(M-6) FOR YOUR INFORMATION..... 1. BUSINESS AND EXPANSION PROGRAM -- Thursday morning, Bob Quenroe, Marketing Manager, North Division NSP, conducted a brief meeting to acquaint several of us with the Department of Energy and Economic Development's (DEED) program dealing with business retention and expansion. Attending the meeting were Councilmember David Crain, 3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD, PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447, TELEPHONE (612) 559-2800 CITY COUNCIL INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM September 5, 1986 Page two Blair Tremere, Frank Boyles, and Robert Stewart of the Norwest Bank Metrowest Plymouth. DEED has developed a program to assist cities, regional development authorities, counties, etc., in surveying local businesses in an effort to find means by which they may be encour- aged to expand or remain within the area. NSP's role in this effort is to acquaint various communities with the availability of the program. Cities are not necessarily directly involved, but there is a heavy involvement on the part of volunteers who would be recruited and trained to conduct a structured interview with participants. Those data would be tabulated by DEED and shared with local communities. A review of the questionnaire reveals that most of the questions have little direct relationship to local government and, in fact, do not even address major policy questions such as worker's compensation, unemployment compensation, and tax issues. We concluded our meeting noting that it appeared the Twin West Chamber of Commerce would be the most appropriate agency to handle this matter, particularly if such a program were to be undertaken. Bob Stewart and I will contact David Olson of the Chamber to see whether or not he believes the Chamber Board and/or its membership may support such an effort. 2. OSHA INSPECTION UPDATE -- Attached is a copy of the Minnesota Occupational Safety and Health citation report which the City received as a result of our August 4 and 5 inspection. Frank Boyles and Fred Moore have indicated on the citation forms the status of our compliance efforts with respect to each violation. I do not anticipate that there will be any problem in complying each citation within the allocated time frame. For Council information, Fire Stations No. 1 and 2 were also inspected in August. We anticipate receipt of four non -serious citations and will convey them to the Council upon receipt. (I-2) 3. COUNTY ROAD 9 IMPROVEMENT PROSECT -- Attached is a memorandum from Fred Moore on his meetings of ugust 8 and September 3 with Dave Swenson, Director of the Hennepin County Department of Transpor- tation Right -of -Way Department, to discuss the cost sharing issue for the acquisition of right-of-way necessary for new County Road 9. The September 3 meeting resulted in the County submitting a proposal to the City which Fred has outlined in his memo. Also attached is a letter to Vern Genzlinger, Associate County Administrator, conveying the Council's concerns with respect to the County Road 9 project, and requesting a meeting with County officials to discuss these concerns.

Willis, City Manager Fred G. Moore, Director of Public Works New County Road 9 Improvements Project 642 On August 8, 1986 I met with Dave Swenson, Director of the Hennepin County Department of Transportation Right-of-way Department. The purpose of my meeting was to discuss cost sharing for the acquisition of the right-of-way necessary for New County Road 9. The normal County policy is an equal sharing between the City and the County in the cost of right-of-way acquisition. During previous preliminary meetings, which you and I have had with the Design Department of the County, they have stated that normally the City would not receive credit for new right-of-way obtained through the platting process. We had informed the County that, in our opinion, this would not be acceptable to the Plymouth City Council. During my meeting on August 8 I outlined the parcels which the City had previously obtained, and the parcels remaining to be obtained by the County. Considering only the right-of-way necessary on the new alignment from West Medicine Lake Drive to Nathan Lane the City has obtained approximately one half of the necessary right-of-way. The plats from which the City obtained the right-of-way are as follows: West Ridge Estates Addition Zachary Lane Playfield Middlemist 6th Addition Trenton Place Addition The parcels from which the County has to purchase right-of-way are as follows: Berthiaume property Forester property Sagamore Apartments In addition to the necessary right-of-way on the new alignment additional right-of-way is required along either side of existing County Road 9 from West Medicine Lake Drive to I-494. I had made a proposal to the County that it was my opinion that it would