The city's police department has recommended banning the use of snowmobiles everywhere but on frozen lakes, a state trail that runs along Hwy. 55 and private property with permission of the owner. Police Chief Mike Goldstein said Plymouth, with almost 70,000 residents, is not a rural community anymore, and has very little open space. "Today things have changed and we need to stay ahead of the change," he said. Snowmobile rules need to be tightened because of safety concerns, he said, but there are also other reasons. The police department also has received several complaints about snowmobile noise and damage to fences and shrubbery, Goldstein said. Currently, snowmobilers are allowed, with written permission of 70 percent of their neighbors, to access trails by riding along local streets. Only a few snowmobile users have taken advantage of this option, said Barb Cox, the police department spokeswoman. Under the new proposal, no snowmobiles would be allowed on roads, and snowmobiles would be banned from all trails except the state trail along Hwy. 55 between Fernbrook Avenue to the western city limits. Rob Bell, president of the Northwest Trail Association, which maintains snowmobile trails in the northwest suburbs, said the new regulations go too far. Bell said it's probably inevitable that as development occurs, snowmobiling will be restricted. But, he said, "Any regulations or ordinances that come out of it should be balanced. It should also allow people to find ways to do things in a responsible manner." Plymouth's proposal would be a major inconvenience for owners of snowmobiles, Bell said. It would make it almost impossible for many riders in Plymouth to have access to the trails without the use of a trailer. But Plymouth resident Terrie Christian, who lives on Medicine Lake, said the police need to crack down on snowmobile use. "They're using the area down here as a race track," she said, adding that riders illegally come off the lake, across a regional trail and around a city park near her home. Snowmobiles make a lot of noise, damage the trail and park land and make residents afraid to use the trail during the winter for fear of getting run over by a snowmobile, she said. Calling police hasn't been much help. "By the time anybody gets here for enforcement, they're already gone," she said. Goldstein acknowledged that it's tough for police officers to catch snowmobiles. One option is to follow tracks back to a violator's home, he said. A better option is to educate residents about snowmobile regulations so they don't violate the law in the first place, he said. Bell said his group works to educate people about proper use of snowmobiles. "It's a big responsibility of parents to teach their children how to drive responsibly," he said. ,,, Cop}'right 2004 Star Tribune.

THE CHALLENGE: Plymouth's growing population of almost 70,000 people has put a strain on the city's water system. On dry days during the summers of 2003 and 2001, the city ran out of water and had to borrow from neighboring Maple Grove's supply. THE SUMMER: Treatment plants provide about 20 million gallons a day, which isn't enough for dry summer days when residents use a lot of water, mostly for their lawns. Thanks to plentiful rainfall, the city hasn't had to rely on Maple Grove water so far this year. THE PLAN: The city is spending $26 million to increase the water system's capacity to 28 million gallons a day. THE WELLS: Two new wells are being drilled near County Rd. 9. THE TANK: Plans are underway for a large storage reservoir to be built on a five -acre lot near Vicksburg Lane N. and Schmidt Lake Rd. A public meeting is planned for later this month to notify residents of what the tank will look like. Most of it will be buried in the side of a small hill. The city chose to build the tank rather than two new water towers in Plymouth. THE PLANTS: On July 27, the City Council approved plans to upgrade the Zachary Water Treatment Plant and replace the Central Treatment Plant. THE FUTURE: Added water capacity should be on line by March 2005, in time to help cope with dry weather next summer. The new facilities are expected to meet Plymouth's needs until at least 2020.

