For that reason, I must resign my position as At - Large Commissioner on the Plymouth Planning Commission. I want to thank you for the opportunity to serve the citizens of Plymouth for this past year and a half. I have truly enjoyed it and hope that I have contributed in some small way to the betterment of our community. I will miss all of you involved with the commission very much and wish each and every one of you all the best in the future. Sincerely, Jason Rohloff Jason D.

The average daily population reported for the Plymouth facility was 495, less than the occupancy limit of 601 set by the Conditional Use Permit.

You may recall that I sought verification that the city no longer wishes to maintain an updated community telephone list for use in the event of an escape from the ACF. Our primary interest lies in protecting and preserving public safety. Unfortunately, the ACF has neither the desire nor the resources to maintain this list on a solo basis. We believe the primary responsibility for this list rests with the city, and without the city's support this community notification list will become extinct. Please advise us by Monday, September 22, 2033, if the city wishes to continue with this venture. Or, perhaps you may be aware of a local group or organization that may be interested in accepting responsibility for this list Thank you in advance for your attention to this matter. I appreciate your time and look forward to your prompt reply. cerely, J e Gorzycki C ections Supervisor (763) 475-4635 Cc: Judy A Johnson, Mayor J.

Box 8, Wayzata, MN 55391-0008 Telephone (763) 473-4700 September 11, 2003 TO: Members of the PLYMOUTH CITY COUNCIL & STAFF .t SUBJECT: Efficient use of the present P & R FACILITY at Hwy. 55 & Co. Rd. 73 Attached sketch dated 9/11/03 will hopefully convey the opportunity that our city has to not only make a statement to the world, but will provide economic advantage initially and into the future. Much of the inertia to change and progress in our society is the result of special vested interests. A cardinal point of this proposal is that no one shall be "at risk." On the sketch you will note ten blocks each with two numbers. These numbers indicate stalls on the ground level into which vehicles are parked. Fig.] is a 3 - dimensional sketch of the appearance of one of these blocks. Each of these modules is 120' high and provide (50) stalls - all being ADA compliant. What we seek at this time is the Council's approval to construct one of these modules at location 1 - 2. SAFE PARK, INC. WILL SECURE THE VENTURE FUNDING, and agree to remove the equipment should it not perform satisfactorily. Following this demonstration the ten modules shown will provide (500) indoor parking spaces with all of the advantages noted on the sketch. A distinctive characteristic of this design is that it is prefabricated steel and can be constructed in minimal time, and thus, minimal service interruption. Now the exciting nature of this overall proposal is the integration of HOUSING with the PARK & RIDE FACILITY. We fully expect that a major developer will be found to work with this project to make the total endeavor a future continuing revenue source to the city. Some general conservative estimates of costs as well as very important advantages offered by this design are noted on the sketch. In summary, a far superior product for a lower initial cost, lower operating & maintenance cost can be expected. In addition to CONSIDERABLE continuing revenue to the city, the facility operation will be maintained by us. Thank you for your interest in this progressive proposal. Sincerely, William A.

HCSAH116/WCSAH22 Roadway and Bridge Reconstruction, Hassan. Moore reviewed the Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) and determined that it addressed the issues of concern to the Commission.

Grant Opportunities. 1. Small Grant Proposals for The Fish and Wildlife Service and the North American Wetlands Conservation Council.

A report was prepared by Larry Samstad, consultant for HCD, and submitted on July 31, 2003 to the Corcoran city engineer and Hennepin County. The project will likely involve putting a restriction on the culvert to alleviate low flow conditions between CSAA30 and Rush Creek Boulevard to alleviate erosion and flooding problems during low -medium flow conditions. The Commission will request a copy of the report from Joel Settles, HCES. Durgunoglu reported that he met onsite this morning with County Commissioner Penny Steele, the Corcoran city engineer, representatives from MNDOT and Hennepin County, and concerned neighbors to discuss the scenario. The county is considering a flow restrictor in front of the pipe, the City is looking for an enlarged study to assess the bigger picture. Homes were built in the area prior to the flood maps, the city road was built too low. [Adams departed 12:20 p.m.] D. The Commissioners received a copy of the August/September volume of River Monitor News. E. Durgunoglu reported the level gauge and backup gauge at the Champlin Mill Pond are in need of repair.

Site inspection by Staff showed the need for further investigation by the parties involved. Saturated conditions observed in the field did not show up as wetland on the delineation report. This may or may not be due to an extremely high water table at the time Staff was on site. Staff will meet with the delineator for additional clarification. K. 2003-034 Rogers Retail Park/Tires Plus, Rogers. Application file is incomplete. VII. Adjournment. There being no further business, motion by Moore, second by Kluck to adjourn. Motion carried.

Qvale, Public Services Manager SUBJECT: AN ALTERNATIVE PARK AND RIDE FACILITY OPTION I am enclosing an alternative park and ride solution that has been drafted by Mr. Bill Sternad. Bill has met with staff on two occasions to promote his ideas for an alternative structure for the City of Plymouth to consider. His current proposal is to build a 30 car prototype structure at his expense on the current CR 73 and TH 55 Park and Ride site. The structure would be 70 feet high. He is proposing to complete this prototype in approximately 6 to 8 months. He views this as a risk free alternative for the City to experience his concepts that could develop into an overall project including retail and housing components. Please review and direct any questions to me at 763-509-5502. Attachments: Proposal September 11, 2003 cc: Dwight Johnson, City Manager Laurie Ahrens, Assistant City Manager Daniel L. Faulkner, P.E., Director of Public Works Anne Hurlburt, Community Development Director O:\engineering\transit\CC_.Memo_Sternard_09_ 12_03. doc SAFE PARK, INC. P.O. Box 8, Wayzata, MN 55391-0008 Telephone (763) 473-4700 September 11, 200: TO: Members of the PLYMOUTH CITY COUNCIL & STAFF SUBJECT: Efficient use of the present P & R FACILITY at Hwy. 55 & Co. Rd. 73 Attached sketch dated 9/11/03 will hopefully convey the opportunity that our city has to not only make a statement to the world, but will provide economic advantage initially and into the future. Much of the inertia to change and progress in our society is the result of special vested interests. A cardinal point of this proposal is that no one shall be "at risk." On the sketch you will note ten blocks each with two numbers. These numbers indicate stalls on the ground level into which vehicles are parked. Fig.l is a 3 - dimensional sketch of the appearance of one of these blocks. Each of these modules is 120' high and provide (50) stalls - all being ADA compliant. What we seek at this time is the Council's approval to construct one of these modules at location 1 - 2. SAFE PARK, INC. WILL SECURE THE VENTURE FUNDING, and agree to remove the equipment should it not perform satisfactorily. Following this demonstration the ten modules shown will -provide (500) indoor parking spaces with all of the advantages noted on the sketch. A distinctive characteristic of this design is that it is prefabricated steel and can be constructed in minimal time, and thus, minimal service interruption. Now the exciting nature of this overall proposal is the integration of HOUSING with the PARK & RIDE FACILITY. We fully expect that a major developer will be found to work with this project to make the total endeavor a future continuing revenue source to the city. Some general conservative estimates of costs as well as very important ad nav ages offered by this design are noted on the sketch. In summary, a far superior product for a lower initial cost, lower operating & maintenance cost can be expected. In addition to CONSIDERABLE continuing revenue to the city, the facility operation will be maintained by us. Thank you for your interest in this progressive proposal.
