedures. Mr. Nolan also
was concerned about Item No. 4 regarding the assessments to
be levied. City Engineer Goldberg stated they would work
with Stuart Corporation's engineers regarding those items.
Chairman Steigerwald informed Mr. Nolan that the assessment
issue would be handled by the City Council.
C' ir(iian Steigerwald opened the Public Hearing.
Joe Mahovsky, 15359 39th Avenue North, President of the
Creekside of Plymouth Homeowner's Association, inquired
about the underground parking and asked whether there would
be a two-tier open parking structure near the creek. Mr.
Nolan stated there is no two-tier parking structure plan-
ned. He stated it would be a quality apartment complex.
Mr. Mahovsky inquired if these buildings and units would be
comparable to those developed by Tipton Corporation. Mr.
Nolan stated theirs are higher calibre. He explained the
site entrances and building layout and noted there will be
some passive activities on-site such as a tot lot or play
area; and, perhaps a tennis court.
Chairman Steigerwald inquired about the typical floor plan.
Mr. Nolan stated there would be three types, 1, 2, and 3 -
bedroom; and, units for handicapped tenants.
Chairman Steigerwald inquired about the landscaping. Mr.
Nolan stated they will not be disturbing the land at the
creekside; they will use a variety of trees including conif-
erous, deciduous and flowering varieties and he explained
the various sizes.

Chairman Steigerwald inquired about the building elevation.
Mr. Nolan stated the buildings will be three floors at
approximately 40 to 45 ft. to roof peaks.
Mr. Mahovsky inquired about the closest point the buildings
will be to the creekside. Mr. Nolan stated the parking will
be approximately 50 ft. from the property line, and the
building will be another 130 to 140 ft. from the creekside.
Mr. Mahovsky inquired about disturbance of the earth at the
creekside. Mr. Nolan stated their plan has been reviewed by
the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and the Bassett
Creek Watershed District will require a Permit be secured.
The development plan must meet the regulations for erosion
control.
Mr. Mahovsky inquired about the lighting for the buildings
and parking lot. Mr. Nolan reviewed the luminaire plan de-
tailing the lighting standards; there will be no lighting at
the back of the buildings. Mr. Mahovsky inquired about the
patios and balconies, and whether tenants would be allowed
to store items such as barb-que's. Coordinator McConn
stated that the Fire Code prohibits the use of bar-b-que's
on decks, balconies, and patios. Mr. Nolan stated they will
abide by the standard rules for multi -tenant buildings.
Mr. Mahovsky inquired about regulation of the color of the
dL-dPt!5 used ill Ulu building. Mr. Nolan stated the tenants
would select their own draperies. He noted that bar-b-ques
are planned to be installed in the courtyard areas for
tenant use.
Mr. Rock Lindlan, 15225 39th Avenue North, stated that he
had visited the City to review the development plans. He
stated that he enjoys the setting of his townhouse with the
nature trails and creek area. It is his opinion that the
City has required good site planning in this area. However,
he is concerned that the parking for this project is too
close to the creek and will adversely affect the natural
area; and, that the lighting from the complex will impact
the neighboring residences. He stated that if this plan
were like the buildings to the north, he would feel comfort-
able with the plan. He stated he paid additional money for
his property and now will have to share it with large scale
buildings looking down on his property diminishing the priv-
acy of his home.
Chairman Steigerwald inquired what the setback is from Mr.
Lindlan's home to the creek. Mr. Lindlan stated his home is
set back 60 ft. from the creekside.

