Ms. Sunny Jo Emerson
Tonnage Payment Program
Solid Waste Division
Metropolitan Council
300 Metro Square Building
St. Paul, Minnesota 55101
Dear Ms. Emerson:
I am the Project Coordinator of Plymouth. I certify that the attached
tonnage summary form and associated documentation report tons of recyclables
collected from residential sources within the City (or program) boundaries
beginning April 1, 1986, and ending September 30, 1986, and that those
tonnages were, to my knowledge, subsequently recycled. A total of 410 tons
of materials were collected by the City and recycled during that time period.
The City requests a $1,640 tonnage payment for those materials.
I certify that these tonnages were collected as a direct result of program
operations that qualify for reimbursement under 1985 Minn. Statutes 473.844,
Sub. 5. Our records will be open for review and copying by the Council or
its authorized agents for a period of three years from the date of
certification of tonnages. A brief description of the program(s) and its
operation follows:
The City of Plymouth Recycling Program consists of a City-wide
residential curbside pilot project and a 24 hour/day dropoff
center. Paper, cardboard, glass, metal, oil and batteries are
collected on a once per month basis. WASP (Super Cycle) is paid
$2,250 per month to service approximately 10,000 homes.
Estimated participation rate is approximately 30%. In addition
the City offices collect and market it's high grade office waste
paper, 1.85 tons of the total were from this source and were
sold to Rohn Industries.
Sincerely
Richard J. Pouliot

revised
the format for the bill in the hope that it is

the
computer prirtout . The first three pages suiranarize
Rodney D. Anderson
the
total amount of fees and disbursements incurred for
Corrine A. Heine
David D. Beaudoin
each
particular matter. The remaining pages itemize the
Paul E. Rasmussen
type
of service performed on each matter.
Steven M. Tallen
The new billingorma_t is a partial response to the
Council's recuest that we provide a better summary of the
types of services that we provide. I am in the process of
reviewing our other procedures in the office to provide
more detailed information. I will discuss our proposal
with you shortly.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
Chairman Steigerwald introduced the application by Asphalt ,ASPHALT DRIVEWAY CO.
Driveway Company to use a single family home for offices and SITE PLAN AND
outside storage in the Industrial District. Reading of the CONDITIONAL USE
October 1, 1986 Planning Staff Report was waived. PERMIT (86102)
Chairman Steigerwald introduced Tom Loucks, 7216 Boone
Avenue No., representing the petitioner. Mr. Loucks stated
he has read the report and has comments regarding the re-
quirement for blue spruce trees on the south and north side
of the property. He stated this is a minor point, but the
trucks will be parked and stored in a low, depressed part of
the site, so that only the tops of the trucks could be seen
from the street. There is existing vegetation including a
large shrub which provides adequate screening.
His second concern is that they will, in essence, be doing
winter construction and that some of the site improvements
cannot be completed until next spring. He noted they will
-197-
Page 198
October 8, "1986 Planning Commission Minutes
be installing the B-612 at the fuel dispensing areas and the
grading and curbing can be completed, however, the paving
cannot be done until spring, nor will the landscaping be
installed until that time. He requests consideration of
these matters.
Chairman Steigerwald inquired if this application will move
forward to allow completion of the work needed this fall.
Coordinator McConn stated that if the Planning Commission
makes their recommendation, the application will move for-
ward to the City Council on October 20, 1986. A Site
Improvements Performance Agreement and financial guarantee
will be required for the site work. Consideration could be
given to delaying installation of the paving. Coordinator
McConn and Engineer Goldberg confirmed Banner Engineering
was allowed to use only Class V gravel because of soils
corrections and the need for the base to settle.
Coordinator McConn clarified the requirement for the trees,
stating that one additional spruce east of the drive, and
two on the north side of the drive are required to screen
this corner. Mr. Loucks reiterated that they are concerned
about the additional expense for placing these trees when
there is existing vegetation including the large shrub and
other trees around the parking area.
Chairman Steigerwald opened the Public Hearing.
Mr. Fred Salmon, 9818 10th Avenue North, stated he has no
objection to this proposal, but had questions about plans
the City may have for the rest of the residences?
Coordinator McConn stated the City has no plans to initiate
development of the residential sites. Mr. Salmon stated no
one will buy the property. Coordinator McConn suggested
that Mr. Salmon contact area property owners to determine if
they need additional land. Chairman Steigerwald concurred
in that the businesses may have future expansion plans.
Mr. Salmon stated his property cannot be used for an
industrial site because of the size of the lot. When the
City reclassified the property in this area, it put him in
this predicament. No potential home buyer would be inter-
ested in his property and he wishes he could see some
escape.
Chairman Steigerwald closed the Public Hearing.
MOTION by Commissioner Wire, seconded by Commissioner Pauba NOTION TO APPROVE
to recommend approval for the Site Plan and Conditional Use
Permit for Asphalt Driveway Company, subject to the
conditions as listed in the October 1, 1986 staff report.

