The Plymouth resident used his digital camera to capture the sun rising over a foggy Turtle Lake, located behind his house. Davideit's shot was chosen for the grand prize, and a $100 award, out of 138 photos submitted. Six other photos won in categories such as nature, cityscapes and people. Though he took a class when he got his digital camera four years ago, Davideit said he has little formal training as a photographer. He's already thinking about next year's contest, he said. "It was so much fun winning this thing that I'm going to try again." Being aware, being safe On request, the Eden Prairie Police Department will offer "personal safety presentations" to local organizations. Speakers don't teach self-defense tactics. Rather, they teach how to be more aware of threats and how to plan for and react to them. For more information, call Mark Krueger at 952-949-6200. Planning in Chan The Chanhassen City Council is looking for people to serve on the city's Planning Commission, the committee that reviews all new developments. The commission meets twice each month, and members are appointed by the council. Applications must be received by Dec. 10. Call 952-227-1100 for more information. Organizing volunteers After working for the city of Minnetonka for more than 30 years, Joan Post retired in May. But then the city's former community relations manager got back to work. Post is volunteering one day each week to help Minnetonka set up a new volunteer program. Before retiring, Post said, she often got calls from residents eager to help out at the city. Sometimes Post or others would connect inquiring volunteers with departments needing help, but the city couldn't spare a staff member to start a full-blown volunteer program. So after retiring, Post offered to come in every Tuesday to help start one herself. It's modeled after the one in Plymouth, where staff member Nancy Anderson helps recruit more than 1,000 volunteers each year. Anderson offered Post advice on setting up Minnetonka's program. Departments seeking volunteers write up job descriptions, which are posted on the city's Web site at www.eminnetonka.com. The program is still in its infancy, but the city already is asking for volunteers to help with Hilloway Park restoration. It also needs someone to play the city mascot, "Minnetonka Mike," at events; helpers with various maintenance tasks at city buildings, and a monitor to spend 15 minutes each week checking storm drains. Some, but not all, of the tasks require background checks. But otherwise, Post said, "We're open to most anybody." or more information, call Post at 952-939-8215 or go to the Web site.

City of Plymouth News Release For Immediate Release November 30, 2004 Contact: Richard Kline 763-509-5121 Plymouth Family Escapes Early Morning Fire. At 1 a.m. on Mon., Nov. 22, the Plymouth Fire Department responded to a call in the southwest part of the city. When firefighters arrived on scene fire was through the roof and heavy smoke poured out of the home. The homeowner's had woken up to the smell of smoke, gotten out of the house alive, and called 9-1-1. Unfortunately, their pet died in the fire. Firefighters later determined that none of the smoke detectors in the home were working. "This family was very fortunate to escape with only minor injuries," said Fire Chief Richard Kline. The Chief speculated that had there been working smoke detectors in the home, both the residents and firefighters would have had a three to five-minute lead on the fire. "Fire grows exponentially, doubling every two minutes. We can't stress the importance of working smoke detectors strongly enough," said Kline. Families should test smoke detectors monthly, change their battery once a year, and vacuum them periodically. Winter is the deadliest time of year for fire loss in Minnesota. Furnaces, fireplaces, chimneys, unattended cooking, and candles are the leading causes. To stay safe this winter, the Fire Department asks families to follow these ten tips for home fire safety. 1. Have furnaces and fireplaces inspected annually. Seventy percent of all heating fires in residential properties occurred in chimneys and fireplaces. 2. Do not burn wrapping paper or cardboard in the fireplace. Fragments can waft up the fireplace and start the roof on fire. 3. Never leave a burning candle unattended. Trim wicks to 1/4" prior to each use. Keep candles away from drafts and vents. Use a flame retardant base. 4. Keep matches and lighters away from kids. Teach kids to tell an adult if they find matches or a lighter. 5. If buying a real Holiday tree, pick out one that is green and does not drop its needles. Dried out trees can ignite easily and burn quickly. Plan to display the tree for only two weeks. Water your tree daily. 6. Never leave cooking food unattended. _t �1 7. Unplug appliance cords when not in use. Keep them tied up and out of children's reach. 8. Check that holiday lights do not have frayed wires, gaps in the insulation, broken or cracked sockets or excessive wear. Do not overload electrical outlets. Link no more than three light strands together, unless the directions indicate it is safe. 9. Post the number 9-1-1 by the phone. Teach children how to use it. 10. Know and practice a family fire escape plan. Pick a meeting place outside of the home to gather in the case of an emergency.

The site plan amendment would allow the total floor area to be expanded from 242,000 square feet (previously approved) to 280,000 square feet. The conditional use permit would allow more than one principal structure on the lot. Hennepin County records indicate your property is within 500 feet of the site of this proposal. You are hereby notified of, and cordially invited to attend a Public Hearing to be held by the Plymouth Planning Commission at 7:00 p.m., on Wednesday, December 15, 2004, in the City Council Chambers at the Plymouth City Hall, 3400 Plymouth Boulevard. The public will be invited to offer questions and comments concerning this application at that time, or feel free to call the City Planning Department at (763) 509- 5450 for more information. INFORMATION relating to this request may be examined at the Community Development Information Counter (lower level), on Mondays and Wednesday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and Tuesdays from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., except holidays. #NJ � Barbara Planning Manager W 2004133propnotice PLYMOUTH A Beautiful Place to Live 3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD • P OUTH, MINNESOTA 55447-1482 • TELEPHONE (763) 509-5000 a-' www.d.plymouth.mmus November 30, 2004 Senator David Gaither Room 9107 State Office Building 100 Rev.

As you might recall, at the joint meeting between our local legislators and the Plymouth City Council on Wednesday, September 29, 2004, I illustrated the need for a median barrier along the I-494 corridor, beginning north of County Road 10 and continuing south to I-394, in the City of Plymouth. Due to this imperative need, a press conference was also held on Monday, October 18, 2004, to reinforce the project's importance. At that time, a request for the Legislature's support to appropriate funding and to approve the construction of the project through MnDOT was made. I have since asked our City Attorney's office to draft a bill for your consideration. It is my sincere hope that you will author the enclosed bill and support its progress through the legislative process. This is a top priority for my office, as the barrier, like the one recently completed in the City of Maple Grove, will significantly reduce the amount of cross -through median traffic crashes, which will result in fewer serious injuries and deaths along the I-494 corridor. Lastly, to further highlight the need for this barrier, our police department responded to a five -car personal injury accident on Friday, November 26, 2004 at approximately 7:30 a.m. on Highway 169 near County Road 10. Here, a vehicle traveling northbound crossed through the median and struck a southbound vehicle head-on. Serious injuries resulted. While I did not include Highway 169 in this initial project, the prospect is PL'O,(et Ki t] Qi fi 17 Qual- Y to ijr 3,1'-O P!_Y'✓IOUTH BOULEVARD • PLYMOUTH, 'ifli'11NES0TA 5544 7- ;^iymcuth.mnr�.us Senator David Gaither November 30, 2004 Page 2 worth future consideration. According to MnDOT, there are no improvements whatsoever scheduled for Highway 169 for the next several years. Knowing that the cost for the median barrier is $100,000 per mile, the area along Highway 169, from County Road 10 to Medicine Lake Road, would be approximately four miles to complete. While this would be in addition to the I-494 project, I would be remiss if I did not make this request as well. I thank you once again for your support, understanding and consideration on this critically important matter. If you have any questions or concerns, I can be reached at 763-509-5129.
