Indians inhabited Plymouth's prairies and wooded forests. Several hundred yearn later, in the early 1800's, fur trappers and theta farmers began to settle the land. On April 19, 1858, with a sprinkling of mills, shanties and town buildings on the, north shore of Parkers Lake, town members met to discuss the name "Plymouth" which had been bestow -ed upon this area by the Hennepin County Board of Commissioners. 6y 1380 Plymauth boasted a population of 1,074 an.d;by virtue of its rapidly developing railroad system was becoming a trade center., On May 18. 1855 the town was incorporatfd as the Village, of Plymouth. In 19743, by action of the State Legislature, Plymouth became a statutory city operating under the Plan 8 or Council-Mana9er form of government. Plymouth's rapidly expanding population has increased from 18,0.77 in, 1970 to an estimated 27,100 in 1977. Plymouth's 36 square mile area has experienced phenomenal residential and commercial development. This growth has led to the formation of a sound and diversified tax base for Plymouth residents, favorable; property taxes and an economically strong local. govern- ment. Plymouth's geographic boundaries encompass four independent school districts including Wayzata No, 284, Robbinsdal'e No. 281, Osseo No. 279 and Hopkins No. 2:74. The majority of Plymouth students attend Irlayzata and Robbinsdale Independent District schools. Politically, Plymouth lies in the third United States Congressional District, 43rd State Senate 'District, 43A State Representative District and the 5th Hennepin County Commissioner District.. Predictions sugges%t that Plymouth's population will increase to 50,500 by the year 1990.. For new City employees this promise of future growth suggests an exciting, long term career opportunity. Plymouth Government A statutory city, Plymouth operates under the provisions of Minnesota. Statutes 4122, In accordance with this statute, the City has adopted the Plan B or Council -Manager 'form of government, Under this plan the elected legislative officials - City Council define City policy and long range community objectives.. The Council> by majority vote, appoint the administrative head. of the City the City Manager. Plymouth's City Council is, composed of four Councilmembers and the Mayor (see Appendix A) Elect:, at -Targe, Councilmembers serve alter- nating four-year terms-. The Mayor, presiding officer at the City Council meeting and official representative of the City, is elected to a two- year term and holds, one vote as do Councilmembers in Council deliberations. The Council regularly meets on the first, third. and fourth Mondays of each month. City elections are held on the first Tuesday following the first Monday in November in odd -numbered years. i daily City operations, the City Attorney is available to advise the ity Council and staff on municipal legal questions. `The City Attorney's office is retained by the City on contract and represented by the law firm of LeFevere, Lefler, Pearson, 015rien, Drawz b Kennedy. In conducting City business, the City Council receives advisory reports and recommendations from four, resident commissions. These commissions, varying in size from.5 to 11 members, are appointed by the City Council.. Presently, the City Council is advised by the Board of Zoning Adjustment, Human Rights Commission, Planning Commission, and Park and Recreation Advisory Commission. In addition to these advisory commissions, the. Concerned Citizens for Plymouth Action: provides input to the City Council and staff about matters affecting the community. The City staff, directed by the city Manager, works with the Council and resident commissions to provide professional support, recommendations and, implementation of adopted City Council policies. As chief admini- strative officer, the City Manager is directly responsible to the City Council. The Manager coordinates and supervises a.11 administrative staff activities including personnel actions, direction of City administrative departments, enforcement of laws and ordinances and preparation of all City budgets. To deliver necessary City services, nearly 100 full=-time City employees are organized into five departments, twelve divisions and five sections. Based upon seasonal service demands, part-time and temporary employees are hired to help deliver City services. The following organization chart displays the organizational characteristics of Plymouth government.. On pages the functions of City departments, divisions and sections are described. 3 19?8 CITY OF PLYfVi0U' 11-1, O'i;GANIZATION DIAGRAM CITY COUNCIL Advisory Commisslot,s M4kf01.1 tvalunftlat,xl 4 COUNCIL ttlC6it84R5: Ftotsnlnq Park J t'..cteolirn I:sotr L+l nl Anhittli TRATiON H,aerd of zo91ng Ad a:lmesit P tlarReM t Ctf Cta a .._.. _ N;ttnon fttyh,s Ad"ninf,000y• M t11 1 sou silky ,-Rtcntie titctiw t Ctetk tyMet GIiy hldtto,geli; I ll.capl(nnlfl tit FOt.lCE -APARTMENT VOLiI[\rEER CommUNI?!` QEVELOf`Etr1CNT PUBLIC WOM DEPARTMENT FFINANCE DEPARTMENT zMat of Police, _! t&R...f'!t PRQn istp Gatnmb DSK Ultociartzii FCity E pr—Uig of Publ{c YJotk>kzal France tl{t.,.tor t:l 1,'-StCttlytlr r Fite Qftii: 1lttts f -_- Pt:tlttNlNG OIVIStgi\ St. FIRE, STATION I : A%,WAte t'lo+uters E3Eoq1nitllnitl l i' Ip C itJ"wtlt2-?