NEW BUSINESS
Chairman Steigerwald introduced the application by Mike MIKE BUNNELL
Bunnell, Bunnell Construction, Inc. for Lot Division and BUNNELL CONSTRUCTION
Variance. Reading of the September 29, 1986 Planning Staff LOT DIVISION/VARIANCE
Report was waived. (86095)
Chairman Steigerwald introduced Mr. Mike Bunnell, 11200 51st
Avenue North. Mr. Bunnell stated he has presented a letter
which addresses the Variance Criteria in that this proposal
is similar to other divisions accomplished in this neighbor-
hood. The letter also explains the reasons why it is not
feasible for him to pursue the extension of a public road.
Chairman Steigerwald inquired if Mr. Bunnell didn't agree
that additional lots would bring more money for the land?
Mr. Bunnell stated it might if the parcel were larger, how-
ever, he doesn't believe he can ask the price needed to
cover the additional expense that would be incurred from
further division and extension of a road. Chairman
Steigerwald noted this development area has good amenities
because of the Luce Line Trail and Hadley Woods develop-
ment. Mr. Bunnell stated a property owner next door has had
his property for sale for some time and it has not sold.
Chairman Steigerwald inquired if there is room on the south
side of the large lot, to extend a cul-de-sac? Mr. Bunnell
answered in the negative, the current house foundation
restricts further division; he is willing to file the neces-
sary covenants on the property restricting future division.
Chairman Steigerwald inquired about the foundation of the
home that was razed. Mr. Bunnell stated there is no reason
to dig out this old foundation, the new home will be
constructed in another area of the site.
Mr. Don Peterson, 17825 4th Avenue North, read the appraisal
of this property regarding the use of the land which states
that three to four lots, with installation of a cul-de-sac
built at that scale, may not be feasible, and is not cost
effective. The division is more desirable with two building
sites. The land has been for sale for over a year, plans
were drawn for the property that contained four lots, but
developers backed out because of the cost factors.
MOTION by Chairman Steigerwald, seconded by Commissioner MOTION TO APPROVE
Plufka, recommending approval for the Lot Division and Vari-
ance subject to the conditions as listed in the September
29, 1986 staff report. Approval of the Variance is based on
the fact that this property is too small for the instal-
lation of a cul-de-sac; and, the lot width variance is
needed because of the configuration of the parcel.

PUBLIC HEARING
Chairman Steigerwald opened the Public Hearing on the Zoning
Ordinance Amendments. Reading of the October 3, 1986 Plan-
ning Staff Report was waived.
He introduced Mr. Dale Kennedy, Carlson Companies, whose
interest is in the discussion of Item No. 6 in the October
3, 1986 Planning Staff Report, Clarification of standards
for determining percentage of office use and occupancy in
buildings in the IP (planned industrial) District.
Chairman Steigerwald introduced the Amendment and requested
an overview of the draft amendment by Coordinator McConn.
Mr. Kennedy stated Carlson Companies has to think about
their needs for future expansion and it is their opinion
that they should be able to do this without having to go
through the entire application process. They contemplate
conversion of warehouse space that may be 80% office/20%
warehousing, that has the required parking, and where no
change will be made to the outside of the building. This,
in their opinion, should be able to be reviewed by the City
without having to go through the entire approval process.
The time element is the major problem, because of the time
consumed by legal notice, Public Hearing, and approval by
the Commission and the City Council.
Commissioner Plufka confirmed that Mr. Kennedy is not
opposed to the City's review and approval, but is looking to
shorten the time it takes by allowing more administrative
discretion. Mr. Kennedy stated the time element is impor-
tant and City staff could review the proposal and make their
recommendations.
Chairman Steigerwald inquired how the City could handle this
question knowing the building and its use; is there a way
for Carlson Companies to have a proposal such as this
administratively approved?

