M \ Z startribune.com Close window Last update: September 2, 2004 at 10:04 AM Plymouth play promises novel style, setting Christina Preiss Star Tribune Published September 8, 2004 A new stage and a different kind of theater will be unveiled next weekend when Plymouth Community Theatre opens its production of "Sleeping Beauty." The show is the first at Plymouth Creek Center's recently completed Black Box Theatre stage. The show's director, Linda Reid, said that the space has "the most fabulous equipment," including a new lighting and sound system. "It's state of the art," Reid said. "There's not much theater in Plymouth. People should see and experience this new venue." Reid, a native of Manchester, England, has lived in Plymouth for the past 18 months. She got involved with Plymouth Community Theatre after seeing a notice that it was seeking board members. This is Reid's first time directing in the United States, and she's brought a new form of theater with her: British pantomime, or "panto," theater. Panto theater, Reid said, is a British theatrical tradition. It is a Christmas -time show with jokes centered around the holiday. "Sleeping Beauty" will present a form of panto theater, with local jokes and references woven into the story line. "It's a family show and very entertaining," Reid said. "Anyone from 2 to 102 will think it's very funny." The performance calls for some audience participation, though Reid said nobody will be picked on or singled out. Audiences will recognize modern music from artists such as Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley. Among the cast of 21, a majority of the actors are from Plymouth. "Sleeping Beauty" is Plymouth Community Theatre's third production. A holiday show also is being planned. Christina Preiss is at cpreissAstartribirne.com m Copyright 2004 Star Tribune.

This Plan will guide the County in developing and managing solid waste programs for the next 20 years and contains specific outcomes, initiatives and strategies the County will implement in the next six years. The County is seeking input on the draft Plan from our partners in managing solid waste and other interested parties. A copy of the draft Plan is available on the County website for review and comment. Simply go to w-ww.hennepin.mn.us and search on the keywords: Draft Master Plan. Instructions on how to submit informal comments are available on the web page. If you would to receive a copy of the document in an alternate form such as on a CD or a printed copy, please call Paul Kroening at (612)348- 6358. Comments on the Plan must be received by September 22, 2004. A Public Hearing to seek formal comment on the Plan will be held by the County Board of Commissioners in mid-October. The County Board is expected to approve the Plan subsequent to the hearing at which time it will be combined with a Regional Solid Waste Master Plan being jointly developed by metro counties and submitted to the State for approval.