The Liason Strategies deal with an awareness of outside agencies and their impact upon the City and Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission. Such agencies include the DNR, Metropolitan Parks and Open Space Commission,, Hennepin County Park Reserve District as well as adjacent communities. Staff believes that input/interacti'on on a formal basis can take place during a Commissioner Education presentation at a regular Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission meeting.

Akzry Ray, Community Development Coordinator SUBJECT; Planning Commission Action on Rembrandt Proposal BACKGROUND: Staff advised Planning Commission that reviewof the Rembrandt proposal should also consider. the relationship of this proposal to xhe proposed community trait corridor adjacent to the east boundary of the said property. Staff expressed concern of the manner in which the co=;unity trail might cross County Road 9 relative to the Rembrandt project and the Criterion development proposed south of County Road 9. Planning Commission elected to defer rezoning request of the Rembrandt proposal until matters regarding the pedestrian circulation plan, trait corridor and Berkshire Lane redesign are resolved. More specifically, the Claming Commission is relying on PRAC to advise them of an ac- ceptable trail layout along the said two proposed developments and espe4ialZy the appropriate location inhere the trail system should. cross County Read 9.

The petitioner is aware of this design requL-ement but has indicated the offset since the centerline of proposed Berk- shire Lane renes-nts the property ownership division of tris development, It is stafffIs observation that the prososal is a unified development and, notwithstanding the ownership, the road. intersection Location should be readjusted to be an lige ,.-; th he proved intersection to the south.

