In rendering assistance to other rescue personnel, your officers fulfilled and went beyond their responsibilities as police officers to save the life of one Mr. Fred Addis. After hanging on to the ice for over one-half hour, Officers Karen Forslund, Joel Franz, Bob Levens and Tom Dahl arrived on the scene and assisted Plymouth firefighters along with North Paramedics in the successful rescue of this 72 year old man. Information we received was that if it hadn't been fcr Karen Forslund and Joel Franz, who pushed an aluminum boat out to the incident area, the final outcome may have been significantly different. We. at North Memorial Medical Center are honored to be able to recognize these Plymouth Officers as playing a significant role in the successful resolution of the Medicine Lake situation. Their actions should be recognized as a credit to the city of Plymouth and the people they serve. Resp tfully, Douglas E. o penrath. Public Safety Liaison -- --- - CC,. G.P..

As is their responsibility they responded, surveyed the situation and reacted appropriately. We expect this of our Emergency Response personnel and indeed take it for granted. As stated they did their job, but indeed went above and beyond the call of duty in attempts to rescue a 72 year old male from drowning. After being in the water for over � hour Mr. Fred Addis was rescued by Plymouth Firefighters with the assistance of the Plymouth Police and Paramedics from North Memorial. Listed below are those firefighters that responded to this call. Capt. Chuck Veflin Cary Smith William Herbert Don Welch Chuck Scharlav Dwan Elliott Brad Johnson Mel Scofield I wish to call your special attention to three of these individuals who in this process did physically reach Mr. Addis and hung on to him as the ice they were on gave way plunging them into the frigid water as well In their determination, dedication to duty and at personal risk to themselves, held their human life line intact. This action gave assisting rescuers a solid line of recovery to the victim as well as all firefighters involved. Recognition for all of your responding fire personnel is appropriate, but special attention must be given to William Herbert, Cary Smith, and Capt. Chuck Veflin for their actions which were indeed critical in saving the life of Mr. Addis.

I would like special recognition to go the following: the North Memorial personnel, and especially to Fire Captain Chuck Veflin, Firefighters Cary Smith and Bill Hebert, and Police Officers Karen Forslund and Joel Franz, all of whom took a swim to accomplish the rescue. Recognition should also go to their back-up crew: Fire Lieutenants Chuck Scharlau, Dwan Elliott, Stan Scofield, and Firefighter Don Welch. A job well done!! BJ: Iv There is no doubt in my mind that teamwork saved us all. In particular, 1 would like to say that Bill most definitely saved the victim's life. He was very cool headed and heroic. Carey helped save me, Bill and the victim by hanging on and not panicking. Tim was instrumental in saving Chuck and the victim. Officer Franz, after going through twice, still pushed forward, attempting to reach us and assist. A lesser person would have decided to quit. My purpose of this memo is to apprise you of the situation, and let you know what a fantastic job these rescuers did. To say they are heroes just doesn't seem enough. They remained calm and performed so extremely well, even in the face of danger. I can't express adequately how proud I am of these people, and in particular Bill and Carey. They deserve recognition of the highest order for their rescue participation today.

