PLYMOUTH METROLINK - APRIL REPORT -- Shown below is a table displaying our average daily ridership for the commuter/ reverse commuter, internal circulator and total system for each week of April. The second table displays the year to date averages in each service area compared with the target which we must achieve in order to have a successful project.

The commuter/reverse commuter portion of the service averaged 354 persons per day in April, which is above the 295 average posted in April 1985. 3. In terms of our system -wide ridership target of 393 passengers per day, we are exceeding our goal by three at 396 passengers per day. 3. RADISSON INN PLYMOUTH - We heard earlier this week a rumor that the Radisson Inn Plymout may be in the process of being sold to other interests. I have not been able to confirm the fact that a sale has been transacted, but have been told of a sale is likely to take place shortly. At the time of the sale, the property would no longer be known as the Radisson Inn. It is my understanding that the Radisson Inn concept does not fit in with the overall plan of the Radisson hotel group. The Plymouth Radisson Inn is the only one of its kind, and apparently the company does not desire to be in that part of the hospitality business.

CITY COUNCIL INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM Nay 16, 1986 Page four 4. PERSONS SOUGHT FOR 1986 NOMINATIONS FOR LEAGUE OF MINNESOTA CITIES BOARD OF DIRECTORS -- Attached Is an April 29, 1986 memoran um rom the League of nnesota Cities requesting the names of elected or appointed officials who would be interested in serving on the League of Minnesota Cities Board of Directors. Directors serve a two year term. There are currently five openings. In making appointments, the League attempts to develop a geographic population size representation in the overall Board, a balance between the Twin City area and outside, and a balance between elected and appointed officials. Attached along with the League memorandum are guidelines for the nomination process, together with a list of current League Directors and Officers. Councilmembers who may be interested in serving on the Board of Directors should recognize that there is a substantial time commitment. Annually, there are 14 meetings of the Board, which are normally four hours long at minimum, and sometimes, a full day. In addition, there is one 2-1/2 day outstate meeting which normally takes place on a Thursday, Friday, Saturday. Sometimes, Board members are requested to serve on subcommittees which would require an additional three to four meetings. In addition, Directors are expected to be in attendance at the annual League conference. League bylaws indicates that Directors missing three meetings in a row or any four meetings annually, are relieved of Board responsibilities. Councilmembers who may be interested in serving as a Board of Director should contact Laurie to obtain an application and additional materials about serving on the League Board. (I-4) 5. VOLUNTEERS TO SERVE ON LEAGUE LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEES -- Attached is a memorandum dated May 7 from Donald Slater requesting volunteers to serve on the 1987 League legislative committees. The legislative committees identify issues, study and recommend solutions to be supported as policies of the League before the legislature. Participation on the committees provides local officials with the opportunity to learn and help shape legislative policy together with peers from other cities. This year, for the first time, the full membership of the League will approve legislative policies at a November 1986 special meeting. This change will require that the committees meet from the third week of duly through the last week of September. Interested City Council members should fill out the form on the reverse side of the May 7 memorandum expressing their preference 1 through 5 on which legislative committee to serve on. Presently, the City is represented by Blair Tremere on the Land Use, Energy, Environment and Transportation Committee, and by Frank Boyles on the Public Safety and Personnel Committee. Council members should return the completed application to Laurie no later than Friday, May 23. (I-5) 6. CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE FOR NEW COUNTY ROAD 9 -- Attached is a memo- randum from Fred Moore outlining the ounty s construction schedule for new County Road 9. (I-6) CITY COUNCIL INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM May 16, 1986 Page five 7. BUILDING PERMITS AND INSPECTIONS IN NEW SUBDIVISIONS WHERE PUBLIC R5ADS ARE NOT DEVELOPED -- Attached Is a memorandum from B a r remere with regard to Issuance of building permits and inspections in new residential subdivisions where installation of municipal utilities and streets are not completed. (I-7) 8. I-394 CONSTRUCTION AFFECTING PLYMOUTH -- MnDOT has awarded a contract for reconstruction on the existing I-494/Highway 12 inter- change. This work is in conjunction with the upgrading of Highway 12 to I-394. The contractor has started work on the project and we have been informed that the on-ramp from westbound Highway 12 to northbound I-494 will be closed next Tuesday or Wednesday. This on-ramp will remain closed for two to three months. The official detour for this road closure will be on County Road 18 north* to Highway 55 and then west back to I-494. Most local traffic familiar with the road system is expected to use County Road 61 or Carlson Parkway when the ramp is closed. After this ramp work is completed, the contractor will also be closing -the ramp from eastbound Highway 12 to northbound I-494. This work is expected to take place sometime in September. The new interchange with Carlson Parkway should be completed by this time and it is likely that the detour will be established on Carlson Parkway for this ramp closure. 9. COUNTY ROAD 15 DRAINAGE COMPLAINT -- At the May 5th Council meeting, Jim Sentman, who lives at 1=County Road 15, addressed concerns about a drainage problem at his driveway. He stated that he thought this problem occurred in 1980 when the City contr.ucted a bikeway on County Road 15. Sherm Goldberg, City Engineer, is having the consulting engineer, Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik and Associates, research the survey notes for the project when it was constructed. In talking with the project inspector, BRA also thinks they have pictures of the driveway before the bikeway construction. This research will be completed in order that a report can be made to the City Council on June 2, 1986. The report will include the cause and a possible solution for the drainage problem. 10. COUNTY ROAD 15 TURNBACK -- At the May 5 Council meeting the City Council concurre w t t e turnback of County Road 15 to the City of Plymouth. Before this turnback is to occur the County is to bring the surface of the roadway to a standard acceptable to the City. Fred Moore, Director of Public Works, has directed Tom Vetsch, Street Supervisor, to make a survey of the roadway surface and drainage conditions on County Road 15. This report will be used to make a request to the County on necessary maintenance improvements before the City accepts jurisdiction for County Road 15. The report and the recommended maintenance is expected to be available for the June 16 Council meeting. CITY COUNCIL INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM May 16, 1986 Page six 11. NIAGARA LANE STREET PROSECT - REQUEST FOR ARBITRATION -- The City as received a request for arbitration from C.S. Mc rossan, Inc., the contractor on the Niagara Lane improvement project. The contractor is stating there is a construction contract dispute including misrepresentation of conditions in plans and specifi- cations and failure to disclose known utilities. The contractor is seeking $150,000. The arbitration request has been referred to the City Attorney for the necessary action. The City was made aware of this claim in January of 1986 through correspondence between the contractor and our consulting engineer, Strgar-Roscoe-Fausch. The consultant has investigated the claim and made a recommendation to the City that no additional compensation be made. Sherm Goldberg, City Engineer, has met with both the contractor and the consultant, and concurs with the consultant's recommendation. The specifications for the project indicate that arbitration is the method to resolve disputes between the owner and the contractor. 12. COUNTY ROAD 61 SPEED STUDY RESULTS -- The City has received the complete results of the Mn T's speed limit study on County Road 61 from Highway 55 to Highway 12. Part of the work was completed last fall and a 40 m.p.h. speed limit was established on the newly constructed portion of County Road 61 south of 6th Avenue. The speed limits will be as follows: Northbound 35 m.p.h. - from Highway 12 to Fairfield Road 40 m.p.h. - from Fairfield Road to Highway 55 Southbound 40 m.p.h. - from Highway 55 to Windy Hill Road 35 m.p.h. - from Windy Hill Road to Highway 12 The only change in the existing posted speed limits as a result of the new study is that portion between County Road 6 and Highway 55. The speed limit will be increased from the present 35 m.p.h. to 40 m.p.h. Attached is a copy of the letter received from MnDOT. (I-12) 13. COURT OF APPEALS DECISION ON MIDDLEMIST LITIGATION -- The State Court of Appeals has reversed the lower court's action with respect to the suit brought against the City by Robert Middlemist. In all essential points of law, the City's position was affirmed by the Appeals Court. The Middlemist claim was based on the argument that he was denied equal protection under the Constitution by the City's requiring the dedication of County Road 9 right-of-way as a condition of his platting the Middlemist 6th Addition. The court decision clearly indicates that case law demonstrates that municipalities have such a right. The Appeals Court noted that the Trial Court "errored in granting summary judgement to the subdivider CITY COUNCIL May 16, 1986 Page seven INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM on his claim for compensation where there were genuine issues of fact as to whether it was reasonable to require him to dedicate the land." The matter will now be referred back to the lower court for trial on those facts. The City Attorney's office did an excellent job in preparing the brief and arguments for this case before the Appeals Court. A copy of the Court's decision is attached for your information. 14. JOURNEY HOUSE -- Journey House is a home for hearing impaired persons who have been selected to live in a de -institutionalized setting. The home is located at 18135 13th Avenue N. in the Pinecrest Addition. The maximum number of individuals living at the home will not exceed six. They will be both male and female ranging in age from eighteen to forty. The facility will be staffed on a twenty-four hour a day basis including a security person on the premises at night. Some of the staff are also hearing impaired but all security personnel do not have hearing impairment. The house is to be moved in on or about May 19.

