LEAGUE OF MINNESOTA CITIES ANNUAL CONFERENCE -- Reminder - Tuesday, June 11 - Friday, June 14 at the Radisson t. Paul Hotel. FOR YOUR INFORMATION.... 1. 1985 STATE TAX BILL -- The House and Senate Tax Committee conferees are still working out the details of the 1985 and 1986 tax bill. One item which appears to be resolved has to do with local govern- ment aids. Pat Neils, following a meeting at the Metropolitan Council last week, was informed that the 1986 LGA allocation for Plymouth is expected to go up 12% from $346,121 to $387,656. Minneapolis would go up 2%, from $58,040,873 to $59,186,387. 3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD. PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447. TELEPHONE (612) 559-2800 CITY COUNCIL June 7, 1985 Page 2 INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM In a related matter, in the same bill is a proposal to excise Minneapolis from the Hennepin County Park Reserve District. If this feature is included it would have the effect of removing the Park District from the budgetary oversight of the Hennepin County Board of Commissioners. It would further provide for elected represen- tatives from suburban Hennepin County. Finally, it would provide that the Park District would have its own levying capacity of between 1.2 and 1.5 mills. The current levy is approximately .71 mills with a statutory maximum of 1 mill, but is controlled through Hennepin County and, of course, includes the Minneapolis tax base. The Hennepin County Board of Commissioners are apparently in opposition of this proposal and its fate is still unknown. Whether or not this aspect of the bill survives or indeed the conference agrees finally on the LGA formula noted above, remains to be seen. As they say, "It ain't over till it's over". 2. METROPOLITAN COUNCIL - PROPOSED REVISIONS TO DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK -- The Metropolitan Council is revising its development framework as part of its updating of the overall Metropolitan Development Guide. Key components of this update involve revised population, household, and employment forecasts. The table below indicates the changes proposed by the Metropolitan Council as compared to those in the City's current Comprehensive Plan. The first, line of the table represents data from the present City Comprehensive Plan, and the second line indicates data provided to us for review and comment by the Metropolitan Council. It is this data which they are anticipating using as they update their development framework. 1970 1980 1990 2000 Population 18,077 31,615 43,500 54,000 -- -- 48,000 57,000 Households 4,507 10,100 15,500 19,000 4,645 10,491 17,000 21,000 Employment 6,587 15,000 21,000 26,000 20,000 34,000 45,000 It is obvious, with the substantial increases in both population and employment, that the Metropolitan Council anticipates substantial development to occur in Plymouth beyond that which was forecasted five years ago. From our perspective, this is sound as we had previously indicated to them that our growth expectations exceeded those which they had anticipated for us. These new data also provide us the opportunity to seek additional sewer flow allocation to meet the projected needs which, in turn, will, or should, have a positive bearing on our ability to have the present City Urban Service Area (CUSA) revised. --i l wurv%_1L jLnr Vnm 1 1V14AL RLMUKANUUM June 7, 1985 Page 3 3. ELM CREEK DRAINAGE PROBLEMS -- Last week the Council received calls from Howard Hunt regarding his continuing concern about the lack of adequate drainage in certain portions of Elm Creek north of his property. On Tuesday morning, Fred and I reviewed the area, which according to the engineers for the Elm Creek Conservation Commission, required some digging out. The water was flowing through this area at a depth of about 12 to 18 inches, but according to the consulting engineer, it is in this area where most of the problems exist for Howard and his neighbors. Both Fred and I contacted the Engineer and City Administrator for Maple Grove, asking that they have the area cleaned out as soon as possible, particularly since we thought this work was to have been accomplished last winter. The City Engineer from Maple Grove, Gerry Butcher, informed Fred that they would have personnel out there by Thursday. Fred checked the site yesterday (Thursday) and there were some workers who were in the process of digging out and deepening a portion of the drainage area. They also removed several trees which were viewed as impeding the flow of water. According to Gerry Butcher, he expects the work to be completed by the end of today. Whether or not this effort will, in fact, produce any results will remain to be seen. If it does not, I will be proposing to the City Council to petition the Elm Creek Conservation Commission to under- take a project to correct the problem in accordance with the provisions of the joint powers agreement between the members of the commission. 4. TENNANT PROPERTY -- During the past two days we have received word from two builders/developers that the Tennant Company "may want to sell" its land. I have reached Bob Langford, Vice President and General Counsel for Tennant, regarding these comments, and he reports they are not seeking to sell the property. He did say they receive calls from time to time from people who are interested in purchasing the property. It is possible that you may receive the same reports. The Tennant Company has previously committed to informing us as to their plans prior to the end of the August so we may proceed with our trunk sewer project. 5. SECTION 8 CERTIFICATE - REQUEST OF MR. FRANK SOTIS -- Attached is a memorandum from Mayor Davenport regarding the request from Mr. Frank Sotis, who is a quadriplegic and is seeking a Section 8 certificate. Also attached is a memo from Milt Dale regarding this topic. As noted in Milt's memo, we have certificates for both one and two bedroom units for the elderly and handicapped. There are 17 certificates for one bedroom units, and 5 for two bedroom units. The number of applications currently on the waiting list for one bedroom units are 4, and 2 for the two bedroom units. This morning, coincidentally, Milt received a notice from the Minneapolis Public Housing Agency that they have vacancies available for the handicapped or disabled. This information is being forwarded by Milt to Mr. Sotis. And finally, Milt has found that Mr. Sotis is currently residing in a Section 8 new construction development here in Plymouth, the Willow Creek North complex.

