The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will share information on a recent preliminary flood insurance study of Plymouth. The meeting will also outline the national flood insurance program. One meeting will run from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Maple Grove Government Center and Public Safety Facility, 12800 Arbor Lakes Parkway, Maple Grove. The second will be from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Orono City Council Chambers, 2780 Kelley Parkway, Orono. The study provides base flood information and delineates areas subject to significant flood hazards. The study includes a flood insurance rate map. The map shows the areas that would be inundated by a flood that has a 1% probability of occurring every year. Hennepin County will use information from the study to regulate new construction in flood hazard areas. Banks and insurance agents will also use this information to determine where flood insurance is required, and the cost of insurance. All interested persons, especially those living in or near areas of special flood hazards, are encouraged to attend. t3 City of Plymouth News Release For Immediate Release Contact: Feb. 20, 2003 Sandy Paulson, 763-509-5080 Students seats available on commissions Students who live in Plymouth can play an important role in City government.

ELEVATION DEEPHAVEN, MN., -- February 17, 2003 — The Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD) and the City of Plymouth announced that an emergency pumping plan is now in place to reduce water levels on Mooney Lake should spring snowmelt and rains result in water levels on the lake exceeding an elevation of 990.0 -feet. The MCWD is seeking a Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) permit to finalize the plan before the end of the month. Last fall, after heavy rains saturated the area, the MCWD and Plymouth instituted emergency pumping on the lake as flood waters encroached on private property. Mooney Lake has no natural outlet. Emergency pumping was terminated on December 3, 2002 due to ice buildup and safety concerns after two months of continuous pumping from September 30 to December 3. Water was pumped from the southeast bay of Mooney Lake through an above -ground pipe and into a ditch along the north side of County Road 6 that drains into Pinetree Pond in Plymouth. "The pumping reduced the risk of structural flooding of homes," notes Eric Evenson, MCWD Administrator. "The water level of the lake at the end of the pumping was approximately elevation 990.0 -feet, which was 1,2 -feet (14 -inches) lower than when pumping began. At an elevation of 990.0 -feet, the water level of the lake is at a point where the annual risk of structural flooding is less than one - percent. A recent water level measurement taken near the end of January showed that the water level in the lake had dropped another 1.4 -feet (17 -inches) and was at an elevation of 988.6 -feet. With the lake at this elevation, if we have a normal spring there should be little risk of structural flooding. However, we need to be prepared in case we have a wet spring and water levels on Mooney Lake again rise.above elevation 990.0 -feet." According to Evenson, the plan for spring pumping will be similar to the plan that was implemented last fall that would pump water from the southeast bay of Mooney Lake via above -ground pipe and ditch into Pinetree Pond. From Pinetree Pond, the water flows through a conveyance system of ponds, lakes, and wetlands, which are part of the stormwater drainage systems within the cities of Plymouth and Wayzata. Eventually it will reach Wayzata Bay on Lake Minnetonka. If F s r The MCWD and City of Plymouth have also agreed to look into the possibility of permanently installing electrical power supply and underground conveyance pipes to accommodate future emergency pumping. The study would evaluate potential routes and determine associated project costs. According to Evenson, due to time constraints and funding issues, it is not possible to have a permanent infrastructure system in place prior to initiating spring pumping, if required. For more than 33 years, MCWD has monitored and investigated the lakes and streams that feed Minnehaha Creek across two counties and 29 cities and towns, from the upper watershed North and West of Lake Minnetonka to the Lake itself, through the Minneapolis Chain of Lakes, to Minnehaha Creek and Minnehaha Falls. The Minnehaha Creek Watershed, working in partnership with cities, townships, and citizen groups, has helped to improve the water quality in most of the lakes and streams in the watershed. Recent lake and wetland restoration projects include: Gleason Creek, Long Lake, Painter Creek, Twin Lakes/Cedar Lake, Lake Calhoun, Pamela Park, and others. The MCWD designs and builds projects to protect water resources including, lake restoration, wetland enhancement, erosion repair, and flood control. The District also coordinates cities, counties, park districts, developers, and others within watershed boundaries for compatible and efficient water resource management. The autonomous government body is funded by small additions to property taxes from those households in the District that benefit from water resource management, with occasional interim funding from cities, counties and the state. The District is also funded through special levies. Its website address and telephone numbers are: www.minnehahacreek.org; 952-471-0590.

