Higher prices head for the'burbs
Neal Gendler
Star Tribune
Published April 29, 2004
Close window
Twin Cities -area home buyers' quest for affordability is turning ever -farther townships and towns into suburbs, and bringing city -style real estate
prices along with them.
Sales data for 2003 released Wednesday by the Public Policy Partnership showed continued expansion of the metropolitan area, while at the same
time, young people and empty -nesters have been flocking to the central cities, swelling the growth of condominiums.
"The biggest trend I've been seeing is people moving beyond the second or third -ring suburbs -- up to North Branch and Harris on the north and on
the south as far as Lonsdale [and] Montgomery," said John Lockner. president of the St. Paul Area Association of Realtors. Small farming towns are
"now becoming mini -suburbs."
For example, median home prices in New Scandia Township in Washington County along the St. Croix River jumped 29 percent, and sales more
than doubled from six in 2002 to 15 last year. The greatest Icap in median price in the areas tallied was Bayto��n To%Nnship, also along the St. Croix.
which rose 69 percent. (The median price is the point at which half the sales are more. half less.) "That whole east metro beyond Woodbury is large -
acreage. estate -type homes." noted Lockner.
He said far-out areas offer less expensive land and can fulfill people's desires to live on acreage.
Many people move to once -rural cities because they now can get sewer, %viter and other city services. The trend even affects established cities such
as Northfield, where "the amount of construction is unbelievable," Lockner said.
In general, metro -arca houses more than held their value. \%ith some of the biggest jumps occurring in portions of Minneapolis and St. Paul.
"If you look at the unit sales, they're up almost across the board, and it's our belief that one trend is not necessarily happening at the expense of the
other," said Mark Allen, CEO of the Minneapolis Area Association of Realtors. Last year, more than 56,500 Twin Cities -area home sales were
closed, a fourth -consecutive record. But while mail\- people are looking farther out for low density, affordability and suburban amenities. there's also
all increase of people coming back into the core cities and inner suburbs." Allen said.
In general, exurbanites are buying newly built homes by trading drive time for affordability.
The data. from the Regional Multiple Listing Service, were compiled and distributed by the partnership. a consortium of the St. Paul, North Metro
and Southern Twin Cities Realtor associations
The Realtors associations reported in January that the metrowide median sale price for 2003 was $199,900, up 8.1 percent from 2002.
Suburbanites tired of driving, or those who are downsizing, are among the buyers keeping core -city values aloft. Minneapolis' median price of
$186,576 was up 9 percent from 2002, and St. Paul's median of $170,000 was up 8 percent.
Minneapolis' University area had an 18 percent increase in median price. Coldwell Banker Burnet agent Nancy Meeden said it appears that
University, which includes popular Prospect Park, got a boost from addition of sales in the new Emerald Gardens condominium development, even
though it's across the street from Prospect Park, in St. Paul.
Northeast first -ring suburbs Columbia Heights and Hilltop gained 17 percent by being a "window of affordability, which tends to cause a larger price
increase than occurs in other areas," said John Collopy, co-owner of Re/Max Results, who grew up in Columbia Heights. Collopy said Columbia
Heights -- straight up Central Avenue from downtown Minneapolis -- offers "the proverbial three-bedroom, double -garage rambler" at attainable
prices, plus convenient access to both central cities.
City and some suburban property values also are helped by growing numbers of young buyers.
"The research I've read seems to indicate that the young, well-educated workforce that is migrating to our region sees the urban component of the
metropolitan area -- and specifically the arts and entertainment area -- as very attractive," Allen said. Those same amenities also attract empty -
nesters, many still working.
"We're now seeing a lot of 19- to 25 -year-olds purchasing homes," Lockner said. "They're making a decision about paying $1,200 for a one -bedroom
apartment vs. a two-bedroom townhome. A lot are in the $140,000 to $150,000 range at a 5.5 percent interest rate. [With] low down -payment
programs, people don't need a lot of cash to get into them," he said.