BASSETT CREEK WATER MANAGEMENT COMMISSION John O'Toole, Chair P:\23\27\051\p1an\90-Day Review\Legal notice for 2005 CIP projects.doc 5� DATE: August 3, 2004 TO: Laurie Ahrens, City Manager, Dale Hahn, Finance/IT Director FROM: Jeff Hohenstein, IT Manager SUBJECT: HIGH SPEED WIRELESS INTERNET SERVICE As a follow-up to our discussion on Friday, July 3Wh I am reporting back my research findings on the feasibility of providing high-speed wireless Internet services throughout the City. Background: The City of Chaska started its own high-speed wireless Internet service in 2004 (See attached memo and article). This service uses technology that is 10 times faster than dial- up connection, which is comparable to DSL or cable. Chaska invested $600,000 to setup and configure this wireless service. The City of Chaska will face several challenges as this technology rapidly changes in the coming months and years. The most significant challenge Chaska will face in the next 12 to 18 months will be technology obsolescence. The technology Chaska implemented for $600,000 will likely be obsolete by a much more robust high-speed technology in 2005 called WiMAX technology (based on IEEE 802.16 standard). The benefits of the new WiMAX technology are tremendous. • WiMAX offers speeds of up to 75 Mb/sec • WiMAX systems can be used to transmit signal as far as 30 miles. The City of Chaska will face a substantial capital outlay to upgrade their system to WiMAX or face technological obsolescence if they choose not to. Recommendation: I recommend that we hold on the investment in high-speed wireless service until 2006 for several reasons: • First and foremost the WiMAX technology benefits. WiMAX is scheduled to come into the market place mid -2005. WiMAX offers substantially more robust high-speed wireless service than wireless technology available in today's market place. • WiMAX technology will allow us to setup and maintain far fewer devices than existing wireless technology options. This will substantially reduce the ongoing operating costs for this type of service. With the new WiMAX technology, the City's internal operations will benefit as well as our citizens and businesses if we choose to offer wireless services to the public in the future. For Example: • Citizens, businesses and internal employees will benefit from faster speeds. • Most wireless devices such as cellular phones could be replaced with the new IP Phones resulting in substantial cost savings. • This technology will help us achieve our vision for a wireless workforce (Police Officers, Fire Fighters, Inspectors, Appraisers, Maintenance Workers, etc.) • This technology will make connecting our remote facilities feasible (Fire Stations, Park Facilities, Water Treatment Plants, Water Towers, Lift Stations, and others) This technology may also enable us to consider remote meter reading to streamline our utility billing operations. My recommendation is that we hold on investing in wireless technology until 2006. This will allow us time to review the WiMAX technology and develop a City-wide wireless strategic plan and budget to support our internal operations, our citizens and local businesses. 33 DATE: May 6, 2004 TO: Laurie Ahrens, City Manager FROM: Helen Laf-ave, ommunications Manager SUBJECT: Chaska's High Specd Wireless Internet Service Following a call you received from Plymouth resident Lois Klobuchar, you asked me to check with the City of Chaska to learn more about the high speed wireless Internet service that it is developing for residents. I spoke with Chaska's IS Manager Brad Mayer and learned the following. Additional information is also available at Chaska.net. Bottom Line First, the bottom line — the City of Chaska, serving as an Internet service provider, expects to be ready to provide high-speed wireless access to residents sometime this summer. The service will cost residents $15.99 per month. How They Got There The City of Chaska has a history of serving as a public utility, specifically as an electric utility. About five years ago, the City of Chaska expanded its public utility services to become an Internet service provider. It did this because the school district needed a higher level of Internet service. With the school district's needs settled, the City began to look at the option of expanding its fiber Internet service to businesses. It did so in response to requests from businesses that did not have access to Internet service or that thought it was too expensive. Ultimately, the City built a fiber network to service businesses. About two years ago, the City made the decision to become a high-speed wireless Internet service provider for businesses. Chaska's business network serves Chaska as well as surrounding communities -- from Norwood -Young America on the west to Shakopee on the east. ��r With the business service in place, the City is expanding its Internet