A number of observations are in order:
1. The internal circulator continues to be the strongest component
of the program carrying an average of 55 passengers per day in
April. The average ridership for January was 51, February - 50,
and March - 56.
2. The commuter/ reverse commuter portion of the service averaged
195 persons per day in April. This is somewhat less than
March. Commuter/ reverse commuter averages have been 307 for
January, 292 in February, and 311 in March.
3. Year to date averages are 301 for the commuter/reverse commuter,
53 for the internal circulator and 354 system -wide.
2. FIGURES DON'T LIE -- The Citizens League has Just published its 1985
property tax survey. The survey has an enormous amount of data in
it and will likely be used by people of various points of view to
"prove" something about their view as to the magnitude and tax
burden that they or their constitutents bear. Figures don't lie.
Or do they? The Citizens League study first compares taxes on
$80,000 homes throughout municipalities in the metropolitan area, as
well as some outstate communities. They then take this one step
further by determining the average house selling price in those same
communities. The resulting picture is startling. For example, of
95 communities surveyed in the metropolitan area, St. Paul has the
highest taxes on a $80,000 home. However, the average selling price
of a home in St. Paul is reported at $66,271, which represents 53
from the highest of 95 in the metropolitan area for average property
taxes. What is important from this study is not the mill rate in
any given Jurisdiction, but rather what the people actually pay in
property taxes or at least the "average" property owner. The
$80,000 home in Plymouth ranks 60th in the metropolitan community,
while the average home property taxes are 16th because our "average"
home value is substantially higher than the vast majority of other
communities. The "average" tax burden of a property taxpayer is
therefore substantially higher in Plymouth (ranks 16th) than in St.
Paul (ranks 53rd) or Minneapolis (ranks 64th). Less we forget our
outstate communities, particularly those which are "burdened" with
excessively high mill rates, we find that the average 1985 tax, with
the exception of Duluth, is substantially below that which average
taxpayers in the metropolitan area. If there is a moral to be
gained from this new study, it should be to reenforce our suspicion
of Jumping to conclusions when people use tax data loosely. I am
attaching a copy of the Citizens League study for your information
because I think it's very well done. (I-2)

3. 1985 SPRING CLEAN UP PROGRAM -- Attached is a report provided by our
Community Service Officers regarding this year's neighborhood clean
up efforts. A total of 24 programs have taken place. The City has
provided one dumpster for each program in accordance with the
Council's guidelines. In two programs the homeowners association
elected to also provide an additional dumpster at their own cost.
The Community Service. Officer report shows the location and date of
each spring clean up program. Four additional spring clean up
programs are scheduled. For the weekend of June 1-2, programs will
be take place at 650 Lanewood, 740 Oakview, and 6th Avenue and
Narcissus. On June 8-9 a program will be conducted serving the area
around 15715 - 3rd Avenue. (I-3)
4. PLYMOUTH DOMESTIC ASSAULT INTERVENTION PROGRAM REPORTS -- Attached
are two reports regarding the Plymouth Domestic Assault Intervention
Program. The first report covers the period of March - December
1984. During that time, 45 domestic assault calls were handled
through the program with 30 resulting in arrests, 12 in non -arrests,
and 3 in complaints filed by the Police Department. The first
quarter 1985 report shows that 12 calls occurred during this period,
with 6 involving arrests and 6 non -arrests. Members of Home Free,
who operate the Domestic Assault Intervention Program, have
indicated their availability to make a presentation to the City
Council with respect to the program should the Council desire. (I-4)
5. COMPLAINT REGARDING 15905 COUNTY ROAD 6 (corner of County Road 6 &
Vicksburg Lane) -- Councilmember Neils inquired into the status of a
property located at 15905 County Road 6. The property is abandoned
and boarded up and there is concern that the building may constitute
a dilapidated structure. Vegetation on the property exceeds ordin-
ance maximums. Attached is a memorandum from Joe Ryan stating that
while the building may constitute an eyesore, it is properly secured
from entrance and does not constitute a dilapidated structure under
the law. Therefore, there is no basis for the City to compel
restoration or condemnation at this point. With respect to the
lawn, the 10 day mowing deadline expired on May 28. The City Weed
Inspector has provided our contract cutter with a cutting order.
The lawn will be cut by June 7, weather permitting. (I-5)

7. PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO LEAGUE OF MINNESOTA CITIES CONSTITUTION -- ,At
the dune 13 League of Minnesota Cities Annual Meeting several
proposals for amending the League Constitution will be considered by
the membership. Attached for your review is a memorandum from
League Executive Director Donald Slater together with a copy of the
proposed amendments endorsed by the Minnesota Cities Board of
Directors. The most significant of the amendments involves the
League's dues structure. This proposal would establish a new
three-year dues schedule as part of the constitution. The League
Dues and Services Committee is recommending a 7.5 percent increase
for 1986 and a 6 percent increase for 1987 and 1988. Plymouth's
dues for 1984-85 were $8,499. Under the proposed schedule, our dues
would be as follows: 1985-86 - $9,136, 1986-87 - $9.684, and
1987-88 - $10,265. According to the Dues and Service Committee and
the Board of Directors, these increases are needed to maintain the
minimum necessary funding to maintain the services and activities
which the League membership desires and expects. (I-7)
8. BETTY WALLIN -- Betty Wallin, Engineering Department Secretary,
retired today after 6 1/2 years with the City. A luncheon was held
today in her honor and she was presented with a plaque from the City
for her outstanding service. Betty has been a valued City employee
and will be missed. Attached is a letter from Mayor Davenport to
Betty on her retirement. (I-8)

TO: Metropolitan Area Local Officials ,%�`� ?
A year ago we held a series of meetings with local officials around the region
to hear your concerns about the Metropolitan Council. This year I would like
to once again meet with you to discuss the Council's priorities for 1986 and
the impact that has on the budget. These regional meetings, which have been
held since 1976, are also an excellent opportunity to hear any concerns you
may have about Council -related issues.
My plan is to hold one meeting for each county plus a separate meeting for the
Cities of St. Paul and Minneapolis. We'll meet for a dutch treat breakfast at
7:30 a.m. The Hennepin County meeting will be on Tuesday, June 25 at the Kopper
Kettle Restaurant, 225 Central Avenue in Osseo.
During the year we were able to get the new Regional Transit Board, which was
created by the 1984 Legislature, up and running. We've also made some inroads
in redefining how the region manages its solid waste. Our program is currently
in the Legislature and we'll have more information on that by the time we meet.
For 1986 the Council has set six issues as priorities for 1986. These include:
1) An analysis of whether changes in funding have hurt the ability of local
governments to deliver public services.
2) Enlarging the Council's role as a regional data center.
3) Improving the region's long-term care system for elderly and handicapped
people.
4) Recovering resources from trash instead of burying it in landfills.
5) Improving the Council's metropolitan commission "oversight".
6) Studying the region's long-range needs for public transit.
I look forward to seeing you at the breakfast meetings and getting your
reaction to these priorities. Please R.S.V.P. Rosemarie Johnson at 291-6391.
We've also invited legislators and members of the regional commissions
Metropolitan Waste Control Commission, Regional Transit Board and Metropolitan
arks and Open Space Commission).