Upon my arrival I was able to appropriate a boat from a lake resident. Tim Shaeffer with North Memorial Ambulance service and I started out to the victims with it. I had called for assistance from the fire department. Chuck Veflin, Carey Smith and Bill Hebert met us out on the ice.with a ladder. Bill was put at the head of the ladder. Carey, Chuck and mysQlf were at the base, feeding the ladder. Bill was able to reach the victim and to hang onto him. As we started to pull, the ice kept breaking and we were not able to pull the victim out. Still, Bill hung on. 14e ,,ere haying a nraat diffiriilty getting traction to pull the ladder. Officer Franz responding to my request started out to help and fell through the ice. Luckily, he was able to save himself and get out and continue toward us. We continued to pull the ladder. Chuck was to my right and went through the ice. A mili-second later, I did too. Carey hung onto the ladder but the loss of weight tipped the head of the ladder, submerging Bill and the victim. I saw pure panic on Bill's face as he surfaced and still he hung onto the victim. Carey remained calm and tried to settle the ladder as I was clinging to him. He advised me to crawl over him, even though we both knew the extra weight on him might plunge him in as well. This feat was accomplished without incident. Tim Shaeffer, inside the boat, helped Chuck and grabbed Bill as well. Officer Franz in his effort to further assist once more went through the ice. He again was able to save himself. At that point the ladder was of little use and Bill grabbed the boat, still hanging onto the victim. At that point, his grip was lost and the victim went under the water for several seconds and for what seemed like an eternity, Bill and the victim were submerged. Bill came up and finally the victim did also. Tim and Bill grabbed him and got him into the boat. Carey and I then were able to get Bill out of the lake with the ladder.

In narticular, I an, recommending that Bill Hebert and Cary Smith receive the Medal of Valor for their great display of unselfishness, personal courage, and devotion to duty. I am recommending that the following personnel receive the Department Commendation Award for their extraordinary achievement: Officer Karen Forslund, Officer Joel Franz, and Fire Captain Chuck Veflin. Although not a member of this department, I an recommending that para -medic Tim Schaefer from North Memorial hospital also receive a Department Commendation Award. I am also recommending that the following personnel receive a Letter of Recognition Award for the exemnlary manner in which they assisted in the rescue: Fire Lieutenant Chuck Scharlau, Fire Lieutenant Dwan Elliott, Fire Lieutenant Stan Scofield and Firefighter Jon Ilelch. It is my intention to hand out these awards at the next General Membership meeting of the fire department, Anril 9. 1986. To all of those who are receiving awards and even those who are not, I firmly believe that the character of those public safety personnel who are receiving and being distinguished by the various levels of award, is more a product of chance than anything else. In short, I believe that all of them would have reacted in an outstanding and heroic manner if they had been in the right place at the right time. RJC:1v cc: Lyle Robinson, Fire Chief James G.

This report was written for the CcmTnunity Services Management Team for their consideration in budget and program planning. The West Hennepin Human Services Planning Board's effort to survey community opinion and get input from area services, as documented in this report, is a first step in influencing the budget process.Our goal is to insure that our citizens receive a fair share of the county tax dollar and that that share be based on actual need. The West Hennepin Human Services Planning Board, on which we represent Plymouth stresses the frustrations our citizens face in gaining access to affordable services, with the problem being exacerbated by a lack of transportation. Our service inventories show that the area has a core of basic services that could function better with coordination, maintenance of funding and some minimal, additional funding. For example, our existing mental health professionals could form a network to provide crisis services to residents. We intend to pursue service coordination as an agency and board priority. In brief, our information -gathering indicates strong community support for family violence programs (child abuse and domestic abuse), a need for early in- tervention in cases of chemical abuse and dependency, a need for in-home ser- vices for the elderly and handicapped and a growing need for programs to address parent-child conflicts. In addition, the numbers of low income people who rely on emergency assistance (food, shelter, clothing) have remained constant and have not subsided with the economic recovery. Public opinion supports the high priority for emergency services. We realize that funding for human services will not increase in proportion to the need. We advocate the use of sliding fee, better coordination and con-peti- tive bidding to stretch available funding for quality services. CITY OF PLYMOUTH 3400 PLYMOUTH BLVD., PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55441 TELEPHONE (612) 559-2800 DATE: March 25, 1986 MEMO TO: Director Carlquist FROM: D. Paulson SUBJECT: Warrants The Patrol Division recently completed a project in which contact was made with all of those individuals, in Plymouth, with outstanding warrants. This project was completed during those times in which the demand for service permitted this commitment. It was handled in a professional and reasonable manner. It was a success due to the voluntary participation of the numerous officers involved. This project was coordinated by FS Ron Foreman. During the project a total of 47255.00 was collected through this office in bail and fines. It is conservatively estimated that the actual amount collected is at least twice this amount. This is due to those individuals who chose to resolve their obligations directly at court, subsequent to being contacted. The effort of the officers involved to insure the credability of the system is notable. It reflects on their enthusiasm and willingness to put forth the extra effort. March 26, 1986 Mr. and Mrs. Lyman 1514 Black Oaks Place Plymouth, MN 55447 Dear Mr. & Mrs. Lyman: k CITY OF PLYMOUTH+ Thank you for your letter of March 12, 1986 regarding the City's utility billing process. Several years ago during the period of rapid inflation, the majority of our citizens expressed the desire for a monthly billing similar to other utilities. Our billing program enables our citizens to maintain better control of their monthly budgets. We have billed on a monthly basis since July 1978. As the water meter is read on a quarterly basis, the two monthly bills between each reading are estimated using the households water usage from the same period of the previous year. The magnitude of our billing dictates that we read the meters on a cycle basis. If we were to read and collect the proceeds on a quarterly basis it would create a serious work flow problem and probably would require the hiring of additional people during the quarterly peak. At the present time the City doesn't offer a discount for payment made in advance of the services rendered. However, you may choose to prepay on a quarterly basis to reduce the frequency in which you need to pay and return your billing.