ANIMAL HUMANE SOCIETY -- Attached is a letter from Alan Stensrud, Executive Director of the Animal Humane Society of Hennepin County, requesting a grant in the amount of $1,382.50 from the City of Plymouth. According to statistics provided by the Humane Society, of the 20,000 pets received at the Shelter in 1984, 553 animals came from the Plymouth. This is an increase from 1983, when 495 animals were received. I have advised the Society that their request will be considered by the Council during the budget hearings this September. (I-9) 10. DEFENSIVE DRIVER COURSE -- Over 50 City employees participated in a National Safety Council 8 -hour defensive driver training course given recently by David Volker of Employee Benefit Administration, the City's workers compensation carrier. Feedback from the course has been positive. Participants indicated that the most useful aspects of the course were emphasis on greater use of seat belts, the techniques for counteracting hydroplaning, and the two second rule for providing sufficient distance between oneself and the vehicle ahead. Employees from all departments, including public works maintenance, police and general office employees attended this program as part of our continued effort to minimize vehicle related accidents. Llir LUU IL 1NFURNATIONAL MEMORANDUM June 7, 1985 Page 5 11. SAFETY POLICY FOR CONFINED SPACE ENTRY -- The Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) requires each employer to develop procedures which will adequately protect employees who are required to work within confined spaces. Confined spaces include such things as man- holes, lift stations, water plant filtration tanks, sewer jet tanks, etc. A policy has been developed with the assistance of David Volker, working together with supervisors and employees of the sewer and water division. The policy identifies three types of confined space based upon the degree of hazard present in each. The more the hazard, the greater amount of personal protection equipment and safety precautions is necessary. Sewer and water employees have been cooperative in the development of the policy and concur with its contents. Necessary monitoring and rescue equipment has been acquired and will be available for the policy's implementation this month. 12. EMPLOYEE RIGHT TO KNOW LAW -- In 1984 the legislature adopted a law requiring employers to establish a program to educate employees about the hazards associated with materials they use on a regular basis and the steps which can be taken to avoid the negative effects of such hazardous materials. The program involves: 1) Assembling data sheets on each hazardous substance. The data sheet indicates the type of hazardous each substance poses and actions which can be taken to minimize dangers to the employee. 2) All containers must be labeled and a file created so that the data sheets can be easily referred to by employees. 3) The final step is to train employees generally about the meaning of the law and specifically about the hazardous materials, filing system and how to use each to protect themselves against hazardous materials. To date, we have completed all data sheets and will begin to assemble the filing system during the week of dune 10. I expect the training should take place in duly, which will bring us into full conformance with the law. 13. PLYMOUTH EMPLOYEES -- I have received the following correspondence concerning Plymouth employees: a.