Metro home taxes stable; St. Paul highest
Property taxes on typical Twin Cities met-
ropolitan area homes remained stable from
1984 to 1985, according to an analysis by
the Citizens League.
Taxes were up in 41 cities, down in 47 with
no change in one. Year-to-year compari-
sons were not made in six municipalities in
this year's survey of property taxes in 95
area municipalities with population of more
than 2,500.
The median tax in 1985 was $816. or 1.02
percent of selling price, compared with
$833 or 1.04 percent of selling price last
year.

A chart on Pages 4 and 5 of this issue of the
Minnesota Journal shows the estimated tax
on a house in each municipality, along with
mill rates of the major taxing districts:
schools, cities, and counties. For the first
time this year. an additional chart shows
estimated taxes in 23 other Minnesota cities
with population above 10,000.
Taxes on an $80,000 house in those other
Minnesota cities ranged from a high of

In both charts, an estimated tax has been
calculated for a $80,000 -selling -price
homestead for comparison purposes. That
estimated tax figure is shown on the left side
of the page. On the right side, an estimated

house in North Oaks to $421 on a $55,449
house in Belle Plaine. Outside the metro
area, the figures ranged from a high of $759
on a $50,987 house in Duluth to a low of
$199 for a $37,147 home in Hibbing.
All of the taxes are for a residential home-
stead eligible for the homestead credit, the
state's largest property tax relief program.
Through the homestead credit, the state
pays 54 percent of a homeowner's property
taxes up to a maximum of $650. Only the
first $67,000 of taxable value is eligible for
the homestead credit.
Low-income and elderly homeowners are
eligible for additional tax benefits through
the circuit -breaker program. Depending on
income, additional state -paid assistance is
available through that program. The state
also will pay a portion of the property tax bill
for homeowners of low income who have
seen their taxes rise swiftly. Those credits
were not included in the survey, but the
taconite credit, available to certain Iron
Range cities, was included in the survey.
Year-to-year comparisons are not pub-
lished for the six Scott County municipalities
because of unexplainable variations in one
of the statistics used in determining esti-
mated market values.
This property tax survey shows the pro-
gressive nature of Minnesota's property tax.
The effective tax rate on the highly valued
home in North Oaks with a moderate mill
rate of 91.381 was 1.97 percent, more than
triple the effective tax rate of .6 percent for
Spring Lake Township, which had a similar
mill rate of 91.658. The difference is ac-
counted for by the property tax classifica-
tion table and the homestead credit. (See
sidebar for details.)

The purpose of this survey is not to deter-
mine what the taxes are on your house. The
taxes on each home are determined by the
assessor and the various taxing districts.
This survey measures the differences in
taxes among different municipalities and
helps in public understanding of the ta>
system.
WE'RE

How home taxes are calculated
The determination of a the property taxes on
a home involves several steps, described
here.
Determining Assessed Value. The first step
is for the assessor in your community to
determine the value of your home for tax
purposes. The figure assigned to the home
is called its Estimated Market Value. This is
a technical term for what the assessor
thinks your house would sell for in an arm's
length transaction. Because assessing
property is so difficult, assessors are always
off a little bit, and this error rate varies from
community to community. The survey ac-
counts for this by adjusting the $80,000
value for each municipality. The adjusted
figure is shown in the second column in the
chart. This figure is derived from state -col-
lected data on assessment practices in
municipalities. The Department of Revenue
compares actual sales in each municipality
to the value shown on the tax rolls and
computes the ratio between the two. The
actual figure used is the department's me-
dian sales ratio.
Classification Percentages. The portion of
a home's value which is taxable is deter-
mined by law. The Legislature determines
these percentages. Currently, 17 percent of
the first $31,000 of value, 19 percent of the
next $31,000 of value, and 30 percent of the
balance is taxed. So, for a home with an
Estimated Market Value of $70,000, the
classification system works as follows: .17
X $31,000 = $5.270;.19 X $31,000 = $5,890;
.30 X $8,000 =$2,400. So, $5,270+$5,890+
$2,400 = $13,560. This last figure is techni-
cally known as the Assessed Value.
Mill Rates. Now that the value of the house
has been set for tax purposes, it is time to
apply the mill rate, which is the formal rate
of taxation for property. Several taxing dis-
tricts are allowed to levy taxes on property
within their boundaries. The main taxing
districts are the school district, the munici-
pality, and the county. In the metropolitan
area, metropolitan government also levies
property taxes. Hospital districts, fire dis-
tricts, and watershed districts also levy
taxes. Special assessments are also a
common property tax levy, but these as-
sessments are levied against specific
pieces of property as opposed to whole
taxing districts. Special levies are not part of
this survey.
A mill rate is another way of expressing a
percentage. One mill equals one -thou-
sandth or .1 percent. For our sample prop-
erty with an assessed value of $13,560, a
mill rate of 100 mills (100 X .001 = 10 per-
cent) would result in a gross tax of $1,356.
The state commits itself to pay a portion of
the gross tax on homeowners' property. The
payment is 54 percent of the gross bill up to
a maximum of $650. In our example, the
property would receive the maximum credit
of $650, meaning the final tax bill would be
$1,356-$650 = $706.
This Homestead Credit is available only on
the first $67,000 of estimated market value,
meaning that highly valued homes in areas
with low mill rates will not be able to get the
full $650 credit.
The state makes available additional prop-
erty tax assistance. A rebate, called the
Circuit Breaker, is available to people in
certain income categories. An additional
rebate is available to people in certain in-
come categories whose property taxes
have risen quickly.
Iron Range cities get an additional credit
called the Taconite Credit. Many Iron
Range homes get an additional 66 or 57
percent of their property taxes, after Home-
stead Credit, paid out of a special fund. The
Taconite Credit is included in the survey.