With the addition of #4 stating that the support post shall be set to one end so as to not obstruct the other advertising sign. Commissioner Musatto stated that he could not support the variance request, and he does not understand the rationale or the appeal that has been discussed. Chairman Marofsky stated that the Minutes and the staff report reflect the rationale for the Board's decision on this item. Commissioner Plufka stated that he was the maker of the Motion and that he was comfortable that the Resolution states precisely the reasons for the circumstances of this unique request. Commissioner Quass inquired what assurance there is that the sign will be removed in five years. Commissioner Plufka responded that the five year period is addressed within the Zoning Ordinance. ROLL CALL 'VOTE. 4-1-1. Commissioner Musatto voted nay, VOTE - MOTION CARRIED Commissioner Cornelius abstained. MOTION carried. The Board put together a list of study items that they would like to disucss at the upcoming meetings as time might permit. The following is a list of those items discussed. 1. Hold a seminar for builders informing them of variance requests that the Board reviews frequently, so that these may be resolved up -front. 2. Put together step by step instructions on how a compromise is established with an applicant. 3. Steps for redesigning the application, request a deferal or denial of the application. 4.

Page three Board of Zoning Minutes February 11, 1986 -r�--'a b MOTION was made by Commissioner Plufka, seconded by MOTION TO APPROVE Commissioner Bigelow to approve the variance from the front yard setback for property located at 18605 Medina Road for Leonard Busch allowing for a 15 foot encroachment, leaving an 85 foot setback subject to the conditions as state in the draft resolution. VOTE. 5 Ayes. MOTION carrier. Chairman Marofsky returned to the meeting and introduced the request submitted by Farvue Company for a variance from the minimum distance between advertising signs and the maximum height requirements for advertising signs for property located at 5461 County Road No. 18 as described in the February 7, 1986 staff report. Mr. Robert DeMay attorney for Farvue Company, Mr. Arthur Dean, employee, and Mr. Clyde Meulner, owner of the property were present representing this application. Mr. DeMay reviewed the history of the situation stating that at one time there were two advertising signs in this area. He explained' that after much discussion with the City attroney and City staff, it was determined that Farvue could appeal the staff decision in order to place another sign. During this process Farvue determined that they would seek a variance for a higher sign, due to the close proximity of the signs. Chairman Marofsky reviewed the issue and clarified the difference between the variance and the appeal of which the petitioner was addressing. Mr. DeMay stated that if the Board approved the variance request, the appeal to staff's decision was a moot issue. Commissioner Quass inquired of staff if they had the same understanding of the issue as was explained by Mr. DeMay. Building Official Ryan responded affirmitively. The Board was concerned with the precedent set by allowing a 51 foot high sign. Concern was expressed that the other sign company could file a variance request to increase the height of their sign. Staff responded that there is no assurance to prevent such a request. Mr. DeMay explained to the Board members that this was a unique situation to this area and that at one time there were two non -conforming signs located too close. This situation does not exist at any other location in the City. The Board discussed the issue with Mr. DeMay as to why there is a need for two variances, and not just the distance variance. Mr. DeMay stated that since the signs were located so close to each other that one side of the sign would be eliminated from view. VOTE - MOTION CARRIED FARVUE SIGN COMPANY 5461 CO RD NO 18 VARIANCE FROM MINIMUM