Chesebrough 3615 Evergreen Plymouth, MN 55441 May 22, 1985 Mrs. Betty Threinen Chair, Plymouth Park & Rec. Commission 5860 Lawndale Lane Plymouth, MN 55446 Dear Betty, With this letter I am resigning my position as a commissioner on Plymouth's Park and Recreation Advisory Commission. My reasons are as follows: 1 - my employment is demanding more time; 2 - possibly I may transfer and if it happens I'd like to be ready to go quickly; and 3 - the Mayor recently suggested appointees ought to move on after a reasonable term, to make way for others. I agree. I have enjoyed my term as a commissioner very much. It has been a great edu- cation, and I have learned a lot. Please convey my appreciation to Jim Willis and Mayor Davenport. I have always been impressed at the people serving Plymouth, both as volunteers (like yourself) and as employees. Plymouth residents are fortunate to have all these outstanding people working for them. I especially want to say how great it has been working with Eric and his excellent staff. They are always fun to be with and inspiring in their dedi- cation. I wish you and the Commission, and Eric and his staff, all the best as you go forward. There's been a lot of exciting progress while I've been there, and I'm confident there's a lot more coming. Good luck! Sincerely, Stephen W. Chesebrough MINUTES OF SPECIAL MEETING HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY OF PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA JUNE 3, 1955 The special meeting of the Housing and Redevelopment Authority of Plymouth. was called to order by Chairman Del Erickson on the 3rd day of June, 1985 at 6:30 p.m. at the City Council Chambers in the City of Plymouth, Minnesota. The following members of the Authority were present: Chairman Erickson, Commissioners Pat Neils, and Rod Hillstrom. Also present were Planning Director Tremere, Housing Specialist Dale, and City Clerk Houk. ABSENT Commissioners Gerry Neils and Harold Bakke MINUTES It was moved by Commissioner Pat Neils, seconded by Chairperson Erickson, to approve the minutes of the May 6, 1995 meeting as submitted. Motion carried, two ayes. Commissioner Hillstrom abstained. SECTION 8 PROGRAM SELECTION OF AN AUDITOR Associate Planner Dale stated that the low bidder, John S. McCarthy of St. Paul, was highly recommended by the HUD office. The firm that conducted the last audit was the high bidder this year. MOTION was made by Commissioner Pat Neils, seconded by Commissioner Hillstrom, to adopt HRA RESOLUTION NO. 85-06 APPROVING THE FIRM OF JOHN S. McCARTHY AS THE AUDITOR OF THE PLYMOUTH HRA FOR THE PERIOD JULY 1, 1983 - JUNE 30, 1995. Motion carried on a Roll Call vote, three ayes. SCATTERED SITE HOME OWNERSHIP PROGRAM REPORT Planner Tremere overviewed the improvements to the Glacier Lane house. The Hennepin Technical Center cannot take part in the landscaping as planned. He is hoping that a community group can be interested in doing the work if the City purchases the trees and shrubs. Commissioner Neils stated that the problem is that the HRA would not have any control over the maintenance of the trees once the home is purchased. Planner Tremere stated that the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency (MHFA) has annually requested information on the City's interest in mortgage financing. Builders in the community have shown no interest, so the HRA hasn't followed up. This year Dean Johnson has asked if the HRA would help him initiate the program in Plymouth. This would be financing money for first time home buyers. The maximum the HRA could apply for would be $2,000,000, of which the HRA would want $200,000 set aside for the Scattered Site Home Ownership Program. The deadline for making application is June 20. HRA Special Meeting June 3, 1985 Page Two Discussion followed on whether the Council would have to approve this action. MOTION was made by Councilmember Hillstrom, seconded by Councilmember Pat Neils, to adopt HRA RESOLUTION NO. 85-07 RECOMMENDING THE PLYMOUTH CITY COUNCIL TO ENTER INTO AGREEMENT WITH THE MINNESOTA HOUSING FINANCE AGENCY FOR THE MUNICIPAL FIRST TIME HOME BUYERS MORTGAGE LOAN PROGRAM for up to $2,000,000, with a set aside of $200,000 for the HRA's Scattered Site Home Ownership Program. Motion carried on a Roll Call vote, three ayes. MOTION was made by Commissioner Pat Neils, seconded by Commissioner Hillstrom, directing staff to solicit interest from the Development Council through Mr. Berger and from Novak -Fleck specifically, if they are not members of the Development Council, to get a firmer indication of interest and letter of intent from from Dean Johnson with respect to his financing the up front costs, bearing in mind that the City does not intend to pay any of the advance costs associated with this project other than those associated with the $200,000, if there is no option; that the staff prepare a comprehensive memorandum for Council consideration when this is placed on the Council agenda June 17 reflecting the attorney's opinion that the HRA should undertake this without Council approval. Motion carried, three ayes. Planner Tremere stated that he has received oral authorization from Hennepin County to roll over the proceeds from the sale of the first house in Glacier Meadows for the moving and rehabilitation of the other two sites. REHABILITATION OF PRIVATE STRUCTURES - UPDATE Associate Planner Dale presented a map homes had used rehabilitation funds. monies which he expects to use before applications on file at this time. OTHER BUSINESS showing the areas of Plymouth in which There is over $6,000 left in Year X the funding year ends. He has four Planner Tremere verified that the Request for Proposal (RFP) for senior citizen housing in downtown Plymouth will be ready for mailing this month and reflects the changes the Commission had asked for. The meeting adjourned at 7:20 p.m. Secretary PLYMOUTH 2000 COMMITTEE MEETING June 4, 1985 PRESENT: Mayor Davenport, Councilmembers Crain, Schneider, Neils and VdSilioU, City Manager Willis, Finance Director Ricker, Assistant Manager Boyles, Plymouth 2000 committee members Paul Ridgeway and Stu Lehman Mayor Davenport reviewed the memorandum he had written regarding the four issues which Plymouth 2000 committee members asked direction on. The Mayor stated that his basic perspective is to keep the project manageable by reducing the number of issue areas, minimizing the number of program planners, and completing the project before the winter holidays. Paul Ridgeway and Stu Lehman stated that they were happy to see the Council be more limiting in their perspective on Plymouth 2000. They were fearful that the project was becoming larger than could be reasonably handled. Those present reached agreement on a number of points: 1. Plymouth 2000 should be no longer than one day. 2. The final output should be largely verbal. There should be no white papers or written booklets, other than perhaps a brief final outline report. 3. There should be a clear identifiable area of focus for the sessions which might act as a springboard for other issues. 4. A major part of the committee's focus should be how to get partici- pation from residents who otherwise may not participate in local affairs. Once obtained, the committee should work to sustain parti- cipation. The committee further reviewed the Mayor's memorandum revising the issue areas to be included. The issue area of education was deleted. Environ- mental quality was retained and the democratic process and state of the individual issues were distilled into one issue entitled, "Democratic Process and Role of the Individual". Plymouth 2000 will concentrate on issues of: 1) environmental quality, and 2) the democratic process and role of the individual. A three -fold focus will be maintained with Plymouth 2000. The first will be, "Where's Plymouth Now", the second focus, "Where could, or should Plymouth be within the identified issue areas in the year 200011, and the final question will be, "What steps will be necessary and what roles will business, homeowner associations, residents, institutions and local govern- ment play in bringing about the projected changes for the year 2000." There was agreement that the Plymouth 2000 event should be completed during the month of October. PLYMOUTH 2000 COMMlITLL June 4, 1985 Page 2 Members of the Plymouth 2000 committee agreed that they should be prepared to get together to discuss this direction and proceed by identifying the two contact persons in each issue area and orienting them to the purpose of the project. Preliminary steps should then be taken to establish the location, date, and publicity needed for the event. The meeting adjourned at 8:17 p.m. SHINGLE CREEK WATERSHED MANAGEMENT COMMISSION 3030 Harbor Lane • Plymouth, MN 55441 (612) 553-1144 M I N U T E S May 9, 1985 A meeting of the Shingle Creek Watershed Management Commission was called to order by Chairman Neil Johnson on Thursday, May 9, 1985, at 12:05 p.m. at T.

Minneapolis, MN 55422 Telephone 612-522-4325 Be A Voice For Those Who Cannot Speak Mr. James Willis, City Manager City of Plymouth City Hall 3400 Plymouth Boulevard Plymouth, Mn 55447 Dear Mr. Willis: May 20, 1985 In 1973 a state law passed (Minnesota State Statute 343.11) allowing governmental bodies to appropriate funds not to exceed $4,800 per year for the maintenance and support of humane societies. In the spirit of this Statute, the Animal Humane Society of Hennepin County wishes to seek a grant in the amount of $1,382.50 from the City of Plymouth. During 1984 the Animal Humane Society received 20,000 unwanted pets at the Shelter, and 553 of these animals came from the City of Plymouth. Specifically, there were 250 dogs, 234 cats, and 69 other animals. This represents an increase over 1983, when 495 animals were received from Plymouth. In addition to caring for animals here at the Shelter, the Humane Society visits with over 55,000 students and senior citizens yearly through its humane education programs and pet facilitated therapy visits, and responds to 1,500 cruelty and rescue calls annually in Hennepin County. The Animal Humane Society of Hennepin County is a private non-profit corporation dedicated to the welfare of animals since 1891. Our primary funding comes from adoption fees and contributions. We can leave no stone unturned in looking for funds, and we feel that we are justified in seeking support from the City of Plymouth in the spirit of State Statute 343.11 and because of the number of animals we receive from Plymouth residents. We are asking that the City of Plymouth consider support in the amount of $2.50 per animal received last year, or $1,382.50. For your information, we are making this request to other cities in Hennepin County from where significant numbers of animals are received. A NON-PROFIT CORPORATION DEDICATED TO THE WELFARE OF ANIMALS Mr. James Willis, city Manager May 20, 1985 Page 2 Our Development Director, Shelly Stuart, will call you about this request, and I am hoping that you can advise us on how to proceed. Thank you very much for your time and attention. Sincerely, Alan T.

I understand that our request will be considered during the budget hearings scheduled begin- ning in September, 1985. As you suggested, I will call you in early September.

May 22, 1985 Mr. Michael Ridgley, Investigator Plymouth Police Department 3400 Plymouth Boulevard Plymouth, MN 55427 Dear Mike, Senate State of Minnesota This is just a note to express my sincere appreciation to you for all your help with my child abuse bill this year. Thanks to your efforts, the author of the mandatory taping amendment withdrew his amendment on the Senate floor, and the bill passed the Senate free and clear. The incredible unity arid effectiveness shown by the criminal justice community in fighting this amendment in the Senate was a key factor in achieving an immediate tone of compromise in the House -Senate Conference Committee. As you probably know, the final bill does not contain a mandatory taping provision. As a compromise, it requires that either taped or written records be made of interviews with children, and requires all county attorneys' offices to develop written guidelines on tape recording of inter- views. I am enclosing a copy of the final conference committee report on H.F. 848 as passed by the Senate and House on Monday, May 20. The compromise taping language is found on pages 20-21. once again, I am indebted to you and your colleagues for your help on this important issue. Thank you for being there when we needed you.

MN 55441-5699 Last Friday, after his preliminary planning had been done with us, Plymouth Forester, Steve Cook gave 16 demonstration sessions to as many classroom groups on how to plant and care for a tree seedling. Then each child received a beautifully potted white spruce seedling to take home and plant. We are all very much impressed and appreciative of this program and believe it helps build excellent attitudes in the children towards trees and preservation of our natural surroundings. The activity seemed so very appropriate: it is Arbor month; Al Hilde, one of Plymouth's past mayors was a founding father of our beautiful, 10 acre nature center when he was active with our P.T.A.; and in 1981 we received the Education Award from the Arbor Foundation at Nebraska City, Nebraska for related kinds of activities. Thanks so much for giving us the opportunity to participate in your excellent program.

June 4, 1985 David J. Davenport, Mayor City of Plymouth 3400 Plymouth Boulevard Plymouth, Minnesota 55447 Dear Dave, PLYMOUTH Change comes slowly, but it does come. The Board of The Wayzata Soccer Club unanimously voted to amend the bylaws to change their name to The Wayzata— Plymouth Soccer Club. You may have wondered if your letter suggesting the name change was ignored... it was not. In fact, it started people thinking about who makes up the Soccer Club. The fact is out of the 9 communities that make up the district, Plymouth has the most participants in the Club (and Board members). The name "Wayzata" was kept for several reasons: 1. We work within the Wayzata School District. 2. The City of Wayzata has let us use storage facilities of theirs over the years. 3. We have gained an outstanding reputation in the upper Midwest and Canada for our Tournament. It will take several years for the Wayzata Tournament to be known as the Plymouth Tournament. 4. It's hard to let go of the past. It's going to take a little time for people to remember the new name all the time. We will use most supplies until they are gone or almost gone, except for stationery. I am getting that changed as soon as possible. Thank you for your past support and I look forward to your support in the future. Sincerely, Donald Horst President cc/ Betty Threinen Eric Blank ,Y CITY C� PUMOUTR June 5, 1985 Ms. Helen R.

I am sorry that I could not appear but I do want to extend the City's warmest congratulations to Thorpe Bros. on attaining such a milestone in its history. All of us in Plymouth concur with Thorpe Bros.' belief that the strength and vitality of our neighborhoods have contributed greatly to the growth and progress of the Twin Cities over the last century, so it was especially rewarding to learn that this belief dated back to Samuel and James Thorpe, the founding fathers of Thorpe Bros. in 1885. I think your "Great Neighbor- hood Clean -Up" is a great idea and I am glad it includes both commercial and industrial "neighborhoods" as well. Again, pleas.& --extend our congratulations to Thorpe's official family.