MEMO
DATE: May 22, 1985
TO: Joe Ryan, Building Official
FROM: Frank Boyles, Assistant City Manager)
SUBJECT 15905 COUNTY ROAD 6
Councilmember Neils called me recently regarding a complaint she had
received about a property located at 15905 County Road 6. Apparently,
the house is located at the intersection of County Road 6 and Vicks-
burg Lane. It is abandoned and boarded up. Aside from being an
eyesore, there is a concern that the house may constitute a
dilapidated structure. Please have one of your inspectors look at the
property to determine whether the building is hazardous under
Minnesota Statutes. Let me know what you find.

MEMO
DATE: May 29, 1985
TO: Frank Boyles, Asst. City Manager
FROM: Joe Ryan, Building Official Jam.
SUBJECT 15905 County Rd 6
Attached with this memo is a copy of a letter that was sent to Fleet
Mortgage on January 10th, 1985, concerning this property based on a
complaint call I received from a Mr. Tom Finn regarding the rear ser-
vice door which was open and accessible, and fragments of glass which
were scattered along northwest corner of the home.
Fleet Mortgage took the necessary steps to clean up the qlass and to
properly secure the opening of the door.
I informed Mr. Finn that as long as the home was boarded up and se-
cured it could not be constituted as a hazardous structure. I had
also indicated to him that as I understood, the home was in the pro-
cess of being offered in a Sheriff's sale and that within a period of
approximately six months would be owned by either Hud or FHA.
Last week I received an additional call by Mr. Finn who informed me
that the grass on the property has not been cut for quite sometime,
and that the home apparently has not been out on the market for resale.
I do not believe it is necessary for us to conduct an additional in-
spection of the property, since there are no violations which exist
at this time.
I would recommend the weed inspector visit the property to determine
whether or not there is a violation. Secondly, if you would like I
could contact Fleet Mortgage once again to determine the present status
of the home.

Dear Sir:
This letter in regards to the condition of the single family dwelling located at
15905 County Road 6.
Recently a complaint has been filed with our department from a resident with
concern to the exterior appearance of the home.
As a result of the complaint, a site inspection was performed on January 7, 1985
to determine whether any hazards of the property were present.
Our inspection revealed that the rear service door of the home was unboarded and
open, and fragments of glass were scattered along the northwest corner of the
home.
In order to eliminate any such hazard, I am asking for your cooperation to once
again secure all openings to prevent entrance into the home, and to clean up all
debris around the property within fifteen(15) days receipt of this letter.
A re -inspection of this property will be conducted after the time frame indicated
to insure compliance.
Please contact me at 559-2800 should you have any questions or if I may be of any
further assistance.

Chairman Steigerwald opened the Public Hearing.
Larry, Kaatz, 3330 Xenium Lane, inquired about the roadway
and the City's regulation reqarding the distance of right-
of-way from his residence. He was concerned that it was the
required distance from his property line.
Mr. Gabriel stated that the road right-of-way was existant
with the original owner of the land and the 30 ft. right-of-
way was maintained for future roadway. When Mr. Cates pur-
chased the land he sold two and one-half acres and retained
the 30 ft. roadway easement which is filed with Hennepin
County. Coordinator McConn confirmed for Chairman
Steigerwald the right-of-way width and distance to the curb;
further, she reviewed the yard setbacks for the R-2 Zoning
District.
Mr. Kaatz inquired about the elevation stating his house is
on a hill and the property next to him is much lower. He
inquired if there would be a retaining wall on his side.
Chairman Steigerwald explained that the retaining wall would
be built to the City's specifications and the City's Engine-
ering Department would work with the developer to see that
the work is done according to regulations; the retaining
wall is to be within the road right-of-way.
Mr. Gabriel stated they would follow existing grades with a
6 ft. retaining wall on both sides of the roadway. Chairman
Steigerwald inquired where from the Kaatz property the re-
taining wall would be located. Mr. Gabriel confirmed that
the wall would be approximately 18 ft. from the side of the
residence. Mr. Kaatz stated that his neighbors were also
concerned about the grading of Lots 17 - 19, and inquired
about the drainage. Mr. Gabriel stated that all grading
would be accomplished 50 to 60 ft. south of the north plat
boundary.
Chairman Steigerwald closed the Public Hearing.
Chairman Steigerwald inquired about the soils report and
stated his concern about the condition of the soil. Bill
Engelhardt, consultant to the petitioner, stated that at the
time of issuing building permits, the builder should be re-
quired to submit a foundation design that would cover any
problems. However, at this time, he is not aware of the
specific construction details.
Commissioner Wire inquired if the engineers would look at
the soil conditiond in more detail at the time of construc-
tion. City Engineer Goldberg stated that before the build-
ing permit is issued, the builder would have to submit
foundation designs prepared by a registered engineer
Page 113
Planning Commission Minutes
May 22, 1985
and the Building Official will review the detailed plans.
Commissioner Maqnus inquired how the Commission can be
assured that the foundations will be installed properly.
City Engineer Goldberg stated that with the review of
detailed plans, it may be necessary to do more soil borings
and building "footprints" will he reviewed by the
Engineering Department. Coordinator McConn confirmed that
the City has asked for this type of information with
building permit applications for other development such as
in the case of the construction of the bank across from City
Center where areas of poor soils required additional soil
testing.
Coordinator McConn confirmed for Commissioner Plufka that
the rear yard setback is 15 ft. in the R-2 Zoning District.
Commissioner Plufka inquired about Lot 1 and the square
footage for a residence to be built. Mr. Gabriel stated
that the home would be approximately 1200 sq. ft. including
the garage. Commissioner Plufka noted that the size of the
footprint will limit the style of the home.
Commissioner Wire inquired about the selection of lots for
the soil borings, he stated he had visited the site and
wondered why borings were taken only from the lots on the
creek. City Engineer Goldberg stated the soil tests were
done on the lots identified by the City's consultant and it
was confirmed that no problems were found on Lot 9.
MOTION by Commissioner Plufka, seconded by Commissioner
Stulberg to recommend approval for the Preliminary Plat,
Rezoning, Variance, and Conditional Use Permit for Wallace
Cates subject to the conditions as stated in the May 13,
1985 staff report, adding "Lot 13" to those lots that shall
comply with the recommendations of the soils report dated
May 10, 1985.
Roll Call Vote. 6 Ayes. MOTION carried.
Chairman Steigerwald introduced the next Public Hearing
item, and requested that Coordinator McConn give an overview
of the May 13, 1985 staff report.
Chairman Steigerwald introduced Mr. Victor Zeuthen, Archi-
tect, representing the petitioner. Mr. Zeuthen provided the
background for the applications and explained that this dev-
elopment is part of a team effort to provide a development
that will not stress the site. He noted that the 153 units
will be marketed with the age 50+ segment of the population
in mind. He stated they are sensitive to the concerns of