ORDINANCE AMENDMENTS
ORDINANCE AMENDMENT
NO. 6
Page 201
October 8, 1986 Planning Commission Minutes
Director Tremere stated that the Draft Amendment before the
Commission deals with a problem previously discussed by the
Commission and by the Council. The problem is that the cur-
rent Ordinance does not have a standard by which the occu-
pancy of industrial buildings can be measured with respect
to the amount of office space. There has been an increasing
amount of space in industrial buildings devoted to office
uses beyond the level of use contemplated when the
industrial buildings were proposed. Some industrial build-
ings were originally proposed as warehouses and distribution
centers and have virtually been converted to multi -tenant
office buildings.
The Planning Commission and City Council, at a joint meeting
earlier this year, indicated that a 50% standard should be
adopted in the Ordinance where by any occupancy above that
would be a considered a conditional use subject to review
and approval by the City. The proposed amendment does that,
and it clarifies existing language regarding "proof -of -park-
ing" plans.
Director Tremere explained the City Council's direction to
the City Manager to "streamline" the Ordinance require-
ments. The Council specifically requested an outline of how
the Site Plan applications can be streamlined by administra-
tive review. Before their endorsement, they want to see the
criteria that would be followed. Staff is developing pos-
sible criteria now.
Director Tremere stated that the Council's direction about
streamlining was subsequent to the discussion on office use
standards. Mr. Kennedy's concerns can be more fully addres-
sed when the issue about processing comes to the Commission
from the City Council in the near future.
Chairman Steigerwald inquired about the enforcement of occu-
pancy and parking requirements for buildings. Director
Tremere explained that practical problems exist in trying to
account for the occupancy of every commercial and industrial
building all the time. Occupancy may change from the pers-
pective of the toning Ordinance, but, from the perspective
of the Building Code, are the still the same classification
of occupancy. Therefore a new Certificate of Occupancy may
not be required. In the mean time, that change may result
in a more intense use of the property and thus parking
problems will be realized.
Also remodeling and interior modifications may occur without
permits, and without the City's knowledge, at least for some
time, until after the work has been done and a new use has
been introduced into a particular building. The parking
often is the signal that a change has occurred, and that the
change has resulted in an excessive demand for parking
spaces.
Page 202
October 8, 1986 Planning Commission Minutes
Chairman Steigerwald noted that with modular walls and
office equipment, it becomes very easy to partition office
space. Coordinator McConn noted that the tenants change and
the City is not advised, but buildings approved under the
Site Plan process require the submittal of a breakdown of
uses within the building. \
Commissioner Magnus stated his concern that land zoned
industrial is changing character by increased office use and
this will increase traffic in the industrial parks. The
commercial zones are designed for a higher traffic volume.
Director Tremere stated owners of property in the commercial
zoning districts are concerned about allowing too much
office use in the industrial zone. Commissioner Magnus
stated there is a need for thorough evaluation. It is his
opinion that the industrial zone should be retained as an
exclusive industrial use area as originally envisioned.
Commissioner Plufka stated the world is changing and poli-
cies need to change as well. It is important to keep retail
sales out of the industrial zone to stay away from customer
sales and customer traffic; however, the Ordinance amendment
for 50`,K is a change for the good and would raise a flag at
that point.
Chairman Steigerwald and Commissioner Plufka concurred that
those buildings with adequate parking are not the problem;
it is those cases where the building plans are for offices
but where not enough parking stalls.
Commissioner Mellen stated he does not see the necessity for
rewriting the Ordinance; the building department reviews the
plans and has the authority to ask for revisions to those
plans. Chairman Steigerwald stated the required parking
must be established for the land use. Commissioner Mellen
suggested that upon checking the plans, if the criteria for
the office space and verification of parking and utilities
are not met, then a Conditional Use Permit can be required.
Commissioner Wire stated there are other perspectives, such
as traffic circulation, where problems are created by
additional employees.
Further discussion ensued regarding the review, administra-
tive and otherwise of the Site Plans and Conditional Use
Permits in the Industrial Zone.
Commissioner Stulberg stated the amendment establishing the
50 percent standard is giving a clear indication to the
developer before he goes forward with his plans. An exist-
ing building will be required to apply for a Conditional Use
Permit for any expansion or substantial remodeling. The
question raised by Mr. Kennedy is whether this should be
Page 203
October 8, 1986 Planning Commission Minutes
reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission and City
Council, or if City staff review and approval can be
granted. The Commission should move on the Amendment, but
there should be clarification that those existing buildings
with pending plans for changing the character and use of the
building, will be subject to existing requirements.
Director Tremere stated these can be reviewed on a case-by-
case basis. New requirements would not be applied to exist-
ing proposals now being reviewed.
Commissioner Wire stated he does not want to obstruct the
review of plans, such as those now proposed by Carlson
Companies. He is in favor of the language in the Ordinance
as it is, and believes if there is no Conditional Use Per-
mit, there is no control. He suggests there be further
discussion regarding administrative approval of Conditional
Use Permits.
MOTION by Commissioner Plufka, seconded by Commissioner
Stulberg to recommend adoption of Draft Amendment No 6,
clarifying the standards relating to the calculated percent-
age of office use and occupancy in buildings in the I-1
(planned industrial) District as presented in the October 3,
1986 Planning Staff Report.
Roll Call Vote. 7 Ayes. MOTION carried.
Chairman Steigerwald introduced Mr. Douglas R. Schroeder,
5230 Vicksburg Lane, who stated his interest in the draft
Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 4 of the October 3, 1986
Planning Staff Report. Mr. Schroeder inquired why the City
is opposed to large lot, "Hobby Farms" in the FRD (future
restricted development) District? He has a hobby farm and
has read the State law drafted in 1982. He has no problem
with the City's involvement as far as determination of
reasonable access and roadways, but to say that the parcels
involved must be at least 20 acres, is to say there won't be
hobby farms.
He does not understand this opposition. Mr. Schroeder is
concerned that this amendment will further "cement" existing
regulations which could make the process of changing the
City Policy more difficult. He stated he has a draft of the
Metropolitan Council development framework and that their
guidelines suggest a density of one dwelling per 10 acres is
a good standard for rural areas.
A discussion ensued, and Chairman Steigerwald inquired about
the example raised by Mr. Schroeder. Mr. Schroeder indicat-
ed he knew a person who had approximately 19 acre in the
Rural Service Area of Plymouth, who had been advised by City
staff that division of that property would not be allowed.

ti October 8, 1986 Planning Commission Minutes
Chairman Steigerwald inquired whether the property had
public street access which is a requirement of the City
Code. Mr. Schroeder responded in the affirmative. Chairman
Steigerwald suggested that the proposal would have to be
evaluated as a variance because of the City Policy on creat-
ing parcels in the Rural Area. He noted however, that
existing parcels with public street access, could obtain
building permits.
Director Tremere explained the City Urban Development
Policy, and that the Metropolitan Waste Commission and
Metropolitan Council do not support development in the rural
areas where urban services are not available.
He explained that numerous 5 acre parcels in the FRO
District that were created before the legislature changed
the law by requiring 20 acres and 500 ft. of frontage on a
public road. The City will issue a building permit for a 5
acre parcel with 300 ft. of frontage on a public street. He
explained that the Metropolitan Council addresses overall
density, not minimum lot size.
Mr. Schroeder stated that Plymouth's Policy is based on the
sanitary sewer issue; however, he talked with a Paul
Baltzersen, Metropolitan Council, who offered his opinion
that a two acre parcel in the northwest metropolitan area
could support a residence with an adequate on-site septic
system.
Chairman Steigerwald stated that in allowing small rural
divisions, the City could end up with a substantial number
of 5 -acre parcels with property owners asking for further
divisions. This is not good planning. The owners of large
parcels of rural property understand the limitations of City
services, whereas, the future owners of the 5 -acre parcels
may not understand why they do not receive the urban ser-
vices provided to the developed areas of the City.
Mr. Schroeder stated he does not want further urban develop-
ment. He wants this area to remain rural in nature. It is
his opinion that 20 acres is too large and 10 acres would be
best.
Commissioner Plufka stated that letting property stay
rural, and making property stay rural, are two different
things. Many property owners are waiting for the chance to
develop their property and the City cannot abridge property
owner rights once an area is serviced and eligible for
development.
Mr. Schroeder stated that prospective hobby farm buyers can
afford a 10 acre parcel, but cannot afford a 20 acre parcel,
this deprives those who want to select a rural setting for
their home.
Page 205