be acceptable to the City that all right-of-way acquired by the City would be dedicated for the road project at Memo: James G. Willis September 4, 1986 Page Two Z-3 no cost to the county and all additional right-of-way necessary to be acquired by the County would be at County expense with no participation by the City. I based this proposal on the approximate equal amount of right-of-way necessary from each party. On September 3, 1986 I met again with Dave Swenson to discuss the right-of-way issue. He had met with other officials of Hennepin County and made the following proposal: 1. On the acquisition of the additional right-of-way between West Medicine Lake Drive and I-494 there would be an equal cost sharing between the City and the County. The right-of-way necessary within this area involves five parcels and the estimated total cost is $53,000. Excepted from this cost sharing proposal would be the small portion of the Berthiaume property at the Northwest corner of West Medicine Lake Drive and County Road 9. This parcel is legally tied with the larger parcel of land on the East side of West Medicine Lake Drive. The County would be responsible for the total cost of the acquisition of the necessary right-of-way from the Berthiaume parcel. 2. The City would dedicate all right-of-way obtained through the platting process and from the Zachary Lane Playfield as its cost sharing in the right-of-way acquisition. 3. All costs incurred by the County to purchase the additional right-of-way corridor East of West Medicine Lake Drive would be paid for by the County with no cost sharing from the City. 4. Throughout the project there are minor construction easements, drainage structure easements and site easements needed along the main corridor right-of-way. The estimated cost for all of these easements is $10,000. The City and the County would share equally in this acquisition cost. The proposal made by the County has an estimated City cost for the acquisition of new right-of-way of $31,500. I believe this proposal by the County is equitable to both parties and gives the City credit for the major acquisitions which we have acquired through the dedication process. I recommend approval of the County's proposal and they will be including this proposal in the Cost Sharing Agreement when it is presented to the City. Unless you or the City Council disagree with the County's proposal, no action is required until we receive the Cost Sharing Agreement, and it is considered by the City Council. As you and the City Council are aware, the City is involved in two law suits over the dedication of right-of-way for County Road 9. This right-of-way is a major portion which is being supplied by the City as part of our participation in the cost sharing on right-of-way. The City would be totally responsible for defending these law suits and paying any judgements made as a result of the suits. Fred G. Moore, P.E. September 3, 1986 CITY OF Mr. Vern Genzlinger PLYMOUTR Associate County Administrator Hennepin County Bureau of Public A-2300 Government Center Minneapolis, MN 55487 Dear Mr. Genzlinger: Service At the August 25, 1986 Plymouth City Council meeting, discussion arose with respect to the County Road 9 improvement project from County Road 18 to I-494, and the turnback of County roadways to the City. As a result of these discussions, the Council directed that I write this letter expressing our concerns, and urge prompt action in order that the County Road 9 project can proceed without delay. Specifically, the Council has the following concerns: 1. The City Council has not yet taken formal action on approving the plans for reconstruction of County Road 9 from County Road 18 to I-494. We are especially concerned about this since, as you know, the new section of roadway will pose unique challenges because of the grade change over the improvement area, the undulating nature of the roadway, and the improved parcels which it will pass. We are concerned, for example, about the type of buffering which will be provided. Following a public information meeting held by the City, the County has included berming for one group of adjacent property owners but refused berming or landscaping requested by other property owners. Council members have also discussed how access will be assured to buildings adjacent to the roadway, such as the church located just east of the intersection of existing County Road 9 and I-494. The Council is concerned that the "U-turn solution" suggested by County staff may create an unnecessary traffic hazard. It is essential, in our opinion, that the City Council be given up to four weeks to completely review these plans in order that we can work with members of your staff to assure that any potential problems have been anticipated. 