Oct c.ca d 131, 0tL-, - I "I Think The Best, I Expect The Best" For many years, people in our contry have been thinking ani expecting the best of themselves. This trait has often been passed down through generations and resides in your parents and mine alike. They then hope to pass it on to us. My parents have tried, sometimes through a great deal of effort, to make me think and expect the best from myself so that I will be able to handle what life gives to me in the future. They've done this mostly through encouragement. I've been exposed to new things and encouraged to try them. But what's probably been most important is that whether I've succeeded or failed, they've always thought the best of me and have given me the will to try again. Eventually, this idea of thinking and expecting the best in myself actually sunk in. Many of you may remember the day your parents took the training wheels off your. bike. My parents and my brother were all standing there telling me "you can do it, you can ride that bike." I believed them and started off. It worked for about fifteen feet until I crash-landed into our front yard. They came over, picked me up, and wiped the tears dry. And just when I was about ready to kick that bike, they told me how well I had done and to look at how far I had gone. That was enough for me to get back on and try again. And the more times I tried, the farther I went until I knew that I could ride that bike anywhere. What I didn't realize then was that with help from my parents, I was developing an ability to think and expect the best from within myself. And whether I succeeded or failed, that ability encouraged me to keep trying. Today I'm still trying. Often times, I sit in school wondering "why do I study so much?" or "why do I push myself so hard in athletics?". The difference today though, is that I know why I do those things. I want to do the best that I can in what I choose to do. The process of thinking and expecting the best in myself motivates me to do just that. From there I can try to accomplish what I set out to do now and into the future through school, athletics, jobs, a family, and especially in a month or two when I go from riding my bike to driving a car. (Incidentally, I'm expected to not crash-land it in our front yard.) Why all this you ask? Because I know that I only have one life to live and by doing something positive with it, it would become a way of thanking my parents for their encouragement. At any rate, I do not know what will happen in times to come, but I do know that the ability to think and expect the best is very valuable. It began to develop a long time ago with help from my parents. It is what now enables me to hold my head up and keep trying in any endeavor. And it lets me show my parents that I did learn something from them that will be put to good use. I think my aunt said it best when she wrote something that I feel I can now apply to myself: "I'll keep striving to be even better, to make you proud for all the time you gave to me to make me shine."

I hope that you found the forum to be helpful in responding to most of your questions. With respect to your concerns about your assessment and whether or not easement costs were netted out of the total, I would recommend that you contact Bob Johnson in our Engineering Deparmtent. He will make the assessment rolls available to you in order that you can obtain the information you desire. By examining the roll, you will also get a better feel for the amount of money which Carlson Companies is responsible for paying in association with these improvements. Monday evening you also asked about the possibility of opening the roadway which accesses the fast food area in Minnetonka. I have written a letter to Mayor Donlin of Minnetonka asking that they consider opening this roadway. I hope to have a response from the Minnetonka Council in the near future. The final issue which was raised was whether or not the fence could be installed on the west side of new County Road 61 as soon as possible. Our Engineering Department will contact the contractors working on this property to have them install this fence as soon as possible.

PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447, TELEPHONE (612) 559-2800 June 4, 1985 CITY OF Mr. Mark Hendrickson PUMOUTR Office of Planning & Development C2353 Hennepin County Government Center Minneapolis, MN 55487 Dear Mark: On August 17, 1982 the City of Plymouth and Hennepin County entered into a disposition agreement with respect to a 5.37 acre parcel which the City acquired using Community Development Block Grant funding. The agreement was a mechanism through which this land could be held until such time that development in the neighborhood would justify the construction of a senior citizen housing complex. Paragraph two of the Terms and Conditions of the Disposition Agreement state that, "The City covenants and agrees that the purpose of such purchase and acquisition of said property is for the construction of senior citizen housing units and that such construction shall occur not later than three (3) years from and after the date the property is acquired by the City. If at the end of such three (3) year period, construction of said project has not actually begun, but it can be demonstrated at such time that such project is still viable and feasible, the City shall have an option to extend the period during which it may hold such land for an additional three (3) year period." In order to receive a three year extension to the disposition agreement, the City must demonstrate, in the words of the Disposition Agreement, that,•"the project is still viable and feasible". That is the purpose of this letter. A great deal has happened since August 17, 1982 - the date the parcel was purchased. At that time there were no housing units within three city blocks of the site. Instead, only vegetation and small game occupied this property and the immediate area surrounding it. The property would have easily been mistaken for farm land, except for the fact that newly finished roadways with concrete curb and gutter and utilities had already been installed in the area. Today, it is evident that a great deal of development has taken place. Over 400 multi -residential housing units have been installed, with most occupied. The units are very diverse with 8 luxury townhouses; 8 town- houses; 128 quadraminium units; and 72 moderate cost condominiums and 72 moderate cost rental units. Commercial services are now beginning to establish themselves in the downtown Plymouth area. A bank, cleaners, liquor store and cable television studio have been constructed and are in operation. 3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD, PLYMOUTH. MINNESOTA 55447, TELEPHONE (612) 559.2800 Mr. Mark Hendrickson June 4, 1985 Page 2 Additional commercial development in this area is anticipated soon. Various development sites have been acquired by major commercial/retail interests. For example, Super Valu and Standard Oil have purchased parcels. In addition, local medical and professional firms have also invested. These interests have advised us that their development plans are dependent upon development of residential units in the area. Since the residential developments are underway it is only a matter of time until commercial interests respond to the new market demographics. To increase the likelihood that downtown Plymouth property will develop over the next three years, First Bank -Plymouth has foreclosed on certain properties in this area which were previously held by the Plymouth Hills Company -- the original developer of the land. Up until the date of foreclosure, it had become increasingly obvious that the Plymouth Hills Company had limited resources to guide the full development of this area. The financial resources and acumen of the First Bank System should greatly assist in assuring more timely development of the property. Anticipating that the time to develop this project is upon us, the Plymouth Housing and Redevelopment Authority has directed the City staff to submit requests for proposals to prospective developers, several of whom have already expressed unsolicited interest. The purpose of the proposals is to determine the degree of interest in this site for the construction of senior citizen housing units. The proposals should also provide us with infor- mation on the degree of and type of assistance which will be required by a private or non-profit developer to proceed with construction on this site, especially in the absence of federal construction funds. Proposals are to be received by duly 15. A copy of the request for proposal is attached for information purposes. The activities cited above demonstrate that the development of adjacent land which has taken place, and that which is anticipated, coupled with the activities currently underway regarding the senior citizen site, support the proposition that the project will be both viable, feasible and underway within the next three years. We therefore request that the disposition agreement be extended for the three year period contemplated in the original 1982 terms. If you have any questions, for your cooperation. Yours ver ruly,; Frank Boyles Assistant City Manager please do not hesitate to contact me.

Our public transit program, known as "Plymouth Metrolink", provides commuter service to down- town Minneapolis, reverse commuter service for people living downtown but workinq in Plymouth, and internal circulator bus service for residents who wish to shop, visit, or conduct personal business within and adjacent to the city. The internal circulator service operates seven days a week, year around, on an hourly basis between 10:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Attached is a schedule showing the routes and times for the internal circulator bus each day. Also attached is a route map displaying the actual route of the internal circulating bus on each trip. The location of the senior citizen site has been asterisked on the map. The internal circulator bus is a 25 -passenger minicoach equipped with approved handicapped access equipment. The route map of the internal circulator bus was developed specifically to serve our more dense residential and commercial develop- ment areas. On each trip, the internal circulator bus makes available to the passenger any of over 50 restaurant, shopping, banking, medical, dental and other professional facilities (see attached list). Since the internal circulator bus also serves the major regional shopping center, Ridgedale, a passenger wishing to conduct business in downtown Minneapolis at any time during the day could use the mid-day circulator to transfer onto Metropolitan Transit Commission vehicles at Ridgedale and receive service to and from downtown Minneapolis. ,110%< The current contract for the Plymouth Metrolink expires on We fully expect that public transportation service at the levels I have outlined above will remain available to residents of Plymouth and the proposed senior site until and very likely beyond such time as neighborhood amenities become fully developed in the Plymouth downtown area immediately adjacent to the Plymouth senior citizen site.