Use City credit prudently to promote development of utilities in categories of land use that have been assimilated to less than a desired amount of reserve. 4 Cooperate with school districts to promote develofinent of ut.ilit es and land in the direction of future school sites sot utilities are available when schools are to be built. S. Make maximum use of surface drain ways and ponding as opposed, to closed- pipe systems for storm drainage.. 6. Require development of underground electric and telephone utilities. E. GOAL: HUMAN DEVELOPMENT OUNTIVE #1z Encourage the development of a broad: range: of educational and learning opportunities and an awareness of these. choices. CRITERIA,.- General RITERIA: General 1. Coordinate with 'school districts in school site selection utilizing the criteria suggested by the State School Building Planning and Development Office. 2.; Encourage joint development and utilization of education, r;cre Cion and social service facilities and services. Elementary Schools 3, Sites should be centrally located in neighborhoods to assure a residential setting for its function and to maximize the potential for convenient and safe walk to school for those in the service area. 4.Neighborhood playgrounds should adjoin elementary schools; for common facility use. These facilities should accomodate active, organized and free play. 5. Selectedservicefacilities for related health, welfare and soc al services should be in joint use facilities.. Junior High Schools 5. Junior high schools should accommodate not only multi-neiaiborh,lod educational functions but moderately specialized citizen service; operations and auxiliary community recreation facilities as well. 7. Junior high schools should be located at the periphery of two or more neighborhoods for optimum service.. If the need for neighborhood ser-ces See Item #5) is not sufficient to justify space allocation ir' t'ie e` emen- tary schools it could be allocated at the junior high level. High ;choo.l s 8. High schools should be the focus; of area -wide; young adult.education as well as a base for adult human development programs. Sites should be. located at or near the intersection of a group of three or more neighbor- hoods and be reasonably accessible by transit. The facility, with adjoin- ing playfield, should be a center for recreational and social programs for youth at a: community level Ind. for supplementary or remedial adult education and selective programs for vocational -and other training.. Branch Libraries 9. One main library facility should be integrated with the City Civic Center. 10.. Several branch libraries should be located throughout the community and. the following location policies are suggested: a.. Each branch should serve 20,000 to 40,000 people,. b. Branch libraries shou.ld be located i'n or adjacent to major activity centers. c. Libraries should be located with consideration given to access by car, bus and, pedestrian (including b:cyclers). PreschoolFacilities 11. Encourage the location of preschool and day care facilities i'n the vicinity of major activity and employment centers. OBJECTIVE #2 Promote leisure time, opportunities r,nd experiences which are-reward- ing re reward ing for the individual CRITERIA: General 1. Establish a comprehensive park plan. 2 Acquisition of major nark and recreation sites should have proper priority over programs and site development. 1. Qevelorntent and maintenance of school -park. recreation areas should he shared jointly by the school district anti +he City. 4. Parks and recreation areas should be surrounded by public streets to allow maximum access, scenic beauty, minimum conflicts with. other land uses and increased residential property values. 5; Major sites for park and recreation purposes should be acquired in advance of their actual need to assure a desirable location in relation to th., area to be served, 6. Acquisition and. maintenance of shorelines should have high priority in the City park system. , 7. City funds should be available for hand acquisition in those cases where the Comprehensive Plan indicates more open space than the developer is re- quired to dedicate.. Neighborhood Level 8. Local neighborhood facilities should be jointly shared: with elementary schools in each neighborhood., Programs should reflect individual neighbor- hood needs and desires and should take maximum advantage of' site capabilities. 9. Separate park and recreation areas may be necessary to supplement the school -park facilities when the latter is more than one-half mike from a ne, ;;hborhood, Community Lever 10. Major public open space and activity centers should be made available within each quadrant of the City, not only for environmental contrast and passive recreation, but for those major organized active recreation and indoor group. prograrrs which cannot practically be conducted at school centers. 11. Major open spaces should be provided notwithstanding existing or proposed facilities at "higher" governmental levels (county, metro or state) and should incorporate a variety of natural physical elements though not necessarily within each individual park area. 1Since the passive open space involved in canmunity parks should be orignted to the unique natural features of the land which help establish the character for each community, a centrai location in each co:rriun.ity for community park land is not essential, 13. Community center buildings should be served by thoroughfare and transit and be centrally located in relation to its service area. A site within a community park is preferred for efficiency but easy access is of prime importance; 14. If location and size permit, neighborhood facilities can be designated into the community park. 15. A large nature -study preserve should be provided, possibly though not necessarily Is a part of a community park. Small neighborhood preserves should be, acquired through the land development process. 15. A system -of parkways should be developed in the City to link major areas of, interest with special attention given to separation of pedestrian and bicycle traffic from vehicular traffic. 17. It should not be assumed that privately owned open space and recreation areas will continue as such, and therefore, the City should make plans to either acquire these facilities or develop their own. 18 The preservation and treatment of open space shall be a major consideration in planning and review of ail types of development within the City. OBJECTIVE #3: Provide for the development of adequate preventative, corrective and rehabilitative facilities.

Born Rembrandt Proposal (northwest corner I-494 and County Road 9) Attached herewith is cortmunica.tion from Mr. Ray, Community Development Coordinator, notifying the Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission that the Planning Ccmmission elected to defer a Rezoning request of the Rembrandt proposal umtil the Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission can advise them of an acceptable trail layout along two proposed developments and especially the appropriate location where the trail system should cross County Road 9. Staff observes that the trail crossing from the Criterion Mixed Planned Unit Development identified in attachment 3 is located approximately 890 -feet west of the. intersection of I-494 and County Road 9 and it seems appropriate that the trail crossing for the Rockford Road office commercial. complex proposed by Rembrandt Enterprises should cross Rockford Road (County Road. 9) in approximately the same general location. It is a staff observation that Rembrandt Enterprises proposes to place the required trail corridor in an allignment corres ponding to the adopted trail. system plan. Staff recommends that the trail crossing for Rembrandt Enterprises coincide with the trail crossing location for Criterion Homes.. Should the Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission concur with Staff, it would be appropriate for the Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission to endorse Staff's recommendation and forward that endorsement to the Planning Commission for consideration. on thrn, _Director Parks and Recreation jnld CITY OF PLYMOUTH 3025 HARBOR LANE, PLYMOUTH, N41NNESOTA 55441 TELEPHONE (612) 559-2800 MEMO DATE, Mcaj 24, .1979 TQi Jon Born, Director of Park &Recreation.