Board positions that expire in June of 1986 are: Liz Witt, Council Member, Mendota Heights; Patricia Bonniwell, Clerk -Administrator -Treasurer, Dassel; Kathy O'Brien, Council Member, Minneapolis; Chuck Hazama, Mayor, Rochester. The remaining two year term of Marge Peterson, Council Member, Chisholm will be filled as well. The officers of the League of Minnesota Cities, the president and vice president are elected annually. Vice President James Miller, City Manager, Minnetonka assumed the presidency in January 1986 due to the resignation of Susan Edel, Council Member, Winona. The office of vice president has been vacant since that time. The nominating committee will work with the guidelines for board representation, which were developed as a result of the deliberations of past nominating committees. Those guidelines appear on the reverse side of this letter. Enclosed also is a listing of present board members and officers of the League. The nominating committee has scheduled a meeting for May 20, and it would be helpful to have your input. If you know of a city official who would be considered for nomination, please give his or her name and a brief resume of qualifications to the League staff or us. This communication can be as informal as you wish, a phone call is all that is needed. Our goal is to make sure that any good candidate is considered. Whether or not to let an individual know that you are submitting his or her name is of course up to you. The nominating committee, however, makes it a practice to confirm the fact that an individual is willing to serve before presenting his or her name to the annual conference. On behalf of the nominating committee, I wish to thank you in advance for your help and to assure you that all suggestions will be seriously considered. Sincerely, Litt Council Member, Mendota Heights Chairperson, Nominating Committee LW:glb 1 83 university avenue east, st. paul, minnesota 551 01 (61 23 227-5600 Page 2 C[ITTYPI TTQFC 1. Geographic anc Population Size Representation There has been a conscious effort to see that different parts of the state are represented on the Board, as well as the different sizes of cities that are among the League's constituency. 2. Twin Cities Area/Outstate Balance While there are no specific seats on the Board reserved for Twin Cities area or outstate members, it has been a consistent practice to maintain a rough balance of Board members from these areas. 3. Elected/Appointed Balance Traditionally both elected and appointed municipal officials have participated in all aspects of the League's activities, including membership in the Board of Directors. Although no specific number of seats on the Board are reserved for elected as distinct from appointed officials, it has been a consistent practice to have a majority of the Board composed of elected officials. Furthermore, there has been some effort to provide an opportunity for a variety of appointed officials (e.g., clerks, city managers, attorneys, assessors, etc.) to serve on the Board. 4. Rotation of Membership in view of the fact that the League has more than 770 member cities any individual who serves a full term on the Board is not normally considered for another Board term. However, persons with Board experience are often considered as potential officers. �-y LMC Board of Directors and Officers January, 1986 - June, 1986 President: James F.

