(I-1) 2. HAMMER RESIDENCES -- Thursday morning, Councilmember Crain and I attended a breakfast meeting at the Hammer Residences located at 1909 E. Wayzata Blvd. in Wayzata. The purpose of the meeting was to acquaint various community leaders with the program provided by the Hammer Residences, as well as to inform us of their future plans to decentralize their facilities. The Hammer program serves 79 individuals with mental retardation or other developmental disabilities. At the current time, all but six of these individuals are served from the Hammer Residences campus on Wayzata Blvd. During the next two to three years, they contemplate moving further out into the community with their program. They contemplate establishing programs for small groups of residents, not to exceed four per dwelling unit, in the various communities in the western suburban area. This could include Plymouth. Such facilities under current State law, do not require local govern- mental approval and may therefore, be located within any residential district. Councilmember Crain did note that local community acceptance could be fostered, if when locating in a given residen- tial neighborhood, they first met with the neighbors so as to reduce the possibility of fear on the part of the neighbors. Attached for your information are materials which were distributed to us at the meeting dealing with the mission of the Hammer Residences Inc. 3. MINUTES a.

WATER TOWER PAINTING -- Fred Moore and the consulting engineer met with the contractor today to discuss the progress made on the painting of the M.I.P. water tower. During the past week the contractor did not accomplish any work because of the cold temperatures. Based on the meeting today, Fred indicates the contractor will not be completing any additional painting on the interior or exterior of the tank this year. The work will need to be completed next spring. Beginning today, and completing the work tomorrow, the contractor is to complete the cleaning and disinfection of the interior of the tank. This will allow us to begin filling the tank on Saturday and Sunday. The tank will not be placed back in service until the necessary laboratory tests have been performed on the water to insure that it meets drinking water standards. These tests will be performed on Monday or Tuesday. The tank will then be placed into service. Fred will be meeting with the City Attorney, Jim Thomson, during the next week to prepare a recommendation on action with regard to the contract. A determination needs to be made of whether the contractor will be granted a time extension, and also whether the City should terminate the contact at this time. 6.

The request submitted by Sign Consultants, Inc. for Vantage Companies was introduced for a variance from the maximum area requirements for directional signage at 13895 Industrial Park Blvd. Linda Fitch of Sign Consultants, Inc. reviewed the addressing of this site and the building location of the specific building that the signage will be used. This building is not visible from Industrial Park Blvd. She went on to state the tenant names were being located on the sign, along with the building addresses so people driving by would be aware of who was located within that building. Discussion with Ms. Fitch included the location of the median cuts in Industrial Park Blvd., people traveling west on Industrial Park Blvd. would not be able to enter the site at this access point without making a U-turn at the end of Industrial Park Blvd. Ms. Fitch commented that Vantage Companies was working with the City to relocate the median cut in Industrial Park Blvd., access this site. The Board discussed that Vantaae Companies constructed these buildings and created their own problem by the building locations. -z- 3b MOTION TO APPROVE MINUTES OF SEPT.16, 1986 SIGN CONSULTANTS, INC. FOR VANTAGE COMPANIES 13895 INDUSTRIAL PARK BLVD. FOR MAXIMUM AREA FOR DIRECTIONAL SIGN Page two Board of Zoning Minutes October 21, 1986 The size of the pylon signs that are located on this site were identified and the possibility of other directional signage for the other buildings was considered, The Board inquired why the tenant names would be located on this sign, since none of the other buildings would have them. Ms. Fitch stated that since you could not see this building from any of the roads the tenants needed to be identified from the perimeters. She stated they were in process of placing tenant signage on the end of buildings so identification could be made from the adjacent streets. The Board asked if this proposal was a way to increase the income potential of the property. Ms. Fitch stated it was a way to try and keep the buildings occupied, more so than the potential income. The Board discussed difficulty in understanding that vacancies of the building is due to visibility, versus the possibility of high rent rates. The staff recommendation was discussed for this application, noting support of the request with the exception of the tenant identification. Ms. Fitch commented they had looked at that possibility, but did not like it and still wished to have the tenant names on the sign. The Board considered deferrinq their decision until after the scheduled joint meeting with the Planning Commission so as to have an opportunity to discuss this situation with them. There is a potential for other such requests within the City, due to how the buildings are placed on the property.