DIST.BETNEEN SIGNS AND SIGN HEIGHT -= = -,A b Page two Board of Zoning Minutes February 11, 1986 Alternatives discussed were moving the southern most building to the west and north, thus eliminating the variance request; eliminating the southern portion of the one building up to the air intake point; thereby eliminating that variance. Mr. Busch responded that these alternatives would expose the air intake and exhaust system to dust from Medina Road and would decrease his labor efficiency. The total system works as a unit and not independently of each other. He stated this area would remain in a rural status for 25 years or so and at that time they would be looking at moving their business further out. The Board discussed with Mr. Busch the possibility of reducing the dimensions between the established buildings to generate a lesser variance along Medina Road than the proposed 30 foot variance. Mr. Busch stated he could reduce the distance over the entire building length, approximately 15 feet thus creating only a 15 foot variance rather than the proposed 30 foot variance. The Board discussed with Mr. Busch the fact that it seemed that he was creating the need for the variance and not the Ordinance due to the placing of the structures and looking into the future without respect to the Ordinance requirements for setbacks. Mr. Busch stated agreeed with the Board's statements and stated that in 20 years there were no guarantees where his company would be located. The Board discussed with Mr. Busch the thought of future plans and the concern for the need of a master plan showing future buildings on his site. The Board inquired of staff the possibilty for the need of a future right-of-way for Medina Road. Associate Planner, Al Cottingham responded that there is currently 66 feet; there could be the need for 80 feet of total right-of-way. The summary of the issue for this property is the additional right-of-way that is probably needed, the reduced setback for the proposed structure, and a master plan showing the ultimate development of this property. Mr. Busch acknowledged that currently this property is an agricultural property and that a some point it will be time to move on. This will be due to the fact that trunk sewers and development "will force him out". He went on to state that he would like to amend his variance request to a 15 foot encroachment rather than the proposed 30 foot encroachment, in hopes that the Board could support granting him an 85 foot setback rather than the Ordinance required 100 feet.

VOTE. 6 Ayes. MOTION carried. NEW BUSINESS: Chairman Marofsky introduced the Board Members and reviewed the variance criteria as contained in the Zoning Ordinance. Chairman Marofsky stepped down from the first item of business and turned the gavel over to Vice Chairman Ken Quass. The request submitted by Leonard Busch was introduced for a variance from the minimum front yufd 5t, -L- ck f or property located at 18605 Medina Road as described in the February 7, 1986 staff report. Mr. Busch reviewed his request and stated that this request differs from his two previous approved variances. They were both based on the right-of-way needs for State Highway No. 101; this request is due to the angle of the front property line. Mr. Busch began to explain his business stating that few people understand his business needs and layouts. The lay -out for this system is very efficient in the manner proposed. He stated he does have of a long range plan for his operation but it is not drawn on paper since his business operations change from year to year. The Board continued discussion regarding the original building and that its placement has caused this situation; also discussed was the concern of setting a precedent for greenhouses along Medina Road. They stated that a reduction In each of the buildings would enable them to work with Mr. Busch to achieve a solution with a lesser variance. —.--L\ b MOTION TO APPROVE MINUTES OF JANUARY 14, 1986.