2. A second concern is the fact that we have not received any word on the cost sharing agreement between the City and County with respect to this project. Our City Manager has previously discussed this with you. Here again, adequate time will be required for the City Council to review and evaluate the agreement completely, and to discuss its implications with you and your staff. Of great importance to the 3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD, PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447, TELEPHONE (612) 559-2800 Mr. Vern Genzlinger September 3, 1986 Page two =- City, will be the credit given to the City for providing the new right-of-way through our development process. I'm sure you will agree that neither the County or City would profit by having the project delayed because the City did not receive sufficient time for a thorough review and discussion of the cost sharing agreement. 3. The Council's last concern relates to the definition of "acceptable roadway" in situations where County roads are "turned back" to the City for maintenance. Historically, we have done a visual survey of such roadways to determine what minor improvements might be made to the existing roadway surface to render it acceptable for City maintenance responsibilities. From the City's perspective, we view the turnback as part and parcel of the cost sharing arrangement. The Council is anxious to receive a response from you on the three issues outlined above. If it is not possible for the County to provide the City with a detailed copy of the proposed cost sharing agreement including the provisions with respect to old County Road 9 turnback, by Monday, September 15, I would like to schedule a meeting with yourself and appropriate members of your staff, County Commissioners, and City Council members in order that we can thoroughly discuss this subject and establish a mutually agreeable time line for the resolution of these matters. The City staff is presently reviewing the plans and will be returning them to the Design Department with their comments by September 3rd. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Anderson JAA:tim Executive Secretary = W A NEWSLETTER ON THE STUDY OF TRANSIT OPTIONS AHEAD The Problem .... POTENTIAL TRANSIT CAPITAL INVESTMENTS IN TWIN CITIES Highway congestion is increasing. Transit defi- cits are growing. Funding is falling behind. All of these issues are of concern to Twin Cities residents. At present, no regional consensus exists as to the role of transit and the potential of transit capital investments in transit to help resolve these problems. The Potential Solution.... Cost-effective transit alternatives in highly tra- veled corridors --solutions beyond regular -route bus service improvements --may be necessary. In its "Study of Potential Transit Capital Investments in Twin Cities Corridors," a Metro Council task force is looking at which corridors have the greatest need and potential for transit capital investments. The study will set priori- ties among all Twin Cities travel corridors and determine if and where transit capital investments should occur. Coordination with Other Transit Issues.... The Metropolitan Council is involved in many other transit issues, including the Regional Transit Board's (RTB) assessment of transit needs. The Council will be addressing transit funding options in 1986 and revising its Regional Transportation Plan in 1987. CORRIDORS AUGUST 1986 The Background.... Three transit capital improvements are already in operation or are presently being planned in the Twin Cities. These include 1) access ramps on Interstates 35W south of Minneapolis which give carpools, vanpools, and buses precedence over vehicles occupied by just one person; 2) the high - occupancy vehicle lanes being built on Interstate 394 west of Minneapolis; and 3) lanes exclusively for buses between the Minneapolis and St. Paul campuses of the University of Minnesota. Previous studies have also addressed the need for transit capital improvements in the Twin Cities. Most recently, the Council and the RTB established the University Av. corridor as the highest priority for capital transit investments in the region, and designated light rail transit as the preferred technology in the University Av. corri- dor, Southwest, and Hiawatha Av. corridors. The Newsletter.... This is the first of three newsletters issued by the Metropolitan Council's Long -Range Transit Task Force with the assistance of the consulting firm of BRW, Inc. The purpose is to communicate infor- mation and solicit participation from community decision -makers regarding the project. The newsletter will notify you of forums to be held this fall. Public officials will be asked to comment on potential capital transit investments that may be feasible in each corridor. The Process.... The study process involves three major steps: - Developing Regional Transit Technologies Transit technologies that are most applicable