Discussion City Manager Johnson reported that the Park and Recreation Department is considering a plan to develop a new skate park and BMX bike facility as one of the projects in the Capital Improvements Program. The site being studied is behind Pilgrim Methodist Church at the intersection of County Road 9 and Zachary Lane. Dwight said that church leadership has looked at the proposal and likes the concept. He said the City Council will review and discuss the proposal at a special council meeting, but would like comments from youth. The Council would like to know if the first skate park is a success, whether another one is needed, and how popular the BMX bike element would be. 3:t Youth Advisory Council February 3, 2003 Meeting Page 2 Mark said he has friends who live near the proposed site and would use it. Judy said Councilmembers are concerned about budgeting for such a project, and want to make certain the use would justify the expense. Committees 1. Intergenerational Committee Regina reported that the committee has planned another roundtable on April 14 from noon until 2:30 PM, with a professional speaker scheduled to talk about terrorism. She said the Senior Council would pay for the speaker and part of the food. The Committee is requesting the Youth Advisory for at least some financial support for the speaker's book which he would have available at the event, and for part of the food expenses. She said registration is required for this event, with a deadline of April 7. The Youth Advisory Council directed staff to spend $75 on the roundtable event. 2. Marketing Committee Jean reported that the letters are ready to go out and that she and Ifna will sign them. 3.

Evans shared with PRAC the award that Anderson received from the MRPA. She then thanked everyone who assisted with Fire & Ice. The event was a great success - approximately 3,500 people attended. Staff is continuing to work on other special events coming up. Evans handed out a calendar of those events. The next event is Primavera, scheduled for April 10-12 and 14-15. Following that we have the Yard and Garden Expo on April 26 and the History Fest on May 8, 9 and 10. We are partnering with the Native Plant Society on the Yard & Garden Expo. Forty vendors will be at the Expo and will have booths in the fieldhouse. At 2 p.m., when the event is over, all of the plants that were brought into the fieldhouse are sold to the general public. The education days of the History Fest will be a two-day program. The general public can come on Saturday. Evans explained that Karol is busy on scheduling events for the Hilde Performance Center and Parkers Lake. We have quite a few concerts scheduled at the Hilde already; several concerts with the community band, the MN Symphonic Winds, some churches are doing events, a jazz night on June 25, and many other musical events, including Music in Plymouth. We are getting plans in order for the opening of the Millennium 37 PRAC Minutes/February 2003 Page 6 Garden set for June 29th. We are doing some afternoon kids concerts, too, at Parkers Lake. We will also contract with the Prior Lake Water Ski Team to do three water ski shows this summer. Last Friday night we held the Little Sweetheart Ball, a Valentine dance for youth 7 and under. Parents attended with their kids. Another similar event is scheduled for April 25 - Little Spring Fling Dance. We are very busy getting summer events planned, getting information to Nancy for the summer brochure. Evans informed PRAC that the fieldhouse is adding some netting to protect walkers from soccer balls, etc. The netting will go around the entire perimeter of the fieldhouse. Singer stated that Woodbury has had a rash of car thefts while people are walking in their dome. Blank said he hasn't had any reports of that type of activity taking place at the dome, but it does happen occasionally at LifeTime. It was suggested that some signage should be placed near the fieldhouse entrance warning people not to leave valuables in their cars. Right now there are no security cameras in the Plymouth Creek Center parking lot. Evans reminded the Commission that the next meeting is March 6th in the Medicine Lake Room. On the 13th is the Board and Commission reception at the Plymouth Creek Center. c. Others. No report. 4. Report on Past Council Action The park facility rental polices and fees were approved by the Council. The capital improvements budget was also reviewed in a study session. They authorized the dog park and the trail on Lancaster, the maintenance garage at Plymouth Creek Park, and the skate park. They did not approve the BMX course at this time. They were concerned about liability with the BMX course. It can be added in the future, because there is plenty of room for it. 5. Unfinished Business a. Approve 2002 annual report and 2003 work plan. Blank stated that the final draft of the annual report needs to be approved. He noted an error on page 4 under the Northwest Greenway item. Mud Lake should have been Lake Camelot and Palmer Lake should have been Pomerleau Lake. Those things will be corrected before the annual report goes to the Council. The work plan was established with PRAC's help at the last meeting. Some items included grand openings scheduled in the coming months, the CIP, scheduling the Hilde, teen programs, the 10th playfield, indoor tennis, the dog park, and the skate park/BMX course. Krahulec asked how many residents received the dog park notice. Blank said it was about a dozen or so. Blank reviewed the remainder of the annual report. He then discussed what property owners get for their money. The average home value in Plymouth in 2002 was $258,000, and they paid city taxes of PRAC Minutes/February 2003 Page 7 $665. Of that, $153 went to Park and Recreation. Some of the services and benefits residents receive include: - 1,000 acres of park and open space, 9 playfields, 31 ice rinks, 35 ball fields that are lined and dragged daily in the summer, 26 parks, 90 miles of off-road trail, the Plymouth Creek Center offered 237 programs for seniors, free walking at the fieldhouse, meeting rooms at the Ice Center are given out free to the community, daily admission for Plymouth residents and reduced fees for Plymouth seniors at LifeTime, the Hilde Performance Center, gardens at various parks, picnic shelters, beaches, eight warming houses staffed in the winter, several special events, the forestry program plants $50,000 worth of trees yearly, and they offer major educational events at schools, 1,362 classes offered by recreation, every resident receives a brochure three times a year, the availability of on-line and touch tone registration, 34 children's playgrounds, we manage the pools at both east and west, mowing and trimming, pick up 70 tons of trash, we provide over 300 jobs to youth in the community, volunteer program for teens teaching them how to lead, etc., archery range, and two disk golf courses. Blank continued to review the remainder of the annual report. He stated he is going to revise the report from the Plymouth Creek Center next year to make it easier to understand. There's a significant amount of people visiting that site. Blank stated that we have the best volunteer program in the state. He noted all the games at the Ice Center, and the work accomplished by the environmental division. This report will go to the City Council at their next meeting. FIEMANN MOVED AND REZABEK SECONDED A MOTION TO APPROVE THE ANNUAL REPORT AND FORWARD IT TO THE CITY COUNCIL WITH NOTED CORRECTIONS. MOTION CARRIED WITH ALL AYES. 6. New Business a. Consider name for Environmental Park. Blank stated that four names had been suggested by staff. Singer asked about the name Tamarack. Blank stated that we do not have tamarack trees in this park, and it would be difficult to get them to grow there. Meyer liked Nature Canyon. She said it gives the park a little more focus. Valley View is a park in Bloomington. REZABEK MOVED TO CALL IT NATURE CANYON. MEYER SECONDED. MOTION CARRIED WITH ALL AYES. Blank asked PRAC if they would ever entertain names like Challenger or Columbia for future naming of parks or facilities, etc. Rezabek said we need to be very careful about doing that. He thinks some people might take it the wrong way. Fiemann suggested that if you do that, put up some type of monument explaining the reason. We currently have no parks named after people. That has been the philosophy since day one of the City Council. The Hilde Center is an t4- PRAC Minutes/February 2003 Page 8 exception, because it is a facility, not a park, and because of the contribution made by the Hilde family, Blank explained. He stated there is a plaque next to the Parkers Lake playground that honors a man whc died in a plane crash. His family donated $10,000 toward that playground. 7. Commission Presentation None. 8. Staff Communication The City Council appointed Erik Aamoth as our new commissioner. Blank will be meeting with him next week. Blank said the Mayor was contacted by Wayzata Youth Hockey, and she asked the Council what they wanted to do regarding the request for a third sheet of ice. They set aside a study session for February 25 to discuss the issue. Providence Academy and Wayzata Hockey will attend that study session. 9.