Senior Community Services develops services that help meet the needs of senior citizens, with special attention to the low income people in the population. LONG RANGE GOALS To foster independence, personal growth and community involvement of senior citizens. To increase public awareness of the abilities of the elderly despite any physical, social, or financial limitations. To improve services and service delivery by coordinating with other agencies and services to fill gaps and avoid duplication of effort. SERVICE AREA The service area of Senior Community Services corresponds to the United Way area (with the exclusion of Minneapolis) which includes suburban Hennepin County, the southern half of Anoka County, part of Carver and Dakota Counties. LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT 1985 was especially challenging for SCS as for the first time in our 33 -year history we faced serious economic problems. Our insurance costs went from $4,000 to over $16,000. The Senior Employment Program realized three very large bad debts. These two problems plus an ill-fated attempt to add a computerized word processing service to our Employment Program caused us in September to face a potential $87,000 shortfall. The Board and Administration took swift and strong action to improve the economic situation. Loren Cole, a consultant, was brought in and he recommended a restructuring of the Employment Program. A plan and time line were drawn up by Administration and adopted by the Board that included belt tightening and fund raising. The Board and Administration met every Monday morning during the fall for reporting and monitoring. It pleases me greatly to report that the effort was successful. We ended 1985 $482 in the black. SCS received more corporate, individual and foundation gifts in 1985 than ever before. This was the result of our targeted campaign that drew heavily upon the time and commitments of the Board. Our relationship with United Way continues to be a good one. As President I had the privilege to meet several times during the allocation process with United Way volunteers. The time and effort spent by both United Way volunteers and volunteers on the SCS Board make the allocation process very meaningful. Excellent stewardship of the community's donated funds is occuring. The Board and staff held a joint retreat and worked on the agency's long range plan. We have found that good organizational planning has enabled us to sharpen our focus and take advantage of new opportunities. We obtained our first Hennepin County contract in 1985 (effective in 1986). The contract is for our Counseling, Case Management and Outreach Program. The suburban elderly population is exploding and this program is targeted at the neediest of the elderly. SCS also opened a northwest area branch office for this program, bringing us one step closer to our long range plan of serving our entire suburban service area equally. We were successful in diversifying the funding base for the Southshore Senior Center from a single federal grant, that was expiring, to contracts with six supporting cities. I had the privilege of attending several staff meetings during my term as President. The experience enabled me to have an even better understanding and appreciation of the important work being done by SCS. I was impressed with their commitment and dedication. 1985 was a challenging year for SCS. The Board of Directors, staff and over 600 volunteers all contributed heavily to making it a successful year. I thank them all for their support during my term as President. Robert A. Engebretsen President 3 LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Short term economic problems experienced in 1985 have had little impact on our future direction or services. The restructuring of the Employment Program in September enabled us to return to being financially sound. The growth of the suburban elderly population \\ continues to be faster than any other age group.\ There are now more older people than children under the age of 18. The suburban elderly now outnumber x those living in the city. Although the income level of the over 65 population as a whole improved during"" the past 15 years, the 85+ group remains predominantly poor and widows. These older women are new to the ranks of poverty, forced there by the extended medical and nursing home costs. One out of every seven elderly lives below poverty. SCS continues to look toward the future and is finding innovative ways of meeting the challenges and opportunities caused by the tremendous older population growth. In 1950 over 95% of the over 55 population remained in the labor force. Today over 70% of all employees retire before 65. We can expect to spend 1/3 of our life in retirement. Most people do not earn enough to sustain them through retirement, especially with impoverishing medical and nursing home bills. SCS serves the frail elderly, helping them maximize all resources available to stay out of nursing homes. If only two individuals are kept out of a nursing home, our effort pays for itself. In 1985 80% of our 365 nursing home eligible clients remained at home. Our Employment Program provides real, unsubsidized jobs for elderly needing work. We contract with several corporations to do light assembly, custom collating, etc... jobs that require a high degree of accuracy and skill. SCS manages four Multi-purpose Senior Centers. All are operated cooperatively with local government. The numbers of elderly receiving a meal, tax aide, transportation, health screening or any of dozens of other services have been dramatically increasing. Volunteers continue to play a major role in provision of service. SCS conducted training for our volunteer drivers, receptionists, peer counselors, friendly visitors, advisory committee leaders and others. There were over 600 active volunteers in 1985. The SCS staff is a mature, experienced and highly skilled group of individuals. We were delighted to have Steve Pieh return to the Minnetonka Center. Jack Wieczorek joined us bringing an extensive background in aging and non-profit management. Bev Abbott, a talented former public health nurse, joined our in-home Counseling, Case Management and Outreach staff. The challenges of 1985 proved the depth of the experience and commitment of Board, staff and volunteers. SCS enters 1986 organizationally strong and vigorous, ready to meet and make the future.