and publicly acceptable in the Twin Cities Region have been identified. - Identifying Corridor Transit Technologies Transit technologies most feasible in each corridor are being identified on the basis of the corridor's available right-of-way, fore- casted transit use, and its socioeconomic characteristics. - Classifying Corridors Priorities among corridors will be established on the basis of a number of criteria. DEVELOP REGIONAL IDENTIFY TRANSIT CHNOLOGIES CORRIDOR OR IT TECHNOLOGIES(CORRIDORS CLASSIFY ST. PAUL ORIENTED CORRIDORS The Corridors.... Although ma:iy factors influence transit use, the following criteria were selected as the most significant in determining a cnrridor's potential for future transit use: - Current Transit Use - Population - Employment - Travel - Roadway Congestion - Needs of Transit Dependent People Initially the Metropolitan Area was divided into 18 corridors. Each of these corridors was assessed with respect to the above criteria. As a result of the assessment, 12 corridors were selected to be further evaluated for major long- range transit improvements. The twelve corridors (illustrated below) to be further evaluated are: - St. Paul West - St. Paul Southwest - St. Paul Northeast - St. Paul North - Minneapolis Southeast - Minneapolis South - Minneapolis Southwest - Minneapolis Northwest - Minneapolis North - Minneapolis Northeast - Central - I-494 (not pictured) Corridor Definition - The Long -Range Transit Task Force has defined a corridor as a geographic area within which transit technologies could be implemented. MINNEAPOLIS ORIENTED CORRIDORS �Q�+ 01�.i`� The Transit Technologies ... The Study of Potential Capital Investments in Twin Cities Corridors is considering the five transit technologies illustrated on the right for potential application in each corridor. These were selected from an initial range of potential technologies, that included: Preferential Access Improvements/Rider Services Buses and vanpools or carpools operating on conventional freeway or highway lanes. These vehicles may be given preference in entering freeway on -ramps or may use special ramps. Rider support facili- ties include park-and-ride lots, transfer facilities, bus pullouts, passenger waiting facilities, etc. High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) Lanes on Freeway or Expressway Reserved freeway or expressway lanes for vehicles carrying two or more persons, e.g., bus, carpool, vanpool. Typically existing traffic lanes are dedicated to HOV use or additional lanes are constructed in the middle or shoulder areas. Busway Roadways reserved for freeway right-of-way, rights-of-way such as reversible lanes or tw o Light Rail Transit buses only. Busways may be constructed in a on existing roadway right-of-way or other abandoned rail lines. Busways may have lanes for two -direction operation. Driver -operated, electrically powered rail cars with an overhead power source. Right-of-way is generally at grade; other vehicles and pedestrians can cross the track. Rights-of-way are typically on city streets, freeways, or abandoned railroads tracks. Station spacing is typically every 1/2 to 1 mile. Rapid (or Heavy) Rail Transit Electrically powered, high-speed (up to 70 mph) rail cars operating on exclusive, separate rights-of-way. Power source is in the guideway. Rapid rail transit offers the highest travel speeds and passenger -carrying capacity of any major transit technology. Station spacing is typically every 1-1/2 to 2 miles. Automated Guideway - Large Vehicle Large, automated, driverless vehicles operating on a guideway within an exclusive right-of-way. Vehicles are continuously moni- tored and controlled from a central facility. Systems vary in vehicle size and speed, guideway type, and vehicle propulsion. Automated Guideway - Personal Rapid Transit Automated, driverless guideway system that uses small vehicles (2-6 passengers) operating very frequently (every one to ten seconds). The pure form of this concept would allow non-stop service between origins and destinations. Technologies Dropped from Contention The Long -Range Transit Task Force and the Metropolitan Council determined that rapid rail transit is not applicable in this metro- politan area. While it has been proven in numerous corridor appli- cations around the country, the ridership required to justify rapid rail is 75,000 to 100,000 riders per day --more than any forecasted corridor ridership in the Twin Cities Area. Capital costs for such systems are typically $100 million per mile while farebox recovery ratios are low. Personal rapid transit is unproven and should undergo a comprehen- sive demonstration prior to operation in an urban setting. Major questions exist with respect to the operation of personal rapid transit. It possibly needs to be applied in a major activity center before it's considered for this region.