utility to provide high-speed wireless service to residents. Specifics of the Residential Service The goal is to provide high-speed wireless service to residents in the city. The City does not hope to or expect to generate revenue through this venture. They expect to break even. The residential infrastructure consists of about 200 nodes mounted on light poles and telephone poles. (Some of the nodes are connected to the wired Internet infrastructure.) The City's electric department installs the nodes. Residents who want the wireless service will get a wireless modem from the city so that they may receive service. Again, they expect this service to be available some time this summer. They expect about 2,000 of 6,000 potential users to sign up. Residential Cost The initial capital investment in the residential wireless system is about S600,000. The City expects to have that paid back in four years. Staffing The City worked with contractors on setting up the backend of the wireless system. However, the day-to-day management of the system has been handled by Chaska's two IS staff members. With the residential wireless coming online, Mr. Mayer expects he will need to hire 1.5 additional IS staff members. Much of this additional time will be devoted to customer support. Miscellaneous ■ Mr. Mayer emphasized that Chaska took on this new utility incrementally — "baby steps." The fact that the City is competing with the private sector up has not been an issue to this point. Mr. Mayer said that was largely due to the fact that in serving businesses, the City was serving organizations that were unserved by the private sector. He expects that will be more of an issue with the residential component, but he said that those concerns are being handled by the city manager and city council. Mr. Mayer offered to meet with the Plymouth City Council if they are interested in learning more about Chaska's Internet public utility. �b -3 6 `Bye Bye Birdie' on stage PAGE 20 P. �oics sr TATA& wEsnsm ementary, showed the r eat corn on the cob. ated steering wheel.- Pistulka A.

Faulkner, P.E., Director of Public Works SUBJECT: SUMP PUMP DISCHARGE CONCERN A residential sump pump discharge item is on the Council's request for study session per a concern expressed by Councilmember Slavik. She has received complaints from residents relating to sump pump discharge onto their property. The purpose of this memo is to address the sump pump discharge issue. Due to the nature of Plymouth's clay soils, adjacent water bodies and often times "perched" ground water, many residential properties have sump pumps that run rather frequently. It is also sometimes difficult for a resident to discharge their sump pump without having some negative impact on their downstream neighbor. Drainage law indicates that you cannot change preexisting drainage patterns from one property to another unless this water is conveyed through a public drainage system or in a drainage easement. While the strict interpretation of this law would imply that anyone's sump pump discharge should either go into a public storm sewer or should be conveyed down property line easements, some type of damage to the downstream property would likely need to be proven before a change could be forced on the upstream property owner. In discussing this issue with City Attorney Knutson, he has indicated we could develop regulations governing sump pump discharge, but this could become a very onerous process for City staff to coordinate and enforce and solutions may be cost prohibitive at times. Currently, the City's engineering staff provides technical expertise to residents upon request regarding sump pump issues. Typically, there are relatively minor adjustments that can be made to resolve these concerns. This would include such things as redirecting the discharge in a pipe if necessary, from back to front such that the drain is conveyed toward the street rather than toward an adjacent neighbor. Over the years, engineering staff has coordinated residential drainage improvement between neighboring properties. Some of these projects have included the installation of drain 40 SUBJECT: SUMP PUMP DISCHARGE CONCERN Page 2 tile and/or rock drains, typically paid for by the residents. In addition, for several years, as part of our street reconstruction projects, we have installed drain tile along the street edges with lateral stubs and a surface drain box for residents that inform us of the need for a sump pump discharge collection system. It is my recommendation that we continue with our current process of providing staff assistance rather than developing an ordinance that we would need to administer and enforce. Our Senior Engineering Technician, Dave Taylor, is the primary contact person who works with residents regarding sump pump drainage issues. We do realize though, that there may be an occasional situation