the property owners in the area. They are planning the
parking areas for the interior of the site, ample setbacks
are provided and underground parking for each structure will
have parking stalls in excess of one to one. He displayed a
rendering of the building style noting that the design is
residential quality architecture which feature cedar siding;
shingled roof; balconies (which may be 3 -season); two major
entrances for each structure; and, two-thirds of the units
will have two bedrooms.
Mr. Zeuthen confirmed that the building would be 3 -stories
with gabled roofline. Mr. Zeuthen stated that they are
aware of their responsibility to construct Olive Lane and
they will service the Williams Addition with utilities. He
stated that they may take the option of the City construct-
ing Olive Lane and assessing the developer. He noted they
have tried to meet with the principals of "Red Owl" but they
were unavailable. They feel Red Owl should be assessed for
their portion of the roadway. Chairman Steigerwald stated
that the Citv Council would address this at the time they
consider the application.
Mr. LeRoy Polley, 17720 13th Avenue North, stated he under-
stands this area will be developed, but he wants the devel-
oper to provide buffering and screening for the develop-
ment. Mr. Zeuthen stated they will have plantings rather
than berming; that they do not want to disturb the natural
terrain but will clean out the scrub brush. He stated they
would grade out 50 ft. from the building, but would not dis-
turb the natural vegetation beyond that point.
There was further discussion on just how much natural vege-
tation would remain and it was estimated that approximately
90 ft. would be retained on the south boundary
Mr. Polley noted that when he and his wife visit friends in
an apartment complex with recreational amenities, they hear
excessive noise from the pool and tennis court area. He
inquired whether the City would regulate the hours that
people could use these facilities.
Chairman Steigerwald confirmed there would be no lighting of
the pool or tennis court which would tend to curtail late
evening use. Mr. Polley stated that the amenities he spoke
of had no lighting either, but this did not seem to deter
people from using the facilities late into the evening.

May 22, 1985
Coordinator McConn stated that the Commission, when con-
sidering the Conditional Use Permit could add a condition to
limit the use of the recreational amenities. She noted that
the luminaire plan shows no light spilling out beyond the
pool and tennis courts. Chairman Steigerwald suggested that
they could add a condition to limit the hours.
Mr. Bill Williams, 1325 Peony Lane, stated he had met with
Jack Schuett and that Mr. Schuett understands the concerns
of those who live in the mature residential neighborhoods
that abut this property. He stated that the construction of
tennis courts would be an invasion of their privacy. He in-
quired what landscapinq would be provided around the pool
and the types of plantings proposed. Mr. Zeuthen stated
that mature trees buffer the pool area.
Commissioner Plufka commented that his review of the plan
shows there will be 37 hybrid lilacs (30 inch potted) on the
west side of the pool. Mr. Williams suggested the developer
plant pine trees on that side to give more permanent screen-
ing all year long. He noted that the pool is 57 feet from
his property line and he is concerned about the noise and
his loss of privacy.
Commissioner Plufka stated his concern about the area close
to the pond which could give access to the tenants of the
development, who may be unaware that they are trespassing
onto private property. Mr. Williams stated he agrees with
this concern.
Mr. Zeuthen stated they plan no access to the pond, and he
is aware of what land is privately held. Coordinator McConn
noted that the Site Plan is based on a survey current within
six months so that all boundaries and elevations are as
exist today. She noted that the City's 100 -Year High Water
Elevation is 978 of this pond.
Chairman Steigerwald stated he concurs with Mr. Williams
that the residents may not tresspass on purpose, but the
corner could be used by those seeking access to the pond.
Mr. Zeuthen stated that the plans do not create an
invitation to the residents to trespass onto private land.
He noted that this area is very marshy and not attractive or
inviting to anyone wishing to walk to the pond.
Page 116
Planning Commission Minutes
May 22, 1985
Mr. Williams stated that he had offered to buy this land so
that it would not be used but was told it was not for sale.
He stated that the homeowners around the pond enjoy the
wildlife, they ice skate in winter and swim in the summer.
However, the pond has deteriorated in the last ten years
showing increased weed growth that has been caused by run-
off. He is very concerned that additional parking areas
would drain into the pond, adding more chemicals and oil
residue.
Engineer Goldberg stated that a permit must be granted from
the Watershed District and they would require that most of
the runoff be directed to the storm sewer and catch basins.
He stated there is a tributary to the pond and a filtration
system will be needed to trap the oils and chemicals. Co-
ordinator McConn explained that subsequent to City Council
consideration all necessary permits must be issued and made
part of the record of this development.
Mr. Williams reiterated his concern about the viability of
the pond and read a letter stating the concerns his neigh-
bors, Mr. and Mrs. Noel Davis of Ranier Lane, and was made a
part of these Minutes by reference.
Mr. Dick Williams, 1315 Peony Lane, stated he has the same
concerns and that the residents have had to deal with broken
promises from other developers. He stated that screening
should be provided all the way to 13th Avenue. He stated
the plan shows approximately 37 1/2 sq. ft. of access to the
pond and there should be no access to the pond from this
development. He is concerned about the density, and stated
that 143 units would be preferable to the 153 proposed. He
is also concerned that the building exceeds the height regu-
lation with the gabled roof design.
Mr. Zeuthen stated they have proposed a residential design
for their building and that the roof form helps reduce the
scale of the building. He stated that the flat roof is very
institutional in appearance.
Mr. Glen Swain, 18015 County Road 6, stated his concern
about the quality of Pine Tree Pond, and that he and the
residents are fighting to save it. He built his home 30
years ago and has watched the pond go downhill. He is con-
cerned that the City has not offered to help. He told the
Commission that he has a 1938 survey prepared when his
father-in-law bought his property which does not show the
pond on the subject land. He stated his property adjoins
his father-in-law's property and he is concerned that his
Page 117