NOTION TO APPROVE Vote. 4 Ayes. MOTION carried. VOTE - NOTION CARRIED Page 52 Planning Commission Minutes March 26, 1986 Chairman Steigerwald opened the Public Hearing. Kent Coulson, representing Burger King, stated his concern regarding the parking, noting that if the number of clients for the gym out number the parking spaces provided, these people might use the restaurant parking. They are concerned that the number of vehicles may be over the number of park- ing spaces provided. Chairman Steigerwald inquired what Mr. Yunger would propose if this would be the case; Mr. Yungner stated he would talk to the owners of the warehouse _to the rear of his property. He noted that their busiest hours would be from 5:00 to 9:00 P.M., and that they could help out the restaurant during their busy noon hour, as the gym would not have that many clients at noon. Mr. Coulson stated that the restaurant would also be busy during the supper hour. He stated his concern is that the people using the gym would have just one person per vehicle. Mr. Yungner stated the facility would not accommodate that many people at one time. He stated it is not likely that his customers would be coming one person per car, because they train in pairs. The average is three people for each two cars. He is confident their facility will relieve the problems on the cul-de-sac because they will have extra parking spaces. He stated the restaurants bring in many more vehicles to the area. Brian Bangs, 2735 Queensland Lane, stated he was an owner of the "Green Hill" restaurants, and is amazed that Burger King is concerned about having this facility nearby because of the increased business for them. Mr. Bangs stated he is well acquainted with dim Yunger, who started a small business and has developed it into an excellent training facility. He stated that regarding traffic problems, he has witnessed the semi -trailer trucks parked in the cul-de-sac; and, re- ceived a parking ticket on his truck when he was unable to access the restaurant parking lot. He is pro Plymouth and would like to have a "Green Mill" restaurant here; and, he is excited about having "The Gym" in Plymouth. He reiter- ated that this facility would serve a limited clientele, and that generally there are only 25 to 30 people training at one time. He stated the facility will be a benefit to Plymouth. Chairman Steigerwald closed the Public Hearing. Chairman Steigerwald inquired about Mr. Yungner's anticipa- tion to sell the building in ten years, and whether he could see a use other an office building, such as a "Nautilus" Page 51 Planning Commission Minutes March 26, 1986 MOTION by Commissioner Plufka, seconded by Commissioner MOTION TO APPROVE Magnus to recommend approval for the Residential Planned Unit Development Final Plan/Plat, Site Plan, and Conditional Use Permit for Stuart Corporation, subject to the conditions listed in the March 17, 1986 staff report. Roll Call Vote. 4 Ayes. MOTION carried. VOTE - MOTION CARRIED Chairman Steigerwald introduced the Revised Site Plan, Conditional Use Permit and Variance for dames Yungner. An overview of the March 17, 1986 staff report was provided by Coordinator McConn. Commissioner Magnus inquired if the use were for an office building, would the parking as proposed be adequate. Co- ordinator McConn confirmed the parking would exceed the requirements for office use. Chairman Steigerwald introduced Mr. dames Yungner. Mr. Yungner explained that this facility is not what the average person thinks of as a "Nautilus" or sports and health club; this is a training center for free -weight lifting. He stated because the facility is specialized there would not be the same number of people attending and the parking is adequate for their needs. He explained they have agreed that if and when the building is sold it will be sold as an office building. °fico 'lding. He noted that the type of construction would allow the addition of a second floor for an office. He stated the traffic generated would be using Glacier Lane and should cause no problems for the restaurants, nor will they have the same problems as the restaurants with short- term visits, as their customers will be in attendance for two to three hours. Mr. Yungner stated that the Plymouth Racquet Club if built today would only have 29% of the Ordinance required parking, and, if their facility had been built at the same time the Racquet Club was constructed, they would have 87% of the parking required for their facility. Commissioner Plufka inquired how many lockers would be pro- vided at the facility. Mr. Yunger stated they have added a waiting room area, and they will provide 15 women's and 65 to 70 men's lockers. Commissioner Plufka felt this would be a good indication of the number of people who will use the facility. Chairman Steigerwald inquired about the setback on the northside of the building, the most easterly parking space closest to 28th Place. Coordinator McConn stated it was 8 ft. to the right-of-way. DAMES YUNGNER REVISED SITE PLAN CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AND VARIANCE FOR "WARRIOR ONE - THE GYM' (86020) ^_ - L-\ C`, Page 50 Planning Commission Minutes March 26, 1986 He explained he had gone to the City's Assessing Department to request lower valuation of his property due to the Creek - side of Plymouth development. He inquired if the proposed buildings will have rental units or if they will be owner - occupied. Mr. Freels' also asked the City's help in main- taining the high grass and weeds that grow around the "green box" on the southeast corner of the intersection. Mr. Sovell stated the buildings are rental units; they are be quality buildings, similar to their development in the Highland area of St. Paul. The buildings will be brick exterior, redwood features, and textured roofline. Coordinator McConn assured Mr. Freels that the City's main- tenance department would be asked to cut the weeds and main- tain the intersection around the "green box". Mr. Freels stated his concern regarding the totality of traffic in this area which could be using the intersection. He was also concerned that the parking lot for the proposed buildings will face his property. Coordinator McConn explained that with further development, the roadways will continue to the east, offering better traffic circulation. Commissioner Plufka inquired whether there would be a road intersecting County Road 9 between these two properties. Assistant City Engineer Sweeney stated therc may be an intersection to align with Juneau Lane or Minnesota Lane. Mr. Freels inquired if Senior Citizen housing is still pro- posed for this area. Coordinator McConn stated this was the case and the City owns property for this use. However, there is no active proposal for development of senior hous- ing at this time. Chairman Steigerwald closed the Public Hearing. Commissioner Plufka inquired if the width of 37th Avenue will be adequate to handle the potential traffic that land uses in this area will generate. Assistant City Engineer Sweeney stated the roadway design is adequate. Commissioner Plufka noted the changes that were made to the plan and the petitioner's comments that this plan is superior to the previous plan; he inquired what this plan accomplishes with this layout. Mr. Sovell stated the changes were made because of the objection to the parking lot area; and, the recreation building was moved to provide a better layout. Commissioner Plufka noted the revised plans minimize the impact of the parking on the creek and neighboring property.