where property owners decide not to work together to resolve their common drainage issue, and at that point we inform the affected residents that the matter is one of a civil nature, which may need to be resolved through the legal system. cc: Laurie Ahrens, City Manager '8 6 04.doc O:\Engiraring\GENER.AL\MEMOS\DANF2004lSumpPumpConarn_ _ _ MINUTES COMMUNITIES IN COLLABORATION COUNCIL JUNE 10, 2004 Next Meeting: August 12, 2004 (No Meeting in July) PRESENT: Brenda Heim, Ramona Steadman, Kim Erickson-Heiar, Bev Coyne, Linnea Christensen, Paul Beilfuss, Kristina Korsmo, Gretchen Alford, Carter Peterson, Cindy Carlson, LaDonna Hoy, Sandy Hewitt, Sergeant Curtis Smith, Marcia Treno, Jim Brandl, Donna Marget, and Carol Bergenstal WELCOME Brenda welcomed Gretchen Alford, Hennepin County School Success Program, to the CICC! MINUTES The May minutes were accepted as written. ALLIANCE UPDATE May Alliance Meeting o John Lobben, District 287, provided the School Outlook and Dan Engstrom, Human Services Department, provided the County Outlook for the coming year. In both cases, funding reductions will impact programs. o The remainder of the meeting was spent in small groups focused on setting the Alliance county -wide priorities for 2004-05. Information gained from this process will be developed into a plan over the summer and sent back for review and approval at the September Alliance meeting. CICC 2004-06 GOALS A task force of the CICC (Brenda Heim, Bev Coyne, Kim Erickson-Heiar, Johanna Eckman, Carol Bergenstal --- and anyone else who is interested!) will meet June 29 and July 22 to develop specific outcome measurements for the CICC's 2004-06 goals. The task force will also create a calendar for the CICC's meetings in the coming school year to allow us to address each priority, hear feedback and updates on specific issues, and provide input on a timely basis. LCTSFUNDS Local LCTS Grants Donna Marget explained that, after further review by school staff, the LCTS funds allocated for in-home family counseling (presented at the May CICC meeting) will be directed to the Storefront Group in the coming school year. She pointed out that the need for these kinds of services always exceed the resources available. The school district personnel (social workers, counselors, etc.) work hard to connect the families most in need of help with the services available. District 287 LCTS Mental Health Projects Donna also reviewed the Mental Health Projects supported by District 287 LCTS funds. It is anticipated that all of the projects underway will continue, with the possible exception of Early Childhood Daycare Prevention and Early Intervention provided through Family Networks, Inc. (REAL Program). This decision will be made very soon. TEEN BEHAVIOR AT CITY CENTER o Sandy Hewitt and Curtis Smith reported that the City of Plymouth will allocate resources this summer, as available, to address the safety issues at City Center regarding teen behavior. Curtis explained that much of the problem is nuisance related --- youth acting inappropriately. o The Safety Initiative Brochure will not be distributed at this time, and the police will continue to respond to calls, as needed. o It was agreed that teen behavior at City Center is a community concern, not just a concern for the City of Plymouth or the police. o Sandy shared the results of a recent public opinion survey taken in Plymouth that shows concern about youth crimes and vandalism is growing. o Sandy also shared information about the wide variety of teen programming that will be available through Plymouth Park & Recreation this summer. o Additional suggested steps to address the issue at City Center include: ➢ Publish an article in the local press (Sun Sailor, etc.) regarding the safety issues for youth and inappropriate youth behavior that are present at City Center. ➢ Publish information in the Communicator and individual school newsletters to call parents' attention to the issues with youth behavior at City Center. ➢ Publish similar information in the City of Plymouth's newsletter and the City's web site. ➢ Broadcast information about curfews, etc., on local cable networks. ➢ Share information about options for youth activities at the Ridgedale and Northwest YMCAs, Plymouth Creek Center, etc. ➢ Suggest to merchants that specific training be provided to young employees who may be faced with unruly patrons who are the same age as the employees. ➢ Make sure that an older manager is on duty at critical times when large numbers of youth are most likely to patronize a particular business establishment. 