Good news and bad news from the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission (MWCC). Walter Johnson, MWCC Director of Planning, made presentations on two issues. A. Uniform rate structure proposal. Currently, MWCC rates vary across seven service areas. They plan to phase in over five years a uniform rate across all areas. This will result in Plymouth's rate increasing less rapidly than under the current structure. The change is being made because of the belief there should be equal cost for equal service. B. Service Availability Charge (SAC) rates will increase dramatically over the next 10 to 25 years. Currently the SAC rate is $475 per unit. This is expected to increase to $1,100 per unit in 1995 and to $5,700 in 2010. Obviously there are a lot of assumptions that go into these forecasts and reality may prove different. 2. The preliminary Metropolitan Council budget for 1987 is for an expenditure level of $11.5 million (excluding $36.9 million "pass-through" spending), down 6.5%. Total employment will decrease from an average of 222 in 1986 to an average of 200 in 1987. The employment is to be 195 by the end of 1987. Despite this reduction, total property taxes for Metro Council activities will increase 11.9% to $9.9 million. This includes a 52% increase in debt service to $1.8 million. Property taxes for agency operations increase 5.7% to $6.8 million. One of the comments submitted by the committee is that there appears to be other head -count reductions that could be made without damaging the Council's effectiveness. 3. Various sources have suggested there ought to be some kind of a "Metropolitan Area Fund". The possibilities have included a Development Fund (Citizens League), Transportation Fund (Rep. Bill Schreiber), and an Infrastructure Replacement Fund (Metro Council). Among the major issues surrounding such a concept are: purpose, financing method, control and many more. An initial discussion on this topic will be part of the September 11 Committee meeting agenda. Three minutes of comment last week showed there are very strong pro and con feelings on the subject (i.e. Bloomington - Pro, Minneapolis and others - Con).

As you may know, the Plymouth Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on Wednesday, August 27 on this issue. Many residents were present to submit their concerns about Alpha Human Services. Following the hearing, the matter was deferred for 60 days to allow neighbors to meet with Alpha Human Service representatives to resolve issues of concern.

Schneider, Mayor City of Plymouth 34UO Plymouth Blvd. Plymouth, MN 55447 Re: Oakdale West 3rd Addition Dear Mr. Sciineider: OF COUNSEL THEO-WAN GENSTEEN, JR. I am disappointed that the Council determined to provide a permit to Mr. Myron for the alteration of the wetlands (dredging of the pond) jointly owned by Mr. Myron and the Pribbles. As I expressed to Mr. Myron after the meeting, I earnestly hope that the speculation of *fir. Myron's engineers, and supported by the City engineers, does come to pass, that is, the pond is not destroyed by the proposed removal of material. Suffice it to say that if the worst case scenario cones to pass, we will have no alternative but to hold the City and the developers strictly liable for whatever damage we incur. I would like to point out one item that apparently escaped the attention of the Council, that was the lack of soil borings provided to me either by the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District or the City Engineers Office. The soil oorings, if they were in the possession of the City Engineers Office, should have been provideu to me at the time that I requested all documentation submitted to the City with respect to the proposed alteration. Mr. Goldberg seemed to have reference to soil borings and I cannot understand why he obtained that information on the night of August 25th, but did not have it available to me a week earlier when I picked up the materials that were represented to be all the materials filed with the City with respect to the pond. Additionally, I was somewhat surprised to find that Mr. Goldberg was an advocate for the position of the developer, which just indicates that I am not immuned to surprises.

Willis FROM: Associate Planner Al Cottingham 45W, SUBJECT METROPOLITAN COUNCIL HOUSING REVIEW On August 18, 1986, you received a copy of a letter from the Metropolitan Council re- garding its review of Plymouth's revised Housing Plan. In their letter they note that on August 14, 1986, the Metropolitan Council considered and approved the revised Hous- ing Plan. The Metropolitan Council staff commented in a summary paragraph to the Council, a few concerns which are listed below with my response: 1. The Plan quotes Metropolitan Council population projections for the Year 2000, but makes no mention of projections of number of housing units expected or planned for in interim time periods, nor of residential land availability to meet the project needs. I pointed out to their staff, the Housing Element is only one Element of the total Comprehensive Plan. We have projections for the number of housing units and land availability in the Inventory Section of the Comprehensive Plan. 2. Although the Plan mentions concern about affordability of housing for lower-income households, including single parent families; the plan contains no numerical objectives for low -and -moderate income housing. The City is encouraged to include numerical objectives in its plan, particularly for low -and -moderate -income households. The previous Housing Element of the Metropolitan Development Guide required numerical objectives; the present Housing Element does not; therefore, our revised Housing element is not required to contain numerical objectives. 3. In addition, the Plan states the requirement for garages in multi -family develop- ments should be deleted, but again does not say this is planned. This is a general statement as to how the City could enhance affordable hous- ing. In the future, staff could repare Ordinance is for a Public ,- Hearing at the Planning Commission leve and action by the City Council. 4. The City is encouraged to use as many of these tools as necessary to provide for low -and -moderate -cost housing needs it has identified. The City will continue to use available funds or other tools to assist in pro- viding low -and -moderate -cost housing within the City.