� l
"We're selling a lot of townhouses, a lot of condos, and look at all the new construction in that area, from the lofts downtown to suburban
townhouses," said Ann Brockhouse, president of the Minneapolis Realtors group. She said condo conversions are numerous, partly because "the
rental market is soft," leading apartment owners to sell their units individually for greater profit than selling the building as rental property.
Demand for association living -- usually attached housing that can take varied forms -- is being driven from both ends of the buying public: first -
timers seeking affordability and empty -nesters and retirees moving to smaller, but not necessarily cheaper quarters.
But people remembering the local condo -price collapse of the late 1980s needn't fear a recurrence, certainly not in the near term, Brockhouse said.
Nationally, condominium sales last year passed those of single-family houses for the first time, she said. Nationally, the median price for
condominium units was $174,700, while the single-family median was $171,600. She said the trend will become stronger as baby boomers become
empty -nesters.
Realtors expect population growth to keep the market strong. "I think we're not going to see any impact of interest rates on the market in the
foreseeable future," Allen said. "We've got every indication of a growing economy and growing demographics."

Step 1 — Starting Monday April 12, 2004, Lakeview, Dexter, and May Streets will be
closed at the construction limits adjacent to Park Avenue. Local Traffic will have access to
5 I
affected properties (mostly the apartments) via gravel access roads. The only period of time
Jff
access swill have to be blocked is for the installation of pipe across the driveway entrances.
We will work to minimize these disruptions and they should not exceed 4 hours.
Strter.atr
Step 2 — On or about the week of April 19th to April 20th we will close Watertown Road.
Local residents will always have access on gravel roads. The only period of time access
will have to be blocked is for the installation of pipe across the driveway entrances. We
will work to minimize these disruptions and they should not exceed 4 hours. For residents
on Bollum Lane we will always maintain access to the homes.
Step 3 — On or about the week of April 26th to May 2 we will Bypass Orono Orchard Road
and close Bollum Lane. Local residents .will always have access on gravel roads. The only
period of time access will have to be blocked is for the installation of pipe across the
driveway entrances. We will work to minimize these disruptions and they should not .
exceed 4 hours. For residents on Bollum Lane we will always maintain access to the
homes.
Step 4 — Everything should be ready for paving by late May. Some disruptions of traffic
may be necessary to allow paving of Park Road and adjacent roads. Paving of these roads
should take no more that 4 days.
Step 5 — We will have cleanup, topsoil, and seeding following the installation of curb
gutter, paving and sidewalk.

A meeting of the Surface Water Task Force was held beginning at 7:00 p.m. in the Lunch
Room of City Hall, 3400 Plymouth Blvd. on Thursday, April lst, 2004.
Adopted Minutes
Surface Water Task Force on April 1, 2004
Page 2 of 6
Community Development Director Hurlburt welcomed the task force members and asked
for introductions.
Approval of Minutes
Community Development Director Hurlburt asked for approval of the minutes from the
March 18th 2004 Surface Water Task Force meeting. A Task Force Member asked for
clarification of the main source of surface water pollution. It was explained that in new
development erosion is the main concern, but in areas where development is complete
most sediment is transported in runoff from impervious areas, especially streets. The
minutes were approved.
Background Presentations
A Task Force member asked for clarification regarding handout #26 (Fixed Asset
Summary Report as of 12/31/02) and handout #29 (Fixed Asset Replacement Projection).
Financial Analyst Mike Kohn explained that handout #26 lists storm sewer pipes & other
components of the system along with their cost. The life expectancy and current
replacement costs are estimated. Handout #29 sorts each pipe by the year they were
believed to have been constructed. Early records are not completely accurate. He
referred to handout #27, which shows the specific pipes and other elements added in
2003. Each year the list is updated. These reports are used to estimate how much the
City should be spending each year for replacement. It is unknown how long these pipes
will last. Pipes were made of brick 100 years ago, and some of those still exist. Later,
concrete pipes were installed. Today we are using plastic pipes, which haven't been in the
ground long enough to determine how long they will last, but they could last as long as
100 years. Most estimates show that the City currently should be spending about
$500,000 dollars per year for replacements, but this will go up dramatically in 2020 —
2030. Current replacement cost is estimated at S40 million. As things age the cost to
maintain will be greater. In the future we may not always replace pipes, but could use
other methods such as lining and repair, which would change the cost estimates.
A task force member asked how replacing storm water pipe in the ground related to the
task force's charge, and wondered whether the focus was getting larger than it needed to
be.
Community Development Director Hurlburt said that all these items were connected
since pipe systems and flooding are linked. Water quality and quantity are connected,
and affects what the City has to pay for. The Council requested the task force to address
water quality, storm water runoff and flooding.
A Task Force member asked if the City currently provides for replacement of these
underground storm water pipes?
Adopted Minutes
Surface Water Task Force on April I, 2004
Page 3 of 6
Community Development Director Hurlburt asked Financial Analyst Kohn what was in
the Capital Improvement Program for storm sewer pipe replacements. Kohn explained
that the general operating budget provides funds for maintenance crews to replace
manholes and catch basins when they are beyond repair, and they repair and refurbish 40-
50 per year. The 2004 Capital Improvement Program (handout #36, 2004-2008 Capital
Improvements Program for Water Quality and Drainage) shows $50,000 budgeted for
replacement of West Medicine Lake pipe and $100,000 for pipe replacement at 15th Ave.
and Pineview: These projects are paid for form the Water Resources Fund.
Community Development Director Hurlburt asked whether this means that the City does
not have a program in place to do those replacements other than the catch basins and the
few things that are in the CIF today, and that a reserve to find future replacements has
not been established. This was confirmed.
A Task Force member asked how the City identifies water quality and drainage projects
and how they are prioritized. Public Works Director Faulkner responded that they are
prioritized based on staff's best engineering judgment and where there will be the most
benefit.
A Task Force member asked if the City also inspects and cleans out debris in drainage
pipes on a regular basis. Public Works Director Faulkner answered that staff tries to do
annual inspections, and sometimes we need to televise in order to really know what's in
the pipes. That inspection includes debris cleaning where applicable.
Community Development Director Hurlburt reviewed the Criteria for Evaluating
Options, which were identified at the March 18`I' Meeting. No changes or additions were
made to the criteria.
Brainstorming Exercise: Identifv Options
Community Development Hurlburt led the task force in a brainstorming exercise to
identify options for the city's role in dealing xvith pond cleaning, flooding problems and
drainage systems, and how to pay for it.
As individuals, or in small groups, task force members worked to generate ideas, each of
which was written on an individual piece of paper. Members took turns adding their
ideas to lists put on the wall. Staff organized the ideas into themes or categories. During
group discussion, the groupings were further refined as follows:
1. Do nothing-- what other areas are affected if we do nothing?
2. Pond design—assess the size of drainage pipes & ponds, are they large enough to
hold large volumes of water; plant more evergreens around ponds to soak up more
water year round; make new ponds deeper to forestall the dredging issue; are
retaining walls around ponds needed to prevent flooding; who decides on pipe size?
Adopted Minutes
Surface Water Task Force on April 1, 2004
Pa -0e 4 of G
3. Planning-- are there any other city/states facing a similar issue, how has it been dealt
with; move from reaction to prevention for surface water; do benchmarking, not just
local; consistent plan across Plymouth; city-wide evaluation of flooding—highlight
highest risk areas, address through: const., education/awareness, planting/landscape;
how does this coordinate with the City of Plymouth Water Plan; co-ordinate activities
& work among the 4 watersheds in Plymouth; prework to set priorities by 2005+/-,
what causes lakes to be impaired? site specific, what causes wetlands to become poor
eco -system? Set up a loop to revisit goals once original ones are met; objectives
(S.M.A.R.T.) specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, time -bound; upstream work
connected to downstream issue resulting in lakes & wetlands; monitor lakes &
wetlands for changes desired; monitor all public developments or improvements for
run-off potential.
4. Preventive maintenance—create program to inspect & decide on action; set up a
preventive maintenance schedule for lakes, wetlands and ponds; use volunteer water
task force personnel; include weed & algae control into city pond maintenance
function; cleaning start at top of "hill" beginning of 4 watersheds; yearly inspection
of water quality; database on all water ponds looking at needs; inspect ponds for
function, water quality & flood control; clean culverts on a schedule to prevent
flooding or damage.
S. Goals—optimize watershed to maximize quality and minimize flood damage by 2008
+/- 3 yrs; return wetlands to an average healthy eco -system status by 2011 +/- 3 yrs;
return lakes to non -impaired status by 2014 +/- 3 yrs.
6. Education-- improve water quality education; divide NURP vs. wetlands; education
on BMP's such as rain gardens, no curb & gutter, pervious parking lot surfaces, green
industrial roofs, etc.; make "Best Management Practices" / BMP's household words.
7. Make developers pay—hold developers responsible for review of existing properties
up & down stream; determine legacy responsibilities of developers; cost breaks for
developers that use landscape designs that improve water quality; water quality fee
for developers of new properties to fund future pond cleaning; hold developers more
accountable for cleaning, build better NURP ponds; worry about first cleaning after a
couple years.
8. Makiirg flooding first priority—inspection of storm sewer pipes of ponds that have
flooded; prioritize problems.
9. Landscaping/educate property owners— add gypsum into the lawns to break down
the clay; plant long rooted plants to increase infiltration; reduce Kentucky Blue Grass;
encourage flat roof industry- garden roofs; geese impact on water quality; individual
homeowner responsibility to reduce run-off; plantings of deep rooted plants native
Adopted Minutes
Surface Water Task Force on April I, 2004
Pale 5 of 6
varieties; encourage rain gardens, public & private; rain barrels; rain gardens;
decrease soil compaction.
10. Change development standards/regulations-- make streets narrower; increase
infiltration; require removal of docks made from treated lumber containing
chromate/copper/arsenic; require lakeshore owners to do property landscaping;
boat/motor ordinance; rethink existing grass height regulation to allow for plants with
longer roots to increase infiltration.
11. Assess to benefiting property owners—surface water fee should be slightly higher for
properties abutting ponds; who pays for "commercial" ponds (assessment?); assign as
many ponds as possible; assign as many wetlands as possible; charge extra fee for
variances which exceed impervious surface standards; add fees to docks that have
treated lumber.
12. Pond cleaning-- ponds must be cleaned to maintain water quality; pond maintenance
should be on a rotating basis, probably 10/12 year cycle; sub work out to get
experience (5 years?); investigate dredging material for possible recycle on new
development lawns; find takers for free fill; evaluate pond cleaning options -1.
dredging 2. pumping 3. new technology.
13. City takes over ponds—City should maintain all ponds & wetlands in the City; clean
natural wetlands too; City manages pond cleaning & funding; prior to City taking
over pond it must meet city's new standards or receive $$ to do so; assume
responsibility for all ponds; City takes over, subs out or cleans itself.
14. Budgeting—distinguish budgets capital vs. O & M; city to use "0" base budgeting;
make a wish -list budget, to study; balance budget for Plymouth with surface water
funds for future (400k min. annually after proposed projects); all funds collected
under the surface water fee should be dedicated finds; protect fee from "dumping" &
"raiding"; cut other things in city budgets to fund surface water; make fee tax-
deductible (pay from taxes); City give credit for any group maintains own pond.
15. Make other agenciespay—approach watershed commissions or districts; wait for the
governor to establish a funding mechanism for TMDL's; NRCS funding (federal);
fund at higher level (state/ feds/ DNR); City to ensure receipt of all available funds
from other govt. units; can DNR or Bassett Creek Watershed provide funding; carp
contest; using existing city staff to pursue impaired water funding, grants & TMDL S.
16. Increase surface water fee—raise water fees for next years +; re -assess existing
water fees to create provision for larger long-term maintenance plan, create 5-10 year
plan & funding scenario; cost to maintain should be from added surface water fee;
minimize tax (fee) increase < 10+/-% specifically for surface water (annually), note:
5% is for inflation; spend fee on outside costs (not internal).
Adopted Minutes
Surface Water Task Force on April I, 2004
Page 6 of 6
17. Increase taxes-- water quality $ should be tax $ not fee S.
18. Bonding—bond for immediate needs (3 years), raise surface water fee for annual
needs thereafter.
19. Increase firnding—increase taxes or fees, doesn't matter what you call it, $ are
needed; new avenues of resources to increase the efficiency of the city (time, $), i.e.
monitoring of pond depth and quality by trained residents near each site;
Set Preliminary Agenda for Meeting #4
Hurlburt explained that the next step would be for the Task Force to review the list and
evaluate which options best meet the criteria. Staff will prepare some materials to help
with this task. The next meeting will be held in three weeks, on Thursday, April 22"a
Terrie Christian provided handout # 40, an article with background information on the
surface water fee.
This meeting was adjourned at 9:30 p.m.

Dear Penny,
I have been contacted by a resident, Mr. Ken NeutVgens, expressing concern about two
issues on a county road in Plymouth. His first concern is excessive speeding near his
home at 14407 County Road 6. He would like the speed limit lowered. I believe it has
been some time since a speed study was done on this roadway. and perhaps the county
could determine whether an updated study is warranted. ills second concern relates to
excessive litter along County Road 6. He has suggested installation of -No Litter" si�Ons.
Since this is a county road, I will put this in your hands to consider and address. I do
concur that the speeding causes safety concerns and agree there is a generous amount of
litter along County Road 6. 1 encourage your serious consideration of his requests and
would appreciate being copied on your response. Thank you.
At your service,

On behalf of all the people of our area, congratulations on your selection as "Tree City USA" by
the National Arbor Day Foundation!
Judy, the City of Plymouth's dedication to maintaining its trees is most impressive. Your
dedication to designating responsibility for tree care to a volunteer board or city department,
maintaining a tree -care ordinance, spending at least S2 per capita annually on community
forestry and proclaiming and observing Arbor Day is remarkable. That's public service of the
highest order!
You and your fellow council members are making the City of Plymouth a beautiful place to live
for years to come.
Congratulations and thanks again, Judy. Please let me know if I can ever be helpful in any way.

Dear «RESIDENT NAME»,
This is to inform you of proposed storm water pipe and/or ditch
maintenance work on or near your property. Significant drainage
problems have developed in the area. Specifically, City Maintenance
Crews or City hired contractors will be digging to reestablish and
redefine ditch lines, ponding areas and cleaning the outlet of pipes on
or near your property. Multiple pieces of heavy equipment may be
necessary to perform this work.
This work is being done under emergency circumstances. All
material removed will be stockpiled on site and removed during the
winter months when additional work will be performed.
City crews will correct sod damage resulting from this activity. Any
trees needing removal have been marked with orange paint. Since
this is the only formal notice you will receive, I ask that you promptly
contact me if you have any questions or concerns at 763-509-5999 or
763-509-5950.
Sincerely,

SPORTS ONE v
Dear Mayor Johnson:
Baseball is one of America's favorite pastime activities. For most of us in the Midwest,
watching the Minnesota Twins play ball brings back a lot of wonderful memories.
Victory Sports wants to keep this favorite pastime in the hearts and in the homes of all
fans in your city — and the entire region.
As you may already know, Victory Sports is the official television carrier of Twins
baseball as well as regional college and high school sports Victory Sports kk.as
developed to televise Twins games and other Minnesota sports.
Over a year ago, our company made offers to cable and satellite companies in the upper
Midwest to carry Victory Sports on their expanded basic cable systems. Thus far, we are
pleased to partner with over 30 locally owned cable companies reaching over 200 area
communities. Unfortunately, the six nationally based cable and satellite companies
serving the Twin Cities and some other metro areas remain without contracts.
Victory Sports wholeheartedly welcomes Governor Pawlenty's call for the national cable
and satellite companies to join us in attempting to mediate a solution to the existing
impasse. We believe so strongly in the concept of mediation as a step to bringing Twins
TV to Twins fans that we have offered to provide Victory Sports programming, including
Twins games, free of charge to participating cable and satellite companies, during the
course of mediation. We need your voice to encourage the major cable conglomerates to
join us at the table with the assistance of a mediator
We are hoping that you will exert your influence with the cable company with which
your city has a contract. You have the power to help.
Sincerely,
Kevin Cattoor
President, Victory Sports One

SUBJECT: TRUNK WATERMAIN EXTENSIONS PROJECT
CITY PROJECT NO. 3124
Dear Plymouth Property Owner:
The City of Plymouth will be undertaking a project to extend trunk watermain to your area.
The general contractor is GM Contracting and the City's consulting engineer is TKDA.
The trunk watermain is being installed to cotulect two new water supply wells located on
Lancaster Lane at County Road 9 and Nathan Lane south of 45`h Avenue.
Construction crews from GM Contracting have already begun to mobilize construction
materials on the site. The project entails extending a trunk watennain along Old Rockford
Road from Lancaster Lane to Well No. 11 which is located east of Zachary Lane and south
of County Road 9. The trunk watermain will be directional bored from each direction and
be located under the north curb line of Old Rockford Road. The directional boring process
provides for minimal disruption of the area with open cuts of the ground only at three
points in the installation process. The three points will be at Well No. 11, the east side of
Lancaster Lane and a point west of Revere Lane on Old Rockford Road. Traffic using Old
Rockford Road between Revere Lane and Zachary Lane will be maintained at all times
during this construction process, which is estimated to take three to four weeks. If you
have any questions or concerns about this project, please call either Dan Campbell, Senior
Engineering Technician, at 763-509-5522 or Scott Brink, Project Engineer, with TKDA at
651-726-7904.
Sincerely,
Daniel K. Campbell

SUBJECT: TRUNK WATERMAIN EXTENSIONS PROJECT
(C.P. RAILWAY ALIGNTNIENT)
CITY PROJECT NO. 3124
Dear Plymouth Property Owner:
The City of Plymouth will be undertaking a project to extend trunk watermain and constrict a
storm drainage control structure between Larch Lane and Pineview Lane on the south side of the
Canadian Pacific railroad Right of Way. The general contractor for this project is GLI
Contracting and the City's consulting engineer is TKDA.
The trunk watermain is being constructed to provide better circulation of the City's overall water
system. The control structure will regulate storm water which flows in the ditch on the south
side of the railroad tracks to a pond located to the north of the railroad tracks. Construction
crews from GM Contracting will begin shortly to mobilize constriction materials along the trail
which connects Larch Lane to Pineview Lane. The watermain will be directional bored from a
point on the east side of Larch Lane. The directional boring process provides for minimal
disruption of the area with open cuts of the ground only at two points in the installation process.
The two points will be at Larch Lane and Pineview Lane where connections must be made to the
existing watermain. Traffic using Pineview Lane and Larch Lane will be maintained at all times
during this construction process which is estimated to take three to four weeks.
If you have any questions or concerns about this project, please call either Dan Campbell, Senior
Engineering Technician at 763-509-5522 or Scott Brink, Project Engineer with TKDA, at 651-
726-7904.

Daniel K. Campbell