(I -5b) C. 40th Avenue North -- As the Council may be aware, Begin Construction has een working on the east end of 40th Avenue North (east of Fernbrook Lane). Their construction has caused considerable damage to the street. On April 1, Sherm Goldberg met with Greg Begin to discuss the street damage. Mr. Begin was told to remove the broken up blacktop and replace it with class 5 for a temporary solution. In addition, they were advised to haul from the east end and not on the street. Residents calling city offices on this problem, have been advised that the contractor is responsible for the street repairs and that they will not be charged with these costs. 6.

Attached is a memorandum from Sergeant Dennis Paulson providing a report on the project. A total of $7,255 was collected through the Public Safety office. However, Sgt.

Gas Meters at Shenandoah Development -- Councilmember Zitur contacted me in March regarding the possibility of the City requiring the relocation of gas meters currently in place at the Shenandoah development due to their proximity to the garages. I have been advised by Stan Scofield, Fire Inspector, that an order was written to the Shenandoah Homeowner's Association on July 12, 1985 to install protective barriers by all gas meters that are in drive aisles and are exposed to vehicular damage. The order did not direct the gas meters to be moved to another location. The order was issued as a result of an accident at the townhouse site which involved a truck backing into an exposed gas meter and breaking the gas line. Quick action by the police on the scene turning off the gas supply prevented a potentially serious incident from occurring. r a/ CITU OF PLYMOUTFF CITY COUNCIL INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM April 4, 1986 UPCOMING MEETINGS AND EVENTS..... 1.