Director Tremere explained the history of the Urban Develop-
ment Policy. He stated the City is not changing philosphy
or policy,. The clarifying amendment reflects the current
policy and State law as stated. Commissioner Plufka stated
that translation of this Policy into the Code is
appropriate.
Mr. Schroeder stated he reviewed as his chance to raise this
as a policy issue. It is his opinion the City should deal
with this now.
Chairman Steigerwald advised Mr. Schroeder that this amend-
ment will move forward to the City Council and he should
check with City staff for the date of that meeting.
Commissioner Stulberg stated it would be helpful to see the
exact statement that would be inserted in the Ordinance. He
stated he supported the proposed clarification, but that it
would help the Commission and other interested parties to
see the exact language prior to adoption.
MOTION by Commissioner Plufka, seconded by Commissioner NOTION TO APPROVE
Mellen to recommend approval of Draft Ordinance Amendment AMENDMENT NO. 4
No. 4, clarifying of minimum lot area and width requirements
for parcels in the FRD (future restricted development)
District as presented; and, that the final Ordinance lang-
uage shall be reviewed by the Commission prior to City
Council consideration.
Chairman Steigerwald stated that Mr. Schroeder's concerns
about the Urban Development Policy and the status of hobby
farms in the rural area could be discussed by the Planning
Commission and City Council at a future joint meeting. He
told Mr. Schroeder to contact City staff periodically to
confirm the date and time of that joint meeting, since it is
a public meeting, so he could provide input. The current
action is to provide the public with clear understanding of
current policy and law, and is not viewed as an obstruction
to future consideration of the Policy itself.

Chairman Steigerwald introduced Draft Amendment No. 2 in the ORDINANCE AMENDMENT
October 3, 1986 Planning Staff Report. NO. 2
Commissioner Plufka stated his concern of the development of
a two-family dwelling for one lot within that area of
primarily single family homes. It would be uncharacteristic
of the entire neighborhood. He stated he could not vote for
this amendment in light of the in -fill development that can
occur in the R-2 Zoning Districts; and, that the Conditional
Use Permit requirement is necessary in these cases.
Director Tremere and Coordinator McConn noted the R-2 Zoning
District contains Residential Planned Unit Developments that
have this protection built in under the original approvals
through the requirement of a general development plan.
Director Tremere questioned what is being accomplished by
requiring the Conditional Use Permit in the R-2 Zoning
District if the structure meets the lot size requirements.
Further discussion ensued regarding neighborhood concerns
and the fact that not that few lots remain in the R-2 Zoning
Districts which could be affected. Director Tremere pointed
out that this amendment is formulated as a part of the
Council direction for streamlining the Ordinance and
development application process. He suggested that an
effective date could be set; this would allow those lots
already platted, to develop in accordance with current
Ordinance provisions. New lots would be subject to the new
requirements.

appropriate. Director Tremere stated there could be the
case of a single lot created by metes and bounds where
reasonable use of the land may be a basis for rezoning.

PLYMOUTH ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON TRANSIT
October 15, 1986
PRESENT: Dale Knutson, Dennis Jacobson, Dick Maki, Nancy Holter,
Barbara Roberts, Melissa Holiday, Willis Johnson, Frank
Boyles
I. APPROVAL OF SEPTEMBER 10, 1986 MINUTES
The minutes of the September 10 meeting were approved as submitted.
II. RIDERSHIP STATISTICS
The committee reviewed the September ridership statistics. The internal
circulator ridership, at 33, is a new low for 1986, and the lowest
average since 1984. Willis Johnson stated that he believes the primary
reason for the drop in ridership is: 1) a reduced seasonal employment
at Ridgedale; 2) the graduation of students from Junior high who
heretofore participated in the work study program using Metrolink to get
from school to their Job; and 3) the fact that the circulator no longer
flip-flops. In his discussions with the driver, shoppers are unwilling
to use the internal circulator if one of their trips requires 45 minutes
because they live on one end or the other of the route. The internal
circulator driver will monitor passenger counts during October, and the
numbers will be evaluated as soon as possible at the end of the month.
During the course of the month, the driver will assess rider reaction to
various types of schedule revisions, including the possibility of
running four routes each day which flip-flop, rather than the existing
six one-way trips. Willis Johnson and Frank Boyles will meet during the
first month of November to discuss the results and determine what
changes should be made.
The commuter/ reverse commuter ridership has continued strong, with 354
passengers on the average in September. During this week, for the first
time in the history of the system, there was "standing room only" on the
first A.M. inbound pulse. This was true for all three full-size buses.
Thought will have to be given to the most economical way to provide
additional carrying capacity in order that growth may continue without
increase in cost to provide the service.
Committee members also noted that the park and ride lot has been full to
capacity on a number of occasions. There was concern that, in the
absence of expansion of the parking lot, that people would use other
park and ride lots that had greater capacity in the future. Frank
Boyles reported on his inability to convince MnDOT to expand the park
and ride lot in 1986. This matter will have to be further pursued.