2 43 ➢ Ask the Mann Theater to include a promotion in their pre -movie ads that, in a cheerful way, draws parents' attention to the issues at City Center. ➢ Encourage ALL adults in our community to confront youth who exhibit inappropriate behavior in public --- and to compliment youth when they are well behaved! Hennepin County Library Linnea Christensen explained that the library is concerned by the growing number of children who are dropped off at the library and left, unsupervised, for long periods of time. She pointed out that the library staff is extremely busy and cannot be responsible for the safety of these children. She is concerned that the library's policy to allow children as young as seven to be left unattended may have unintended consequences. EXPANDED SOMALI PROJECT Kris Korsmo explained that a small task force composed of herself, Bev Coyne, Judy O'Regan (from Learning Link), Courtney Johnson (from IOCP), and Carol Bergenstal have investigated additional services that may be available to enhance the school success of Somali children in our community. Thanks to Judy, connections have made with Family Networks, Inc. which has County funds available to provide pre-school classes and parenting classes at Lakeview Commons, where many Somali families live. The program is set to begin next week and will offer 2 pre-school classes, for up to 6 children in each class, two times a week. The goal of the program will be to help Somali children be better prepared to begin kindergarten. Parenting classes will be offered approximately twice a month. Grant support is being sought to cover the cost of translators for the parenting classes. The Plymouth Lions have expressed interest. UNITED WAY'S "211" The United Way has provided the CICC with specific information about the services they provide. In addition they have provided application forms for us to use to provide United Way with information about services in our community with which they may not be familiar. Donna Marget, Fran Beard and Carol will meet on June 21 to review potential additional resources from the Wayzata School District service area for "211" and ways to share "211" services with our community. REMINDER!! ➢ CASH Grant Deadline: 4:30 PM on June 18, 2004 ➢ Federal Mentoring Grant Deadline: July 7, 2004 The meeting was adjourned at 5:00 PM.

Plymouth, MN 55441 Subject: Short -Term Safety Concerns at the NEC of Northwest Blvd and County Road 9 Creek Storm Water and Erosion Control Dear Margie, This letter will serve to follow up our recent phone call, and other communications regarding the creek near the above subject location. Please consider me as your contact for further concerns regarding this area. As per your memo of July 14, 2004 (copy attached), Public Works Director Dan Faulkner contacted our City Attorney and reviewed additional information on this area. Our mutual goal is to assure awareness of the eroded area while more permanent erosion solutions are addressed. I walked the area last week with Scott Newberger of our Public Works Maintenance Department and observed the conditions. As you indicated, a joint agency effort appears to be the best means to resolve all concerns. The City's Medicine Lake Watershed subcommittee is currently working on our long-range design goals for this area, and is closely coordinating with other agencies. G Based on what Scott Newberger and I observed, we feel the best "short term" solution is to provide signage along the West side of the trail, directing people to stay away from the creek while solutions are being developed. We are considering placing signs about 30' West of the trail and spaced about 100' apart. In order not to detract from the beauty of the area, the signs would be informational in design and done in neutral colors. To goal is to advise all to stay away from the creek. As other concerns arise, please feel free to call me anytime at (763) 509-5524. Looking forward to meeting you in person.

I commented that the easement granted by the Park District to the City for this property establishes the City's acceptance of the liability for the property both directly and incidental to the City's use of the property. I shared with you the same comment that the Park District made to Plymouth City Council Members on June 22 - that Park District staff had observed evidence of children playing in the area and that the Park District's Board and staff were concerned because of the depth of the gorge, unstable banks in some spots caused by the erosion, and presence of water. During our conversation, you inquired as to what I thought should be done. I responded that in my opinion it would be appropriate for you to check with the City attorney as to how you wanted to proceed, since it is a City liability issue. I would appreciate your letting us know if and when you will be proceeding with the placement of any safety measures in this area. As I mentioned to you, the Park District would be open to assisting with labor, if needed, to facilitate this work in a timely manner. - - Thanks for continuing to be involved in working on solutions to this growing concern. I can be contacted directly at 763-559-6746. C: Douglas F.