Local officials contribute by identifying issues, studying and recommending solutions, voting on legislative policies at the Legislative Policy Adoption Conference, and through personal contact with their legislators. LMC legislative policies have much more credibility because legislators know that they are determined through the involvement of many local officials. Participation provides local officials with opportunities to learn, help shape legislative policy, meet their peers from other cities, develop closer relationships with their legislators and have some fun in the process. The League Board has approved a major change in the League's policy adoption schedule. Legislative policies will be adopted by the fu"l"l membership in November, 1986 at a special meeting. There will still be a legislative conference during the 1987 session, but its focus will be on updating city officials on current issues and hosting a reception for legislators. The League hopes that the earlier adoption of policies will provide for an even more successful legislative effort. Because of the policy adoption date change the committee will meet from the third week in July through the last week in September and all meetings are held at the League office in St. Paul. The League encourages elected and appointed officials from throughout the state to sign up for a committee. The League also seeks applicants from groups who have not participated as significantly as others such as elected officials, small city representatives, women, and minorities. There are seven legislative committees all dealing with different subjects. The committees are: General Legislation and Government Structure covering tort liability and insurance, purchasing authority, open meetings, mandates, licensing of contractors, audits and financial reporting, elections, charitable gambling, and competitive bidding issues. Land Use, Environment, Energy, and Transportation dealing with wastewater treatment, solid and hazardous waste, ground and surface water management, land use --planning and annexation, eminent domain, adverse possession, energy conservation, and transportation issues. -OVER- T 83 university avenue east, st.

Development Strategies covers general development issues including tax increment finance, industrial development bonds, redevelopment, economic development authorities, and housing. Federal Legislation_ deals with national fiscal, development, environment, transportation policies and regulations in conjunction with development of NLC national municipal policy. This July the League president will appoint new legislative committees. The committee appointments are for a two-year period that coincides with the state biennium. (It should be noted not everyone applying for a committee position will definitely be placed on the committee of their first choice., because of the need to achieve representative committees; but all officials will be placed on a League committee.)

Ted Hoffman, the Chief Design Engineer, and Al Herzog, the Project Engineer, have been involved in these meetings. The following is the information I have learned: 1. The County is expecting to complete the plans and specifications for the project in order to receive bids towards the latter part of July, 1986. Construction would be expected to begin during early September, 1986. 2. I have presently reviewed plans which indicate the necessary right-of-way for the project, but as of this time we have not reviewed detailed construction plans for the improvement. 3. The only work the County would expect to undertake during 1986 would be grading and utility construction on the portion of the roadway located within the new alignment. No work would be done in 1986 which would affect the existing traffic on County Road 9. There is a great deal of grading and subgrade correction required in the new alignment which they project could be completed during the winter months. At the present time the County has not acquired all of the necessary right-of-way, but they are negotiating with all property owners. They will begin condemnation proceedings in order that the right-of-way will be available for the September construction schedule. The only exception to this may be the Lillian Berthieum parcel. 4. The Lillian Berthieum parcel involves the acquisition and removal of the existing single family home. Eminent domain proceedings are different when it involves the relocation of a person currently living upon the property. For this reason the County may not have access to the property until 1987. If this occurs, the construction work during 1986 will be all Easterly of this parcel. This parcel lies at the Northeast corner of County Road 9 and West Medicine Lake Drive. Memo File: New County Road 9 May 14, 1986 Page Two 5. The County has obtained the necessary permit from the Department of Natural Resources for the construction of the roadway through the protected wetlands. They will be complying with the conditions specified in that permit and also as indicated within the Environmental Assessment Worksheet for the project. 6. The project will include traffic signals at the following location East and West ramp to I-494 West Medicine Lake Drive/Northwest Boulevard Larch Lane Zachary Lane 7. The County will be undertaking patching and repairing of the existing roadway during the month of May. At the completion and opening to traffic of New County Road 9 the existing roadway will be resurfaced and brought to a standard acceptable to the City. 8. With the exception of the portion of the roadway between I-494 and Northwest Boulevard, the roadway will be constructed without detouring the traffic on County Road 9. At this time they are not sure, but because of the lowering of the roadway between Northwest Boulevard and I-494 it may be necessary to detour traffic while this portion of roadway is being constructed. If traffic is to be detoured, it will be detoured on County Road 61 (Northwest Boulevard) to Highway 55. 9. During construction it will be necessary to close Zachary Lane to ►+d� �� through traffic while the intersection is being reconstructed. 10. Larch Lane may also be closed to through traffic during a short period of time in order to do the necessary construction. 11. The County should be submitting to the City the Preliminary Plans and Specifications and the proposed Cost Sharing Agreement before June 1st. FGM:kh CITY OF PLYMOUTH 3400 PLYMOUTH BLVD., PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447 TELEPHONE (612) 559-2800 MEMO DATE: May 14, 1986 TO: City Manager James G. Willis FROM: Community Development Director Blair Tremere SUBJECT BUILDING PERMITS AND INSPECTIONS IN NEW SUBDIVISIONS WHERE PUBLIC ROADS ARE NOT DEVELOPED This is prompted by a recent situation regarding issuance of sewer and water permits in new residential subdivisions where installation of municipal utilities and streets was not completed and where connections could not be made; and, by comments by the Mayor a couple of weeks ago relative to the use and condition of City vehicles used by inspection personnel. The first concern has been addressed in that sewer and water permits should not have been issued for properties in new subdivisions until the Inspections Division has received written notice from the Public Works Department that the utilities are in and can be connected. Thus, there will not be efforts to connect homes to City mains be- fore they are completed. The situation relates to the Mayor's comments, however. He stated the Inspectors should not be attempting to reach sites where passable public street access .is unavail- able. There is a problem in this regard and it has several aspects: 1. City Council approval of new plats typically includes language to the effect that Building Permits shall not be issued until contracts have been let for sewer and water. The City Code requirement is that no Building Permits shall be issued unless City sewer and water are available to a property. The intent of the Council action however, has been interpreted to allow developers to pro- ceed with house construction while the basic infrastructure of the plat is be- ing developed, i.e., grading, streets, and utilities. 2. Thus, when plats have been filed and Development Contracts have been signed, it is usual procedure for developers to begin selling lots to builders who then come in for building permits, or for the developers themselves to apply for building permits. Our practice has been to review the house plans and to issue the permit per the Council's intent, i.e., contracted utility construction means availability of utilities and streets is imminent. 3. Once the Building Permit is issued and the house is under construction, inspections must be made during the several phases of construction. This re- quires the presence of a Building Inspector on the site and in the house. The inspector must get to the site. We have never expected nor required that inspectors be able to reach the house itself from the street in a vehicle. It is reasonable and necessary that the inspector be able to reach the site of the house via a public street. - -7 Page two Memorandum to City Manager dames G. Willis May 14, 1986 4. There are developments which do not have passable public street access available before, during, and, sometimes even after, construction of the single family homes. This is usually due to the fact that utilities have not yet been fully installed. It also has been due to scheduling of the actual street construction (here meaning the installation of at least the gravel base). The future roadways are often impassable especially when there has been wet weather and especially where the terrain is particularly rough. 5. Builders often get to these sites and houses with heavy duty, high ground clearance, four-wheel drive commercial and personal vehicles, and, in some cases, they access the sites by means of construction equipment such as tractors and graders. 6. Inspectors' attempts to reach the construction sites using the standard normal duty passenger vehicles assigned to them have, in my opinion, resulted in in- ordinate wear and tear on those vehicles. There have been numerous instances especially in the last year where sites were not accessible at all by vehicle; recently, due to the terrain, mud, and the lack of heavy tread tires, the new four-wheel drive Bronco II was unable to reach a site. Inspectors have hiked to sites for distances of several blocks over rough terrain because of the perceived obligation to perform the inspection of the work for which the City has issued a permit. The Mayor's suggestion that the City should not be attempting to perform inspections for houses where access is not possible is well taken . I see a parallel with the Erosion Control Policy where, if there is a problem on a development site, no inspections will be performed until the problem is resolved; in this case, the problem is developing the required public access to the property. The situation is complicated however by the fact that, in certain developments, the City is responsible for constructing the utilities and until the utilities are constructed, the Public Works Department does not permit any final grading or street construction to occur. While this may be reasonable from an engineering standpoint and from a developer's cost standpoint, the City is also issuing permits to allow the construction of dwellings which require inspections, which require good access in the same area. Thus, since all the inspectors are not provided with heavy-duty, high clearance vehicles, similar to those used by the contractors and builders, an alternative would be not to issue Building Permits until the utilities have been installed and the public roads have at least been graded with a passable gravel base. We believe that this is not only contrary to the intent of the City Council, but would also be objectionable to the development community. It is, nevertheless, a possible administrative solution to the problem. It is not efficient, nor is it reasonable to expect professional building inspectors, who operate on a full daily schedule of requested inspections, to hike to construction sites for the lack of passable public roads. z-7 Page three Memorandum to City Manager May 14, 1986 There is another approach that we can take in those cases where, due to the stage of utility and/or street construction, there is not a good access for inspection personnel. Contractors will be informed when they call to request inspections that they are responsible for providing access for the inspector to the development site. This may mean meeting the inspector at the nearest developed public street (including graded road with gravel base) in a vehicle which can be used to transport the inspector to the house site, if passable public streets (at least gravel base) have not been constructed. This is reasonable since the contractor is clearly able to access his property and he needs the inspection in order to proceed with the next phase of construction. It is the contractor who is benefiting from the City's willingness to issue the Building Permits as early as possible, and from the City's efforts to provide inspection services within one working day of the request. This approach, in my opinion, will result in reduced rates of wear and tear on the inspection vehicles which are used throughout the City throughout the year. It will also enhance the quality and quantity of inspection work by our personnel who strive to handle the high volume of requests with available resources. I will monitor the situation closely with Building Official doe Ryan.

Director of Public Works City of Plymouth 3400 Plymouth Boulevard Plymouth, MN 55447 Re: Speed Zoning - CSAH 61 Hennepin County Dear Mr. Moore: As discussed with you previously, an engineering and traffic investigation has been completed to determine reasonable and safe speed limits for CSAH 61 between T.H. 12 and T.H. 55. Part of the speed data from the investi- gation was sent to you last December. The remaining data which was obtained this spring is enclosed for your information. Based on investigation results, we have recommended authorization of the following speed limits for CSAH 61: Nnrthhnnnli JJ mph - from T.H. 12 to Fairfield Road 40 mph - from Fairfield Road to T.H. 55 Southbound 40 mph - from T.H. 55 to Windy Hill Road 35 mph - from Windy Hill Road to T.H. 12 The recommended 40 mph zone provides a more uniform speed limit than exist- ing zones within Plymouth. You will note, however, that the 40 mph speed limit will be lower than what is considered ideal at some locations (such as between Carlson Parkway and CSAH- 6). Therefore, some discretion in en- forcement tolerances may have to be employed if the advantages of a more uniform speed limit are not to be offset by greater conflict within the traffic flow. Work is currently underway on another speed zoning study on CSAH 6 within the city of Plymouth. We will contact you within the next few weeks to discuss the results of that study. Sincerely, S.