I have acknowledged your staff's comments and concerns with some of the wording, and items that seem to have been deleted from the original plan. The new Housing portion of the Metropolitan Development Guide Plan does not specifically address some of the items that the previous Development Guide required. The Housing Element is one Element of a number which make up the City's Comprehensive Plan, as is true for your Housing Guide, which is one portion of the overall Metropolitan Development Guide. The City has addressed your concerns in other Elements of our Comprehensive Plan and there would seem to be no need to add them to the Housing Element. I appreciate the comments regarding our revised Housing Plan and we will keep these in mind as we implement the Plan. Sincerely, 4a-"� Al Cottingham Associate Planner AC/gw cc: City Manager dames G.

This consideration was based on the following statement from the Consent List which was adopted by the Council: The Plymouth Housing Plan represents a through examination of the city's housing situation and notes that the city is rapidly growing with a young age profile, offering greater choice in housing than in the past and having housing stock in very good condition with the exception of two small concentrations of housing in obvious need of repair. The plan states that the city should grow from the 1980 population of 31,615 to an optimum population of 95,000 to 125,000. The plan quotes Metropolitan Council population projections for the year 2000, but makes no mention of projections of numbers of housing units expected or planned for in interim time periods, nor of residential land availability to meet the projected needs. Although the plan mentions concern about affordability of housing for lower-income households, including single - parent families, the plan contains no numerical objectives for low- and moderate -income housing. The city is encouraged to include numerical objectives in its plan, particularly for low- and moderate -income households. The plan discusses how its land use plan and zoning ordinance can allow the construction of more affordable housing by using Planned Unit Developments (PUDs) to provide density and lot size flexibility, and by reviewing the potential of PUDs to provide low- and moderate -cost housing as a diversity of housing types. The plan also mentions that lot sizes could be reduced and lot widths narrowed, but does not mention that this is planned. In addition, the plan says the requirement for garages in multifamily developments should be deleted, but again does not say this is planned. The plan also mentions other tools that could be used, such as tax increment financing and the continued use of Community Development Block Grant funds and housing mortgage revenue bonds. The city also has a housing and redevelopment authority that can help provide housing. The city is encouraged to use as many of these tools as necesary to provide for the low- and moderate -cost housing needs it has identified.The revised housing element of Plymouth's comprehensive plan satisfactorily addresses the housing plan content guidelines. The housing element is consistent with the Housing chapter and other chapters of the Metropolitan Development Guide. An EgUai Oppertl;nity Employer =- 9 c" .

Five people were injured, some seriously. The rain was pouring down and conditions could not have been more miserable. Officer Dave Digatono from your department happened to be driving by the accident scene. He immediately approached me and offered his assistance. I was up to my elbows with injured people at that time and really appreciated the assistance. Dave Digatono immediately saw to the care of some of the injured victims and stayed to assist until the helicopter and the ambulance crews took over the medical duties. I am sure that Dave got soaked to the skin. Dave cleared from the accident scene before I even got a chance to personally thank him for his efforts. The unselfishness displayed by Dave was sincerely appreciated by all of us at the accident scene. I would like to bring this incident to your attention and also to pass on my sincerest thanks for Dave's help. The good will generated by examples such as this cannot be measured.