Willis Johnson pointed out Prudential will be moving some 400 employees
from its County Road 10/I-494 location to the Northwest Business
Campus. This may provide an increase in ridership for the reverse
commuter service. He is working with Prudential representatives in this
regard. Committee members asked that a determination be made why the
second bus for the A.M. pulse is late, requiring the small buses to wait
for the second full-size bus. Willis Johnson stated that this should
not be occurring, as the transfer should be without delay. Willis will
investigate and report.
III. FOLLOW UP ON ITEMS FROM PREVIOUS MEETINGS
A. Encourage Drivers to Make Fare Cards Available -- Willis Johnson
believes that it is not appropriate to rely exclusively on drivers
to have fare cards available. Instead, he suggested that he work
with grocery stores, apartment managers, convenience stores, etc.,
to ask them to sell fare cards to their customers. Committee
members also suggested that, on a test basis, a booth be set up at
the park and ride lot on a pre -announced basis so that passengers
could purchase fare cards. Willis will accomplish this test before
the next meeting.
B. Minicoach Signs -- Committee members confirmed that there is still a
problem in the afternoon, drivers are not putting the signs in their
windows so that passengers can identify which minicoach is their's.
Frank Boyles will talk with Jim Johnson about this.
C. Pineview/Dunkirk Route -- Melissa indicated that the driver has
revised the route and the issue appears to be resolved for now. She
will continue to monitor.
D. Sale of Fare Cards and Availability of Schedules at IDS -- Willis
Johnson stated that this booth is operated by the MTC. Frank will
contact the RTB requesting that Plymouth Metrolink fare cards and
schedules be included at this booth since it is probably funded
through state income or local property tax.
E. Schedule Distribution at County Road 6 and Highway 101 Shopping
Center -- Willis Johnson stated that schedules have been distributed
at the shopping center. He also stated that 500 schedules had been
sent to various apartments recently, and this is just the first step
in distribution of schedules this fall.
IV. IDENTIFICATION OF NEW AREAS OF CONCERN; RECOMMENDATION
Committee members expressed concern, as indicated earlier, that the
second bus on the A.M. pulse is later at the park and ride lot, requir-
ing passengers to wait in the small buses for the full-size coach.
Committee members recited a problem with one driver with excessive
speed. They will continue to monitor this matter.

On the average of three times a week, only one bus is initially avail-
able downtown for the 5:08 p.m. pick up. In addition to increasing
passenger discomfort and uncertainty, this requires 14 to 15 people to
stand in the first vehicle. At 12th Avenue, half of the people in the
bus have then been shifted to a second bus, so that everyone can sit.
Willis Johnson stated that this may be because other buses are coming
from other charter activities and are late in getting to this site.
Frank Boyles will ask Medicine Lake Line officials to insure that
vehicles which the City pays for through Metrolink are actually avail-
able on a consistent basis, including the second 5:08 p.m. vehicle.
Frank Boyles will discuss with dim Johnson.
Committee members stated that the schedule has not been changed in the
park and ride lot sign, and that the light is out in the bus shelter,
and that the most easterly street light is burned out. Frank Boyles is
responsible for seeing that these are replaced.
V. REVIEW OF PROPOSED MARKETING/PLANNING EFFORTS
Frank Boyles reviewed the status of marketing and planning efforts.
Progress has been made in most marketing areas. Willis Johnson stated
that on/off counts will be conducted the last week of October, and with
that information, he will be in a better position to analyze results for
reducing costs and improving services. He will obtain recent and
proposed City development information from the City and, together with
Frank Boyles, will develop service options and implementation plans for
1987. Dick Maki stated that he would help in conducting on/off counts.
Melissa Holiday suggested that the sewer and water bill be used for
advertising purposes, and perhaps, that the schedule be stuffed in the
upcoming bills. Frank Boyles will investigate this possibility.
Frank Boyles stated that a survey should be completed this fall or
winter verifying information collected some years back with respect to
operating strengths and problems with the system, perceptions of the
drivers and vehicles, and ideas from passengers on what might be done to
improve system operation/services.
VI. VIEW OF PLYMOUTH METROLINK VIDEO TAPE PROMOTION
The committee reviewed the 60 -second promotional Metrolink tape and the
nine minute tape.
The meeting adjourned at 8:50 p.m. The next meeting is scheduled for
Wednesday, November 19 at 7:00 p.m.

MEMO
DATE: October 23, 1986 for the Council Meeting of October 2 1986
TO: James G. Willis, City Manager, through Fred G. Moore Director of
Public Works
FROM: Richard J. Pouliot, Project Coordinator
SUBJECT: Recycling Status Report
Curbside pickup for the month of September amounted to 59.9 tons: The
pickups appeared to go fairly smooth, however, there were still some
misses as in prior months.
Pickups for the month of October are scheduled for the 28th, 29th and
30th. This is the last month of our original basic contract for pickup
services. The City does have the provision in the contract where at
the City's option the contract may be extended through December 31,
1986. All indications are that future bids will be higher than the
current bid, therefore, I recommend we extend the contract through the
end of December.
Application has been made to the Metropolitan Council for the $4 per
ton rebate for the period of April 1 through September 30. During that
period the City recycled 409.99 tons for which the City has requested a
payment of $1,640. 1.85 tons of the total was recycled office paper
within the City Hall. A breakdown of materials is as follows:
31.83
tons
of
aluminum
98.61
tons
of
glass
5.91
tons
of
batteries
269.33
tons
of
newspaper
4.31
tons
of
automobile oil
409.99 Total
From the tonnages collected the apparent participation rate for the
City of Plymouth is approximately 30%. If the City is to achieve the
goals recommended by the Metropolitan Council and Hennepin County, the
participation rate will have to be increased dramatically. In order to
increase this participation rate I recommend the City proceed to look
into organized garbage collection. In addition, the City will be
required by the new Hennepin County Ordinance 13 to pass an Ordinance
making it mandatory to recycle in the City of Plymouth. I recommend
that just as soon as the County Ordinance 13 is approved by the County
Board that the City approve a mandatory Recycling Ordinance.