Reversed. Heard, considered and decided by Popovich, Chief Judge, Forsberg, Judge, and Leslie, Judge. O P I N I O N FORSBERG, Judge -2 I 3 This is an appeal by the landowners from a judgment entered in an action for mandamus and inverse condemnation. The trial court on a motion for summary judgment ruled that respondent City of Plymouth was required to compensate the landowners, but declined to issue a writ of mandamus compelling the city to commence eminent domain or condemnation proceedings, and did not award appellants attorneys fees. The city has filed a petition for review of the judgment. We reverse the judgment insofar as it orders compensation to be paid by respondent. FACTS Appellant Robert Middlemist applied to respondent City of Plymouth in 1981 for a rezoning of a tract of land on which he proposed to build a multi -family residential subdivision, the "Robert Middlemist Sixth Addition." This addition is bisected by a strip of land which is the planned right-of-way for the relocation of Hennepin County Road 9. The City Planning Commission recommended approval of the preliminary plat, subject to a number of conditions, including the following: S. No private drive access onto existing County Road 9 or proposed County Road 9. 6. The final plat shall reflect the consoli- dation of Outlot A with Outlot B into a single outlot for the future County Road 9 right-of-way. The City Council approved the preliminary plat, subject to the conditions recommended by the Planning Commission. - 2 - Following a staff review of the project, a city development official informed Middlemist that the "Outlot" for the new County Road 9 would have to be dedicated to the city before further action. Middlemist refused to dedicate the outlot, claiming dedication had not been discussed. Processing of the proposal continued. The City Engineer then submitted a memo proposing that, as a prerequisite to approval, "outlot A shall be deeded to the City of Plymouth." The Planning Commission recommended, and the council voted, approval of the project subject to compliance with the City Engineer's memo, including "deeding" of the outlot to the city. Middlemist refused to comply with the dedication requirement and brought this action in December 1983. He sought an injunction or writ of mandamus requiring the city to approve the final plat without the dedication of the outlot, and a writ of mandamus to compel eminent domain or condemnation proceedings for the outlot and future county road right-of-way. The city claimed that the dedication requirement was mandated by a provision of the city code requiring a final subdivision plat to include [A]n appropriate statement dedicating all streets, alleys and other public areas not previously dedicated. The proposed County Road 9, as well as the current roadway is characterized as a "minor arterial road" by the Metropolitan Council Transportation Development Guide. Such a road is - 3 - defined defined in part as one with "restricted direct land access." The city's conditions for plat approval included a requirement that there be no private driveway access onto County Road 9. The city required installation of traffic barriers between the proposed county road and 43rd Avenue, a contiguous street in the subdivision. It also required berming and landscaping on one side of the new roadway for purposes of "buffering and noise abatement." Prior to trial, the parties entered into a stipulation by which Middlemist agreed to convey the outlot to the city by warranty deed in exchange for the city's approval of the final plat. Middlemist reserved his claims to just compensation for the outlot. Those claims were to be determined pursuant to the judgment of the court in this action; at the same time, the city agreed to begin eminent domain or condemnation proceedings if Middlemist was "ultimately successful" in the action- Middlemist brought a motion for summary judgment, arguing that there was no genuine issue of material fact as to the reasonableness of the dedication requirement. The court granted the motion, concluding that the dedication requirement was a denial of equal protection. The court also concluded that [tlhe arterial roadway is not part of Plaintiff's development * * * the county road would be necessary whether this specific plat were developed or not. Although the court ordered the city to pay just compensation to Middlemist for the outlot, it determined that it lacked the - 4 - x:13 power to order the city to condemn the property, in part because the county was a necessary party. It also denied appellants' motion for attorneys fees. ISSUES 1. Did the trial court err in requiring the city to compensate appellants for the county road right-of-way? 2. Did the trial court err in refusing to order the commencement of condemnation proceedings or in denying appellants' request for attorneys fees under Minn. Stat. § 117.045? ANALYSIS 1 Compensation for a dedicated public use A city may require a subdivision developer to dedicate land to public use: The [subdivision] regulations may require that a reasonable portion of any proposed subdivision be dedicated to the public or preserved for public use as streets, roads, sewers,, elec�ric, gas, and water facilities, storm water drainage and holding areas or ponds and similar utilities and improvements. Minn. Stat. § 462.358, subd. 2b (1984). The supreme court has held that a related portion of the predecessor statute was not on its face an unconstitutional taking of property without just compensation. Collis v. City of Bloomington, 310 Minn. 5, 17, 246 N.W.2d 19, 26 (1976) (dedication of park land or payment of fee in lieu of land). The court held that the statutory limitation of dedication to a - 5 - "reasonable portion" of the subdivision prevented an abuse of the police power. Id. The trial court did not determine whether the dedication of the outlot for the county road was a reasonable dedication requirement. The court instead found it to be a denial of equal protection. We disagree. The dedication requirement imposed on Middlemist did not deny him equal protection of the laws by treating him differently than other Plymouth landowners not subdividing their land or other subdividers whose land was not located along the county road right-of-way. Landowners who do not subdivide their land are not subject to any dedication requirements. We believe such a legislative classification between subdividers and other landowners is rationally related to a legitimate government objective. See State by Spannaus v. Hopf, 323 N.W.2d 746, 753 (Minn. 1982). The supreme court in Collis implicitly recognized the greater burden placed on municipal services by subdivision development. Subdivision dedication requirements have survived equal protection challenges even though they do not apply to apartment developments which generate the same population increase. Associated Home Builders v. City of Walnut Creek, 94 Cal. Rptr. 630, 484 P.2d 606 (1971). As to the other asserted class, the statute does not on its face distinguish between subdividers. The statute is obviously applied to subdividers differently depending on the location of their land. Subdividers not located along the County Road 9 M:� right-of-way, however, may be required to dedicate land for other uses, such as holding ponds, utility substations or other streets or roads, which Middlemist is not. If the dedication of the County Road 9 right-of-way is "reasonable" it is no more than is borne by other developers; if unreasonable, it is a "taking," and compensable regardless of equal protection claims. The city contends it is reasonable to require Middlemist to dedicate land for the county road right-of-way because the percentage of land that Middlemist must dedicate is no more than that required of other developers. Middlemist argues that because the specific public use is not necessitated by his development, the dedication requirement is unreasonable. The court in Collis construed the "reasonableness" requirement as follows: A 'reasonable portion' is construed to mean that portion of land which the evidence reasonably establishes the municipality will need to acquire for the purposes stated as a result of approval of the subdivision. This is, of necessity, a facts -and -circumstances test, but it is the only kind of test that will consider the myriad of factors which may bear on a municipality's needs for certain kinds of facilities and the relationship of a particular subdivision to those needs. Collis, 310 Minn. 5, 17-18, 246 N.W.2d 19, 26 (emphasis added). Since Collis requires an examination of the subdivider's contribution to the need for the public use of dedicated land, the test of reasonableness cannot be limited to the percentage of land which a subdivider is asked to dedicate. - 7 - Z-13 Appellant's argument, focusing on the fact that plans for the road predated the development plans, is also too restrictive. The supreme court in Collis rejected the "extreme approach" of an Illinois decision requiring that "the burden cast upon the subdivider [be] specifically and uniquely attributable to his activity." Id. at 11, 246 N.W.2d at 22 (quoting Pioneer Trust & Say. Bank v. Village of Mount Prospect, 22 Ill.2d 375, 380, 176 N.E.2d 799, 802 (1961)). The court in Collis approved a refinement of the "specifically and uniquely attributable" test which notes the difficulty of tracing a need for public services to one particular development: On the other hand, a municipality might well be able to establish that a group of sub- divisions approved over a period of several years had been responsible for bringing into the community a considerable number of people making it necessary that the land dedications required of subdividers be utilized for school, park, and recreational purposes for the benefit of such influx. Id. at 12, 246 N.W.2d at 23 (emphasis added) (quoting Jordan v. Village of Menomonee Falls, 28 Wis.2d 608, 617, 137 N.W.2d 442, 447 (1965)). Some uses, such as freeways, major arterial highways or area -wide sports facilities, may have such a negligible relation to local development that dedication may not, as a matter of law, be required of a particular subdivider. The proposed County Road 9, however, as a "minor arterial road," is designed primarily to serve short, local trips. Thus, although not =.-13 attributable to the Middlemist addition alone, the need for the road may have a sufficient relation to local development, of which Middlemist's development is a part, to support a dedication requirement. The Collis test of reasonable dedication requirements is a facts -and -circumstances test. We agree with the city that more facts remain to be developed or presented as to the relation between the need for the road relocation and local development in general. Neither designation as a county road nor Metropolitan Council classification as a minor arterial road is determinative. Moreover, the trial court granted summary judgment based on the denial of equal protection; it did not address the reasonableness of the dedication requirement under the Collis standard. We note that the denial of direct access to the proposed county road may pose a "taking" issue separable from the broader issue of the dedication requirement. See Courteaus, Inc. v. State, Dept. of Highways, by Spannaus, 268 N.W.2d 65, 67 (Minn. 1978) (taking of abutting landowner's direct access to an existing highway is compensable). 2. Mandamus and attorneys fees Since we reverse the trial court's granting of summary judgment on Middlemist's claim for compensation, we need not address the claim of error in regard to the denial of mandamus. Similarly, since appellants have not at this point been successful in compelling the initiation of eminent domain Z- k3 proceedings, they are not entitled to attorneys fees, under either the statute or the stipulation. See Minn. Stat. § 117.045 (1984). D E C I S I O N The trial court erred in granting summary judgment on the appellants' right to compensation. We do not reach the issues of mandamus and attorneys fees.