CITY OF PLYMOUTH 3400 PLYMOUTH BLVD., PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447 TELEPHONE (612) 559-2800 DATE: September 5, 1986 MEMO T0: James G. Willis, City Manager r FROM: Eric J. Blank, Director of Parks and Recreation SUBJECT: COUNTY ROAD 61 LETTER SUBMITTED BY ARLENE JOHNSON The Mayor and City Councilmember Vasiliou have requested that we draft a response for the Council's review. Outlined below in the same order as the questions, are the replies that Fred Moore and I have discussed with regard to this letter. 1) The City is responsible for the property shown in blue, because they are under our ownership at this particular time. As with all other properties within the City, these areas are mowed when a complaint has been lodged with the City against the property. Because of a recent complaint received about the property on the east side of County Road 61, that area is currently being mowed by our weed contractor and will be billed back to the City. 2) The evergreens were placed on berms at locations "A" and "B" as part of the County Road 61 construction project. The end of the cul-de-sac at Location "A" in question, upon which the berm has been placed, is City owned property; therefore, the area designated as "A" in her letter, because it is owned by the City is mowed and maintained by the City. The area where evergreens were planted on property "B" is owned by a private party, and therefore, the City does not maintain this area. 3) The area on the north side of 37th Avenue at the intersection of County Road 61 is all platted as road right-of-way. The grass growing here is not maintained. We will mow it and reseed this fall as needed. Next spring the Homeowners Association could take over the maintenance along with those areas where the entry signs are proposed. 4) All property owners within the City of Plymouth are responsible for maintaining their property to the curb line. In instances where home- owners have a curb in front of their house, on the side, and behind their house, they are responsible for maintaining all these locations. This is shown on the attached page of the Plymouth City Code, Section 810 Assessable Current Services, Subsection 2, Weeds as a Nuisance. The east side of County Road 61 is currently mowed under an agreement with the Hennepin County Park Reserve District whereby they mow the property from the trail out to the curb. I don't believe they are in a position to send their mowers to the west side of County Road 61 to maintain private property. James G. Willis Re: County Road 61 Page 2 5) The same as in Item #4, the Park Reserve District has, by agreement, contracted to maintain all of the property east of County Road 61 where we have constructed the City trail. 6) Stone Wall a. The wall was built by the contractor for the road improvements. b. The planting within the wall was accomplished by the road contractor. c. A grass seed mixture was planted within the stone planters. d. This planting occurred in the spring of 1985. e. The street division will plant/replant the "pockets" on the wall. Currently the wall has a mixture of grass and weeds. After it is planted with crown vetch, it should not require further maintenance. 7) The construction of matching entry signs at 34th and 37th Avenues is legal as long as the signs are not within the road right-of-way and the appropriate permits are secured from the City for each sign. 8) Small trees which have been vandalized along the County Road 61 trail are being replaced as appropriate. In most cases, this means the trees that were vandalized or died during the spring and summer, are replaced the following fall or perhaps the following spring, depending on the best planting time for the species and the availability of trees. 9) These areas were all graded and seeded as part of the County Road 61 construction project. We will check them for any unusual rough spots that would make them unable to be maintained in a reasonable fashion. If we find such spots, we will do the necessary grading to correct it. This will be completed by September 30, 1986. Plymouth City Code 810.01 (Rev. 1982) Section 810 - Assessable Current Services 810.01. Definition.

Records shall be maintained by the weed inspector showing the cost of such work attributable to each sepa- rate lot and parcel and shall deliver such information to the City Clerk. (Amended, Ord. 81-06, Sec. 5) 810.05. Public Health and Safety Hazards. When the City removes or eliminates public health or safety hazards from private property pursuant to this Code, the administrative officer responsible for doing the work shall keep a record of the cost of such removal or elimination against each parcel of property affected and annually deliver such information to the City Clerk.

The Council may then spread the charges against property benefitted as a special assessment under Minnesota Statutes, Section 429.101 and other pertinent statutes for certification to the County Auditor and collection along with current taxes the following year or in annual installments, not exceeding ten, as the Council may determine in each case.