Honorable Virgil Schneider
Mayor of Plymouth
11520 - 54th Avenue South
Plymouth, MN 55442
Dear Mayor Schneider:
I am writing this letter in opposition to "Alpha House," as a Council
Member in the City of Medicine Lake, a concerned citizen and a father of
three girls.
As a council member, I represent the sentiment of this City as one of dis-
belief that something that affects another city so dramatically could be
built on that city's border line.
Being a concerned citizen, I question the wisdom in letting such a facility
as "Alpha House" be put in such a concentrated family area. In permitting
this facility, the City of Plymouth takes on additional responsibilities of
public safety for the protection of its citizens. Remember, this is not a
workhouse, a home for battered women, or a detox center. It is an un-
locked, come and go as you please, treatment center for sexual offenders.
I have enclosed a quote from Mr. Kaplan, of Alpha House, from Life maga-
zine, December 1984, issue. As you read it, it may give you a new insight
as to exactly what you would have in Plymouth if this project goes through.
Being a father, the freedom that my girls have enjoyed in their young lives
will be changed to one of imposed restrictions and protection.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
�G%%-J �!J L'�/•L QiL�

Dear Mr. Schrader:

CITY O�
PLYMOUTH+
Thank you for your October 17, 1986 letter expressing your concerns about
the Alpha Human Services development petition. I am sharing your letter
with others of the City Council. As you may be aware, a series of four
public meetings were held by the Petitioner to afford residents an
opportunity to share concerns such as yours. In addition, the Plymouth
Planning Commission has heard extensive testimony and conducted exhaustive
discussion on the subject at their Public Hearing which spanned two
evenings - August 26 and October 22. There has been a great deal of
opportunity for resident input and discussion of this important matter.
I appreciate your providing me with excerpts from the December 1984 issue of
Life Magazine regarding sexual offenders. I can assure you that we too are
concerned about the safety of area residents. The City Council will act
upon this petition at it's regular Council meeting scheduled for Monday,
November 17. The Council will not be conducting the Public Hearing as we
will have the benefit of the Public Hearing materials from the Planninq
Commission as well as telephone conversations and correspondence such as
yours. The decision before the City Council is whether the petition as
submitted conforms to the City's zoning ordinance requirements. The adopted
City Council policy is to allow ten minutes each for proponents and
opponents to state their case. I can assure you on behalf of the City
Council, that we will carefully weigh these matters using ordinance
standards prior to taking any action regarding this proposal.
Yours truly,
Vi gil Schneider

Mayor Virgil Schneider
Plymouth City Council
3400 Plymouth Blvd.
Plymouth, MN. 55441
Dear Mayor Schneider:
October 18, 1986
I want to let you know that I am very much opposed to the City of Plymouth
granting the use permit to Alpha House at the Plymouth site.
As I understand it, the proposed facility would have minimum security and
would not be locked. That would mean that convicted sex felons would be
allowed to wander about the Plymouth, Wayzata, etc. neighborhoods as they
please. I am worried enough about all the prison and rehabilatation facil-
ities we already have in Plymouth (in my opinion, we have more than our share).
Having sexual offenders wandering in our neighborhood is just the last straw.
I am afraid now to be out after dark. Having this facility in Plymouth would
curtail any after dark activities on my part and will even make me afraid to
be out in broad daylight.
The City, as you know, is constructing a beautiful park at Parker's Lake. I
won't feel like going there, even in the day time, because I think that would
be a place at which these people would hang out.
Also, as I understand it, the proposed site is within 500 feet of over a hun-
dred children and certainly accessible to many thousands of children in the
area. I don't have any children but I am appalled at the thought that my
friends' children would be potentially exposed to convicted child molesters.
While I don't consider myself a prejudiced person, I am very frightened of
recovering sexual offenders and am of the understanding that most of them do
not ever become cured. That's why I see this facility as such a danger and
detriment to our community.
As you can see, I feel that the use permit for Alpha House at the proposed
Plymouth site should be denied on the grounds that it is detrimental to the
safety and comfort of the surrounding area and that it injures the use and
enjoyment of other property around it.
I would appreciate your consideration of my point of view.
Sin erely,
Karen Fox

Dear Mr. Schneider:
m
We are definitely opposed to the proposed site location for Alpha Human Services, Inc's
correctional facility. It is inappropriate to locate THIS TYPE of corrections facility in a
residential development where 104 children live?
Plymouth already has the Hennepin County Adult Corrections Facility. There is no need
for Plymouth to monopolize the market on corrections facilities.
We are confident that a BETTER site location exists in the metro area.
Sincerely yours,

Dear Ms. Johnson:
�e!
CITY OF
PLYMOUTR
Thank you for attending the Plymouth Town Meeting for Area Two on October 14
and submitting Resident Feedback Forms. Your feedback forms express concern
about three issues. The first is the signage on northbound County Road 61.
I am attaching for your information, a copy of a letter from Fred Moore,
Director of Public Works, to Hennepin County requesting revisions in the
signage in order to reduce the confusion which presently exists. Fred Moore
will provide you with an update on this subject once a response is received
from the County.
Your second concern was in regard to trees being planted on the east side of
County Road 61 from West Medicine Lake Road to County Road 9. You asked
that the City replant those trees which are less than eight feet tall and
plant additional trees between each present tree location as soon as
possible. I have referred this matter to Fred Moore and Eric Blank, Park
and Recreation Director, who will respond to you directly.
Your final concern was that the appropriate type of ground cover be planted
on the stone wall at County Road 61 and Medicine Lake Drive. I am attaching
for your information, an article submitted by Councilmember Maria Vasiliou
regarding landscaping along State highways. This article clarifys the
reason for the selection of ground covers for road rights-of-way. Finally,
I have provided the City Councilmembers with copies of your petition
regarding the stone wall and tree replacement along County Road 61. I
believe that the staff will work with you toward a resolution of these
matters.
Sincerely,