Schneider Mayor, City of Plymouth 3400 Plymouth Boulevard Plymouth, MN 55447 Z 1 L0 On February 2, 1986, at approximately 1:30 p.m., at 135 Nathan Lane, Plymouth, MN, 55441, Mary J. Bird was struck in the head by a ceiling panel which was a part of an Otis Elevator. Ms. Bird and her husband, James J. Bird, have claims for damages in excess of $50,000.00 due to the negligence of Otis Elevator, Inc. and its employees, and the negligence of the State of Minnesota and its employees charged with inspecting and/or licensing the elevator. Plaintiffs may also have a claim against the City of Plymouth and its employees for negligence in inspecting and/or licensing the elevator. Please furnish promptly to the undersigned the names and addresses of all persons or companies in the chain of manufacture and distribution of the elevators at 135 Nathan Lane, Plymouth, MN 55441. Notice is also given that you are requested to preserve all evidence relating to the above-described incident and other incidents involving ceiling panels from elevators at this or any other location. This includes, but is not limited to, incident or accident reports, ceiling panels and other elevator parts. Dated: K - JAMES M.iDUNN - 24909 Attorney, for Plaintiffs Suite 500 701 Fourth Avenue South Minneapolis, MN 55415 (612) 338-1979 May 8, 1986 Mrs. Monte Wolenetz 3205 Ranier Lane Plymouth, MN 55447 Dear Mrs. Wolenetz: CITY OF PLYMOUTH+ Mayor Schneider has forwarded your resident feedback form to me for review and comment from the April 14 Town Meeting. In your note, you suggest we pave the shoulders of Highway 101 from County Road 6 to Highway 55. I have reviewed this with the City engineer and our Comprehensive Trail System Plan. Because of the dangerous situation existing on Highway 101 at this time, which includes a large volume of rapidly traveling cars, the trail system plan indicates a Class I separate trail is proper in this location. This simply would not be a good place to have bikers that close to the cars on Highway 101. We are making arrangements for the extension of the trail coming out of Oakwood Elementary School to go northerly along Highway 101 in the future. I am sorry that I cannot give you an exact timetable at this time when the future extension of that trail will take place. If you would like to discuss this subject with the further, you can reach me at 559-2800 x 265. Thank you for your time and interest in making Plymouth a safer place to' live.

During that meeting, I indi- cated that the City had ordered signs which stipulate that dogs must be on leashes, and that they have to be cleaned up after making messes on public property. As soon as these signs arrive, we will be placing one at the entrance to the trail behind your house adjacent to Dunkirk Lane.

Based on my letter dated April 30, 1986 (copy enclosed), Mr. Howard was requested to remove a chain link fence installed in the front yard of his property by May 8, 1986. The fence, which is approximately 10 feet in height and 20 feet in length, is in violation of the Plymouth City Ordinance. Section 10, Subdivision D Paragraph 1.B. states the following: "Interior side lot lines. No fence, wall or shrub planting of more than three (3) feet in height above the level of the street curb level shall be erected on any interior lot within the front yard as required in each district." (See enclosed copy). My inspection of yesterday revealed the fence is still intact. There has been no apparent attempt for its removal. Enclosed are photographs I took of the site which have the inspection dates on the back. I am requesting that your office proceed with issuing a formal complaint charge on this matter with hopes to gain the required compliance with the City Zoning Ordinance. Please contact me at 559-2800 should you have any questions or if I may be of any assistance. Sincerely, QM Joe Ryan Building Official cc: File 3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD, PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447, TELEPHONE (612) 559-2800 =- \-� C��. April 30, 1986 a Mr. Jeff Howard 5140 Zachary Lane North Plymouth, Mn 55442 Dear Mr. Howard: CITY C)(- Kymoufli This letter is in regards to our meeting which took place on April 23, 1986 at the Plymouth City Center in the presence of Associate Planner Al Cottingham. The purpose of our meeting was to discuss your recent installation of a chain link fence approximately 10 feet in height and 20 feet in width; located in the front yard of your property referenced above. A site inspection performed by our office on April 21, 1986 verified this information. As you are aware, the installation of this fence is in violation of the Plymouth City Ordinance. Section 10 Subdivision D Paragraph 1.b. states the following: "Interior side lot lines. No fence, wall or shrub planting of more than three (3) feet in height above the level of the street curb level shall be erected on any interior lot within the front yard as required in each district". A copy of this section was provided to you during our meeting. A copy of Section 7 Subdivision A and B of the Plymouth City Zoning Ordinance was also provided to you during this meeting. This section describes the purpose and intent of the residence districts. You will note that future restricted development districts such as your property, are included as being part of this section. You indicated during our meeting that the structure you erected was not a fence but rather a gate. Section 4 Subdivision B of the Plymouth City Zoning Ordinance defines a fence to be: Any partition, structure, wall or gate erected as a dividing marker , barrier or enclosure and located along the boundary or within the required lot area". A copy of this section was provided to you during our meeting. You also indicated that the purpose of installing a fence in the front yard of your property, would be to restrict your animals from gaining access beyond the physical boundaries of your land. You felt that in order to accomplish this, a fence being approximately 6 feet in height would need to be installed. I then stated that there is a mechanism by which one can make application to request a variation of the fence regulations set forth in the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance. A copy of the Variance and Appeal application procedure was given to you during our meeting. By notice of this letter you are being requested to remove that section of fencing described above within five (5) days date of this letter. If in the event you may wish to pursue a variance application, you would still be required to remove the fence within the time frame specified. A reinspection of your property will take place after five days to insure compliance with the Zoning Ordinance. I am confident we will be able to resolve this matter without the necessity of formal action. Please contact me at 559-2800 should you have any questions.