Stat. Section 103B.231, Subdivision 9 MANAGEMENT PLAN Whereas, the Bassett Creek Water Management Cominission (BCWMC) serving as the board of the Bassett Creek Watershed Management Organization submitted a Second Generation Watershed Management Plan (Plan) to the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources (Board) pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Section 103B.231, Subd. 9, and; Whereas, the Board has completed its review of the Plan; Now Therefore, the Board hereby makes the following Findings of Fact, Conclusions and Order: FINDINGS OF FACT WMO Establishment. The Bassett Creek Flood Control Commission was formed in 1968, primarily to study to flooding issues in the watershed, and later adopted a watershed management plan in 1972. In 1984, the BCWMC was created after revising the Flood Control Commission's joint powers agreement. The Commission prepared its first generation watershed management plan that BWSR approved in. July 1989. The BCWMC's Second Generation Watershed Management Plan (Plan) development process began in early 2001 with a series of organizational meetings and kickoff technical meetings with agency representatives. A Steering Committee consisting of city representatives and staff from supporting agencies was established and began meeting fonnally in mid 2001. During the development process of the Plan, the draft plan was submitted to BWSR, other state review agencies, and local governments for the required 60 -day review on November 19, 2003.. The reasons for the delay in submitting the draft plan were in part due to the extensive citizen process that was utilized, lengthy budget discussions, and. comprehensive technical advisory group meetings which met numerous times throughout a ten month period. The Commission received 60 -day review comments from the BWSR, MN Department of Natural Resources (DNR), MN Pollution Control Agency (MPCA), MN Department of Health (MDH); Metropolitan (Met) Council, City of Golden Valley, City of Medicine Lake, City of Minneapolis, City of Minnetonka, City of New 1 of 4 Hope, City of Plymouth, City of St. Louis Park, Hennepin County Department of Environmental Services, Three Rivers Park District, Shingle Creek WMC, several lake associations, and several citizens. On April 27, 2004, all review agencies had received the revised draft plan for the required_ 45 -day review period. The Commissioners received comments from the DNR, BWSR, Met Council, MDH, MPCA, and the City of St. Louis Park. The final draft Plan was submitted to BWSR on July 15, 2004, for the 90 - day review period. The Joint Powers Agreement, revised in 1993, is both compliant and executed and will remain in effect until 2015. 2. Requirement to Plan. The Metropolitan Surface Water Management Act requires the preparation of a watershed management plan for the subject watershed area which meets the requirements of Minnesota Statutes Sections 103B.201 to 103B.251. 3. Nature of the Watershed. The BCWMC is located in the heart of Hennepin County. it is bound by the Mississippi River WMO to the east, on the south and west by the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District, on the northwest by the Elm Creek WMO, and on the north by Shingle Creek WMC. The watershed encompasses all or part of the following nine cities: Plymouth, Medicine Lake, Golden Valley, Robbinsdale, Crystal, New Hope, Minnetonka, St. Louis Park, and Minneapolis. Bassett Creek discharges into the Mississippi River in downtown Minneapolis below St. Anthony Falls. The watershed contains five major lakes and three creek branches. The Bassett Creek watershed covers 39.6 square miles and is predominantly fully developed (>90%). Scattered areas of redevelopment throughout the watershed are proposed. 4. Local Review. The BCWMC circulated a copy of the draft Plan to local units of government for their review pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Section 103B.231, Subd. 7. 5. Metropolitan Council Review. The Council relayed comments regarding low impact development, timing of wetland management planning, a suggested map of areas in.the watershed that do not meet NURP standards for stormwater, and a listing of minimum buffer widths. The Commission elected not to: 1) create a schedule for completing wetland management plans, 2) create a map showing areas not meeting NURP standards because the Commission felt it would be addressed under future TMDL studies, and 3) require minimum buffer widths since the Commission decided to allow each municipality to develop their own buffer requirements. The Plan, however, requires that municipalities have a buffer policy. The Commission will be researching buffer issues within the next year. 6. Department of Agriculture Review. The MDA did not provide comments on the BCWMC Plan. 2 of 4 7. Department of Health Review. MDH submitted comments well after the 60 -day deadline. Their comments addressed stormwater management within vulnerable groundwater recharge areas and water/wellhead protection planning support for all the public water suppliers. The Commission amended the Plan as recommended but noted that they will not provide technical and financial support for wellhead protection measures since it appears that the city water supplies are not vulnerable to surficial contamination. 8. Department of Natural Resources Review. DNR submitted the following comments for consideration: Include MLCCS information to better define existing watershed conditions; List and describe habitat of rare wildlife species in watershed; Devote more resources into installing low impact development, runoff volume reduction, and infiltration practices; Consider the effects and mitigating measures for allowing such a high percentage (50-95%) of impervious surface in the watershed; Consider more emphasis on restoring the stream's natural functions as opposed to its "natural beauty", which was a comment from the DNR's 45 -day review. The Commission largely supported or incorporated all DNR recommendations into the Plan, but indicated that 80% of the stream channel has been inventoried for erosion by three municipalities therefore MI.CCS is not entirely needed, and in addition, the watershed is over 90% developed. 9. Pollution Control Agency Review. MPCA offered comments related primarily to TMDL activities, storm water runoff rate and volume control, the BCWMC water body classification system, and the use of STORET for all water quality data. In response, the Commission either concurred with the comments or amended the Plan as recommended. 10. Board Review. BWSR's primary concerns were related to impaired waters/TMDL processes, joint powers agreement details, the continued use of citizen and teelmical advisory committees or some derivative thereof, and the recommendation for the WCA LGUs to involve the TEP early on in the wetland functional assessment and comprehensive wetland management planning processes. The Commission responded by clarifying their cooperative role with municipalities in the TMDL process, and acknowledged the remaining BWSR recommendations. 11. Highlights of the Plan. The critical elements included in the Plan are: • The "non -degradation" policy (i.e. no increase in phosphorus load) for redevelopments that result in increased impervious surface, Level 1 Standards for stormwater runoff from various sized new and redeveloping areas throughout the watershed, and a policy requiring the application of stormwater volume reduction methods, to the maximum practical extent. 3 of 4 N'� • Aggressive CIP and future CII' table. As part of the annual budget process, there will be an annual review of the 10 -year CIP. • The Creek & Streambank Trunk System Maintenance, Repair, & Sediment Removal Fund has a proposed annual budget that includes $50,000 assessment. • An extensive Public Information Plan aimed at changing behaviors that affect water quality through a variety of educational related activities. 12. Metro Water Planning Committee Meeting. The Board's Metro Water Planning Committee met on August 9, 2004, with representatives of the BCWMC to review and discuss the Plan. Board staff recommended approval of the Plan. After discussion, the Committee unanimously decided to recommend approval of the Bassett Creek Watershed Management Second Generation Plan to the full Board. CONCLUSIONS All relevant substantive and procedural requirements of law and rule have been fulfilled. 2. The Board has proper jurisdiction in the matter of approving a Watershed Management Plan for the Bassett Creek Watershed Management Organization pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Sections 103B.231, Subd. 9. 3. The Bassett Creek Watershed Management Commission Second Generation Plan attached to this Order defines water and water -related problems within the BCWMC boundaries, possible solutions thereto, and an implementation program. 4. The attached Plan is in conformance with the requirements of Minnesota Statutes Sections 103B.201 to 103B.251. 4of4 ORDER The Board hereby approves the attached Plan dated July 2004 as the Watershed Management Plan for the Bassett Creek Watershed Management Organization. Dated at Saint Paul, Minnesota this 25th day of August, 2004.

The site is part of the larger Plymouth Creek Park and has been converted from a mowed vacant lot to an educational/conservation tool with demonstration native prairie gardens. Now that the garden is maturing, it became apparent that a formal entrance would be beneficial in establishing an inviting feel. Benches would provide visitors a place to rest and observe close at hand the flora and fauna. Steve went through a couple of designs before deciding on the eventual steadiest structures. In an effort to control future maintenance, Steve chose a recycled plastic/wood product to match the existing bridge. The project was well designed and coordinated. I have received many positive comments regarding the workmanship & professionalism of the newly installed pergola and benches. This can be traced to Steve's leadership. Through out the project, Steve kept me current of any progress or roadblocks. His design was thorough enough that there were no delays or problems. Steve's proiect has immediate as well as long-term benefits. The pergola and benches give the garden a completed finished look. Next year we will plant vines that will scramble up the new structure and add a vertical dimension to the garden. The pergola invites visitors to explore the garden. Interested residents can now leisurely view the different habitats presented at the site while resting on the benches. Future maintenance (staining) has been eliminated through the use of a recycled plastic/wood product. The City truly appreciates of all Steve's hard work on this community project. In all of my dealings with Steve, he was professional, creative, studious, and showed initiative to finish his project. I believe that Steve is worthy of Eagle Scout rank and recommend to the Council that Steve's project (Parkview Ridge wildflower garden pergola and benches) be given full consideration for his achievements. If I can be of further assistance in your deliberations of Steve's Eagle Scout status, please feel free to call me at 763.509.5944.