Subject: Northbound County Road 61 at Highway 55
Dear Herb:
On October 14 the Plymouth City Council held a "Town Meeting" for a portion of
our City. The purpose of this meeting is to maintain open communication
channels with the residents of the Community and the City Council. The area of
the Community which was invited to this meeting were adjacent to the
intersection of County Road 61 and Highway 55.
Several residents of this area expressed a concern about the traffic signing,
markings and congestion on Northbound County Road 61 on the South approach to
Highway 55. Currently for Northbound traffic there are two lanes, except after
a sharp curve immediately South of the Amoco Gas Station. At this point the
roadway is marked for three lanes of traffic. The far right lane is marked as
a right turn lane, the middle lane is marked as a through/left turn, and the
left lane is marked as a left turn lane. There is no advanced warning previous
to the curve.
If you are Northbound on County Road 61 and are in the far right lane, because
of the heavy traffic congestion at this intersection, you cannot merge into the
proper lane to make the through movement or the left turn movement. On the
North side of Highway 55 there are two traffic lanes making it possible for the
Northbound traffic to. make the through movement from either the right turn lane
or the through/left turn lane. Because of the heavy congestion at this
intersection many vehicles are trapped and forced into making the through
movement from the right turn lane and some residents had commented that they
had received a ticket for this traffic violation.
The City Council has directed me to request the County to review the traffic
situation at this intersection. At a minimum it appears that there should be
additional advanced warning signs before the intersection designating the
proper lane usage. It appears that the lane which now is an exclusive right
turn lane should also be designated as a through/right turn lane.

Mr. Herb Rlossner
October 16, 1986

In addition to reviewing the signing and lane usage at this intersection, we
are also requesting that County Road 61 South of Highway 55 to Industrial Park
Boulevard be reviewed for safety improvements because of the existing traffic
congestion, the existing geometrics, the private driveway entrances- and the
existing street entrance. It is our opinion that this intersection requires
reconstruction and upgrading. The County has a copy of the "County Highway 61
Corridor Study" prepared by the City of Plymouth in December 1982. This report
indicates the improvements necessary in order for this intersection to operate
at an acceptable level of service. As a result of the opening of County Road
61 to Highway 12 more traffic is using this roadway. Also, because of the
construction taking place on Highway 12 there is additional traffic being
diverted to Highway 55 by way of County Road 61.
If there are any questions with regard to the conditions which exist at this
intersection or the requested improvements by the City, please do not hesitate
to contact me.
Sincerely,
Fred G. Moore, P.E.

What trees and plants does the
Department of Transportation
choose for highway landscaping?
How are they chosen? -
According to Dale Wreisner
of the Department of Trans-
portation (DOT) Environmental
Services section, the plantings
"must meet one or more function-
al criteria to qualify for inclusion in
the state's landscaping plans."
The DOT landscapes much in the
same way as private parties land-
scape their yards.
"For example," Wreisner said,

Vinegar mother occurs when
the bacteria (acetic acid
bacteria) forms a thin film on top

thick and gelatinous and that is
called mother of vinegar. (Air

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Heins:

CITY OF
PLYMOUTR
T- -7 b
This letter is written in response to your request presented to the City
Council Monday, October 6 with respect to your desire to have sewer,.water,
and street service brought to your property at the above address. You have
specifically requested that the City bring these utilities to your northeast
property line through the extension of Annapolis Circle which is platted as
part of the Prudential Northwest Business Campus. The Council further
considered your request on October 20, and this letter shall serve as their
response to your petition request.
There appear to be three separate issues with respect to the extension of
public utilities which could affect your property. These three areas are as
follows:
1. The extension of sewer, water, and street along Annapolis Circle from
Campus Drive westerly to the northeast corner of your property
culminating in a cul-de-sac.
2. The possible need to loop a watermain along Annapolis Circle from the
cul-de-sac referred to in item one above, south and easterly along
platted but unconstructed Annapolis Circle connecting to an existing
watermain on the presently constructed Annapolis Circle cul-de-sac
immediately east of the Sinclair Gas Station.
3. A possible need to construct Annapolis Circle from the cul-de-sac
referred to in item one above, south and easterly to the Annapolis
Circle cul-de-sac east of the Sinclair Gas Station.
As you are aware, the Prudential Northwest Business Campus has been platted
under the City's Planned Unit Development ordinance. The Prudential
Insurance Company of America has been developing this project for the last
several years and it is contemplated that they will continue the development
of the plat in the years ahead. Part of the existing platting of the
Northwest Business Campus reflects a loop street referred to as Annapolis
Circle. Currently, Annapolis Circle is constructed for a portion of it's
length from it's southerly connection to Campus Drive, south and westerly to
serve the Highway 55 frontage properties. The cul-de-sac on this segment
terminates just east of the Sinclair Gas Station. The Prudential Insurance
Company through agreements with the City of Plymouth, has agreed to
construct another segment of Annapolis Circle westerly from Campus Drive
terminating in a cul-de-sac which would be connected to the northeasterly
portion of your property. This segment of the roadway has not been
constructed and is the one which you are currently requesting.

With respect to the construction of Annapolis Circle referred to in item one
above, to provide new public street access to your property, the City
Council will instruct Prudential Insurance Company to construct or have
constructed the necessary improvements (including street, sewer and water)
so as to provide new access to your parcel within 180 days following
approval of a Site Plan and issuance of a building permit for your property.
With respect to items two and three above, there may be a need for further
public improvements to serve development on your property. As noted at the
October 6 Council meeting, the City is not able to determine whether or not
such improvements may be required. Such a determination can be made only
upon the review of a specific Site Plan for development of your property.
This plan has not yet been presented to the City. In any event,.however, at
such time as a plan is presented to the City, the need for either or both of
the improvements contemplated in items two and three above may be demon-
strated. It is likely, however, that if either of the improvements
contemplated in items two and three above are required, they will primarily
benefit the development of your property and not that of the Northwest
Business Campus. These improvements could be undertaken as public improve-
ments following required public hearings which would include agreement on
the payment of special assessments by those benefitting from such improve-
ments.
We fully appreciate and recognize your desire to have your property
developed for it's highest and best use. We look forward to working with
you or your representatives as you proceed with the development of your
property, including the necessary submissions for platting and site plan
approval.
Yours Truly,
ACi