The letter included the following statement: "The Commission requests that the member cities as soon as possible begin discussing a long-term strategy for funding capital improvement projects and special studies such as TMDLs and resource management plans. The Commission requests that this strategy be developed and in place by Spring 2005 for the development of the 2006 budget and capital improvement program" The letter goes on to suggest specific items for discussion (copy enclosed). My question is quite simple — Is your city interested in attending a meeting to discuss these issues? Each city could send one elected official and one appointed official to a meeting for an initial discussion. The commissioners of the Shingle Creek Watershed Management Commission could also be invited to attend. Plymouth would be glad to host a meeting, but would also be happy to travel to one of your communities if you are interested in hosting. Could you please give me a call at 763-509-5051 or by e-mail LahrensPci.nlymouth.mrims to let me know your thoughts. If we determine that everyone is willing to meet, we can then determine where and when.

Trunk Highway 36 St. Paul, MN 55113 SUBJECT: MEDICINE LAKE WATER QUALITY POND PROJECT CITY PROJECT NO. 2037 Dear Mr. Brasch: I am responding to your June 1, 2004 letter concerning the budget for the above noted project and our subsequent conversations. As you indicate in your letter, there were indeed several additional items that the City requested BRA to address during the design of the Medicine Lake Water Quality Pond project. As you will recall, I had previously approved a $10,000 increase in the design budget from $35,000 to $45,000. Your June 1 letter/request was to approve payment for design services in the amount of $18,670.35 above the previously approved increase to $45,000. As I verbally indicated to you, I am agreeable to paying this additional amount for design work completed. Also as you will recall, BRA's original proposal for this project through the completion of construction, totaled $88,500. While I have now approved an increase in the design portion of the proposal from the original amount of $35,000 to $63,670, I am hopeful that the construction observation and completion of as -built plans, etc., will be less than the original proposal of $29,000. My concern is with the final amount of engineering costs for this project rather than the cost of phases. I do understand that there were a lot of unknowns going into this project and BRA has been responsive to the City's requests. At the completion of the project, I would appreciate receiving a summary of your additional engineering efforts and costs. The City is looking forward to the completion of this project which is well underway. Sincerely, Daniel L. Faulkner, P.E. Director of Public Works cc: Laurie Ahrens, City Manager Ronald S.

I believe it frames the issues quite well. Please keep us advised of the progress of the response protocol as it develops. As we discussed at our meeting, the primary responsibility for responding to unusual occurrences at the ACF has rested with the Sheriff's Office since the late 1970's. As to the neighborhood notification system, ACF staff has met with representatives of Qwest who demonstrated their Emergency Preparedness Network. If we are only looking at the community notification piece, the initial cost would be $16,500 as a one-time system charge. Along with that would be a monthly maintenance cost of approximately five cents per phone line (example: 1,000 phone numbers = $50 per month). Finally, there would be an actual use charged based on the length of the message sent and number of phone lines beginning at 0.46 per month. Using 1,000 phone numbers, that would equal $460.00 for a one -minute message. As you stated in your letter, the Plymouth Council is anxious to see this project implemented as our several members of our County Board of Commissioners. Therefore, I would suggest that the City of Plymouth and the ACF split the initial cost of $16,500 with 'the ACF picking up the other charges outlined above. Please advise. I look forward to working with you in the future. Sincerely, -- c Sigmund L.

Fine Corrections Administrator Hennepin County Department of Community Corrections C-2353 Government Center 300 South Sixth Street Minneapolis, MN 55487-0533 RE: Hennepin County Workhouse — Response Protocol and Neighborhood Notification Dear Mr. Fine: On behalf of the City of Plymouth, I would like to thank you for the opportunity to meet with you and your staff last week. The information that you shared was interesting and useful. Upon further contemplation, I am proposing the following strategy to create a successful collaborative effort to address the multiple issues that we discussed. While I understand, support, and appreciate the impetus of our initial correspondence that addressed the re-establishment of a neighborhood notification system (telephone tree), the escape on Sunday, June 6, 2004, was a catalyst to expedite this issue and to consider other concerns. After directly responding to the escape, I was perplexed by the lack of coordination between Workhouse staff, the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office, and our department. My observations identified a significant problem and elevated my concerns about a proper response protocol for an escaped prisoner. As a result, the paramount issue was to create an agreed upon protocol to address the command and control aspects of an escape. From our meeting, it was made clear that upon an escape from the Workhouse's property, Workhouse staff has no command responsibility, and prefers to maintain a support role during these rare events. I have contacted Inspector Bill Chandler from the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office to also address this concern. Inspector Chandler has assigned Captain Ken Schilling from the Sheriff's Office to work with our department's staff to develop this important response protocol. The Sheriff's Office will assume direct control, and we, like you, will act in a support role. The unresolved issue is the neighborhood notification system. Again, the City of Plymouth is willing to work in a support role with your staff on this issue. At this point, it is my PLYMOUTH Adding Quality to Life 3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD • PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447-1482 • TELEPHONE (763) 509-5000 �I www.d.plymouth.mn.us recommendation for the City to create, mail, and collect personal contact information from nearby residents and forward that data to your staff. Hennepin County should have the capability to establish: a fax alert, an email subscriber alert, and/or the automated telephone notification system. The City of Plymouth is willing to maintain an updated database, but believes that the implementation of this technology is the responsibility of the Hennepin County Workhouse. I look forward to beginning this important project in conjunction with Hennepin County to enhance the Workhouse's neighboring community's safety and security. I know that our City Council is anxious to see this project implemented. At a recent study session, our City Council met with Hennepin County Commissioners Penny Steele and Mark Stenglein who also offered their support for this project. As soon as you indicate that you are ready for the collected data, I will forward it to your staff. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at 763.509.5129. Thank you for your understanding and consideration. Sincerely, Michael S.

RE: City of Plymouth — Medina Road Comprehensive Plan Amendment - Waiver Metropolitan Council Referral File No. 18208-22 Metropolitan Council District 1 (Roger Scherer, 612-627-0810) Dear Ms. Senness: The Metropolitan Council received the City's Medina Road plan amendment on July 20, 2004. The amendment proposes to delete the future segment of Medina Road between Vicksburg and Dunkirk Lanes from the City's Transportation Plan. At its May 24, 2000 regular meeting, the governing body of the COLl11CI I identified certain types of local comprehensive plan amendments that may be reviewed by Council staff without further formal review by the governing body of the Council. Council staff applied the plan review waiver criteria established by the Council's governing body and finds that the amendment is in conformance with metropolitan system plans, consistent with the Regional Development Framework, and has no impact on the plans of other units of local govennrlent. Therefore, the Council will waive further review and the City may place this amendment into effect. However, staff offers the following advisory comments: The Medina Road Transportation study recommended that the future Medina Road connection between Vicksburg and Dunkirk Lanes be maintained, in part because it is important to have a good network of supporting roadways along TH 55 to facilitate access and accommodate the local traffic needs of business and residents. A Medina Road connection would also provide an alternative to local streets being used for cut -through trips between Vicksburg and Dunkirk Lanes as well as reduce travel times for emergency vehicles. A current TH 55 study is looking at re -designating the functional classification of the highway from an "A" minor arterial to a principal arterial. If that were to happen, Medina Road could potentially serve as an "A" Minor reliever arterial to TH 55. The connection between Vicksburg and Dunkirk would be needed to provide a continuous reliever route. Therefore, it is advisable that the City not preclude the eventual possibility that Medina Road be connected between Vicksburg and Dunkirk Lanes. 5. www.metrocouncil.org 5 Metro Info Line 602-1888 230 East Fifth Street • St. Paul, Minnesota 55101-1626 • (651) 602-1000 • Fax 602-1550 • TTY 291-0904 An Equal Opportunity Employer July 30, 2004 Barbara Senness - Page 2 of 2 ----- - ---- - - - The amendment, explanatory materials supplied and the information submission form will be appended to the City's Plan in the Council's files.