Senior Outreach staff, visiting seniors in their own homes, help them identify what they need to remain independent such as transportation, medical care, insurance, housing alternatives, financial assistance, and in-home nursing, homemaker, and home maintenance services. Staff then help seniors make arrangements for the appropriate services. Staff as well as many volunteer peer counselors and friendly visitors provide on-going support as seniors undergo life changes. Counseling on depression, grief, and life adjustments, support groups for seniors or their families, educational sessions, and individual information and referral are also provided. Senior Outreach satellite offices are located in Orono, Hopkins, Robbinsdale, and Bloomington. Call 933-9311 for referrals or more information. C SENIOR CENTERS z�0 Senior Community Services manages four senior centers. These centers are focal points for a wide variety of services. These include: health screenings, physical exercise classes, counseling groups, drop-in days, hot meals, classes, tranportation, insurance information and tax assistance.

They come from all walks of life, all ages, and all skill levels. Without their time lovingly given, we could not offer the services we do. Corporations within the community also support our programs whether it's funding, helping to put seniors to work, or loaning company executives to the program for a few hours each week. Some of the 600 plus volunteers have stated: "I believe in what they're doing. And, as a `senior citizen' myself, helping other seniors gives me a way to contribute to my community" "Volunteering avoids loneliness and keeps one active in mind and body" Each year a volunteer recognition is held to show SCS's appreciation for the valuable work all the volunteers do.

The neighbors concurred that since the Gun Club has re -oriented it's shooting, that no over -spray has occurred at their households. They are pleased with the results of these actions that were taken some three years ago. Their concerns in this meeting are first, that the sound level associated with each shot appears to be louder than in the past and that they -would like Sundays reserved as a quiet time in order that they can enjoy this day at home with their families. Gun Club members indicated that current hours for the club are Wednesday, 12:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., Thursday, 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., Sunday, 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., one Saturday in August, and two in September. The Sunday hours are open to the public. All shooting authorized by the Club is restricted to target loads only. There has been no change in load, vegetation, location of shooting or other factors which account for the increase in the loudness of each shot. Gun Club members indicated that they must balance weekday hours as well as offer weekend hours for their constituents. Their primary money generator is in their open shooting on Sunday. Neighbors and Gun Club representatives concurred on the following points to resolve their mutual concerns: 1. In addition to it's weekday schedule, the Gun Club will substitute Saturday shooting from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. in lieu of it's current Sunday shooting schedule. 2. The new schedule will be effective next season. Gun Club members anticipate that two more Sunday shoots will occur this year. 3. Neighbors agreed to call the Police Department if they hear any shooting other than on Wednesday from 12:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., Thursday from 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. or Saturday from 11:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. NOVEMBER 5 MEETING TO RESOLVE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE PLYMOUTH GUN CLUB AND NEIGHBORING RESIDENTS Page Two 4. Plymouth officials will place an article in the Plymouth On Parade newsletter reminding the public of shooting restrictions in the community. 5. City representatives will put together and distribute a list of neighborhood and Gun Club representatives present at this meeting in order that contact can be made directly as a first effort to resolve problems. 6.