Dear Jim:
Thank you for your letter of October 20. I did send
the same letter to all of the Council members involved
in this matter.
I also sent a copy of the letter to Wayzata School Board,
as one of their members had expressed an interest in the
matter.
I am sorry that your city clerk misunderstood the
identification when I was to see her. I am so used to
showing my identification that she thought she might
have been dealing with an IRS official. It was not my
intent to represent to her that I was an IRS official.
She did not ask me whether I was an IRS official. It is
customary when dealing with individuals on their taxes
or with the IRS or state of Minnesota to show that card
for identification.
I am sorry I will not be able to attend the meeting on
October 27, but I am sure the wisdom of the Council will
prevail on this matter.

Dear Council Members,
It is my understanding that the City of Plymouth
is reviewing programs to be funded in 1987.
I hope the Domestic Assault Intervention Program
will continue to be a Plymouth program. I have been a
resident of Plymouth for two years now, formerly living
in New Jersey. I was amazed at the assistance and help
given me by the police, volunteers and staff of the
Intervention Program. For the first time in six years
I feel safe, not only for myself but also for my children.
Please let this program continue.
Sincerely,
To City Council members of Plymouth:
I am writing this letter because I have strong feelings about the
importance of a community domestic assault intervention program.
Two years ago I was in the Emergency Room of North Memorial Hospital
as a result of an assault by my husband. Advocates who were visiting
a woman from another city talked to me at the hospital and actually
were instrumental in getting my husband in the court system and mandated
to behavior treatment.
=- I Z � \,C)
I have been coming to the women's group established and maintained
by the Plymouth Intervention Program ever since my assault and cannot tell
you how important it is to me, and other participants, that this group
continue. I have been given much needed information and support at this
group and I can assure you the presence of an intervention program is of utmost
importance to me for my safety and the safety of my children.
I sincerely hope the City of Plymouth will see fit to continue to fund this
program.
Yours very truly,
October 20, 1986
October 22, 1986
City of Plymouth
Plymouth, Mn.
Dear Council Members:
I am writing to ask that you continue to fund the
Domestic Assault Intervention Project for 1987.
The continuation of this program has a very special
meaning for me. I have lived in Plymouth for over
22 years and it was only this summer that I discovered
there were women in my community who would respond to
my call for help and assist me in obtaining an Order
for Protection.
I am also a member of the Plymouth women's group
facilitated by Intervention staff and have a great need
to have this group available for me.
Thank you for your consideration.
Yours very truly,

Dear Mr. Knoernschild,
October 20, 1986

Thank you for using the customer comment card. The request you made was for
a special assessment search. The City's regulations for a special assessment
search are as follows:
1. There is a $12.00 fee per search for this service.
2. The fee must accompany a written request.
3. The city will process your request within a week.
4. No verbal information is given.
The special assessment search prints a detailed listing of the remaining
principal and interest plus any pending assessments and utility billing
information.
The owner of a property can receive the balance of special assessments
remaining on that property at no charge. However, the city still requires
that the property owner either come into City Hall or mail in a written
request for these balances.
If you have any other questions, please contact Tom Kelly at 559-2800 Ext. 280.

Dear Mr. Gustafson:
This confirms our meeting at the Plymouth City Center, 3400 Plymouth Blvd.,
for 5:00 p.m., Wednesday, November 5. As I indicated over the phone, this
would be an ideal opportunity for neighbors and Gun Club representatives to
discuss any problems which have arisen since our last meeting some time
ago. I believe that the focal point for the meeting will be a discussion of
possible limitations on shooting times on Sunday afternoon. As I
understand, you will be able to make this meeting. Please contact me if you
have any questions.

Dear Mr. Kuklok:
ZGd.
This confirms our meeting at the Plymouth City Center, 3400 Plymouth Blvd.,
for 5:00 p.m., Wednesday, November 5. As I indicated over the phone, this
would be an ideal opportunity for neighbors and Gun Club representatives to
discuss any problems which have arisen since our last meeting some time
ago. I believe that the focal point for the meeting will be a discussion of
possible limitations on shooting times on Sunday afternoon. As I
understand, you will be able to make this meeting. Please contact me if you
have any questions.
Yours ver truly,
Frank Boyles

Dear Mr. re: n;47--,
On behalf of the Plymouth City Council, staff, and City Commission members,
thank you very much for your enlightening session on parliamentary
procedure. As I said at the meeting, I thought that I had a pretty good
command of parliamentary procedure. This course helped me to recognize
areas where I can enhance my abilities as a Chairperson. Based upon the
questions and comments by Commissioners and Commission Chairs, I am
confident that they found the session as useful as I did. I particularly
enjoyed the role playing situation which helped each of us to better
appreciate the hierarchy of parliamentary motions and 'their relationship to
one another. I am confident that our Councilmembers and Commissioners will
use this information to expedite our public meetings in a fashion which will
best serve our citizens.
Once again, thank you for a most informative and enjoyable workshop.
Sincerely,

On behalf of the City Council, thank you for the Plaque of Appreciation
which you presented to us on October 20. It has been our pleasure over the
last few years to have an excellent working relationship with the Plymouth
Women of Today. Our many community clubs and organizations would do well to
follow the lead which your club has taken in developing activities such as
the Plymouth Community Awards Ceremony which has impact on a community -wide
basis. Your ability to foster cooperative working relationships with other
community organizations to sponsor this event, attests to the strength of
your club and it's leadership. I, and the City Council, look forward to
continuing our excellent working relationship with the Plymouth Women of
Today. Thank you once again.
Sincerely, �C'z.•s z�--