Play 22, 1955
father-in-law's property could become "land -locked". He
pointed out both properties on the map. He noted they have
had problems with snomobile's trespassing on their proper-
ty. He summarized his previous law suits with the City in
the past. He stated he wants help from the City; confirming
for Chairman Steigerwald he won his suits.
Mr. Swain reiterated that the City has allowed drainage into
Pine Tree Pond so the City should help clean it up. Chair-
man Steigerwald advised that this should be made known to
the City Council at the time they consider this development
proposal. Mr. Swain stated that it is a good development
plan but he is very concerned about the drainage.
Mr. Kurt Hellberg, 1420 Ranier Lane, stated his property is
south of Mr. Mitchell (Mr. Swain's father-in-law) and
across from the Williams. He stated his concern about the
height of the building and the density; and, that the height
variance should not he granted. Coordinator McConn explain-
ed that in the R-4 Zoning District the height regulation is
a maximum of 35 ft. or 3 -stories. She stated that the
Building Division has reviewed the proposed building plans
and that a height variance is not needed. Mr. Zeuthen
stated he had sought a variance from the height restriction
for the gables. Coordinator McConn reiterated that the
proposed building height is within the 3 -story requirement.
Mr. Hellberg stated he is still concerned about the building
height and would like it reduced, he approves of the design
if they would lower the roof.
Mr. Polley stated he has worked in construction and that the
gables could be lowered a few feet. He stated that relative
to the request for pine trees on the south side of the
property he requests the tree line be extended to screen his
property.
Chairman Steigerwald closed the Public Hearing.
Chairman Steigerwald called a Recess at 9:05 P.M. RECESS
Chairman Steigerwald stated that the Council previously
granted approval for 213 units for this property and this
developer proposes 153 units. He suggested that those who
are concerned about the density make it known to the Council
that they want to see fewer units. He stated that the
points of concern are that tenants of this development may
unknowingly trespass on private property to gain access to
the pond; and, that there be adequate screening of the
development.

Commissioner Plufka suggested that evergreens be installed
at the areas of the pool and tennis courts to provide year

south side of the property as well.

that the Watershed District may require it.

Commissioner Mellen noted that the requirement for chain
link fence may be detrimental to the church property. Com-
missioner Magnus concurred stating that a 6 -ft, fence is too
high and would be an eyesore, he could support a 3 -ft. fence
of different construction.
MOTION by Commissioner Magnus, seconded by Commissioner Wire MOTION TO AMEND
to amend Condition No. 10 to read 3 -ft. fence, on the west
and south sides of the property . . .
Commissioner Plufka asked for a clarification and it was
noted that the fence would be to the 978 elevation on the
west side.
Mr. Zeuthen stated he had no problem with the amendments,
except with the fencing, and inquired what the neighbors
want around the property.
Mr. Bill Williams stated that he would be concerned about a
chain link fence which could restrict the movements of the
wildlife in the area. He suggested split rail or something
showing the intent of delineating the boundary. He also
suggested that pine trees be implemented in this area.
Mr. Polley reiterated that he wants pine trees planted to
shield his property. He concurred that fencing would
restrict the movement of wildlife in the area and he would
like to see trees rather than fencing. Mr. Swain stated he
agrees with planting trees and would not want chain link
fence installed.

amendment, that buffering should be used in the areas of the
most intense use such as the pool and tennis courts, but he
cannot vote in favor of continuing the line of trees.

PRESENT: Paul Steigerwald, Chair, Everett Klosterman, Sohn Fogler, Sandy
Patterson, Karen Musech, Maria Vasiliou, Connie Schroeder, Richard Fudge,
Dave Crain, Eric Blank, Frank Boyles
Paul Steigerwald reviewed the Committee's charge stating that the timing of
the Committee's report on duly 1 is important so that it will integrate with
the 1986-87 budget cycle. He reviewed the agenda packet, commenting upon
the survey of metropolitan area communities and the general lack of
organized communication programs in most cities. The Committee reviewed the
results of the 1985 Decision Resources Ltd. of Minnneapolis community survey
results and discussed their implications on the City's communication
program.
Chair Steigerwald asked members of the committee to provide their reactions
to the agenda packet materials. Connie Schroeder stated that after being a
resident for 18 years, it is sometimes easy to withdraw from the city,
especially if children have left the house. She said one of the major
binding agents in the community is school children since parents tend to be
actively involved in the community during their children's school years.
She also stated that I-494 is both a real and symbolic divider which tends
to separate the community.
Karen Musech stated that she agrees with the fact that people tend to
identify with the Robbinsdale School District or the New Hope -Plymouth
Athletic Association, rather than the City of Plymouth proper. She felt
that this may largely be a result of people's shopping habits taking them
outside of Plymouth for their daily necessities. She believes that Plymouth
on Parade is an excellent tool of communication and that it should continue
to be used with special emphasis on matching narrative to pictures.
Sandy Patterson agreed that schools are the tie-in to the community. From a
realty perspective, it is a "hot" area, but school district problems cause
persons to stay away from Wayzata. Many of the persons coming to Plymouth
do so because it has new housing stock, a younger age population, and a
reputation of a well-planned community.
Sohn Fogler felt that the country atmosphere in the city, combined with
close access to downtown, was a large part of the reason for persons moving
to Plymouth. This frame of reference influences how community residents
view the City as more of a rural town than an urban city. He stated that
the school students were sophisticated enough to be aware of the Wayzata
School District problems.