January 9, 1986
In response to Chairman Steigerwald, City Engineer Goldberg
stated the proposed building is 140 feet and, the parking
lot is setback 50 ft. to the property line.
Mr. Mahovsky inquired about the types and wattage of the
lighting to be used. Mr. Nolan stated the pole standards
would be 15 ft., 100 watt, high pressure sodium, amber
color.
The Commission discussed the floor elevations of Mr.
Lindlan's unit. Mr. Nolan stated that in looking at plans
you can lose the perspective of the buildings. He stated
this is a different site from Creekplace and Summer Creek,
as they have a somewhat limited street frontage. He stated
they took great pains to place the buildings and parking
within the City's requirements. They are requesting no
variances and have maximized the visibility and openess of
the site. He stated that a project this size must have
parking, but the underground parking will eliminate large
numbers of cars that would be viewed from the site. It is
his opinion this is a very good plan.
Mr. Mahovsky inquired about the parking ratio. Mr. Nolan
stated the underground parking is one to one. Mr. Mahovsky
inquired why the plan would need the amount of surface park-
ing proposed. Mr. Nolan stated it meets the City's
riyuirimi.i � 15 .
The Commission discussed the screening between these proper-
ties in reference to Mr. Lindlan's concerns. Chairman
Steigerwald stated that because of the distance and the
softening effect of the screening it will meet Ordinance re-
quirements. Commissioner Stulberg stated that the develop-
er's landscape plans to screen the project from other prop-
erties uses good screening materials.
Mr. Lindlan stated he has looked at 100 such proposals in
that he is the former Mayor of Mound, Minnesota. He stated
he knows what is ideal and is well aware that the design and
plans could better protect the creek. He stated that the
parking area will negatively impact the creekside, and this
is not a good plan; the buildings are forced to the
creekside.
Coordinator McConn stated that a part of the site is within
the Shoreland Management Area and the Department of Natural
Resources (DNR) has reviewed the plans. They have commented
that the plans respond to all requirements and satisfy the
City's standards. She stated that a Permit will be required
from the Watershed District.

Mr. Mahovsky inquired if a bond will be required to assure
that all the landscaping will be installed. Chairman
Steigerwald stated this was correct and the bond is held by
the City until the work is complete and the plantings have
survived one winter season.
Chairman Steigerwald closed the Public Hearing.
MOTION by Commissioner Stulberg, seconded by Commissioner NOTION TO APPROVE
Magnus to recommend approval for the Residential Planned
Unit Development Final Plan/Plat, Site Plan, and Conditional
Use Permit for Stuart Nolan, Stuart Corporation, subject to
the conditions as stated in the December 30, 1985 staff re-
port and correcting the condition on park dedication as
verbally noted by Coordinator McConn.
MOTION by Commissioner Plufka, seconded by Commissioner NOTION TO AMEND
Stulberg to Amend the Motion to assure that the landscaping
treatment on the east side of the northeast parking lot is
identical to the landscaping on the west side of the same
lot; four additional Colorado Green Spruce, a minimum of 8
ft. in height are to be installed on the east side of the
northeast lot. He stated additional conifers would soften
the parking area to the neighboring residences.
Mr. Lindlan stated that compliance with this will be minimal
at best because the tenants of the complex will want a clear
view of the creekside; and, that the people in those units
deserve a view of the creek just as he does. He stated that
to depend on plantings to screen the properties is not feas-
ible and there will be little if any compliance.
Commissioner Stulberg stated this condition is made so that
landscaping on both sides of the site match. It provides a
break-up and softening of the view to the parking areas.

relates to the Sign Program and Variance, he differs with VARIANCE (85125)
So. ,

the recommendation by staff. He stated that by explaining
their case he hopes the Commission will make a recommenda-
tion contrary to that of staff.
He referenced the letter that was prepared to Justify the
signage proposal. He explained with a slide presentation
how the landscaping treatment and signage would look at the
entrances to the business center buildings.
Commissioner Plufka confirmed that the signs cannot be read
from Highwy 55. Mr. Worthington stated this was not the
case, that berminq will hide the identification signs used
within the project.
Mr. Worthington stated the center is described as high tech;
the use is hybrid, with office/office showroom, some light
production, and all the buildings will be finished space.
He stated that if the Commission does not agree with the
plan and recommends Ordinance compliance the hardship would
arise from the disruption of the marketing plans they've
made.
Chairman Steigerwald inquired why this sign program should
be different from, as an example, the Northwest Business
Campus. Mr. Worthington stated he agrees that this type of
development is seen all through the City, but in his
opinion their packdye is Superior, Lht buiidiny-s are cleaner
looking providing better aesthetics. He stated that he is
trying to communicate a trend that will give a much better
looking project.
Chairman Steigerwald stated his concern about setting a
precedent and that it appears the clients for this develop-
ment will be similar to those in the Northwest Business
Campus where Prudential has utilized wall signage. He in-
quired if Mr. Worthington thought there would be a problem
of maintenance and snow removal around the proposed signs.
Commissioner Plufka stated he thought there was very little
difference in what each of these developments were trying to
accomplish with tenant identification. He stated it is not
a matter of larger signs (in total size) and would be pref-
erable and more desirable than the typical signage. He
stated he doesn't see that it would be setting precedent
when reviewing projects of this size where a complete sign-
age program would be submitted for review.
Commissioner Stulberg asked what the uniqueness would be to
this variance request. Chairman Steigerwald stated that it
is a new idea for signage. Commissioner Plufka stated it
would not be a bad precedent to consider a signage program,

such as this proposal, for a multiple tenant building
project. Chairman Steigerwald stated that names on the
buildings may not be the only type of signage program that
would be acceptable.
Mr. Worthington stated that this proposal is for the last of
their sites along Highway 55 and they want a good finish to
their development.
Coordinator McConn stated staff's concern for setting prece-
dent and new development proposals straying from the tra-
ditional sign programs such as those presented by Trammell
Crow Company; Prudential for Northwest Business Campus; and,
Carlson Companies. She stated the Commission should be
comfortable with their recommendation because they will be
seeing these proposals again.
Chairman Steigerwald stated if this is approved the City
Council may consider amending the Ordinance, especially if
variance proposals such as this continue to be reviewed,
In response to Chairman Steigerwald, Coordinator McConn ex-
plained the Ordinance measurements of sign surface. Chair-
man Steigerwald stated he has a problem leaving the bottom
space open under the sign, and would limit the sign to 5 112
ft. in height, with a face of 3 ft. x 3 ft. for the actual
sign on each side.
Mr. Worthington stated as they will be the owners and will
manage the property, they are sensitive to the maintenance
and the creation of uniformity. It is his opinion that
there should be an adjustment made to the Sign Ordinance to
allow a conditional permit for a comprehensive sign program
for large projects. This would assure the developer can
prove the sign program is justified. He stated he realizes
that staff's recommendation is based on the Ordinance they
have to work with now.
Coordinator McConn stated if the Commission finds it approp-
riate to approve the Sign Program and Variance, they should
include Item No. 4 of the December 30, 1985 staff report
that legal covenants be prepared establishing the sign pro-
gram for the two separate parcels. Mr. Worthington stated
he had no objection to recording such covenants on the
property.
MOTION by Chairman Steigerwald, seconded by Commissioner MOTION TO APPROVE
Stulberg to recommend approval of the Lot Division, Site

2. Letters of appreciation sent to the mayors of the nine munici-
palities for their support of Commission activities and espec-
ially for the dedicated support of the Commissioners. A
response was received from Mayor Fraser of Minneapolis thanking
for the commendations for Messrs. Smith and Hoshaw.
3. Letter from Mr. Fischer of the Corps of Engineers to the effect
that apportioned funds are only to be spent on planning and
engineering but that they were scheduling construction to begin
in July 1986 and were optimistic that remaining issues will be
resolved and that construction funds will be available to begin
the project.
Counsel
1. Mr. Pearson read a letter in which the Minneapolis Park Board
had indicated that they see Bassett Creek becoming increasingly
important to the Park System particularly where Bassett Creek
joins the Mississippi River. Mr. Pearson said he felt that the
letter was very positive in terms of cooperation of the Board
with the Commission insofar as easements for the Theodore Wirth
control structure and inundation area are concerned.
2. Received three copies of model cooperative agreements. Formal
negotiations will commence in January 1986.
Engineer
1. Had received
firmed by the
Public Works.
tions to Mr.
a communication regarding Mr. Dawson being con -
Senate as the Assistant Secretary of the Army for
Chairman Enck will send a letter of congratula-
Dawson.
2. Copy of draft letter to Roger Borg of the Federal Highway Ad-
ministration requesting advance funding for construction of
Third Avenue Distributor tunnel. The letter indicated that the
cooperative project between MnDOTT and Bassett Creek would re-
sult in a savings of $660,000. There has been a change in the
state's position regarding the possibility of using State funds
for the Bassett Creek share of the project until Federal funds
are received from the Corps of Engineers. Someone from Plan-
ning and Programming has suggested that state funding be used
and the possibility will be reviewed during the next several
weeks.
3. Mr. Kremer briefly discussed status of Corps of Engineers with
the Commission. Chairman Enck had written a letter to the
Corps pointing out the importance of the construction funds for
the project and the need to start construction of the Wirth
Park control structure and the Golden Valley Golf Club control
structure in the summer of 1986.