Bevins Plymouth Police Department RE: COMMENDATION AWARD Dear Mark, Z `fib It is my distinct pleasure to bestow on you the commendation award. You are being recognized for extraordinary achievement and accomplishment that you attained with the Plymouth Police Explorers. The Police Explorer Post is in the infancy of its affiliation with the police department. Yet, you and other police advisors were able to train these young men and women so well that they turned in a remark- able performance at this years conference in Brainerd. No fewer than 24 Police Explorer Posts were at this recent conference competing in various simulated police practices. There were over 250 explorers participating. Our team took first place in traffic accident invest- igation (even beating out the Highway Patrol team). In other team events we won third place in domestic crisis intervention and fourth place in hostage negotiations. In the individual competition we placed second in the obstacle course and received a fourth place in the law enforcement exam. Because of this incredible performance our post will receive scholar- ship money as well as trophies for the aforementioned events. I know how proud you are of these young men and women. The extra time and effort that you devoted to this program has paid off! Thank you for contributing to the positive image of Plymouth. The commendation award is the second highest service award; and, you certainly are worthy of it. A copy of this letter and commendation will be placed in your personnel file. You are also being given the commendation medal which may be worn on your uniform. Congratulations! Sincerely, Richard J. arlquis Public Safety Director PLYMOUTH POLICE DEPARTMENT RJC:tmb cc: Sgt.

Presented by May 13, 1986 Mr. James Willis, City Manager City of Plymouth 3400 Plymouth Blvd., Plymouth, Mn. 55447 Dear Mr. Willis: My husband and I were very surprised to read in publications, that the owner of the property at Avenue North, will again be permitted to operate stand, in her yard, in this her 4th year. S.- \Qa.. nr�r _r 3 the local x#101 and 10th a produce We have watched this operation - trucks bringing produce in to be sold (my husband is retired, and can observe, during the day). However, we felt that the residents on 10th Avenue had a better chance of voicing objections than we would - on 11th Avenue. What, may I ask, is the good of having a residential zoning when this is permitted? I wonder how anyone on the council or the Mayor, would like their summer guests to drive by this stand, for their annual visit to their home? What do you think it does to our property values? By August 15th, the summer is over. Your council member stated that this was a "main source of income". Three plus years, seems a long enough time to find another source of income. It is also a very definite traffic hazard. Yours very truly, osephine & Wi )li(am Johnson 17715 11th Avenue North Plymouth, Mn. 55447 May 16, 1986 CITY O? PLYMOUTR Mr. and Mrs. William Johnson 17715 - 11th Avenue No. Plymouth, MN 55447 Dear Mr. and Mrs. Johnson: I received your letter of May 13 in which you comment on the continuation of the vegetable stand at Highway 101 and 10th Avenue North. The City Council spent a good deal of time discussing this matter at a recent meeting and concluded, that while it was appropriate to further clarify, and restrict, such operations in residential zones, that the effective date of such new regulations should be deferred until August 15. The Council recognizes the concerns that you and many of your neighbors have raised regarding the sale of produce in residential zoning districts. They have responded to those concerns by amending the City's Zoning Code to further restrict such activities. The Council selected the August 15 date in order to provide those individuals, not fust the folks selling produce on 10th and 101, an opportunity to complete the balance of the spring plant- ing and ground preparation as well as to notify their customers of the fact that they will have to be operating in new locations. I believe the action taken by the City Council will provide the relief you and your neighbors have requested, while at the same time, affording those whose operations have been conducted for several years, an appropriate opportunity to find additional locations to conduct their business activities. Thank you for taking the time to share your observations with us. Yours truly, ACJ mes G.

Plymouth, MN 55447 Before the snow falls again, I would like to express my concern about the poor job of removing the snow in our cul-de-sac at 28th Avenue North (16940). Many times the snow was not removed at all, and when it was, the center remained covered. By spring, when everyone else had clear pavement, we still were getting stuck in our cul-de-sac under two feet of snow. It is a contract job and I implore you to investigate the contractor. When the city was responsible for the snow removal we were very satisfied. For our Police Department, I have nothing but the highest praise. We had need of their services several times in the past couple years and they went beyond their normal services. I also think your solution to the farm produce problem seems like a good one. It does seem that persons who actually produce the products on their own land should be able to sell them in Plymouth but trucking them in makes no sense. We have ample shopping for that purpose in the nearby groceries. Lastly, we have a severe problem with our pond. There is a city drain emptying into it and leaving a great residue of salt which is choking our pond. Your engineer, Fred Moore, came out last summer an pied a correction of the problem when conditions were drier in August. We have not heard from him since his visit and the problem is much worse this year. Please look into this for us and let me know your solution. Very truly yours, 7Td�9-;� Grace Mampel 16940 - 28th Avenue N.