Before posting any speed limits authorized as a result of this study, we suggest a routine review of CSAH 101 to ensure all needed signing is in place, visible, in good condition, and in conformance with the Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. When making the review, special attention should be given to warning and advisory speed signing for any locations where the posted speed limit cannot be safely maintained, and to other traffic control devices which could be impacted by a' change in posted speed limit.

I understand and appreciate your concerns regarding poor driver compliance of the crosswalk law. Pedestrian safety is always a high priority for our City staff. One new program that we will be experimenting with this summer is called the Wave, Wait and Walk Program. This program is currently being used successfully by the City of St. Paul, as well as Portland, Madison, and Seattle. The program is designed to encourage communication between drivers and pedestrians, since driver's often complain that they can't tell when pedestrians want to cross and pedestrians are too afraid to step into a crosswalk because they can't be sure the drivers will stop. This program will give pedestrians a chance to be more assertive in being seen and noticed by the drivers. The Wave, Wait and Walk Program will be tested at the following locations this summer: 50th Avenue & Schmidt Lake Road, Fembrook Lane & Dallas Lane/Plymouth Creek Playfield, Zachary Lane & 3911 Avenue, and Vicksburg Lane at the Luce Line Trail. At each location, flags will be provided for the pedestrians to wave and get the drivers' attention. The pedestrian is instructed to make eye contact with the driver and wait for them to stop, and then carry the flag to the other side of the street. If this program is considered successful at these locations, we could consider an installation at the 361h Avenue crossing for the following school year.

We have some major concerns about the safety in that area. The crosswalk as it stands is being totally ignored by drivers. We have witnessed cars, trucks, and even school buses ignore children in the crosswalk area and continue to drive through. We are aware that the sun can present a problem for drivers going east on 36`h Avenue North at certain times of the day. We are requesting that flashing lights, yellow reflective covering for the post sign, or some other eye catching element be installed. The safety of the students and other children or adults that use that crosswalk must be our foremost concern. The crosswalk is being ignored and people are in grave danger of being struck down. Please consider our request, and assist us in making this a safer area to cross. Sincerely, Mary K.