Staff advised Planning Commission that review of the Rembrandt proposal should also consider the relationship of this proposal to the proposed community trail corridor adjacent to the east bound of the said property. Staff expressed concern of 'the manner in which the. community trait tight cross County Road 9 relative to the Rembrandt project and the Criterion development proposed south of County Road 9. Planning Commission elected to defer rezoning request of the Rembrandt proposal until matters regarding the pedestrian circulation plan, trail corridor and Berkshire Lane redesign are resolved. Afore specifically, the Planning Commission is relying on P ,AC to advise them of an ac- ceptable; trait layout along the said two proposed developments and especially the appropriate location where the trail system should cross County Road 9.

Per the Commission's rec\:-meridation and the City Council's concurrence earlier this year, the property sboulu be reguided from. I-1 planned industrial) to CL (limited business). 'This is in recognition. that due to physical constraints on the property (primarily related to soil suitability), more efficient land use can be realized with a coinmar- cial type development rather than an industrial development. 2. Rezoning. Staff believes the B-1 (office lbrated, business) district is appropriate for this area. It recognizes both -the accessibility of the site as well as its proxijrtity to developing residential areas near by. The general development plan suggests a variety of service uses as wc..'11 as professional buildings and the hotel/convention complex.

Born SUBJECT; Pf`law. well RPI;D. Concept The Planning, Commission has requested that the Parks and Recreation Advisory Co, -mission review the Concept and forward a recommendation to Council determining: park and.open space needs for the proposed residential Planned Unit Development presented by Pflaumwell. The. 175 acre site is located in walking neighborhood ,#15 and projects 323 single family detached residential lots with a total density of approximately 2 units per acre. The estimated population saturation for this neighborhood,excluding the area south of the existing County Road 9,is estimated.at 2,400 to 3,400 persons., The 1975 edition of the Plymouth Planning and Development Strategy booklet iden,tifi'es a proposed neighborhood park for this neighborhood and the adopted trail system plan identifies a proposed collector trail corridor for this neighborhood connecting Plymouth Creek with the trail proposed for th,ul Minneapolis Sault St, Marie Railroad Eine, The Pflaumwell Residential Planned Unit Developmcnt will contribute; an estimated 1,000 persons to an existing population of 145 persons. The Planning Commission has taken action endorsing the parks and Recreation advisory Commission recomnendtition of April 1978 for park. size ranges. acres per thousand). Neighborhood parks may range in size frcln a low of 1.5 acres per 1,000 population to a high of 2.5 acres per 1,000 population, with an optimum: guide of 2.0 acres per thousand popul(tion. When reviewing this proposal the Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission may wish to consider 'the following factors: 1:, With this type. of &,vi;lopment, the developer could be required to dedicate 10% of the land or approxiiwtaiy 17.5 acres for pare purposes; 2) Could dedicate land for public park purposes and contribute fees -in -lieu of land dedication; or, 3) Contribute only fees -in -lieu, TFe issue is whether public park land.and trailis needed and if so, how much. It is Staff's observation that, with a dlevelopmc.it. of of this size and as it relates to the entire. neighborhood`, it would be prudent to require land dedication for public park purposes based upon the estimated population saturation and the optimum park size range for a neighborhoo.= park.. Staff also observes that the trail systLm plan addresses a trail, corridor as it affects. the proposed.Nroject site. It is Staff's reco rendation that 1) land be dedicated for public park purposes based upon projected population saturation and size ranges for parks; 2) that trail corridor dedication be required for the proposed trail; and, 3) that fees -in -lieu be paid to equal the total parks dedication requirement after giving credit for land dedication. Should the Advisory Commission concur with Staff's recommendation, it would be appropriate for the Commission -to forward an endorsement to Council for consideration. r,), rec or s k ark.and Recreation; k X k ; a Y : "' i .. i iw Y,' u \ a ` y .