Everett Klosterman stated that he is only familiar with the west side of
Plymouth and not the east side. He does not relate to the public schools as
his children are in private school.
Paul Steigerwald stated that when he first moved here, he could not under-
stand how the Independent School District boundaries were different from the
municipal boundaries. He was also confused about the newspapers serving
only portions of the community. He has some questions on whether Plymouth
on Parade needs expansion or if other elements are needed in the City's
communication picture.
Maria Vasiliou talked about the importance of neighborhood groups and home-
owner associations. Connie Schroeder suggested that a coordinating council
be established, including the sponsors of important events in the
community. By having a quarterly meeting of this council, an events
calendar could be developed to encourage a community-wide distribution of
information regarding the activities.
Eric Blank stated that earlier this year, such a meeting was held and eight
out of fifteen invited attended. This group will meet again this fall and
has also agreed to meet in early spring to put together a calendar of
events.
Sohn Fogler questioned whether there was any tracking of residents who
attended "Music in Plymouth". Members responded that there were many non-
residents who attend, making tracking more difficult.
Rich Fudge said that as a new resident most of his information came from the
Plymouth Post, the person in charge of crime prevention and Plymouth on
Parade. When he has needed to obtain information from the City--he:--has found
the City to be cooperative.
Paul Steigerwald asked about the history of Plymouth on Parade. Eric Blank
reported that he wanted the City to have one information focal point which
had a consistent format and was unique. He is working to have City depart-
ments sell themselves using the newsletter. There was discussion on
upcoming content in the newsletter.
Sohn Fogler suggested that the City maintain a daily call sheet at the
switchboard. The receptionists would write down comments by area of
interest. By reviewing these comments over a week period, it would be
possible to understand the trends and inquiries, and consequently, where
additional information needs to be provided. This would help to direct the
content of the upcoming Plymouth on Parade newsletters.
Sohn Fogler suggested that, at minimum cost, the City could provide a hot
line using a record -a -phone to provide information to the public on City
activities, events and issues.
Connie Schroeder stated that she felt that the Park and Recreation infor-
mation in the Plymouth on Parade was well handled.

Paul Steigerwald asked committee members to consider what information is
salient. He believes that the development of downtown Plymouth, roads and
the budget are important to residents. Connie Schroeder stated that she
felt that most people didn't find local affairs interesting unless it
affects them directly. Rich Fudge said that it's important for the City to
utilize a concept known as "positioning a product". To do so, it is impor-
tant to ask ourselves what residents should be interested in knowing in
order to be informed citizenry. He suggested that the City should emphasize
a theme of wholeness or complete information to counteract the fragmentation
which is naturally found in the community.
Maria Vasiliou suggested that capsule reports be provided in Plymouth on
Parade on a broad range of subjects. Individuals requesting additional
detail could do so through a pre -specified means. Sandy Patterson felt that
the tax structure question would be important to residents especially since
some seem to believe that taxes in Plymouth are high. Rich Fudge reminded
the committee that what is important to consider is the cost value relation-
ship of information. That is, what is the cost for residents not being
familiar with or misinterpreting information.
John Fogler questioned the staff about the image the City wishes to
project. Frank Boyles outlined the City's current communication efforts and
the emphasis on proactivity of the city organization. He familiarized the
committee with a number of the existing communication devices used by the
city. In addition to Plymouth on Parade, he distributed the information
booklets which are provided to new residents through Welcome Wagon, he
explained the Town Meeting program and efforts to work with local media to
assure that salient information is shared. He reviewed the parking ban
ordinance as an example of the frustration which the City staff feels when
every effort is made to communicate information to the public without a high
degree of success.
Rich Fudge suggested that the City considering adding a liaison person to
stimulate information flow between the City organization and community.
A number of other suggestions were made for enhanced communications. They
included:
- Monthly luncheons with new residents in the community.
- An image piece (i.e. slide/sound production) for use at group
meetings.
- Some form of involvement of community clubs.
- A coffee or cocktail get together with new businesses.
- A video tape production to be used by realtors for new residents in
the community or run on government access channel.
- Consider what the next important community event will be once "Music
in Plymouth" is no longer viable.

Paul Steigerwald asked when it would be appropriate for the next meeting to
take place. The Committee scheduled the next meeting for 7:30 p.m.
Tuesday, June 11, and the final meeting for 7:30 p.m., Tuesday, June 25.
Both meetings will be at Plymouth City Center.
For the next meeting, Paul Steigerwald asked committee members to do the
following:
1. As specifically as possible, define what product the City is
attempting to sell.
2. In light of the answer to number 1, list the most appropriate
vehicles for the City to use to "sell" its product(s).
3. The list of communication vehicles should include the cost impli-
cations of implementing each. Dollar costs should not be the only
consideration, but also consideration of the value added or lost by
providing or not providing each.
Chair Steigerwald stated that he would provide a copy of the minutes of this
meeting together with the draft City mission statement to task force members
to facilitate their efforts in completing this assignment for the June 11
meeting.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:04 p.m.

stated that the City had recently won a Tree City USA award by meeting
four criteria which included having a tree ordinance, spending $1 per
capita on trees for the City, celebrating Arbor Day and havin; a tree
board. When asked who made up the gree board, Steve responded that
the Park and Recreation Advisory Commission was the board.

construction of the Oakwood parking lot had recently been awarded.
Construction will begin when school is out in June.
5. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
a. Parkers Lake Update. A state grant in the amount of $47,000 is expected
to arrive the week of May 13. The federal portion ($90,000) will come