Plymouth, MN 55447 Dear Mrs. Mampel: � yk4U/,, CITY O" PumbUTR Thank you for your letter dated May 2 which I received just today. raise several matters of concern which I will try to address below. You In discussing the snowplowing on your cul-de-sac, I was informed by dim Kolstad, our Public Works Superintendent, that our crews are normally responsible for the plowing of the cul-de-sac. In any event, however, I have alerted him to your concern with respect to the lack of service you experienced this past year. I cannot begin to explain why there would be two feet of snow left in your cul-de-sac following the completion of our snowplowing. It is our practice to plow snow in the cul-de-sac to the edges of the cul-de-sac and store the snow off the paved street. Having your particular concerns in mind, I am confident that the street crews will be able to provide you better service during the next snow season. Your neighborhood has several smaller ponds which collect the water from the Immediate area including the street right-of-way and then drain southerly to Gleason Lake: Your nnnA along with all the others upstream of Gleason Lake are designed to accomplish several objectives. The first is to reduce the cost of conveying storm water through extensive piping systems. Mother objective is to provide a means by which the water draining off of private and public property can be "cleansed" through the natural settlement of siltation and suspended particles in the water as well as cleansed through natural aquatic life. Your pond area will receive drainage from the street which will include sand and salts used in snow and ice control as well other material which may accumulate in the street. The same ponds also accumulate a good deal of chemicals which are washed off private properties as a result of fertili- zation. The action of ponds such as yours and others help to cleanse the water as it does drain off slowly to larger receiving bodies such as Gleason Lake, Lake Minnetonka and ultimately, the Mississippi River. In reviewing your specific problem with your pond, I discussed this matter with Fred Moore. He notes that he did visit with you and others last year about cleaning out the culvert emptying into your pond, but deferred action as he understood some neighbors were considering joining together to petition the City to have the ponds in your area excavated. He was informed just recently, that the people living adjacent to the pond east of your home, have not been able to agree upon a proposed improvement project and therefore, he is making plans to have the City clean out the culverts in your area. 3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD, PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447, TELEPHONE (612) 559-2800 Mrs. Grace Mampel ` — — VA May 14, 1986 Page two I am enclosing a copy of an engineering report dealing with the parks in your neighborhood.

The ponds are situated within the Willow Ponds, Shiloh 2nd & 3rd and Ponderosa Subdivisions. This area is known as Pond No. 3 of the North Gleason Lake drainage district. EXISTING CONDITIONS: The outlet culverts and outlet ditches at 28th Avenue and Everest Lane were recently cleaned under Project 408. Removal of sediment from the culverts and ditches has resulted in lowering the normal water elevation approximately 0.60 - 0.80 feet. Water at the lower level reveals minor erosion along the shoreline. Weed growth is also more prevalent due to the shallower normal water elevation. Northeast Pond (A) 1. Bank erosion to a depth of about 0.60 feet. 2. Normal water depth from 0 to 3 feet. 3. Saturated rear yards along the east side of the pond. 4. Dead tree and brush well within the confines of the pond. 5. Weed growth in shallow areas. 6. Sediment deposits at storm sewer outlets. West Pond (B) 1. Some bank erosion to a depth of about 0.80 feet. 2. Very shallow pond 0 to 2 feet deep. 3. Weed growth and decomposition. 4. Sediment deposits at storm sewer outlet. 200 GOPHER BUILDING 0 222 EAST LITTLE CANADA ROAD 0 ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA 55117 0 PHONE (612) 484-0272 Mr. Fred Moore July 16, 1985 Page 2 Northeast Pond (C) 1. Bank erosion to a depth of 0.80 feet. 2. Minor weed growth due to deeper water. 3. Pond depth of 2 to 4 feet. 4. Sediment deposits at storm sewer outlets. STUDIED IMPROVEMENTS: Alternate No. 1 This alternate considers deepening the ponding areas and maintaining the normal water elevation at present levels. Ponds A and B would be deepened by approximately 2 feet and Pond C by 1 foot. There is limited acccessability for the removal equipment and multiple access points between the dwellings would be required. Work would be performed during the winter months so that the frozen ground could support dragline equipment. Reseeding of the exposed banks is anticipated to be done by property owners. 1. The estimated construction cost is $69,000. 2. Easements may be required for access points and in areas where the pond is outside easements of record. 3. Hydraulic conditions would remain unchanged. 4. High water elevations would remain unchanged. 5. The saturated rear yards would not be improved. 6. Weed growth would not completely be controlled around the pond perimeter. Alternate No. 2 Alternate No. 2 considers raising the normal water elevation by 0.60 to 0.80 feet to the former elevation. The water level would be raised by means of wooden crest weirs constructed at the pond outlets near 28th Avenue and Everest Lane. Sediment deposits at the storm sewer outlets would be removed. 1. The estimated construction cost is $9,200. 2. The high water elevation would be raised necessitating the acquisition of additional permanent ponding easements. Several low lying properties could be =— ICI Mr. Fred Moore July 16, 1985 Page 3 severely affected. Considerable cost for surveying to establish drainage limits, legal description preparation and easement acquisition would be incurred. Not all property owners may grant easements which would require condemnation proceedings. 3. The water table would be permanently raised which would adversely affect low properties. 4. Raising the normal water elevation would not completely control weed growth in the shallow areas. Alternate No. 3 This alternate considers maintaining current water elevations. Sediment deposits from street sand would be removed from all the storm sewer outlets. This material could be removed with backhoe equipment with minimal disturbance to adjacent properties. Access points for removal operations would be along existing utility easements. 1. The estimated construction cost is $5,800. 2. Hydraulic conditions would remain unchanged. 3. High water and normal water elevations would remain unchanged. 4. The saturated rear yards would not be improved. 5. Present conditions would generally remain unchanged. CONCLUSIONS: 1. The condition of the studied ponds is typical of older ponding areas within the City of Plymouth. 2. The shallow water depths are a result of lack of grading during initial development, erosion during house building, and the natural eutriophication of wetland areas. 3. Weed growth and eutriophication is being accelerated by runoff of commercial lawn fertilizer. 4. Sediment deposits at storm sewer outlets is a result of the use of winter street sanding. Mr. Fred Moore July 16, 1985 Page 4 5. Alternate No. 1 which considers pond dredging is the most costly of the alternates. 6. Alternate No. 2 which proposes to permanently raise the water levels would adversely affect adjacent properties during high water. 7. Alternate No. 3 which considers removing sediment deposits at the outlets only will not improve pond aesthetics. We would be pleased to discuss our findings at your convenience. Sincerely, David J.