Sheldon 2705 Sycamore Lane Plymouth, Minnesota 55441 Dear Mr. Sheldon: I have reviewed your comments made on the Resident Feedback Form you submitted at the October 14th Town Meeting. I have looked at the intersection of Campus Drive and County Road 61 (Northwest Boulevard) and agree there is a sight obstruction problem. Because of the landscaping and berm, which has been constructed in the center median on either side of the intersection, vehicles on the opposite side are obstructed from view. This landscaping was installed by the Prudential Insurance Company as part of the development of the Northwest Business Campus, and I have notified them of this hazardous condition. I have also requested that they modify the landscaping in order to provide the adequate sight clearance at the intersection. You also asked a question about whether traffic signals are planned at Campus Drive and Northwest Boulevard. In order for traffic signals to be installed at any intersection, they must meet the criteria as set forth in the "Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices". When an intersection is analyzed for the need for traffic signals, there is criteria contained within this manual on whether the signals are justified or warranted. Unless traffic conditions meet the criteria as set forth, the signals cannot be installed. At the present time, although there may be a delay in getting from Campus Drive onto Northwest Boulevard at short periods of time during the morning and evening rush hour traffic, generally there are no problems at other times of the day. In order to meet the criteria to install a traffic signal it must be needed for more than short time periods. At the present time traffic signals are not warranted at this intersection. Traffic is counted and monitored on an annual basis and if at some time in the future the traffic volumes increase to a point where a traffic signal is warranted, the City of Plymouth would request that the Hennepin County Department of Transportation install this traffic signal. County Road 61 is under the jurisdiction of the County and the signal must be installed by them with their authorization. If there are any question with regard to criteria for traffic signals, please contact me. Sincerely, Fred G. Moore, P.E. Director of Public Works FGM:kh cc: Frank Boyles Wayne Matsumoto - Henn. Co.

You were lights be installed along Evergreen Lane, from West 18th Avenue. Z 10C-4�. I - the October 14th Town requesting that street Medicine Lake Drive to Within the City of Plymouth street lights along residential streets, such as Evergreen Lane, are paid for by the property owners along the street. The street lights are installed for the City by Northern States Power Company and we pay a monthly fee to cover the energy and operating cost for these lights. Property owners in the area which receive the benefit from street lights are then billed by the City on a monthly basis. Each street light costs approximately $150 per year for operation and maintenance. If you or other property owners in your area are requesting street lights, a petition should be submitted to the City requesting these lights. For your use I am attaching a standard petition form. If the petition is not signed by 100% of the property owners, it would then require a public hearing before a decision could be made by the City Council to install the street lights. It is the normal City Council policy that if 80% of the property owners are not in favor of street lights, they will not be installed. Until a determination is made of the number of street lights that would be installed, I cannot give you a definite cost per property at this time. In reviewing the area, I would estimate that the cost per household would be between $2 and $3 per month. For your use in circulating a petition to request street lights, I am also attaching a map of the area. I have indicated on this map the area which would be benefitted from the street lights if they were installed the entire length of Evergreen Lane. If there are any questions with regard to the installation of street lights, or the petition process for these lights, please contact me. Sincerely, Fred G. Moore, P.E.

The Public Safety Department should perform a radar patrol near Christ Memorial Church on Highway 61 northbound to control speeding in the area. 2. Attached is a memorandum from Fred Moore dated October 17, 1986 which the Council discussed at the October 20 meeting. The memorandum cites the results of a speed study conducted by the Minnesota Department of Transportation on County Road 6 from Highway 55 to our western City limits. Fred's memorandum concludes by suggesting that the Plymouth Public Safety Department may wish to initiate select radar enforcement on County Road 6 in the area around Troy Lane where the posted speed limit is 50 mph. In this area, only 42% of the eastbound traffic is travellina within the posted speed limit and 69% of the westbound traffic is within speed limits. The Council endorsed Fred's recommendation. Dick, could we complete these assignments without the use of overtime? I will share your written report of the results of each activity with the Council. FB:dma cc: dames G.

Willis, City Manager FROM: Fred G. Moore, Director of Public Works SUBJECT: Speed Study on County Road 6 AE7 In November, 1985 as part of the request by the City Council to the Hennepin County Department of Transportation to study the County Road 6/Fernbrook Lane Intersection for the need for a traffic signal; the City also requested the County to have the Commissioner of Transportation conduct a Speed Limit Study on County Road 6 from Highway 55 to our West City limits. This request was made by the County to the Minnesota Department of Transportation, the agency responsible for conducting speed studies. Attached herewith is a letter from the Minnesota Department of Transportation with regard to the Speed Study they conducted on County Road 6. Their conclusion is that the existing posted speed limits are correc"t. Speed limits are established at the speed for which approximately 85% of the vehicles are traveling. Road conditions are also taken into account when establishing speed limits. The results of the study were as follows: Existing Speed Speed Speed Westbound Eastbound Location Limit Vehicles Vehicles Troy Lane 50 53 57 Fountain Lane 45 47 46 Archer Lane 45 43 44 Parkers Lake 45 47 47 Juneau Lane 45 42 42 Fernbrook Lane 45 45 41 Annapolis Lane 45 42 42 Water Tower Circle 45 44 47 Memo: James G.