c. Neighborhood Park Improvements/Review Park Plans. Director Blank
displayed the final concept plan for Green Oaks park and briefly
explained it for the Commission and the visitors present who all
live adjacent to this park. Rick Rosen, resiaing at 18715 27th
Avenue, indicated he was generally pleased with the concept plan,
but does have some problems with children trespassing on his property
on their way to and from the park. He stated that his property line
is within eight feet of the proposed improvements, and he would
like PRAC to consider relocating the play equipment, especially
the cable ride. He presented PRAC with a petition signed by
those homeowners who live on the park, requesting that PRAC move
the cable ride to the center of the park. He also stated that the
shelter building attracts teenagers who use it as a place to drink
beer and smoke marijuana.
PRAC Minutes of May 9, 1985
Page 16
S, LPC-,
Tom Rakos, residing at 18725 27th Avenue, stated that broken glass is
often found in the play equipment area, and that motorcycles frequently
use the bike path. His property line is approximately 62 feet from the
proposed location of the cable ride, and he is apprehensive about the
additional noise it will create.
Kent Carlson, residing at 18705 27th Avenue, is mainly concerned about
the location of the cable ride and the additional noise it will create.
He has a privacy fence across his backyard, but the proposed cable ride
is higher than his fence. He would like PRAC to eliminate ride
completely and use savings to buy shrubs and plants which could act
as a buffer.
Additional comments were made by the residents including the statement
that a professional appraiser had informed the homeowners adjacent to
Green Oaks park that their property values could be reduced by 10-15%
because of the cable ride.
A MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER THREINEN AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER
EDWARDS TO REMOVE THE CABLE RIDE AND STUDY RELOCATING IT AT A LATER
DATE, TO RELOCATE THE SPRINGED ANIMALS AND DIGGERS, BUT TO KEEP THE
PLAY EQUIPMENT IN ITS GENERAL PROPOSED LOCATION. The motion carried
with all ayes.
Director Blank then displayed the plans for Circle Park and pointed
out the existing components and the proposed improvements. There
were no citizen comments on this proposed plan.
Director Blank announced that he had recently met with the residents
of Cimarron Ponds once again to see if they would be willing to support
a park on the Luce Line trail if it was moved 100 feet further south
than originally proposed. They did not agree to that idea. The DNR
is willing to consider leasing other land along the Luce Line to the
City, but Director Blank feels that the Cimarron Ponds residents will
never agree to any park regardless of where it is located. It was
decided to postpone any plans for a Luce Line park indefinitely, or
until we hear from the group that supports a park in this location.
A MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER REED AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER
EDWARDS TO APPROVE THE EXPENDITURE OF $37,786 FOR THE PROPOSED
IMPROVEMENTS TO CIRCLE PARK. The motion carried with all ayes.
d. St. Mary's Land Update. Director Blank has been unable to meet with
Phil Johnson due to scheduling conflicts for Mr. Johnson.
e. Imperial Hills Park Update. Director Blank stated that some of the
trees surrounding this park are being moved to allow for a better view
of the park by adjacent residents. He announced that Jelle DeBoef had
informed him that the Imperial Hills HOA was willing to pay 50% of
the cost to install soccer goals.
f. Joint Meeting with Maple Grove Park Commission. This meeting will
be held in Maple Grove on May 16 at 7:30 p.m. Agenda items include
the Hennepin County Regional Trail and problems encountered by
northern Plymouth residents registering for programs offered by
Maple Grove.

6. NEW BUSINESS
a. 1986-1990 CIP Timetable.
Loc—,
PRAC will be discussing the parks component of
the 1986-1990 CIP beginning in June.
b. Review Results of Community Attitude Survey. Commissioner Chesebrough
briefly reviewed the results of the Community Attitude Survey, focusing
on the questions regarding the community center. Results indicated
that respondents were fairly evenly split on their opinion of building
a community center, with 45% favoring it and 42% opposing it. A
further breakdown showed that the group most likely to favor it
included blue collar workers, transients, women, and renters. Those
opposing it tended to be professional/technical people, the wealthy,
older residents and retirees. A significant number of senior citizens
opposed the senior center. Dr. Morris, who conducted the survey,
indicated to Director Blank that he could prepare a 20 -question
survey specifically dealing with the community center that could be
conducted this year to help PRAC in their future discussions on this
project. This idea will be discussed at the June meeting, and Maria
Vasiliou will be invited to attend.
C. Schmidt Lake Landscaping. Director Blank stated that he had received
a petition from residents near Schmidt Lake neighborhood park requesting
the sodding/seeding of the area along 50th Avenue, which has become
overgrown with weeds and tends to be a dumping grounds. An outside
contractor could be hired to do this work for $3,975. A MOTION WAS
MADE BY COMMISSIONER EDWARDS AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER CHESEBROUGH
TO APPROVE THE EXPENDITURE OF $3,975 TO SOD AND/OR SEED THE AREA ALONG
50th AVENUE NEAR SCHMIDT LAKE NEIGHBORHOOD PARK. The motion carried
with all ayes.
d. Swan Lake Plat. The park proposed within this plat is approximately
11 acres in size and is currently shown as having houses bordering it.
Our comprehensive plan indicates that at least two sides should be
left open to the road, which is how Director Blank would prefer to
see it approved. The Planning Commission needs PRAC's recommendation
as soon as possible. A MOTION WAS MADE BY CHAIR THREINEN AND SECONDED
BY COMMISSIONER BEACH TO APPROVE DIRECTOR BLANK'S RECOMMENDATION AND
TO FORWARD THESE RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION AS SOON
AS POSSIBLE. The motion carried with all ayes.
e. Request for Park in Area Bounded by I-494, County Roads 15 and 61.
Mayor Davenport has sent a written response to these residents
indicating that the City has no plans to build a park in their
area at this time.
f. Public Relations. Director Blank indicated that Ruth Brown,
recreation specialist, had been successful in soliciting funds from
merchants in the Plymouth Shopping Center for the operation of our
puppet wagon this year. He also stated that our waterpolo program
was shown on KSTP's Good Company program, and that our adult softball
league was receiving media attention due to the recent dedication of
our police league to Officer John Scanlon from Robbinsdale who died
in the line of duty earlier this year. Also, WTCN Channel 11 has
a softball team in our Wednesday Men's Recreational Class C League,
which occasionally affords some media attention.

FROM: Donald A. Slater, Executive Director
RE: Proposed Amendments to the League of Minnesota Cities Constitution
Enclosed is the package of proposed constitutional amendments endorsed by the
League of Minnesota Cities Board of Directors for your review.
On May 16, the LMC Board of Directors unanimously approved a package of proposed
constitutional amendments for consideration at the annual meeting on June 13,
during the LMC 1985 Annual Conference. In keeping with the practice of prior
years, I am happy to transmit these amendments to you so that city officials may
be aware of amendments well before the annual meeting.
The most important of the amendments involves the dues structure, establishing a
new three-year dues schedule as part of the constitution. Those city officials
who attended LMC's annual meeting in Duluth in 1984 will recall that the 1984
Dues and Services Committee proposed that the LMC Board of Directors be charged
with setting the dues, beginning in 1985. The membership rejected this
proposal.
As a result, the Dues and Services Committee was called back into session to
develop a recommendation concerning the dues schedule. That committee
recommended a three-year schedule involving a 7.5 percent increase for 1986 and
a six percent increase for 1987 and 1988.
The Dues and Services Committee concluded, and the Board of Directors agreed,
that these increases would be the minimum necessary funding for the League to
maintain the quality and quantity of services which the membership desires and
expects. The Committee understood that the proposed increase exceeds the
current rate of inflation, but reviewed the fact that the League's budget is not
100 percent financed by dues income; and that a 7.5 percent dues increase is
necessary to produce a five percent overall funding addition.
Secondly, the League must purchase a number of services and goods (for example
postage and printing supplies), which exceed the current inflation rate.
Finally, the Board has devoted additional resources to certain activities in
response to member service demand, particularly, regional meetings and
computerization.