May 31, 1985 N CITY OF PUMOUTR Mr. Ken Peterson Honeywell, Inc. 12001 Highway 55 Plymouth, MN 55441 RE Noise Generated by Rooftop Equipment Dear Mr. Peterson: We have received an inquiry from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (PCA) aLout the noise generated by your rooftop equipment; this inquiry apparently was prompted by complaints from your neighbors to the PCA. It is my understanding the complaints are directed to them because there was a perception that the City had not followed through with Honeywell to resolve the problem. You may recall that, during the Public Hearings before the Planning Commission last fall, the matter of the noise generation came up and the Planning Commission was informed that Honeywell would take steps to resolve the matter. I have subsequently had discussions with Mr. George Mellen who indicated that this would be undertaken this year. The problem appears to be that, as warmer weather has developed, people are outdoors more and perhaps have their windows open more and consequently the noise has become an irritating factor as it was last year. I request your assistance in this matter by providing me with a schedule of how Honey- well will complete the necessary screening and other appropriate noise reduction meas- ures. This work should be accomplished this spring. I have attached for your reference Planning Commission Minutes and correspondence re- garding this subject. We had hoped this matter would be resolved so that it would not be necessary for non -local authorities to become involved. Unfortunately this did not occur and I am sure the PCA will be looking for prompt compliance with applicable State regulations and standards with respect to noise generation.

On the attached map, the areas listed as 1 and 2 are the areas along 50th Avenue that will be sodded and maintained in a manicured status. Area number 3, which has been planted with small evergreen trees and has steeper slopes, will be remaining in its natural condition. The Council also wants you to know that although there are no plans in the immediate future for construction of a parking lot at this park, the approved site plan does call for a six-:ar parking lot adjacent to 50th Avenue. Therefore, the plan for this park still retains the idea of a parking lot on the north end. If on -street parking on 50th Avenue becomes a problem in the future, the Council will give consideration at that time to constructing the parking lot. You can expect that a contractor will be working on the site in the near future to grade, level, and sod this particular area. If you have any questions about this proposed park improvement, please don't hesitate to give me a call at 559-2800 x 265. Sincerely, Eric J.

You and I have discussed this on several occasions and we have both been contacted by a representative of a resident's group who apparently has concerns about the scope of the event. The City does not have an objection to the event at the time or on the date indicated, subject to the following: 1. The District will take maximum appropriate steps to properly regulate traffic generated by the event, both on and off the site. This includes provisions for adequate parking facilities within the park. 2. Traffic congestion onto and from County Road 9 should be minimized and no parking related to this event should be allowed on either side of County Road 9. 3. You should confirm with appropriate State and/or Federal Aeronautic Authority whether there are applicable regulations that might impact this event. Medi- cine Lake is a designated seaplane landing base. 4. Neighbors have indicated a concern that the event would draw outside traffic into their neighborhoods and not necessarily into the park itself. This should be considered by your enforcement personnel so that appropriate traffic control could be provided perhaps at locations other than the entrance to the park itself. You should coordinate with our Public Safety Department regard- ing this. 5. The review of your Conditional Use Permit indicates that this is within the scope of Regional Park activities mainly because it is a non-profit, non-com- mercial event related to the regional scope of the Aquatennial summer events. It would not be appropriate to conclude that similar other commercial events are appropriate for the French Regional Park. 6. Any flyers or other publicity generated about this event should be distributed to the residents around the lake. 3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD, PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447, TELEPHONE (612) 559-2800 Page two Mr. Robert Wickland Hennepin County Regional Park May 31, 1985 I understand that you have met with some members of the Association of Medicine Lake Area Citizens (AMLAC) and that you intend to provide additional opportunities for citizens to express their concern.

LOUIS PARK 55416 612-925-4540 Thank you for the letters from both you and Frank Boyles regarding the possible effects that the recent Garcia vs San Antonio ruling may have on the city of Plymouth. I agree that the decision could be disasterous for cities like Plymouth. The Department of Labor has informed me that the decision of how to implement the Gracia ruling will be made in the next couple of weeks. Once that decision is made, we will know exactly what the impact will be on the City of Plymouth. I understand that you have been in contact with my office concerning possible actions that might be taken to reverse any negative effects that the reinstatement of the 1974 amendments to the Fair Labor Standards Act may cause. It is my feeling that eventually it may be necessary to draft legislation to counteract some or all of the state and local restrictions which may evolve from this Supreme Court ruling. I will follow this situation closely. As soon as DOL reaches a decision you will be notified and we will discuss what action should be taken.