NEW BUSINESS
1. Proposed plan for 10 story office building, 2 story parking
ramp and 120 apartment units at Site A, Valley Square, the
former Reese Greenhouse site. Mr. John Karwacke of Schoell-
Madsen was in attendance. The management envelope is 889.
There is about 1.6 AF of fill below the management envelope
proposed as part of the development and compensating storage is
being provided. A sedimentation pond is to be provided for
water quality enhancement with a skimming device to prevent
floating materials from discharging into the creek. A proposed
skimmer is a timber structure. Mr. Kremer indicated that he
would like the developer to take a boring to see if there is a
good enough foundation to put a manhole between the pond and
the creek. In the manhole a weir would be installed to sub-
merge the pond outlet. It was noted by one of the Commission-
ers that there was no good access of the outlet for
maintenance. If the city will want an easement, maintenance
will be the city's responsibility. The Commission can't insist
on accessibility for access but can recommend it. If there is
a submerged outlet, you wouldn't have the same situation but at
some point, it will still need cleaning. The manhole will have
to be cleaned out too. The developer wants to keep the whole
area as natural as possible. It was asked whether Golden Val-
ley had a minimum requirement for green space. Mr. Kremer
replied that the area below the management envelope will be
left for green space. Golden Valley does not have a shoreland
ordinance. Upon the engineer's recommendation, it was moved by
Mr. Silberman and seconded by Mr. Hoshaw that since compensat-
ing storage has been provided and the plan is consistent with
flood plain, the plan should be approved providing that acces-
sibility be provided for maintenance of the control structure
and skimming device for the pond and that the final design be
approved by the engineering staff. Carried unanimously.
2. Development of a hotel and retreat center at the Northwest
Business campus in Plymouth. This is a 22 acre site to be
developed by Scanticon. The compensating volume is
approximately twice that which is being filled. Discharge in
this reach of the creek has been reduced by construction of a
control structure at Fernbrooke. Concern was expressed about
scour in the channel area. Mr. Kremer recommends that the area
of the channel carrying normal flows that will be relocated as
part of the plan be riprapped and that some form of erosion
control be used around the catch basin at the time of construc-
tion. Water quality is being taken care of by a large ponding
area. After discussion, Mr. Asmus moved approval with the
stipulation that the relocated channel be riprapped and that
the final plan has to be approved by the Commission engineering
staff and that the recommendations for the silt fence around
the catch basin, riprapping and erosion control be carried out.
Seconded by Mr. Rye and carried unanimously.

1. Brochure. Two of the previous brochures were distributed. Mr.
Asmus asked if we had enough information to use the newspaper

vote, it was apparent the newspaper style was favored. A draft
of the text is being distributed to the Commissioners for re-
view as soon as possible.
2. Meeting with Minneapolis Park Board. Mr. Hoshaw indicated that
this had been handled.
3. Meeting with Golden Valley. Mr. Kremer said he had tried to
set up a meeting with Golden Valley Golf Club to discuss ease-
ments for a flood control structure and inundation area. How-
ever, the Board is in the process of changing on January 1 and
it was felt the meeting should be deferred until after that
date.

MEMO
January 14, 1986
James G. Willis, City Manager
Richard J. Carlquist, Public Safety Director
Public Safety Annual Report
L l�c
The Annual Report complete with graphics will again be published in a future
issue of Plymouth on Parade. This memo is to provide you with a thumbnail
sketch of that future report. Attached to this memo is statistical reports
from both the Police and Fire Divisions for the month of December as well
as the entire year.
Overall, Police Service Calls increased 4% in 1985. An area that increased
significantly in 1985 is the category of Theft found in the Class I Reports.
The reason for this dramatic increase was due to two primary factors. The
first being an increase in car prowls where the object of the theft was
radar detectors; and, secondly the increase in shoplifting offenses reported
by Holiday Plus. The Class IV Reports showed a sharp increase in Public
Nuisance Complaints this year. I do not know the reason for this 22%
increase; but, can only speculate that our Community Service Officer Program
is very responsive to the publics concerns in this area. The increase in
the number of Citations written this year was due primarily to the ban
against parking between 2 A.M. and 5 A.M. on city streets.
I am extremely pleased with the overall performance of the personnel assigned
to the Police Division this past year. We started a Chaplain Program and
implemented a Youth Service Officer Position in 1985. Officer Dan Twaddle
was recognized as the Officer of the Year and Investigator Niel Nielsen was
recognized by North Memorial by giving him a Public Safety Award for his
past accomplishments. We also concluded three lengthly and time consuming
discipline hearings. Two of those officers that were involved are currently
back on the department. We implemented a change in our policy on the
investigation of worthless checks and contributed to the establishment of
an ordinance on Harassment and State Statutes dealing with child abuse as
well as a law on the keeping of a dangerous animal. Also, three additional
outdoor warning sirens were approved and the changeover to radio controls
for these individual sirens will be implemented in 1986.
The number of Fire Calls to private dwellings and apartments increased in
1985. The estimated loss was approximately $100,000. over 1984 figures.
The most significant change was in our response to industrial buildings in
1985. We sustained $121,000. worth of damage in 1985 versus the $733,000.
worth of damage recorded in 1984. There were twenty fewer calls to

industrial buildings in 1985. An increasing concern of ours has been the
number of false alarms that are recorded each year. We are working on each
category of buildings that require our response and determining why the
false alarms have increased. Hopefully, we will be able to mitigate these
false alarms in 1986. A certain level of false alarms may have to be
tolerated. In fact, it isn't all bad. Responding to an alarm call provides
practice for our personnel in the form of training.
In 1985 we hired a replacement in the Fire Prevention Division. There
was a re -organization of the Fire Department and the subsequent selection
of new officers. A physical stress testing policy was implemented in 1985.
We are now in a better position to assess the physical performance of our
Firefighters while at the same time meet OSHA standards. I am extremely
proud of the Fire Department. They appear to be entering a new phase of
development. The personnel who originally started the department have
mostly retired now. We have added approximately twenty-five new "faces"
to the department. They appear to be a very enthusiastic group of people.
The transition into a third Fire Station in 1987 should be facilitated by
the additional personnel and the re -organization of the department.

INTRUDUCTIUN - This report is an annual summary of the activities of
the Investigations Division.
In 1985, the Investigations Division was assigned another organization
responsibility; Youth Services. Seven personnel now serve in the
division: one Sergeant; four criminal investigators; one community
relations officer; and, one youth service officer. Community Relations
was added in 1984.
The additions to this Division have displayed a positive impact on the
quality and quantity of service delivery to the citizens of Plymouth.
The volumn of cases cleared, and the manner in which they were inves-
tigated are evidence of the cooperative relationship that exists
within the Division. Our success is also attributed to individual
efforts - that went the extra mile.
CASE ASSIGNMENTS/CLOSURE: Due to the volumi& of crimes committed
and the number of personnel assigned to the investigative function,
not all cases can be pursued. Priorities are established through
the application of solvability factors, examining the severity of
the offense, volum m of current cases, availability of physical and
human resources, and time. Emphasis is then placed on assigning
cases that display the greatest potential for clearance. The infor-
mation gained from those cases is then applied to less productive
cases in an effort to increase the over-all number of criminal
cases that are successfully closed.

SECTION PERSONNEL/TRAINING/HIGHLIGHTS/ACTIVITY: Each investigator is
assigned to a geographic district of the City. He is then assigned
a variety of general case investigations. However, in an effort to
respond more effectively to the unusual crimes that impact dram-
atically on the community, each investigator has a special field
of expertise for which he is trained.
Inv. Way - 6741, East Central Plymouth: Arson, Latent Prints
Hostage Negotiation, Child/ Domestic Abuse and
Assaults.
Inv. Ridgley - 6742, Southwest Plymouth: Sexual/Domestic/Child
Abuse and Assaults, Juvenile, Narcotics, Public
Speaking, Photography.
Inv. Hanvik - 6743, Southeast Plymouth: Economic and, -General
Property Crimes, Narcotics, Public Speaking.
Inv. Nielsen - 6744, Northern Plymouth: Crime Trend Analysis,
Criminal Intelligence, and Property Crimes.
In 1985, the investigators have been recognized administratively,
and publicly for their efforts in major case investigations, as
well as for their other professional contributions. Such as: (1)
actions in the Davis residential robbery where a family was terror-
ized at gun and knife point; (2) the Vinnie kidnapping involving
the abduction of a child to Oklahoma; (3) closure of the Willow Wood
and Southwest Plymouth multiple property crime cases; (4) the extra
miles and long hours that conclued the Rogholt death investigation;
(5) writing and lobbying efforts resulted in the creation of new
state statutes, and a City ordinance, as well as holding the line on
Child Abuse and Juvenile Code changes. The investigators have also
held a variety of leadership offices in County and State professional
organizations.
The following page displays the case activity between 1984 and 1985.
Property crimes are often more difficult than crimes against persons.
Personnel working more cases in the later crime group tend to have
higher clearance rates. Therefore, it is inappropriate to make com-
parisons between individual investigators. However, as benchmarks will
be sought, it is more appropraite to view each individuals progress
from last year to this. Collectively, the objective is to increase the
over-all numbers of successful case closures, each succeeding year.

SECTION/TRAINING/HIGHLIGHTS/ACTIVITY: Robert Nesbitt is the Community
Relations Officer assigned to this section. One focus of his position
has been to track, analyze, and advise appropriate personnel of general
crime trends within the City. Efforts were made to provide special
training in this area in 1985. The immediate results were the contribu-
tions he made to the arrest of eight youths and the clearance of several
felony property crimes in Southwest and Central Plymouth in August. Also,
through individual initiative, he cleared three additional burglaries,
and assisted in the successful investigation of a metro area check theft
ring. Another objective of Officer Nesbitt's position is to organize
neighborhood crime prevention groups, as well as coordinate the scores
of community relations presentations put on by himself and others in the
department. He's done a commendable job in this regard, and the results
of his endeavors are included in this report.
Finally, one of Bob's most notable accomplishments related to the death
investigation of another policemen. On his own initiative, he originated
and coordinated the fininacial fund that was responsible for developing
significant information that lead to the arrest and conviction of last
winters murder of Officer Scanlon, Robbinsdale Police Department.

SECTION/TRAINING/HIGHLIGHTS/ACTIVITY: In 1985, Mary Uhlig was assigned
as the Youth Service Officer for the Department. Her objective was to
participate in the development of a job description and performance
evaluation, as well as, the development of activity reporting records
for this new position. Simultaniously, she was involved in a training
program with Crystal, Minnetonka and Bloomington Police Departments.
On her own initiative, she also completed a nine week police skills
course, finishing high in her class.
The most important function of this position is to develop a liason
between the police, schools and youth who come in contact with the
police. The objective of this function is to deliver a greater quality
of service concerning youth case dispositions. Rather than referring
each case to court, avenues of diversion were developed by Mary that
address delinquency matters in a more constructive fashion.
Using prescribed standards, her work in diversion has been the most
commendable aspect of her service over the past year. The results
of her efforts can be seen in the following activity report.

Subject: Vicksburg Lane
Special Assessments
Dear Mr. Schroeder:
You have contacted Councilmember Maria Vasiliou regarding the special
assessments on your property at 5230 Vicksburg Lane. These special assessments
were made in 1980 after Vicksburg Lane was improved from a gravel road to a
paved bituminous street. You purchased your property in 1981.
The total special assessment levied against your property in 1980 was $14,105.
This assessment was payable over a ten year period at an interest rate of 8%.
With regard to homestead land which had a width greater than 600 feet, the City
Council deferred a portion of the assessment. Since your land was 650 feet in
width it qualified for the deferrment. The deferrment stated as follows:
...the assessment that applies to the street frontage that exceeds
300 feet in the manner as stated above shall be deferred for a period
not to exceed five (5) years, provided however, that if the property
is sold, not used by the owner for his homestead, further subdivided
during that five year period, the deferred assessment shall become
payable in full.
In accordance with this deferrment, $7,595 of your original assessment was
deferred, but it does accumulate interest at the 8% rate. You began paying on
the undeferred portion of the assessment, $6,510, in 1981.
In October, 1985 you received a letter from the City's Finance Director, Lloyd
Ricker, informing you that the five year period for the deferred assessment had
expired and the assessment was now payable. By the terms of the deferral of
the assessment it was payable at one time.
On November 18, 1985 the City Council considered your deferred assessment along
with other deferred assessments expiring at the same time. It was the
determination of the City Council that the assessments would not be required to
be paid at one time, but to be re -spread over the remainder of the years of the
original assessment roll and continuing at the same interest rate. Since the
original assessment roll was for ten years and the deferrment was for five
years, your deferred assessment has been re -spread over a five year period.

Mr. L. M. Schroeder
January 10, 1986
Page Two
The five year period for the deferred assessment begins in 1986. The amount of
the assessment, which includes the interest which has accumulated during the
five year deferred period, is $10,633. The first payment on the assessment is
payable with the 1986 taxes.
If you have any questions with regard to the original assessment or the
deferred assessment, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Dear Mr. Davenport:
Z=Sb
Room 100 Capitol Square Building
550 Cedar Street St. Paul, MN 55101
Governor Perpich has asked me to respond to your recent letter
concerning special levy authorizations for infrastructure
replacement reserves. As you know, the present levy limit law
provides exemptions for a variety of special levies. Minnesota
Statutes Chapter 471.57 authorizes levies for public works
reserve funds. As I understand your proposal, that section
would be amended to exempt such levies from levy limit laws.
I think the real issue here is the appropriateness of levy
limits. Because local governments have many special spending
needs, it has been necessary to provide for numerous exempt
"special levies" for a variety of purposes. The time may be
coming when the reasonable thing to do is to eliminate levy
limits rather than enact additional special levy exceptions.
We will give your proposal serious consideration as it moves
through the legislative process.
Thanks again for taking the time to share your proposal. Also,
I want to commend you for your recently concluded 11 years of
public service in Plymouth. Best wishes in your future
endeavors.

Dear Mr. Kawamura:
I am no longer the Mayor of Plymouth and have forwarded your
letter of January 8th to Virgil Schneider, Plymouth's new Mayor,
with a copy to Jim Willis, our City Manager.
I do not disagree at all with your comment that "the real issue
here is the appropriateness of levy limits". I have been an
advocate of removing levy limits for many years. In setting
forth the infrastructure replacement and reserve proposal,
however, I presumed that it was not politically realistic to
expect that levy limits would be removed and that is why the
City approached the proposal through an exemption and the
creation of a special levy.
I think it would be fair to say
if the levy limits were removed
has been the City's position.
that Plymouth would be delighted
or at least historically that
In any event, I am delighted that the proposal will be given
serious consideration. Please direct any future correspondence
you may hie insregard to„this to Mayor Schneider and Jim Willis.

1�,c___,
The House of Representatives passed by a voice vote the Ways and Means Commit-
tee's Tax Reform Act of 1985 on December 17, 1985. Because of your ongoing
interest --and input --in this legislation, I thought you might like a summary of the
major changes made by the bill.
Your primary concern was with the deductibility of state and local taxes and tax-
exempt bonds. As you know, the full deductibility of state and local taxes was
retained. However, major changes were made in the area of tax-exempt municipal
bonds.
The House agreed to define bonds as nongovernmental if an amount in excess of the
lesser of 10 percent or $10 million were used in a trade or business of any person
other than a governmental unit; or 5 percent or $5 million were used to make loans
to a person other than a governmental unit.
The following nongovernmental activities currently eligible to be financed with tax-
exempt bonds under present law would no longer be eligible: sports facilities, con-
vention or trade show facilities, parking facilities (except airport public parking),
facilities for the local furnishing of gas and electricity by investor owned utilities,
district heating or cooling facilities, air or water pollution control facilities and
industrial parks.
The volume limitation would be subject to an annual limitation to the greater of $200
million or $175 per capita (reduced to $125 per capita beginning in 1988).
Tax increment financing bonds would be grandfathered if issued before January 1,
1986. Those issued after December 31, 1985 would be subject to the tightening
rules contained in the Deficit Reduction Act of 1984.
The House also tightened restrictions on Industrial Development Bonds and the
arbitrage restrictions.
It is clear --as you have made me well aware --that these changes will have drastic
ramifications on local governments.

I am not pleased with the Tax Reform Act of 1985. In my opinion the process
shifted from policy considerations to political backscratching months ago. I
began this process hoping that we could come up with a bill that would truly
encourage fairness, simplicity and growth. Unfortunately, the Ways and Means
Committee abandoned those criteria long ago.
I have valued your input throughout this difficult process, and will look forward
to your continued good counsel. If you have specific questions regarding aspects
of the Tax Reform Bill, please let me know.

In response to questions concerning the effective dates in the House -passed
Tax Reform bill, the only real answer is that there is no certainty.
Last night after passing a bill with effective dates ranging from September
25, 1985 to January 1, 1986, to July 1, 1986, and beyond, the House passed
a Resolution referring to those dates. It directed senior legislative tax
writers to issue a statement on important effective dates so that producers,
consumers, investors, and all economic decision makers would have guidance.
Unfortunately, the Resolution has no real authority. Its force and effect are
important only insofar as people believe in it. It may give you a clue, but
it gives no safe harbor.
Rostenkowski, Dole, et al, will proably make the statement referred to in
the Resolution. It will be their best guess as to final effective dates
should a Tax Reform bill ever be passed. It will be the best information
available, but it won't be guaranteed.
As usual, citizens are advised to consult all legal and tax advisors and
planners before making significant economic decisions, particularly those
with major tax considerations.

on this roadway
You also request in your letter that we modify the signal phasing
which now provides protected left turns from channelized turn lanes,
to a phasing that would allow left turns during the same time that
the mainline has a green light. This would, as you suggest, reduce
delays to those turning vehicles which now must wait through the
signal cycle until their phase comes up rather than finding gaps in
oncoming traffic. However, if has been our experience that inter-
sections using premissive left turns have a higher accident rate -
in fact, we have converted several intersections from permissive
left turns to protected left turns within the past year because of
accident problems. The high speeds on T.H. 55 would likely mean
that those accidents that did occur would be severe.
To reduce some of these conflicts, you further suggest that the turn
lane have a "protected left turn" phase during peak hours and a "per-
missive left turn" phase during off-peak hours. We feel that this
would confuse the motorist and tend to further increase the accident
potential. Because the present phasing is safer, we feel that we must
continue to use protected left turns.
If you have further comments or questions, please call me or Charles
Hudrlik, the district signal engineer, at 593-8543.

Thank you for your letter dated January 8, 1986. In your letter you
encourage the Council to preserve much of the wetlands included in the
proposed Ivy Park development and throughout Plymouth so that wildlife can
continue to survive and be enjoyed, and that the quality of our underground
water will be protected.
I wholeheartedly support your objectives to protect wildlife and natural
habitats in our community. I, and members of the Council, believe that one
of the most attractive aspects of Plymouth is the balancing of the rural
natural surroundings in an urban community of nearly 39,000 persons.
The Council's role with respect to Ivy Park is to review the proposed
development in light of City ordinances and requirements. In doing so, we
must balance the rights of the landowner to develop his property in Plymouth
within ordinance requirements against the rights of residents in the
vicinity of the proposed development to the enjoyment of their property. In
performing this function, I can assure you that the Council is sensitive to
the issues you raise. For your information, we have entered your letter
into the Environmental Impact Statement record as required by law.
I encourage you to attend the February 3 meeting at which this petition is
likely to be discussed by the City Council. To confirm that this item is on
that agenda, I suggest that you call Laurie Houk at 559-2800 on January 30
or 31.
Yours very truly,

Audubon Magazine, May 1983 states:
Until recently, wetlands were commonly regarded as wastelands. It is one
of the triumphs of environmental education that much of the American
public now appreciates wetlands for the valuable assets they pre: essential
habitat for birds and fish and other wildlife, natural flood -control and
water -purification agents, recharge areas for underground water --in short,
natural resour ces that must be preserved.
June 1983 Audubon Action states:
Wetlands filter pollutants, restrain floods, purify sewage and help recharge
aquifers.
It also reports that a Louis Harris poll found that 83% of the people interviewed
favor wetland protection.
Minnesota Volunteer Septesber-October 1972 in an article "Why We Worry About Wetlands"
page 32 states:
To understand how wetlands protect water quality, we must stogy looking at them
as isolated, individual units. We must cast aside the "tunnel vision" that has
made it possible to drain and fill thousands of indivdual marshes in ou* stqte
and nation. We must recognize that each wetland is part of a larger hydrologic
system --and all are sur face expressions of the hydrology, geology, climate and
man's uses of a given area.
Same article reports in part recommendations of a study on the value of wetlands
in protecting water quality by the University of Minnesota Limnological Research
Center:
The report recommends that wetlands in the Minnetonka watershed be preserved
in its natural state. it further recommends that construction of storm sewers
be minimized, and that runoff water be allowed to follow natural drainage
patterns.
Minneapolis Tribune May 28, 1978 editorial - after listing the immense value of wet-
lands states:
Some people find the urge to drain such lands irresistible. But when they do,
the damage is usually irreversible.

Dear Virgil:
January 15, 1986
Thank you for your kind letter of January 13,
1986, which I received today. It was indeed a special
honor for me to have been invited to administer your
oath. I was also pleased to administer the oaths
to Maria and Jerry at the City Council meeting. Thank
you for including me in this very special event.
I arrived home from Chicago to receive your lovely
plant, and was touched by your thoughtfulness. It
looks beautiful in our home and serves as a reminder
of the honor it was for me to participate in your
swearing in ceremony.
My very best wishes to you for a most fulfilling
term in office.
Thank you again.
Warmest regards,