May 24, 1985
In the course of the 1984 debate on the dues proposal, some other issues were
identified. These included the fact that, should the membership reject a future
proposal dues adjustment, the LMC would have no applicable dues schedule. Other
concerns emerged concerning the lack of a more complete ability to offer
alternatives and amendments to constitutional amendments under consideration at
the annual meeting.
LMC convened a Constitutional Committee to consider these problems. The
committee recommended amendments which would 1) leave the last adopted dues
schedule in effect should the members reject the proposed adjustment; 2) provide
for a limited process to amend proposed constitutional amendment during the
annual meeting; 3) clarified that the annual meeting could adopt special rules;
and 4) produced a comprehensive technical amendment which would make the
constitutional gender neutral.
If you have questions or concerns regarding these amendments, please feel free
to contact Stan Peskar or me at the League office.

Dear Mr. Sankey:
E CITY OF
PLYMOUTFF
Mayor Davenport has forwarded your resident feedback form to me for review and
comment.
As you are aware, our current plan calls for the extension of Class I trail
along Vicksburg Lane up to the intersection of Vicksburg and old County Road
9. At that point, a Class I trail veers off to the east around Turtle Lake
and heads toward the new Amhurst neighborhood park site. It is my anticipa-
tion that as the City Council and Park and Recreation Advisory Commission
review and update the Comprehensive Park and Trail System Plan every two
to three years, a trail along Vicksburg Lane would most likely be extended
from County Road 9 to County Road 47 as a Class I off-road trail at some
time in the future.
I will share your resident feedback form with the Park and Recreation Advisory
Commission at their June meeting. I would encourage you and other neighbors
in that part of town who are interested in the development of our trail system
to continue to voice this concern either in person or by writing to me,
the Park and Recreation Advisory Commission and City Council members.
Thank you for your time and interest in this matter.
Sincerely,
Eric J. Blank, Director
Parks and Recreation

Mayor Davenport has forwarded your resident feedback form to me for review
and comment.
As we have discussed on the telephone previously, I am in total support of
your idea to preserve this major woods along Interstate 494.
Our current comprehensive plan (which I have enclosed) does show the location
of a neighborhood park in this geographic area which would be able to preserve
approximately five to seven areas of a park site. The location of this
proposed neighborhood park is not geographically fixed exactly to one
parcel of property at this time. The siting of proposed parks is dictated
by development as it takes place in future years.
I would be happy to meet with you sometime this summmer to walk over the
property and take a look at it so that we can decide if, and how, the City
can help you in your efforts to preserve this area.
Thank you for your interest in this matter. I look forward to talking with
you in the future.
Sincerely,
�J /r

A few weeks ago, I informed you of President Reagan's Citation Program for Private
Sector Initiatives. I was only able to select one award recipient, although all the
candidates were well-qualified. I would like to share with you the winner and
runner-up organization in the Third District.
The Edina Federated Women's Club was selected to receive the Citation Program
"C -Flag". The Club is primarily a service organization, comprised of volunteers,
which is active in Edina and surrounding areas. In its 15 year history, the Club has
donated over $100,000 to philanthropies. Its major annual project is the transformation
of the Breamar Golf Club into the home of Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus during December.
This beautifully decorated house is open to the public for a nominal charge, and all
proceeds go to charity.
Runner-up recognition goes to the Rotary Club of Chaska, for their work in moving
and renovating an old one -room schoolhouse into an "experience museum" for the
Chaska Elementary School children. Neighbors, Inc., in Dakota County, receives
Honorable Mention. This organization operates out of churches, using primarily
senior citizen volunteers. The Seniors provide personal services for the needy,
and at the same time keep busy doing worthwhile activities.
These are a few of the groups that are doing valuable service in our area. The re-
view committee had a difficult time choosing just one organization, and would like to
have been able to award all the nominations. Because we can only choose one group,
the Edina Federated Women's Club will fly the "C -Flag" as a symbol of the private
voluntary efforts of all the people in the Third District.
I hope to continue the Citation Program in the future. I would appreciate it if you
would keep the Program in mind, and continue to watch for worthy nominations for
next year.

Dear Mr. Ford:
Y'
CITY O'
PVMOUT�i
The Supreme Court's recent decision in Garcia vs. San Antonio Metropolitan
Transit Authority presents some serious problems for the City of Plvmouth.
We request that you support proposed legislation that would repeal the 1974
Amendment to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) as it applies to state and
local governments. We believe such legislation is essential for local
governments. If this course of action is not possible we believe FLSA
should be amended as to its application to local government so as to provide
some flexibility for key government operations, such as Fire and Police. At
the very least, we ask that you support legislation that will give us the
necessary breathing space to assess the financial impact FLSA, as amended,
will have on our City's operations.
It should be noted that our operations which will be affected are: Police,
Fire, Public Safety Administration, employees on flex -time (an extremely
well -liked and used program by our employees), and seasonal employees.
Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.
Sincerely,
aures G. Willis

Dear Mr. Willis:
This is in response to your letter of May 14 concerning the effect
of the recent decision by the U. S. Supreme Court in Garcia v.
San Antonio Metropolitan Transit Authority et al. (SAMTA.) , 53 LVI
4135 (Feb. 19, 1985) , on the application of the Fair Labor
Standards Act (FLSA) to State and local government employees.
You ask the Department of Labor (the Department) to support
legislation to amend the FLSA to provide some flexibility for key
local government operations, such as Fire and Police.
The ruling by the Supreme Court in SAIA and the enforcement
policy to be followed by the Department in applying FLSA to State
and local governments are under review. Following consultation
with appropriate representatives of various interest groups,
including the U.S. Conference of Mayors, public employers will be
given general notification of this policy.
Thank you for providing us with your comments on this matter. You
may be assured 'chat your views and concerns on this important
issue are appreciated.
Sincerely,
( ��,':�
