The final tally is in. One hundred and seventeen neighborhoods took part in Plymouth's National Night Out celebration this past Tuesday, August 3. "This year's National Night Out was Plymouth's largest event ever. Parties took place in every quadrant of the City and we estimate that more than 7,000 residents took part in the celebration," said Police Chief Mike Goldstein. "I sincerely want to thank and applaud the efforts that community organizers put into making this evening special for their neighbors. They made a difference," said Chief Goldstein. Police Officers, Firefighters, McGruff Truck Sponsors, and North Memorial Paramedics made their way throughout the City to visit with the community. Neighbors enjoyed ice-cream socials, build your own root beer floats, potluck dinners, desert swaps, grill outs, and pizza parties. Activities like coloring contests, scavenger hunts, bike parades, live music, petting zoos, parades, moon walks, trivia contests, bingo, recipe swaps, face painting, fire extinguisher training, CPR and first aid demonstrations brought people of all ages together. In conjunction with NNO, many neighborhoods help to raise donations of nonperishable foods and back to school supplies for Interfaith Outreach and Prism. More than 2,000 pounds of food, 500 pounds of school supplies, and gifts of money were donated. The day after NNO, Public Works and Park and Recreation picked up these donations throughout the community. "Caring neighbors make strong communities. To everyone that made NNO a success, thank you," said Chief Goldstein. � q1 If your neighborhood did not take part in NNO, but would like to receive information by mail for next year's NNO, please call the Police Department at 763-509-5198. startribune.com Close window Last update: August 9, 2004 at 12:07 PM St. Louis Park seeks a place where dogs can cut loose Ben Steverman Star Tribune Published August 11, 2004 Dog owners who want a place where their pets can run free and socialize with other dogs are getting their wish in Plymouth, Carver County and elsewhere. But they are running into obstacles -- in the form of apprehensive neighbors -- in St. Louis Park. After neighbors blocked two off -leash dog park locations in St. Louis Park, the city last month opened a dog park at a temporary location at the Bass Lake Preserve at W. 36th St. and Beltline Blvd. The city -owned property is slated for eventual development, so the dog park might only stay there for a year or two, Parks and Recreation Director Cindy Walsh said. Walsh's problem in finding room for a dog park is that St. Louis Park is a fully developed community without the acres of open space available in an area like northwest Plymouth, where the highly popular Egan Park off -leash area opened last year. "In St. Louis Park, we're never going to find a remote site," she said. The Bass Lake site did not create much concern because it is surrounded by mostly commercial development rather than residential areas. Neighbors of the other two proposed sites had said they were worried about more traffic, barking dogs and the possibility that dogs could escape. St. Louis Park dog owners said the new dog park will demonstrate that neighbors' concerns are unfounded. The two permanent park proposals, on the east side of Victoria Lake and on the west side of the Carlson baseball field in Cedar Knoll Park, are not "off the board," and either might be considered again later, Walsh said. Dog parks, like other park amenities such as boat launches and skateboard parks, serve a legitimate and growing need, said Barb Heideman, the executive director of Responsible Owners of Mannerly Pets (ROMP), a group that pushes for more dog parks in the metropolitan area. Heideman said that dog parks are successful, both in relatively rural areas and in cities like Minneapolis and St. Paul, because dog owners make sure they stay clean and that users follow the rules. "These are people who actually take time out of their days to go exercise and take very good care of their dogs," she said. "People have an idea that [dog parks] are going to attract scary guys with pit bulls, and that's not the case." Doggie heaven St. Louis Park resident Livia Babcock's golden retriever loves to go to the park to play with other dogs. At the park, she said, dogs benefit, but the people do too: Dog owners love to socialize with each other. "There's a lot of eyes on us, so we make sure we pick up after our pets," said Bill James, another St. Louis Park dog owner. A well -socialized dog is also better with children and less likely to hurt anyone, dog owner Meghan Phimister said. "We have never seen an aggressive dog at a dog park," she said. Though some neighbors were concerned about loud noise from barking, Heideman said dogs at parks are too busy sniffing and running around to bark. Paul Heim, the president of a Victoria Ponds townhouse association near the Victoria Lake, said his neighbors weren't concerned about more dogs in the neighborhood: Many people in the townhouse association are dog owners themselves. Rather, he was concerned about adding traffic to an already busy Virginia Avenue. A parking lot at the site is often full, and neighbors are worried that the only place for dog park users to park is the narrow, private streets of the 72 -unit development, he said. Walsh said city staff would monitor the new park to see if dog owners' positive predictions come true. The city could then return to other neighborhoods with better information about dog behavior and traffic patterns, she said. St. Louis Park dog owners said the new park is gradually attracting more users as people learn about it and buy permits, which are $15 for residents and $30 for nonresidents for the rest of the year. About 40 permits have been purchased so far. Plymouth's Egan Park has become so popular with dog owners that the city has had to double the size of the parking lot, according to Superintendent of Parks Mark Peterson. Unlike parks in St. Louis Park, Minneapolis and Three Rivers Park District, Plymouth's park does not require the purchase of a permit. Also unlike other parks, the Plymouth site uses natural landscaping, not fences, to keep dogs inside the area's paths and fields. A new dog park of 10 to 15 acres is being considered for Carver County's Lake Minnewashta Regional Park, Parks Director Marty Walsh said. Most users probably would come from nearby communities, so the county is asking Chanhassen, Victoria, Waconia and Shorewood to consider contributing money to help create the park. The Three Rivers Park District, which covers Scott County and suburban Hennepin County, has run an off -leash dog park at the Elm Creek Park Reserve in Dayton since 1983. The district also runs dog parks at Cleary Lake Park near Prior Lake, Lake Sarah Park near Rockford and Crow -Hassan Park"near Rogers.

Review of stormwater management plan for a school development on a 15.4 acre site located on 47th Avenue North between Idaho and Louisiana Avenues. A complete project review was received on June 1, 2004. The project review fee has been received. The proposed project involves the construction of an elementary school building on an existing 15.4 acre site. Following completion, approximately 33% of the site will be converted to impervious area. Runoff from the 5.01 acres of impervious areas will be routed to a proposed stormwater pond that has not been designed to meet Commission water quality standards. The School District has requested a variance for safety reasons associated with standing water on the school grounds. The pond discharges north into the City of Crystal's storm sewer system which outlets into Upper Twin Lake. The site meets Commission requirements for rate control for 2, 10 and 100 -year events. According to National Wetlands Inventory (NW I) there are no wetlands associated with this site. The City is the WCA LGU for this project. According to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Protect Waters Inventory (PWI) there are no Protected Waters located on-site. Lowest floor elevations have been specified which satisfy Commission 1 -foot freeboard requirements. A detailed Erosion Control Plan satisfying Commission requirements has not been received. Adequate infiltration has been provided to meet Commission standards. Natural watercourses do not exist on the property. The City of Crystal confirmed that adjacent property owners have been notified of the proposed project. Per a telephone conversation with the Applicant's engineer, the School District has provided documentation of the following: addition of an additional length of drain tile in the pond, reduction in the size of the orifice in the outlet structure from 12" to 6" diameter, addition of silt fence around the stormwater pond at the 893' contour, and updated drawings and calculations to reflect these changes. Motion by Cooper, second by Abbey to notify the City of Crystal that approval of SC2004-11 is tabled pending receipt of following: Receipt of revised plans and calculations cited above. 2.

The meeting is scheduled for Thursday, August 26, 2004, beginning at 6:30 p.m. at the Plymouth Creek Center located at 3650 Plymouth Boulevard. The City's design engineer, Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik & Assoc. will be in attendance to give a brief presentation followed by a question and answer period. We will also have perspective drawings available for viewing and comment showing the proposed pump house facility, buried reservoir and an expansion of the existing pond in the northwest corner of the site. This project is a necessary part of the City's Comprehensive Water Supply, Storage and Distribution Plan. It will consist of a totally buried six million gallon water storage reservoir and above ground pumping station. We are proposing that the pumping station be housed in a facility that will be designed to resemble a residential home and will be located on the easterly side of the site with access off of Vicksburg Lane. There are no plans for any recreational uses of this site although we will be reserving the southern one third of the five acre site for a potential future fire station. Our proposed schedule for the Vicksburg reservoir and pumping station project anticipates some site grading this fall with the actual project to begin in the spring of 2005 and completed by the end of 2005 with landscaping to be done in early 2006. We look forward to visiting with you at our public information meeting but if you cannot make the meeting and have questions or wish to look at the perspective drawings you can either stop by the Engineering Division counter located at City Hall or call me directly at 763-509-5520 or Brian Young, Sewer and Water Supervisor at 763-509-5992.

On July 16, 2004, your department responded to a 911 call from a concerned citizen reporting the escaped detainee. The Plymouth Police responded to this call and assisted Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the capture of the above named suspect. Your Emergency Response Unit assisted in the search for the escaped detainee. The handcuffed subject escaped into a difficult terrain. This area contained heavily wooded areas and a swamp. The State Highway Patrol helicopter responded and assisted but could not locate the suspect because of the cover. Minneapolis Police also assisted with their K-9 unit, until the K-9 was physically exhausted because of the difficult terrain. A second civilian bloodhound was brought in to assist in the continued tracking of the suspect. After approximately a four -and -a -half-hour man hunt the detainee was captured. The Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) credits your department with the successful capture of this detainee because of its quick response and willingness to assist. The tragic events of September 11, 2001, have made us more prepared as first responders to critical incidents such as these. I would like to commend you, the officers of Plymouth Police Department, and all others involved in this critical incident. This continued cooperative mind -set among agencies will hopefully set the standard for future critical incidents. Again ICE cannot thank everyone involved enough for their assistance in the capture of Victor Manuel TREVINO-Gutierrez. In closing, I would like to inform you that the suspect was presented Chief, Michael Goldstein Page 2 to the Grand Jury last week and we feel confident that a federal judge will hand down an indictment for escape and re-entry after deportation. Of course none of this would be taking place today if not for the bravery and diligence of all involved. Sincerel , cott R. Baniecke Field Office Director R o O NCD b rbc Ny b A.