HUMA,`, DEVELOPMENT Encourage the developient of a broad range of eduzational and learnong opportunities and an aw-areness of these choices. CRITERIA General 1. Coordinate with school districts in school site selection utili inq the criteria suggested by the State School Buildinq Planning and Jevelorment Office. Z. Encourage joint development and utilization of education, r icre tion and socialservice facilities and services. E1 inentary Schools 3. Sites should be centrally located in neighborhoods to assure a residential. setting for its function and to maximize the potential for convenient and safe walk to school for those in the service area. 4. Neighborhood playgrounds should adjoin elementary schools for common facility use. These facilities should accommodate active, organized and. free. play.. 5., Selected service facilities for related health, welfare and soc al services should be i'n joint use facilities.

Junior high schools should' be located at the periphery oftwo or more neighborhoods for optimum service. If the need for neighborhood ser -ices See Item. #5) is not sufficient to justify space allocation in Vie e'emen- tary schools it could be allocated at the junior high level. Nigh schools 8. High schools shouldbe the focus of area -wide young adult education as wellas a base: for adult human development programs. Sites should be located at or near the intersection of a group of three or more neighbor- hoods and be reasonably accessible by transit, The facility:, with adjoin- ing p.layfield, should be a center for recreational and social' programs for youth at a community level and for supplementary or remedial adult education and.selective programs for vocational -and other training.

Promote l0sure time 0000rtunities and experiences which are reward- ing for the individual CRITERIA: General 1. Establish a comprehensive park plan. 2. Acquisition of major oark and recreation sites should have groper priority over programs and. site development. I. Oevelo rent and maintenance of. school -park recreation areas should be shareet icintly by the school district and the City.. x 4. Parks and recreation areasshould be surrounded by public streets to allow maxitnum access, scenic beauty, minimum conflicts with other land uses and. increased*residential property values. S. Major sites for park and recreation purposes shculd be acquired in advance of thein actual need tc assure a desirable location in relation to th, area to be served. b. Acquisition and maintenance of shorelines should; have high priority in the. City park system. 7 City funds should be availahle for land acquisition in those: cases where the Comprehensive Plan indicates more open space than the developer is re qu.ired to dedicate. Neighborhood Level 8. Local ;neighborhood facilities should be jointly shared with elementary schools in each neighborhood. Programs should reflect individual neighbor- hood needs and desires and should take maximum advantage of site capabilities. 9., Separate: park and recreation, areas may be necessary to supplement the school -park facilities when the latter is more tfEan one-half mile from a. neighborhood'. Community Level 10. Major public open. space and activity centers; should se rude available within each quadrant of the City, not only for environmental contrast and passive recreation, but for those, major orgat,ized active recreation and indoor group prograrr;s which cannot practically be conducted at school centers. 11.Major open spaces should be provided notwithstanding existing or- proposed facilities at "higher" governmental levels (county, metro or state) and should incorporate a variety of natural physical elements though not necessarily within each individual park area. i, 12. Since the passive open space involved i'n community parrs should be oriented to the unique natural features of tine land which help est abliwh the r character for each community, a central location in each coutunity for community park land is; not essential, 13 CoMnurity center buildings should be served by thoroughfare and transit and be centrally located, in relat on to it i service area. A site within a community park, ks preferred for efficiency, but easy access is of prime importance. 14. If location and size permit, neighborhood facilities can be designated into the community park. I5 A large nature -study preserve should be provided, possibly though not necessarily as a. part of a community park. Small neighborhood; preserves should be acquiredthrough 'che land development process. 16, A system of parkways should be developed in the City to link major areas of interest with special attention given to separation of pedestrian and, bicycle traffic from vehicular traffic:. la'. It should not be assumed that: privately owned open space and recreation areas will continue as such, anI therefore, the City should make plans to either acquire these facilities or develop their own.. 18. The preservation and treatment of open space shall be a tvajor cons>ideration in, planning and review of all types of development within the City. OBJECTIVE #r3: Provide.for the development of adequate preventative, corrective and rehahilitati;ve facilities.
