ITEM 3 PLYMOUTH FORUM
Bill Gavaras, 16920 17th Avenue North, represented the two Plymouth senior
clubs. He stated that the City currently has a task force studying youth sports
facilities in the community, and he requested that the needs of seniors also be
addressed. He said the population of Plymouth continues to age, and seniors are
currently meeting at several different facilities in the community. Some of the
facilities have reached capacity, and new members may soon be turned away. Mr.
Gavaras stated that there is also an organization willing to provide hot meals to
seniors at no cost to the City, but a facility is needed. He asked the Council's
assistance in planning for the future needs of Plymouth's elderly.
Manager Johnson suggested that the issue be referred to the Park and Recreation
Advisory Commission for further study and report.

Wold, to direct staff to refer study of the future facility needs of Plymouth seniors
to the Park and Recreation Advisory Commission.

Tierney, to also refer the issue to the Council Subcommittee on Youth Sports
Facilities.

youth sport facility needs in the community. He believes that Council input into
senior needs at the early planning stage would also be beneficial.

Financial Group, Inc., owners of Parkside of Medicine Lake Apartments. He said
that Jonquil Lane was platted and constructed to serve the property immediately
east of the apartments. The City has purchased this property and all ownership
will be transferred to Hennepin Regional Parks for the property to be combined

Page 10
with the existing French Regional Park; therefore, the right-of-way is no longer
needed.
Director Moore stated that a condition of the approval resolution is that the
owners of the apartment complex must submit an application for approval and
provide a revised site plan showing what they intend to do with the vacated right-
of-way. This application must be approved by the City prior to filing the
resolution at Hennepin County vacating the street right-of-way.
Mayor Tierney opened the public hearing at 8:25 p.m.
Paul Brewer, 4601 Excelsior Blvd., represented the petitioner, Parkside
Apartments. He said their intent is to use the property as an addition to the
parking lot. He asked for clarification on a letter received from Lundgren Bros.
included in the staff report that requests continuation of access to the park area.
Manager Johnson recommended that this request can best be addressed at the site
plan stage. Staff believes there are possibilities for providing access that may not
encumber this property.
Mayor Tierney closed the public hearing at 8:27 pm.

Manager Johnson presented the staff report on the Judy Martin drainage concerns
at 16140 -37th Avenue North, in Sugar Hills 2nd Addition. He presented a
proposed resolution that outlines steps that the City could take to resolve Ms.
Martin's concerns. He believes that this is the best compromise that can be
reached.
Mayor Tierney stated she has walked the site. There are some trees that are
suffering, but also a fully functioning water flow system. She supports the
proposed resolution.
MOTION was made by Councilmember Helliwell, seconded by Councilmember
Anderson, to adopt RESOLUTION 95-604 DIRECTING CITY ACTIONS
REGARDING DRAINAGE COMPLAINTS IN SUGAR HELLS 2ND
SUBDIVISION. Motion carried, six ayes; Granath nay.
Councilmember Lymangood suggested that a staff report be provided relating to
engineering of outlet piping. He noted that the engineering reports in this situation
showed a negative slope on the outlet piping for skimming purposes. He noted
that there are other engineering techniques to accomplish this and perhaps options
should be investigated to avoid future problems.
Public Works Director Moore stated that every pond is different and the
engineering will depend on the design and whether the pond is connected to a
storm sewer system. He stated that in the future, developers will have to address
any impacts on trees resulting from their development proposal. This was not
previously required.
Manager Johnson observed that the entire transference of water was a concern in
this situation and a broader report could be beneficial.
